Dallas (1978–1991): Season 14, Episode 19 - Farewell, My Lovely - full transcript

Last on Dallas:

I'm the one he is married to.

I am not talking
to you, sweetie.

- I am talking to my husband.
- 80 am I.

This story has a
two-drink minimum.

I can't believe you're
taking this crap.

Cliff, I can't get into a
spitting contest with Bambi.

Oh, man.

Daddy?

That's right.

Daddy. Ha, ha.



Uh... I want you to
let us adopt Jimmy.

You want a family? Start
your own. Leave mine alone.

- Don't get carried away.
- If I'm not legally married...

you can forget about a Ewing ever
having anything to do with Ewing Oil.

You got that straight, Grandpa?

- Jory.
- I've seen my mother.

She told me everything.

- You already let one child getaway.
- Oh. The hell I did.

You let Cally walk out
of here with your child.

It's your baby.

I'm not the father, you are.

You're lying.

Cally told me you were the father
of that child and you never denied it.

You're damn right I didn't. You
would have made her life hell if I had.



Well, if it is my child, it
belongs here with me.

Why? You think you're
such a great father?

I should have never told
you she was pregnant.

Who gave the right to
play God with my life?

I'm not playing God.

I thought I was
being a friend to Cally.

A friend? How?

By claiming you'd be
the father of that child?

Hey, she said that, not me. And
she only said it to protect her child.

My child.

- I wanna know where she is.
- I don't know.

Don't. If you're such good friends,
you would have kept in touch.

I told you, I don't know.

When she left town, I
never heard from her again.

And if you were smart,
you'd leave her alone.

Why would I wanna do that?

You think she's gonna
give you the kid just like that?

She'll fight you
every inch of the way.

I've never turned my
back on a fight in my life.

Is that what you want?
Along, ugly custody battle?

You think that's gonna
do the kid any good?

You think that's gonna make
him love you? Wanna live with you?

Cally could come back to
Dallas. We could remarry.

Heh. You're kidding.

Trust me, J.R...

if you go after her, I'll make your life
just as miserable as you made hers.

Unless getting the kid is more
important to you than me and Ewing Oil.

Oh, maybe you're right.

Maybe I should
forget the whole thing.

I got John Ross and
you and a new grandson.

What else could a man want?

I want her found and
I want her found new.

Do you have any reason to
believe your wife is still in Dallas?

Ex-wife.

No. I doubt that
she's still in town.

Why don't you try that place I
was telling you about, Haleyville?

Though if she went back to that
pigsty, she's dumber than I thought.

Here, that's for you.

Thank you.

What about her brothers?

Is it possible she kept
in touch with them?

Maybe they know where she is.

God forbid.

She's an artist, maybe she's out
there trying to sell her paintings.

Maybe somebody is even
trying to buy them, heh.

I'll check and see.
Anything else?

No. Just tell me as
soon as you find her.

And for God's sake, don't let
her know I'm looking for her.

Is that all you ate?

I'm not very hungry.

Well, you need your strength.

- Can I get you anything else, Mr. Barnes?
- No, that's it.

- Thanks, Debbie.
- You're welcome.

Hey, kid. Cheer up.

It's not too late
to divorce him.

How can I divorce him when
we aren't even legally married?

I hate being in love.

You know something? For
once I think I agree with you.

I mean, why do people
have to fall in love?

- Why does it have to be so complicated?
- I don't know.

If I knew that, my life
would be a lot happier.

I'm sorry.

It's just... This has never
happened to me before.

I'm always the one that's
been in control. And now I'm not.

I'm really scared.

Leave him.

I'm not saying that you
have to fall in love with me.

But we do like each other. I
think we'd be good for each other.

Cliff, I can't.

Maybe it's best not
to care for anyone.

But it's too late for me.

I love James and I
don't wanna lose him.

Well, then we just have to figure
out a way to get rid of Debra Lynn.

- We?
- Yeah, we.

You and me. We're
in this together.

Just leave the bags here. I'll
have someone inside bring them in.

Hello.

Hi.

You visiting?

Well, sort of.

Mr. Ewing said I could
stay because James and I...

My name is Debra Lynn.

I'm Clayton Farlow.

You're James' friend, hmm?

Well, actually I'm his wife.

Excuse me. The last I heard, he
was married to Michelle Stevens.

Oh, he was. I mean, he is.

But I married him first.

And are you visiting too?

No. I live here.

I'm married to J.R.
and Bobby's mother.

But you said your
name was Farlow.

I am their stepfather.

It's confusing, I know. Um...

Who is this little guy?

He's my son, Jimmy.

Jimmy.

Jimmy as in, uh...

James Richard Beaumont II.

Hey, Clayton.

Welcome back.

Thanks, James.

This your son?

Yeah, he sure is.

Daddy.

Hmm. And you're all
living at Southfork now?

Well, that's a long story. Um...

So, what brings you back to
Dallas? Is Miss Ellie with you?

No, I came back on business.

Are J.R. and Bobby
about? I have to talk to them.

Oh, no. I'm sorry.

You know, J.R. is at work and
I have no idea where Bobby is.

Well, that's all right. I'll
see them at dinner tonight.

Oh, I guess it means
I'm gonna have to move.

- I think I'm sitting in your chair.
- My chair?

Well, it's pretty crowded around
the dinner table these days.

Maybe we can talk Michelle
into moving her seat again.

Michelle's still here?

Yeah, well, we're just one
big happy family now, ha, ha.

I'll see you, Clayton.

Come on, Jimmy.

Hmm.

Jory, if I'd have known
you didn't like Italian food...

we could have eaten
somewhere else.

I love Italian, I
just wasn't hungry.

I was still thinking
about my mother, I guess.

What did you do?

You like them?

I don't know what to say.

Oh. They're beautiful.

It's gonna make me cry.

Oh, don't do that. I don't
have a handkerchief.

What is all this for?

When I played ball...

our coach would tell this
story every time we lost a game.

He'd say that no
matter how bad we felt...

there were millions of
people all over the world...

who didn't know we lost and,
frankly, didn't give a damn.

He said that flowers
were still nice to smell...

and the balloons fun to look at.
The sun's gonna come up tomorrow.

So my troubles aren't all that
big in the scheme of things.

It does get better, Jory.

Believe me, I know.

And I want you to know
that you've got a friend here...

who understands exactly
what you're going through.

- Now you really are gonna make me cry.
- Only good tears.

Only good tears. I promise.

Thank you.

Thanks.

This is great, huh?

Is that for you or for Jimmy?

Oh, we're sharing.

James, he can't eat all that.

Come on, Debra Lynn, be a
sport. Let me spoil him a little, huh?

So, big guy, what do you
think? Looks pretty good, huh?

- Here.
- I'm really glad you like Jimmy so much.

But I'm beginning to
feel like a third wheel.

Jimmy's ours.

Don't I count for anything?

Well, sure you count. I just..

It's kind of hard to
picture us still married.

What if there never was a Jimmy?

Would you be happy to see
me just like you are to see him?

You ask pretty tough
questions, don't you?

Sorry. That was unfair.

I mean, I knew you remarried.

I knew your wife
was rich and beautiful.

How could I possibly compete?

Why does everybody
around here have to compete?

What's wrong with
just living your own life?

Look at me, a couple of weeks ago I
worked in a motorcycle shop. I loved it.

I'm not surprised.

I'll never forget
our first date.

You drove up on
your motorcycle...

and I was so scared I was
gonna fall off of that thing.

But you said, "Just put
your arms around me.

Hang on tight.

I'll never let anything
happen to you."

Yeah, I remember.

After a while, I relaxed...

and we just drove around, taking
all the back roads we could find.

Yeah. We had a lot
of fun in those days.

Yeah, we did.

Guess that's why we got married.

Yeah, I guess.

But that was a long time ago.

Look, I think I gave
Jimmy more than he wants.

Uh, maybe he'd be better off
with just a plain old cone, heh.

Clayton. Right on time.

Thanks for seeing me
on such short notice.

Time is all I got these days.

- Can I fix you a drink?
- Whatever you're having is fine.

I didn't realize
you were moving.

There's nothing
left in Dallas for me.

As you well know.

Oh, I heard what happened
to Westar, and I'm sorry.

And I bet that's
why you're here.

You want your
voting rights back.

I know it's not a good time for
this but I do have plans for them.

Take them, they're
yours to begin with.

Just one less link
to this city for me.

You're leaving for good?

The sooner the better.

I'd like to start
all over again.

If that were possible.

- Any idea where?
- No.

Not yet.

But there's something
I have to do first.

I wanna find Rose.

I wanna ask her to
come back to me.

I heard that you
and she ended badly.

It was my fault.
Everything was my fault.

She's the best thing that
ever happened to me...

and I put her through hell
for no damn good reason.

I'm sorry, Mac.

I hope you find her.

I'll just keep
looking until I do.

I'd like to sell this place...

and I thought you and
Miss Ellie might buy it back.

After all, it was once
part of Southfork.

Thanks, Mac. I'm afraid
it's out of our hands.

What do you mean?

You're gonna have to ask
the new owner of Southfork.

Where'd the highchair come from?

Oh, I found up in the attic. It used to
be Christopher's when he was a baby.

Yeah, that was
only six months ago.

- Shut up, butthead.
- Shut up yourself, dweeb-face.

Boys, would you knock that off?

Yeah, we wouldn't
want little Jimmy...

picking up any of your lovely
manners, now, would we?

Don't worry about
Jimmy. He's just fine.

I'm sure Debra Lynn has
been very careful with him.

Oh, I'm sure she has. She's so
perfect in everything she does.

Would you all stop this? No wonder
Mama doesn't wanna come back here.

You're right about that.

She's sick and tired of
your fighting and backbiting.

Players have changed,
but yelling's still the same.

You'd think she'd wanna
see her great-grandson?

- I mean, that changes things for her.
- Nothing's gonna change for her, J.R.

There's always something
going on here to upset her.

You and Cally divorcing.

April's death. And
you losing Ewing Oil.

I hate to think what this latest
development would do to her.

I don't understand why the woman
who is the head of the family...

doesn't wanna come back and
see her children once in a while.

We get saddled with her second husband,
always trying to tell us what to do.

All right, knock it off, J.R.

Now, the only
reason I came back...

was to settle some
business with you and Bobby.

And then I'm going back
and join your mother.

I hope to God the two of us
never have to see your face again.

Is this really
necessary, Michelle?

You can play daddy tonight.

Right now, there's a
stack of contracts to sign...

a dozen phone calls to return,
and 10 meetings to attend.

Why can't you just
sign everything?

You make the deals, you
handle the paperwork. Have fun.

Lock him in there
if you have to.

But he's not coming out until
these contracts are signed.

- Kendall, get me Cliff Barnes on the line.
- Right away, Michelle.

Yes?

Mr. Barnes on line one.

Thanks.

Hi. We're set.

He'll be in the office all day.

And she's alone at Southfork.

Thanks, Cliff. Good luck.

Hello, who is it? Yes.

Ha-ha-ha. Wow.

Are you gonna come over
here and play with me?

Look what Uncle J.R. got
you. I mean, Grandpa J.R.

Look at this.

Show me how you
load up that truck.

Now come on.

Show me how you do that. Yeah?

Did you figure this
out like yesterday?

- What do you do with that?
- Hello. Christopher. Uh...

Oh, hi. I was looking
for Christopher.

Oh, he's not home from school yet.
- Really?

Well, I guess I'm
a little early. Yeah.

Well, you mind if
I just wait around?

Well, I'm, uh, Cliff Barnes.

I'm his uncle.

And you must be Debra Lynn, huh?

Oh, heard a lot about you. Hi.

- You have?
- Yeah. Oh, yeah.

Hey, looky here.

Hey, is this Jimmy?

Huh? Huh? Whoa.

Oh, he is cute.

You must be real proud of him.

Oh, I am. CLIFF: Ha, ha. Yeah.

Oh, kids are terrific.

I'll bet James really
gets a kick out of him.

He does.

But, you know, he
has another family now.

Oh, yeah, but nothing like this.

You think Michelle makes
him as happy as this little guy?

Oh, I don't know,
he did marry her.

No, he was forced to marry her
to save Ewing Oil for his daddy.

Yeah, you think there's any
love in that marriage? No way.

Everything is so confusing around
here. I don't know what to think.

Let me fill you in on the
Ewing family facts of life.

Michelle Stevens Beaumont is a
first-class, A number 1, gold-plated"

Person.

James can't stand her, but he needs
her to hang on to his father's company.

- I think you're exaggerating.
- Trust me.

James would be a lot
better off without her.

Michelle doesn't know it but
she'd be a lot better off without him.

I mean, she can find another
partner to help her run Ewing Oil.

And someone who really
knows what he is doing.

You hang in there.

You're about to live
happily ever after.

Thanks for the lift, Mike.

Man, are you in trouble.

The principal found out
you've been cutting school.

Judy Clark told me she
heard him call your dad.

- Judy Clark knows zip.
- I'm serious, John Ross.

She works in the principal's
office during study hall.

So I'll get suspended, big deal.

I get to stay home
and watch TV all day.

What's your problem?

Do you want
everybody mad at you?

I'm the one who
should be mad at them.

For letting that stupid baby into
the house. He's ruining everything.

I guess it's no fun being
an uncle after all, is it?

You should talk.

It's not as if you've been seeing
a whole lot of your dad either.

At least I don't cut
school because of it.

Just forget it.

I got a call from
my mom yesterday.

- So?
- So she really misses me.

She got me my own horse
for when I come to visit.

Big deal, you got
your own horse here.

Yeah, but at least she'll
be around to ride with me.

She's the only one
who cares about me.

Or even thinks about me.

I hate it here. I
just hate it here.

Flush this stuff down the
toilet. Keep it out of my sight.

Yes, sir.

Enough playing around, J.R.

Mrs. Beaumont, do you
have an appointment?

I don't need an appointment.

That's all right,
Sly. Close the door.

Excuse me.

What's the matter, J.R.?

Don't you want everyone to
hear what a failure you are?

What do you want, Michelle?

We had a deal, remember?

So far, I don't see you
living up to your end.

If I have to see that sweet thing's face
across the dinner table one more time...

I'm gonna puke.

I'm working on
this as fast as I can.

I don't think you're
working on this at all.

I think you're enjoying that little
grandson a bit too much for your own good.

- What does that mean?
- It means you have two days...

to get Debra Lynn out of Texas.

If she's not gone by then,
I'm going to my lawyer.

And James is out of Ewing Oil.

Michelle.

Let me ask you something.

Are you and James
planning on having a family?

Sure, if that's what he wants.

A big one? Little one? What?

Why do you care?

Curious as to what kind
of family you're thinking of.

What difference does it make?

As long as I'm not the
one changing the diapers.

Oh, good evening.

Anybody seen John Ross?
I'd like to talk to that boy.

Now, wait, J.R. Now that I
got you both in one room...

there's something
I need to discuss.

Well, that's what you've been saying.
Nothing wrong with Mama, is there?

No, your mother is fine.

We had some business that
she asked me to talk to you about.

What is it?

Well, first of all, it's about
the voting rights of Westar.

I got them back from McKay.

They're yours, J.R.

You're pulling my leg. - No.

Your mother and I agreed
that you should have them.

I'm getting out of the
business for good...

and the only person that they'd
really mean anything to is you.

Congratulations, J.R. Looks
like you're back in business.

Clayton, you telling me I been
wrong about you all these years?

I mean, this calls
for a real celebration.

There's one more thing.

Your mother decided not to come
back to Southfork for a while. If at all.

Why, what's the matter?

Like I told J.R., she's
sick of the fighting

and tragedy that seem
to haunt this family.

She doesn't think it's right
for her to own Southfork...

if she's not gonna
be here anymore.

So she's giving the title
to the ranch to you, Bobby.

You're kidding.

I've got the papers with me.

I need your signature and you
are the new owner of Southfork.

Congratulations.

Congratulations, hell.

You forced her into that,
you miserable old coot.

Knock it off, J.R. You think the
whole world is plotting against you?

Well, he is. I bet
you're both in on this.

Calling Mama behind my back.
You telling her you're a rancher now.

Now you're just being stupid.

What did you do? Tell
her you're a Southworth?

You thought that crap worked
on me, so you tried it on her.

J.R., the decision's been made.

Learn to live with it.

You learn to live with this: Southfork
is just as much mine as it is Bobby's.

I'll fight you every
inch of the way, boy.

Shut up, J.R.

We both got what we wanted.

Southfork should go to
me. If Daddy was alive...

- he'd make sure that happened.
- Got it.

Daddy isn't alive.
If Mama sees fit...

- Southfork.
- To leave me Southfork, it's her right.

- Don't you talk to me about right.
- Uncle J.R.?

You have a phone
call. It’s a Mr. Connors.

I'm not finished with you yet.

This better be good, Connors.

We found your wife, Mr. Ewing.

She's in Palm Beach,
Florida, with your child.

All right. Book two seats on
the first flight out to Palm Beach.

I'm gonna pack a bag right now.

Yeah?

- You wanted to see me, Dad?
- Come in.

Shut the door.

Your principal called
me this afternoon.

Apparently, you've been
skipping classes all week.

Hope you got a
good reason for that.

School's boring. They're not teaching
me anything I don't already know.

So you think you're ready
to run an oil company?

School can't teach me
how to run an oil company.

Where do you think I
learned? And James?

Or do you think you're smarter
than just about anybody else?

I just hate school, all right?

Why don't you get off my case?

Listen, son, don't
you talk to me like that.

I don't give a damn
whether you like school.

- You are gonna go to school.
- Why?

So I could be just
like you and James?

Who cares?

I don't want your
stupid company either.

Now you listen to me, son, and listen
good. I've had it with your attitude.

Your cousin Lucy gave my daddy
the same lip that you're giving me.

Saying that she could skip
school any time she wanted to...

and he taught her a lesson, and
I'm gonna teach you the same one.

From now on, one of the ranch
hands is gonna pick you up...

and drive you
straight to school.

And walk you down the hall to your
classroom if that what he has to do.

Do you understand?

Yes, sir.

All right.

I don't wanna have this
conversation again, you hear?

I'll be back in a couple of
days. When I do get back...

I wanna see a big
improvement in your attitude.

I just had to get out of there.

Even if it meant leaving James
alone with Bambi and Bambi Jr.

Things getting a little
tense around there, huh?

Oh. Tense isn't the word.

Oh, God. What is this?

- Ugh. It's awful.
- Huh? What is that? That's instant coffee.

I made it with the tap water
there. What do you mean...?

- That's not so bad.
- Ugh.

Anyway, I don't think
you have to worry...

about being pleasant
to Debra Lynn anymore.

- How did your talk go with her today?
- Very well.

Very interesting conversation.

Interesting enough to
make her wanna leave?

Well, I just told her about some
of the people living at Southfork.

And was she upset?

I think she's looking at
her life differently now.

As long as she's on the next plane home,
I don't care how she looks at her life.

Thanks, Cliff.

Heh. For what?

For making me feel like
I'm not all alone in this.

- John Ross?
- What?

There's some food left over
from dinner if you're hungry.

Are you okay?

I hate him.

He's the worst
father in the world.

I guess he came down
on you pretty hard, huh?

I'm out of here, Christopher.

I'm gonna ask my mom
if I can come live with her.

- No way.
- I'm serious.

I never wanna see my dad again.

And I want you to come
with me to England.

- Yeah, right.
- I mean it.

Our dads don't even
know we're alive anymore.

At least we won't get all
this junk from my mom.

- But I get along fine with my dad.
- Yeah, when you see him.

Come on, we'll
have a great time.

So, what do you say?

Are you with me or not?

Well, I've sure seen a
lot of Southfork by now.

My dear, we have barely
scratched the surface.

You mean there's more?

That's unbelievable.

- You like it?
- I love it.

I still can't believe
it's all yours.

Neither can I,
but I'm starting to.

You know, I'm beginning
to think you're right...

after all, ha, ha. If there's alight
at the end of the tunnel for you...

- there's gotta be one for me.
- Count on it, Jory.

I feel like I have a future again
and everything's falling into place.

I think that's wonderful, Bobby.

There's so much I wanna do here.

I wanna get this
ranch in shape...

and make it into a good
working ranch, like it used to be.

Ha, ha. You're not
wasting any time, are you?

Not a minute. Not a second.

Southfork is mine.

I feel like I have my future
right here in the palm of my hand.

There it is.

According to our records, a Mrs.
Ewing is a silent partner in the gallery.

She is using her
maiden name, Harper.

She must be doing
pretty well for herself.

Not bad.

She uses the place to
display and sell her paintings.

She's in there right
now with your son.

They should be
leaving in a few minutes.

Then why don't we wait?

Yes, Jackie?

A Debra Lynn Beaumont
is here to see you.

Shall 1 show her in?

Please.

Thank you. JACKIE: Mm-hm.

What are you doing here?

- Is Jimmy okay?
- Jimmy's fine.

- Oh.
- I left him with Teresa back at Southfork.

James, you and I
have to have a talk.

I thought that's all
we've been doing.

Maybe.

But nothing's been
accomplished really, has it?

Debra Lynn, I'm not ready
to make a decision yet.

Yeah, well, I am.

I've done what I came here for,
James. I let you know you had a son.

And I'm not gonna stay
here and fight anymore.

It's time for me and
Jimmy to go home.

No. Not yet.

Then what? You want me to stay?

As your wife?

I don't know.

Yes, you do.

By not making a decision,
you've decided something.

You're not gonna leave Michelle.

Debra Lynn, this isn't
something I can decide in a week.

I need more time.

I'm sorry, James. I
can't give it to you.

I thought you only had a
business marriage with Michelle.

And maybe you don't
like her all that much...

but I think Ewing Oil is more
important to you than anything.

Now, that isn't true.

You can come visit
Jimmy any time you want.

But I have a ticket on
a flight for tomorrow.

I'm going home.

Hello, Michelle.

Hello, Debra Lynn.

There she is.

My son.

Mr. Ewing.

They're leaving. Don't
you wanna talk to her?

What's the matter?
Isn't that her?

No.

It's not?

I'm sorry.

I don't understand howl
could have made that mistake.

Well, I'll keep on looking.

No, don't bother.

Call off the search.

Wherever she is, she doesn't
need me in her life anymore.

It's open.

Mac.

Hey, Bobby.

No, no, no. Don't get up.

I didn't mean to
disturb your dinner.

It's no trouble. There's
plenty here, if you want some.

No, thanks. I ate already.

Well, I let the help go.

There was no point in
keeping them on anymore.

Clayton was right,
you're really leaving.

I should have done
it a long time ago.

Well, if you're still interested in
selling this ranch back to the family...

I'm here to make you an offer.

Then the rumor is
true, Southfork is yours.

Yeah, it is.

Now, who is gonna keep J.R. in check
if you're not in the oil business anymore?

Frankly, that's not
my problem, Mac.

Now, do you wanna sell
this ranch to me or not?

I'm sorry, Bobby...

if I had known you were
interested, I would have held on to it.

- You sold it already?
- To a family member of yours.

- Who bought it?
- Michelle Stevens, or is it Beaumont now?

And what is Michelle gonna
do with a place like this?

She bought it for her and James.

So they could be
close to Southfork...

but they wouldn't have J.R.
breathing down their neck all the time.

Well, Mac, I have a feeling this ranch is
gonna be on the market again real soon.

Don't tell me, there's
trouble in paradise?

Teresa told me you
wanted to talk to me?

Come in. Close the door.

Where were you this afternoon?

Jackie said you left early.

Ah, I took a ride on my bike.
I needed some time to think.

I did some thinking too.

I think I've been pretty good
in this Debra Lynn business.

Yeah, yeah.

I'm impressed.

Impressed enough to give
her and Jimmy up for me?

I don't know, Michelle...

you know, I feel like I'm
getting it from both sides here.

Now, why is everybody
pressuring me for an answer?

Because this
can't go on forever.

Look, I'm sorry...
but I've had enough.

I want you back at Ewing
Oil and back in this bedroom.

I love you, James.

And I will do anything I
can to make you happy.

But there's one
thing I won't do.

I won't dangle on a string...

while you decide whether
you love me or not.

James.

Where you been?

Oh. God, I could
use a real drink.

Everything okay?

I don't know.

That depends on you, son.

Me, why?

I tracked down Cally.

I went to see her.

Hey, you promised
me you wouldn't.

It's all right, I let her go.
She didn't know I was there.

You're kidding.

It was the hardest
thing I've ever done.

But I realized that Cally and the baby
would be much happier without me.

She doesn't want me in her life.

But with you, well,
it's different, son.

Now you're not gonna try and tell
me to make a decision, are you?

Can't put it off much longer.

I know what you want me to do.

You want me to stay with
Michelle and Ewing Oil.

I don't give a damn about
Ewing Oil. To hell with it.

It was always my
daddy's company anyway.

Ewing and Ewing is my
company and it could be yours too.

Keeping the family together
is the most important thing.

So you better think
long and hard about this.

Because giving up a son...

is something you're gonna have
to live with for the rest of your life.

So when do I get to
see Southfork again?

Well, if you like it so much
there, maybe I can get you a job.

I can always use a helping
hand mucking out some stables.

Oh, you're too kind.

Well...

You have a secret
admirer or what?

No.

These are for you.

For me? Ha, ha. Why?

Well, part of it is to thank
you for being so nice to me.

But most of it is because...

Well, I don't know about you
but I thought that was pretty good.

Well, it was interesting
to say the least.

Oh, come on, Bobby.

Isn't this what the whole
week together has been about?

I don't know, Jory,
but I didn't think so.

You know, after that
fight with my mother...

I didn't think I was
gonna feel anything again.

And you changed all that.

I just couldn't
wait to show you.

I've surprised you. I'm sorry.

Oh, no. It's okay.

But let's just wait and see how
things go between us, okay?

You're not closing the
door in my face, are you?

Ha, ha. No. The door
is exactly where it was.

- Is that okay?
- That's very okay.

Good.

- Hi, James.
- Hey, Sly.

- Boy, I really like your offices. Ha, ha.
- Thanks.

- Is J.R. expecting you?
- No.

Hey, James, I thought
you might show up.

Hey. J.R.: Come on in.

Well, what do you think?

It's not bad.

Ha, ha, not bad at all.

There's an office here
for you if you want it.

What about Bobby?

No, no, he's not
involved in this.

Just you and me, and
Debra Lynn, Little Jimmy.

- If you want them.
- Well, Debra Lynn is a real nice girl...

I don't know, we really
were in love once.

Maybe we could be again.

What about Michelle?

Michelle is great but
I'm not in love with her.

Even though life is never
boring when she's around, heh.

Is that what it boils down to?
Whether or not you're bored?

No. It boils down to my son.

I hardly know him, but I
feel this connection for him.

I don't wanna let him go.

Well, he and Debra Lynn come
as a package deal, you know?

Yeah, I know.

Well, what it's gonna be?

I'm going back to
Debra Lynn and Jimmy.

I want a family.

You're a Ewing after all.

- I'll call my lawyer.
- All right.

Let's get it. Ha, ha.

Excuse me.

- May I help you? WOMAN:
I'm looking for Jory Taylor.

Jory's out of town. Would
you like to leave a message?

I'm Hillary Taylor.

I'm really rather anxious
to see my daughter.

Next on Dallas:

You be sure when you ask Bobby for Jory's
number, you don't tell him it's for me.

I don't wanna ruin the surprise.

It can all be settled
in the next 24 hours.

It's not like we have
a major problem here.

Somewhere along the line, J.R. must
have gotten to that boy, poisoned his mind.

All we have to do is figure
out how we can get back at him.

I know what I'd like to do.

I'd like to give him a
vasectomy starting at the neck.

Hey, trust me, I'm only gonna
let this go so far, and that's it.

Can't help being the way you are any more
than lighting can help striking the ground.

James, don't do this to me.

I always thought you were
a damn fine-looking woman.

I always wondered
what you'd be like in bed.

So this morning's as
good as any time to find out.

Get away from me.
