Message: <blockquote data-quote="James from London" data-source="post: 287806" data-attributes="member: 22">1957Abby: Cathy [Geary] was born in Rockhill, Wyoming. Cathy: I’m actually from Texas, by way of Arkansas.John Mackey on Rebecca and Herbert Wentworth: [They had] a daughter, Katherine.Pam: All these years, I never knew I had a sister.Clayton on Dusty: I’ve been watching him ride since he was ten years old, even younger. Clayton, looking over the Southern Cross: That rise over there, that’s where old Dusty tried a jump that was just a little bit too big for him one day, went flying over his horse. Walked away without a scratch.Miss Ellie: How old was he then?Clayton: About ten or eleven.Clayton: Atticus came over to Southern Cross once in a while when Dusty was growing up. Clayton on Dusty: Never cared about the ranch or the business, all he wanted to do was cowboy.Naldo Marchetta: When I was a little boy, I was a cowboy.Charlie Wade: Do they have cowboys in Italy?Naldo: Well, only in the movies. But in the small town near Rome where I grew up, my family had a home with beautiful grounds. We had a stable and horses and I learned to ride when I was very young. I always thought of myself as a cowboy.Charlie: What did you call your horse?Naldo: Tony. It’s a good Italian name, no — Tony? But it was also the name of that horse ridden by the great American cowboy, Tom Mix.Jenna: You never had a horse named Tony! Naldo: Yes, I did, and we also had one named Silver.Charlie: That’s the Lone Ranger’s horse.Naldo: Yes. I would see many American films when I was young, mostly westerns, and that is how I learned to ride bareback. You see, one day I went to see a film with Burt Lancaster and John Wayne …Kimberly Cryder (née Styles) on her father Herbert: He taught me to ride. He taught me many things.JR to Kimberly: Texas belles and their ever-loving daddies. Why is it I keep thinking that you have something to do with his being married six times?Dr Styles: I’ve been married five times. Never stopped me from getting anything I wanted.Dr Styles to Kimberly: Remember what I told you over and over again when you were a little girl? Your worst enemy is your own impatience.Carter McKay: I watched Kimberly grow up.JR on playing touch football with his brothers: Old Bobby was the power house. If he couldn’t outrun you, he’d try and bite you on the knee.Bobby to JR: You had the best hidden ball trick in Dallas.JR: That’s what made me so successful.Gary: Yeah, we did have some great games.JR: I wonder how many hours Daddy had us out there, practising [our rodeo skills]?Bobby: Quite a few. If I remember right, you didn’t take to it. It was mostly Gary and me. Miss Ellie on Jock and their sons: He used to take them all hunting and fishing. Sometimes they’d be gone a whole week.Gary, speaking in 1985: I’m driving the route Daddy took us [from Texas to California] when we were kids.Bobby, speaking to JR in 2012: Let’s you and I go fishing at the big water tank. We’ll get some bass for breakfast just like the old days.JR on Jock: I remember when he used to take all four of us out hunting.Ray: All those ghost stories he used to tell us round the camp fire. I can remember Gary sitting there, frozen in terror.Bobby: Gary? I remember you, sitting on your hands to keep them from shaking!JR to Bobby: Now hold on, old Ray was the strong one. I remember waking up in the morning with you in my sleeping bag.Bobby: That was my first hunting trip, and I was only seven years old. You’d been there before, you’d heard all those stories. Bobby: I remember how mad I was because Daddy wouldn’t let me carry a gun. Christopher, speaking in 1988: How come I don’t get to do any shooting?Bobby: That’s exactly the question I asked, Christopher, when I was your age [seven].Gary, speaking to Bobby in 1978: Does Daddy still tie you in the saddle?Bobby to Gary: When we were kids, you and I found a mare running wild. Daddy promised she'd be mine if I could break her. He never knew you did it for me. You almost broke your back in the process.Cathy: Haven’t you ever wanted to run and away and join the circus?Gary: No, with me it was the rodeo.Gary: I used to watch those cowboys on those broncs and, man, I wanted to do that. We had this horse on the ranch that was really mean so I’d practice on him. I’d get up on him and he’d throw me, and I’d get back up on him again, but I was determined to get good enough to enter the rodeo. So when I was fifteen, I figured I was ready. My daddy figured otherwise. So all my friends and I, we snuck into the rodeo at night, and I found me the meanest horse they had. And I got on him just to prove to my friends that I could do it. I stayed on for almost eight seconds. The only problem is I had to get drunk in order to do it so when he threw me, I broke my back. Afterwards, my daddy came to see me and it was like, I don’t know, like he was proud of me for having the guts to do it.Cathy: Sounds like you and your dad didn’t get along so well.Gary: I always felt like I could make a difference in the world if the right chance came along.Sue Ellen: I’ve always wanted to do something useful with my life, something that would make a difference.Gary: Ever since I was fifteen, I wanted to make a difference, not a big difference, not an earth-shattering difference, just a difference. So that when I died, I could say, “I made a difference. I made something better.” But I seemed to have the opposite of the Midas Touch.Gary: When I was in high school, we used to hang out at a place called Dwight’s that had a pinball machine I could never beat. Drove me crazy. I must have played two hundred games on that thing. Then one night I was studying for this big final exam. I took a break, dropped by Dwight’s for a hamburger. Afterwards I played the machine and I won. Then I won again. I tell you, there must have been something wrong with it because I played sixteen games on that thing and, test or no test, I had to play them out. And when they closed up the place, I had eight games left. I flunked the exam and never beat that machine again.Gary on chemistry: I never liked that much.Mack: Karen, what do you remember about trig?Karen: That I avoided it like the plague.Bobby on math: It wasn’t my all-tine favourite subject.Paige: Did you ever master fractions, Greg?Greg: Actually, I never did like messing with small numbers.Greg: I flunked math two straight years. Then I stopped and I started looking around at all those kids who were getting straight As and they all had one thing in common. They all had their underwear on backwards. So I decided I would learn math, but more important I would use what I learned. Laura: Did you really flunk math?Greg: No, I lied.Mack on Claudia: The smart one, grade As, the valedictorian.Claudia on herself: The class nerd.Mack, speaking about sex in 1985: It’s been crossing my mind since I was Michael’s age [sixteen] — before I was his age.</blockquote>
