KRIS: Magandang gabi, mga kapamilya. Sa game show na ito, importante ang
sagot sa nag-iisang katanungang, ?Deal or No Deal?? Ang ating player
ngayong gabi ay walang iba kundi ang fastest-rising household services
manager na si Inday!
[Umentra si Inday at nagpalakpakan ang mga tao.]
KRIS: Ok, Inday, choose a briefcase.
INDAY: Kris, I would opt for case #4 please
KRIS: Briefcase # 4... si Sharmel. Inday, matanong ko lang, how did you
come up with the number 4?
INDAY: Oh, do you really want to know, Kris?
KRIS: Oo naman. I'm sure, kaya ko namang maintindihan yung sasabihin mo,
eh.
INDAY: The number 4 was acquired based on a probability distribution
function that involves integrating up to an area greater than or equal to
that random number which should be generated between 0 and 1 for proper
distributions.
KRIS: Ok, Inday, choose 6 briefcases to open.
INDAY: I would opt for 7, 24, 12, 2, 15 and 20.
KRIS: Wait lang, Inday. Usually, isa-isa lang ang pagbubukas natin ng
case...
INDAY: Why is that? As if I can change the outcome if we're to open a case
each time I blurt out a number as opposed to opening each case immediately
one after the other right?
KRIS: Hayyy... babaguhin pa talaga mechanics? (bulong sa sarili) Anwyay,
di bale na lang nga... tuloy tayo. Number 7. Natalie, buksan na!
[Sumigaw ang udience ng, "LOWER! LOWER!"]
INDAY: (tahimik)
KRIS: Teka lang, bago natin buksan... Inday, usually ang mga contestant
natin ay sumisigaw ng "LOWER" every time magbubukas ng case.
INDAY: Kris, I guess that's not the way I was taught in grade school. You
see, I was taught that we should only use the comparative form of the word
or add "ER" to the adjective if we are comparing two things. And since it
is only the first briefcase that we are going to open, we have nothing to
compare it to. Am I right?
[Natahimik ang audience at napaisip.]
KRIS: Oo nga, 'no?! Sige, Natalie, buksan mo na.
[Ang laman ng briefcase #7 ay piso. Palakpakan ang mga tao.]
KRIS: Good start! Ano ?yung next case mo ulit?
INDAY: Case# 24, please
KRIS: Chloe... buksan na...
[Sumigaw ulit ang audience ng, "LOWER! LOWER!"]
INDAY: (tahimik lang)
KRIS: Wait lang, guys. Inday, may nabuksan nang case, bakit hindi ka pa
rin sumisigaw ng, "Lower"?
INDAY: Oh my goodness, Kris! How long have you been doing this? Have you
ever encountered a value that is lower than a peso in this game? Tell me,
is there any value left lower than the one we just opened?
[Napaisip ulit ang audience at natahimik]
KRIS: Aarrgghh!!! Chloe, buksan na lang nga, pati na rin ?yung 12, 2, 15
and 20, buksan na rin para matapos na. (naiirita na)
[At sunud-sunod na ngang binuksan ang mga briefcase na pinili ni Inday.]
[Nag-ring ang phone.]
INDAY: Ahh, Kris - to save more time, can you tell Banker that I'm not
interested in his first offer? In the history of this game of chance, I
have yet to see someone accept a first offer from the Banker. It's quite
pathetic and pretentious for contestants to pause and look around the
audience as if asking for advice before ultimately rejecting the first
offer. I mean, come on, isn't that a waste of airtime?
BANKER: Potahhh!!! [narinig sa set kahit sarado ang kuwarto ni Banker]
[Ito ang unang pagkakataon na marinig ng audience ang boses ni Banker sa
Deal or No Deal.]
