When the emergency lighting comes on, it’s high time to stop and get some questions asked and answered!! Right, David?

Everything will be fine, now! The toilets work!
Hotels are confusing enough when you have lights on. After that, it’s just hopping around in the dark hoping you don’t “go” in the closet.
As with any question, the answer is typically “It depends who you ask”. So now, when we ask “What do we do now?” it really depends on who you ask. If you ask the Inspectors, you get one answer, and if you ask the guys in the bar, you get another. Aaaaand everything in between.
Sorry for the continued delays!
Well, Amber and Ambre to the rescue, right? Buddy’s bank account and Lee’s buzz are counting on things running smoothly.
And really, everyone wants a nice, quiet evening with friends all around, sitting comfortably and watching a nice floor show. Except Duke. He wants a fight to watch. And Big Ron. He wants a fight to …fight. And Ziggy, whom I believe (though I don’t know for sure) would like to get into a kiddie pool full of Jell-O with Amber and Ambre. Feel bad for Zig. He doesn’t have much of a home life, apparently. And you can feel conflicted for Amber and Ambre- they’re trying to run a business, bu-u-u-u-ut I don’t think they have a lot of background in running businesses. At least not businesses run out of a kiddie pool full of Jell-O in the floor of a backwood drinking house along the edge of a flooding lake.
Not a lot of people do.
The title today may be weak. Depends on how hip you are to very, very old TV shows.
Either way, Steven’s in trouble. Kara’s in trouble. When you’re in trouble, it’s never good to get separated. So, y’know, they’re in Double Trouble.
“Double Couple Trouble.”
That should be a game show.
Ron has a new agenda. Couple of days ago, it was drinking and fishing. Now, it’s intimidating Mal into giving up on his relationship with Shelly. Easy to see how he might switch from one to the other. Fish. Mal. Both are things he’d like to catch, then toss into a lake.
Mall and Shelly’s bunch are living in the past. You can’t keep focused on what you want out of the next ten minutes when you’re focused on what was going on before you came into a hole-in-the-woods bar.
Buddy’s there to help them keep some perspective. What HE wants out of the next ten minutes is to make several hundred dollars on the sale of alcoholic beverages and stay in business. See how easy that is? You can’t worry about ten minutes ago when there were no brand new customers in your hole-in-the-woods bar ten minutes ago! You need Focus! Focus on drinking alcoholic beverages!
Gotta focus on what good ol’ Buddy is saying.
Duke is an instigator. I mean, remember his team at The Great Stanky Creek OutdoorFest? It wasn’t called “Them Duke Boys” for nothing. He instigated that, and then stirred up trouble until it was just easier to keep that name than any of the others that people wanted. He laaauuuughed about that! And now, he’s trying to get Mal beat up and Ron possibly locked up. He probably hasn’t thought it that far through… probably just got as far as “I bet I can start a fight between the biggest guy here and the smallest guy here” and let it rip at that.
But here at the Buck’s Pass Bar, it’s all about who can pay what. Now. So, fight or no fight, there’s drinks to sell. Who’s buying?
I don’t suppose they wanted to rearrange the seating arrangements when they rescued Big Ron and Duke off of their truck.
I also don’t suppose they asked Mal if he had a different suggestion before everyone just piled in.
Isn’t that good?!
