The Prison Cable Network
proudly presents...

Win, Lose or Draw...

with your host, , Angel Martinez.!

- [Music Ends]
- Ay, ay, ay, ay!

All right! Ay!
Gracias, Warden Thomas.

Tonight's a very special night for us
because...

I'm going to give you hint.
¡Muchachas.!

- [Howling, Whistling]
- The women...

of the Cleveland Highlands
Correctional Facility are here
to play our game with us.

- So, first, let's meet the ladies.
- [Men Howling]

First up, there's Blaze.

[Cheering, Applause]

That's one hot mama.

Next is Lobotomy.

She spends her free time
volunteering for medical experiments.

And last, but not least, Buster.

[Cheering, Applause]

You might know her last husband.
He sings soprano for the prison choir.

- Nothing wrong with that, man!
- [Laughing]

Now, are you ready
to meet our reigning champions?

Even though you might know them,
I'll do it again, okay?

First up, Charlie.

[Cheering, Applause]

- Next, Tiny.
- Ha ha ha...

Tiny! Right!

And of course, Big Hector.

[Charlie]
Groovy, Hector.!

Oh, and of course,
next to Big Hector, like always, Chicken.

[Charlie Clucking]

- [Cheering, Applause]
- Now let's play the game.

We'll start with the ladies, okay?
Hey, Blaze, come on.

- Go on, Blaze.! Go on. Whoo.!
- Hey, Blaze...

why don't you tell us
a little bit of something about yourself?

Well, Angel, I collect matchbooks...

I love to barbecue...

and my idea of a romantic evening...

is to curl up
in front of a blazing building.

Ay yi yi yi yi!

Huh? Is it just me or am I getting
really, really hot? [Laughs]

Sounds great.
Okay, let's begin, okay?

Our first clue will be an emotion.

Rage.! A-Anger.!

- [Angel] No, no, no, no.
- No, no! Bloodlust!

- Bloodlust.!
- No, I think more of...
it's a happy emotion, okay?

Total numbness.

I have to have you, Buster!
I want you!

- Vasectomy!
- Never mind.

Uh, Rupture? Rupture.!

A hernia! A ruptured hernia!

No, no, no. It's a happy emotion.
Anyone?

- Take the blue pills?
- [Buzzer]

Time's up.
Guys, can you steal this one?

- [Chattering]
- Is it...

the satisfaction
of stabbing a guard times?

- [Bell Dinging]
- That's it, man!

- [Men Howling]
- [Chattering]

Stabbing a guard times!
I should have got that one!

- Now, Charlie, come up, man.
- All right, man.

Hey, Charlie,
have you done a lot of drawing?

Not really, man.
I've done a lot of sculpture, though.

Mostly, I like to carve human figures.

- [Cackling]
- Ay yi yi yi yi.

- Oh.
- Okay, Charlie...

let me tell you a little bit
about this puzzle, okay?

Wait a second!

- Is it a place?
- Yes. How... How do you know that?

I'm right inside your head.
[Giggles]

Oh.! Oh, I got this one.
Uh, is it a... a... a woman?

No. A buxom woman.

No. A buxom woman with big breastesses?

I said a place, man!

- A woman with really, really
big breastesses in a place?
- [Buzzer]

Uh, no, no.
Ladies, can you steal this one?

The Continental United States?

- That's it, man! The Continental United States.
- [Bell Dinging]

You guys should have got that one, man.
You guys weren't even thinking, man.

I think if you look again...

it's really a woman with two big breasts
in a place.

Oh, yes, yes. As a matter of fact, he's right.
She's right in Florida.

I didn't see her.
Big Hector's team wins again.

- I'm very sorry.
- [Bell Dinging]

- [Cheering]
- [Grumbling]

That's bull crap!
[Shouting, Indistinct]

I want you, Buster!
I got to have you, baby!

- I gotta...
- Put your head between your legs.

I want you Lobotomy! I got to have you!
[Laughing Maniacally]

- I want you!
- Just breathe. Just breathe, man!

Just breathe.

Okay. Now what this means is
is that Big Hector's team...

advances to the speed round, okay?

All right. Now, they'll have seconds
to name Hector's four pictures.

Okay. Come on, Big Hector!
Come up here. Come on.

- Come on, guys!
- Yeah!

[Charlie]
Let's establish a psychic link.!

- Vehicular homicide?
- [Bell Dings]

Yeah!

The dog that told me to sh**t Rick Dees!

- [Bell Dinging]
- [Tiny] Yeah.!

Oh! I know this. Oh.
Oh, Uh, a woman with big breastesses...

uh, on Golden Pond!

- [Bell Dings]
- [Tiny] Yeah.!

Uh, I got this. Uh, birds flying over a woman
with... with big breastesses?

- [Bell Dings]
- Yeah! Yeah!

- [Cheering, Applause]
- [Shouting, Indistinct]

Off of you!

All right! That means your team
has guessed all four of them.

Warden Thomas, can you tell them
what beautiful gifts they have won?

- ♪♪ [Rock]
- [Warden] Well, Big Hector's team...

you've each won an elegant personal
grooming kit from the prison supply house.

And for the prisoner who has everything...

but doesn't want to give it up...
Soap on a Rope.

All right.! Well, that's it.

I hope you enjoyed it.

That's it for Win, Lose or Draw.

Until tomorrow, this is Angel saying...

"Keep drawing, even if it's only scratch marks
on the inside of your cell wall."

♪♪ [Rock Continues]

I know why you're ignoring me.

It's because I'm just little Marsha Warfield.

But you see, Todd, I'm drinking milk.

And when you drink milk...

it helps to build your bones
and make your body stronger.

That way I won't always
be little Marsha Warfield.

In fact, if I keep drinking milk...

one day,
I'm going to be big Marsha Warfield.

You understand what I'm saying, sucker?

As a matter of fact, I think when I am...

I'm just gonna kick the livin' crap out of you.

Come over here. Where you get off...

ignoring me all these years...

huh, you little punk?

Don't you know how sexy I am?

[Announcer]
Milk... it does a body real good.

And so the progress up to this point...

has been about what we expected...

and we expect this progression
to progress the way we expect it to...

at least, that is, our expectation
as to this point in the overall progress.

- Are there any more questions?
- We have heard rumors
of massive troop movements.

Can you tell us anything about that?

I can neither confirm nor deny that. Next?

Why do you still consider men missing...

when we've all seen them
as prisoners of w*r on TV?

I believe I didn't answer that question
at yesterday's briefing.

- Is the gulf still being mined?
- Admiral Keating?

Could you repeat the question, please?

- Is the gulf still being mined?
- Could you repeat it again, please?

- Is the gulf still being mined?
- No comment.

Can you give us any more information
on the b*mb damage assessment?

I believe we have a video
to help illustrate this.

As you can clearly see,
this is a plane flying somewhere.

It drops something and something happens.

There is a thing there. And then afterwards,
there may or may not be a thing there.

I hope that clears everything up.

I have a two-part question.

What would it take to end the w*r...

and will the U.S. Accept a post-w*r Iraq...

with S*ddam Hussein still in power?

I think I can answer that in two ways.
Number one...

that's for me to know and you to find out.

And number two,
ask me no questions, I'll tell you no lies...

your nose is big enough
for a girl twice your size.

Would you ever use nuclear weapons?

I'm not gonna tell, your feet smell...

ask me again, you can go to hell.

That's about all the questions
we have time not to answer today.

The attachés will be
handing out printed copies...

of all the information we didn't give you.

There will be another briefing tomorrow...

and we will be prepared to not answer
any more questions you have then.

- Sir, what time?
- We'd rather not say.

This has been
a particularly non-informative briefing.

We'll be right back to recap
everything they didn't say...

next on C.N.N.

You said yourself you don't know
how to speak to these people.

Okay, let's do it.

Sure, you can applaud for that!

You know,
I could go on forever out here...

for a little musical entertainment.

I'd like to introduce
a very talented songwriter...

and a dear, dear friend of mine...

Thank you!
Thank you very much. All right!

Thank you. All right. Thank you.

And the name is Tubbs.

I've been in this neighborhood over years.

Seen 'em come and go. And I done known
the senator ever since he first come up.

See, to make it in politics,

about this man right here.

From the minute he took office...

You know how boring my life is?
I saw you on Love Connection all five times.

- Hell, I even voted for you!
- You did?

Except for the time your mother
came up and backhanded Chuck,
but, I mean, other than that...

- And you like me? You really like me?
- You know that's right.

Excuse me. Do you think you can please
take this elsewhere? This is a place of business.

Welcome back to Love Connection.

If I'm not Chuck Woolery,

Let's meet our next couple,
back to tell us how their date went.

She's a controversial comedienne
who knows what she wants from a guy...

Andrea Dice Clay!

- Hi, Andrea.
- Yeah. Kiss, kiss.

Hey, Chuck, I, uh,
made a little rhyme for you backstage.

It goes something like this.

Chuck, Chuck, bo-buck,
banana-fanna-fo...

- Okay!
- Whatever.

He considers himself a sensitive guy...

and a man who treats his date like a lady...

even though he's a major movie star.

Say hello to Patrick Swayze!

[Cheering, Applause]

Hello, Chuck.

I just want to say
that I watch this show often and, well...

I love you, man.

That's great, Patrick.

Andrea might be a little more receptive
to that love, however.

- What about it, Andrea?
- Chuck, you know something...

I'm not looking for love, you know?

Just sh... [Beep]
And get out the [Beep] outta my face.

See? It's that very attitude
that made our date such a disaster, Chuck.

What disaster?
I thought it went pretty good.

I mean, we both finished. Ho!

How did the date begin, Pat?

I wanted to take her dancing.

- I like to think of myself
as a pretty good dancer.
- Mm-hmm.

- I was the star of Dirty Dancing and...
- Yeah.

You call that dancing?

In that case, my dog does plenty of dancing
with my couch pillows...

only he's got a [Beep],
you know what I'm saying?

See what I mean, Chuck?
She's an animal!

Oh, stop your whining and complaining.

I'm the one with the carpet burns
on my [Beep]...

for crying out loud!

She's got a point there, Pat.

Hey, I got two of'em, Chuckie.
I seen you looking. What?

- Maybe we should turn up the heat in the studio.
- [Chuckles]

Chuck, I'm into martial arts.

- I've got an incredible body.
- Mm-hmm.

I'm practically a god,
with these streaks and tips in my hair.

- Yeah.
- But I'm also sensitive.

- Mm.
- I only wanted to show Miss Clay...

the finer points of the city.

Oh, come on! I showed you places
on your ceiling you ain't ever seen.

- Ho!
- Well, it looks like Andrea...

wanted Patrick
to live up to his screen image...

while Patrick obviously expected
to date within his own species.

I'm killin' myself.

Let's see who our audience picked for Andrea.

Was it Patrick, Pete Townshend...

or GraceJones?

Well, the audience still picked Patrick...

so if you two'd like to go out again,
we'll pay for it.

Sure, what the hell.
I'll do honey buns again...

if he'll cut his hair in a flat top...

so I got someplace to set my drink...

when [Beep], you know what I'm saying?

What?

Looks like it's up to you, Patrick.

Do you want to go out with Andrea again?

- My mama didn't raise no quitter, Chuck.
- Well, there you have it.

See you next week. In the meantime...

may all of your dates be major
and your carpet burns be minor.
