Plot
Years ago, Jack Carter left his Seattle home to become a Las Vegas mob casino financial enforcer. He returns for the funeral of his brother Richard 'Richie' after a car crash during a storm, atypical of the careful house-father. Talking to the widow, daughter Doreen and enigmatic Geraldine, Jack suspects it was murder. Cliff Brumby, whose club Richie ran, is financially linked to porn and prostitution baron Cyrus Paice, who claims to be just a front-man for ITC tycoon Jeremy Kinnear. Someone hired goon Thorpey to make Jack return to Las Vegas. There Jack's partner Les Fletcher is restless, apparently about their boss Con McCarty whose wife had an affair with Jack. Someone breaks into Richie's home, looking for a crucial CD.

The Truth Hurts
Gloria Carter: [to Jack] What do you think you're gonna do? Come in here and fix things? You don't fix things, Jack. You break things. Remember?
Con McCarty: [to Jack] Say, Jack, when I said, "You take care of the business or the business will take care of you," did we have a bad connection on the cell, or maybe you weren't listening...
Doreen Carter: Have you ever been to prison? [Jack doesn't respond] For how long?::Jack Carter: How about this weather?
[first lines]::Jack Carter: Hello, Mr. Davis. My name is Jack Carter, and you don't want to know me.
Jack Carter: You should finish what you start.::Cyrus Paice: Yeah, shit I think you should fix your tie there.
Bouncer: Sorry Mr. Carter, you're not on the list. [Jack punches him]::Jack Carter: Nobody likes the list guy.
Cyrus Paice: [to Jack] Now if you want to do this little dance here for old times sake, Jack, bring it. You're gonna end up like a one-legged man in an ass-kicking contest.
Jeremy Kinnear: [on the phone] Damn right that I'm freaking out. I'm a fucking Harvard graduate, I do not do porn!
Jack Carter: You drink coffee?::Doreen Carter: Yeah... I smoke too.::Jack Carter: I don't know if that's worth bragging about, do you?::Doreen Carter: Oh? You smoke.::Jack Carter: Well I did, but I just recently quit...::Doreen Carter: Oh, yeah? When?::Jack Carter: Oh, I'd say about... now. So if you don't mind...?

Plot
Set in Genoa City, Wisconsin, The Young And The Restless is the thirty-year-old soap that centres on the saga between two wealthy families (the Newmans and the Abbotts) in the cosmetics industry. Head of the Newman clan is Victor Newman, the arrogant, cavorting billionaire and his wife Nikki; and running the Abbott show is Jack Abbott, the irresponsible, playboy CEO and his sister Ashley. Most of the show is centred on the competition between the two companies: Victor's Newman Enterprises and the Abbotts' Jabot.

But don't worry, I'm sure he'll hire whoever writes those flyers for the strip club. It'll be, like, the raunchiest vows ever, and I'm sure the minister will probably pass out.

Plot
In the 8th film of the 22-film series, Texas Rangers Tex Wyatt, Jim Steele and Panhandle Perkins are sent to the district of Rawhide to investigate the killings of several ranchers. Tex enters the town posing as a tramp while the other two Rangers join a troupe of itinerant minstrels. Tex, convinced that while they may find the killer, it will not prevent further harassment of the poorer ranchers, and he returns to the Ranger station and persuades his father, Texas Ranger Captain John Wyatt, to take a leave of absence and go to Rawhide and run for Land Commissioner. Tex and his father meet Henry Colby, the wealthiest landholder in the district, who has been advised by his ranch foreman, Frank Hade, and Sam Barrett, the boss of Rawhide, that the nesters are the cause of all the lawlessness. At a meeting, preceded by the dullest, most demeaning minstrel show ever filmed, Captain Wyatt is shot (a fate that should have befallen the minstrels) and the bullet is found to be the same caliber as that used in the earlier killings, although Wyatt is only wounded. Mary Colby, riding the range, sees Barrett attempt to kill Tex using a rifle. Realizing he has been identified, Barrett hurries back to town where he meets the other gang members, and they prepare to fight against the Rangers.
