I loved the way they teased each other on the show. Thank you also for complimenting me and Jenny on our writing skills. I am glad that you could imagine Larry and Linda playing out that scene. <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" />I can imagine it in my head too when I write. Good point that none of the original couples ended up together. I've never really thought about it before but you are absolutely right. <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite3" alt=":(" title="Frown    :(" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":(" />Okay so now it's time for an update: Cliff was walking around at an automobile shop in downtown Dallas as he was looking to buy a new car. Right now he had set his eyes on a brand new hummer when a salesman came up to him, “Good day sir.”“Hello,” Cliff answered.“Can I be of any assistance to you?” The salesman asked.Cliff grinned, “Yes I’m interested in buying a new car, a family car!”“Well sir, then you’ve made an excellent choice. This brand new hummer is very spacious and roomy.”“Yeah well…”“Its engine is very strong. It got four doors…”“Well I can see that!” Cliff said, as he was getting a little annoyed with the man’s blabbering.“It also got a rooftop and…”“What’s the prize?” Cliff interrupted impatiently.“Oh we have a really good offer this week, if you buy now you’ll get 10 % off.”Cliff’s eyes lit up, “Well that’s good. But how much is it?”“57 000 dollars but you’ll get it for 50 000,” the salesman bargained.  “Hmm…that’s quite a lot of money for a car,” Cliff said thoughtfully.  “Yes but it’s a state of the arts car,” the salesperson said. “Everyone drives a big car these days, it’s the new trend and…”Cliff bit his lip thinking of that snob that Afton was with and said, “Yes I think I’ll take it!”“Oh you’ve made an excellent choice sir. You’re getting a wonderful car!”“Yeah well, there’s just one more thing.”“Oh you just name it,” the salesperson smiled.“I want a personalized license plate on the car,” Cliff said.“Of course you do, it will just take a week to order it…”“Oh no I already have it, here it is!” Cliff smiled proudly as he picked up the sign from a paper bag he was carrying with him.The salesman stared at him like he had lost his mind but then plastered on a smile again and said, “Oh it’s very nice Mr. Barnes!”“Yeah I think so,” Cliff smiled. “So if you’ll just put it on, I’ll take the car with me right now!”“Oh sure but it will take half an hour to fix it,” the salesperson said.“No worries, I can wait,” Cliff said.“Perfect, if you’ll just sit down over here Mr. Barnes, I’ll bring you some coffee.”“Oh thank you,” Cliff sat down with a smile on his face, as he was thinking about how impressed Afton was going to be when she saw his new car.However his smile soon faded as he overheard two older ladies gossiping, “Did you hear what happened at the oil baron’s yesterday?”“Yes it’s unbelievable, JR Ewing was there with his ex-wife and I who thought she hated him!”“Well I thought so too, but apparently not. Also you can never guess who was with them?”“No who?”“But oh dear haven’t you heard, they were there with Pamela and Bobby Ewing!”Cliff raised an eyebrow upon hearing that.“Really?” The woman asked. “But I thought Pamela Ewing was dead…”“But oh dear you don’t know anything, she never died, she just left.”“Did she?”“Oh yes, however now she’s back and back with Bobby too, they were kissing at the restaurant in front of everybody!”“Oh how disgraceful, like teenagers!”“Yes those Ewings are shameless. By the way have you seen that new movie?”“Yes, but I don’t understand how that could be based on the Ewings, they seem to get along just fine.”“But don’t you understand the movie is fabricated by Cliff Barnes and that Englishman whatever his name was! Such idiots…”The ladies started to leave, “Speaking of idiots, have you heard what happened to our dear friend Hilda when she and Herbert took their golf round the other week?” The ladies disappeared out of earshot and Cliff who had overheard the entire conversation looked like he had bitten into a lemon.</blockquote>
