Yes, that actually is an old meaning for "jerk": someone who allows himself to be taken advantage of.
"Yes I'm here, what do you want me to do? I can't see the slate..." Words of announcer beforehand. This is take three. I just watched "Scarlet Street" again, and I cannot imagine Liz saying, "Jeepers I love you, Johnny!" Are they making a special stop at Collinsport for Victoria and Burke? The biddy (I don't intend to be disrespectful; I think she was hired to be a "biddy") said the train hasn't stopped at Collinsport in five years. Wait, five years?! But then, I'm getting ahead of myself....
The biddy was a regular on the short-lived "Phyllis" TV series starring Cloris Leachman, an MTM spinoff. She tended to say off-color things one wouldn't expect to come from the mouth of a biddy, hence the comedy.
Sorry Lydia, while I was bored by VW as a child, now she strikes me as a very grounded and intelligent character. It seemed completely natural to me to feel Burke out by volunteering information and seeing how he responded, but then a lot of people over the years have probably thought that I'm too open with people.
I was going to say, not that much fun to be found in churches, but then again, Bramwell and Catherine had a nice experience at one. By the way, where's Bramwell, and what happened to all the color?
