And the actual retail price of the ring is...
$833, and 'Nique wins! And 'Nique, I would like for you to follow me way back here to the big doors again, where we are going to play our third game for something you are going to love! Oh, 'Nique! Oh, how excited you're going to be when you see this!
Rich: A new car! A Chevy Aveo LT sedan, a nice enough car to drive places that you have to get to, because without a car, you won't be able to get to work, and you'll lose your job, and be unable to find another one since you'd have no way of getting to your job. Unless you have a good public transportation system, at least. Comes with standard features, 1.6 liter in-line 4 engine, 4-speed automatic transmission, rear spoiler, cruise control, antilock brake system with engine immobilizer, black granite metallic paint, and XM satellite radio, a Chevy Aveo!Now 'Nique, if I may say so, that is one strikingly beautiful car! It's... that's... a true work of art! It's such a beautiful car, that the thought of you winning it, and it parting with us actually pained me. Pained me, I say! But thankfully, I had a brilliant idea, being a genius and all: I hired an expensive artiste--that's with a silent e, mind you--to paint a beautiful painting of that beautiful automobile! Along with its price, of course: I mean, the price is the most important, brilliant part of this work. It's junk without the price, right?
Anyway--ooh, I'm on pins and needles here--it's time the the unveiling of the greatest masterpiece in all of history! Mona Lisa, who's that? Last Supper, adios! There's a new standard in town! Ooh, this is so exciting! Voila!
*sniff*
Isn't it beautiful? It's so... so... so-so. I overpaid. You know, I really should have learned my lesson from Episode 13, and not hired the same guy... I admit, I admit, it was foolish on my part. I knew I shouldn't have paid him in full until he finished the job.
Anyway, 'Nique, I can't lie: I'm a bit disappointed with this piece. I mean, part of the price is painted: it is a $16,000 automobile. And it does end in 35. But that middle number... it's eating at me on the inside. I need this work finished! I... say, a thought occurs to me. If you can complete this masterpiece, I would be so grateful that I'll give you this car! I mean, you have to paint the right number, of course, but really, a new car for just painting one litty bitty number ain't a bad deal, right?
We have the price of the car over there. Yeah, it would probably be smart of me to unveil that before asking you to work on this painting, but I think it would be more fun to have you work on it before knowing the price. Sure, I risk having you completely defile my painting, but we'll do it this way, anyway. Just paint the right number and that car is yours!
