Dallas (1978–1991): Season 2, Episode 22 - The Outsiders - full transcript
Unable to rid Cliff Barnes of his power on their own, the Ewings turn to Sam Culver in an attempt to prove the state government that Cliff is abusing his authority in matters concerning Ewing Oil. Sam, a former senator and governor, has a lot of friends that would listen to him... if the Ewings can only get him to speak on their behalf. Unfortunately, JR's involvement in Sam's marriage to a woman much younger than he only further complicates matters, rather than simplifying them.
WE HAVE GOT TO GET
RID OF CLIFF BARNES.
ONLY ONE MAN WITH THAT
MUCH POWER IN THIS STATE...
SAM CULVER.
MARRYING DONNA HERE,
GETTING WHAT YOU MIGHT CALL
A YOUNGER SLANT ON THINGS,
I JUST DON'T JUMP
RIGHT IN LIKE I USED TO.
I'VE COME TO DEPEND VERY
HEAVILY ON HER JUDGEMENT.
HE COULD HELP US A LOT, HONEY,
ESPECIALLY IF HIS
WIFE WANTS HIM TO.
AND WHY WOULD SHE DO THAT?
WELL, I DON'T KNOW,
BUT I'LL FIND OUT.
IT'S GETTING KIND
OF SERIOUS FOR ME.
BEFORE WE GO A
WHOLE LOT FURTHER,
I THINK WE BETTER FIGURE
OUT WHERE WE WANT TO END UP.
CAPTIONING MADE
POSSIBLE BY WARNER BROS.
WELL, YOU JUST TELL
MR. MAINWARING THAT I CALLED.
J.R. EWING. NOW
HOW MANY TIMES...
NOW, JUST... NEVER MIND!
I'LL CALL HIM BACK LATER.
J.R., WHY ARE YOU
CALLING CHRIS MAINWARING?
AFTER WHAT HAPPENED,
HE OBVIOUSLY WANTS
AS LITTLE AS POSSIBLE
TO DO WITH US.
WELL, JUST BECAUSE LUCY
CALLED OFF THE WEDDING TO HIS SON
DOESN'T MEAN WE CAN'T
DO BUSINESS TOGETHER.
IT SEEMS TO ME THE WEDDING
IS THE ONLY REASON
WE'RE DOING BUSINESS.
WELL, DAD, WHATEVER THE REASON,
THE MAN'S IMPORTANT TO
US AND WE CAN STILL USE HIM
AND HIS REFINERY ON THE GULF.
WELL, WE'LL JUST HAVE
TO LOOK ELSEWHERE, J.R.
OH, I COULDN'T AGREE
WITH YOU MORE, DAD,
BUT WE DON'T EXACTLY HAVE
CHOICES FROM A TO Z, THOUGH.
LOSING MAINWARING
WAS A BIG BLOW TO US.
YEAH, I KNOW.
J.R., I'M SURE YOU'RE
GONNA SURVIVE JUST FINE
EVEN WITHOUT MAINWARING OIL.
DON'T TAKE IT OUT ON J.R., LUCY.
YOU CALLED THE WEDDING OFF.
SHE HAD HER REASONS, JOCK.
NOW, IT'S OVER AND DONE WITH.
J.R., I DON'T WANT ANY MORE TALK
ABOUT THE MAINWARINGS.
YES, MOTHER.
SORRY, I DIDN'T MEAN
TO UPSET YOU, DARLING.
HEY, LUCY.
YOU GONNA MOPE
AROUND HERE ALL DAY,
OR ARE YOU GONNA GO TO SCHOOL?
GUESS I'LL GO TO SCHOOL.
GOOD. I'LL DRIVE YOU.
I DON'T HAVE ANYTHING TO DO
FOR A COUPLE OF HOURS.
BOBBY ALWAYS WAS
THE UNDERSTANDING ONE,
WASN'T HE?
YOU GONNA STAND
AROUND WITH A LONG FACE
ALL YOUR LIFE?
I CAN'T QUIT THINKING ABOUT KIT.
AND J.R. DOESN'T
MAKE IT ANY EASIER.
I KNOW, HONEY.
I WISH THERE WAS
SOMETHING I COULD DO
DO TO EASE THE PAIN.
YEAH, SO DO I.
HEY, WHAT IS THIS?
WHERE'D IT COME FROM, BOBBY?
WHAT, THIS? OH, I
THOUGHT THE HOUSE
WAS BUILT AROUND
IT. I DON'T KNOW...
OH, COME ON, BOBBY,
YOU KNOW WHAT IT IS!
TELL ME, WHAT IS IT?
OK, OK, OK, OK, OK.
NOW STAND RIGHT THERE.
NOW TAKE THIS, CLOSE YOUR EYES,
AND GIVE A BIG TUG,
AND YOU MIGHT JUST SEE SOMETHING
YOU'VE BEEN WISHING FOR,
BUT DON'T PEEK, OR
YOU GET NOTHING.
OK.
CAN I LOOK?
SURE.
OH, BOBBY, IT'S BEAUTIFUL!
OH, BOBBY, IT'S BEAUTIFUL!
IS IT FOR ME, REALLY?
BOBBY!
BOBBY, OH, IT'S
BEAUTIFUL. BOBBY, WHY?
WELL, BECAUSE IT'S A REAL PAIN
DRIVING YOU TO SCHOOL EVERY DAY,
AND I REALIZE YOU'RE
MORE THAN MATURE ENOUGH
TO HAVE ONE OF YOUR OWN.
OH, THANK YOU, BOBBY, THANK YOU.
YOU'RE WELCOME, HONEY.
COME ON NOW, YOU
DON'T WANT TO BE LATE
ON YOUR FIRST DAY.
LET ME MOVE THE
FRONT OF THE BOX.
OK?
NOW YOU BE CAREFUL.
MORNING, CONNIE.
MORNING.
MORNING, CONNIE.
ANY CALLS?
UH, YES, SIR.
AND MR. MORGAN JUST
ARRIVED FROM MIDLAND.
HE'S WAITING FOR
YOU IN YOUR OFFICE.
WHO'S MR. MORGAN?
HE'S HANDLING OUR NEW
EXPLORATION OUT THERE.
SOMETHING MUST BE WRONG.
WELL, LET'S GO FIND OUT.
HEY, BUD, HOW ARE YOU DOING?
THIS IS MY DADDY. BUD MORGAN.
MR. EWING.
MORGAN. A PLEASURE.
WHAT BRINGS YOU HERE, MORGAN?
THE OFFICE OF LAND MANAGEMENT.
THEY STOPPED OUR TEST DRILLING.
WELL, NOW HOW IN THE
HECK CAN THEY DO THAT?
NOT "THEY," DADDY. CLIFF BARNES.
WHAT HAPPENED?
SOME COCK AND BULL DELAY
OVER OUR ENVIRONMENTAL
IMPACT REPORT.
WHAT'S THE PROBLEM?
HEH! I DON'T KNOW.
THEY SAY THEY NEED
MORE TIME TO STUDY IT.
AND WE CAN'T DRILL TILL
THEY APPROVE IT, HUH?
THAT'S ABOUT IT.
TSK!
WELL, THEY'VE HAD
THAT REPORT FOR WEEKS.
THEY'RE JUST
DRAGGING THEIR FEET.
CLIFF BARNES KNOW HOW MUCH
EVERY LITTLE DELAY COSTS US.
WHAT DO YOU WANT ME TO DO?
WELL, GET BACK TO MIDLAND.
LET THE CREW GO, AND THEN HANG
AROUND UNTIL YOU HEAR FROM ME.
THAT'S A GOOD CREW, MR. EWING.
THEY'LL BE HARD TO REPLACE.
I KNOW IT.
SO DOES BARNES, J.R.
GO AHEAD, LET THEM GO.
YES, SIR.
MR. EWING.
MORGAN.
HMPH!
WE HAVE GOT TO GET
RID OF CLIFF BARNES.
SURE WE DO.
BUT HOW?
THERE'S GOTTA BE A WAY.
WE'VE GOTTA GET THE
POWER AWAY FROM THE O.L.M.
THE COURT'S NOT GONNA HELP US.
THE STATE CREATED THAT OFFICE,
AND THEY'RE STILL BEHIND IT.
WHO DO WE KNOW WITH ENOUGH CLOUT
TO MAKE THEM CHANGE
THEIR MIND ABOUT IT?
ONLY ONE MAN WITH THAT
MUCH POWER IN THIS STATE...
SAM CULVER.
SAM CULVER.
YES, SIR, THAT'S OUR MAN.
EX-GOVERNOR,
EX-SPEAKER OF THE HOUSE,
STILL IN CONTROL OF THE PARTY.
YEAH, THEY'LL ALL LISTEN TO HIM.
I THINK I'LL GIVE
HIM A LITTLE RING.
BETTER LET ME DO THAT,
J.R. SAM AND I GO WAY BACK.
AS A MATTER OF FACT, HE, UH,
STILL OWES ME A
COUPLE OF FAVORS.
GET SAM CULVER ON
THE PHONE, WOULD YOU?
TELL HIM JOCK EWING
WANTS TO TALK TO HIM.
HOWDY.
MORNING, BOBBY.
DID I SEE LUCY
PULLING OUT OF HERE
IN A NEW CAR THIS MORNING?
YES, SHE DID. WAS
SHE DOING UNDER 100?
HEH! LOOKED MORE LIKE 20 TO ME,
LIKE SHE WAS TRYING TO
AVOID EVERY BUMP IN THE ROAD.
HERE'S THOSE STOCK
LEDGERS YOU WANTED.
OH, THANKS A LOT.
FEEL KIND OF SORRY FOR LUCY.
SHE REALLY CARED FOR THAT KID.
YEAH, I KNOW.
OH, SHE'LL GET OVER IT.
I JUST HOPE THE CAR HELPS SOME.
WELL, NOW, I DIDN'T SEE
YOU BUYING ME ANYTHING
WHEN I HAD MY LITTLE
RUN IN WITH GARNET.
WELL, NOW, WE CAN
STILL TALK ABOUT
BUILDING THAT HOUSE OF YOURS.
YEAH. I GUESS I'M ABOUT THROUGH
FEELING SORRY FOR MYSELF,
BUT I DON'T KNOW IF I'M
READY FOR ANY HOUSE, YET.
WELL, WHATEVER.
IT'S NICE TO HAVE YOU
BACK AMONG THE LIVING.
SEE YOU.
OK.
WALLY, GET THE CHECK.
I'VE HAD IT WITH THIS PLACE.
WELL, NOW, HONEY, I
THINK IT'S BEEN KIND OF FUN.
OH, IT WAS, BUT I'M WITH HER.
HEY, LET'S ALL GO
DO A LITTLE DISCO.
ANYTHING BUT THAT.
FEEL LIKE A FOOL
DANCING THAT WAY.
WELL, THEN YOU CAN
SIT BACK AND WATCH.
COME ON.
COME ON, WE'LL THINK
OF SOMETHING ELSE.
LOOK, Y'ALL GO ON.
I'M GONNA STAY HERE AND
LISTEN TO SOME MORE OF THIS.
I KIND OF LIKE IT.
YOU'RE KIDDING.
NO!
LOOK, I'LL BE ALL RIGHT.
I'LL CATCH A CAB.
IF THAT'S WHAT YOU WANT.
COME ON, LET'S GO.
HEY, LITTLE LADY, WE CAN'T
LEAVE YOU HERE ALL ALONE.
SURE, YOU CAN.
NOW, LOOK, DONNA,
YOU CAME WITH US,
AND YOU'RE LEAVING
WITH US. COME ON.
LOOK, I'LL BE ALL RIGHT.
NOW, COME ON.
WALLY, PLEASE, DON'T DO THAT!
I TOLD YOU I WOULD BE FINE.
GET YOUR COAT.
EXCUSE ME HERE, FRIEND.
STAY OUT OF THIS, WILL
YOU? NOW GET YOUR COAT.
WELL, NOT TO BE OF ANY OFFENSE,
IT JUST SEEMS LIKE THE
LADY WANTS TO STAY.
IT'S NONE OF YOUR BUSINESS.
WELL, I APPRECIATE THAT.
I JUST WANTED YOU TO KNOW
THIS IS A RESPECTABLE PLACE.
LADY'D BE ALL RIGHT HERE.
IT MIGHT JUST SAVE AN ARGUMENT
IF YOU LET HER BE.
THAT'S A GOOD POINT.
I'LL BE FINE.
YOU SURE? YES.
ALL RIGHT.
SALLY'LL CALL YOU TOMORROW.
OK. OK.
GOOD NIGHT.
MA'AM.
EXCUSE ME.
YES, MA'AM?
LOOK, I JUST WANT
TO SAY THANK YOU.
WELL, NO PROBLEM.
I JUST FIGURED
I'D BETTER STOP IT
BEFORE IT GOT TOO FAR.
WHAT DO YOU MEAN?
WELL, I SAW A COUPLE
OF THE BOYS DOWN THERE
LOOKING A LITTLE
EDGY AT YOUR FRIEND.
BETTER TO TALK HIM OUT
OF IT THEN CARRY HIM OUT.
OH! I THOUGHT YOU SAID
THAT THIS WAS A
RESPECTABLE PLACE.
YES, MA'AM. I WANT
TO KEEP IT THAT WAY.
WELL, UH... THANKS
AGAIN, MISTER...
RAY, RAY KREBBS.
RAY, IT WAS NICE MEETING YOU.
EXCUSE ME.
WELL, DON'T RUN OFF NOW.
COULD YOU DO WITH ANOTHER DRINK?
WHY NOT?
THERE'S A SEAT RIGHT HERE.
THANK YOU.
HARRY.
I DON'T KNOW.
I THOUGHT ABOUT MOVING
ON A COUPLE OF TIMES.
THE RANCH IS SORT
OF SPECIAL TO ME.
I SORT OF FEEL
LIKE I BELONG THERE.
DO YOU REALLY ENJOY
WORKING FOR SOMEBODY ELSE?
OH, IT'S MORE THAN THAT.
SEE, I GOT A SECTION
OF MY OWN OUT THERE.
I FIGURE ONE OF THESE DAYS,
I'M GONNA BUILD MYSELF A HOUSE,
RUN A FEW CATTLE, MAYBE A
FEW GOOD QUARTER HORSES.
WHY HAVEN'T YOU
DONE IT BEFORE NOW?
ALMOST DID. THEN, UH... WELL,
IT JUST DIDN'T WORK
OUT AT THE TIME.
WHO CALLED FOR THE CAB?
I DID.
I'LL BE RIGHT WITH YOU.
WELL, UH, RAY, I
WANT YOU TO KNOW
THAT I HAVE REALLY ENJOYED THIS.
YOU KNOW, I CAN DRIVE YOU HOME.
I KNOW.
MAYBE SOME OTHER TIME.
YOU JUST SAY WHEN AND WHERE.
UH, WELL, YOU THINK
YOU MIGHT BE HERE
TOMORROW NIGHT?
DAMN SURE COULD BE.
MAYBE THEN.
MIGHT HAVE KNOWN THAT
OLD GOAT WOULD BE LATE.
YEAH, WHY'S THAT?
WELL, WHEN I CALLED HIM
YESTERDAY AFTER ALL THIS TIME,
HE KNOWS I WANT SOMETHING.
JUST HIS WAY OF MAKING ME
SWEAT A LITTLE, THAT'S ALL.
WELL, IF HE SHOWS
UP, IT'LL BE WORTH IT.
HEY, THERE HE IS NOW
MAKING HIS ENTRANCE.
WELL, HELLO, JOCK.
GLAD TO SEE YOU, SAM.
YOU OLD BUZZARD.
YOU KNOW MY BOY J.R.
A PLEASURE. J.R.
SIT DOWN, SAM.
WELL, THEY TELL ME YOU'RE
RUNNING EWING OIL NOW, HUH?
WELL, HE'S DOING A
HELL OF A FINE JOB, TOO.
BOURBON AND BRANCH, HUH?
SAME OLD DRINK, HUH?
YEAH, SOME THINGS
NEVER CHANGE, JOCK.
LIKE THE EWINGS
AND THE BARNESES.
I UNDERSTAND DIGGER'S BOY
IS GIVING YOU A
LITTLE TROUBLE LATELY.
THAT COULDN'T BE THE REASON
FOR OUR LUNCH, COULD IT?
WELL, AS LONG AS
WE'RE DOWN TO IT, SAM,
THAT'S THE REASON.
HE'S USING HIS POSITION
AS THE HEAD OF O.L.M.
TO GET BACK AT EWING OIL.
WELL, THAT'S MORE THAN HIS
DADDY COULD EVER DO TO YOU.
NOT SAYING DIGGER REALLY HAD
ANY CAUSE TO HATE YOU SO, JOCK.
I GUESS YOU DID ABOUT AS
FAIR AS YOU COULD BY HIM, HUH?
ABOUT THE SAME
AS YOU WOULD, SAM.
MAYBE SO.
OF COURSE, I COULD'VE DONE IT
WITHOUT MAKING AN ENEMY OF HIM.
HEH HEH!
NOW THAT'S WHY YOU'RE THE
MOST SUCCESSFUL POLITICIAN
IN THE STATE, SAM.
HEH HEH! EX-POLITICIAN.
I HAVEN'T HELD OFFICE IN YEARS.
DON'T KNOW WHAT'S
GOING ON ANYMORE.
OH, THAT'S NOT THE
WAY I UNDERSTAND IT.
I HEAR NOBODY GOES TO
THE JOHN WITHOUT YOUR OK.
YOU LEADING TO SOMETHING?
YES, SIR.
THE O.L.M. IS SMOTHERING
THE INDEPENDENT OIL MAN.
THEY'RE LIABLE
TO RUN A LOT OF US
OUT OF BUSINESS IF
THEY KEEP THE POWER.
WELL, THERE ARE SOME WHO SAY
THEY'RE DOING A PRETTY GOOD
JOB OF KEEPING Y'ALL IN LINE.
NOT THESE DAYS, SIR.
UNLESS, OF COURSE,
YOU LIKE US BUYING
ALL OUR OIL FROM THE ARABS.
WELL, YOU'RE PRETTY DIRECT, BOY.
YES, SIR, I AM.
WELL, THERE'S NOTHING
WRONG WITH THAT.
I GUESS US OLD TIMERS
DO SPEND TOO MUCH TIME
THROWING THE BULL, HUH?
SAM, YOU THINK ON WHAT HE SAYS.
WE NEED YOUR HELP TO
GET SOME NEW LAWS PASSED,
PUT THE REINS ON THE O.L.M.
WELL, WE'LL SEE.
HOW'S ELLIE, JOCK?
SAME STICK OF FIRE
SHE ALWAYS WAS?
OH, SHE'S MELLOWED
SOME, BUT STILL ALL WOMAN.
I, UH, UNDERSTAND
THAT YOU GOT MARRIED
A COUPLE YEARS BACK.
TO A LOVELY LADY
MUCH TOO GOOD FOR ME.
MATTER OF FACT, SHE'S
GONNA MEET ME HERE.
WANTS TO TAKE ME SHOPPING,
BUY ME SOME NEW CLOTHES.
OH? UH, SAM, WHY
DON'T YOU BRING HER
OUT TO SOUTHFORK FOR
DINNER SATURDAY NIGHT
AND SEE MISS ELLIE?
I'M GONNA SHOW THESE YOUNG KIDS
HOW WE CAN REALLY
THROW THE BULL, HUH?
WELL, NOW, I JUST MIGHT DO THAT.
LOVE TO SEE ELLIE AGAIN.
GOOD.
AH, HERE'S MY LADY NOW!
DARLING.
MY WIFE DONNA.
THIS IS JOCK AND J.R. EWING.
DONNA.
HOW DO YOU DO?
THEY WANT US TO COME
TO DINNER SATURDAY NIGHT.
WHAT DO YOU THINK?
UH, WELL, I THINK
THAT WOULD BE LOVELY.
YOU SEEM MIGHTY HAPPY
WITH YOURSELF TONIGHT, J.R.
YOU MANAGE TO EVICT
SOME WIDOWS TODAY?
YOU KEEP DRINKING LIKE THAT,
AND YOU'RE GONNA BE EVICTED
ONTO A TRASH HEAP, DEAR.
HEH HEH! AM I EMBARRASSING YOU?
WELL, I MANAGED TO SNEAK IN
HERE WHERE NO ONE CAN SEE ME.
WELL, THEY MAY NOT
BE ABLE TO SEE YOU,
BUT THEY KNOW YOU'RE HERE.
SMELLS LIKE A BREWERY.
IF I OFFEND YOU, MY DARLING,
YOU HAVE MY PERMISSION
TO SEEK COMFORT ELSEWHERE.
WELL, NOT EVEN YOU CAN
UPSET ME TONIGHT, DARLING.
AS A MATTER OF FACT, I
HAVE SOME INFORMATION
THAT MIGHT BE OF
INTEREST TO YOU.
YEAH, I CAN HARDLY WAIT.
I THINK I FINALLY MET THE MAN
WHO CAN PUT A STOP TO
YOUR FRIEND CLIFF BARNES
ONCE AND FOR ALL.
WELL, ABOUT TIME FOR DINNER.
I DON'T SUPPOSE
YOU'RE WELL ENOUGH
TO MEET WITH THE FAMILY.
DO ME ONE FAVOR THOUGH...
TRY NOT TO MAKE ANY NOISE
IF YOU PASS OUT IN HERE.
HI.
HI.
DIDN'T THINK YOU WERE COMING.
WELL, UH... I ALMOST DIDN'T.
HERE, HAVE A CHAIR.
THANKS.
DRINK?
DO THEY HAVE WINE HERE?
OH, YOU BET.
IMPORTED ALL THE
WAY FROM CALIFORNIA.
WELL, NOW THAT IS
WHAT I CALL RESPECTABLE.
HONEY, CAN I HAVE ANOTHER
BEER AND A GLASS OF...
WHITE.
WHITE WINE FOR THE LADY.
YES, SIR.
THANK YOU.
WELL, HERE'S TO THAT
IMPORTED CALIFORNIA WINE
AND A VERY MYSTERIOUS LADY.
MYSTERIOUS? WHY?
WELL, I REALIZED I
SAT AROUND HERE
TALKING ABOUT MYSELF LAST NIGHT.
I DON'T KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT YOU.
OH.
WELL, THERE'S NOT A
LOT TO TELL, REALLY.
MY NAME IS DONNA. I'M 28.
I WAS BORN IN MARSHALL, TEXAS.
MARSHALL!
YOU KNOW, THAT LITTLE
PLACE CLOSE TO SHREVEPORT?
SURE, SURE.
AND YOU KNOW, I
REALLY DON'T KNOW
WHAT I'M DOING HERE WITH YOU.
WELL, MAYBE IT'S JUST MY
RUGGED WESTERN CHARM, HUH?
HA HA HA!
NO, NO I DON'T THINK
THAT'S WHAT IT IS.
NO. UM... I THINK
IT'S THE FACT THAT...
THAT YOU DIDN'T TRY
AND HIT ON ME LAST NIGHT.
WELL, I WASN'T LOOKING FOR THAT.
I DIDN'T THINK YOU WERE, EITHER.
WELL... TELL ME, WHAT
ARE YOU LOOKING FOR?
I DON'T KNOW.
NOTHING COMPLICATED.
MAYBE JUST A HAPPY ENDING.
YOU AND EVERYBODY ELSE.
YEAH.
WHY DO YOU THINK
THAT IT'S SO DIFFICULT
FOR PEOPLE TO
HAVE A HAPPY ENDING?
WELL, IT COULD BE THE
ENDING DEPENDS ON THE START.
BEGINNING WITH SOMEBODY
THAT YOU COULD
END UP HAPPY WITH.
WELL, THAT WOULD BE TERRIFIC.
I MEAN, YOU KNOW, IF THINGS
DIDN'T CHANGE... BUT THEY DO.
I MEAN, THEY ALWAYS DO.
THANK YOU.
MM-HMM.
WE SURE ARE GETTING SERIOUS HERE
ALL OF A SUDDEN.
OH, I DON'T WANT TO GET SERIOUS.
NO, UM... TO FUN.
YEAH, I COULD USE A LOT OF THAT.
TO FUN.
I CAN'T EVEN THINK
OF THE LAST TIME
I SAW SAM CULVER.
WELL, LET'S SEE. IT HAS TO BE...
IT HAS TO BE 10 YEARS OR MORE,
WHAT WITH SAM SPENDING
MOST OF HIS TIME DOWN IN AUSTIN.
IS HIS WIFE PRETTY?
SHE'S AWFUL YOUNG
IS WHAT SHE IS.
CAN YOU IMAGINE AN
OLD GOAT LIKE THAT
BEING MARRIED TO
A GIRL BOBBY'S AGE?
SHE TOLD ME SHE WENT
TO SCHOOL WITH BOBBY
OVER AT THE UNIVERSITY.
YOU'RE SURE YOU'RE NOT
JUST A LITTLE BIT
JEALOUS OF HIM?
A YOUNG GIRL LIKE THAT...
JUST COULDN'T HOLD A CANDLE
TO A REAL WOMAN LIKE YOU,
MISS ELLIE.
YOU REALLY MEAN THAT, DON'T YOU?
NEVER SAW ONE THAT COULD
SINCE THE DAY WE GOT MARRIED.
JOCK.
HEY, COME ON NOW, DADDY.
YOU TOLD ME NOT TO GET ROMANTIC
BEFORE NOON ON SATURDAY.
YOU LET HIM ALONE, BOBBY.
HE'S DOING JUST FINE.
THE REST OF YOU
COULD TAKE SOME
LESSONS FROM HIM.
MM, I BET THEY COULD.
I HOPE WE FEEL LIKE YOU DO
WHEN WE'VE BEEN MARRIED AS LONG.
HEY, YOU GOT TIME FOR BREAKFAST?
I CAN'T, WE HAVE TO
BE AT THE CLUB BY 10:00.
HAVE TO GO.
BYE-BYE.
MORNING, MISS ELLIE, JOCK.
SUE ELLEN.
GOOD MORNING, SUE ELLEN.
YOU FEELING BETTER?
SOME.
WELL, HOW ABOUT SOME BREAKFAST?
UH... NO.
NO, THIS TOMATO JUICE
IS JUST FINE, THANK YOU.
OH.
MORNING, RAY. HOW YOU DOING?
MORNING, BOBBY.
HI. PAM.
JOCK STILL HAVING BREAKFAST?
YEAH, HE, MAMA AND SUE ELLEN.
WELL, I WON'T BOTHER HIM THEN.
IS THERE SOMETHING
I CAN HELP YOU WITH?
WELL, I WAS GONNA TALK
TO HIM ABOUT SOME CATTLE.
I THOUGHT I MIGHT
STOCK MY SECTION SOME.
WELL, IT'S ABOUT TIME.
YEAH, THINGS ARE LOOKING UP.
OH?
WELL, THERE'S THIS LADY.
I JUST SORT OF MET HER,
NOTHING SERIOUS OR ANYTHING YET.
WELL, RAY, THAT'S GREAT.
WHEN ARE WE GONNA MEET HER?
WELL, LIKE I SAID, I
JUST MET HER MYSELF.
COME ON.
MONDAY NIGHT I'M GONNA SEE
HER OVER AT THE LONGHORN.
WHY DON'T YOU COME
ON BY AROUND 9:00?
LET YOU BUY US A DRINK.
ALL RIGHT, WE'LL DO
IT. WE'LL SEE YOU THEN.
GREAT. HAVE A GOOD ONE.
BYE!
THEY JUST ELECTED ME
JUSTICE OF THE PEACE
ABOUT A WEEK BEFORE,
AND HERE THEY COME
PULLING DIGGER BARNES
AND JOCK UP IN FRONT OF ME.
IT SEEMS THEY JUST HIT ONE.
DIGGER COME INTO TOWN
TO DRINK THE BAR DRY,
BUYING FOR EVERYBODY.
IN COME OLD JOCK, GRABBED
HIM BY THE SCUFF OF THE NECK
AND HAULED HIM OUT.
WELL, THAT DIDN'T SET TOO GOOD
WITH THE BOYS HE WAS
BUYING THE DRINKS FOR.
SO THERE ENSUED ONE
OF THE FINEST BRAWLS
EVER TO TAKE PLACE
WEST OF THE MISSISSIPPI.
GAVE 'EM BOTH A
WEEK IN THE POKEY.
REMEMBER THAT, JOCK?
YEAH, I SURE DO, SAM.
BARNES AND I WERE A HECK
OF A PAIR BACK IN THOSE DAYS.
NOW WE'VE GOT THAT BOY
OF HIS ALL OVER OUR BACK.
DONNA, I REMEMBER
YOU IN MY JUNIOR YEAR,
AND THEN YOU JUST DISAPPEARED.
WHAT HAPPENED?
WELL, THAT WAS ABOUT THE TIME
THAT MY PARENTS WERE
KILLED IN AN ACCIDENT.
AND I JUST DROPPED OUT OF
SCHOOL AND WENT TO WORK.
WELL, DID YOU EVER THINK ABOUT
GOING BACK AND FINISHING?
OH, I DID FOR A WHILE.
THEN I DROPPED
OUT AGAIN, MET SAM,
WHICH WAS PROBABLY
THE NICEST THING
THAT EVER HAPPENED TO ME.
HE'S A HECK OF A MAN.
YEAH, HE IS.
IN A LOT OF WAYS.
EXCUSE ME.
I WAS WONDERING IF
YOU GAVE ANY THOUGHT
TO THOSE CONVERSATIONS WE
HAD THE OTHER DAY AT LUNCH?
NOW, J.R., WE DIDN'T
INVITE SAM HERE
TO TALK ABOUT BUSINESS.
WELL, MAYBE YOU DIDN'T, ELLIE,
BUT MAYBE IT'S AS GOOD
A TIME NOW AS EVER
TO TALK ABOUT IT.
YOU KNOW, A WHILE BACK,
I'D HAVE SAID YES
OR NO RIGHT NOW.
MARRYING DONNA HERE,
GETTING WHAT YOU MIGHT CALL
A YOUNGER SLANT ON THINGS,
I JUST DON'T JUMP
RIGHT IN LIKE I USED TO.
I FOUND OUT SHE'S GOT
A BETTER POINT
OF VIEW THAN I HAVE
ON WHAT'S GOING ON NOWADAYS.
WELL, I RESPECT
THAT, SIR. I REALLY DO.
AS A MATTER OF FACT,
I ADMIRE YOUR ABILITY TO
CONSIDER ALL POINTS OF VIEW.
IT JUST OCCURRED TO ME
THAT SHE MAY NOT BE AS
WELL-VERSED AS YOU ARE
IN THE FINER ASPECTS OF THE
INDEPENDENT OIL BUSINESS.
WELL, MAYBE NOT,
BUT SHE DOES KNOW
ECOLOGY, RESOURCES.
I'VE COME TO DEPEND
VERY HEAVILY ON HER JUDGMENT.
YOU KNOW YOU'RE YOUR OWN MAN.
YEAH. BE THAT AS IT MAY,
IT HELPS A MAN TO HAVE SOMEBODY
HE CAN TRUST TO
DISCUSS THINGS WITH,
GET THE OTHER POINT OF VIEW.
ONE OF THE REASONS WHY
I TREASURE YOU, MY DEAR.
I TAKE IT YOU DON'T HAVE
AN ANSWER FOR US YET.
WELL, LET'S JUST SAY I'M
STILL SITTING ON THE FENCE,
WAITING FOR THE WIND TO
BLOW ME ONE WAY OR THE OTHER.
NOW, THAT'S ABSOLUTELY
THE LAST WORD
OF BUSINESS I WANT TO HEAR.
I HAVEN'T HAD A CHANCE
TO TALK DONNA ALL NIGHT.
I THINK I'VE FOUND OUT
ENOUGH LIVING WITH JOCK
TO BE ABLE TO GIVE HER
A FEW TIPS ABOUT YOU, SAM.
WELL, NOW, NOTHING
SHE CAN USE AGAINST ME.
PLANNING ON GOING TO BED?
SOON.
I WANT TO COMPLIMENT YOU
ON THE WAY YOU HANDLED
YOURSELF THIS EVENING.
DO YOU NOW?
YUP. YOU HARDLY
SAID A WORD, WHICH,
UNDER THE CIRCUMSTANCES,
WAS PROBABLY THE BEST
THING YOU COULD'VE DONE.
WELL, I WAS TOO BUSY
WATCHING AND THINKING.
ABOUT YOUR NEXT DRINK?
ABOUT THAT GIRL WHO'S
MARRIED TO A MAN JOCK'S AGE
AND HAS A MUCH BETTER
MARRIAGE THAN I DO.
WELL, WE MAY NOT HAVE
BEEN FREQUENT, SUE ELLEN,
BUT I CAN GUARANTEE YOU
THAT GIRL BETTER HAVE
A FRIEND SOMEPLACE ELSE
BECAUSE SHE CAN'T
BE HAPPY AT HOME.
IF THEY NEVER MADE LOVE, J.R.,
SHE HAS MUCH MORE THAN I HAVE.
OH? WHAT WOULD THAT BE?
HE CARES ABOUT HER.
HE TAKES HER ADVICE
AND HE LISTENS TO HER.
OH, YEAH, YEAH. WELL,
TO HEAR HIM TELL IT,
SHE PICKS THE CLOTHES
HE'S GONNA WEAR,
THE CAR HE'S GONNA DRIVE,
PRACTICALLY CUTS
HIS MEAT FOR HIM.
AND WHAT'S SO BAD ABOUT THAT?
OH, NOTHING, NOTHING.
I THINK IT'S WONDERFUL.
THE MORE HE RELIES ON
HER AND LISTENS TO HER,
THE MORE HE'S LIABLE TO
DO WHAT SHE ASKS HIM TO.
THIS WOULDN'T HAVE
ANYTHING TO DO WITH CLIFF
AND THE O.L.M., WOULD IT?
SAM CULVER'S A VERY, VERY
IMPORTANT AND POWERFUL MAN.
HE COULD HELP US A LOT, HONEY,
ESPECIALLY IF HIS
WIFE WANTS HIM TO.
AND WHY WOULD SHE DO THAT?
I DON'T KNOW, OR RATHER
I DON'T KNOW JUST YET.
BUT I'LL FIND OUT.
YOU CAN BET ON IT.
HA HA. YEAH.
GOING TO THE TRACK
MEET ON WEDNESDAY?
I DON'T THINK SO.
OH, COME ON. IT'LL BE FUN.
TOMMY CARTER'S HAVING
A PARTY AFTERWARDS.
I DON'T FEEL LIKE IT.
YOU HAVEN'T FELT LIKE
MUCH OF ANYTHING LATELY.
I KNOW.
SO YOU AND KIT BUSTED UP.
YOU CAN'T STAY HUNG UP FOREVER.
YOU'RE KIND OF A
DOWNER TO BE AROUND.
MEN JUST AREN'T WORTH IT.
THERE ARE MILLIONS OF 'EM.
THERE WILL BE A LOT OF CUTE GUYS
AT TOMMY'S.
LOOK, YOU GUYS, I
JUST DON'T FEEL LIKE IT,
ALL RIGHT?
WHAT IF I COULD
MAKE YOU FEEL LIKE IT?
OH, I WISH.
I CAN.
HERE... TAKE ONE OF THESE.
GUARANTEED TO IMPROVE.
I DON'T KNOW.
THERE'S NOTHING TO IT.
I STARTED TAKING
THEM TO LOSE WEIGHT.
IT'LL REALLY MAKE
YOU FEEL BETTER.
YOU GONNA BE CHICKEN?
THEY'RE PRACTICALLY SOLD
WITHOUT A PRESCRIPTION.
THEY'RE REAL MILD. THEY
JUST CHEER YOU UP A BIT.
WELL, I SURE COULD
USE SOME CHEERING UP.
YAY! YAY!
THE WORST IS OVER. YOU TOOK IT.
WAIT AND SEE,
YOU ARE GONNA FEEL A LOT BETTER.
RAY HASN'T SAID ANY
MORE ABOUT THIS LADY?
NOT A THING.
AS A MATTER OF FACT,
I DON'T THINK HE'S TOO
HAPPY HE INVITED US HERE.
OH, WHY?
I DON'T KNOW.
I THINK HE'S JUST SUPERSTITIOUS.
HE'S AFRAID IF HE TALKS ABOUT IT
THAT SOMETHING WILL
GO WRONG, THAT'S ALL.
OH, THERE HE IS.
OH, MY GOD. BOBBY...
HONEY, COME ON.
LET'S GET OUT OF HERE
BEFORE HE SEES US.
WHY WOULD HE ASK
US HERE TO MEET HER?
I DON'T KNOW.
HE DOESN'T KNOW
WHO SHE IS, THAT'S ALL.
WELL, HOW COULDN'T HE?
WELL, DARLING, I DON'T KNOW,
BUT I'M SURE HE DOESN'T.
DONNA, OF COURSE PAMELA KNOWS.
WHAT KIND OF QUESTION IS THAT?
ALL RIGHT, FINE.
YEAH, I'LL MEET YOU THERE, UM...
- 00.
OK. GOOD-BYE.
I'M NOT VERY GOOD AT LYING.
I THINK SHE KNOWS IT
WASN'T FOR OLD TIMES' SAKE.
WELL, SHE COULDN'T THINK
IT WAS ABOUT HER AND RAY.
SHE PROBABLY THINKS
IT'S ABOUT CLIFF AND O.L.M.
I DON'T KNOW,
HONEY. I DON'T KNOW.
WHOOPS, TAKE IT EASY, DARLING.
WE DON'T WANT YOU HAVING
AN ACCIDENT NOW, DO WE?
YOU'RE IN FINE HUMOR
TODAY AREN'T YOU, J.R.?
OH, SOME DAYS JUST START OFF
BETTER THAN OTHERS, I GUESS.
YOU READY FOR YOUR DAUGHTERS OF
THE ALAMO MEETING?
I AM, THOUGH THEY WON'T
BE HERE TILL ABOUT 3:00.
ALL RIGHT, ENJOY YOURSELF.
THANK YOU, DARLING.
THAT WAS A WONDERFUL
TALK, MR. MARTIN.
IT MOVED US ALL DEEPLY.
AND YOU CAN BE SURE
THAT OUR ORGANIZATION'S
GONNA HELP YOU WITH
YOUR HOSPITAL PROJECT.
WELL, WHAT SUE ELLEN MEANS
IS YOUR RESEARCH PROJECT.
OH, THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT I MEANT.
OF COURSE, HOW SILLY OF ME.
COULD I HAVE A WORD
WITH YOU, MISS ELLIE?
CERTAINLY, MARILEE.
WE'VE BEEN NOTICING
FOR SOME TIME, MISS ELLIE,
THAT SUE ELLEN... WELL, THAT
SHE HASN'T BEEN FEELING HERSELF.
PREGNANCY IS DIFFICULT
FOR SOME WOMEN.
WE THOUGHT MAYBE...
YOU WANT SUE ELLEN TO RESIGN
AS PRESIDENT OF THE D.O.A.
JUST TEMPORARILY, MISS ELLIE.
WE'LL APPOINT AN
INTERIM PRESIDENT
UNTIL SHE'S FEELING BETTER.
YOU DO UNDERSTAND?
I'LL SEE TO IT.
THANK YOU, MISS ELLIE.
WE JUST THINK IT WOULD BE KINDER
COMING FROM YOU.
WE'D BE GRATEFUL IF YOU
COULD TAKE CARE OF IT SOON.
ALL RIGHT.
WHAT A DELIGHTFUL
AFTERNOON, MISS ELLIE.
DON'T YOU THINK MR. MARTIN'S
A CHARMING SPEAKER?
VERY CHARMING.
HI.
HI.
HAVE A SEAT.
THANK YOU.
I WAS, UH, SURPRISED
TO HEAR FROM YOU.
TO TELL YOU THE TRUTH,
I DIDN'T WANNA CALL YOU
IN THE FIRST PLACE.
I FELT I HAD TO.
WELL, YOU SAID YOU
WANTED TO TALK. LET'S TALK.
LOOK, UH, BOBBY, WHATEVER IT IS,
YOU CAN SAY IT.
WHY ARE YOU SEEING RAY KREBBS?
IT CERTAINLY DIDN'T TAKE LONG
FOR YOU TO FIND
THAT OUT, NOW, DID IT?
HOW LONG DO YOU THINK IT'S
GONNA TAKE SAM TO FIND OUT?
WELL, DO YOU REALLY
CARE ABOUT SAM?
RAY IS A FRIEND OF MINE.
I KNOW HE DOESN'T
KNOW WHO YOU ARE.
DOES HE EVEN KNOW
YOU'RE MARRIED?
NO, UH, I DON'T THINK SO.
LOOK, YOU KNOW THAT THIS
ISN'T ANY OF YOUR BUSINESS.
DID RAY TELL YOU ABOUT A
GIRL NAMED GARNET McGEE?
NOT HER NAME, BUT, UH,
I KNEW THERE HAD BEEN SOMEBODY.
WELL, SHE DAMN NEAR
BROKE HIM IN HALF...
AND RAY DOES NOT DESERVE
TO BE TREATED LIKE THAT AGAIN.
HE'S A GOOD MAN.
I AM NOT TRYING TO HURT RAY.
I DIDN'T EVEN PLAN
TO START SEEING HIM.
BOBBY, IN ALL THE TIME
THAT SAM AND I HAVE BEEN
TOGETHER, I HAVE NEVER...
THEN WHY RAY?
WHY PAM?
I MEAN, I DON'T KNOW!
ALL I KNOW IS THAT
I CARE FOR HIM.
THEN YOU BETTER
MAKE UP YOUR MIND
WHAT YOU'RE GONNA DO ABOUT IT,
'CAUSE, DONNA, YOU
CAN'T HAVE IT BOTH WAYS.
SAM CULVER IS PROBABLY
THE BEST MAN THAT I KNOW.
WHEN WE FIRST MET, UH,
SAM HAD JUST LOST HIS WIFE...
AND OF COURSE MY
PARENTS WERE GONE.
COMPARED TO MOST
OF THE MEN THAT I KNEW,
WELL, BOY, SAM
CULVER WAS A GIANT.
I WAS SO PROUD THAT HE
ASKED ME WHAT I THOUGHT...
AND HE ACTUALLY
LISTENED WHEN I TOLD HIM.
I... I WASN'T IN LOVE WITH
HIM WHEN WE MARRIED.
I MEAN, I WAS, BUT...
NOT THE WAY THAT
I SHOULD'VE BEEN.
BUT I NEVER SHORTCHANGED HIM.
NOT UNTIL NOW...
AND I KNOW THAT
IN ALL OF THIS MESS,
SOMEBODY IS GONNA GET HURT.
NAMELY, SAM, RAY, AND ME...
BUT I JUST DON'T KNOW
WHAT TO DO ABOUT IT.
NOW, IF YOU CAN TELL ME...
WELL... I'D LIKE TO HEAR IT.
I MEAN, UH... I'D
REALLY LIKE TO HEAR.
WELL, HI, LADIES!
Marilee: HI, J.R.
HOW'D THE MEETING GO?
JUST FINE, J.R.
HEY, DARLIN'. YOU ALL RIGHT?
I'M FINE.
SHE'S HAD A VERY HARD DAY, J.R.
THESE MEETINGS
TAKE A LOT OUT OF HER.
MAYBE SHE SHOULDN'T
HAVE SO MANY MEETINGS.
SHE AND I HAVE TALKED ABOUT IT,
AND SHE'S HOPING THAT
THE LADIES WILL LET HER RESIGN.
I... I HOPE YOU DON'T MIND
MY BRINGING IT UP, SUE ELLEN.
I KNOW HOW RELUCTANT
YOU WERE TO MENTION IT.
WELL... THAT WOULD BE AN
ENORMOUS RELIEF IF I COULD RESIGN.
WELL, IF YOU REALLY
WANT TO, SUE ELLEN...
JUST TILL THE BABY'S
BORN, OF COURSE,
AND YOU'RE FEELIN'
YOURSELF AGAIN.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
I GUESS WE'D BETTER GET GOIN'.
SETH WILL BE WONDERIN'
WHAT HAPPENED TO ME.
BYE.
COME ON, SUE ELLEN.
LET'S SEE WHAT THERESA'S
DOING FOR DINNER.
JOCK.
HI.
HEY, DADDY.
WHAT DO YOU SAY, J.R.?
RAY KREBBS AROUND?
I SAW HIM ABOUT
AN HOUR AGO. WHY?
I JUST WANNA SEE HIM.
WELL, I'M AFRAID YOU WON'T
BE ABLE TO SEE HIM TONIGHT.
HE SAID AS SOON AS
HE CHANGED CLOTHES,
HE WAS GOIN' INTO TOWN.
OH, YEAH? WELL, I'M HEADIN'
BACK THAT WAY MYSELF.
TELL SUE ELLEN I'LL BE LATE.
I'LL TAKE CARE OF IT.
AHH, I'LL TELL YOU, THOUGH,
IT'S LIKE THE MAN SAYS...
WE GOTTA QUIT SEEIN' EACH
OTHER THIS WAY, DONNA.
I AIN'T COMPLAININ'.
I WANT MORE OF YOU
THAN JUST NIGHTS IN A BAR
OR A MOTEL, YOU KNOW.
MMM. WELL, WHAT IF
THAT'S ALL THERE IS?
WELL, THAT JUST CAN'T BE, NOW.
WHY DON'T WE GO AWAY SOMEPLACE?
TAKE A WEEK.
REALLY GET TO KNOW EACH
OTHER, HAVE SOME FUN.
IT'S GETTIN' KIND
OF SERIOUS FOR ME.
BEFORE WE GO A
WHOLE LOT FURTHER,
I THINK WE BETTER FIGURE
OUT WHERE WE WANNA END UP.
HEY, DONNA. HOW YOU DOIN'?
J.R., UH, HOW ARE YOU DOIN'?
OH, WELL, JUST FINE, JUST FINE.
THOUGHT I'D SNEAK OUT OF THE
OFFICE AND DO A LITTLE BUYIN'.
YOU, UH, LOOKIN' FOR
SOMETHING FOR SAM?
OH, NO, I WAS JUST DOIN'
SOME WINDOW-SHOPPING.
OH, YEAH?
WELL, IT WAS, UH,
NICE SEEIN' YOU. BYE.
SAY, DONNA?
DONNA, YOU KNOW, I
WAS REAL SURPRISED
WHEN SAM INTRODUCED
YOU AS HIS WIFE.
YEAH, MOST PEOPLE ARE,
BUT, UH, THEY GET OVER IT.
OH, I'M NOT
TALKIN' AGAINST IT...
NO, I THINK IT'S PROBABLY
THE BEST THING IN THE WORLD
EVER HAPPENED TO HIM
TO HAVE A PRETTY YOUNG
LADY LIKE YOU FOR A WIFE.
WELL, HE SEEMS HAPPY.
YEAH, I SUPPOSE THERE'S A
LOT OF ADVANTAGES FOR HIM.
I CAN SEE WHERE THERE WOULD
BE ADVANTAGES FOR YOU, TOO.
I BET YOU CAN.
COURSE, I SUPPOSE THERE
WOULD BE DRAWBACKS...
UH, NAMELY, HIS AGE.
I HATE TO TELL YOU, BUT
THAT'S NOT REALLY ORIGINAL.
YOU SEE, YOU'RE
NOT THE FIRST PERSON
TO POINT OUT THAT A YOUNG,
HEALTHY WOMAN LIKE MYSELF
COULDN'T POSSIBLY HAVE
A HAPPY SEX LIFE WITH SAM.
NO, I DON'T SUPPOSE
IT'S ORIGINAL,
BUT I... I DO SUPPOSE IT'S TRUE.
WELL, AND I GUESS
YOU THINK THAT,
UH, YOU ARE JUST THE MAN
TO FILL MY LONELY HOURS.
OH, ME? NO, NO, NO.
I'M A MARRIED MAN.
I BELIEVE IN THE
SANCTITY OF MARRIAGE.
AH. WELL, YOU'RE
GONNA HAVE TO TELL ME
WHAT ALL THIS IS LEADING TO.
YOU KNOW, A FUNNY THING
HAPPENED TO ME LAST
NIGHT ON THE WAY HOME.
I WAS ON MY TO THE
RANCH... IT WAS PRETTY LATE...
OLD RAY KREBBS' PICKUP TRUCK
JUST CAME BARRELIN' PAST ME,
DOIN' WELL OVER THE SPEED LIMIT.
SO, I... I THOUGHT SOMETHING
MIGHT BE WRONG, SEE.
SO I DID A U-TURN,
AND I FOLLOWED HIM,
AND... AND YOU CAN IMAGINE
HOW SURPRISED I WAS
WHEN ALL HE DID WAS TURN
IN TO THE STARLIGHT MOTEL.
AND I BET YOU WERE SO SURPRISED,
YOU JUST HUNG AROUND LONG ENOUGH
TO FIND OUT WHO HE WAS MEETIN'.
WELL, I ALWAYS
WAS A CURIOUS ONE.
RAY HAS HAD SOME UNFORTUNATE
ROMANTIC EXPERIENCES
IN HIS PAST,
AND I JUST WOULDN'T WANT
THAT OLD BOY TO GET HURT AGAIN.
SO?
SO I CAN'T UNDERSTAND HIM
FOOLIN' AROUND WITH
A MARRIED WOMAN.
YOU CAN CUT OUT
ALL THIS NONSENSE
ABOUT CARING WHETHER
RAY GETS HURT OR NOT.
I MEAN, WHAT YOU
REALLY WANT IS SOMETHING
IN EXCHANGE FOR NOT
TELLING SAM, RIGHT?
WHO, ME TELL SAM?
OH, NO, NEVER, NEVER.
I DON'T THINK HE'D
TAKE KINDLY TO ANYBODY
WHO TOLD HIM THAT HIS
WIFE WAS FOOLIN' AROUND.
I ESPECIALLY DON'T THINK
HE'D TAKE KINDLY TO THE EWINGS
WHEN HE FOUND OUT
IT WAS THEIR FOREMAN
THAT SHE WAS
FOOLIN' AROUND WITH.
WELL, YOU'RE GONNA HAVE
TO SPELL IT OUT FOR ME, J.R.
I MEAN, YOU'RE JUST
WAY OVER MY HEAD.
SAM IS ON THE FENCE BETWEEN
THE EWINGS AND THE O.L.M.,
AND I WANT YOU TO TELL HIM
THAT TAKIN' THE POWER AWAY
FROM THE O.L.M. WOULD BE A FINE IDEA.
AND IN RETURN?
RAY WILL NEVER FIND OUT
FROM ME WHO YOU ARE.
YOU KNOW, IF HE GOT
A BROKEN HEART AGAIN,
HE JUST MIGHT GO
OFF THE DEEP END.
I DON'T KNOW WHAT HE'D
DO TO YOU OR TO SAM.
OH, DO YOU THINK I
CARE IF YOU TELL RAY?
I READ PEOPLE PRETTY WELL.
YES, I THINK YOU
CARE QUITE A LOT.
MATTER OF FACT,
I'M BANKIN' ON IT.
WELL, THERE'S THE LITTLE
STORE I WAS LOOKIN' FOR.
I THINK I'LL GO AND BUY
MY WIFE SOME TRINKETS.
YOU HAVE A NICE DAY.
WELL, I DON'T KNOW.
WELL, COME ON, IT'S
GONNA BE A GREAT PARTY.
TOMMY SAID SOME GUYS
ARE COMIN' OVER FROM PLANO!
YOU GUYS, I THOUGHT
WE WERE JUST GONNA
FOOL AROUND HERE
FOR A LITTLE WHILE.
OH, WHY STAY HERE
WHEN THERE'S A PARTY?
COME ON. THESE
REALLY PEPPED YOU UP
THE OTHER DAY, DIDN'T THEY?
YEAH, IT DID MAKE
ME FEEL PRETTY GOOD.
WELL, ONE MORE ISN'T
GONNA HURT YOU ANY.
COME ON, HOW'S IT GONNA BE A
PARTY WITHOUT THE FOUR OF US?
ALL RIGHT, BUT THOSE GUYS
FROM PLANO BETTER BE CUTE.
YEAH. WHY?
I WAS JUST GETTIN' READY.
WHERE?
IS SOMETHING WRONG?
ALL RIGHT.
SEE YOU THERE.
EVENIN', DADDY.
J.R.
WHAT YOU GOT THERE?
OH, JUST SOME BREEDING REPORTS.
LOOKS LIKE RAY'S
GONNA START STOCKING
THAT LAND OF HIS.
IS THAT A FACT?
WELL, GOOD FOR HIM.
I OUGHT TO LOOK HIM UP AND
SEE IF I CAN GIVE HIM A HAND.
WELL, I'M SURE HE'D
APPRECIATE THAT.
OH, UH, HAVE YOU HEARD ANYTHING
FROM SAM CULVER YET?
NO, SIR, NOT TODAY...
BUT, UH, THINK I'LL BE
HEARIN' FROM HIM SHORTLY.
I FEEL GOOD ABOUT THIS, DADDY.
HEY, SUGAR.
HI.
MMM.
I FEEL KIND OF FUNNY
MEETIN' YOU OUT HERE
IN THE OPEN LIKE THIS.
YEAH.
IT'S THE FIRST TIME, ISN'T IT?
YEAH. I KIND OF LIKE IT, THOUGH.
DID YOU EVER WONDER WHY?
WELL, YOU KNOW I HAVE.
BUT YOU NEVER ASKED.
WELL, NOT BECAUSE
I DIDN'T WANT TO.
MAYBE I WAS AFRAID
OF THE ANSWER.
ANYWAY, I FIGURED YOU'D TELL ME
WHEN YOU WERE READY TO.
WELL, UH... RAY, I'M,
UH... I'M LEAVING DALLAS.
LEAVIN' OR RUNNIN'?
YOU'RE NOT GONNA LET ME DO
THIS THE EASY WAY, ARE YOU?
WELL, YOU KNOW, I NEVER
FOUND AN EASY WAY.
OK. I'M MARRIED, RAY.
I HAVE BEEN FOR NEARLY 3 YEARS.
SO, YOU LOVE YOUR HUSBAND?
THAT'S A STRANGE QUESTION.
IT'S THE BEST ONE I KNOW
TO FIND OUT WHERE I STAND.
I CARE FOR HIM A GREAT DEAL.
HE'S, UH... AN OLDER MAN...
VERY RICH, UH...
VERY POWERFUL.
HIS NAME IS SAM CULVER.
OH, SO YOU JUST GO OUT
AND FIND YOURSELF A
NICE, YOUNG STUD, HUH?
GOOD OLD RAY KREBBS.
HEY, THAT ISN'T THE TRUTH.
IF THAT'S ALL THAT
I WAS LOOKING FOR,
I'M GONNA TELL YOU,
IT WOULD'VE HAPPENED WITH
SOMEBODY WAY BEFORE NOW,
BUT IT DIDN'T.
NOT UNTIL YOU.
SUPPOSED TO MAKE ME FEEL BETTER?
IT IS SUPPOSED TO
MAKE YOU UNDERSTAND
HOW VERY SPECIAL YOU
ARE TO ME... AND YOU ARE!
SO, WHAT ARE YOU GONNA DO?
I TOLD SAM THAT I
WAS LEAVING HIM...
THAT I LOVED HIM BUT I
WASN'T IN LOVE WITH HIM.
HOW'D HE TAKE THAT?
HE SAID THAT I'D
GIVEN HIM A NEW LIFE...
THAT HE... HE KNEW IT
WOULDN'T LAST FOREVER.
HE ASKED ME IF, UH... IF
THERE WAS ANYTHING I NEEDED,
WISHED ME WELL.
I ALMOST TOLD HIM I'D STAY.
ARE YOU GONNA DIVORCE HIM?
MM-HMM.
WELL, THEN DON'T
LEAVE. STAY HERE.
GIVE US SOME TIME.
LET'S SEE HOW WE
FEEL ABOUT EACH OTHER.
BUT I CAN'T! I AM SO CONFUSED
ABOUT WHAT'S GOING
ON IN MY LIFE RIGHT NOW
THAT I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO,
AND I'M NOT PROUD OF WHAT
I'VE DONE TO YOU OR SAM.
AND I JUST NEED
SOME TIME TO FIND OUT
IF I'M READY TO
MAKE A COMMITMENT.
DONNA, WE CAN WORK
THIS OUT TOGETHER.
OHH! OHH.
YOU ARE SUCH A GOOD MAN.
YOU HAVE SO MUCH
TO OFFER A WOMAN,
I CAN'T EVEN BEGIN TO TELL YOU.
DON'T YOU KNOW THAT
YOU HAVE MADE ME
SEE MY LIFE FOR
WHAT IT REALLY IS?
I MEAN, THAT'S WHY
I CAN LEAVE SAM.
I'M NOT GONNA BE GONE FOREVER.
AND, UH... WELL,
WHEN I COME BACK...
I MEAN, IF, UH... IF YOU'RE
STILL INTERESTED...
I'LL BE HERE.
I JUST THINK IT'S
ONE OF THOSE THINGS
WE JUST HAVE TO LIVE WITH...
NOTHIN' TO WORRY ABOUT,
AS FAR AS I'M CONCERNED.
J.R., YOU GOT A PHONE
CALL FROM SAM CULVER.
OH, YEAH. THANK YOU.
HELLO, SAM?
HOW YOU DOIN'?
J.R., I WANTED TO GIVE YOU
MY ANSWER ON THE O.L.M.
WELL, YES, SIR.
DONNA AND I HAD
QUITE A TALK YESTERDAY
ABOUT EWING OIL AND THE O.L.M.
OH, GOOD. GOOD, I'M HAPPY
YOU CAME TO A DECISION
SO QUICKLY.
WELL, I DON'T THINK YOU WILL BE.
DONNA TOLD ME TO TELL YOU
SHE THINKS THE O.L.M.'s
DOIN' AN EXCELLENT JOB.
SO DO I.
CLIFF BARNES IS GONNA
GET MY FULL SUPPORT.
DO ME GOOD TO GET
A LITTLE MORE ACTIVE.
WELL, I'D, UH, CERTAINLY
LIKE AN OPPORTUNITY
TO TALK TO YOU IN PRIVATE.
I THINK I COULD
CHANGE YOUR MIND.
THERE'S NOTHING YOU
CAN TELL ME DONNA HASN'T.
GIVE MY BEST TO
YOUR MAMA AND DADDY.
WHAT DID HE HAVE TO SAY, J.R.?
WELL, IT LOOKS LIKE WE
STILL HAVE CLIFF BARNES
AND O.L.M. ON OUR BACKS.
DAMN!
YES.
MORNIN', EVERYONE.
HI, RAY, HOW'S IT GOIN'?
ALL RIGHT.
FACT IS, I WANTED TO KNOW
IF YOU STILL HAD THOSE
HOUSE PLANS AROUND.
I THINK I HAVE A
COPY IN THE CAR.
LET'S GO TAKE A LOOK.
FIGURE I FIND SOMETHING I LIKE,
IT WOULD TAKE A YEAR
OR SO TO BUILD, RIGHT?
WELL, ABOUT THAT.
DOES THIS HAVE SOMETHING TO
DO WITH THAT NEW LADY OF YOURS?
WELL, THAT DIDN'T WORK
OUT, BOBBY, AT LEAST NOT YET.
MORE IMPORTANT, THOUGH,
IS I LEARNED
SOMETHING THIS TIME.
LIKE WHAT?
WELL, THAT I COULD REALLY
CARE FOR SOMEBODY AGAIN.
I TELL YOU, THAT'S
A DAMN FINE FEELIN'.
CAPTIONING MADE
POSSIBLE BY WARNER BROS.
RID OF CLIFF BARNES.
ONLY ONE MAN WITH THAT
MUCH POWER IN THIS STATE...
SAM CULVER.
MARRYING DONNA HERE,
GETTING WHAT YOU MIGHT CALL
A YOUNGER SLANT ON THINGS,
I JUST DON'T JUMP
RIGHT IN LIKE I USED TO.
I'VE COME TO DEPEND VERY
HEAVILY ON HER JUDGEMENT.
HE COULD HELP US A LOT, HONEY,
ESPECIALLY IF HIS
WIFE WANTS HIM TO.
AND WHY WOULD SHE DO THAT?
WELL, I DON'T KNOW,
BUT I'LL FIND OUT.
IT'S GETTING KIND
OF SERIOUS FOR ME.
BEFORE WE GO A
WHOLE LOT FURTHER,
I THINK WE BETTER FIGURE
OUT WHERE WE WANT TO END UP.
CAPTIONING MADE
POSSIBLE BY WARNER BROS.
WELL, YOU JUST TELL
MR. MAINWARING THAT I CALLED.
J.R. EWING. NOW
HOW MANY TIMES...
NOW, JUST... NEVER MIND!
I'LL CALL HIM BACK LATER.
J.R., WHY ARE YOU
CALLING CHRIS MAINWARING?
AFTER WHAT HAPPENED,
HE OBVIOUSLY WANTS
AS LITTLE AS POSSIBLE
TO DO WITH US.
WELL, JUST BECAUSE LUCY
CALLED OFF THE WEDDING TO HIS SON
DOESN'T MEAN WE CAN'T
DO BUSINESS TOGETHER.
IT SEEMS TO ME THE WEDDING
IS THE ONLY REASON
WE'RE DOING BUSINESS.
WELL, DAD, WHATEVER THE REASON,
THE MAN'S IMPORTANT TO
US AND WE CAN STILL USE HIM
AND HIS REFINERY ON THE GULF.
WELL, WE'LL JUST HAVE
TO LOOK ELSEWHERE, J.R.
OH, I COULDN'T AGREE
WITH YOU MORE, DAD,
BUT WE DON'T EXACTLY HAVE
CHOICES FROM A TO Z, THOUGH.
LOSING MAINWARING
WAS A BIG BLOW TO US.
YEAH, I KNOW.
J.R., I'M SURE YOU'RE
GONNA SURVIVE JUST FINE
EVEN WITHOUT MAINWARING OIL.
DON'T TAKE IT OUT ON J.R., LUCY.
YOU CALLED THE WEDDING OFF.
SHE HAD HER REASONS, JOCK.
NOW, IT'S OVER AND DONE WITH.
J.R., I DON'T WANT ANY MORE TALK
ABOUT THE MAINWARINGS.
YES, MOTHER.
SORRY, I DIDN'T MEAN
TO UPSET YOU, DARLING.
HEY, LUCY.
YOU GONNA MOPE
AROUND HERE ALL DAY,
OR ARE YOU GONNA GO TO SCHOOL?
GUESS I'LL GO TO SCHOOL.
GOOD. I'LL DRIVE YOU.
I DON'T HAVE ANYTHING TO DO
FOR A COUPLE OF HOURS.
BOBBY ALWAYS WAS
THE UNDERSTANDING ONE,
WASN'T HE?
YOU GONNA STAND
AROUND WITH A LONG FACE
ALL YOUR LIFE?
I CAN'T QUIT THINKING ABOUT KIT.
AND J.R. DOESN'T
MAKE IT ANY EASIER.
I KNOW, HONEY.
I WISH THERE WAS
SOMETHING I COULD DO
DO TO EASE THE PAIN.
YEAH, SO DO I.
HEY, WHAT IS THIS?
WHERE'D IT COME FROM, BOBBY?
WHAT, THIS? OH, I
THOUGHT THE HOUSE
WAS BUILT AROUND
IT. I DON'T KNOW...
OH, COME ON, BOBBY,
YOU KNOW WHAT IT IS!
TELL ME, WHAT IS IT?
OK, OK, OK, OK, OK.
NOW STAND RIGHT THERE.
NOW TAKE THIS, CLOSE YOUR EYES,
AND GIVE A BIG TUG,
AND YOU MIGHT JUST SEE SOMETHING
YOU'VE BEEN WISHING FOR,
BUT DON'T PEEK, OR
YOU GET NOTHING.
OK.
CAN I LOOK?
SURE.
OH, BOBBY, IT'S BEAUTIFUL!
OH, BOBBY, IT'S BEAUTIFUL!
IS IT FOR ME, REALLY?
BOBBY!
BOBBY, OH, IT'S
BEAUTIFUL. BOBBY, WHY?
WELL, BECAUSE IT'S A REAL PAIN
DRIVING YOU TO SCHOOL EVERY DAY,
AND I REALIZE YOU'RE
MORE THAN MATURE ENOUGH
TO HAVE ONE OF YOUR OWN.
OH, THANK YOU, BOBBY, THANK YOU.
YOU'RE WELCOME, HONEY.
COME ON NOW, YOU
DON'T WANT TO BE LATE
ON YOUR FIRST DAY.
LET ME MOVE THE
FRONT OF THE BOX.
OK?
NOW YOU BE CAREFUL.
MORNING, CONNIE.
MORNING.
MORNING, CONNIE.
ANY CALLS?
UH, YES, SIR.
AND MR. MORGAN JUST
ARRIVED FROM MIDLAND.
HE'S WAITING FOR
YOU IN YOUR OFFICE.
WHO'S MR. MORGAN?
HE'S HANDLING OUR NEW
EXPLORATION OUT THERE.
SOMETHING MUST BE WRONG.
WELL, LET'S GO FIND OUT.
HEY, BUD, HOW ARE YOU DOING?
THIS IS MY DADDY. BUD MORGAN.
MR. EWING.
MORGAN. A PLEASURE.
WHAT BRINGS YOU HERE, MORGAN?
THE OFFICE OF LAND MANAGEMENT.
THEY STOPPED OUR TEST DRILLING.
WELL, NOW HOW IN THE
HECK CAN THEY DO THAT?
NOT "THEY," DADDY. CLIFF BARNES.
WHAT HAPPENED?
SOME COCK AND BULL DELAY
OVER OUR ENVIRONMENTAL
IMPACT REPORT.
WHAT'S THE PROBLEM?
HEH! I DON'T KNOW.
THEY SAY THEY NEED
MORE TIME TO STUDY IT.
AND WE CAN'T DRILL TILL
THEY APPROVE IT, HUH?
THAT'S ABOUT IT.
TSK!
WELL, THEY'VE HAD
THAT REPORT FOR WEEKS.
THEY'RE JUST
DRAGGING THEIR FEET.
CLIFF BARNES KNOW HOW MUCH
EVERY LITTLE DELAY COSTS US.
WHAT DO YOU WANT ME TO DO?
WELL, GET BACK TO MIDLAND.
LET THE CREW GO, AND THEN HANG
AROUND UNTIL YOU HEAR FROM ME.
THAT'S A GOOD CREW, MR. EWING.
THEY'LL BE HARD TO REPLACE.
I KNOW IT.
SO DOES BARNES, J.R.
GO AHEAD, LET THEM GO.
YES, SIR.
MR. EWING.
MORGAN.
HMPH!
WE HAVE GOT TO GET
RID OF CLIFF BARNES.
SURE WE DO.
BUT HOW?
THERE'S GOTTA BE A WAY.
WE'VE GOTTA GET THE
POWER AWAY FROM THE O.L.M.
THE COURT'S NOT GONNA HELP US.
THE STATE CREATED THAT OFFICE,
AND THEY'RE STILL BEHIND IT.
WHO DO WE KNOW WITH ENOUGH CLOUT
TO MAKE THEM CHANGE
THEIR MIND ABOUT IT?
ONLY ONE MAN WITH THAT
MUCH POWER IN THIS STATE...
SAM CULVER.
SAM CULVER.
YES, SIR, THAT'S OUR MAN.
EX-GOVERNOR,
EX-SPEAKER OF THE HOUSE,
STILL IN CONTROL OF THE PARTY.
YEAH, THEY'LL ALL LISTEN TO HIM.
I THINK I'LL GIVE
HIM A LITTLE RING.
BETTER LET ME DO THAT,
J.R. SAM AND I GO WAY BACK.
AS A MATTER OF FACT, HE, UH,
STILL OWES ME A
COUPLE OF FAVORS.
GET SAM CULVER ON
THE PHONE, WOULD YOU?
TELL HIM JOCK EWING
WANTS TO TALK TO HIM.
HOWDY.
MORNING, BOBBY.
DID I SEE LUCY
PULLING OUT OF HERE
IN A NEW CAR THIS MORNING?
YES, SHE DID. WAS
SHE DOING UNDER 100?
HEH! LOOKED MORE LIKE 20 TO ME,
LIKE SHE WAS TRYING TO
AVOID EVERY BUMP IN THE ROAD.
HERE'S THOSE STOCK
LEDGERS YOU WANTED.
OH, THANKS A LOT.
FEEL KIND OF SORRY FOR LUCY.
SHE REALLY CARED FOR THAT KID.
YEAH, I KNOW.
OH, SHE'LL GET OVER IT.
I JUST HOPE THE CAR HELPS SOME.
WELL, NOW, I DIDN'T SEE
YOU BUYING ME ANYTHING
WHEN I HAD MY LITTLE
RUN IN WITH GARNET.
WELL, NOW, WE CAN
STILL TALK ABOUT
BUILDING THAT HOUSE OF YOURS.
YEAH. I GUESS I'M ABOUT THROUGH
FEELING SORRY FOR MYSELF,
BUT I DON'T KNOW IF I'M
READY FOR ANY HOUSE, YET.
WELL, WHATEVER.
IT'S NICE TO HAVE YOU
BACK AMONG THE LIVING.
SEE YOU.
OK.
WALLY, GET THE CHECK.
I'VE HAD IT WITH THIS PLACE.
WELL, NOW, HONEY, I
THINK IT'S BEEN KIND OF FUN.
OH, IT WAS, BUT I'M WITH HER.
HEY, LET'S ALL GO
DO A LITTLE DISCO.
ANYTHING BUT THAT.
FEEL LIKE A FOOL
DANCING THAT WAY.
WELL, THEN YOU CAN
SIT BACK AND WATCH.
COME ON.
COME ON, WE'LL THINK
OF SOMETHING ELSE.
LOOK, Y'ALL GO ON.
I'M GONNA STAY HERE AND
LISTEN TO SOME MORE OF THIS.
I KIND OF LIKE IT.
YOU'RE KIDDING.
NO!
LOOK, I'LL BE ALL RIGHT.
I'LL CATCH A CAB.
IF THAT'S WHAT YOU WANT.
COME ON, LET'S GO.
HEY, LITTLE LADY, WE CAN'T
LEAVE YOU HERE ALL ALONE.
SURE, YOU CAN.
NOW, LOOK, DONNA,
YOU CAME WITH US,
AND YOU'RE LEAVING
WITH US. COME ON.
LOOK, I'LL BE ALL RIGHT.
NOW, COME ON.
WALLY, PLEASE, DON'T DO THAT!
I TOLD YOU I WOULD BE FINE.
GET YOUR COAT.
EXCUSE ME HERE, FRIEND.
STAY OUT OF THIS, WILL
YOU? NOW GET YOUR COAT.
WELL, NOT TO BE OF ANY OFFENSE,
IT JUST SEEMS LIKE THE
LADY WANTS TO STAY.
IT'S NONE OF YOUR BUSINESS.
WELL, I APPRECIATE THAT.
I JUST WANTED YOU TO KNOW
THIS IS A RESPECTABLE PLACE.
LADY'D BE ALL RIGHT HERE.
IT MIGHT JUST SAVE AN ARGUMENT
IF YOU LET HER BE.
THAT'S A GOOD POINT.
I'LL BE FINE.
YOU SURE? YES.
ALL RIGHT.
SALLY'LL CALL YOU TOMORROW.
OK. OK.
GOOD NIGHT.
MA'AM.
EXCUSE ME.
YES, MA'AM?
LOOK, I JUST WANT
TO SAY THANK YOU.
WELL, NO PROBLEM.
I JUST FIGURED
I'D BETTER STOP IT
BEFORE IT GOT TOO FAR.
WHAT DO YOU MEAN?
WELL, I SAW A COUPLE
OF THE BOYS DOWN THERE
LOOKING A LITTLE
EDGY AT YOUR FRIEND.
BETTER TO TALK HIM OUT
OF IT THEN CARRY HIM OUT.
OH! I THOUGHT YOU SAID
THAT THIS WAS A
RESPECTABLE PLACE.
YES, MA'AM. I WANT
TO KEEP IT THAT WAY.
WELL, UH... THANKS
AGAIN, MISTER...
RAY, RAY KREBBS.
RAY, IT WAS NICE MEETING YOU.
EXCUSE ME.
WELL, DON'T RUN OFF NOW.
COULD YOU DO WITH ANOTHER DRINK?
WHY NOT?
THERE'S A SEAT RIGHT HERE.
THANK YOU.
HARRY.
I DON'T KNOW.
I THOUGHT ABOUT MOVING
ON A COUPLE OF TIMES.
THE RANCH IS SORT
OF SPECIAL TO ME.
I SORT OF FEEL
LIKE I BELONG THERE.
DO YOU REALLY ENJOY
WORKING FOR SOMEBODY ELSE?
OH, IT'S MORE THAN THAT.
SEE, I GOT A SECTION
OF MY OWN OUT THERE.
I FIGURE ONE OF THESE DAYS,
I'M GONNA BUILD MYSELF A HOUSE,
RUN A FEW CATTLE, MAYBE A
FEW GOOD QUARTER HORSES.
WHY HAVEN'T YOU
DONE IT BEFORE NOW?
ALMOST DID. THEN, UH... WELL,
IT JUST DIDN'T WORK
OUT AT THE TIME.
WHO CALLED FOR THE CAB?
I DID.
I'LL BE RIGHT WITH YOU.
WELL, UH, RAY, I
WANT YOU TO KNOW
THAT I HAVE REALLY ENJOYED THIS.
YOU KNOW, I CAN DRIVE YOU HOME.
I KNOW.
MAYBE SOME OTHER TIME.
YOU JUST SAY WHEN AND WHERE.
UH, WELL, YOU THINK
YOU MIGHT BE HERE
TOMORROW NIGHT?
DAMN SURE COULD BE.
MAYBE THEN.
MIGHT HAVE KNOWN THAT
OLD GOAT WOULD BE LATE.
YEAH, WHY'S THAT?
WELL, WHEN I CALLED HIM
YESTERDAY AFTER ALL THIS TIME,
HE KNOWS I WANT SOMETHING.
JUST HIS WAY OF MAKING ME
SWEAT A LITTLE, THAT'S ALL.
WELL, IF HE SHOWS
UP, IT'LL BE WORTH IT.
HEY, THERE HE IS NOW
MAKING HIS ENTRANCE.
WELL, HELLO, JOCK.
GLAD TO SEE YOU, SAM.
YOU OLD BUZZARD.
YOU KNOW MY BOY J.R.
A PLEASURE. J.R.
SIT DOWN, SAM.
WELL, THEY TELL ME YOU'RE
RUNNING EWING OIL NOW, HUH?
WELL, HE'S DOING A
HELL OF A FINE JOB, TOO.
BOURBON AND BRANCH, HUH?
SAME OLD DRINK, HUH?
YEAH, SOME THINGS
NEVER CHANGE, JOCK.
LIKE THE EWINGS
AND THE BARNESES.
I UNDERSTAND DIGGER'S BOY
IS GIVING YOU A
LITTLE TROUBLE LATELY.
THAT COULDN'T BE THE REASON
FOR OUR LUNCH, COULD IT?
WELL, AS LONG AS
WE'RE DOWN TO IT, SAM,
THAT'S THE REASON.
HE'S USING HIS POSITION
AS THE HEAD OF O.L.M.
TO GET BACK AT EWING OIL.
WELL, THAT'S MORE THAN HIS
DADDY COULD EVER DO TO YOU.
NOT SAYING DIGGER REALLY HAD
ANY CAUSE TO HATE YOU SO, JOCK.
I GUESS YOU DID ABOUT AS
FAIR AS YOU COULD BY HIM, HUH?
ABOUT THE SAME
AS YOU WOULD, SAM.
MAYBE SO.
OF COURSE, I COULD'VE DONE IT
WITHOUT MAKING AN ENEMY OF HIM.
HEH HEH!
NOW THAT'S WHY YOU'RE THE
MOST SUCCESSFUL POLITICIAN
IN THE STATE, SAM.
HEH HEH! EX-POLITICIAN.
I HAVEN'T HELD OFFICE IN YEARS.
DON'T KNOW WHAT'S
GOING ON ANYMORE.
OH, THAT'S NOT THE
WAY I UNDERSTAND IT.
I HEAR NOBODY GOES TO
THE JOHN WITHOUT YOUR OK.
YOU LEADING TO SOMETHING?
YES, SIR.
THE O.L.M. IS SMOTHERING
THE INDEPENDENT OIL MAN.
THEY'RE LIABLE
TO RUN A LOT OF US
OUT OF BUSINESS IF
THEY KEEP THE POWER.
WELL, THERE ARE SOME WHO SAY
THEY'RE DOING A PRETTY GOOD
JOB OF KEEPING Y'ALL IN LINE.
NOT THESE DAYS, SIR.
UNLESS, OF COURSE,
YOU LIKE US BUYING
ALL OUR OIL FROM THE ARABS.
WELL, YOU'RE PRETTY DIRECT, BOY.
YES, SIR, I AM.
WELL, THERE'S NOTHING
WRONG WITH THAT.
I GUESS US OLD TIMERS
DO SPEND TOO MUCH TIME
THROWING THE BULL, HUH?
SAM, YOU THINK ON WHAT HE SAYS.
WE NEED YOUR HELP TO
GET SOME NEW LAWS PASSED,
PUT THE REINS ON THE O.L.M.
WELL, WE'LL SEE.
HOW'S ELLIE, JOCK?
SAME STICK OF FIRE
SHE ALWAYS WAS?
OH, SHE'S MELLOWED
SOME, BUT STILL ALL WOMAN.
I, UH, UNDERSTAND
THAT YOU GOT MARRIED
A COUPLE YEARS BACK.
TO A LOVELY LADY
MUCH TOO GOOD FOR ME.
MATTER OF FACT, SHE'S
GONNA MEET ME HERE.
WANTS TO TAKE ME SHOPPING,
BUY ME SOME NEW CLOTHES.
OH? UH, SAM, WHY
DON'T YOU BRING HER
OUT TO SOUTHFORK FOR
DINNER SATURDAY NIGHT
AND SEE MISS ELLIE?
I'M GONNA SHOW THESE YOUNG KIDS
HOW WE CAN REALLY
THROW THE BULL, HUH?
WELL, NOW, I JUST MIGHT DO THAT.
LOVE TO SEE ELLIE AGAIN.
GOOD.
AH, HERE'S MY LADY NOW!
DARLING.
MY WIFE DONNA.
THIS IS JOCK AND J.R. EWING.
DONNA.
HOW DO YOU DO?
THEY WANT US TO COME
TO DINNER SATURDAY NIGHT.
WHAT DO YOU THINK?
UH, WELL, I THINK
THAT WOULD BE LOVELY.
YOU SEEM MIGHTY HAPPY
WITH YOURSELF TONIGHT, J.R.
YOU MANAGE TO EVICT
SOME WIDOWS TODAY?
YOU KEEP DRINKING LIKE THAT,
AND YOU'RE GONNA BE EVICTED
ONTO A TRASH HEAP, DEAR.
HEH HEH! AM I EMBARRASSING YOU?
WELL, I MANAGED TO SNEAK IN
HERE WHERE NO ONE CAN SEE ME.
WELL, THEY MAY NOT
BE ABLE TO SEE YOU,
BUT THEY KNOW YOU'RE HERE.
SMELLS LIKE A BREWERY.
IF I OFFEND YOU, MY DARLING,
YOU HAVE MY PERMISSION
TO SEEK COMFORT ELSEWHERE.
WELL, NOT EVEN YOU CAN
UPSET ME TONIGHT, DARLING.
AS A MATTER OF FACT, I
HAVE SOME INFORMATION
THAT MIGHT BE OF
INTEREST TO YOU.
YEAH, I CAN HARDLY WAIT.
I THINK I FINALLY MET THE MAN
WHO CAN PUT A STOP TO
YOUR FRIEND CLIFF BARNES
ONCE AND FOR ALL.
WELL, ABOUT TIME FOR DINNER.
I DON'T SUPPOSE
YOU'RE WELL ENOUGH
TO MEET WITH THE FAMILY.
DO ME ONE FAVOR THOUGH...
TRY NOT TO MAKE ANY NOISE
IF YOU PASS OUT IN HERE.
HI.
HI.
DIDN'T THINK YOU WERE COMING.
WELL, UH... I ALMOST DIDN'T.
HERE, HAVE A CHAIR.
THANKS.
DRINK?
DO THEY HAVE WINE HERE?
OH, YOU BET.
IMPORTED ALL THE
WAY FROM CALIFORNIA.
WELL, NOW THAT IS
WHAT I CALL RESPECTABLE.
HONEY, CAN I HAVE ANOTHER
BEER AND A GLASS OF...
WHITE.
WHITE WINE FOR THE LADY.
YES, SIR.
THANK YOU.
WELL, HERE'S TO THAT
IMPORTED CALIFORNIA WINE
AND A VERY MYSTERIOUS LADY.
MYSTERIOUS? WHY?
WELL, I REALIZED I
SAT AROUND HERE
TALKING ABOUT MYSELF LAST NIGHT.
I DON'T KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT YOU.
OH.
WELL, THERE'S NOT A
LOT TO TELL, REALLY.
MY NAME IS DONNA. I'M 28.
I WAS BORN IN MARSHALL, TEXAS.
MARSHALL!
YOU KNOW, THAT LITTLE
PLACE CLOSE TO SHREVEPORT?
SURE, SURE.
AND YOU KNOW, I
REALLY DON'T KNOW
WHAT I'M DOING HERE WITH YOU.
WELL, MAYBE IT'S JUST MY
RUGGED WESTERN CHARM, HUH?
HA HA HA!
NO, NO I DON'T THINK
THAT'S WHAT IT IS.
NO. UM... I THINK
IT'S THE FACT THAT...
THAT YOU DIDN'T TRY
AND HIT ON ME LAST NIGHT.
WELL, I WASN'T LOOKING FOR THAT.
I DIDN'T THINK YOU WERE, EITHER.
WELL... TELL ME, WHAT
ARE YOU LOOKING FOR?
I DON'T KNOW.
NOTHING COMPLICATED.
MAYBE JUST A HAPPY ENDING.
YOU AND EVERYBODY ELSE.
YEAH.
WHY DO YOU THINK
THAT IT'S SO DIFFICULT
FOR PEOPLE TO
HAVE A HAPPY ENDING?
WELL, IT COULD BE THE
ENDING DEPENDS ON THE START.
BEGINNING WITH SOMEBODY
THAT YOU COULD
END UP HAPPY WITH.
WELL, THAT WOULD BE TERRIFIC.
I MEAN, YOU KNOW, IF THINGS
DIDN'T CHANGE... BUT THEY DO.
I MEAN, THEY ALWAYS DO.
THANK YOU.
MM-HMM.
WE SURE ARE GETTING SERIOUS HERE
ALL OF A SUDDEN.
OH, I DON'T WANT TO GET SERIOUS.
NO, UM... TO FUN.
YEAH, I COULD USE A LOT OF THAT.
TO FUN.
I CAN'T EVEN THINK
OF THE LAST TIME
I SAW SAM CULVER.
WELL, LET'S SEE. IT HAS TO BE...
IT HAS TO BE 10 YEARS OR MORE,
WHAT WITH SAM SPENDING
MOST OF HIS TIME DOWN IN AUSTIN.
IS HIS WIFE PRETTY?
SHE'S AWFUL YOUNG
IS WHAT SHE IS.
CAN YOU IMAGINE AN
OLD GOAT LIKE THAT
BEING MARRIED TO
A GIRL BOBBY'S AGE?
SHE TOLD ME SHE WENT
TO SCHOOL WITH BOBBY
OVER AT THE UNIVERSITY.
YOU'RE SURE YOU'RE NOT
JUST A LITTLE BIT
JEALOUS OF HIM?
A YOUNG GIRL LIKE THAT...
JUST COULDN'T HOLD A CANDLE
TO A REAL WOMAN LIKE YOU,
MISS ELLIE.
YOU REALLY MEAN THAT, DON'T YOU?
NEVER SAW ONE THAT COULD
SINCE THE DAY WE GOT MARRIED.
JOCK.
HEY, COME ON NOW, DADDY.
YOU TOLD ME NOT TO GET ROMANTIC
BEFORE NOON ON SATURDAY.
YOU LET HIM ALONE, BOBBY.
HE'S DOING JUST FINE.
THE REST OF YOU
COULD TAKE SOME
LESSONS FROM HIM.
MM, I BET THEY COULD.
I HOPE WE FEEL LIKE YOU DO
WHEN WE'VE BEEN MARRIED AS LONG.
HEY, YOU GOT TIME FOR BREAKFAST?
I CAN'T, WE HAVE TO
BE AT THE CLUB BY 10:00.
HAVE TO GO.
BYE-BYE.
MORNING, MISS ELLIE, JOCK.
SUE ELLEN.
GOOD MORNING, SUE ELLEN.
YOU FEELING BETTER?
SOME.
WELL, HOW ABOUT SOME BREAKFAST?
UH... NO.
NO, THIS TOMATO JUICE
IS JUST FINE, THANK YOU.
OH.
MORNING, RAY. HOW YOU DOING?
MORNING, BOBBY.
HI. PAM.
JOCK STILL HAVING BREAKFAST?
YEAH, HE, MAMA AND SUE ELLEN.
WELL, I WON'T BOTHER HIM THEN.
IS THERE SOMETHING
I CAN HELP YOU WITH?
WELL, I WAS GONNA TALK
TO HIM ABOUT SOME CATTLE.
I THOUGHT I MIGHT
STOCK MY SECTION SOME.
WELL, IT'S ABOUT TIME.
YEAH, THINGS ARE LOOKING UP.
OH?
WELL, THERE'S THIS LADY.
I JUST SORT OF MET HER,
NOTHING SERIOUS OR ANYTHING YET.
WELL, RAY, THAT'S GREAT.
WHEN ARE WE GONNA MEET HER?
WELL, LIKE I SAID, I
JUST MET HER MYSELF.
COME ON.
MONDAY NIGHT I'M GONNA SEE
HER OVER AT THE LONGHORN.
WHY DON'T YOU COME
ON BY AROUND 9:00?
LET YOU BUY US A DRINK.
ALL RIGHT, WE'LL DO
IT. WE'LL SEE YOU THEN.
GREAT. HAVE A GOOD ONE.
BYE!
THEY JUST ELECTED ME
JUSTICE OF THE PEACE
ABOUT A WEEK BEFORE,
AND HERE THEY COME
PULLING DIGGER BARNES
AND JOCK UP IN FRONT OF ME.
IT SEEMS THEY JUST HIT ONE.
DIGGER COME INTO TOWN
TO DRINK THE BAR DRY,
BUYING FOR EVERYBODY.
IN COME OLD JOCK, GRABBED
HIM BY THE SCUFF OF THE NECK
AND HAULED HIM OUT.
WELL, THAT DIDN'T SET TOO GOOD
WITH THE BOYS HE WAS
BUYING THE DRINKS FOR.
SO THERE ENSUED ONE
OF THE FINEST BRAWLS
EVER TO TAKE PLACE
WEST OF THE MISSISSIPPI.
GAVE 'EM BOTH A
WEEK IN THE POKEY.
REMEMBER THAT, JOCK?
YEAH, I SURE DO, SAM.
BARNES AND I WERE A HECK
OF A PAIR BACK IN THOSE DAYS.
NOW WE'VE GOT THAT BOY
OF HIS ALL OVER OUR BACK.
DONNA, I REMEMBER
YOU IN MY JUNIOR YEAR,
AND THEN YOU JUST DISAPPEARED.
WHAT HAPPENED?
WELL, THAT WAS ABOUT THE TIME
THAT MY PARENTS WERE
KILLED IN AN ACCIDENT.
AND I JUST DROPPED OUT OF
SCHOOL AND WENT TO WORK.
WELL, DID YOU EVER THINK ABOUT
GOING BACK AND FINISHING?
OH, I DID FOR A WHILE.
THEN I DROPPED
OUT AGAIN, MET SAM,
WHICH WAS PROBABLY
THE NICEST THING
THAT EVER HAPPENED TO ME.
HE'S A HECK OF A MAN.
YEAH, HE IS.
IN A LOT OF WAYS.
EXCUSE ME.
I WAS WONDERING IF
YOU GAVE ANY THOUGHT
TO THOSE CONVERSATIONS WE
HAD THE OTHER DAY AT LUNCH?
NOW, J.R., WE DIDN'T
INVITE SAM HERE
TO TALK ABOUT BUSINESS.
WELL, MAYBE YOU DIDN'T, ELLIE,
BUT MAYBE IT'S AS GOOD
A TIME NOW AS EVER
TO TALK ABOUT IT.
YOU KNOW, A WHILE BACK,
I'D HAVE SAID YES
OR NO RIGHT NOW.
MARRYING DONNA HERE,
GETTING WHAT YOU MIGHT CALL
A YOUNGER SLANT ON THINGS,
I JUST DON'T JUMP
RIGHT IN LIKE I USED TO.
I FOUND OUT SHE'S GOT
A BETTER POINT
OF VIEW THAN I HAVE
ON WHAT'S GOING ON NOWADAYS.
WELL, I RESPECT
THAT, SIR. I REALLY DO.
AS A MATTER OF FACT,
I ADMIRE YOUR ABILITY TO
CONSIDER ALL POINTS OF VIEW.
IT JUST OCCURRED TO ME
THAT SHE MAY NOT BE AS
WELL-VERSED AS YOU ARE
IN THE FINER ASPECTS OF THE
INDEPENDENT OIL BUSINESS.
WELL, MAYBE NOT,
BUT SHE DOES KNOW
ECOLOGY, RESOURCES.
I'VE COME TO DEPEND
VERY HEAVILY ON HER JUDGMENT.
YOU KNOW YOU'RE YOUR OWN MAN.
YEAH. BE THAT AS IT MAY,
IT HELPS A MAN TO HAVE SOMEBODY
HE CAN TRUST TO
DISCUSS THINGS WITH,
GET THE OTHER POINT OF VIEW.
ONE OF THE REASONS WHY
I TREASURE YOU, MY DEAR.
I TAKE IT YOU DON'T HAVE
AN ANSWER FOR US YET.
WELL, LET'S JUST SAY I'M
STILL SITTING ON THE FENCE,
WAITING FOR THE WIND TO
BLOW ME ONE WAY OR THE OTHER.
NOW, THAT'S ABSOLUTELY
THE LAST WORD
OF BUSINESS I WANT TO HEAR.
I HAVEN'T HAD A CHANCE
TO TALK DONNA ALL NIGHT.
I THINK I'VE FOUND OUT
ENOUGH LIVING WITH JOCK
TO BE ABLE TO GIVE HER
A FEW TIPS ABOUT YOU, SAM.
WELL, NOW, NOTHING
SHE CAN USE AGAINST ME.
PLANNING ON GOING TO BED?
SOON.
I WANT TO COMPLIMENT YOU
ON THE WAY YOU HANDLED
YOURSELF THIS EVENING.
DO YOU NOW?
YUP. YOU HARDLY
SAID A WORD, WHICH,
UNDER THE CIRCUMSTANCES,
WAS PROBABLY THE BEST
THING YOU COULD'VE DONE.
WELL, I WAS TOO BUSY
WATCHING AND THINKING.
ABOUT YOUR NEXT DRINK?
ABOUT THAT GIRL WHO'S
MARRIED TO A MAN JOCK'S AGE
AND HAS A MUCH BETTER
MARRIAGE THAN I DO.
WELL, WE MAY NOT HAVE
BEEN FREQUENT, SUE ELLEN,
BUT I CAN GUARANTEE YOU
THAT GIRL BETTER HAVE
A FRIEND SOMEPLACE ELSE
BECAUSE SHE CAN'T
BE HAPPY AT HOME.
IF THEY NEVER MADE LOVE, J.R.,
SHE HAS MUCH MORE THAN I HAVE.
OH? WHAT WOULD THAT BE?
HE CARES ABOUT HER.
HE TAKES HER ADVICE
AND HE LISTENS TO HER.
OH, YEAH, YEAH. WELL,
TO HEAR HIM TELL IT,
SHE PICKS THE CLOTHES
HE'S GONNA WEAR,
THE CAR HE'S GONNA DRIVE,
PRACTICALLY CUTS
HIS MEAT FOR HIM.
AND WHAT'S SO BAD ABOUT THAT?
OH, NOTHING, NOTHING.
I THINK IT'S WONDERFUL.
THE MORE HE RELIES ON
HER AND LISTENS TO HER,
THE MORE HE'S LIABLE TO
DO WHAT SHE ASKS HIM TO.
THIS WOULDN'T HAVE
ANYTHING TO DO WITH CLIFF
AND THE O.L.M., WOULD IT?
SAM CULVER'S A VERY, VERY
IMPORTANT AND POWERFUL MAN.
HE COULD HELP US A LOT, HONEY,
ESPECIALLY IF HIS
WIFE WANTS HIM TO.
AND WHY WOULD SHE DO THAT?
I DON'T KNOW, OR RATHER
I DON'T KNOW JUST YET.
BUT I'LL FIND OUT.
YOU CAN BET ON IT.
HA HA. YEAH.
GOING TO THE TRACK
MEET ON WEDNESDAY?
I DON'T THINK SO.
OH, COME ON. IT'LL BE FUN.
TOMMY CARTER'S HAVING
A PARTY AFTERWARDS.
I DON'T FEEL LIKE IT.
YOU HAVEN'T FELT LIKE
MUCH OF ANYTHING LATELY.
I KNOW.
SO YOU AND KIT BUSTED UP.
YOU CAN'T STAY HUNG UP FOREVER.
YOU'RE KIND OF A
DOWNER TO BE AROUND.
MEN JUST AREN'T WORTH IT.
THERE ARE MILLIONS OF 'EM.
THERE WILL BE A LOT OF CUTE GUYS
AT TOMMY'S.
LOOK, YOU GUYS, I
JUST DON'T FEEL LIKE IT,
ALL RIGHT?
WHAT IF I COULD
MAKE YOU FEEL LIKE IT?
OH, I WISH.
I CAN.
HERE... TAKE ONE OF THESE.
GUARANTEED TO IMPROVE.
I DON'T KNOW.
THERE'S NOTHING TO IT.
I STARTED TAKING
THEM TO LOSE WEIGHT.
IT'LL REALLY MAKE
YOU FEEL BETTER.
YOU GONNA BE CHICKEN?
THEY'RE PRACTICALLY SOLD
WITHOUT A PRESCRIPTION.
THEY'RE REAL MILD. THEY
JUST CHEER YOU UP A BIT.
WELL, I SURE COULD
USE SOME CHEERING UP.
YAY! YAY!
THE WORST IS OVER. YOU TOOK IT.
WAIT AND SEE,
YOU ARE GONNA FEEL A LOT BETTER.
RAY HASN'T SAID ANY
MORE ABOUT THIS LADY?
NOT A THING.
AS A MATTER OF FACT,
I DON'T THINK HE'S TOO
HAPPY HE INVITED US HERE.
OH, WHY?
I DON'T KNOW.
I THINK HE'S JUST SUPERSTITIOUS.
HE'S AFRAID IF HE TALKS ABOUT IT
THAT SOMETHING WILL
GO WRONG, THAT'S ALL.
OH, THERE HE IS.
OH, MY GOD. BOBBY...
HONEY, COME ON.
LET'S GET OUT OF HERE
BEFORE HE SEES US.
WHY WOULD HE ASK
US HERE TO MEET HER?
I DON'T KNOW.
HE DOESN'T KNOW
WHO SHE IS, THAT'S ALL.
WELL, HOW COULDN'T HE?
WELL, DARLING, I DON'T KNOW,
BUT I'M SURE HE DOESN'T.
DONNA, OF COURSE PAMELA KNOWS.
WHAT KIND OF QUESTION IS THAT?
ALL RIGHT, FINE.
YEAH, I'LL MEET YOU THERE, UM...
- 00.
OK. GOOD-BYE.
I'M NOT VERY GOOD AT LYING.
I THINK SHE KNOWS IT
WASN'T FOR OLD TIMES' SAKE.
WELL, SHE COULDN'T THINK
IT WAS ABOUT HER AND RAY.
SHE PROBABLY THINKS
IT'S ABOUT CLIFF AND O.L.M.
I DON'T KNOW,
HONEY. I DON'T KNOW.
WHOOPS, TAKE IT EASY, DARLING.
WE DON'T WANT YOU HAVING
AN ACCIDENT NOW, DO WE?
YOU'RE IN FINE HUMOR
TODAY AREN'T YOU, J.R.?
OH, SOME DAYS JUST START OFF
BETTER THAN OTHERS, I GUESS.
YOU READY FOR YOUR DAUGHTERS OF
THE ALAMO MEETING?
I AM, THOUGH THEY WON'T
BE HERE TILL ABOUT 3:00.
ALL RIGHT, ENJOY YOURSELF.
THANK YOU, DARLING.
THAT WAS A WONDERFUL
TALK, MR. MARTIN.
IT MOVED US ALL DEEPLY.
AND YOU CAN BE SURE
THAT OUR ORGANIZATION'S
GONNA HELP YOU WITH
YOUR HOSPITAL PROJECT.
WELL, WHAT SUE ELLEN MEANS
IS YOUR RESEARCH PROJECT.
OH, THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT I MEANT.
OF COURSE, HOW SILLY OF ME.
COULD I HAVE A WORD
WITH YOU, MISS ELLIE?
CERTAINLY, MARILEE.
WE'VE BEEN NOTICING
FOR SOME TIME, MISS ELLIE,
THAT SUE ELLEN... WELL, THAT
SHE HASN'T BEEN FEELING HERSELF.
PREGNANCY IS DIFFICULT
FOR SOME WOMEN.
WE THOUGHT MAYBE...
YOU WANT SUE ELLEN TO RESIGN
AS PRESIDENT OF THE D.O.A.
JUST TEMPORARILY, MISS ELLIE.
WE'LL APPOINT AN
INTERIM PRESIDENT
UNTIL SHE'S FEELING BETTER.
YOU DO UNDERSTAND?
I'LL SEE TO IT.
THANK YOU, MISS ELLIE.
WE JUST THINK IT WOULD BE KINDER
COMING FROM YOU.
WE'D BE GRATEFUL IF YOU
COULD TAKE CARE OF IT SOON.
ALL RIGHT.
WHAT A DELIGHTFUL
AFTERNOON, MISS ELLIE.
DON'T YOU THINK MR. MARTIN'S
A CHARMING SPEAKER?
VERY CHARMING.
HI.
HI.
HAVE A SEAT.
THANK YOU.
I WAS, UH, SURPRISED
TO HEAR FROM YOU.
TO TELL YOU THE TRUTH,
I DIDN'T WANNA CALL YOU
IN THE FIRST PLACE.
I FELT I HAD TO.
WELL, YOU SAID YOU
WANTED TO TALK. LET'S TALK.
LOOK, UH, BOBBY, WHATEVER IT IS,
YOU CAN SAY IT.
WHY ARE YOU SEEING RAY KREBBS?
IT CERTAINLY DIDN'T TAKE LONG
FOR YOU TO FIND
THAT OUT, NOW, DID IT?
HOW LONG DO YOU THINK IT'S
GONNA TAKE SAM TO FIND OUT?
WELL, DO YOU REALLY
CARE ABOUT SAM?
RAY IS A FRIEND OF MINE.
I KNOW HE DOESN'T
KNOW WHO YOU ARE.
DOES HE EVEN KNOW
YOU'RE MARRIED?
NO, UH, I DON'T THINK SO.
LOOK, YOU KNOW THAT THIS
ISN'T ANY OF YOUR BUSINESS.
DID RAY TELL YOU ABOUT A
GIRL NAMED GARNET McGEE?
NOT HER NAME, BUT, UH,
I KNEW THERE HAD BEEN SOMEBODY.
WELL, SHE DAMN NEAR
BROKE HIM IN HALF...
AND RAY DOES NOT DESERVE
TO BE TREATED LIKE THAT AGAIN.
HE'S A GOOD MAN.
I AM NOT TRYING TO HURT RAY.
I DIDN'T EVEN PLAN
TO START SEEING HIM.
BOBBY, IN ALL THE TIME
THAT SAM AND I HAVE BEEN
TOGETHER, I HAVE NEVER...
THEN WHY RAY?
WHY PAM?
I MEAN, I DON'T KNOW!
ALL I KNOW IS THAT
I CARE FOR HIM.
THEN YOU BETTER
MAKE UP YOUR MIND
WHAT YOU'RE GONNA DO ABOUT IT,
'CAUSE, DONNA, YOU
CAN'T HAVE IT BOTH WAYS.
SAM CULVER IS PROBABLY
THE BEST MAN THAT I KNOW.
WHEN WE FIRST MET, UH,
SAM HAD JUST LOST HIS WIFE...
AND OF COURSE MY
PARENTS WERE GONE.
COMPARED TO MOST
OF THE MEN THAT I KNEW,
WELL, BOY, SAM
CULVER WAS A GIANT.
I WAS SO PROUD THAT HE
ASKED ME WHAT I THOUGHT...
AND HE ACTUALLY
LISTENED WHEN I TOLD HIM.
I... I WASN'T IN LOVE WITH
HIM WHEN WE MARRIED.
I MEAN, I WAS, BUT...
NOT THE WAY THAT
I SHOULD'VE BEEN.
BUT I NEVER SHORTCHANGED HIM.
NOT UNTIL NOW...
AND I KNOW THAT
IN ALL OF THIS MESS,
SOMEBODY IS GONNA GET HURT.
NAMELY, SAM, RAY, AND ME...
BUT I JUST DON'T KNOW
WHAT TO DO ABOUT IT.
NOW, IF YOU CAN TELL ME...
WELL... I'D LIKE TO HEAR IT.
I MEAN, UH... I'D
REALLY LIKE TO HEAR.
WELL, HI, LADIES!
Marilee: HI, J.R.
HOW'D THE MEETING GO?
JUST FINE, J.R.
HEY, DARLIN'. YOU ALL RIGHT?
I'M FINE.
SHE'S HAD A VERY HARD DAY, J.R.
THESE MEETINGS
TAKE A LOT OUT OF HER.
MAYBE SHE SHOULDN'T
HAVE SO MANY MEETINGS.
SHE AND I HAVE TALKED ABOUT IT,
AND SHE'S HOPING THAT
THE LADIES WILL LET HER RESIGN.
I... I HOPE YOU DON'T MIND
MY BRINGING IT UP, SUE ELLEN.
I KNOW HOW RELUCTANT
YOU WERE TO MENTION IT.
WELL... THAT WOULD BE AN
ENORMOUS RELIEF IF I COULD RESIGN.
WELL, IF YOU REALLY
WANT TO, SUE ELLEN...
JUST TILL THE BABY'S
BORN, OF COURSE,
AND YOU'RE FEELIN'
YOURSELF AGAIN.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
I GUESS WE'D BETTER GET GOIN'.
SETH WILL BE WONDERIN'
WHAT HAPPENED TO ME.
BYE.
COME ON, SUE ELLEN.
LET'S SEE WHAT THERESA'S
DOING FOR DINNER.
JOCK.
HI.
HEY, DADDY.
WHAT DO YOU SAY, J.R.?
RAY KREBBS AROUND?
I SAW HIM ABOUT
AN HOUR AGO. WHY?
I JUST WANNA SEE HIM.
WELL, I'M AFRAID YOU WON'T
BE ABLE TO SEE HIM TONIGHT.
HE SAID AS SOON AS
HE CHANGED CLOTHES,
HE WAS GOIN' INTO TOWN.
OH, YEAH? WELL, I'M HEADIN'
BACK THAT WAY MYSELF.
TELL SUE ELLEN I'LL BE LATE.
I'LL TAKE CARE OF IT.
AHH, I'LL TELL YOU, THOUGH,
IT'S LIKE THE MAN SAYS...
WE GOTTA QUIT SEEIN' EACH
OTHER THIS WAY, DONNA.
I AIN'T COMPLAININ'.
I WANT MORE OF YOU
THAN JUST NIGHTS IN A BAR
OR A MOTEL, YOU KNOW.
MMM. WELL, WHAT IF
THAT'S ALL THERE IS?
WELL, THAT JUST CAN'T BE, NOW.
WHY DON'T WE GO AWAY SOMEPLACE?
TAKE A WEEK.
REALLY GET TO KNOW EACH
OTHER, HAVE SOME FUN.
IT'S GETTIN' KIND
OF SERIOUS FOR ME.
BEFORE WE GO A
WHOLE LOT FURTHER,
I THINK WE BETTER FIGURE
OUT WHERE WE WANNA END UP.
HEY, DONNA. HOW YOU DOIN'?
J.R., UH, HOW ARE YOU DOIN'?
OH, WELL, JUST FINE, JUST FINE.
THOUGHT I'D SNEAK OUT OF THE
OFFICE AND DO A LITTLE BUYIN'.
YOU, UH, LOOKIN' FOR
SOMETHING FOR SAM?
OH, NO, I WAS JUST DOIN'
SOME WINDOW-SHOPPING.
OH, YEAH?
WELL, IT WAS, UH,
NICE SEEIN' YOU. BYE.
SAY, DONNA?
DONNA, YOU KNOW, I
WAS REAL SURPRISED
WHEN SAM INTRODUCED
YOU AS HIS WIFE.
YEAH, MOST PEOPLE ARE,
BUT, UH, THEY GET OVER IT.
OH, I'M NOT
TALKIN' AGAINST IT...
NO, I THINK IT'S PROBABLY
THE BEST THING IN THE WORLD
EVER HAPPENED TO HIM
TO HAVE A PRETTY YOUNG
LADY LIKE YOU FOR A WIFE.
WELL, HE SEEMS HAPPY.
YEAH, I SUPPOSE THERE'S A
LOT OF ADVANTAGES FOR HIM.
I CAN SEE WHERE THERE WOULD
BE ADVANTAGES FOR YOU, TOO.
I BET YOU CAN.
COURSE, I SUPPOSE THERE
WOULD BE DRAWBACKS...
UH, NAMELY, HIS AGE.
I HATE TO TELL YOU, BUT
THAT'S NOT REALLY ORIGINAL.
YOU SEE, YOU'RE
NOT THE FIRST PERSON
TO POINT OUT THAT A YOUNG,
HEALTHY WOMAN LIKE MYSELF
COULDN'T POSSIBLY HAVE
A HAPPY SEX LIFE WITH SAM.
NO, I DON'T SUPPOSE
IT'S ORIGINAL,
BUT I... I DO SUPPOSE IT'S TRUE.
WELL, AND I GUESS
YOU THINK THAT,
UH, YOU ARE JUST THE MAN
TO FILL MY LONELY HOURS.
OH, ME? NO, NO, NO.
I'M A MARRIED MAN.
I BELIEVE IN THE
SANCTITY OF MARRIAGE.
AH. WELL, YOU'RE
GONNA HAVE TO TELL ME
WHAT ALL THIS IS LEADING TO.
YOU KNOW, A FUNNY THING
HAPPENED TO ME LAST
NIGHT ON THE WAY HOME.
I WAS ON MY TO THE
RANCH... IT WAS PRETTY LATE...
OLD RAY KREBBS' PICKUP TRUCK
JUST CAME BARRELIN' PAST ME,
DOIN' WELL OVER THE SPEED LIMIT.
SO, I... I THOUGHT SOMETHING
MIGHT BE WRONG, SEE.
SO I DID A U-TURN,
AND I FOLLOWED HIM,
AND... AND YOU CAN IMAGINE
HOW SURPRISED I WAS
WHEN ALL HE DID WAS TURN
IN TO THE STARLIGHT MOTEL.
AND I BET YOU WERE SO SURPRISED,
YOU JUST HUNG AROUND LONG ENOUGH
TO FIND OUT WHO HE WAS MEETIN'.
WELL, I ALWAYS
WAS A CURIOUS ONE.
RAY HAS HAD SOME UNFORTUNATE
ROMANTIC EXPERIENCES
IN HIS PAST,
AND I JUST WOULDN'T WANT
THAT OLD BOY TO GET HURT AGAIN.
SO?
SO I CAN'T UNDERSTAND HIM
FOOLIN' AROUND WITH
A MARRIED WOMAN.
YOU CAN CUT OUT
ALL THIS NONSENSE
ABOUT CARING WHETHER
RAY GETS HURT OR NOT.
I MEAN, WHAT YOU
REALLY WANT IS SOMETHING
IN EXCHANGE FOR NOT
TELLING SAM, RIGHT?
WHO, ME TELL SAM?
OH, NO, NEVER, NEVER.
I DON'T THINK HE'D
TAKE KINDLY TO ANYBODY
WHO TOLD HIM THAT HIS
WIFE WAS FOOLIN' AROUND.
I ESPECIALLY DON'T THINK
HE'D TAKE KINDLY TO THE EWINGS
WHEN HE FOUND OUT
IT WAS THEIR FOREMAN
THAT SHE WAS
FOOLIN' AROUND WITH.
WELL, YOU'RE GONNA HAVE
TO SPELL IT OUT FOR ME, J.R.
I MEAN, YOU'RE JUST
WAY OVER MY HEAD.
SAM IS ON THE FENCE BETWEEN
THE EWINGS AND THE O.L.M.,
AND I WANT YOU TO TELL HIM
THAT TAKIN' THE POWER AWAY
FROM THE O.L.M. WOULD BE A FINE IDEA.
AND IN RETURN?
RAY WILL NEVER FIND OUT
FROM ME WHO YOU ARE.
YOU KNOW, IF HE GOT
A BROKEN HEART AGAIN,
HE JUST MIGHT GO
OFF THE DEEP END.
I DON'T KNOW WHAT HE'D
DO TO YOU OR TO SAM.
OH, DO YOU THINK I
CARE IF YOU TELL RAY?
I READ PEOPLE PRETTY WELL.
YES, I THINK YOU
CARE QUITE A LOT.
MATTER OF FACT,
I'M BANKIN' ON IT.
WELL, THERE'S THE LITTLE
STORE I WAS LOOKIN' FOR.
I THINK I'LL GO AND BUY
MY WIFE SOME TRINKETS.
YOU HAVE A NICE DAY.
WELL, I DON'T KNOW.
WELL, COME ON, IT'S
GONNA BE A GREAT PARTY.
TOMMY SAID SOME GUYS
ARE COMIN' OVER FROM PLANO!
YOU GUYS, I THOUGHT
WE WERE JUST GONNA
FOOL AROUND HERE
FOR A LITTLE WHILE.
OH, WHY STAY HERE
WHEN THERE'S A PARTY?
COME ON. THESE
REALLY PEPPED YOU UP
THE OTHER DAY, DIDN'T THEY?
YEAH, IT DID MAKE
ME FEEL PRETTY GOOD.
WELL, ONE MORE ISN'T
GONNA HURT YOU ANY.
COME ON, HOW'S IT GONNA BE A
PARTY WITHOUT THE FOUR OF US?
ALL RIGHT, BUT THOSE GUYS
FROM PLANO BETTER BE CUTE.
YEAH. WHY?
I WAS JUST GETTIN' READY.
WHERE?
IS SOMETHING WRONG?
ALL RIGHT.
SEE YOU THERE.
EVENIN', DADDY.
J.R.
WHAT YOU GOT THERE?
OH, JUST SOME BREEDING REPORTS.
LOOKS LIKE RAY'S
GONNA START STOCKING
THAT LAND OF HIS.
IS THAT A FACT?
WELL, GOOD FOR HIM.
I OUGHT TO LOOK HIM UP AND
SEE IF I CAN GIVE HIM A HAND.
WELL, I'M SURE HE'D
APPRECIATE THAT.
OH, UH, HAVE YOU HEARD ANYTHING
FROM SAM CULVER YET?
NO, SIR, NOT TODAY...
BUT, UH, THINK I'LL BE
HEARIN' FROM HIM SHORTLY.
I FEEL GOOD ABOUT THIS, DADDY.
HEY, SUGAR.
HI.
MMM.
I FEEL KIND OF FUNNY
MEETIN' YOU OUT HERE
IN THE OPEN LIKE THIS.
YEAH.
IT'S THE FIRST TIME, ISN'T IT?
YEAH. I KIND OF LIKE IT, THOUGH.
DID YOU EVER WONDER WHY?
WELL, YOU KNOW I HAVE.
BUT YOU NEVER ASKED.
WELL, NOT BECAUSE
I DIDN'T WANT TO.
MAYBE I WAS AFRAID
OF THE ANSWER.
ANYWAY, I FIGURED YOU'D TELL ME
WHEN YOU WERE READY TO.
WELL, UH... RAY, I'M,
UH... I'M LEAVING DALLAS.
LEAVIN' OR RUNNIN'?
YOU'RE NOT GONNA LET ME DO
THIS THE EASY WAY, ARE YOU?
WELL, YOU KNOW, I NEVER
FOUND AN EASY WAY.
OK. I'M MARRIED, RAY.
I HAVE BEEN FOR NEARLY 3 YEARS.
SO, YOU LOVE YOUR HUSBAND?
THAT'S A STRANGE QUESTION.
IT'S THE BEST ONE I KNOW
TO FIND OUT WHERE I STAND.
I CARE FOR HIM A GREAT DEAL.
HE'S, UH... AN OLDER MAN...
VERY RICH, UH...
VERY POWERFUL.
HIS NAME IS SAM CULVER.
OH, SO YOU JUST GO OUT
AND FIND YOURSELF A
NICE, YOUNG STUD, HUH?
GOOD OLD RAY KREBBS.
HEY, THAT ISN'T THE TRUTH.
IF THAT'S ALL THAT
I WAS LOOKING FOR,
I'M GONNA TELL YOU,
IT WOULD'VE HAPPENED WITH
SOMEBODY WAY BEFORE NOW,
BUT IT DIDN'T.
NOT UNTIL YOU.
SUPPOSED TO MAKE ME FEEL BETTER?
IT IS SUPPOSED TO
MAKE YOU UNDERSTAND
HOW VERY SPECIAL YOU
ARE TO ME... AND YOU ARE!
SO, WHAT ARE YOU GONNA DO?
I TOLD SAM THAT I
WAS LEAVING HIM...
THAT I LOVED HIM BUT I
WASN'T IN LOVE WITH HIM.
HOW'D HE TAKE THAT?
HE SAID THAT I'D
GIVEN HIM A NEW LIFE...
THAT HE... HE KNEW IT
WOULDN'T LAST FOREVER.
HE ASKED ME IF, UH... IF
THERE WAS ANYTHING I NEEDED,
WISHED ME WELL.
I ALMOST TOLD HIM I'D STAY.
ARE YOU GONNA DIVORCE HIM?
MM-HMM.
WELL, THEN DON'T
LEAVE. STAY HERE.
GIVE US SOME TIME.
LET'S SEE HOW WE
FEEL ABOUT EACH OTHER.
BUT I CAN'T! I AM SO CONFUSED
ABOUT WHAT'S GOING
ON IN MY LIFE RIGHT NOW
THAT I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO,
AND I'M NOT PROUD OF WHAT
I'VE DONE TO YOU OR SAM.
AND I JUST NEED
SOME TIME TO FIND OUT
IF I'M READY TO
MAKE A COMMITMENT.
DONNA, WE CAN WORK
THIS OUT TOGETHER.
OHH! OHH.
YOU ARE SUCH A GOOD MAN.
YOU HAVE SO MUCH
TO OFFER A WOMAN,
I CAN'T EVEN BEGIN TO TELL YOU.
DON'T YOU KNOW THAT
YOU HAVE MADE ME
SEE MY LIFE FOR
WHAT IT REALLY IS?
I MEAN, THAT'S WHY
I CAN LEAVE SAM.
I'M NOT GONNA BE GONE FOREVER.
AND, UH... WELL,
WHEN I COME BACK...
I MEAN, IF, UH... IF YOU'RE
STILL INTERESTED...
I'LL BE HERE.
I JUST THINK IT'S
ONE OF THOSE THINGS
WE JUST HAVE TO LIVE WITH...
NOTHIN' TO WORRY ABOUT,
AS FAR AS I'M CONCERNED.
J.R., YOU GOT A PHONE
CALL FROM SAM CULVER.
OH, YEAH. THANK YOU.
HELLO, SAM?
HOW YOU DOIN'?
J.R., I WANTED TO GIVE YOU
MY ANSWER ON THE O.L.M.
WELL, YES, SIR.
DONNA AND I HAD
QUITE A TALK YESTERDAY
ABOUT EWING OIL AND THE O.L.M.
OH, GOOD. GOOD, I'M HAPPY
YOU CAME TO A DECISION
SO QUICKLY.
WELL, I DON'T THINK YOU WILL BE.
DONNA TOLD ME TO TELL YOU
SHE THINKS THE O.L.M.'s
DOIN' AN EXCELLENT JOB.
SO DO I.
CLIFF BARNES IS GONNA
GET MY FULL SUPPORT.
DO ME GOOD TO GET
A LITTLE MORE ACTIVE.
WELL, I'D, UH, CERTAINLY
LIKE AN OPPORTUNITY
TO TALK TO YOU IN PRIVATE.
I THINK I COULD
CHANGE YOUR MIND.
THERE'S NOTHING YOU
CAN TELL ME DONNA HASN'T.
GIVE MY BEST TO
YOUR MAMA AND DADDY.
WHAT DID HE HAVE TO SAY, J.R.?
WELL, IT LOOKS LIKE WE
STILL HAVE CLIFF BARNES
AND O.L.M. ON OUR BACKS.
DAMN!
YES.
MORNIN', EVERYONE.
HI, RAY, HOW'S IT GOIN'?
ALL RIGHT.
FACT IS, I WANTED TO KNOW
IF YOU STILL HAD THOSE
HOUSE PLANS AROUND.
I THINK I HAVE A
COPY IN THE CAR.
LET'S GO TAKE A LOOK.
FIGURE I FIND SOMETHING I LIKE,
IT WOULD TAKE A YEAR
OR SO TO BUILD, RIGHT?
WELL, ABOUT THAT.
DOES THIS HAVE SOMETHING TO
DO WITH THAT NEW LADY OF YOURS?
WELL, THAT DIDN'T WORK
OUT, BOBBY, AT LEAST NOT YET.
MORE IMPORTANT, THOUGH,
IS I LEARNED
SOMETHING THIS TIME.
LIKE WHAT?
WELL, THAT I COULD REALLY
CARE FOR SOMEBODY AGAIN.
I TELL YOU, THAT'S
A DAMN FINE FEELIN'.
