Dallas (1978–1991): Season 11, Episode 6 - Tough Love - full transcript

Last on Dallas:

You're in business. All it
takes is a check and I own it.

Your company owns it
and I own your company.

We're a perfect
match, Mrs. Ewing.

You wanna prove to the world
that you're a winner, so do I.

- I hear you've been looking for me.
- Oh, yeah.

Don't ask me why.

Don't forgive. Don't forget. Do
unto others before they do unto you.

- Didn't give you a clue?
- Said he'd meet us at Southfork.

“I couldn't stand to destroy our love
by having you see me the way I am.

And if you love me, I beg
you not to try and find me.



I love you forever.“

“Bobby with love always.“

Hey, Bob.

Going out for a beer.

- You want some company?
- No!

No.

- Hello?
- He||o, Jenna.

Is Ray there?

Yes, just a minute.

Ray?

R's JR.

7?

Ray, I'm gonna need your help.

Bobby just charged out of here like an
accident looking for a place to happen.



I'm on my way.

What's wrong?

It's Bobby.

He's gonna need
some looking after.

Where have you been so
late? Boy, you look terrible.

You wanna just shut up
and stay out of my way?

Aren't you gonna
answer the door?

I heard about Pam
leaving the hospital.

Yeah, yeah. She's gone.

- But where?
- Look, I don't know.

Nobody knows where,
so you guys wanna just"?

Please, I'm sorry.
Just leave me alone.

I need some time to think.

But surely the police or a
private detective could find her.

No, you don't understand.
She doesn't wanna be found.

She wants to be
remembered the way she was.

This is just tough on me.
I... I just need to be alone.

What are you talking about?

You're a grown man.

You sound like a
runny-nosed sissy to me.

That was uncalled-for, Dandy.

Uncalled-for, is it? What
are you now, his guardian?

Cliff has been terribly hurt.

So? It's only his
sister. Big deal.

Listen, you old man, why don't you
go find someplace else to flop tonight?

Not on your
life. I like it here.

And the price is right.

Nothing.

You go find yourself a room. The last thing
Cliff needs is your insensitive mouth.

You're gonna stake out a
claim on him and I'm in your way.

Out.

That's right. Throw me out so
you could satisfy your carnal needs.

Would you get the hell out?

Why not?

The company here stinks.

Listen, partner, I asked
you to keep these coming.

Your funeral.

And I don't need a
sermon from you either.

You, uh, look a little
lonesome, cowboy.

There's nothing worse
than drinking alone.

Unless you prefer it, and I do.

Oh, you don't mean that.

Come on. Buy me a drink.

Look, darling, I'm
not in the mood...

so why don't you run along
and annoy somebody else?

Hey, nobody talks
to me like that.

Is he bothering you, lady?

Yeah, he's being real nasty.

Let's hear you
apologize to the lady.

Anybody ever tell you you
got a face like a mongoose?

This is the sixth bar you dragged
me into. We've never gonna...

Well, we found him
now. Get out of the way.

- Excuse me.
- Ray, get him.

- Bob?
- Stay out of this!

Sony.

Hey.

Who's gonna pay for this mess?

Send the bill to Southfork.

- Good morning, J.R.
- Mama.

- J.R.
- Clayton.

We heard you and Ray
bring Bobby home last night.

I'm sorry, there was nothing I
could do to keep the noise down.

I know that a man's gotta
work out his frustrations.

Yes, but does it always
have to be by fighting?

What do you expect him to
do, Ellie? Take up needlepoint?

Clayton's right, Mama.

You've been around
Texas men all your life.

There's nothing like a little
brawl to work off some steam.

Well, I gotta get going.

You better take a
look at that, Clayton.

- Damn it.
- What is it?

“Pamela Ewing disappears,
“ all over the papers.

Oh, dear.

I hoped they could keep
that out of the paper.

Too many people at the hospital knew.
You can't keep a thing like that quiet.

Poor little Christopher.

Morning, Bobby.

Morning, Mama.

- Morning.
- I thought you'd still be sleeping.

I, uh, had to talk to
Christopher this morning.

You told him everything?

- Yeah.
- And?

He seems fine.

He seems to be accepting it all.

Actually, I'm a little surprised
that he's handling it so well.

He's not, Bobby.
He's covering up.

When he left for school this
morning, it was as if he knew nothing.

And that's a bad sign.

He's gonna need watching.

I guess I'd better pull myself together
or I won't be any use to him at all.

Take it easy, Bobby. You're
being too hard on yourself.

If Christopher can go to school,
I can sure as hell go to work.

I'm gonna go in
and get cleaned up.

Good morning, Mr. Ewing.

- Hey, how you doing?
- Just great. Have a nice day.

Thank you.

- Mr. Ewing.
- Cryder?

Pleasant suite of
offices you have.

It's adequate.

Did you come to see me?

Ha, ha. No.

No, I persuaded the building
manager to let me look at them.

But I'm afraid I may
have upset your secretary.

Well, you could have
called, made an appointment.

We do that in Dallas.

I had an unexpected
few moments to spare...

and since Westar is thinking
of buying the building...

I thought I'd look it over.

Expanding, are you?

We're running out of space.

We have some low-level
executives we need to find space for.

That would mean, of course...

that we would have to
evict all the current tenants.

Oh, of course.

Out of all the skyscrapers in
Dallas, this is the perfect one?

No, not really.

We would prefer a
more prestigious property.

And I am looking at
several other buildings.

I understand that you have an
option to expand to several other floors.

A bit optimistic,
don't you think?

Because personally, I don't
think that the company, um...

What do you call it?

JRE, something or other?

Well, I don't think you'll have
any reason to expand now.

Or in the future.

Cryder, you just
joined the crowd.

Crowd?

The crowd of people who have lived
to regret underestimating J.R. Ewing.

Hello?

This is JR. have.

I want you to proceed
full speed ahead.

Whatever you have to
do, do it. But do it now.

Good morning.

Would you like some juice?

You spend the night?

You were sobbing.

I guess that's why I
wanted to be alone.

April, look, I'm... I'm sorry.

I mean, what you've done is a
nice thing and I guess I was just...

so upset about Pam
that I was being rude.

Oh, I swear, I don't
understand my sister, you know?

I mean, how could she think
that I care what she looks like?

You know? I mean,
she has to know that.

Good Lord, there are
only the two of us left.

We've always looked out for each other.
I don't know why it'd be any different now.

We had our differences,
we even had our fights...

but we always still
loved each other.

I don't know if I can
make it without her.

Sure you can, Cliff.

You're just gonna have
to give it some time.

Where's Dandy?

I bought him a
room for the night.

I didn't think that you
needed him around here.

April, I appreciate
what you've been doing.

Look, you didn't have to
throw him out of my house.

Cliff?

He was making fun of you.

So?

You know, he can
do that. I don't mind.

You don't mind?

No, I don't mind. You
know, he's a nice old guy.

And he's important to me.

Why?

Because he reminds you of your
father? Cliff, he is not your father.

I know he's not, but I care about him. I
care where he sleeps and where he drinks.

I'm sure he'll be back.

Yeah, you don't
feel sorry for him?

Cliff...

this is your life and your home.

Where are you going?

I'm going to wash up.

I got my own life to care of.

- J.R., come in, you old rascal.
- Hollis.

Sit down, sit down.

- Thanks, Elaine.
- Yes, sir.

Well, I hear you're
back in business.

I never got out. Just
moved up the street a bit.

Well, now that you're closer, maybe
we can do some real business with you.

You know, that's the first friendly sound
I've heard from a Dallas businessman...

since the government
made a case out of Ewing Oil.

Well, maybe I've got a
longer memory than most...

but I always found it
healthier and more profitable...

to be on the right side of J.R.
Ewing than the wrong side.

Well, I like hearing that too.

You know, a good friend of mine
told me that you're about to call a loan...

on old Walter Hicks for
$5 million, is that right?

Already called it.

He has about an hour.

Or we pick up about $20 million in
oil tools, property and other assets.

Well, I'm sure you don't
wanna be in the oil-tool business.

Not these days.

So I'm paying that loan.

You are?

Heh. We“. that's
mighty nice of you. JR.

I never knew you
and him were friends.

I never met the loser.

I just can't resist picking up a
$20-million deal for 5 million.

Are the foreclosure
papers in the works?

Afraid so.

All right, just transfer everything
to a little subsidiary I own...

called Deep Sands
Incorporated, all right?

I'm sure you'll want
this strictly confidential?

Absolutely.

I don't suppose he has a chance in
the world of coming up with money.

About as much chance as
me opening a branch office...

in Nome, Alaska.

That's what I wanna hear.

Interland Airline.

Flight 68, nonstop to Chicago...

is now ready for
boarding at Gate 50.

I have your limousine
ready whenever you are.

Oh, great. Thank you very much.

May I drop you some place?

Going by the office?

I'm gonna go to Southfork, but I
can take you wherever you wanna go.

No, I'll take a cab.

I have to get to Meese-Cate and go
over the documents on the LA. deal.

Don't you do anything but work?

You want this deal to
go through, don't you?

You wanna spend all your
time on that little computer.

- So?
- You don't even stop for a meal.

When your husband is
in the middle of a deal...

does he have time
for anything else?

No, I guess not.

We're off to a real good start
with the Secret Hours deal.

I hope so.

I know so.

He's a real handsome man.

Uh, let's get to Southfork. I
haven't seen the family in a while.

Yes, ma'am.

- Yeah?
- J.R.? Casey Denault is here.

All right, thank you.

All right, Sly, hold
all calls, please.

Well, how was your
lunch with the cartel?

You were right.

They did talk about quietly bidding
on that field in Angelina County.

One right near the
Sam Rayburn Reservoir.

That one right there?

- Yeah, that's it.
- Mm-hm?

I don't think they'll
go ahead with it.

No? What are they
hesitating about?

A geologist they knew pretty
well stopped by the table...

said that field was
almost played out.

Yeah.

That'd be Melvin Benis.

- You know him?
- Ha-ha-ha.

- You planted him?
- Well, of course.

Nothing like bad news
to get rid of scared money.

And what else?

Well, it worked.

Mr. Lee was ready to back off.

Uh-huh.

And Marilee Stone?

She's a pretty tough lady.
She still wants to pursue it.

Uh-huh.

All right.

Let's give old
Marilee a little ring.

We'll give her a little
call, setup a meeting.

And tell her you're interested
in going ahead with the deal.

Okay, but why?

Just talk to her.
I'll explain later.

Uh, Miss Stone, please.
Casey Denault calling.

Miss Stone, Casey.

I'd like to set up a meeting
with you about that field.

When?

Oh, okay.

At your house?

Sure, I'll be there.

Ha, ha. Swim trunks?

Right, uh, I'll see you.

She wants me to
wear swim trunks.

Yeah, that figures. That
means we're gonna get that field.

Phew. But, J.R.. She's
a lot older than me.

That's the way
she likes it, boy.

Well, go on.

And don't forget to stop at
the drugstore on the way.

Oh, Marilee.

Oh. Oh.

People call me “the father of Texas“
even though I was never married.

You know why?

Because I brought the first
300 families here to Texas.

Pictured as some
kind of a Robin Hood.

They had me stealing from
the rich to give to the poor.

Well, yes, I stole
from the rich...

but I don't remember
giving a thing to the poor.

- So long, kids.
- So long.

Come along, children.

Hey, Chris, go long for a pass.

- Give me my hat back.
- Try me.

Come on, Chris. What's
the matter with you?

Christopher, catch it.

I don't wanna play.

Hey, Ben, game's over.

Behave yourselves, boys.

Come on. Let's go.

What's eating him?

Didn't you hear?
His mom ran away.

If I was his mom,
I'd run away too.

Is he all right?

Yes, ma'am. He's fine.

- Yeah?
- Serena Wald is here to see you.

All right, thank you.

Serena, come on in, darling.

Well, your troubles are over.

I got Walter's check
on the desk right there.

It's all over for Walter.

He's finished.

What?

It's too late.

I didn't realize the
loan was due so soon.

The funny thing is, is that Walter
managed to raise the money by himself.

He must owe half
his friends in Texas.

He got to the bank two hours late,
and they'd already foreclosed on him.

You are kidding.

Some other company
bought up everything.

I tell you, those bankers, they're
no better than highwaymen.

You'd think they'd have enough
compassion to wait till the end of today.

J.R., I don't know
what I'm gonna do.

Oh, what you're gonna do...

is go on with this Walter Hicks. I
mean, he sounds like a hell of guy.

He won't see me anymore.

- Why not?
- Pride.

He thinks that in my
eyes, he's a failure.

And I can't convince
him otherwise.

- Well, with time, I'm sure...
- J.R., he's leaving Dallas.

He's going to the Middle East to
work so he can maybe start again.

I don't know what I'm gonna do.

I don't wanna go back to
the old life, it scares me.

I know that.

JR...

think about it.

If we could work out some
sort of exclusive arrangement...

then I'd be all right.

Well, what you gotta do now is stop
worrying. That's what I want you to do.

Now, you just go back to
your hotel, have a nice meal.

Get some sleep, and I'll see you in
the morning. Here, here, take this.

Take that. Would you, please?

Mm. Those damn bankers.
You just can't trust them.

Hold it, son.

Whoa.

All right.

Come on down. Time
to take a break. Unh.

- I'm not tired.
- Yeah.

Well, it's time for me
to take a break, okay?

Come here, son.

- I'm fine.
- Yeah.

Well, just sit here
with me for a while.

Christopher, isn't
there something...

that you wanna ask me that
you didn't ask me this morning?

I don't know why we had to stop.

I could have
ridden for miles yet.

Don't you wanna
ask me about Mama?

About why she went away?

No.

Well, now, I don't understand that,
because when she was in the hospital...

you asked about
her all the time.

Yeah?

Now I know why she didn't
wanna see me and why she left.

Oh, is that right?

Sure.

She doesn't love me
anymore, because I'm adopted.

Oh, no.

That's absolutely not true.

Then why don't you find her?

I know you could if
you really wanted to.

Yes, I suppose I could.

See? But you won't.

Because you know Mama
doesn't love me anymore.

Christopher...

Mama has always
known you were adopted.

She's always loved you.

She loves you even right now.

Yeah?

Then why did she go away?

Now, you listen to me
and you listen real carefully.

Mama was hurt...

very bad in that accident.

So badly...

that she felt it she came home
that she would hurt us as a family.

Very much.

Why?

Because she's not the
same anymore, Christopher.

She went away so she
wouldn't bring us pain.

She couldn't stand that.

She loves us too
much to do that.

And the point is, Christopher...

if we love Mama...

we have to let her go.

Because that's what
she wants for you...

for me and for herself.

Now do you think you love
Mama enough to do that?

I guess so.

It's a tough kind of love
to understand at any age.

Especially at yours.

What's going on?

- I'm just worried about this acquisition.
- Daylight is the time to worry, darling.

I'm not as experienced in
business as you are, though.

Wanna talk about it?

If we finalize the deal for
the chain of lingerie shops...

I may be over my
head financially.

What does your
Mr. Pearce think about it?

He says I can handle it.

But you're not sure?

I just think he's
moving too fast.

Mm. Well, it's your
money. Slow him down.

But he's a very driven man.

You ought to know how
to handle a person like that.

- But I've never done business with you.
- Ha, ha.

I think you ought to call him up and setup
an appointment, lay out your priorities.

- But I can't call him now. It's too late.
- A man like that works 24 hours a day.

Go ahead, do it. I'm gonna
go downstairs for a little bit.

- I knew I should have turned the phone 0”.
- Mm-mm. I have to answer it.

I have a better idea.

- What?
- Let it ring.

- It's distracting.
- Not to me.

Listen, honey, if somebody's calling
me this late, it's gotta be important.

- Nick?
- Yeah.

Oh, I was just about to hang up.

Is there a problem?

Uh.! hope I'm nut
interrupting you.

No, and stop apologizing.
What is it, Mrs. Ewing?

The Secret Hours
deal is very costly...

and I have details I'd
like to discuss with you.

Okay, then we
better meet tomorrow.

Uh, 9:00, my office?

No, uh, 9:00 is not good.

Um, I tell you what, how about
3:00 at the vineyard on Greenville?

Three o'clock. Okay.

Good night.

A client?

Yeah.

A lady client?

Yeah.

They all fall for
you, don't they?

Nothing intrigues a beautiful
woman more than a man...

who won't mix
business with pleasure.

Come on, boys. We don't
wanna be late for school.

Okay.

Just remember, they
give you any trouble...

- you come to me.
- Okay.

What's all that?

- Nothing.
- Nothing.

Okay. I'm gonna pick
you up right after school...

- and take you to your ice-skating lesson.
- You have to work.

Would you not worry?
I'm gonna be there.

- Okay, Daddy.
- Okay, now, buckle up.

- Thank you, Clayton.
- Okay.

- Oh, hello, Jenna.
- Hi.

Heh. A little surprised to
see you here at the ranch.

Well, I came to see Miss Ellie.
I know how upset she must be.

Bobby, I feel so badly
about you and Pam.

Thank you.

It's hard to believe
her running off like that.

I know how much she
loved you and Christopher.

Well, that's why
she said she did it.

I think I can understand that...

but try explaining
it to a 6-year-old.

I don't think I could.

So how's the baby?

He's adorable, Bobby.

He's an absolute jewel.

Isn't it ironic?

Now that it seems that I've got my life
in order, yours has become so painful.

I can deal with that.

It's Christopher that
I'm worried about.

I know.

Bobby, for the longest
time, I tried to hate you.

I wanted to. And I
thought I had every right to.

- Jenna, you...
- I never could.

And I never will.

It seems like a long time ago.

Not for me.

Look, I...

I just wanted to let you know...

that if you ever
needed quiet company...

you could always
come and visit with us.

Thank you.

I better be going.
Miss Ellie's waiting.

I'll see you later.

Bye.

Every time I pick you
up, you get a little heavier.

Your granddaddy's son
of a portly man, you know?

Keep this up. I won't be
able to get you in a saddle.

What do you mean?

- Lucas isn't gonna be able to ride?
- Ha, ha.

Well, let's just say he's
getting to be such a little fatso.

Oh, he is not. He's perfect.

Well, hear that, Lucas?

Your sister is
quite a supporter.

- You wanna hold him?
- Sure.

Here we go, buddy.

There you are.

- Yeah.
- Oh, he's not a false.

Well, I was just
kidding, Charlie.

I know how much you love him.

But you miss little Margaret.

Yes, I do.

If Donna marries that senator...

are you still gonna be
able to see your baby?

You bet I will.

Just...

flying to Washington...

I just won't be able to do
that as much as I'd like to.

Well, I'll let you play with
Lucas in the meantime.

That sounds like a
real good idea to me.

In fact, you can have him now.

I have to go talk to Mom
before I go to school.

Here we go.

Your mom has gone
out for a little while.

Where?

To Southfork.

To see Miss Ellie.

She wanted to tell her how badly we
all feel about what happened to Pam.

What if she sees Bobby?

Don't you trust your
mother as much as I do?

I guess so.

It's just that I like things
the way they are right now.

I just don't want our lives
to get mixed up anymore.

Hey, neither do I.

- Well, I like you, Ray.
- Thanks.

- See you later.
- Bye.

Serena?

How you doing, darling?

Not too well.

No?

Did you think about
what I suggested?

Yes, yes, I did.
And I appreciate it.

But like I told you...

I'm committed to Sue Ellen.
I'm gonna keep it that way.

Then that's it.

My settlement
didn't come through.

Oh, I'm sorry to hear that.

I have no choice.

I'll have to play Russian
roulette back in my old profession.

Oh, sorry to hear
about that, huh?

You know, you and I have
been friends for a long time.

I always felt that I could tell you
anything and it wouldn't go any further.

That's true.

Did the rest of your
clients feel that same way?

It's a code I've lived by.

Well, I'm prepared to set you up so you'll
never have to worry about money again.

If you were to find a way to
bend that code just a little bit.

What would I have to do?

I need to know everything
there is to know about somebody.

Yeah, things that even the best
detectives in Dallas couldn't find out.

And I figure that you and some of the
ladies you know could tum that trick...

if you'll forgive the pun.

Who is it?

Wilson Cryder?

Head of Westar?

Jeremy Wendell's been replaced?

That's right.

I know what Westar did to you.

You've got a deal.
I'll do my best, J.R.

You always did, darling.

Always. Ha, ha.

I think I'm gonna take
a ride over to Ray's.

Take a look at those horses. I
haven't seen them in quite a while.

- Now, Clayton.
- We have a truce, remember?

No, I got the new medication from
Dr. Gordon and I've been taking it.

I know.

But he warned you
about overdoing.

I don't intend to.

But like the song says:

“I've grown accustomed
to your face.“

- Morning.
- Morning.

- Good morning.
- Good morning.

Something is really bothering me
and I need to talk to both of you about it.

Ever since I got back, I keep
thinking that if I had gone to see Pam...

instead of flying off to California,
I could have talked her out of it.

- Oh...
- No, you wouldn't have had a chance.

No one was allowed to visit
from the time she saw herself...

until she left the hospital.

I know. That's exactly
what J.R. told me last night.

I just don't wanna believe it.

We'll just have to
do what Pam asked.

Put it behind us.

The important thing now
is Christopher's happiness.

I know. I'll do whatever I can.

If Christopher goes through an
identity crisis, he will need you.

After all, you play a part in
his life he's not even aware of.

Well, of course.

I'm his real aunt.

Kristin's sister.

Well, it may be too
much for him right now...

but, uh, it he starts asking
those hard questions...

At the moment, he needs to know
that we all love him and want him.

The cruel trick
fate's played on him.

One little boy
losing two mothers.

Hi, Miss Stone.

I wanna thank you for
inviting me here. Ha, ha.

What a great
place for a meeting.

I'm glad you like it.

I think it's time we were
on a first-name basis.

- Okay, Marilee.
- Hmm.

- Would you like a little champagne?
- Sure. I'd love some.

Yolanda?

Well, maybe I ought to
consider buying a house in Dallas.

I sure like what I've
seen in the city so far.

Well, it you decide to move here,
you certainly won't lack for excitement.

What I need to know is...

is it gonna be lucrative
enough for me to stay?

I'm sure I could use
a little persuasion...

to convince Jordan and Andy and the
rest of the cartel to throw in with you.

That would be terrific.

Terrific is exactly
what I had in mind.

Don't you wanna swim?

Sure.

Don't you?

Well, maybe later.

To cool off.

Don't worry about a thing.

I'm totally prepared.

I'm dead serious, Steve. I'm thinking
about getting out of the oil business.

I wanna go back into
the legal profession.

Move to L.A.? I don't know, I
hadn't really thought about that.

Why don't you talk to Terry?

See what he has to say about it. I come out
there, I'll hang my shingle in your shop.

Truly.

Okay. You give my regards
to Aaron and Kayla, please?

Yup. Mm-hm.

Bye.

- Yeah.
- Cliff?

Will you come out here, please?

Okay.

Cliff, can you tell this little
lady that I'm a friend of yours?

The last time he spent time in Pam's
office, I had the place sprayed for fleas.

Well, you're gonna
have to do it again.

Okay, Dandy, come on.

Thank you, Jackie.

Boy, I see you're still loaded
with all sorts of libations.

Go ahead, have one if you really have
to. But, please, will you take it easy?

You know, an oilman like yourself
can't spend his time moping around.

Maybe I was too coarse with you.

About your sister.

But I tell you, the best way to
heal a wound like that is to work.

Dandy, do you have something specific
in mind you wanna talk to me about?

As a matter of fact, I do. I
don't suppose you'll believe me.

I can take you out there
and show you for yourself.

See, I own this piece
of land in east Texas...

that has more oil
under it than Spindletop.

- Is that right? How do you know?
- I know. Because I'm an oilman.

I'm one of the best.

I'm like your daddy.

I smell it right
under the ground.

Why haven't you drilled it?

Well, I didn't have the money.

But, come on, Cliff, it's there.
Come on, it will do you good.

Get out of this stuffy office. Get
your hands and your boots dirty.

Let me take you out there
and show you the land.

Cliff, I'm right.

Boy, is this familiar.

I'll think about it.

You're not the only
oil company in Texas.

I only gave you a shot at this
because you were nice to me.

Okay, if you don't want it...

I'm out of here.

Hey, hey, I said
I'd think about it.

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

- Mr. Pearce's table, please?
- He's not here yet.

That's strange. He's never late.

May I seat you?

Yes, that will be fine. Thanks.

Thank you.

- Uh, I'll have an iced tea, please.
- Right away.

- May I help you?
- Mr. Pearce's table, please.

Right this way.

- April.
- Hi, Sue Ellen.

We really do keep running
into each other, don't we?

Are you on a busman's holiday,
trying out other restaurants?

No, I have a business meeting.

Ah. Me too.

You know who it's with.

Mr. Pearce.

Nicholas Pearce called you?

Guilty as charged.

Please.

- Thank you.
- Two more iced tea, please.

Yes, sir.

Uh, what is this all about?

I thought bringing you two together
would solve a lot of problems.

Well, maybe you
would like to explain that.

Yes, your phone call was
intriguing, but totally lacking in details.

You two are a perfect match.

Sue Ellen has a thriving business
that needs an influx of cash to expand.

Valentine Lingerie?

And you are a relative.

Very distant.

With a hundred
million to invest.

Are you talking partnership?

I'm talking investment.

You've taken a lot for granted.

I don't think so.

Well, you do have
a great product.

You use it?

You'll never know.

I take it this expansion
program is a problem?

She can handle it.

But it's gonna be close.

Sue Ellen...

going into business with you sounds
like something I might be interested in.

Two beautiful women and
Valentine Lingerie? Ha, ha.

It's a match made in heaven.

Come on, boys and girls,
it's time for your lesson.

Hey, you better go on out
there, I'll wait for you right here.

In a minute, Daddy. I
wanna show you a trick.

All right, one trick.

Oh, jeez.

- Oh, are you all right? Oh.
- Oh.

- Yeah.
- I'm sorry. Am I all right?

Can I help you up? Sorry. I
wasn't looking where I was going.

- That's okay.
- Sure you're okay?

Oh, I think so. Heh.

- Is that your son?
- Oh, yeah, that's him right there.

- He's a really handsome little boy.
- Yes, he is.

Next on Dallas:

My name is Bobby Ewing.

- This is my son, Christopher.
- Lisa Alden.

Cryder is shrewd. He's knowledgeable.
He's a happily married man.

If the husband's gonna
be so squeaky clean...

we have to find
something about his wife.

If your daddy, Digger
Barnes, came here today...

and told you he smelled oil...

you'd kick him right
out the door just like me.

I need to talk to her. You know
where she is, setup a meeting.

You must be the famous J.R.
Ewing. I'm Nicholas Pearce.

I went into Dallas
and I bought this for

you. I really want you
to be my wife, Jenna.
