Dallas (1978–1991): Season 12, Episode 21 - And Away We Go! - full transcript

NARRATOR:
Last on Dallas:

Hey, Bobby.
You'll never regret taking me back.

- What do you want from me?
- Sixty-five grand.

- She's jerking my brother around.
- Your brother's not exactly a saint.

[SCREAMING]

Bobby.

Tommy McKay. He did this to you.

You nearly killed my boy.

All right, McKay, I'll give you that one.

But I'm not giving you another one.

He will be in pain for a couple of days,
maybe longer.



And he probably will sleep
most of the day.

Now, I'd like you to have this filled
before he wakes up.

Don't give him any more than it calls for,
and don't give him the bottle.

- Why?
- He's an addict, isn't he?

- He was.
- Then he still is.

Call me if you need me, Miss Lawton.

Thank you.

I expect we'll have to
increase production.

Well, that is something
we've gotta look into...

...just as soon as I get back from Vienna.

[INTERCOM BUZZES]

Yeah?

WOMAN [O VER INTERCOM]:
Your daughter's on line two.

Uh, excuse me, Gustav. Tracey?



McKAY [O VER PHONE]:
How is he?

The doctor just left, Daddy.
He's gonna be okay.

No thanks to Bobby Ewing.

Um...

- Can I talk to him?
- He's asleep.

Okay, well, you tell him to stay in bed...

...and I'll be home just as soon as I can.

Okay.

- Daddy?
- Yeah?

Lt'll wait till you get home.

Okay, honey. Bye-bye.

Jordan's here.

- Hey, Jordan, like some coffee?
- No, thanks.

Well...

...it's still a shock to see you two together.
- Ha.

Uh, let's get down to business.
How much do you want for that company?

- Well, I'm afraid I can't sell it to you.
- What are you talking about, Jordan?

Well. Carter McKay made me an offer
I couldn't turn down.

Sold out to Westar.

And I told Bobby
we should jump on this thing right away.

Sorry, boys.

I would have preferred to deal
with Ewing Oil for old time's sake, but...

J. R:
Thanks for coming.

You know... You know,
I don't know about this almighty Ewing Oil.

I was doing better at Barnes-Wentworth.
Huh.

Nobody is holding you against your will.
You could always resign.

I wouldn't give you that satisfaction.

DON: Today we're gonna look at actors
to play J.R.

How do you feel
about your first casting session?

All right, I guess. It's exciting.

- Uh-oh.
- Oh, my.

[MEN SPEAKING INDISTINCTLY]

Brace yourself.

Good morning.
How's Hollywood's new super twosome?

We were wondering
if you were gonna leave the beach.

I'm sorry we're late.

Listen, any time,
we can do casting at the house.

- Whatever's convenient.
- No, this is fine, thank you.

- We're ready to get started.
BRUCE: Whatever you say, Mrs. E.

- They all here now, Alison?
- Yes.

You all right?

Well, I must admit, seeing all those
actors out there was a bit unnerving.

Yeah, a couple of them did look like J.R.

Huh. I wasn't prepared for that.

DON: Listen, do you want us
to wait a bit before they bring them in?

No.

- Alison, we're ready.
- Okay.

Come on in, please.

[SUE ELLEN SIGHS]

Tracey, it's me, Bobby.

TRACEY [O VER PHONE]:
I really don't wanna talk to you now.

- How's your brother?
- Alive.

- Tracey...
- Bobby, not now.

You're not supposed to be up.

That quack give me anything for the pain?

Yeah,
I just came back from the drugstore.

Tommy, go back to bed.
I'll bring it up to you.

Let me have the pills.

- I'll get some water.
- I don't need any water.

Tommy, give me the pills.

Give me the pills, Tommy.

What are you, my keeper?

- I gotta get out of here.
- You're in no condition to go anywhere.

You want me to hang around
waiting for April to send the police?

If they haven't come by now,
they're not coming.

What about your musclebound boyfriend?

Maybe he wants to play
punching bag again.

He won't be back, Tommy.

- Give yourself a few days.
- I don't have a few days.

There are some things
you don't know.

I do know that I care about you,
and I don't wanna see you hurt anymore.

I can take care of myself.

Tommy, you need the right kind of help.
You need a hospital.

Hey, you're talking
like I'm some kind of a junkie.

The doctor said...

I am not going back in any rehab center.
I already did my time in jail.

You have a future here.
A family that loves you.

[CHUCKLES]

A future?

That's some joke.

It's a dead life
with holier-than-thou McKay.

And if you want some advice...

...you'll get out too before he turns you
into a money-making robot.

You know, somebody once told me
that you can't keep running.

You have to finally make a stand
someplace.

That's a lot of do-gooder bull.

I gotta get my things.

[TOMMY GRO ANS]

[GASPING]

- I told you.
- Just...

Just give me a minute.
Let me catch my breath.

WOMAN [ON INTERCOM]:
Dr. Graham, admitting desk, please.

- Hi.
- Hi yourself.

Am I dreaming,
or are you visiting me twice in one day?

- You're dreaming.
- Great dream.

Lower.

That's all.
I don't wanna over-stimulate you.

You're a refreshing change.

You're making me an honorary oil baron?

Yeah, yeah, I am. But, uh, first...

[APRIL CHUCKLES]

[APRIL LAUGHS]

Oh, it hurts to laugh, Bobby.

I can't think of a better time
to give you this.

I want you to have
all the background information...

...now that you're in the oil business.

I'm gonna have to become a serious person
if you keep pampering me like this.

Don't you dare.

I like you outrageous.
It's part of your charm.

I may owe Tommy McKay something
after all.

[INTERCOM BUZZES]

J. R:
Yeah?

SLY [O VER INTERCOM]:
J. R? Mr. Helstrom is here.

All right. Send him in and ask
Bobby and Cliff to come in, would you?

- Bobby's here, but Cliff left.
- Oh, that's even better.

Hey, Mr. Helstrom.
How nice you could make it.

- Mr. Ewing, I'm delighted to see you again.
- Ha, ha.

Oh, call me J.R. This is Texas.

- We're pretty informal here.
- Oh, thank you, call me Gustav.

- No, no, Gus in America.
- Ha-ha-ha. Okay.

Oh, I asked my brother Bobby
to come in and join us.

Bobby Ewing, Gustav Helstrom.

- Nice to meet you.
- Pleasure.

- Please sit down.
- Thank you.

J.R. Tells me that you're interested
in joining Ewing Oil, huh?

I understand you're planning
to expand to Europe.

Yeah, we are, as a matter of fact,
in a big way.

I'm certain I could be helpful to you.
I know the market very well.

Well, there's one deal specifically
we need your help with first.

Ah, why don't I give you
some information about myself...

...then, uh, my lawyers can speak to yours
and, uh, we can draw up a contract?

We were thinking of something
a little less formal.

But your fee would be better
than anything a lawyer could get you.

What, um, deal were you
specifically referring to?

The one you're negotiating
with Carter McKay.

We want in on the deal.

We wanna know the prices, um...

...the names of the company involved,
who's in charge, that kind of stuff.

If that is your condition,
I can't accept your offer.

Why not?

I would be betraying my employer.
I won't do that.

- You haven't heard the offer.
- It doesn't matter, sorry.

Who's your employer?

I'm afraid that's confidential.
Excuse me, I must go.

J. R:
Hold on, now, hold on. I respect that.

There's nothing more important to me
than loyalty.

And I admire your feelings. I really do.

And I understand we're not gonna be able
to do business together...

...but I would be honored
if you'd allow my wife and I...

...to show you an old fashioned evening
of Dallas nightlife.

- What do you say?
- Well, that would be nice.

So I'll pick you up 8:00 tomorrow night?

- I'll be there. Thank you very much.
- Ha-ha-ha. Good, good.

- Goodbye.
- Nice to see you.

Oh, say, Gus.

Dress Western.

I will. Goodbye.

So do you want any company tomorrow?

No, I think it'd be best
if Cally and I handle this.

Hmm.

Have a real interesting evening.

[CAR DOOR OPENS]

Oh, hi, honey.

- Hi, Daddy.
- Hey, Tracey.

Hey, honey, it's gonna be all right.
It's gonna be all right.

I gotta talk to Tommy.
I've stalled the cops, at least for a while.

I'll dig him out of that hole
he's dug for himself.

- This family's gonna get a new start.
- Tommy's gone.

What are you talking about?

He left a couple of hours ago.
He said he was going back East.

But he's sick, and that beating
that Bobby gave him didn't help.

Daddy, he's afraid of the police and Bobby.
He's afraid of you.

But he needs help.
He needs a good hospital.

He needs a family to take care of him.

That's what I told him.

I tried to talk him into getting treatment.
Daddy, he has a bad drug habit.

And he's gonna die without help.

Damn that Bobby Ewing.

Tommy would still be here
if it weren't for him.

L... I...

I could have made it right.

[PHONE RINGING]

Southfork.

Hello, Lucy?

- This is Sue Ellen.
- Hi.

- How's the casting going?
- Slowly, but I understand that's usual.

I sure wish I was out there with you.
I'd find you a really great J.R.

Like John Candy.

[LAUGHS]

Now, that's a thought.

Um, Lucy, I need your help.

Um, we're going to be casting
Mitch Cooper in a few days.

Terrific, I'm on my way.

All right.

Morning, sleepyhead.

Morning, J.R.

You leaving already?

- You haven't had hardly any sleep at all.
- I'm fine.

What's this for?

That's an apology for my not coming home
for dinner last night.

Oh, J.R., you are the sweetest man.

Oh, I love them.

But you didn't have to do this.
I understand about your work.

- You do, don't you?
- Course I do.

Sometimes it's just gonna keep you late,
that's all. That's the way it has to be.

Oh, boy,
are you a refreshing change in my life.

Thank you.

And tonight,
you and I are gonna go out on the town.

Mix a little business
with a lot of pleasure.

You want me to help you
with your work again?

Yeah. We're gonna meet Mr. Helstrom.

- I just love sharing your life. It's so exciting.
- Ha, ha.

Come on.

You must have some time
before you have to go to work.

- Well, I don't know, honey.
- It'd clear your head for the day.

DON: What do you think you're doing?
WOMAN: What's the matter?

Afraid I'll find out your secrets?

DON: I'm telling you, you're making
a mountain out of a mole hill.

- There's nothing going on.
WOMAN: Nothing, nothing.

Is that what you do at your hideaway?

DON:
It's business.

- You're sleeping with her.
DON: You're paranoid, or drunk.

I don't give a damn about her.

- Oh, you expect me to believe that?
DON: I don't care what you believe.

[GRUNTS]

I am tired of playing
your little mind games.

- I want out.
DON: No, you don't. No, no, you don't.

You got used to your silk sheets,
your fancy clothes...

...jewels and all that lovely cash.

WOMAN:
Look, you get rid of her. I am warning you.

- Get rid of her!
DON: Ooh.

WOMAN:
Thank you.

[SIGHS]

- Hey, you're earlier than I expected.
- Obviously.

What do you mean by that?

Listen, Don, you're not tied to me.

Your job is secure and your responsibilities
don't include sleeping with me.

Hold on, hold on. What's all this about?

Oh, you, um...

You mean the young lady that just left.

You heard.

- Damn right I heard.
- And you don't know.

Don't know what?

[LAUGHS]

- Damn you, it's not funny.
- It is.

Of course it's funny.

Didn't it sound all familiar to you?
It should, it's from the script.

She's an actress, damn good one.
I wish you'd met her.

Sue Ellen.

[CHUCKLES]

Sue Ellen, you got a lifetime of insecurities
to recover from.

I hope this film will help you.

[BOTH CHUCKLE]

Bobby.

I cannot tell a lie.

I did it with my little mop
and my little pail.

- You are something else.
- Why don't you get off your feet?

No, I'm fine, really.
Um, how about some lunch?

- See what I mean?
- See how clever I am?

- Look where I wound up.
- Yeah.

Come on over on the couch.

Oh, thought you'd never ask.

Sit down. I'm going to get lunch.

You cook too?

Oh, yeah.

But I don't do windows.

And I get every other Thursday off.

Actually, I'm every woman's dream.

Speaking of every woman's dream...

...what happened to Tommy McKay?

He, uh, won't be bothering you anymore.

- Why?
- I'm sure he's left town.

You talked to him?

Yeah. Yeah, I talked to him.

You beat the crap out of him?

April, he almost killed you.

Oh, where did all of this take place?

At the McKay ranch.

- Did his father see it?
- No, he wasn't there.

Tracey?

She was there.

What's gonna happen with you two now?

I don't know.

It, uh, doesn't matter.

[COUNTRY MUSIC PLAYING]

ALL:
Yeah!

[ALL CHEERING]

That was wonderful.

Isn't my husband a terrific dancer?

You're both excellent.

Hey, Gus, why don't you grab a gal
and get out there and do a little dancing?

I don't see anyone unattached.

Well, boy, I sure do.

[LAUGHING]

- Hi there.
- Well, hi there, yourself, cowboy.

My friend's shy,
but he'd like to do some dancing.

- What do you say?
- Well, he's kind of cute.

- Would you like to dance?
- With you? Any time.

[J.R. CHUCKLES]

Y'all have a good time, you hear?

Don't you find
she's a little hard-looking, J. R?

Oh, I think Gus is gonna have
a real good time tonight.

Maybe so.

She kind of reminds me of Lila May
back in Haleyville.

- Who?
- Lila May.

Most of the men in Haleyville used
to visit with her once or twice a month.

Yeah? And that uptight sheriff
didn't run her off?

Oh, no.
He was there every Wednesday at 3.

[LAUGHS]

You just made my day, honey.
You wanna dance?

- Sure.
- All right.

Hey. What the hell
are you doing with my wife?

Your wife? We were just dancing.

Don't pay no attention to him, Gus.
We're divorced.

- Oh, well, in that case.
- Get your hands off her.

Forget about him, Gus.
He just don't want me to have no fun.

Just butt out of my business, foreigner.

- Stop bothering us, Ben.
- I'll bother you all I want.

Get your hands off this lady.

[BEN GRUNTING]

[MUSIC STOPS]

Oh, you are wonderful, Gus.
I mean, you knocked him out.

Well, Gus, you're a hell of a fighter.

I think he's dead.

There's no pulse.

She's right. This dude is dead.

Gus, let's get the hell out of here.

Hold it. I'm a police officer.

I'm gonna have to place you under arrest.

You have a right to remain silent.

Anything you say can and will
be held against you in a court of law.

You have the right to speak to an attorney
and to have one present during questioning.

If you cannot afford an attorney...

...one would be provided by the courts
free of charge.

Oh, J.R., what are we gonna do?

I'm gonna try to help him
as best I can.

- Just stay here.
- No, I can't stay here.

You just stay right here and sit down.

Be back soon as I can.

[COUNTRY MUSIC PLAYING]

Say, officer, uh,
I'd like to help this situation.

- Talk to my partner.
- Oh, all right, fine.

Officer? Uh, pardon me, officer.

- Yeah, what do you want?
- Uh, my name is J.R. Ewing.

Mr. Helstrom here
is a good friend of mine.

- Ewing.
- Yeah, you've probably heard the name.

Yes, I have.
And I'm real sorry about your friend.

But, Mr. Ewing,
homicide is a very serious offense.

J.R., do something or I'm ruined.

All right. Uh, can we talk privately.
Could we?

Sure.

[SINGING "IT TAKES TWO TO FLY"]

[APPLAUSE]

Hi, Afton.

Hi, Cliff.

You were sensational.

Thank you.

[CHUCKLES]

I wouldn't have known you were in town
if I hadn't seen the ad in the newspaper.

Why didn't you call?

Because the way we broke up...

...I wasn't sure
that you'd wanna see me again.

Same here.

Buy you a drink.

No, thank you.

Um, I have to get changed for my next set.

Okay, I'll wait.

Till the end of the show?

Yeah.

You can come by tomorrow,
we'll settle up, all right?

[SIGHS]

Well, I think we got him right enough.

- You want me to start?
- Yeah, go ahead.

You're asking an awful lot of me,
Mr. Ewing.

How am I gonna explain letting him go?

Well, you'll come up with a way.
I know you will.

Fat chance.

- Come on.
- Oh, go ahead.

Rigg, go ahead and un-cuff him.

Um, he says I can talk to him in private.
It's all right, the officer said so.

What did he say? What happened?

You want me to call your family?

Lt'd be a shame for this
to show up on the news.

- I wanted to keep my family out of this.
- I can understand that.

J.R., do you know these men?

Fix it.

- You mean bribery?
- Of course, anything.

Do you have any idea how big a bribe those
two would take to cover up a homicide?

- I'll pay them anything they want.
- They're not gonna take money from you.

- They don't know who you are.
- Can't you help me?

Look, we're just acquaintances, right?

If you were working for me,
it'd be different.

- But you turned me down.
- I accept your offer.

Well, how about your employer?

No, I trust you will say nothing
to my employer.

Well...

All right, here.

I want you to write down
the name of the man...

...behind the European consortium.

And, um, when and where
the meeting is gonna be held.

And write it legibly, would you?

Because sometimes,
you Europeans write funny.

I'm doing the best I can.

And I wanna know the top dollar
you're willing to pay for the oil.

Very nice. Officer.

Would you, just a minute?

Listen, this is a case of self-defense,
pure and simple, I guarantee you.

Mr. Ewing,
I'm gonna take your word for it.

Rigg, take him out this door...

...drive him to his hotel, get him packed.

Take him to the airport
and put him on the first plane to Europe.

Anyplace in Europe.

You got it.

- Thanks. Thanks, Ratagan.
- Anytime.

[CHUCKLES]

How are you holding up?

I'm fine, but, J.R., that man Helstrom
thought was killed wasn't dead at all.

He left with his wife.

Is that a fact? Well,
maybe that's why the police let him go.

Oh, they did? Well, where is he?

He remembered a very important
business appointment back in Europe...

...and he had to take first plane out.

Oh, I'm sorry I didn't get to say goodbye.

He had a terrible time.

Oh, I know, it was a damn shame.

- Well, you wanna dance, darling?
- Sure.

Pretty encore.

[CHUCKLES]

I loved it.

I thought they were gonna keep you
up there singing all night long.

- Here you are, Afton.
- Thanks, Joseph.

You're the best act we've had here
in years.

- The best.
- Thank you.

- I'll see you tomorrow.
- Good night.

[AFTON CLEARS THRO AT]

You are sensational.
You're better than I remember.

Well, I've grown up a little since then.

I like the color of your hair.

Wow!

You're beautiful.

You'll always be beautiful.
Always will be beautiful.

I'm more than that.
I'm more than just good looks, Cliff.

I know.

Maybe you know now,
but you sure didn't know it then.

I should still be mad at you
for the way we broke up.

You walked out on me.

There was never another woman,
anything like that.

I left because you were obsessed
with beating J.R.

There was no room in your life
for anyone else, including me.

I know, I know.

That's over.

And believe it or not,
I am now a partner in Ewing Oil...

...with Bobby and J.R.

[CHUCKLES]

- I don't believe it.
- It's the truth.

Well, that's a shock. What happened?

Pam.

With her gone, my whole life changed.

I read about her.

I almost came back.

You know how much I cared for Pam.

But I didn't know
if I wanted to see you again.

I...

I can't believe how much I hurt you. I...

You have no idea how many club dates
I turned down here...

...just so I wouldn't run into you.

But you're here.

I guess time finally worked its magic.

I don't hurt anymore.

And the offer was too good to turn down
because of you or anyone else.

Okay. Well, I'm glad.

[CLIFF LAUGHS]

So, what else have you been doing
with your life besides singing?

Been traveling a lot all over the world.

And I got married.

[SIGHS]

You still married?

No, it only lasted a couple of months.

Yeah, me too.

- Married?
- Yeah.

Yeah.

I married a Ewing cousin...

...for business reasons.

But that was the old Cliff.

And she died.

- I'm sorry.
- Thanks.

- I'd better go.
- Oh, I'll drive you home.

I got my own car, thanks.

I wanna see you again.

I'd like that.

Why here?

We need to talk.

I wanted neutral grounds.

A place that holds no memories
for either of us.

Okay.

- It's over, Bobby.
- Oh.

Tracey, after what I did to Tommy,
I can't blame you.

- But you have to understand...
- I do.

It's not just you. I'm leaving Dallas.

But you've reconciled with your father.

- You got a home here. Why go?
- Tommy's gone.

I have to find him, Bobby. He's an addict.

I figured as much.

Well, why not just put him
in a rehab hospital?

I tried.

So you're still going after him?

I have to.

You know, sometimes the best thing
is to just let them go.

Let them work it out themselves.

You know you're condemning yourself
to a terrible life.

I also know how weak he is.
I believe I can make a difference.

Tracey, giving up your life
is not gonna help him.

He's my brother.

And I believe that he will die without me.

We started out with a lot of promise,
didn't we?

Yes, we did.

My family comes first.

Your father's family. What about him?

- He's losing both of you.
- He'll manage.

And I'll be back for him, but right now,
I have to see Tommy through this.

For as long as it takes.

- I think he's cute.
- Is that what Mitch looks like?

- No, not really.
BRUCE: Ha, ha.

There is something interesting about him.

How about Graham Kennison here?

Oh, my, he's a knockout.

Yeah. How would you feel
about him playing Mitch?

I don't know.

Why don't I meet him and find out?

[DOOR OPENS]

DON:
Hello, hello.

How goes the great talent hunt?

ALISON:
Great. We've got quite a few prospects.

Yeah, we'll start bringing them in
in a few days.

LUC Y:
Oh, I can't wait.

- I didn't see any actors in the hallway.
- We've got them in another suite.

Shall we begin?

- We still looking at J.R. S?
- No. Sue Ellens.

I may not be able to be objective.

Well, we'll help you out.

Hi.

SUE ELLEN: The actress that you read
in the office yesterday.

This is Elaine Eddy.

And this is our executive producer,
Sue Ellen Ewing...

...and our producer, Bruce Harvey.

Our director, Don Lockwood,
and their associate, Lucy Cooper.

Hi, Elaine.

[DON CHUCKLES]

- Is there a problem?
- No, just, uh...

Just give us a minute, will you?

[GIGGLES]

I can't.

[KNOCKING ON DOOR]

- Bobby?
BOBBY: Yeah.

- Hi.
- Hi.

Come on in.

What are you doing?

I'm just finishing hanging this picture.

Why?

Now I'm not sure.

I couldn't get out
and that wall looked so bare...

...so the gallery sent it over for approval.

What is it?

Well, I think they said...

...it's an imitation neoclassical
interpretation of 1920s Dadaism.

- Imitation?
- He didn't say that. I did.

- It's pretty awful.
- Huh.

It's nice to see you.
Can I get you something to drink?

Yeah, I'm dying of thirst.
Water would be great.

Actually, I stopped over to say goodbye.

Goodbye?
I don't have any luck with men.

- What do you mean, goodbye?
- J.R. Stumbled on a business deal...

...and Cliff and I are gonna go over
to Europe with him and check it out.

The whole time you're there,
you're gonna be waiting.

Waiting? For what?

The other shoe to drop.

Ah, you mean it could be
one of J.R.'s schemes.

- Mm-hm.
- No, I don't think so.

Besides, the trip couldn't come
at a better time, I...

- I need some distance.
- From me?

Mm-mm.

No, from everything.

Tracey left Dallas.

And she's out of my life.
She wants to take care of Tommy.

Well, I can't pretend to be unhappy
about her going.

You are so honest.

- You put a lot of stock in honesty.
- Mm-hm.

I remember the last time
I was honest with you...

...about something important, I lost you.

You're referring to your relationship
with J.R., aren't you?

Mm-hm.

April, you didn't lose me.

I wasn't ready to make
an emotional commitment to anyone.

Until Tracey?

Not even her.

I'm not sure...

...l'm gonna be able to be as honest
as you need me to be.

Look, I'm gonna be gone for a while.
Why don't we just give it some time?

- I'm gonna miss you.
- Well, I'm gonna miss you too.

I waited a long time.

I don't want you wandering off
with some sexy German fräulein...

...or a French mademoiselle.

They would have to be just as honest.

I hear they're all devious.

Well, there you go.
You have nothing to worry about.

Show me.

I, uh, I really have to go.

- You're kidding.
- Unfortunately, no.

You could be gone for weeks.

- What if I need to reach you?
- Uh, the office will know where I am.

Yeah, you can call them.

[KNOCKING ON DOOR]

Come in.

Cally, what are you doing?

Packing. Only I'm so confused.

I'm finally going on my honeymoon...

...and I don't know if it's gonna be
hot or cold, rain or sunshine.

I don't even know
how long we're gonna be gone.

- Oh, why don't you let me help you?
- Oh, Miss Ellie, I have to learn.

You can learn another time.
You're leaving tomorrow.

I don't think you're gonna make it.
Ask Teresa to come up and help you.

- Oh, but I really feel funny about this.
- No, now scoot. Go on.

- Scoot.
- Ha, ha.

[PLAYING PIANO]

Hi.

Hi. What are you doing here
in the morning?

I would've given you a call,
but I don't have your number.

And I totally forgot something.

I have to go to Europe with Bobby and J.R.,
so I'm sorry about our date tonight.

Ah.

Same old Cliff Barnes.

What's that supposed to mean?

This is gonna be the biggest oil deal
in the history of Texas.

You haven't changed a bit.
Business always did come first.

I'm only gonna be gone
a couple of weeks.

But I won't be here when you get back.
My club date will be over by then.

Look, can't you hang around
until I get back?

Look, what are you trying to tell me?
I should cancel my trip for you?

- No.
- Well, then what?

I don't know. There's nothing I can say.

- Goodbye, Cliff.
- Afton, wait.

Just wait.

CALLY:
I don't believe it. My first plane ride.

BOBBY: I don't understand Cliff canceling
like that at the last minute.

J. R:
Well, you took the call. Did he say why?

BOBBY:
Didn't say a word.

J. R: Well, forget it, Bob.
Just enjoy the trip. I know I am.

[CALLY LAUGHS]

CALLY:
J.R.

NARRATOR:
Next on Dallas:

Hey. You're Americans too, aren't you?

- No, we're Texans.
- Now, that's good.

I gotta remember that. Ha, ha.

I think she'll grow to love us.

- Chick, honey, are you all right?
- Yeah.

You got my purse back.

- What would they put in my purse?
- A bug, for one.

You mean like a cockroach?

He's gone through the purse by now.

And found nothing.

Somebody wants to meet me
at Hohensalzburg Castle at 4.
