Dallas (1978–1991): Season 11, Episode 19 - The Best Laid Plans - full transcript

Last on Dallas:

Why should this go to court?

Because you'll do anything
or use anybody to get Westar.

Joey's father was
definitely in the mob.

- I am not leaving Dallas.
- Yeah, you are.

Leave on your own or
I'll have you escorted out.

- You know I can't spend the night.
- How about a couple of hours?

All of the people that did
not show up to celebrate...

are gonna be licking my boots.

He's got this old-fashioned notion about
not sleeping with anybody I slept with.

You son of a...



Now you wanna talk
about buying some stock?

Good morning, Mama.

Good morning, J.R.

Can I get you some coffee?

Yes, please.

This morning's not
like the old days, is it?

There was a time there wouldn't
be an empty chair at this table.

No.

It's not at all
like the old days.

But your daddy was here
then to control you boys.

Well, things got out of hand.

Bobby just wouldn't
listen to reason, that's all.

JR...

I really don't care.



One way or another
you'll work things out.

You always do.

Yeah, I guess I do.

Well...

I better get to the office.

Have a nice day.

I will. Thank you, J.R.

- Yes, Phyllis?
- Paul Morgan is here.

Send him in, thank you.

- Hi, Paul.
- Bobby, how are you?

Better now, I think.

It looks like you're
gonna stay that way.

You talked to Lisa's lawyer?

Yeah. He doesn't know
where she is either.

- Court date?
- He moved it back a week...

give her time to show.

And if she doesn't?

Without her, there's no trial.

Then it's over.

Bobby, I don't believe
anything until I can see it.

But as far as I can tell,
she's not gonna show up.

That's great, that's great.

Well, I'd hold the celebration until
next week, but I think it's all over.

Thanks for coming by.

Keep your fingers
crossed, I'll call you.

You bet.

- I'll have the tuna salad.
- Anything to drink?

- Coffee, please.
- Okay.

-What are those? Newspapers.

Catching up to your reading?

Oh, they're not for
me, they're for you.

For me? What do you mean?

Where did you get this?

The same place I
got the rest of these.

Clayton, I really do care for
you, so I did some research.

You were big news in San Angelo.

- But why?
- We||, just look at this.

Look at the man
they write about.

All right. Now,
what's this all about?

Oh, it's just a
little eye opener.

Look at your life now
compared with this.

Don't you see something's wrong?

Well, changed maybe. But this
all happened when I was younger.

Your life's not over, Clayton.

You've just got to do
something more with it.

Well, I thought I was.

Just spending time with me?

You don't like my company.

I do.

I value your
friendship very highly.

But that's not what I'm
talking about, and you know it.

You just don't let up, do you?

Not when I care, no.

Look, this is the
real Clayton Fallow.

Not the man I'm having
lunch with, but this man.

- Yes?
- Nicholas Pearce is here to see you.

- Show him in.
- Yes, ma'am.

Thanks, Kelly.

Thank you, Kelly.

Well, this is a surprise.

This is a business call.

Business.

You don't wanna
talk about last night?

Yeah, we could do that.

Well?

Well, maybe I was
a little bit wrong.

Nicholas Pearce,
wrong? How can that be?

Oh, that's good. That's... That's very
good. Go ahead, make it easy for me.

After you left, I began to think
about what really got me upset.

And maybe there had been
a couple of times in my life...

where I looked at
my watch, I got up...

and I went home.

It bothers you that much that
the shoe is on the other foot?

What can I say? I have
my share of male ego, okay?

- Now can we get on with the business?
- This really is business?

Oh, yeah. Yeah.

Westar business...

which you seem to
be very interested in.

You know I am.

A large... A very large
block was bought...

by a very strange source.

Cliff Barnes. Barnes-Wentworth.

That's impossible. Cliff
would never work with J.R.

Yeah, well, then maybe it's
a coincidence. But I doubt it.

Nick...

I want you to tell me how
a corporate takeover works.

- Meaning J.R.?
- Of course.

He wants to take over Westar
and I wanna know how he does it.

Well, first. You have
to own a lot of stock.

That he does.

You and I both know that he's had
Sly and April buy Westar stock for him.

- That's true.
- He's also bought quite a bit for himself.

Not using his own name
maybe, but I'm sure he has.

But I don't think
he's got enough.

You mean he may
not be able to pull it off?

Oh, I didn't say that.

But he's gonna need a
lot more than what he's got.

So...

u.“ (0! some mason,
CH“ and JR. got together...

would that work?

That depends.

To make a takeover successful, you
have to own enough stock in the company...

to make a change
in the management.

Get yourself on the board...

then you make an offer for the controlling
shares of that stock. It's not easy.

So why wouldn't
J.R. do just that?

Because there's a certain doctor in Austin
who owns 14 percent of Westar outright.

And from what I know in all
the research that I have done...

there is no way in the
world this man would sell.

How much stock would J.R. have
to buy to get around the doctor?

A lot more than
even he could afford.

No, it they're gonna make
an attempt at this takeover...

they cannot do it
without the doctor's help.

So the doctor is the key.

Why would he...?

Why would he go along with J.R.?

For one very good reason
which I've just found out.

Which is?

His name is Styles...

and he's Kimberly
Cryder's father.

Good morning,
Petro Group Dallas.

One moment, please.

- It's Senator Culver.
- Oh, fine. I'll take it.

You can stay. Yeah, Dave.

Bobby, how are you?

I'm fine. How are things
going in Washington?

Very well, especially for you.

Flea/Iv?
- Yeah, it looks pretty good.

All right. What's the next step?

Money, for one
thing. And lots of it.

I don't care how much it takes as
long as I can get Ewing Oil back.

Well, as it happens, we
couldn't have picked a better time.

Oh, how is that?

Well, you know, this
is an election year.

Of course.

Yes, and there's lots of campaigning going
on. Now, with the right contributions...

I think some of the committee members
might look favorably on your request.

All right. Who and how much?

I've just sent the feelers out.

I don't have to tell you
the sooner the better.

Well, if everything
goes right...

you just might have Ewing
Oil back within the year.

Thanks, Dave. I'll be
waiting to hear from you.

As soon as I find out
something, I'll call you. Bye.

All right. Goodbye.

- Cliff?
- Yeah, Jackie?

- Your Westar stock went up again.
- That's good.

Oh, you don't sound
very happy about it.

Happy? Yeah, I'm happy.

I expected it to go up.

- Why do you think I bought it?
- How'd you know it was gonna go up?

My little secret.

Everything's sure
going your way.

Yeah, everything
is going my way.

Just like everything went my way
at the party the other night, huh?

Don't you have work to do?

Something's gotta be wrong.

J.R. wouldn't put me
in something this good.

My office is in here.

I thought it was about time
you saw where Mommy worked.

Boy, this is big.

You like it?

Yeah, it's great.

You and Daddy both
have neat offices.

Oh, I didn't know you'd been to
your daddy's new offices before.

Oh, sure, it's great too.

Whoa.

I wish Daddy could have
his name back, though.

That's what he really wants.

- You mean Ewing Oil?
- Mm-hm.

He can never get that name back.

Sure he can. He told me so.

What did he tell you?

He told me he would get it
back for me when I get older.

Oh, he didn't mean Ewing
Oil. He must have meant JRE.

Nuh-uh. He said Ewing Oil.

Honey, he can never get that
name back. It's against the law.

Daddy wouldn't lie to me.

I'm sure he wouldn't mean to...

but maybe you misunderstood him.

No, I didn't.

Did he tell you how he
was gonna get it back?

Yes.

He said he's going
to work real hard.

When he gets big enough
in the oil business again...

he's gonna get it back from the
people that took it away from him.

I'm not sure I
understand any of this.

Well, it's simple.

You take a suite at the Fairview
Hotel for tomorrow night...

and then you call up Sue Ellen and
ask her to come over for a little talk.

Why would she possibly show up?

Well, curiosity.

I have a feeling she thinks
something's going on between us.

She just doesn't
know what it is yet.

And if she does show up,
what am I supposed to say?

Well, if everything
goes as I expect it will...

you'll probably
say something like:

"Oh, my God."

- Yeah?
- Bobby, Mrs. Ewing is here.

Oh, send her in. Thank you.

- Sue Ellen, what a nice surprise.
- He||o, Bobby.

- Am I interrupting anything?
- Not at all. You're a welcome relief.

- Can I get you something?
- No.

Sit down. Here, it'll
be more comfortable.

Thank you.

What can I do for you?

Well, not a thing. I came
here to do something for you.

- For me?
- That's right.

It's obvious to me that you
and I have a common enemy.

- J.R.?
- Who else?

I'm afraid I still don't know
what you're talking about.

He's trying to take over Westar.

Yeah, I...

Hound out about that.
But how did you know?

Take my word for it, I know.

He's get everyone in this
town buying stock for him.

Bobby, he's trying
to get Ewing Oil back.

But what does that
have to do with Westar?

I don't know exactly, but J.R. told
John Ross, and John Ross told me.

It's a long story,
but it's true.

The most important thing we can
do is to make sure he never gets it.

Well, he never will get
it. Not if I can help it.

Good.

That's the most important
thing in life to him.

It's the only way that I can get back at
him for all the things he's done to me.

I can understand your feelings.

Then you understand that as far as I'm
concerned, it's over between J.R. and me.

Sue Ellen, are you
getting a divorce?

Of course not, that's
just what he wants.

I'm afraid you
just lost me again.

He's done everything he knows
how to try to get me to leave him.

I think it's all tied
into Kimberly Cryder.

What does Kimberly Clyde!
Have to do with all this?

Her father, a Dr. Styles,
owns 14 percent of Westar.

Okay. So?

So I think somehow Styles will
back J.R. if he and I separate.

I'm sorry, Sue Ellen.

There's no need
to feel sorry for me.

What's most important is
that you and I work against J.R.

I've already started.

How?

I'm in the process of getting the
Ewing Oil name back, all for myself.

- Can you?
- I think so.

I have Dave Culver working
on it for me in Washington.

Whatever I can do to
help, well, just let me know.

I will do anything to keep J.R.
from getting Ewing Oil back.

Anything.

Hello?

Good morning.

I thought I'd be
hearing from you.

What do you want, J.R.?

You know, if I were you,
I'd be a little nicer to me.

What do you want?

I wanna see that Westar stock
you're supposed to be buying.

Well, you're not gonna see anything,
because I'm not gonna buy any more.

You must think I was
kidding about Bobby and Holly.

Or maybe he's not
important to you anymore?

J.R., you and I
were hardly lovers.

It not how often, darling...

it's the fact that we did it.

Well, I don't believe that.

Next time you see Bobby, ask about
Holly and me. That might change your mind.

Anyhow. this is a
good deal for you.

That Westar stock is
gonna be very valuable.

You're gonna make a
lot of money, I guarantee.

And when do you say, “Trust me“?

Just buy the stock.
Enjoy the ride.

- Can I bring you something from the bar?
- Sly?

Some white wine, please.

- And for you, sir?
- Scotch on the rocks will be nice.

I'll be right back.

Boy, you look beautiful tonight.

- Thank you.
- I don't see how you do it.

Considering all those
hours you put in at the office.

Well, J.R. let me
off a little early today.

- You tell him you were going out with me?
- No.

Why? Afraid he
might not like it?

No, that's not it.

I know he likes you.

That's good. I hope so.

You may not realize this...

but I fronted for J.R.
on a couple of deals.

Well, there isn't a whole lot that
J.R. does that I don't know about.

- Is that right?
- Mm-hm.

J.R...

He doesn't always like people
finding out what he's doing.

I've even been made president
of one of his corporations.

- Is that a fact?
- Mm-hm.

You know, I always had the feeling
you were more than just a secretary.

I like to think so.

So, what sort of
deals were you in on?

I don't think I ought to
talk to you about them.

I'm sorry. I didn't
mean to my or anything.

- Here we are.
- Thank you.

Thank you.

Well...

here's to us.

May this be the start
of something real big.

Just a second.

- Cliff.
- What do you want?

I wanna apologize for
not making it to your party.

I was a little
under the weather.

Save it for somebody
else. I don't need it.

Now, there's no reason
to get sure about this, Cliff.

All the reason I need.

You wanna try to apologize
to me? I know your reasons.

Is that so? Well,
then you tell me.

Because you're scared.
You're afraid you might need me.

Scared of what?

Westar.

You figured when they
come to buy you out...

like Andy Bradley, you'll
need me in your comer.

Well, it won't work.

I don't know what
you're talking about.

All I wanted to
do was apologize.

Now I'm sorry I did.

No, you're sorry
that I didn't buy it.

You can think what
you want to, Cliff...

but there comes a time
when you'll need friends.

Cold day in hell when
I need a friend like you.

Well, that day just might
come sooner than you think.

April.

Are you all right?

Why?

Well, usually you
are pretty lively.

Tonight, you were
in a different world.

I'm sorry.

You want a nightcap?

Yeah, a brandy would be nice.

Quite a dinner, huh?

Bobby, who's Holly Haywood?

Where did you dig up that name?

Some people in my restaurant
were talking about her.

- I got the impression that you knew her.
- Well, I did.

She was some lady.

Was there anything between you?

Romantically? No.

Well, I heard she
really liked you.

Well...

maybe she did.

But it was strictly business.

She was involved with JR.

She got in a little too deep and I helped
bail her out. That's all there was to it.

Well, is that what stopped
you? He! involvement with J.R.?

Yeah.

Yeah, I guess it was.

You see, April...

anything that J.R.
touches, he fouls.

The thought of being
involved with one of his ladies...

Well, it would
just never happen.

Sorry I brought it up.

It makes no difference.

Holly Haywood
is ancient history.

Nothing to do with
what's happening now.

I suppose not.

Kimberly?

Kimberly?

Kimberly?

Hey, what the hell?

Oh, my God!

Sue Ellen, I can explain.

Are you gonna explain
what a pig you are?

- You don't understand.
- You've got to be kidding. Of course I do.

- But, darling...
- This is the last straw, you bastard.

Well...

worked like a charm, didn't it?

Hi.

You wanna come in?

- Did I say something funny?
- No, no, it's not you.

I'm sorry I keep
barging in like this...

but something happened
and I have to tell you.

- We||, come on in.
- Okay.

It must have been hilarious,
you wanna tell me about it?

It was. It was so funny.

I caught J.R. in bed
with Kimberly Cryder.

And that's funny?

- That doesn't bother you?
- No.

I hate him so much right now that
nothing he could do could bother me.

So, what did he say?

The usual.

- You mean, this has happened before?
- Mm.

With a woman
named Holly Haywood.

I mean, it's amazing
how similar it is.

I think J.R. thought that he
would get the same result.

Are you...? Are you telling me
that he set this whole thing up?

Of course.

Of course. I went
into this hotel room...

and I was properly
outraged and furious...

and J.R. was properly
shocked and sorry...

and Kimberly...

Poor little thing.
- -she didn't know what to think.

So when are you gonna file?

- For what?
- For a divorce.

You're not gonna
stay with him after this.

Well, of course I am.
He wants a divorce.

Well, he may not
get what he wants.

What do you get out of this?

Satisfaction.

If it stops him from getting
Westar, then it's worth everything.

But...

there's one thing I won't do.

And that's rush home anymore.

No more looking at your watch?

No more wounded male ego?

No more revenge on J.R.?

No more talk.

Hello, Laurel.

I don't believe this. What in
God's name are you doing here?

Did you think I
wouldn't follow you?

Yeah, I thought you'd finally
realize what goodbye means.

- I flew 5000 miles to talk to you.
- Is this your idea of a joke?

Getting me to deliver
plants so we could talk?

I'm sorry about that. The house
actually belongs to a friend.

Didn't think I'd be
welcome where you live.

You wouldn't, so why don't you fly
on back to England and let me alone.

I'm afraid I can't do that.

You see, I still love you.

Well, I'm bloody well not in love
with you. I probably never was.

I came all this way to be shed of you,
and I don't want you buggering up my life.

- Is there someone else?
- That is none of your business.

Yes, it is.

Look, my life here is just fine without
you, and that's how it's gonna stay.

You're not gonna
get rid of me that easy.

And as far as I'm concerned,
we're still going to be married.

And as far as I'm concerned,
you can go straight to hell.

- Bobby.
- Charlie? What are you doing here?

I have to talk to you.

What's wrong, honey?

Everything. It's terrible.

Hold on a minute,
now. What's terrible?

Living with my
mother's new husband.

Charlie, what are
you talking about?

Ray. He's really strict. I mean,
I can't do anything anymore.

Come on, now. It
can't be that bad.

But it is.

I mean, he won't even
let me see my boyfriend.

He must have his reasons.

For grounding me for two months?
Don't you think that's a little strict?

I don't know. I don't
know what you did.

Nothing.

He caught me and
Randy kissing, that's all.

There must have been
more to it than that.

There wasn't.

All right. Uh... Did you
try and talk to him about it?

It doesn't do any good. He
doesn't understand me at all.

Charlie...

they're your family.

What can I do about it?

- Talk to them for me.
- Honey, it's not my place.

Bobby, you always told
me you cared about me.

And I do.

So just talk to him, please.

What would I say to them?

I just want Ray to
lighten up a little.

What does your mama
think about all this?

She does whatever Ray says.

Please, Bobby,
won't you at least try?

All right. Get in the
car and we'll go over.

Thanks, Bobby.

I knew I could count on you.

- Yup.
- April Stevens is here to see you.

Oh, send her in.

- J.R.
- Yeah, something wrong?

You. You'd really
do it, wouldn't you?

- Do what?
- Tell Bobby, that's what.

Yes, I would, if I had to.

You're scum, J.R.,
you know that? Scum.

April, I know how you feel. But
you got yourself into this, I didn't.

And I want out.

- Well, you know how to do that.
- Okay. How much?

How much stock do I have
to buy to get you off my back?

Oh, I think $2 million worth
ought to be a good start.

Stan?

I don't think you
understand. I want out.

No, I don't think you
understand. You ain't getting out.

So you might as well
learn to live with it.

Okay, J.R. Have it your way.

But just remember, you
can only push me so far.

Well, don't go away mad.

Thank you.

So...

I did something about
what you told me.

- Oh, so you've finally taken me seriously?
- Yes, I did.

I took these newspapers home...

and looked at them real close.

I was happier back then.

My whole life was
filled with things to do.

- You can have that again.
- And I'm gonna have it again.

I made up my mind.

I'm meeting a man today...

and I think I wanna buy my way
back into the refinery business.

That's wonderful.

I'm very happy for you.

And I owe it all to you.

To me? What for?

Well, if I hadn't met you...

I'd still be thinking
where to retire.

You're wrong.

- Why is that?
- You would have done it yourself.

That's why you met me.

I mean, you were
reaching out already.

When we met, you were looking
for something to fill a void in your life.

All I did was to remind
you what to fill it with.

That's right, you did.

And I owe you for it.

Oh, the only reward I want is to
see you happy with yourself again.

Well...

I was thinking of
something a little different.

Different? What do you mean?

Well, I know how you like
gardening, and your plants...

and I was wondering if maybe you
would let me back you in your business.

Doing what?

A nursery. A proper one.

Clayton, that's lovely.
But I really can't accept.

Why not?

Because I'm happy
where I am right now.

I'm finally doing
something on my own.

On your own? Now,
what does that mean?

Oh, just that my past
popped up there for a minute.

Something you'd
like to talk about?

Not really. But there's
one thing I'd like to tell you.

What's that?

You're a nice man.

And I'm proud to
have you as my friend.

Anybody home?

Oh, hello, Ray.

Bob, what are you
doing over here?

He came to help me.

Help you what?

- Did you go over to Southfork?
- Yes.

What is this all about?

Ray...

Charlie came by to see me.

You went over to Southfork after
school today instead of coming home?

I had to talk to someone.

I want you to go to your room.

Get up to your room,
right now! Let's go.

Ray, calm down.

I don't remember
asking for your advice.

Charlie asked me to talk to you.

She did? What about?

She thinks you're being
hard on her, that's all.

So you came over here to
show me how to raise her?

No, no. No, not at all.

I thought we
could talk about it.

Well, I appreciate your concern
but we don't need your help.

Look, Ray...

maybe you are being
a little strict with her.

You and Jenna have been married
a short time. Give her time to adjust.

Now, just hold on a minute.

Maybe you don't think
I'm a very good father.

I really don't care
what you think anymore.

Why don't you just
get the hell out of here.

I was just trying to help.

We don't need
your help or advice.

This is my house and I
make the rules around here.

I want you to leave. I
mean it, get out of here.

And don't come back.

Don't worry, I won't.

Clayton?

Is anything wrong?

No, I've never felt better.

You hardly said
two words at dinner.

There's a lot of
things on my mind.

How did your day go?

It went just fine.

Nothing out of the ordinary?

No.

And you still wanna
go back to work?

More than ever.

Selling my refineries was the
biggest mistake I ever made.

I sold my self-esteem with them.

Work isn't everything.

No, it isn't.

Why all of a sudden is
this so important to you?

Well, it isn't all
of a sudden, Ellie.

Ever since we were married
and I stopped working...

I've been lying to myself.

I thought I could be happy,
retired and just doing nothing.

Well, I find I'm not
happy with that kind of life.

I'm sure you can see that.

What about me?

Well...

there'll be plenty of
time for you and me.

I think you'd be happy not
to have me around so much.

I like having you around.

Well, then think how much you'll
enjoy it after missing me all day.

I just don't want you
to overdo, that's all.

Now, don't worry about me.

We better get to bed. I've
got an early morning meeting.

Okay. You go ahead.

I'm going downstairs
to read for a while.

All right. Night, dear.

Good night.

Charlie, I wanna talk to you.

What about?

About Ray, for one thing.

What about him?

You hurt him today
going to see Bobby.

I hurt him?

What about what
he's doing to me?

Charlie, we didn't
ground you to hurt you.

And Ray loves you and he
cares about what happens to you.

Well, if he cares so much about me,
then why won't he let me see Randy?

You know why. And I
happen to agree with him.

See, you always take his side.

You don't even ask me
what I think about anything.

You just go right along
with whatever he says.

He caught you two
half-naked in the barn, Charlie.

And then I caught
you on the phone, lying.

What do you guys want me to do?
You won't even let me talk to Randy.

That's right, we won't.

Sometimes we know what's best for
you even though you think it's wrong.

Well, this time you are wrong.

Charlie...

you don't have to lie to me.

You know that you can come to
me anytime you have a problem.

But I tried to talk to you. You
said there was nothing to talk about.

That's why I went to Bobby.

Going to Bobby's the wrong thing to
do, Charlie. He's not a pan of this family.

Don't remind me.

Maybe we were a
little hard on you...

but that's between
us as a family.

Bringing Bobby to this, it
hurt Ray very badly, Charlie.

Why? Because
Bobby stuck up for me?

No, because you made
Ray feel like he's a bad father.

He tries very hard, you know.

Well, I'm sorry. But I
had to do something.

I'll tell you what...

tomorrow morning,
you apologize to Ray...

and maybe we can work this out.

Will you listen to
my side of the story?

I promise.

Now, you get some sleep.
And we'll talk tomorrow morning.

- Good night.
- Good night.

Mom?

Thanks.

Good night.

- Oh, no. That's it. That's it.
- Wow.

What is this?

A-ha-hah!

- Nice.
- One more game.

One more game?

All right. One more
game. One more game.

- My ball is too heavy.
- I'll tell you what.

Let's go up to the pro shop,
Uncle Cliff will buy you a new ball.

Take him up on that,
never get an offer like that.

- Thanks, Uncle Cliff.
- You're welcome.

We gotta do this more often.

Well, now that this Lisa business
is cleared up, maybe we can.

Teresa, take these two.
I'm thinking about these two.

- Yes, ma'am.
- Good, thank you.

Well, what's going on here?

Well, I think it's
rather obvious.

Teresa, I wonder if I could speak to
Mrs. Ewing alone for a few minutes?

Sue Ellen, let me explain.

Well, there's nothing to explain,
J.R. I know you all too well.

Well, I guess it had to
come to this scene! or later.

Darling, I've tried
to be faithful to you...

but I just can't seem
to be able to do it.

Well, that's all right. You've always
had a difficult time being faithful to me.

Well, I'm truly sorry. I
can't blame you for leaving.

How nice of you.

Well...

I don't know, I
guess I deserve this.

- For everything I've put you through.
- Don't give it a second thought, I don't.

Well, it's gonna be difficult for
me around here. And John Ross.

I want you to know that you can
come visit him any time you want to.

I won't have to come
anywhere to see him.

- Huh?
- I'm not going anywhere.

I think Southfork is a
fine place to raise my son.

Well, what's all
this packing about?

So I can move back
to my own room.

Because I'm not doing
what you thought I'd do.

I'm not giving you a divorce.

You mean you still
wanna stay here with me?

Not with you.

You see, we're going
to lead separate lives...

like the old days.

You know, an open relationship.

Well, I'm not sure
that that's what I want.

As far as I can see...

you don't have a choice.

Teresa, could you please help
me take these things in my room?

Thank you very much.

See you at breakfast.

Next on Dallas:

You're telling us
you're working with J.R.

In a manner of speaking.

I know that we haven't made any
kind of commitment to each other.

But I'm getting very
serious about us.

Sue Ellen requires a new strategy.
I'll find a way to get rid of her.

How'd you like to take a
detour through Arlington?

- It's a lovely drive at night.
- I'll bet it is.

Men have tried to ride
roughshod over me before.

None were named JR. Ewing.

- What's up?
- Bad news.

Lisa Alden's back in Dallas...

and the hearing's
on far next week.
