![]() ![]() No idea why that popped in my head, but I did learn that it was named after the skin color of the woman who invented it in 1864.In retrospect, maybe it was steelworkers, but that still makes no sense to me. ![]() ![]() To be fair, maybe my assessment was tainted by the 2 stretched out characters. The zinger about the cash doesn’t work by itself because she is already rich. Sure, she’s a bigamist, but that is even more reason for her to have lied. She could claim she lied to protect her husband - the rich current one. It’s not like there was a laptop full of incriminating emails and pictures already in the hands of the authorities that would certainly be used as evidence immediately if there was one honest law enforcement officer in the whole food chain.Įven if they found out about her first marriage, her story is pretty solid. The cops might not find her connection to Tony. I didn’t like the leads, the motivations were not dumbed down enough, and it still seems a simple matter for Crystal to get away with it. ![]() The Detective says they will really have to dig into his past to find his beneficiaries. Turns out Tony invented a novelty in the prison workshop - the Popeil Pocket Anus - and sold it for millions, although mostly in cigarettes. She says he was waiting in the car after her show, although, I don’t see how that makes her story any more credible.īack at South Fork, her oilman husband tells her she can stop working because he has r^ped the environment enough for the both of them. As the cops approach, she shoots Tony.Īt the police station, she says she did not know him. 1) She again accuses Tony of wanting her money, 2) he again denies it, 3) I again have to go off-campus to research their motivations. Crystal slams on the brakes and, in the confusion, grabs the gun. The cops appear behind them with sirens a-blarin’. He asks her to drop him off at the bus stop, but she refuses. Tony says any man who marries her deserves all the grief he gets. As they drive on, 1) she again accuses Tony of trying to shake her down, 2) he again denies having any interest in her or her money, 3) I get confused again. She then cleverly indicates which road they will be taking. When she signs the credit card slip she writes a short SOS note to the gas jockey. She eggs him on to take it, but he says he doesn’t want it. When Crystal gets the gas card from the glove compartment, Tony sees she has kept his old gun. I have to halt the proceedings and thank bare*bone e-zine for clearing up the motivations for me, because I was completely baffled how they got there and what either’s plan was. Crystal stops him because she says she doesn’t want to have a man seen exiting her car. Crystal pulls over to get gas, and Tony tries to bail out. They get in her car and she drives to her beach house although, strangely, I’m not sure whose idea it is. Tony reminds her that he never ratted her out to the man she robbed, or the man she married, or “the man”. What a gal! She has tried to destroy any paperwork that would connect them. As does “in the can”.Ĭrystal generously asks how much he wants to forget they were married and never divorced even though she did it for free. The article told how she had become a famous singer, been through a couple of husbands, ended up with a rich old oilman, and included her recipe for Apple Brown Betty which has a different meaning in the can. Sadly, since it was in a Reader’s Digest, it was not large enough to cover a hole like the one his cellblock neighbor Andy Dufresne would finally escape through in 4 years. While in prison, he saw her picture in a magazine. Or a demand for half of the $.15/hour wage from his job in the prison workshop. Suspiciously, not even a birth announcement. For seven years, he never heard from her. He reminds her he took a rap for her in Cleveland so their baby would not be born in jail like Bane or in Cleveland. Her not-quite-ex Tony enters without knocking. She says the drums sounded like a jungle uprising, which is problematic enough to permanently finish her set today, She also says the musicians sounded like they merged with the Stihlworkers union, but what do chainsaws have to do with anything? ![]()
