me, too! Dallas being a mildly salacious show of its time, my mind went here:I misunderstood the question this morning thinking that you asked us which two characters we'd like to be stuck in an elevator with!
early Clayton before he was watered down to almost nothing towards the end. He started as a total badass, but with class!
she could ‘buy my company’ any day!
man... without a hail mary phone shot ala the southfork fire fight, JR might have been in in serious trouble if he said the wrong thing!
I don’t know, I think at an older age for Jock and a lot of pent up anger, I think Gary might have this one. He’d know all the buttons to push (no elevator pun intended) and I think if swung on he might not be able to pull himself back. I think Gary and Jock would have been one hell of a reckoning.JR and Pam
Miss Ellie and Cliff
agree re Jock and Gary but i wouldnt envy Gary
Jock and Digger or Cliff
Teresa and Raoul x
Ted Shackleford's Gary would certainly have a chance - you could tell he was quite a good athlete and Jock was decades past his prime - and I might favor him in a gentleman's match where they square up and play by the rules. He'd better not screw around, though, because as the old boxing wisdom goes and old Tom Owens found out, power is the last thing to go, and Jock certainly knew how to throw and take a punch and likely knew a ton of street-fighting tricks that Gary never would have learned. If he started off on that speech above without being fully poised for action, he might find himself looking up at the elevator lights before he got halfway through.
I also think that the pent up anger in Gary would go a long ways to giving back what ever physical assault he took, but I agree if Jock got in a good one from the start it could end right there. And yes count have been great art. Every word revealing something we didn’t know. “When have you ever been a real man? Certainly not when your momma died all alone!” There could be issued brought up, one sided from Gary, that no punch from Jock could return as much pain as dealt. That would have been incredible to see - a deep dive into Jock and Gary as characters.
or Jock and Digger! As great as the episode was, their initial encounter on the porch or veranda or whatever it was in Barbecue was a bit of a letdown. Jock giving it to him verbally by the bar was a pretty spectacular scene, though..
generally agree, but maybe the problem all along was that Jock and Digger were too stubborn to understand each other fully? Yeah, thinking more, I’m not seeing it working
I guess Jock and Digger wouldn’t have come out of that elevator understanding the other any better but I still would’ve liked to have seen it for entertainment purposes alone. I can see them getting drunk and talking about the old days and maybe having a laugh or two before they went right back to arguing again.
Maybe a more life threatening situation between these two.
I’m not sure those two could even *fit* in one elevator car with those outfits!
