Designing Women Reunion 2003 P4

[Music] people sometimes ask me what it was like being a man on this very female show and I tell them it was wonderful but you don't have to take my word for it all the men who appeared on this show walked away with a great experience and a couple of them walked away with a wife meshach I was the only woman who had a husband already and he came on the show so that was the start right Hal Holbrook on the show I didn't have to marry him to get him on the show so he was our first conquest when Linda asked me if I wanted to play the Dixie boyfriend on Designing Women III thought about it and I said no I don't think I do I just really don't think so and thank you and dah dah dah and then she came back to me later it said Hal we've got to cast this part do you really want someone else to be making love to your wife I said no I don't okay I'll do the part you know I was going to call you earlier tonight and just as a friend and suggest that you not wear those old boxer shorts of yours young girl find them very unsexy yeah well I'm not wearing my old boxer shorts if it's any of your business you're not now I got some new underwear that's right and it's good-looking too and I do think that that has a lot to do with the southern aspect of the show because you know in the south we don't believe in androgyny the men are men and the women are women and since the show came from a married couple from Harry and Linda who are great believers in steamy monogamy that sort of became the the Byward of the show that we had sexual relationships that were very romantic we never showed one-night stands the women when they had relationships they were always really intense and long live relationships and it wasn't just gonna be the next guy it was gonna be the right guy your JD Shackleford you have certainly got yourself a handful of woman tonight it was never a difficult dilemma for me having to play with with any pots on on state just JD and and then at the same time be falling madly in love and marrying Jane smart and lose control you are man and I again and I'll say [Laughter] [Music] with the first episode we've had even aired yet and I saw him up at the top of the stairs and I thought I like the way that guy looks he's got this great smile he's little crinkle there and and I thought he was tall I hope he's on our show gene said the first day if God is my tongue gene smart said okay cuz we were always sitting around a little you know after rehearsal before rehearsal she said okay everybody hands off man yes my don't a committee Richard come in okay are you married what's phone number you know just like that and I said no and so gene wants to know so I asked her you know fine average it's got a girlfriend if he's married so she knows trucks ever no I told it because I knew I was being kind of flirtatious everything I told him I said well you know every time there's a guest start one of us takes turns being assigned to that person to make them feel welcome and have one a joe mcclane came to places an x-factor who couldn't help loving the beautiful Delta Berg and he liked the road so much he decided to play it in real life I had taken one look at those blue eyes and just I was gone I was just doing do you ever wonder why we got married no I know why I wanted to be a writer and I felt that I hadn't suffered enough how do you feel now I feel that I have inspire me just stand-in there I mean I never believe for one second that I couldn't it I put my mind to it neither did I I remember I forgot my line yep I couldn't remember what I was supposed to say because he did it too good I got so girly and they you all were pretty good about it you didn't tease me too much but that one afternoon I got done early and I rode around the set on a bicycle over and over and you said you think you could ride that bicycle around long enough that Matt's gonna actually ask you out she could always know you on it yeah then after that he asked you out for a drink across the street over there order brothers and I went to and you'd excuse yourself to the bathroom like if she went to the bathroom and I leaned over the table and I said listen if you mess with her imma kill you and then I took him out I took him out there in the back lot where they had like the old towns and stuff yelling go back I did yeah and and I thought it'd be private little tour groups and I don't know what came over me but I did say cuz ahead it's incredible urge I said would you mind if you just laid on top of me for a moment you did not do that okay I just have to wrap my legs around you just for a minute remember what rope I'm here got scared and that was my favorite flower and he'd asked me out for a date of course just now done and the card was amazing that he sent and I I fell in love with them I mean that car was amazing he just now over shooting this at me white roses just said the same card which in Mississippi there is a section of the state studded with antebellum homes rich in both beauty and substance it is so fertile that if one simply cast seeds onto the soil they will sprout and flourish and bring new life and this enchanted place we call
