I figured there's some way to open an estate. After all, if someone
wants to exhume an ancient corpse to prove some criminal or
anthropoligical theory, it's possible to open an estate to find someone
to grant permission.

The whole thing is a scam so I figured someone found a way to put the
law to use in such a nefarious way.

Perhaps you're right.

Frank sounded even more aged than his father in this ep.

Endlessly, I think. Lincoln and Washington will be selling cars next
month.

In the new movie DON'T LOOK UP, Meryl Streep plays the president and they
decorated the Oval Office with pictures of her with various celebrities and
politicians-- Steven Seagal, Bill Clinton, etc. They're obviously pictures
of her as herself, taken at various parties and awards ceremonies. But did
the people she was with in the pics get paid?

He's a Texas Ranger.

My error. I misheard the dialogue, then. US Marshal didn't make sense.

He sure seemed to have a lot of knowledge of their Mexican operations.

He was in charge of failing to stop them.

No, but the photographer may well have.

Yeah, and it wasn't "early badass Seagal", either. It was old, hippo-sized
lardass Seagal". It was supposed to be a joke, to make Streep's character
look ridiculous.

Ah.
If I want Streep to look ridiculous I’ll just read some of her interviews.

Speaking of which, never read anything the star of Man-Delorean says off
screen.

He played some kind of agent in "Castle" too.

Thanks. I *knew* I remembered him in a similar
role but couldn't place it (and didn't want
to cheat...)
