Dallas (1978–1991): Season 3, Episode 13 - Mother of the Year - full transcript

NOW, I'M GONNA SELL THOSE LEASES

FOR 75 CENTS ON THE DOLLAR.

NOW, DADDY, YOU CAN'T
DO THIS. YOU JUST CAN'T.

SIT DOWN AND SHUT UP, J.R.

THOSE ASIAN WELLS ARE
GONNA COME THROUGH.

YOU SAID SO YOURSELF.

I WANNA TELL YOU BOYS

THAT WE DON'T SHOOT
CRAPS WITH SOUTHFORK,

IS THAT PLAIN?

WHAT YOU'RE REALLY DOING

IS USING THAT BABY AS A WEAPON



SO YOU CAN KEEP THE EWING NAME,

BECAUSE THAT'S
ALL YOU CARE ABOUT.

YOU'RE A PARASITE.

YOU'RE INCAPABLE OF LOVING.

ALL YOU CAN DO IS USE.

I'M STILL YOUR BROTHER.

BOBBY, AS FAR AS I'M CONCERNED,

I'M AN ONLY CHILD.

CAPTIONING MADE
POSSIBLE BY WARNER BROS.

[BABY CRYING]

[CRYING CONTINUES]

[CRYING SLOWS]

MRS. EWING, DID YOU CHANGE HIM?

YOU SHOULDN'T BE DOING THAT.



WELL, IT'S ALL RIGHT.

I'M FINISHED.

WHY DON'T YOU GO BACK TO BED?

THAT BABY IS CERTAINLY LUCKY

TO HAVE YOU, MRS. EWING.

POOR LITTLE THING.

HIS MOTHER JUST
DOESN'T SEEM TO CARE.

NOW, DON'T BE TOO HARD ON HER.

SHE'S BEEN THROUGH A LOT.

IT'S NOT NATURAL.

HE'S ALMOST ASLEEP NOW.

WHY DON'T YOU TRY AND GET SOME?

HE'LL BE SCREAMING
FOR HIS BREAKFAST SOON.

THANK YOU.

[BABY COOING]

[FUSSING]

THE BABY ALL RIGHT?

YES.

HE JUST NEEDED CHANGING.

MRS. REEVES STILL THERE?

YES.

I SUPPOSE PAMELA'S THERE, TOO.

SUE ELLEN, I'M ASKING
YOU A QUESTION.

WOULD YOU BE SO
KIND AS TO ANSWER ME?

YES, SHE WAS THERE.

NOW, WE CAN DISCUSS
THIS AT ANOTHER TIME?

NO, WE'RE GONNA
DISCUSS IT RIGHT NOW.

NOW, I WANNA KNOW WHY
PAMELA ALWAYS MANAGES TO GET

TO LITTLE JOHN BEFORE YOU DO.

WHAT DIFFERENCE DOES IT MAKE?

WELL, IT MAKES A
DIFFERENCE TO ME

AND TO MY MAMA AND DADDY, TOO.

THEY MENTION IT OFTEN ENOUGH.

REALLY?

AND WHAT DO THEY SAY?

THEY SAY YOU DON'T TAKE
ANY INTEREST IN THE CHILD.

THAT IS NOT TRUE.

OF COURSE IT'S TRUE.

WHY AM I PAYING
THAT PSYCHIATRIST?

THE ONLY REASON I'M
LETTING YOU GO TO HIM

IS SO YOU CAN PULL
YOURSELF TOGETHER

AND START TAKING
CARE OF THE CHILD.

WHAT DO YOU WANT,
J.R., A MIRACLE CURE?

EVERYTHING TAKES TIME.

SUE ELLEN, YOU ARE
AN UNFIT MOTHER.

AND YOU... YOU ARE AN
UNFIT FATHER AND HUSBAND,

BUT I DON'T SEE YOU
GOING TO A DOCTOR

TO TRY TO IMPROVE THE SITUATION.

SUE ELLEN, THE CHILD
IS YOUR RESPONSIBILITY.

NOW, I DO NOT WANT MY
SISTER-IN-LAW RAISING IT.

Sue Ellen: YOU HAVEN'T
SO MUCH AS LOOKED AT HIM

SINCE WE CAME HOME
FROM THE HOSPITAL.

HE HAS 2 PARENTS, YOU KNOW.

WHAT ABOUT YOUR
RESPONSIBILITIES?

J.R.: NOW, DON'T THINK
YOU CAN GET OUT OF THIS

BY TURNING IT AROUND.

YOUR CHILD IS GONNA GROW UP

NOT KNOWING WHO HIS MOTHER IS.

I'VE HAD ENOUGH OF THIS.

I'M VERY TIRED.

NO. WE'RE GONNA GET THIS
THING SETTLED, SUE ELLEN.

NOT NOW, FOR HEAVEN'S SAKE.

WE CAN TALK ABOUT
IT IN THE MORNING.

I WANT TO TALK TO THAT
PSYCHIATRIST OF YOURS,

THAT'S WHO I WANT TO TALK TO.

NOW, SOMETHING'S GOTTA BE DONE!

IN THE MORNING, J.R., PLEASE!

WHAT'S GOING ON?

THEY'RE GONNA WAKE UP THE BABY.

YEAH, AND THE WHOLE
HOUSE FROM THE SOUNDS OF IT.

WELL, WHAT'S IT ABOUT?

ABOUT YOU.

J.R.'s ANGRY THAT YOU'RE
ALWAYS WITH LITTLE JOHN.

I'M NOT ALWAYS WITH THE BABY.

IT'S JUST WHEN HE CRIES, I
WANT TO SEE THAT HE'S ALL RIGHT.

HONEY, THE SITUATION
IS GETTING SERIOUS,

AND I THINK WE
SHOULD TALK ABOUT IT,

BECAUSE J.R.'s RIGHT.

ABOUT WHAT?

YOU'VE GOT NO BUSINESS

BEING WITH THAT
BABY ALL THE TIME.

I'M NOT ALWAYS WITH THE BABY.

ONLY... ONLY WHEN?

WHEN HE NEEDS ME.

HONEY, IF IT WERE UP
TO YOU TO DECIDE THAT,

IT WOULD BE 24 HOURS A DAY.

NOW, HE'S BECOMING
AN OBSESSION WITH YOU.

HE DOESN'T HAVE ANYONE ELSE.

J.R. AND SUE ELLEN
WON'T EVEN TOUCH HIM.

THAT STILL DOESN'T
MAKE IT YOUR PROBLEM.

I'M JUST TRYING TO DO
WHAT'S BEST FOR BABY JOHN.

HE'S ALL I CARE ABOUT.

I DIDN'T MEAN THAT
THE WAY IT SOUNDED.

MY DADDY SWORE THERE'D NEVER BE

ANY DRILLING ON THIS LAND.

SO DID I.

WELL, IF I COULD DO ANYTHING
ABOUT IT, MISS ELLIE, I'D DO IT.

WHATEVER NEEDED DOING
SHOULD HAVE BEEN DONE YEARS AGO.

WHAT DO YOU MEAN?

I MEAN J.R.

YOU INSTILLED IN HIM A
DESIRE FOR POWER AND MONEY.

DOESN'T SEEM TO CARE
ABOUT ANYTHING ELSE...

EVEN HIS HOME.

WELL, DAMN IT, MISS ELLIE,

I DIDN'T TELL HIM TO
OPEN UP THIS WELL.

YOU DID THAT.

THERE WAS NO CHOICE.

IT WAS EITHER PUMP
OIL OUT OF SOUTHFORK,

OR... OR LOSE THE
RANCH TO THE BANKS.

LET'S GO.

I'LL HELP YOU.

I CAN DO IT!

LET ME DO IT, ELLIE.

Jock: I'LL DROP YOU OFF
AT THE HOUSE, MISS ELLIE,

THEN HEAD INTO TOWN FOR THAT
MEETING WITH VAUGHN LELAND.

WELL, RAY'S GETTIN' READY

TO START EXCAVATING
FOR HIS HOUSE.

IT'S NOT THE BEST PIECE OF LAND,

BUT RAY'LL MAKE
SOMETHING OUT OF IT.

[HORN HONKS]

HEY, JOCK!

HEY, BEFORE WE GO ANY FURTHER,

I GOT A COUPLE THINGS HERE I
WANT TO SHOW YOU ON THESE PLANS.

NOW, THIS WALL THAT
WE'RE WORKING ON

OVER HERE ON THE RIGHT,

THAT'S THIS ONE
RIGHT HERE, RIGHT?

WELL, IT LOOKS TO ME LIKE...

MORNING, KRISTIN.

GOOD MORNING, J.R.

THANK YOU.

MORNING, J.R.

COFFEE'S ALL GONE,

BUT THERE'S A FRESH
POT ALMOST READY.

J.R., THEY'RE ALL IN THERE.

WHO'S ALL IN THERE?

BOBBY, YOUR DADDY,
AND VAUGHN LELAND.

VAUGHN LELAND?

HELLO, BOBBY. MORNING. DAD.

WELL, VAUGHN, LOOK WHO'S HERE.

HOW YOU DOING?

I SEE YOU'RE ALL AT IT
HOT AND HEAVY ALREADY.

SIT DOWN, J.R.

I GOT SOMETHING TO SAY.

ALL RIGHT, SIR.

NOW, LELAND, MY EXPERTS TELL ME

THAT THOSE WELLS IN THE FAR EAST

WILL EVENTUALLY COME IN.

NOW, IF SOUTHFORK
HADN'T BEEN USED

TO BACK UP THOSE LOANS
FOR THAT FAR EAST DRILLING,

I MIGHT HAVE BEEN
WILLING TO GUT IT OUT.

BUT NOW I'M GONNA
SELL THOSE LEASES

FOR 75 CENTS ON THE DOLLAR.

DADDY, YOU CAN'T DO THIS.

YOU JUST CAN'T.

SIT DOWN AND SHUT UP, J.R.

IT'S A HELL OF A DEAL, VAUGHN.

YOU THINK YOU CAN PUT
TOGETHER SOME BUYERS?

WELL, THIS IS QUITE A SURPRISE.

WE'RE TALKING
ABOUT A LOT OF MONEY.

LET ME SEE IF I CAN GET SOME
KIND OF A COMBINE TOGETHER.

I'LL GET BACK TO YOU BY FRIDAY.

WELL, NOW, YOU DO THAT.

DADDY, WHEN DID YOU
MAKE THIS DECISION?

THIS MORNING.

WHEN I SAW THE LOOK
ON YOUR MOTHER'S FACE

AS SHE WATCHED A
CREW ON SECTION 40.

SHE AGREED THAT WE COULD
DRILL ON SOUTHFORK, DADDY.

SHE AGREED BECAUSE SHE
DIDN'T HAVE ANY OTHER CHOICE.

AND I'M GONNA DO
EVERYTHING I CAN

TO STOP IT, YOU UNDERSTAND?

DADDY, THIS IS SOMETHING

WE SHOULD SIT DOWN AND DISCUSS.

NOT A DAMN THING
TO DISCUSS, BOBBY.

YOUR MAMA'S BEEN THROUGH ENOUGH.

AND I DON'T WANT THIS RANCH

TURNED INTO AN OIL FIELD.

THOSE ASIAN WELLS ARE
GONNA COME THROUGH.

YOU SAID SO YOURSELF.

J.R., THERE'S ONLY ONE THING

I'M INTERESTED IN RIGHT
NOW, AND THAT'S CASH.

WELL, WE'LL GET CASH.

WE JUST NEED TIME, THAT'S ALL.

WELL, WE'RE JUST ABOUT
TO RUN OUT OF TIME, J.R.

I WANT CASH, AND I WANT IT FAST.

I WANT TO GET THAT MONEY

BEFORE WE'RE FORCED TO PUMP OIL

OUT OF SECTION 40,
YOU UNDERSTAND?

DADDY, WHAT J.R. DID,
MORTGAGING SOUTHFORK,

YOU KNOW HOW I FEEL ABOUT
THAT, BUT IT'S DONE NOW.

IT'S A GAMBLE.

WE SHOULD RIDE IT OUT.

IT'S NOT A GAMBLE!

LISTEN.

I BEEN AROUND THIS
BUSINESS LONG ENOUGH

TO KNOW THAT THERE'S
NO GUARANTEES.

IT'S A CRAP SHOOT, AND
I WANNA TELL YOU BOYS

THAT WE DON'T SHOOT
CRAPS WITH SOUTHFORK,

IS THAT PLAIN?

WELL, IF YOU'LL EXCUSE ME,

I GUESS I'M NOT NEEDED
AROUND HERE ANY LONGER.

BOBBY.

DAD.

CONNIE.

J.R.

I'M GOING TO THE
CATTLEMEN'S CLUB.

WHEN WILL YOU BE BACK?

I DON'T KNOW.

SHOULD I GET A TABLE
FOR YOU, MR. EWING?

WHAT'S THAT?

WILL YOU BE STAYING
TO LUNCH, SIR?

THIS IS MY LUNCH, GEORGE.

THANK YOU.

J.R.

WELL, HELLO, BOBBY.

YOU COME TO AUDIT MY BAR BILL?

NO, I CAME HERE TO TALK.

I GOT GEORGE TO TALK
TO, DON'T I, GEORGE?

I KNOW WHAT DRIVES YOU, J.R.

I'M JUST SORRY I
HAD TO BE THE ONE

TO BLOW THE WHISTLE ON YOU.

BOBBY, YOU KNOW,
I JUST CAN'T BELIEVE

THAT YOU AND I HAVE THE
SAME MAMA AND DADDY.

YOU'RE JUST TOO DAMN GOOD
TO BE RICH, YOU KNOW THAT?

IF YOU HADN'T
MORTGAGED SOUTHFORK,

I WOULDN'T HAVE SAID
ANYTHING, NOT TO ANYBODY.

MAYBE YOUR GAMBLE
WOULD HAVE PAID OFF.

I DON'T GAMBLE.

THOSE ASIAN OIL WELLS
ARE GONNA COME IN.

GEORGE?

J.R., THE BOOZE ISN'T
GONNA SOLVE ANYTHING.

I DON'T NEED YOUR ADVICE, BOBBY.

AND I DON'T UNDERSTAND
YOUR SUDDEN CONCERN

FOR MY WELFARE, EITHER.

I'M STILL YOUR BROTHER.

BOBBY, AS FAR AS I'M CONCERNED,

I'M AN ONLY CHILD.

AHH.

[INDISTINCT CONVERSATION]

Woman: I CAN HARDLY BELIEVE
WHAT SHE WAS WEARING

TO THAT FORMAL DINNER PARTY.

WHY, IT WAS THE TACKIEST
THING I'D EVER SEEN.

WELL, YOU KNOW, HONEY, SHE'S NEVER
HAD ANY TASTE AND SHE NEVER WILL.

HAVE YOU SEEN HER MOTHER?

DID YOU SEE THAT RATTY
FUR SHE WAS WEARING?

OH, MY LAND, YOU
WILL NOT BELIEVE

WHO JUST WALKED IN THE DOOR.

WHY, SUE ELLEN, IT'S WONDERFUL

TO SEE YOU AGAIN, HONEY.

COME ON IN HERE.

CLARA, FAITH, LOOK WHO'S HERE.

WELL, SUE ELLEN, GOLLY.

HOW HAVE YOU BEEN?

AND HOW'S THAT DARLING
LITTLE BOY OF YOURS?

WELL, LITTLE JOHN IS JUST FINE.

HE'S GROWING AN INCH A MINUTE.

CLARA'S GOING ON A
TRIP. DID YOU KNOW THAT?

Woman: LADIES, PLEASE,

I HAVE AN IMPORTANT
ANNOUNCEMENT.

I JUST GOT WORD THAT OUR SPEAKER

MR. MAX HUNGERFORD OF THE
DALLAS CITY PLANNING COMMISSION

CAN'T BE HERE TODAY.

BUT FORTUNATELY WE
DO HAVE A SUBSTITUTE.

MR. CLIFFORD BARNES,

FORMER HEAD OF THE
OFFICE OF LAND MANAGEMENT

NOW RUNNING FOR CONGRESS

HAS AGREED TO SPEAK
AT OUR LUNCHEON.

HE'LL BE WITH US IN A
FEW MINUTES, AND I KNOW...

ARE YOU ALL RIGHT, HONEY?

UH, WELL, ACTUALLY, I'M,
UH, NOT FEELING VERY WELL.

WILL YOU EXCUSE ME?

SUE ELLEN.

EXCUSE ME, CLIFF.

SUE ELLEN, PLEASE, DON'T GO.

I NEED TO TALK TO YOU.

MRS. EWING.

CLIFF, WE'VE GOTTA GET IN THERE.

UM, I'LL BE THERE,
I'LL BE THERE,

JUST PLEASE GIVE
ME A MINUTE, PLEASE.

SUE ELLEN, LOOK, UH,
WE CAN'T TALK HERE.

CAN I MEET YOU
AFTER THE MEETING?

I'M SORRY.

I'VE MADE OTHER PLANS, CLIFF.

WELL, WHEN, TOMORROW?

I DON'T WANT TO SEE YOU, CLIFF.

NOW LET GO OF ME.

CLIFF, THEY'RE READY.

SUE ELLEN, I NEED
TO TALK TO YOU.

[APPLAUSE]

CLIFF!

TOMORROW, MY PLACE, 3:00.

CLIFF, THEY'RE READY.

[BABY CRYING]

I SAW YOUR DADDY
TODAY, LITTLE JOHNNY.

HE WANTS TO SEE ME.

I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO.

I'M SO CONFUSED.

I DON'T EVEN KNOW HOW I FEEL.

SUE ELLEN?

YEAH.

I'M GLAD TO SEE THAT
LITTLE DISCUSSION

WE HAD LAST NIGHT IS
HAVING SOME RESULTS.

I DON'T KNOW WHAT
YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT.

[LITTLE JOHN CRYING]

UH, WELL, PICK HIM UP

OR CHANGE HIM AND FEED
HIM, WHATEVER HE NEEDS.

DO SOMETHING.

YOU'RE THE ONE WHO'S
BECOME THE EXPERT

ON HOW TO BE THE PERFECT PARENT.

YOU PICK HIM UP.

[LITTLE JOHN CRYING]

WELL, UH, SUE ELLEN... SHH!

BARNES TOOK OVER
FOR MAX HUNGERFORD

AND GAVE HIS
CONSERVATION SPEECH.

HE STILL THINKS IT'S
GONNA HAPPEN, DOES HE?

OH, YEAH.

"WE MUST PRESERVE EVERYTHING

THAT IS BEAUTIFUL IN OUR CITY."

YOU KNOW THE ONE.

YEAH, YEAH.

WELL, ANY PLEDGES OR DONATIONS

OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT?

WELL, NOT MUCH.

MY, UH, WIFE HAPPEN TO BE THERE?

I THINK SO.

YES, I DID SEE HER.

YEAH.

CLIFF WANTS TO START
MAKING MORE RADIO TIME.

HE'S ASKING FOR MORE MONEY.

ANYTHING LEFT?

WELL, A LITTLE.

WELL, WHEN THAT'S
FINISHED, THAT'S IT.

NOT ANOTHER PENNY FROM ME.

WE PULL THE PLUG
ON THE CAMPAIGN.

THAT'S IT.

I DID WHAT I SET OUT TO DO.

GOT BARNES OUT OF THE O.L.M.

THAT'S ALL I CARE ABOUT.

NO MORE MONEY FOR MR. BARNES.

NO MORE NOTHING.

HA HA HA HA.

HOW DO YOU WANT ME TO HANDLE IT?

WELL, JUST SPEND WHAT YOU GOT,

THE FASTER THE BETTER.

THEN WHAT?

WELL, THAT'S REALLY
HIS PROBLEM, ISN'T IT?

[LAUGHS]

HE WANTS ME TO MEET
HIM AT HIS PLACE AT 3:00.

HIS PLACE?

WELL, IT'S THE ONLY
PLACE THAT WE CAN MEET.

UH, WE SHOULDN'T BE
SEEN TOGETHER IN PUBLIC.

AM I UPSETTING SOME MORAL
CODE OF YOURS, DR. ELLBY?

WHY ARE YOU CONCERNED
WITH MY MORAL CODE?

UH, YOU DON'T THINK I
SHOULD MEET HIM, DO YOU?

SUE ELLEN, WHAT
YOU'RE SAYING IS THAT...

YOU DON'T KNOW IF YOU
WANT TO MEET HIM OR NOT.

YOU'RE NOT MUCH HELP.

OUR PURPOSE IS TO GET
YOU TO HELP YOURSELF.

WELL, IF I DON'T SEE HIM,

IT'LL MEAN I'M
STILL AFRAID OF HIM.

I THINK HE'S STILL
CAPABLE OF HURTING ME.

ARE YOU WILLING TO RISK THAT?

FRANKLY, I DON'T THINK I
CAN HANDLE ANY MORE PAIN.

WELL, YOU WERE WILLING TO
TAKE A CHANCE WITH DUSTY.

WAS I?

IT SEEMS TO ME I LET
IT GO ONLY SO FAR.

I KEPT MY FEELINGS UNDER WRAPS

SO HE WOULDN'T HURT ME EITHER.

I HAVE A FEW THINGS THAT I
NEED TO SAY TO MR. BARNES.

AND BESIDES, I DON'T, UH,
HAVE ANYTHING TO LOSE, DO I?

DO I HAVE ANYTHING TO LOSE?

YOU'RE THE BEST JUDGE OF THAT.

HEH.

HOW ABOUT A STRAIGHT ANSWER?

SUE ELLEN, THERE ARE SOME THINGS

YOU HAVE TO DO OR
DECIDE ON YOUR OWN.

THEN HOW ABOUT
SOME PLAIN OLD ADVICE?

MAYBE WE CAN TALK ABOUT
YOUR DEPENDENCE NEXT TIME.

[SNORTS]

PSYCHIATRISTS.

CONNIE. J.R.

KRISTIN, PLACE AN OVERSEAS CALL

TO HANK JOHNSON
AT THE DRILLING SITE.

RIGHT AWAY.

WHAT TIME IS IT
OVER THERE ANYWAY?

IT'S ABOUT 2 A.M.

GOOD, HE'S HALF ASLEEP.
HE WON'T LIE TO ME.

J.R., YOUR DADDY...

ANYTHING I CAN DO
TO HELP YOU, DADDY?

NO, JUST GETTING YOUR
PAPERS TO VAUGHN LELAND.

WE GOT A MEETING TODAY.

YOU GOTTA RECONSIDER, DADDY.

JUST ASK THE BANKS
FOR ANOTHER WEEK.

NOW YOU LISTEN,
AND YOU LISTEN GOOD.

THIS IS YOUR MESS, AND
I'M GONNA CLEAN IT UP,

AND I'M NOT ASKING
FAVORS OF ANYBODY.

[DOOR SLAMS]

[INTERCOM BUZZES]

WHAT IS IT?

HANK?

IS DADDY STILL IN THE OFFICE?

ALL RIGHT, WHAT LINE?

HANK?

HANK, WHAT IS GOING
ON OVER THERE?

I HAVEN'T HEARD
FROM YOU FOR 2 DAYS.

I DON'T WANT ANY EXCUSES,
I WANT INFORMATION,

I WANT CORE SAMPLE
REPORTS EVERY HOUR,

I WANT TO KNOW EXACTLY
WHAT'S GOING ON OVER THERE.

NO, YOU KNOW DAMN
WELL I DON'T TRUST YOU.

I DON'T TRUST ANYBODY.

WELL, I'LL TELL YOU WHAT'S
HAPPENING, OLD BUDDY.

AS OF FRIDAY, EWING OIL DOES
NOT OWN THOSE LEASES ANYMORE,

AND YOU ARE GONNA
BE OUT OF A JOB.

IF WE DON'T STRIKE
OIL BY FRIDAY...

IT'S ALL OVER.

FOR ALL OF US.

HI, PAM. HI.

WHAT'D YOU DO, BUY
OUT THE WHOLE STORE?

ALMOST... THEY HAD A SALE IN THE
BABY DEPARTMENT. I COULDN'T RESIST.

WELL, YOU WANT ME TO HELP
YOU WITH SOME OF THIS STUFF?

WELL, I LEFT SOME
THINGS OUTSIDE.

WOULD YOU GET THEM?

THERE'S MORE? OK.

THANK YOU.

WELL, WHAT DID THEY DO,
HAVE A GIVEAWAY DOWN THERE?

WELL, NO, THEY HAD
A SALE AT THE STORE.

WELL, GOOD, YOU
NEEDED SOME NEW THINGS.

WELL, THEY REALLY AREN'T FOR ME.

COMING THROUGH! COMING THROUGH!

WHERE DO YOU WANT THESE, PAM?

OH, THE NURSERY.

OK.

PAM?

WHAT'S GOING ON?

OH, NOTHING, I TOLD YOU,
THE STORE HAD A SALE.

I BOUGHT SOME
THINGS FOR BABY JOHN.

I GOT HIM A COWBOYS SWEATSHIRT,

AND I THINK HE'LL
BE ABLE TO WEAR IT

IN A COUPLE OF YEARS.

I'M GONNA TAKE THESE UPSTAIRS.

[KNOCK ON DOOR]

SUE ELLEN. PLEASE COME IN.

UH, WHY DON'T YOU SIT DOWN?

CAN I GET YOU A CUP OF COFFEE?

NO, THANKS.

WHY DID YOU WANT
TO SEE ME, CLIFF?

COME ON, SUE ELLEN,
PLEASE SIT DOWN.

I HAVEN'T MUCH TIME.

WHAT DO YOU WANT, CLIFF?

I JUST WANTED TO SEE YOU.

JUST TO SEE HOW YOU WERE DOING.

I'M FINE.

AND THE BABY?

HE'S FINE.

ANY DETAILS?

I MEAN, YOU KNOW, IS
HE WALKING, TALKING,

GETTING READY TO GO TO COLLEGE,

ANY MARRIAGE PLANS? WHAT?

HE'S FINE.

THAT'S ALL.

HAS HE SEEN A DOCTOR LATELY?

WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?

I... I DON'T KNOW,
I JUST THOUGHT

BABIES HAVE REGULAR CHECKUPS.

CLIFF, WHAT ARE THESE
QUESTIONS ALL ABOUT?

WELL, I'M JUST
CONCERNED ABOUT MY SON.

IS THERE ANYTHING
UNUSUAL ABOUT THAT?

CLIFF, YOU DON'T HAVE TO
PLAY THE LOVING FATHER,

AND YOU CERTAINLY DON'T HAVE TO
BE CONCERNED ABOUT MY WELFARE.

LOOK, SUE ELLEN, COME ON.

PLEASE TELL ME WHAT'S GOING ON.

I'M FINE, THE BABY IS FINE,

AND NEITHER OF US CAN
GET YOU TO WASHINGTON,

SO YOU CAN STOP WASTING
YOUR PRECIOUS TIME

WORRYING ABOUT EITHER ONE OF US.

YOU HAVE NO RIGHT TO SAY THAT.

IF I DON'T, WHO DOES?

YOU USED ME LIKE YOU
USED EVERYBODY ELSE.

TO GET AHEAD AND
TO DESTROY J.R. EWING,

AND TO HELL WITH ANYBODY ELSE.

I LOVED YOU, SUE ELLEN.

YOU MADE LOVE TO ME.

YOU NEVER LOVED
ANYBODY BUT YOURSELF.

YOU NEVER CARED ABOUT ME.

YOU USED ME TO GET AT J.R.,

AND WHEN I WANTED YOU
AND NEEDED YOU, YOU LEFT ME.

SO I USED YOU?

YES, THAT'S WHAT I THINK.

I THINK MEN ARE USERS.

NO, SUE ELLEN, YOU ARE THE USER.

YOU USED J.R. TO GET
POSITION AND WEALTH,

AND WHEN THAT
STARTED TO GO SOUR,

THEN YOU USED ME
TO GET BACK AT J.R.,

BECAUSE YOU KNEW

THAT I WAS THE ONE
PERSON THAT COULD DO THAT,

AND THEN YOU GOT
YOUR HOOKS INTO ME.

LET GO OF ME.

NO, YOU'RE NOT GOING
ANYWHERE, MRS. EWING.

YOU'RE GOING TO LISTEN TO ME

BECAUSE IT CONCERNS MY SON

BECAUSE WHAT YOU
ARE REALLY DOING NOW

IS USING THE BABY AS A WEAPON

SO YOU CAN KEEP THE EWING NAME

WHICH YOU CARE ABOUT

BECAUSE YOU'RE A PARASITE.

YOU'RE INCAPABLE OF LOVING...

EVEN YOUR SON!

YOU ARE WRONG!

I LOVE MY SON!

YOU CAN'T LOVE ANYONE.

ALL YOU CAN DO IS USE.

[DOOR CLOSES]

VAUGHN, I NEED A
WEEK, THAT'S ALL.

JUST ANOTHER WEEK.

J.R., I JUST GAVE
MY WORD TO JOCK.

NOW I CAN'T GO BACK ON IT.

STALL HIM.

YOUR FATHER?

STALL HIM.

OH, COME ON NOW, J.R.

BUSINESS IS BUSINESS.

THESE OIL LEASES ARE
A GOOD INVESTMENT.

WE'D BE CRAZY NOT
TO MOVE ON THEM.

VAUGHN...

DO YOU REMEMBER THE
COBURN SECURITY DEAL?

I'M CALLING IN THAT MARKER.

I'M SORRY, J.R.

SOME OTHER TIME.

THINGS ARE DIFFERENT NOW.

I'M TAKING MY ORDERS FROM JOCK.

I TOOK SOME RISKS FOR YOU.

BELIEVE ME, J.R., I
WOULD IF I COULD, BUT I...

I'M IN A SPOT NOW.

YOUR DADDY'S RUNNING THIS SHOW.

I CAN'T AFFORD TO CROSS HIM.

A WEEK! THAT'S ALL I'M ASKING!

I CAN'T, J.R.

I'M SORRY.

[DOOR CLOSES]

[DOOR CLOSES IN OTHER ROOM]

SUE ELLEN.

HELLO, J.R.

I'D HOPED YOU'D BE HOME EARLIER.

I DIDN'T THINK YOU CARED.

I WANT TO ASK YOU SOMETHING.

HONEY, CAN WE MAKE
IT ANOTHER TIME?

I'M TIRED.

I WANT TO GO TO BED
AND GET SOME SLEEP.

IT CAN'T WAIT.

ALL RIGHT. I'M LISTENING.

J.R., HAVE I CHANGED?

CHANGED?

HOW CHANGED?

ANY WAY?

ANY WAY YOU CAN THINK OF?

WELL, YOU STILL MAKE A
VERY NICE APPEARANCE.

AT TIMES, YOU'RE A
REAL PRETTY WOMAN.

I DON'T MEAN PHYSICALLY.

I MEAN... OTHER WAYS.

[SIGHS] HONEY, WHAT
ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?

CHANGED IN OTHER WAYS, J.R.!

AM I... AM I DIFFERENT
WITH PEOPLE NOW?

I MEAN...

DO I HURT THEM?

DO I USE THEM?

WHAT DO YOU MEAN, "USE THEM"?

USE THEM FOR MY OWN ENDS.

SUE ELLEN, YOU
HAVEN'T CHANGED A BIT.

YOU'RE EXACTLY THE SAME
AS WHEN I MARRIED YOU.

[DOOR CLOSES]

I GOT THE MAIL.

FOR YOU.

OH.

AND I GOT A CARD FROM MY
LITTLE FRIEND LUKE IN MONTANA.

READ IT TO ME.

WHAT DOES HE HAVE TO SAY?

OH, UH... "DEAR BOBBY,

"I'VE BEEN IN
MONTANA FOR A WHILE,

"BUT I HAVEN'T
HAD TIME TO WRITE.

"SURE IS PRETTY HERE.

"ME AND PA IS WORKING
WITH MY UNCLE ON THE FARM.

"PA LIKES IT.

"I DON'T KNOW IF I DO.

"BEST THING ABOUT
IT IS THE HORSES.

"MISS YOU AND PAM AND
ALL THE FOLKS AT THE RANCH.

"SAY HELLO FOR ME.

LUKE."

AND A PICTURE OF THE
UGLIEST BULL I EVER SAW.

[LAUGHS]

YOU SURE MISS
THAT BOY, DON'T YOU?

YEAH, I GUESS I DO.

[LITTLE JOHN CRYING]

PAM, NO.

BUT I'VE GOT TO GO SEE HIM.

LET MRS. REEVES HANDLE IT.

I'VE GOT TO GO TO HIM.

HONEY, LEAVE HIM ALONE.

BOBBY, THAT'S NOT FAIR.

I CAN'T STAND TO HEAR HIM CRY.

HONEY, JUST LET HIM BE.

HE'S NOT YOUR BABY.

HE'S THE CLOSEST I'LL
EVER COME TO HAVING ONE.

[LITTLE JOHN CRYING]

WHY DIDN'T YOU PICK HIM UP?

MRS. REEVES WILL
BE HERE ANY MINUTE.

YOU DIDN'T ANSWER MY QUESTION.

I ASKED WHY YOU
DIDN'T PICK HIM UP.

IT'S NOT GOOD TO PICK UP
A BABY EVERY TIME IT CRIES.

HE'S NOT A BABY, SUE ELLEN.

HE'S YOUR BABY.

I DON'T KNOW HOW YOU
CAN STAND TO HEAR HIM CRY.

PAMELA, I WANT YOU
TO PUT LITTLE JOHN

BACK IN THAT CRIB RIGHT NOW.

WHY?

BECAUSE THAT'S MRS. REEVES' JOB,

AND THAT'S WHAT
WE'RE PAYING HER FOR.

IT'S NO TROUBLE AT ALL.

I REALLY DON'T MIND.

[BABY CRYING]

Woman, on intercom: MRS.
EWING IS HERE, DOCTOR.

SEND HER IN, PLEASE.

[SLAMS DOOR]

BAD DAY?

I'D LIKE TO KNOW WHAT
I AM PAYING YOU FOR.

WE HAVE WASTED MONTHS
TALKING ABOUT THE PAST

WHEN YOU SHOULD BE HELPING
ME DEAL WITH THE PRESENT.

WHAT DO YOU MEAN, SUE ELLEN?

I CAME HERE MONTHS
AGO TELLING YOU

THAT I WANTED TO BE A
GOOD MOTHER TO MY CHILD.

MONTHS!

AND I STILL CAN'T HOLD MY CHILD.

I CAN'T EVEN RELATE TO HIM.

AND WHAT ARE YOU DOING ABOUT IT?

NOTHING. ABSOLUTELY NOTHING.

YOU'RE WASTING MY TIME
AND MY HUSBAND'S MONEY.

MY LIFE IS FALLING APART,

AND WE ARE PAYING THIS
UNGODLY SUM OF MONEY,

AND NOTHING HAS CHANGED.

WHAT HAPPENED WITH CLIFF?

[SIGHS]

HE SAID I DIDN'T CARE
ABOUT LITTLE JOHN.

HE SAID THAT I
COULDN'T LOVE ANYONE.

HE CALLED ME A PARASITE.

LET'S START FROM THE BEGINNING.

WHY DID HE WANT TO SEE YOU?

HE SAID HE WANTED TO
KNOW HOW THE CHILD WAS.

WELL, THAT SEEMS NORMAL.

YOU SAY HE'S SURE HE'S
THE FATHER OF YOUR CHILD.

HE DOESN'T CARE ABOUT THE BABY.

HE DOESN'T CARE ABOUT ME.

YOU DON'T BELIEVE ANYONE REALLY
CARES ABOUT YOU, LOVES YOU?

NO.

NOT CLIFF.

NOT J.R.

I DON'T THINK THEY'RE CAPABLE.

AND DUSTY?

I... I DON'T KNOW.

HE SAYS HE LOVES ME.

HE... HE MAY BELIEVE THAT.

I DON'T KNOW.

I DON'T EVEN TRUST HIM.

THEN YOU'RE STILL
AFRAID OF BEING HURT?

[WEEPS]

YES.

IS THAT THE WAY YOU WANT IT?

I DON'T HAVE THE CHOICE.

ALL OF IT IS YOUR CHOICE.

I DIDN'T CHOOSE
TO BE HURT BY CLIFF.

I DIDN'T CHOOSE
TO BE HURT BY J.R.

YOU SAID THAT DUSTY SEEMED,
UH, DIFFERENT FROM CLIFF OR J.R.

MAYBE HE IS... BUT MAYBE...

MAYBE I'M JUST UNABLE
TO CHOOSE THE RIGHT MEN.

SUE ELLEN... IF YOU
CONTINUE TO BE AFRAID,

PERHAPS YOU'LL NEVER BE ABLE TO.

[SIGHS]

[SIGHS]

HAVE I REJECTED MY BABY?

AM I AFRAID OF HIM, TOO?

DO YOU LOVE HIM?

YES... I LOVE HIM VERY MUCH.

THEN SHOW HIM.

TAKE A CHANCE.

I DON'T KNOW IF I CAN.

I'M AFRAID IF I LET
MY GUARD DOWN,

IF I LET ANYONE GET CLOSE TO ME,

EVEN THE BABY,
THAT I'LL BE HURT.

HOW CAN I MAKE
SURE THAT I WON'T BE?

YOU CAN'T BE SURE, SUE ELLEN...

BUT FOR THE BABY'S SAKE
AS WELL AS YOUR OWN...

ISN'T IT WORTH A TRY?

[LITTLE JOHN CRYING]

IS LITTLE JOHN ALL RIGHT?

HE'S FINE. HE'S JUST HUNGRY.

I'M GOING TO WARM HIS BOTTLE.

HE STARTED ON MEAT TODAY.

HE LOVED IT.

OF COURSE. HE'S A EWING.

WHERE'S SUE ELLEN?

[DIALING PHONE]

Sue Ellen, on the phone:
DUSTY FARLOW, PLEASE.

NO.

WAIT. WHEN WILL HE BE BACK?

JUST A FRIEND.

I'LL CALL BACK LATER. THANK YOU.

WHY, LUCY, I, UH, DIDN'T
HEAR YOU COME IN.

NO, AND I SUPPOSE
YOU DIDN'T HEAR

LITTLE JOHN SCREAMING
HIS LUNGS OUT, EITHER.

WHERE WAS MRS. REEVES?

SHE WAS THERE.

WHERE WERE YOU?

I REALLY DON'T CARE TO
DISCUSS THIS WITH YOU, LUCY.

OF COURSE NOT.

I'M JUST A KID, A NOTHING.

WHAT DIFFERENCE DOES IT MAKE
WHAT A KID THINKS AND FEELS?

THAT IS NOT WHAT I MEANT.

ISN'T IT?

I KNOW HOW MUCH KIDS
MEAN IN THIS FAMILY.

REALLY, LUCY, I AM, UH, NOT
UP TO YOUR DRAMATICS NOW.

WILL YOU PLEASE EXCUSE ME?

WHAT IS IT ABOUT THE EWINGS

THAT MAKES KIDS SO UNWANTED?

IS IT A CURSE OR SOMETHING?

IS EVERY CHILD IN THIS FAMILY
MEANT TO GROW UP WITHOUT PARENTS?

DON'T YOU COMPARE J.R.
AND ME WITH YOUR PARENTS.

WE'RE HERE IN THIS
HOUSE WITH OUR CHILD.

[LAUGHS] ARE YOU?

YOU DON'T WANT HIM ANY MORE
THAN MY PARENTS WANTED ME.

YOUR PARENTS LOVED YOU, LUCY.

BUT I DIDN'T KNOW IT.

ALL THE WHILE I WAS
GROWING UP, I NEVER SAW THEM.

BUT YOU AND VALENE
FOUND EACH OTHER AGAIN.

YOU MEAN LITTLE JOHN
IS GOING TO HAVE TO WAIT

UNTIL HE'S MY AGE TO FIND
OUT THAT YOU LOVE HIM?

NO.

I LOVE HIM NOW, LUCY.

WELL, YOU SURE HAVE A
FUNNY WAY OF SHOWING IT.

BUT DON'T WORRY
ABOUT HIM, SUE ELLEN,

HIS COUSIN LUCY WILL TEACH HIM

HOW TO SURVIVE IN THIS FAMILY.

I'LL SHOW HIM HOW TO
GROW UP WITHOUT PARENTS

AND MAKE THE WHOLE WORLD PAY.

WELL, EVERYTHING'S ORDERED.

SIMMON SAYS WE'LL BE HOOKED
UP TO THE PIPELINE BY TOMORROW.

ARE YOU LISTENING TO ME?

[LAUGHS] I'M SORRY, BOBBY.

DO WHAT YOU HAVE TO...

TILL I HEAR FROM VAUGHN LELAND.

DAVE THOMAS, HE CHECKED THE WELL,
SAYS IT'S IN GOOD WORKING ORDER.

WE SHOULD BE PUMPING
OIL BY DAY AFTER TOMORROW.

DADDY, LISTEN,
WHY DON'T YOU, UH...

WHY DON'T YOU TALK TO
THOSE BANKERS ONE MORE TIME?

SEE IF YOU CAN CONVINCE THEM

TO HOLD OFF DOING
ANYTHING FOR A WEEK OR 2.

WE MIGHT STRIKE
IT IN ASIA BY THEN.

NO WAY, BOBBY.

I'VE CRAWLED AFTER THOSE
BANKERS ENOUGH FOR THIS MESS,

AND I DON'T INTEND
TO CRAWL ANYMORE.

YOU'RE DETERMINED TO SELL
THOSE ASIAN LEASES, AREN'T YOU?

THAT'S RIGHT.

I'M GETTING AN ANSWER
TOMORROW FROM VAUGHN LELAND.

AND IF IT'S NOT YES...

WELL, I DON'T KNOW WHAT'S
GOING TO HAPPEN TO YOUR MAMA.

LET'S GO.

Bobby: LOOKS LIKE WE GOT
A LITTLE TROUBLE, DADDY.

YEAH, LET'S... LET'S TAKE A LOOK

AND SEE WHAT'S GOING ON.

[CHATTER ON POLICE RADIO]

Jock: IT'S SURE
SOMETHING, ALL RIGHT.

COP CAR AROUND HERE.

Bobby: WHAT'S GOING ON?

Ray: WELL, NOTHING SERIOUS.

SEEMS THAT WE GOT
OURSELVES A GENUINE RELIC HERE.

YEAH.

Jock: WELL, I'LL BE DAMNED.

HUH.

ANYBODY GOT ANY
IDEA WHO THIS IS?

PROBABLY SOME ITINERANT.

WANDERED THROUGH HERE,

KIND OF LIKED IT
AND JUST STAYED ON.

YOU GOT ANY IDEAS, JACK?

NOPE... BUT WE'LL CHECK IT OUT

WITH THE SHERIFF AND
THE MEDICAL EXAMINER.

WELL, CAN WE MOVE HIM?

I'D LIKE TO GET ON
WITH THE WORK HERE.

SURE THING, JUST AS SOON
AS THE CORONER GETS HERE.

[SIGHS]

BOY, SOME PEOPLE
DIG HOLES AND FIND OIL,

AND ALL I FIND'S A SKELETON.

HA.

[SIGHS]

[CAR DOORS CLOSE]

CAN I GET YOU SOMETHING, J.R.?

NO.

HANK HASN'T CALLED FROM
OVERSEAS YET, HAS HE?

YOU GOT IT.

WELL, DO YOU WANT ME
TO PUT IN ANOTHER CALL?

NO. [TELEPHONE BUZZES]

IT'S THE ASSOCIATED PRESS.

THEY WANT TO KNOW
SOMETHING ABOUT AN OIL WELL.

HELLO? J.R. EWING HERE.

WHAT?

YEAH, I OWN THOSE LEASES.

NO... NO, I'M IN IT ALONE.

THAT'S THE WAY I DO THINGS.

[SECOND TELEPHONE BUZZES]

WHAT?

WELL, NOW, I... I HAVEN'T GOT

A CONFIRMATION ON THAT YET.

J.R., HANK'S ON THE PHONE.

WHAT? HANK? HANG ON.

HANG ON JUST A SECOND NOW.

HELLO, HANK?

WHERE THE HELL HAVE YOU BEEN?

WHAT?

WHAT?

YEAAAAAHH!

WE HIT! HOLD IT! HOLD IT!

HANG ON. HANG ON
THERE. UH... HELLO?

YES, THAT'S A CONFIRMATION.

ABSOLUTELY.

A STRIKE IN THE PACIFIC.

MAYBE THE BIGGEST ONE EVER YET.

YEAH, YOU CAN QUOTE ME.

J.R. EWING. HA HA HA.

HELLO, HANK? HANG ON.

WE HIT IT! WE HIT IT!

AAAHHHH! HA HA!

WE HIT IT! IT'S A GUSHER!

A BIG ONE! HA HA HA!

[TELEPHONES RINGING]

I DON'T BELIEVE IT!

I DON'T HAVE TIME FOR THAT.

GO ANSWER THEM PHONES.

OH! HELLO? HELLO, HANK?

[TELEPHONES RINGING]

HELLO?

EWING OIL.

OH, MR. LEWIS. YES, IT'S TRUE.

UH, JUST A MINUTE, PLEASE.

THE OTHER PHONE.

EWING OIL.

DALLAS PRESS?

YES, THAT'S RIGHT.

WELL, HE'S ON THE PHONE.

JUST A MINUTE, PLEASE.

I'M GOING TO SOUTHFORK.

I CAN'T WAIT TO SEE

THE EXPRESSION ON THEIR FACES

WHEN THEY HEAR THE NEWS.

YAH-HOOO!

YES, IT'S TRUE.

NO, MR. EWING STILL
HASN'T ARRIVED.

WELL, THIS IS LUCY ANN EWING.

PHOTOGRAPHERS?

REALLY? WHEN?

GREAT.

WELL, I'LL BE READY.

DO YOU WANT US TO
WEAR ANYTHING SPECIAL?

ALL RIGHT. WE'LL DO THAT.

GOOD-BYE.

DON'T OPEN THE
CHAMPAGNE YET, TERESA.

LUCY IS HAVING THE
MOST WONDERFUL TIME.

I THINK SHE'S HEADED FOR A
CAREER IN PUBLIC RELATIONS.

I'M REALLY HAPPY, MISS ELLIE.

NOW THERE WON'T BE ANY
OIL DERRICKS ON SOUTHFORK.

I KNOW WHAT THAT MEANS TO YOU.

THANK YOU, PAM.

I HOPE EVERYONE GETS HERE SOON.

THE REPORTERS ARE ON THE WAY.

WELL, WHAT ABOUT J.R.?

I JUST CALLED THE OFFICE.

THEY SAID HE LEFT A WHILE AGO.

TERESA, WOULD YOU GET
OUT THE CAVIAR, PLEASE?

I GUESS YOU'RE DETERMINED
TO TURN THIS INTO A PARTY.

I GUESS I AM.

Jock: IF YOU'D CHECK THAT
OUT FOR ME TOMORROW.

I'LL DO IT, DADDY.

WHAT... WHAT'S GOING ON?

WE HAVE SOME WONDERFUL NEWS.

WE HEARD IT FROM THE A.P.

THE ASIAN OIL WELLS CAME IN.

[LAUGHS]

HOW ABOUT THAT, BOY? HA HA HA!

CONGRATULATIONS.

YES, MAN! MAN, IT'S GREAT!

[SIGHS]

[SIGHS]

WELL, MISS ELLIE...

LOOKS LIKE OUR
NIGHTMARE IS OVER.

I KNOW, JOCK.

IT'S WONDERFUL.

UH, WHERE'S J.R.?

WELL, HE'S ON HIS
WAY HOME FROM WORK.

I THINK WE'VE
STOLEN HIS THUNDER.

WELL, GOOD.

WAAAAAAHOOO!

BOY HOWDY! HAVE I GOT
SOME NEWS FOR YOU FOLKS!

WE'VE ALREADY HEARD IT, J.R.

THE PHONES HAVEN'T STOPPED
RINGING FOR THE LAST HALF HOUR.

YOU HEARD?

OF COURSE.

I'VE TOLD THE
REPORTERS EVERYTHING.

NOW THEY'RE SENDING
SOME PHOTOGRAPHERS OVER.

WHERE'S SUE ELLEN?

PROBABLY UPSTAIRS PRIMPING
FOR THE PHOTOGRAPHERS.

OH, I'VE GOTTA FIX MY OWN HAIR.

[LAUGHS]

WELL, I THINK WE OUGHT
TO GO ON A SPENDING BINGE.

Miss Ellie: THANK GOD.

THERE'LL BE NO
DRILLING ON SOUTHFORK.

WELL, THAT'S WHAT
YOUR DADDY WISHED.

I KNOW.

SOUTHFORK WILL
STAY JUST THE WAY IT IS.

Miss Ellie: I'M GRATEFUL.

HEY, NOW WAIT A MINUTE.

ISN'T ANYBODY GONNA
SAY SOMETHING LIKE...

"THANK YOU, J.R., FOR
MAKING US BILLIONAIRES"?

MAMA, DADDY, I DID THIS FOR YOU.

YOU JUST GAMBLED
OUR HOME, THAT'S ALL...

AND THAT SURE AS HELL AIN'T
ANYTHING TO BE PROUD OF, J.R.

YOU KNOW, J.R., IT MAY HAVE
WORKED OUT, BUT IT WASN'T WORTH IT.

I'VE JUST HAD THE WORST
FEW DAYS OF MY LIFE.

HOW ARE YOU GOING TO
MAKE UP TO ME FOR THAT?

I'LL TRY, MAMA.

WELL, YOU DAMN WELL BETTER.

I WILL, SIR. I PROMISE.

WELL, THAT'S ONE PROMISE I'M
GOING TO SEE THAT YOU KEEP,

BECAUSE FROM NOW ON, I'M
GOING TO RUN EWING OIL MYSELF

AND I'LL BE COMING INTO THE
OFFICE ON A REGULAR BASIS.

[SIGHS]

OH, NO. NOT FISH EGGS.

[LAUGHS] YOU DON'T
HAVE TO EAT IT, JOCK.

WELL, THAT'S REAL
NICE OF YOU, MISS ELLIE.

THANK YOU.

THAT'S ALL RIGHT, DADDY.

I'LL TAKE YOUR SHARE FOR YOU.

IT'S GOOD. PUT SOME
EGG AND ONION ON IT.

[LITTLE JOHN CRYING]

J.R.: NOW, YOU ALL
STAND BACK NOW.

I JIGGLED THIS UP ON THE WAY IN.

[LAUGHS]

HERE IT GOES.

[BABY COOING]

Sue Ellen: IT'S OK, PAM.

I'VE GOT HIM NOW.

[CRYING] I LOST HIM.

I LOST HIM.

NO, PAM... HE WAS NEVER YOURS.
