On this note, if Bret's word is bond and Earl really did swear not to screw Bret on the lives of his children, then Earl is a piece of dog shit. Earl really wasn't in on the plan until right before bell time. And it was either screw Bret, or those children he swore on don't get fed, a month before Christmas no less. Don't get me wrong, Earl has sucked for years, but he really didn't have a whole lot of options here. Nobody made him swear on the lives of his kids. He could've sworn on literally anything else. "Hey Bret, I swear on my yambag that I won't call a different finish." "Seriously Bret, I swear on my wife's tits that I won't screw you." "Bret, if I screw you then this delicious Subway sandwich has meant nothing to me." Okay, so maybe that last one carries less weight but you get the idea, the concept of swearing on someone's life rubs me the wrong way, especially in a context like this where, as you said, Earl really didn't have much by way of options.

Or just be like "hey, I won't screw you Bret" and then when it happens go "oh, right, whoops. Sorry about that buddy." Bret would understand.

It'd be weird if Earl didn't go through with the screw job and his kids starved to death because the Hebners didn't have money to eat because Earl got fired. He'd be the first guy to have his kids died because he swore on their lives but still lost them because he was a man of his word. Also, Earl Hebner and Vince Russo should have a podcast called "I Swear on My Kids!"

Granted, while in the heat of the moment it probably would've been hard to really think the ramifications of that all the way through, had he not complied and been fired for it he'd have had excellent grounds for a lawsuit.
