Something funny you might have missed.


I don't know if you guys ever caught this but there is a scene that always makes me laugh. I cant remember exactly but its during the Bill and Melissa first introduced to Jo and the crew scene. At one point in the background of the shot you see Dusty holding Melissa's hand guiding her somewhere like you would a dog, it makes no sense why he would be holding her hand and walking with her like that.

I noticed this the last time I watched it, and laughed my ass off! I just like how she is allowing this freak, whom she just met, to hold her hand!

Actually, it doesn't look to me like he is holding her hand like you would a dog but like they were together. The two of them seemed to have more chemistry than she and Bill.

They did; I agree. Though Dusty was supposed to be gay, right?

Bill and Jo had great chemistry. Good casting.

And for those who disliked Phil as Dusty I disagree. Nice to have seen the late, great PSH in his vigorous prime!

No, Dusty was a professional chain-yanker, the man lived for it. He's a caring fellow at heart, but his antics were tension diffusers. The part where he's mocking Jonas & Eddie may make you think that after the first one flips Jo's truck, but he really was trying to piss Eddie off since Eddie jumped ship and joined the dark side (i.e. Jonas).

Another funny moment during that scene. When Jo jumps down off the truck that one guy who listens to classical music is snapping photos of her for some reason.
