Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. The actor who played Ray Krebbs on "Dallas" was shown in the opening credits for the show - in its own unique three-way split of flash video - beginning with this second season. Who was that actor?
2. J.R. was feeling the loss of the alliance with Mainwaring Oil since Lucy had cancelled her marriage to Kit Mainwaring and he did not hesitate to discuss it - even with the obviously despondent former bride-to-be. Bobby was a bit more sympathetic. What did he do for Lucy that made her feel much better?
3. J.R.'s troubles were not limited to the loss of the Mainwaring partnership. The OLM (Office of Land Management) had stopped test drilling at a site that Ewing Oil had hoped would be very productive for them. What report did the OLM use as an excuse to delay approval of that drilling?
4. J.R. and Jock learned of the most recent drilling delay when their foreman, Bud Morgan, came to Ewing Oil from the drilling site in Midland, Texas. In this episode the character of Bud Morgan was played by another cowboy-type actor who would play the part of Clint Buchanan for many years (more than twenty!) on the day-time soap opera, "One Life to Live". Who was it?
5. The recent delay of drilling for oil had J.R. and Jock very worried. They simply had to find a way to deter the actions of the OLM against Ewing Oil. Jock felt they could make some progress if they could convince Sam Culver to work the political machine in their favor. From the options given - and, those discussed in this episode - what was an office Sam Culver had held?
6. Lucy was not the only resident of Southfork with concerns of the heart. Ray was still carrying a torch for country music singer and former girlfriend, Garnet McGee. Then Ray met Donna. She was deliberately reserved about sharing information with Ray about herself. Why?
7. The Ewings entertained the Culvers with dinner at Southfork; yet, Sam was reluctant to give J.R. the nod of approval J.R. had hoped would come. Not to be dissuaded, J.R. was determined he would find a way to convince Sam Culver to do his bidding. What did Sue Ellen mention after the dinner party that J.R. completely ignored?
8. "Dallas" seemed to feature an abundance of talented guest stars. Another supporting actor who appeared in this episode was well known for his parts in many of the western genre shows. It was John McIntire; he appeared on film - movies, then movies and/or television - in every decade from the 1940s thru the 1990s. Who did John McIntire play in this episode?
9. Although Lucy seemed elated with her gift from Bobby her friends were convinced she was not as much fun to be around as she had usually been. Lucy and three of her girlfriends spent an afternoon sunbathing at the Southfork pool where the three guests were busy planning a party for later that evening. Lucy was not interested. What did they offer her to change her mind?
10. Ray was very happy with his relationship with Donna. They had agreed to proceed with caution. Ray invited Bobby and Pam to join him and his new lady-friend for drinks at his favorite hang-out. When Bobby and Pam arrived at the Longhorn Bar they saw Ray and Donna together before either Ray or Donna saw them. What did they do?
11. J.R. had faith in his own ability to learn enough about anyone to be able to capitalize on an opportunity when it presented itself. It was his modus operandi. He knew Donna would be no exception. What happened that proved J.R. was - once again - right to have faith in his own abilities, insidious as they were?
12. Sue Ellen was drinking to an excess every day. Seemingly, she ignored she was advanced in her pregnancy. Her drinking was not without notice - or, without repercussions. Other members of the Daughters of the Alamo wanted her to resign her position as their president. Who was asked - by the other ladies - to tell Sue Ellen that she needed to resign?
13. J.R. did his usual espionage work as he followed Ray and Donna to a local motel where he saw the two of them go into a room together. He wasted no time in getting Donna alone the next day to let her know he would tell Ray all about her if she did not convince Sam to vote against the OLM and, thus, oust Cliff from his position. What did Donna say to J.R.?
14. Donna called Ray and asked him to meet her. They did not meet at any of their usual "out-of-the-way" places. Donna had something very serious to tell Ray. She told him she was married. Married to Sam Culver. And, that she had told Sam about her affair with him. What else did Donna tell Ray?
15. The Ewing family breakfast was interrupted with a phone call - for J.R. - from Sam Culver. Sam told J.R. that after a long talk with Donna, she had convinced him to support the OLM and Cliff Barnes. Sam believed both were doing what was best for Texas. What was J.R.'s retort?
