    Woody's Dilemma

    I really enjoy Kelly's family. They are about as disgusting as a group can be. I love her father because he is pompous and totally insensitive to everyone. But the kicker is a pre-wedding party where both Woody and Sam are invited and Roxanne, Kelly's mother comes on to the Wood Man big time. Meanwhile, Cliff is unable to get off a mechanical bull, sent to the bar from a failed enterprise in Texas. Not so funny, but interesting.

    Storyline

    • Goofs
      When Sam overhears "The Boys" talking about the stock market, he is shown with his checkbook in his hand prepared to write his check for his share seconds before he actually pulls it out of his coat pocket, and a cocktail disappears from his hand.
    • Quotes

      Kelly Gaines: Sam?

      Sam Malone: Yeah?

      Kelly Gaines: You're invited to come Saturday too. After all, you're almost a member of the family. Mother, Sam was the one who introduced Woody and me.

      Sam Malone: Actually, no I didn't.

      Kelly Gaines: You didn't?

      Sam Malone: No.

      Kelly Gaines: Well gee, it'd be rude to uninvite you now, so I, I guess we're stuck. Well, we'll see ya.
