Script Factoring, a la Shmoop.

00:05

Hey boys and girls… who’s ready to play…

00:07

FACT… or… FICTION!? Fact or Fiction – the game where the losers

00:12

get punished, and the winners… get nothing! I’m Shmuck Willowy and I’m your plastic

00:17

host! Okay, let’s get started!

00:20

Mike from Minnesota – 2, 3 and 4 are factors of 24… fact or fiction?

00:24

<<Mike voice>> Um… uh… fiction?

00:24

What – OWWWW! <<end of voice>> Ooh, no, so sorry to have to do that to you.

00:33

Unfortunately for you, all three are factors.

00:35

24 is divisible by 2 – it’s an even number so that one should have been easy.

00:40

24 divided by 3 is 8, so that one’s a factor as well.

00:44

And 4 divides evenly into 24 as well… strike three, you’re out.

00:48

<<Mike voice>> OWW! Hey! What was that for? <<end of voice>>

00:52

Ya know, I’m not really sure. Sometimes I just get this twitch.

00:55

Okay, Michelle from Montana – 2, 3 and 4 are factors of 17… fact or fiction?

01:02

<<Michelle voice>> Fiction?

01:04

That is absolutely correct! 17 is an odd number, so you know 2 and 4 won’t make the cut.

01:09

And it turns out 3 wasn’t invited to the party either.

01:12

<<Michelle voice>> Yay me! What do I win? <<end of voice>>

01:15

Your prize is… that you’re not Mike.

01:17

<<Mike voice>> OWWW! Ooh… you know what that sound means!

01:22

<<Audience: LIGHTNING ROUND!!>>

01:24

That’s right! Okay, Mike and Michelle – ready? Here we go.

01:29

7 is a factor of 13, fact or fiction?

01:33

<<Michelle>> Fiction.

01:34

Correct! 6 is a factor of 28, fact or fiction?

01:39

<<Mike>> Fact.

01:40

Incorrect! 3 is a factor of 300, fact or fiction?

01:45

<<Michelle>> Fiction.

01:46

Oooh, that’s incorrect.

01:48

<<Mike>> OWW! Stop DOING that! I didn’t even hit my buzzer!

01:53

5 is a factor of 16, fact or fiction?

01:56

<<Michelle>> Fiction.

01:57

Correct!

01:58

<<Mike>> OWW! She got it RIGHT!!! OWWW!

02:00

Ah, that sound means we’re out of time here at Fact or Fiction…

02:03

See you next time… as we play the game that has no winners – only pain!

02:08

Blurb: Ready to play Fact or Fiction? The game with

02:15

no winners… only pain? Sounds like a blast, right? Step right up… try your luck! You’re

02:25

gonna need it.
