Julia's Speech to the doctor in Old Spouses Never Die

[rbendtzen]

Hi.

Back in 1993, I saw the episode, Old Spouses Never Die for the first time on the local Fox channel in Salem, Oregon.

I thought that Julia's speech to the doctor about Charlene's cancer was fabulous. I especially liked the last few lines of where she tells him that he doesn't have to do the "dying of the women." When I saw this back in 1993, I noticed that she said those last few lines with such feeling and forcefulness.

A few years later in 1996, when I saw it on Lifetime, the take in which she said those last few lines was redone. She said it a little more quieter. Finally, when the first season came out on dvd, I rented it and found that the take used on the Lifetime version was used. It's interesting why she made 2 takes of those last few lines. It starts when she says: "You're seemingly a kind, benevelint, authority figure, who tells women to let you do their worrying for them."

If anyone out there happens to know about the takeI I am talking about back in 1993, and has it, could you please upload it to to YouTube sometime? I would like to hear that.

Please let me know. Thank you very much.

I know exactly what you're talking about... it was especially pronounced when she said "There's one thing wrong with that Dr. Mitchell...", especially how she said his name. Very forceful and very "pissed off".

I thought I was the only one who noticed that and thought I had imagined it. Glad to see I'm not crazy!

There's also two different ending credits for "101 Ways to Decorate a Gas Station." One shows the cast posing for a picture with Eldon, the other is of Eldon walking around his redecorated digs!
