>>Host: Welcome back to Golden Balls.
-
After a run of big cash balls, Ibrahim and Nick now have £13,600 in front of them.
-
We know they've got it, but the golden question is can they keep it?
-
Ibrahim and Nick, you now face a very straightforward choice,
-
but it's a choice that could make one or both of you extra wealthy.
-
But it could also lose both of you everything that you have fought for today.
-
They have to decide to split or steal.
-
[♪ Music ♫]
-
Ibrahim, Nick, you have two final golden balls in front of you, and they are the most important golden balls of the game.
-
You each have a golden ball with the word "split" written inside.
-
You both have a ball with the word "steal" written inside.
-
You will know which is split and which is steal because you can have a look.
-
If you both pick the split ball, you split the 13,600 and you go home with 6,800 each.
-
If one of you chooses the steal ball, and the other chooses the split ball,
-
whoever chooses the steal ball goes home with the whole lot – 13,600.
-
But if you both choose the steal ball, you leave today's game with what you came with – nothing.
-
It's the ultimate test of faith, trust, and let's face it, greed.
-
Take a moment to look at the balls in front of you so you know for definite which is split and which is steal,
-
but obviously keep them concealed from each other.
-
Just have a look.
-
Okay.
-
It's the easiest choice, but the most difficult one.
-
What I want you to do is to spend half a minute talking to each other about what you both should do.
-
Nick, Ibrahim.
-
>>Nick: Ibrahim, I want you to, um, trust me. 100% I'm going to pick the steal ball.
-
>>Ibrahim: Sorry, you're going to ...?
-
>>Nick: I'm going to choose the steal ball.
-
>>Ibrahim: You're going to take the steal ball?
-
>>Nick: I want you to do split, and I promise you that I will split the money with you.
-
>>Ibrahim: Oh, after you take the steal?
-
>>Nick: Yep.
-
>>Ibrahim: You're going to take steal ...
>>Nick: Yeah.
-
>>Ibrahim: I'm going to take split ...
>>Nick: Yeah.
-
>>Ibrahim: So you take the money ...
-
>>Nick: And I will split it with you.
-
>>Ibrahim: After the show?
>>Nick: Yeah.
-
[Audience laughing and applauding]
-
>>Nick: Ibrahim, I promise you I'll do that – if – if, if you would do steal,
-
we both walk away with nothing. I'm telling you 100% I'm going to do it.
-
>>Ibrahim: Now, I appreciate that. But I'll give you another alternative.
-
[Nick: Big sigh]
-
Why don't we just both pick split?
-
>>Nick: I'm not going to pick split.
-
I'm going to steal, Ibrahim. I honestly am going to 100% steal.
-
>>Ibrahim: It's in your nature to steal?
-
>>Nick: No. I – I'm honest, and I'm going to tell you ...
-
>>Ibrahim: You're an honest man?
-
>>Nick: I am, that's why I'm telling you I'm going to steal.
-
If you do split, then I will still get the money.
-
>>Ibrahim: I can't see myself doing that.
-
>>Nick: Okay, well, I'm going to steal. So we're going to leave with nothing.
-
>>Ibrahim: Where's your brains coming from?
-
[Audience laughs]
-
I can't work out –
-
>>Nick: I know that I'm a decent guy, and I will split the money with you.
-
>>Ibrahim: Well, we should just both split, then.
-
>>Nick: No, I'm going to do steal.
-
>>Host: There is no legal requirement ...
>>Ibrahim: No, I know there is not.
-
>>Host: ... For him to give you the money.
>>Ibrahim: Of course.
-
If I gave you my word – now let me, let me tell you what my word means.
-
>>Nick: Okay.
-
>>Ibrahim: My father once said to me, "A man who doesn't keep his word is not a man.
-
He's not worth nothing, not worth a – not worth a dollar."
-
>>Nick: I agree.
-
Ibrahim, I'm going to steal, so you've got the choice.
-
[Audience cheers]
-
You either steal, and we both walk away with nothing.
-
Because, you know, I've told you my intention.
-
And I've told you that I would split the money with you, Ibrahim.
-
>>Ibrahim: If I gave you my word that I was going to split, I would split.
-
And you're going to take steal, so ...
-
>>Host: The only way you can guarantee to walk away with 6,800 ...
-
>>Ibrahim: Is by sharing.
-
>>Host: ... Is guaranteed if you both pick the split ball, and I do now have to push you for a decision.
-
It's a tough one.
-
>>Ibrahim: I've lost it. We've lost everything.
-
>>Nick: Okay, we've lost then.
-
>>Ibrahim: We walk away with no money because you're an idiot.
-
>>Nick: No, that's not true.
-
>>Ibrahim: Nick, you're an idiot.
-
[Audience laughs and applauds]
-
You're an idiot. That's what you are.
-
>>Host: Wait, this could go on all night, and these people have got to get up for breakfast.
-
[Audience laughs]
-
Nick, choose split or steal.
-
Ibrahim, choose split or steal.
-
Now, please. Choose a ball.
-
>>Ibrahim: Well, I'll tell you what, I'm going to go with you.
>>Nick: Okay.
-
>>Ibrahim: I'm going to go with you.
-
>>Nick: I promised you I would steal, I will stick to it.
[Audience applauds]
-
>>Host: You cannot change your balls now.
-
Split or steal?
-
Yes!
[Audience cheers]
-
Congratulations! You've both split, and each receives £6,800!
-
>>Nick: I would have split it.
-
>>Ibrahim: Then why did you put me through that?!
-
Why did you do that to me?
-
You're the worst person I've ever met!
-
>>Host: That was a good one, wasn't it?
-
Well, it's charity all the way – and a market trader you can really trust!
-
Congratulations to you both.
-
I've been Jasper Carrott.
-
This has been a remarkable game.
-
They've been lovely.
-
This has been Golden Balls. Until next time, good bye!
-
[Audience cheers]
-
>>Ibrahim: Now I want the money.
-
I feel drained.
-
I feel drained.
-
That was – that was the hardest money I've ever had to work for.
-
>>Nick: I feel great. He obviously doesn't work in a charity state to try and get money.
-
I'm going to buy an oven, and I think me and my friend are going to Australia.
-
>>Ibrahim: With the money I've won, I think I'll respray my yacht.
