(After ten rounds)

Sally: We're in big trouble, Jason. Nick is beating us by a long shot.

Jason: Impossible! Well, I'm not giving up yet. It's not over till the fat lady sings!

Sally: OK, comeback kid. Here's you last question: "How many times did Robin Williams win the Oscar for Best Actor?"

Jason: Hmm. Let's see...there was Good Morning, Vietnam, Dead Poet's Society, The Fisher King...Three, right?

Sally: Nope, sorry! Actually, Robin Williams has never won an Oscar for Best Actor--only for Best Supporting Actor!

(十回合后)

莎莉：我们麻烦大了，杰森。尼克大幅领先我们。

杰森：不可能!我还没有放弃。胜负到要最后一刻才见分晓!

莎莉：好吧，大逆转小子。这是你的最后一题：罗宾威廉斯得过几次奥斯卡最佳男主角?

杰森：呣。我想想……有《早安，越南》、《春风化雨》、《奇幻城市》……三次，对不对?

莎莉：不对，很抱歉!其实罗宾•威廉斯从未得过奥斯卡最佳男主角——他只得过最佳男配角!
