Dallas (1978–1991): Season 13, Episode 4 - Ka-Booooom! - full transcript

NARRATOR:
Last on Dallas:

BOBBY:
You left this in my office.

The Bobby I used to know would never be
caught dead touching a woman I slept with.

[APRIL SCOFFS THEN SLAPS]

CLIFF: Thanks, April.
- You're welcome.

So this knock his socks off or what?

Bobby or J. R?

Or. J. R?

I know you slept with him.

What's going on?

I've decided to go home.



Don't give me that crap.

I wasn't the least bit amused
by that game you played with the Ewings.

[GRUNTS]

[TIRES SQUEALING]

Think I'm surprised you went
to Ewing Oil to check out Bobby?

I'm glad I'm so easy to read.

It's turning into a scavenger hunt.

This key opens something
in your daddy's past.

J.R. Said you wanted that crude
to go to Shaughnessy.

Not another drop to Shaughnessy,
you understand?

Pay the penalty. A million dollars
for every day my shipment fails to arrive.

This little tanker
can and will deliver your oil.

Trust me.

BOOMER:
I told you later, kid.



Tommy McKay.

Come on in, man.

- Somebody hassling you?
- Yeah, the kid next door.

He's always bugging me to "fix my bike,
fix my bike."

Is that it?

This is it.

A real day maker, pal.

Take a look.

Play-Doh, all right, instead of the plasty.

Take a doweling, we use that
instead of the detonator, all right?

Like so.

It goes like this on the device.

Whole device...

...goes inside the briefcase.

Set it very simply. You watching? There.

This rod...

...goes over the device.

And there.

Very slowly.

Close the lid.

Pulling this out.

Now you're armed, right?

Okay. Now, watch this.

- Works like a mousetrap.
- Yeah.

Pity the poor mouse
because when this thing goes...

...everything in a 10-foot radius
is minced meat.

By tomorrow night, they'll be scraping
Mr. Bobby Ewing off the ceiling.

J. R:
A little bauble for your new lady love?

In three days, it will be the four month
anniversary of The Great Waltz in Vienna.

And that is a night
worth commemorating.

Now, what is it that you wanted
to tell me that just wouldn't keep?

I just thought you ought to know
that I've got the Shaughnessy deal covered.

Ewing Oil is gonna give Westar
a run for its money.

Covering the Shaughnessy deal
was your problem, not Ewing Oil's.

Oh, come on, Bobby.
Now, trust me on this, will you?

It's good for our reputation...

...for folks to find out that we've taken
one of Westar's major account.

I'm glad you've solved the problem, J.R.

Except I'm not too sure I wanna know
how you pulled it off.

Bobby, why do you consistently
expect the worst in me?

Well, that's real nice.

I know.

It's a polar bear in a snowstorm.

Something like that, I guess.

What's bothering you, Cally?

I don't know.
I just can't seem to concentrate.

Well, maybe it's just not a good day
to paint.

No, that's not it.

I've got a problem and I don't quite know
how to get a handle on it.

Is it J. R?

[ELLIE SIGHS]

- What's he done now?
- Oh, he hasn't done anything. Honest.

It's just...

Well, I was wondering
if J.R. Ever talks to you about me.

You know, how he feels and all.

Oh...

Oh, no, J.R. And I
haven't have a talk like that in years.

But I can tell you that I've seen a difference
in J.R. Since you've been married.

I know he loves you.

Yes, I think he does too.

But I feel...

...like I'm not good enough for him.

Oh, Cally.

Now, you're being foolish.

You're a fine young girl.

Thanks, Miss Ellie.

But that's just it, isn't it?

I'm still a girl.

And J.R.'s used to women. Sophisticated,
powerful, rich women like Sue Ellen.

And April too.

I have a hard time figuring
which piece of flatware to use...

...at those highfalutin restaurants
J.R. Takes me to.

Well, I do too sometimes.

So don't worry about it.

You're just being kind, Miss Ellie.

No, Cally. I'm telling the truth.

J.R.'s attitude has been different
since he's married you.

He's more...
He's more attentive.

More loving.

I appreciate you telling me that...

...but I bet he'd be happier
if I was more like those other women.

So I guess I'll just have to do
a remodeling job on myself.

And I know how to do it too.

How?

With my paintings.

That Alex Barton is such a smart fellow.

He's so well-mannered
and what you might call refined.

And I know he'd just be happy
to help me.

And in no time at all, I'll be successful...

...and, well, sophisticated even.

Someone J.R. Can be proud of.

And someone I can be proud of too.

[KNOCKING ON DOOR]

APRIL: What are you doing back so soon?
- I forgot my key.

And I was afraid you'd leave
and lock me out so I came back for it.

[DOOR CLOSES]

Where did I put it?

APRIL:
Here, I'll help you.

[KNOCKING ON DOOR]

Damn it. He's here.

Oh, that's why you wanted
to get rid of me.

You're expecting somebody.

Yes, but now that you're here,
just keep a low profile.

Hello, April. Here I am.

Well, Michelle.

Ah, nice to see you again.

The more I see you here,
the nicer it gets. Ha, ha.

I didn't ask you here
to make eyes at my sister.

Yeah, then why did you summons me here,
honey?

I wanna put the Ellis County land
up for sale.

When it's sold, our partnership is over.

Well, selling that land is fine with me.

It should make a handsome profit.

Wish I'd thought of it.

I'm gonna offer it to Ewing Oil first.

You can offer as much as you want to,
but you'll be wasting your time.

Even Bobby is smart enough to know
he needs all the working capital he can get.

He can turn me down if he wants.

Since Cliff discovered the land's potential,
I feel honor-bound to give him first refusal.

Honor bound?

Ha, ha, well, seems like hanging around
with Bobby brings out the best in people.

Even you.

Amazing.

What's amazing
is that the two of you are brothers.

Hmm. From time to time,
that occurs to me too.

I'll send you a check for your half
once the land is sold.

But no matter who buys it,
our partnership is over.

We are quits, socially and professionally.

Oh, April. You're not still upset with me
over what I said at Southfork, are you?

You're damn right, I am.

And I wanna put as much distance
between you and me as humanly possible.

Goodbye, J.R.

You know, I think you're forgetting
who your real friends are.

And, Michelle, you are just as pretty
as your sister.

I just hope you have a better disposition.

Maybe someday you'll find out.

Well, you never know, do you?

[KNOCKING ON DOOR]

Who is it?

Just an old friend, come to repay a debt.

Rose.

[CHUCKLES]

You're a sight for sore eye.

[CHUCKLES]

- Oh, it's so good to see you.
- You too.

- How have you been?
- I'm doing just fine.

I hope you don't mind me barging in.
There's no one in the outer office.

Oh, well, at this hour it's break time.
And you'd think that a bomb had gone off.

- Here. Please have a seat.
- Okay.

Wow.

How did you know where to find me?

Well, from the newspapers.

I read all about that European deal
you made.

Honey, you're a real big man
in the oil business these days.

I guess my life has changed a little bit.

But enough about me.

What brings you to Dallas?

First off...

...I wanna give you this.

McKAY: What is it?
- Open it and see.

Hey, I can't take this.

And why not?

You loaned it to me.

Gave me the stake I needed
to start my own business.

I got a little beauty shop in Follett.
It's up in the panhandle.

Now, I ain't giving José Eber any
competition, mind you...

...but, uh, I'm doing okay.

That's terrific, Rose.

But, uh, this wasn't a loan.

This was a gift.

Besides, it's not enough money
to worry over.

It may not seem like a lot to you,
but it is to me.

I have my principles too, you know.

And one of them is to pay back
what I owe.

If you insist.

But you've gotta help me spend it.

And for starters, how about having supper
with me tonight?

There's somebody I want you to meet.

It's not a lady friend?
I wouldn't wanna cause any trouble.

No, no, it's nothing like that.
You'll see.

Well, I've always liked surprises.

- Good.
- Ha, ha.

Come on, I'll show you around Westar.

- Where are you staying?
- I haven't check-in anywhere yet.

You're going to stay at the ranch with me.
What do you say?

To be truthful, I was hoping you'd ask.

[BOTH LAUGHING]

Well, I just asked.
You can even have your old room.

MICHELLE:
You've been holding out on me, sister dear.

APRIL:
About what?

MICHELLE: You've been playing in some real
high-stakes games here in Dallas.

You and J.R. Were talking millions.

In this town, you don't mention a
number unless it's followed by six zeros.

I'm impressed.

Mom told me you were doing real well
in the Lone Star State.

I didn't realize how well.

Hang around the right crowds, some
of their success is bound to rub off on you.

MICHELLE:
I think you're being modest.

I really think you have a head
for business.

APRIL:
Oh, you do?

MICHELLE:
One thing though.

Why are you and J.R. Partners
and not you and Bobby?

There's a time a while back
when Bobby and I were on opposite sides.

J.R. Was the only person who'd give me
the time of day when I first got here.

But that has all changed.

I just wanna be rid of him now.

Dating Bobby might make that
difficult, don't you think?

Maybe.

But I only have to see him socially.

And I hear tell that Hitler
could be charming over cocktails.

[MICHELLE CHUCKLES]

Whoa up, I need to drink.

[BOTH BREATHING HEAVILY]

I can't wait to see the look
on Cliff's face...

...when he learns that Ewing
has another chance at that land.

Why is that so important to you?

Because rightfully, the deal was his.

And J.R. And I managed to get to it first.

Why is it I get the feeling that how you
managed is not exactly on the up and up?

Oh, it was legal, all right.

Just ethical is another matter.

Come on, slowpoke,
I'll race you to the next watering hole.

[CHUCKLES]

Yes, sir. I gave him the message.

I have no way of knowing that, sir,
but I'm sure it will be very soon.

Okay.

Doesn't it make you crazy
when they act...

...like you're keeping messages
from your boss?

I cannot...

[FIRE ALARM WAILING]

SLY:
Oh, no.

It scares me to death
when that fire alarm goes off.

MARIE:
I know what you mean.

Shouldn't we get out?
This could be for real.

BOBBY:
Ladies, come on. Let's go. Let's go.

It's early, but I will buy you all lunch.

SLY & MARIE:
Oh, great.

SLY:
What a way to work up an appetite.

[BOBBY CHUCKLES]

[FIRE ALARM WAILING]

I told you it'd work.

Hurry. It won't be long
before they realize it's a false alarm.

Here. It's over here.

Let's hope it's not locked.

TOMMY:
All right.

Well, hey.

A going-away gift for me.

How nice.

Hurry up. We gotta get out of here.

No, no, no.
This is not the part you hurry.

You don't want me to blow us both up,
do you?

I didn't think so.

That's it.

All right, it's time to rock and roll.

Let's go, Tommy.

Bye-bye, Bobby.

BOBBY: Hey, hey, hey slow down.
You're gonna hurt yourself.

Hi, Uncle Bobby. I just talked to my mom.
She says to tell you hi.

[J.R. SPEAKING INDISTINCTLY]

Hey, Dad, Cally, guess what.

J. R: Ha, ha, I give up, son.
CALLY: Me too.

I just talked to Mom on the phone.
She wants me to come visit her in England.

She's got a tutor and everything.
Can I go?

Oh...

Well...

Dad?

J. R:
I hear you, son. I hear you.

I've been expecting your mama
to ask you to come over.

I really can't think of any reason
for you not to go.

I can? Thanks, Dad.

Ha, ha, well, no reason to thank me.

Your mama misses you.
I know she loves you.

She and I have had our differences
in the past, but that's not one of them.

Yeah, Dad, I know.

Just one thing.

What's that?

Well, don't you get to liking it too much
over there.

Because your daddy
will be waiting here for you.

You bet, Dad.

But you don't have to worry.

You know I don't wanna live anywhere
but here with you.

Mr. McKay. How nice to see you.

Uh, your son is waiting for you
at the table.

If you'll follow me, please.

Thank you, Dora Mae.

Your son?

McKAY:
Yes.

That's the surprise I was saving for you.

We're back together again.

I want you to meet him.

DORA MAE:
Well, here we are.

McKAY: Hey, Tommy.
I hope we haven't kept you waiting.

I want you to meet an old friend of mine.

Mrs. Rose Daniels.

Nice to meet you, Miss Daniels.

[CHUCKLES]

Well, Debbie will be right over
to take your drink orders...

...and you have a nice evening.

Rose is gonna be staying with us
for a while. I want you to get acquainted.

Only if it's okay with you, Tommy.

Uh, I wouldn't wanna intrude.

- Not at all, Miss...
- Oh, I appreciate if you call me Rose.

Mrs. Daniels makes me feel
uncomfortable.

[ROSE AND TOMMY CHUCKLING]

Well, we wouldn't wanna do that now,
would we, Rose?

You all right, son?
You seem a bit, uh, tense.

Just expecting some news.

[TOMMY CHUCKLES]

- Hello, Mr. McKay?
McKAY: Hi, Debbie.

May I take your drink order?

I'll have a Scotch rocks
and for my lady friend?

Make mine, uh...

...a boilermaker.

[McKAY LAUGHS]

[ROSE CHUCKLES]

Oh, ha, ha.
It's gonna be that kind of evening.

All right, just keep the drinks coming,
Debbie.

- I'll let you know when we wanna order.
- Yes, sir, Mr. McKay.

- Aren't you having anything, Tommy?
- Oh, I don't drink anymore.

But don't let me rain on your parade.

Just consider me
tonight's designated driver.

What did I tell you?
He's a great kid, isn't he?

Now...

...tell me all about
this beauty shop of yours.

Oh, well, after I left you, I knew I had
to do something with my life, honey.

So I went up to Follett and I went
into beauty school. I learned how to...

[HORSE NEIGHS]

BOBBY:
Well...

You beat us.

APRIL: Hi, Christopher.
CHRISTOPHER: Hi.

BOBBY: Hi.
APRIL: Hi.

Oh, Christopher, this is Michelle,
April's sister. My son, Christopher.

- Hi, Christopher.
- Hi.

BOBBY: Mike helping with the horses?
- He should be out.

BOBBY: Why meet here
instead of the house?

No reason in particular.

- I just thought it would be easier.
BOBBY: Here he is now.

Hey, Mike.

Oh, Christopher, would you put my
briefcase in the trunk of the car?

- Okay.
BOBBY: Thanks.

- I saw J.R. Yesterday.
BOBBY: Oh.

I told him I wanna sell
the Ellis County land.

Why are you selling?

Always been bothered that we practically
stole it from under you and Cliff.

And I wanna put an end
to my partnership with J.R.

Well, that's between you and him.

But you won't get an argument from me.
Get any takers?

I wanted to offer it to you first.

Well, I appreciate that, but I'm gonna
have to turn you down. Ha, ha.

Why? Cliff wanted the deal very badly.
I'd like for him to have it.

April, it's gonna cost a fortune. I need all
the operating capital I can get my hands on.

It will cost you just what we paid for.

It's too much cash for me
to tie up right now.

There's gotta be investors
happy to give you a good price for it.

I don't care. I want you to have it.

April, I appreciate your
trying to put things right.

But I am gonna have to pass.

Christopher, what is taking you so long?

Coming.

Well, I tried. But Cliff's gonna be
very disappointed when he finds out.

No reason Cliff has to find out
right away.

APRIL:
What do you mean?

There's no sense stirring things up now.
I'll tell him when I think the time is right.

Okay, if you think that's best.

[CAR HORN HONKS]

J. R:
Uh-huh.

Where the hell have you been?
You're late.

AL:
Ah, take it easy, J.R. Take it easy.

I got held up at the attorney's
waiting on these papers.

I got you the title to the tanker,
some insurance forms.

Oh, and I'll need your signature.

There and there.

Hup, hup, hup, hup.

My pleasure.

You did bring the certified check?

You don't think I'd be standing here
if I didn't.

Now when is that tanker
due to leave Lake Maracaibo.

Ha, ha, just as soon as I make the phone
call to tell them it's a done deal.

J. R: Will she be able to leave today?
- Absolutely.

They're already on-loaded and should be
in Texas City in five, maybe six days.

[CHUCKLING]

Now, here's your copies
of the title to the tanker.

And here's your check.

Ooh, J. R...

...a pleasure doing business with you.

Congratulations.

You're now the owner
of a real fine oil tanker.

Well, I'd better be.

I just wanna remind you
that you sold it to me.

And if anything goes wrong...

...you're gonna have to answer to me.

[CAR STARTING]

[TIRES SQUEALING]

Moo goo gai pan, Buddha's feast,
pork fried rice.

No, it's for one.

[DOORBELL RINGS]

And... Oh, what...? Hold on a minute.

- Hi, Cliff.
- Well, golly. Hi, come on in here.

Come on in.
Excuse me, I'm on the phone.

Just give me... Just give me a second.

Uh, yeah. Uh, make that for two,
would you, please?

And don't forget the fortune cookies.
Yeah.

[CLIFF CHUCKLES]

Nice to see. Sit down, please.

- You want a drink?
- No, thank you.

Actually, I'm not sure
I should've come at all.

There's something
I think you ought to know.

Okay. Shoot.

I overheard a conversation
between April and Bobby...

...and it concerns you.

Me? Oh, what about me?

About you and some county land deal.
Does that make any sense?

- Yeah, Ellis County land.
- Yeah, that's it.

April offered to sell it to Bobby.

Hot damn, that's terrific.

No, it's not.
Bobby turned her down.

Turned her down. I don't understand.
He knew how much I wanted that deal.

- Are you sure about that?
- Very sure.

That's not the worst part of it.

It's not the worst? What can be worse?

Bobby told April not to tell you
that he turned it down.

That really made me mad.
April used to do that to me all the time.

She was always making my decisions
for me.

I think it stinks.

Well, "stinks" ain't the word.

I mean, who does he think I am?
I'm partner in that company.

I guess I shouldn't have told you,
but after the other night...

I don't know, l...
I felt like we were friends.

Friends shouldn't keep secrets
from each other.

Well, I don't believe that.
Wait till I see this guy.

Please don't tell Bobby
I was the one who told you.

Heh, April would banish me to Siberia.

No, don't worry about that.
I won't say anything.

Thanks.

Well, I should go.
I don't wanna keep you.

Oh, oh, listen, no, don't go.
I ordered Chinese food for two, so...

It will be here any minute.

Chinese? I love Chinese.

How's your detective work coming,
Mama?

Very well. We found out
where Jock's first strike was.

And Clayton and I are driving down there
this week.

Good. Happy hunting.

- Hey, this is new, isn't it?
- Yes, from April. It's a thank you present.

For her stay here.

She's a sweet and thoughtful girl.

- I like her.
- Yeah, so do I.

[PHONE RINGING]

That reminds me,
I got something for her I'd like you to see.

Hmm.
Good. I'd love to see it.

- Run upstairs. My briefcase is on my bed.
TERESA: Ewing residence.

Open it, bring down the present in it.

- Sure thing.
BOBBY: Thanks.

Mr. Bobby, telephone for you.

BOBBY:
Thank you.

JOHN ROSS:
Where are you going? It's dinner time.

I gotta get something for my dad
out of his room.

Hey, guess what, I'm going to England
to see my mom.

I bet you wish you could come along.

No, I don't wanna go to any old England.

I do. I can't wait to see where all those
people got their heads chopped off...

...visit real castles with dungeons
and ghosts and stuff like that.

Too bad you're stuck here.

I told you, I don't wanna go, John Ross.

You only say that because I'm going
and you're not.

Jerk.

BOBBY: Hey, Christopher.
Charlie Powell is on the phone.

He's got two tickets
for tonight's Cowboys game. Wanna go?

- Great.
- We just have time to make it.

Get a hustle on.

BOBBY:
Hey! Are you coming?

You bet.

[SIGHS]

Rose, those were the best flapjacks
I've ever had in my life.

[CHUCKLES]

- Right, Tommy?
- Light as a feather.

You're a good cook, Rose.

Well, don't you two know
how to flatter a lady?

We better get started, Tommy.
I've got a meeting at 9:00.

- Sure thing, Dad.
- We'll see you this evening, hon.

ROSE:
Hmm.

Don't worry about dinner.
Tommy and I are gonna barbecue.

- Oh, ha, ha, that will be fun. Bye, Mac.
McKAY: Bye.

Tommy.

Uh, Dad, go ahead.
I left my briefcase upstairs.

I'll warm up the car, but shake a leg.
I don't wanna be late.

[DOOR CLOSES]

- Did you forget something?
- Yes.

- You.
- Uh, what do you mean?

[CAR ENGINE REVS]

What's a trick like you think you're doing
latching onto my father?

- He's a thousand times too good for you.
- Tommy, you're hurting my arm.

Oh, shut up and listen.

You're nothing
but a cheap little opportunist.

- Let go, Tommy. You're wrong.
- I told you to shut up.

Now if we don't listen,
we don't learn, do we? Huh?

[ROSE GRUNTS]

Just look at yourself.

One look says it all.

Now, I know what my duty
to my father is.

[ROSE WHIMPERING]

It's to protect him from trash like you.

If you know what's good for you...

...you'll cut your little vacation short
and you'll clear out of here.

- You understand?
- Yes.

Yes, I understand.

Good.

[CAR HORN HONKS]

Yeah, well gotta run.

I don't wanna keep Dad waiting.

[ROSE SOBBING]

Just remember what I said.

Stick around here, I'll make you sorry
you ever laid eyes on me.

By the way...

...my briefcase is in the car.

[DOOR OPENS]

[DOOR CLOSES]

[CRYING]

[CAR DOOR OPENS]

[CAR DOOR CLOSES]

Hey, take it easy, son.

If you're not careful, you'll fall down
and bust something for sure.

JOHN ROSS:
We're gonna be late for the plane.

Hey, you ready to earn your wings,
John Ross?

You bet. I got a window seat
and everything.

CALLY: Have a real good time
and don't forget to write, now.

Sure. If Mom doesn't keep me too busy.

Look who's dragging his feet now.

- I'll call you as soon as his plane leaves.
CALLY: That'll be fine.

J. R:
Bye.

[PHONE RINGS]

Hello.

This is Cally Ewing.

Oh, hi, Alex.

You did? Well, what do you know?

What's going on?

Well, I don't see any reason why not.

Okay. I'll be there as soon as I can.

What happened?

Alex sold one of my paintings
to this lady.

She's very important in Dallas
and wants to meet me.

She's at the gallery right now.
You wanna come with me?

Rambo couldn't keep me away. Let's go.

Sign it "Bobby Ewing,"
but send copies to all the other distributors.

Bobby.

We can finish up later.

Okay. But don't forget you have to leave
for your meeting soon.

BOBBY:
Oh, thank you.

What's this I hear about you
refusing the Ellis County land deal?

How did you hear about that?

Never mind how I heard about it.
You know what that deal meant to me?

Cliff, that deal would tie up our capital
for a good number of years.

Let me ask you something. Did I come into
this company as an equal partner or not?

- Of course you did.
- Well, I wanna buy.

And I don't.

You're the boss? You got the title
so you could overrule anything I wanna do.

It's not that.
The name of the company is Ewing Oil...

...and I'm still the president.

All right, Mr. President. I wanna buy,
you don't. We're at a stalemate.

Which one of us loses?

Unfortunately, this time, you do.

- Look, I can show you...
- I don't wanna see the documents.

I can see the handwriting on the wall.

And I'll always be odd man out
in this company.

Phyllis.

I'm gonna walk to the meeting.
It's a couple of block.

Would you have Ralph wash
and gas up the car for me?

PHYLLIS: Mm-hm.
- Put that in the trunk.

PHYLLIS:
Well, are you coming back to the office?

No, uh, have him deliver it to Wilson's.

- Okay. See you tomorrow.
- Bye.

CLAYTON: Might have been bustling
when oil was flowing.

But right now,
doesn't even seem to rate a zip code.

Can't you find it?

Uh-huh. Here it is. Pride.

Probably nothing more than a wide spot
in the road now.

Hmm.

How far away is it?
We could have Jim fly us there.

Oh, come on, Ellie. This thing
is beginning to turn into a dead-end.

Why don't we just drink the wine
and forget it.

ELLIE:
Hmm.

I wish I had known Mallory
when he was alive.

He must have been quite a character.

I don't think "character"
is the right word.

ELLIE:
Hmm.

Show me where it is.

Well, it's, uh, down southeast
towards Beaumont.

Why don't we drive?

I haven't seen that part of Texas in years.
It would be fun.

Okay, Sherlock. I'll chauffeur you.
But I think it's just a wild goose chase.

Well, it's a good chance to get away.

And to have you all to myself.

[CHUCKLES]

Now you're talking.

[LAUGHING]

What's taking so long?

[SIGHS]

Why hasn't he opened that case yet?

[LINE RINGING]

PHYLLIS [O VER PHONE]:
Good afternoon. Ewing Oil.

This is Mr. Henderson
with Whitney Jewelers.

I'd like to speak to Bobby Ewing.

I'm sorry, he's not in...

...and I'm not sure he'll be back today.
May I help you?

We sold Mr. Ewing a musical pendant
and there's a possibility it's flawed.

I'd appreciate it if he'd check
and see if it's okay.

I'll try to reach him and get back to you,
Mr. Henderson.

Thank you for your concern.

No problem, miss.

No problem at all.

We'd certainly hate to lose
one of our most valued customers.

[LAUGHING]

[SIGHS]

Bye-bye, Bobby.

If you would have known him then, Rose,
you'd see how much he's changed.

Tommy used to be angry all the time.

But no more.

He's done a complete about-face.

If you only knew how good it is
to have my son back well and whole.

I thought I had lost him forever.

I'm happy for you, Mac. I really am.

Only if my daughter, Tracey, would come
home, I'd be the happiest man in Texas.

[ROSE SIGHS]

Mac...

...l've enjoyed our visit.

But with you and Tommy
just getting reacquainted...

...I feel kind of in the way.

I think it would best if I go on home.

What do you mean?

You're not interfering
with Tommy and me.

Besides, I like having you around.

[BOTH LAUGH]

We always did have good time together,
didn't we?

McKAY:
Aha!

But I think Tommy would be happy
if I hit the road.

- Why? What did he say?
- Nothing, Mac, honest.

Just... Just call it female intuition.

Are you sure? Because if he said something,
I'll have a talk to him.

Oh, no. It's nothing like that.

I just think he'd be happier
without strangers around.

Besides I gotta get back to my shop
before my operators steal me blind.

Well, if that's the case...

I'm sure sorry you can't stay longer.

Well, we'll keep in touch.

Maybe the next time you're up my way,
I can return your hospitality.

You're on.

I'm really gonna miss you.

Oh, me too, hon. Me too.

I better get back to the house and pack.

I'll help.

Hmm, sugar,
I can use all the help I can get.

[LAUGHS]

Alex.

[LUC Y SIGHS]

Cally. I'm so proud of you.

This is an important day.

I know. I still can't believe it.

I told you she had talent, didn't I?

You did indeed.
Credit where credit's due.

- Who bought the painting? Where is she?
- Lucy, I think there's a friend of yours here.

He was asking after you.

LUC Y:
Oh, Jay Stanley.

I wondered
where he'd gotten himself off to.

I'm gonna go over and say hi.
I'll be right back.

Take your time.

Come on, Cally.
I want you to meet Mrs. Evander.

I don't know what to say to her.
I'm so nervous.

Don't worry. You'll be fine. Come on.

- Mr. Barton, is this your new protégé?
- Yes.

This is Cally Harper Ewing.

Cally, Mrs. Ona Evander.

Come here, child.

I'm not going to bite you.

It's a pleasure to meet you, ma'am.

I wanna tell you how much it pleasures me
for you to buy one of my paintings.

The pleasure is mine, Cally.

I think your work is exceptional
for such a young artist.

Really?

Well, I still can't believe
that somebody actually bought one.

I don't think Cally understands
what it means...

...to have someone with your reputation
for taste buy one of her paintings.

Alex, I'm past the age of being taken in
by the flattery...

...of a handsome young man.

And regrettably...

...there are very few things left in this life
that give me much pleasure.

But one of them is helping young artists
get their start.

And another is money. Am I correct?

- Precisely.
- What do you mean, Alex?

The mere fact that Mrs. Evander
has one of your paintings in her collection...

...makes it desirable
to other art collectors.

And that increases
their value considerably.

- Is that a fact?
- Happily, it is.

A fact which I hope will not be overlooked
the next time I purchase one.

Absolutely. That goes without saying.

Mrs. Evander, time to go if you're going
to make your luncheon engagement.

Oh, yes, yes, of course. You're right.

Alex, you must bring this delightful child
over to tea next week.

- There are some people I'd like her to meet.
- With pleasure.

I'll be looking forward to it,
Mrs. Evander.

My secretary will call you
with the details.

You've arrived, Cally.

Tea at Mrs. Evander's. Congratulations.

Oh, thanks to you, Alex.

You've been so kind to take
such an interest in me and my paintings.

You're special, Cally.

It's easy for me
to take a special interest in you.

[CALLY SIGHS]

Isn't Mrs. Evander grand?

I've never met such a lady before.
She's just so...

- So elegant, isn't she?
- Exactly.

Elegance, style and breeding.

[INTERCOM BUZZES]

Yes?

SECRETARY [O VER INTERCOM]:
Mr. McKay, Mr. Brenner is here to see you.

McKAY:
Oh, send him in.

Mr. Brenner.

I'm delighted to meet you.

I can't tell you how grateful I am
for what you have done for my son.

I appreciate your feelings, Mr. McKay.
I only hope they're not premature.

What do you mean?

Well, Tommy's not coming
to his rehab sessions.

That's why I'm here,
to see how he's doing.

Really? Well, I'm sorry to hear that.

But he seems fine
and I don't think he's using any drugs.

He's probably not,
but that doesn't mean he's not in trouble.

I don't understand.

Well, drug abuse
is just the tip of the iceberg.

What it masks are Tommy's
deeper psychological problems.

Well, you may be the expert...

...but, uh, I think you're wrong.

Since he's been home, he's done nothing
to indicate that he's out of control.

He's certainly shown
no signs of violence.

Denying the problem
won't make it go away, Mr. McKay.

He may seem to have the situation
under control now.

But I can almost guarantee you
it won't last.

Now, can't you talk him into coming back
into counseling?

Even if I wanted to, I'm not sure I could.

[SIGHS]

I think you're making a big mistake.
But for your sake, I hope I'm wrong.

Because in Tommy's new role
of father protector...

...he could be capable
of almost anything.

[KNOCKING ON DOOR]

APRIL: Who is it?
BOBBY: Guess.

[APRIL LAUGHS]

BOTH:
Hi.

[APRIL MO ANS]

[BOBBY MO ANS]

Give me about an hour to stop.

We don't have an hour.

But what I do have is a present for you.

- You do?
- Yes, I do.

Right in here.

[APRIL GASPS]

It's in honor
of a memorable Viennese evening.

[APRIL LAUGHS]

APRIL: What is it?
- Well, I got it right here. Hang on a second.

Oh, would you stop? Don't rush it. This...

I'm not gonna give you
if you get greedy.

- Come on.
- I may not give it at all.

- Come on.
- No, I'm not.

- What is it?
- I made it special. I'm not gonna give it...

APRIL: It isn't fair.
- You don't get if...

[APRIL SCREAMS]

APRIL:
My present.

[APRIL SCREAMS]

NARRATOR:
Next on Dallas:

Something wrong with my tanker?

Just taking on a little water.
Nothing serious.

No! Get this guy! He's got a bomb.

- Maybe we should have lunch more often.
- I call this a marriage of the minds.

Did you sleep with Marilee Stone?

No!

You got a really nice walk.

Should we get married?
