WHAT AN ORDEAL FOR MISS ELLIE.
SHE'S GONNA LIVE, SUE ELLEN.
SOMETIMES THAT'S
NOT ENOUGH, J.R.
THERE ARE OTHER THINGS IMPORTANT
TO A WOMAN BESIDES BEAUTY.
NOT IF YOU ARE
MARRIED TO A EWING.
I'M MARRIED TO BOBBY, NOT J.R.
IT DOESN'T MATTER.
IN A COUPLE OF YEARS,
THEY'LL LOOK AT YOU AS
THE SAME WAY: PROPERTY.
I'M DEFORMED.
NOTHING MATTERS.
JUST THE WAY...
IT DIDN'T MATTER FOR AMANDA?
CAPTIONING MADE
POSSIBLE BY WARNER BROS.
YOU TOSSED AND TURNED ALL NIGHT.
IF YOU KNEW THAT,
YOU WEREN'T SLEEPING
TOO SOUND YOURSELF.
I'M WORRIED ABOUT MISS ELLIE.
SHE'S HAD SO MUCH
TROUBLE ALL AT ONCE, BOBBY...
HER SURGERY AND NOW FINDING
OUT ABOUT JOCK'S FIRST MARRIAGE.
YEAH, HONEY, I KNOW.
DADDY'S FINALLY HOME.
I'M GOING TO GO SEE IF THERE'S
SOMETHING I CAN DO FOR HIM.
OK.
DADDY.
BOBBY.
HOW'S SHE DOING?
WELL, SHE...
SHE KEEPS DROPPING IN
AND OUT OF CONSCIOUSNESS,
YOU KNOW, FROM ALL THOSE SHOTS.
BUT I THINK SHE UNDERSTOOD WHEN
HARLEN TOLD HER WHAT THEY DID.
DID HE SAY IF THEY
GOT ALL THE CANCER?
WELL, HE... THEY DON'T KNOW YET.
WHAT AN ORDEAL FOR MISS ELLIE.
THE DOCTORS THINK THEY
GOT THE CANCER EARLY.
SHE'S GOT A GOOD CHANCE.
CHANCE FOR WHAT?
I WOULDN'T WANT HER CHANCES.
SHE'S GONNA LIVE, SUE ELLEN.
SOMETIMES THAT'S
NOT ENOUGH, J.R.
[CAR STARTING]
I DON'T BELIEVE IT.
DAD'S GOING BACK
TO THE HOSPITAL.
HE HASN'T SLEPT ALL NIGHT.
LUCY, WE'RE EATING
BREAKFAST NOW.
I'M NOT HUNGRY.
LOOK, HONEY, I...
I UNDERSTAND HOW
WORRIED YOU ARE.
BOBBY, I JUST WANT TO BE ALONE.
I'LL LET YOU KNOW WHEN
WE GO TO THE HOSPITAL.
I'M NOT GOING.
WHY?
YOU THINK ABOUT IT.
JUST COFFEE, TERESA.
WHERE'S LUCY?
SHE'S IN THE DEN.
HONEY, SHE SAID SHE'S NOT
GOING TO THE HOSPITAL TODAY.
I THOUGHT MAYBE YOU
COULD TALK TO HER.
WELL, OF COURSE I WILL.
MAYBE I CAN HELP.
MISS ORTIZ, WOULD YOU
TAKE CARE OF THESE, PLEASE?
ELLIE?
MY GOD, I LOVE YOU.
SUE ELLEN?
DID BOBBY AND J.R. LEAVE?
YES.
DO YOU KNOW WHERE LUCY IS?
NO, I DON'T KNOW.
WELL, WHY DON'T WE FIND HER
AND TRY AND TALK TO HER NOW?
UM, PAMELA, I THINK YOU
BETTER TALK TO HER ALONE.
WELL, I CAN, BUT I THOUGHT
YOU WANTED TO HELP.
I CAN'T.
YOU KNOW LUCY
DOESN'T LISTEN TO ME.
WELL, THIS IS A
LITTLE DIFFERENT.
IT'S REALLY IMPORTANT.
THE CHILD DISLIKES ME.
YOU CAN'T HANDLE
IT EITHER, CAN YOU?
I DON'T KNOW WHAT
YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT.
I'M TALKING ABOUT
MISS ELLIE'S OPERATION.
CAN YOU?
I DON'T KNOW,
AND I HOPE I DON'T
EVER HAVE TO KNOW.
J.R. FELL IN LOVE WITH ME
BECAUSE I WAS A BEAUTY QUEEN.
I WAS MISS TEXAS.
THERE ARE OTHER THINGS IMPORTANT
TO A WOMAN BESIDES BEAUTY.
WHAT?
BRAINS? CHARM? PERSONALITY?
YES.
YOU DON'T BELIEVE THAT
FOR A MINUTE, DO YOU?
YES, I DO.
WELL, I HAVE NEVER MET A MAN YET
WHO THOUGHT OF BRAINS WHEN
HE FIRST LOOKED AT A WOMAN.
WOMEN DON'T JUST EXIST FOR MEN.
WE EXIST FOR OURSELVES FIRST.
NOT IF YOU ARE
MARRIED TO A EWING.
I AM MARRIED TO A EWING!
THEN OPEN UP YOUR EYES!
THE EWING MEN COME FIRST.
I WOULD HAVE THOUGHT
YOU'D LEARNED THAT BY NOW.
I THINK YOU FORGET THAT
I'M MARRIED TO BOBBY, NOT J.R.
BOBBY, J.R., JOCK...
IT DOESN'T MATTER.
IN A COUPLE OF YEARS,
THEY'LL LOOK AT
YOU AS THE SAME WAY:
PROPERTY, AND YOU
BETTER BE WRAPPED UP
IN A PRETTY LITTLE PACKAGE.
SUE ELLEN... I'LL SEE
YOU AT THE HOSPITAL.
HE'S GOTTA BE IN MAMA'S ROOM.
BOYS.
DAD.
DADDY, YOU BEEN
ABLE TO TALK TO HER?
NO.
SHE'S ONLY AWAKE FOR
A FEW MINUTES AT A TIME.
WELL, WHY DON'T WE GO
IN THE WAITING ROOM, DAD?
YOU'D BE MORE COMFORTABLE THERE.
HARLEN'S SUPPOSED TO COME
BY WITH THE LAB REPORTS.
HE'LL FIND US DOWN THERE.
I SURE MESSED UP
THINGS WITH YOUR MAMA...
JUST AT A TIME WHEN
SHE NEEDED ME THE MOST.
YOU DIDN'T KNOW.
IT JUST HAPPENED, THAT'S ALL.
I FELT SHE WAS FRETTING
ABOUT SOMETHING.
SOMETHING WAS WRONG.
I ASKED A COUPLE OF
TIMES, SAID SHE'S OK.
GOD, WHY COULDN'T IT HAVE BEEN
ME THEY CUT UP INSTEAD OF HER?
COME ON, DAD. LET'S GO.
LUCY?
WHY DON'T WE DRIVE IN TO
THE HOSPITAL TOGETHER?
NAH. YOU GO AHEAD.
LUCY... I THINK WE'D
BETTER TALK ABOUT THIS.
I'VE GOT NOTHING TO TALK ABOUT.
I MEAN ABOUT THE WAY YOU FEEL.
HOW WOULD YOU
UNDERSTAND HOW I FEEL?
GRANDMA COULD DIE.
SHE HAS A GOOD CHANCE
OF LIVING A FULL LIFE.
OH! WHAT DO YOU KNOW?
YOU'RE THE ONE WHO
TOLD ME IT WAS ONLY A CYST,
AND IT WAS CANCER!
LUCY... AND I COULD GET IT,
BECAUSE I'M HER GRANDDAUGHTER.
YOU MUSTN'T THINK THAT WAY.
DON'T LECTURE ME, PAM.
YOU'RE NOT A DOCTOR.
ANY NEWS YET?
NO, NOTHING. IS LUCY HERE?
I'M SORRY. I COULDN'T
GET HER TO COME.
JOCK.
DID YOU GET THE REPORT, HARLEN?
YES, WE GOT IT.
THE CANCER... DID
YOU GET ALL OF IT?
WELL, APPARENTLY THE
TUMOR WAS LOCALIZED,
AND THERE'S NO SIGN THAT
THE MALIGNANCY HAS SPREAD.
AND DR. ANDREWS ALSO
REMOVED 12 LYMPH NODES,
AND THE LAB HAS CHECKED
THOSE, TOO. NO CANCER.
THEN SHE WON'T HAVE
TO HAVE CHEMOTHERAPY
OR RADIATION TREATMENT.
NO, BUT SHE'LL
HAVE TO BE WATCHED.
IT WAS A GOOD REPORT, JOCK,
AND WE HAVE ELLIE
TO THANK FOR THAT.
BECAUSE OF HER
FREQUENT SELF-EXAMINATION,
SHE KNEW HER OWN BODY
BETTER THAN ANYONE.
WELL, THANK GOD.
YEAH.
WELL, SHE'LL BE
SLEEPING ON AND OFF
FOR QUITE A WHILE NOW.
WHY DON'T YOU GET
SOME LUNCH, JOCK?
YOU OWE YOURSELF A BREAK.
NO, NO, NO. I'LL
WAIT WITH MISS ELLIE.
YEAH.
WELL, I'LL SEE YOU ALL LATER.
THANK YOU, HARLEN.
WHY DON'T YOU ALL GO
AHEAD AND HAVE SOME LUNCH?
I WANT TO SEE MISS ELLIE.
I'M GOING BACK TO THE OFFICE.
HONEY, WHAT ABOUT YOU?
OK.
SUE ELLEN, WE'LL
SEE YOU DOWNSTAIRS?
I'M GONNA CALL LUCY AND LET
HER KNOW WHAT'S GOING ON.
HELLO.
IS, UH, DUSTY THERE, PLEASE?
JOCK?
ELLIE.
HARLEN GOT THE REPORT.
THEY GOT ALL THE CANCER.
YOU'RE GOING TO BE JUST FINE.
WHEN DID SHE HAVE THE SURGERY?
THE DAY BEFORE YESTERDAY.
THE DOCTORS SAY SHE'S
GONNA BE ALL RIGHT.
THAT'S ROUGH.
PAM, WHY DIDN'T YOU CALL ME?
IT JUST ALL HAPPENED SO FAST,
I DIDN'T EVEN THINK OF IT.
IT'S BEEN A BLOW TO
THE WHOLE FAMILY.
WELL, I'VE GOT TO
GO AND SEE HER.
DADDY, I DON'T THINK YOU SHOULD.
YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND HOW I
FEEL ABOUT ELLIE, DO YOU, PAM?
HE'S STILL IN LOVE
WITH MISS ELLIE.
HE LOVED MAMA, TOO.
DID HE?
HE NEVER SAYS THAT.
WHEN HE SPEAKS OF HER AT ALL,
IT'S WITH A KIND OF
REVERENCE, BUT...
NOT WITH THE KIND OF PASSION
HE SEEMS TO FEEL FOR MISS ELLIE.
ELLIE EWING WAS SOMEBODY
VERY SPECIAL TO HIM.
IT WAS HIS FIRST LOVE.
HE LOST HER.
JOCK?
WE WERE TALKING, AND
YOU DOZED RIGHT OFF.
I DON'T REMEMBER.
HA HA HA! IT DOESN'T MATTER.
MUST BE THOSE PAIN SHOTS.
HOW YOU FEELING?
I'M NOT SURE.
YOU'RE ALIVE.
YOU'RE STILL WITH ME.
AM I, JOCK?
OF COURSE YOU ARE.
MY ARM IS NUMB.
MAYBE I BETTER
CALL THE NURSE, HUH?
NO, JOCK.
MISS ELLIE, THERE'S SOMETHING
THAT I'VE GOT TO SAY TO CLEAR THE AIR.
DON'T, JOCK.
NOT NOW.
I NEVER LIED TO YOU OR
ANYONE ELSE, BELIEVE ME.
BACK IN THOSE DAYS,
I WAS IN COMPETITION WITH
DIGGER BARNES FOR YOU.
I WAS AFRAID THAT...
IF I TOLD YOU ANYTHING
ABOUT AMANDA, I'D LOSE YOU.
DON'T.
I DON'T WANT TO
HEAR ANY MORE, JOCK.
HI, MAMA.
J.R.
HOW YOU FEELING? BETTER?
I'M ALL RIGHT.
A LITTLE SLEEPY.
J.R., I'LL BUY YOU LUNCH.
LET MISS ELLIE
SLEEP A WHILE, HUH?
ALL RIGHT.
SEE YOU LATER, MAMA.
ABOUT THAT TRUST
FUND, J.R... OH, YES, SIR.
I... I SUPPOSE I COULD
MOVE ON THAT RIGHT AWAY.
WHY DON'T I CALL
HARV SMITHFIELD?
MAYBE HE CAN MEET
US FOR LUNCH, HUH?
YOU JUST FORGET IT.
I'VE DECIDED TO PUT IT OFF
TILL YOUR MOTHER FEELS BETTER.
I'LL TAKE IT ALL UP WITH HER.
WELL, IF YOU'RE SURE.
I'M SURE.
YOU DIDN'T FINISH YOUR
DINNER, MRS. EWING.
I THINK I DID VERY WELL.
IT'S NOT EASY TO WORK UP
AN APPETITE FOR WATERY SOUP.
WELL, TOMORROW YOU
CAN HAVE SOLID FOOD.
MAYBE I CAN ORDER A
STEAK FROM SOUTHFORK.
I THINK YOU'RE GETTING CHICKEN.
CHICKEN FOR A CATTLE
RANCHER. WONDERFUL.
HA HA HA HA!
HEY.
JOKING ALREADY, HUH?
I KNEW IT WOULDN'T BE
ABLE TO KEEP YOU DOWN.
DIGGER!
ELLIE.
WHAT A NICE SURPRISE.
WELL, I WAS GOING
TO COME EARLIER,
BUT I WASN'T SURE, SO I JUST
WANDERED AROUND FOR A WHILE.
THESE ARE FOR YOU.
WILDFLOWERS.
DIGGER.
WELL, I COULDN'T VERY WELL
AFFORD THOSE LONG-STEMMED ROSES.
THAT'S NOT THE REASON.
NO.
I REMEMBERED HOW
YOU USED TO LOOK
WHEN YOU USED TO
PICK THOSE IN THE FIELD...
FACE ALL LIT UP AND GLOWING.
DIGGER, YOU HAVE
THE LONGEST MEMORY.
YOU KNOW THESE MEAN MORE TO
ME THAN ALL THOSE FANCY BOUQUETS.
YOU REALLY MEAN THAT, ELLIE?
DID I EVER SAY
ANYTHING I DIDN'T MEAN?
ONE TIME I WISH YOU HAD...
WHEN YOU TOLD ME YOU WERE
GOING TO MARRY JOCK EWING.
DIGGER... WON'T YOU
EVER ACCEPT THAT?
NEVER.
ELLIE, DON'T YOU STILL
FEEL SOMETHING FOR ME?
THAT'S NOT FAIR.
I'M GOING TO ASK YOU AGAIN
WHEN YOU GET OUT OF HERE.
DIGGER...
NOW, I DON'T WANT
TO TIRE YOU OUT.
I'LL CALL YOU WHEN
YOU GET BACK HOME.
I'M GLAD YOU CAME TO SEE ME.
ELLIE, YOU'RE SO BEAUTIFUL.
YOU THINK SO, DIGGER?
I'M NOT THE SAME
ANYMORE, YOU KNOW.
NONSENSE. OF COURSE YOU ARE.
DID YOU SEE DIGGER?
YES, I DID, AND I HOPE HE
DIDN'T UPSET YOU TOO MUCH.
WELL, WHY DIDN'T YOU COME IN?
OH, I JUST THOUGHT YOU
TWO WOULD LIKE TO BE ALONE.
THAT NEVER STOPPED YOU BEFORE.
WHAT'S CHANGED, JOCK?
ELLIE, YOU JUST HAD SURGERY,
AND YOU KNOW HOW HE SETS
ME OFF WITH HIS MOANINGS
AND HIS COMPLAININGS
ABOUT US EWINGS.
I JUST DIDN'T WANT TO
UPSET YOU, THAT'S ALL.
HE ONLY CAME
BECAUSE HE STILL CARES.
YOU REALLY BELIEVE THAT?
IF YOU HADN'T MARRIED ME,
HE'D HAVE BEEN OUT OF
YOUR LIFE A LONG TIME AGO.
DIGGER MAY HAVE
HIS SHORTCOMINGS,
BUT HE'S ALWAYS
BEEN HONEST WITH ME,
WHICH IS MORE THAN YOU'VE BEEN.
HE'S A BLOWHARD, A LIAR,
AND A BULL-THROWER,
AND I DON'T LIKE
IT ONE LITTLE BIT
THAT YOU'RE DEFENDING HIM TO ME.
YOU CAN BE VERY
CALLOUS AND VERY CRUEL,
AND RIGHT NOW, I DON'T
WANT YOU AROUND.
Jock: WELL, YOU'RE
FINALLY HOME, MISS ELLIE.
Miss Ellie: I DIDN'T KNOW I
COULD MISS SOUTHFORK
SO MUCH IN TWO WEEKS.
FAMILY'S WAITING.
THEY'RE ANXIOUS TO SEE YOU.
WHAT ABOUT LUCY?
WELL, SHE'S THERE, TOO.
[DOOR OPENS]
MAMA! WELCOME HOME!
BOBBY.
PAM.
SUE ELLEN.
J.R.
I MISSED YOU AT
THE HOSPITAL, LUCY.
WELL, I'M SORRY I
COULDN'T COME, GRANDMA.
I REALLY AM GLAD YOU'RE HOME.
WELL, I'M GLAD TO BE HERE.
I'M A LITTLE TIRED
FROM THE DRIVE.
I THINK I'LL GO
UPSTAIRS FOR A WHILE.
I'D LOVE SOME COMPANY LATER ON.
YOUR SPIRITS SEEM
GOOD TODAY, MISS ELLIE.
WELL, SUE ELLEN,
I'M JUST GRATEFUL TO BE
ALIVE AND BACK ON THIS RANCH
THAT I LOVE SO MUCH.
YOU DO HAVE A
FULL LIFE, MISS ELLIE.
YOU ALWAYS HAVE.
MUST MAKE IT A LITTLE EASIER
TO ACCEPT WHAT
YOU'VE GONE THROUGH.
WE'RE ALL SO HAPPY
TO HAVE YOU BACK HOME.
EVERYONE EXCEPT LUCY.
WELL, MISS ELLIE,
LUCY'S SO YOUNG,
AND SHE'S FRIGHTENED.
SHE'LL COME AROUND.
JUST... JUST GIVE HER SOME TIME.
OH, I HOPE SO.
HAVE YOU DECIDED WHETHER OR NOT
YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE
RECONSTRUCTIVE SURGERY?
WELL, I HAVE 6 MONTHS
TO THINK ABOUT THAT.
OF COURSE, IT DOESN'T
DUPLICATE THE ORIGINAL BREAST,
BUT IT DOES MAKE YOU FEEL
KIND OF PUT BACK TOGETHER AGAIN.
HAS JOCK SAID ANYTHING?
ABOUT WHAT?
ABOUT HOW HE FEELS
ABOUT THE SURGERY.
NO, HE... HE HASN'T.
HE SAID THAT HE LOVES YOU.
YES.
YOU DON'T SOUND
LIKE YOU BELIEVE HIM.
I'M NOT SURE.
OF JOCK?
I DON'T KNOW IF I'LL EVER
BE SURE OF HIM AGAIN.
Dusty: HI, THERE.
HELLO.
I'M GLAD YOU ANSWERED THE PHONE.
I KNOW IT'S BEEN QUITE A WHILE,
BUT, UH, WITH MISS
ELLIE SICK AND ALL...
I COULD SEE YOU DAY
AFTER TOMORROW.
THAT'S FINE.
THERE'S A HOTEL IN FORT
WORTH THAT'S CALLED THE REGENT.
WELL, DUSTY, A HOTEL?
I DON'T THINK SO.
WELL, I'M GONNA
BE THERE AT 1:00,
AND IF YOU'RE NOT THERE,
THEN... THEN I'LL UNDERSTAND.
HEY, BOBBY.
DIDN'T EXPECT YOU IN TODAY.
DAD AND I ARE HAVING
A LITTLE EARLY LUNCH.
YOU WANT TO JOIN US?
NO, J.R. I CAME INTO
TOWN JUST TO TALK TO YOU.
I DIDN'T WANT TO BRING THIS UP
WHILE MAMA WAS
STILL IN THE HOSPITAL.
WHAT'S ON YOUR MIND, BOBBY?
ALAN BEAM.
OH, YEAH? WHAT'S HE UP TO?
I THOUGHT MAYBE YOU
COULD EXPLAIN THAT TO ME.
WHAT'S THAT SUPPOSED TO MEAN?
LIKE EXPLAINING WHY
A COUPLE OF DAYS
AFTER HE HAS A FIGHT
WITH YOU AT THE RODEO,
HE OPENS UP A HEADQUARTERS
FOR THE "DRAFT CLIFF BARNES
FOR CONGRESS" MOVEMENT.
WELL, THAT SHOULD TELL YOU
SOMETHING ABOUT THAT DUDE.
WELL, FILL ME IN.
WHAT ARE YOU TWO ARGUING ABOUT?
DIDN'T WANT TO BRING
YOU IN ON THIS, DADDY...
NOT QUITE YET, BECAUSE
I'M NOT QUITE SURE.
I THINK J.R.'s UP TO SOMETHING
THAT WE OUGHT TO PUT
A STOP TO RIGHT NOW.
THAT'S NONE OF YOUR BUSINESS.
IT IS MY BUSINESS!
I'VE BEEN BUSTING MY
BUTT DOWN IN AUSTIN,
TRYING TO GET AN INVESTIGATIVE
COMMITTEE TOGETHER
TO LOOK INTO CLIFF
BARNES AND THE O.L.M.,
ALL LEGAL AND ABOVEBOARD.
NOW I GET INFORMATION FROM UP
HERE THAT YOU'RE DOING SOMETHING
THAT'S GOING TO RUIN
EVERYTHING I'VE BEEN WORKING FOR.
NOW, I WANT TO KNOW...
HOLD IT, BOBBY. JUST HOLD IT.
WELL, WHAT ARE YOU
UP TO THIS TIME, J.R.?
ALL RIGHT.
I'M BEHIND THE MOVEMENT TO
DRAFT CLIFF BARNES FOR CONGRESS.
I PLANTED ALAN
BEAM IN HIS OFFICE,
AND I'M FOOTING THE
BILL FOR HIS CAMPAIGN.
WELL, YOU MUST BE CRAZY.
LIKE A FOX, DADDY.
IN ORDER FOR CLIFF BARNES
TO RUN FOR CONGRESS,
HE HAS TO RESIGN
FROM THE O.L.M. FIRST.
NOW, THAT'S THE LAW.
AND ONCE HE RESIGNS,
HE GETS OFF OUR BACKS,
WE CAN OPEN UP OUR WELLS,
DRILL ANYPLACE WE WANT.
J.R., YOU KNOW A MAN LIKE THAT
COULD DO US A LOT OF
HARM IN WASHINGTON.
OH, DAD, HE'S NOT GOING
TO GET TO WASHINGTON.
HE'S NOT EVEN GOING
TO GET THE NOMINATION.
ONCE HE RESIGNS, I PULL THE
RUG OUT FROM UNDERNEATH HIM,
AND ALL HIS FUNDS JUST DRY UP.
DADDY, WE CAN'T GO ALONG
WITH A DUMB STUNT LIKE THAT.
ONCE THE STATE SENATE
INVESTIGATES CLIFF,
HE'S GOING TO BE
THROWN OUT, ALL LEGAL.
NOW, THERE'S EVIDENCE IN
AUSTIN THAT HE'S TAKEN PAYOFFS.
WE FOLLOW THAT LEAD THROUGH,
AND EVERYTHING'S GONNA BE FINE.
BOBBY, WE DON'T
HAVE TIME FOR THAT.
THOSE COMMITTEES
MOVE LIKE SNAILS.
THEY'RE BLEEDING US DRY.
LOOK, I'M ALL FOR GETTING
RID OF CLIFF BARNES,
BUT NOT THIS WAY.
WELL, I'LL TELL YOU
BOYS SOMETHING.
I WANT TO GET RID OF
THAT DUDE ANY WAY WE CAN.
HE'D USE EVERY DIRTY TRICK IN
THE BOOK TO TRY TO BREAK US.
I DON'T THINK THAT WHAT
J.R.'s DOING IS ANY WORSE
THAN WHAT HE'S PULLED.
I'LL GO ALONG WITH YOU, J.R.
WELL, THEN, COUNT ME OUT.
WE DON'T COUNT ANYBODY OUT.
THIS IS THE EWING COMPANY,
AND YOU'RE PART OF IT.
FURTHERMORE, I DON'T WANT THIS
DISCUSSION TO GO OUT OF THIS OFFICE.
IF CLIFF BARNES EVER GETS
WIND OF WHAT'S GOING ON,
HELL, WE'LL NEVER
GET RID OF HIM.
IT SEEMS TO ME THIS
FAMILY HAS ENOUGH MONEY
TO WAIT OUT CLIFF BARNES
AND TAKE CARE OF HIM LEGALLY.
I DON'T UNDERSTAND THE RUSH.
YOU WANT ME TO KEEP
MY MOUTH SHUT, DADDY,
I'LL RESPECT YOUR WISHES.
I WON'T SAY ANYTHING... FOR NOW.
Jock: MISS ELLIE, BEEN A
LONG TIME... TOO LONG...
SINCE YOU'VE GRACED THIS TABLE.
I THINK YOU OUGHT
TO SAY A FEW WORDS
IN HONOR OF THE OCCASION.
WELL, I'M JUST GLAD
WE'RE ALL TOGETHER.
YOU KNOW HOW
IMPORTANT THAT IS TO ME.
WELL, I CAN'T THINK OF
ANYTHING ELSE TO SAY, SO, J.R.,
WOULD YOU PLEASE PASS ME A ROLL?
SURE.
WE'RE ALL GLAD
YOU'RE BACK, MAMA.
DO YOU FEEL THAT WAY, LUCY?
YOU'VE HARDLY TALKED
TO ME SINCE I CAME HOME.
WELL, I'VE BEEN
PRETTY BUSY, GRANDMA.
J.R., I NOTICED
THAT YOU AND BOBBY
WEREN'T SPEAKING TO
EACH OTHER AT COCKTAILS.
OH, THAT WAS NOTHING, MAMA...
JUST A LITTLE BUSINESS
ARGUMENT, THAT'S ALL.
IT WASN'T A LITTLE
ARGUMENT TO ME, J.R.
J.R.: IT WAS.
IT WASN'T, J.R. IT
WAS MORE... BOBBY!
SORRY, MAMA.
IT'S WONDERFUL.
THE EWINGS ARE BACK TO NORMAL.
[ALL LAUGHING]
[WHIMPERING]
[CRYING]
GOD, ELLIE.
WHAT'S WRONG?
GO AWAY, JOCK.
I WANT TO HELP.
I... I CAN'T LEAVE
YOU LIKE THIS.
NOTHING... NOTHING FITS.
I'M TELLING YOU,
IT'LL BE ALL RIGHT.
IT... IT DOESN'T MATTER.
WHY DOESN'T IT MATTER?
BECAUSE I'M NOT YOUNG ANYMORE?
DON'T YOU THINK I
CARE THE WAY I LOOK?
DON'T YOU CARE?
I CARE FOR YOU, ELLIE... YOU.
I'M JUST... JUST SO
HAPPY THAT YOU'RE ALIVE.
NOTHING ELSE MATTERS.
NOTHING AT ALL.
DOESN'T IT?
JOCK...
I'M DEFORMED.
DOESN'T THAT MATTER?
YOU ARE NOT DEFORMED, ELLIE.
IF YOU LOST AN ARM OR A LEG,
I'D SUFFER THAT
LOSS WITH YOU, TOO,
BUT IT WOULDN'T CHANGE
ANYTHING BETWEEN US.
I'M NOT TALKING
ABOUT AN ARM OR A LEG.
I'M TALKING ABOUT... MY BREAST.
WHAT DO YOU KNOW ABOUT THAT?
MARY LEE, I'M
REALLY NOT UP TO IT.
COULD YOU CALL LINDA
AND CANCEL OUR LUNCHEON?
MAYBE IN A COUPLE OF WEEKS.
THANKS, MARY LEE. BYE.
[TELEPHONE RINGS]
[RING]
HELLO?
Digger: HELLO, ELLIE?
DIGGER.
HOW NICE OF YOU TO CALL.
I TOLD YOU I WOULD.
I ALWAYS KEEP MY PROMISES.
WELL, I DON'T KNOW ABOUT THAT,
BUT I'M REALLY GLAD
TO HEAR FROM YOU
BECAUSE RIGHT NOW I FEEL AS IF
MY WHOLE WORLD HAD CAVED IN.
WELL, UH, ELLIE, I'D
SURE LIKE TO SEE YOU.
UH, DO YOU FEEL UP TO
MEETING SOMEPLACE?
YES. WHERE? I'LL MEET YOU.
HOW ABOUT CURTIS PARK?
WONDERFUL.
GIVE ME ABOUT AN HOUR.
GOOD-BYE, ELLIE.
BYE.
HELLO. THIS IS ROOM 721.
IT'S MR. FARLOW.
[KNOCK ON DOOR]
NEVER MIND.
HI. COME ON IN.
I SAT IN MY CAR FOR A LONG TIME.
I'M GLAD YOU'RE HERE.
OH, NONE FOR ME, DUSTY.
I CAN'T DRINK.
WELL, THAT'S OK.
DON'T YOU EVEN WANT TO KNOW WHY?
WELL, SURE, IF YOU
WANT TO TELL ME.
WELL, I MAY BE AN ALCOHOLIC.
I'M NOT SURE, BUT ANYWAY,
I DON'T WANT TO TAKE A CHANCE.
I WAS IN A REAL BAD ACCIDENT,
AND I ALMOST KILLED
MY BABY AND MYSELF.
OH, SUE ELLEN, I'M SORRY.
IT'S GOT TO HURT LIKE HELL.
I TRIED TO SHUT OUT EVERYTHING,
ALL MY FEELINGS,
AND I JUST WRAPPED MYSELF
UP IN MY OWN LITTLE COCOON.
YOU DON'T HAVE TO
DO THAT ANYMORE.
I DON'T KNOW... YOU'RE HERE NOW.
THIS IS, UH... THIS
IS VERY ELEGANT.
I'M RICH, REMEMBER?
BUT YOU WALKED AWAY
FROM ALL THAT MONEY.
YOU SAID YOU DIDN'T
WANT TO BE TIED DOWN.
YOU WANTED YOUR FREEDOM.
I CHANGED MY MIND.
BUT WHY?
BECAUSE I WANT YOU.
DUSTY, I CAN'T.
WHY NOT?
THERE'S NOTHING FOR
YOU AT SOUTHFORK.
YES, BUT I HAVE A LIFESTYLE
THAT I CAN'T CHANGE.
I DON'T THINK I HAVE
THAT KIND OF STRENGTH.
I'M OFFERING YOU MY STRENGTH.
IT'S TOO SOON.
DO YOU THINK ALL I WANTED
TO DO IS GET YOU IN THE SACK?
WELL, I TRIED NOT TO THINK.
I WANT YOU TO
UNDERSTAND SOMETHING.
I THINK YOU'RE VERY ATTRACTIVE
AND VERY KIND AND, UH...
INCREDIBLY DESIRABLE.
I JUST WANTED TO SEE IF I COULD
TAKE ONE STEP OUT OF THAT COCOON...
JUST ONE STEP.
NOBODY'S EVER GIVEN
ME WILDFLOWERS IN YEARS,
AND NOW TWICE.
OH, DIGGER.
HONEY, THOSE FLOWERS ARE
SUPPOSED TO MAKE YOU SMILE, NOT CRY.
NO TEARS.
ALL RIGHT.
YOU TIRED?
A LITTLE.
WELL, NOW, LET'S SIT DOWN.
JUST LET ME CLEAN
UP THIS BENCH HERE.
DON'T WANT TO GET THAT
DRESS ALL MESSED UP.
THE DRESS IS OLD,
DIGGER... THE WAY I FEEL.
ELLIE...
IT'S NONSENSE.
YOU DON'T LOOK ANY DIFFERENT
THAN YOU DID WHEN WE WAS DATING.
[CHUCKLES]
I WISH I COULD BELIEVE THAT.
WHAT? IT'S TRUE.
SAY, YOU KNOW, I REMEMBER
EVERY DAY WE EVER DATED.
REMEMBER THAT TIME YOU WAS
TEACHING ME HOW TO RIDE A HORSE?
HAD THAT BIG PALOMINO,
NAME OF, UH... UH... BUCKWHEAT.
I REMEMBER.
YEAH.
I STILL HAD OIL ON MY BOOTS.
HA HA HA!
YEAH.
YOU MUST HAVE SPENT HOURS
CLEANING UP THAT ANIMAL.
YOU PICKED THE ONLY SPOT OF MUD
IN THE WHOLE CORRAL TO FALL INTO.
YEAH.
I WASN'T MUCH OF A HORSEMAN.
IT DIDN'T MATTER.
NOBODY EVER REALLY
KNEW HOW GENTLE YOU WERE.
ONLY YOU.
OF COURSE, I HAD
A TERRIBLE TEMPER.
STILL DO.
WELL, I WISH THINGS WOULD
HAVE WORKED OUT DIFFERENTLY.
WE WERE GOOD FOR EACH OTHER.
FOR A WHILE.
WE STILL ARE.
DO YOU KNOW HOW MUCH
I'VE ALWAYS LOVED YOU?
DIGGER... WILLARD BARNES,
ALWAYS THE ROMANTIC.
WHAT DO YOU SAY?
WELL...
RIGHT NOW I WISH I COULD
BLANK OUT THE LAST FEW WEEKS;
BECOME THAT GIRL YOU REMEMBER.
YOU CAN, WITH ME.
WE COULD TRAVEL;
GET OUT OF TEXAS FOR A WHILE.
YOU'VE BEEN IN
ONE SPOT TOO LONG.
I BELONG AT SOUTHFORK, DIGGER.
WITH JOCK?
YOU DON'T NEED HIM, ELLIE.
HE'S COLD. HE'S MEAN.
HE STOLE MY OIL.
HE STOLE YOU FROM ME.
HE DIDN'T STEAL ME, DIGGER.
IF IT WASN'T FOR JOCK EWING,
WE'D BE MARRIED RIGHT NOW.
WE'D BE ON TOP OF THE WORLD.
I'D BE RICH.
I'D HAVE MY OWN OIL COMPANY.
I'D BE RESPECTED...
AND POWERFUL.
JOCK EWING... HE
RUINED IT FOR BOTH OF US.
NO, DIGGER.
IT WOULDN'T HAVE CHANGED,
AND NEITHER WOULD I.
I'D STILL BE JUST THE
SAME; NO DIFFERENT.
I WANTED TO TURN BACK THE CLOCK.
I CAN'T DO THAT.
I'M SORRY, DIGGER.
I HAVE TO GO NOW.
WHAT DID I SAY?
IT'S ALL RIGHT.
YOU JUST HELPED PUT
THINGS INTO PERSPECTIVE.
SAW MISS ELLIE YESTERDAY.
SEEMED TO HAVE A LOT
OF THAT OLD SPARK BACK IN.
YEAH, SHE'S DOING FINE.
HEY, WHAT'S WITH YOU?
HARDLY SAID A WORD ALL MORNING.
NOTHING. WHY?
THIS IS YOUR OLD BUDDY
RAY YOU'RE TALKING TO.
I'VE SEEN THAT LOOK BEFORE NOW.
GOT SOME FAMILY
PROBLEMS OR WHAT?
YOU A COWBOY OR A MIND READER?
JUST A FRIEND.
WANT TO TALK ABOUT IT?
NO. IT'S MY PROBLEM.
I'LL TAKE CARE OF IT.
OK.
[CAR HORN HONKS]
OH, FINE.
COME HERE, BOBBY.
I WANT TO TALK TO YOU.
I WANT TO GO OVER
THOSE FEED ORDERS.
I NEEDED YOUR HELP
TWO WEEKS AGO ON THAT.
YOU WERE TOO BUSY. I
TOOK CARE OF IT MYSELF.
I KNOW THAT, BUT I
WANT TO SEE THEM NOW.
I GOT WORK TO DO, DADDY.
RAY CAN HANDLE THAT. GET IN.
ALL RIGHT, LET'S SETTLE IT NOW.
WELL, THERE'S NOTHING TO SETTLE.
I JUST WANT TO SEE THE ORDERS.
I'M STILL RUNNING THIS RANCH.
AND I FIGURE YOU CAN
RUN IT WITHOUT ME.
WHY DON'T YOU GO TALK TO J.R.?
YOU SEEM HAPPY ENOUGH
WITH HIS DECISIONS.
I DON'T GIVE A DAMN ABOUT
CLIFF BARNES OR THE O.L.M.
IT'S YOUR MAMA, BOBBY.
DADDY, YOU CAN'T...
YOU CAN'T DROP A BOMB
LIKE THAT ON SOMEBODY
AND EXPECT THEM TO TURN
RIGHT AROUND AND ACT NORMAL.
WELL, I DON'T KNOW.
I'VE REALLY TRIED
WITH THAT WOMAN.
I REALLY HAVE.
WHEN I THINK EVERYTHING
IS OK, SUDDENLY IT...
IT ISN'T THERE ANYMORE.
I HAVE TRIED EVERYTHING
THAT I CAN THINK OF TO TELL HER
HOW MUCH I LOVE HER.
WHAT HAPPENED
BETWEEN AMANDA AND ME
HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH US.
DADDY, I'D...
I'D LIKE TO HELP YOU, BUT
I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO.
YEAH, YEAH.
I UNDERSTAND THAT, BOBBY.
I JUST... I JUST HAD TO
HAVE SOMEBODY TO TALK TO,
AND WELL, I...
I JUST COULDN'T THINK
OF ANYBODY BUT YOU.
LET'S GO BACK TO THE RANCH.
YEAH.
[STARTS ENGINE]
LUCY, ARE YOU HOME?
Lucy: YES, GRANDMA?
WELL, COME DOWN. I
WANT TO TALK TO YOU.
I'VE GOT TO GET BACK TO
MY STUDYING, GRANDMA.
WHY HAVE YOU BEEN
AVOIDING ME, LUCY?
I HAVEN'T BEEN.
YOU DIDN'T VISIT
ME AT THE HOSPITAL.
WE'VE ONLY SEEN EACH OTHER
AT BREAKFAST AND DINNER,
AND THEN YOU NEVER SPEAK TO ME.
CAN I GO NOW, GRANDMA?
HAVE I DONE
SOMETHING TO HURT YOU?
NO.
BUT I HAVE.
YOU'RE NOT BEING
TRUTHFUL WITH ME.
I DON'T KNOW WHAT
YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT.
I HAD CANCER, LUCY,
AND YOU'RE MY GRANDDAUGHTER.
AND NOW YOU'RE AFRAID
YOU'LL INHERIT IT FROM ME.
I DON'T WANT TO TALK
ABOUT THIS, GRANDMA.
WE HAVE TO TALK ABOUT IT.
WHY?
THERE'S NOTHING
I CAN DO ABOUT IT,
AND TALKING ABOUT IT IS
NOT GONNA MAKE IT GO AWAY.
THEN YOU'RE JUST
GONNA GO ON HATING ME?
I DON'T HATE YOU.
I THINK YOU DO.
OH, GRANDMA.
I FEEL SO AWFUL ABOUT
WHAT HAPPENED TO YOU,
BUT THIS ISN'T
GONNA DO ANY GOOD.
I DON'T WANT TO TALK ABOUT IT.
WELL, YOU'RE RIGHT.
I DO HATE YOU FOR GETTING
SICK AND FOR MAKING ME WORRY.
WHY ME, GRANDMA? WHY ME?
WHY ME, LUCY?
OH, GRANDMA, I'M JUST SO SCARED.
I DON'T WANT TO GO THROUGH
WHAT YOU WENT THROUGH.
LUCY...
BECAUSE IT HAPPENED TO ME
DOESN'T MEAN IT'S INEVITABLE
THAT YOU'LL HAVE IT, TOO.
BUT I DON'T WANT YOU TO
AVOID REGULAR EXAMINATIONS,
LEARNING ABOUT YOUR OWN BODY,
JUST BECAUSE YOU'RE FRIGHTENED.
WELL, REGULAR EXAMINATIONS
DIDN'T STOP IT WITH YOU,
SO WHAT GOOD IS IT?
I'M ALIVE, LUCY.
I WOULDN'T WANT
TO LIVE LIKE THAT.
WOULD YOU RATHER I WAS DEAD?
NO, GRANDMA.
THEN, LUCY, I DON'T THINK I
HAVE TO SAY ANYTHING ELSE.
I GUESS NOT.
BUT HOW DO I LEARN
HOW TO HANDLE THE FEAR?
WE ALL HAVE TO LIVE WITH
FEAR SOMETIMES, LUCY,
BUT WE HAVE TO
LEARN TO DEAL WITH IT
AND GET ON TO THE
BUSINESS OF LIVING.
I DON'T KNOW IF I
CAN... BUT I'LL TRY.
HI, MAMA.
HELLO, BOBBY.
WOULD YOU EXCUSE
YOUR DADDY AND ME?
SURE.
JOCK...
WHAT IS IT, MISS ELLIE?
JOCK, I WAS VERY HURT WHEN
YOU TOLD ME ABOUT AMANDA.
I NEVER MEANT TO HURT YOU.
BUT IF YOU HADN'T
TOLD ME ABOUT HER,
I WOULD HAVE FOUND
SOMETHING ELSE TO TRY
AND DRIVE YOU AWAY.
DRIVE ME AWAY? WHY?
BECAUSE I WAS SO AFRAID OF
LOSING YOU AFTER THE OPERATION.
I'M NOT HAPPY ABOUT AMANDA,
BUT I... I REALIZE I
USED HER AS AN EXCUSE
SO THAT IF YOU DID LEAVE ME,
I COULD PRETEND IT WAS HER,
AND NOT BECAUSE...
BECAUSE YOU COULDN'T BEAR
TO LOOK AT ME OR TOUCH ME.
NEVER.
I'M STILL AFRAID I'LL LOSE YOU,
AND I DON'T KNOW
HOW TO CHANGE THAT,
BUT... BUT IF YOU'LL
BE PATIENT WITH ME,
MAYBE... MAYBE WE
CAN MAKE IT WORK AGAIN.
I'LL TRY, JOCK.
I LOVE YOU.
CAPTIONING MADE
POSSIBLE BY WARNER BROS.
SHE'S GONNA LIVE, SUE ELLEN.
SOMETIMES THAT'S
NOT ENOUGH, J.R.
THERE ARE OTHER THINGS IMPORTANT
TO A WOMAN BESIDES BEAUTY.
NOT IF YOU ARE
MARRIED TO A EWING.
I'M MARRIED TO BOBBY, NOT J.R.
IT DOESN'T MATTER.
IN A COUPLE OF YEARS,
THEY'LL LOOK AT YOU AS
THE SAME WAY: PROPERTY.
I'M DEFORMED.
NOTHING MATTERS.
JUST THE WAY...
IT DIDN'T MATTER FOR AMANDA?
CAPTIONING MADE
POSSIBLE BY WARNER BROS.
YOU TOSSED AND TURNED ALL NIGHT.
IF YOU KNEW THAT,
YOU WEREN'T SLEEPING
TOO SOUND YOURSELF.
I'M WORRIED ABOUT MISS ELLIE.
SHE'S HAD SO MUCH
TROUBLE ALL AT ONCE, BOBBY...
HER SURGERY AND NOW FINDING
OUT ABOUT JOCK'S FIRST MARRIAGE.
YEAH, HONEY, I KNOW.
DADDY'S FINALLY HOME.
I'M GOING TO GO SEE IF THERE'S
SOMETHING I CAN DO FOR HIM.
OK.
DADDY.
BOBBY.
HOW'S SHE DOING?
WELL, SHE...
SHE KEEPS DROPPING IN
AND OUT OF CONSCIOUSNESS,
YOU KNOW, FROM ALL THOSE SHOTS.
BUT I THINK SHE UNDERSTOOD WHEN
HARLEN TOLD HER WHAT THEY DID.
DID HE SAY IF THEY
GOT ALL THE CANCER?
WELL, HE... THEY DON'T KNOW YET.
WHAT AN ORDEAL FOR MISS ELLIE.
THE DOCTORS THINK THEY
GOT THE CANCER EARLY.
SHE'S GOT A GOOD CHANCE.
CHANCE FOR WHAT?
I WOULDN'T WANT HER CHANCES.
SHE'S GONNA LIVE, SUE ELLEN.
SOMETIMES THAT'S
NOT ENOUGH, J.R.
[CAR STARTING]
I DON'T BELIEVE IT.
DAD'S GOING BACK
TO THE HOSPITAL.
HE HASN'T SLEPT ALL NIGHT.
LUCY, WE'RE EATING
BREAKFAST NOW.
I'M NOT HUNGRY.
LOOK, HONEY, I...
I UNDERSTAND HOW
WORRIED YOU ARE.
BOBBY, I JUST WANT TO BE ALONE.
I'LL LET YOU KNOW WHEN
WE GO TO THE HOSPITAL.
I'M NOT GOING.
WHY?
YOU THINK ABOUT IT.
JUST COFFEE, TERESA.
WHERE'S LUCY?
SHE'S IN THE DEN.
HONEY, SHE SAID SHE'S NOT
GOING TO THE HOSPITAL TODAY.
I THOUGHT MAYBE YOU
COULD TALK TO HER.
WELL, OF COURSE I WILL.
MAYBE I CAN HELP.
MISS ORTIZ, WOULD YOU
TAKE CARE OF THESE, PLEASE?
ELLIE?
MY GOD, I LOVE YOU.
SUE ELLEN?
DID BOBBY AND J.R. LEAVE?
YES.
DO YOU KNOW WHERE LUCY IS?
NO, I DON'T KNOW.
WELL, WHY DON'T WE FIND HER
AND TRY AND TALK TO HER NOW?
UM, PAMELA, I THINK YOU
BETTER TALK TO HER ALONE.
WELL, I CAN, BUT I THOUGHT
YOU WANTED TO HELP.
I CAN'T.
YOU KNOW LUCY
DOESN'T LISTEN TO ME.
WELL, THIS IS A
LITTLE DIFFERENT.
IT'S REALLY IMPORTANT.
THE CHILD DISLIKES ME.
YOU CAN'T HANDLE
IT EITHER, CAN YOU?
I DON'T KNOW WHAT
YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT.
I'M TALKING ABOUT
MISS ELLIE'S OPERATION.
CAN YOU?
I DON'T KNOW,
AND I HOPE I DON'T
EVER HAVE TO KNOW.
J.R. FELL IN LOVE WITH ME
BECAUSE I WAS A BEAUTY QUEEN.
I WAS MISS TEXAS.
THERE ARE OTHER THINGS IMPORTANT
TO A WOMAN BESIDES BEAUTY.
WHAT?
BRAINS? CHARM? PERSONALITY?
YES.
YOU DON'T BELIEVE THAT
FOR A MINUTE, DO YOU?
YES, I DO.
WELL, I HAVE NEVER MET A MAN YET
WHO THOUGHT OF BRAINS WHEN
HE FIRST LOOKED AT A WOMAN.
WOMEN DON'T JUST EXIST FOR MEN.
WE EXIST FOR OURSELVES FIRST.
NOT IF YOU ARE
MARRIED TO A EWING.
I AM MARRIED TO A EWING!
THEN OPEN UP YOUR EYES!
THE EWING MEN COME FIRST.
I WOULD HAVE THOUGHT
YOU'D LEARNED THAT BY NOW.
I THINK YOU FORGET THAT
I'M MARRIED TO BOBBY, NOT J.R.
BOBBY, J.R., JOCK...
IT DOESN'T MATTER.
IN A COUPLE OF YEARS,
THEY'LL LOOK AT
YOU AS THE SAME WAY:
PROPERTY, AND YOU
BETTER BE WRAPPED UP
IN A PRETTY LITTLE PACKAGE.
SUE ELLEN... I'LL SEE
YOU AT THE HOSPITAL.
HE'S GOTTA BE IN MAMA'S ROOM.
BOYS.
DAD.
DADDY, YOU BEEN
ABLE TO TALK TO HER?
NO.
SHE'S ONLY AWAKE FOR
A FEW MINUTES AT A TIME.
WELL, WHY DON'T WE GO
IN THE WAITING ROOM, DAD?
YOU'D BE MORE COMFORTABLE THERE.
HARLEN'S SUPPOSED TO COME
BY WITH THE LAB REPORTS.
HE'LL FIND US DOWN THERE.
I SURE MESSED UP
THINGS WITH YOUR MAMA...
JUST AT A TIME WHEN
SHE NEEDED ME THE MOST.
YOU DIDN'T KNOW.
IT JUST HAPPENED, THAT'S ALL.
I FELT SHE WAS FRETTING
ABOUT SOMETHING.
SOMETHING WAS WRONG.
I ASKED A COUPLE OF
TIMES, SAID SHE'S OK.
GOD, WHY COULDN'T IT HAVE BEEN
ME THEY CUT UP INSTEAD OF HER?
COME ON, DAD. LET'S GO.
LUCY?
WHY DON'T WE DRIVE IN TO
THE HOSPITAL TOGETHER?
NAH. YOU GO AHEAD.
LUCY... I THINK WE'D
BETTER TALK ABOUT THIS.
I'VE GOT NOTHING TO TALK ABOUT.
I MEAN ABOUT THE WAY YOU FEEL.
HOW WOULD YOU
UNDERSTAND HOW I FEEL?
GRANDMA COULD DIE.
SHE HAS A GOOD CHANCE
OF LIVING A FULL LIFE.
OH! WHAT DO YOU KNOW?
YOU'RE THE ONE WHO
TOLD ME IT WAS ONLY A CYST,
AND IT WAS CANCER!
LUCY... AND I COULD GET IT,
BECAUSE I'M HER GRANDDAUGHTER.
YOU MUSTN'T THINK THAT WAY.
DON'T LECTURE ME, PAM.
YOU'RE NOT A DOCTOR.
ANY NEWS YET?
NO, NOTHING. IS LUCY HERE?
I'M SORRY. I COULDN'T
GET HER TO COME.
JOCK.
DID YOU GET THE REPORT, HARLEN?
YES, WE GOT IT.
THE CANCER... DID
YOU GET ALL OF IT?
WELL, APPARENTLY THE
TUMOR WAS LOCALIZED,
AND THERE'S NO SIGN THAT
THE MALIGNANCY HAS SPREAD.
AND DR. ANDREWS ALSO
REMOVED 12 LYMPH NODES,
AND THE LAB HAS CHECKED
THOSE, TOO. NO CANCER.
THEN SHE WON'T HAVE
TO HAVE CHEMOTHERAPY
OR RADIATION TREATMENT.
NO, BUT SHE'LL
HAVE TO BE WATCHED.
IT WAS A GOOD REPORT, JOCK,
AND WE HAVE ELLIE
TO THANK FOR THAT.
BECAUSE OF HER
FREQUENT SELF-EXAMINATION,
SHE KNEW HER OWN BODY
BETTER THAN ANYONE.
WELL, THANK GOD.
YEAH.
WELL, SHE'LL BE
SLEEPING ON AND OFF
FOR QUITE A WHILE NOW.
WHY DON'T YOU GET
SOME LUNCH, JOCK?
YOU OWE YOURSELF A BREAK.
NO, NO, NO. I'LL
WAIT WITH MISS ELLIE.
YEAH.
WELL, I'LL SEE YOU ALL LATER.
THANK YOU, HARLEN.
WHY DON'T YOU ALL GO
AHEAD AND HAVE SOME LUNCH?
I WANT TO SEE MISS ELLIE.
I'M GOING BACK TO THE OFFICE.
HONEY, WHAT ABOUT YOU?
OK.
SUE ELLEN, WE'LL
SEE YOU DOWNSTAIRS?
I'M GONNA CALL LUCY AND LET
HER KNOW WHAT'S GOING ON.
HELLO.
IS, UH, DUSTY THERE, PLEASE?
JOCK?
ELLIE.
HARLEN GOT THE REPORT.
THEY GOT ALL THE CANCER.
YOU'RE GOING TO BE JUST FINE.
WHEN DID SHE HAVE THE SURGERY?
THE DAY BEFORE YESTERDAY.
THE DOCTORS SAY SHE'S
GONNA BE ALL RIGHT.
THAT'S ROUGH.
PAM, WHY DIDN'T YOU CALL ME?
IT JUST ALL HAPPENED SO FAST,
I DIDN'T EVEN THINK OF IT.
IT'S BEEN A BLOW TO
THE WHOLE FAMILY.
WELL, I'VE GOT TO
GO AND SEE HER.
DADDY, I DON'T THINK YOU SHOULD.
YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND HOW I
FEEL ABOUT ELLIE, DO YOU, PAM?
HE'S STILL IN LOVE
WITH MISS ELLIE.
HE LOVED MAMA, TOO.
DID HE?
HE NEVER SAYS THAT.
WHEN HE SPEAKS OF HER AT ALL,
IT'S WITH A KIND OF
REVERENCE, BUT...
NOT WITH THE KIND OF PASSION
HE SEEMS TO FEEL FOR MISS ELLIE.
ELLIE EWING WAS SOMEBODY
VERY SPECIAL TO HIM.
IT WAS HIS FIRST LOVE.
HE LOST HER.
JOCK?
WE WERE TALKING, AND
YOU DOZED RIGHT OFF.
I DON'T REMEMBER.
HA HA HA! IT DOESN'T MATTER.
MUST BE THOSE PAIN SHOTS.
HOW YOU FEELING?
I'M NOT SURE.
YOU'RE ALIVE.
YOU'RE STILL WITH ME.
AM I, JOCK?
OF COURSE YOU ARE.
MY ARM IS NUMB.
MAYBE I BETTER
CALL THE NURSE, HUH?
NO, JOCK.
MISS ELLIE, THERE'S SOMETHING
THAT I'VE GOT TO SAY TO CLEAR THE AIR.
DON'T, JOCK.
NOT NOW.
I NEVER LIED TO YOU OR
ANYONE ELSE, BELIEVE ME.
BACK IN THOSE DAYS,
I WAS IN COMPETITION WITH
DIGGER BARNES FOR YOU.
I WAS AFRAID THAT...
IF I TOLD YOU ANYTHING
ABOUT AMANDA, I'D LOSE YOU.
DON'T.
I DON'T WANT TO
HEAR ANY MORE, JOCK.
HI, MAMA.
J.R.
HOW YOU FEELING? BETTER?
I'M ALL RIGHT.
A LITTLE SLEEPY.
J.R., I'LL BUY YOU LUNCH.
LET MISS ELLIE
SLEEP A WHILE, HUH?
ALL RIGHT.
SEE YOU LATER, MAMA.
ABOUT THAT TRUST
FUND, J.R... OH, YES, SIR.
I... I SUPPOSE I COULD
MOVE ON THAT RIGHT AWAY.
WHY DON'T I CALL
HARV SMITHFIELD?
MAYBE HE CAN MEET
US FOR LUNCH, HUH?
YOU JUST FORGET IT.
I'VE DECIDED TO PUT IT OFF
TILL YOUR MOTHER FEELS BETTER.
I'LL TAKE IT ALL UP WITH HER.
WELL, IF YOU'RE SURE.
I'M SURE.
YOU DIDN'T FINISH YOUR
DINNER, MRS. EWING.
I THINK I DID VERY WELL.
IT'S NOT EASY TO WORK UP
AN APPETITE FOR WATERY SOUP.
WELL, TOMORROW YOU
CAN HAVE SOLID FOOD.
MAYBE I CAN ORDER A
STEAK FROM SOUTHFORK.
I THINK YOU'RE GETTING CHICKEN.
CHICKEN FOR A CATTLE
RANCHER. WONDERFUL.
HA HA HA HA!
HEY.
JOKING ALREADY, HUH?
I KNEW IT WOULDN'T BE
ABLE TO KEEP YOU DOWN.
DIGGER!
ELLIE.
WHAT A NICE SURPRISE.
WELL, I WAS GOING
TO COME EARLIER,
BUT I WASN'T SURE, SO I JUST
WANDERED AROUND FOR A WHILE.
THESE ARE FOR YOU.
WILDFLOWERS.
DIGGER.
WELL, I COULDN'T VERY WELL
AFFORD THOSE LONG-STEMMED ROSES.
THAT'S NOT THE REASON.
NO.
I REMEMBERED HOW
YOU USED TO LOOK
WHEN YOU USED TO
PICK THOSE IN THE FIELD...
FACE ALL LIT UP AND GLOWING.
DIGGER, YOU HAVE
THE LONGEST MEMORY.
YOU KNOW THESE MEAN MORE TO
ME THAN ALL THOSE FANCY BOUQUETS.
YOU REALLY MEAN THAT, ELLIE?
DID I EVER SAY
ANYTHING I DIDN'T MEAN?
ONE TIME I WISH YOU HAD...
WHEN YOU TOLD ME YOU WERE
GOING TO MARRY JOCK EWING.
DIGGER... WON'T YOU
EVER ACCEPT THAT?
NEVER.
ELLIE, DON'T YOU STILL
FEEL SOMETHING FOR ME?
THAT'S NOT FAIR.
I'M GOING TO ASK YOU AGAIN
WHEN YOU GET OUT OF HERE.
DIGGER...
NOW, I DON'T WANT
TO TIRE YOU OUT.
I'LL CALL YOU WHEN
YOU GET BACK HOME.
I'M GLAD YOU CAME TO SEE ME.
ELLIE, YOU'RE SO BEAUTIFUL.
YOU THINK SO, DIGGER?
I'M NOT THE SAME
ANYMORE, YOU KNOW.
NONSENSE. OF COURSE YOU ARE.
DID YOU SEE DIGGER?
YES, I DID, AND I HOPE HE
DIDN'T UPSET YOU TOO MUCH.
WELL, WHY DIDN'T YOU COME IN?
OH, I JUST THOUGHT YOU
TWO WOULD LIKE TO BE ALONE.
THAT NEVER STOPPED YOU BEFORE.
WHAT'S CHANGED, JOCK?
ELLIE, YOU JUST HAD SURGERY,
AND YOU KNOW HOW HE SETS
ME OFF WITH HIS MOANINGS
AND HIS COMPLAININGS
ABOUT US EWINGS.
I JUST DIDN'T WANT TO
UPSET YOU, THAT'S ALL.
HE ONLY CAME
BECAUSE HE STILL CARES.
YOU REALLY BELIEVE THAT?
IF YOU HADN'T MARRIED ME,
HE'D HAVE BEEN OUT OF
YOUR LIFE A LONG TIME AGO.
DIGGER MAY HAVE
HIS SHORTCOMINGS,
BUT HE'S ALWAYS
BEEN HONEST WITH ME,
WHICH IS MORE THAN YOU'VE BEEN.
HE'S A BLOWHARD, A LIAR,
AND A BULL-THROWER,
AND I DON'T LIKE
IT ONE LITTLE BIT
THAT YOU'RE DEFENDING HIM TO ME.
YOU CAN BE VERY
CALLOUS AND VERY CRUEL,
AND RIGHT NOW, I DON'T
WANT YOU AROUND.
Jock: WELL, YOU'RE
FINALLY HOME, MISS ELLIE.
Miss Ellie: I DIDN'T KNOW I
COULD MISS SOUTHFORK
SO MUCH IN TWO WEEKS.
FAMILY'S WAITING.
THEY'RE ANXIOUS TO SEE YOU.
WHAT ABOUT LUCY?
WELL, SHE'S THERE, TOO.
[DOOR OPENS]
MAMA! WELCOME HOME!
BOBBY.
PAM.
SUE ELLEN.
J.R.
I MISSED YOU AT
THE HOSPITAL, LUCY.
WELL, I'M SORRY I
COULDN'T COME, GRANDMA.
I REALLY AM GLAD YOU'RE HOME.
WELL, I'M GLAD TO BE HERE.
I'M A LITTLE TIRED
FROM THE DRIVE.
I THINK I'LL GO
UPSTAIRS FOR A WHILE.
I'D LOVE SOME COMPANY LATER ON.
YOUR SPIRITS SEEM
GOOD TODAY, MISS ELLIE.
WELL, SUE ELLEN,
I'M JUST GRATEFUL TO BE
ALIVE AND BACK ON THIS RANCH
THAT I LOVE SO MUCH.
YOU DO HAVE A
FULL LIFE, MISS ELLIE.
YOU ALWAYS HAVE.
MUST MAKE IT A LITTLE EASIER
TO ACCEPT WHAT
YOU'VE GONE THROUGH.
WE'RE ALL SO HAPPY
TO HAVE YOU BACK HOME.
EVERYONE EXCEPT LUCY.
WELL, MISS ELLIE,
LUCY'S SO YOUNG,
AND SHE'S FRIGHTENED.
SHE'LL COME AROUND.
JUST... JUST GIVE HER SOME TIME.
OH, I HOPE SO.
HAVE YOU DECIDED WHETHER OR NOT
YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE
RECONSTRUCTIVE SURGERY?
WELL, I HAVE 6 MONTHS
TO THINK ABOUT THAT.
OF COURSE, IT DOESN'T
DUPLICATE THE ORIGINAL BREAST,
BUT IT DOES MAKE YOU FEEL
KIND OF PUT BACK TOGETHER AGAIN.
HAS JOCK SAID ANYTHING?
ABOUT WHAT?
ABOUT HOW HE FEELS
ABOUT THE SURGERY.
NO, HE... HE HASN'T.
HE SAID THAT HE LOVES YOU.
YES.
YOU DON'T SOUND
LIKE YOU BELIEVE HIM.
I'M NOT SURE.
OF JOCK?
I DON'T KNOW IF I'LL EVER
BE SURE OF HIM AGAIN.
Dusty: HI, THERE.
HELLO.
I'M GLAD YOU ANSWERED THE PHONE.
I KNOW IT'S BEEN QUITE A WHILE,
BUT, UH, WITH MISS
ELLIE SICK AND ALL...
I COULD SEE YOU DAY
AFTER TOMORROW.
THAT'S FINE.
THERE'S A HOTEL IN FORT
WORTH THAT'S CALLED THE REGENT.
WELL, DUSTY, A HOTEL?
I DON'T THINK SO.
WELL, I'M GONNA
BE THERE AT 1:00,
AND IF YOU'RE NOT THERE,
THEN... THEN I'LL UNDERSTAND.
HEY, BOBBY.
DIDN'T EXPECT YOU IN TODAY.
DAD AND I ARE HAVING
A LITTLE EARLY LUNCH.
YOU WANT TO JOIN US?
NO, J.R. I CAME INTO
TOWN JUST TO TALK TO YOU.
I DIDN'T WANT TO BRING THIS UP
WHILE MAMA WAS
STILL IN THE HOSPITAL.
WHAT'S ON YOUR MIND, BOBBY?
ALAN BEAM.
OH, YEAH? WHAT'S HE UP TO?
I THOUGHT MAYBE YOU
COULD EXPLAIN THAT TO ME.
WHAT'S THAT SUPPOSED TO MEAN?
LIKE EXPLAINING WHY
A COUPLE OF DAYS
AFTER HE HAS A FIGHT
WITH YOU AT THE RODEO,
HE OPENS UP A HEADQUARTERS
FOR THE "DRAFT CLIFF BARNES
FOR CONGRESS" MOVEMENT.
WELL, THAT SHOULD TELL YOU
SOMETHING ABOUT THAT DUDE.
WELL, FILL ME IN.
WHAT ARE YOU TWO ARGUING ABOUT?
DIDN'T WANT TO BRING
YOU IN ON THIS, DADDY...
NOT QUITE YET, BECAUSE
I'M NOT QUITE SURE.
I THINK J.R.'s UP TO SOMETHING
THAT WE OUGHT TO PUT
A STOP TO RIGHT NOW.
THAT'S NONE OF YOUR BUSINESS.
IT IS MY BUSINESS!
I'VE BEEN BUSTING MY
BUTT DOWN IN AUSTIN,
TRYING TO GET AN INVESTIGATIVE
COMMITTEE TOGETHER
TO LOOK INTO CLIFF
BARNES AND THE O.L.M.,
ALL LEGAL AND ABOVEBOARD.
NOW I GET INFORMATION FROM UP
HERE THAT YOU'RE DOING SOMETHING
THAT'S GOING TO RUIN
EVERYTHING I'VE BEEN WORKING FOR.
NOW, I WANT TO KNOW...
HOLD IT, BOBBY. JUST HOLD IT.
WELL, WHAT ARE YOU
UP TO THIS TIME, J.R.?
ALL RIGHT.
I'M BEHIND THE MOVEMENT TO
DRAFT CLIFF BARNES FOR CONGRESS.
I PLANTED ALAN
BEAM IN HIS OFFICE,
AND I'M FOOTING THE
BILL FOR HIS CAMPAIGN.
WELL, YOU MUST BE CRAZY.
LIKE A FOX, DADDY.
IN ORDER FOR CLIFF BARNES
TO RUN FOR CONGRESS,
HE HAS TO RESIGN
FROM THE O.L.M. FIRST.
NOW, THAT'S THE LAW.
AND ONCE HE RESIGNS,
HE GETS OFF OUR BACKS,
WE CAN OPEN UP OUR WELLS,
DRILL ANYPLACE WE WANT.
J.R., YOU KNOW A MAN LIKE THAT
COULD DO US A LOT OF
HARM IN WASHINGTON.
OH, DAD, HE'S NOT GOING
TO GET TO WASHINGTON.
HE'S NOT EVEN GOING
TO GET THE NOMINATION.
ONCE HE RESIGNS, I PULL THE
RUG OUT FROM UNDERNEATH HIM,
AND ALL HIS FUNDS JUST DRY UP.
DADDY, WE CAN'T GO ALONG
WITH A DUMB STUNT LIKE THAT.
ONCE THE STATE SENATE
INVESTIGATES CLIFF,
HE'S GOING TO BE
THROWN OUT, ALL LEGAL.
NOW, THERE'S EVIDENCE IN
AUSTIN THAT HE'S TAKEN PAYOFFS.
WE FOLLOW THAT LEAD THROUGH,
AND EVERYTHING'S GONNA BE FINE.
BOBBY, WE DON'T
HAVE TIME FOR THAT.
THOSE COMMITTEES
MOVE LIKE SNAILS.
THEY'RE BLEEDING US DRY.
LOOK, I'M ALL FOR GETTING
RID OF CLIFF BARNES,
BUT NOT THIS WAY.
WELL, I'LL TELL YOU
BOYS SOMETHING.
I WANT TO GET RID OF
THAT DUDE ANY WAY WE CAN.
HE'D USE EVERY DIRTY TRICK IN
THE BOOK TO TRY TO BREAK US.
I DON'T THINK THAT WHAT
J.R.'s DOING IS ANY WORSE
THAN WHAT HE'S PULLED.
I'LL GO ALONG WITH YOU, J.R.
WELL, THEN, COUNT ME OUT.
WE DON'T COUNT ANYBODY OUT.
THIS IS THE EWING COMPANY,
AND YOU'RE PART OF IT.
FURTHERMORE, I DON'T WANT THIS
DISCUSSION TO GO OUT OF THIS OFFICE.
IF CLIFF BARNES EVER GETS
WIND OF WHAT'S GOING ON,
HELL, WE'LL NEVER
GET RID OF HIM.
IT SEEMS TO ME THIS
FAMILY HAS ENOUGH MONEY
TO WAIT OUT CLIFF BARNES
AND TAKE CARE OF HIM LEGALLY.
I DON'T UNDERSTAND THE RUSH.
YOU WANT ME TO KEEP
MY MOUTH SHUT, DADDY,
I'LL RESPECT YOUR WISHES.
I WON'T SAY ANYTHING... FOR NOW.
Jock: MISS ELLIE, BEEN A
LONG TIME... TOO LONG...
SINCE YOU'VE GRACED THIS TABLE.
I THINK YOU OUGHT
TO SAY A FEW WORDS
IN HONOR OF THE OCCASION.
WELL, I'M JUST GLAD
WE'RE ALL TOGETHER.
YOU KNOW HOW
IMPORTANT THAT IS TO ME.
WELL, I CAN'T THINK OF
ANYTHING ELSE TO SAY, SO, J.R.,
WOULD YOU PLEASE PASS ME A ROLL?
SURE.
WE'RE ALL GLAD
YOU'RE BACK, MAMA.
DO YOU FEEL THAT WAY, LUCY?
YOU'VE HARDLY TALKED
TO ME SINCE I CAME HOME.
WELL, I'VE BEEN
PRETTY BUSY, GRANDMA.
J.R., I NOTICED
THAT YOU AND BOBBY
WEREN'T SPEAKING TO
EACH OTHER AT COCKTAILS.
OH, THAT WAS NOTHING, MAMA...
JUST A LITTLE BUSINESS
ARGUMENT, THAT'S ALL.
IT WASN'T A LITTLE
ARGUMENT TO ME, J.R.
J.R.: IT WAS.
IT WASN'T, J.R. IT
WAS MORE... BOBBY!
SORRY, MAMA.
IT'S WONDERFUL.
THE EWINGS ARE BACK TO NORMAL.
[ALL LAUGHING]
[WHIMPERING]
[CRYING]
GOD, ELLIE.
WHAT'S WRONG?
GO AWAY, JOCK.
I WANT TO HELP.
I... I CAN'T LEAVE
YOU LIKE THIS.
NOTHING... NOTHING FITS.
I'M TELLING YOU,
IT'LL BE ALL RIGHT.
IT... IT DOESN'T MATTER.
WHY DOESN'T IT MATTER?
BECAUSE I'M NOT YOUNG ANYMORE?
DON'T YOU THINK I
CARE THE WAY I LOOK?
DON'T YOU CARE?
I CARE FOR YOU, ELLIE... YOU.
I'M JUST... JUST SO
HAPPY THAT YOU'RE ALIVE.
NOTHING ELSE MATTERS.
NOTHING AT ALL.
DOESN'T IT?
JOCK...
I'M DEFORMED.
DOESN'T THAT MATTER?
YOU ARE NOT DEFORMED, ELLIE.
IF YOU LOST AN ARM OR A LEG,
I'D SUFFER THAT
LOSS WITH YOU, TOO,
BUT IT WOULDN'T CHANGE
ANYTHING BETWEEN US.
I'M NOT TALKING
ABOUT AN ARM OR A LEG.
I'M TALKING ABOUT... MY BREAST.
WHAT DO YOU KNOW ABOUT THAT?
MARY LEE, I'M
REALLY NOT UP TO IT.
COULD YOU CALL LINDA
AND CANCEL OUR LUNCHEON?
MAYBE IN A COUPLE OF WEEKS.
THANKS, MARY LEE. BYE.
[TELEPHONE RINGS]
[RING]
HELLO?
Digger: HELLO, ELLIE?
DIGGER.
HOW NICE OF YOU TO CALL.
I TOLD YOU I WOULD.
I ALWAYS KEEP MY PROMISES.
WELL, I DON'T KNOW ABOUT THAT,
BUT I'M REALLY GLAD
TO HEAR FROM YOU
BECAUSE RIGHT NOW I FEEL AS IF
MY WHOLE WORLD HAD CAVED IN.
WELL, UH, ELLIE, I'D
SURE LIKE TO SEE YOU.
UH, DO YOU FEEL UP TO
MEETING SOMEPLACE?
YES. WHERE? I'LL MEET YOU.
HOW ABOUT CURTIS PARK?
WONDERFUL.
GIVE ME ABOUT AN HOUR.
GOOD-BYE, ELLIE.
BYE.
HELLO. THIS IS ROOM 721.
IT'S MR. FARLOW.
[KNOCK ON DOOR]
NEVER MIND.
HI. COME ON IN.
I SAT IN MY CAR FOR A LONG TIME.
I'M GLAD YOU'RE HERE.
OH, NONE FOR ME, DUSTY.
I CAN'T DRINK.
WELL, THAT'S OK.
DON'T YOU EVEN WANT TO KNOW WHY?
WELL, SURE, IF YOU
WANT TO TELL ME.
WELL, I MAY BE AN ALCOHOLIC.
I'M NOT SURE, BUT ANYWAY,
I DON'T WANT TO TAKE A CHANCE.
I WAS IN A REAL BAD ACCIDENT,
AND I ALMOST KILLED
MY BABY AND MYSELF.
OH, SUE ELLEN, I'M SORRY.
IT'S GOT TO HURT LIKE HELL.
I TRIED TO SHUT OUT EVERYTHING,
ALL MY FEELINGS,
AND I JUST WRAPPED MYSELF
UP IN MY OWN LITTLE COCOON.
YOU DON'T HAVE TO
DO THAT ANYMORE.
I DON'T KNOW... YOU'RE HERE NOW.
THIS IS, UH... THIS
IS VERY ELEGANT.
I'M RICH, REMEMBER?
BUT YOU WALKED AWAY
FROM ALL THAT MONEY.
YOU SAID YOU DIDN'T
WANT TO BE TIED DOWN.
YOU WANTED YOUR FREEDOM.
I CHANGED MY MIND.
BUT WHY?
BECAUSE I WANT YOU.
DUSTY, I CAN'T.
WHY NOT?
THERE'S NOTHING FOR
YOU AT SOUTHFORK.
YES, BUT I HAVE A LIFESTYLE
THAT I CAN'T CHANGE.
I DON'T THINK I HAVE
THAT KIND OF STRENGTH.
I'M OFFERING YOU MY STRENGTH.
IT'S TOO SOON.
DO YOU THINK ALL I WANTED
TO DO IS GET YOU IN THE SACK?
WELL, I TRIED NOT TO THINK.
I WANT YOU TO
UNDERSTAND SOMETHING.
I THINK YOU'RE VERY ATTRACTIVE
AND VERY KIND AND, UH...
INCREDIBLY DESIRABLE.
I JUST WANTED TO SEE IF I COULD
TAKE ONE STEP OUT OF THAT COCOON...
JUST ONE STEP.
NOBODY'S EVER GIVEN
ME WILDFLOWERS IN YEARS,
AND NOW TWICE.
OH, DIGGER.
HONEY, THOSE FLOWERS ARE
SUPPOSED TO MAKE YOU SMILE, NOT CRY.
NO TEARS.
ALL RIGHT.
YOU TIRED?
A LITTLE.
WELL, NOW, LET'S SIT DOWN.
JUST LET ME CLEAN
UP THIS BENCH HERE.
DON'T WANT TO GET THAT
DRESS ALL MESSED UP.
THE DRESS IS OLD,
DIGGER... THE WAY I FEEL.
ELLIE...
IT'S NONSENSE.
YOU DON'T LOOK ANY DIFFERENT
THAN YOU DID WHEN WE WAS DATING.
[CHUCKLES]
I WISH I COULD BELIEVE THAT.
WHAT? IT'S TRUE.
SAY, YOU KNOW, I REMEMBER
EVERY DAY WE EVER DATED.
REMEMBER THAT TIME YOU WAS
TEACHING ME HOW TO RIDE A HORSE?
HAD THAT BIG PALOMINO,
NAME OF, UH... UH... BUCKWHEAT.
I REMEMBER.
YEAH.
I STILL HAD OIL ON MY BOOTS.
HA HA HA!
YEAH.
YOU MUST HAVE SPENT HOURS
CLEANING UP THAT ANIMAL.
YOU PICKED THE ONLY SPOT OF MUD
IN THE WHOLE CORRAL TO FALL INTO.
YEAH.
I WASN'T MUCH OF A HORSEMAN.
IT DIDN'T MATTER.
NOBODY EVER REALLY
KNEW HOW GENTLE YOU WERE.
ONLY YOU.
OF COURSE, I HAD
A TERRIBLE TEMPER.
STILL DO.
WELL, I WISH THINGS WOULD
HAVE WORKED OUT DIFFERENTLY.
WE WERE GOOD FOR EACH OTHER.
FOR A WHILE.
WE STILL ARE.
DO YOU KNOW HOW MUCH
I'VE ALWAYS LOVED YOU?
DIGGER... WILLARD BARNES,
ALWAYS THE ROMANTIC.
WHAT DO YOU SAY?
WELL...
RIGHT NOW I WISH I COULD
BLANK OUT THE LAST FEW WEEKS;
BECOME THAT GIRL YOU REMEMBER.
YOU CAN, WITH ME.
WE COULD TRAVEL;
GET OUT OF TEXAS FOR A WHILE.
YOU'VE BEEN IN
ONE SPOT TOO LONG.
I BELONG AT SOUTHFORK, DIGGER.
WITH JOCK?
YOU DON'T NEED HIM, ELLIE.
HE'S COLD. HE'S MEAN.
HE STOLE MY OIL.
HE STOLE YOU FROM ME.
HE DIDN'T STEAL ME, DIGGER.
IF IT WASN'T FOR JOCK EWING,
WE'D BE MARRIED RIGHT NOW.
WE'D BE ON TOP OF THE WORLD.
I'D BE RICH.
I'D HAVE MY OWN OIL COMPANY.
I'D BE RESPECTED...
AND POWERFUL.
JOCK EWING... HE
RUINED IT FOR BOTH OF US.
NO, DIGGER.
IT WOULDN'T HAVE CHANGED,
AND NEITHER WOULD I.
I'D STILL BE JUST THE
SAME; NO DIFFERENT.
I WANTED TO TURN BACK THE CLOCK.
I CAN'T DO THAT.
I'M SORRY, DIGGER.
I HAVE TO GO NOW.
WHAT DID I SAY?
IT'S ALL RIGHT.
YOU JUST HELPED PUT
THINGS INTO PERSPECTIVE.
SAW MISS ELLIE YESTERDAY.
SEEMED TO HAVE A LOT
OF THAT OLD SPARK BACK IN.
YEAH, SHE'S DOING FINE.
HEY, WHAT'S WITH YOU?
HARDLY SAID A WORD ALL MORNING.
NOTHING. WHY?
THIS IS YOUR OLD BUDDY
RAY YOU'RE TALKING TO.
I'VE SEEN THAT LOOK BEFORE NOW.
GOT SOME FAMILY
PROBLEMS OR WHAT?
YOU A COWBOY OR A MIND READER?
JUST A FRIEND.
WANT TO TALK ABOUT IT?
NO. IT'S MY PROBLEM.
I'LL TAKE CARE OF IT.
OK.
[CAR HORN HONKS]
OH, FINE.
COME HERE, BOBBY.
I WANT TO TALK TO YOU.
I WANT TO GO OVER
THOSE FEED ORDERS.
I NEEDED YOUR HELP
TWO WEEKS AGO ON THAT.
YOU WERE TOO BUSY. I
TOOK CARE OF IT MYSELF.
I KNOW THAT, BUT I
WANT TO SEE THEM NOW.
I GOT WORK TO DO, DADDY.
RAY CAN HANDLE THAT. GET IN.
ALL RIGHT, LET'S SETTLE IT NOW.
WELL, THERE'S NOTHING TO SETTLE.
I JUST WANT TO SEE THE ORDERS.
I'M STILL RUNNING THIS RANCH.
AND I FIGURE YOU CAN
RUN IT WITHOUT ME.
WHY DON'T YOU GO TALK TO J.R.?
YOU SEEM HAPPY ENOUGH
WITH HIS DECISIONS.
I DON'T GIVE A DAMN ABOUT
CLIFF BARNES OR THE O.L.M.
IT'S YOUR MAMA, BOBBY.
DADDY, YOU CAN'T...
YOU CAN'T DROP A BOMB
LIKE THAT ON SOMEBODY
AND EXPECT THEM TO TURN
RIGHT AROUND AND ACT NORMAL.
WELL, I DON'T KNOW.
I'VE REALLY TRIED
WITH THAT WOMAN.
I REALLY HAVE.
WHEN I THINK EVERYTHING
IS OK, SUDDENLY IT...
IT ISN'T THERE ANYMORE.
I HAVE TRIED EVERYTHING
THAT I CAN THINK OF TO TELL HER
HOW MUCH I LOVE HER.
WHAT HAPPENED
BETWEEN AMANDA AND ME
HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH US.
DADDY, I'D...
I'D LIKE TO HELP YOU, BUT
I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO.
YEAH, YEAH.
I UNDERSTAND THAT, BOBBY.
I JUST... I JUST HAD TO
HAVE SOMEBODY TO TALK TO,
AND WELL, I...
I JUST COULDN'T THINK
OF ANYBODY BUT YOU.
LET'S GO BACK TO THE RANCH.
YEAH.
[STARTS ENGINE]
LUCY, ARE YOU HOME?
Lucy: YES, GRANDMA?
WELL, COME DOWN. I
WANT TO TALK TO YOU.
I'VE GOT TO GET BACK TO
MY STUDYING, GRANDMA.
WHY HAVE YOU BEEN
AVOIDING ME, LUCY?
I HAVEN'T BEEN.
YOU DIDN'T VISIT
ME AT THE HOSPITAL.
WE'VE ONLY SEEN EACH OTHER
AT BREAKFAST AND DINNER,
AND THEN YOU NEVER SPEAK TO ME.
CAN I GO NOW, GRANDMA?
HAVE I DONE
SOMETHING TO HURT YOU?
NO.
BUT I HAVE.
YOU'RE NOT BEING
TRUTHFUL WITH ME.
I DON'T KNOW WHAT
YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT.
I HAD CANCER, LUCY,
AND YOU'RE MY GRANDDAUGHTER.
AND NOW YOU'RE AFRAID
YOU'LL INHERIT IT FROM ME.
I DON'T WANT TO TALK
ABOUT THIS, GRANDMA.
WE HAVE TO TALK ABOUT IT.
WHY?
THERE'S NOTHING
I CAN DO ABOUT IT,
AND TALKING ABOUT IT IS
NOT GONNA MAKE IT GO AWAY.
THEN YOU'RE JUST
GONNA GO ON HATING ME?
I DON'T HATE YOU.
I THINK YOU DO.
OH, GRANDMA.
I FEEL SO AWFUL ABOUT
WHAT HAPPENED TO YOU,
BUT THIS ISN'T
GONNA DO ANY GOOD.
I DON'T WANT TO TALK ABOUT IT.
WELL, YOU'RE RIGHT.
I DO HATE YOU FOR GETTING
SICK AND FOR MAKING ME WORRY.
WHY ME, GRANDMA? WHY ME?
WHY ME, LUCY?
OH, GRANDMA, I'M JUST SO SCARED.
I DON'T WANT TO GO THROUGH
WHAT YOU WENT THROUGH.
LUCY...
BECAUSE IT HAPPENED TO ME
DOESN'T MEAN IT'S INEVITABLE
THAT YOU'LL HAVE IT, TOO.
BUT I DON'T WANT YOU TO
AVOID REGULAR EXAMINATIONS,
LEARNING ABOUT YOUR OWN BODY,
JUST BECAUSE YOU'RE FRIGHTENED.
WELL, REGULAR EXAMINATIONS
DIDN'T STOP IT WITH YOU,
SO WHAT GOOD IS IT?
I'M ALIVE, LUCY.
I WOULDN'T WANT
TO LIVE LIKE THAT.
WOULD YOU RATHER I WAS DEAD?
NO, GRANDMA.
THEN, LUCY, I DON'T THINK I
HAVE TO SAY ANYTHING ELSE.
I GUESS NOT.
BUT HOW DO I LEARN
HOW TO HANDLE THE FEAR?
WE ALL HAVE TO LIVE WITH
FEAR SOMETIMES, LUCY,
BUT WE HAVE TO
LEARN TO DEAL WITH IT
AND GET ON TO THE
BUSINESS OF LIVING.
I DON'T KNOW IF I
CAN... BUT I'LL TRY.
HI, MAMA.
HELLO, BOBBY.
WOULD YOU EXCUSE
YOUR DADDY AND ME?
SURE.
JOCK...
WHAT IS IT, MISS ELLIE?
JOCK, I WAS VERY HURT WHEN
YOU TOLD ME ABOUT AMANDA.
I NEVER MEANT TO HURT YOU.
BUT IF YOU HADN'T
TOLD ME ABOUT HER,
I WOULD HAVE FOUND
SOMETHING ELSE TO TRY
AND DRIVE YOU AWAY.
DRIVE ME AWAY? WHY?
BECAUSE I WAS SO AFRAID OF
LOSING YOU AFTER THE OPERATION.
I'M NOT HAPPY ABOUT AMANDA,
BUT I... I REALIZE I
USED HER AS AN EXCUSE
SO THAT IF YOU DID LEAVE ME,
I COULD PRETEND IT WAS HER,
AND NOT BECAUSE...
BECAUSE YOU COULDN'T BEAR
TO LOOK AT ME OR TOUCH ME.
NEVER.
I'M STILL AFRAID I'LL LOSE YOU,
AND I DON'T KNOW
HOW TO CHANGE THAT,
BUT... BUT IF YOU'LL
BE PATIENT WITH ME,
MAYBE... MAYBE WE
CAN MAKE IT WORK AGAIN.
I'LL TRY, JOCK.
I LOVE YOU.
