Dallas (1978–1991): Season 11, Episode 10 - Bedtime Stories - full transcript

Last on Dallas:

I'm gonna give her the divorce.

After tonight, I don't wanna
talk about it again ever.

I'm looking for you to back me.
Like you would've for your old man.

- What about the rest of your life?
- What about it?

Shouldn't you be seeing
some eligible young men?

Ask me again to many you.

- You sure that's what you want?
- For the rest of my life.

- It's 5:00.
- No problem.

I've ordered in food from
one of the best in town.

If he's free to go after
whatever he wants...



I'm free to go after
whatever I want of his.

Well, why'd you have them?

You know they disagree with you.

When your son takes you out for a
day on the town and buys you a hot dog...

it's un-American not
to have onions on it.

You didn't feel that way last night
just from one hot dog with onions.

My hot dog consumption
is none of your business.

You're jealous because
you didn't get one.

Morning.

- Morning.
- Morning.

- How you feeling, Mama?
- She spent half the night last night...

burping onions and telling me
how wonderful your new office is.

I warned you against having
that second hot dog, Mama.

Oh, Bobby, you
swore you wouldn't tell.



Tell what?

You got some deep
dark secret, Mama?

I'm sworn to secrecy, JR.

It all sounds very
mysterious to me.

Did you two have a nice time
last night? I didn't hear you come in.

I had a late
meeting at the office.

Nicholas Pearce has such a
schedule lined up for Valentine's...

in the next few months, that
it's gonna make or break me.

Oh, well. I assumed
that you were together.

Oh, I had a business
dinner myself last night.

J.R., you having any trouble
finding people to work with?

Ewing name is not exactly
made of gold these days.

Well, I'm finding a deal here
and there. How about you?

Little things. I do have a name for my
company though, Petro Group Dallas.

PGD.

Oh, that's a catchy name.

A little one-man group is it?

For the time being.

- I'd love to see your offices, Bobby.
- Mm.

They're beautiful. He
showed them to me yesterday.

Well, actually, J.R. picked them out,
so I guess it's a tribute to his taste.

- Glad to have you back in the battle.
- I'm starting.

- Morning, everyone.
- Hi, Ray.

- Morning.
- Clayton, Miss Ellie.

- He||o.
- Well, Jenna.

Glad we caught
you all here together.

It's just our regular
breakfast we have every day.

- Don't you wanna join us?
- No, thank you, Miss Ellie.

Um... We have
something to tell you.

Hardly wait to hear it.

Well, I guess when you got
something to say it's best just to say it.

I asked Jenna to marry me.

She said yes.

Well.

Congratulations.

- Ray.
- Bobby.

I'm happy for the both of you.

Thank you.

Well, I can't hardly
stand all this good news.

I'm off to the office.

- Congratulations, Ray.
- Thank you, Sue Ellen.

Jenna. Jenna.

- Hello?
- Miss Stevens, Larry Doyle, New York.

Oh, right. How's it going?

Well, you'll have to
be the judge of that.

Uh... I do have some
information on Joseph Lombardi.

You do.

Yes.

There was a Joseph Lombardi
that went to P.S. 74 in Bensonhurst...

about the time you
thought, but he dropped out...

before his class graduated.

Well, what happened to him?

I checked all the high schools
for someone his age. Uh...

I figured maybe his family
moved or he transferred.

I came up with
two Joe Lombardis.

The first one I traced to Queens.
He works in a machine shop there.

The other one is a lawyer,
works in Connecticut...

married with two kids.

That's it? There's no other information
about the one that dropped out of school?

Well, if there is, I haven't
been able to find it yet.

But there is no death
certificate, no jail record.

I don't know, maybe he
moved out of state or something.

All right, you keep digging
and we'll keep in touch.

Yes, ma'am. I'll
get back to you.

Okay, bye-bye.

Nicholas Pearce, please.

April Stevens.

Good morning.

Fine, fine, fine. Um...

I was thinking about
our last conversation...

and I was wondering if you could
meet me at about noon at The Crescent.

Wonderful.

I'll see you then.

Casey, I got the papers
on the Marilee Stone deal.

You did very well,
boy. Very well.

You earned a vacation.

Heh-heh. Well, I
could sure use one.

Didn't I earn myself a
little something else too?

Sure, you did.

1 percent, that's
almost $200,000.

Well, I appreciate it.

But since I put so much of
myself into working with Marilee...

don't you think 250,000
has a better ring to it?

Ha-ha-ha. Yeah, it sure does.

And when you pull off a deal worth
$25 million, that's just what you'll get.

But those kind of deals
don't come along every day.

You see how much
you're learning?

Yeah, but...

No buts.

I want you lean and
I want you hungry.

Casey, pretty soon you're
gonna be getting some inquiries...

about selling that new
company we just bought.

Well, we're not
gonna sell it, are we?

Let me give you another
one of J.R.'s golden rules.

For the right price and to the
right buyer, anything is for sale.

I'll talk to you later.

- Clyde! residence.
- Mrs. Cryder, please.

The postmaster
general is on the phone.

What a surprise, Mr. Postmaster.

Ha-ha-ha. Well, something
came up reminding me of you...

how lovely you
looked last night.

Oh, well. You do have
good taste in clothing.

Say, listen, is there
any chance we can get

together later on,
continue our discussion?

Well, I'm a little busy, but I
could break away for a cocktail.

How about 5.7

All right, The Peacock Room.

That dark little place?

Sounds wonderful.

Good. See you then.

So, what do you think?

The pasta was good.

I meant about my
buying the place.

- You want another restaurant?
- Yeah.

Why?

You said I should do
something with my money.

Yeah, but that is not
what I had in mind.

It all you want is a chain of restaurants
then I overestimated your intelligence.

I didn't say all.

I just thought it'd
be a great location.

I mean, with the hotel over
here and all these chefs...

these people have
to eat somewhere.

Then why do you just get a
hot-dog stand with an umbrella?

- There's a lot less overhead that way.
- Mm.

Oh, look, I love this store
and they're having a sale.

I almost forgot...

I don't have to
shop sales anymore.

You know when I
was growing up...

I bet I didn't have a thing that
wasn't handed down or marked down.

Just a regular
secondhand rose, huh?

Son of.

All my life, I always
wanted to have more.

Of course I never
thought I'd end up like this.

Mm.

What about you?

What about me?

- When you were a kid.
- Yeah?

Where'd you grow up?

I mean, from the sound of it
you're not exactly a native Texan.

- You noticed, huh?
- Yeah.

Actually, I'm from Boston.

Park the car in the Harbor Yard.

- It took a while to lose the accent.
- Mm-hm.

Right, and I'm from Romania.

Really? Tell me, did you
ever meet Nadia Comaneci?

Oh, old personal friend.

Really?

- You're not gonna tell me, are you?
- Tell you what?

What you were like as a kid.

You really wanna know?

Yes.

- Okay, the truth.
- Always.

Come, come, sit down, sit down.

We had this
little family farm...

in Iowa.

And I was famous far
and wide as a fortuneteller.

And now you're
gonna tell my fortune.

I am.

The hand, the hand.

Hmm. This is interesting.

I see that one day you are going
to come into vast sums of money...

which you will invest wisely
with a tall, handsome stranger...

and he will make
you very, very happy.

Well...

I haven't met any tall, handsome
strangers lately so I guess I'm safe.

Oh. But look at this
love line. See that?

I see great things
in store for you.

- With that same tall, handsome stranger?
- No.

With...

a short, fat podiatrist.

Yeah, from Houston.

A short, fat podiatrist
from Houston, that's it.

- A podiatrist?
- The hand never lies.

So until he comes along...

we better have a talk about
getting your money to work for you.

From Houston?

This is a wonderful
time to have liquid assets.

Dallas is coming back strong...

and now is the time to move in on
some companies that are cash poor.

I will double your money.

I'm looking for Mr. Ewing.

He's right this way.

Oh, I see him. Thank you.

- He||o.
- He||o.

Have I kept you waiting?

Well, seeing you, it
was worth it. Please.

Thank you.

I had to stop at our jewelers to
pick up some cuff links for Wilson.

A little present.

Oh, yeah? To soothe
a guilty conscience?

To remind him of just
how much I care about him.

Oh.

Your wifely devotions
are very touching.

So is my generosity.

You like giving gifts?

Mm. Of all sorts.

Is there anything you
don't have that you'd like?

Well, a couple of things, yes.

I would like to get my
power in Dallas back.

I have the feeling that you
get pretty much what you want.

That used to be true.

But things are not
going my way lately.

Is that so?

Yeah, you remember that young
man who bumped into the waiter...

spilled all those
drinks over you?

Ha-ha. Very fondly. How
else would you and I have met?

Yeah, that's true.

But that's the only good
thing you can say about him.

Well, anyhow, his
name is Casey Denault.

And I've been trying to talk him
into selling me a company he bought.

Not expensive,
around $30 million.

But it has a great potential.

You mean to say he refused you?

Yes, he did.

Thing that bothers me about it is
somebody else is gonna snap that up...

and it's such a sweet deal.

I've always believed that if
you don't get what you want...

that there's something
better just waiting for you.

You have psychic powers.

I prefer to call
it animal instinct.

And I have the feeling that
something good is coming your way.

Really?

Let's hope so.

Mr. Ewing, I was just
on my way up to see you.

I'm not planning on
branching out or going public.

- I don't know what we have to talk about.
- About that meeting...

you had with John Cate about me.

Oh, John talked to
you, did he? Good, good.

Well, I just wanted to make sure that
my wife is getting properly taken care of.

Your wife is taking up a
disproportionate amount of my time...

but that's not why
I'm here to talk to you.

- Oh?
- I don't enjoy being talked to...

like some truant schoolboy.

Now, I've told Mr. Cate
so and now I'm telling you.

You got a problem, you come
and talk to me face to face.

Don't send somebody
else to do your work.

I don't deal with hired
help, I deal at the top.

Don't get arrogant with me.

I hear you're very good at what
you do, Mr. Ewing. Well, so am I.

And I am not
anyone's hired help.

I'm gonna take your wife's little company
and make it the biggest in the States.

I don't need your help
or your interference.

Well, I'll do whatever
I think is necessary.

You just make damn sure
you keep her happy here.

Oh, I'll keep her happy.
You can count on it.

Have a nice day.

Hi.

Your secretary said
you'd be down here.

Good idea. It's much too pretty
out to be cooped up in an office.

How about playing
hooky today, huh?

When Christopher gets out of
school, we could all go to a park.

Not today.

Is something wrong, Bobby?

Yes. Yes, there is.

Did I do something?

No. Not really.

Lisa, you're a very
special person.

There is a “but“
coming, isn't there?

Yes, there is.

You are a special person.

You helped Christopher and me
when we really needed someone.

I didn't just try to help you...

I kind of needed you too.

Christopher likes
you a great deal.

He's become very
attached to you.

So, what's wrong with that?

What's wrong with it...

is that someone he loved
very much, his mother, left him.

I don't think he can go through
that again. Not this soon.

Bobby, I'm not going anywhere.

Well, maybe not right
now, but eventually you will.

And it'll be devastating.

Lisa, he's just a little kid.

There's so many things about the
world that he just doesn't understand.

You're becoming like a surrogate
mother for him and that's just not right.

Bobby, the last thing I want
is to hurt either one of you.

I know that.

That doesn't make
it any easier for me.

But I know you'll
understand when I say...

that Christopher and I
have to stop seeing you.

At least as long as it takes to put
everything back in its proper perspective.

You know, Christopher wasn't the
only one who was getting attached.

It's gonna be hard
not to see him.

Hey, I'm not happy
about what I'm saying.

I'm gonna miss you too.

But I have to do
what's right for my boy.

It's tough being a third wheel
on a two-wheel bicycle, huh?

Right now, it has to be
just Christopher and me.

Hey, nothing
lasts forever, right?

It was fun, though.

I'll see you around, Bobby.

- Morning, Jackie.
- Mr. Lee.

- Cliff in?
- Let me tell him that you're here.

Cliff, Mr. Lee is
here to see you.

Okay. Send him in.

Thank you, Jackie.

Morning, Cliff.

Hi, Jordan.

My, I haven't seen you in a
long time. What brings you here?

I've been hearing some
strange rumors about you.

I just thought I'd drop
by and check them out.

Well, what have
you been hearing?

I heard that old
windbag Dandridge...

suckered you into
drilling on that land of his.

- You know Dandy?
- Know him? Hah.

He tried to get me to drill on that
worthless piece of ground 15 years ago.

Is that a fact?

Yeah. He shows up
every couple of years...

trying to find new backers.

Ah. Well, what makes
you think I fell for that?

Well, like I say, just rumors.

Well, that's all they
are, just... Just rumors.

I appreciate you
stopping by, but I am busy.

Well, just glad to learn you
didn't fall for that silly story of his.

Ha-ha-ha. Of course not. No.

- Yeah?
- This is Barnes, how's it going?

Same as ever. We ain't
pulling up nothing but mud.

- I wanna talk to Dandy.
- He ain't here.

No, he wasn't feeling too
good. He went into town.

Well, as soon as he gets back
you have him call me, you hear? Mm.

Mud. Mm-hm. That's
all I ever hear, mud.

Mm-hm. Oh.

Wait a second.

I see someone I know.

Bobby.

Tammy Kent.

Well, when I knew you at the
University of Texas it was Tammy Miller.

Tammy, of course,
what a surprise.

Isn't it? It's been a long time.

Are you waiting for someone?

Uh... Godot. I don't think
he's gonna show up though.

- Can I buy you a drink?
- I'd like that.

Please sit down. Sit down.

Jack.

JACK“. What'“ it be?

Martini, very dry.

- Yes, ma'am. Another?
- You bet.

Tammy Kent.

You and Paul got married.

We did and we were
till three months ago.

Oh, I'm sorry.

Me too.

He just...

packed his clothes, said he had
to find himself and walked out.

With no warning, nothing?

Not that I could see.

Well, I know the feeling.

Tammy, we're waiting for you.

- Oh, why don't you go ahead without me.
- We can't do that.

Hilda, this is Bobby Ewing.

I just wanna sit here
and talk for a while, okay?

Oh, you're Bobby Ewing.

- Yeah.
- We||...

We'|| see you at the
airport in the morning.

Okay.

- Okay. Bye.
- Bye.

Hope you don't mind
my barging in on you.

No, no. I hate to drink
alone as a matter of fact.

- There you go.
- Oop.

Thank you.

Thanks, Jack.

What did your friend mean when
she said, “Oh, you're Bobby Ewing“?

- It's very embarrassing.
- Come on.

Well, the last time
she and I were talking...

we were talking about
men we had a thing for...

but that nothing
ever happened with.

And I told her about you.

Me?

But you and Paul were going
together all through school.

We were, weren't we?

Yeah.

Well, I said nothing came of it.

So, what should we drink to?

Hook them horns?

Ha-ha. Perfect.

Miss Clark, Casey Denault.

Right.

Those offices you showed me.

Oh, yes, they were beautiful.

Well, draw up some
papers, I wanna rent them.

All right.

Right, I'll see you then.

Bye now.

Tell me, how does it
feel after three months?

It hurt any less?

No.

I don't believe it was my
fault, but I keep thinking it was.

Like, what did I do wrong?

Paul was the only
man I had ever known...

in a biblical sense, that is.

So when he left, I thought, “I
know, I'm gonna show him.“

But I couldn't.

Here I am in my 305...

and I've only made love
to one man in my life.

Hey, come on.

You're a beautiful young woman.

There's a whole
world out there for you.

You didn't say
sexy and desirable.

01 don't you think so?

Does it really
matter what I think?

A whole lot.

It's funny. Men just seem
to get better with age.

It's true. A woman has to worry
about every pound and every wrinkle.

I don't think you have
a thing to worry about.

And, yes, you are desirable.

And without a ride home.
I came with my friends.

Well, we have a
couple of alternatives.

I could get you a cab.

Or?

Or...

Or you could be the gentleman
you always were and take me there.

Yeah, that is an alternative.

- I haven't danced that much in years.
- Neither have I.

Or enjoyed it so.

I almost wish I weren't
going to Europe tomorrow.

When, uh...

When are you coming back?

I don't know.

A month, six months, whatever.

We're just gonna gad around
until we run out of money.

Considering my divorce
settlement, that might take forever.

Thank you, Bobby.

You made it a little
less lonely tonight.

For me too.

Here, let me open
that up for you.

There you go.

Would you like to come in?

I don't think I should.

I wish you would.

Just for a while?

Casey.

Hey. How come you
wanted to meet down here?

We gotta start being
a little careful now.

The way things are going, the less
you've seen around the office, the better.

Mr. Ewing, you got a
crystal ball or something?

Well, I might.

Well, you said I was
gonna get a call and I did.

- You'|| never guess who from.
- Well, who?

Wilson Clyde!
Himself. Westar Oil.

Really?

Now, I wonder
why he's calling you.

I figure somehow he heard
about that company I bought.

Sorry, you bought.

He wants to talk to
me about buying it.

Oh, yeah. Is that a fact?

You knew he'd be
interested in it, didn't you?

He mention any prices?

No, sir, but he does
wanna setup a meeting.

Good, good. I'm sure he
knows how much we paid for that.

He'll probably offer 20, 30
percent more, maybe even double it.

- That's one hell of a quick profit.
- Yeah.

Well, if we took cash,
but we're not going to.

What are we gonna do?

You're gonna tell him that you got
plenty of money, you don't need any cash.

You're gonna let him have
this deal for stock in Westar.

Preferred, not common.

Mr. Ewing, I may be
the new boy here...

but I don't understand why
you'd want stock in Westar.

- I thought they put you out of business.
- Yeah, that's right, they were.

Oh, wait, this whole deal with
Marilee and buying that company...

is just to get back at Westar?

Ha-ha. Now you're
learning how to skin a cat.

One thing you gotta remember...

don't you ever let that cat know you're
chasing him or you'll never catch him.

So one little word or hint from you
and you could sour this whole deal.

And you really don't wanna know what I do
to people who spoil things for me, do you?

I figure what's good for
you has to be good for me.

I just wanna watch and learn.

Good.

You just hold on to my coattails.
Gonna be a hell of a ride, kid.

- He||o, may I help you?
- I'm just looking.

Feel free to browse. If you
need help, I'll be over here.

- Thank you.
- Mm-hm.

I don't know, Ray. Somehow
this just doesn't feel right.

You don't like this? I'll have
them make something up for you.

No, I don't mean that. I mean the
whole idea of a fancy full-dress wedding.

Now, we've both
been married before.

Well, nobody's talking
about big or fancy.

Like I said, my house'll hold just
about everybody that needs to be there.

I just thought you might like
the idea of wearing something...

a little special and
beautiful like that gown.

Hmm. And you in
a cutaway, right?

I don't know. It's just not us.

That's for the
people at Southfork.

Well, I've got some old
jeans with holes in them.

I could probably round up some
ratty old shirts to go with them.

Let's not go that far, huh?

The point is, Jenna, I don't care
where we get married or how we look...

just as long as we do.

Did you find it necessary
to confront him like that?

Yes. I thought that there was
a point or two to straighten out.

Don't make an enemy of JR.

It would make things
very difficult for me.

Sue Ellen...

I understand that
you value his opinion...

but you have good
instincts of your own.

You don't have to run to him
every time you're not sure what to do.

I did that when I
wasn't sure about you.

And now?

And now I'm beginning to believe
you know what you're doing.

Well, that's a
major breakthrough.

I know you're teasing, but it
is a major breakthrough for me.

When I first started
Valentine Lingerie, I...

I did it for a different reason.

I didn't care at all whether
it was successful or not.

But it is...

and you should
take credit for it.

I do.

But it was the first time in my life
that I ever did something on my own.

My money, my time, my company.

And as much as I wanted to
prove that I could do it on my own...

I was a little bit
afraid of failing...

of going too fast too soon.

I put myself in a position
of having to be right.

But you were
willing to go for it.

Take a chance with me.

I really didn't have a choice.
You swept me off my feet.

Which are now solidly
back on the ground.

- I think so.
- Good.

Then we should start talking
about the opening of the Miami store.

It could be the first
one that's ready.

Before we order lunch?

Before, during and after.

Like the man once said:

“You ain't seen nothing yet.“

Hey. Baak!

- How was that?
- It's pretty good.

Couple more lessons, you'll
be ready to play ice hockey.

Maybe a lot more lessons.

I'm hungry. Can we get something to eat
or do you have to get back to the office?

I'm not going back to the office.
I'm gonna spend the day with you.

I thought maybe we'd talk a
little, maybe take in a movie.

Talk about what?

Well, I don't know. How about
shoes and ships and ceiling wax?

And cabbages and kings.

Ha-ha-ha. That's right.
How do you know about that?

I saw it on TV.

It's where they ate all
those oysters. Yuck.

I, uh...

I saw Lisa yesterday.

Is she all right?

Oh, yeah, she's fine.

Is she gonna go to
the movie with us?

No, buddy, she's not.

As a matter of fact...

we're not gonna be
seeing Lisa for a while.

How come?

I really like her.

Well, I know you do. So do I.

Christopher...

your mama hasn't
been gone very long.

And there's a big empty
space in both our lives...

and that's not gonna go
away for a while, so I...

I thought we should
just take it slow.

Didn't you like Lisa?

Of course I did.

But I liked her because you
and I had so much fun with her.

But Lisa's a big grownup lady...

and if we keep spending time with her,
she might want it to be more than just fun.

I don't understand.

Okay.

I don't think either one of us are ready
for somebody to try and take Mama's place.

And that's not fair to Lisa.

Because if we keep
spending time with her...

someday she's gonna understand
that we only wanna befriends...

and then she might go away.

And I don't want either one
of us so attached to her...

that we get hurt all over again.

Maybe she wouldn't.

Maybe she just
wants to stay friends.

Well, maybe.

But I don't think we can
take that chance, pal.

- Come on, let's go get something to eat.
- Okay.

- So, what do you wanna eat?
- Fresh fruit.

I was hoping
maybe fried chicken.

Too much cholesterol.

Too much cholesterol? Where
do you learn this stuff anyway?

I hate fruit.

Hi, Papa.

Yeah, it's me.

Hi.

How you doing?

Oh, yeah? Whew.

That's good. Yeah, yeah.

How's Mama?

She is? Ha...

Yeah, well, then you should
tell her not to work so hard.

Me?

I'm doing great, Papa, yeah.

Everything's great.

Look...

something happened the other
night I should talk to you about.

I...

I bumped into some guy
named Pete something or other...

from the old neighborhood.

Yeah, well, he thought he recognized me,
but I think I convinced him he was wrong.

Yeah.

I know.

I know it can be dangerous.

Hey, how am I
supposed to figure...

I'm gonna bump into some guy
from back there have in Dallas?

No, he doesn't know my name now.

No... I don't think there's
anything to worry about.

I just thought you should know.

Yeah, my hair is still long.

Well, I like it.

Yeah, I will.

I will.

Yeah, look.

Yeah, I'll get back
to you soon. Yeah.

And you tell Mama to slow down
and you tell her I said so, okay?

Yeah.

I love you too, Papa.

The best part was when
he zapped Space Monster.

I don't know why I let
you talk me into that.

It was neat.

Yeah, it's also bedtime. You go on
up, get ready. I'll be right up. Okay?

Okay.

- Oh.
- Big night at the movies?

We had fun. With all the
good pictures in town...

I don't know why I let him talk me
into Space Monster Strikes Back.

Christopher seems to
be doing pretty good.

Yeah.

He seems to.

I can't be sure what's going
on on the inside, though.

Yeah.

How are things going at PGD?

Well, I haven't been
paying much attention.

- I bet you're going great guns.
- Well, I'm trying. I...

Tell you the truth, Bobby.
I miss working with you.

Uh-huh.

I got something
going that's red-hot.

Something we can both work on.

JR.

Bob, I got a way to beat Westar.

Pay them back for
everything they did.

Now, you control an enormous
quantity of Wentworth Industries stock.

Now, using that, combined
with our own resources...

we can bring Westar
tumbling down.

Not interested.

What are you talking about?
They cost us Daddy's company.

You gonna stand around
and let them lord it over us.

They didn't cost us Daddy's
company, J.R., you did.

And I was gonna sell
my shares anyway.

If you wanna fight them,
you go right on ahead.

But you're gonna do it without me
and without my Wentworth stock.

Good night.

I tried to do it the
right way, Bobby.

I really did.

Cliff, Lea Wakefield is here.

Mm-hm.

Send him in.

Hello, Leo.

What's on your mind?

Same old thing, Mr. Barnes.

More checks for
additional drilling cost.

Two thousand more feet of pipe and casing,
another rod drill-bit, insurance, wages.

All those men, $50
an hour a piece.

And I'm sure I don't
have to remind you...

that you've already invested
over $1 million just to start drilling.

No, you don't have to remind me.

Now, listen, we've got the money,
right? I mean, I can afford this.

You could afford to buy the Queen
Mary and put it in Lake Ray Hubbard.

But I don't think you'd do that.

In your strange way, are you
trying to tell me something?

Yes, sir.

Ten days ago you said you'd
give Mr. Dandridge one more week.

Is this to go on forever?

No, it's not to go on forever.

No.

And I wanna thank you for your
cheery words and your support.

I'll be back next week...

with more bills probably.

Get out, Leo.

Jackie, get me a helicopter.
I'm going to the drill site.

I've decided to leave Dallas.

What?

I only came here to see
Christopher and now I've seen him.

And I see that he's happy.

So I just wanna pay you
for everything you've done.

I don't want you to pay me yet.

I don't think that you've
thought this through properly.

Lisa...

with all these documents...

I think that we have a
case that we can really win.

I told you,
Christopher is happy.

His father loves him.

Bobby Ewing is not his father.

Lisa...

when you contacted
me and we first talked...

you told me how much your brother
meant to you. How you always idolized him.

I did.

And even though
you were separated...

he still wrote to you,
he encouraged you.

Now, don't you think that he would
want you to go forward with this?

I don't know.

I don't know what's
right anymore.

Well, I know what's right.

Your brother, Jeff. Was
Christopher's natural father.

And I know that he would
want you to have him.

- Mr. Barnes.
- How's it going?

Well, we're down
nearly 5000 feet, sir.

Yeah, you come up with
anything that looks good?

Well, not to me. The deeper
we go down, the more junk we hit.

Well, what does
Dandy say about it?

Look, I don't care what the old man
says. There ain't no oil down there.

Now, we gonna hit
China before we hit oil.

Okay, where is he?
I need to talk to him.

Well, he ain't here.

Where is he? Still sick?

No, not exactly, sir.

Mr. Barnes, I kind of
like the crazy old kook.

- We||, he's in jail, sir.
- He's in jail?

Yeah, he went into town last
night and he really tied one on.

Hell, he tried to take
on a bar full of citizens.

They'd arrested him
for drunk and disorderly.

Keep drilling for the rest of the
day and it you don't hit anything...

tomorrow, you shut it
down and you pack it up.

Oh, well.

When you suggested dinner, I had
no idea this is what you had in mind.

Disappointed?

No, hardly. I'm
just a little curious.

Restaurants are so crowded.

It's difficult to have
an intimate discussion.

So you have this
little place on tap, huh?

Wilson travels a great deal.

Sometimes I don't feel like driving
home so I keep this on a full-time basis.

Is this one of the nights
Wilson is traveling?

Does it matter?

Not really.

What do you know about me?

Well, not a lot.

But I'm willing to find out.

I, on the other hand, know
a great deal about you.

You're practically a legend
amongst the women of Dallas.

Really?

I've always been attracted
to men of strength, power.

Men who do what they
have to to get what they want.

I've always been very attracted to women
who know what they want and go after it.

How nice.

I wonder if all the wonderful things I've
heard about you could possibly be true.

Well, I was a pretty fair
long-distance runner in my time.

Not any longer?

My wife and I are very
happy with each other now.

Wilson and I are very
happy with each other.

So what?

So I'm faithful to her.

Is there anything more important
to you than revenge on Westar?

Go on.

You told me this sad story
about Casey Denault...

which I passed onto my husband.

That's what you
intended, isn't it?

Very perceptive.

If I choose...

I can help you fight Westar.

Why would you do that?

Your husband is
the new chairman.

Perhaps I'd like to see
the two of you in combat.

See who really is the strongest.

Winner take all.

What would you want in return?

Nothing you wouldn't like.

I promise.

I give you what you want...

I get what I want.

Next on Dallas:

- J.R., you remembered my private number.
- I'd like to see you tonight.

I'm not paying to drill any
deeper. It's over. Give me that gun.

I'll give you the gun.
Right between the eyes.

Trying to get to me through him?

- Why would I do that?
- I don't know. Tell me.

Are you telling me
we're gonna strike it rich?

Rich and powerful.

I'm not supposed to get into cars
with strangers. Neither are you.

Come on, you're
the one in a hurry.
