I found myself tuned to the Hallmark Channel and observed the following:
Rue McLanahan: I was always proud of you!
Lisa Hartman-Black: When I won the speech contest, why did they interview YOU?
[ MUTE ]
Rue McLanahan: [ TEARS ]
Lisa Hartman-Black: [ TEARS ]
Rue McLanahan: [ HYSTERICS ]
Lisa Hartman-Black: [ HYSTERICS ]
Rue McLanahan, Lisa Hartman-Black: [ cathartic embrace ]
Oh man, that’s hilarious. Thanks for the transcription. At first I read the whole dialogue without noticing your “[MUTE]”. Then I laughed harder.
My parents watch assloads of the Hallmark Channel. I guess they could do worse. At least they’re not addicted to FOX. For a long time they watched Walker, Texas Ranger every night but mom got tired of the violence. Now they watch M*A*S*H followed by Touched by an Angel, on whatever channels those are on.
