America: Starting with the acquisition of MGM

Chapter 294 292. I am just an intermediary, you are the murderers

"Moment of Truth" has the audience hooked with just the six basic questions at the beginning.

But it was just about torturing her girlfriend. This girl almost took on everything by herself.

From the smile on her face before taking the stage to the feeling of sitting on pins and needles with a frosty face now, everyone could tell that she really wanted to leave.

"Arthur, now you have received $10,000. You can choose to leave with the money, or you can choose to continue answering questions."

"Next, you only need to answer five questions and you can get $25,000. It has more than doubled. Many people can only get this amount after working for a year."

"Think about it, what are your options?"

"continue!"

"continue!"

"continue!"

…

The audience booed one after another, but it was not a big deal to watch the excitement anyway.

Arthur lowered his head and thought for a moment. A mere US$10,000 was not the purpose of his participation in the show, and it was not enough to meet his immediate needs. At least US$100,000 would be enough for him to repay the loan.

At this time, boundless anger suddenly arose in my girlfriend's heart. Why should I be the only one to suffer? If you want to die, let's all die together!

"Arthur, keep going, don't be afraid!" she encouraged loudly.

Good brother John also waved his fist: "Come on, buddy, you won't be knocked down by a little difficulty, come on!"

Different from his girlfriend's desire to die together, what he thought was that $10,000 was not enough for the two of them to have a rave party, and at least $25,000 was needed. He must encourage his good brother to continue exposing himself.

And the uglier the brother is, the more noble he is, right?

Arthur smacked his lips and said, "I listen to you, I choose to continue answering the questions."

Underwood smiles, as his job is to guide the contestants into exposing themselves to scandal.

"OK, Arthur, I looked at your resume. Although you are young, you have a lot of work experience."

"Yes, I have had two permanent jobs, for my family and for my patients, and more than half a year ago I worked in the family store."

"But I think men should start their own careers, so I resigned and entered the hospital, and now I'm taking the exam for a medical qualification certificate."

"It seems that you are a very enterprising person. How is the family business going?"

"It's not bad. After my father passed away, my brother and I have been working hard under the leadership of our mother."

Underwood looked at his mother: "How is Arthur's working ability? Are you satisfied with him?"

"Yes, he is a good kid and always works hard."

"It seems that your mother approves of your work ability, so please listen to question 7. Do you seduce female customers in your store and have sex with them?"

oh......

Tidbits are always the most popular, and the audience became excited again when they heard this question.

Arthur's mother also took a serious look at her son. This question was either big or small.

On a larger scale, it is a matter of professional ethics, but on a smaller scale, it is only in your own store, and the biggest impact is on the family's reputation.

Good friend John frowned when he heard this question, because Arthur had shown off to himself, and the program crew who revealed this to him did not expect it to be used.

Looking at his mother's face, Arthur nodded: "Yes, I did do it, but only once."

"Sorry mom, I promise it won't happen again."

Mom shook her head slightly in disappointment, but didn't say anything serious.

Underwood looked at her and said, "Aren't you angry when you hear this news?"

Mom shrugged, her tone a little helpless: "I know this is not good, but now that it has happened, and he already knows he was wrong."

"So you want to believe him?"

"Of course, he is my son, and I must believe in him. There is no reason. This is the relationship brought to us by blood."

"Haha...Arthur, what do you think?"

"Of course I hold the same view as my mother. There is no need for a reason for the trust between us."

"OK! Then please listen to the eighth question. Have you ever made false accounts during your tenure in the family?"

Upon hearing this question, my girlfriend suddenly felt happy and clenched her fists tightly.

Damn it, it's your turn.

Mom, who had just acted like the trust between us was impeccable, could not help but twist her body slightly, as if there was a nail sitting under her butt.

How could Arthur feel better? He just promised his mother.

Moreover, this problem is very heart-wrenching. Making false accounts is just a euphemism. As long as you do it, it means you are stealing money.

Once he admits it, although his family will not sue him, they will definitely guard against him in the future.

If there is some money missing from your account, you will become the first target of suspicion.

There is no need to even doubt, everyone will think that it was you who did it.

Underwood looked at her mother: "Ma'am, do you want to know the answer to this question?"

The middle-aged woman shook her head first, then nodded, and then shook her head again. She was confused.

"I...I don't know, leave it to Arthur himself."

"Arthur? Are you prepared to answer this question? If you give up, the $10,000 just now will no longer be yours. Please think carefully."

Sunk costs, sunk costs again, Arthur knew he couldn't give up.

He smiled bitterly, then nodded: "Yes!"

"Oh my god!"

Upon hearing this answer, his mother instantly covered her face, and the audience also booed.

I instantly realized that there was a huge problem with this man's integrity.

Underwood watched the fun and continued to sarcastically say: "Arthur, you are very honest, how do you feel now?"

The other person licked the corner of his mouth, thinking, I want to fucking kill you.

He pretended to be calm: "Yes, not bad. It's much better after I said it. At least I don't have to be troubled by these things anymore."

"It's good that you think like this. You can't be too aggressive. Let's talk about your current job."

"You work in an emergency center and come into contact with all kinds of patients every day."

Arthur nodded: "Yes, people come to the hospital for various diseases, toothache, stomachache, headache, etc. You can always meet all kinds of people."

"Very good, then please listen to question 9. Do you think obese people have abnormal health?"

Hearing this, Arthur scratched his hair in confusion.

This kind of problem is naturally not a problem in China, but in the United States it involves body discrimination.

In China, you can say to your friends and colleagues: "You have gained weight again recently. Lose weight quickly."

Generally speaking, this is a kind reminder and a sign of concern.

But if you dare to say this in the United States, you are guaranteed to lose your job the next day, and you will still not get compensation.

Arthur's brain was racing. He wanted the money, but he didn't want to bear the name of discrimination.

"Yes, I think so."

Shhh…

His answer was immediately greeted with boos from the audience, because there were many fat people sitting in the audience.

Underwood continued the attack: "Arthur, why do you think this way?"

"You know what? There are millions of overweight people watching us right here in front of the screen right now."

“We don’t want it to be this way, but we are born this way.”

Arthur hurriedly made up for himself: "Yes, yes, I understand what you said. I have never had any discriminatory mentality."

"As a practitioner in the medical industry, I feel sad and regretful about this. Every body deserves the best care, that's all."

Underwood smiled, so naive, and dared to quibble.

"Then please listen to question 10. This question is not asked by me, but by a representative of NAFA. Do you know what these letters mean?"

"Uh...not sure."

"It stands for National Association for the Advancement of Obesity Acceptance."

As soon as he finished speaking, a fat man weighing over 250 pounds walked up to the backstage.

Arthur almost blacked out, tnnd, you are playing tricks on me, right?

The fat man looked at Arthur angrily: "Sir, do you think Fatty is disgusting?"

boom!

A flash of thunder flashed in Arthur's head, and he shuddered. He could barely round it just a moment ago. If this question was answered, it would be full discrimination.

He struggled for a while and finally came up with a lame excuse.

"When I was a kid, I was often bullied by a fat guy, which left a deep shadow on my childhood, so I have some resentment towards overweight people."

"My answer to this question is Yes!"

The big fat man immediately got angry: "Sir, you suffered difficulties when you were a child. You should only vent your resentment on him personally, not on us as a whole."

"As a doctor, don't you know that many people are obese due to medication and hormones? For example, I am."

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, but I really have no malice and no discrimination. I hope you can understand."

The big fat man stepped down angrily, and Underwood continued to say: "It's hard to admit what's in your heart, but you did it."

"As long as you answer one more question, you can take away $25,000, continue?"

Having come to this point, there is no other way but to continue.

"go ahead."

"Okay, Arthur, this is a personal question for me. I have always been curious. Will doctors take an oath like soldiers when they serve?"

It's a very common question. Even if you know there is a pitfall, you are embarrassed not to answer it.

Arthur nodded: "Yes, we need to swear the Hippocratic Oath, which is an ancient oath that has been passed down for thousands of years."

"What is the content?"

"The full text is a bit long, but it probably means saving lives and healing the wounded, treating all patients equally, etc."

After saying this, he regretted it. He had just discriminated against fat people, how could he have the nerve to say that he would treat everyone equally.

"Does this mean that all patients are the same in your eyes?"

"right!"

"Then please listen to question 11. If Ben La Deng falls in front of you, will you choose to save him?"

Oh my God!

Oh my god!

my God!

It was indeed the ultimate question of the second stage, and everyone on the scene took a breath.

Including Arthur's mother, who was originally very troubled, she also looked at her son with a worried look.

It has been less than three years since that attack, but the tragedy is still vivid in many people's minds. This terrorist attack will always be painful in the hearts of Americans.

Since Pearl Harbor, 9/11 was the second time that an external force attacked the United States.

From that moment on, a seed grew in the American psyche that we were no longer safe.

So the war on terror was launched, and now Afghanistan is still a big quagmire.

Rabbit was able to obtain more than ten years of development opportunities, thanks to Denzi for attracting Yingjiang's attention away.

It doesn’t matter if some people have forgotten the terrorist attack, because Fahrenheit 9/11 is being shown on the big screen, which is enough to help you recall it.

As the world’s No. 1 terrorist organization leader, the United States’ number one enemy and wanted criminal, people hate Dengzi to the core.

So Arthur was faced with two difficult problems: either abandon his oath or abandon his country.

“Who came up with this question? It’s so disgusting. I really want to punch him!” Mary said angrily.

Ashley, who is more introverted, was angry: “Count it as a punch. This question doesn’t leave him any chance to survive. No matter whether the answer is yes or no, the ending is a dead end.”

“I want to beat up the person who asked the question too!”

“And me.”

“Why are you so excited? This is a game, a variety game, and I asked this question.”

The five girls and one sister seemed to have expected it, and they all cast angry eyes at him.

"Eric, you are such a complete villain, what are you thinking about? Is this just a game? You are ruining his life."

"Yes, this guy named Arthur, I can already imagine his situation after the show is broadcast."

"First of all, his girlfriend will definitely break up with him, then his family will look down on him, the family relationship will be broken, and he will receive a lot of threatening letters."

"The current job is likely to fail, because the fat man and his fat colleagues will complain, and what did he get after ruining his life? Only $25,000."

"Only $25,000, my God, Eric Cooper, the most cold-blooded capitalist in the world is not as good at exploitation as you."

"Did you enjoy watching it?"

"What?"

"I asked you if you enjoyed watching it?" Eric repeated loudly.

"Uh"

The six people stopped talking immediately, because it was really enjoyable.

The core of comedy is tragedy, because the audience will be happy when they see others suffer, and the nerve that controls happiness will be stimulated.

"The Moment of Truth" takes this principle to the extreme and raises the stimulation to a fixed frame.

"You are having fun watching it, aren't you? Including the audience at the scene, and the tens of millions of people in front of the screen."

"If I am the cold-blooded executioner, then you are the ones who make it happen."

"All existence is reasonable, because the premise of existence is to be needed, and it is obviously you who need it."

"I can only be regarded as an intermediary at most, you are the culprit!"

A set of heretical theories that pointed east and west made them speechless in an instant. They felt something was wrong, but they couldn't tell what was wrong.

"Okay, instead of blaming me, why not see how Arthur answered this question."

"Just to have some fun, this is my original intention of doing the show."

Speaking of this, Eric pulled Neeko and Charlize into his arms, and kissed them on the left and right.

As for Ao Mei, she had known about her and her sister for a long time. Being able to appear here tonight means that everything is clear, and there is no need to worry about her.

"Arthur, if Ben La Deng falls in front of you, will you choose to save him?"

Gudong!

Arthur swallowed his saliva and thought for a long time before making a decision: "I think... I think I won't save him."

"No? But that would violate your oath."

"I don't know, but I will follow my heart and I won't save him."

This time the scene was silent, no one made a noise, because no one knew how to answer.

As the polygraph gave the correct judgment, Anders announced loudly: "Congratulations, Arthur, now you have won $25,000."

"Now you only need to answer four questions to take away $100,000."

"The $100,000 grand prize is four times what you got, one question doubles, and it's not necessarily a difficult question."

"Think about it, $100,000, continue or give up?"
