begging me for money.

How is that not my business?

How long has it been?

It's been 16 years, and

I turned everything in my life around.

But you haven't.

Look at you.

You're still mired in a pit of

poor health and crippling debt.

I'd hate to see what you

looked like 16 years ago.

I mean, really.

What's the point?

Please.

Why are you doing this?

Because I want to help you.

Look...

It's safe to say that drinking

is what ruined your life in

the first place, isn't it?

So what if... drinking again

could help you save it?

- What?

- I will give you

$10,000 if you drink that

glass of wine.

Oh.

No.

No, no way, no.

You don't understand.

You have no idea how hard I've worked.

Ah, but Iris here, uh, she

just devoured a pile of meat,

and she's a devout vegetarian,

and you won't drink a little wine.

It's totally different.

Why are you doing this to me?

$50,000.

If you won't drink...

this decanter of the finest

scotch that money can buy,

right now.

This is what, a test?

It's not real.

Oh, no...

I am deadly serious, Conway,

and you know that I am.

The glass of wine or the

whole damn decanter.

Now, it seems to me that the

wine is...

That's pretty simple, isn't it?

But the scotch.

Well, we could consider that a,

a momentary lapse to...

change your life.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

So what would you rather do?

That's a good man.

Thanks.

Bevans.

That was brilliant, as usual.

My compliments to Marcel.

Regarding tonight's game.

Please allow me to alleviate

any concerns you have.

We haven't already been playing?

Oh, no, the game has yet

to officially begin.

What exactly is the game?

Well, it is not a quiz or a

trivia contest, nor is it a test

of brute strength or athleticism.

At its core, it's just a

children's game, and I would

wager that some of you

here this evening have played

"would you rather?" at some point.

So, how do we play?

In each round, each player

will be given a choice between

"a" or "b", uh, and usually, uh,

neither choice is very attractive.

Let's see if I can give

you an example:
Travis.

Travis, would you rather...

kiss Iris or Peter?

Guess I'd kiss Iris.

Very good.

Now, this is where our version

of the game is different.

Whatever you choose, you must

act upon, so in this case,

Travis, you must walk

over and kiss Iris.

You're gonna make us kiss each other?

No, no, no, nothing

like that, my dear.

No, that was just off

the top of my head.

Now, as the game continues,

with one dilemma after another,

eliminating players as we go

until we have a winner.

And how are players eliminated?

Well, if a player is no longer

capable of continuing...

Well, for whatever reason...
