MONDO EXTRAS
Lone Star State of Mind
In a super swanky hotel lounge, Bob is approached by a lovely young lady in a suit who wants to know if she saw him heading to Dallas the other day. She sits down with him to chat, and the next thing we know he's explaining about the magic medicine that you mix in with a drink so as not to get drunk. He claims that something is wrong with his room, and he's waiting for it to be fixed... she invites him to take advantage of the ample room that she has available and he smiles and fiddles with his wedding ring as a sign. The girl doesn't care that he's married, she just wants some fun because marriage sucks the sexy out of a relationship. We see him on the phone alternately listening to Lindsay and Cat tell him about their days. He asks hotel chick about something that is real and lasting, she said that people are only nice to each other when they have something to hide. She assures him that no one would ever have to know and asks for one good reason. We see him telling Cat and Lindsay he loves them, and then telling pretty random girl that he's got two and takes off to his room where there's actually a maintenance man fixing the hot water. I for sure thought he was conning his way into a free room and didn't have a place to stay. Go figure.
The next morning he's at a jewelry shop, back to the clean and friendly airport and driving back to see Lindsay. Then he's mowing the lawn without a shirt on. She doesn't seem to be complaining.
At a football game, Drew and Trammell are talking about their glory days and Tram's son's prospects. Trammell wants to stop Bob, and Drew doesn't care. Trammell thinks their dad could be losing his edge because he used to crush slimy salesmen like Bob. But Drew says Clint recently punched out a thieving roughneck so he's totally fine. How's the roughneck? Drew continues that Bob's family, so they really have no say. Trammell refers to a mysterious Uncle Roy who is now dead, and Drew looks about as pensive as his limited brain will let him. Tram says he'll take care of Bob, so long as Drew's behind him.
Bob's having a huge backyard barbeque in Midland, complete with moon bounce. The aunt from Sabrina the Teenage Witch (not Caroline Rhea, the other one) is Lindsay's mom. She and Lindsay's dad are so excited about the well and the profits they are going to get that they are already planning their trip to Europe. They continue to unwittingly make Bob feel like shit by going on about other people losing their retirements while they and their friends are off buying new cars thanks to the well.
