MaryAnne

"You really think sittin' up in the saddle is gonna be any more comfortable?" MaryAnne made no move to stop her horse or Red but did slow to a more comfortable walk. "Besides, I've been a deputy long enough to know atleast three or four tricks you could pull the minute I let you down off that saddle. You knock me cold, take off on your horse and probably take mine with ya, seeing your found of horse theivin'. Nope, you're stayin' like that until we're two miles out." (cue anybody)

>>Brian, you have wicked scene of humor. Who would want a car that would leave you stranded.<< You've never met Brian's car. My own car, which looks enough like KITT as it is and has it OWN way of back talkin' to me, would probably be fairly well behaved if self-automated. I think. Maybe. ROFL

Rosco and MaryAnne both turned when Chet hit the floor. The two law officers just looked at the pile of outlaw on the floor and both shook their heads. "That was bright," Rosco commented. "Damn fool's bleedin' all over my floor..." MaryAnne complained. She sighed and then turned to Rosco, Enos and Val. "Val, you can go with Enos if you like. Rosco, help me pick Chet up off the floor and we'll get this over with." Rosco nodded. The cell door was unlocked and first MaryAnne took Chet's bandanda and tied it around his head to keep him from bleeding to death. She then picked Chet up by the arms, while Rosco grabbed the young Duke's feet. The hauled him out of the jail house to where the horses are tied. It took a few minutes, but they managed to get the inert form slung over his horse. To keep the outlaw from sliding off, MaryAnne used Chet's own rope, looping it through his belt, a couple of times around the saddle horn and then tying it around his left arm, near the shoulder. The two then returned inside the jail house. MaryAnne's orders were quick and efficient. She told Rosco and Enos to go ahead and let Brian and Alex out of their cells. While they did that, she collected what was left of Chet's guns and whatnot and brought them outside, packing them into the outlaws saddle bags. Everything on Chet's horse, including him, was secured and MaryAnne grabbed hold of the reins, leading the horse closer to Phoenix so she could mount her ride. Rosco, Enos, Val, Brian and Alex were shuffling their way out of the jail house. MaryAnne mounted her Appaloosa and then sat in the saddle looking at everyone. "Rosco, Enos, Val...." She waved them closer. She then leaned down and whispered a course direction correction to them, along with some additional information. "Remember," she said, straightening up in the saddle again, "two miles and then you watch to make sure there's no doubling back." Rosco nodded. "Don't worry, MaryAnne." She nodded in return. "I'll see y'all back here later." MaryAnne nudged Phoenix's flanks and the Appaloosa backed up and then turned, heading down the street. The horse moved at a gentle gait, and Chet's tethered horse followed. She appeared to be heading west....but she turned Phoenix down another street and disappeared from sight of the jail house, her final destination, and direction, unknown to Brian and Alex who had been watching. (cue anyone!)

A lot of tv shows air the episodes in different order than the order in which they were produced. One of the big factors with this is "Sweeps" week. I believe with the second season, in the middle of the five eps that are missing Rosco, "Find Loretta Lynn" is in there. Rosco's there, and so is Daisy's yellow Plymouth. This episode aired during a "sweeps" week. I'd be willing to bet that subsequent seasons also had episodes aired in a different order than they were filmed, we just don't notice any obvious difference (like two different cars, ala Daisy and her Jeep/Plymouth). LOL

Now I never thought of that. LOL. Only because I always thought Enos was eating a hard boiled egg, but anyway... If it is a lemon he's eating he's been hanging on to it for awhile. The scene at Ace's lot at the end of the episode is supposed to be the next morning I believe. LOL Good catch tho'! 8)

Yes! Cully! Cully (walking into the Palomino toward Sonny): If yer still mad I can just leave and... Sonny: Aw shut up and sit down. Cully: Kinda early in the mornin' for that hard stuff ain't it? Sonny: I'm workin' out. I'm doing my left arm this morning (lifts glass), I'll get around to my right arm this afternoon. ROFL "You oughta drink more. Nothin' hurts when yer numb." -- Jocko. "Thank you very much! We'll be right back. Stick around, get drunk and be somebody! Thank ya..." -- Singer at the Palomino The fight scene at the Palomino is worth the price of admission. ROFL "Holy %*$@! A fight!!" -- Hammerhead. "It's a bird! It's a plane! It's Super Hooper!" -- Jocko (as Sonny goes flying over the upright piano) I better stop before I type all the dialog. ROFL Great film!

Apparently filming is scheduled to wrap sometime in February so we may see a trailer not long after that.... 8)

KEWL!!! Make sure ya report back to us on your experience with the filming!

I highly doubt Michael Snipe or whatever his name is of REM would want to be caught dead recording the theme from the Dukes of Hazzard. This is the same guy who considers the Beatles to be "elevator music." U2.... I've dug this band since the mid-80's but I can't see them doing the song either. Not exactly Bono's style. LOL Can't comment on Counting Crows. I think I only know one song by them and I don't know the title (Hard to Handle? Maybe this was done by the Black Crows? Gahh... LOL) Like Brian said before, WB is gonna use singers that are gonna sell the album (Kid Rock is a strong possibilty). And if Simpson is recording songs for the soundtrack.................... Anyway. ROFL However, I do agree that a very healthy dose of country music must be in this soundtrack. Preferrably a Waylon inspired type artist. For that I've got two words for ya: TRAVIS TRITT!! Ok, that's my two cents. LOL

You mean like this one... I happened to have this already in with the snaps I took for the episode guide here but I don't think I used this one (can't recall off hand). But anyway! Here ya go!

Waylon puts an alternate verse on the album version.. I'm a good ol' boy You know my momma loves me But she don't understand they keep showin' my hands and not my face on TV... ha ha! ROFL

Both patrol cars had the "Sheriff" decals on the fenders. I suppose they just had to remember where they parked....and I think Rosco's patrol car was often parked ahead of Enos's. LOL. JAmanda...welcome to HNet, but I gotta ask....is there more than one of you? Who's we???

MaryAnne could see the wound in Brian's shoulder, the darkened stain of the black material of his shirt. "Hang on cousin....hang on..." She gently took her hand away from Brian's pulse and immediately made a run for Diablo. Rosco, having secured Anderson with handcuffs, made the bounty hunter have a seat on the ground next to the patrol car. He saw MaryAnne head for Brian's Chevy so he went to the trunk of the Camaro to see for himself. Brian was unconcious but Rosco saw the slow, steady rise and fall of his cousin's chest. He was still alive.... Diablo came forward with a ready growl. MaryAnne put the car in park and stepped out of the car, coming around the front of it. "We don't have time to wait for an ambulance. Help me get him into Diablo...." She pulled the passenger door open and then turned to the trunk of the Camaro. Together, the two carefully lifted Brian out of the trunk of the Camaro. They then maneuvered to the passenger side of Diablo and the black clad cousin was placed in the car with care. "Okay," Rosco said as he closed the passenger door. "Git out of here. Go on!" MaryAnne was already half way around the front of the car. She jumped in the driver seat, put the car in gear and the Impala tore off down the road. (cue anyone!)

ROFL. I took the matchamker quiz and immediately on the first question I could see right through the test. I ended up being compatiable with Rosco. Imagine!! ROFLMAO!!! The trivia section needs more questions! But I scored 5 out of 5. LOL

Hi Sam! The first five episodes of the Dukes were filmed in and around Covington Georgia. The Duke farm was actually a Civil War era cabin that had been added on to as a house, the Boar's Nest was a real cinderblock roadhouse, the town square is downtown Covington, the city of Atlanta was really the city of Atlanta. LOL After that, filming moved to California. The town square was built on a backlot of WB, and the exterior shots (the Duke farm, some of the country roads, the Boar's Nest, ect...) were filmed in various CA towns that I can't recall at the moment. (I think Brian knows this. Cousin! Can ya help?) Eventually all the filming starting around the 2nd season would take place on what is/was known as the Disney Ranch (the dirt roads, bridges, ponds, the Duke farm, ect...). Apparently part of this land has since been developed and there are now condominiums or something built there now.

Khee! Thank ya! Gotta say seein' the avatars on folks names really brightens up the place.

BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHA!!!!! Now that's what I call art!! Val, however did you find that?! Folks, go look at the painting! KHEE!

Thank ya Cap'n! And yeah, we cause most of the screw ups around here but....at least we admit 'em when we do! KHEE! Seriously tho', ditto on what Brian and Mufn said. We appreciate y'all's patience during the move and we also thank you for your continued patronage and support. As Mufn said, she's working on some new things for '05 and I too am working on some new content and goodies for HNet visitors for '05 as well. 2005 is shaping up to be a big year with the second season DVD, the movie and CMT airing the Dukes. Plenty to keep us busy! Yeeehaaa!! MaryAnne

Way cool!! Obviously the avatar thingy works here at HNet. LOL. I ain't even had a chance to test it myself because I haven't had a chance to make an avatar and upload it to my own website to have it pull from. ROFL. Awrighty, I'm gonna go put an announcement post up in Announcements so folks know how it works. Thanks Bethie! =)

(I'll have more indepth accolades later, but for now, Dee, you've done a great job in this story. =) I took liberties with Fargo and Anderson, as I've had permission to write these characters from the start. Daney, I merely placed you in a position and I hope you don't mind the minor character control.) ---------- There was hardly any time to register what had taken place. Only that reaction had to be quick. Rosco had jumped out of Diablo when he realized MaryAnne was barreling through in Daney's car. He had hollared his warning and ran after the car in vain effort to stop what was about to happen but it was futile. He watched in horror as the gun in Fargo's hand discharged and Brian reeled from the bullet in his shoulder and fell into the open trunk of the Camaro. Enos, after he recovered from his fall over the hood of his patrol car, scrambled back to his feet as Fargo went diving out of the way of manic car. Enos didn't see that Brian had been hit, but did see the sparks in the black night as more bullets screamed in the direction of the trunk of the Camaro. Given the ferociousness of which the gunfire came, when it came to an abrupt stop, Enos could only guess that the gunman had run out of ammunition. Enos pulled his gun from his holster and started for the ditch Fargo had tumbled into. Hunter flew away from the scene and went several feet down the road before swinging around to come back. Rosco headed for the trunk of the Camaro. Anderson, rifle in hand, saw this and Enos heading for Fargo. He brought the rifle down to bear on Rosco first.... Rosco saw it and bolted to the end of the Camaro, hitting the ground just as shots skipped in the dirt behind him, dust illuminated by the Hunter's highbeams as the car returned to the scene. Rosco rolled around to the back tire of the Chevy and looked directly underneath the car to see where Anderson was standing. The man's feet took a few steps toward the back of the Camaro and then changed direction and he suddenly bolted in the direction of Enos's patrol car. MaryAnne brought Hunter to a skidding stop and jumped out of the car, pulling her gun from the holster. Hunter's highbeams cut a swath of light directly at Enos's patrol car and she saw Anderson running toward it. "Stop!" she yelled. A warning shot was fired. Daney scrambled out of her Plymouth and saw Rosco and MaryAnne headed toward Anderson. She looked and saw Enos had jumped down into the ditch and had one armed pulled behind Fargo's back, the bounty hunter face down in the dirt. His previous wounds were making their presense well known and the pain practically paralyzed him. Daney hurried over to help Enos. Anderson came to a short stop just at the fender of the white patrol car and turned back, bringing the rifle around to bear. Hunter's highbeams blinded him but he caught the movement of Rosco coming around the front of the Camaro and he fired a wild shot in the Sheriff's direction. MaryAnne answered by firing at Anderson, hitting the bounty hunter in his left arm, the force of the bullet knocking him over the hood of the patrol car. Rosco got there first and relieved Anderson of the rifle. He looked at MaryAnne as she came up beside him. "Brian was hit--" MaryAnne waited for no more and turned immiately, running back to the Camaro. She reached the trunk and pauses only a beat before reaching in to touch her cousin. "Brian? Brian, can you hear me??" Her fingers gently felt for a pulse... (cue Brian!)

No problem on posting the link to wherever your story is located. Or you can post the story here. Either way is fine!

Enos stood perfectly still and even had his hands out so that Fargo and Anderson could see where they were. Riddick? he wondered. What did they want with Riddick? Boy he wished he knew what the heck was going on!! Stall for time the Sheriff had said. Was he kidding? The dude holding the gun on Brian looked ready to pull the trigger if he got the wrong answer. And Brian had his hands bound behind his back and was essentially helpless. Enos took a deep breath. "Awright...." he said gently. "Look, I think we can work this out here... I ain't sure where Riddick is right now but I can probably find 'em...." As Enos was talking, MaryAnne had brought Hunter down the road. The Plymouth's headlights were off, as Rosco instructed but MaryAnne wasn't exactly prepared for what she was going to see. Hunter coasted and when MaryAnne saw Brian being held at gunpoint by Fargo, the deputy saw red. Suddenly she slammed the accelerator and Hunter's highbeams came on. The car blew past Rosco in Diablo and was aimed for Fargo and the back end of the Camaro. "What the--?? MaryAnne!! NO!!!" MaryAnne had a deathgrip on the steering wheel. Daney was beginning to having some serious reservations about having let MaryAnne drive the car.... Enos turned, seeing nothing but bright headlights and he jumped out of the way, landing on the hood of his patrol car. Hunter's engine roared as the car came barreling down on Fargo and Brian. (cue Fargo or Brian!! (hang on, Daney! ROFL))

MaryAnne had waited patiently while Chet rolled his cigarette and then when the outlaw's gaze met hers she hardly blinked. She wore an expression of stone, her eyes revealing nothing. If he wanted to keep his mouth shut, she didn't really care either way. Eventually she would get bored with the stare down and would continue on with the business of the day and ignore Chet until such time he decided to answer the question that had been posed to him. MaryAnne wasn't stupid and hadn't become a deputy just because she looked good holding a Colt .45. She was already pretty sure Chet hadn't hurt Val, as he hadn't hurt any of the other women involved in this fracas. But in fairness to Enos, MaryAnne had to put the question out. And Chet had a lot more riding on the answer than even he realized. Finally, when the answer came, and in the form of a question no less, MaryAnne merely snorted. "Just checkin'..." she said. She turned to Enos. "You don't have to worry about Val, she's fine Enos. In the meantime, our three outlaws here are leaving town this morning, by escort. You'll be escorting Alex there...." MaryAnne pointed to the blonde drifter. "Rosco will be escorting Brian, and I'm gonna escort Mr. Charming over here." She jerked a thumb back to the cell that held Chet. "Alex goes east, Brian goes north and Chet here will be going west. The escort is to go at least two miles and from there our outlaws continue on and the three of us should keep watch until they're long gone from sight." MaryAnne looked back and forth between Rosco and Enos. "Any questions?" (cue Enos or anyone)

Those type jugs were never used on the show, as far as I know. They always used the glass jugs. That photo of Boss and Rosco was strictly a publicity shot. There's another version of it that I've seen in black n' white.

Enos had already slowed the patrol car down when Fargo had brought the Camaro to a screeching halt. Seeing Fargo jump out, however, sent up every red flag and alarm with the police training Enos had had. The patrol car came to a stop. Several feet behind him, Rosco brought Diablo to a quick stop and killed the headlights, the Chevy becoming cloaked within the darkness. He could see in the headlights from the patrol car that Fargo had popped open the trunk of the Camaro and Brian was being held like a prize buck, the gun unmistakable in Fargo's grip. There was a tense moment, as Enos remained in the cruiser, afraid if he stepped out that Fargo would pull the trigger. Carefully, he picked up his radio mike. "Sheriff? That's Brian in that trunk.....would you please tell me what's going on?" "There's no time, Enos. Listen to me....I'm not that far behind you...." Enos glanced in the rearview. "I can't see you..." "You're not supposed to. Step out of the patrol car, Enos....careful. Let 'em see ya, talk to 'em...stall for time, okay?" "Okay, Sheriff....you say so...." Enos put the mike down and slowly opened the door. He stepped out of the car and kept his hands in plain view for Fargo to see. Rosco was still on the CB. "MaryAnne, you hear any of that." "Yes! What in the hell is going on?!" "We've got trouble. Big trouble. Git your postieror up here, but kill your lights just before you get here." "That didn't answer my question! What the hell is going on?" "Our hostage situation just took a turn for the worst." MaryAnne tossed Hunter's CB mike down. "Dammit!" Daney flinched at the outburst. Enos meanwhile, stepped a few steps away from his patrol car. "Okay," he said. "Just take it easy....I was only pulling you over because you had a busted taillight...." (cue Fargo/Anderson)
