• Uposcrabblenyk Host : Be healthy, and welcome to Russia's favorite television game, Uposcrabblenyk. I am your host, Niklaus Harmolav, welcome. Today is the second day of our struggle between... Champion Viktor Kametsky, worker at Hydroelectric Plant Number Five; and our lovely challenger, Anna Petrovich, a designer at Mikuoyan Aerospace. Anna, tell us all about your job.

  Anna Petrovich : Sorry, Niklaus, it's classified.

  Uposcrabblenyk Host : Oh-ho! Good answer! Viktor, tell about, er, perhaps your hobbies... something.

  Viktor Kametsky : Enough talk, get to game!

  Uposcrabblenyk Host : Oh! Watch out, Anna, Viktor is ready to go over the fence to play the game.

• Uposcrabblenyk Host : Anna, you have twenty-eight letters to make a word on Uposcrabblenyk. Can you do it now?

  Anna Petrovich : Could I have concentration music, Niklaus?

  Uposcrabblenyk Host : Okay, can we have music, please?

  [The sound of a European-style police siren is played in the studio. Anna presses her buzzer.] 

  Uposcrabblenyk Host : All right, Anna, what is your word?

  Anna Petrovich : Starting on left, ending with letter P, twenty-eight letter word giving me victory: Prienellskofvischnyetpropopp.

  Uposcrabblenyk Host : Prienellskofvischnyetpropopp, it fits! The high Russian word for, "dog," I believe?

  Anna Petrovich : Yes.

  Uposcrabblenyk Host : Okay, Viktor, do you challenge?

  Viktor Kametsky : [pressing his buzzer]  Yes, I do!

  Uposcrabblenyk Host : Okay, ruling committee... Ruling committee...

  [a bell rings] 

  Uposcrabblenyk Host : Viktor, you are right! Anna, your word is a slang word, an abbreviation unacceptable on Uposcrabblenyk. I am sorry, I hope the shame is not too much to bear.
