[QUOTE="Lastkidpicked, post: 283226, member: 237"] [USER=672]@the-lost-son[/USER] thank you for posting that. Amazing acting by Barbara Bel Geddes. I think [USER=3926]@Jimmy Todd[/USER] is on to something with his post. Watch the tiny details for clues: The boys and Theresa are in the dining room when they hear the plates crash. Theresa thinks it was an accident and immediately moves toward the kitchen. Bobby knows better and instinctively says, "Theresa, wait" as the boys go toward the kitchen. Notice they both stop when they see Momma leaning on the counter, mourning Jock. Look at their body language. It's actually J.R. who leans in and wants to approach Momma. But Bobby knows better. He knows Miss Ellie needs to be alone for this. Notice the little gesture of Bobby taking J.R. by the elbow and leading him out. This is where the chemistry between the actors really shines through. J.R. is the older brother, but it is younger brother Bobby who makes the decision to leave Momma alone, It is one of the few times that J.R. thinks to himself, "I don't know what to do, so I'll follow Bobby's lead."
