Everyone else in earshot, cool,quiet or kicked out are your

Ladies and gentlemen, boys andgirls, this is Soap Door.
Hello, gorgeous, Hello,gorgeous.
(00:48):
Welcome and welcome back toanother fun filled edition of so
Floor.
I hope your day is shaping upwell.
Mine is fantastic because allthis week I finally get to watch
the finale of season 4 forDynasty Dallas and Falcon Crest
and the season finale of seasonthree, knot's Landing.
(01:10):
Something occurred to me thelast time I recorded is.
This is new to me.
It's probably not new to mostof you I'm actually like the
like the uh premieres arehappening real time, but it's
new to me.
I hope it feels new to you.
That is my hope, that is mywish If you ever enjoy these
(01:32):
shows.
I hope you are re-watching themand it feels new or at least it
still holds up.
Well, I watched Honey.
I Blew Up the Kid.
I used to love that movie somuch you know what it held up.
That's not always the case.
I used to love that movie somuch, you know what it held up.
That's not always the case.
Sometimes I look back at thingsand think what the hell was I
thinking?
Case in point, the man in theIron Mask.
We're not going to get intothat all over again, but you
(01:53):
couldn't have told me circa 2003that Leonardo DiCaprio wasn't
robbed for an Oscar.
I watched that again and I'dsay who is this?
What is this?
The weave was bad, the actingwas.
I let his portrayal in GilbertGrape sort of blind me to
(02:13):
anything else he did for alittle bit, but it wasn't that
good.
That's neither here nor therey'all.
We are jumping back into thefinale and for this special
occasion I went on out to mylocal grocer and I found a
little bottle of somethingcalled toast.
It's T-O-S-T.
It's got the two little dotsover the O.
Pardon my ignorance.
(02:33):
I'm not sure if that means it'sSwedish, etc.
I'm not sure what country oforigin, but I do know it tastes
delightful.
I got the regular degular one.
I'm going to go back and getthe sangria tomorrow.
This is so good.
This is my something bubbly,since I watch it during the day.
Most of the time it'snon-alcoholic.
It is very, very comparable tochampagne, though I promise you
(02:55):
it is crisp, it is flavorful.
I think it's got ginger, whitetea, cranberry and something
else.
I don't know how they did it,but they did it well.
It is absolutely delightful.
It's less than eight bucks.
What do you have to lose?
All right, we're going to seewhat JR and Sue Ellen and
everyone else has to lose onthis episode.
Season four, episode 23, dallasEwingate.
(03:20):
Okay, I've just finished Fulldisclosure.
There was a point in the middleof the show where I needed to
figure out who this actor was.
I see this guy and everything.
I could be underwater and Iwould recognize his voice and I
really needed to figure out whohe was.
So I go to the IMBD of thisspecific episode.
(03:40):
Season four, episode 23 of theoriginal Dallas.
You have to put that, and I sawalmost right away just one line
.
It says this is the firstepisode filmed after Jim Davis's
death.
This makes a lot of sense goingforward in this episode.
He hasn't really been presenton some of them and I couldn't
tell.
I mean, we know what happened.
By this point I knew what wasgoing to happen.
(04:03):
But here's the thing about TVshows, especially popular ones,
their season, especially if youhave 20 plus episodes.
You know that's half of theyear.
I don't know how quickly theyrecord these.
Part of me feels like theymight, you know, record five or
six at a time and take littlebreaks in between.
But this, according to IMBD orwherever, says that this is the
(04:25):
first episode after his death.
When last we left, cliff was onJR's tail.
He picked up his scent and,through a series of sort of
strategically placed encounters,cliff Barnes figures out that
JR probably had a whole lot todo with this counter-revolution
in this vaguely Asian country.
(04:46):
I say that because they neverreally named the country, which
seems to be par for the courseon all the soap operas.
It's just sort of a vague place.
Well, this episode is nodifferent.
It picks up where it left off.
Cliff had brought thisinformation that he got from his
homeboy, who was planted by theWest Star people.
He brings it to the Senatecommittee that Bobby is on, and
(05:09):
at first they're like no, thisdon't matter, there's nothing
here, we're gonna let it pass,we're just gonna forget about it
.
Well, cliff was not having that, so he went to the media, he
started singing like a canary,he dropped all these clues.
So now the first thing we seeon this episode is that it has
blown up.
The ish has hit the fan.
It is a front page story on theDallas Morning News or Dallas
(05:33):
Star, whatever they call it onthis one.
Before we get too deep into that, we need to get rid of the bit
players first.
I hate to say it.
This whole season Pam has beena bit player player.
So has Lucy.
I had to look her up too,because this is my thing.
I, if you've been listening tome for any amount of time at
least two, three years you knowthat I was fully convinced
(05:54):
before I started watchingKnott's Landing that it was
going to be about Lucy.
The only thing I knew about itis that my auntie loved that
show to death and that it was aspinoff.
I think I figured that out Ican't remember how Pretty early
on I figured out that Knott'sLanding was a spinoff of Dallas.
So when I heard that and afterI watched season one and
(06:16):
probably like halfway throughseason two, I thought it was
going to be like a Lucy spinoff.
She's 18 at this point.
She's kind of wild and free.
She's having these affairs withgrown men.
I really thought it was goingto turn into something.
That's not the case, even onthis season.
I'm like her story was sothrowaway-able I don't know any
(06:37):
other way to say it.
She's not even on the finale.
When Last we Left she had comehome after a hard night or
weekend of being the young MissDallas who seems to do a whole
lot outside of Dallas.
Make that make sense.
She comes home and she findsMitch on the couch asleep, and
she finds Mitch's homegirlasleep in her bed.
(06:57):
Now, full disclosure.
I feel a way too, I would bevery, very upset if I came home
and there's another womansleeping in my bed.
Even if your husband isn't init, it would have to be like his
sister or his mom or somethingnot to be upset.
Mitch quickly explains and he'svery dismissive about it.
That is my friend.
It got too late.
As you can see, I am fullyclothed to sleep on the couch.
(07:20):
He was fully clothed behind thedoor in our bedroom.
Absolutely nothing happened.
And Lucy's like, yeah, likelystory.
So she sashays out of the roomlooking fabulous, tells Mitch
she's going to send for herthings, raul will come pick up
her things, she's going back toSouth Fork and that's it.
That's all it's like.
This whole season was Lucychasing after Mitch.
(07:42):
She gets married, then becomesthe young Miss Dallas and
basically spends every episodejust looking fly for no reason.
She walking around the kitchendecked out at six in the morning
for no reason.
I wondered to myself like, wasshe just busy?
Had the show gained enoughpopularity at this point which
I'm sure it had to where she wasjust doing other projects?
(08:02):
Because it really doesn't makesense.
I almost wish that they justsend Lucy off somewhere.
I wish she'd gone off to theEast Coast or something to go to
school or send her to I don'tknow somewhere in Europe to hang
out for a couple years.
But that's pretty much it.
She says she's leaving Mitch.
I guess Mitch is gone.
Not a whole lot to that.
(08:25):
Also Rebecca JG Wentworth, akaCliff and Pam's mother who
deserted them.
I watched that scene again andit made me even more pissed off.
Where she goes over to Cliff'shome and he's basically saying I
can't believe you abandoned me.
Do you know how horrible thatis to think your mom is dead and
(08:45):
then to find out that not onlyis she not dead, she just didn't
want you.
She was living somewhere else.
Her getting up and walking away, saying you know, I hoped you
could forgive me, because Ican't forgive myself something
to that effect and then walkingout on him again.
I don't want to harp on that,but you don't see her this
episode.
So that's sort of the lastthing I remember about her.
(09:05):
Just who exactly do you thinkyou are?
You really thought she wasgoing to walk in that room, let
that man see you, and everythingwas going to be Gucci and gold.
She probably thought, well, I'mnot dead.
So he's going to be excitedthat I'm not dead.
But I mean, I guess he got overit.
When she ate the black licorice, shout out to my friend Bob,
who actually likes blacklicorice Bless your heart, I'll
(09:27):
try it again soon.
I feel like I haven't hadlicorice in years, but last time
I did it was like cough syrup.
So JG Wentworth is pretty muchnot in this episode.
Lucy is not in this episode.
Ellie is also not in thisepisode a whole lot, but she's
at the beginning because, like Isaid, the proverbial ish has
(09:48):
hit the fan.
Jr's face is splashed all over,I guess, the world, all over
tabloids, all over the newspaper, because she calls from Padre
one morning talking about JR,what the hell is going on?
And he's like, oh mama, nothing.
He brushes it off as CliffBarnes is sort of stirring up
trouble.
She knows it's about thecounter-revolution.
It off as Cliff Barnes justsort of stirring up trouble.
She knows it's about thecounter revolution.
She's a little bit worried thatEwing Oil is being investigated
(10:08):
.
Jr wants to know if his dad hasseen it.
She goes no, and if I can helpit, he's not going to.
I mean, again, pardon myignorance, I wouldn't imagine
the paper would be in English inParis, but I suppose, or even
if it was, I can't imagine theywould get it quickly.
Seems like it'd have to be aday or two or maybe a week or so
(10:29):
later.
Anyway, she knows what's goingdown.
She wants to know what is.
Was Bobby involved, sincethere's going to be like a
Senate hearing possibly?
And he's like, no, no, no,bobby wouldn't do anything to
even help me.
She goes.
Well, I don't really sound likehim, but keep me posted, let me
(10:52):
know what's up, okay.
Last little bit player is, ofcourse, ray and his lovely new
bride, miss donna culver cribs.
Yeah, donna culver cribs, dckor dcc, I don't know.
I don't know how you spelledlast night anyway, with jock
being in paris celebrating hissecond or third or fourth
honeymoon I sure hope it's notthe second one and they're like
70 years old Celebrating hishoneymoon with Ellie.
Ray hasn't been tasked withtaking over Jock's position
(11:13):
there, but he is hanging out alittle bit more with Punk and
the other dudes in the newestcartel, the little bitty one.
And remember, they have thisland they want to develop right
outside of Lubbock.
Donna wasn't really keen on himbeing in that deal, but it
seems like he either.
I don't know, guys, I'm sorry,I don't know it's important but
(11:35):
it ain't that important to me.
Just know that Ray is iswetting his beak a little bit in
business and the other men inthe little cartel seem to be
impressed with how well he isacclimating.
So they offer a deal.
Punk anderson, the bolo don juanthat man has the best bolo ties
(11:56):
I've ever seen in my life.
I look forward to seeing himand what he's gonna wear.
He says to ray the guys and Ilike you so much, ray, we
weren't we're all going to sellyou a point, I'm assuming, from
their stock from their stocks, Idon't really know or a point in
their company.
I'm not sure how that works,but it's going to cost him a
million dollars per point.
So he's buying them from threepeople.
(12:17):
It's going to be $3 million.
He's like dang, that's a lot ofmoney.
I don't have no money like that.
Plunk Anderson and his bolo tieare taken aback a little bit.
Like he says I don't mean topry Ray, but you mean to tell me
you and Donna can't come upwith $3 million.
See, here's the thing.
Plunk Anderson doesn't knowthat Ray has a little bit of a
(12:38):
complex about his brand newbride being a millionaire.
That's the reason they broke upin the first place.
He was content to just kick cowturds all day while she was out
politicking without being apolitician.
They bumped heads.
But now that they're together itis natural to assume that you
know he's a little bit morecomfortable with that,
(12:59):
especially understanding his newlineage and the inheritance he
got.
But I guess he didn't get itall at once.
It's an inheritance or hesuppose he will get it once jock
passes away on the show.
But in the meantime, in betweentime he don't personally have
that in his accounts he tellsthat to punk anderson.
He says I don't really havethat kind of money donna does,
(13:21):
but I don't.
Punk anderson's like all right,I mean, let me know by tomorrow
morning if you want to do it orno.
We're all real impressed withyou.
We know Jock will be real proudof you.
This is odd to me.
Jock has always been.
He's always had his nose in thebusiness and we understand what
happened to the actor.
So obviously he's not in it,but at least a faux phone call,
(13:47):
right, it isn't like he's.
He technically, yes, is on theother side of the world, but
he's a phone call away.
I can't imagine he would justbe relaxed to the point where he
doesn't want to know anythingabout business, especially with
Ellie calling every 15 minutes.
But Ray decides okay, let me domy best.
So Donna is in Virginia.
You remember Donna Culver has astepson.
He calls the Senator stepson,which I guess would be his step
(14:08):
stepson.
I'm not really sure how thatworks If you marry a woman who
has a stepchild.
Is that your stepchild?
Yes, it doesn't matter.
Ray's step-step son answers thephone and says she's going to
some event, her and this otherlady and he's like, okay, bet.
So he hangs up and I guess hedecides F it.
(14:30):
We have a joint account.
I was shocked.
My jaw hit the floor.
He calls a bank and he says hey, banker, you know that joint
account I have with mymillionaire wife.
Go ahead and cut me a check for$3 million.
Yeah, make it a cashier's check.
I need it by 10 am tomorrow.
Wow, I just, I don't know.
(14:51):
That's such a touchy subject.
It's so strange.
Part of me is like how dare youuse her money?
But he did call, which is alsothe same defense that the step
step son says.
So meanwhile in Virginia, donnaCulver comes back a little bit
earlier to her step son's officeand he's like, oh, hey, ray had
called, he was looking for youright about that time.
(15:13):
The phone rings Well, is thebank?
The bank feels funny aboutreleasing three million dollars,
as they should, and they hadabsolutely no, no trouble
tracking her down.
She gets on the phone and she'slike hey, boo, you working late
Because she's got it like thatbecause she's a millionaire, she
talks to bankers on the regularand I suppose the banker's like
, well, I mean, yeah, but youknow, your new husband just
(15:34):
called, right, he asked me tocut a check for $3 million.
And she goes, oh, he did.
Oh, yes, I was aware of that.
Yes, okay, go ahead and cut thecheck.
They're like okay, cool.
But when they hang up, shetells her stepson that that was
the bank in that ray just cut acheck for three million dollars
and stepson's like, oh wow, Ididn't know he had money like
(15:56):
that.
She doesn't say anything.
So stepson ded oh so most ofthat was your money.
He's sort of thinking like me.
I mean, well, he did call,that's what he said.
He did call, he said he hadsomething important to ask you.
So it was probably that.
But the fact that he just wentahead and did it, ooh, it's
(16:16):
surprising to me.
Ray does not strike me as agambler.
He's never been just superoutright.
He's not like doing a lot onthe show other than Lucy, that
one time or six or seven times.
But he seems very steady inwhatever it is he does.
Maybe it's just, you know, it'snew.
He wants to be taken serious andI kind of feel like these guys
(16:38):
are taking advantage of that.
I can't prove it and I'm notgoing to go back too many
episodes because I got otherstuff to watch, but I feel like
they know he's a little wetbehind the ears and they don't
want to.
Is that does that mean young?
He got milk on his tongue, asthey would say.
He's young, so he's not assavvy as the rest of them.
I kind of feel like they'replaying him a little bit.
(16:59):
Yeah, him.
I kind of feel like they'replaying him a little bit.
Yeah, so he cuts the check.
But at the same time I'm likey'all have a joint account.
Yeah, I don't know, girl, I'msorry, once you hit a million
dollars and your new boo don'thave that, I think I mean maybe
you have a joint account, but Iwouldn't put all of my millions
in it for sure.
(17:20):
Moving on.
Speaking of moving right along,my girl, sue Ellen, wants to do
just that.
Last episode she had just sortof resolved to be John Ross
Ewing III's mother.
She was going to be happy inthat.
Only now her newly walkinglover is back from the dead and
Dusty wants to take her away.
He wants to he said I'm notgoing to lose you again, girl, I
(17:44):
want you to be with me.
So, dusty, and his blabbermouthdaddy you remember the one who
told Sue Ellen that he wasimpotent, I don't know.
Okay, I guess he just wantedher to know, but that really was
none of his business.
I guess dad feels bad aboutthat, this episode.
So he says so well then,whatever you need we got.
(18:04):
He already understands that JRis not going to just let her go,
and she says as much he's notgoing to let me go, but he's
definitely not going to let mego with my son, more importantly
, my son.
He's way more important to methan JR.
So I don't even know how I'mgoing to get him out of there
and he's going to send his fullarsenal at me.
Everything has lawyers, goons,whatever Dusty's daddy is like.
(18:26):
Well, listen, I don't know him,I know of him, but I know me and
I know my money.
I have just as much money, ifnot more, than the Ewing's.
If he wants to play dirty, wecan play dirty.
If he wants to act a fool, I'mgoing to act three fools.
Whatever he wants to play dirty, we can play dirty.
If he wants to act a fool.
I'm gonna act three fools.
(18:47):
Whatever he wants to do, it canbe whatever.
So she's like okay, cool, I likeyour style, old man.
What I want to do, though, issneak in and get the baby.
I feel like if I just take thebaby and leave, he'll just have
to deal with it.
So they're trying to figure outwhen she can do that and she
knows about this whole expose inthe paper because, like I said,
it was everywhere, and sheknows that jr is in a little bit
of hot water, so it buys hertime because he's going to be
(19:08):
distracted.
She's like I'll try to do ittonight.
That's what I'll do.
He'll be distracted, I'll tryto do it tonight.
Well, jr, at the top of the show, has all these cops at the
house, and I was thinking didsomebody jump in?
Did something robbed?
I couldn't really remember whythere would need to be a police
presence at his home.
Turns out he doesn't want thepaparazzi getting close to the
(19:31):
house, so he has cops there.
That does not make sense, butwe're going to allow it.
Soap tax, soap tax, soap tax.
He then heads to Austin so thathe can talk to one of the
senators.
Naturally, jr's reach is farand wide, as far as Texas goes,
and he knows a guy.
He knows a guy on the Senatesame Senate that Bobby's on
(19:53):
little panel or whatever.
So he goes to him and he's likedude, I so hate to ask a favor,
but I need a favor.
The guy's like yeah, whateveryou need, thank you so much for
contributing to my campaign.
Jr's like no sweat, I need youto contribute all the receipts
y'all have about me being inthis foreign oil.
(20:15):
And the dude was like I can't,I can't, I can't See what had
happened was normally I could,but the justice department is
involved and they're going tolook at everything.
And if there's even a slightchance that it looks like I gave
you anything, there goes myhead.
I can't, I can't risk it.
I'm sorry, I just can't risk it.
(20:36):
And she was like okay, that'sfine, don't worry about it, I'll
be in touch soon.
And also I'll be in touch whenyour campaign comes up,
basically saying you can forget,my money Doesn't really matter.
As soon as he walks out of thedoor, this little gentleman
comes up to him and hands himsomething.
He's like you have been servedby the committee of legislative
(20:56):
inquiry.
They subpoena him.
He has been in court in oneweek.
The hits just keep coming.
Immediately jr goes to the payphone.
He calls luella, his secretaryat the job, and he says hey, I
need you to find claude brownand, wherever he is, make sure
he gets the hell out of dallas.
So she has taken the message.
(21:18):
Now she's taking the message.
Somebody else is walking in theoffice, so she's not really
paying attention.
She's writing everything downonce she else is walking in the
office, so she's not reallypaying attention.
She's writing everything downOnce she hangs up.
Someone's like Luella, whateveryour last name is.
She's like yeah, she subpoenaedas well.
She's like, oh crap.
Meanwhile JR is in Austingetting even more unfavorable
news.
He goes to see a lawyer thesame lawyer that was going to
(21:39):
divorce his parents who shouldbe in Dallas, but he's in Austin
, I suppose, for some reason.
And the lawyer's like I can'treally help you, jr, unless I
know what we're up against, andright now I don't know anything.
You don't know what thesepeople have.
They could have a smoking gun.
I'm not saying you did it, butI'm saying you probably did so.
I'm gonna need some moreevidence.
You got, between now and courtdate or hearing date to uh,
(22:02):
collect whatever you can sue.
Ellen calls shortly after that.
She doesn't call the lawyer,she calls ewing oil.
The other secretary, whose nameI don't know because she's
newish answers and tells herthat jr is in austin.
She goes oh man, okay, I guessI just missed.
I'll try to catch him at thehotel.
She hangs up, minds herbusiness.
(22:23):
Although this is wonderful newsfor her, it's also her biggest
mistake.
This isn't the slutty secretarywho likes them.
This is the secretary who isgood at her job.
So naturally she's going toaccept that phone call as a
message, even though Sue Ellensaid she was going to call.
Austin matters none, because JRis quite busy at the moment.
(22:47):
He's scrambling.
What do I do?
Jr has way too many women inhis life.
Because the future Mrs Ewing, msLeslie Stewart, is over at the
West Star, she's like hey, um, Imay have some information you
might enjoy and I would like tobe your PR person for the
company if I am so inclined todeliver this information.
(23:09):
I have Now.
Jeremy at Westar is probablywaiting on this information.
If I recall, this isn't theirfirst or second meeting.
So he's like I'm listening,what's your cash?
And so he's like I'm listening.
What's your cash?
Says I have irrefutableevidence that JR was not only
involved but that he funded thiscounterrevolution in this
vaguely Asian country.
(23:29):
And Jeremy's like oh, you know,say hmm, so I suppose you said
you want to.
You want my PR position.
I guess you will be my client.
I want the PR position.
He's like how do I know you'renot lying?
She goes come to my apartmenttonight and you'll find out if
I'm lying or not.
I'll draw out the contracts.
I'll give you what I have.
And he's like well, what do youhave?
(23:50):
She said I have tapes, homeboy.
He's like you got tapes?
Are you going to give it to thesenators at the hearing?
She's like I don't know, itdepends on how much they pay me.
So a lot is going on.
That night Leslie Stewart ismeeting with Westar to basically
put the nail in JR's coffin.
Sue Ellen is planning to escapewith John Ross, ewing III.
Unfortunately, sue Ellen is notgood at escaping.
(24:12):
Matter of fact, she's terribleNow.
She thinks JR is in Austin.
So she's sort of taking hertime when she goes to get the
baby.
Only, it's nighttime, right,babies probably go to bed at
what?
Seven or eight o'clock.
No, no, no.
She comes in and she puts thisbaby in a complete like easter
(24:33):
outfit.
He looks like a little lawyer,he looks like he has business to
attend to at 8, 30 at night andshe's loudly saying, saying,
okay, we're going to go to thesacred cross or sacred something
.
You're going to love it there.
I am basically kidnapping you,which is not kidnapping because
it's her son.
So she puts his baby on thisfull sports jacket, button up
(24:54):
shirt, pants, and I was like,damn, they don't have granimal
back there.
There's no oshkosh bagosh youcould put him in.
No, no, no, he's got to lookprofessional as they sneak out
of the house.
So she tells the baby they'regoing bye-bye.
Now, john Ross, ewing III is alittle parrot at this age.
(25:15):
We're going bye-bye, bye-bye.
Keep saying that.
Unfortunately for her, he'ssaying that as they're walking
down the stairs and in walks.
Jr and ar isn't in austin thatnight.
Matter of fact, he was probablyalready back in dallas, but his
secretary thought he was inaustin, which would explain how
he talked to the lawyer.
Anyway, sue, ellen has no pokerface, you would think.
(25:38):
Miss texas is used to sort ofthinking on her feet.
She a little rusty, trying toget to.
Only now she got to deal withthis man in front of her.
So as she's coming down thestairs with Mr John Ross Ewing,
the third Esquire, jr isimmediately suspicious because
why is this baby dressed likehe's going to court?
And he said where y'all going?
Nowhere, really.
(26:00):
Well, my secretary told me youcalled today asking where I was.
So now what are you doing?
She just breaks.
She's like so what?
Yeah, yeah, yeah, okay, I'm out, this bitch, I don't want to be
here anymore and I'm takingthis professional baby with me.
Jr said I'm not my professionalbaby.
He has a police apprehender andthey sort of do this thing where
they collide up against eachother and spin and he's able to
(26:23):
snatch the baby out of her armsright away.
And I thought it was a stuntdouble at first.
I had to rewind it because Ithought it was like a my Buddy
doll, the one with hair.
But no, it looks like it wasthe baby.
Now he's not loudly crying, butlater you see he has like tears
in his eyes.
He snatches the baby, has a copgrab her and he said don't ever
(26:45):
let her back in this house.
She's, you know, as you would,acting a fool.
She's yelling I'm going to getyou, jr, give me my baby.
She's very loud as she's beingdrug out of the house.
I'm going to get him.
I'm going to get him andthere's nothing you can do about
it.
Well, I guess all the ruckusstirs Pam because there she goes
, at the top of the stairs, shesees Sue Ellen being drug out by
(27:07):
the cops kicking and screamingand she says dang it, jr, give
her that baby.
That is her baby, give it backto her.
He looks up at her.
He's like mind your business,pam, she is not getting my
professional baby.
She's just like your mama,drunken slut that ran off and
(27:30):
left her baby First off.
It's worth noting that this isthe second time JR says out loud
that he would kill Sue Ellen.
I'll kill you.
Somebody asked him about itlast episode when he was trying
to see how quickly he could getdivorced and sell the whole
company and be with LeslieStewart.
He told the lawyer like if shetries to take my baby or whoever
I can't remember If she triesto take my kid, I'll kill her.
Talking about Sue Ellen, she'syelling at him trying to get the
(27:52):
baby.
He's like I'll kill you beforeyou get this baby.
She's like yeah, whatever,whatever, she's getting drug out
.
Pam confronts him.
Like I said, his revisionisthistory turnaround time is
remarkable.
I'm always sort of a little bitimpressed with people who can
lie with a straight face.
Have you no shame?
You didn't even stutter, sayingthat he just told Pam to mind
(28:13):
her business and that her mamawas a drunken slut and she ran
off and left her kids too.
And I'm like wait a minute,hold up.
He literally snatched the babyout of Sue Ellen's arms 15
seconds ago.
But let him tell it now she ranout on the baby.
She ran out on the baby is whathe's telling Pam, who bore
witness to the whole situation.
Number two why is Rebecca JGWentworth, 877 Cash, now
(28:37):
catching a stray?
Why are you bringing her upLike she ain't got nothing to do
with this?
I was really hoping.
Pam said hold up.
First off, my daddy was thedrunk, not my mama.
Get it right.
And second, uh, what slut?
Excuse me, well, now I don'tknow about her, her, but I
(28:59):
hardly think two dudesconstitutes as a slut,
especially coming from JR.
Her mama was, I mean, yeah, sheran off, oh, yeah, and you know
what she was with that man.
I forgot about that, okay.
So yeah, I guess she can sayshe left me with my daddy.
My daddy was drunk.
I don't know who else she waswith.
Yes, the dead dude turned outto be my dad.
(29:21):
So I don't know who else shewas with.
Yes, the dead dude turned outto be my dad.
So I mean there's that.
But I mean I don't think thatmakes her a slut.
She definitely wasn't a drunk.
Now she did run off.
I'll give you that she ran off,but let the record reflect that
she was a healthy, sober womanwith a normal and healthy sex
drive, not a drunken slut, letthe record reflect.
Speaking of, I ain't callingnobody out their name, that's
(29:43):
why I call the secretary a slut.
Look what the cat drug in.
Again.
Kristen comes to JR's office andshe wants some more super
secret child support.
Apparently, he's been sending acheck right alongside old hound
dog face Jordan Lee, but shewants more.
She ain't satisfied.
Now, this is interesting, Ihave to give it to her.
(30:04):
This is quite the little schemeshe's got going on here.
Who's to say she didn't tellthree or four people that they
was a baby's daddy?
And you just collect the checks.
She tells JR though she hastime today.
She said I have picked up somehabits in LA that I need to keep
up.
I'm going to need you to run mesome more money Now.
He's almost sick to his stomachbecause he's at risk of losing
(30:26):
the company.
He's basically at risk of beingput away.
He can go to prison, which wasDusty's dad's point when Sue
Ellen was nervous about takingthe baby.
He says it's not normal forcourts to give the father
custody.
And if this man goes to jail,that's like it's not normal for
for courts to give the fathercustody.
And if this man goes to jail,that's like it's just better on
(30:47):
you.
So everybody's sort of bankingon him going to jail and maybe
Kristen is too.
She knows he could.
So he's like listen, I don'thave the money today.
I need to move a few thingsaround, but I'll go ahead and
cut you your check.
It's like okay, and if hedoesn't, she basically threatens
to tell his mother and then shesays send my love to Sue Ellen,
okay.
Meanwhile, on the other side oftown, cliff is fully just sort
(31:10):
of riding high on this, althoughwhen he brought it up to the,
the senators, they weren'treally trying to hear.
They don't have a choice andhe's kind of proud of himself
because he orchestrated all this.
He's the one who dropped thedime on him to.
The papers don't really matter,though.
Jr must be one hell of a loveror one hell of a check writer,
or maybe he's both, because allit takes is 2.78 seconds for
(31:33):
Afton, who's Mitch's littlesister, to come over to Cliff's
house and they're having drinksand he just keeps saying God,
I'm so sleepy and I'm so tired.
I don't know why I'm so tired.
Well, he's tired because shedone slipped something in his
drink.
Man conks out flat out on hiscouch.
She shakes him a little bit,promptly, goes to the door,
(31:54):
opens it up, lets jr and a dodirt dude come in and leisurely,
casually, without rush, searchfor all of the evidence that
cliff has against him.
I mean, they take their time,they go.
I mean it didn't take long, butthere's no rush.
There's clothes and drawers andstuff.
(32:15):
They even go to the kitchentable and sort through
everything.
They have to take pictures, andthis is like 1981.
So it's not a camera phone,it's the damn near the one you
stand under with the blanket.
Look at the little birdie, thebig.
It is hella loud as the mantakes pictures of every single
piece of paper that cliff has.
(32:37):
You know he had to go get thatdeveloped and he even says out
loud well, you only have fourdays till the hearing.
I guess you could drop it offat walgreens or whatever, but I
don't know if that one hourphoto back in 1981 either way,
that's neither here nor there,because jr has exactly what he
(32:57):
needs.
He paid afton a couple bucks.
She bounces clip is none thewiser about being drugged.
He's passed out.
I guess he wakes up later andthe next time we see everybody
is in court.
I'm going to be very honest.
Not a whole lot is happening inthis episode, but this scene was
kind of interesting.
Claude Brown totally don'tremember who Claude Brown is,
(33:20):
but he has been subpoenaed.
The secretary was subpoenaed.
She didn't actually testify.
And let me be clear it's notreally a court case, it's a
hearing, which is why JR wasn'tgiven the evidence in the first
place.
It's not an actual court case.
You don't have to do that ifit's not in court.
So Cliff was banking on himshowing up and just sort of
(33:40):
being blind to what they had,and then it would have just been
irrefutable.
He wouldn't have had time toexplain it away, but he had four
days to think of stuff.
The first people they intervieware from the cartel, so it's
Jordan, lee and the one and onlylady.
They're basically saying yeah,it was kind of weird that
everything went down with theAsian oil wells, but I can't
(34:01):
prove he did anything.
I'm just saying it sort ofsounds like something he could
do, and the lady agrees.
That's exactly what she said.
She's like yeah, I told JR thisseems like this is something
he'd be capable of, but did hedo it?
I'm sure I don't know.
I have no way to say that.
I have no proof.
I don't know, but it seems likesomething he would do.
Yeah Well, that ain't goodenough.
(34:23):
Claude comes in and I sweary'all, this is the same dude
that served in the subpoena.
It was just from the back, wecouldn't really see his face.
They just put a man in somesunglasses and had him testify.
The long and short of it isthat Claude Brown went to this
vaguely Asian country anddelivered money to three
(34:43):
different people, threedifferent people who happened to
be in the embassy for thatcountry.
Next thing, you know, thegovernment is overthrown, blah,
blah, blah.
Money goes missing.
So it's pretty much a smokinggun.
It should be sort of an openand shut case, because all this
money came from JR, all thismoney was delivered by Claude
(35:04):
Brown and he said well, I wasgiven the money so that they
could overthrow their government, he ain't trying to go to jail.
Well, if that's not bad enough.
In walks Leslie Stewart in shoesI could tell she didn't break
in.
She was walking like her feethurt in this little mob number
with the with the collar, Iguess, to make herself look more
innocent.
Her hair's pulled up, she's allprofessional.
(35:25):
She looks like a school mom andthey immediately started asking
her what happened.
And she sings like a canary.
She talking about I don't workfor JR anymore.
I put in my resignation back inApril.
I'm now working for Westar.
You know I don't have nothingto do with him.
And they're like okay, well,why do you think he did it?
She goes well, he told me.
That's how I know.
I know, I know he did itbecause he told me he did it.
(35:55):
And they say you don't say shesays well, sir, luckily I record
all of my conversations that Ihave with anybody all the time,
so I happen to have this tape.
Here's the thing the devilworks hard.
Kris Jenner works harder.
Nobody works as hard as JR.
It makes it look so easy.
So the tape that Leslie has, sheis definitely trying to
incriminate him and I don't knowif he's just wise like that or
he's used to being set up orhe's just suspicious.
But on the tape you hear hersaying JR, you overthrew that,
(36:19):
don't you have something to dowith that?
And he's like I don't.
I mean, I just bought oil wells, that's all I did.
And she tries again JR, ifyou're going to be my client,
you're going to have to tell meeverything.
I don't want to be caught offguard.
I'm going to have to spin this.
You know she tries to take thePR angle.
I need to be able to spin thisin case something comes out.
He goes well, honey, nothing'scoming out.
I just bought some oil wells,got a deal.
(36:41):
I didn't know the country wasgoing to do.
Whatever she goes, jr, you 100%have something to do with
overthrowing this country.
And on the tape he says well,if that's what you want me to
say, honey, then sure Peoplealready seem to think that he
didn't incriminate himself.
Now, luckily, I'm watching thisin 2025.
I've had the luxury of watchingthe OJ Simpson trial court TV
(37:06):
law and order right away.
It's like yo.
He did not incriminate himselfat all, he really didn't.
He didn't say, he didn'toutwardly admit to anything.
But it doesn't matter, becauseif you put all these pieces
together, you have a guy whotook money from JR because he
was sent overseas to pay offthese people.
You have his PR agent, who hasrecorded a conversation where he
(37:27):
sort of admits it in a tonguein cheek way.
It seems like it would beenough to take it to the next
level.
Only JR is not one to getcaught.
He's not.
You got to wake up extra earlyin the morning to catch him, so
he's very easily able to explainthis the way he says.
Now, what had happened was Iknew I wanted some oil wells
(37:48):
over in this vaguely Asiancountry.
I'm trying to rebrand myself.
Y'all seen the papers.
You know what I'm saying.
I'm trying to rebrand myselfand I don't want to come off as
a greedy American who just goesto a country and takes, takes,
takes.
So I made a few donations sothat they could build their
infrastructure, blah, blah, blah.
(38:08):
Next thing, you know, there's acounter-revolution.
I didn't know that was going tohappen.
The senators are all looking ateach other like is that so Seems
like a likely story, jr, thisall just happened at once.
So you mean to tell me nowyou're friends with the new
government?
He's like well, like I said, Ididn't know they were going to
do that, but I mean I guess itdoesn't hurt that I had already
(38:31):
donated this here money to them.
The senator's like yeah, yeah,yeah, cliff is kind of smirking
like damn, I'm impressed, eventhough I know you're full of it,
but I'm impressed nonetheless.
Jr calls this plane to come.
He's like well, I only did whatI had to do.
I didn't know they were goingto overthrow the country.
It just sort of worked out myfavor.
And I mean, if they're friendswith me now they are.
But I mean, what can I say?
So they're like well, why didyou tell Leslie that you did it?
(38:52):
He says well, I mean, look ather.
Basically, he says in hishearing, which is televised, by
the way, or being recorded bythis very large camera, he
basically says I was just tryingto get in them draws, so I had
to say what I had to say.
You know what I'm saying.
You know what I'm saying.
They all are like yeah, okay, Iguess Trifling 1981 is so
trifling Anyway, it reallydoesn't matter, because In walks
(39:16):
a man from a vaguely Asiancountry.
This man from a vaguely Asiancountry is played by James Hong.
I promise you.
I promise you, you know whothis man is.
But let me get to what he says.
First.
His name is Ambassador Thon andhe says that what had happened
(39:37):
was JR, like he said, is tryingto build the infrastructure in
my country before it was takenover.
He didn't know, he had no idea.
This man walks in with thesebeautiful watercolor paintings
of the buildings, like what'sgoing to happen?
What like?
What they're going to build isoh, look at this hospital, we're
going to build this here andthis is a new school.
(39:59):
And the committee is lookingover like, wow, that's wild.
Now it all seems like thisseems like a likely story, but
it's crazy enough to be true.
We're going to do this.
Now.
Cliff is about to just bust outlaughing.
He's like y'all cannot I repeat, you cannot be believing this.
Mr Thawne not only shows themthese plans and these beautiful
(40:21):
watercolors, but he's able tosay JR gave us $9 920 american
dollars.
Mr brown kept 80k for himself.
Mr brown, who already said hedid it for the
counter-revolution, he kept itfor himself for procuring the
deal.
Well, cliff is about thissniggling.
At this point he's laughinglike dude, come on, y'all cannot
(40:42):
be believing this.
So he says, okay, let's say allthat happened, all that money
was in the Bank of Singapore andthen it disappeared, never to
be seen again until today.
Suddenly it's all accounted for.
Can you explain that?
And the senator is like yeah, Imean, that's a good question to
(41:08):
Switzerland, because ourgovernment was in shambles and
we didn't really know what wasgoing to be up or down or left
or right.
We didn't want to risk losingall that money forever and not
being able to build the stuff.
So we put the money in a Swissaccount and now that we know
everything is Gucci, we can putit back where it was.
Likely story.
But you know what?
Jay already had one of thesenators in his pocket, the guy
who does not want to lose allthat campaign money.
(41:28):
And he says you know, I thinkwe should equate them, we should
just let this go.
They all agree, Unanimousdecision, we're going to let
this all go.
Mr Thawne also adds Mr Ewingnot only sent all this money to
us.
He promises us 10% of all ofEwing Oil's profit.
10% of all of Ewing Oil'sprofit.
(41:48):
Now, that was clearly not apart of their deal, but hey,
that's the price you pay for himcoming in their line for you at
the last minute.
Now Mr Vaughn is a guy I had tolook up James Hong, because I'm
like God this man is making hismoney.
He was on Dynasty as Stephen'sdoctor in the South Asian
country that was, you know,wasn't ever named there either.
He was a plastic surgeon forStephen's new face, not old face
(42:10):
Stephen, new face Stephen.
Then he was Chow Lee's cousinon season two of Falcon Crasher.
This guy in BD was ridiculous.
I'm saying this man has beenworking since 1959.
He is still alive.
He is 95 years old, living inMilwaukee.
But I'm like this man got everycheck.
He's got a very distinct voiceto me in a cadence that is
(42:33):
undeniable.
When you hear him you know it'shim every single time, which is
why I was able to recognize himfrom Kung Fu Panda.
He was in the Thundermans asthe grandpa a couple episodes.
I think my kids love that show.
They just watch it on repeat.
His voice is just as distinctto me as like a Morgan Freeman.
You hear Morgan Freeman, youknow immediately with him, even
if you don't know his face.
(42:54):
Like a Sam Elliott, it's thatdistinct man, either way.
He was getting his check.
Cliff is none too happy aboutthis going down the way it goes
down.
So he goes over to JR and he'slike I'm gonna let you know
right now if you think this isthe end of it.
This ain't the end of it by amile.
And jr is like cliff, stoptrying to make fetch happen.
(43:18):
It's never going to happen.
If you was gonna catch me, youwould have caught me by now.
Sir, come on now.
Cliff is pissed.
Cliff don't know that he wasdrugged and that the evidence
actually came from him.
He thinks Bobby gave it up.
So he goes to confront Bobby.
He was like wow, I neverthought in my life that you
would do this.
I can't believe you gave himall that information.
(43:38):
And Bobby's like you can'treally believe that, do you?
Cliff's like definitely do.
Now.
Bobby says look, come to thebranch tonight.
We'll talk about it.
I'll prove I didn't do it.
Cliff says all right, I will.
This scene to me did not?
It seems a little bit rushed.
I'm starting to think well,I'll get there in a second,
we'll talk about that in aminute.
Bobby looks sick to his stomachthis whole time and now that I
(44:00):
think about it he's not in thisepisode very much.
Nobody's really in this episodevery much.
So cliff agrees he'll go to the.
He'll go to the house at night.
Meanwhile JR goes back to hisjob, business as usual, and his
secretaries are all clappingwhen he walks in.
They already heard that he's,you know, free at last.
Free at last.
So JR tells Phyllis who's thenew secretary looked up her name
(44:23):
, phyllis.
I need you to call LeslieStewart.
Tell her I want to see hertonight.
Bet Llewellyn, call theCattleman's Club.
I'm going to rent out thatwhole thing.
And then, when you're done,write up a letter of
recommendation.
She goes, a letter ofrecommendation.
He's like yeah, you're going toget a new job.
I told you to get Claude Brownout of town.
He almost put me in jail, soyou got to go.
(44:44):
He's going to be kind enough tosign the recommendation letter
that she types up.
Kristen is in his office andhe's got a brand new swing in
his step.
He's not worried about heranymore.
She's like I'm here for mymoney.
He's like what money?
Don't play in my face.
You know I can make your lifereal difficult if I see fit to
do so.
He's like what are you going totell my mom?
You're going to tell my dad?
I don't care, tell him.
(45:09):
Tell him, do that and I'll makesure you go to the clink for
popping a cap in my ass.
You think I forgot?
And she's like ah God, I guessI did shoot you.
Damn, I forgot about that,because it ain't too late, honey
.
Well, the next time we seeKristen, she's in her hotel room
.
She's pissed.
He does threaten her.
Let me say that too.
He tells her to get out of hisoffice and if she's smart she
better get out of Dallas, orhe's going to send some goons to
make her wish.
She never met him.
She leaves.
(45:30):
The next time we see her, she'sin her hotel room.
She's on the phone withsomebody.
She's like well, it didn't work, so I don't know who she's
working with.
Part of me kind of thinks it'sthat guy who I thought looked
like the kid from UtopiaEuphoria.
I can't remember.
He was working with Cliff for awhile.
You know the one.
You know who I'm talking about.
I don't know if that's him.
(45:50):
That's who I think it is.
I'm like I don't know who elseshe would be talking to on the
phone.
She tells whoever it is on thephone that you know he's not
going to give her the money andI guess they say well, I guess
you should give up.
And she's the other side oftown.
Sue Ellen shows up to Pam's joband she says Pam, pam's hugging
(46:13):
her.
They never seem like they getalong to me.
I don't know if they got alongin real life, but I know they
don't really.
They don't seem like they gotalong too much on the show.
Sue Ellen and Pam, that is.
But Pam hugs her because shesaw everything go down.
She said, girl, I worried aboutyou.
Good, everything okay.
Yeah, everything's fine, but Ireally want my baby.
I need your help, pam.
(46:34):
Now Pam doesn't say yes, butyou know she's down because, a
she don't like JR.
B he called her mama a drunkslut when she wasn't drunk,
probably not that slutty also.
And c she feels like the babyneeds to be with Sue Ellen, no
question about that.
Jr ends up going over to LeslieStewart's house and to my
(46:56):
surprise I guess they're alittle more light than I thought
.
Two birds of a feather.
She's like hey, you know.
Sorry, not sorry, it was you orme.
I thought you were sinking so Ijumped ship.
And he's like no, I totally getit, I would have done the exact
same thing to you.
And she's like oh, cool, well,I mean no hard feelings, I guess
(47:18):
.
And he's like listen, the wayyou only think about yourself is
so sexy, it turns me on so much.
And she's like really, youstill want me.
He's like, yeah, I want youmore than ever.
So they do the onewhomp-de-womp.
Next thing, you know, they'resitting in bed and she's a lady
because they have crystalglasses filled with champagne.
(47:39):
And he goes, you know what?
That was not worth the wait.
And she says you know what?
Baby, I was thinking the samething clint glasses.
He's like you should call weststar.
You probably got a job overthere.
Miss stewart is a lady and wayahead of the game.
She's already got that joblocked in, as far as we know.
But she is a lady because shekeeps on her pantyhose.
(48:03):
Now, how she did the funkywatusi with her pantyhose on,
I'm sure I don't know.
But I mean she said it waswhack.
He said it was whack, so Isuppose he's better at writing
checks than that.
But makes no, nevermind, all iswell.
He goes home.
When he gets there he goes tothat fever dream of a nursery.
(48:26):
He's looking for John Rossewing the third, only john ross
ewing the third is not there.
He goes downstairs ellie's notthere, teresa's not there.
None of the staff is there.
The house is mad empty.
Bobby's not there, only the copis there.
And he goes did you where's myson?
The cop says oh, mrs ewing tookhim for a ride.
(48:47):
Didn't I tell you not to let?
Oh, no, the other Mrs Ewing.
That's what they get for having97 people with the same name in
the house.
The other Mrs Ewing took him.
What Police are called?
He says my sister-in-law justkidnapped my son.
She's in a black Porsche withEwing number six as a license
plate.
That's another thing.
I don't know how they're doingany dirt with these license
(49:08):
plates with their names on them.
So now there's a bolo out forpam.
Next thing we see cliff comesstorming up to the house and
when he gets there he looks overand he sees somebody like face
down in the pool.
He jumps in and he flips over.
He says her, he flips over thewoman and he's like, oh my god,
she's dead.
Jr is up on the balcony holdinga drink, just sort of looking
(49:31):
really satisfied, and Cliff issort of wailing like, oh my God,
what have you done?
End scene.
Okay, I want to be fair here.
I'm not saying I didn't enjoyit, I'm not saying that it's not
good.
What I am saying is that itdefinitely felt off.
(49:52):
Now that I'm putting all thepieces together, like, okay, we
started off this season with abang, quite literally a bang.
Jr is being rushed to thehospital.
He's been shot, we don't knowwho.
Since we shot him first, two,three, four episodes, the
buildup after that.
I'm not saying that it lulled,this just seems like it came out
(50:15):
of nowhere.
This is the first time.
The last couple episodes he'sjust threatening to kill
everybody.
I'll kill you, I'll kill you.
Up until now jr has been.
He's been kind of shy steam.
He's been a liar.
He's definitely a cheat.
He is scandalous, he isself-centered, he is selfish, he
is self-absorbed, but he ain'tno killer.
(50:35):
You know what I mean.
Even if you take val's story,remember, val suffered the same
fate.
He.
He promised kristen.
He sent goons after val.
So she was bullied out of Texasfor 16 plus years but she never
died.
You know what I'm saying.
It would have been real easy tojust offer, but he never did.
I don't, I just don't see himas no killer, but he's awfully
(51:01):
satisfied by whoever's in thepool.
Now that's the other question.
I know you OGs already knowthose of us who don't know, I
don't know Like the person.
It looks like they have darkhair.
My first thought was it wasLeslie Stewart, and I'll tell
you why.
He absolutely threatenedKristen.
(51:21):
He absolutely threatened Pam.
He absolutely threatened SueEllen.
He didn't threaten LeslieStewart at all.
Now that I'm saying out loud.
I don't know why she would goback to his house or how she got
there, but I think that couldbe part of the mystique.
I don't really know.
Kristen makes a lot of sense,like she would go over there,
(51:41):
but it looks like they haveshort hair.
Kristen has a bunch of hair.
So I don't really know.
Know, but somebody is dead offin the pool at south fort.
It was good, I'm not gonna lie,it was very good.
But uh, you can just.
You can just tell something hasshifted.
Like there's not everybody'snot really in the story very
(52:01):
much ever.
There's just very few scenesfor this to be the finale.
It almost feels like it wasn'tgonna be the finale, but they
just sort of aired it.
Not bad though.
Season four did not disappoint,and I'm still excited.
One of our soap queens made itto Dallas, to the South Fork
experience, and when I tell youI sipped my beverage and went
through every single picture.
My favorite picture is SueEllen and not Sue Ellen, excuse
(52:27):
me, first off, sue Ellen.
Yes, because I adore her.
I love her so much, sue Ellenand not Sue Ellen.
Excuse me, first off, sue Ellen.
Yes, cause I adore her, I loveher so much.
Sue Ellen looks amazing still,but my girl, val and Lucy, I
loved it.
Val, lucy and our soap themeBob, I loved it so much.
It just makes me wonder.
I thought about that.
Of course, I think about it allthe time, but I thought about
that specifically because in oneof the photos.
(52:48):
I think about it all the time.
But I thought about thatspecifically because in one of
the photos they have thisbeautiful oil painting of Jock I
think there's maybe two of themand they have like Jock's car.
They had to have been reallydevastated.
I don't want to look too deepinto that just yet.
I don't think it'll give awaymuch.
Maybe I'll just pull up alittle bit, but I know that had
to be just devastating,considering that he'd gotten
(53:10):
sick and you can see thatearlier in the the season I
remember looking at him and hehad that sort of bloat.
And I don't mean that in anydisrespectful way, but when
you're like pumped full ofsteroids when you're in the
hospital, sometimes there's alook.
I remember seeing that with mykid brother a lot.
So I imagine this was probablynot easy to do, not easy to film
(53:31):
.
They did a good job.
But there is a little bit of acloud hanging over this, so I'm
going to just sort of keep thatin mind.
I'm not going to be too harsh.
I loved it.
It was still good.
Jr is who he is.
He is exactly who he thinks.
He is.
Worth his weight in in gold.
He's worth the price ofadmission if you just want to
watch something, if for no otherreason than to watch him.
(53:53):
Side note, I was.
I was in the, the living roomand this was on and my kid was
walking through and he was kindof helping me.
We're trying to like put thevacuum together or something.
And he looks up and he's likeis that derwood?
Why, how do you know who thatis?
My mother-in-law watchesbewitched like yeah, that is
(54:17):
derwood.
All right, y'all.
I think that's it, that's all.
Enjoyed myself.
I hope you did too.

45 minutes.
Everyone else in earshot, cool,quiet or kicked out are your
only options, because we arewatching the finale.
Ladies and gentlemen, boys andgirls, this is Soap Door.
Hello, gorgeous, Hello,gorgeous.
(00:48):
Welcome and welcome back toanother fun filled edition of so
Floor.
I hope your day is shaping upwell.
Mine is fantastic because allthis week I finally get to watch
the finale of season 4 forDynasty Dallas and Falcon Crest
and the season finale of seasonthree, knot's Landing.
(01:10):
Something occurred to me thelast time I recorded is.
This is new to me.
It's probably not new to mostof you I'm actually like the
like the uh premieres arehappening real time, but it's
new to me.
I hope it feels new to you.
That is my hope, that is mywish If you ever enjoy these
(01:32):
shows.
I hope you are re-watching themand it feels new or at least it
still holds up.
Well, I watched Honey.
I Blew Up the Kid.
I used to love that movie somuch you know what it held up.
That's not always the case.
I used to love that movie somuch, you know what it held up.
That's not always the case.
Sometimes I look back at thingsand think what the hell was I
thinking?
Case in point, the man in theIron Mask.
We're not going to get intothat all over again, but you
(01:53):
couldn't have told me circa 2003that Leonardo DiCaprio wasn't
robbed for an Oscar.
I watched that again and I'dsay who is this?
What is this?
The weave was bad, the actingwas.
I let his portrayal in GilbertGrape sort of blind me to
(02:13):
anything else he did for alittle bit, but it wasn't that
good.
That's neither here nor therey'all.
We are jumping back into thefinale and for this special
occasion I went on out to mylocal grocer and I found a
little bottle of somethingcalled toast.
It's T-O-S-T.
It's got the two little dotsover the O.
Pardon my ignorance.
(02:33):
I'm not sure if that means it'sSwedish, etc.
I'm not sure what country oforigin, but I do know it tastes
delightful.
I got the regular degular one.
I'm going to go back and getthe sangria tomorrow.
This is so good.
This is my something bubbly,since I watch it during the day.
Most of the time it'snon-alcoholic.
It is very, very comparable tochampagne, though I promise you
(02:55):
it is crisp, it is flavorful.
I think it's got ginger, whitetea, cranberry and something
else.
I don't know how they did it,but they did it well.
It is absolutely delightful.
It's less than eight bucks.
What do you have to lose?
All right, we're going to seewhat JR and Sue Ellen and
everyone else has to lose onthis episode.
Season four, episode 23, dallasEwingate.
(03:20):
Okay, I've just finished Fulldisclosure.
There was a point in the middleof the show where I needed to
figure out who this actor was.
I see this guy and everything.
I could be underwater and Iwould recognize his voice and I
really needed to figure out whohe was.
So I go to the IMBD of thisspecific episode.
(03:40):
Season four, episode 23 of theoriginal Dallas.
You have to put that, and I sawalmost right away just one line
.
It says this is the firstepisode filmed after Jim Davis's
death.
This makes a lot of sense goingforward in this episode.
He hasn't really been presenton some of them and I couldn't
tell.
I mean, we know what happened.
By this point I knew what wasgoing to happen.
(04:03):
But here's the thing about TVshows, especially popular ones,
their season, especially if youhave 20 plus episodes.
You know that's half of theyear.
I don't know how quickly theyrecord these.
Part of me feels like theymight, you know, record five or
six at a time and take littlebreaks in between.
But this, according to IMBD orwherever, says that this is the
(04:25):
first episode after his death.
When last we left, cliff was onJR's tail.
He picked up his scent and,through a series of sort of
strategically placed encounters,cliff Barnes figures out that
JR probably had a whole lot todo with this counter-revolution
in this vaguely Asian country.
(04:46):
I say that because they neverreally named the country, which
seems to be par for the courseon all the soap operas.
It's just sort of a vague place.
Well, this episode is nodifferent.
It picks up where it left off.
Cliff had brought thisinformation that he got from his
homeboy, who was planted by theWest Star people.
He brings it to the Senatecommittee that Bobby is on, and
(05:09):
at first they're like no, thisdon't matter, there's nothing
here, we're gonna let it pass,we're just gonna forget about it
.
Well, cliff was not having that, so he went to the media, he
started singing like a canary,he dropped all these clues.
So now the first thing we seeon this episode is that it has
blown up.
The ish has hit the fan.
It is a front page story on theDallas Morning News or Dallas
(05:33):
Star, whatever they call it onthis one.
Before we get too deep into that, we need to get rid of the bit
players first.
I hate to say it.
This whole season Pam has beena bit player player.
So has Lucy.
I had to look her up too,because this is my thing.
I, if you've been listening tome for any amount of time at
least two, three years you knowthat I was fully convinced
(05:54):
before I started watchingKnott's Landing that it was
going to be about Lucy.
The only thing I knew about itis that my auntie loved that
show to death and that it was aspinoff.
I think I figured that out Ican't remember how Pretty early
on I figured out that Knott'sLanding was a spinoff of Dallas.
So when I heard that and afterI watched season one and
(06:16):
probably like halfway throughseason two, I thought it was
going to be like a Lucy spinoff.
She's 18 at this point.
She's kind of wild and free.
She's having these affairs withgrown men.
I really thought it was goingto turn into something.
That's not the case, even onthis season.
I'm like her story was sothrowaway-able I don't know any
(06:37):
other way to say it.
She's not even on the finale.
When Last we Left she had comehome after a hard night or
weekend of being the young MissDallas who seems to do a whole
lot outside of Dallas.
Make that make sense.
She comes home and she findsMitch on the couch asleep, and
she finds Mitch's homegirlasleep in her bed.
(06:57):
Now, full disclosure.
I feel a way too, I would bevery, very upset if I came home
and there's another womansleeping in my bed.
Even if your husband isn't init, it would have to be like his
sister or his mom or somethingnot to be upset.
Mitch quickly explains and he'svery dismissive about it.
That is my friend.
It got too late.
As you can see, I am fullyclothed to sleep on the couch.
(07:20):
He was fully clothed behind thedoor in our bedroom.
Absolutely nothing happened.
And Lucy's like, yeah, likelystory.
So she sashays out of the roomlooking fabulous, tells Mitch
she's going to send for herthings, raul will come pick up
her things, she's going back toSouth Fork and that's it.
That's all it's like.
This whole season was Lucychasing after Mitch.
(07:42):
She gets married, then becomesthe young Miss Dallas and
basically spends every episodejust looking fly for no reason.
She walking around the kitchendecked out at six in the morning
for no reason.
I wondered to myself like, wasshe just busy?
Had the show gained enoughpopularity at this point which
I'm sure it had to where she wasjust doing other projects?
(08:02):
Because it really doesn't makesense.
I almost wish that they justsend Lucy off somewhere.
I wish she'd gone off to theEast Coast or something to go to
school or send her to I don'tknow somewhere in Europe to hang
out for a couple years.
But that's pretty much it.
She says she's leaving Mitch.
I guess Mitch is gone.
Not a whole lot to that.
(08:25):
Also Rebecca JG Wentworth, akaCliff and Pam's mother who
deserted them.
I watched that scene again andit made me even more pissed off.
Where she goes over to Cliff'shome and he's basically saying I
can't believe you abandoned me.
Do you know how horrible thatis to think your mom is dead and
(08:45):
then to find out that not onlyis she not dead, she just didn't
want you.
She was living somewhere else.
Her getting up and walking away, saying you know, I hoped you
could forgive me, because Ican't forgive myself something
to that effect and then walkingout on him again.
I don't want to harp on that,but you don't see her this
episode.
So that's sort of the lastthing I remember about her.
(09:05):
Just who exactly do you thinkyou are?
You really thought she wasgoing to walk in that room, let
that man see you, and everythingwas going to be Gucci and gold.
She probably thought, well, I'mnot dead.
So he's going to be excitedthat I'm not dead.
But I mean, I guess he got overit.
When she ate the black licorice, shout out to my friend Bob,
who actually likes blacklicorice Bless your heart, I'll
(09:27):
try it again soon.
I feel like I haven't hadlicorice in years, but last time
I did it was like cough syrup.
So JG Wentworth is pretty muchnot in this episode.
Lucy is not in this episode.
Ellie is also not in thisepisode a whole lot, but she's
at the beginning because, like Isaid, the proverbial ish has
(09:48):
hit the fan.
Jr's face is splashed all over,I guess, the world, all over
tabloids, all over the newspaper, because she calls from Padre
one morning talking about JR,what the hell is going on?
And he's like, oh mama, nothing.
He brushes it off as CliffBarnes is sort of stirring up
trouble.
She knows it's about thecounter-revolution.
It off as Cliff Barnes justsort of stirring up trouble.
She knows it's about thecounter revolution.
She's a little bit worried thatEwing Oil is being investigated
(10:08):
.
Jr wants to know if his dad hasseen it.
She goes no, and if I can helpit, he's not going to.
I mean, again, pardon myignorance, I wouldn't imagine
the paper would be in English inParis, but I suppose, or even
if it was, I can't imagine theywould get it quickly.
Seems like it'd have to be aday or two or maybe a week or so
(10:29):
later.
Anyway, she knows what's goingdown.
She wants to know what is.
Was Bobby involved, sincethere's going to be like a
Senate hearing possibly?
And he's like, no, no, no,bobby wouldn't do anything to
even help me.
She goes.
Well, I don't really sound likehim, but keep me posted, let me
(10:52):
know what's up, okay.
Last little bit player is, ofcourse, ray and his lovely new
bride, miss donna culver cribs.
Yeah, donna culver cribs, dckor dcc, I don't know.
I don't know how you spelledlast night anyway, with jock
being in paris celebrating hissecond or third or fourth
honeymoon I sure hope it's notthe second one and they're like
70 years old Celebrating hishoneymoon with Ellie.
Ray hasn't been tasked withtaking over Jock's position
(11:13):
there, but he is hanging out alittle bit more with Punk and
the other dudes in the newestcartel, the little bitty one.
And remember, they have thisland they want to develop right
outside of Lubbock.
Donna wasn't really keen on himbeing in that deal, but it
seems like he either.
I don't know, guys, I'm sorry,I don't know it's important but
(11:35):
it ain't that important to me.
Just know that Ray is iswetting his beak a little bit in
business and the other men inthe little cartel seem to be
impressed with how well he isacclimating.
So they offer a deal.
Punk anderson, the bolo don juanthat man has the best bolo ties
(11:56):
I've ever seen in my life.
I look forward to seeing himand what he's gonna wear.
He says to ray the guys and Ilike you so much, ray, we
weren't we're all going to sellyou a point, I'm assuming, from
their stock from their stocks, Idon't really know or a point in
their company.
I'm not sure how that works,but it's going to cost him a
million dollars per point.
So he's buying them from threepeople.
(12:17):
It's going to be $3 million.
He's like dang, that's a lot ofmoney.
I don't have no money like that.
Plunk Anderson and his bolo tieare taken aback a little bit.
Like he says I don't mean topry Ray, but you mean to tell me
you and Donna can't come upwith $3 million.
See, here's the thing.
Plunk Anderson doesn't knowthat Ray has a little bit of a
(12:38):
complex about his brand newbride being a millionaire.
That's the reason they broke upin the first place.
He was content to just kick cowturds all day while she was out
politicking without being apolitician.
They bumped heads.
But now that they're together itis natural to assume that you
know he's a little bit morecomfortable with that,
(12:59):
especially understanding his newlineage and the inheritance he
got.
But I guess he didn't get itall at once.
It's an inheritance or hesuppose he will get it once jock
passes away on the show.
But in the meantime, in betweentime he don't personally have
that in his accounts he tellsthat to punk anderson.
He says I don't really havethat kind of money donna does,
(13:21):
but I don't.
Punk anderson's like all right,I mean, let me know by tomorrow
morning if you want to do it orno.
We're all real impressed withyou.
We know Jock will be real proudof you.
This is odd to me.
Jock has always been.
He's always had his nose in thebusiness and we understand what
happened to the actor.
So obviously he's not in it,but at least a faux phone call,
(13:47):
right, it isn't like he's.
He technically, yes, is on theother side of the world, but
he's a phone call away.
I can't imagine he would justbe relaxed to the point where he
doesn't want to know anythingabout business, especially with
Ellie calling every 15 minutes.
But Ray decides okay, let me domy best.
So Donna is in Virginia.
You remember Donna Culver has astepson.
He calls the Senator stepson,which I guess would be his step
(14:08):
stepson.
I'm not really sure how thatworks If you marry a woman who
has a stepchild.
Is that your stepchild?
Yes, it doesn't matter.
Ray's step-step son answers thephone and says she's going to
some event, her and this otherlady and he's like, okay, bet.
So he hangs up and I guess hedecides F it.
(14:30):
We have a joint account.
I was shocked.
My jaw hit the floor.
He calls a bank and he says hey, banker, you know that joint
account I have with mymillionaire wife.
Go ahead and cut me a check for$3 million.
Yeah, make it a cashier's check.
I need it by 10 am tomorrow.
Wow, I just, I don't know.
(14:51):
That's such a touchy subject.
It's so strange.
Part of me is like how dare youuse her money?
But he did call, which is alsothe same defense that the step
step son says.
So meanwhile in Virginia, donnaCulver comes back a little bit
earlier to her step son's officeand he's like, oh, hey, ray had
called, he was looking for youright about that time.
(15:13):
The phone rings Well, is thebank?
The bank feels funny aboutreleasing three million dollars,
as they should, and they hadabsolutely no, no trouble
tracking her down.
She gets on the phone and she'slike hey, boo, you working late
Because she's got it like thatbecause she's a millionaire, she
talks to bankers on the regularand I suppose the banker's like
, well, I mean, yeah, but youknow, your new husband just
(15:34):
called, right, he asked me tocut a check for $3 million.
And she goes, oh, he did.
Oh, yes, I was aware of that.
Yes, okay, go ahead and cut thecheck.
They're like okay, cool.
But when they hang up, shetells her stepson that that was
the bank in that ray just cut acheck for three million dollars
and stepson's like, oh wow, Ididn't know he had money like
(15:56):
that.
She doesn't say anything.
So stepson ded oh so most ofthat was your money.
He's sort of thinking like me.
I mean, well, he did call,that's what he said.
He did call, he said he hadsomething important to ask you.
So it was probably that.
But the fact that he just wentahead and did it, ooh, it's
(16:16):
surprising to me.
Ray does not strike me as agambler.
He's never been just superoutright.
He's not like doing a lot onthe show other than Lucy, that
one time or six or seven times.
But he seems very steady inwhatever it is he does.
Maybe it's just, you know, it'snew.
He wants to be taken serious andI kind of feel like these guys
(16:38):
are taking advantage of that.
I can't prove it and I'm notgoing to go back too many
episodes because I got otherstuff to watch, but I feel like
they know he's a little wetbehind the ears and they don't
want to.
Is that does that mean young?
He got milk on his tongue, asthey would say.
He's young, so he's not assavvy as the rest of them.
I kind of feel like they'replaying him a little bit.
(16:59):
Yeah, him.
I kind of feel like they'replaying him a little bit.
Yeah, so he cuts the check.
But at the same time I'm likey'all have a joint account.
Yeah, I don't know, girl, I'msorry, once you hit a million
dollars and your new boo don'thave that, I think I mean maybe
you have a joint account, but Iwouldn't put all of my millions
in it for sure.
(17:20):
Moving on.
Speaking of moving right along,my girl, sue Ellen, wants to do
just that.
Last episode she had just sortof resolved to be John Ross
Ewing III's mother.
She was going to be happy inthat.
Only now her newly walkinglover is back from the dead and
Dusty wants to take her away.
He wants to he said I'm notgoing to lose you again, girl, I
(17:44):
want you to be with me.
So, dusty, and his blabbermouthdaddy you remember the one who
told Sue Ellen that he wasimpotent, I don't know.
Okay, I guess he just wantedher to know, but that really was
none of his business.
I guess dad feels bad aboutthat, this episode.
So he says so well then,whatever you need we got.
(18:04):
He already understands that JRis not going to just let her go,
and she says as much he's notgoing to let me go, but he's
definitely not going to let mego with my son, more importantly
, my son.
He's way more important to methan JR.
So I don't even know how I'mgoing to get him out of there
and he's going to send his fullarsenal at me.
Everything has lawyers, goons,whatever Dusty's daddy is like.
(18:26):
Well, listen, I don't know him,I know of him, but I know me and
I know my money.
I have just as much money, ifnot more, than the Ewing's.
If he wants to play dirty, wecan play dirty.
If he wants to act a fool, I'mgoing to act three fools.
Whatever he wants to play dirty, we can play dirty.
If he wants to act a fool.
I'm gonna act three fools.
(18:47):
Whatever he wants to do, it canbe whatever.
So she's like okay, cool, I likeyour style, old man.
What I want to do, though, issneak in and get the baby.
I feel like if I just take thebaby and leave, he'll just have
to deal with it.
So they're trying to figure outwhen she can do that and she
knows about this whole expose inthe paper because, like I said,
it was everywhere, and sheknows that jr is in a little bit
of hot water, so it buys hertime because he's going to be
(19:08):
distracted.
She's like I'll try to do ittonight.
That's what I'll do.
He'll be distracted, I'll tryto do it tonight.
Well, jr, at the top of the show, has all these cops at the
house, and I was thinking didsomebody jump in?
Did something robbed?
I couldn't really remember whythere would need to be a police
presence at his home.
Turns out he doesn't want thepaparazzi getting close to the
(19:31):
house, so he has cops there.
That does not make sense, butwe're going to allow it.
Soap tax, soap tax, soap tax.
He then heads to Austin so thathe can talk to one of the
senators.
Naturally, jr's reach is farand wide, as far as Texas goes,
and he knows a guy.
He knows a guy on the Senatesame Senate that Bobby's on
(19:53):
little panel or whatever.
So he goes to him and he's likedude, I so hate to ask a favor,
but I need a favor.
The guy's like yeah, whateveryou need, thank you so much for
contributing to my campaign.
Jr's like no sweat, I need youto contribute all the receipts
y'all have about me being inthis foreign oil.
(20:15):
And the dude was like I can't,I can't, I can't See what had
happened was normally I could,but the justice department is
involved and they're going tolook at everything.
And if there's even a slightchance that it looks like I gave
you anything, there goes myhead.
I can't, I can't risk it.
I'm sorry, I just can't risk it.
(20:36):
And she was like okay, that'sfine, don't worry about it, I'll
be in touch soon.
And also I'll be in touch whenyour campaign comes up,
basically saying you can forget,my money Doesn't really matter.
As soon as he walks out of thedoor, this little gentleman
comes up to him and hands himsomething.
He's like you have been servedby the committee of legislative
(20:56):
inquiry.
They subpoena him.
He has been in court in oneweek.
The hits just keep coming.
Immediately jr goes to the payphone.
He calls luella, his secretaryat the job, and he says hey, I
need you to find claude brownand, wherever he is, make sure
he gets the hell out of dallas.
So she has taken the message.
(21:18):
Now she's taking the message.
Somebody else is walking in theoffice, so she's not really
paying attention.
She's writing everything downonce she else is walking in the
office, so she's not reallypaying attention.
She's writing everything downOnce she hangs up.
Someone's like Luella, whateveryour last name is.
She's like yeah, she subpoenaedas well.
She's like, oh crap.
Meanwhile JR is in Austingetting even more unfavorable
news.
He goes to see a lawyer thesame lawyer that was going to
(21:39):
divorce his parents who shouldbe in Dallas, but he's in Austin
, I suppose, for some reason.
And the lawyer's like I can'treally help you, jr, unless I
know what we're up against, andright now I don't know anything.
You don't know what thesepeople have.
They could have a smoking gun.
I'm not saying you did it, butI'm saying you probably did so.
I'm gonna need some moreevidence.
You got, between now and courtdate or hearing date to uh,
(22:02):
collect whatever you can sue.
Ellen calls shortly after that.
She doesn't call the lawyer,she calls ewing oil.
The other secretary, whose nameI don't know because she's
newish answers and tells herthat jr is in austin.
She goes oh man, okay, I guessI just missed.
I'll try to catch him at thehotel.
She hangs up, minds herbusiness.
(22:23):
Although this is wonderful newsfor her, it's also her biggest
mistake.
This isn't the slutty secretarywho likes them.
This is the secretary who isgood at her job.
So naturally she's going toaccept that phone call as a
message, even though Sue Ellensaid she was going to call.
Austin matters none, because JRis quite busy at the moment.
(22:47):
He's scrambling.
What do I do?
Jr has way too many women inhis life.
Because the future Mrs Ewing, msLeslie Stewart, is over at the
West Star, she's like hey, um, Imay have some information you
might enjoy and I would like tobe your PR person for the
company if I am so inclined todeliver this information.
(23:09):
I have Now.
Jeremy at Westar is probablywaiting on this information.
If I recall, this isn't theirfirst or second meeting.
So he's like I'm listening,what's your cash?
And so he's like I'm listening.
What's your cash?
Says I have irrefutableevidence that JR was not only
involved but that he funded thiscounterrevolution in this
vaguely Asian country.
(23:29):
And Jeremy's like oh, you know,say hmm, so I suppose you said
you want to.
You want my PR position.
I guess you will be my client.
I want the PR position.
He's like how do I know you'renot lying?
She goes come to my apartmenttonight and you'll find out if
I'm lying or not.
I'll draw out the contracts.
I'll give you what I have.
And he's like well, what do youhave?
(23:50):
She said I have tapes, homeboy.
He's like you got tapes?
Are you going to give it to thesenators at the hearing?
She's like I don't know, itdepends on how much they pay me.
So a lot is going on.
That night Leslie Stewart ismeeting with Westar to basically
put the nail in JR's coffin.
Sue Ellen is planning to escapewith John Ross, ewing III.
Unfortunately, sue Ellen is notgood at escaping.
(24:12):
Matter of fact, she's terribleNow.
She thinks JR is in Austin.
So she's sort of taking hertime when she goes to get the
baby.
Only, it's nighttime, right,babies probably go to bed at
what?
Seven or eight o'clock.
No, no, no.
She comes in and she puts thisbaby in a complete like easter
(24:33):
outfit.
He looks like a little lawyer,he looks like he has business to
attend to at 8, 30 at night andshe's loudly saying, saying,
okay, we're going to go to thesacred cross or sacred something
.
You're going to love it there.
I am basically kidnapping you,which is not kidnapping because
it's her son.
So she puts his baby on thisfull sports jacket, button up
(24:54):
shirt, pants, and I was like,damn, they don't have granimal
back there.
There's no oshkosh bagosh youcould put him in.
No, no, no, he's got to lookprofessional as they sneak out
of the house.
So she tells the baby they'regoing bye-bye.
Now, john Ross, ewing III is alittle parrot at this age.
(25:15):
We're going bye-bye, bye-bye.
Keep saying that.
Unfortunately for her, he'ssaying that as they're walking
down the stairs and in walks.
Jr and ar isn't in austin thatnight.
Matter of fact, he was probablyalready back in dallas, but his
secretary thought he was inaustin, which would explain how
he talked to the lawyer.
Anyway, sue, ellen has no pokerface, you would think.
(25:38):
Miss texas is used to sort ofthinking on her feet.
She a little rusty, trying toget to.
Only now she got to deal withthis man in front of her.
So as she's coming down thestairs with Mr John Ross Ewing,
the third Esquire, jr isimmediately suspicious because
why is this baby dressed likehe's going to court?
And he said where y'all going?
Nowhere, really.
(26:00):
Well, my secretary told me youcalled today asking where I was.
So now what are you doing?
She just breaks.
She's like so what?
Yeah, yeah, yeah, okay, I'm out, this bitch, I don't want to be
here anymore and I'm takingthis professional baby with me.
Jr said I'm not my professionalbaby.
He has a police apprehender andthey sort of do this thing where
they collide up against eachother and spin and he's able to
(26:23):
snatch the baby out of her armsright away.
And I thought it was a stuntdouble at first.
I had to rewind it because Ithought it was like a my Buddy
doll, the one with hair.
But no, it looks like it wasthe baby.
Now he's not loudly crying, butlater you see he has like tears
in his eyes.
He snatches the baby, has a copgrab her and he said don't ever
(26:45):
let her back in this house.
She's, you know, as you would,acting a fool.
She's yelling I'm going to getyou, jr, give me my baby.
She's very loud as she's beingdrug out of the house.
I'm going to get him.
I'm going to get him andthere's nothing you can do about
it.
Well, I guess all the ruckusstirs Pam because there she goes
, at the top of the stairs, shesees Sue Ellen being drug out by
(27:07):
the cops kicking and screamingand she says dang it, jr, give
her that baby.
That is her baby, give it backto her.
He looks up at her.
He's like mind your business,pam, she is not getting my
professional baby.
She's just like your mama,drunken slut that ran off and
(27:30):
left her baby First off.
It's worth noting that this isthe second time JR says out loud
that he would kill Sue Ellen.
I'll kill you.
Somebody asked him about itlast episode when he was trying
to see how quickly he could getdivorced and sell the whole
company and be with LeslieStewart.
He told the lawyer like if shetries to take my baby or whoever
I can't remember If she triesto take my kid, I'll kill her.
Talking about Sue Ellen, she'syelling at him trying to get the
(27:52):
baby.
He's like I'll kill you beforeyou get this baby.
She's like yeah, whatever,whatever, she's getting drug out
.
Pam confronts him.
Like I said, his revisionisthistory turnaround time is
remarkable.
I'm always sort of a little bitimpressed with people who can
lie with a straight face.
Have you no shame?
You didn't even stutter, sayingthat he just told Pam to mind
(28:13):
her business and that her mamawas a drunken slut and she ran
off and left her kids too.
And I'm like wait a minute,hold up.
He literally snatched the babyout of Sue Ellen's arms 15
seconds ago.
But let him tell it now she ranout on the baby.
She ran out on the baby is whathe's telling Pam, who bore
witness to the whole situation.
Number two why is Rebecca JGWentworth, 877 Cash, now
(28:37):
catching a stray?
Why are you bringing her upLike she ain't got nothing to do
with this?
I was really hoping.
Pam said hold up.
First off, my daddy was thedrunk, not my mama.
Get it right.
And second, uh, what slut?
Excuse me, well, now I don'tknow about her, her, but I
(28:59):
hardly think two dudesconstitutes as a slut,
especially coming from JR.
Her mama was, I mean, yeah, sheran off, oh, yeah, and you know
what she was with that man.
I forgot about that, okay.
So yeah, I guess she can sayshe left me with my daddy.
My daddy was drunk.
I don't know who else she waswith.
Yes, the dead dude turned outto be my dad.
(29:21):
So I don't know who else shewas with.
Yes, the dead dude turned outto be my dad.
So I mean there's that.
But I mean I don't think thatmakes her a slut.
She definitely wasn't a drunk.
Now she did run off.
I'll give you that she ran off,but let the record reflect that
she was a healthy, sober womanwith a normal and healthy sex
drive, not a drunken slut, letthe record reflect.
Speaking of, I ain't callingnobody out their name, that's
(29:43):
why I call the secretary a slut.
Look what the cat drug in.
Again.
Kristen comes to JR's office andshe wants some more super
secret child support.
Apparently, he's been sending acheck right alongside old hound
dog face Jordan Lee, but shewants more.
She ain't satisfied.
Now, this is interesting, Ihave to give it to her.
(30:04):
This is quite the little schemeshe's got going on here.
Who's to say she didn't tellthree or four people that they
was a baby's daddy?
And you just collect the checks.
She tells JR though she hastime today.
She said I have picked up somehabits in LA that I need to keep
up.
I'm going to need you to run mesome more money Now.
He's almost sick to his stomachbecause he's at risk of losing
(30:26):
the company.
He's basically at risk of beingput away.
He can go to prison, which wasDusty's dad's point when Sue
Ellen was nervous about takingthe baby.
He says it's not normal forcourts to give the father
custody.
And if this man goes to jail,that's like it's not normal for
for courts to give the fathercustody.
And if this man goes to jail,that's like it's just better on
(30:47):
you.
So everybody's sort of bankingon him going to jail and maybe
Kristen is too.
She knows he could.
So he's like listen, I don'thave the money today.
I need to move a few thingsaround, but I'll go ahead and
cut you your check.
It's like okay, and if hedoesn't, she basically threatens
to tell his mother and then shesays send my love to Sue Ellen,
okay.
Meanwhile, on the other side oftown, cliff is fully just sort
(31:10):
of riding high on this, althoughwhen he brought it up to the,
the senators, they weren'treally trying to hear.
They don't have a choice andhe's kind of proud of himself
because he orchestrated all this.
He's the one who dropped thedime on him to.
The papers don't really matter,though.
Jr must be one hell of a loveror one hell of a check writer,
or maybe he's both, because allit takes is 2.78 seconds for
(31:33):
Afton, who's Mitch's littlesister, to come over to Cliff's
house and they're having drinksand he just keeps saying God,
I'm so sleepy and I'm so tired.
I don't know why I'm so tired.
Well, he's tired because shedone slipped something in his
drink.
Man conks out flat out on hiscouch.
She shakes him a little bit,promptly, goes to the door,
(31:54):
opens it up, lets jr and a dodirt dude come in and leisurely,
casually, without rush, searchfor all of the evidence that
cliff has against him.
I mean, they take their time,they go.
I mean it didn't take long, butthere's no rush.
There's clothes and drawers andstuff.
(32:15):
They even go to the kitchentable and sort through
everything.
They have to take pictures, andthis is like 1981.
So it's not a camera phone,it's the damn near the one you
stand under with the blanket.
Look at the little birdie, thebig.
It is hella loud as the mantakes pictures of every single
piece of paper that cliff has.
(32:37):
You know he had to go get thatdeveloped and he even says out
loud well, you only have fourdays till the hearing.
I guess you could drop it offat walgreens or whatever, but I
don't know if that one hourphoto back in 1981 either way,
that's neither here nor there,because jr has exactly what he
(32:57):
needs.
He paid afton a couple bucks.
She bounces clip is none thewiser about being drugged.
He's passed out.
I guess he wakes up later andthe next time we see everybody
is in court.
I'm going to be very honest.
Not a whole lot is happening inthis episode, but this scene was
kind of interesting.
Claude Brown totally don'tremember who Claude Brown is,
(33:20):
but he has been subpoenaed.
The secretary was subpoenaed.
She didn't actually testify.
And let me be clear it's notreally a court case, it's a
hearing, which is why JR wasn'tgiven the evidence in the first
place.
It's not an actual court case.
You don't have to do that ifit's not in court.
So Cliff was banking on himshowing up and just sort of
(33:40):
being blind to what they had,and then it would have just been
irrefutable.
He wouldn't have had time toexplain it away, but he had four
days to think of stuff.
The first people they intervieware from the cartel, so it's
Jordan, lee and the one and onlylady.
They're basically saying yeah,it was kind of weird that
everything went down with theAsian oil wells, but I can't
(34:01):
prove he did anything.
I'm just saying it sort ofsounds like something he could
do, and the lady agrees.
That's exactly what she said.
She's like yeah, I told JR thisseems like this is something
he'd be capable of, but did hedo it?
I'm sure I don't know.
I have no way to say that.
I have no proof.
I don't know, but it seems likesomething he would do.
Yeah Well, that ain't goodenough.
(34:23):
Claude comes in and I sweary'all, this is the same dude
that served in the subpoena.
It was just from the back, wecouldn't really see his face.
They just put a man in somesunglasses and had him testify.
The long and short of it isthat Claude Brown went to this
vaguely Asian country anddelivered money to three
(34:43):
different people, threedifferent people who happened to
be in the embassy for thatcountry.
Next thing, you know, thegovernment is overthrown, blah,
blah, blah.
Money goes missing.
So it's pretty much a smokinggun.
It should be sort of an openand shut case, because all this
money came from JR, all thismoney was delivered by Claude
(35:04):
Brown and he said well, I wasgiven the money so that they
could overthrow their government, he ain't trying to go to jail.
Well, if that's not bad enough.
In walks Leslie Stewart in shoesI could tell she didn't break
in.
She was walking like her feethurt in this little mob number
with the with the collar, Iguess, to make herself look more
innocent.
Her hair's pulled up, she's allprofessional.
(35:25):
She looks like a school mom andthey immediately started asking
her what happened.
And she sings like a canary.
She talking about I don't workfor JR anymore.
I put in my resignation back inApril.
I'm now working for Westar.
You know I don't have nothingto do with him.
And they're like okay, well,why do you think he did it?
She goes well, he told me.
That's how I know.
I know, I know he did itbecause he told me he did it.
(35:55):
And they say you don't say shesays well, sir, luckily I record
all of my conversations that Ihave with anybody all the time,
so I happen to have this tape.
Here's the thing the devilworks hard.
Kris Jenner works harder.
Nobody works as hard as JR.
It makes it look so easy.
So the tape that Leslie has, sheis definitely trying to
incriminate him and I don't knowif he's just wise like that or
he's used to being set up orhe's just suspicious.
But on the tape you hear hersaying JR, you overthrew that,
(36:19):
don't you have something to dowith that?
And he's like I don't.
I mean, I just bought oil wells, that's all I did.
And she tries again JR, ifyou're going to be my client,
you're going to have to tell meeverything.
I don't want to be caught offguard.
I'm going to have to spin this.
You know she tries to take thePR angle.
I need to be able to spin thisin case something comes out.
He goes well, honey, nothing'scoming out.
I just bought some oil wells,got a deal.
(36:41):
I didn't know the country wasgoing to do.
Whatever she goes, jr, you 100%have something to do with
overthrowing this country.
And on the tape he says well,if that's what you want me to
say, honey, then sure Peoplealready seem to think that he
didn't incriminate himself.
Now, luckily, I'm watching thisin 2025.
I've had the luxury of watchingthe OJ Simpson trial court TV
(37:06):
law and order right away.
It's like yo.
He did not incriminate himselfat all, he really didn't.
He didn't say, he didn'toutwardly admit to anything.
But it doesn't matter, becauseif you put all these pieces
together, you have a guy whotook money from JR because he
was sent overseas to pay offthese people.
You have his PR agent, who hasrecorded a conversation where he
(37:27):
sort of admits it in a tonguein cheek way.
It seems like it would beenough to take it to the next
level.
Only JR is not one to getcaught.
He's not.
You got to wake up extra earlyin the morning to catch him, so
he's very easily able to explainthis the way he says.
Now, what had happened was Iknew I wanted some oil wells
(37:48):
over in this vaguely Asiancountry.
I'm trying to rebrand myself.
Y'all seen the papers.
You know what I'm saying.
I'm trying to rebrand myselfand I don't want to come off as
a greedy American who just goesto a country and takes, takes,
takes.
So I made a few donations sothat they could build their
infrastructure, blah, blah, blah.
(38:08):
Next thing, you know, there's acounter-revolution.
I didn't know that was going tohappen.
The senators are all looking ateach other like is that so Seems
like a likely story, jr, thisall just happened at once.
So you mean to tell me nowyou're friends with the new
government?
He's like well, like I said, Ididn't know they were going to
do that, but I mean I guess itdoesn't hurt that I had already
(38:31):
donated this here money to them.
The senator's like yeah, yeah,yeah, cliff is kind of smirking
like damn, I'm impressed, eventhough I know you're full of it,
but I'm impressed nonetheless.
Jr calls this plane to come.
He's like well, I only did whatI had to do.
I didn't know they were goingto overthrow the country.
It just sort of worked out myfavor.
And I mean, if they're friendswith me now they are.
But I mean, what can I say?
So they're like well, why didyou tell Leslie that you did it?
(38:52):
He says well, I mean, look ather.
Basically, he says in hishearing, which is televised, by
the way, or being recorded bythis very large camera, he
basically says I was just tryingto get in them draws, so I had
to say what I had to say.
You know what I'm saying.
You know what I'm saying.
They all are like yeah, okay, Iguess Trifling 1981 is so
trifling Anyway, it reallydoesn't matter, because In walks
(39:16):
a man from a vaguely Asiancountry.
This man from a vaguely Asiancountry is played by James Hong.
I promise you.
I promise you, you know whothis man is.
But let me get to what he says.
First.
His name is Ambassador Thon andhe says that what had happened
(39:37):
was JR, like he said, is tryingto build the infrastructure in
my country before it was takenover.
He didn't know, he had no idea.
This man walks in with thesebeautiful watercolor paintings
of the buildings, like what'sgoing to happen?
What like?
What they're going to build isoh, look at this hospital, we're
going to build this here andthis is a new school.
(39:59):
And the committee is lookingover like, wow, that's wild.
Now it all seems like thisseems like a likely story, but
it's crazy enough to be true.
We're going to do this.
Now.
Cliff is about to just bust outlaughing.
He's like y'all cannot I repeat, you cannot be believing this.
Mr Thawne not only shows themthese plans and these beautiful
(40:21):
watercolors, but he's able tosay JR gave us $9 920 american
dollars.
Mr brown kept 80k for himself.
Mr brown, who already said hedid it for the
counter-revolution, he kept itfor himself for procuring the
deal.
Well, cliff is about thissniggling.
At this point he's laughinglike dude, come on, y'all cannot
(40:42):
be believing this.
So he says, okay, let's say allthat happened, all that money
was in the Bank of Singapore andthen it disappeared, never to
be seen again until today.
Suddenly it's all accounted for.
Can you explain that?
And the senator is like yeah, Imean, that's a good question to
(41:08):
Switzerland, because ourgovernment was in shambles and
we didn't really know what wasgoing to be up or down or left
or right.
We didn't want to risk losingall that money forever and not
being able to build the stuff.
So we put the money in a Swissaccount and now that we know
everything is Gucci, we can putit back where it was.
Likely story.
But you know what?
Jay already had one of thesenators in his pocket, the guy
who does not want to lose allthat campaign money.
(41:28):
And he says you know, I thinkwe should equate them, we should
just let this go.
They all agree, Unanimousdecision, we're going to let
this all go.
Mr Thawne also adds Mr Ewingnot only sent all this money to
us.
He promises us 10% of all ofEwing Oil's profit.
10% of all of Ewing Oil'sprofit.
(41:48):
Now, that was clearly not apart of their deal, but hey,
that's the price you pay for himcoming in their line for you at
the last minute.
Now Mr Vaughn is a guy I had tolook up James Hong, because I'm
like God this man is making hismoney.
He was on Dynasty as Stephen'sdoctor in the South Asian
country that was, you know,wasn't ever named there either.
He was a plastic surgeon forStephen's new face, not old face
(42:10):
Stephen, new face Stephen.
Then he was Chow Lee's cousinon season two of Falcon Crasher.
This guy in BD was ridiculous.
I'm saying this man has beenworking since 1959.
He is still alive.
He is 95 years old, living inMilwaukee.
But I'm like this man got everycheck.
He's got a very distinct voiceto me in a cadence that is
(42:33):
undeniable.
When you hear him you know it'shim every single time, which is
why I was able to recognize himfrom Kung Fu Panda.
He was in the Thundermans asthe grandpa a couple episodes.
I think my kids love that show.
They just watch it on repeat.
His voice is just as distinctto me as like a Morgan Freeman.
You hear Morgan Freeman, youknow immediately with him, even
if you don't know his face.
(42:54):
Like a Sam Elliott, it's thatdistinct man, either way.
He was getting his check.
Cliff is none too happy aboutthis going down the way it goes
down.
So he goes over to JR and he'slike I'm gonna let you know
right now if you think this isthe end of it.
This ain't the end of it by amile.
And jr is like cliff, stoptrying to make fetch happen.
(43:18):
It's never going to happen.
If you was gonna catch me, youwould have caught me by now.
Sir, come on now.
Cliff is pissed.
Cliff don't know that he wasdrugged and that the evidence
actually came from him.
He thinks Bobby gave it up.
So he goes to confront Bobby.
He was like wow, I neverthought in my life that you
would do this.
I can't believe you gave himall that information.
(43:38):
And Bobby's like you can'treally believe that, do you?
Cliff's like definitely do.
Now.
Bobby says look, come to thebranch tonight.
We'll talk about it.
I'll prove I didn't do it.
Cliff says all right, I will.
This scene to me did not?
It seems a little bit rushed.
I'm starting to think well,I'll get there in a second,
we'll talk about that in aminute.
Bobby looks sick to his stomachthis whole time and now that I
(44:00):
think about it he's not in thisepisode very much.
Nobody's really in this episodevery much.
So cliff agrees he'll go to the.
He'll go to the house at night.
Meanwhile JR goes back to hisjob, business as usual, and his
secretaries are all clappingwhen he walks in.
They already heard that he's,you know, free at last.
Free at last.
So JR tells Phyllis who's thenew secretary looked up her name
(44:23):
, phyllis.
I need you to call LeslieStewart.
Tell her I want to see hertonight.
Bet Llewellyn, call theCattleman's Club.
I'm going to rent out thatwhole thing.
And then, when you're done,write up a letter of
recommendation.
She goes, a letter ofrecommendation.
He's like yeah, you're going toget a new job.
I told you to get Claude Brownout of town.
He almost put me in jail, soyou got to go.
(44:44):
He's going to be kind enough tosign the recommendation letter
that she types up.
Kristen is in his office andhe's got a brand new swing in
his step.
He's not worried about heranymore.
She's like I'm here for mymoney.
He's like what money?
Don't play in my face.
You know I can make your lifereal difficult if I see fit to
do so.
He's like what are you going totell my mom?
You're going to tell my dad?
I don't care, tell him.
(45:09):
Tell him, do that and I'll makesure you go to the clink for
popping a cap in my ass.
You think I forgot?
And she's like ah God, I guessI did shoot you.
Damn, I forgot about that,because it ain't too late, honey
.
Well, the next time we seeKristen, she's in her hotel room
.
She's pissed.
He does threaten her.
Let me say that too.
He tells her to get out of hisoffice and if she's smart she
better get out of Dallas, orhe's going to send some goons to
make her wish.
She never met him.
She leaves.
(45:30):
The next time we see her, she'sin her hotel room.
She's on the phone withsomebody.
She's like well, it didn't work, so I don't know who she's
working with.
Part of me kind of thinks it'sthat guy who I thought looked
like the kid from UtopiaEuphoria.
I can't remember.
He was working with Cliff for awhile.
You know the one.
You know who I'm talking about.
I don't know if that's him.
(45:50):
That's who I think it is.
I'm like I don't know who elseshe would be talking to on the
phone.
She tells whoever it is on thephone that you know he's not
going to give her the money andI guess they say well, I guess
you should give up.
And she's the other side oftown.
Sue Ellen shows up to Pam's joband she says Pam, pam's hugging
(46:13):
her.
They never seem like they getalong to me.
I don't know if they got alongin real life, but I know they
don't really.
They don't seem like they gotalong too much on the show.
Sue Ellen and Pam, that is.
But Pam hugs her because shesaw everything go down.
She said, girl, I worried aboutyou.
Good, everything okay.
Yeah, everything's fine, but Ireally want my baby.
I need your help, pam.
(46:34):
Now Pam doesn't say yes, butyou know she's down because, a
she don't like JR.
B he called her mama a drunkslut when she wasn't drunk,
probably not that slutty also.
And c she feels like the babyneeds to be with Sue Ellen, no
question about that.
Jr ends up going over to LeslieStewart's house and to my
(46:56):
surprise I guess they're alittle more light than I thought
.
Two birds of a feather.
She's like hey, you know.
Sorry, not sorry, it was you orme.
I thought you were sinking so Ijumped ship.
And he's like no, I totally getit, I would have done the exact
same thing to you.
And she's like oh, cool, well,I mean no hard feelings, I guess
(47:18):
.
And he's like listen, the wayyou only think about yourself is
so sexy, it turns me on so much.
And she's like really, youstill want me.
He's like, yeah, I want youmore than ever.
So they do the onewhomp-de-womp.
Next thing, you know, they'resitting in bed and she's a lady
because they have crystalglasses filled with champagne.
(47:39):
And he goes, you know what?
That was not worth the wait.
And she says you know what?
Baby, I was thinking the samething clint glasses.
He's like you should call weststar.
You probably got a job overthere.
Miss stewart is a lady and wayahead of the game.
She's already got that joblocked in, as far as we know.
But she is a lady because shekeeps on her pantyhose.
(48:03):
Now, how she did the funkywatusi with her pantyhose on,
I'm sure I don't know.
But I mean she said it waswhack.
He said it was whack, so Isuppose he's better at writing
checks than that.
But makes no, nevermind, all iswell.
He goes home.
When he gets there he goes tothat fever dream of a nursery.
(48:26):
He's looking for John Rossewing the third, only john ross
ewing the third is not there.
He goes downstairs ellie's notthere, teresa's not there.
None of the staff is there.
The house is mad empty.
Bobby's not there, only the copis there.
And he goes did you where's myson?
The cop says oh, mrs ewing tookhim for a ride.
(48:47):
Didn't I tell you not to let?
Oh, no, the other Mrs Ewing.
That's what they get for having97 people with the same name in
the house.
The other Mrs Ewing took him.
What Police are called?
He says my sister-in-law justkidnapped my son.
She's in a black Porsche withEwing number six as a license
plate.
That's another thing.
I don't know how they're doingany dirt with these license
(49:08):
plates with their names on them.
So now there's a bolo out forpam.
Next thing we see cliff comesstorming up to the house and
when he gets there he looks overand he sees somebody like face
down in the pool.
He jumps in and he flips over.
He says her, he flips over thewoman and he's like, oh my god,
she's dead.
Jr is up on the balcony holdinga drink, just sort of looking
(49:31):
really satisfied, and Cliff issort of wailing like, oh my God,
what have you done?
End scene.
Okay, I want to be fair here.
I'm not saying I didn't enjoyit, I'm not saying that it's not
good.
What I am saying is that itdefinitely felt off.
(49:52):
Now that I'm putting all thepieces together, like, okay, we
started off this season with abang, quite literally a bang.
Jr is being rushed to thehospital.
He's been shot, we don't knowwho.
Since we shot him first, two,three, four episodes, the
buildup after that.
I'm not saying that it lulled,this just seems like it came out
(50:15):
of nowhere.
This is the first time.
The last couple episodes he'sjust threatening to kill
everybody.
I'll kill you, I'll kill you.
Up until now jr has been.
He's been kind of shy steam.
He's been a liar.
He's definitely a cheat.
He is scandalous, he isself-centered, he is selfish, he
is self-absorbed, but he ain'tno killer.
(50:35):
You know what I mean.
Even if you take val's story,remember, val suffered the same
fate.
He.
He promised kristen.
He sent goons after val.
So she was bullied out of Texasfor 16 plus years but she never
died.
You know what I'm saying.
It would have been real easy tojust offer, but he never did.
I don't, I just don't see himas no killer, but he's awfully
(51:01):
satisfied by whoever's in thepool.
Now that's the other question.
I know you OGs already knowthose of us who don't know, I
don't know Like the person.
It looks like they have darkhair.
My first thought was it wasLeslie Stewart, and I'll tell
you why.
He absolutely threatenedKristen.
(51:21):
He absolutely threatened Pam.
He absolutely threatened SueEllen.
He didn't threaten LeslieStewart at all.
Now that I'm saying out loud.
I don't know why she would goback to his house or how she got
there, but I think that couldbe part of the mystique.
I don't really know.
Kristen makes a lot of sense,like she would go over there,
(51:41):
but it looks like they haveshort hair.
Kristen has a bunch of hair.
So I don't really know.
Know, but somebody is dead offin the pool at south fort.
It was good, I'm not gonna lie,it was very good.
But uh, you can just.
You can just tell something hasshifted.
Like there's not everybody'snot really in the story very
(52:01):
much ever.
There's just very few scenesfor this to be the finale.
It almost feels like it wasn'tgonna be the finale, but they
just sort of aired it.
Not bad though.
Season four did not disappoint,and I'm still excited.
One of our soap queens made itto Dallas, to the South Fork
experience, and when I tell youI sipped my beverage and went
through every single picture.
My favorite picture is SueEllen and not Sue Ellen, excuse
(52:27):
me, first off, sue Ellen.
Yes, because I adore her.
I love her so much, sue Ellenand not Sue Ellen.
Excuse me, first off, sue Ellen.
Yes, cause I adore her, I loveher so much.
Sue Ellen looks amazing still,but my girl, val and Lucy, I
loved it.
Val, lucy and our soap themeBob, I loved it so much.
It just makes me wonder.
I thought about that.
Of course, I think about it allthe time, but I thought about
that specifically because in oneof the photos.
(52:48):
I think about it all the time.
But I thought about thatspecifically because in one of
the photos they have thisbeautiful oil painting of Jock I
think there's maybe two of themand they have like Jock's car.
They had to have been reallydevastated.
I don't want to look too deepinto that just yet.
I don't think it'll give awaymuch.
Maybe I'll just pull up alittle bit, but I know that had
to be just devastating,considering that he'd gotten
(53:10):
sick and you can see thatearlier in the the season I
remember looking at him and hehad that sort of bloat.
And I don't mean that in anydisrespectful way, but when
you're like pumped full ofsteroids when you're in the
hospital, sometimes there's alook.
I remember seeing that with mykid brother a lot.
So I imagine this was probablynot easy to do, not easy to film
(53:31):
.
They did a good job.
But there is a little bit of acloud hanging over this, so I'm
going to just sort of keep thatin mind.
I'm not going to be too harsh.
I loved it.
It was still good.
Jr is who he is.
He is exactly who he thinks.
He is.
Worth his weight in in gold.
He's worth the price ofadmission if you just want to
watch something, if for no otherreason than to watch him.
(53:53):
Side note, I was.
I was in the, the living roomand this was on and my kid was
walking through and he was kindof helping me.
We're trying to like put thevacuum together or something.
And he looks up and he's likeis that derwood?
Why, how do you know who thatis?
My mother-in-law watchesbewitched like yeah, that is
(54:17):
derwood.
All right, y'all.
I think that's it, that's all.
Enjoyed myself.
I hope you did too.
