Dallas (1978–1991): Season 11, Episode 28 - Pillow Talk - full transcript

Last on Dallas.

Oh, my God.

If they ever found out the
two of us were together...

they would have done to you
what they did to April or worse.

When it comes to
family, especially J.R...

you are gonna have to
go along with my decision.

You got away with murder.

You're not getting the Ewing
name back and that's final.

I move that we all vote to reinstate
Jeremy Wendell as chairman.

- All in favor?
- Aye.

- I'll never forget this, Sue Ellen.
- I certainly hope not.



I'm glad to see you're packing. Saves
me the trouble of kicking you out of here.

I am so glad to see you. It's nice
that you came home before I left.

How dare you pull
a stunt like that?

The same way you have
all these years, my dearest.

You planned this
all along, didn't you?

I wanted Westar, I'd
do anything to get it.

Including bedding
Kimberly Cryder?

That was business. You
know damn well it was.

You have cheated
on me for the last time.

Today, you got
everything you deserved...

and more.

Is that why you stayed?

Even after you knew
about Kimberly and me?

I sure didn't stay
because of love.



I stayed until I could do to you
what you have always done to me.

Do you have any idea what this
little game of yours has cost me?

Of course I do.

And the irony is that I teamed
up with your latest fling to do it.

How's that for poetic justice?

I'll be here when
John Ross gets back.

- Save the trouble. My boy stays here.
- Think about what happened last time.

Remember who ended up with him?

- Yeah?
- April Stevens is here, Cliff.

Uh, hey, what am I paying
you for, girl? Send her in.

Yes, sir.

Now, you don't look right.
You're supposed to look happy.

Don't pop the cork, Cliff.
There's not much to celebrate.

Wait, isn't J.R. head of
Westar? Aren't you on the board?

Don't I have my gas field?

JR. was defeated...

by Kimberly Clyde!
And Sue Ellen.

- Sue Ellen?
- And Jeremy Wendell has returned.

- What?
- He's back as the head of Westar.

But how?

Sue Ellen teamed up
with Kimberly Cryder.

Oh, no, Cliff, don't...

Don't you understand something?

The key to my gas production
is JR. being head of Westar.

And now I'm just at that
jerk's mercy all over again.

- Are you always gonna be J.R.'s puppet?
- Nothing I can do about it.

- This the way you're gonna live your life?
- You do me a favor and leave me alone.

What, so you can
sit here and pop pills?

Hey, I said, just get
out of here, all right?

Cliff, sell.

- Huh?
- Sell the gas field.

Well, you gotta be crazy. I
am making a fortune on that.

And this is a hell
of a way to live.

Sell your Westar stock, sell
the gas field, and you'd be free.

You'd be rid of JR.

No.

Make the call, Cliff.

No, I'm not ready
to do that, no.

Too much of Dandy
and me in that field.

- Yeah?
- Hello, Hay, it's Jenna.

Oh, Jenna.

How are you, honey?

How's Paris?

Oh, Paris is wonderful,
but lonely. I miss you.

I miss you too. How's Charlie?

She's doing better. In
fact, we're doing better.

We're a mother-daughter
team again.

We". that's great.

Ray, I've been doing
a lot of thinking lately.

And?

Well, Charlie loves Paris
and she likes her new school...

and she's made a
lot of new friends.

I'm gonna leave her here.

And Lucas and I are coming home.

That's wonderful.

- When?
- Well, as soon as things are settled.

My place is with you, Ray.

I'll be here.

You know, I keep wondering,
are you gonna be happy to see me?

Oh, Ray, you there?

Yeah, uh, sure.

Is everything all right?

Yeah, I'm all right.

Could you call me
back tomorrow, honey?

I love you.

I love you too.

Dad, I've been waiting for you.

Oh, you have, have you? What do you got,
another one of those tough math problems?

Yeah, but that's
for after dinner.

Right now, I have to
ask you something.

Is that right?

Well, okay.

You tell me, what's
on your mind?

Did you remember the
father-son banquet at school?

Tomorrow night, of course.

Are you gonna come?

Well, sure I am.

And you won't change your mind?

You've been
taking a lot of trips.

Look, Christopher. I know
I've been gone a lot lately.

But these trips, they're gonna
stop real soon, I promise.

But how come you've been going?

I have a lot of business I
have to take care 01, that's all.

That's right, Christopher. Your
daddy has been busy. So have I.

If you look around, you'll find
that your Aunt Sue Ellen is gone.

Christopher, you go on upstairs.

- But, Daddy...
- I'll come and get you for dinner, go on.

J.R., what's going on?
Where is Sue Ellen?

Sue Ellen's not gonna
be at Southfork anymore.

Why?

Because she betrayed
me. I threw her out.

What are you talking about?

I was all set to take over
controlling interest of Westar...

no thanks to you, of course.

Then Sue Ellen and that other tramp,
Kimberly Cryder, stuck a knife in my back.

So the long and short of it
is, Jeremy Wendell is in...

and I am out, thanks to them.

You're always trying to blame other
people for things that are your own fault.

That's right, side with
them. If you'd helped me...

- none of this would've happened.
- I don't owe you that.

You're my brother and you
should have backed me in my fight.

You fight your
way, I fight mine.

Bobby, you don't fight.

You just lie down and let
everybody roll over you.

I'm the only real Ewing
my daddy ever had.

How come you picked me up?
The camping trip wasn't over.

There will always be
another camping trip, son.

You and I have
something to talk about.

- Why couldn't we talk at home?
- Well, it's more private here.

John Ross...

I got something to tell you.

It's not gonna be
easy. Here, sit up here.

Is it about Mama?

Yes, it is.

Your mama has left
us both for another man.

Now, I don't wanna
speak in of her...

but it's the second
time she's done this.

Doesn't she wanna be
around me anymore?

Well, of course she does.

As a matter of fact, she could show up any
time and try to take you away from me...

to live in sin with
this other man.

Take you away from Southfork
and me and your grandma.

But I don't wanna go anywhere.

I was hoping you'd say that.

You belong on Southfork with me.

But can't I ever
see Mama, again?

Sure.

Of course you can.

But you gotta take my word, son.

I'm not gonna let he!
Take you away from me.

Okay?

Okay.

Shake on it? Man-to-man?

Man-to-man.

And remember, son...

whatever I do...

I do for one person
and that's you.

PGD?

Yes he is. Just a
moment, please?

It's Dave Culver.

Oh, thanks.

- Yeah, Dave? What's the news?
- Things are starting to break.

I want you on the first
plane to Washington.

Fantastic. Hang on
a second, would you?

Would you hook me the first
flight out to Washington, please?

Today?

Yeah, why?

Well, you have that
father-son banquet tonight.

Dave, I have a problem here.

There's a school function I'm going
to attend with Christopher tonight.

Bobby, this is what
we've been working for.

I can't stress how
important this is.

Yeah, well, my son
is important to me.

Listen, I'll be in touch
and thanks for calling. Bye.

Washington can wait.

- Teresa?
- Good afternoon, Mrs. Ewing.

Teresa, I'd like you to go
upstairs and pack my things.

Is this for a short
trip? Long trip?

Pack everything. It's forever.

Yes, ma'am.

Sue Ellen? I've
been waiting for you.

I came for my son.

I'm not gonna stop you.

John Ross?

John Ross, are you in there?

John Ross?

John Ross?

John Ross?

Come on, sweetheart, no more
games. Where are you? John Ross?

- Where is my son?
- Where you can't get him.

You bastard. You're using
my son against me, aren't you?

You got two minutes
to get off my ranch.

Not without my son.

If you don't leave, the
sheriff will escort you off.

You wouldn't dare.

- They're waiting for you outside, honey.
- Where is my son?

Safe from you.

Now get the hell out of here.

I'll be back.

Don't you think for
a minute that I won't.

Sue Ellen? You forgot these.

Oh, this place
constantly amazes me.

It's so beautiful out here.

I'm surprised I missed coming
out to this part of the ranch.

It's been a long time since
I've been out here myself.

Sometimes it
makes me a little sad.

Is this a gravesite?

Garrison wanted to be
buried under this tree.

Your brother?

That's why...

That's why I had you
bring me here, Clayton.

- I have something I wanna tell you.
- You never told me about him, why?

Well...

maybe I was waiting
for the right time.

I think...

I think today is the right time.

My father...

always wanted my brother
to follow in his footsteps...

but Garrison hated ranching.

So...

it was me Daddy always took to
the cattle auctions and taught to ride...

before I could walk.

And what happened to Garrison?

Garrison...

loved the sea...

so he joined the
merchant marine.

And it was shortly...

after I married Jock that we
heard that his ship had gone down.

Gone down?

But he's buried here?

Yeah, well, now
wait, there's more.

Because my father thought
that Garrison was dead...

Jock and I inherited this ranch.

But it was my brother
that was the real heir.

Why?

I mean, he wanted
nothing to do with ranching.

Well, in those days...

a ranch was always left
to the man in the family.

So...

Jock and I...

had this ranch
for all that time.

And then one day...

a man came to our door.

Garrison?

All that time...

and not a word.

But when he showed up...

I felt that the right thing to do
was to give him what was his.

Southfork?

But Garrison...

Garrison didn't want the ranch.

He came home to die.

It was on one of our
last walks together...

that he asked me
to bury him here.

Why are you telling me
about all these new, Ellie?

Well...

I was raised to
believe that a man...

should be head of a ranch.

Clayton...

I want Southfork to
belong to both of us.

I want it to be in
both our names.

Well, sharing the reins of
Southfork wasn't what I had in mind.

But you said you
wanted to take charge...

that you wanted to sit at
the head of your own table.

Not at the expense of
what's rightfully yours.

You were born on this
ranch, Ellie. It belongs to you.

Then if it's mine,
I can do as I wish.

I found a good man to
help me run the ranch.

A man...

that my daddy would
have been proud of.

Who is it?

It's Ray Krebbs. Open up.

Hello, stranger.

- Connie.
- Come on in.

I was so happy to hear from you.

Can I get you something? A beer?

- Me?
- This isn't any kind of a social call.

If I have to call
the sheriff, I will.

Oh, come on, Ray.

Be nice.

- What have you done to your hair?
- Do you like it?

I even did the makeup like her.

What the hell do you
think you're doing?

What do you mean?

First, you smear red paint all over
the front of my house and now this.

Are you crazy?

I painted a heart on your
house with our initials in it.

Ray, you know we're
meant to be together.

You are crazy.

Especially the way you're
dressed to look like my wife.

Well, you didn't want me the way I
was, so I thought it I looked like her...

I want you to stay away from me.

I mean it.

I want you to just
stay out of my life.

You threw her out?

I had to, she made a fool of me,
cost me Daddy's company too.

I find that hard to believe.

The reason she stayed at Southfork
was to hurt me, she did and she's gone.

Knowing Sue Ellen and knowing you,
I can't believe any of this is her fault.

Stay out. It's none
of your business.

- I'm glad you went to the banquet.
- I wouldn't of had it any other way.

I told you to butt out,
it's not your house.

Yes, it is, J.R.

Why don't you run on up
and get ready for bed, okay?

- Okay.
- Now, go on, I'll be up in a minute.

Come on, Clayton.
I've had enough of this.

- Bobby.
- Good night, Mama.

Good night, Bobby.

_J.R___ -You're gonna
get on my case too?

- Tell me how sorry you are for Sue Ellen?
- I was thinking of you.

I don't want your pity.

It's not pity, J.R.
You're my brother.

The time to tell me that
was when I needed you.

Well it's too damn late.

J.R., Casey Denault is here.

Send him in.

Hello, J.R. Got here
as quick as I could.

- You want a drink?
- It's a little early.

Will I be needing one?

You might. Sit down.

Well, there's no easy
way to tell you this...

but this is kind of
hard for me to say, kid.

I won't be needing
your services any longer.

Hey, come on, J.R..
You don't mean that.

When I lost Westar, I
lost the need for you.

- What about that dummy corporation?
- That's history.

Well, I could still be
real valuable to you.

I know the oil business. I've
made good contacts in Dallas.

Good, good. You better use them.

You're gonna need a
new source of income.

J.R., please. I can still
do a lot for you, like before.

Give me the opportunity.
I wasn't begging.

Don't beg.

You know the only difference
between you and your daddy?

Is he knew he was a loser.

You know something, J.R.?

My daddy may have died broke but
he had one thing you'll never have.

Class.

The only thing you know about
class is that it starts with a C.

Now, get out of here.

Well, hello again.

Hi.

Bad news?

My services are
no longer needed.

I'm sorry.

I wish I could help.

You already have.

Casey, you don't need J.R.

Thanks for believing in me, Sly.

If you could calm down,
we can discuss this.

Don't tell me to calm
down. He kidnapped my son.

Mrs. Ewing, let us term it abduction,
rather than kidnapping, huh?

You lawyers can call it
anything that you want.

He took my son. What
am I supposed to do?

We file a claim with the court
that John Ross be returned...

to the court's jurisdiction
within three days.

Great. Let's do it.

First, I want you to file a
complaint with the Braddock sheriff.

You gotta be kidding.

Did I say something funny?

It's just a complete
waste of time. That's all.

And why is that?

Let's say that J.R. has a bit of influence
with the Braddock Sheriff's Department.

Mrs. Ewing, you've hired
me to act as your attorney.

Take my advice,
file that complaint.

We need it for the record.

All right, then.

- But you will get that court order?
- Yes, of course I will.

I guess I should feel
better after this meeting.

But you don't.

Not while J.R. has my son.

God knows what he's
telling him about me.

I'm sorry, J.R. I
tried to stop her.

I'll take care of this.

I don't know what you're
doing and I don't care.

Just tum around
and get the hell out.

I told you 10...

Now that I've got
your attention...

you could have had it all, J.R.

You could have had Westar.

You could have had me.

But you were greedy.

You had to have
everything your own way.

You weren't honest with me.
You weren't honest with your wife.

Now, you've lost it all.

What a pity.

- Hi.
- Hi.

Hey, come in. Come in.

I got here as soon as
my meeting was over.

So how'd it go with Dave?

Fine. It's getting close.

- You... You look great.
- Thank you.

- Can I get you something to drink?
- Club soda would be great.

All right.

- How long are you here?
- Lots of ice, right?

- Sony, what were you saying?
- Listen, you...

- Here.
- Thanks. Oh!

- I... Oh, I'm sorry.
- It's all right.

I must be nervous.

Kay, what are we gonna do?

- It feels so good when we're together.
- But we're not together enough.

I'm geographically undesirable?

No.

No, it's just that I've never gotten used
to long-distance romances, that's all.

Is distance the problem
or is it really my job?

Kay, you make it sound like I'm some
kind of a chauvinist and I hope I'm not.

I've discovered I didn't like waiting
around a hotel room all night...

- for my lady to come from a meeting.
- Bobby, what was I supposed to do?

I mean, they held a
meeting, I had to go.

Come on, sit down.

- I understand...
- My career means just as much to me...

as yours does to you.

And I want a
woman with a career.

But that's not what
this is all about.

Kay, when the Ewing
Oil business is all settled...

what happens to us?

Now, I come up to Washington when I can,
you fly down to Dallas for weekends, what?

Bobby, my life is
here in Washington.

Everything I want...

Almost... is here.

Dallas is a pretty nice town.

Maybe for a little while.

But not forever.

That doesn't leave us
a whole lot to talk about.

Excuse me.

Hello?

Can you take some great news?

Dave?

Yeah, I could use
some good news.

O'Dell has come through.

What?

O'Dell came through?

Right, Justice
Department backed off...

we're in the last stages of
dotting the PS and crossing the T's.

That's the best news
I've had in years.

Go out and celebrate.
We'll talk in the morning.

You can bet I will.
Thanks for calling.

It's done. He did it.

Comfortable?

Very.

Happy?

You bet your life.

I am going to enjoy
running this ranch with you.

It's gonna be wonderful
having a man at the helm again.

You know, Ellie...

the thought of growing
old is not so bad...

as long as I can do it with you.

- That's a lovely thing to say.
- I mean it.

I've been given a
second chance with you...

and I am not going to blow it.

This would all be perfect...

if I weren't so sad
about J.R. and Sue Ellen.

Well...

that's a breakup that's
been coming for a long time.

But Sue Ellen was a
big part of this family.

When I think of John
Ross, I could just cry.

Well, it has been...

quite a year for the
children in this house.

Not to mention the grownups.

Well...

this is one room...

that's gonna have love in it...

and it's not gonna change.

Oh, it's incredible.

And it only gets better.

Because I'm gonna
be a free woman?

- Because we're gonna be together.
- It will be like starting over again.

We can actually walk down
the streets and hold hands.

You're really a romantic.

I love that.

Aren't you?

You'll find out.

And I won't even have to
look at my watch anymore.

We're gonna be so normal.

It'll make us both sick.

What?

I was just thinking
about John Ross.

Oh, sweetheart.

The court will get
him back for you.

I'm sure of it.

I won't be sure of anything
until I get him back.

Sue Ellen...

nothing is gonna happen
to your son. Nothing.

I appreciate you seeing
me at this hour, Mr. Ballard.

I hate disrupting the
boy's school term...

but with threats of kidnapping,
you can't be too careful.

I understand. A father has
to take every precaution.

Yeah, yeah. It's a strange
world we live in, isn't it?

Now, I have your assurance that
nobody will know his real name?

John Ross Ewing does
not exist at this school.

The name on this registration form
is the only one anyone will know.

Good, good.

And just to show my appreciation,
I think you'll find in this envelope...

enough money to buy that
gymnasium you've been looking for.

Well...

We are grateful for
every donation, Mr. Ewing.

- You'|| watch out for my boy, won't you?
- As if he were my own.

Yeah, thank you,
I appreciate that.

How long will John
Ross be staying with us?

Until it's safe to come home.

With kidnappers, you
can't take any chances.

That ranks right up there...

with one of the all-time worst
experiences I've ever had.

- You've gotta be kidding me.
- Nope.

I was really hoping it
wasn't gonna be that good.

But it was.

Well, are we bragging?

You haven't got any
plans for later, have you?

How much later?

May I spend the night?

Well, let's say...

I won't be kicking you out.

Why is it when something
terrific comes along...

there's always something
standing in its way?

I know.

It should be the beginning
for us, shouldn't it?

I think I'm gonna be sad
when you go to Dallas.

Well, I don't have to go alone.

We always seem to be
saying goodbye, don't we?

I've never met anyone
like you, Bobby Ewing.

I'm not so sure I will again.

You would really
love Southfork, really.

Hey, let's not talk.

- He||o, Sly.
- Oh, hello, Mrs. Ewing.

- I'm looking for Mr. J.R. Ewing.
- Is he in?

- Well, yes, but...
- Thank you.

- What are you doing here?
- Mr. J.R. Ewing?

- That's right?
- You're being served with habeas corpus.

What?

You've been ordered to produce
John Ross within three days.

- Huh?
- See you in court.

How's that young stud
of yours, Sue Ellen?

Is youth everything
it's cracked up to be?

See you in court.

- What brings you here, Mr. Denault?
- We||, call me Casey, please?

I don't think you're somebody I
wanna know on a first name basis.

You're not making
this very easy, are you?

I didn't invite you to my restaurant
but you're here. What would you like?

Well, I came to
talk to you about...

- some business.
- Really?

I guess you know by
now, I was working for J.R.

- That was pretty difficult to figure out.
- Anyway, that's over now.

JR. used me up and “new me aux.

It's a sad story.

Miss Stevens, if I don't get
something going real soon...

I gonna be on a one-way
trip back to Tulsa.

And what's it to me?

Money.

Maybe a fortune.

I've already made my fortune.

But you've never had the
excitement of striking oil.

Now, I'm talking about
oil land my daddy left me.

Now, I need to run some tests.

Tests take money...

but if there's oil, I'll make
you my partner, fifty-fifty.

What do you say?

I'm not even nibbling.

Well, why not?

Think you're offering me something I
haven't heard a thousand times before?

You're just another hustler.

Since I came into money,
I've met plenty of them.

Who do you think you
are, talking to me like that?

What is your story? I heard
when you came to Dallas...

you had about a nickel to your
name till J.R. sponsored you.

And here you are, a
hundred million dollars richer.

You sure as hell didn't
work for any of that money.

Don't go getting high
and mighty with me.

Probably the only honest dollar you
ever earned was in this restaurant.

You know something?

Come to think of it, if I had
a pretty face like yours...

and a nice, fine-looking body...

I might not be in the
position I'm in right now.

You know something, Mr. Denault?

You're just like all the other
bitter, little people on the outside.

You're just trying to figure out
how to get what you don't have.

You're not gonna get it from me.

Good evening, Jeremy.

Better be quick,
dinner will be here soon.

Yeah.

- Something from the bar, Mr. Barnes?
- I'll have my usual, Debi.

- I'll have a refill.
- Have a nice evening.

Thanks for seeing me, Jeremy.

You said on the phone I
wouldn't be disappointed.

- Better not be.
- No.

It must be pretty nice being
the head of Westar again.

It is. Can we cut the
small talk, get down to it?

You know. I've always
enjoyed that about you.

I wanna dispose of my natural gas
holdings and I wanna sell them to you.

Well, you do have my attention.

It'd be a nice
acquisition for you.

It's the biggest gas
strike in Texas history.

I know Wilson Cryder...

and the late Dr. Styles had
some interest in your holdings.

Hey, they were both ready
to kill for it, you know that.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Everybody in town wanted that.

Now I'm willing to hand it
to you on a silver platter.

Why?

Because I've always
had a soft spot for you.

Right.

No, I'll tell you.

I've really accomplished
what I want to with that...

and I was talking to a friend...

and it's just time for me
to move on to other things.

I think the question I
asked you was why me?

Because Wilson
Clyde! is a rotten wimp.

Because old man Styles,
he wasn't long for this world.

And if I put the
feather in your cap...

I know you'll put
it to good use.

Plus...

you are the one person I know...

who will continue to wage
war against J.R. Ewing.

And I am counting on that.

Well, how much?

Jeremy...

for you, a special price.

I mean it.

Ray?

Ray, honey.

It's me.

Honey.

Next, on Dallas.

- My God.
- Sold it to Jeremy Wendell at Westar.
