* Ah Lian/Ah Huey join hands *
TV Compere: "Ah Lian, you've done very well so far -
$500,000 and one lifeline left -- phone a friend.
The next question will give you the top prize of one million dollars if you get it right. But if you get it wrong, you will drop back to $32,000. Are you ready?"
Ah Lian: "Sure, I want to go!"
Compere: "Which of the following birds does not build its own nest?
Is it: A-Robin B-Sparrow C-Cuckoo D-Thrush
Remember Lian it's worth 1 million dollars."
Lian: "I think I know, but not really leh! No, I dunno. I'd want to phone a friend, want to make sure.
Compere: "Yes, who, Ah Lian, do you want to phone?
Lian: "I'll phone my friend Ah Huey (ringing)
Ah Huey: "Hello?"
Compere: "Hello Ah Huey, it's the TV compere here from Who Wants to be a Millionaire. I have Ah Lian here and she is doing really well on $500,000, but needs your help to be a millionaire. The next voice you hear will be Ah Lian's and she'll read you the question. There are 4 possible answers and 1 correct answer and you have 30 seconds to answer. Fire away Lian."
Lian: "Chin cheem ahh, which one of the following birds does not build its own nest?
Is it: A-Robin B-Sparrow C-Cuckoo D-Thrush
Huey: "Aiyah, Lian, this one easy lah! It's a Cuckoo."
Lian: "You sure or not"
Huey: "Belly sure."
Lian: "Thanks Huey." (hangs up)
Compere: "Well, do you want to stick on $500,000 or play on for the million?"
Lian: "I want to play, I'll go with C- Cuckoo"
Compere: "Is that your final answer?"
Lian: "It is."
Compere: "Are you confident?"
Lian: "Yes. Ah Huey very choon one."
Compere: "Ah Lian, you have $500,000 and you said C-Cuckoo. You're right! You have just won ONE MILLION DOLLARS. Here is your cheque. You have been a great contestant and a real gambler. Audience please put your hands together for Ah Lian." (clapping)
That night Ah Lian calls on Ah Huey and brings her to Zouk for a celebration drink. As they sip their champagne, Ah Lian turns to Ah Huey and asks, "Tell me Huey, how in Tua Pek Kong's name did you know that it was the Cuckoo that does not build its own nest??
Ah Huey: "You dunno meh? Everybody knows that a cuckoo lives in a clock."
