Dallas (1978–1991): Season 3, Episode 14 - Return Engagement - full transcript

HA HA HA!

GARY EWING, HOW
THE HELL ARE YOU?

FINE.

GARY?

OH, GARY.

I'M IN DALLAS. I
WANT TO SEE YOU.

OH, LORD. IT'S GOOD
TO HEAR YOUR VOICE.

VALENE EWING, WILL YOU MARRY ME?

GETTING MARRIED?

I HOPE THIS DIDN'T RUIN

YOUR WELL-PLANNED
LITTLE HOLIDAY, DARLING.



I HOPE YOU'LL FORGIVE ME. I
GOT TO GET RIGHT BACK TO DALLAS.

WHY? I WAS JUST STARTING
TO ENJOY HAVING YOU HERE.

BECAUSE ONE MARRIED BROTHER
IN THE FAMILY IS MORE THAN ENOUGH.

CAPTIONING MADE POSSIBLE
BY WARNER HOME VIDEO

LUCY, WHEN DOES YOUR BUS LEAVE?

OH... RIGHT AFTER SCHOOL.

YOU JUST BE SURE AND LEAVE A
PHONE WHERE YOU'RE STAYING,

YOU HEAR?

ALL THE CHEERLEADERS ARE
STAYING IN THE SAME PLACE...

THE MacARTHUR HOTEL.

I TELL YOU, I'D SURE LIKE TO

SEE THAT GAME MYSELF.

THE WAY THOSE 2
TEAMS ARE PLAYING,

S.M.U's GONNA HAVE QUITE
A TUSSLE THIS YEAR, I THINK.



WHY DOES MAMA HAVE TO KEEP PLAYING
THAT RECORD OVER AND OVER AGAIN?

IT'S STARTING TO GET TO ME.

I NEVER DID LIKE IT.

WHY? BECAUSE IT WAS ONE
OF MY DADDY'S FAVORITES?

OH, WHY DOES SHE
HAVE TO KEEP PLAYING IT

OVER AND OVER AGAIN ANYWAY?

BECAUSE IT'S
GARY'S BIRTHDAY, J.R.

WELL... I WISH SHE'D STOP...

ESPECIALLY THE MOOD
SHE'S BEEN IN LATELY.

NO POINT IN BROODING
OVER A NO-COUNT LIKE GARY.

DON'T YOU TALK ABOUT
MY DADDY LIKE THAT, J.R.!

A MAN DOESN'T HAVE TO BE THE
PRESIDENT OF A CORPORATION

TO AMOUNT TO SOMETHING, J.R.

HEY, NOW WAIT A MINUTE.

OUR BROTHER IS AN
ALCOHOLIC AND A GAMBLER.

THAT DOESN'T ADD UP
TO MUCH IN MY BOOK.

YOU NEED TO LEARN SOME MANNERS!

NOW WAIT A MINUTE. DON'T
TEACH ME MANNERS, BOY!

ALL RIGHT! NOW
LET'S JUST HOLD IT!

COOL IT, YOU HEAR?

I DON'T WANT MISS ELLIE HEARING.

THIS IS ONE DAY OF THE
YEAR THAT'S TOUGH FOR HER,

AND I DON'T WANT ANY
OF US TO MAKE IT WORSE.

YOU HEAR?

SORRY, GRANDDADDY.

I'M GOING TO SCHOOL NOW.

WELL, I BETTER GO, TOO.

I'VE GOT A BUSY COUPLE
OF DAYS AT THE STORE.

I'LL WALK YOU TO THE CAR.

I, UH, THINK I BETTER
GO SEE ABOUT MISS ELLIE.

WHY WERE YOU SO
HARD ON LUCY, J.R.?

WAS THAT ABSOLUTELY NECESSARY?

YOU KNOW, THIS PSYCHIATRIST
YOU'VE BEEN WORKING WITH

IS JUST DOING WONDERS FOR YOU.

ALL THIS SUDDEN COMPASSION
FOR OTHER PEOPLE.

IT'S DOWNRIGHT TOUCHING.

THIS IS NO GOOD, SWEETHEART.

WHY DON'T YOU COME DOWNSTAIRS?

LUCY'S LEAVING SOON FOR HOUSTON.

I WANT MY SON, JOCK.

I KNOW...

BUT EVEN IF WE COULD
FIND HIM, HE WOULDN'T COME.

YOU KNOW THAT.

AND MISS ELLIE, IF
HE DID COME BACK,

IT'D BE THE SAME OLD STORY.

HE'D RUN... LIKE ALWAYS.

DOGGONE IT. UM... SUE ELLEN,

WOULD YOU BRING ME
THAT RUST-COLORED TIE?

IT'S GOING TO BE AWFUL
QUIET AROUND HERE

WITH BOTH YOU AND LUCY
GONE AT THE SAME TIME.

WELL, THIS BUSINESS COULDN'T
BE AVOIDED, YOU KNOW?

I'M NOT COMPLAINING.

WELL, I HOPE YOU AND KRISTIN,

UH, MANAGE TO HAVE A
LITTLE FUN THIS WEEKEND.

A LONG WEEKEND CAN
BE MIGHTY LONG WITH, UH,

ALL WORK AND NO PLAY.

OH, I'M SURE SHE AND
I CAN FIND SOMETHING

TO KEEP US ENTERTAINED.

DON'T YOU WORRY AT ALL, J.R.?

ABOUT WHAT?

PUBLIC OPINION.

YOUR DISPLAY OF PERVERSE
CONDUCT IS RATHER OPEN.

SHE IS MY SISTER, YOU KNOW.

WELL, I'M A FIRM
BELIEVER IN NEPOTISM.

WHAT BETTER SECRETARY
FOR ME TO HAVE

THAN MY WIFE'S
LITTLE SISTER... HUH?

HELL, I TAKE HER EVERYPLACE.

NO...

ONLY FILTHY MINDS WOULD COME
TO THAT KIND OF CONCLUSION.

WELL, THERE'S NO SHORTAGE
OF FILTHY MINDS HERE IN DALLAS.

HEY, HEY.

DALLAS IS MY TOWN.

BEEN VERY KIND TO
ME... AND YOU, TOO.

OK. I'LL BE AT CONNELLY'S
IF YOU NEED ME.

I SERIOUSLY DOUBT
THAT I WILL, J.R.

SUE ELLEN, I HOPE
YOU'RE NOT THINKING

OF TAKING ADVANTAGE
OF MY ABSENCE.

WELL, OF COURSE NOT, J.R.

THERE'S NO NEED TO WORRY.

I INTEND TO BE JUST AS
DISCREET AS YOU ARE.

I CAN'T HELP IT.

I'M GOING TO MEET MY MAMA.

DON'T WORRY.

I WON'T MISS THE BUS.

I'VE GOT TO GO.
I'LL SEE YOU LATER.

BYE.

WELL, YOU DON'T
SEEM VERY CHEERFUL

FOR SOMEONE WHO'S
BEEN LOOKING FORWARD

TO THIS WEEKEND FOR MONTHS NOW.

I'M OK.

IT'S JUST HEARING
THAT RECORD, I GUESS.

OH, LUCY, I'M SORRY.

I DIDN'T MEAN TO UPSET YOU.

OH, YOU DIDN'T, REALLY.

IT'S NICE TO KNOW THERE'S
SOMEONE ELSE IN THIS HOUSE

WHO THINKS OF MY
DADDY BESIDES ME.

LUCY, DO YOU KNOW WHERE HE IS?

I WISH I DID.

BUT YOU SEE YOUR
MAMA, DON'T YOU?

IT'S ALL RIGHT, LUCY.

I KNOW YOU DO, AND I'M GLAD,

BUT THE NEXT TIME YOU SEE HER,

TELL HER I NEED TO TALK TO HER.

GRANDMA... PLEASE, LUCY.

I NEED TO TALK TO HER...
ANYWHERE SHE SAYS.

I'M ON MY WAY TO
MEET HER RIGHT NOW.

I'M GOING WITH YOU.

GRANDMA, YOU CAN'T.

IT'LL BE ALL RIGHT. I PROMISE.

I'LL JUST GET MY BAG.

GRANDMA, I'VE GOT TO GO
RIGHT TO SCHOOL AFTER I LEAVE.

THAT'S ALL RIGHT.
I'LL TAKE A TAXI BACK.

THERE SHE IS. MAMA!

HI, MAMA. I'M SORRY
ABOUT GRANDMA,

BUT SHE WANTED TO COME.

I WAS VERY INSISTENT, VALENE.

IT'S NOT LUCY'S FAULT.

HOW COULD IT BE
ANYBODY'S FAULT, MISS ELLIE?

I'M GLAD TO SEE YOU.

I'M GLAD TO SEE YOU, TOO.

VALENE, I NEED TO TALK TO YOU.

IS ANYTHING WRONG?

NO, IT'S JUST THAT...
VALENE, I NEED GARY.

HE'S MY SON IN A... IN A DIFFERENT
WAY FROM BOBBY AND J.R.

THEY'RE MORE JOCK'S...

BUT I... I NEED TO HAVE
GARY SOMEWHERE IN MY LIFE.

DO YOU TALK TO HIM?

SOMETIMES HE CALLS.

FROM WHERE?

WHERE IS HE, MAMA?

WELL, I DON'T KNOW.

I NEVER KNOW.

HE CALLS FROM DIFFERENT PLACES.

WHEN WILL HE CALL AGAIN?

I DON'T KNOW, IT...
IT'S NEVER REGULAR.

VALENE, TELL HIM
I... I NEED TO SEE HIM.

PLEASE.

YES, MA'AM. I... I WILL.

TELL HIM I... I DON'T EXPECT
HIM TO COME TO SOUTHFORK,

NOT AFTER THE WAY
HE WAS TREATED THERE.

TELL HIM I'LL... I'LL
MEET HIM ANYWHERE.

AS SOON AS HE CALLS, MISS ELLIE,

I'LL TELL HIM FIRST
THING... I PROMISE.

Sue Ellen: HELLO?

Man: SUE ELLEN.

YES?

WELL, HOW ARE YOU?

THIS IS RUDY MILLINGTON.

RUDY MILLINGTON?

OH, YES. KRISTIN'S YOUNG MAN.

ON AND OFF, YES,

BUT I'M TRYING TO CHANGE THAT.

THAT'S WHY I'M CALLING.

I JUST MOVED TO DALLAS, AND,
UH, I TRIED CALLING KRISTIN,

BUT THE NUMBER SHE GAVE
ME HAS BEEN DISCONNECTED.

CAN YOU TELL ME
WHERE I CAN FIND HER?

UM, WELL, SHE'S WORKING
FOR MY HUSBAND RIGHT NOW.

WELL, THEN I CAN REACH
HER AT THE OFFICE.

WELL, NOT TODAY.

UM, SHE WENT WITH J.R.
ON A... BUSINESS TRIP.

THEY LEFT EARLY THIS MORNING,

AND THEY'RE STAYING AT THE,
UH, CONNELLY HOTEL IN AUSTIN.

I'LL GIVE HER A CALL.

MAYBE I CAN TALK
HER INTO COMING BACK

AND SPENDING THE
WEEKEND WITH ME.

WELL, I RATHER DOUBT THAT.

YOU KNOW HOW
CONSCIENTIOUS KRISTIN IS

ABOUT HER WORK.

BUT I THINK THAT
YOU'D BE A REAL HERO

IF YOU, UH... SHOWED UP...

AND JUST SORT OF
RELIEVED THE DRUDGERY

OF A TOTALLY BUSINESS WEEKEND.

WELL, THANKS, SUE ELLEN.

I BELIEVE I'LL TAKE YOUR ADVICE.

WELL, YOU HAVE A
NICE TIME, YOU HEAR?

OH, I WILL. AND THANKS AGAIN.

OH, UH, THANK YOU.

HONEY?

GARY?

HI.

GARY, UM... WE HAVE TO TALK.

OK.

SO FAR THIS ISN'T
MUCH OF A TALK.

I KNOW.

CAN WE, UM, SIT DOWN?

SURE.

GARY, WHAT...

WHY, GARY?

YEAH, WELL, I, UH... I
HEARD FROM MY LAST BOSS.

YOU KNOW, THAT
POKER FIRM IN GARDENA.

CALIFORNIA?

YEAH. I JUST GOT A JOB.

WHAT DO YOU MEAN
YOU HEARD FROM HIM?

DID HE HAVE MY NUMBER?

NOPE.

WELL, THEN YOU
CALLED HIM, RIGHT?

YEAH, YOU KNOW, JUST
TO... AH, HECK, VALENE.

BUT WHY, GARY?

I MEAN, WE'RE DOING JUST FINE.

NO, WE'RE NOT!

I'M NOT.

I CAN'T JUST SIT
AROUND LIKE THIS.

WELL, THEN, GET A JOB.

NOT HERE, NOT
DALLAS OR FORT WORTH

OR ANYWHERE ELSE IN TEXAS.

BUT WHAT ABOUT US, YOU AND ME?

NOW, NOW, LET'S JUST
TAKE IT SLOW AND EASY.

YEAH, WELL, WE SAID
THAT MONTHS AGO,

AND WE'VE BEEN TAKING
IT REAL EASY... TOO EASY.

I MEAN, YOU HAVEN'T
EVEN SEEN LUCY YET.

BECAUSE WE DECIDED...

YEAH, I KNOW, NOT TO
BUILD UP HER HOPES

UNTIL WE WERE SURE WE
COULD MAKE IT TOGETHER.

BUT HOW LONG IS IT GONNA
BE BEFORE WE'RE SURE?

I DON'T KNOW.

LOOK, THIS VISIT WAS FINE,
LONGER THAN THE LAST ONE.

NEXT TIME... YEAH, YOU
STAY LONGER STILL?

AND I'LL HAVE NO SAY
IN THE MATTER AT ALL?

I'M SORRY.

YOUR MAMA CAME TO SEE ME TODAY.

SHE WANTS TO SEE YOU.

WHAT'D YOU TELL HER?

NOTHING.

I TOLD HER THAT I... I HEAR
FROM YOU NOW AND AGAIN.

GOOD.

SHE'S DESPERATE
TO SEE YOU, GARY.

I'M SORRY, VALENE.

SHE'D JUST DRAG ME RIGHT
BACK INTO THAT FAMILY.

NO, NO, NO, SHE
SAID SHE WOULDN'T.

YES, SHE WOULD!

SHE'S A LADY WHO THINKS FAMILY.

SHE CAN'T THINK ANY OTHER WAY.

GARY, YOU CAN'T KEEP ON
BEING AFRAID OF... OF HER, OF US.

LOOK, HONEY, IT'LL ALL
FALL INTO PLACE IN TIME.

JUST, PLEASE, DON'T PUSH IT.

NO, NO, GARY, IT ISN'T THAT WAY.

NOTHING'S GONNA
JUST FALL INTO PLACE.

WE HAVE GOT TO PUT
IT IN PLACE OURSELVES.

I'LL CALL YOU.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY.

WELL... WELL, WHAT DO YOU THINK?

VERY NICE.

NICE.

NOTHING BUT THE
BEST FOR YOU, KRISTIN.

OH, I WISH WE COULD'VE GOTTEN
HERE EARLIER LIKE WE PLANNED.

YOU KNOW I HAD TO STOP
IN AND SEE OLD BENNINGTON.

HE'D NEVER FORGIVE ME IF I'D
DRIVEN BY WITHOUT SAYING HELLO.

I CAN'T AFFORD TO OFFEND
A MAN AS RICH AS THAT.

NOW, J.R., YOU PROMISED
NO BUSINESS THIS WEEKEND.

WELL, NOW THAT WE'RE HERE
I'M GONNA KEEP THAT PROMISE.

YOU WANTED SOME ATTENTION?

I'M GONNA GIVE YOU AS MUCH
ATTENTION AS YOU CAN HANDLE.

THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT
I WANTED TO HEAR.

MR. EWING.

HOW YOU DOING?

OH, I DON'T NEED
TO SIGN THAT, DO I?

THERE YOU ARE.

THANK YOU.

COME ON, DARLING.

WE'RE GONNA HAVE SOME FUN.

Woman: THE MAN WITH YOUR
COFFEE AND DOUGHNUTS IS HERE.

I DIDN'T ORDER ANY
COFFEE AND DOUGHNUTS.

THAT'S WHAT I TOLD HIM.

UH, CONNIE, LOOK,
I'M REAL BUSY NOW,

SO YOU TAKE CARE OF IT, OK?

Connie, outside office: LOOK,
I'M SORRY, YOU CAN'T...

Man: IT'S OK, IT'S OK.

Connie: PLEASE, PLEASE.

NOW LOOK, I...

GEE, AND I BROUGHT YOU YOUR
FAVORITE KIND OF DOUGHNUT, TOO.

GARY.

HA HA HA!

GARY EWING, HOW
THE HELL ARE YOU?

FINE. YOU?

WELL, FINE. OH,
MAN, I MISSED YOU.

YEAH, MISSED YOU, TOO.

YOU LOOK GREAT.

WAIT A MINUTE.

CONNIE, GET ME THE RANCH.

Gary: BOBBY, DON'T.

I JUST WANTED TO SEE
YOU BEFORE I LEFT DALLAS.

YOU CAN'T LEAVE DALLAS
WITHOUT TALKING TO MAMA,

AND IT'D BE BETTER
IF YOU SAW HER.

GOOD AFTERNOON, MISS ELLIE.

HELLO, SUE ELLEN.

I'VE BEEN LOOKING
ALL OVER FOR YOU.

I'VE BEEN SHOPPING.

WELL, WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL ME?

SAVE ME A LOT OF RUNNING AROUND.

SORRY, JOCK.

RAOUL, WOULD YOU TAKE
THESE UPSTAIRS FOR ME, PLEASE?

I WANT TO TALK TO TERESA.

I WANT TO HAVE SOMETHING
VERY SPECIAL FOR...

HELLO.

Bobby: MAMA, ARE YOU ALONE?

BOBBY? YES, WHY?

WELL, I HAVE SOMEBODY HERE
WHO WANTS TO TALK TO YOU.

HELLO, MAMA.

GARY?

OH, GARY.

I'M IN DALLAS. I
WANT TO SEE YOU.

YOU'RE HERE?

OH, YES. WHEN?

BOBBY'LL BRING YOU IN
THE MORNING. AND MAMA?

DON'T TELL LUCY, OK?

ALL RIGHT. ANYTHING YOU SAY.

OH, LORD, IT'S GOOD
TO HEAR YOUR VOICE.

YOURS TOO, MAMA. BYE.

BYE. SEE YOU TOMORROW.

SAY, SAY, WAIT A MINUTE.

I JUST DON'T BELIEVE
MY GOOD LUCK.

WHAT, J.R.?

THAT'S EUGENE
BULLOCK OVER THERE.

HE'S JUST RICH AS CROESUS.

HAS HIS OWN FLEET OF TANKERS.

J.R., YOU PROMISED NO BUSINESS.

I'VE JUST GOT TO SAY HELLO.

WELL, MR. EUGENE, WHAT
ON EARTH BRINGS YOU HERE?

YOU'RE A SIGHT FOR SORE EYES.

HELLO, EWING.

I'D LIKE TO INTRODUCE YOU TO
MY SECRETARY, MY RIGHT HAND.

THIS IS KRISTIN SHEPARD,

EUGENE BULLOCK, AND HIS...
UM, HIS ASSISTANT, RIGHT?

UH, NOW, DON'T TELL
ME. DON'T TELL ME.

SALLY, RIGHT?

LITTLE MORE THAN
ASSOCIATE, MR. EWING.

SALLY'S MY WIFE NOW.

IS THAT A FACT?

WELL, I JUST THINK
THAT'S WONDERFUL.

WHAT'S SO WONDERFUL ABOUT IT?

IT WAS INEVITABLE,
WASN'T IT, SALLY?

OH, IT ISN'T EASY TO REFUSE
SALLY SOMETHING SHE WANTS.

SHE'S A STRONG-MINDED WOMAN.

NOW, MR. EUGENE.

SIT DOWN, EWING. SIT DOWN.

THANK YOU. THANK YOU.

YOUNG LADY, JOIN
US, IF YOU HAVE TO.

SAY, BRING DRINKS
OVER HERE, WOULD YOU?

SAY, YOU KNOW, THIS
IS A COINCIDENCE.

I WAS TRYING TO REACH YOUR
OFFICE JUST THE OTHER DAY.

I KNOW. I KNOW, BUT YOU'VE
GOT TO REACH SALLY NOW.

SHE'S TAKING CARE OF EVERYTHING,

MY BUSINESS.

ALL YOUR OTHER NEEDS, I ASSUME.

MY OTHER NEEDS ARE FEW
AND FAR BETWEEN, HMM?

SALLY, TELL EWING
WHY YOU MARRIED ME.

MONEY.

Eugene: AIN'T SHE WONDERFUL?

PERFECT.

HELL, I'D RATHER LEAVE IT TO
HER THAN THOSE WEASELS I BRED.

YOU TAKE A PAGE FROM
SALLY'S BOOK, SWEETHEART.

TELL THE OUTRAGEOUS TRUTH.

DON'T STRAIN THIS
AGING EWING'S CREDIBILITY

BY ASKING HIM TO BELIEVE
THAT YOU REALLY CARE FOR HIM.

MR. BULLOCK, I DON'T
THINK YOU UNDERSTAND.

J.R. IS MY BROTHER-IN-LAW.

SUE ELLEN, MY OLDER
SISTER, IS HIS WIFE.

I'M HERE AS A SECRETARY.

WHEN I GIVE ADVICE,
SMART PEOPLE TAKE IT.

WELL, I'LL DRINK TO THAT.

WHO IS IT?

Gary: JACK THE RIPPER.

IT'S, UH, MY BIRTHDAY.

I THOUGHT MAYBE WE
OUGHT TO CELEBRATE.

NOW, WHEN THAT OIL COMES IN,
I'M GONNA HAVE TO MOVE IT FAST.

I MEAN REAL FAST.

NOW, I FIGURE WE'LL BE PUMPING,

OH, 3,000 BARRELS
PER WELL PER DAY.

NOW, THAT'S A LOT OF OIL.

MMM. WHAT DO YOU THINK, SALLY?

SOUNDS GOOD, IN THEORY.

NOW, MR. EUGENE, I BROUGHT
THIS DEAL TO YOU FIRST,

BECAUSE I ALWAYS LIKE DOING
BUSINESS WITH YOU. YOU KNOW THAT.

I ALWAYS KEEP MY WORD,

WHICH IS MORE THAN YOU CAN SAY

FOR MOST BUSINESSMEN THESE DAYS.

WHAT DO YOU SAY, SAL?

SHOULD WE DO
BUSINESS WITH THE BOY?

MAYBE.

I NEED TO HEAR MORE ABOUT IT.

WELL, I'LL GIVE YOU ALL THE
STATISTICS YOU WANT, GIRL.

AS A MATTER OF
FACT, I CAN GIVE YOU

ALL THE FACTS AND FIGURES
RIGHT NOW, IF YOU LIKE.

HERE.

WELL, THAT DOES IT FOR ME.

YOU TWO GO AND NEGOTIATE.

TIME FOR BED.

AND I SAID, "NEGOTIATE."

YES, SIR. GOOD EVENING, SIR.

GOOD EVENING.

WELL, I SAY WE HASH THIS OUT
OVER A COUPLE OF MORE BRANDIES.

WHAT DO YOU SAY?

J.R...

GEE, DARLIN', WHY
DON'T YOU RUN ALONG?

I THINK YOU'RE JUST
GONNA BE BORED TO DEATH

WITH ALL THIS BUSINESS TALK.

BUT, J.R... AND YOU
NEED YOUR SLEEP.

GONNA HAVE A BIG DAY TOMORROW.

WELL, SHALL WE GET TO WORK, HUH?

WAITER, A COUPLE OF STINGERS.

IRISH COFFEE, PLEASE.

RUDY! WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?

DON'T ASK STUPID QUESTIONS.

HOW'D YOU FIND ME?

WELL, THAT WAS EASY.

I ASKED YOUR SISTER.

AND SHE TOLD YOU?

SHE WAS JUST AIDING
THE COURSE OF TRUE LOVE.

J.R. EWING... FORGET THAT
HE'S THE PIG THAT HE IS,

HE'S YOUR SISTER'S HUSBAND.

SHE DOESN'T WANT HIM.

DO YOU?

YOU BETTER BELIEVE IT.

I DON'T. WHAT ABOUT US?

ANCIENT HISTORY.

WHAT IS IT? HIS MONEY?

IT'S NOT LIKE I'M A
PAUPER, YOU KNOW.

THE YOUNGEST JUNIOR ASSOCIATE AT ONE OF
THE OLDEST AND BEST BANKING FIRMS IN TEXAS,

AND I'M MOVING
STRAIGHT UP... FAST.

MY NAME'LL BE IN THE
FIRM NAME IN 10 YEARS.

WHAT'S IT WORTH?

200,000 A YEAR, MAYBE MORE.

WE COULD LIVE
PRETTY WELL ON THAT.

HONEY, J.R. TIPS 200,000 A YEAR.

YOUR FEES COME OUT OF THAT?

I THOUGHT SO.

YOU MIND, DON'T YOU?

NO.

AND YOU MISS ME. YOU
MISS US, REMEMBER?

I DON'T REMEMBER ANYTHING.

GO AWAY. I DON'T
WANT TO SEE YOU.

OF COURSE YOU REMEMBER.
TONIGHT YOU'LL REMEMBER.

SHUT UP!

WHEN HE FALLS ASLEEP ON YOU...

I'M AT THE ST. FRANCIS MOTEL.

WHAT'S THE MATTER, RUDY?

WOULDN'T THEY LET YOU IN HERE?

APPARENTLY YOU HAVE
TO MAKE A RESERVATION

SOMETIME IN ADVANCE.

NOT IF YOU'RE IMPORTANT, RUDY.

NOT THEN.

WELL, MR. J.R. EWING,

THE MOST INTERESTING THINGS
HAPPEN WHEN YOU GO AWAY.

WAIT UNTIL YOU FIND OUT THAT
BROTHER GARY'S BACK IN TOWN.

DON'T WORRY. IT'S
GONNA BE ALL RIGHT.

MA.

GARY.

LET ME LOOK AT YOU.

YOU LOOK WONDERFUL.

SO DO YOU.

THANK YOU, VALENE.

GARY, I'M NOT SURE WHAT HAPPENED

AT THE RANCH LAST YEAR,

WHY YOU LEFT THE
WAY YOU DID, BUT I KNOW

PART OF IT'S BECAUSE I INSISTED

YOU MOVE BACK WITH US.

THERE WAS A LOT MORE
TO IT THAN THAT, MAMA.

MAYBE, BUT I KNOW NOW
THAT THAT WON'T WORK.

WE CAN'T ALL LIVE
UNDER THE SAME ROOF,

BUT I NEED YOU, GARY.

I NEED TO SEE YOU.

THAT'S WHY I'M HERE, MAMA.

WELL, HOW LONG HAVE YOU
TWO BEEN SEEING EACH OTHER?

OVER A YEAR. SINCE
THAT TIME AT THE RANCH.

AND WHAT ARE YOUR PLANS?

WHAT KIND OF PLANS?

WELL, IF YOU'VE BEEN SEEING
EACH OTHER FOR OVER A YEAR,

YOU MUST HAVE SOMETHING IN MIND.

NO, MA'AM.

WELL, VAL AND I HAVE BEEN TALKING
ABOUT MAYBE GETTING REMARRIED,

MOVING OUT TO
CALIFORNIA, STARTING OVER.

CALIFORNIA?

MAMA, YOU KNOW WHATEVER HAPPENS,

I CAN'T STAY HERE.

BUT, UM, NOTHING'S SETTLED YET.

I'M JUST NOT SURE.

AND, ANYWAY, I
NEVER WAS VERY GOOD

AT HANDLING RESPONSIBILITY.

YOU KNOW THAT, MAMA.

AND YOU'VE ALWAYS
UNDERESTIMATED YOURSELF.

I KNOW THAT, TOO.

AND THERE'S LUCY TO THINK ABOUT.

YEAH, IF VAL AND I DO
GET BACK TOGETHER AGAIN

AND BRING LUCY WITH
US, AND WE CAN'T MAKE IT,

IT WOULD BE AWFUL FOR HER,

AND I'M TIRED OF HURTING MY
DAUGHTER, MAMA, VAL, AND YOU.

I... I DON'T WANT TO MAKE ANY
MORE PROMISES I CAN'T KEEP.

NO ONE WANTS YOU
TO BE PERFECT, GARY,

WHICH IS WHAT YOU
ALWAYS HAD TO BE.

WE JUST WANT YOU TO
BE PART OF OUR LIVES.

YOU NEVER KNOW WHAT
YOU CAN DO UNTIL YOU TRY.

YOU NEVER HAVE TRIED.

NOT REALLY.

VALENE EWING...
WILL YOU MARRY ME?

BOBBY?

WILL YOU COME IN HERE, PLEASE?

THEY'RE GETTING REMARRIED.

CONGRATULATIONS, BOTH OF YOU.

DID MR. J.R. EWING
LEAVE A MESSAGE FOR ME?

MR. EWING?

UM, NO, MA'AM, BUT I BELIEVE
HE'S IN THE LOUNGE AT THE MOMENT.

THE LOUNGE. THANK YOU.

MAY I HELP YOU?

WOW.

WELL, THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT I
WAS TALKIN' ABOUT RIGHT HERE.

GOOD MORNING,
J.R., MRS. BULLOCK.

GOOD MORNING, KRISTIN.

I THOUGHT WE WERE PLAYING
TENNIS THIS MORNING, J.R.

OH, WE ARE. WE ARE.

JUST AS SOON AS I GET A FEW
THINGS STRAIGHTENED OUT

WITH SALLY.

MEANWHILE, I'M SURE
YOU CAN FIND SOMETHING

TO KEEP YOURSELF AMUSED.

I'M SURE I CAN, IF I
PUT MY MIND TO IT.

THAT'S A VERY
DEMANDING SECRETARY, J.R.

BUT USEFUL. VERY
USEFUL. HA HA HA.

WOULD YOU GET MY CAR, PLEASE?

SURE.

HOW DO I GET TO THE
ST. FRANCIS MOTEL?

WELL, IT'S RIGHT
DOWN THE ROAD, MA'AM.

YOU TURN LEFT AT THE
FIRST TRAFFIC LIGHT,

AHEAD 4 BLOCKS.

THANK YOU.

OK, HAROLD, I OWE YOU
ONE, BUT THANKS A LOT,

AND I'LL SEE YOU
THERE. ALL RIGHT.

JUDGE HENSON SAYS YOU
TAKE CARE OF THE BLOOD TEST,

AND HE'LL TAKE
CARE OF THE LICENSE.

YOU CAN BE MARRIED
THIS AFTERNOON.

WELL, IF I'D BEEN SEPARATED
FROM MY HUSBAND FOR 17 YEARS,

I'D WANT A NEW CEREMONY, TOO.

IT'S OK WITH ME.

I WISH I COULD GIVE YOU
A WEDDING OF SOME KIND.

WELL, MAYBE WHEN WE LET
EVERYBODY IN ON IT, YOU CAN.

I MEAN, AS FAR AS I'M CONCERNED,

WE CAN GET MARRIED
EVERY YEAR OVER AND OVER.

YOU'RE NOT GONNA GET MARRIED
TODAY IF YOU DON'T TAKE THAT BLOOD TEST.

GO!

WE'LL SEE YOU ALL LATER, OK?

THANK YOU, BOBBY. BYE BYE!

WELL, MAMA, I'LL CALL YOU
A CAB AND GET YOU HOME.

NO, BOBBY.

I'VE GOT PRESENTS TO BUY.

ALL RIGHT. I'LL TELL YOU WHAT.

I'LL TAKE YOU TO LUNCH, AND THEN
I'LL TAKE YOU SHOPPING MYSELF.

JUST HAVE A COUPLE OF TRUST
DEEDS TO SIGN. THAT'S ALL.

WHAT TRUST DEEDS?

JUST SOME HOUSES THAT
STEVE WILEY AND I BOUGHT

OUT IN CALIFORNIA.

WHY?

WELL, TO RESELL
THEM. RAISE CAPITAL.

THAT REAL ESTATE BOOM
IN CALIFORNIA IS FINANCING

MOST OF OUR CONSTRUCTION HERE.

ARE THEY NICE HOUSES?

OF COURSE THEY'RE NICE HOUSES.

I'LL HELP YOU, MAMA.

MISS ELLIE, WHERE YOU BEEN?

I'M SORRY, JOCK. I'M IN A HURRY.

ALL THIS COMIN' AND
GOING THE PAST 2 DAYS

IS DRIVIN' ME NUTS. NOW,
I GOT A RIGHT TO KNOW...

I DON'T WANT TO HEAR ABOUT
YOUR RIGHTS JUST NOW, JOCK.

WHAT THE HELL'S GOIN' ON?

WHEN SHE GONNA GET OVER THAT?

DADDY, I'LL BUY YOU A DRINK,

AND I'VE GOT SOMETHING
TO TALK TO YOU ABOUT.

NOW, MAMA AND I ARE
GOING RIGHT BACK INTO TOWN

TO SEE GARY AND VALENE.

THEY'RE BEING MARRIED
AGAIN THIS AFTERNOON, DADDY.

MARRIED?

I DON'T BLAME HER FOR
NOT WANTING ME TO KNOW.

SHE HOLDS ME RESPONSIBLE
FOR RUNNING GARY OFF,

BUT I LOVED YOUR
BROTHER. YOU KNOW THAT.

NEARLY BROKE MY
HEART WHEN I FOUND OUT

THAT HE DIDN'T HAVE ANY GUTS.

I TRIED TO TEACH HIM TO
STAND UP AND FIGHT AND...

DADDY, THAT'S EXACTLY
WHAT HE'S TRYING TO DO NOW,

AND HE'S GONNA MAKE A GO OF IT.

I THINK YOU SHOULD BE THERE.

NO, BOBBY.

HE'S HAD ENOUGH CHANCES.

BE THE SAME OL' STORY.

HE'D RUN AWAY.

LOOK, IF YOU CHANGE YOUR MIND,
THIS IS WHERE WE'RE GONNA BE.

I'D LIKE TO SEE YOU THERE.

Bobby: MAMA.

READY?

I, UH, I TOLD DADDY.

OH, BOBBY, YOU SHOULDN'T HAVE.

I PROMISED.

GARY IS HIS SON, TOO.

HE HAS A RIGHT TO KNOW
HE'S GETTING MARRIED.

WHAT DID HE SAY?

HE SAID HE WOULDN'T COME.

BUT I LEFT VALENE'S ADDRESS
IN CASE HE CHANGED HIS MIND.

HE ALWAYS WAS HARD ON GARY.

TOO HARD.

YOU KNOW, YOU CONVINCED ME.

NOW ALL I HAVE TO DO
IS CONVINCE MR. EUGENE.

WHAT DO YOU THINK
THAT TAKES, HONEY?

YOU KNOW, HE NEVER DID QUITE
FORGIVE YOU FOR OUTBIDDING HIM

ON THAT REMINGTON.

HE WANTED THAT STATUE SO MUCH.

WELL, NOW, YOU'RE ONE
SMART LADY, YOU KNOW THAT?

I TELL YOU WHAT I'LL
DO... I'LL CALL THE RANCH,

HAVE A HIRED HAND
DRIVE THAT DOWN

AND MR. EUGENE WILL HAVE
HIS STATUE BY NIGHTFALL.

EWING RESIDENCE.

SUE ELLEN?

J.R.

HOW NICE OF YOU TO PHONE.

YOU BEEN DRINKING, HONEY?

YOU SOUND KIND OF PECULIAR.

NO, I FEEL PERFECTLY FINE.

I'VE, UH, BEEN ENJOYING
MYSELF ENORMOUSLY,

ANTICIPATING HOW HAPPY
YOU'RE GOING TO FEEL

WHEN YOU HEAR THE GOOD NEWS.

HONEY, JUST TELL ME
WHAT YOU WANT TO TELL ME.

WHAT IS IT?

WELL, IT SEEMS THAT YOUR
BROTHER GARY IS BACK IN DALLAS,

AND HE AND VALENE ARE GOING
TO BE MARRIED THIS AFTERNOON.

I HAVEN'T SEEN YOUR
MAMA THIS HAPPY IN MONTHS.

GETTING MARRIED?

WELL, WHERE'S THE WEDDING? WHEN?

OH, IT'S GONNA BE A
QUIET LITTLE AFFAIR.

I THINK, UH, AT VALENE'S PLACE.

IT'S A SHAME YOU'RE
TOO FAR AWAY TO ATTEND.

OH, I HOPE THIS DIDN'T RUIN YOUR
WELL-PLANNED LITTLE HOLIDAY, DARLING.

DAMN.

AH, SALLY, I HOPE
YOU'LL FORGIVE ME.

I GOTTA GET RIGHT
BACK TO DALLAS.

WHY? I WAS JUST STARTING
TO ENJOY HAVING YOU HERE.

BECAUSE ONE MARRIED BROTHER
IN THE FAMILY'S MORE THAN ENOUGH.

HEY, YOU GOT MY BILL?

YES, SIR.

ALL RIGHT.

NOW I WANT YOU TO TELL MS.
SHEPARD WHEN SHE GETS BACK

THAT I WANT MY CAR AND I
WANT HER IN DALLAS TONIGHT.

YES, SIR.

ALL RIGHT.

UH, SIR?

I'VE JUST HAD A CALL FROM
THE LIMOUSINE COMPANY, SIR.

THE CAR THEY EXPECTED
BACK HASN'T RETURNED YET.

WELL, YOU GET THEM ON THE PHONE,

YOU TELL THEM I NEED A
CAR. I NEED ONE RIGHT NOW.

YES, SIR. THEY
UNDERSTAND THAT, SIR,

AND THEY'LL SEND ONE
AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.

WE'VE TRIED ALL THE
COMPANIES, MR. EWING.

THERE ARE NO CARS
AVAILABLE JUST NOW.

BOY, THAT'S WONDERFUL,
JUST WONDERFUL.

WHERE DID THAT GIRL GO ANYWAY?

BOY, I GET MY HANDS ON HER...

Valet: MS. SHEPARD DID
ASK DIRECTIONS, SIR.

YEAH? WHERE TO?

TO THE ST. FRANCIS MOTEL.

ST. FRANCIS MOTEL?

WELL, WHY DIDN'T
YOU SAY SO BEFORE?

DID YOU DRIVE TO WORK TODAY?

YES, SIR.

WELL, YOU GOT YOURSELF A JOB.

I'M GONNA BORROW THIS YOUNG MAN.

I'LL SEND HIM BACK WHEN
I'M FINISHED WITH HIM.

I KNOW IT'S SILLY, BUT I'VE
BEEN SAVING IT ALL THIS TIME.

THAT'S NOT THE DRESS YOU WORE

WHEN YOU AND GARY GOT
MARRIED THE FIRST TIME, IS IT?

MM-HMM. I WAS ONLY 15.

OOH, IT'S KIND OF OUT OF DATE.

I THINK IT'S PERFECT.

COME ON. I WANT TO
GIVE YOU YOUR PRESENT.

BOBBY, HAVE YOU GOT THE TICKETS?

NO. PAMELA'S BRINGING
THEM WITH THE JUDGE.

UH, WHAT TICKETS?

WELL, YOU WANTED TO SETTLE
IN CALIFORNIA, DIDN'T YOU?

YEAH, BUT YOU DON'T HAVE
TO PAY FOR THE PLANE FARE.

DON'T YOU TELL ME
WHAT I HAVE TO DO.

ANYWAY, THE TICKETS AREN'T
YOUR... AREN'T YOUR PRESENT.

BOBBY'S GONNA FLY TO CALIFORNIA
AND SHOW YOU THE HOUSES.

UH, I DON'T... I DON'T GET IT.

WHICHEVER HOUSE
YOU LIKE BEST IS YOURS.

NO, MAMA.

AND IF YOU DON'T LIKE ANY
OF THEM, FIND ANOTHER.

MISS ELLIE, WE... WE COULDN'T.

MAMA, WE WANT TO BE ON OUR OWN.

DID YOU WANT TO BE ON YOUR
OWN WHEN YOU LEFT SOUTHFORK?

OR DID YOUR DADDY
AND J.R. DRIVE YOU OFF?

YOU TRIED TO STAND ON YOUR
OWN FEET WHEN YOU HAD LUCY,

AND YOUR FAMILY
KICKED YOUR HEELS

RIGHT OUT FROM UNDER YOU.

BUT MISS ELLIE, WE
OWE YOU SO MUCH.

YOU RAISED LUCY.

YES, I RAISED HER.

I RAISED HER BECAUSE THE
EWINGS MADE IT IMPOSSIBLE

FOR YOU TO RAISE HER,
BUT I SHOULDN'T HAVE.

I SHOULD'VE FOUGHT THEM.

I DIDN'T.

I DID NOTHING.

DO YOU THINK MY GIVING
YOU A HOUSE IS FAIR PAYMENT?

I DON'T.

IF YOU WANT TO REFUSE IT, REFUSE
IT BECAUSE THE GIFT IS SMALL.

OTHERWISE, TAKE IT.

PLEASE TAKE IT.

I, UH... BELIEVE I HAVE A SON
GETTING MARRIED HERE TODAY.

I'D LIKE TO ATTEND THE CEREMONY,

IF I'M WELCOME.

I'M GLAD YOU COULD COME, DAD.

GOOD LUCK, SON.

YOU KNOW I STILL
LOVE YOU, DON'T YOU?

I WISH YOU DIDN'T.

WHY?

DID YOU ENJOY YOURSELF
THIS AFTERNOON?

DOESN'T MATTER.

YOU KNOW YOU DON'T BELIEVE IT.

THERE YOU GO, GEORGE.

WELL, HI.

TOOK ME A LITTLE
WHILE TO FIND YOU,

BUT YOU ASK THE RIGHT QUESTIONS,

YOU GET THE RIGHT ANSWERS.

DON'T, RUDY!

GET OUT OF HERE.

KRISTIN, GET DRESSED, PLEASE.

HONEY... DON'T.

I DON'T HAVE A LOT
OF TIME, HONEY.

RUDY, I'M GONNA GO WITH HIM.

PLEASE DON'T MAKE IT UGLY.

IT'S AN EMBARRASSING
LITTLE SCENE, ISN'T IT?

WELL, TO TELL YOU THE
TRUTH, I KINDA ENJOY IT MYSELF.

NO SURPRISE.

OH, DON'T BE TOO SANCTIMONIOUS,
RUDOLPH MILLINGTON.

THE LADY AND I, WE'RE TOGETHER.

THE LADY AND I ARE IN LOVE.

WELL, I WOULDN'T
BE AT ALL SURPRISED,

BUT, UH, SHE SEEMS TO BE
DRESSING TO GO WITH ME.

J.R., WHY'D YOU COME?

WHAT TORE YOU AWAY
FROM YOUR BUSINESS?

WELL, I JUST FOUND OUT
THAT MY BROTHER GARY

IS GETTING REMARRIED
TO HIS FORMER WIFE,

AND I WANT TO BE THERE
FOR THAT WEDDING.

OH, HELLO.

UH, BARTON LEWIS, PLEASE.

THIS IS J.R. EWING.

UH-HUH. YEAH, HE'S GETTING
MARRIED TODAY, DARLING,

AND YOU GOT MY CAR.

HELLO, BARTON?

WELL, HOW ARE YOU DOING?

GOOD, GOOD.

SAY, DO YOU HAVE A YOUNG MAN,

UH, NAMED RUDOLPH
MILLINGTON WORKING FOR YOU?

SMART AS ALL THAT, IS HE?

WELL, I HATE TO BE
THE ONE TO TELL YOU,

BUT HE'S GOT NO
CHARACTER AT ALL.

NO, NO, NO MORAL FIBER.

YOU KNOW, YOUR CLIENTS JUST
MIGHT BE FLEEING LIKE LEMMINGS.

YEAH, WELL, I CAN'T TALK
ABOUT IT OVER THE PHONE,

BUT THE EWING OIL COMPANY MAY
BE FLEEING LIKE LEMMINGS, TOO.

WELL, THAT'S A GOOD IDEA.

GOOD.

ALL RIGHT, BART, BYE-BYE.

WELL, THERE YOU ARE, DARLING.

I'M AFRAID YOU'RE OUT
OF A JOB, MR. MILLINGTON.

J.R., IT WAS JUST
AS MUCH ME AS HIM.

OH, NO, NOT YOU, HONEY.

YOU'RE AN INNOCENT.

THIS MAN TOOK
ADVANTAGE OF YOUR TRUST

AND CORRUPTED YOU.
NOW GIVE ME THOSE KEYS.

OH, RUDY, UM, I HAVE A FEELING
MOST OF THE BETTER BANKS IN TEXAS

ARE GONNA BE CLOSED
TO YOU, BUT I UNDERSTAND

THERE'S A LOT OF ACTION
GOING ON FOR SOMEBODY

IN YOUR PROFESSION
UP IN ATLANTA.

GOOD LUCK, BUD.

KRISTIN... IS THAT
WHAT YOU WANT?

YES.

WELL, J.R.

LOOK, EVERYBODY, WHO CAME
ALL THE WAY BACK FROM AUSTIN

JUST TO BE WITH US.

CAN I COME IN?

WELL, OF COURSE.

I JUST WISH YOU WOULD'VE
PHONED AHEAD OF TIME.

WE WOULD'VE HELD UP
THE CEREMONY FOR YOU.

AW, THEY'RE MARRIED
ALREADY, ARE THEY?

YEAH, J.R. THEY
ARE, UH, ALL LEGAL,

RIGHT, AND TIGHT.

J.R., WHY DON'T YOU, UH,
CONGRATULATE YOUR BROTHER?

OH, I THINK I'LL KISS
THE BRIDE FIRST.

VALENE.

CONGRATULATIONS.

THANK YOU, J.R.

GARY, CONGRATULATIONS, BUD.

I SURE DO WISH I'D
BEEN HERE IN TIME.

THANK YOU, J.R.

IT'S SO BEAUTIFUL.

I CAN'T BELIEVE IT.

WHEN'D YOU SAY WE CAN MOVE IN?

WELL, I FOUND SOMEBODY TO
MAKE THE REPAIRS WE TALKED ABOUT.

I'D SAY A WEEK OR 2.

IT'LL TAKE US THAT LONG TO GET
OURSELVES TOGETHER ANYHOW.

YEAH, IT'S NO SOUTHFORK.

I KNOW, BUT IT'S... IT'S
A HOME, AND IT'S OURS.

TELL ME AGAIN THE
NAME OF THIS PLACE.

KNOTTS LANDING.

SOUNDS NICE.

EVERYONE WAS SO
CHEERFUL THIS MORNING.

IT WAS A REAL PLEASURE.

SUE ELLEN...

WHY DIDN'T YOU CALL ME AND
LET ME KNOW WHAT WAS GOING ON?

WELL, MAYBE IT'S BECAUSE
I DON'T CARE ANYMORE

ABOUT WHO RULES THE
ROOST AT SOUTHFORK.

OR MAYBE IT'S 'CAUSE I ENJOY
SEEING YOU NOT GET WHAT YOU WANT.

WELL, IF I LOSE, YOU
LOSE TOO, HONEY.

JUST REMEMBER THAT.

WELL, MAYBE I DON'T CARE
ABOUT THAT ANYMORE EITHER.

JOCK WENT TO THE WEDDING.

I WAS REAL SURPRISED.

MISS ELLIE GAVE GARY AND VALENE A
BEAUTIFUL NEW HOUSE IN CALIFORNIA.

I SAW PICTURES
OF IT THIS MORNING.

IT'S REALLY BEAUTIFUL.

THAT'S ALL THEY TALKED ABOUT.

CALIFORNIA?

THEY ARE NOT GONNA
LIVE AT SOUTHFORK?

WELL, THEY WANT TO
LIVE ALONE IN CALIFORNIA,

WE JUST LEAVE 'EM
ALONE IN CALIFORNIA.

THAT'S THE BEST
NEWS I'VE HAD ALL DAY!

I TELL YOU WHAT, GET A
NICE SILVER PATTERN FOR 'EM

AND SEND THEM A
PLACE SETTING, HUH?

OR SEND 'EM 4...
HELL, SEND 'EM 8!

CALIFORNIA!
