Just paraphrasing…”Don’t you have some cows to birth?” John Ross to Christopher.
That might be the best one of all!
That one was too funny. John Ross is becoming a bit more like J.R every episode. I can’t wait to see how ‘Ewing Energies’ pans out. Has a nice ring to it. Poor Bobby wants so hard to believe in it, but he’s seen too much through the years. If those kids only knew.
I know, right? Don’t these kids watch the “Dallas” reruns and see all the mistakes their parents made? Jeez!
LOL! John Ross and Christopher should have a long sit down chat with Lucy, she’ll fill them in on all the dirt and then some. One thing I noticed in the show, nobody is downing drinks. haha. Ann doesn’t allow cocktail hour? haha. They drank like fiends in the old one. I’d be passed out with all that liquor, and then driving around with no seatbelts, ahh the seventies and eighties!
Perhaps they misplaced the liquor cart when they remodeled Southfork.
” I am sorry I threw up in your bathroom” Liked that one!!
Me too!
Okay this is a Cliff Barnes quote– season 6 ep. 15. “Isn’t this ironic? No matter which way we go we wind up helping Bobby Ewing. How’s that for a bone in your throat?” LOL.
Ha ha!
“Think ahead, Sue Ellen. Think 25 or 30 years ahead. I won’t be here then. And the fight won’t be between J.R and Bobby, It’ll be between John Ross and Christopher. Think carefully Sue Ellen, your loyalty to your husband is a wonderful thing, but you’re a mother too. And where will this all end?”
Wise words, Miss Ellie! It’s just beginning on Dallas 2012!
I love that scene!
Yes, I love when Miss Ellie gets the final word!
I mentioned once I run a Voyagers website and am a huge fan of that show. Well, I just made this quick blog post. I love finding connections 🙂 –
