...they show that they are taking strong measures to conserve. By significantly reducing demand, the big buyers of oil might force OPEC into production cuts that some cartel members may eventually find intolerable.

They also create a sequence hi which Burns visits Hildy's fiancee (played with popeyed persistence by Susan Sarandon) and passes himself off as Johnson's probation officer. This kicks off a scene of lengthy anxiety about Hildy's fearful (but imaginary) crime, which turns out to be flashing...
