Dallas (1978–1991): Season 2, Episode 10 - Act of Love - full transcript

OH, DON'T YOU WORRY
ABOUT A THING, DADDY.

I'M WATCHING AFTER
THE EWING INTERESTS.

Jock: IF THERE'S ANYTHING
THAT I OUGHT TO KNOW ABOUT,

GIVE ME A CALL, YOU HEAR?

WELL, I SURELY WILL, BUT THERE'S

NOTHING GOING ON YOU
SHOULD KNOW ABOUT, DAD.

WELL, I'LL DRINK TO THAT...

AND TO J.R., AND
LONGER AND MORE TRIPS.

HOW CAN YOU BE 6 WEEKS PREGNANT?

ARE YOU TRYING TO TELL ME, J.R.,

THAT YOU MAY NOT BE
THE FATHER OF OUR BABY?



YOU TELL ME.

I'VE BEEN JUST AS FAITHFUL
TO OUR MARRIAGE VOWS

AS YOU HAVE.

CAPTIONING MADE
POSSIBLE BY WARNER BROS.

[WHINNIES]

YOU SEEM TO BE GETTING
UP EARLIER EVERY DAY, JOCK.

HEH HEH. WELL...

IT JUST, UH, DOES
ME A LOT OF GOOD TO

DO A LITTLE HORSEBACKIN'
NOW AND THEN.

THANKS.

BESIDES, IT...

WELL, IT GIVES ME A
GOOD FEEL OF THE RANCH.

MY FATHER WAS AN EARLY PERSON.

HE SAID THE RANCH
WAS ALWAYS AT ITS BEST



IN THE MORNING.

HEH HEH HEH.

WELL, I DON'T KNOW ABOUT THAT,

BUT ONE THING FOR SURE.
I DO LIKE IT PEACEFUL.

MORNIN', MAMA, DADDY.

MORNIN', BOBBY.

COFFEE, BOBBY?

NO, THANK YOU.

WHERE ARE YOU GOING TODAY?

WELL, I GOTTA BE DOWN
IN AUSTIN BY NOON.

WHEN I SHOW JOE
MORRIS THOSE PLANS...

THE PLANS! I FORGOT THE PLANS!

WAIT A MINUTE!

OH, BOBBY! YOU
PROBABLY CAN USE THESE.

THANK YOU, DARLING.

BYE, EVERYBODY! SEE YOU LATER!

OH, SOMETIMES I THINK THOSE DAYS

WHERE ALL I HAD TO
DO WAS SIT AROUND

AND DRINK COFFEE WEREN'T SO BAD.

WELL, PAM, THAT'S WHAT YOU GET

FOR TAKING A JOB
IN THE FIRST PLACE.

WELL, I LOVE MY JOB.

IT'S JUST WHEN BOBBY AND
I LEAVE AT THE SAME TIME,

IT GETS SO RUSHED.

YOU'RE AWFULLY EARLY
THIS MORNING, PAM.

OH, BIG SALE AT THE STORE.

THEY WANT ALL THE CHEAP
HELP IN EARLY FOR INVENTORY.

THAT MEANS ME.

THAT JUST DOESN'T
MAKE ANY SENSE,

SUE ELLEN, AT ALL!

NOW, LUCY, I TOLD
YOU THAT I DIDN'T MIND.

I DON'T CARE IF YOU DO MIND.

I CAN DRIVE JUST AS WELL

AS ANYONE ELSE IN THIS FAMILY,

AND I THINK IT'S DUMB THAT
I DON'T HAVE MY OWN CAR.

MORNING, GRANDDAD.

MORNIN', SWEETHEART.
HOW'S YOUR KNEE?

IT STILL HURTS.
BUT IF I HAD A CAR,

I WOULDN'T HAVE TO WALK ON IT.

NOW, J.R.'S GONNA GET YOU A CAR

AS SOON AS HE FEELS
YOU'RE READY FOR IT.

I DON'T SEE WHY IT'S UP TO J.R.

DON'T YOU THINK I
SHOULD HAVE A CAR,

GRANDDADDY?

YOU LEAVE HIM OUT
OF THIS, YOUNG LADY.

HE SPOILS YOU ROTTEN AS IT IS.

WELL, THEN I'M
GONNA GO TALK TO J.R.

ABOUT IT RIGHT NOW.

UH, NO, NO. NOT
THIS MORNING, LUCY.

YOUR UNCLE'S A TRIFLE
UNDER THE WEATHER.

OH, DID HE TIE ONE
ON AGAIN LAST NIGHT?

MUST BE A TERRIBLE
STRAIN ON YOU, SUE ELLEN.

I DON'T THINK YOU'RE
SHOWING YOUR UNCLE

THE PROPER RESPECT.

RIGHT. WELL, COME ON.

IF WE'RE GONNA GO, LET'S GO.

[HORSE WHINNIES]

AH... WHICH, UH,
SIDE OF THE FAMILY

DO YOU THINK LUCY
TAKES AFTER, HUH?

WELL, A LITTLE OF BOTH, I GUESS,

BUT LEANING TOWARD THE EWINGS.

HEH HEH. WELL,
THAT AIN'T ALL BAD.

IS IT? HEH HEH HEH.

HMM-HMM.

I'M AWFULLY SORRY.

OH! MRS. EWING,
HOW NICE TO SEE YOU.

DO YOU HAVE A TABLE FOR 3?

CERTAINLY. RIGHT THIS WAY.

BEING A EWING DOES
HAVE CERTAIN ADVANTAGES.

[SOFT PIANO PLAYING]

UH, I'LL BE THERE IN
JUST A MINUTE, OK?

CLIFFORD...

MY, AREN'T YOU MOVING
UP IN THE WORLD.

PAM...

YOU KNOW, YOU BETTER
NOT LET ANYBODY

SEE YOU EATING HERE.

THEY'RE GONNA WONDER
WHAT YOU'VE BEEN DOING

WITH THOSE CAMPAIGN
CONTRIBUTIONS.

HOW IS IT THAT WHEN
YOU TAKE ME TO LUNCH

ALL I GET IS A SODA AND A TACO?

OH, WELL, I DIDN'T THINK
I HAD TO IMPRESS YOU.

BESIDES, I WASN'T AWARE

THEY LET COMMON
SHOP GIRLS IN HERE.

YOU'RE LOSING YOUR TOUCH.

I CAN REMEMBER THE TIME

WHEN YOU LOVED
COMMON SHOP GIRLS.

YEAH, WHENEVER POSSIBLE.

UM...

I THINK I'VE BEEN STOOD UP.

SO... SINCE I'M HERE,

DO YOU WANT TO
HAVE LUNCH WITH ME?

WELL, IT IS YOUR LUCKY DAY.

I'M HERE WITH A COUPLE GIRLS

FROM THE STORE.

CAN I HAVE A RAIN CHECK?

SURE.

GOOD.

WELL, I'LL SEE YOU SOON.

OK. BYE-BYE.

PAMELA.

SUE ELLEN, HI. I DIDN'T KNOW

YOU WERE COMING INTO TOWN TODAY.

LAST MINUTE PLANS.

OH, YOU WANNA
HAVE LUNCH WITH ME?

I'M HERE WITH A COUPLE FRIENDS

FROM THE STORE.

OH, HOW NICE, UH,
BUT I'VE JUST FINISHED.

UH, PERHAPS SOME
OTHER TIME, DEAR.

OK, UM, OH, SUE ELLEN, YOU
KNOW MY BROTHER CLIFF?

WE'VE MET.

MRS. EWING, ALWAYS A PLEASURE.

I'M SURE.

WELL, YOU HAVE A PLEASANT LUNCH,

NOW, PAMELA.

MR. BARNES.

BYE.

SHE'S REALLY WARM, ISN'T SHE?

SHE DOESN'T SEEM TOO
PARTIAL TO US BARNES.

I WISH YOU'D REMEMBER.

WHAT?

I'M AN EWING NOW. OH.

THEY'RE GOOD, BOBBY.

I THINK WE CAN DO SOME
BUSINESS WITH THOSE.

YOU JUST TELL ME WHEN.

SOON, BUT FIRST I THINK
I'VE GOT SOMETHING

THAT'LL INTEREST YOU MORE.

SUCH AS?

DID YOU EVER HEAR OF
FARRADAY, MARSHAL, MATHIS?

NO, I CAN'T SAY AS I HAVE.

WELL, THEY OPERATE
OUT OF BOSTON.

COVER SOME DIVERSE THINGS

LIKE MUTUAL FUNDS,
INSURANCE, INVESTMENTS.

SOUNDS LIKE OLD TIME MONEY.

EXACTLY.

AND AFTER 200 YEARS,
THEY'RE EXPANDING.

SEEMS THEY FINALLY
HEARD THAT THERE IS

A UNITED STATES
BEYOND PHILADELPHIA.

SO THEY'RE GONNA BUILD
A SOUTHWESTERN BRANCH.

WELL, WHERE BETTER THAN DALLAS?

YEAH, ON SOME OF
THAT PRIME EWING LAND

YOU GOT SCATTERED AROUND.

WHEN DO WE MEET THEM?

THE WEEKEND AFTER NEXT.

THAT'S THE 17th.

17th. TELL YOU WHAT.

LET'S INVITE THEM
OUT TO SOUTHFORK.

IMPRESS THEM WITH A
BIG, OLD TEXAS PARTY.

ALL RIGHT.

IF SOUTHFORK RANCH
CAN'T CONVINCE THEM

THEY'RE DEALING WITH

A SUBSTANTIAL PILLAR
OF THE COMMUNITY,

I DON'T KNOW WHAT WILL.

I'LL MAKE THE ARRANGEMENTS.

PAM!

WAIT UP.

[ELEVATOR DINGING]

HI. HI.

[SIGHS]

WELL, HOW'S IT GOING?

TERRIFIC.

I GOT STRAIGHT As IN
MARKDOWNS TODAY.

AHA, NOT QUITE THE GLAMOUR JOB

YOU HAD IN MIND?

MMM, WELL,

I KNEW I WASN'T GONNA
START AT THE TOP,

BUT I DIDN'T THINK
I'D HAVE TO LOOK UP

TO SEE THE BOTTOM.

GOOD THINGS ARE
ON THE WAY. TRUST ME.

SUCH AS?

I'LL LET YOU KNOW
WHEN THE TIME'S RIGHT.

SEE YOU TOMORROW.

[ALL TALKING AT ONCE]

DID YOU PICK UP THE
TIE? 'CAUSE I NEEDED THAT.

I GOT A GREAT TIE. IT'S BLACK...

THAT I'VE EVER HEARD OF.

IT'S JUST WONDERFUL.

AND... AND WHAT ABOUT, UH,

I COULD USE SOME CUFF LINKS...

DARLING, I HOPE
THAT DOESN'T MEAN

YOU'RE GONNA HAVE LONGER HOURS.

HEY, UH, BROTHER?

BOBBY, I NEED A FAVOR OF YOU.

WHAT'S THAT, J.R.?

SINCE YOU'VE BEEN
OUT IN THE FIELD

WITH YOUR CONSTRUCTION COMPANY,

I DON'T KNOW IF YOU'RE
AWARE OF IT OR NOT,

BUT WE GOT SOME RATHER
IMPORTANT LOBBYING

GOING ON IN WASHINGTON.

AS BUSY AS I AM, J.R.,
YES, I DO REMEMBER THAT.

OH, GOOD, GOOD,

THEN YOU WON'T MIND
HOLDING DOWN THE OFFICE

WHILE I FLY UP THERE
FOR A FEW DAYS.

YOU'RE GOING TO
WASHINGTON, J.R.?

YEAH, GOING TOMORROW MORNING.

WANT TO SEE THAT EVERYTHING
WORKS THE WAY WE WANT IT TO.

J.R., I'VE GOT ABOUT
7 DIFFERENT THINGS

GOING ON NOW.

WELL, THAT'S JUST
SIDELINE, BOBBY,

AND THE NUMBER ONE
COMPANY AROUND HERE

IS EWING OIL.

THERE ARE MEETINGS
THAT I HAVE TO BE AT.

WELL, HAVE THE
MEETINGS AT THE OFFICE.

HOLD IT!

HELL, I STARTED THAT COMPANY
AND RAN IT FOR MANY YEARS.

I THINK I CAN TAKE CARE
OF IT FOR A COUPLE OF DAYS.

YOU THINK THAT'S WISE, JOCK?

I'M NOT DIGGIN'
DITCHES, MISS ELLIE.

I'LL JUST BE SITTIN'
IN THE OFFICE.

DADDY, I CAN ARRANGE TO
HAVE MY MEETINGS AT THE OFFICE.

THAT'S ALL RIGHT,
BOBBY. DO ME GOOD.

FINE, FINE, THEN
IT'S SETTLED NOW.

I KNOW I CAN LEAVE THE
OFFICE IN GOOD HANDS.

WHAT TIME'S YOUR FLIGHT, J.R.?

11:30.

MAYBE I COULD TAKE
YOU TO THE AIRPORT.

UH, NO, I'LL HAVE MY
SECRETARY DO THAT,

DARLIN'.

OH, DON'T BE SILLY. I'D LOVE TO.

WE HAVEN'T HAD ANY
TIME TOGETHER TO TALK,

AND GET TO KNOW
EACH OTHER AGAIN.

LET'S DO IT.

ALL RIGHT. SO BE IT.

HELLO.

I KNOW.

HE JUST FELL ASLEEP.

OF COURSE.

HE'S GOING AWAY FOR A FEW DAYS.

OF COURSE I'M SURE.

I'M TAKING HIM TO
THE AIRPORT MYSELF.

MAKE SURE HE GETS
ON THAT AIRPLANE.

MY SECRETARY WILL KNOW
WHERE TO GET A HOLD OF ME.

THANKS FOR THE RIDE, DARLIN'.

HAVE A GOOD FLIGHT.

I ALWAYS DO.

GOOD MORNING.

MORNIN', DARLIN'.

GOOD MORNING, MR. EWING.

NICE TO SEE YOU
ON OUR FLIGHT AGAIN.

THANK YOU. THANK YOU.

[INDISTINCT CONVERSATION]

WE ARE GONNA HAVE

A WONDERFUL WASHINGTON FLIGHT.

I'M LOOKING FORWARD TO IT.

JUST WAIT TILL YOU
LOOK BACK ON IT.

HA HA HA HA!

[TELEPHONE RINGING]

GOOD MORNING. EWING OIL.

HI. ANYBODY NEED ME?

UH, MR. COOPER AT
THE BANK CALLED.

UH, TELL HIM I'LL CALL HIM BACK.

I'M SORRY. MR. J.R. EWING

ISN'T IN THIS MORNING.

THE PLUMBING CONTRACTOR
SAID HE'D CALL BACK.

OK.

MR. THOMAS FROM
THE PLUMBERS UNION.

MR. EWING SENIOR'S HERE.

AND MR. JOE MORRIS FROM AUSTIN

SAID IT WAS VERY IMPORTANT
THAT HE SPEAK TO YOU.

OK.

IS MY DADDY HERE?

UH, YES, SIR.

OK, CALL JOE MORRIS.

TELL HIM I WANT TO TALK TO HIM.

I'LL TAKE IT IN J.R.'s OFFICE.

HOW'S IT GOING?

WELL, I DON'T KNOW WHY
J.R. MADE SUCH A FUSS

ABOUT SOMEBODY BEING HERE.

NOBODY WANTS TO TALK
TO ANYBODY BUT HIM.

HELL, I MIGHT AS WELL
HAVE STAYED HOME.

WELL, I TOLD YOU BEFORE,

HE KEEPS THINGS
PRETTY MUCH TO HIMSELF

AROUND HERE. [BUZZ]

ONLY ONE HE LETS ME
TALK TO IS MY SECRETARY.

OH, THAT'S PROBABLY FOR ME.

HELLO. Joe: BOBBY.

YEAH, JOE, THIS IS BOBBY.

GOOD MORNING.

I HAVE SOME GOOD NEWS FOR YOU.

WHAT? THAT OLD
LINE EASTERN MONEY?

YEAH, I JUST TALKED
TO HARRISON FARRADAY

HIMSELF. IS HE IMPORTANT?

ONLY THE FARRADAY

AT FARRADAY, ET
CETERA, ET CETERA.

WELL, I AM IMPRESSED.

THE QUESTION IS
IS HE COMING OUT?

WELL, I INVITED
HIM TO THE PARTY.

A LITTLE PLEASURE,
A LITTLE BUSINESS.

LET HIM SEE WHAT
DALLAS IS ALL ABOUT,

ESPECIALLY SOUTHFORK.

MM-HMM.

AND HE AND MRS. FARRADAY

ARE COMING OUT TO THE PARTY,

ALONG WITH SOME MORE
OF HIS DECISION MAKERS.

SAID HE WAS VERY
ANXIOUS TO MEET YOU,

ESPECIALLY PAM.

PAMELA?

WHAT'S PAMELA
GOT TO DO WITH THIS?

YOU KNOW THESE OLD
LINE CONSERVATIVES.

HE SAID HE PLACES JUST
AS MUCH IMPORTANCE

ON A MAN'S PERSONAL LIFE

AS HE DOES ON HIS PROFESSIONAL.

I THINK HALF THE
BATTLE'S GONNA BE PAM.

THEN START CELEBRATING, BUDDY.

IF THAT DEAL DEPENDS ON PAMELA,

WE GOT THAT CONTRACT
IN OUR BACK POCKET.

WELL, I'M COUNTING
ON YOU, BOBBY.

COULDN'T BE SAFER.

I'LL SEE YOU NEXT WEEK.

OK, FINE. BYE.

DADDY... YEP?

YOU KNOW THAT PROPERTY

YOU BOUGHT OFF OF
GREENVILLE AVENUE?

THE ONLY THING I
REMEMBER ABOUT IT,

IT TURNED OUT DRY AS DUST.

WELL, I THINK WE MIGHT
HAVE JUST STRUCK OIL.

Sue Ellen: I BOUGHT
YOU A LITTLE PRESENT.

OH?

THOUGH YOU MAY NOT REMEMBER,

IT'S BEEN, UH, 6
WEEKS AGO TONIGHT

THAT, UH, I...

WELL, THAT WE
FIRST CAME UP HERE.

AND I WOULD LIKE
TO PROPOSE A TOAST.

TO J.R. EWING... FOR GIVING ME

ONE OF THE NICEST
THINGS HE'S EVER GIVEN ME.

WHICH IS?

UH, GOING OFF TO
WASHINGTON TO DO...

WHATEVER IT IS HE
PRETENDS TO DO,

AND LEAVING US ALONE FOR 2 DAYS.

WELL, I'LL DRINK TO THAT.

AND TO J.R., AND
LONGER AND MORE TRIPS.

AAH!

BOBBY! HA HA HA HA!

OH, CUT IT OUT!

AW, COME ON. I MISSED
YOU BY THAT MUCH.

OOH!

OH! OHH!

I DON'T KNOW IF I LIKE YOU
WHEN YOU'RE THIS HAPPY.

HAPPY?

WHY SHOULD I BE HAPPY, DARLIN'?

I JUST HAVE A SHOT

AT THE BIGGEST DEAL
OF MY ENTIRE LIFE.

WELL, GOOD FOR YOU.

BOBBY, I'VE GOT AN
HOUR TO GET TO WORK.

MY HAIR'S SOAKING WET.

ANYWAY, I'M AS NERVOUS AS A CAT.

OH, COME ON. YOUR HAIR WAS WET

BEFORE I EVER JUMPED IN.

AND WHAT ARE YOU NERVOUS ABOUT?

YOU JUST HOLD MY ENTIRE CAREER

IN YOUR HANDS.

BOBBY, DON'T TEASE
ME ABOUT THAT.

ALL RIGHT, COME ON.

IT'S NOT ALL THAT
IMPORTANT, DARLIN'.

IT'S JUST A PARTY.

WHAT'S SO TOUGH ABOUT THAT?

EVERYTHING.

I DON'T KNOW THE FIRST THING

ABOUT PLANNING A BIG PARTY.

THEN WHY DON'T
YOU ASK SUE ELLEN?

SHE'S QUEEN OF THE PARTY GIVERS.

NOW, THAT'S A GOOD IDEA.

YEAH, IF ANYBODY
KNOWS, SUE ELLEN WILL.

ALL RIGHT. YOUR
PROBLEM'S SOLVED,

BUT YOUR HAIR'S STILL WET.

THANKS TO YOU. I'M GOING IN...

AND REPAIR THE DAMAGE
YOU HAVE WROUGHT.

IT'S NOT ALWAYS
EASY BEING AN EWING.

I TOLD THEM I'M HAVING DINNER

WITH AN OLD FRIEND.

LAKE BACHMAN, 4:00.

I'LL BRING A LITTLE LUNCH
AND, UM, MAYBE SOME WINE.

YOU'VE GOT TO EAT
SOMETIME, CLIFF.

OK, SEE YOU THERE.

[FOOTSTEPS]

UH, YES,

I'LL TELL MR. EWING
THAT YOU CALLED.

YES, HE'LL BE
HAPPY TO HEAR THAT.

THANK YOU. BYE.

SUE ELLEN. YES?

SUE ELLEN, I HAVE
TO TALK TO YOU.

WELL, I WAS JUST,
UH, ON MY WAY OUT.

ARE YOU GOING INTO DALLAS?

YES.

WELL, LET'S HAVE LUNCH.

UM, I NEED TO TALK TO YOU.

OH, WELL, I HAVE SEVERAL THINGS

I HAVE TO DO TODAY.

OH, I KNOW,

BUT I THINK IT'S
IMPORTANT THAT WE TALK.

WELL, CAN'T WE TALK HERE?

NO, NO. I'M RUNNING LATE.
I'VE GOT TO GET TO WORK,

BUT WHY DON'T WE HAVE LUNCH, OK?

1:00 AND, UH, CASA MADRID?

1:00.

GOOD. BYE, SUE ELLEN.

[DOOR CLOSES]

GOOD MORNING, EWING
OIL. NO, I'M SORRY.

MR. EWING ISN'T IN RIGHT NOW.

YES, SIR.

YES, WE EXPECT HIM BACK SHORTLY.

[RING]

GOOD MORNING. EWING OIL.

GOOD MORNING, MR. AAMES.

NO, HE'S NOT BACK YET.

[RING] YES, SIR.

WHEN HE CALLS IN

I'LL TELL HIM THAT YOU CALLED.

GOOD MORNING. EWING OIL.

NO, SIR, HE'S NOT IN.

ANY OTHER REPORTS
THAT I OUGHT TO...

CATCH UP ON?

I THINK YOU'VE READ
THEM ALL, MR. EWING.

HMM.

ANYBODY CALL ME

WHILE I WAS TALKING
TO PUNK ADDERSON?

UM, NO, SIR. HE
WAS THE ONLY CALL.

WOULD YOU LIKE ME

TO MAKE YOU A LUNCH
RESERVATION SOMEWHERE?

EH, WELL, I GUESS SO.

CALL THE CATTLEMEN'S CLUB,

AND TELL THEM
I'LL BE RIGHT OVER.

AND IF I HAPPEN
TO GET ANY CALLS,

YOU CAN REACH ME THERE.

YES, SIR.

[PIANO PLAYING,
INDISTINCT CONVERSATION]

RIGHT THIS WAY, MRS. EWING.

OH, THERE SHE IS. THANK YOU.

HI. SORRY I'M LATE.

I'M SO GLAD YOU WAITED.

WELL, YOU KNOW, PAMELA,

I HAD A MILLION
THINGS TO DO TODAY.

I KNOW. I APPRECIATE
YOU MEETING ME HERE.

WELL, IT SOUNDED SO
TERRIBLY IMPORTANT.

IT IS.

SUE ELLEN, I NEED YOUR HELP.

HEH. MY HELP?

WELL, ABOUT WHAT?

YOU'VE NEVER ASKED ME
ABOUT ANYTHING BEFORE.

I KNOW.

BOBBY'S GONNA
HAVE THIS BIG PARTY

AT SOUTHFORK ON THE 17th,

AND I JUST DON'T
KNOW THE FIRST THING

ABOUT HANDLING THAT
KIND OF BIG AFFAIR.

YOU DON'T MEAN TO TELL ME

THAT YOU HAVE BROUGHT
ME IN TO LUNCH WITH YOU

TO TALK ABOUT HAVING A PARTY?!

YES.

HA HA HA! WELL, WELL, PAMELA.

I THINK THAT'S JUST
A LITTLE RIDICULOUS.

WHY DIDN'T YOU MENTION
THIS AT THE HOUSE?!

I THOUGHT THIS WAS
TERRIBLY IMPORTANT.

WELL, I WANTED TO
TALK TO YOU PRIVATELY,

AND THIS IS VERY
IMPORTANT TO BOBBY.

WELL, I DIDN'T KNOW THAT.

SUE ELLEN, I GET THE FEELING

YOU EXPECTED TO TALK
ABOUT SOMETHING ELSE.

WHAT WAS IT?

WELL, DON'T BE SO ABSURD.

HOW DID I KNOW WHAT YOU
WANTED TO TALK ABOUT?

SURE. I'LL HELP
YOU WITH THE PARTY.

THE ONLY THING I CAN DO

IS INTRODUCE YOU
TO THE CATERERS,

AND JUST TALK TO HIM, AND, UH...

HE'LL BE ABLE TO HELP YOU OUT

WITH ALL THOSE DETAILS.

THANK YOU.

I REALLY APPRECIATE THIS.

I'M SORRY IF I
INCONVENIENCED YOU TODAY.

TELL YOU WHAT.

LET'S ORDER, AND
I'M BUYING LUNCH.

UH, PAMELA, WOULD
YOU MIND TERRIBLY

IF I SKIPPED LUNCH?

I HAVEN'T BEEN FEELING
TOO WELL LATELY,

AND THE SIGHT OF FOOD
MAKES ME A LITTLE QUEASY.

EXCUSE ME.

BYE.

EVERYTHING GOING ALL
RIGHT BACK THERE, J.R.?

HAVEN'T TALKED TO YOU ALL DAY.

I LIKE TO KNOW WHAT'S GOING ON.

WELL, SIR, YOU KNOW HOW IT IS.

JUST TRYING TO KEEP
EVERYBODY ENTERTAINED...

BEST I CAN.

WELL, JUST KEEP
SPREADIN' THE Bs, BOY.

YES, SIR.

"BOOTY, BOOZE, AND BROADS,"

FIRST THING YOU TAUGHT
ME A GOOD LOBBYIST LIKES.

NOW, DON'T YOU WORRY
ABOUT A THING, DADDY.

I'M WATCHING AFTER
THE EWING INTERESTS.

ALL RIGHT.

WELL, IF THERE'S ANYTHING
THAT I OUGHT TO KNOW ABOUT,

GIVE ME A CALL, YOU HEAR?

WELL, I SURELY WILL,

BUT THERE'S NOTHING GOING ON

YOU SHOULD KNOW ABOUT, DAD.

GIVE MY BEST TO
MAMA AND SUE ELLEN.

YEAH, I'LL DO THAT.

WELL, WHAT HAVE WE HERE?

OHH.

[GLASS BREAKS]

SO WHAT'S J.R. UP TO IN
WASHINGTON THIS TIME?

SAME AS USUAL, I IMAGINE.

THAT'S AN INTERESTING ANSWER.

YOU KNOW, YOU KEEP
TALKING ABOUT IT,

AND I KEEP TRYING TO ANSWER YOU,

BUT WHY DO YOU KEEP
TALKING ABOUT J.R.?

I KNOW NOTHING
ABOUT HIS BUSINESS.

WELL, WHAT IF YOU DID?

IS THAT WHY YOU'RE
SEEING ME, CLIFF?

TO FIND OUT MORE ABOUT J.R.?

NO, I'LL TELL YOU,

I JUST FIND HIM AN
INTERESTING GUY.

I JUST LIKE TO KNOW
WHAT MAKES HIM TICK.

WELL, IF I WANTED
TO TALK ABOUT J.R.,

I COULD HAVE JUST STAYED HOME.

TALK TO ME ABOUT OTHER THINGS.

LIKE CABBAGES AND KINGS?

YEAH.

AND...

AND THE BIRDS AND THE BEES.

WHY DID YOU DO THAT?

BECAUSE IT WAS FREE.

YOU CAN SEE YOU'RE NOT WITH

ONE OF THE ALL-TIME
BIG SPENDERS NOW.

YOU BARNES ARE
DISGUSTINGLY POOR.

LISTEN, YOU KNOW,
IF IT'S NOT MY MONEY,

THEN WHAT IS MY FATAL CHARM?

MAYBE IT'S BECAUSE

J.R. DISLIKES YOU SO MUCH.

AND WHAT YOU'RE SAYING
IS THAT YOU'RE WITH ME

BECAUSE IT WOULD
HURT HIM THE MOST

IF HE FOUND OUT.

HMM.

ISN'T THAT FUNNY.

I WONDER IF THAT'S IT?

YOU KNOW, I'M JUST SO TIRED

OF J.R. GETTING
EVERYTHING HE WANTS,

OF ALWAYS WINNING.

SO YOU PICKED ME, THE LOSER.

WELL, I'VE GOT TO
TELL YOU SOMETHING.

I'VE BEEN BEATEN BEFORE,

BUT I HAVE NEVER LOST.

UNDERSTAND THE DIFFERENCE?

YES.

WELL, I COULD NEVER
SETTLE FOR A LOSER.

THAT'S WHY I'M HERE WITH YOU

INSTEAD OF, UH, SOMEWHERE ELSE.

I HAVE SOMEWHERE ELSE IN MIND,

IF YOU HAVE THE TIME.

WELL, I, UH, THOUGHT
YOU'D NEVER ASK.

[BUZZ] YES?

Secretary on intercom:
MRS. EWING IS HERE.

OH, ASK HER TO COME RIGHT IN.

HI.

OH, COME IN. SIT DOWN.

I HEARD THAT I WAS SUMMONED.

WHAT DID I DO WRONG?

NOTHING. NOT A THING.

AS A MATTER OF FACT,

WE ARE ABOUT TO ELEVATE YOU...

FROM YOUR HUMBLE STATION.

YOU'RE KIDDING.

NOT I. FROM NOW ON,

YOU ARE GONNA BE MOVING
ONLY IN THE BEST CIRCLES.

SUCH AS?

GOT A PASSPORT?

SURE I'VE GOT A... A PASSPORT?

YOU CAN'T GET INTO
FRANCE WITHOUT ONE.

YOU AND I ARE GOING TO PARIS.

OH, LIZ!

THAT'S WONDERFUL!

PARIS?!

WELL, THAT'S WHERE
THE FASHION SHOWS ARE,

THAT'S WHERE WE BUYERS BUY.

WE BUYERS?

OH, PAM, LOOK, YOU ARE BRIGHT.

YOU'VE GOT GOOD
TASTE IN CLOTHES.

YOU'VE GOT A GREAT SENSE
OF STYLE, OF WHAT'S RIGHT.

SO I THOUGHT IT WAS ABOUT TIME

YOU LEARNED A TRADE.

THANK YOU SO MUCH.

I CAN'T TELL YOU

HOW MUCH I'VE WANTED THIS, LIZ.

THANK YOU.

YOU'RE GIVING ME SUCH A CHANCE.

OH, I FORGOT.

PARIS.

BOBBY WON'T LIKE IT?

WELL, I'M NOT SURE

HE'LL THINK IT'S PART
OF THE BARGAIN WE MADE.

RENEGOTIATE.

THIS IS THE CHANCE
OF A LIFETIME.

OH, I WILL.

I MEAN, I'M SURE
HE'LL UNDERSTAND.

I'LL TELL HIM TONIGHT,

BUT HOW AM I EVER
GONNA THANK YOU?

WELL, THANK ME BY GOING.

OH, I SURE WILL.

IF YOU'RE GONNA TELL
BOBBY, DON'T YOU THINK

YOU OUGHT TO TELL
HIM WHEN YOU'RE GOING?

OH.

THAT'S A GOOD POINT.

WHEN?

WELL, WE'RE LEAVING
THE NIGHT OF THE 15th.

WE'LL BE BACK WITHIN A WEEK.

WELL, THAT WOULD PUT
ME IN PARIS ON THE 17th.

YEAH.

IS THAT BAD?

I DON'T KNOW.

OH, I HOPE NOT.

THIS FAMILY'S FALLING APART.

TAKE A LOOK AT THAT.

I'LL TELL YOU, IT'S
FALLING APART.

JOCK, THERE'S NOTHING WRONG

WITH LUCY SPENDING
THE NIGHT WITH A FRIEND.

WHICH ONE?

MURIEL GILLIS.

[CHUCKLES] MURIEL?

I DIDN'T KNOW ANYBODY
STILL CALLED KIDS MURIEL.

WELL, THEY DO, AND
SHE HAPPENS TO BE

A VERY NICE, QUIET GIRL.

THEN WHAT'S SHE DOING WITH LUCY?

NOW, THAT'S ENOUGH OF THAT.

JUST A FEEBLE ATTEMPT
AT HUMOR, MOTHER.

YEAH, WHAT ABOUT SUE ELLEN?

SHE CALLED. SHE MET
SOME FRIENDS IN TOWN.

SHE'S STAYING OVER FOR DINNER.

SHE'LL BE HOME LATER.

YOU KNOW, THERE WAS
A TIME WE ALL SAT DOWN

AND ENJOYED DINNER
TOGETHER AS A FAMILY.

NOWADAYS THEY'RE SCATTERED
IN ALL DIFFERENT DIRECTIONS.

DADDY, LUCY'S GROWN UP NOW,

AND WE ALL HAVE
JOBS WE HAVE TO DO.

SOMETIMES YOU HAVE
TO TRAVEL FOR BUSINESS.

NOT THAT YOU WANT
TO, JUST HAVE TO.

WELL, AHEM, I KNOW
WHEN I'M OUTNUMBERED.

MISS ELLIE...

THEN I'M GOING TO LEAVE IT.

[CHUCKLES]

WHY DON'T YOU AND
I, UH, SKIP DESSERT,

TAKE A STROLL AROUND THE RANCH?

BEAUTIFUL NIGHT.

WHY, JOCK, THAT WOULD BE NICE.

BOBBY, PAM?

NO, THANKS.

I THINK I'LL HAVE SOME COFFEE.

WELL, YOU WERE AWFULLY
QUIET DURING DINNER.

OH, I KNOW.

SOMETHING YOU
WANT TO TALK ABOUT?

YEAH. LET'S GO IN THE
OTHER ROOM, THOUGH.

OK.

WELL, DARLING,
WHAT'S THE MATTER?

WELL, IT'S THE PARTY.

THE PARTY?

DIDN'T YOU TALK TO SUE ELLEN?

YEAH, YEAH.

SHE GAVE ME THE
NAME OF THE CATERER.

WELL, THEN, EVERYTHING
SHOULD BE FINE, ISN'T IT?

BOBBY, THE 17th IS SO SOON.

I MEAN, THERE'S SO MUCH TO DO.

I DON'T EVEN... YES, PLEASE...

I DON'T EVEN KNOW IF I HAVE

THE RIGHT KIND OF DRESS TO WEAR.

DARLING, I'M SURE YOU CAN USE

YOUR EMPLOYEE'S
DISCOUNT CARD AT THE STORE

AND FIND SOMETHING TO THROW ON.

BOBBY, COULDN'T WE
PUSH THE PARTY OFF

A COUPLE OF WEEKS?

THEN EVERYTHING WILL BE PERFECT.

HONEY, I DIDN'T PICK THE 17th.

NOW, THAT'S WHEN THAT
FARRADAY CHARACTER

IS GONNA BE OUT HERE.

IF I DON'T GET HIM TO THE RANCH,

I DON'T KNOW WHEN
I'M GONNA GET HIM BACK.

AND HE WANTS TO BUILD NOW.

THEN IT'S NOW OR NEVER FOR YOU.

FOR ME? FOR US, DARLING.

I TOLD YOU YOU'RE
JUST AS IMPORTANT

TO STARTING THIS DEAL AS I AM.

HEH. WELL... [CLINKS GLASS]

THE 17th IT IS.

AND CHEER UP.

IT'S JUST A PARTY, NOT
THE END OF THE WORLD.

ANY QUICK GUESSES, DOCTOR?

I NEVER GUESS, SUE ELLEN.

BUT ON THE SURFACE,

I SEE NO GREAT CAUSE FOR ALARM.

THEN, UH... WHY DO I
FEEL SO, UH, STRANGE?

COULD BE ANY NUMBER OF REASONS,

BUT WE'LL KNOW BETTER

WHEN WE GET THE
RESULTS OF THE TEST.

HOW'S JOCK FEELING?

STRONGER THAN EVER.

THAT'S GOOD.

JUST SO HE DOESN'T OVERDO.

YOU KNOW, TALKING
TO THAT MAN IS LIKE

TALKING TO A WALL.

YOU TELL HIM I SAID THAT.

I WILL.

AND, UH, YOU'LL CALL ME

AS SOON AS YOU GET THE RESULTS?

FIRST THING.

WE SHOULD KNOW THIS AFTERNOON.

OH, BY THE WAY,

YOU BETTER TELL J.R.
THAT HE'S LONG OVERDUE

FOR HIS ANNUAL PHYSICAL.

OK, I WILL. HE'LL BE IN SOON.

ALL RIGHT, SUE ELLEN.

MMM.

THAT'S GOOD.

[INTERCOM BUZZES]

YEAH, I LIKE THAT ONE.

YES?

Woman: THERE'S A
MR. BOBBY EWING.

HE WANTED TO KNOW
IF YOU COULD JOIN HIM.

TELL HIM I'LL BE RIGHT THERE.

I'LL BE RIGHT BACK.

BOBBY EWING?

[BELL DINGING]

I DON'T THINK WE
CARRY YOUR SIZE, BOBBY.

OR ANYBODY ELSE I KNOW.

YOU'D BE SURPRISED
AT THE 5'3" MATRONS

WHO THINK THAT OUTFIT
WAS MADE JUST FOR THEM.

THAT'S WHY I FIGURED
I NEED YOUR HELP.

OH! TO DO WHAT?

TO FIND THE RIGHT
DRESS FOR PAMELA.

SPECIAL OCCASION?

I NEED SOMETHING
THAT SHE CAN MAKE

A DYNAMITE IMPRESSION IN.

SHE'S GOT SOMETHING
PRETTY SPECIAL COMING UP.

I KNOW.

YOU DO? MMM.

YEAH, I GUESS YOU WOULD, YEAH.

PAM TOLD ME SHE WAS
GOING TO TALK TO YOU

ABOUT IT LAST NIGHT.

I AM SO GLAD YOU AGREE
THAT SHE SHOULD GO.

WELL, WHY WOULDN'T I AGREE?

WELL, NOT EVERY
HUSBAND WANTS HIS WIFE

GOING OFF TO PARIS

ON SUCH SHORT NOTICE AS THIS.

PARIS.

UHH, WHEN WAS SHE
LEAVING? I TOTALLY FORGOT.

THE 15th.

BOBBY, YOU ARE TERRIFIC.

YOU REALLY DO UNDERSTAND

HOW IMPORTANT THIS IS TO PAM.

THIS IS HER FIRST JOB AS A BUYER

AT THE BIGGEST FASHION
SHOW OF THE YEAR.

UH, LIZ, ABOUT THAT DRESS...

IF YOU'RE WILLING
TO FOOT THE BILL,

I HAPPEN TO HAVE A LITTLE NUMBER

THAT WILL GUARANTEE
TO STOP TRAFFIC

WHEREVER SHE GOES.

YEAH, OK.

FINE.

[WHINNYING]

BUT MURIEL GILLIS JUST
GOT HER SECOND CAR,

AND NOBODY AROUND HERE
WILL EVEN LET ME DRIVE.

LUCY, WE'VE BEEN
ALL THROUGH THIS.

YEAH, BUT WE ALWAYS
END UP THE SAME WAY.

FOR ONCE, I WISH SOMEONE
WOULD REALLY LISTEN

TO WHAT I WANT.

I DON'T KNOW WHY YOU'RE
SO ALL-FIRED UP, LUCY.

YOU'VE GOT PLENTY OF
PEOPLE AROUND HERE

CAN TAKE YOU ANYPLACE
YOU WANT TO GO.

BUT WHAT IF I WANT
TO GO BY MYSELF?

PERHAPS WE ALL
THINK IT'D BE BETTER

IF SOMEONE ELSE DROVE YOU.

PERHAPS YOU DON'T EVEN THINK.

LUCY, THAT'S RUDE!

BOBBY, DO YOU THINK IT'S FAIR?

WHAT, HONEY?

DO YOU THINK IT'S FAIR

THAT I DON'T HAVE MY OWN CAR?

TO TELL YOU THE TRUTH,

I HAVEN'T THOUGHT ABOUT IT ALL.

SEE?

BUT AT LEAST HE ADMITS IT.

[TELEPHONE RINGS]

HELLO.

HI. HI.

I LOVE YOU.

I LOVE YOU.

WELL, WHICH MRS. EWING

DID YOU WANT TO SPEAK TO?

HOLD ON A SECOND.

SUE ELLEN, IT'S FOR YOU.

SUE ELLEN EWING.

OH, YES, DOCTOR.

WELL, THAT CAN'T BE.

YES, I UNDERSTAND.

THANK YOU, DOCTOR.

SUE ELLEN, WHAT'S WRONG?

YOU ALL RIGHT?

YES.

WELL, THEN, WHAT IS IT?

WELL, UH... THAT WAS THE DOCTOR.

[SIGHS]

HE SAID, UH...
THAT I'M PREGNANT.

PREGNANT?

HA!

PREGNANT?! HA HA HA!

WELL, HOW ABOUT THAT?!

I CAN'T BELIEVE IT,
AFTER ALL THESE YEARS.

I JUST CAN'T BELIEVE IT!

THAT'S WONDERFUL, SUE ELLEN!

OH, SUE ELLEN, THAT'S
TERRIFIC. REALLY.

THANK YOU, LUCE.

CONGRATULATIONS, SUE ELLEN.

I KNOW HOW MUCH YOU WANTED THIS.

THANK YOU, SWEETIE.

SUE ELLEN...

I KNOW HOW LONG
YOU'VE WANTED THIS.

I'M SO HAPPY FOR YOU.

I KNOW YOU REALLY
MEAN THAT, PAMELA.

THANK YOU.

Jock: J.R.!

THIS IS YOUR DADDY!

HANG ON A SECOND.

SUE ELLEN'S GOT
SOMETHING TO TELL YOU!

COME ON.

HA HA HA!

J.R.?

SUE ELLEN.

WHAT ARE YOU DOING
CALLING ME HERE AT WORK?

Sue Ellen: WELL, I
HAVE SOME, UM...

IMPORTANT NEWS FOR YOU.

ALL RIGHT, DARLIN', GO AHEAD.

AHEM.

I'M PREGNANT, J.R.

WE'RE GONNA HAVE A BABY.

A BABY?

J.R.?

OH... OH, MY, THAT'S WONDERFUL!

ARE YOU TRULY HAPPY?

I AM. OH, YES, I AM.

NOW, LISTEN, DARLIN',

IT'S TOO LATE TO GET
A PLANE OUT TONIGHT.

I'LL... I'LL CATCH A FLIGHT
FIRST THING IN THE MORNING.

NOW, YOU TAKE CARE, SUE ELLEN.

YOU HEAR?

I HEAR.

I LOVE YOU, J.R.

TAKE CARE.

I'LL SEE YOU IN THE MORNING.

SAY, WHAT DID DADDY SAY?

OH, HE'S TRULY HAPPY.

EVERYONE'S TRULY HAPPY.

I'LL SEE YOU TOMORROW.

WHOO-EE!

HA HA HA!

HOW 'BOUT THAT NOW?!

Pam: BOBBY?

Bobby: HMM?

I'M SORRY.

ABOUT WHAT, HON?

I KNOW HOW HAPPY
IT WOULD'VE MADE YOU

IF I WERE THE ONE
THAT'S PREGNANT.

I CAN WAIT FOR THAT.

JUST THINKING ABOUT
J.R. AND SUE ELLEN.

AFTER ALL THESE YEARS.

SUE ELLEN'S WANTED
THIS FOR A LONG TIME.

AND J.R.

MAYBE NOW THAT J.R. KNOWS

HE'S GOING TO
HAVE THE FIRST BABY,

WE CAN STOP BEING
IN SUCH COMPETITION

WITH ONE ANOTHER.

HE CAN RELAX AND...
WE CAN BE BROTHERS

INSTEAD OF SPARRING PARTNERS.

MAYBE MY TAKING THE JOB
WORKED OUT ALL THE WAY AROUND

FOR EVERYBODY.

BE FUNNY, WOULDN'T IT?

IT REALLY MEANS A
LOT TO YOU, DOESN'T IT?

YES.

IT DOES.

OH, I DON'T KNOW.

IT MAKES ME FEEL LIKE

I'M REALLY DOING
SOMETHING FOR MYSELF.

IT MAKES ME FEEL GOOD ABOUT ME.

I DON'T KNOW IF I'LL
DO IT FOREVER, BOBBY,

BUT RIGHT NOW, NEXT TO YOU,

IT'S THE MOST IMPORTANT
THING IN MY LIFE.

WELL, THAT'S GOOD ENOUGH FOR ME.

HI.

HI.

DIDN'T EXPECT YOU
TO CALL ME SO EARLY.

WHAT'S UP?

CLIFF... HOW DO
YOU FEEL ABOUT ME?

HA! WHAT A SERIOUS QUESTION

SO EARLY IN THE MORNING.

THE TRUTH, CLIFF.

WELL, I THINK YOU'RE TERRIFIC.

TERRIFIC.

I NEVER THOUGHT OF MYSELF

AS BEING... TERRIFIC.

WELL, YOU SHOULD.

I GUESS THAT'S HOW YOU
ALWAYS MADE ME FEEL.

IT'S A PERFECT WORD
FOR IT... TERRIFIC,

AND I FELT THAT WAY UNTIL
YESTERDAY AFTERNOON,

AND THEN I SUDDENLY
FELT DIFFERENT.

I FELT, UH... SORRY AND ASHAMED.

WHY?

WHAT HAPPENED?

WHAT CHANGED? IS IT J.R.?

IN A WAY.

IN A FUNNY SORT OF WAY.

I'M GONNA HAVE A BABY.

YOU'RE GONNA HAVE A BABY?!

YOU'RE PREGNANT.

VERY.

OH, HA HA. HA HA HA.

WELL, I DON'T SEE
WHAT'S SO FUNNY.

WELL, I JUST THINK
THAT YOU AND J.R.

HAVE BEEN MARRIED FOR 7 YEARS

AND NOT HAD A CHILD.

I'M WITH YOU FOR 6 WEEKS,

AND YOU'RE PREGNANT.

OH, OH.

WELL, I DON'T THINK
THAT'S VERY FUNNY.

AND WHAT MAKES YOU SO DAMN SURE

THAT IT'S YOURS?

LOOK, I'M JUST GOING
ON WHAT YOU TOLD ME

BETWEEN YOU AND J.R.

BUT IT ISN'T IMPOSSIBLE.

J.R. AND I ARE NOT
TOTAL STRANGERS.

WELL, OK! SO
THERE'S A LONG SHOT.

AND WHAT IF IT IS J.R.'s?

I DON'T THINK THAT IT MATTERS.

DON'T YOU?

NO.

BECAUSE NO MATTER WHOSE IT IS,

YOU'RE NOT GOING TO LEAVE J.R.

AND SOUTHFORK AND
ALL THAT MONEY FOR ME.

I MIGHT IF... OH,
COME ON, SUE ELLEN.

WE'VE ALWAYS BEEN
HONEST WITH ONE ANOTHER,

AT LEAST IN OUR FASHION.

AND I'VE ALWAYS KNOWN

THAT NO MATTER WHAT
YOU FELT ABOUT ME...

THAT IT WOULD NEVER

COME DOWN TO REALLY
CHANGING YOUR LIFE.

AND NOW YOU'RE NOT
ONLY GOING TO BE J.R.'s WIFE,

BUT YOU'RE GOING TO BE
THE MOTHER OF THE HEIR

TO THE EWING THRONE.

YOU UNDERSTAND THAT, UH...

THAT IT'S OVER
BETWEEN YOU AND I.

FOR WHATEVER IT'S WORTH...

I REALLY DO CARE ABOUT YOU.

AND I'M TRULY GLAD FOR YOU.

[STARTS ENGINE]

MAMA.

I'M SO HAPPY.

SO AM I.

DAD.

DAMN, I'M PROUD OF
YOU, DAMN PROUD OF YOU.

THANK YOU.

I JUST CAN'T BELIEVE IT!

MY OLDEST BOY FINALLY
GOT HIMSELF A BABY.

HA HA!

WELL, THAT'S ALL I COULD
THINK OF ON THE WAY HOME,

HOW... HOW HAPPY YOU'D BOTH BE.

WE ARE, J.R.

IT'S WONDERFUL FOR ALL OF US.

WELL, WHERE'S EVERYBODY?
WHERE'S SUE ELLEN?

BOBBY AND PAM AREN'T HOME YET,

AND SUE ELLEN HAD
TO GO INTO TOWN

TO SEE THE DOCTOR.

IS SHE ALL RIGHT?

OH, SHE'S FINE, FINE.

BE BACK ANY TIME NOW.

JUST DON'T STAND THERE.

COME ON! I'LL BUY US A DRINK!

ALL RIGHT, SIR.

I'LL GET THIS OLD THING.

NO, NO! HERE. LET
ME HAVE THAT, DADDY.

[BOTH CHATTERING]

Bobby: HI.

OH, HI!

I'M SORRY I'M LATE.

DID YOU SEE J.R.?

[LAUGHING] YES.

I HAVEN'T SEEN HIM THAT EXCITED

SINCE THEY TALKED ABOUT
DEREGULATING NATURAL GAS.

BOBBY, I WANT TO TALK
TO YOU FOR A MINUTE.

THERE'S SOMETHING
I WANT TO TELL YOU.

THERE'S SOMETHING I
WANT TO GIVE YOU FIRST.

OH, BOBBY.

BOBBY!

IT'S... IT'S BEAUTIFUL!

IT'S... IT'S BEAUTIFUL!

UH, WHAT'S IT FOR?

I CAN'T HAVE MY
FAVORITE LADY GO TO PARIS

WITHOUT SOMETHING TO WEAR.

YOU KNOW.

YEP.

DO YOU ALSO KNOW

THAT YOU'RE THE
MOST WONDERFUL...

ABSOLUTELY THE MOST
WONDERFUL HUSBAND

IN THE WORLD?

YEP.

WELL, THERE'S ONE
THING YOU DON'T KNOW.

WELL, I FIND THAT
VERY HARD TO BELIEVE.

THAT I'M GOING TO BE
WEARING THIS DRESS,

BUT IT'S GOING TO
BE AT OUR PARTY.

WHAT?

I'M NOT GOING TO PARIS.

BUT, HONEY...

I TOLD LIZ CRAIG

THAT THIS JOB IS
VERY IMPORTANT TO ME,

BUT NOTHING IN THE WORLD

IS MORE IMPORTANT
THAN YOU AND ME.

HEH.

AND WHAT DID SHE SAY?

WELL, SHE WASN'T VERY HAPPY,

BUT SHE SAID IF SHE
HAD A HUSBAND LIKE YOU,

SHE WOULDN'T GO, EITHER.

WELL, THERE'S A LADY THAT
CAN PICK QUALITY HUSBANDS.

WELL, THIS ONE'S TAKEN.

[POP]

DARLIN'?

THANK YOU.

TO YOU.

AND THE BABY.

THANK YOU, DARLIN'.

NOW, TELL ME,

WHY'D YOU GO TO THE DOCTOR
FOR THE PREGNANCY TEST?

WELL, I DIDN'T EXACTLY.

I WASN'T FEELING TOO WELL

AND I THOUGHT I'D GO IN
AND SEE WHAT WAS WRONG.

AND THAT WAS IT?

YOU'RE ALL RIGHT OTHERWISE?

I'M TERRIFIC.

NOW... NOW, TELL ME EVERYTHING.

HOW FAR ALONG ARE YOU?

ABOUT 6 WEEKS,
NEAR AS WE CAN TELL.

6 WEEKS.

HA HA HA! HOW 'BOUT THAT?

6 WEEKS. THAT WAS RIGHT BEFORE

LUCY'S BIRTHDAY, WASN'T IT?

MM-HMM.

'ROUND THERE.

NOW, YOU SURE IT COULDN'T
BE LONGER THAN 6 WEEKS?

WELL, I DON'T THINK SO.

WHY?

WELL, I... I...

I DON'T SEE HOW YOU
CAN BE 6 WEEKS PREGNANT.

WHY? I DON'T UNDERSTAND.

WELL, I DO.

SEEMS IT'S BEEN LONGER
THAN THAT SINCE YOU AND I

COULD'VE CONCEIVED A CHILD.

AND IF I REMEMBER CORRECTLY,
I WAS DOWN IN AUSTIN

FOR 10 DAYS RIGHT
ABOUT THAT TIME.

YEAH, IT WAS THAT TIME.

I REPEAT, SUE ELLEN, HOW
CAN YOU BE 6 WEEKS PREGNANT?

WELL, I KNOW WE DON'T PRACTICE

OUR CONNUBIAL RIGHTS

WITH ANYTHING
APPROACHING REGULARITY,

BUT YOU DID COME
HOME FROM AUSTIN

FOR THE WEEKEND.

IS IT POSSIBLE THAT
YOU DON'T REMEMBER?

IT HAPPENS SO RARELY,

I THOUGHT IT MIGHT
MAKE AN IMPRESSION.

NO, THERE'S
SOMETHING WRONG HERE.

SOMETHING WRONG.

NOW, EVEN IF I DID REMEMBER,

I THINK IT'S MIGHTY PECULIAR
THAT AFTER 7 YEARS OF TRYING,

YOU SHOULD GET PREGNANT
THAT ONE PARTICULAR NIGHT.

STRANGER THINGS HAVE HAPPENED.

NOT TO ME, THEY HAVEN'T.

ARE YOU TRYING TO TELL ME

THAT YOU MAY NOT BE
THE FATHER OF MY CHILD?

YOU TELL ME.

THERE'S NOTHING TO TELL.

I'VE BEEN JUST AS FAITHFUL

TO OUR MARRIAGE VOWS
AS YOU HAVE, DARLIN'.

THAT'S THE ONLY THING
THAT INTERESTS YOU,

ISN'T IT?

THAT PRECIOUS EWING HEIR.

NO MATTER WHOSE IT IS.

[GASPS]

DON'T YOU EVER DO THAT AGAIN.

I'LL DO ANYTHING I WANT TO.

NOT ANYMORE.

BECAUSE I FINALLY HAVE
SOMETHING YOU WANT...

OUR BABY.

OUR BABY?

CHANCES ARE IT'S YOURS, J.R.

AND IF IT ISN'T,

WHAT ARE YOU
GOING TO DO ABOUT IT?

HOW YOU GONNA TELL DADDY

THAT IT ISN'T YOURS,
IT'S SOMEBODY ELSE'S?

WHAT'S HE GONNA
THINK ABOUT YOU THEN?

AND WHAT ABOUT
THE BOYS AT THE CLUB?

WHAT ARE THEY GONNA SAY?

GUESS YOU'RE JUST
GONNA HAVE TO LEARN

TO LIVE WITH IT.

LIKE I SAID, J.R.,
CHANCES ARE IT'S YOURS.
