Dallas (1978–1991): Season 12, Episode 15 - Country Girl - full transcript

NARRATOR:
Last on Dallas:

- You take me back as a full partner.
- No way.

Then no Ellis County land.

- Mr. Lockwood, you're not what I imagined.
- Better or worse?

Call an ambulance. He's not breathing.

[GASPING]

Do what I tell you
and everything will be fine.

I didn't save your life
just so I could tell your daddy.

- Maybe we'll end up one big happy family.
- Lf you stay off of drugs.

- I want you to be really happy with me.
- You could make me real happy right now.

- The man's an absolute monster.
- You, uh, ain't seen nothing yet.



Aw, now come on, Bob. Back off.
I ain't come here to fight.

I wanted to welcome Mama
and Clayton home.

That's the only reason
I'm even standing here with you.

[J.R. SIGHS]

If you and Barnes wanna sell all that
Ewing property down in Ellis County...

...I think it only fair
you make me a full partner in the company.

I said to myself, "Maybe this time
he's gonna stick to his promise."

It was only a matter of time before you
wanted back into oil at the company.

- Bob, oil is the only business I know.
- You gave me your word, J.R.

I remember how grateful you were
at the time.

Yeah, I was grateful, but, uh,
Barnes wasn't in the firm then.

I did what I thought was best
for Ewing Oil and the family.

Now, who appointed you God, anyhow?
I think it's a sad state of affairs...

...when you'd trust Cliff Barnes as a partner
over your own brother.



- I really do.
- We had an agreement.

If I give in to you, soon you're gonna want
Cliff out of the company altogether.

I see that jerk around the office
it makes me wanna puke.

He thought of the Ellis County land deal.
It wasn't you or me. The partnership works.

All right, Bobby, all right.
I will stay out of oil.

You're the boss, but I am gonna
continue to operate in all the other areas.

If you wanna make me a full partner,
then I just might reconsider.

Bobby, J.R. They're here.

ELLIE: Hi.
J. R: Hey, Mama.

[ALL CHATTERING]

These are for you, from Thanksgiving.

JOHN ROSS: Thanks, Grandma.
- There's more when you get home.

LUC Y:
Didn't you have to go through customs?

We cleared customs in New York.

Here, give me those tickets.
I'll have the boys pick up the bags.

- How are Ray and Jenna doing?
- Wonderful. The children are marvelous.

They're building a home in Switzerland
in a couple months.

- How's everything at home?
- Oh, wonderful, Mama. Couldn't be better.

[CHUCKLES]

[SIGHS]

DON:
I'm going away for a few days.

- Why?
- I'm concerned about the story.

You've given me a look at J.R.'s character.
Now I have to give the plot some focus.

[SUE ELLEN SIGHS]

But you don't have to go away to do that.
I wanna help you.

You already have.
It's work I have to do alone.

Otherwise the movie
will just be series of sketches.

Let me show you something.

I brought these in for you to read.

I think, uh...

I think they'll clarify a lot of things.

Your diaries.

You'll know more about me
than any other person alive.

[SIGHS]

Kristin?

Yes. My sister.

Sue Ellen, I brought your things.

Regular angel of mercy, aren't you?

So supportive.

Keeping my secrets. Taking me in.

What happened?
What are you talking about.

I have finally figured everything out,
that's all.

You have been trying to frame me.

You're crazy.

[CHUCKLES]

Well, you were right.

I was at that condo that night
looking for J.R.

And, yes, I did have his gun.

But you saw how drunk I was,
and you still gave me a drink...

...knowing I'd put the gun down
to take it.

Who's there?

SUE ELLEN: You went to the office
that night with J.R. 's gun.

[GUNSHOT]

[J.R. GRUNTS]

[J.R. THUDS]

- It was you, Kristin, who shot J.R.
- You think you've got it all figured out.

Get me the police.

I wouldn't do that if I were you, J.R.

Not unless you want your child
born in prison.

Now, wouldn't that be a scandal.

Jock Ewing's grandson, jail baby.

[CHUCKLES]

- I think I'll write my memoirs there.
- You're bluffing.

Call Dr. Gibson.
I saw him yesterday. He'll tell you.

OFFICER [ON PHONE]:
Dallas Police Department.

Give me that phone.
I'm not going to jail for her.

Nobody's going to jail.

I'll handle Kristin my own way.

Wow.

Will you read the rest?

I'd better.

CLIFF:
April.

Slow down.

[PANTING]

[CLIFF CHUCKLES]

[CLIFF SIGHS]

- Think you're little out of shape.
- Oh, that. You'd noticed? Ha, ha.

You're gonna have to make time
for a regular workout program.

- I don't have any time. I'm busy.
- I'm gonna see to it that you exercise.

[CLIFF CHUCKLES]

I don't know if I wanna put up
with you telling me what to do.

Good friends are hard to find.
I wanna keep you around.

Well...

...just give me a break.
I gotta get this blood out of my eyes.

Hell, I think I broke a vessel.

If you really wanna take care of your health
you ought to get out of Ewing Oil.

No.

J.R. Is gonna chop you into pieces.

I don't think Bobby
has the smarts to stop him.

I've been thinking about it enough.
I like working with Bobby...

...and I like having the Ewings
and the Farlows for relatives.

Except for J.R., of course.

And I am not gonna let J.R.
Muscle me out of a great partnership.

- I just don't wanna see you hurt.
- Don't worry about it.

I can take care of myself.
I'm going back into the office tomorrow.

Oh.

- Hello, Cally.
- Oh.

- You gave me quite a start.
- I'm sorry.

[CALLY SIGHS]

ELLIE:
What a beautiful painting.

- Oh, you're just being kind.
- No, I'm not.

- You have a wonderful sense of color.
- Well... Well, thanks.

I do it because it gives me
a real peace of mind.

I didn't see you when Clayton and I got in.
I thought you were out.

No, ma'am, I was right here.

I just didn't wanna get in the way.

Well, how could you think
that you'd be in the way?

I think I've been a burden
since I got here.

J.R. Won't take supper with me...

...or breakfast.

I even prepared
special downhome cooking for him...

...but he runs out of the house in the morning
and he doesn't come home till we're asleep.

That's just rude.

I know.

But I've been doing a whole lot of thinking
while you were gone...

...and I don't think
I rightly belong in Dallas.

I don't speak good...

...and you and Lucy, and then Tracey,
had to help me with clothes.

Well, you'll learn about that.

I don't know.

I think different
than most folks around here.

Even Bobby thought it was funny
me wanting to raise chickens for fresh eggs.

Now, Cally, I think you're sensitive
because J.R. Hasn't been treating you well.

And I don't think it's funny
about raising chickens.

They kept my daddy and me alive
during hard times.

You'll fit in.

Cally, I belong to an organization
called the Daughters of the Alamo.

They're having a meeting here
in a couple of days.

I'd like you to be with me.

I think that you'd get a better feeling
about the people here in Dallas.

Oh, Miss Ellie,
I'm just gonna feel double dumb.

Nonsense. You'll be with me.

Okay.

Then I'm gonna be scared.

Cally?

When you finish that painting,
I'd love to have it.

Well, sure.

Nobody's ever fancied
one of my paintings before.

Uh, Henry, make sure
that when you set up this corporation...

...nobody will be able to trace it back
to April, or myself, for that matter.

J.R., you know that dummy corporations
are my specialty.

There'll be such a confusing trail of paper,
an army of IRS auditors and CPAs...

...wont be able to trace it.
- That's what I like to hear.

Mr. Gyster? I'd like to speak to J.R. Alone
for few minutes, please.

Sure. I'll, uh, wait outside.
Let me know when you're done.

What's going on?

I really don't like the idea
of buying all those Ewing land holdings.

Oh.

You suddenly against making money?

No. It's just not the kind of business
I'd thought I'd be in.

April, with that supercollider
going in next to that property...

...we are gonna make millions.

It is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

Can I be honest?

If it doesn't take too much time.
We gotta get moving.

I really don't like the idea
of double-crossing Cliff and Bobby.

Well, I thought you were a businesswoman,
not some bleeding-heart social worker.

I've never let you down, April.
Don't you start with me.

Say, Henry, come on in here.

We gotta get to work.

Time is money.

[KNOCKING ON DOOR]

Come in.

I brought you your supper, John Ross.

I'm not hungry.

Your grandma made it special for you,
in honor of her and Clayton being home.

Okay, then, leave it here.

Think your grandma's a little hurt
you ain't with her her first night home.

You're hurting yourself.
You don't have the pleasure of the family.

So.

So I don't think you really hate me
as much as you used to.

You said you were gonna tell your daddy
it's me or you, and you ain't done it.

You know what I think?

You're like a deer
stuck in the headlights...

...and you don't know which way to go.

Well, I got an idea for a truce.

- A truce?
- Yeah.

When you take a meal with the family,
you don't have to talk to me.

That's dumb.

Not as dumb
as missing out on all the fun.

And I never have to call you "mother"?

Well, I ain't your mama, so that's easy.

Well, I'm not coming down tonight.

Maybe I'll try for breakfast.

Fine.

I want you to send these
down the hall to 180.

All right.

Senator Hunsacker.
What a pleasant surprise, sir.

HUNSACKER:
It's nice to see you again.

- How's everything in Austin?
- Well, smooth as glass.

Good. What are you doing here?

Well, I was suppose to have a meeting
with, uh, Cliff Barnes.

And he let an important man like you
cool your heels out here?

- Come on in to my office.
- Very friendly of you.

J. R: I'll tell you, I think that boy
was born without any manners whatsoever.

Five years later, Grandpa Southworth
bought that whole west section.

- Here you are, Mr. Ewing.
- Oh, thank you, Pete.

Tommy, that one's for you, bud.
Come here, son. Time to mount up.

Got him? And up you go.

Didn't you and Tracey
live on a ranch in Colorado?

TOMMY: Oh, we sure did.
It was on top of a mountain.

And when it was cloudy,
we needed radar to find the horses.

Come on, Tracey.
I've got a horse for you to ride.

TRACEY: How about Dynamite?
BOBBY: Nope. Not Dynamite.

- I wanna ride with you.
- You a good rider?

Oh, I had to be. Our ranch was mostly
straight up or straight down the mountain.

- Did you have special horses?
- Oh, we didn't ride horses.

We just threw a saddle on the back
of a Rocky Mountain goat and off we'd go.

CHRISTOPHER:
You're joking, aren't you, Tommy?

- What?
- The goats were a joke, weren't they?

They weren't a joke when you're going
down 1000 feet at 100 miles an hour.

- Everybody ready?
- Sure, Dad.

Tommy was just telling me
some funny stories.

Oh, is that right?

- Bob, I'm gonna pass on the ride today.
BOBBY: Oh, yeah?

My back's suddenly acting up.

Problem started in prison.

Well, then we're not gonna go either.
We just can't leave you here sitting alone.

Tracey, just go ahead, please.

I'll probably just go back to the house
and get in the pool.

Give your horse to Pete.
Have one of the men take you in.

TOMMY: Sure.
- All right, everybody, let's go. Come on.

[SPEAKING IN FRENCH]

[IN FRENCH ACCENT]
You are superb. Quelle lines.

- Who are you?
- Oh, I am a friend of Monsieur Bobby Ewing.

Je suis Professor Thomas McKay
of the Sorbonne.

I declare,
I don't understand a word you're saying.

Are you a foreigner?

I am an art expert from Paris.

Your work is beautiful.

Almost as beautiful as you are.

You're from Paris, France?

[TOMMY SPEAKS IN FRENCH]

I ain't never met a Frenchman before.

Uh, may I offer you...
How do you say? ...some advice?

I think we could find a better angle
for the painting.

Oh, well, sure.

Ah, voila, you see those trees?
It would be perfect. Quiet, secluded.

- I will help you move.
- Well, if you think so.

It is perfection.

- Uh, what is your name, ma petite?
- Cally.

Oh.

- Uh, you work here?
- Uh, no, I live here.

- Oh?
- I'm J.R. Ewing's wife.

[IN NORMAL VOICE]
Wife?

On second thought, this angle's perfect.

I'm sorry Tommy couldn't come with us.
He would have liked riding our flat land.

[TRACEY & BOBBY CHUCKLE]

I'm sure there'll be another time,
Christopher.

You know, that problem with
his back sure came up all of a sudden.

He was just fine
when we toured the ranch in the car.

- You think he was lying?
- Oh, no, I didn't say that.

I didn't even think it.
Why are you being so defensive?

Ah. I'm sorry.

It's just that Tommy and I
have been apart for so long...

...I don't really know him now.

Well, there will be plenty time to catch up.
Oh, you know what? I forgot.

A friend is opening a new club in Dallas
tomorrow night called the Club Metroplex.

- We've been invited.
- Tomorrow?

Yeah. All the yuppies are gonna be there,
the old and the young.

It's gonna be quite a bash.

We can take Tommy with us,
if you'd like.

- Sounds great. I'll accept for both of us.
- All right.

- How about me?
- No, pal. I'm sorry.

You're a little young to be a yuppie.
That's pretty young, I'll tell you.

- Hey, there's Tommy.
TOMMY: Whoa, whoa, whoa.

Oh. Whoa, son.

Tracey, let's show these tenderfeet
what a Rocky Mountain cowboy can do.

- Well, what about your back?
- Pain's gone. It does that sometimes.

- Come on, Tracey, I'll race you.
- Ha, ha. You're on. Hyah!

- Come on, Dad. Let's go catch up to them.
- No, buddy. Let's just wait here.

They haven't seen each other in a long time.
We should give them time alone together.

J. R: Barnes doesn't own that Ellis
County land, but a friend of mine does.

Senator, I have to apologize for Barnes.

He just doesn't understand
how things work around Ewing Oil. Heh.

- Well, look who's here.
- Senator, what are you doing here?

You obviously forgot our meeting,
Mr. Barnes.

And now it's too late.

Senator.

Uh, what were you doing with him?

You can't keep
a man like Hunsacker waiting.

I don't see how Barnes-Wentworth
stayed in business as long as it did.

For one,
I was not sharing an office with you.

All right, tell me, what were you
doing with Hunsacker, huh?

Well, you were suppose to tell him,
but you didn't. So I did.

Cliff, you were alienating a man
who could do us some good.

I always like to stay in close contact
with the people's representatives.

No. You like to keep them in your billfold.

Yeah.

JACKIE [O VER INTERCOM]: Yes, Cliff?
- Jackie, get me Ed Lancelot...

...at the Attorney General's office
in Austin.

JACKIE:
Okay.

[SIGHS]

[INTERCOM BUZZES]

Lancelot. Cliff Barnes.

Uh, I have a hot tip for you.

J.R. Ewing is cuddling up
to Senator Hunsacker.

Hmm. "Sticky Finger" Hunsacker.

Um, I don't really know.

Maybe the collider project?

You have to figure, if those two are involved,
there's gotta be a payoff going down.

Thank you.

Mm. Yeah. Happy hunting.

[CHUCKLES]

[KNOCKING ON DOOR]

[SIGHS]

What are you doing in here?

I bought you some shirts.

And I found this.

So?

That's it? "So?"

What more do you want?

Tell me about the cocaine.

Nothing to tell.

- You're still using it.
- No.

I keep it
like some alcoholics keep one bottle.

Just to remind me of the nightmare
that stuff was.

[SIGHS]

Flush it.

Sure.

[TOILET FLUSHES]

That's better, son.

[KNOCKING ON DOOR]

Yeah?

Oh, hello, son. Come on in.

- Hi, Dad.
- About ready for school?

- Yeah, but I wanted to talk to you.
- Yeah? About what?

Cally.

- Cally?
- I decided she isn't so bad.

What made you change your mind?

Dad, something happened.

Yeah?

Couple of days ago I had an accident.

I was doing things I wasn't supposed to.

Then I slipped and I hit my head.

Knocked me out,
and then I fell into the pool.

What?

Cally rescued me. She saved my life.

The paramedics came,
but I was okay by then.

She didn't say anything
about that to me.

She didn't wanna get me in trouble
with you.

- She kept her word too.
- But why didn't you tell me, son?

I didn't want you to marry her
because she saved my life.

But you're telling me now.

Yeah.

I'm gonna be late for school.

Look at how these ladies are dressed.

- I reckon everyone in Dallas is rich.
- No, they're not.

That's why the DO A was organized.

To try to help
as many unfortunate people as we can.

I know about charity.

We have programs for the elderly
and for the homeless...

...and we have a children's hospital.

Lots of ways
you'll be able to keep yourself busy.

Miss Ellie, I can't join the DO A.

Oh, yes, of course you can.
You're a very capable young woman.

Ellie.

Ellie Ewing. Ha, ha.

It's a good thing
we had this meeting at Southfork.

- We haven't seen you for a while.
- It's not like you to stay away so long.

Well, we had some very pressing problems
at the ranch.

Oh, we read about that.
It must have been dreadful.

Cally, these are the Wilter sisters.
Brenda and Cobina.

- And this is Cally...
- Harper.

I'm right pleased to meet you.

I'm certainly glad to see
some young recruits...

...coming into our organization.
- Mm-hm.

Ladies, would you take your seats?
I have some announcements to make.

- Excuse me.
- Bye.

Cally?

Why did you introduce yourself as Harper?
You're a Ewing now.

Miss Ellie, until J.R. Remarries me
in front of his family and friends...

...as far as I'm concerned,
I'm still Cally Harper.

And I'm not sure how much longer
I can stay on at Southfork...

...like one of them homeless people.

[BAND PLAYING TANGO MUSIC]

[INAUDIBLE DIALOGUE]

[ALL CHEERING AND APPLAUDING]

[INAUDIBLE DIALOGUE]

Sensational. Marvelous.
Aren't they the greatest, huh?

Let's hear it for them.

Hi, I'm Billy. And I own this joint.

I think I know most of you.
And you still came.

[ALL LAUGH]

BILLY:
Isn't that terrific? That's terrific.

We're gonna have a lot of fun tonight
at Club Metroplex.

Now, you all stop listening to me,
and everyone get up and dance, huh.

[BAND PLAYING JAZZY MUSIC]

[INAUDIBLE DIALOGUE]

Do you wanna dance?

Dance with the man, Tracey.
I'm doing fine.

- In that case, I'd be delighted.
- Come on.

[APRIL SIGHS]

- Cliff, I think Dallas is too small.
- What do you mean?

- Everywhere we go, Bobby Ewing.
- Oh.

There's a phone call for you.

- What? How do you know it's for me?
- The waiter told me to tell you.

Oh, well, okay. Excuse me. Excuse me.

- Why don't I finish this dance?
- Okay.

- I'm Tommy.
- I'm April.

I have a feeling
one of these is the key to my heart.

- Oh, is that a fact?
- Mm-hm.

BOBBY:
So don't worry, he's gonna be all right.

Yeah, but he's new in town.
He doesn't know anyone.

- Huh, oh, yeah?
- Hi.

I got lucky.

- Uh, how do you two know each other?
- We just met. I'm here with Cliff.

- With Cliff?
- He found out he couldn't live without me.

You do you get around.

TOMMY:
Hmm...

- Here you are.
- Hey. Thank you.

You're welcome.

Uh, hey.

- You wanna dance?
- Oh, maybe later.

BOBBY:
Hey.

Hey, Cliff.

- Why don't you come and sit with us?
- No, I'm waiting on April.

Uh, she'll find us, trust me. Come on.

Here, come on.

We're right over here.

So does, uh,
everybody know everybody?

Uh, not by name, no.
Hey, there was no phone call.

I'm sorry. I guess I got the wrong guy.

- I'm Tommy.
- I'm Cliff.

He's my brother.

Ah.

Is he a pool hustler too?

I think I've been waiting for you
my whole life.

When I was in a South American prison,
I kept myself alive by thinking about you.

Well, actually, Cliff, he is a hustler.
He just has a different specialty.

Look who's here.

Either my eyes are playing tricks on me,
or that's J.R.'s ex-wife with my daddy.

No, your eyes are just fine.

[CAR APPRO ACHING]

J. R?

Hi, Mama.

It would have been nice to have had
your company at dinner tonight, J.R.

Or have you forgotten
that this family still eats dinner together?

Oh, I had a meeting in town.

I hear you had a meeting
practically every night I was in Europe.

And that you no longer
take time for breakfast.

Oh, I don't think I have to account
for my time, do I?

That's not the point, J.R., and you know it.
You don't want to sit down with Cally.

Well, that's my business.

No, damn it, it's not.
It's mine as long as you live here.

And I'm not gonna have you abuse Cally.
I saw enough of that with Sue Ellen.

That hillbilly been complaining to you?

[SIGHS]

That's nasty, J.R.

No, Cally has not
been complaining to me.

I also don't like
John Ross following your example with her.

You know, I swear, I honestly don't know
what's going on in your head.

Well, ha, ha, I have my reasons.

Well, I don't care what your reasons are.

I want you to go upstairs and tell Cally
that you accept her as your wife.

Or divorce her.

It's gone on long enough.

[BAND PLAYING JAZZY MUSIC]

Well, this is quite a night.
I haven't been dancing in years.

Ha, ha.
Well, you haven't forgotten.

It's like riding a bicycle.
Except with dancing...

...they change the music
every once in a while.

[CHUCKLES]

Your, uh... Your son.
He's a very handsome man.

With a roving eye.

Like his father?

No, I was never like that.

I was too much in love with one woman.

I see my old man still likes the ladies.

I'm sure they're just good friends.

I don't think a man and a woman
can be just friends.

- Isn't that what we're becoming?
- No.

I'm courting you.

[APRIL LAUGHS]

"Courting"?

What an old-fashioned thing
for a young man to say.

How about "seducing"?

I'm going home
with the man who brought me.

- That's a lot of loyalty.
- It's called friendship.

- Mm-hm? Yeah.
- Mm-hm.

[LAUGHS]

[BAND PLAYING SOFT MUSIC]

Tracey, what's the matter?

It was only a few weeks ago
that I saw April with J.R.

And she used to date you.

Now she has Cliff as her date
and she's making a move on my brother.

I think it's the other way around.

Bobby, I'm serious.
I don't think Tommy's ready for April.

And I'm worried about Sue Ellen
and my father.

- Ha, ha. That too?
- You think it's a joke?

Didn't she try to kill J. R?

Yes. Yes, she did.

[TRACEY SIGHS]

I don't know if I'm ready
for a life as complicated as this.

- What's going on?
- I'm leaving.

I'm going home.

J. R:
Oh.

Is that a fact?

I'm gonna beg Japhet and Boaz
to take me in.

And I'm ready to work my fingers
to the bone for them.

What made you change your mind?

A body can only take so much.

You've made me feel cheap and trashy.
No matter how hard it was...

...to make ends meet in Haleyville,
I've never felt like that before.

Well, I'll get Teresa up here
and help you pack your bag.

Bring up a couple of more suitcases.

I ain't taking anything else.
Only what I brought with me.

I wanna forget I ever came here.

And I sure don't want that baby
to be rejected the way I was.

- What?
- Nothing.

- You said something about a baby?
- Yeah, so?

- What baby is that?
- Our baby.

I'm pregnant.

So you can just get out of here
because I wanna finish packing.

How do you know you're pregnant?

Because I'm a woman. I can tell.

- Oh, Cally.
- And I saw a doctor.

He gave me a test.

Well, what... What kind of doctor?
What was the name?

J.R., you're going on like it's important.

I'll take care of the baby.
There's nothing for you to do.

And I'm sure Japhet and Boaz
will make loving uncles.

- Oh, God forbid.
- J.R., I'd like to finish now.

Well, I don't think it's good for you
to leave like this, uh...

We've gotta think of your health.
And the health of the child.

I can take care of him.

Well, I think I ought to talk to your doctor.
What did you say his name was?

I didn't.

What's the doctor's name, Cally?

Doctor Feffer.
You're gonna see if I'm lying, ain't you?

Of course not.

Having a baby's much too important
for me not to get involved.

You're not getting involved.
I'm having this baby in Haleyville.

And old Mrs. Wicket is a good midwife,
and she'll deliver him.

That child is not gonna be delivered
by old Mrs. Wicket.

You're gonna have the baby
here in Dallas in a hospital.

I'm not staying unless we get married,
and I'm not just because I'm pregnant.

- I got too much pride for that.
- You sit down. We gotta talk about this.

What is going on?
I swear I don't understand you.

Well, things have changed.

John Ross tells me that you saved his life.
Is that right?

I did what anybody would do.

Well, he's starting to like you...

...and Mama cares for you a lot too.

How about you, J. R?

Well, I think we could
make a life together.

If it's not just because of the baby.

Have you told anybody else
about the baby?

No one.

While you and me been getting on,
I was too embarrassed to tell anyone else.

And I think you shouldn't.

I'd like you to stay with me.

Let's try for a while.

Okay.

For a little while.

[J.R. SIGHS]

[BOBBY SIGHS]

Bobby, is something troubling you?
You've been awfully quiet.

Oh, sorry. I didn't realize.

Something you care to talk about?

[SIGHS]

Actually, Clayton,
I think there's a little trouble in paradise.

Tracey?

Well, not so much Tracey.
It's... It's Tommy.

There's something about that guy.
I don't know what it is, but it worries me.

Like what?

I don't know,
he's trying too hard to be charming.

He's all flash.

Her complete focus is on him right now.

Think she's pulling away
from your relationship because of him?

I don't know. I know things
are not too solid between us right now...

...and she was troubled by my family.

Well, nothing wrong with your family.
Except for J.R., maybe.

- Heh.
- But that has nothing to do with you.

I don't know.

I think maybe
we just came too far too fast.

Bobby, don't be too quick to end it.

It may be that you're just not ready
to commit to any one woman.

But I thought I was.

Now I don't know.

Damn.

[KNOCKING ON DOOR]

- Who is it?
TOMMY: The Reverend McKay.

[SIGHS]

- What are you doing?
- I'm taking you to a wedding.

- What wedding?
- Ours.

I can't go. I have a meeting.

TOMMY: Uh, I'd appreciate
if you'd cancel that meeting.

I'd hate for those to go to waste.

They won't.

They help me get from one place
to another.

- What are you doing?
- Fixing a snag.

You don't have to do that.
I heard that you're very rich.

I'm also very thrifty.

Okay, how about after the meeting?

- Are we back to marriage?
- Yes.

When I got up this morning, I told myself,
"I don't wanna get married today."

- Tomorrow?
- I have a full calendar.

- Oh, you're involved, right?
- Wrong.

How about that oilman
you were with at the club?

Cliff is just a friend.

A friend that you sleep with?

No.

- And I really have to be going.
- Ha, ha. I'll walk you out.

- Uh, dinner tonight?
- What?

Dinner. If you won't get married,
then dinner's the next best thing.

All right, dinner it is.

Oh, I hope your a good cook,
I have a sensitive stomach.

Oh, don't you just take the cake.

Well, I'm aware that, uh,
my wife was here to see you.

Uh, is there anything I should know about?

Uh, Mr. Ewing,
I don't know what you mean.

Well, is there any special thing
I should do for her...

...now that she's, uh, pregnant?

Oh, no.
Just see that she has regular checkups.

Your wife's a very healthy young woman.

Congratulations. You're a very lucky man.

Well, thank you.

The point is...

...I don't know
if I can write your damn movie.

SUE ELLEN: Why?
- I know too much about you.

I know your frustrations,
I know your dreams.

I know how you felt as a bride.
I know your anger.

Hell, I even know
what turns you on in bed.

I feel like I'm living inside your skin.

[CHUCKLES]

I never should have shown you
my diaries.

I usually make up all my own characters,
Sue Ellen.

All, in one way or another,
are an extension of me.

I've never known this much
about another human being.

Well, am I so bad
that you can't accept me or work with me?

No, you're not bad.
You're a loving, giving person.

Totally frustrated
by that deadly marriage to J.R.

So much to give, not allowed to give it.

- Are you going to give up on me too?
- I'm bewildered.

How did you get away from him?
How did you get out on your own?

So you didn't find my strength
in the diaries?

All I saw was the pain.

So there's something left
for you to discover.

Yeah, I suppose there is.

Will you reconsider?

Yes.

Yeah, I'll reconsider.

But I know so much about you.

Like, right now, you wanna be kissed.

- Do I?
- Of course you do.

Then why don't you?

Gotta stay objective.

- But you were right.
- Of course I am. Come on.

You need a walk.

Well, hi.

I haven't seen you all day.

I thought things were gonna be different.

I'm sorry. I had to go into town
early this morning.

You having supper with the family?

Wouldn't miss it.

Well, that's a change.

Look at this place, Cally.

Great place for children.

I can see the future, honey.

Generations of Ewings.

And all raised right here on Southfork.

My little baby's
gonna be raised in Haleyville.

[LAUGHS]

Our little boy's
gonna be raised right here on Southfork.

It might be a girl.

Whatever.

I got something for you.

Now, tell Mama
to call the caterers and all our friends.

We're gonna have the biggest wedding
you have ever seen.

[BOTH LAUGH]
