Dallas (1978–1991): Season 11, Episode 12 - Brothers and Sons - full transcript

With Bobby as best man, Ray and Jenna finally exchange wedding vows. The wedding day finds Christopher struggling with the discovery of the identity of Lucas's father, while Jenna pines over past feelings for Bobby.

Last on Dallas:

Enough about Cliff Barnes. Let's talk
about two more exciting people, you and me.

Keep drilling!

Shut up! Just shut the hell up!

I feel sorry for Christopher.
I care about him.

He's got a family who cares. He
doesn't need somebody following him.

- You're talking like you know him well.
- I do. He's my father.

And he owns 14
percent of Westar?

- Heh, heh. You okay?
- Yeah.

Oh, boy, oh, boy.
How's your head, huh?

No better than yours.



Well.

I guess that's that, huh?

What can I say?

There's not much to say.

I let you down.

No, you didn't.

Mm-mm. You told me
there was oil there. Mm-hm.

You just didn't tell me
there was only 14 quarts.

I could have
sworn. I'm real sorry.

I've been looking
for you two for hours.

I bet he's been
looking for his money.

Oh, I'll get my money,
all right. Especially now.

Why don't you all just slice down that
coffee and, uh, wash off your brains?

Because I got something
important to say.



Now, yesterday
afternoon, after the strike...

Strike?

Why, there's no more than a
pimple full of oil on that ground.

No, but, uh, it
piqued my interest.

So I had a friend of mine
come out and do a drill stem test.

Damn it! I don't want
any more testing going on.

Well, how would you like
to have some natural gas?

Because that's what we found.

What?

We found what looks like the
biggest pocket of natural gas...

East Texas has ever seen.

- We did it.
- I'll be damned. Do you believe that?

We did it.

Good morning.

Good morning.

I didn't know whether to
come down here this morning...

or to take a plane back to
Dallas, or to, uh, simply disappear.

I feel so foolish about
what happened last night.

There's no reason to.

- Sit down.
- Thank you.

Like some coffee?

- Yes, please.
- Black?

Mm-hm.

I can't thank you enough for not
taking advantage of my, uh, situation.

You don't know me very well.

But I'm beginning to.

I just felt so betrayed.

Things have been so good
between me and J.R. this year.

I started to, uh, trust
him and believe him.

And I really felt that he believed
in us and believed in our marriage.

And then he goes off
with another woman.

I guess...

I guess I just wanted to
get back at him last night.

That's all.

Sue Ellen, I understand.

You must have been shocked.

I mean, you and I have done
practically nothing else but bicker...

since the day we met.

And then last night, I, uh...

I just threw myself
in your arms.

I'm not complaining.

Only it could have been anybody.

Ha, ha. Now, there's
flattery for you.

Ha, ha. You were just in the
wrong place at the wrong time.

Maybe it was the wrong
place and the wrong time.

Under different
circumstances, I might have...

Well, anyway, it's
over. It's behind us.

We have an
enterprise to get going.

A store opening tomorrow night.

Am I right?

Yeah, we do.

Sue Ellen, you're
a stunning woman.

Any husband who doesn't
play it straight with you is a fool.

Obviously, he's just a...

Obviously. He doesn't
realize what he's got.

Oh, you bet it's in place.

Cryder's giving us 2.5 million
shares of Westar preferred...

just for Marilee's
dinky little company.

Two-point-five.

- Well, that's good. That's very good.
- Well, thank you. I think so too.

But Westar is a
pretty big company.

I can't see how two-and-a-half-million
shares is gonna give you much.

Well, like the story goes...

penny here, penny there,
pretty soon it adds up to a nickel.

I guess I agree with that.

Anyway, my cut...

Now, wait a minute,
you already got your cut.

Heh, heh. I beg your pardon?

A deal is both a buy and a sell.

Now, I gave you your out up-front
when you bought from Marilee.

Whoa, now you wait a minute.

Isn't it a little greedy to want
1 percent of the sale too?

No, uh-uh.

We never talked
about anything like this.

The 1 percent is little
enough for what I'm doing.

If you think I'm gonna stand by
and let you cheat me out of half...

That's pretty strong words, son.

Know how much money I could've made
if I'd clued Clyde! in on what you wanted?

But I didn't, did I? No, sir. I
played it straight with you...

and now you're gonna
give me every penny I'm due.

You're getting your poker
face all wrinkled up. Here.

What is that?

Well, it's your 1 percent. You
didn't think I was gonna cheat you.

I was just giving
you a little test. I've

been trying to find
out if you're a fighter.

I figured if you're
not gonna fight for

what's yours, you won't
fight for what's mine.

Boy, you really had me
going there for a minute.

Now, you're doing
just fine, son. Just fine.

Uh, as a matter of fact, besides
the check in that envelope...

there's some information on
a company called Brinker Oil.

I want you to read up on it because we're
gonna move on it in a couple of weeks.

And then sell it to Westar?

Mm-mm. No, this is a good one.

This is a keeper.

Gentlemen, I can seat
you now. Your table's ready.

Yes, Phyllis?

Bobby, Mr. Hawk is here.

Hawk.

Show him in.

- Ha, ha. Hello, Bobby. How are you?
- Ha, ha.

- Not bad. How about you?
- Just great.

Well, come on in. I know
it's a little early in the day...

- but how about a drink?
- Oh. You're right, it is.

I've been cutting down anyways.

Yeah, well, uh,
maybe I should too.

- Sit down. Sit down.
- Ha, ha. Thank you.

Listen, I only see you once in a blue
moon. What's the occasion this time?

Well, I got a business
proposition for you.

Is that right?

- You're coming into the oil business?
- No, I'm still a developer.

Besides, the oil business is in
pretty sorry shape these days.

Yeah, tell me about it.

Yeah, that's why I thought
of you for this project I've got.

See, me and a couple
of partners got a real

nice piece of land out
there by Las Colinas.

We got our water and our power
in and we wanna start building.

Building what?

Well, we got plans to develop
a whole miniature city out there.

Office complex, hotel. Sports
and entertainment center.

It's a major project, Bobby.

It's gonna be real nice.

Okay.

Well, the point is we want
you to come in with us.

I don't know the first
thing about building cities.

You don't have
to, that's my job.

We're looking for a couple extra
partners to put up some investment capital.

I know things aren't going
too good for you these days.

Well, the oil business
is a little slow, that's all.

From what I hear, it's dead.

Let me take you out to lunch.
I'll give you details. Are you free?

For lunch? Uh...

Yeah, I guess I am.

See?

If the oil business was in
decent shape, you wouldn't be.

Boy, you are some
kind of salesman.

I got a damn good product.

If I had time
today, I'd take you...

but, on the other hand, maybe
it's better you go there alone.

Take a look at
that land yourself.

- I'd like to see a plan first.
- I'll have one tonight.

All right.

Well, what do you wanna eat?

Hey there. Hey there.

- Hey there.
- Hi.

Oh. You startled me.

- I'm sorry, I didn't mean to.
- Hey. Hey.

Hi there, Lucas.

Big boy. Hey.

It won't be long now.

Oh. I've just been
thinking about who to invite.

Mm. There aren't
too many people.

Clayton, Miss
Ellie, some friends.

Well, I sure am glad we decided to have
the wedding here instead of Southfork.

Why?

I mean, I feel the same
way, but why do you say that?

Well, you never would
have felt right there, Jenna.

Neither would I. I never have.

Besides, if we have the
wedding here in our own home...

we can invite whoever we want.

Sue Ellen, J.R...

the children.

Ray.

Bobby.

Oh, Ray.

Jenna, I want Bobby
to be my best man.

What?

Now, if you're against this, I won't force
it, but I want you to hear me out, please.

Ray, after all that's happened?

Jenna, we have a
real opportunity here.

By making Bobby my best man, we
can say loud and clear to everyone...

that whatever happened
between you and him before...

it's over and done with.

It is, isn't it?

Well, of course it is.

But why do we have to
make such a statement?

Because we're the
only ones that can.

Jenna, honey, come on.

We have a whole beautiful,
wonderful life to look forward to.

Let's start it off
on the right foot.

I won't be too late,
Wilson. I promise.

It's just things are taking a
little longer than I expected.

Yes, you go on to sleep.

I'll try not to wake
you when I come in.

I love you too.

Good night.

You're good.

Very, very good.

Heh, heh. I am good.

I learned so many
things from my daddy.

Yeah.

You know, I can understand why
your husband wanted to many you.

But I cannot, for the life of me, figure
out what you saw in him. I just can't.

Oh, Wilson has great potential.

He may not be
the lion you are...

but he has his own ways.

He's more like a black mamba.

- The snake?
- Mm-hm.

Some of them aren't very big...

but in Africa once, I
saw one bite a lion.

That poor beast was dead...

just like that.

Is that what Wilson's doing now?

Using your daddy's backing
to kill 0” Jeremy Wendell?

What makes you think my
daddy's backing Wilson?

He doesn't especially like him.

Wilson wouldn't be where he is
today without your daddy's backing.

That's for sure.

Ha, ha. Daddy is
such a funny old soul.

You never can tell
who he's gonna back.

Except for his little girl, huh?

Mm-hm. I do have a
certain influence over him.

Yeah, I bet you do.

Oh, gosh.

Texas belles and their
ever-loving daddies.

Why is it I keep
thinking that you're"?

Well, you have something to do
with his being married six times.

Oh, that's not a fair
question. I take it back.

Now, if push came to shove...

who do you think your
daddy would back...

Wilson 01 Jeremy Wendell?

The stronger one as always.

What happens if somebody comes along
that's stronger than either one of them?

Who could be stronger
than either one of them?

Heh.

Has it ever crossed your mind...

that after every time I've been with
you that I might go back to Wilson...

tell him what we talked
about and what we did?

Yes, it's crossed my mind,
but I don't think you'd do that.

At least not until you figured
out who would come out ahead.

You're very sure of
yourself, aren't you?

Well, if I wasn't...

you wouldn't be here
with me, would you?

Miss Stevens.

Did you get lost or something?

No, ma'am, just a lot of traffic
on the way in from the airport.

What are you doing
here in the first place?

You're supposed to be in Brooklyn
tracking down Joe Lombardi.

Yes, ma'am, I know that. Do you
mind if I sit down? It's been a long day.

Go ahead.

That was a pretty cryptic
message you left me.

I don't like that sort of thing.

Now, what is this about
these guys paying you a visit?

I had a couple of visitors. A
couple of pretty big visitors.

Wanted to know why I was
looking for this guy Lombardi.

- The police?
- I wouldn't bet on it.

I told them somebody
was paying me to look.

They wanted to know who. I
didn't figure you'd wanna get a visit...

so I said I didn't know.
I protect my clients.

I told them the job
was phoned in...

and the retainment
was bagged over in cash.

- Well, did they believe you?
- They didn't seem too concerned.

What they were concerned
about was Lombardi...

and if I had a line on
where they could find him.

Did they say why they
were looking for him?

No, they actually didn't seem to
want to take me into their confidence.

What they did say was that it I
came up with anything at all on him...

they wanted me to
contact them first.

Don't you dare.

I tried to explain that
wouldn't be ethical.

But then they explained putting me through
a meat grinder wouldn't be ethical either.

But they would be happy to
do it if I was uncooperative.

Mr. Doyle, don't you think you're
exaggerating just a wee bit here?

Lady.

I mean, is it more money
you're looking for? Is that it?

No, ma'am, you've been fair...

but I'm just a little guy. I don't
need a new car every year...

but I do need my legs...

and I'd sure rather sleep
in bed than with the fishes.

So it it's all the same to you,
I'm just gonna drop this case...

before I learn something those
guys are gonna really wanna know.

I'm sorry.

I don't know what this
Lombardi guy means to you...

but if I were you,
I'd forget him.

Those goons wouldn't think twice
about messing up a pretty face like yours.

Well, here's to number one.

- Thank you.
- You're welcome.

You know, you
really surprised me.

I didn't realize
how shy you are.

Shy?

- Who's shy?
- Huh.

When the press was talking to
me, I wanted to give you credit...

tor helping me get going,
getting everything started.

You deserve to be
photographed as much as I do.

Nobody wants to
look at my ugly face.

Ha, ha. You do not have an
ugly face, and that isn't the point.

Sue Ellen, this is your time.

People aren't interested
in the support group.

They wanna see the star.

And that's you.

But none of this would ever
have happened without you.

Don't you worry,
I'll get my reward.

But for now, I'd like
you to take the spotlight.

Okay?

You know, if things keep
going the way they're going...

I'll make the cover of
TIME before you will.

Yeah.

You probably will.

Hotel is supposed to
go right over there...

and then a multi-tiered
shopping mall with boutiques.

Ice-skating link, the
whole ball of wax.

- It's exciting.
- You think so?

Yeah, it sounds great. But
why'd you bring me along?

Well, it does look like a
good investment. I, uh...

I thought you might be looking for some
place to put your newly-found money.

Well, I appreciate
that, Bobby...

but I'm investing elsewhere.

Although it does seem like just
the kind of thing to get you involved.

Why are you laughing?

If you don't mind my saying so, you
do need to be involved with something.

I think you've been talking
to my executive assistant.

She doesn't think I'm
involved enough either.

Well, I agree with her.

Yeah, frankly, so do I.

I'm just not sure it this
is the right project for me.

I don't see why not. You
said it looks like a winner.

For one thing. It has
nothing to do with oil.

So?

I'm an oilman.

You're a businessman.

There's more to
life than oil, Bobby.

I mean, what are you in business
for? To make money, right?

You buy, you
sell, you take risks.

Hopefully. More of
them pay off than not.

That's pan of the game.

But the commodity
is not that important.

For Stockbrokers, maybe.

But I just realized how
important it is to me.

You know, from the minute you and
I got here today, I felt like a foreigner.

- Oh, come on.
- No, I'm serious.

One half hour from Southfork.

I know it sounds funny, but I
just don't feel right being here.

I wish I could pretend
to understand you.

What I'm saying is that for me,
the important thing isn't the money.

It's the commodity.

And my commodity is oil.

Maybe when my new
company gets off the ground...

and really starts
making some money...

I'll take a vacation from it
and invest in a project like this...

but not right now.

Well, okay. There's no use
hanging around here, then.

Besides, I have an
appointment for lunch.

I never realized how much
oil meant to me before.

J.R. was the oilman.

He was the one that was always
supposed to follow in Daddy's footsteps.

But when it comes right down to it, I have
just as much oil in my veins as he does.

And, you know,
I kind of like that.

I see that you do.

- We||, what's going on here?
- I'm sorry, J.R.

They brought these
in here and left them.

J.R., I just got here
myself and found this.

Yeah? What is it?

Oh, my God.

- Barnes, what are you up to now?
- Do you wanna hear the message?

No, not really, but go ahead.

Know what those
balloons are filled with?

Not hot air, which is what
you always thought I was in" of.

No, they're filled with laughing
gas. And I'm laughing my head off...

because I just made the biggest natural
gas strike in the history of Texas...

and I was sure that you would want
to be the first one to know. Ha-ha-ha.

Get rid of this garbage.

May I help you?

Yes. I'm supposed to
meet a Mr. Kate here.

Oh, yes, I've just seated
him. This way, please.

- Miss Stevens.
- I'm sorry I'm late.

I was with someone looking into a
very interesting development deal.

Can I get you
something from the bar?

- Uh, an iced tea, please.
- Thank you.

If you're contemplating
that area of investment...

we have some very
interesting projects.

Well, this was a
unique situation.

I see.

I'll have to admit, I'm delighted to be
lunching with such a lovely young client...

but I was surprised
by your invitation.

Well, I wanted to talk
to you about something...

and I thought we should
meet outside your office.

It's about my
investment adviser.

Mr. Pearce.

Yes, Mr. Pearce.

You see, he's handling quite
a great deal of my money.

I mean. We're not
talking petty cash here.

You're a very valued client and we
want you to feel comfortable with us.

Okay.

Forgive me, I'm almost
embarrassed to ask this.

Don't be.

But I feel like I wanna
know something about him.

- I mean, I'm sure he's very good.
- He's excellent.

Personally, I find him
charming, very nice...

- very bright.
- But?

Well, maybe it's
because he's so shy...

that he never seems to talk
about his background or schooling...

or anything like that.

You're very
perceptive. He is shy.

He also seems very young.

Well, I can fill you in
on a little of that. Um...

He came to us from the investment
firm of Harding and Knox...

after having spent two years
with Normanly Associates.

He finished Harvard
Business School...

before that Stanford, where
he graduated cum laude.

He's a very, very
intelligent man.

Despite his accent?

Heh. I've wondered
about that myself.

I think, originally, he must have
come from Philadelphia or New York...

but he speaks of San
Diego as home so...

Well, I've never met a
San Diegan who says:

“23rd and 3rd.“

Here you are.

Thank you.

Forgive me, I just wanted
to jet down a few notes.

- Cheers.
- Cheers.

Yeah, Bill, I'm not doing that much
drilling right now, but I will be soon.

Yeah. Ha, ha. Say,
listen, can I call you back?

All right. Bye.

Hello, darling. Just
getting in from Miami?

No, we flew in this afternoon,
but I stopped by the office.

Well, you should have called me.
I'd have picked you up. I missed you.

- Really?
- Yeah.

Well, I thought you'd be so
involved with Clyde! in the evenings...

you wouldn't know I'd been gone.

Oh, no. No, don't be silly.

How was everything in Miami?

It was brilliant.

Good.

Well, I sure am
glad you're back.

Ha, ha. Really?

I bet you are.

Now you won't have to show up
at Ray and Jenna's wedding alone.

Is something wrong?
You're kind of snippy with me.

No, no.

I'm just fine.

Everything's just fine.

Where are you going?

To take a shower.

Well, could you
use some company?

I could use a shower myself.

Why?

You feeling particularly
dirty these days?

No, it's just we haven't seen
each other in a while and I thought...

maybe we could,
uh, well, you know.

I don't think so. I
wanna shower alone.

He knows you're waiting. He'll
be with you as soon as he can.

- Barnes-Wentworth, please hold.
- Evening, Jackie.

I got a feeling he's still in.

He's in, all right. We
can't get out of here.

Hey, Jackie, that's enough.
Shut them 0”. Hi, Jordan.

You sly fox.

Trying to tell me you weren't drilling
out there in that old wino's land.

- Ha, ha. Come on in.
- No, I can't stay.

- I just dropped by to congratulate you.
- I appreciate that.

Ah, you son of a gun. You
knew I wanted a piece of that field.

But you wanted keep all
the marbles for yourself.

- You can't blame me, can you?
- No, not really.

I tell you, all Dallas is
buzzing with the news.

Tell me about it. My phones
are ringing off the hook.

Funny how many friends you
get when you come into a windfall.

I hope you're not
directing that to me.

You know, I've always stuck by
you through thick and through thin.

Jordan, I know that.

Good. Well, I'm mighty happy
for you. You're a real oilman, Cliff.

You developed
the Tundra Torque...

you, uh, brought in the Gold
Canyon 340 and now this.

You're a man I'm proud
to do business with...

and will again soon, I hope.

I'm sure we will. Thanks
for stopping by, Jordan.

- Good night, Jackie.
- Mr. Lee.

- Can I go home too?
- Yeah, go. Yeah.

I appreciate your staying
late. Thanks for hanging in.

Where is that son of a...?

Wait a minute, you
can't go in there.

- Watch me.
- Unh.

You lousy, rotten...

- How could you do that?
- Dandy, what's the matter?

I'll tell you what's the
matter, you miserable...

I went down to the tax office
and found out what you did.

Come, sit down, let
me get you a drink.

I don't want a drink from you!

Well, tell me why
you're so riled up.

- As if you didn't know.
- I don't know.

The tax people do. They told me you bought
my land right out from underneath me.

Well, they're full of baloney. I didn't
buy your land, I just paid your taxes off.

Sure, so you could stick your
name on it, you conniving little runt.

If I were a couple of years younger,
I'd throw you right out the window!

- Would you sit down and let me explain?
- I don't want any explanation from you.

I don't want anything
from you anymore.

I bet your daddy's
real proud of you now.

Dandy.

Dandy.

Dandy. Da...

- Don't. Ha, ha.
- Ha, ha.

Don't.

Ha, ha.

Don't what?

So do you always, uh...

pick up your dates in a limo?

Daddy likes to make
sure I get home safely...

- especially when I've been drinking.
- Ha, ha.

I thought maybe you
were trying to impress me.

Oh, really? That's funny, we
all were thinking that about you.

You see a lot of guys in the group are
beginning to think you're just a blowhard.

I mean, you get everybody
all hot and bothered...

about forming
this little cartel...

and what happened?

I don't know. What happened?

Nothing, that's just it.

- And you promised us some great deals.
- Don't you think I'm working on it?

I don't know. We didn't
know what you are doing.

You just left us
twiddling our thumbs.

And you got such pretty thumbs.

I'm serious.

We thought we'd be
into some action by now.

Well, it's funny you mention it.

But I just got wind of a
real gem of a company...

and I'm starting
to look into it.

- Yeah?
- Mm-hm.

I thought about holding on
to it for two or three months...

- double our money, maybe more.
- Uh-huh.

- Really?
- Yeah.

I'm supposed to buy
it for somebody else...

but I'm getting kind of tired
of doing other people's favors.

I think it's time I made
a move for myself.

Uh-huh.

- Don't you?
- We||...

as long as you
include your friends.

You are going to
let us in, aren't you?

Well, I don't know.

You think it's worth it to me?

It will be.

Starting now.

Mama, how long is this gonna
take? I've got things to do.

J.R., don't start. This
is Ray and Jenna's day.

- I don't want anything to spoil it.
- I'll behave myself.

- Please.
- I will.

- Hi, Dick.
- Hi, Ray.

Congratulations.
- Thank you very much. Come right on in.

- Hi.
- Hello.

Well, how you holding up?

Well, I'm gonna be okay.

I know you will
be. You both will.

Ray, I wanted to tell you that I
meant everything I said the other day.

I wish you and Jenna all
the happiness in the world.

Thanks a lot, Bob.
That means a lot to me.

And I appreciate you asking
me to be your best man.

It means a lot to me.

- He||o, Clayton.
- I'm real proud of you guys.

I'll buy you a drink. Let's
get this thing started, huh?

- He needs a lot of drinks.
- Yes, he does.

How do you like him?

He's just a baby.

Well, sure, he is.
What did you expect?

You know, in a way. You
and I are sort of related now.

Huh?

Lucas is my half
brother and yours too.

My mom is his mom
and Bobby is his daddy.

His...?

You knew, didn't you?

Oh. Yeah, sure.
Of course I knew.

Come on, you two,
downstairs. We're starting.

Oh, I've gotta go.

Christopher, are you all right?

Yeah, I'm okay.

Well, then come on.

You can start the music now.

All right, she's ready.

April.

Nick, what a surprise.

Just who the hell do you think you are
talking to John Kate behind my back?

- I beg your pardon?
- Asking him all sorts of questions...

about my personal life.

Well, he is the president
of your company...

and I've just let you handle
millions of dollars of my money.

Lady, you don't let
me handle anything.

You asked to employ my services
and that's what you get is my services.

Not my history, not
my life and nothing else.

Wait a minute. I don't
have to stand for this.

No, I don't have to stand
for you prying into my affairs.

Now, you can buy your stock...

and do your business with
any brokerage you want.

If you wanna do business with me, you stay
out of my personal life. Is that clear?

I think so.

Good.

From this day forward.

From this day forward.

Till death do you part.

Till death do us part.

Join your right hands, please.

In as much as you have agreed
to live together in holy matrimony...

and have pledged your
faith in one another...

by repeating these vows...

by the authority vested in me, I
now pronounce you husband and wife.

Whom God has joined
together let no man put asunder.

You may kiss the bride.

It was a lovely wedding.

- It was small but very nice.
- I'll see them at the barbecue tomorrow.

No, you won't. They're
still on their honeymoon.

- We're so proud of you.
- Really?

Do you know how many girls wished
they had the guts to do what you did?

And, of course, none of us
dreamed you'd ever be so successful.

Ha, ha. Well, I have
been very lucky.

Let me borrow Sue Ellen for
a minute, would you, please?

Excuse us. Where are we going?

It's been so long since you've
been to one of our meetings.

- You haven't met the new members.
- I know.

There's one I've got to
introduce you to. Kimberly.

Would you excuse me a minute?

- He||o.
- Sue Ellen...

I'd like you to meet Kimberly
Cryder. Kimberly, Sue Ellen Ewing.

Now, just because your
husbands happen to be at war...

doesn't mean we girls
can't be friends, right?

Absolutely.

It's lovely to meet
you, Sue Ellen.

I have the distinct impression that
I've seen you somewhere before.

Really?

Hey, Christopher, why don't we go find
Charlie and see if she wants to go riding?

I don't want to.

- Here you go, Mr. Pearce.
- Thank you.

You sure you won't
have anything?

- Uh, no, thank you. Maybe later.
- Okay. Enjoy.

- Bye.
- Thank you.

Look who's here.

Nick, will you come
with me for a minute?

You never will get my
name straight, will you?

Oh, I'm sorry.

Nicholas.

- Hi, Kelly.
- Hi, Mrs. Ewing.

- How are you?
- Great.

- You remember Mr. Pearce, don't you?
- Hi.

- Are you having fun?
- Really fun. Thank you.

There's lots of
food and dancing.

- I'll see you later.
- Okay.

Bye.

Kimberly, how
nice of you to come.

I'm delighted to be here.

But where's your husband?
Don't tell me you left him at home.

Oh, Texas cookouts just
simply aren't Wilson's style.

Too bad.

Kimberly, I'd like you to meet a business
associate and a very good friend of mine...

Nicholas Pearce.
Nicholas, Kimberly Cryder.

- How do you do?
- How do you do?

Clyde! of Westar?

My husband has something
to do with the company.

So I hear.

You know your granddaddy is just about the
best oilman I ever worked with. I love...

Honey, you know you ought to
go find somebody your own age.

- Maybe I'll see you later, J.R.
- Uh-huh. Yeah.

Shame on you.

You get those
balloons I sent you?

Barnes, this is a Ewing
Barbecue. Who invited you?

Well, I thought you did.
Help me celebrate my strike.

Ha-ha-ha. Golly, well, you may
have stumbled onto that gas find...

but you will lose it just as
sure as your name is Barnes.

Like you lost Ewing
Oil, huh? Ha, ha.

- Yeah, he's making you laugh, isn't he?
- Yes.

Barnes.

- Take it away.
- Don't touch me.

- Clayton, take it away.
- Let me have that.

- Let me have that.
- It's all right. Just a misunderstanding.

Oh, for God's sakes, Dandy.

You think I can forget
what you've done to me?

- A man doesn't forget something like that.
- What did he do, old man?

He stole my land out from
under me and struck it rich.

Dandy, I tried to explain that.

You better explain and
straighten this thing out.

The only thing that'll straighten
him out is a bullet. Give me that gun!

Look, Dandy,
come on, let's talk.

I didn't think you could be so
greedy. Why'd you steal my land?

I didn't steal your
land. The land is yours.

Come on, come on.

Let me run this whole
thing by you again, come on.

Come on.

Where did you get that gun?

Really good. I'm not kidding.
Ha, ha. You did a good job.

Excuse me.

Excuse me, darling. Uh, there's a
guest that I'm sure you'd like to meet.

- Oh, yeah? See you.
- Come on.

I know you've had dinner with
her husband several times...

- but you've never mentioned her.
- No?

She's right there.

Hey.

Excuse me. Kimberly.

I'd like to introduce
you to my husband.

J.R., Mrs. Wilson Cryder.

My husband has told
me so much about you.

Has he?

Yes, and, you know. They've
had all these meetings without us.

I think the next one
should be a foursome.

Uh, maybe something
a little more social.

- Wouldn't that be nice?
- Yes.

Who knows, maybe we
could all become friends?

- Why don't you show Kimberly around?
- Oh, sure. I'd love to.

- Would you? Oh, thank you.
- Sure.

What the hell are
you doing here?

Well, I've just heard so much
about the famous Ewing Barbecue...

I just didn't see
how I could miss it.

Your wife is a very
fascinating woman.

I didn't picture her like that.

What was all that about?

It's called setting a stage.

I never gave a hoot about money.

I was born without a dime
and I'll probably die that way.

You won't, because I'm gonna be
sending a royalty check to you every month.

Look, I know what you
said, but that wasn't my point.

You see, all that mattered...

was that folks knew that
I counted for something...

and I wasn't just a windbag
blowing off his mouth.

It's the same thing that
mattered to your daddy.

They're gonna
know about it now...

because I'm gonna name
that field Barnes-Dandridge.

Barnes-Dandridge?

That's what I'm gonna call it.

Look, I know you're
gonna be thinking offices.

But wherever you go...

I want you to carry
my business card...

because that is your
permanent home.

Thanks, kid.

It really makes me feel good.

Well, we did it, Dandy.

You and me.

We sure did.

Hey, pal.

What's the matter?

Nothing.

Come on, don't
tell me “nothing.“

You don't usually sit around here
with your face dragging on the ground.

Lisa.

Hi, Christopher.

Christopher, get over here.

I can't believe you've
shown up here again.

I'm sorry about this, Bobby.

- Mr. Ewing?
- Yeah?

Who is this?
What's this all about?

I never wanted it
to happen like this.

I just wanted to befriends
and to see Christopher.

But you wouldn't allow that.

This is legal notice that Lisa Alden
here, the sister of Jeff Farraday...

who was the natural father
of Christopher Ewing...

is suing you for
custody of the boy.

What?

Next on Dallas:

- Mom.
- Are you trying to get me in trouble?

Not any more than you
are with my husband.

You don't love me. You love Lucas.
You're gonna let them take me away.

I'm going to stay with J.R. until I find
out what it is that will hurt him the most.

Well, if it's not too
late, I'd like to make

peace. I'd like to
ask you to forgive me.

- You're not hurting anybody, are you?
- Let's say I'm repaying old debts.

Honey, you are
breaking my heart.

I will when I win this case.
