[QUOTE="Kenny Coyote, post: 179187, member: 102"] That's certainly one good way of doing things. It leads to an interesting discussion. I started this thread to see which way people saw it, which is why I asked: "Do you think she was afraid that Jock was going to give controlling interest to JR"? There are people who see it the way I do and there are people who see it as Miss Ellie interpreting that as there would be a contest. It's probably 50/50. The line "...that's got to be the man who wants it the most" to me describes JR, since he'd was the one son who had spent his whole life wanting it. Bobby wanted it at times, but he also stepped down from Ewing Oil and gave control of it back to JR. Bobby had decided he didn't want to do some of the things the job required of him and there were other things he'd rather do. I believe that Bobby was very content being "The B Man" and he was good at it too. Had he refused to let Pam talk him into taking on the job of running the company I think Bobby would have ended up a much happier man. He looked much more content at that time of his life than he did later. [/QUOTE]
