(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!

莎莉：我們麻煩大了，杰森。尼克大幅領先我們。

杰森：不可能!我還沒有放棄。勝負到要最后一刻才見分曉!

莎莉：好吧，大逆轉小子。這是你的最后一題：羅賓威廉斯得過幾次奧斯卡最佳男主角?

杰森：呣。我想想……有《早安，越南》、《春風化雨》、《奇幻城市》……三次，對不對?

莎莉：不對，很抱歉!其實羅賓•威廉斯從未得過奧斯卡最佳男主角——他只得過最佳男配角!
