CONTESTANT INTERVIEWS
Alex: You're gonna love this one. Tracey Rhys from New York is in the Order of the Blessed Saint Scully the Enigmatic. What on Earth is that?
Tracey: Yes, well, it's, uh, some people would call it an Internet cult. We prefer to think of it as a cyber-abbey, uh, devoted to the wisdom of the character of Dana Scully from The X-Files.
Alex: I see.
Tracey: The brothers and sisters in Saint Scully.
Alex: I made one brief appearance on that series years and years ago, and people still ask me about that.
Tracey: Oh, I--believe me, the sisters will want to know all about my time on Jeopardy! and what Alex is really like.
Alex: Okay, good.
Alex: Laura Sikes Jambon.
Laura: Hi.
Alex: French for "ham". From Rochester. Had a pygmy goat in college.
Laura: I did.
Alex: Why?
Laura: Uh, for the cuteness factor. Yeah.
Alex: Well, there are a lot of other things that are cute. How 'bout a little cat?
Laura: I had a little cat, and one time my little goat--
Alex: But the goat ate it?
Laura: --ate a chunk of her fur. She didn't enjoy that.
Alex: No.
Laura: Billy also enjoyed eating a lot of things, like a 3-wick candle, an entire bag of Hershey Kisses, and unfortunately, he met his demise by eating a bag of Quikrete.
[Laughter]
Laura: [Turning to audience, reacting indignantly to their laughter] That's not--!
[Turning to audience]
Alex: Wait, wait a minute. Was it a 60-pound or an 80-pound bag, because...
Laura: Alex, you're being insensitive.
[Laughter]
Alex: [Laughing hysterically] You're right.
[Laughter]
Alex: Uh... [laughing] A.J., I don't want to talk to you.
[Laughter]
Alex: Uh, who's in charge here? You have command of the board. Make a--make a selection.
[Apparent edit]
Alex: All right.
A.J.: Uh, let's go with, uh...
Alex: I can't follow that. You can't follow that.
