Dallas (1978–1991): Season 11, Episode 16 - Marriage on the Rocks - full transcript

J.R. and Sue Ellen's marriage takes a turn for the worse after Kimberly leaves her spouse and demands that J.R. follow suit.

Last on Dallas:

Poor Wilson.

He was so happy married to me.

Why don't you head
back to Oklahoma.

You're dead in Dallas.

All I dreamed about
was being married to you.

I loved you so much. I still do.

- What do you want?
- I wanna look in your eyes...

and no! see JR. (have.

I thought you of all people
would understand that.

Could somebody buy you off if
you could get your sister back?



Cliff Barnes is gonna find
out how much it'll cost...

to put his pipeline across
this little piece of property.

J.R., it's your private line.

- He||o?
- He||o, J.R.

Well, Kimberly, what a surprise.

It shouldn't be. You
and I had a deal.

Hell, I never thought
of it as a deal.

Well, let's say it's part
of our business venture.

Your return to power...

so to speak.

And how is our deal going?

I performed my act of faith.

Is that a fact?

Very definitely.



Wilson has moved out.
He's living at the club.

Divorce?

It's in the works.

Now, my darling. The
ball is in your court.

Yeah, so it is.

I'll talk to you soon.

Good night.

Good night.

Oh, boy.

Honey, will you pass
that gravy down here?

Sure.

- Thank you.
- Mm-hm.

I, uh...

That's good.

I'm thinking about buying that 10
acres of land that Buford wanted to sell.

Well, I thought you
said the price was high.

Well, it is, a little...

but I can use
the pasture land...

and Buford's a little
short on money right now.

Well, why not?

Nothing wrong with
helping out a friend.

Charlie, you're not eating.

- I'm not hungry.
- Are you sick?

No, I'm just not hungry.

Can I leave the table now?

Honey, I mean, if
there's anything wrong...

Nothing's wrong.

Can I go now?

Okay.

Teenagers. You never
know what they're thinking.

Yeah, I know.

I caught her in the barn
earlier today with Randy.

What do you mean you caught her?

Well...

she and Randy were getting
pretty serious out there.

Ray, why didn't you tell me?

Because you were busy
with the baby and then dinner.

I just thought I'd wait until we
could sit down and talk this out.

This is terrible. I'll go
talk to her right now.

Hold on. Don't rush
up there all angry now.

- I don't think that's a very good idea.
- She's my child.

She's my stepdaughter.

She's our child now.

I just think she needs to understand
all of this from a father's point of view.

You wanna talk to her about sex?

Well, it I'm gonna be a father to
her, I better start acting like one.

Does that bother you?

No, it doesn't
bother me, it's just...

For so long...

I've always done
everything alone.

Come here.

That's over.

Are you gonna talk to her now?

No.

Let things cool down a bit.

Maybe tomorrow.

I wanna talk to her,
not fight with her.

You're very special.

J.R., I'm surprised.

I really am surprised.

I'd heard you and Sue Ellen were
getting Lovebird of the Year award.

Josh, you know better
than most that an outsider...

can really never know
what goes on with a couple.

Yeah. You're right about that.

Well, I guess I've handled more than
my share of the top divorces in this town.

You should have come
to me with your last one.

If I recall, you made Sue Ellen
an independently wealthy woman...

and you lost
custody of your son.

Yeah, well, that's true.

But at the time,
I was worried...

with how the scandal was gonna affect
my mama if I pulled out all the stops.

Now, J.R...

let me level with you.

That's the only way
I handle a divorce...

pull out all the stops
and let the dirt fly.

My clients win and they win big.

I know. That's why I'm here.

You want me to call my secretary
in here and start taking some notes?

No, no, I'm not ready
to take that step today.

- There's something I gotta know.
- Shoot.

I don't care if Sue Ellen
walks away with money.

That's not gonna put
me in the poorhouse.

But I want custody of my son.

Now, what are my
chances of getting that?

Sue Ellen still drinking?

No, she hasn't had
a drink in a long time.

You're sure?

I'd know if she was.

She belong to AA or any of
those other organizations?

Is she on any kind of
program for alcoholics?

No.

Stopped by herself, did she?

That's right.

It sure wouldn't
hurt your chances...

if Sue Ellen started
drinking again, now, would it?

J.R., Sue Ellen has got a lousy history. I
did a little checking after you called me.

And?

Well, your son's older now.

It's more natural for
him to be with his father.

J.R., I'd say your chances are
better than fifty-fifty of getting custody.

And that's conservative.

Realistically. I think
it's a lot higher than that.

Well...

those are odds I
think I can play with.

We", give me a call when
you get ready to move.

But remember, you're gonna
have to get down deep and dirty.

To keep my son, I'll get down
as deep and as dirty as I have to.

I have big plans for his future.

I'm gonna teach him
everything I know.

That boy's lucky to
have a father like you.

I know.

Thank you. Bye.

Leave it at the door, please.

I said you could
leave it at the door.

What part would you like
me to leave at the door?

I called your office and they said
you were working at home today.

Look, Sue Ellen, I thought I made
my feelings very clear about us.

Frankly, I'm kind of puzzled
as to why you're even here...

especially after our
talk the other day.

We didn't talk. You
talked. I listened.

Right.

So now you want me to listen.

Okay.

I'll listen.

- Come on in.
- Thanks.

Nicholas...

I couldn't bear the thought
of never seeing you again.

You are very important to
me and I need you as a friend.

Yeah, well, I don't know
if I can be just a friend.

Look, Sue Ellen, with me and women,
it was always romance or nothing...

unless it was business.

But in your case...

I'm willing to give it a try.

One day at a time?

How about hour-to-hour?

Why don't you have a seat?

So talk fast.

Are you ready to leave J.R.?

No, not yet.

I'm not ready to go through
the trauma of a divorce again...

not unless I can
accomplish something.

Oh, but you would.

Yeah, you'd be getting
JR. Cm of you! hair.

Something has been puzzling me.

Sue Ellen, you are one of the
most beautiful women I know.

I don't understand Kimberly
Cryder's appeal to J.R.

Unless...

it's part of J.R.'s
move to control Westar.

Well...

I underestimated you.

It all fits.

J.R. got April Stevens to
invest heavily in Westar stock.

And now another company
is buying Westar too.

And I think that
there's a connection.

The other owner is a woman.

And her name...

is Sylvia Lovegren.

Sly.

You know her?

She's J.R.'s secretary.

It's a dummy corporation.
That makes sense.

They took over Ewing Oil. Now
J.R.'s trying to get it back from them.

But for J.R. to put his
marriage to you on the line?

For J.R., business
always comes first.

I always heard
that J.R. was tough.

But I didn't realize
that he was such a fool.

Leave it at the door, please.

I guess they want
me to sign for it, huh?

Maybe it's better after all.

Yeah. Maybe.

- Yeah?
- Mr. Pearce?

That's me.

- Is that it?
- That's it.

- Thank you.
- You're welcome.

I think our hour is up.

Lisa.

- I don't wanna talk.
- I wanna talk.

I don't like having a
door slammed in my face.

This is harassment.

What are you doing
to Christopher?

What I'm doing. I'm
doing because I love him.

You hardly know him.

What you're doing is
frightening a 6-year-old boy.

- Is that love?
- I don't wanna discuss it.

Right. Because you don't love him.
You have some sick obsession about him.

No, you don't hang that on me.

I do love him.

He's my blood, Bobby.
He's my brother's son.

Right. And you got him
so he can't sleep at night.

He's getting into fights. You've
turned his world upside down.

You don't even know the
meaning of the word love.

Why are you saying these things
to me? Are you trying to frighten me?

Lady, I don't care
anything about you.

I just want you to know you're
never gonna get Christopher from me.

You bought my brother's
son, Bobby Ewing.

- That's against the law.
- He sold him to me. What do you call that?

Let go of me.

Unless, of course, you
intend to beat me up.

What's wrong with you?

While you were at lunch, J.R.
barged in here looking for you.

- Where did he go?
- In your office. I couldn't stop him.

What? Damn it.

- Can I go to lunch now?
- Go, go.

J.R., what are
you doing in here?

You know. For a man of
your moderate success...

you sure have a tacky office.

This chair is the most
uncomfortable thing I've ever satin.

Well, thank you.

Now that you've appraised my office
furniture, you wanna go through my files?

Oh, don't need to. Your business
dealings are an open book.

But I didn't come
here to fight with you.

No, you just came here
to run down my office, huh?

You needed your kicks, couldn't find
any widows to cheat out of their pension?

I came here to save your butt...

and the butt of every
independent oilman in Dallas.

Well, gully, I think I ought to
hear this. J.R., the philanthropist.

- What do you get out of it?
- Revenge.

Against?

Westar.

They shutdown Ewing Oil...

and they just bought Andy
Bradley's little company.

Now, you have some major assets.

That gas well for one,
and Gold Canyon 340.

They're gonna be coming after you
real soon. Well, get small, Barnes.

With Ewing Oil out of the picture, all
the independents are gonna be fair game.

Yeah, what do you want me to do?

Combine with me. Between the
two of us, we can stop Westar.

There is a way to
topple even that giant.

Are you crazy? You want
me to go in business with you?

I'd rather get in bed
with the Ayatollah.

Well, I'm warning you. There's
trouble coming your way.

Hey, please, please. Just
give me credit, will you?

I mean, I have learned one
thing after all these years...

and that is that I never do
business with J.R. Ewing.

You're gonna be hanging on my
door, begging to do business with me.

Never.

Never say never.

Charlie?

I have a lot of homework.

It'll wait.

Come on in and sit down.

I'd like to talk...

about you and Randy.

Now?

Yeah.

Now that we've all had a little
chance to cool down some.

Nothing happened.

Well, see, that's
the problem, honey...

because even though you may not have
had sex with Randy, something did happen.

I don't understand.

Well, I know that, honey. That's
why we're gonna have this discussion.

How do you feel about Randy?

I don't know.

He's awfully cute.

That's not much of an answer.

No, I guess not.

Yet from what I saw, you were...

You were going pretty far with a
guy you weren't too sure about.

You know, it's just like we
started and then we kept going.

Well, now, see that, that's
the problem there. That's it.

See...

It takes a certain amount of
maturity to learn how to deal with sex.

It's not just physical...

it's feelings too.

And it can make you feel
very good about yourself.

Or it can make you feel lousy.

It can make you pregnant.

Even the first time.

So, what are you saying? I should
wait till I grow up and get married?

Yeah, that'd be a great idea.

No, what I'm
saying is that it's...

It's just a lot better it you wait until
you really care about someone...

or you're really in love.

Are you telling me you that you never went
to bed with a woman you didn't care about?

Yeah, okay, I did.

But that was a long time
before I ever heard about AIDS.

And usually. It was because
I had too much to drink...

we||, mostly, I felt
lousy the next day.

I tell you, more important
than that, though...

is a couple of days went by...

I forgot who they were.
I forget their names.

Is that the kind of
girl you wanna be?

A girl everyone just forgets
about in a couple of days?

That's not what I want for you and I know
that's not what your mama wants for you.

What you want?

What my mother wants?

What about what I want?

What about that?

Hi, Laurel.

Hi.

- Nice coat.
- Yeah.

- English, you know.
- Yes, I know.

Did I catch you at a bad time?

Well, I do have to
make my deliveries.

You deliver yourself?

Well, you don't think I'd let
anybody else touch them, do you?

No, I suppose not.

Does that mean you
haven't got time for lunch?

Well, I'm supposed to
deliver these before they wilt.

How about tomorrow?

I can't.

Day after?

All right, see you then.

Well, wait. Where are you going?

Well, nowhere special.

Well, why don't you
ride along with me?

- We||...
- Come on. I could use the company.

I mean, I love my plants but
they're not much good for talk.

Yeah, why not? Come on.

You worry too much.

Uncle Bobby's tough.
He won't let that happen.

He says he won't, but
he'll still have one son left.

What do you mean?

Lucas is his real son.

You're crazy.

How can Lucas be Bobby's
son and live with Ray and Jenna?

That's what Charlie told me.

She's a girl.

You're gonna believe a girl or
are you gonna believe your dad?

He said it was true too.

That it didn't make any difference
about the way he felt about me.

So, what's the problem?

I don't know.

Hey, boys.

Dinner's ready. Let's go.

Great.

So are you hungry?

A little.

What is that you're
putting on, Sue Ellen?

It smells awful.

It's a new night cream.

You told me I was looking old.

I said no such thing.

It's just that you were rambling
on about Nicholas Pearce...

well, I got a little
jealous, that's all.

Yeah. I didn't know that you
could still get jealous over me.

Well, of course I can.

And I know that when people
talk about that custody trial...

it creates a little
tension between us.

After all, I was having an
affair with your sister, Kristin.

That's old news, J.R.

Well, the point is I just
haven't been a good husband.

There have been a
whole string of women.

You remember when you broke
in on Holly Haywood and me?

Well, I guess deep down...

you're gonna have to call me...

a compulsive chaser, I guess.

What is this all about?

Well, nothing, it's just...

I just want you to know
that I understand things...

from your point of view.

You've been hurt and it's
been a terrible strain on you.

And are you also telling me
that you are trying to change?

No.

I don't know if I can change.

Do you want a divorce, J.R.?

Well...

I'm just trying to tell you that I couldn't
blame you if you wanted to leave me.

Well, I...

I don't wanna leave you.

At least not yet.

Maybe someday I will.

But not now.

And I'm going to bed.

Well, I'm gonna
sit up for a while.

I can't stand the smell of that
stuff you've been putting on.

Suit yourself.

Hello, Mrs. Ewing, we've been
expecting you. Right this way.

Thank you.

Thank you.

May I bring you
something from the bar?

I don't think so. But I would
like an iced tea, please.

- Me too.
- All right.

I am so happy to see you.

I haven't had anyone
I can open up to.

Hm. Sounds like an
affair of the heart to me.

Well, it could be.

Would you like to order now?

I think we'll wait.

- Is that all right with you?
- Fine.

- Okay, let me know.
- Thank you.

So...

who's the lucky man?

Bobby.

Bobby?

Oh, that's wonderful. Have you
been seeing a lot of him lately?

Well, a little.

I have a date with him tonight.

It's just I don't know
where I stand with him.

The Ewing men.

They do have a way of
keeping you off-balance.

Do I detect a
note of bitterness?

A little, maybe.

Trouble with J.R.?

Come on. Let's talk about you. Have
you opened a chain of restaurants yet?

No.

Nicholas Pearce
talked me out of that.

Instead...

I invested in a large
amount of Westar stock.

He told me.

That's one of the
reasons I called you.

I'm puzzled. Why Westar?

A tip from your husband.

Didn't it seem a
little peculiar to you?

I mean, why would J.R. recommend
Westar when he's fighting them?

Well, it's not peculiar if he's
planning some sort of takeover...

and he wants his
friends on his side.

April, let me give you a
little warning about J.R.

When he is in a real fight...

he has no loyalty.

He'd double-cross his
friends and even his family.

Well, then I hope Nicholas
will be able to warn me in time.

Meanwhile, the stock
just keeps climbing.

You know. Nicholas is
another one of those men...

who's hard to get to know.

You've spent a lot of time with
him. What's he like with you?

Mostly business, really.

And then he suddenly says
something that makes me laugh.

And he does have
extraordinary taste.

Well, of course he does.

Look at two of his
clients. You and me.

No, I mean, in everything.

His home is
beautifully decorated.

The strange thing is...

except for one photograph
of him with his brothers...

there's no sense of family, no
feeling of where he came from.

Well, he certainly never
talked about it with me.

In this picture, what do
his brothers look like?

It's hard to tell. They
were very young.

And tell me, Sue Ellen...

what were you doing in his home?

April, it was purely business.

Mm-hm.

A woman with a
troubled marriage...

spending time in the home of
handsome Nicholas Pearce...

just business.

I don't think this is
gonna work. I can't...

All right, Lisa, just settle
down. Tell me what happened.

I had a terrible meeting with Bobby.
He stopped me on the way to the store.

- He was making all of these...
- All right, all right.

He made all of these accusations
like I was hurting Christopher.

This is very hard on me, J.R.

Did he offer you any more money?

No.

His money isn't
important anyway.

I'm getting enough from you to
make me independently wealthy.

What really concerns me...

is that he may be right.

J.R., the last thing I
ever wanted to do in

this whole world
was hurt that little boy.

Oh, of course you
don't wanna hurt him.

And you're not
doing anything wrong.

Now, you do still
believe that a child has a

right to live with his
own family, don't you?

Yes.

And to know who...

his real father was...

and his aunt...

and his roots?

I mean, you know how
strongly I feel about family.

That's why my family and I
get along so well together.

And that's why I'm willing to
back you through thick and thin.

But you gotta keep
your part of the bargain.

All right.

All right, J.R., I'll fight him.

That's the spirit.

And I just want you
to know that you and

that little boy will
never want for anything.

Thank you.

Oh, I almost forgot.

I have a date with Cliff Barnes.

Is that right? Well,
that's wonderful.

Well, it's what you wanted.

If I hear anything, how
am I gonna let you know?

Don't you worry about that.

I'll know how to find you.

Boy, I'll tell you...

I make the biggest gas
strike in whole state of Texas...

and vultures are trying
to get it away from me.

What do you mean?

Oh, I mean Wilson Cryder, he's
chairman of the board at Westar.

And he's, you know...
He's trying to buy me out.

- And?
- No, no way. No, no.

I've been over too many
roadblocks to get this company going.

Like the Ewings, for example.

Why would they interfere
with your company?

The Ewings? Oh,
they're treacherous.

- All of them?
- All of them, yeah. All of them.

Well, maybe not Miss Ellie.

Then I can count on your
support in my tight for Christopher.

No.

No, you can't.

I mean, despite what I think about the
Ewings, Christopher is still my nephew.

Well, you could still think
of him as your nephew.

No. Mm-mm.

I remember how happy my sister
was the day she brought him home.

But, Cliff, she's gone.

She could come back.

I can't do that.

- April|, look who Cliff is with.
- Who?

That's the girl who is trying to
take Christopher away from me.

Bobby, let it go. Not here.

Cliff, what are you
doing sitting with her?

Bobby, who I'm sitting with
is none of your business.

It sure is when she's
out to destroy my son.

That isn't true.

Bobby, this has got nothing
to do with Christopher.

You would do anything to
hurt a Ewing, wouldn't you?

- Even sell out your own nephew.
- Bobby, please?

Come on, let's go.

Oh, I can't believe that.

On top of all my troubles,
I have to bump into Bobby.

Oh, what else can go wrong?

How much?

How much for what?

You know what I'm talking about.
That farm out by my gas well.

I just heard you bought that weed
patch right out from under me. I want it.

Thinking of getting out of Barnes-Wentworth
and into a respectable business?

Like maybe cleaning out
cow stalls or something?

Just cut to the bottom line. I was
negotiating for that right of way.

Now, you know I need it to
get the gas out of the well.

Yeah, I know. I told you you'd
come knocking at my door.

Okay.

What's the price?

Disgustingly low.

And it's a good deal, Barnes. You
and I are gonna make a lot of money.

I want you to join me in
my fight against Westar.

And I want you to buy
massive amounts of stock.

Then I want you to sign
over the voting proxies to me.

Are you crazy?

No, I'm just trying
to help you out.

You're trying to help me out.

I can smell it. You're setting
me up for a double-cross.

No double-cross. Listen,
I need your help too.

In return for
this little favor...

you'|| get your easement rights
in perpetuity for a dollar a year.

- Your lawyer can draw up the documents.
- There's gotta be a catch.

Uh-uh. No catch. No
loopholes. Just a simple deal.

Well, I'm gonna think about it.

Well, don't think too long.

The offer expires in a week.

- Hey.
- Hello, sweetie.

- How are you?
- It's so great to see you.

- Nice to see you.
- Is everything all right?

Hi, how are you?

- Well, it looks very nice, doesn't it?
- It's beautiful.

- Hi, how are you?
- Beautiful colors...

Oh, Sue Ellen.

Oh, Kimberly.

- He||o.
- Hi.

- You remember Mavis Anderson...
- Nice to see you.

And Ellie Fallow?

- Kimberly Cryder.
- How do you do?

- You're a new member.
- Yes.

Well, will you join us?

Well, I was just going to
ask Sue Ellen to sit with me.

You know, girl talk.

Oh, yes.

Well, fine, but I don't think
you have too much time for that.

- We have a lot of work to do after lunch.
- Oh, I know.

Sue Ellen, is that all right?

Certainly.

Excuse me, Miss Ellie, Mavis.

- We'|| see you at the table.
- Bye.

This is very good of you.

I know very few women in Dallas.

And I feel especially
close to you.

You do?

Well, I believe that
I can confide in you.

Kimberly, you really
don't know me at all.

I believe I do.

And I need to talk.

Well, what's wrong?

You've been married
to J.R. for a long time.

How do you deal with a man
who puts his work before his wife?

Are you referring to J.R.
and me or to you and Wilson?

Oh, Wilson and me.

Well, you see, Wilson has
moved out of the house.

He's living at the club.

- Trial separation?
- Oh, no.

I've filed for divorce.

Then you really don't need
my advice after all, do you?

It seems that you've
already made up your mind.

Well, you see...

I keep marrying
these powerful men.

I probably will again.

I want to learn how
to hold onto one.

Do you have someone
particular in mind?

Oh, no. 01 course not.

I'm sure you'll be able to muddle
through for the next couple of months...

until you find the
man of your dreams.

You know, you're not unattractive
in an obvious sort of way.

If you'll excuse me, I
have an appointment.

Well.

- Yeah?
- Nicholas Pearce is here.

Oh, good. Bring him in.

- Nicholas, glad you could make it.
- Thank you.

This is very unexpected.

- Can I get you anything?
- No, I think we can manage.

- Thank you.
- I took the liberty of ordering up lunch.

I know you're a busy man
but we really need to talk.

You know acquisitions are my specialty.
If there's any way I can help you...

Well, that's why I called
this meeting, you know.

Dig in here. I got a new
caterer. You're gonna like it.

- Sit down.
- Thank you.

This acquisition I have in mind
is a little off your beaten path...

but I think you'll
be able to handle it.

Wouldn't have anything
to do with Westar, would it?

What would make you think that?

There's been some movement...

and you seem to know
most of the major buyers.

You're kind of jumping
to conclusions, aren't you?

No, I manage to pick up
things here and there...

and even I can
add up one and one.

I can see where your
logic is coming from.

I suppose in your dealings with
Sue Ellen in the Valentine expansion...

a few words about my difficulty with
Westar has crossed the desk, so to speak.

But I didn't ask you here to
help me take over Westar.

I have another
acquisition in mind.

Oh?

Your acquisition of my wife
is my top priority right now.

Look, J.R., I find Mrs.
Ewing quite attractive.

But I'm not in the habit of
acquiring other men's wives.

Well, I love my
wife a great deal...

but I've never been able to
make her happy. Lord knows why.

And many men have been
attracted to Sue Ellen...

but you are the only one...

that I think she
can be happy with.

Just get to the point.

Sue Ellen talks
about you incessantly.

As a man, not as her
investment banker.

Nicholas, you and
Sue Ellen are so...

right together...

that I'm prepared to
give her her freedom.

Have you talked
to her about this?

No, I thought we'd have this
little man-to-man chat first.

In this day and age, it
seems the civilized thing to do.

But it's obvious that she wants a
more intimate relationship with you.

And so I just wanted you to
know that you have my blessings.

You are everything miserable
that anyone has ever said about you.

If anything ever happens
between Sue Ellen and me...

it's gonna be
because we want it to.

Not because we
have your blessings.

Sly?

Check around the floor, see it some
of the girls wanna finish this lunch.

It's a shame to
have it go to waste.

Oh, I had a lot of
power in San Angelo.

But my real political clout
was in San Remo County...

where the Southern
Cross Ranch was located.

Sometimes I wish
I hadn't sold it.

Well, so why did you?

Oh, I got to spending
more time in Dallas...

and traveling
became inconvenient...

and finally, I felt I
was out of power when

they elected a sheriff
that I didn't control.

Is that how the rich and
powerful live in Texas?

Controlling politicians?

Laurel, that's the way the rich
and powerful live everywhere.

But my son, he would
have no part of it.

- Oh?
- He became a rodeo cowboy.

He travels from one state
to the next. He loves it.

- No other children?
- No.

You mean none that you know of.

Well, I did kick up my heels a
little bit in the old wild cattle days.

But I feel like an ancient mariner
telling about the tales of old.

Listen, you mentioned your
age several times during lunch.

Clayton, you're not old.

That's what I thought until last
year when I had a little problem.

- Was it fixed?
- Yeah, it's fine.

I'm in terrific shape.

The painting.

I had it delivered
while we were at lunch.

But why?

Well, I felt that nobody but
you should own that painting.

Well, if you think so...

I'll gladly accept it.

- J.R., another bottle of champagne?
- Why, sure, honey.

- I'm overwhelmed.
- There must be a big surprise.

- Why don't you tell us about it?
- There's no big surprise.

It's just that I wanna share a terrific
run of luck with two beautiful ladies.

- We||, whatever. I hope it continues.
- Me too.

Oh, it will. It will.

At last, everything
is going my way.

And I wouldn't be surprised...

it it all started to
happen right about...

now.

Hold your horses. You're early.

Oh, you're 15 minutes early.

What's up?

Nicholas, look at my eyes.

What do you see?

You tell me.

No JR.

Just you.

Hey, George, it's Nick.

You call the guys. You tell
them the game is off tonight.

Anybody who shows up by
mistake, I break their legs.

No, you don't need
to know why, George.

You never canceled
a poker game before.

I never had a good reason to.

Next on Dallas:

I suggest if you
care about Westar...

you give Sue Ellen
a quick kiss goodbye.

Maybe there was a little
revenge in my coming here.

Delighted to hear it.

I hate both of you.

And I'm not gonna take
any more lectures from you.

- I like her.
- Lisa Alden?

I'm sorry I didn't meet her
under different circumstances.

- Guess who I saw again.
- I give up.

Think he called himself Petey.

Thought you were someone
named Joey Lombardi.

Bobby? Bob.
