Jim Lampley: Hello, everybody, I'm Jim Lampley. Today, we're in Bed-Stuy for the World Checkers Championship, a showdown between Tonya and Drew. In the past, Drew has routinely schooled Tonya at checkers, but today, Tonya is tremendously motivated, because three dollars are on the line. The money's on the table. Let's go to the action. [round bell dings] Tonya is the first to move, making the play for Drew's front pieces. [crowd cheering] That looks like it could have been a setup by Tonya. Drew is gonna have to pay for that move. Oh, there's a tremendous move by Drew. Here comes Tonya again. All you can say to that move is, "King me." Tonya's on the defensive again. That could be part of her plan. And look at that! A double jump. Drew never saw it coming. Drew is holding on, but there's every chance today... he's going to get beaten by a girl. Ah. There's another amazing move by Tonya. She's really got Drew on the ropes now. One jump, two jumps... what a move. That's unbelievable. Can Tonya come back now? Whoa! The impossible has happened. Tonya jumps all of Drew's remaining checkers all at once. [bell dings] Tonya has won the game.
[audience cheering wildly]
Tonya: I won! I won! [singsongy:] You lost. I won. You lost. Now, give me my three dollars.
Drew: You cheated.
Tonya: Did not.
Drew: Did too.
Tonya: No, I didn't.
Rochelle: What is going on in here? You two are screaming like you don't have a mother.
Jim Lampley: A dispute has broken out, and under the rules of the championships, Mom is here to settle it.
Drew: Tonya cheated.
Tonya: No, I didn't. I beat Drew in checkers, and now he owes me three dollars.
Rochelle: And you're gambling, too?! You ain't gonna be happy until somebody comes over here and breaks every knuckle in this family.
Jim Lampley: So Tonya over Drew in a checkers match to remember right here at the Palace in Bed-Stuy. I'm Jim Lampley. Good night.
