After the break, we get a flashback to first Million-Dollar winner John Carpenter.
John is in the audience with his wife, son, and father. John’s father remarks that John never needs his help. John’s wife wanted a trip to Paris with the million, and Debbie’s been there twice…before she knew him! So he has not fulfilled her wish yet.

Rebecca ponders as time “dramatically” ticks away and then “guesses” the right answer, hoping her husband won’t “kill her” if she’s wrong.

It’s Rebecca and Tim’s 10th anniversary on August 7. They met when both worked at a Mountain Jack’s- she was a hostess, he was a waiter. They can’t remember who made the first move, although Rebecca says “there was a lot of alcohol involved” (transcriptionist's note: according to Seinfeld, that’s how just about everyone gets together, since 95% of the population is undate-able! I'll buy that)

Rebecca decides to walk with $50,000, but not before more “drama” as she sits silently as time ticks away before finally saying she'll walk.
