That's a cool moment - but it's hard to cap because it's so quick. McCormick reaches forward the slightest bit, and the Judge withdraws. The angle is weird, but here's a shot: H: Ok, I guess this is going to be it. M: Yep. So, you're alright? H: Yeah. Need anything? M: Nope...Well, a hundred bucks... H: Top drawer of my desk, there's a envelope with your name on it. M: Aw, Judge (reaching forward for a hug). H: TAKE CARE OF THE HOUSE! No Parties. (Guess Milt always has to include the "No Parties" bit for Mc...ever since "You Would Cry Too.."!!) I'd kinda forgotten about that touching farewell. It's a hoot. Kinda makes you wonder if the the judge had been expecting Mark to find the cash on his own. It's almost like he's avoiding doing something nice--God forbid, might bring on a hug. And then he's fuly prepared to ward off 'thanks you's of any type with a cranky admonition.

Of course, he has to leave the envelope hidden in the desk or the kid'll be grateful to him, for cryin' out loud. He was probably going to call and leave a message about the money at the first whistle stop to avoid any hint of sentiment or niceness. Get offa me, you idiot!

I just wanted to make sure somebody was there to see the wind didn't blow my tracks out of the sand.

OMG! I am rolling on the floor at work. You have captured it perfectly! The Judge drives me crazy. He'll go and tug on McCormick's chin in RT...He'll do the "cheek bops" in "Do Not Go Gentle..." But, he's so closed at times that matter the most: He doesn't lean down & touch McCormick when the kid gets shot in "You Don't Hear The One That Gets You." - and no one else is around. (You'd think he'd check a pulse or something. I guess he saw his chest move, and that was enough!) He doesn't touch him in "If You Could See...", either. He doesn't have to get all mushy, but you know he cares about the kid.

And, oh, I forgot: "Ride this in good health, kiddo, and always wear a helmet. Merry Christmas! Love, Santa." (From "Hate the Picture...") - If the Judge can write that...he can allow the kid a hug! What gives?
