Dallas (1978–1991): Season 2, Episode 5 - Black Market Baby - full transcript
After over seven years of futility of becoming a mother, Sue Ellen decides to attempt adoption behind JR's back. After finding a young woman who's willing to give up her baby, Sue Ellen unexpectedly bonds with the young lady. Bobby is not too thrilled at the prospect of his wife, Pamela, turning down the idea of a baby while contemplating the idea of returning to the work force.
I WANNA HAVE A
BABY WHEN I'M YOUNG!
YOU GOT EVERYTHING!
YOU GOT YOUR BUSINESS,
AND I GOT NOTHING!
I GOTTA HAVE SOMETHING
TO HOLD ON TO.
ALL RIGHT, DARLING.
I'LL BUY YOU A PUPPY.
YOU DO WANT A BABY, DON'T YOU?
THERE IS A YOUNG GIRL
WHO IS 7 MONTHS PREGNANT.
I'M GOING TO BE
PAYING A LOT OF MONEY,
AND I DON'T WANT ANY MISTAKES.
YOU ARE MY WIFE.
BUT NOT THE KIND OF
WIFE THAT I WANNA BE.
YEAH, WE'RE GONNA
FIX THAT RIGHT NOW.
RIGHT NOW I CAN'T STAND
TO HAVE YOU TOUCH ME.
CAPTIONING MADE
POSSIBLE BY WARNER BROS.
Jock: OUR ANNIVERSARY,
THAT WAS LAST WEEK,
WASN'T IT, MISS ELLIE?
Miss Ellie: YOU REMEMBERED!
NO WONDER I STUCK
WITH YOU ALL THESE YEARS.
[LAUGHTER]
Lucy: OPEN UP YOUR
PRESENTS, GRANDPA.
THIS WEIGHS A TON.
BOBBY, HELP YOUR DADDY.
I'VE GOT IT, MISS ELLIE.
JUST DON'T BABY ME HERE.
I DON'T SEE NO CARD.
FORGET THE CARD, PAMMY?
IT'S NOT FROM US.
IT'S FROM J.R. AND ME.
OH, I DIDN'T RECOGNIZE
THE WRAP, THERE. [AHEM]
WHAT'D YOU DO WITH THE CARD?
IT'S IN THE BOX.
WHAT THE HELL IS IT?
IT'S AN ANTIQUE, BY
AN ITALIAN SCULPTOR.
I THOUGHT IT'D LOOK
NICE IN THE DEN.
YES, IT WILL.
IT'S LOVELY, SUE
ELLEN. THANK YOU.
MAMA, THIS ONE IS FROM
PAMELA AND MYSELF.
OH, HOW NICE.
OH, BOBBY.
IT'S BEAUTIFUL!
HA! LOOK, JOCK.
ALL THE CHILDREN WHEN
THEY WERE GROWING UP.
OH, LOOK AT LITTLE
LUCY. WASN'T SHE CUTE?
I THINK I LOOK DUMB.
OH, LUCY, YOU WERE BEAUTIFUL.
GRANDMA, YOU'D SAY
THAT ABOUT ANY BABY.
THERE HAVEN'T BEEN
ANY BABIES IN THIS HOUSE
FOR A... LONG TIME NOW.
WELL, J.R. AND I
ARE ABOUT TO START
A FAMILY ANY DAY NOW.
WELL, YOU'VE BEEN
PLANNIN' IT FOR 7 YEARS.
I JUST ABOUT GIVE UP ON YA.
YOU KNOW, PAMELA
WENT TO THE DOCTOR
THIS AFTERNOON.
ANYTHING WRONG, PAMELA?
OH, NO. IN FACT, I'M FINE.
THE DOCTOR SAID THAT, UM...
WE COULD START
PLANNING TO HAVE A BABY.
THAT'S WONDERFUL.
WELL, THAT'S THE BEST DAMN NEWS
I'VE HEARD IN A LONG TIME.
ELLIE, MAKE SURE
YOU GOT SOME EXTRA
PAGES IN THAT BOOK.
MIGHT NEED IT ANY TIME NOW.
OH, WELL, NOT ANY TIME SOON.
IT DEPENDS ON HOW
SOON WE GET STARTED.
Miss Ellie: BOBBY!
I SWEAR, THE YOUNGER GENERATION
WILL SAY ANYTHING,
ANYTIME, ANYPLACE.
I'M SORRY, MAMA.
WELL, ARE WE GONNA EAT THIS CAKE
OR ARE WE GONNA
SAVE IT UNTIL NEXT YEAR?
FIRST, I WANNA MAKE A TOAST.
TO MY HUSBAND, FOR ALL
THE WONDERFUL YEARS
AND BEAUTIFUL MEMORIES
YOU'VE GIVEN ME.
AND TO OUR FAMILY.
AND... FUTURE EWINGS.
HEAR, HEAR.
HEAR, HEAR.
[CLOCK CHIMING]
Bobby: HONEY, WHAT WAS
THAT ALL ABOUT DOWN THERE?
I THOUGHT YOU WANTED A BABY.
WELL, I DO, BUT
WE'RE STILL YOUNG.
WE'RE STILL LEARNING
ABOUT EACH OTHER.
WE'VE GOT PLENTY
OF TIME FOR KIDS.
IT DEPENDS ON HOW MUCH TIME
YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT, YOU KNOW.
I LOVE YOU.
REMEMBER I SAID THAT.
DOES THAT MEAN WE'RE
GOING TO HAVE AN ARGUMENT?
NO.
IT'S JUST, I DON'T WANT
US TO HAVE CHILDREN
UNTIL IT'S RIGHT FOR BOTH OF US.
YOU KNOW? NOT BECAUSE
THE FAMILY WANTS US TO
OR JUST FOR ANOTHER EWING HEIR.
HONEY, YOU KNOW
WE BOTH FEEL THE
SAME WAY ABOUT THAT.
LOOK, IF LIVING HERE
WHILE YOU'RE PREGNANT,
OR HAVING A BABY
HERE AT SOUTHFORK
IS GONNA BE A PROBLEM,
THEN WE DON'T HAVE TO STAY.
WE CAN BUY A HOUSE
ANYWHERE WE WANT.
THERE'S NO REASON
WE HAVE TO RAISE OUR BABY HERE.
I DON'T WANNA SEPARATE
YOU FROM YOUR FAMILY.
YOU LOVE IT HERE, AND
THIS IS WHERE WE LIVE.
AND, EVENTUALLY,
THIS IS WHERE WE'RE
GONNA HAVE OUR BABY.
WHY EVENTUALLY?
BECAUSE LATELY I DON'T KNOW
IF I'M READY TO HAVE A BABY YET.
I RAN INTO LIZ
CRAIG AT THE STORE.
SHE OFFERED ME A JOB.
HONEY, WHY ARE YOU
LOOKING FOR A JOB?
WELL, I WASN'T, BUT
SHE'S OFFERED ME ONE.
AND THAT'S WHY YOU
DON'T WANNA HAVE A BABY,
BECAUSE OF A JOB?
NO.
THERE'S MORE TO IT THAN THAT.
BOBBY, I LOVE BEING
MARRIED TO YOU,
BUT THERE'S SO MUCH
I WANNA FIND OUT
AND DO FOR MYSELF.
YOU DIDN'T MARRY
ANOTHER SUE ELLEN.
SOMETIMES I GET THE
FEELING IF J.R. DIDN'T EXIST,
SHE'D JUST DISAPPEAR
INTO A PUFF OF SMOKE.
COME ON, NOW.
ALL RIGHT, WELL, MAYBE
I'M EXAGGERATING,
BUT SUE ELLEN DOES
WHAT SHE CAN DO,
BUT I CAN'T LIVE THAT WAY.
ARE YOU TRYING TO TELL ME
THAT WORKING WITH
LIZ CRAIG AT THE STORE
IS YOUR KIND OF LIFE?
YEAH.
NO.
OH, I DON'T HAVE
THE ANSWERS YET.
CAN WE TABLE THIS DISCUSSION?
I DON'T EVEN KNOW
WHAT THE JOB IS
OR IF I LIKE IT.
BUT, HONEY, IF YOU WANNA WORK,
I'LL PUT YOU TO WORK.
WATERING HORSES.
HARD WORK, FRESH AIR, LUNCH...
THANKS A LOT.
PLEASE TRY TO UNDERSTAND.
HONEY, I DO UNDERSTAND.
I JUST DON'T KNOW IF I AGREE.
COME TO BED.
I'M NOT TIRED.
PAMELA AND BOBBY ARE GONNA HAVE
A WHOLE FLOCK OF CHILDREN
BEFORE WE EVEN HAVE ONE.
DOES THAT BOTHER YOU?
PAM DIDN'T SEEM SO
ANXIOUS TO HAVE A CHILD.
YOUR FATHER BLAMES ME
BECAUSE WE DON'T
HAVE ANY CHILDREN,
AND I DON'T LIKE THE
WAY HE LOOKS AT ME.
THERE IS NOTHING
WRONG WITH ME, J.R.
I HAD SOME TESTS.
YOU WHAT?
7 YEARS IS A LONG TIME, J.R.,
AND THERE'S NOTHING
WRONG WITH ME.
I'VE ASKED YOU TO
GO TO THE DOCTOR.
I'M NOT TAKING ANY TESTS.
WELL, MAYBE THERE'S A PROBLEM.
THERE'S NO PROBLEM, SUE ELLEN.
THEN PROVE IT.
I'VE TOLD YOU
HOW I FEEL ABOUT THIS
TYPE OF CONVERSATION.
MAYBE THE EWING MAN I MARRIED...
ISN'T ALL THE MAN
THAT HE CLAIMS TO BE.
WHERE ARE YOU GOING?
YOU BETTER STOP
DRINKING, SUE ELLEN.
THERE'S NOTHING UGLIER
THAN A WOMAN WHO
CAN'T HANDLE HER LIQUOR.
YOU CAN'T KEEP
RUNNING OUT ON ME!
J.R., YOU CAN'T WALK OUT ON ME.
YOU KNOW HOW THAT MAKES ME FEEL?
I WANNA HAVE A
BABY WHEN I'M YOUNG!
YOU GOT EVERYTHING!
YOU GOT YOUR BUSINESS,
AND I GOT NOTHING!
I GOTTA HAVE SOMETHING
TO HOLD ON TO.
ALL RIGHT, DARLING.
I'LL BUY YOU A PUPPY.
THAT'S THE LAST TIME
YOU DO THAT TO ME, J.R!
THE LAST TIME! I MEAN IT!
MRS. EWING.
IS EVERYTHING ALL RIGHT?
EVERYTHING'S JUST FINE, RAY.
J-JUST FINE.
YOU KNOW, YOU'RE GONNA
CATCH YOURSELF A COLD
DRESSED LIKE THAT OUT HERE.
NOT IF I CAN GET
SOMETHING TO WARM ME.
YOU GOT ANYTHING TO
DRINK AT YOUR HOUSE, RAY?
COME ON, MRS. EWING.
I THINK WE OUGHTA
GET YOU INSIDE NOW.
YOU'RE GONNA FEEL
LIKE HELL TOMORROW.
WELL, I'M FEELING
BETTER EVERY SECOND.
IS THERE ANYTHING
I CAN DO FOR YA?
I THINK SO.
[HORSE NEIGHS]
WOULD YOU LIKE
SOMETHING ELSE, MRS. EWING?
NO, THANK YOU.
MORNING.
HOW YA FEELING?
ARE YOU OK, SUE ELLEN?
MRS. EWING.
MRS. EWING, RAY.
MRS. EWING? WHAT
ABOUT LAST NIGHT?
I DON'T KNOW WHAT
YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT.
YOU WERE RIGHT, SUE ELLEN.
THAT PIECE OF SCULPTURE
IS REALLY LOVELY.
I'M GLAD YOU LIKE IT.
YOU KNOW, SUE ELLEN,
WHEN JACK AND I
WERE FIRST MARRIED,
WE HAD PROBLEMS, TOO.
THEN I HAD J.R.
SOMEHOW CHILDREN
MAKE IT ALL SEEM MORE PERMANENT.
I'D LIKE TO HAVE A
CHILD, MISS ELLIE,
BUT J.R. AND I HAVEN'T
HAD MUCH LUCK.
7 YEARS IS A LONG
TIME TO CALL IT LUCK.
THERE ARE OTHER
WAYS TO HAVE A CHILD.
LIKE ADOPTION?
MM-HMM.
DON'T YOU THINK THAT IT
WOULD UPSET JOCK AND J.R.
IF I SUDDENLY BROUGHT IN A
BABY THAT WASN'T A EWING?
YOU LEAVE JOCK TO ME.
IF A CHILD CAN HELP
YOUR MARRIAGE,
THEN YOU DO WHAT YOU HAVE TO DO.
MRS. EWING? I'M BARBARA
WALSH. WON'T YOU COME IN?
I'M SORRY TO KEEP YOU WAITING.
IT'S BEEN ONE OF THOSE DAYS.
WON'T YOU SIT DOWN?
WOULD YOU LIKE SOME COFFEE?
NO, THANK YOU. OK.
WELL, I'VE JUST GOT A FEW
PRELIMINARY QUESTIONS
I'VE GOTTA ASK YOU
BEFORE WE START
PROCESSING YOUR FILE.
I NEED YOU AND YOUR
HUSBAND'S FULL NAMES.
SUE ELLEN.
OK.
AND JOHN ROSS EWING, JR.
EWING OIL.
YES. MY FATHER-IN-LAW
STARTED THE COMPANY.
WELL, THAT CERTAINLY
MIGHT SPEED THINGS UP.
WE'VE GOT A LOT OF LITTLE KIDS
WHO'D LOVE TO JOIN
THE EWING FAMILY.
HOW LONG HAVE YOU BEEN MARRIED?
7 YEARS.
MM-HMM. AND DO YOU
HAVE ANY CHILDREN NOW?
NO.
ALL RIGHT.
WHAT KIND OF A CHILD
ARE WE LOOKING FOR?
A NEWBORN. A BABY.
MRS. EWING,
MOST PEOPLE WHO COME IN
HERE SEEM TO WANT NEWBORNS.
I TRY TO DISCOURAGE IT.
SO MANY SINGLE MOTHERS
ARE KEEPING THEIR BABIES NOW,
AND WITH ABORTION AND THE PILL,
WELL, THE SUPPLY
IS VERY LIMITED.
IT COULD TAKE A LONG TIME.
HOW LONG?
AS LONG AS 3 YEARS.
I'M STILL FILLING
QUOTAS FROM 1975.
WELL... I DIDN'T REALIZE.
WHY DON'T YOU TAKE
THE FORMS HOME WITH YOU
AND DISCUSS IT FURTHER
WITH YOUR HUSBAND?
YOU MIGHT FIND AN
OLDER CHILD ACCEPTABLE.
NO. NO, I REALLY...
I MEAN, WE REALLY
WANTED A NEWBORN.
THANK YOU.
[DOOR OPENS]
[DOOR CLOSES]
[RING]
Woman: CONNORS AND ASSOCIATES.
MR. CONNORS, PLEASE.
[BUZZER]
Man: B.J. CONNORS.
Barbara: BUZZ, THIS
IS BARBARA WALSH.
SOMEBODY JUST
CAME INTO MY OFFICE
I THINK YOU MIGHT
BE ABLE TO HELP.
WHO IS IT?
MRS. JOHN EWING
JR. OF EWING OIL.
EWING OIL?
THAT'S RIGHT.
GIVE ME THE NUMBER.
I CAN ALWAYS LEND
A HAND TO A EWING.
[NEIGHS]
Bobby: NOW, HONEY,
THAT LOOKS REAL PRETTY,
BUT I CAN'T PUT YOU
TO WORK LIKE THAT.
VERY FUNNY. I'M
GONNA HAVE THE CAR.
I JUST WANTED YOU TO KNOW
I'M GOING INTO TOWN.
YOU'RE GONNA DO SOME SHOPPING?
MM-MMM. I'M GONNA MEET LIZ.
LIZ CRAIG? HONEY,
I THOUGHT WE SETTLED
THAT LAST NIGHT.
WE DIDN'T SETTLE ANYTHING.
YOU GAVE ME YOUR OPINION.
RAY, I'LL BE WITH
YOU IN A MINUTE.
HONEY, I DON'T WANT YOU
TO TAKE SOME CRUMMY JOB
FOR 250 BUCKS A WEEK.
HOW ABOUT 350?
PAMELA, YOU DON'T NEED TO WORK.
ARE YOU TELLING ME WHAT I NEED?
NO, I'M JUST TELLING
YOU WHAT I THINK IS BEST.
WHAT'S BEST FOR BOBBY EWING.
WELL, WHAT ABOUT ME?
BOBBY, I NEED TO DO SOMETHING.
WELL, I DON'T WANT
YOU TO DO THIS.
YOU KNOW, SOMETIMES YOU SHOW
A LOT OF YOUR
DADDY'S CUSSEDNESS,
AND THIS IS ONE OF THOSE DAYS!
WHEN YOU GONNA MAKE THE
ANNOUNCEMENT, OLD BUDDY?
END OF THE WEEK.
I THINK YOU'RE CRAZY
RUNNING FOR THE STATE SENATE.
YOU COULD GET YOURSELF
A REAL FINE LAW PRACTICE
GOING RIGHT ABOUT NOW.
HEY, COME ON, BUZZ.
I'M NOT GOING INTO THIS
THING BLIND, YOU KNOW?
I MADE A BIT OF A
NAME FOR MYSELF
AS COMMITTEE COUNSEL.
I SLOWED THE EWINGS DOWN.
A LOT OF PEOPLE WOULD VOTE
FOR ME JUST BECAUSE OF THAT.
I'M NOT REALLY SAYING
YOU SHOULDN'T RUN.
BUT I AM SAYING YOU
OUGHT TO GET YOURSELF
AS GOOD AN
ORGANIZATION AS POSSIBLE.
BUZZ, I GOT TO ASK
YOU TO DO ME A FAVOR.
ALL RIGHT.
COME OUT FOR MY OPPONENT.
NOW WAIT A MINUTE.
IT'S NOTHING PERSONAL.
IT'S JUST I KNOW
WHAT KIND OF LAW YOU PRACTICE.
WELL, NOBODY EVER SAID I
COULDN'T TAKE A HINT. HA!
SPEAKING OF THE EWINGS,
THERE'S PAM'S SISTER-IN-LAW.
MS. EWING! MS. EWING!
DO YOU KNOW HER?
WE GOT A BUSINESS APPOINTMENT.
WELL, WHY IS A
EWING COMING TO YOU?
WELL, IT'S A PERSONAL MATTER.
YEAH. BUT THEIR
CORPORATE LAWYERS
HANDLE THEIR PERSONAL MATTERS.
YOU'RE A LAWYER, CLIFF.
YOU KNOW I CAN'T TELL
YOU ANYTHING ABOUT THIS.
STRICTLY CONFIDENTIAL.
MS. EWING, MY
NAME'S BUZZ CONNORS.
THIS IS CLIFF BARNES.
CLIFF BARNES!
I'VE HEARD A LOT ABOUT YOU.
OH, I'M SURE YOU HAVE.
I CAN'T IMAGINE
ANY OF IT HAVING BEEN FAVORABLE.
WELL, YOU'RE MUCH
MORE ATTRACTIVE
THAN YOUR REPUTATION.
YOU'RE FAR TOO
PRETTY TO BE A EWING.
CLIFF WAS JUST LEAVING.
I'LL TALK TO YOU IN
ABOUT A WEEK, ALL RIGHT?
RIGHT.
IT'S NICE TO MEET
YOU, MRS. EWING.
SUE ELLEN.
SUE ELLEN.
SEE YOU, OLD BOY.
[SIGHS]
WHAT IS HE DOING HERE?
RELAX, MS. EWING. IT'S
STRICTLY CONFIDENTIAL.
NEVER DISCUSS MY CASES WITH
FRIENDS OR OTHER LAWYERS.
DO YOU WANT TO GO INSIDE?
I HAVE TAKEN THE
LIBERTY OF DRAWING UP
THE NECESSARY PAPERS.
WELL, I HAVEN'T AGREED
TO ANYTHING YET.
I KNOW THAT, BUT I THINK IT'S
IMPORTANT THAT YOU UNDERSTAND
THAT THIS IS A LEGAL
PRIVATE ADOPTION.
WELL, I THOUGHT
BABY-BUYING WAS ILLEGAL.
[SIGHS]
Buzz: AHH, THANK YOU.
LET'S GET ONE THING
STRAIGHT, MS. EWING.
YOU DO WANT A BABY, DON'T YOU?
HOW IS IT THAT YOU'RE
ABLE TO GET BABIES
AND THE AGENCIES AREN'T?
EVERY DAY, THOUSANDS OF GIRLS
GO INTO FREE CLINICS
FOR ABORTIONS.
I'M NOT SAYING
THAT THAT'S WRONG,
BUT THIS DOES
REPRESENT AN ALTERNATIVE.
BUT I DON'T THINK I
UNDERSTAND THAT.
SOME OF THOSE GIRLS
WANT TO HAVE THEIR BABIES,
BUT THEY DON'T WANT TO
BECOME INVOLVED WITH AN AGENCY
IF THEY DECIDE TO PUT
THE CHILD UP FOR ADOPTION.
SO PEOPLE WITH ENOUGH MONEY,
LIKE YOU AND YOUR HUSBAND,
CAN GET BABIES RIGHT AWAY
WITHOUT GOING THROUGH THE
USUAL BUREAUCRATIC RED TAPE.
WELL, HOW MUCH IS
THIS GONNA COST ME?
$15,000.
WELL, IT'S A LOT OF MONEY,
AND WHAT IS THAT FOR?
EXPENSES.
IT'S VERY EXPENSIVE TO HAVE
A BABY NOWADAYS, MS. EWING,
WHAT WITH THE HOSPITAL COSTS
AND THE MOTHER HAS
TO HAVE A PLACE TO LIVE
UNTIL THE BABY'S BORN, YOU KNOW,
AND, OF COURSE, THERE
ARE MY FEES AND EXPENSES.
WHAT DO I HAVE TO DO?
THERE IS A YOUNG GIRL
WHO IS 7 MONTHS PREGNANT.
SHE NEEDS MONEY VERY BADLY
'CAUSE SHE HAS
NO FAMILY IN TOWN.
I WANT TO MEET HER.
MS. EWING, I'D
ADVISE AGAINST THAT.
IT COULD BE VERY UPSETTING
TO BOTH YOU AND THE
YOUNG GIRL TO MEET.
MR. CONNORS,
I'M GOING TO BE
PAYING A LOT OF MONEY,
AND I DON'T WANT ANY MISTAKES.
I WANT TO MEET THE MOTHER.
ARE YOU RITA BRIGGS?
UH-HUH.
I'M SUE ELLEN EWING.
MR. CONNORS...
I KNOW WHO YOU ARE.
YOU WANT A ROOT BEER?
NO, THANK YOU.
GOOD. 'CAUSE THIS
IS THE LAST ONE,
AND I DON'T FEEL LIKE SHARING.
YOU GOT A LOT OF MONEY.
YES, I GUESS SO.
WHY DON'T YOU HAVE
YOUR OWN BABY?
IS SOMETHING WRONG WITH YOU?
NO.
YOUR HUSBAND, HUH?
WHY DON'T YOU DUMP HIM?
YOU AFRAID YOU
MIGHT LOSE HIS MONEY?
YOU GOT A CIGARETTE?
NO. I DON'T SMOKE.
I DON'T THINK YOU SHOULD
BE SMOKING EITHER.
I'VE BEEN DOING A
PRETTY GOOD JOB
CARRYING THIS BABY FOR 7 MONTHS,
AND DON'T THINK YOU'RE
WALKING IN HERE AND TAKING OVER.
THIS ISN'T YOUR BABY YET.
MY BEING HERE... IT WAS MY IDEA.
I WANT TO KNOW YOU.
YEAH, I KNOW. HE TOLD ME.
WHAT, YOU WANT
ME TO TURN AROUND,
SEE ME FROM ALL ANGLES?
THIS WOULD BE A LOT EASIER
IF WE COULD BE FRIENDS.
FRIENDS?!
I DON'T LIKE YOU.
I DON'T LIKE ANY OF THIS.
IF I WASN'T SO DUMB,
I... I COULD BE HOME
NOW WITH MY OWN KIND.
RITA, I WANT YOU TO
KNOW THAT I UNDERSTAND.
YOU UNDERSTAND.
YOU GOT ALL THE
MONEY IN THE WORLD.
THERE'S NOTHING YOU CAN'T BUY,
EVEN MY BABY.
YOU MET ME. NOW GET OUT OF HERE.
RITA, IS THERE
ANYTHING YOU NEED?
THERE'S A LOT OF THINGS I NEED.
NOTHING I WANT
FROM YOU, THANK YOU.
WELL, LET ME BUY
YOU SOME GROCERIES.
AT LEAST I CAN BUY YOU
A 6-PACK OF ROOT BEER.
MAYBE I CAN GET YOU AN APARTMENT
WITH SOME MORE ROOM.
PLEASE.
I WANT TO HELP.
ALL RIGHT.
YOU GET ME A BETTER PLACE,
THE KIND OF
APARTMENT YOU'D LIVE IN.
I WANT THE BEST,
'CAUSE, LADY, YOU ARE
GETTING EVERYTHING I GOT.
ALL RIGHT.
I'LL MAKE ALL THE ARRANGEMENTS.
MAYBE WITH A LITTLE LUCK,
YOU CAN MOVE IN THIS WEEKEND.
[DOOR CLOSES]
MORNING, DADDY.
Jock: HEY, WHAT
DO YOU SAY, BOBBY?
HA! I'M GONNA TELL YOU,
YOU'RE GETTING TO
BE QUITE A RANCHER,
UP AT THE CRACK OF
DAWN, EVEN ON SATURDAY.
WELL, SOMETHING WRONG
WITH ONE OF THOSE
IRRIGATION PUMPS.
YEAH?
RAY SHOULD BE BACK ANY
MINUTE WITH THOSE PARTS.
I SAW HIM DRIVE IN JUST
A FEW MINUTES AGO.
GOOD.
NOW, BOBBY. YEAH?
DO YOU GOT A
PROBLEM WITH PAMELA?
NOTHING I CAN'T HANDLE.
OK, OK.
I DON'T WANT TO BUTT
IN, JUST WONDERING.
OK.
MORNING, BOBBY.
GOOD MORNING, MAMA.
HERE. IT'S TIME FOR THIS.
WHAT'S THE MATTER
WITH YOU AND PAMELA?
OH, NOT YOU, TOO.
I'M JUST NOT USED TO SEEING
YOU TWO SITTING AT DINNER
AND NOT TALKING TO EACH OTHER.
IT'S JUST A LITTLE THING, MAMA,
AND WE'LL SETTLE IT.
WELL, NOT TODAY. SHE
TOOK OFF THIS MORNING.
TOOK OFF?
WHERE WOULD SHE GO WITHOUT YOU
ON A SATURDAY?
ONLY ONE PLACE SHE
WOULD GO... TAKE A JOB.
A JOB?
WHAT DOES SHE NEED A JOB FOR?
EWING WOMEN DON'T WORK.
WELL, DADDY, PAMELA
DOESN'T CONSIDER
HERSELF A EWING WOMAN,
AND SHE WANTS A JOB.
WELL, I DON'T SEE ANYTHING WRONG
WITH STAYING HOME
AND HAVING BABIES.
WELL, THERE'S
NOTHING WRONG WITH IT,
IF THE TIME IS RIGHT.
YOU WERE HAPPY ENOUGH
WHEN SHE WAS PREGNANT BEFORE.
YES, I WAS.
BUT MAYBE WE DIDN'T THINK
ABOUT IT ENOUGH BEFORE,
ABOUT HOW A BABY
WOULD TIE HER DOWN.
HMM! A BABY AIN'T GONNA
TIE YOU DOWN
NONE. BESIDES, IT'D BE
THE BEST THING IN
THE WORLD FOR PAM.
NO, SIR, IT WOULDN'T,
NOT RIGHT NOW.
YOU MEAN TO TELL ME
THAT YOU LIKE THE
IDEA OF HER WORKING?
NO, I'M NOT SAYING
I LIKE IT, DADDY.
I'M JUST SAYING THAT IF PAMELA
NEEDS A LITTLE MORE TIME
BEFORE SHE HAS A BABY,
THEN I GUESS I CAN
GET USED TO THE IDEA.
WELL, THE NEXT THING
I KNOW, YOU'LL BE TELLING ME
THAT SHE'LL WANT TO GO
IN THE CONSTRUCTION
BUSINESS AGAIN.
NO, NOT JUST NOW.
I'VE HAD ENOUGH
AGGRAVATION FOR ONE MORNING.
BYE, MAMA.
KIDS.
HOW DO YOU FIGURE THEM OUT?
HA! YOU DON'T.
THAT'S WHAT MAKES
THEM SO FASCINATING.
WELL, THIS IS THE LAST OF IT.
IT'S A GOOD THING THIS
PLACE IS FURNISHED.
MY STUFF WOULDN'T
EVEN FILL THE KITCHEN.
DO YOU LIKE IT?
IT'S ALL RIGHT.
BEDROOM'S A LITTLE CRAMPED.
YOU LOOK VERY PRETTY
IN YOUR BATHING SUIT.
GIVE ME THAT!
WHO SAID YOU COULD
GO THROUGH MY THINGS?
WELL, I'M SORRY.
YOU SPENT A COUPLE BUCKS ON ME,
YOU THINK YOU CAN OWN ME?
THAT'S FROM A BEAUTY
CONTEST, ISN'T IT?
MAYBE.
I WAS IN A BEAUTY PAGEANT ONCE.
OH, YEAH? WHICH ONE?
MISS TEXAS.
SO BIG DEAL. I WAS IN
THE MISS TEEN TEXAS ONE.
HOW'D YOU DO?
I WAS VOTED MISS CONGENIALITY.
THAT MEANS THEY LIKED ME.
HOW'D YOU DO?
WELL, I WAS VOTED MISS TEXAS.
I KNEW IT, I KNEW IT! I...
YOU ALWAYS GET WHAT
YOU WANT, DON'T YOU?
WELL, I DIDN'T GET MISS AMERICA.
I DIDN'T EVEN MAKE
IT TO THE FINALS.
DID YOU CRY?
YEAH.
I CRIED FOR 3 DAYS.
I... I CRIED WHEN I LOST, TOO.
UM, WHY DON'T WE
HAVE A LITTLE LUNCH?
MRS. EWING,
YOU DON'T GOT TO KEEP
HANGING AROUND HERE, YOU KNOW?
I KNOW IT, BUT I WANT TO.
LET'S GO.
WELL, YOU WERE HAVING
DOUBTS THE OTHER DAY.
OHH, MY FEET.
YOU TALKED ABOUT BOBBY,
THE FACT THAT HE DIDN'T
WANT YOU TO WORK.
WELL, WE RESOLVED
THOSE PROBLEMS...
WITH AN EVENING OF SILENCE.
OH, NOW, LOOK. HOLD IT, HONEY.
IF YOU'RE HAVING PROBLEMS
WITH BOBBY OVER THIS,
MAYBE YOU'D BETTER THINK AGAIN.
I DON'T HAVE ANY PROBLEMS.
AHA, HE HAS.
HE HAS.
UH-HUH. HA HA! NOW, LOOK.
I DON'T WANT TO COME
BETWEEN YOU TWO.
IT'S NOT BEING A FRIEND.
BESIDES, IT'S... NOT
GOOD FOR THE STORE.
OH, LIZ, I LOVE BOBBY.
WE FIGHT BECAUSE
WE'RE INDIVIDUALS.
WE'LL WORK THIS OUT.
WE WILL.
[SIGHS]
ALL RIGHT. YOU HAVE A JOB.
I'LL CALL YOU AND TELL
YOU WHEN YOU START.
OK.
SUE ELLEN?
PAM!
HI.
A FRIEND OF MINE
IS HAVING A BABY. SHOWER GIFTS.
WELL, THEY'RE BEAUTIFUL.
SHE'S A LUCKY FRIEND.
YEAH, YEAH.
WHAT COLOR IS THE
BABY'S ROOM GONNA BE?
UH, RITA, THIS IS
MY SISTER-IN-LAW
PAM EWING.
THIS IS RITA, PAM.
HELLO, RITA.
HI.
GREEN IS A NICE COLOR.
WHY DON'T YOU SEE IF YOU CAN
FIND SOMETHING TO GO WITH GREEN?
OK.
I'M INVOLVED IN
THIS CHARITY THING.
BIG SISTERHOOD.
HAVEN'T YOU HEARD OF IT?
MM-HMM.
WELL, SHE DOESN'T HAVE ANYBODY.
I JUST THOUGHT
I'D GET HER A COUPLE OUTFITS.
I THINK WHAT YOU'RE
DOING IS LOVELY, SUE ELLEN.
I GOT TO GO. I'LL SEE YOU LATER.
OK.
[CAR APPROACHING]
HEY, RAY!
WHY DON'T YOU GET YOUR
TRUNKS ON? WE'LL GO SWIMMING.
WHO NEEDS TRUNKS?
I GOT A LOT OF WORK TO DO.
OH, COME ON! NO ONE'S AROUND.
BESIDES, I WON'T
TELL IF YOU DON'T.
HEY, RAY.
J.R.
YOU GOT SOME WORK TO DO?
YES, SIR.
AHEM.
HI, HONEY.
WHY DON'T YOU PUT
SOME CLOTHES ON
WHEN THE HELP'S AROUND?
TRYING TO GET A TAN.
WHAT DO YOU WANT ME
TO DO, WEAR A TURTLENECK?
YOU SEEN SUE ELLEN AROUND HERE?
DID YOU GUYS HAVE A FIGHT?
NO, HONEY. WE DON'T FIGHT.
SHE'S BEEN ACTING
REALLY WEIRD LATELY.
SHE'S BEEN OUT
EVERY DAY THIS WEEK.
WELL, SHE HAS A LOT
TO KEEP HER BUSY.
HMM. THIS MAN BUZZ CALLED
HER A COUPLE OF TIMES.
SO?
YESTERDAY, A LADY CALLED UP
ABOUT A CLEANING
DEPOSIT ON AN APARTMENT
THAT A MRS. EWING RENTED...
SUE ELLEN EWING.
WHAT'D YOU SAY HIS NAME WAS?
BUZZ. BUZZ CONNORS.
WHY DID YOU LIE ABOUT ME?
I HEARD WHAT YOU TOLD
YOUR SISTER-IN-LAW.
NOW WHAT'S THE MATTER?
YOU TOO EMBARRASSED
OF ME TO TELL THE TRUTH?
MY HUSBAND DOES NOT KNOW
ABOUT THIS ARRANGEMENT.
YOU'RE BUYING A BABY,
AND YOU HAVEN'T
TOLD YOUR HUSBAND?
NOW WHAT'S HE GONNA DO
WHEN YOU GO WALKING
IN WITH MY BABY?
IT'LL BE TOO LATE FOR
HIM TO DO ANYTHING.
WELL, DOESN'T HE WANT A BABY?
YOU DON'T KNOW MY HUSBAND.
HE'S A VERY DIFFICULT MAN.
IF HE KNOWS ABOUT
IT, HE'LL STOP IT.
WELL, WHAT IF HE FINDS OUT?
HE WON'T... NOT
UNTIL IT'S TOO LATE.
HELLO, CHUCK?
I'M SORRY. I DIDN'T MEAN TO
BOTHER YOU ON A SATURDAY.
YEAH. THERE'S A LITTLE SOMETHING
I WANT YOU TO DO FOR ME.
YEAH. HIS NAME IS BUZZ CONNORS,
AND THERE'S AN APARTMENT I
WANT YOU TO CHECK OUT FOR ME.
6245 WEST STREET.
MM-HMM. NOW, YOU
KNOW MY WIFE, DON'T YOU?
I WANT YOU TO FIND
OUT WHAT SHE'S UP TO,
AND I WANT YOU TO FIND
OUT JUST AS SOON AS YOU CAN.
[TELEPHONE RINGS]
[RING]
[RING]
HELLO.
MRS. EWING?
UH-HUH?
MR. CONNORS CALLED,
AND HE WANTS TO
KNOW WHAT HOSPITAL
YOU WANT THE BABY BORN IN.
DOESN'T MATTER TO
ME. YOU'RE PAYING FOR IT.
MRS. EWING?
I'M SORRY. I THINK YOU
HAVE THE WRONG MRS. EWING.
MAY I COME IN?
SOME MORE BIG SISTERHOOD WORK?
WHAT EXACTLY IS IT
THAT YOU WANT, PAMELA?
I WANT TO TALK
TO YOU, SUE ELLEN.
I THINK I KNOW WHAT'S GOING ON
WITH ALL OF THIS.
ARE YOU SURE YOU
KNOW WHAT YOU'RE DOING?
AM I NOW GETTING
ADVICE FROM A SHOP GIRL?
THIS SHOP GIRL
JUST TOOK A PHONE
CALL FOR YOU BY MISTAKE.
IT WAS FROM SOME GIRL
WANTING TO KNOW WHAT HOSPITAL
YOU WANT YOUR BABY BORN IN.
WE'RE ADOPTING A BABY.
THAT WASN'T AN ADOPTION
BUREAU I TALKED TO.
IT WAS PROBABLY THAT GIRL
I MET YOU SHOPPING WITH.
WHAT DO YOU KNOW ABOUT ALL THIS?
YOU CAN HAVE A BABY
ANY TIME YOU WANT ONE.
WHAT DO YOU KNOW ABOUT
WANTING TO HAVE A BABY
AND NOT BEING ABLE TO GET ONE?
WELL, I WENT TO AN
ADOPTION AGENCY,
AND THEY SAID I'D HAVE
TO WAIT FOR 3 YEARS.
WELL, I CAN'T WAIT FOR 3 YEARS.
WHY ARE YOU SO FRIGHTENED
THAT I'LL HAVE THE FIRST BABY?
THIS ISN'T A CONTEST.
IT DOESN'T MATTER
WHO HAS THE FIRST CHILD.
WELL, YOU TELL
THAT TO JOCK AND J.R.
J.R. DOESN'T KNOW ABOUT THIS?
NO... AND I DON'T
WANT YOU TO TELL HIM
BECAUSE I WANT THAT BABY,
AND NOBODY'S GONNA STOP ME,
NOT YOU, NOT JOCK, AND NOT J.R.
SUE ELLEN... PAMELA,
THIS IS NONE OF YOUR BUSINESS.
NONE OF YOUR BUSINESS.
RITA!
RITA!
RITA?
ARE YOU ALL RIGHT?
RITA?
[DOOR OPENS]
[DOOR CLOSES]
WHAT HAVE YOU DONE WITH HER?
RITA IS ON A BUS TO CALIFORNIA.
[DOOR OPENS]
[DOOR CLOSES]
Sue Ellen: YOU PROMISED ME.
YOU TOLD ME YOU
WOULDN'T TELL HIM!
SUE ELLEN, WHAT'S WRONG?
YOU TOLD HIM, AND
HE SENT HER AWAY!
WHO?
I SWEAR I DIDN'T.
J.R. IS RIGHT.
YOU ARE NOTHING
BUT A CHEAP HUSSY.
Miss Ellie: SUE ELLEN!
I DON'T WANT ANY MORE OF
THAT KIND OF TALK, SUE ELLEN.
YOU'D DO ANYTHING TO
MAKE POINTS WITH THIS FAMILY.
WELL, YOU CAN HAVE IT!
YOU CAN HAVE EWING OIL,
AND YOU CAN HAVE
THIS WHOLE DAMN RANCH,
'CAUSE I HAVE HAD IT!
WHAT'S GOING ON?
WHEN I ASK A QUESTION,
I DESERVE AN ANSWER.
I'M GETTING OUT.
YOU PUT ALL THIS STUFF AWAY.
YOU'RE NOT GOING ANYWHERE.
YOU CAN'T BUY YOUR
WAY OUT OF THIS ONE, J.R.
DARLING, I HAD TO PUT AN
END TO THAT BABY BUSINESS.
DO YOU WANT TO EMBARRASS US?
HUMILIATE US IN FRONT
OF MY WHOLE FAMILY?
I THOUGHT HAVING A BABY
WAS GONNA MAKE THINGS BETTER
BETWEEN YOU AND I.
WELL, NOTHING CAN.
DON'T YOU THINK I WANT A
BABY JUST AS MUCH AS YOU DO?
WELL, I DO.
BUT I WANT IT TO BE OUR
CHILD, NOT SOMEBODY ELSE'S.
[LAUGHS]
HOW ARE WE GONNA
HAVE A CHILD, HUH?
YOU HAVEN'T
TOUCHED ME IN MONTHS.
DO YOU KNOW HOW
THAT MAKES ME FEEL?
THAT MAKES ME FEEL LIKE NOTHING,
LIKE IT IS MY FAULT
THAT WE DON'T HAVE A CHILD!
OH, COME ON, MISS TEXAS.
DON'T YOU EVER DO THAT AGAIN!
LET GO OF ME!
DON'T YOU TOUCH ME.
YOU ARE MY WIFE.
YEAH, BUT NOT THE KIND OF WIFE
THAT I WANT TO BE.
WELL, WE'RE GONNA
FIX THAT RIGHT NOW.
LIKE HELL!
RIGHT NOW, I CAN'T STAND
TO HAVE YOU TOUCH ME!
YOU'LL GET OVER
THAT SOON ENOUGH.
[MOANING]
IS THAT WHAT YOU WANT?
SOMEONE WHO DOESN'T WANT YOU?
I DON'T WANT YOU.
I DON'T WANT YOU!
I DON'T WANT YOU.
I DON'T WANT YOU.
WHAT ARE WE DOING, BOBBY?
IT'LL JUST TAKE A
SECOND. COME ON.
WELL, I WANTED TO...
OK, CLOSE YOUR EYES.
CLOSE YOUR EYES.
WATCH YOUR STEP.
COME ON, COME ON. COME
WITH ME. HANG ON TIGHT.
WHAT HAVE YOU DONE? COME ON. OH!
HA HA HA!
COME ON NOW.
OH, BOBBY.
JUST A LITTLE BIT FURTHER.
IT'S NOT MUCH FARTHER.
OK. ARE YOU READY NOW?
WHAT?
JUST HOLD STILL.
ON THE COUNT OF 3.
1... 1... 2... 2... 3.3.
TA-DA!
BOBBY!
WELL, I FIGURED
IF YOU HAD A JOB,
YOU COULDN'T KEEP
BORROWING MY CAR ALL THE TIME...
OH! IT'S BEAUTIFUL!
OH!
WELL, YOU JUST GONNA STARE AT IT
OR YOU GONNA TAKE ME FOR A RIDE?
YOU LIKE LIVING ON THE LINE?
GO EASY WITH ME NOW.
REMEMBER, MY LIFE
IS IN YOUR HANDS.
WHOO!
YOU READY?
YUP.
[TIRES SCREECHING]
WELL, I SEE BOBBY
BOUGHT PAM A NEW TOY.
GOING INTO TOWN.
YOU WANT ANYTHING?
MM-MMM. NO.
HMM?
WELL, I'LL PROBABLY
BE WORKING LATE TONIGHT, ANYWAY.

YOU GOT EVERYTHING!
YOU GOT YOUR BUSINESS,
AND I GOT NOTHING!
I GOTTA HAVE SOMETHING
TO HOLD ON TO.
ALL RIGHT, DARLING.
I'LL BUY YOU A PUPPY.
YOU DO WANT A BABY, DON'T YOU?
THERE IS A YOUNG GIRL
WHO IS 7 MONTHS PREGNANT.
I'M GOING TO BE
PAYING A LOT OF MONEY,
AND I DON'T WANT ANY MISTAKES.
YOU ARE MY WIFE.

Jock: OUR ANNIVERSARY,
THAT WAS LAST WEEK,
WASN'T IT, MISS ELLIE?
Miss Ellie: YOU REMEMBERED!
NO WONDER I STUCK
WITH YOU ALL THESE YEARS.
[LAUGHTER]
Lucy: OPEN UP YOUR
PRESENTS, GRANDPA.
THIS WEIGHS A TON.
BOBBY, HELP YOUR DADDY.
I'VE GOT IT, MISS ELLIE.
JUST DON'T BABY ME HERE.
I DON'T SEE NO CARD.
FORGET THE CARD, PAMMY?
IT'S NOT FROM US.
IT'S FROM J.R. AND ME.
OH, I DIDN'T RECOGNIZE
THE WRAP, THERE. [AHEM]
WHAT'D YOU DO WITH THE CARD?
IT'S IN THE BOX.
WHAT THE HELL IS IT?
IT'S AN ANTIQUE, BY
AN ITALIAN SCULPTOR.
I THOUGHT IT'D LOOK
NICE IN THE DEN.
YES, IT WILL.
IT'S LOVELY, SUE
ELLEN. THANK YOU.
MAMA, THIS ONE IS FROM
PAMELA AND MYSELF.
OH, HOW NICE.
OH, BOBBY.
IT'S BEAUTIFUL!
HA! LOOK, JOCK.
ALL THE CHILDREN WHEN
THEY WERE GROWING UP.
OH, LOOK AT LITTLE
LUCY. WASN'T SHE CUTE?
I THINK I LOOK DUMB.
OH, LUCY, YOU WERE BEAUTIFUL.
GRANDMA, YOU'D SAY
THAT ABOUT ANY BABY.
THERE HAVEN'T BEEN
ANY BABIES IN THIS HOUSE
FOR A... LONG TIME NOW.
WELL, J.R. AND I
ARE ABOUT TO START
A FAMILY ANY DAY NOW.
WELL, YOU'VE BEEN
PLANNIN' IT FOR 7 YEARS.
I JUST ABOUT GIVE UP ON YA.
YOU KNOW, PAMELA
WENT TO THE DOCTOR
THIS AFTERNOON.
ANYTHING WRONG, PAMELA?
OH, NO. IN FACT, I'M FINE.
THE DOCTOR SAID THAT, UM...
WE COULD START
PLANNING TO HAVE A BABY.
THAT'S WONDERFUL.
WELL, THAT'S THE BEST DAMN NEWS
I'VE HEARD IN A LONG TIME.
ELLIE, MAKE SURE
YOU GOT SOME EXTRA
PAGES IN THAT BOOK.
MIGHT NEED IT ANY TIME NOW.
OH, WELL, NOT ANY TIME SOON.
IT DEPENDS ON HOW
SOON WE GET STARTED.
Miss Ellie: BOBBY!
I SWEAR, THE YOUNGER GENERATION
WILL SAY ANYTHING,
ANYTIME, ANYPLACE.
I'M SORRY, MAMA.
WELL, ARE WE GONNA EAT THIS CAKE
OR ARE WE GONNA
SAVE IT UNTIL NEXT YEAR?
FIRST, I WANNA MAKE A TOAST.
TO MY HUSBAND, FOR ALL
THE WONDERFUL YEARS
AND BEAUTIFUL MEMORIES
YOU'VE GIVEN ME.
AND TO OUR FAMILY.
AND... FUTURE EWINGS.
HEAR, HEAR.
HEAR, HEAR.
[CLOCK CHIMING]
Bobby: HONEY, WHAT WAS
THAT ALL ABOUT DOWN THERE?
I THOUGHT YOU WANTED A BABY.
WELL, I DO, BUT
WE'RE STILL YOUNG.
WE'RE STILL LEARNING
ABOUT EACH OTHER.
WE'VE GOT PLENTY
OF TIME FOR KIDS.
IT DEPENDS ON HOW MUCH TIME
YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT, YOU KNOW.
I LOVE YOU.
REMEMBER I SAID THAT.
DOES THAT MEAN WE'RE
GOING TO HAVE AN ARGUMENT?
NO.
IT'S JUST, I DON'T WANT
US TO HAVE CHILDREN
UNTIL IT'S RIGHT FOR BOTH OF US.
YOU KNOW? NOT BECAUSE
THE FAMILY WANTS US TO
OR JUST FOR ANOTHER EWING HEIR.
HONEY, YOU KNOW
WE BOTH FEEL THE
SAME WAY ABOUT THAT.
LOOK, IF LIVING HERE
WHILE YOU'RE PREGNANT,
OR HAVING A BABY
HERE AT SOUTHFORK
IS GONNA BE A PROBLEM,
THEN WE DON'T HAVE TO STAY.
WE CAN BUY A HOUSE
ANYWHERE WE WANT.
THERE'S NO REASON
WE HAVE TO RAISE OUR BABY HERE.
I DON'T WANNA SEPARATE
YOU FROM YOUR FAMILY.
YOU LOVE IT HERE, AND
THIS IS WHERE WE LIVE.
AND, EVENTUALLY,
THIS IS WHERE WE'RE
GONNA HAVE OUR BABY.
WHY EVENTUALLY?
BECAUSE LATELY I DON'T KNOW
IF I'M READY TO HAVE A BABY YET.
I RAN INTO LIZ
CRAIG AT THE STORE.
SHE OFFERED ME A JOB.
HONEY, WHY ARE YOU
LOOKING FOR A JOB?
WELL, I WASN'T, BUT
SHE'S OFFERED ME ONE.
AND THAT'S WHY YOU
DON'T WANNA HAVE A BABY,
BECAUSE OF A JOB?
NO.
THERE'S MORE TO IT THAN THAT.
BOBBY, I LOVE BEING
MARRIED TO YOU,
BUT THERE'S SO MUCH
I WANNA FIND OUT
AND DO FOR MYSELF.
YOU DIDN'T MARRY
ANOTHER SUE ELLEN.
SOMETIMES I GET THE
FEELING IF J.R. DIDN'T EXIST,
SHE'D JUST DISAPPEAR
INTO A PUFF OF SMOKE.
COME ON, NOW.
ALL RIGHT, WELL, MAYBE
I'M EXAGGERATING,
BUT SUE ELLEN DOES
WHAT SHE CAN DO,
BUT I CAN'T LIVE THAT WAY.
ARE YOU TRYING TO TELL ME
THAT WORKING WITH
LIZ CRAIG AT THE STORE
IS YOUR KIND OF LIFE?
YEAH.
NO.
OH, I DON'T HAVE
THE ANSWERS YET.
CAN WE TABLE THIS DISCUSSION?
I DON'T EVEN KNOW
WHAT THE JOB IS
OR IF I LIKE IT.
BUT, HONEY, IF YOU WANNA WORK,
I'LL PUT YOU TO WORK.
WATERING HORSES.
HARD WORK, FRESH AIR, LUNCH...
THANKS A LOT.
PLEASE TRY TO UNDERSTAND.
HONEY, I DO UNDERSTAND.
I JUST DON'T KNOW IF I AGREE.
COME TO BED.
I'M NOT TIRED.
PAMELA AND BOBBY ARE GONNA HAVE
A WHOLE FLOCK OF CHILDREN
BEFORE WE EVEN HAVE ONE.
DOES THAT BOTHER YOU?
PAM DIDN'T SEEM SO
ANXIOUS TO HAVE A CHILD.
YOUR FATHER BLAMES ME
BECAUSE WE DON'T
HAVE ANY CHILDREN,
AND I DON'T LIKE THE
WAY HE LOOKS AT ME.
THERE IS NOTHING
WRONG WITH ME, J.R.
I HAD SOME TESTS.
YOU WHAT?
7 YEARS IS A LONG TIME, J.R.,
AND THERE'S NOTHING
WRONG WITH ME.
I'VE ASKED YOU TO
GO TO THE DOCTOR.
I'M NOT TAKING ANY TESTS.
WELL, MAYBE THERE'S A PROBLEM.
THERE'S NO PROBLEM, SUE ELLEN.
THEN PROVE IT.
I'VE TOLD YOU
HOW I FEEL ABOUT THIS
TYPE OF CONVERSATION.
MAYBE THE EWING MAN I MARRIED...
ISN'T ALL THE MAN
THAT HE CLAIMS TO BE.
WHERE ARE YOU GOING?
YOU BETTER STOP
DRINKING, SUE ELLEN.
THERE'S NOTHING UGLIER
THAN A WOMAN WHO
CAN'T HANDLE HER LIQUOR.
YOU CAN'T KEEP
RUNNING OUT ON ME!
J.R., YOU CAN'T WALK OUT ON ME.
YOU KNOW HOW THAT MAKES ME FEEL?
I WANNA HAVE A
BABY WHEN I'M YOUNG!
YOU GOT EVERYTHING!
YOU GOT YOUR BUSINESS,
AND I GOT NOTHING!
I GOTTA HAVE SOMETHING
TO HOLD ON TO.
ALL RIGHT, DARLING.
I'LL BUY YOU A PUPPY.
THAT'S THE LAST TIME
YOU DO THAT TO ME, J.R!
THE LAST TIME! I MEAN IT!
MRS. EWING.
IS EVERYTHING ALL RIGHT?
EVERYTHING'S JUST FINE, RAY.
J-JUST FINE.
YOU KNOW, YOU'RE GONNA
CATCH YOURSELF A COLD
DRESSED LIKE THAT OUT HERE.
NOT IF I CAN GET
SOMETHING TO WARM ME.
YOU GOT ANYTHING TO
DRINK AT YOUR HOUSE, RAY?
COME ON, MRS. EWING.
I THINK WE OUGHTA
GET YOU INSIDE NOW.
YOU'RE GONNA FEEL
LIKE HELL TOMORROW.
WELL, I'M FEELING
BETTER EVERY SECOND.
IS THERE ANYTHING
I CAN DO FOR YA?
I THINK SO.
[HORSE NEIGHS]
WOULD YOU LIKE
SOMETHING ELSE, MRS. EWING?
NO, THANK YOU.
MORNING.
HOW YA FEELING?
ARE YOU OK, SUE ELLEN?
MRS. EWING.
MRS. EWING, RAY.
MRS. EWING? WHAT
ABOUT LAST NIGHT?
I DON'T KNOW WHAT
YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT.
YOU WERE RIGHT, SUE ELLEN.
THAT PIECE OF SCULPTURE
IS REALLY LOVELY.
I'M GLAD YOU LIKE IT.
YOU KNOW, SUE ELLEN,
WHEN JACK AND I
WERE FIRST MARRIED,
WE HAD PROBLEMS, TOO.
THEN I HAD J.R.
SOMEHOW CHILDREN
MAKE IT ALL SEEM MORE PERMANENT.
I'D LIKE TO HAVE A
CHILD, MISS ELLIE,
BUT J.R. AND I HAVEN'T
HAD MUCH LUCK.
7 YEARS IS A LONG
TIME TO CALL IT LUCK.
THERE ARE OTHER
WAYS TO HAVE A CHILD.
LIKE ADOPTION?
MM-HMM.
DON'T YOU THINK THAT IT
WOULD UPSET JOCK AND J.R.
IF I SUDDENLY BROUGHT IN A
BABY THAT WASN'T A EWING?
YOU LEAVE JOCK TO ME.
IF A CHILD CAN HELP
YOUR MARRIAGE,
THEN YOU DO WHAT YOU HAVE TO DO.
MRS. EWING? I'M BARBARA
WALSH. WON'T YOU COME IN?
I'M SORRY TO KEEP YOU WAITING.
IT'S BEEN ONE OF THOSE DAYS.
WON'T YOU SIT DOWN?
WOULD YOU LIKE SOME COFFEE?
NO, THANK YOU. OK.
WELL, I'VE JUST GOT A FEW
PRELIMINARY QUESTIONS
I'VE GOTTA ASK YOU
BEFORE WE START
PROCESSING YOUR FILE.
I NEED YOU AND YOUR
HUSBAND'S FULL NAMES.
SUE ELLEN.
OK.
AND JOHN ROSS EWING, JR.
EWING OIL.
YES. MY FATHER-IN-LAW
STARTED THE COMPANY.
WELL, THAT CERTAINLY
MIGHT SPEED THINGS UP.
WE'VE GOT A LOT OF LITTLE KIDS
WHO'D LOVE TO JOIN
THE EWING FAMILY.
HOW LONG HAVE YOU BEEN MARRIED?
7 YEARS.
MM-HMM. AND DO YOU
HAVE ANY CHILDREN NOW?
NO.
ALL RIGHT.
WHAT KIND OF A CHILD
ARE WE LOOKING FOR?
A NEWBORN. A BABY.
MRS. EWING,
MOST PEOPLE WHO COME IN
HERE SEEM TO WANT NEWBORNS.
I TRY TO DISCOURAGE IT.
SO MANY SINGLE MOTHERS
ARE KEEPING THEIR BABIES NOW,
AND WITH ABORTION AND THE PILL,
WELL, THE SUPPLY
IS VERY LIMITED.
IT COULD TAKE A LONG TIME.
HOW LONG?
AS LONG AS 3 YEARS.
I'M STILL FILLING
QUOTAS FROM 1975.
WELL... I DIDN'T REALIZE.
WHY DON'T YOU TAKE
THE FORMS HOME WITH YOU
AND DISCUSS IT FURTHER
WITH YOUR HUSBAND?
YOU MIGHT FIND AN
OLDER CHILD ACCEPTABLE.
NO. NO, I REALLY...
I MEAN, WE REALLY
WANTED A NEWBORN.
THANK YOU.

Man: B.J. CONNORS.
Barbara: BUZZ, THIS
IS BARBARA WALSH.
SOMEBODY JUST
CAME INTO MY OFFICE
I THINK YOU MIGHT
BE ABLE TO HELP.
WHO IS IT?
MRS. JOHN EWING
JR. OF EWING OIL.
EWING OIL?
THAT'S RIGHT.
GIVE ME THE NUMBER.
I CAN ALWAYS LEND
A HAND TO A EWING.
[NEIGHS]
Bobby: NOW, HONEY,
THAT LOOKS REAL PRETTY,
BUT I CAN'T PUT YOU
TO WORK LIKE THAT.
VERY FUNNY. I'M
GONNA HAVE THE CAR.
I JUST WANTED YOU TO KNOW
I'M GOING INTO TOWN.
YOU'RE GONNA DO SOME SHOPPING?
MM-MMM. I'M GONNA MEET LIZ.
LIZ CRAIG? HONEY,
I THOUGHT WE SETTLED
THAT LAST NIGHT.
WE DIDN'T SETTLE ANYTHING.
YOU GAVE ME YOUR OPINION.
RAY, I'LL BE WITH
YOU IN A MINUTE.
HONEY, I DON'T WANT YOU
TO TAKE SOME CRUMMY JOB
FOR 250 BUCKS A WEEK.
HOW ABOUT 350?
PAMELA, YOU DON'T NEED TO WORK.
ARE YOU TELLING ME WHAT I NEED?
NO, I'M JUST TELLING
YOU WHAT I THINK IS BEST.
WHAT'S BEST FOR BOBBY EWING.
WELL, WHAT ABOUT ME?
BOBBY, I NEED TO DO SOMETHING.
WELL, I DON'T WANT
YOU TO DO THIS.
YOU KNOW, SOMETIMES YOU SHOW
A LOT OF YOUR
DADDY'S CUSSEDNESS,
AND THIS IS ONE OF THOSE DAYS!
WHEN YOU GONNA MAKE THE
ANNOUNCEMENT, OLD BUDDY?
END OF THE WEEK.
I THINK YOU'RE CRAZY
RUNNING FOR THE STATE SENATE.
YOU COULD GET YOURSELF
A REAL FINE LAW PRACTICE
GOING RIGHT ABOUT NOW.
HEY, COME ON, BUZZ.
I'M NOT GOING INTO THIS
THING BLIND, YOU KNOW?
I MADE A BIT OF A
NAME FOR MYSELF
AS COMMITTEE COUNSEL.
I SLOWED THE EWINGS DOWN.
A LOT OF PEOPLE WOULD VOTE
FOR ME JUST BECAUSE OF THAT.
I'M NOT REALLY SAYING
YOU SHOULDN'T RUN.
BUT I AM SAYING YOU
OUGHT TO GET YOURSELF
AS GOOD AN
ORGANIZATION AS POSSIBLE.
BUZZ, I GOT TO ASK
YOU TO DO ME A FAVOR.
ALL RIGHT.
COME OUT FOR MY OPPONENT.
NOW WAIT A MINUTE.
IT'S NOTHING PERSONAL.
IT'S JUST I KNOW
WHAT KIND OF LAW YOU PRACTICE.
WELL, NOBODY EVER SAID I
COULDN'T TAKE A HINT. HA!
SPEAKING OF THE EWINGS,
THERE'S PAM'S SISTER-IN-LAW.
MS. EWING! MS. EWING!
DO YOU KNOW HER?
WE GOT A BUSINESS APPOINTMENT.
WELL, WHY IS A
EWING COMING TO YOU?
WELL, IT'S A PERSONAL MATTER.
YEAH. BUT THEIR
CORPORATE LAWYERS
HANDLE THEIR PERSONAL MATTERS.
YOU'RE A LAWYER, CLIFF.
YOU KNOW I CAN'T TELL
YOU ANYTHING ABOUT THIS.
STRICTLY CONFIDENTIAL.
MS. EWING, MY
NAME'S BUZZ CONNORS.
THIS IS CLIFF BARNES.
CLIFF BARNES!
I'VE HEARD A LOT ABOUT YOU.
OH, I'M SURE YOU HAVE.
I CAN'T IMAGINE
ANY OF IT HAVING BEEN FAVORABLE.
WELL, YOU'RE MUCH
MORE ATTRACTIVE
THAN YOUR REPUTATION.
YOU'RE FAR TOO
PRETTY TO BE A EWING.
CLIFF WAS JUST LEAVING.
I'LL TALK TO YOU IN
ABOUT A WEEK, ALL RIGHT?
RIGHT.
IT'S NICE TO MEET
YOU, MRS. EWING.
SUE ELLEN.
SUE ELLEN.
SEE YOU, OLD BOY.
[SIGHS]
WHAT IS HE DOING HERE?
RELAX, MS. EWING. IT'S
STRICTLY CONFIDENTIAL.
NEVER DISCUSS MY CASES WITH
FRIENDS OR OTHER LAWYERS.
DO YOU WANT TO GO INSIDE?
I HAVE TAKEN THE
LIBERTY OF DRAWING UP
THE NECESSARY PAPERS.
WELL, I HAVEN'T AGREED
TO ANYTHING YET.
I KNOW THAT, BUT I THINK IT'S
IMPORTANT THAT YOU UNDERSTAND
THAT THIS IS A LEGAL
PRIVATE ADOPTION.
WELL, I THOUGHT
BABY-BUYING WAS ILLEGAL.
[SIGHS]
Buzz: AHH, THANK YOU.
LET'S GET ONE THING
STRAIGHT, MS. EWING.
YOU DO WANT A BABY, DON'T YOU?
HOW IS IT THAT YOU'RE
ABLE TO GET BABIES
AND THE AGENCIES AREN'T?
EVERY DAY, THOUSANDS OF GIRLS
GO INTO FREE CLINICS
FOR ABORTIONS.
I'M NOT SAYING
THAT THAT'S WRONG,
BUT THIS DOES
REPRESENT AN ALTERNATIVE.
BUT I DON'T THINK I
UNDERSTAND THAT.
SOME OF THOSE GIRLS
WANT TO HAVE THEIR BABIES,
BUT THEY DON'T WANT TO
BECOME INVOLVED WITH AN AGENCY
IF THEY DECIDE TO PUT
THE CHILD UP FOR ADOPTION.
SO PEOPLE WITH ENOUGH MONEY,
LIKE YOU AND YOUR HUSBAND,
CAN GET BABIES RIGHT AWAY
WITHOUT GOING THROUGH THE
USUAL BUREAUCRATIC RED TAPE.
WELL, HOW MUCH IS
THIS GONNA COST ME?
$15,000.
WELL, IT'S A LOT OF MONEY,
AND WHAT IS THAT FOR?
EXPENSES.
IT'S VERY EXPENSIVE TO HAVE
A BABY NOWADAYS, MS. EWING,
WHAT WITH THE HOSPITAL COSTS
AND THE MOTHER HAS
TO HAVE A PLACE TO LIVE
UNTIL THE BABY'S BORN, YOU KNOW,
AND, OF COURSE, THERE
ARE MY FEES AND EXPENSES.
WHAT DO I HAVE TO DO?
THERE IS A YOUNG GIRL
WHO IS 7 MONTHS PREGNANT.
SHE NEEDS MONEY VERY BADLY
'CAUSE SHE HAS
NO FAMILY IN TOWN.
I WANT TO MEET HER.
MS. EWING, I'D
ADVISE AGAINST THAT.
IT COULD BE VERY UPSETTING
TO BOTH YOU AND THE
YOUNG GIRL TO MEET.
MR. CONNORS,
I'M GOING TO BE
PAYING A LOT OF MONEY,
AND I DON'T WANT ANY MISTAKES.
I WANT TO MEET THE MOTHER.
ARE YOU RITA BRIGGS?
UH-HUH.
I'M SUE ELLEN EWING.
MR. CONNORS...
I KNOW WHO YOU ARE.
YOU WANT A ROOT BEER?
NO, THANK YOU.
GOOD. 'CAUSE THIS
IS THE LAST ONE,
AND I DON'T FEEL LIKE SHARING.
YOU GOT A LOT OF MONEY.
YES, I GUESS SO.
WHY DON'T YOU HAVE
YOUR OWN BABY?
IS SOMETHING WRONG WITH YOU?
NO.
YOUR HUSBAND, HUH?
WHY DON'T YOU DUMP HIM?
YOU AFRAID YOU
MIGHT LOSE HIS MONEY?
YOU GOT A CIGARETTE?
NO. I DON'T SMOKE.
I DON'T THINK YOU SHOULD
BE SMOKING EITHER.
I'VE BEEN DOING A
PRETTY GOOD JOB
CARRYING THIS BABY FOR 7 MONTHS,
AND DON'T THINK YOU'RE
WALKING IN HERE AND TAKING OVER.
THIS ISN'T YOUR BABY YET.
MY BEING HERE... IT WAS MY IDEA.
I WANT TO KNOW YOU.
YEAH, I KNOW. HE TOLD ME.
WHAT, YOU WANT
ME TO TURN AROUND,
SEE ME FROM ALL ANGLES?
THIS WOULD BE A LOT EASIER
IF WE COULD BE FRIENDS.
FRIENDS?!
I DON'T LIKE YOU.
I DON'T LIKE ANY OF THIS.
IF I WASN'T SO DUMB,
I... I COULD BE HOME
NOW WITH MY OWN KIND.
RITA, I WANT YOU TO
KNOW THAT I UNDERSTAND.
YOU UNDERSTAND.
YOU GOT ALL THE
MONEY IN THE WORLD.
THERE'S NOTHING YOU CAN'T BUY,
EVEN MY BABY.
YOU MET ME. NOW GET OUT OF HERE.
RITA, IS THERE
ANYTHING YOU NEED?
THERE'S A LOT OF THINGS I NEED.
NOTHING I WANT
FROM YOU, THANK YOU.
WELL, LET ME BUY
YOU SOME GROCERIES.
AT LEAST I CAN BUY YOU
A 6-PACK OF ROOT BEER.
MAYBE I CAN GET YOU AN APARTMENT
WITH SOME MORE ROOM.
PLEASE.
I WANT TO HELP.
ALL RIGHT.
YOU GET ME A BETTER PLACE,
THE KIND OF
APARTMENT YOU'D LIVE IN.
I WANT THE BEST,
'CAUSE, LADY, YOU ARE
GETTING EVERYTHING I GOT.
ALL RIGHT.
I'LL MAKE ALL THE ARRANGEMENTS.
MAYBE WITH A LITTLE LUCK,
YOU CAN MOVE IN THIS WEEKEND.
[DOOR CLOSES]
MORNING, DADDY.
Jock: HEY, WHAT
DO YOU SAY, BOBBY?
HA! I'M GONNA TELL YOU,
YOU'RE GETTING TO
BE QUITE A RANCHER,
UP AT THE CRACK OF
DAWN, EVEN ON SATURDAY.
WELL, SOMETHING WRONG
WITH ONE OF THOSE
IRRIGATION PUMPS.
YEAH?
RAY SHOULD BE BACK ANY
MINUTE WITH THOSE PARTS.
I SAW HIM DRIVE IN JUST
A FEW MINUTES AGO.
GOOD.
NOW, BOBBY. YEAH?
DO YOU GOT A
PROBLEM WITH PAMELA?
NOTHING I CAN'T HANDLE.
OK, OK.
I DON'T WANT TO BUTT
IN, JUST WONDERING.
OK.
MORNING, BOBBY.
GOOD MORNING, MAMA.
HERE. IT'S TIME FOR THIS.
WHAT'S THE MATTER
WITH YOU AND PAMELA?
OH, NOT YOU, TOO.
I'M JUST NOT USED TO SEEING
YOU TWO SITTING AT DINNER
AND NOT TALKING TO EACH OTHER.
IT'S JUST A LITTLE THING, MAMA,
AND WE'LL SETTLE IT.
WELL, NOT TODAY. SHE
TOOK OFF THIS MORNING.
TOOK OFF?
WHERE WOULD SHE GO WITHOUT YOU
ON A SATURDAY?
ONLY ONE PLACE SHE
WOULD GO... TAKE A JOB.
A JOB?
WHAT DOES SHE NEED A JOB FOR?
EWING WOMEN DON'T WORK.
WELL, DADDY, PAMELA
DOESN'T CONSIDER
HERSELF A EWING WOMAN,
AND SHE WANTS A JOB.
WELL, I DON'T SEE ANYTHING WRONG
WITH STAYING HOME
AND HAVING BABIES.
WELL, THERE'S
NOTHING WRONG WITH IT,
IF THE TIME IS RIGHT.
YOU WERE HAPPY ENOUGH
WHEN SHE WAS PREGNANT BEFORE.
YES, I WAS.
BUT MAYBE WE DIDN'T THINK
ABOUT IT ENOUGH BEFORE,
ABOUT HOW A BABY
WOULD TIE HER DOWN.
HMM! A BABY AIN'T GONNA
TIE YOU DOWN
NONE. BESIDES, IT'D BE
THE BEST THING IN
THE WORLD FOR PAM.
NO, SIR, IT WOULDN'T,
NOT RIGHT NOW.
YOU MEAN TO TELL ME
THAT YOU LIKE THE
IDEA OF HER WORKING?
NO, I'M NOT SAYING
I LIKE IT, DADDY.
I'M JUST SAYING THAT IF PAMELA
NEEDS A LITTLE MORE TIME
BEFORE SHE HAS A BABY,
THEN I GUESS I CAN
GET USED TO THE IDEA.
WELL, THE NEXT THING
I KNOW, YOU'LL BE TELLING ME
THAT SHE'LL WANT TO GO
IN THE CONSTRUCTION
BUSINESS AGAIN.
NO, NOT JUST NOW.
I'VE HAD ENOUGH
AGGRAVATION FOR ONE MORNING.
BYE, MAMA.
KIDS.
HOW DO YOU FIGURE THEM OUT?
HA! YOU DON'T.
THAT'S WHAT MAKES
THEM SO FASCINATING.
WELL, THIS IS THE LAST OF IT.
IT'S A GOOD THING THIS
PLACE IS FURNISHED.
MY STUFF WOULDN'T
EVEN FILL THE KITCHEN.
DO YOU LIKE IT?
IT'S ALL RIGHT.
BEDROOM'S A LITTLE CRAMPED.
YOU LOOK VERY PRETTY
IN YOUR BATHING SUIT.
GIVE ME THAT!
WHO SAID YOU COULD
GO THROUGH MY THINGS?
WELL, I'M SORRY.
YOU SPENT A COUPLE BUCKS ON ME,
YOU THINK YOU CAN OWN ME?
THAT'S FROM A BEAUTY
CONTEST, ISN'T IT?
MAYBE.
I WAS IN A BEAUTY PAGEANT ONCE.
OH, YEAH? WHICH ONE?
MISS TEXAS.
SO BIG DEAL. I WAS IN
THE MISS TEEN TEXAS ONE.
HOW'D YOU DO?
I WAS VOTED MISS CONGENIALITY.
THAT MEANS THEY LIKED ME.
HOW'D YOU DO?
WELL, I WAS VOTED MISS TEXAS.
I KNEW IT, I KNEW IT! I...
YOU ALWAYS GET WHAT
YOU WANT, DON'T YOU?
WELL, I DIDN'T GET MISS AMERICA.
I DIDN'T EVEN MAKE
IT TO THE FINALS.
DID YOU CRY?
YEAH.
I CRIED FOR 3 DAYS.
I... I CRIED WHEN I LOST, TOO.
UM, WHY DON'T WE
HAVE A LITTLE LUNCH?
MRS. EWING,
YOU DON'T GOT TO KEEP
HANGING AROUND HERE, YOU KNOW?
I KNOW IT, BUT I WANT TO.
LET'S GO.
WELL, YOU WERE HAVING
DOUBTS THE OTHER DAY.
OHH, MY FEET.
YOU TALKED ABOUT BOBBY,
THE FACT THAT HE DIDN'T
WANT YOU TO WORK.
WELL, WE RESOLVED
THOSE PROBLEMS...
WITH AN EVENING OF SILENCE.
OH, NOW, LOOK. HOLD IT, HONEY.
IF YOU'RE HAVING PROBLEMS
WITH BOBBY OVER THIS,
MAYBE YOU'D BETTER THINK AGAIN.
I DON'T HAVE ANY PROBLEMS.
AHA, HE HAS.
HE HAS.
UH-HUH. HA HA! NOW, LOOK.
I DON'T WANT TO COME
BETWEEN YOU TWO.
IT'S NOT BEING A FRIEND.
BESIDES, IT'S... NOT
GOOD FOR THE STORE.
OH, LIZ, I LOVE BOBBY.
WE FIGHT BECAUSE
WE'RE INDIVIDUALS.
WE'LL WORK THIS OUT.
WE WILL.
[SIGHS]
ALL RIGHT. YOU HAVE A JOB.
I'LL CALL YOU AND TELL
YOU WHEN YOU START.
OK.
SUE ELLEN?
PAM!
HI.
A FRIEND OF MINE
IS HAVING A BABY. SHOWER GIFTS.
WELL, THEY'RE BEAUTIFUL.
SHE'S A LUCKY FRIEND.
YEAH, YEAH.
WHAT COLOR IS THE
BABY'S ROOM GONNA BE?
UH, RITA, THIS IS
MY SISTER-IN-LAW
PAM EWING.
THIS IS RITA, PAM.
HELLO, RITA.
HI.
GREEN IS A NICE COLOR.
WHY DON'T YOU SEE IF YOU CAN
FIND SOMETHING TO GO WITH GREEN?
OK.
I'M INVOLVED IN
THIS CHARITY THING.
BIG SISTERHOOD.
HAVEN'T YOU HEARD OF IT?
MM-HMM.
WELL, SHE DOESN'T HAVE ANYBODY.
I JUST THOUGHT
I'D GET HER A COUPLE OUTFITS.
I THINK WHAT YOU'RE
DOING IS LOVELY, SUE ELLEN.
I GOT TO GO. I'LL SEE YOU LATER.
OK.
[CAR APPROACHING]
HEY, RAY!
WHY DON'T YOU GET YOUR
TRUNKS ON? WE'LL GO SWIMMING.
WHO NEEDS TRUNKS?
I GOT A LOT OF WORK TO DO.
OH, COME ON! NO ONE'S AROUND.
BESIDES, I WON'T
TELL IF YOU DON'T.
HEY, RAY.
J.R.
YOU GOT SOME WORK TO DO?
YES, SIR.
AHEM.
HI, HONEY.
WHY DON'T YOU PUT
SOME CLOTHES ON
WHEN THE HELP'S AROUND?
TRYING TO GET A TAN.
WHAT DO YOU WANT ME
TO DO, WEAR A TURTLENECK?
YOU SEEN SUE ELLEN AROUND HERE?
DID YOU GUYS HAVE A FIGHT?
NO, HONEY. WE DON'T FIGHT.
SHE'S BEEN ACTING
REALLY WEIRD LATELY.
SHE'S BEEN OUT
EVERY DAY THIS WEEK.
WELL, SHE HAS A LOT
TO KEEP HER BUSY.
HMM. THIS MAN BUZZ CALLED
HER A COUPLE OF TIMES.
SO?
YESTERDAY, A LADY CALLED UP
ABOUT A CLEANING
DEPOSIT ON AN APARTMENT
THAT A MRS. EWING RENTED...
SUE ELLEN EWING.
WHAT'D YOU SAY HIS NAME WAS?
BUZZ. BUZZ CONNORS.
WHY DID YOU LIE ABOUT ME?
I HEARD WHAT YOU TOLD
YOUR SISTER-IN-LAW.
NOW WHAT'S THE MATTER?
YOU TOO EMBARRASSED
OF ME TO TELL THE TRUTH?
MY HUSBAND DOES NOT KNOW
ABOUT THIS ARRANGEMENT.
YOU'RE BUYING A BABY,
AND YOU HAVEN'T
TOLD YOUR HUSBAND?
NOW WHAT'S HE GONNA DO
WHEN YOU GO WALKING
IN WITH MY BABY?
IT'LL BE TOO LATE FOR
HIM TO DO ANYTHING.
WELL, DOESN'T HE WANT A BABY?
YOU DON'T KNOW MY HUSBAND.
HE'S A VERY DIFFICULT MAN.
IF HE KNOWS ABOUT
IT, HE'LL STOP IT.
WELL, WHAT IF HE FINDS OUT?
HE WON'T... NOT
UNTIL IT'S TOO LATE.
HELLO, CHUCK?
I'M SORRY. I DIDN'T MEAN TO
BOTHER YOU ON A SATURDAY.
YEAH. THERE'S A LITTLE SOMETHING
I WANT YOU TO DO FOR ME.
YEAH. HIS NAME IS BUZZ CONNORS,
AND THERE'S AN APARTMENT I
WANT YOU TO CHECK OUT FOR ME.
6245 WEST STREET.
MM-HMM. NOW, YOU
KNOW MY WIFE, DON'T YOU?
I WANT YOU TO FIND
OUT WHAT SHE'S UP TO,
AND I WANT YOU TO FIND
OUT JUST AS SOON AS YOU CAN.
[TELEPHONE RINGS]
[RING]
[RING]
HELLO.
MRS. EWING?
UH-HUH?
MR. CONNORS CALLED,
AND HE WANTS TO
KNOW WHAT HOSPITAL
YOU WANT THE BABY BORN IN.
DOESN'T MATTER TO
ME. YOU'RE PAYING FOR IT.
MRS. EWING?
I'M SORRY. I THINK YOU
HAVE THE WRONG MRS. EWING.
MAY I COME IN?
SOME MORE BIG SISTERHOOD WORK?
WHAT EXACTLY IS IT
THAT YOU WANT, PAMELA?
I WANT TO TALK
TO YOU, SUE ELLEN.
I THINK I KNOW WHAT'S GOING ON
WITH ALL OF THIS.
ARE YOU SURE YOU
KNOW WHAT YOU'RE DOING?
AM I NOW GETTING
ADVICE FROM A SHOP GIRL?
THIS SHOP GIRL
JUST TOOK A PHONE
CALL FOR YOU BY MISTAKE.
IT WAS FROM SOME GIRL
WANTING TO KNOW WHAT HOSPITAL
YOU WANT YOUR BABY BORN IN.
WE'RE ADOPTING A BABY.
THAT WASN'T AN ADOPTION
BUREAU I TALKED TO.
IT WAS PROBABLY THAT GIRL
I MET YOU SHOPPING WITH.
WHAT DO YOU KNOW ABOUT ALL THIS?
YOU CAN HAVE A BABY
ANY TIME YOU WANT ONE.
WHAT DO YOU KNOW ABOUT
WANTING TO HAVE A BABY
AND NOT BEING ABLE TO GET ONE?
WELL, I WENT TO AN
ADOPTION AGENCY,
AND THEY SAID I'D HAVE
TO WAIT FOR 3 YEARS.
WELL, I CAN'T WAIT FOR 3 YEARS.
WHY ARE YOU SO FRIGHTENED
THAT I'LL HAVE THE FIRST BABY?
THIS ISN'T A CONTEST.
IT DOESN'T MATTER
WHO HAS THE FIRST CHILD.
WELL, YOU TELL
THAT TO JOCK AND J.R.
J.R. DOESN'T KNOW ABOUT THIS?
NO... AND I DON'T
WANT YOU TO TELL HIM
BECAUSE I WANT THAT BABY,
AND NOBODY'S GONNA STOP ME,
NOT YOU, NOT JOCK, AND NOT J.R.
SUE ELLEN... PAMELA,
THIS IS NONE OF YOUR BUSINESS.
NONE OF YOUR BUSINESS.
RITA!
RITA!
RITA?
ARE YOU ALL RIGHT?
RITA?
[DOOR OPENS]
[DOOR CLOSES]
WHAT HAVE YOU DONE WITH HER?
RITA IS ON A BUS TO CALIFORNIA.
[DOOR OPENS]
[DOOR CLOSES]
Sue Ellen: YOU PROMISED ME.
YOU TOLD ME YOU
WOULDN'T TELL HIM!
SUE ELLEN, WHAT'S WRONG?
YOU TOLD HIM, AND
HE SENT HER AWAY!
WHO?
I SWEAR I DIDN'T.
J.R. IS RIGHT.
YOU ARE NOTHING
BUT A CHEAP HUSSY.
Miss Ellie: SUE ELLEN!
I DON'T WANT ANY MORE OF
THAT KIND OF TALK, SUE ELLEN.
YOU'D DO ANYTHING TO
MAKE POINTS WITH THIS FAMILY.
WELL, YOU CAN HAVE IT!
YOU CAN HAVE EWING OIL,
AND YOU CAN HAVE
THIS WHOLE DAMN RANCH,
'CAUSE I HAVE HAD IT!
WHAT'S GOING ON?
WHEN I ASK A QUESTION,
I DESERVE AN ANSWER.
I'M GETTING OUT.
YOU PUT ALL THIS STUFF AWAY.
YOU'RE NOT GOING ANYWHERE.
YOU CAN'T BUY YOUR
WAY OUT OF THIS ONE, J.R.
DARLING, I HAD TO PUT AN
END TO THAT BABY BUSINESS.
DO YOU WANT TO EMBARRASS US?
HUMILIATE US IN FRONT
OF MY WHOLE FAMILY?
I THOUGHT HAVING A BABY
WAS GONNA MAKE THINGS BETTER
BETWEEN YOU AND I.
WELL, NOTHING CAN.
DON'T YOU THINK I WANT A
BABY JUST AS MUCH AS YOU DO?
WELL, I DO.
BUT I WANT IT TO BE OUR
CHILD, NOT SOMEBODY ELSE'S.
[LAUGHS]
HOW ARE WE GONNA
HAVE A CHILD, HUH?
YOU HAVEN'T
TOUCHED ME IN MONTHS.
DO YOU KNOW HOW
THAT MAKES ME FEEL?
THAT MAKES ME FEEL LIKE NOTHING,
LIKE IT IS MY FAULT
THAT WE DON'T HAVE A CHILD!
OH, COME ON, MISS TEXAS.
DON'T YOU EVER DO THAT AGAIN!
LET GO OF ME!
DON'T YOU TOUCH ME.
YOU ARE MY WIFE.
YEAH, BUT NOT THE KIND OF WIFE
THAT I WANT TO BE.
WELL, WE'RE GONNA
FIX THAT RIGHT NOW.
LIKE HELL!
RIGHT NOW, I CAN'T STAND
TO HAVE YOU TOUCH ME!
YOU'LL GET OVER
THAT SOON ENOUGH.
[MOANING]
IS THAT WHAT YOU WANT?
SOMEONE WHO DOESN'T WANT YOU?
I DON'T WANT YOU.
I DON'T WANT YOU!
I DON'T WANT YOU.
I DON'T WANT YOU.
WHAT ARE WE DOING, BOBBY?
IT'LL JUST TAKE A
SECOND. COME ON.
WELL, I WANTED TO...
OK, CLOSE YOUR EYES.
CLOSE YOUR EYES.
WATCH YOUR STEP.
COME ON, COME ON. COME
WITH ME. HANG ON TIGHT.
WHAT HAVE YOU DONE? COME ON. OH!
HA HA HA!
COME ON NOW.
OH, BOBBY.
JUST A LITTLE BIT FURTHER.
IT'S NOT MUCH FARTHER.
OK. ARE YOU READY NOW?
WHAT?
JUST HOLD STILL.
ON THE COUNT OF 3.
1... 1... 2... 2... 3.3.
TA-DA!
BOBBY!
WELL, I FIGURED
IF YOU HAD A JOB,
YOU COULDN'T KEEP
BORROWING MY CAR ALL THE TIME...
OH! IT'S BEAUTIFUL!
OH!
WELL, YOU JUST GONNA STARE AT IT
OR YOU GONNA TAKE ME FOR A RIDE?
YOU LIKE LIVING ON THE LINE?
GO EASY WITH ME NOW.
REMEMBER, MY LIFE
IS IN YOUR HANDS.
WHOO!
YOU READY?
YUP.
[TIRES SCREECHING]
WELL, I SEE BOBBY
BOUGHT PAM A NEW TOY.
GOING INTO TOWN.
YOU WANT ANYTHING?
MM-MMM. NO.
HMM?
WELL, I'LL PROBABLY
BE WORKING LATE TONIGHT, ANYWAY.
