A genius scheme for cheap gas for quick profits while playing "man of the people", getting a variance from Walt Driscoll (via blackmail) to pump out more oil for himself but not for Bobby, talking business with Cuba, and annoying all the Texas oil community with his variance. J.R. was playing the game and was winning, while Bobby started resorting to traditional J.R. methods like setting up blackmail.Jock meant subtlety when it came to business, not in their personal lives. J.R.'s lack of subtlety in business, as Jock remarked, turned competitors into enemies and enemies into fanatics. Of course, Jock himself didn't always do this properly, like with Tom Owens from The Dove Hunt episode.</blockquote>
