GE 1998-9 Season 5 Episode 20: What's That Noise?
Note: this is not a transcript, but a working draft of the script, so there may be differences in the aired version.
PAUL: Is it a bird ? Is it a plane ? No, it's the What's
That Noise From Newfoundland contest.
Yes, time once more for the super game show, with the super
prizes, that can leap a building at a single bound, that is
faster than a speeding bullet, that has many imitators but no equals.
It's deceptively simple here. We play a sound for you that
could only be from our island home, you have your guess at it,
and the correct response garners you a gorgeous BCN tee-shirt.
Without further to-do, Hollis Duffett, our sound jurist, let's hear it !

And a noise of quality it is.
Let's see what you make of this puzzle. Deep into the bag of
accummulated suppositions, and there appear to be hundreds of
them, I drive my itchy fingers, and they latch on to this ...
an e-mail from ... Montreal, Quebec, it's from Adam Lock and
Adam writes: "sounds like the creaking ropes of a docked boat,
though from here I couldn't tell you the size or make of the
boat. Creaking something though, fer sure...creak, creak....
ropes I think, of a boat. To tie it up, you see, so it don't
float away...creak, creak."
Hollis, what do you say ? No ? Sorry, Adam Lock of ... where did
I say that was... from Montreal, no, not a boat and its creaking
ropes.
Get your pencil ready, I'll give you our address right after you
hear the noise one more time.
Hollis, once more, dear sir.
