Ryan Fenster game 4.
CONTESTANTS
Justin Earnshaw, an English teacher from Cheyenne, Wyoming
Sara Helmers, an attorney from Washington, D.C.
Ryan Fenster, a banker from SeaTac, Washington (whose 3-day cash winnings total $67,399)
OPENING REMARKS
Alex: Thank you, Johnny. Thank you, ladies and gentlemen, for making me feel so welcome. Good to have you with us. I think it's safe to say after three lopsided wins that we can now start referring to our young champion, Ryan, as someone who is really good. But no matter how good our champions have been in the past, they wind up being replaced by somebody who defeats them. Sara and Justin are here to attempt that today. I'll wish all three of you good luck and put you to work now in the Jeopardy! Round. Here are the categories for you...

CONTESTANT INTERVIEWS
Alex: Justin Earnshaw is an English teacher from Cheyenne, Wyoming. Tell me how you met your wife.
Justin: We met on stage. Downtown Cheyenne has the annual old-fashioned melodrama. It's an old-time vaudevillian show. I was playing the hero, my first stage role. She was the "hero-iney", and by the end, we fell in love and made plans to get married, so it all worked out.
Alex: Good for you.
Alex: All right, Sara Helmers, attorney from Washington, D.C. Studying American Sign Language. Are you good at it?
Sara: Getting there.
Alex: All right. I can win this game.
[Sara repeats the phrase in American Sign Language.]
Alex: Okay.
Alex: [Referencing Sara] She's looking at you, champ, she's looking at you.
Ryan: Welcome to try.
Alex: She's got your number. Ryan Fenster is our champion. We keep introducing you as a banker.
Ryan: Yeah.
Alex: What kind of banking are we talking about?
Ryan: I am the vault teller for--can I say the bank?
Alex: Sure.
Ryan: For Columbia Bank in Seattle. And it is my job to manage all of the cash in the branch.
Alex: Oh, you're the guy I wanna know.
Ryan: I know, I know. Everybody wants to know me.
Alex: Okay, all right.

(Alex: I can tell you guys are big football fans.)

[Audience laughter]
TALKIN' FOOTBALL $400: Tom Landry perfected the shotgun formation with this team

[Audience laughter]
(Alex: If you guys ring in and get this one, I will die. Who are the [*]? We're gonna take a break. I have to talk to them.)
