Garrett Duke was working on his vehicle outside of his apartment when his thoughts and concentration was abruptly shattered by a door slamming shut. Taking a deep breath, he slowly stands up and turns around to stand face to face to Jesse Duke. "What you think you're doing, boy?" Jesse says, his voice thick with disappointment and concern. Garrett looks away in attempt to hide his anger before looking back at his uncle. "I'm working on my wrecked car," he dryly states, putting emphasis on wrecked. "Not no more you ain't," Jesse states in a matter of fact tone, "get in the truck." Garrett goes to protest only to be cut off by angry blue eyes of his uncle. Shaking his head in defeat, he throws down the oil stained towel he was clenching onto onto the roof of his car before looking angrily up at Jesse before turning around and climbing into the cab of the old white Ford truck. They drive a long awkward five minutes in silence before Jesse interrupts the piercing silence by saying, "Everyone is at the Boars Nest celebrating what was suppose to be a fun race," he pauses, his voice drips of disappointment, "and you run off to pout because you didn't cross the line first." Jesse shakes his head. "I'm disappointed in you and your un-sportsmanship. You can't even congratulate yourself. Too busy feeling sorry for yourself. But you know what? Not everything is about you." Jesse allows more silence in the cab of his truck as Garrett stares out his window. "I thought I raised you better than this." Garrett quickly glares at his uncle in disbelief. "I ain't Bo or Luke," he states in disgust and disbelief, "you didn't raise me." Jesse nods at his mistake. "You're right, I didn't," he pauses, "then your father did a bad job at raising you." "You know nothing of how I was raised," Garrett states before letting out a deep breath. He knew of the bad relationship between the two and knew nothing he said would change Jesse's mind. Plus his dad was the one who sent him to Hazzard, so Garrett wasn't in the mood to argue with Jesse. He knew he wouldn't win any how. Changing the topic, he says, "You call me un-sportsmanship. I raced that race fair and square. And what do I have to show for it? A wrecked car." "Well good. I'm proud of you for racing your race fair and square," Jesse states, "but you can't control how others race you or treat you. The only person you have control over is yourself and how you react. And right now you are acting like a toddler without a nap not getting that cherished toy the toddler would want. So, in a few minutes we will be walking into the Boar's Nest and YOU are going to walk over to Hobie. Shake his hand and meaningfully congratulate him. Understand?" "Yeah," Garrett sighs in resignation. (Sorry for the long post)

Garrett 🥂

Garrett turns around as Skipper approaches him and hears him out. He sets his half drank down and gives Skipper a high five. "No need to apologize, Skipper. It was just a race and you were just eager to win the race as everyone was. My car can and will be fixed in no time," he pauses to put down his empty glass from Cooter, "but I'll be glad to take you up on that drink and drink to a fun race."

Sorrell and Jimmy beat them all by a long shot !!

Skipper sees Garrett, and Uncle Jesse come in. He rushed over to them. "Hey Uncle Jesse. Garrett. Garrett, I'm sorry about cheating and wrecking your car. I want to buy you a beer to apologize to you. Please join me. Uncle Jesse, you too. No hard feelings about you stealing the Coconut Moonshine or disconnecting the Minnow trailer from my car."

Walking into the Boar's Nest with his head down, Garrett sighs and looks up and looks through the crowd before finding Hobie. He makes a slow and long thoughtful walk over to Hobie where he looks up and gives Hobie a confident smile and puts his hand out and says, "Congratulations Hobie on a great race." He surprises himself that he actually means and finds himself buying into Jesse's speech. "But next year, that trophy is coming back home with me." He gives him a smile before he walks over to Bo and Luke who congratulate him on a well raced race. Garrett only shrugs it off before before Jesse and everyone starts asking him if he finished second after Hobie. Garrett shrugs. He'd be ok with second. Just not with the wrecked race car. Taking a deep breath he slowly admits out loud, "I don't really know where I placed," he pauses, "I just knew I wasn't first." He shrugs again before Cooter hands him a beer and he slowly takes a long drink before slowly stating, "I apologize for how I acted and not celebrating with you all for the fun race."

I just noticed.....Sorrell and Jimmy don't get their due! Everybody knows the famous comedy duos of all time, e.g. Abott and Costello, Laurel and Hardy, etc. , but I think Sorrell and Jimmy are the all time best pair!

Well fellow Hazzardites....I know it's late but I'm here drinkin' Beer and watching the one where Uncle Silas made Jessie the executor of his will....remember? I'm almost done with season 7 and so then it'll be back to season 1 !! I'm on my 3rd 16 oz. ( I usually drink 12 oz. cans.) can of Bud Ice! I'll be back around to the beginning soon! What's been happening with everybody?.....WHERE is everybody?? It's Dukes Of Hazzard Day! Happy DOHD everybody!

Uncle Jesse 🥂

Jesse clears the room by yelling "Listen up everyone." In the corner there were still 3 people not complying. Jesse yelled even louder. "And you too you Beaudrys!" Pa, Milo and Sledge quieted down. "I just want to thank the best postmistress this here county has ever had". Rosco interrupted "She's the only one we ever had. They were all men before her. Khee, Khee!" Jesse looked at him with killer eyes and scared Rosco enough for him to recoil back in his seat nervously. Jesse continued "Even after seeing her dirt bike get burned to a crisp she still kept her cool and never got angry with me. And for that she deserves a big kiss" He leaned over and gave her a big sloppy kiss on her lips. At first the crowd was stunned into silence but then went wild. After the kiss Emma smiled from ear to ear and declared "Hobie might have won the race but I'm the real winner today. I know I always ask folks to take a number in the post office but today I'm number one!"

Absolutely! Those 2 are to The Dukes of Hazzard what Bob Denver and Alan Hale are to Gilligan's Island. 😀 What Andy Griffith and Don Knotts are to The Andy Griffith Show. 😀 You get the idea.

Hi Roger, They are basically production-made print overruns that were never needed for the show, so they stayed in storage all this time. The screen-used items would have come from the exact same print runs. In the 1980s, when it was an expensive process to set up a huge press for custom items, they always ran some extras just in case they were needed later. The set of 2 licenses is $250. I'm actually working for them directly now, and will be their archivist and online sales rep. We're setting up a website for collectors that will be separate from their production site for movie and TV jobs. I'll be handling all the vintage inventory and collector orders and requests, so they can focus on their current work.

This is interesting. Help me to understand this better. I've skimmed through a couple items and am wondering if all these things are prototypes. Have any of them actually aired on the show? The forerunner to the Abe Lincoln Hogg driver's license has caught my eye the most. Edit: Am I correct that it is a set of 2 so you get both of them for $250?
