[QUOTE="Mustard, post: 440155, member: 46"] It was business. If J.R. doesn't offload those wells, Ewing Oil takes a massive financial hit and is practically ruined. J.R. actually expressed surprise that Vaughn Leland was buying into the wells, and briefly tried to direct him away from it, but Vaughn was like "Are you kidding? I want my share, J.R.". Yes, J.R. noted the irony of Vaughn's situation and that contrasting with Vaughn demanding that J.R. mortgage Southfork before. As Tom said to Sonny in The Godfather "Even the attempted murder of your father was business, not personal, Sonny". Drug kingpin Sollozzo had a meeting with Vito Corleone about getting protection from the police on Vito's payroll, with Sonny Corleone also in the meeting. Vito refused Sollozzo's request, but Sonny was objecting. Sollozzo concludes "Bump off Vito, and I can do business with his son when he takes over". [/QUOTE]
