Idea #77

The face off for Round Two is about to be under way (see Idea #76).

Richard Dawson

Welcome back to The Feud! 

(beat)

Brian? Craig? Come on up.

Brian from Channel Four and Craig from Channel Nine come to the face off podium. Craig extends his hand to shake Brian's. Brian goes to shake his hand and Craig quickly pulls his hand away and smoothes his hair in a slick motion. Brian quickly punches Craig in the face. A brawl breaks out between both news teams. Richard Dawson gets caught in the middle.

Cut to Richard Dawson standing at the face off podium. His nose is bandaged and both of his eyes are bruised.

Richard Dawson

Welcome back to The Feud!

(groans and holds side)

We're going to try something different. We're going to do the face off portion from where the current contestants are standing. They are going to yell out an answer and whoever yells out the best answer first, wins the turn. Brian? Craig? Ready?

Brian has a bandage under his right eye and Craig is missing two teeth when he smiles.

Richard Dawson

Ron

Ron and his news team laugh.

Richard Dawson

Ron

Richard Dawson

Let's keep this moving. Name a fruit you can take your family to pick.

Brian

Apples!

Richard Dawson

I heard apples. Show me apples.

It shows the board with six possible answers. After a pause, the number one answer plate flips to show "APPLES               55." Ron and the gang high five each other.

Richard Dawson

Number one answer.

(winces)

I think I'm going to host from over here. Besides, I don't want to get too close to "Right Hook" Tamland over there. You have fists like your first name.

Brick

I drink a lot of milk.

Richard Dawson

Champ.

Blood starts to fall out of Richard Dawson's ear.

Richard Dawson

Champ, name a-

Richard Dawson's eyes roll back a little and he sways before steadying himself.

Ron

Are you ok, Dawson?

Richard Dawson

I'm fine. Champ-

Richard Dawson falls to the floor. The show cuts to commercial.
