Dallas (1978–1991): Season 1, Episode 3 - Spy in the House - full transcript

J.R.! NO, J.R.!

J.R., WE DON'T MAKE
LOVE ANYMORE.

I DON'T WANNA GO
TO BED WITH MY WIFE.

THEN WHY'D YOU MARRY HER?

YOU'RE THE ONLY ONE
THAT EVER TURNED ME ON.

CLIFF BARNES CAUSING
YOU ANY PROBLEMS?

NO, HE'S JUST POKIN' AROUND.

WHAT CAN HE FIND?

CLIFF BARNES IS HOLDING
A NEWS CONFERENCE...

RIGHT NOW.

GOT A DOCUMENT IN HIS HANDS,



A COPY OF ORLOFF'S
SECOND TRUST DEED.

THERE'S A SPY IN THE HOUSE.

CAPTIONING MADE
POSSIBLE BY WARNER BROS.

[HAMMERING,
DRILLING, AND SAWING]

HERE YOU GO, HON.

HOW CAN YOU THINK IN THERE?

OH, I CAN THINK IN THERE.

I JUST CAN'T HEAR
WHAT I'M THINKING.

THAT'S ALL.

CAN'T ALL THIS WAIT?

NO. FOR A CHANGE,
I'M DOING SOMETHING

THAT HAS TO BE DONE.

HERE.

[HAMMERING]



[SAWING, DRILLING CONTINUE]

JULIE.

GOING OUT FOR LUNCH?

SHOPPING.

GONNA BRING SOMETHING IN?

UH-HUH.

AND FOR YOU?

WELL, I THINK I'LL HAVE A...

ROAST BEEF ON RYE.

DULL, HUH?

MMM. NOT DULL. PREDICTABLE.

WELL, THAT'S ME,
AS YOU WELL KNOW.

UNLESS, OF COURSE,
YOU'VE FORGOTTEN?

WELL.

[HAMMERING, SAWING,
DRILLING CONTINUES]

THAT TEARS IT.

I'M GONNA FINISH THIS
TALLY AT HOME, J.R.

BOBBY, THOSE RED FILES

REALLY OUGHT TO
STAY HERE IN THE OFFICE.

COME ON, J.R., GIVE
ME AN ALTERNATIVE.

DADDY NEEDS THIS TALLY TONIGHT,

AND I CANNOT
WORK IN THAT OFFICE.

OK. BE CAREFUL.

I'LL SEE YOU AT HOME.

GOOD NIGHT, CONNIE.

I'LL RIDE DOWN WITH YOU, BOBBY.

Bobby: ALL RIGHTY.

THAT'S ON RYE.

MUSTARD AND MAYONNAISE.

THAT'S RIGHT.

IT'S GONNA BE NICE

WHEN IT'S FINISHED, THOUGH.

YEAH.

HOW DO YOU LIKE
BEING IN OFF THE ROAD?

OH, I LIKE IT FINE

AS SOON AS THEY STOP
FIXING EVERYTHING.

J.R. THINKS YOU'RE
GONNA FEEL TIED DOWN.

NO, J.R. HOPES I'M
GONNA FEEL TIED DOWN,

BUT RIGHT NOW,

EVERYTHING'S JUST
THE WAY I WANT IT.

I LIKE THE OFFICE. I LIKE...

AND HOW ABOUT BEING MARRIED?

AND THAT BEST OF ALL.

YOU KNOW, IT PROBABLY
WOULD HAVE BEEN

A LOT EASIER ON PAMMY

IF J.R.'D MARRIED YOU INSTEAD.

WELL... THAT WASN'T
EXACTLY MY DECISION.

OH, HEY, LOOK,
I'M SORRY. I JUST...

IT'S OK, BOBBY.

THAT'S ANCIENT HISTORY.

WATER UNDER THE BRIDGE?

WHATEVER.

YOU TAKE CARE, HEAR?

YOU, TOO. BYE-BYE.

BYE.

[HORN HONKS]

CLIFF BARNES.

WE'VE GOT TO STOP
MEETING LIKE THIS.

HEY, YOU'RE THE
ENEMY, MR. SPIDER.

WE SHOULDN'T BE SEEN TOGETHER.

THAT'S WHAT MAKES IT EXCITING.

FOR YOU, MAYBE.

I'VE TOLD YOU BEFORE
THAT AFTER 6:00,

MR. SPIDER TURNS INTO A PRINCE.

TOO BAD I'LL NEVER SEE
THE TRANSFORMATION.

BUT YOU CAN IF YOU
HAVE DINNER WITH ME.

OH, YEAH? 2 DRINKS,
AND YOU'LL BE PRYING

ALL THE EWING SECRETS OUT OF ME.

THINK OF THE FUN THAT'D BE.

HA! YOU PRYING, ME HOLDING ON?

SURE. TILL I FIND
YOUR WEAK SPOT.

MMM, AND I WHISPER
IN YOUR EAR...

NAMES, DATES, PLACES.

AREN'T YOU GETTING TIRED
OF THESE DISCUSSIONS?

YEAH.

SO PUT AN END TO IT.

YOU'VE GOT THE POWER.

WE'RE ON OPPOSITE SIDES.

WELL, THAT SHOULDN'T STOP US
FROM BEING DINNER PARTNERS.

BUT IT DOES.

WELL...

THINK ABOUT THIS...

AND IF YOU CHANGE YOUR MIND...

PICK UP YOUR SHIRTS?

YEAH. [LAUGHS]

NO, NO.

THAT'S MY NEW
NUMBER. IT'S UNLISTED.

IT'D BE NICE.

I BELIEVE IT WOULD,
CLIFF BARNES, BUT...

GOTTA GO.

WELL, IT COULD BE THAT,

UH, YOU'RE UNDERESTIMATING
CLIFF BARNES.

NO. HE'S JUST A
NUISANCE, JOCK, THAT'S ALL.

WE'VE SEEN 100 LIKE
HIM COME AND GO.

I LIKE TO HEAR THAT.

YOU KNOW HOW MUCH
WE DEPEND UPON YOU

AND THE LEGISLATURE.

UH-OH.

GIN, MY FRIEND.

HOW ABOUT A DRINK?

NO, IT'S TOO EARLY FOR ME.

IT AIN'T EVER TOO
EARLY FOR YOU, BILL.

ALL RIGHT. GIVE ME
A LITTLE BOURBON.

STILL DRINK IT STRAIGHT?

YEAH, THAT'S RIGHT.

THAT'S MY MAN.

FINE BOURBON, TOO.

THANK YOU.

YOU KNOW, I THINK CLIFF BARNES

IS A LITTLE DIFFERENT
FROM THE REST.

HE, UH...

IT'S A PERSONAL THING
WITH HIM AGAINST US EWINGS.

ONCE HE GETS HIS
TEETH INTO SOMETHING,

THEN HE HANGS ON LIKE A BULLDOG.

YEAH, I KNOW WHAT YOU MEAN.

WELL, THOSE INVESTIGATORS

FROM HIS COMMITTEE, UH,

HAD A CUP OF COFFEE
WITH MY SECRETARY.

A CUP OF COFFEE, MIND YOU. HEH.

NOT EVEN A DRINK.

FINALLY GOT AROUND TO ASKING HER

HOW COME THE SENATOR

HAS SEATS ON THE 50-YARD LINE

FOR ALL THOSE COWBOY GAMES.

I GUESS THEY HEARD
ABOUT THOSE BOX SEATS

YOU GET EVERY YEAR.

WELL, LILLIAN... I'LL
TELL YOU SOMETHING.

SHE'S SMART AS A WHIP. SHE SAID,

"THE SENATOR IS
A LITTLE BIT OLDER

"THAN THAT STADIUM, YOU SEE?

"HE WAS PROBABLY SITTIN' THERE

"WHEN THEY BUILT THE PLACE.

THEY DIDN'T HAVE THE
HEART TO MOVE HIM."

THAT'S FUNNY.

JOCK, I THOUGHT WHEN...

YOUR BOBBY MARRIED
THAT BARNES GIRL...

HA HA. NO CHANCE.

HE PROBABLY SEES THAT
AS ANOTHER EWING ATROCITY.

INCIDENTALLY, BILL...

CLIFF BARNES CAUSING
YOU ANY PROBLEMS?

NO, HE'S JUST POKING AROUND.

WHAT CAN HE FIND?

EVERYTHING BETWEEN YOU AND ME

HAS BEEN DONE WITH
A HANDSHAKE, ANYWAY.

I'LL DRINK TO THAT.

DEAL 'EM OUT.

I'M JUST AS LOYAL AS
EVER, JOCK, ON EVERY VOTE.

IT AIN'T THE VOTIN', BILL.

USED TO BE WE COULD COUNT ON YOU

TO KEEP THINGS
BOTTLED UP FOREVER.

YOU USED YOUR MUSCLE FOR US.

[KNOCK ON DOOR]

COME IN.

HI, DADDY.

HEY, YOU'RE HOME EARLY.

YEAH, THE CARPENTER'S
MAKING A MESS.

SENATOR, HOW GOOD TO SEE YOU.

BOBBY, GOOD TO SEE YOU.

THANK YOU. I MET YOUR BRIDE.

SHE'S A PRETTY THING.

YES, SHE IS. THANK
YOU VERY MUCH.

HEY, EXCUSE US A
MINUTE, WILL YOU, BILL?

FIX YOURSELF ANOTHER DRINK.

YOU CHECK ON HIS FILES?

I GOT IT ALL RIGHT HERE.

WELL, MAKE SURE
YOU GET EVERYTHING,

YOU HEAR?

IS IT THAT BAD?

WELL, HE GAVE ME SOME
BIG COCK-AND-BULL STORY

ABOUT A PAIR OF
LOUSY SEASON TICKETS.

YOU KNOW HE'S SCARED
TO DEATH OF CLIFF BARNES.

DADDY, IF HE'S SCARED,
WHY CALL IN HIS MARKERS?

IS THAT WHAT YOU
THINK OF ME, BOY?

WHAT?

I WANT TO HELP THE POOR SLOB.

GIVE HIM BACK THE DAMN MARKERS.

SORRY. SOME OF 'EM
ARE GONNA BE TRICKY.

ALL WE HAVE TO DO IS
KEEP THIS UNDER HAT.

HE'LL BE OK, AND... WE'LL BE OK.

HEY.

YOU'VE BEEN READING
FOR OVER 2 HOURS.

YOU WANTED AN
EXECUTIVE FOR A HUSBAND.

MOST EXECUTIVES TAKE A BREAK.

WHAT KIND OF BREAK?

REST AND RECREATION.

AREN'T YOU SUPPOSED TO
PICK LUCY UP AT SCHOOL?

MOM IS TODAY.

WELL, WHEN DO I GET
TO SEE MY NEW HOUSE?

HOW ABOUT NOW? TRY IT OUT?

SUE ELLEN...

WHERE ARE MY POT HOLDERS?

I'M MISSING A PACKAGE.

WELL, WHICH ONE?

WAIT JUST A MINUTE.

I BOUGHT A GIFT FOR SOMEBODY,

AND I CAN'T... IS IT THIS ONE?

NO, OH, WAIT A
MINUTE. HERE IT IS.

I THINK THAT'S IT.
THAT'S IT. THANK YOU.

HEY, UNCLE BOBBY.

I'M GONNA GET THE
TRUANT OFFICER AFTER YOU.

I BROUGHT MY WORK
HOME WITH ME, SHORTCAKE.

THIS IS JUST A BREAK.

TO LOOK AT THE LITTLE HOUSE.

WHY DON'T YOU SHOW
ME THE LITTLE HOUSE?

THAT WAY UNCLE BOBBY
CAN GET BACK TO WORK.

IT WOULDN'T BE THE SAME.

I DIDN'T THINK SO.

PAMELA, HOW'S THE
REDECORATING COMING?

Pamela: SLOWLY, MISS ELLIE.

WE'RE GOING NOW TO TAKE A LOOK.

HOW ARE YOU DOING, SUE ELLEN?

FINE, THANK YOU, BOBBY.

WELL, IF YOU NEED ANY HELP,

DON'T BE SHY ABOUT ASKING.

I SURE WON'T.

I KNOW YOU'LL DO A LOVELY JOB.

YOU NEED SOME HELP
WITH THOSE, SUE ELLEN?

NO, THANK YOU, LUCY.

SUE ELLEN,

HOW COME J.R. NEVER
COMES HOME FOR LUNCH

LIKE BOBBY DOES?

J.R.'s WORK IS MORE DEMANDING.

SURE.

HI, HONEY. HI.

HI, WHAT A NICE SURPRISE.

WELL, YOU'D THINK
THOSE CARPENTERS

ARE BUILDING A HOUSE FOR BOBBY

INSTEAD OF A BUNCH
OF LOUSY SHELVES.

WELL, I'M ON THE
CARPENTERS' SIDE.

IT GOT YOU HOME EARLY.

YEAH.

HOW... HOW WAS YOUR DAY?

I JUST TOLD YOU.

LOOKIT HERE.

OH, RIGHT. THE CARPENTERS.

YEAH. MY DAY WAS NICE, TOO.

WAS IT?

DID A LITTLE SHOPPING
WITH MISS ELLIE.

HMM.

WELL.

I DON'T KNOW WHAT CAME OVER ME.

I JUST THOUGHT I NEEDED
A LITTLE SOMETHING

TO CHANGE MY IMAGE.

WELL, THAT'S SURE ENOUGH
GONNA CHANGE YOUR IMAGE.

THAT'S NOT YOU.

WELL... WELL, I KNOW, BUT, UH...

I JUST THOUGHT

I'D PUT IT ON FOR YOU TONIGHT.

WELL, I'D TAKE IT YOU'VE
CHANGED YOUR MIND.

WELL... WELL, NO, I...

WELL, I SUPPOSE I HAVE.

I'LL TAKE IT BACK TO
THE DEPARTMENT STORE

IN THE MORNING.

GOOD IDEA. GONNA TAKE A SHOWER.

J.R.? HUH?

J.R., CAN YOU COME
HERE A MINUTE?

WHAT'S THAT?

I SAID CAN YOU
COME HERE A MINUTE?

SURE, HONEY, WHAT IS IT?

UM, I WAS JUST WONDERING
IF YOU COULD, UM,

POSTPONE YOUR SHOWER
FOR A FEW MINUTES.

I'M ALL SWEATY.

WELL, I KNOW THAT, BUT, UM...

YOU KNOW I LIKE
YOU ANY WAY AT ALL.

EVEN SWEATY.

WHAT'S GOTTEN INTO YOU?

YOU'RE NOT ACTING
LIKE A LADY AT ALL.

WELL, I THINK
THAT'S JUST EXACTLY

WHAT I'M ACTING LIKE.

WELL, NOT THE LADY I MARRIED.

PUT SOME CLOTHES ON, HUH?

J.R.?

WHAT IS IT?

J.R., WE ARE MARRIED.

AND SOMETIMES I THINK
YOU FORGET ABOUT THAT.

YOU KNOW, I DON'T FIND THIS

VERY APPEALING AT
ALL. I FIND IT CHEAP.

CHEAP?!

YOU'VE BEEN HANGING OUT
WITH THAT SISTER-IN-LAW OF OURS,

AND I'M NOT GONNA
HAVE ANY MORE OF THAT.

I'M NOT GONNA HAVE IT.

WELL, THIS HAS NOTHING
TO DO WITH PAMELA.

I DIDN'T COME HOME
EARLY TO FIGHT!

WELL, I DON'T WANT
TO FIGHT EITHER.

J.R.! NO, J.R.!

J.R., WE HAVE GOT TO TALK.

J.R., WE DON'T MAKE
LOVE ANYMORE.

THAT TEARS IT. J.R.!

WE HAVEN'T TALKED
LIKE THIS IN MONTHS.

I MISS IT.

TALKING MAKE YOU FEEL BETTER?

YEAH.

YOU KNOW WHAT I THINK?

WHAT?

I THINK YOU SHOULD
HAVE ANOTHER SHORT ONE,

GO HOME, GET IN
BED WITH YOUR WIFE.

I DON'T WANNA GO
TO BED WITH MY WIFE.

THEN WHY'D YOU MARRY HER?

NOW, JULIE,

WE'VE BEEN THROUGH
ALL THIS BEFORE.

MAYBE IF YOU THINK
BACK ON... WHO SHE WAS.

MISS TEXAS... PRETTIEST
GIRL IN THE STATE.

A CREDIT TO YOU AND YOUR FAMILY.

WHAT ARE YOU TRYING TO DO?

YOU'RE THE ONLY ONE
THAT EVER TURNED ME ON.

YOU'RE THE ONLY ONE
WHO EVER KNEW HOW.

YOU TAUGHT ME HOW.

YOU TOLD ME WHAT YOU LIKED.

WHY DON'T YOU TEACH SUE ELLEN?

WHY DON'T YOU TELL HER?

I DON'T WANT TO TALK
ABOUT SUE ELLEN ANYMORE.

WHAT DO YOU WANT TO TALK ABOUT?

J.R., IT'S NO GOOD
LIKE THIS ANYMORE,

NOT IN THIS WAY.

YOU STILL LOVE ME... THIS WAY?

I LOVED YOU BEFORE SUE ELLEN.

I KNEW YOU'D NEVER MARRY ME.

BUT I ACCEPTED THE
WAY THINGS WERE.

ALL THESE YEARS YOU'VE
BEEN COMING HERE,

AND I LET YOU.

BUT IN THE MORNINGS...

IN THE MORNINGS, J.R...

YOU'RE THE ONLY WOMAN
I COULD EVER TALK TO,

I COULD EVER COUNT ON.

J.R., EVERY MORNING I
HAVE BREAKFAST ALONE.

BUT YOU DO LOVE ME.

J.R., PLEASE. LET ME MOVE ON.

LET ME MOVE ON!

I NEED YOU NOW, JULIE.

J.R., PLEASE.

I NEED YOU RIGHT NOW.

WHEN WAS YOUR BIRTHDAY?

DAY BEFORE YESTERDAY.

AW, DAMN.

I FORGOT IT.

DOESN'T MATTER.

YES, IT DOES.

NO, IT DOESN'T.

STAY UNTIL MORNING?

I'LL COOK YOU BREAKFAST.

I CAN'T.

YOU GO OUT AND BUY
YOURSELF SOMETHING REAL NICE.

[TELEPHONE RINGS]

[RING]

HELLO?

JULIE?

WELL, WHAT A PLEASANT SURPRISE.

YEAH.

ABOUT THAT DINNER?

YEAH, WITH ME PRYING
AND YOU HOLDING ON.

YEAH.

WE'RE ON?

NOT ONLY ARE WE ON, I'M BUYING.

COFFEE READY YET, CONNIE?

YES. WOULD YOU LIKE SOME HELP?

NO, THANKS.

I'VE BEEN DOING THIS
BY MYSELF FOR YEARS.

J.R.: NOW WHAT IS
ORLOFF SO SCARED ABOUT?

Jock: HE'S SCARED
BECAUSE HE'S GETTIN' SOFT.

WELL, THERE'S
NOTHING ON THAT LIST

THAT CAN BE TRACED BACK TO US.

WE ARE WELL COVERED THERE.

WAIT A MINUTE. THERE
MIGHT BE SOMETHING.

WE HOLD A SECOND TRUST
DEED TO ORLOFF'S HOUSE.

$50,000... NO PAYMENTS
RECEIVED OR EVEN ASKED FOR.

WELL, NO PROBLEM.

IT'S ALL LEGAL, JUST UNRECORDED.

THERE'S ONLY ONE
COPY OF THAT NOTE,

AND WE'VE GOT IT.

WELL, LET'S SEE IT.

UH, I THINK I LEFT IT AT HOME.

NOW, THAT'S WHAT I WAS
TALKING ABOUT, BOBBY.

WE CAN'T AFFORD
TO HAVE THOSE FILES

LEAVE THIS OFFICE.

WELL, I'LL JUST CALL PAMMY,
AND THAT'LL TAKE CARE OF IT.

DAMN. I TOLD HIM A DOZEN TIMES

NOT TO TAKE THOSE
FILES OUT OF THERE.

I DON'T KNOW WHAT'S
THE MATTER WITH HIM.

WELL, ORLOFF NEEDS
A LITTLE REMINDING

WHO HIS FRIENDS ARE...

A LITTLE ARM-TWISTIN'.

WILD BILL DID ME A FEW
FAVORS YEARS BACK

WHEN WE WERE HAWKIN' OUR LEASES

ON THE STREET CORNERS.

I NEVER FORGET
MY FRIENDS, JUNIOR.

NEVER.

[RING]

HELLO.

Bobby: OH, HI, HON.

HI, SWEETIE.

SAY, I THINK I LEFT
A FILE AT HOME.

YOU DID? DO YOU KNOW WHERE?

THE ONLY PLACE I HAD
IT WAS ON THE SOFA.

IT MIGHT HAVE SLIPPED
UNDER SOMETHING.

IT'S A FOLDER, AND
IT'S MARKED "ORLOFF."

IT'S A SECOND TRUST DEED.

ORLOFF. OK, HOLD ON A MINUTE.

OH.

WILLIAM ORLOFF.

OK, I FOUND IT.

OK, GREAT.

CAN YOU DROP IT
OFF AT THE OFFICE

ON THE WAY TO YOUR BROTHER'S?

SURE.

I LOVE YOU. I LOVE YOU.

BYE-BYE.

[HORNS HONKING]

HI, PAM.

IS THAT THE ORLOFF FILE?

OH, YES, IT IS.

HOW ARE YOU, JULIE?

OK.

YOU WANNA SEE BOBBY?

IS HE AROUND?

WELL, WAIT IN HIS OFFICE.
I'LL GET HIM FOR YOU.

OK, THANK YOU.

THIS IS NICE.

THIS IS IT.

IT'S TERRIFIC. IT IS.

YOU DID A GOOD JOB.

IT'S ABOUT HALF AS
BIG AS YOUR PLACE.

OH, WELL.

I WAS SO BUSY AT
THE OFFICE TODAY.

THANK YOU.

I THOUGHT THEY WERE GONNA START

CALLING ME AT
HOME, AND I JUST...

I DIDN'T WANT THEM

INTERRUPTING OUR EVENING.

I'LL TAKE THAT AS A
SERIOUS COMPLIMENT.

WELL, I HOPE YOU DON'T THINK

MY COMING UP HERE

MEANS I'VE DECIDED ANYTHING.

YOU MADE YOUR DECISION
WHEN YOU CALLED ME LAST NIGHT.

YOU WANT SOME SHERRY?

OK. YOU KNOW,

YOU'RE PRETTY SURE OF YOURSELF.

OH, NO, I'M NOT.
BELIEVE ME, I'M NOT.

IT'S JUST THAT... YOU KNOW,

WHY DID YOU CALL
ME ALL OF A SUDDEN?

I DON'T WANT TO
TALK ABOUT THAT NOW.

OK.

I'LL JUST BELIEVE IT'S MY
CHARMING GOOD LOOKS.

WELL, YOU'RE RIGHT ON
BOTH OF THOSE COUNTS.

HI.

HI.

WHAT'S THAT?

A BONUS.

IF THAT DOCUMENT'S LEGAL,

THEN THE EWINGS HAVE
BRIBED SENATOR ORLOFF.

BEN, DON'T PUT
WORDS IN MY MOUTH.

I WANT TO BE VERY
PRECISE ABOUT THIS.

THE EWINGS HOLD A
SECOND TRUST DEED

ON THE SENATOR'S HOME.

$50,000... TO DATE,

HE HASN'T PAID BACK
ONE BIT OF THAT LOAN.

IF THAT'S NOT A BRIBE,
WHAT DO YOU CALL IT?

A FAVOR, A LOAN
DISCREETLY FORGOTTEN.

TO ME IT SUGGESTS
THAT WILD BILL ORLOFF

IS NOT WORKING FOR THE
PEOPLE WHO ELECTED HIM.

WHAT NOW, MR. BARNES?

GONNA GIVE THIS
DOCUMENT TO THE COMMITTEE

WHEN I GET BACK TO AUSTIN.

I IMAGINE THEY'LL WANT
TO TALK TO THE SENATOR.

DON'T YOU?

I WOULDN'T BE SURPRISED.

[DIALING]

J.R., I THINK WE GOT A
BIG PROBLEM DOWN HERE.

[INDISTINCT CHATTERING]

CLIFF BARNES IS HOLDING
A NEWS CONFERENCE

RIGHT NOW.

HE'S GOT A DOCUMENT
IN HIS HANDS.

IT'S A COPY OF ORLOFF'S
SECOND TRUST DEED.

STRAIGHT FROM THE FILES

MY LITTLE BROTHER FORGOT TO PUT

IN HIS ATTACHE CASE YESTERDAY.

THE FILES THAT HIS LOVELY WIFE

SO GRACIOUSLY
BROUGHT TO US IN DALLAS,

WHERE, INCIDENTALLY,
SHE HAD LUNCH

WITH HER BROTHER CLIFF BARNES.

NOW, I WONDER HOW CLIFF BARNES

GOT A HOLD OF THAT DOCUMENT.

THERE'S A SPY IN THE HOUSE.

Bobby: YOU HAVE NO RIGHT

TO MAKE AN ACCUSATION LIKE THAT.

I'D BE AN IDIOT TO
THINK ANYTHING ELSE.

SHE'S MY WIFE, J.R.

HOW DID BARNES GET A
HOLD OF THAT DOCUMENT?

I DON'T KNOW,

BUT SHE DIDN'T GIVE IT TO HIM!

WELL, WHO DID?! STOP THAT!

STOP THAT SHOUTING
IN THIS HOUSE!

I'M SORRY, MAMA.

YOU LEFT THAT DOCUMENT HERE,

SHE BROUGHT IT TO
US. AS FAR AS I KNOW...

MAYBE WHAT YOU KNOW
DOESN'T GO FAR ENOUGH.

THE ONLY TIME THAT FILE
WAS OUT OF MY HANDS

OR YOURS, FOR THAT MATTER,

WAS WHILE SHE HAD IT.

DADDY?

YOU KNOW SHE WOULDN'T
DO SOMETHING LIKE THAT.

WELL, SOMEBODY
HAD BETTER SPEAK UP.

SHE IS MY WIFE.

ISN'T ANYBODY GONNA DEFEND HER?

YOU'RE ASKING TOO MUCH, BOBBY.

I'M ASKING MY FAMILY
TO BELIEVE IN MY WIFE!

Bobby: DON'T ASK ME
TO MAKE A CHOICE.

GIVE IT UP. NOT A CHANCE.

[DOOR CLOSES]

[DOOR OPENS AND CLOSES]

PACK YOUR BAGS, HONEY.

WE'RE GONNA MOVE TO A HOTEL

TILL THIS IS OVER.

I DIDN'T DO IT, BOBBY.

I KNOW THAT.

ARE YOU SURE?

I KNOW YOU.

HOW WELL, THOUGH?

ISN'T THERE SOME PART OF YOU

THAT DOESN'T TRUST ME?

NOT A BIT.

HONEY, WHEN YOU
BROUGHT THE FILE INTO TOWN,

YOU DIDN'T STOP
ANYWHERE, DID YOU?

OH, BOBBY.

NOW, LOOK, I SAID
I BELIEVED YOU.

IT'S JUST MY FAMILY.

NOBODY SAID A WORD.
NOBODY BACKED YOU UP.

I HATE COMING BETWEEN
YOU AND YOUR FAMILY.

FORGET IT.

IT'S JUST THAT WE
CAN'T STAY HERE,

THAT'S ALL.

WOULD YOUR BROTHER
TELL YOU WHERE

HE GOT THE FILE?

I CAN ASK HIM.

THAT'S WHAT I THOUGHT.

COME ON.

CLIFF? [TYPING]

CLIFF!

I DON'T UNDERSTAND.

THERE'S NOTHING TO UNDERSTAND.

WILD BILL ORLOFF HAS BLOCKED

EVERY PIECE OF
CREATIVE LEGISLATION

I'VE BEEN INVOLVED IN.

HEY, FINE.

LET LITTLE SISTER TAKE THE RAP?

NEVER CROSSED MY MIND,

BUT YOU KNEW WHAT
YOU WERE GETTING INTO

WHEN YOU MARRIED A EWING.

YOU KNEW I WOULDN'T EASE OFF,

AND YOU WOULDN'T WANT ME TO.

NO.

BUT IT'S ME, CLIFF,
AND YOU'VE MADE ME

COME BETWEEN MY
HUSBAND AND HIS FAMILY.

PAM, I CANNOT HELP IT

IF THE EWINGS DON'T
TRUST ONE ANOTHER.

OH, ALL I'M ASKING YOU TO DO...

[TELEPHONE RINGS]

HELLO.

UM... WELL, I, UH,

I REALLY CAN'T, UH,
DISCUSS THAT RIGHT NOW.

I THOUGHT YOU WERE JUST
GONNA SHOW THE THING TO...

TO THE MAN TO GET RID OF HIM.

WE CAN TALK ABOUT THAT TONIGHT.

TONIGHT? WELL...

[SIGHS]

ALL RIGHT.

ORLOFF HASN'T MADE ANY PAYMENTS,

HASN'T EVEN MADE
INTEREST PAYMENTS.

YOU'VE GOT A RIGHT
TO CALL THE LOAN

AND DEMAND FULL PAYMENT.

TECHNICALLY, THAT WOULD
TAKE YOU OFF THE HOOK.

CLAIM OVERSIGHT?

YEAH.

[SCOFFS]

ORLOFF WILL LOSE
HIS HOUSE IF WE DO IT.

J.R.: HE KNEW THE RISK
WHEN HE TOOK THE MONEY.

WELL, THANK YOU, ED.

WE'LL LET YOU KNOW
WHAT WE DECIDE.

REALLY NO DECIDING
TO IT, MR. EWING.

GIVE MY BEST TO YOUR DADDY, OK?

ALL RIGHT.

[SIGHS]

[DOOR CLOSES]

DADDY, THERE HAS
TO BE ANOTHER WAY.

YOU GOTTA REMEMBER
ONE THING, BOBBY.

IT'S ALWAYS HARD

TO COME DOWN ON AN OLD FRIEND.

Orloff: BOBBY, YOU'VE, UH,

YOU'VE BEEN TO MY
HOUSE, HAVEN'T YOU?

Bobby: YES, SENATOR,
A COUPLE TIMES.

OH, YES, SURE YOU
HAVE. YEAH, YEAH.

IT'S A PRETTY HOUSE, ISN'T IT?

YES, SIR, IT IS.

YEAH, DOROTHY AND I
JUST LOVE THAT HOUSE.

WE GO TO OTHER HOUSES...

BIGGER ONES, GRANDER ONES...

THEN WE COME HOME, LOOK AROUND,

SMILE AT EACH OTHER

BECAUSE WE KNOW WE
LIKE OUR HOUSE BETTER.

HEH HEH. HOWDY. HOW ARE YOU?

WELL, I GUESS THAT'S ONE THING

THAT WE GOT IN
OUR LIVES, OUR HOME.

HEH HEH. RIGHT?

SENATOR, WE'RE CALLING
IN OUR LOAN TODAY.

BOBBY, I... I DON'T
HAVE THE MONEY.

WE'LL GIVE IT TO YOU TOMORROW.

OH, SON, YOU CAN'T DO THAT.

ALL THESE REPORTERS,
THEY'D... THEY'D...

THEY'D WANT TO
KNOW WHERE I GOT IT.

SENATOR, THERE'S NOTHING ILLEGAL

ABOUT US LENDING
YOU ANOTHER $50,000.

BOBBY, THAT'D BE A
BREACH OF ETHICS.

I'D NEVER BE ABLE TO
HOLD ON TO MY SEAT

IN THE LEGISLATURE.

BOBBY, WHAT ARE YOU SAYING?

THAT YOU CAN KEEP YOUR HOUSE.

BUT I'D HAVE TO
RESIGN MY SENATE SEAT.

YES, SIR, YOU WOULD.

TODAY.

NO, THAT'D BE LIKE
ADMITTING EVERYTHING.

I'M GONNA FIGHT THIS THING.
I WANT TO CLEAR MY NAME.

SENATOR, FACTS ARE FACTS,

AND CLIFF BARNES HAS
A PAPER TO PROVE 'EM.

NOW, THERE'S NO SENSE IN
YOU AND I TRYING TO DENY

SOMETHING THAT'S AS PLAIN
AS THE NOSE ON OUR FACE.

RESIGN?

GUESS I DON'T HAVE ANY CHOICE.

I'M SORRY.

I'M SURE YOU ARE.

BOBBY... HOW'D CLIFF BARNES

GET A HOLD OF THAT TRUST DEED?

WE DON'T KNOW YET.

I SEE.

[HORN HONKING]

Pam: I TALKED TO CLIFF.

HE WON'T HELP ME.

YOU KNOW, HE
SCARES ME SOMETIMES.

HE'S SO INTENSE.

HE CAN'T TELL YOU
HIS SOURCE, HONEY.

I WOULDN'T IF I WERE HIM.

WHAT ABOUT YOUR FAMILY, BOBBY?

HOW ARE WE GOING
TO GET YOU AND THEM

BACK TOGETHER?

US AND THEM BACK TOGETHER.

BY FINDING OUT HOW THAT
FILE GOT OUT, THAT'S HOW.

WHO HAD ACCESS TO THEM?

DADDY, MYSELF, AND J.R.

WELL, YOUR DADDY'S OUT.

EVEN J.R. WOULDN'T LOSE

HIS BEST MAN IN THE LEGISLATURE

TO MAKE A FOOL OUT OF ME.

IT WASN'T YOU, AND IT WASN'T ME.

HOW ABOUT JULIE?

SHE WAS THE LAST
ONE WITH THE FILE.

HONEY, SHE'S BEEN
WITH J.R. FOR YEARS.

I KNOW.

BUT SINCE IT WASN'T ME...

THEN THAT LEAVES US
BACK AT SQUARE ONE.

OH.

OK, TOMORROW MORNING

WE'LL GO INTO THE
OFFICE TOGETHER,

EARLY BEFORE ANYBODY'S IN.

WE'LL FIND OUT WHAT HAPPENED.

WE'LL BE BACK AT THE
RANCH IN NO TIME AT ALL.

YOU WAIT AND SEE.

J.R. WILL HAVE A FEW
APOLOGIES TO MAKE.

SURE, HE WILL, HONEY.

Julie: LET'S SEE.

WE'VE COVERED THE SUPER BOWL,

THE SUPERDOME, THE
FUTURE OF THE COWBOYS,

HOW TOM LANDRY NEVER SMILES.

NOW CAN WE TALK ABOUT
THE PRESS CONFERENCE?

I MEAN, WHEN I HEARD IT,

I ALMOST HAD A HEART ATTACK.

WELL, I'M SURE EVEN MATA HARI

HAD A FEW BAD MOMENTS.

SURE, JUST BEFORE
THEY STOOD HER UP

IN FRONT OF A WALL AND SHOT HER.

SERIOUSLY, CLIFF, I
DON'T UNDERSTAND.

WHAT'S TO UNDERSTAND?

WELL, ALL THE HULLABALOO.

I MEAN, IF YOU REALLY
WANTED ORLOFF OUT,

WHY DIDN'T YOU
CONFRONT HIM HEAD ON?

TECHNICALLY,

ORLOFF DIDN'T DO
ANYTHING ILLEGAL.

BUT IF I'D HAVE SHOWN
HIM THAT DEED COPY,

HE'D HAVE BEEN ON THE PHONE

PROBABLY WITH JOCK EWING,

AND THEY'D HAVE
COOKED UP SOMETHING

WITHIN A MATTER OF MINUTES.

A LOST RECEIPT, A
SECRET ACCOUNT,

EXTRA $50,000.

WHY CAN'T THEY DO THAT NOW?

BECAUSE...

HE'S IN THE LIMELIGHT.
HE CAN'T MAKE A MOVE.

BUT IF IT'S LEGAL...
[LAUGHS] HE'S SUNK.

LOOK, HE TOOK
$50,000 FROM EWING,

HE HASN'T PAID BACK A DIME,

HE'S VOTED THEIR WAY
EVERY CHANCE HE'S HAD,

SO LET THE ETHICS
COMMITTEE HAVE HIM!

[SIGHS]

I FEEL SORRY FOR HIM.
I MEAN, HE'S REALLY...

JULIE... HE'S NOT A BAD OLD GUY.

HE'S A CROOK!

[MOCKING] JULIE, HE'S A CROOK.

MY, HOW SERIOUS WE ARE.

YOU KNEW THAT.

I ALSO KNOW YOU'RE
VERY SENSITIVE

BEHIND YOUR KNEES.

REALLY?

[LAUGHS] I'LL REMIND YOU.

SHE COULD HAVE XEROXED THE FILE.

IT CAN'T BE JULIE.

WHY ARE YOU SO SURE?

'CAUSE SHE AND J.R. HAD A...

HAVE HAD A THING
GOING ON FOR YEARS.

WHAT KIND OF THING?

WELL, NOT EXACTLY AN AFFAIR.

SEX?

NOT ON A REGULAR BASIS.

SHE LIKES TO MAKE HIM FEEL GOOD,

TO COMFORT HIM WHEN HE'S DOWN.

Pam: THERE IT IS.

I DON'T UNDERSTAND IT.

THAT NUMBER IS
ONLY A WEEK OR 2 OLD,

AND IT'S UNLISTED.

[RING]

Cliff: HELLO. CLIFF?

I THOUGHT YOU
WEREN'T SPEAKING TO ME.

THAT WAS YESTERDAY.

ALL RIGHT, I ACCEPT
YOUR APOLOGY.

WHO SAID IT WAS AN APOLOGY?

IS SOMEBODY THERE?

UH, A GENTLEMAN NEVER TELLS.

I WANT TO SEE YOU.

NOT IF YOU'RE
GONNA START IN ON ME

LIKE YOU DID YESTERDAY.

NO, IT'S PERSONAL.

OH, I'VE REALLY GOT
A BUSY DAY, PAM.

PLEASE?

HOW SOON?

I'M AT THE RANCH. I'LL
BE THERE IN AN HOUR.

I'LL WAIT.

I WON'T.

OH, NO, WAIT. COME HERE.

WE'VE GOT TIME.

OH, NOT THAT MUCH TIME.

WELL, I DON'T WANT
TO LET YOU GO.

[SIGHS]

THAT'S NICE TO HEAR.

I DON'T WANT YOUR
SISTER TO SEE ME HERE,

AND I DON'T THINK YOU WANT HER

TO SEE ME HERE NOW.

YOU'RE BEAUTIFUL
AND SMART AND, UH...

Radio anchor: SHOWERS TODAY...

I'LL GET US ANOTHER
CUP OF COFFEE.

YOU WANT ANYTHING ELSE?

NO, I HAVE A BOYFRIEND

WHO LIKES MY
FIGURE THE WAY IT IS.

Anchor: AND SATURDAY ABOUT 67.

AND NOW THE 8:00 NEWS.

SENATOR WILLIAM
ORLOFF HAS RESIGNED

FROM THE STATE SENATE
EFFECTIVE IMMEDIATELY.

THIS ACTION FOLLOWS
THE REVELATION

OF A QUESTIONABLE LOAN
MADE BY THE SENATOR

AND REVEALED AT A PRESS
CONFERENCE YESTERDAY

BY SENATE INVESTIGATING
COMMITTEE COUNSEL CLIFF BARNES.

AT THE... MMM...

WHY'D YOU SHUT THAT
OFF? I WANTED TO HEAR THAT.

CLIFF?

CLIFF.

I THOUGHT YOU SAID
THAT'S WHAT YOU WANTED.

YOU SAID YOU WANTED
THE CROOKS OUT OF OFFICE,

AND YOU WANTED
TO GIVE GOVERNMENT

BACK TO THE PEOPLE.

I DO. I STILL DO.

BUT I NEED ORLOFF.

HE'S THE KEY TO OPEN UP
THE WHOLE CAN OF WORMS,

THE EWING WORMS,
FOR EVERYBODY TO SEE.

OH, IT IS THE EWINGS
YOU'RE AFTER.

YOU DON'T GIVE A DAMN
ABOUT ETHICAL GOVERNMENT.

NOW WAIT A MINUTE.
WE CAN STILL DO THIS

BECAUSE YOU STILL
HAVE ACCESS TO THE FILES.

OH, CLIFF, PLEASE.

LISTEN, YOU REMEMBER...

YOU REMEMBER THE LAND
DEAL THAT J.R. PUT TOGETHER...

CLIFF! OH, REALLY.

ABOUT 2 YEARS AGO?

AND, UH, WHAT ABOUT
THOSE OIL LEASES

THAT HE BOUGHT FOR
50 CENTS ON THE DOLLAR?

COFFEE?

THE QUICKER I GET OUT
OF HERE THE BETTER.

WELL, WHAT ABOUT US?

THAT WAS NO ACT, YOU AND ME.

YOU KNOW, YOU'RE JUST LIKE J.R.

USING, USING, USING.

I'VE BEEN HONEST.

I'VE BEEN HONEST ALL ALONG.

I SAID FROM THE BEGINNING

THAT I'D TRY TO PRY
THINGS OUT OF YOU.

I SAID THAT I WOULD USE YOU.

BUT YOU MADE YOURSELF
SOUND SO NOBLE.

I'M THE GOOD GUYS.

THEY ARE THE BAD GUYS.
THAT'S THE DIFFERENCE.

NOT FROM THIS END.

I'M LEAVING HERE
THE SAME... USED.

[SNIFFS]

I WANT TO TALK TO YOU.

I'M ON MY WAY TO
THE OFFICE, PAM.

HOW LONG HAVE YOU
BEEN SEEING MY BROTHER?

WHO SAID I'VE BEEN
SEEING YOUR BROTHER?

HEY, LOOK, I KNOW YOU
GAVE CLIFF THE FILE,

AND IT SEEMS TO BE
MY BUSINESS NOW.

PAM, IF YOU CAN'T HOLD YOUR OWN

WITH THE EWINGS...

THAT WHAT'S BEEN EATING YOU UP?

THERE'S NOTHING
EATING ME UP, PAM.

I SEE. BOTH OF US WORKING GIRLS.

YOU SETTLED FOR WHAT
YOU COULD HAVE WITH J.R.,

AND I MARRIED BOBBY.

I DID WHAT YOU WERE
AFRAID TO EVEN TRY.

LISTEN, WILL YOU LEAVE ME ALONE?

MAYBE WAY BACK WHEN IF
YOU'D STOOD YOUR GROUND,

YOU COULD HAVE BEEN MRS. EWING.

WHAT HAVE YOU GOT
NOW, JULIE? NOTHING.

NOT EVEN YOUR SELF-RESPECT.

HI, BOBBY.

JULIE CALL IN OR ANYTHING?

NO, SHE'S PROBABLY OUT

GIVING MORE PAPERS
TO CLIFF BARNES.

WHAT DID YOU SAY?

JULIE GAVE THE TRUST
DEED TO BARNES.

WELL, THAT'S THE
MOST RIDICULOUS THING

I EVER HEARD.

[LAUGHING]

IT'S POSSIBLE.
PROBABLE, IN FACT.

HA HA HA. YOU...

YOU MUST BE SOME
KIND OF DESPERATE,

AND YOU HAVE A
GREAT IMAGINATION.

JULIE KNOWS BARNES.

HOW DO YOU KNOW?

NEVER MIND.

PAMELA GAVE THE FILE TO JULIE.

JULIE HAD THE SAME OPPORTUNITY

TO HAVE IT COPIED
AND GIVE IT TO BARNES.

NOW, YOU STOP FISHING, BOY.

JULIE'S BEEN WITH
US A LONG TIME.

SHE DESERVES THE
BENEFIT OF THE DOUBT.

THEN WHY DOESN'T MY WIFE DESERVE

THE BENEFIT OF THE DOUBT?

BECAUSE SHE HASN'T EARNED IT.

J.R., I'M GOING OUT TO
THE RANCH TONIGHT,

AND I'M TELLING EVERYBODY
WE GOT A BRAND-NEW SUSPECT.

IF YOU DO THAT...

I'D HAVE TO BLOW THE
WHISTLE ON YOU AND JULIE.

WELL, YOU SURELY WON'T DO THAT.

WHY?

BECAUSE WE'RE BROTHERS.

AND I GOT A WIFE.

AND SO DO I.

BUT I WON'T BLOW THE
WHISTLE ON YOU, J.R.

AND I WON'T BREAK
UP YOUR MARRIAGE.

AND I WON'T COME BETWEEN YOU

AND OUR MAMA AND DADDY.

IN OTHER WORDS, I WON'T DO

WHAT YOU ALREADY
DID TO ME, BROTHER.

JULIE.

I QUIT.

WHAT?

I GAVE THE FILE TO CLIFF BARNES.

WHY?

I LIKED THE WAY HE MADE LOVE.

THOUGHT HE DESERVED A REWARD.

DO YOU LOVE HIM?

I DON'T LOVE ANYBODY.

WELL, TELL ME WHY.

BECAUSE YOU HAVE TO ASK THAT.

THAT'S WHY.

I TOLD HIM.

YOU TAKE CARE, YOU HEAR?

Bobby: NOBODY.

NOT ONE PERSON IN MY FAMILY

SAID A WORD IN
DEFENSE OF MY WIFE.

NOW, JUST HOLD IT.

NOT THEIR FAULT, BOBBY.

IT'S MINE.

WELL, IT'S KIND OF
HARD TO SWALLOW

ABOUT JULIE, I
CAN TELL YOU THAT.

DADDY, THAT IS ALL
BESIDE THE POINT.

I AM JUST AS HAPPY
AS EVERYBODY ELSE

THAT THIS WHOLE DAMN
THING HAS BEEN CLEARED UP,

BUT MY WIFE HAS BEEN
DONE A DISSERVICE.

BOBBY, IT'S ALL RIGHT NOW.

NO, IT ISN'T, HONEY.
THERE'S NO EXCUSE FOR IT.

Lucy: OF COURSE THERE IS, BOBBY.

WE ALL THOUGHT SHE WAS GUILTY.

[GIGGLING]

MAYBE IF I'D BEEN YOU,

I'D HAVE FELT THE SAME WAY, TOO.

THAT'S VERY GENEROUS
OF YOU, PAMELA.

YOU WERE THE
HARDEST ON HER, J.R.

I AM SORRY.

ACCEPTED.

J.R.

NOW, I WANT YOU AND
PAM TO QUIT FIGHTING...

FOREVER.

COME ON, I WANT BOTH OF YOU

TO GIVE EACH OTHER A LITTLE KISS

AND MAKE UP.

JUST A FRIENDLY LITTLE KISS.

PAM.
