Dallas (1978–1991): Season 3, Episode 15 - Love and Marriage - full transcript

IF BOBBY COULD BE PERSUADED
TO COME BACK TO WORK,

DADDY JUST MIGHT LET LOOSE
OF THE REINS, WOULDN'T HE?

BUT BOBBY DOESN'T TRUST
YOU ANY MORE THAN YOUR DADDY.

YEAH, BUT BOBBY'S A LOT
EASIER TO HANDLE THAN DADDY,

ESPECIALLY IF HE
HAD OTHER PROBLEMS.

WHY IN THE WORLD ARE THEY
SENDING YOU TO HOUSTON?

SO THAT YOU CAN HAVE MY JOB.

I NEVER ASKED FOR IT.

YOU'VE GOT A JOB
THAT'S GUARANTEED

TO BREAK UP ANY MARRIAGE.

I WANT YOU TO STOP SPENDING
ALL YOUR TIME AT THE STORE,



AND MORE OF IT HERE, AS MY WIFE!

WELL THEN, I GUESS THERE'S
ONLY ONE ANSWER LEFT. A DIVORCE!

CAPTIONING MADE
POSSIBLE BY WARNER BROS.

[BABY CRYING]

HI.

HI.

I HOPE HIS CRYING DIDN'T
WAKE YOU AND PAM UP.

I THINK HE'S ON THE
VERGE OF TEETHING.

AND IT MAKES HIM
A LITTLE CRANKY.

NO, NO.

I LIKE THE SOUND OF
A BABY IN THE HOUSE.

YOU TWO LOOK REAL NICE TOGETHER.

THANK YOU.

I DON'T KNOW WHY I ACTED SO
STRANGELY TOWARD HIM BEFORE.



HEY, IT DOESN'T MATTER
WHAT WENT ON BEFORE.

[JOHN COOS]

I'M JUST REALLY HAPPY FOR YOU...

THAT YOU TWO ARE TOGETHER NOW.

THANK YOU.

LOOK, YOU HAVE A
REAL GOOD NIGHT.

GOOD NIGHT, BOBBY.

[JOHN COOING]

PAM?

OH, YOU STARTLED ME.

IT'S 3:00 IN THE MORNING.

YOU'RE RIGHT.

WELL, ARE YOU DOING
ANYTHING IN PARTICULAR

OR JUST HANGING OUT IN THE DEN?

WELL, I'M TRYING TO
GET SOME WORK DONE.

AT THIS TIME OF NIGHT?

WELL, ACTUALLY,
BABY JOHN WOKE ME UP.

AND WHEN I LOOKED IN THE NURSERY,
SUE ELLEN WAS ALREADY THERE.

ANYWAY, I'M NOT VERY TIRED, SO I
THOUGHT I'D CATCH UP ON MY WORK.

9 TO 5 AT THE STORE DOESN'T GIVE YOU
ENOUGH TIME TO KEEP UP WITH YOUR WORK?

WELL, I'VE REALLY BEEN BUSY.

WE GOT THE NEW SPRING
LINE, AND I'M JUST SWAMPED.

YEAH. I'VE NOTICED.

WHAT DO YOU MEAN BY THAT, BOBBY?

THAT YOU'VE BEEN SPENDING
MORE AND MORE TIME AT WORK.

I JUST TOLD YOU THAT
I'VE BEEN VERY BUSY.

DOESN'T IT SEEM STRANGE TO YOU
THAT THIS BUSY TIME AT THE STORE

COMES RIGHT AFTER SUE ELLEN
STARTED TAKING CARE OF LITTLE JOHN?

NO, IT DOESN'T.

IT JUST HAPPENED.

I DON'T THINK SO.

I THINK THAT YOU'RE
TRYING YOUR BEST

TO STAY AWAY FROM THIS HOUSE

SO THAT YOU DON'T HAVE
TO FACE ANY OF THE THINGS

THAT ARE REALLY BOTHERING YOU.

WELL, I THINK SUE ELLEN'S

WASTING HER MONEY
WITH DR. ELLBY.

ALL SHE HAD TO DO WAS ASK YOU.

PAMELA, I'M WORRIED ABOUT YOU.

YOU CAN'T HAVE LITTLE JOHN,

SO YOU THROW YOURSELF
INTO YOUR WORK.

THAT'S WRONG.

WELL, I'M SORRY YOU
FEEL THAT WAY, BOBBY,

BECAUSE YOU'RE WRONG.

HEY, BOBBY...

DO YOU THINK YOU
AND PAM CAN MANAGE

TO HAVE YOUR
ARGUMENTS IN THE DAYTIME?

THERE ARE PEOPLE TRYING TO SLEEP
IN THIS HOUSE BESIDES YOU, YOU KNOW.

OBVIOUSLY, YOU WEREN'T
HERE IN TIME TO BE ONE OF THEM.

DON'T TAKE IT OUT ON ME JUST BECAUSE
YOU AND PAMMY HAD AN ARGUMENT.

J.R., YOU KEEP STICKING
YOUR NOSE IN MY BUSINESS,

I'M GOING TO STUFF
IT IN YOUR EAR!

JORDAN LEE CALLED.

HE WANTED TO KNOW WHY
UNCLE JOCK'S BEEN CALLING HIM.

HE'LL FIND OUT SOON ENOUGH.

WHAT ELSE?

I PUT EVERYTHING
ON YOUR CALENDAR.

UH, UNCLE JOCK SET UP A MEETING

WITH THE REFINERY MAN IN... WHY?

HE DIDN'T SAY.

I CANNOT UNDERSTAND THIS!

I BRING IN THOSE ASIAN WELLS
WORTH MILLIONS OF DOLLARS.

EWING OIL IS IN A
BETTER POSITION

THAN IT EVER HAS BEEN
IN ITS WHOLE HISTORY,

AND... AND LOOK AT THIS MAN.

JUST LOOK... HE RUINS MY CHAIR,

RELEGATES ME TO BEING
AN ERRAND BOY AGAIN!

I TELL YOU I JUST
CAN'T STAND IT.

WELL, J.R., THE
PROBLEM SEEMS TO BE

THAT YOUR DADDY JUST
DOESN'T TRUST YOU ANYMORE.

HE'D NEVER DO THIS TO BOBBY.

OH, THAT'S FOR SURE.

BOBBY CAN DO NO
WRONG IN HIS EYES.

NOTHING WOULD MAKE DADDY HAPPIER

THAN HAVING BOBBY RUNNING
EWING OIL, YOU KNOW THAT?

WELL, WHAT GOOD
WOULD THAT DO YOU?

WHAT'D YOU SAY?

I SAID, WHAT GOOD
WOULD THAT DO YOU?

WELL, NOW, UH...

IF BOBBY COULD BE PERSUADED
TO COME BACK TO WORK...

WITH ME, SIDE BY SIDE...

DADDY JUST MIGHT LET LOOSE
OF THE REINS, WOULDN'T HE?

BUT BOBBY DOESN'T TRUST
YOU ANY MORE THAN YOUR DADDY.

YEAH, BUT BOBBY'S A LOT
EASIER TO HANDLE THAN DADDY...

ESPECIALLY IF HE
HAD OTHER PROBLEMS.

HEH. YEAH.

ALL DELIVERIES GO
AROUND THE BACK.

I'M NOT DELIVERING
ANYTHING, MA'AM.

I JUST WANTED TO KNOW
IF MRS. CULVER'S HERE.

Woman: MRS. CULVER...

THIS GENTLEMAN
WANTED TO SEE YOU.

HELLO.

YOU LOOK BEAUTIFUL.

HEH.

SO DO YOU.

I'M SORRY ABOUT SAM'S DEATH.

YEAH. I KNOW.

I WOULD'VE COME TO THE FUNERAL,

EXCEPT I THOUGHT I
MIGHT EMBARRASS YOU.

YOU KNOW SAM UNDERSTOOD.

I TOLD HIM ALL ABOUT US
BEFORE I LEFT LAST YEAR.

YOU'RE NOT LEAVING DALLAS AGAIN?

NO.

NO.

NO, IT'S JUST THAT, UH...

WELL, THERE ARE
TOO MANY MEMORIES,

AND BESIDES, IT WAS SAM'S HOUSE.

I JUST WANT TO
GET A SMALL PLACE.

UNTIL THEN, I'M, UH,
I'M STAYING AT A HOTEL.

Man: DONNA... YEAH?

WOULD YOU MIND IF I KEPT THIS?

UH, DAVE,

I WANT YOU TO MEET A
REALLY GOOD FRIEND OF MINE.

RAY KREBBS, DAVE
CULVER... SAM'S SON.

HI, RAY.

DAVE.

SORRY ABOUT YOUR DADDY.

THANKS.

LOOK, I DIDN'T
MEAN TO INTERRUPT.

YOU'RE NOT INTERRUPTING.

I WANTED YOU TO MEET RAY.

AND YES, YOU CAN
KEEP THE PAINTING,

AND ANYTHING ELSE
THAT WAS PERSONAL

BETWEEN YOU AND SAM.

I KNOW THAT'S WHAT
HE WOULD'VE WANTED.

SHE'S A VERY PERSUASIVE LADY.

YEAH, I KNOW.

WELL, GLAD TO HAVE MET YOU, RAY.

YOU, TOO, DAVE.

LOOK, I'M SORRY.

I GUESS I SHOULDN'T
HAVE COME HERE.

WHY?

HE HAD TO KNOW ABOUT
US SOONER OR LATER.

LOOK, I'M NOT REAL GOOD

STANDING AROUND OUT HERE
IN THE MIDDLE OF ALL THIS,

MAKING SMALL TALK.

IF I DON'T AT LEAST
TOUCH YOU PRETTY SOON,

I DON'T KNOW IF I CAN STAND IT.

COME ON, COWBOY.

LET'S GO.

YEAH, YEAH, YEAH.

SET THE... WELL, SET THE
PHOTO SESSION UP FOR 7:00,

AND I'LL BE THERE.

RIGHT. OK.

BYE.

HI.

HI, LIZ.

HOW ABOUT STOPPING RIGHT THERE

AND CATCHING SOME LUNCH?

MY TREAT.

OH, THANKS, BUT I CAN'T.

I'VE GOT A LOT OF
WORK TO CATCH UP ON.

OH, COME ON, IT'LL WAIT.

I REALLY CAN'T.

I'M SWAMPED.

HEY, NOW, I'M THE BOSS,

AND IF I CAN LEAVE
MY SWAMPED DESK,

SO CAN YOU.

PAM, LOOK...

YOU'RE TAKING ALL THIS
TOO MUCH TO HEART.

YOU GOT TO RELAX.

YOU'RE PUSHING YOURSELF.

YOU GOT TO EASE UP.

I AM NOT PUSHING
MYSELF TOO HARD.

I WAS HIRED TO DO A JOB,

AND I'M TRYING TO DO IT.

NOW, LIZ, LEAVE ME ALONE.

I WAS JUST TRYING TO HELP.

WELL, THANKS, BUT I
DON'T NEED ANY HELP.

I JUST NEED TO
CATCH UP ON MY WORK.

ALL RIGHT.

THANKS.

CHECK OUT THAT CONTRACT.

YES, SIR.

DAD... HUH?

I'M WORRIED ABOUT MAMA.

SHE TOLD ME SHE WAS FINE.

YEAH, BUT YOU KNOW HOW MAMA IS.

SHE DOESN'T LIKE ANYBODY
WORRYING ABOUT HER.

YOU SPEND SO MUCH
TIME HERE AT THE OFFICE,

SHE'S ALL ALONE
THERE AT SOUTHFORK.

I JUST KNOW THAT THINGS

HAVEN'T BEEN ALL THAT
GOOD BETWEEN YOU TWO.

NOW, THAT'S BETWEEN
YOUR MOTHER AND ME.

YES, SIR, I KNOW THAT.

AND IT HURTS ME, BECAUSE I...

WELL, I FEEL RESPONSIBLE.

DO YOU, J.R.?

YES, SIR.

I KNOW I'VE GIVEN
YOU REASON TO FEEL

THAT YOU HAVE TO OVERSEE
MY WORK HERE AT THE OFFICE.

BUT IT TAKES SO MUCH
TIME AWAY FROM YOU

SO YOU CAN'T BE WITH
MAMA, DO YOU UNDERSTAND?

WELL, I CAN'T SEE THAT
I'VE GOT ANY OTHER CHOICE.

WELL, I'VE BEEN GIVING
THAT SOME THOUGHT,

AND I THINK I'VE COME
UP WITH A SOLUTION.

I DON'T KNOW WHAT THAT'D BE,

OUTSIDE OF YOUR RETIREMENT.

OH, DADDY, DON'T TEASE ME.

NOW, YOU KNOW THAT
EWING OIL IS MY LIFE'S BLOOD.

NOW, THAT I BELIEVE, J.R.

ALL RIGHT.

JUST, UH, WHAT IS YOUR IDEA?

BOBBY.

BOBBY?

I DON'T FOLLOW.

WELL, IF WE COULD TALK BOBBY

INTO COMING BACK
IN THE BUSINESS,

AND US WORKING SIDE
BY SIDE TOGETHER,

ISN'T THAT WHAT
YOU ALWAYS WANTED?

WELL, IT SEEMS LIKE TO ME
WE TRIED THAT ONCE BEFORE

AND IT JUST DIDN'T
WORK OUT TOO WELL.

I KNOW, DAD, BUT, WELL,

I WAS DIFFERENT THEN.

I ADMIT I FOUGHT WITH BOBBY,

BUT I LEARNED MY LESSON,

AND I TRULY THINK WE
COULD WORK WELL TOGETHER.

I DON'T THINK I'D BE ABLE TO

PULL THE WOOL
OVER HIS EYES AGAIN.

WELL, HE'S RUNNING THE RANCH.

HE MIGHT NOT WANT TO COME BACK.

HE WOULD IF YOU ASKED HIM.

ESPECIALLY IF YOU POINTED OUT

YOU COULD SPEND
MORE TIME WITH MAMA.

I'LL THINK ABOUT THAT.

MAYBE... MAYBE I'LL
TALK TO HIM TONIGHT.

OR MAYBE WE BOTH SHOULD.

NO, IT'D BE BETTER
COMING FROM YOU, DADDY.

AND BESIDES, I HAVE
SOME UNFINISHED WORK

FROM LAST NIGHT.
I MIGHT BE LATE.

UH-HUH.

WELL, CAN'T WE DO IT TOMORROW?

I'VE ALREADY GOT A
7:00 PHOTO SESSION.

UH, OK, I'LL STOP UP AFTERWARDS.

SURE. BYE.

[KNOCKING ON DOOR]

COME IN.

HI.

WELL, WHAT DID YOU DO WRONG?

[SIGHS] EVERYTHING.

EVEN HAD A FIGHT
WITH THE LADY I LOVE.

SO, I THOUGHT I
WOULD DROP BY HERE

AND TAKE YOU AWAY FROM ALL THIS.

MAYBE DINNER, OUT
TO A MOVIE, ANYTHING.

BOBBY, I CAN'T.

I HAVE A PHOTO SESSION

AND THEN A MEETING AFTER THAT.

WELL, LET SOMEBODY ELSE DO IT.

WELL, THEY CAN'T.

I HAVE TO.

COME ON. I DON'T BELIEVE THAT.

LET'S GO. HOW ABOUT TOMORROW?

TONIGHT!

I WANT TO GO TO DINNER
TONIGHT. LET'S GO.

BOBBY, I CAN'T GO.

HOW DO YOU SUPPOSE THIS COMPANY

GOT ALONG WITHOUT YOU
BEFORE YOU CAME TO WORK?

[DOOR SLAMS]

EVENING, BOBBY.

DADDY.

MAKE YOU A DRINK?

YEAH, A LITTLE TOUCH OF BOURBON.

GLAD I CAUGHT YOU ALONE.

GOT SOMETHING I WANT
TO TALK TO YOU ABOUT.

SHOOT.

I THINK I'VE BEEN

SPENDING TOO MUCH
TIME AT THE OFFICE.

WELL, IF YOU HAVE, I
CAN UNDERSTAND WHY.

WELL, I JUST CAN'T LET J.R.

CONTINUE TO RUN THE
BUSINESS LIKE HE HAS.

HE JUST NEVER
KNOWS WHEN TO STOP.

DADDY, IT'S STILL YOUR COMPANY.

I KNOW, BUT THAT'S THE POINT.

YOUR MAMA MEANS
A HELL OF A LOT MORE

TO ME THAN EWING OIL.

I SHOULD BE SPENDING
MORE TIME WITH HER,

ESPECIALLY RIGHT NOW.

I THINK SHE UNDERSTANDS THAT.

ALMOST LOSING THIS RANCH WAS
A REAL BLOW TO HER, THAT'S ALL.

WELL, THAT'S JUST ANOTHER
REASON WHY I SHOULD BE WITH HER.

BUT I CAN'T DO IT
WITHOUT YOU, BOBBY.

I'M ASKING YOU TO
COME BACK TO EWING OIL.

OH, DADDY, I'M RUNNING
THE RANCH NOW.

I LIKE THAT.

I CAN'T GO BACK
TO WORK WITH J.R.,

ESPECIALLY IF I HAVE TO LOOK
OVER HIS SHOULDER ALL THE TIME.

I DON'T GIVE A DAMN
WHAT J.R. WANTS.

I WANT WHAT'S BEST
FOR THIS FAMILY.

WELL, SO DO I.

I'M NOT WORKING WITH HIM.

BOBBY, I'VE NEVER TOLD
YOU HOW TO LIVE YOUR LIFE.

I'M NOT TELLING YOU NOW.

I'M JUST SAYING I NEED
YOUR HELP, THAT'S ALL.

ALL RIGHT.

I'LL GO TELL RAY.

I DON'T WANT TO LEAVE HIM
SHORT-HANDED RIGHT NOW, THAT'S ALL.

LOOK, IT'S... IT'S NOT
GOING TO BE FOREVER.

JUST UNTIL WE CAN GET J.R.
ON THE RIGHT TRACK, THAT'S ALL.

THINK ABOUT IT.

YOU ALL RIGHT, MISS ELLIE?

GET YOU A SWEATER OR SOMETHING?

NO, JOCK, THANKS.

WELL, IT'S GETTING
KIND OF NIPPY OUT.

BE WINTER SOON.

TOO SOON.

IT'S SURE QUIET
AROUND HERE TONIGHT.

EVEN LUCY'S OUT.

IT'S TOO QUIET.

I LIKE IT BETTER WHEN
THERE'S FAMILY AROUND.

WE'RE ALL DRIFTING APART, JOCK.

IT'S NOT AT ALL THE
WAY I PICTURED IT.

HOW DID YOU
PICTURE IT, MISS ELLIE?

OH, I DON'T KNOW.

SEEING IT THE WAY IT WAS WHEN
THE BOYS WERE GROWING UP,

ONLY THERE'D BE
OUR GRANDCHILDREN.

THE TWO OF US HERE WITH THE BOYS

AND THEIR FAMILIES.

ONE VERY LARGE, HAPPY FAMILY.

WELL, WE'VE GOT LUCY,
AND LITTLE BABY JOHN,

BOBBY, AND J.R.

GARY'S DOING FINE IN CALIFORNIA.

BOBBY'S GOING BACK
INTO BUSINESS WITH J.R.

IT'LL GIVE US MORE
TIME TO BE TOGETHER...

TO DO THE THINGS THAT
WE'VE TALKED ABOUT,

BUT NEVER DID.

MAYBE THAT'S SOMETHING
ELSE WE PICTURED

THAT WON'T EVER HAPPEN.

WHY NOT, MISS ELLIE?

I'VE LOVED YOU ALL THESE YEARS,

AND I WANT TO END
UP MY LIFE WITH YOU.

IT'S THE TIME OF LIFE THAT
I'VE BEEN LOOKING FORWARD TO.

I WISH I COULD FEEL THAT WAY.

BUT YOU SHOULD, ELLIE.

NO MATTER WHAT
ELSE HAS HAPPENED,

WE'VE STILL GOT EACH OTHER.

REMEMBER THAT.

NOT LIKE WE USED TO.

[COUNTRY MUSIC PLAYING]

HEY, RAY?

HEY, BOBBY.

HOW YOU DOING?
WHAT'RE YOU DOING HERE?

I CAME LOOKING FOR YOU.
YOU WEREN'T AT YOUR PLACE.

I THINK THIS WAS
PRETTY GOOD BET.

Bartender: HERE'S YOUR
WHITE WINE AND YOUR DRAFT.

HEY, LOOK, IF YOU'RE WITH
SOMEBODY, I'LL BUTT OUT.

I CAN CATCH YOU LATER.

COME ON, SHE'LL
BE GLAD TO SEE YOU.

OK.

Bartender: YOU WANT
THAT ON YOUR TAB?

YEAH, RIGHT. BRING US
ANOTHER DRAFT, WILL YOU?

DONNA, LOOK WHO I GOT HERE.

WHO? OH!

WELL, HI.

HOW ARE YOU, BOBBY?

IT'S GOOD TO SEE YOU. YOU, TOO.

LOOK, YOU TWO COULD'VE TOLD
ME YOU WERE SEEING ONE ANOTHER.

WHAT IS THIS?

IT ONLY HAPPENED YESTERDAY.

I FINALLY GOT THE
COURAGE TO CALL HER.

LOOK, I WANT TO THANK YOU

FOR THE CARDS YOU
SENT AFTER SAM DIED.

HE THOUGHT A LOT
OF YOU AND JOCK.

UH, WHERE'S PAM?

WELL, SHE'S WORKING NOW.

SHE WORKS A LOT NOW.

WE, UH, WE LOST A BABY A WHILE
BACK, AND IT WAS TOUGH ON HER.

I DON'T KNOW IF RAY
TOLD YOU OR NOT,

BUT EVERYTHING'S
GOING TO BE FINE.

YEAH, HE TOLD ME.

LISTEN, I DIDN'T WANT TO BE A
WET BLANKET AT YOUR PARTY.

WHERE'S MY BEER, ANYWAY?

IT'S ON THE WAY.

YOU SAID YOU WANTED TO
TALK TO ME ABOUT SOMETHING.

WHAT WAS IT, BOBBY?

WELL, IT'S JUST A LITTLE
PROBLEM, AND I THINK IT CAN WAIT.

Waitress: HERE YOU GO.

THANK YOU.

BRING US ANOTHER
ROUND, WILL YOU?

OH, NO, NOT FOR ME.

NO, I HAVE TO GET GOING
HERE IN JUST A MINUTE.

OLD FRIENDS?

I'LL DRINK TO THAT.

I WAS TELLING DONNA
ABOUT MY NEW HOUSE...

WHAT WE DUG UP OUT THERE.

YEAH, THAT WAS A
LITTLE GRUESOME, BUT...

YOU KNOW, I THOUGHT FOR A WHILE

RAY WAS GOING TO BE THE
ONLY ONE LIVING ON SOUTHFORK.

YOU'RE NOT GOING TO
SELL THE RANCH, ARE YOU?

OH, NO. NO, JUST A LITTLE
SOMETHING THAT HAPPENED

WITH THE FAMILY, THAT'S ALL.

THAT'S WHAT I WANTED
TO TALK TO YOU ABOUT.

LOOKS LIKE I'M GOING BACK
TO WORK FOR EWING OIL AGAIN.

YEAH?

I DIDN'T WANT TO LEAVE
YOU SHORT-HANDED,

ESPECIALLY NOT NOW.

WELL, IT'S PRETTY
QUIET OUT THERE.

I DON'T SUPPOSE THERE'S ANYTHING

I CAN'T HANDLE BY MYSELF, BOBBY.

WELL, WE CAN TALK
ABOUT IT TOMORROW.

THANKS FOR THE BEER.

IT'S GOOD TO SEE YOU...

EVEN IF YOU DO KEEP BAD COMPANY.

SEE YA.

HEH HEH HEH.

OH, I THINK PAM'S
MAKING A BIG MISTAKE.

AT LEAST ONE I SURE WOULDN'T
WANT TO MAKE WITH YOU.

YEAH? WHAT'S THAT?

WELL, DON'T EXPECT
ME TO WORK LATE

AND LET YOU GO
OUT DRINKING ALONE.

WELL, HE JUST CAME IN HERE
TO TALK TO ME ABOUT THE RANCH.

MMM, MAYBE. BUT YOU
KNOW, I HAD THIS FEELING

THAT IF I HADN'T HAVE BEEN HERE,
YOU TWO WOULD'VE CLOSED THE PLACE.

YOU THINK SO, HUH?

YEAH.

WELL, MAYBE IN THE OLD DAYS,

BUT RIGHT NOW, I HAVE
OTHER PLANS FOR MY NIGHTS.

UH, WOULD YOU CARE TO ELABORATE?

WELL, CAN YOU LISTEN
WHILE YOU DANCE?

TRY ME.

[TIRES SQUEAL]

HEY, PAMELA, YOU
WORKING THIS LATE?

HEY, YOU BETTER BE CAREFUL.

ALL THAT OVERTIME MONEY
IS GOING TO PUSH BOBBY

UP INTO A HIGHER
INCOME TAX BRACKET.

SAY, YOU KNOW, IT
MIGHT NOT BE A GOOD IDEA

TO LEAVE BOBBY TOO
MUCH ALONE AT NIGHT.

KNOW WHAT I MEAN? HEH HEH.

UNTIL HE MET YOU,

BOBBY WAS THE STUD IN DALLAS.

MIGHT STILL BE, FOR ALL I KNOW.

MAYBE YOU HAVEN'T HEARD, J.R.

BOBBY'S NOT STANDING
AT STUD ANYMORE.

HE RETIRED WHEN WE GOT MARRIED.

HE LEFT THE FIELD
WIDE OPEN FOR YOU.

OF COURSE, FROM WHAT I HEAR,

THAT STILL LEAVES
THE FIELD WIDE OPEN.

ANYTIME YOU WANT TO FIND OUT,

IT CAN BE EASILY ARRANGED.

DON'T BOTHER, J.R.

EVEN IF I WEREN'T
MARRIED TO BOBBY,

YOU AREN'T MAN ENOUGH.

WELL, I WAS CERTAINLY MAN
ENOUGH FOR ME AND SUE ELLEN

TO PRODUCE A SON AND HEIR,

SOMETHING WHICH YOU AND
BOBBY DON'T SEEM TO BE CAPABLE OF.

SUE ELLEN AND CLIFF!

WELL, I'M NOT SURPRISED

THAT THAT DIMWITTED
BROTHER OF YOURS

WAS BRAGGING ABOUT
HIS AFFAIR WITH SUE ELLEN.

AN AFFAIR, WHICH, BY THE WAY,

DROVE HER TO BE AN ALCOHOLIC.

AS FAR AS HIS CLAIMING

THAT HE'S THE
FATHER OF THAT CHILD,

THERE'S NO PROOF OF THAT.

I HAVE ALL THE PROOF
I NEED FROM YOU.

I'VE NEVER SEEN YOU
TOUCH BABY JOHN,

LET ALONE HOLD HIM.

WELL, YOU DID ENOUGH OF
THAT FOR ALL OF US, DIDN'T YOU?

BUT THAT'S OVER NOW, TOO.

AND AS FOR WHO'S THE
FATHER OF THAT CHILD,

THE COURTS IN THE STATE OF TEXAS

MAKE A VERY STRONG PRESUMPTION

THAT THE WOMAN'S HUSBAND

IS THE FATHER OF THE CHILD,

AND THAT'S GOOD
ENOUGH FOR ME, PAMELA.

I THINK THIS CONVERSATION
HAS GONE TOO FAR ALREADY.

I'M SORRY, J.R.

I SHOULDN'T HAVE
SAID ANYTHING ANYWAY.

BUT YOU DID, DIDN'T YOU?

AND THAT JUST PROVES
WHAT I'VE ALWAYS SAID

ABOUT THE BARNESES...
THEY'RE TRASH.

AND THE FURTHER THE EWINGS
STAY AWAY FROM THE BARNESES,

THE BETTER OFF THE
EWINGS ARE GONNA BE.

I'M SORRY I'M LATE.

YOU LOOK REAL TIRED, HON.

ARE YOU STILL MAD?

NO.

BOBBY... I DID A
VERY STUPID THING.

WHAT'S THAT?

I TOLD J.R. THAT I
KNOW THAT CLIFF

IS THE FATHER OF BABY JOHN.

OH, NO.

PAMELA, WHY?

I DIDN'T MEAN TO.

WE HAD AN ARGUMENT,

AND I REACTED TO HIS
THROWING UP THE FACT

THAT YOU AND I
DON'T HAVE A BABY.

I WASN'T THINKING.

YOU DIDN'T TELL HIM
ABOUT NEUROFIBROMATOSIS?

NO.

WELL, HONEY, HE KNOWS
WHERE YOU'RE VULNERABLE.

EVERYBODY DOES.

AND WHAT DOES THAT MEAN?

THAT MEANS THAT
HE'S GONNA CONTINUE

TO THROW THAT IN
YOUR FACE AND MINE

UNTIL WE FIGURE OUT SOME
WAY TO PUT AN END TO IT.

BOBBY, I WILL NOT
RISK HAVING A CHILD.

I FEEL GUILTY ABOUT IT.

I HATE MYSELF FOR IT.

BUT I WILL NOT RISK IT.

PAMELA, I UNDERSTAND THAT.

BUT ARE YOU GONNA KEEP
HIDING FROM THAT AT THE STORE?

IF I HAVE TO.

HONEY...

IF HAVING A CHILD IS
THE ANSWER FOR US,

AND WE'RE HAVING A
PROBLEM WITH THAT...

WHY DON'T WE ADOPT?

WE CAN CERTAINLY
LOVE AN ADOPTED CHILD

AS MUCH AS ONE OF OUR OWN.

BOBBY, IT'S NOT A
QUESTION OF LOVE.

I'M AFRAID THAT ADOPTING

WOULD MAKE ME FEEL
EVEN MORE GUILTY.

IT'S NOT SOMETHING
WE CAN RUSH INTO.

I JUST NEED SOME MORE TIME.

SUE ELLEN?

YOU TRAMP.

THE TROUBLE YOU'VE CAUSED ME...

I'M GONNA SEE TO IT

YOUR LOVER, THE WONDERFUL
MR. CLIFFORD BARNES,

GONNA END UP ON THE STREET.

AND THAT GOES
FOR HIS SISTER, TOO.

MORNING, SUE ELLEN.

MORNING, RAY.

MORNING.

HI, RAY.

YOU ALL KNOW SHERIFF
WASHBURN, HERE?

HEY, SHERIFF, HOW
YOU DOING? HI, J.R.

MORNING, FENTON. COME
OVER TO HAVE COFFEE?

NO, THANK YOU, SIR.

SOME TROUBLE, FENTON?

NO, MA'AM, I DON'T THINK SO.

I JUST WANTED TO
TALK TO YOU AND JOCK

ABOUT THAT BODY WE
FOUND OVER AT RAY'S.

WE JUST COME FROM THERE.

FIND OUT WHO IT WAS?

NOT YET.

WE SENT IT OVER TO PATHOLOGY
PEOPLE OVER IN DALLAS.

WE THOUGHT HE MIGHT
BE JUST SOME DRIFTER

THAT GOT LOST OUT
IN THE STORM AND DIED.

IS THERE ANY REASON
TO THINK DIFFERENT?

ACCORDING TO THE DALLAS PEOPLE,

HE'D BEEN SHOT.

THERE WAS A BULLET
HOLE IN HIS SKULL.

SORRY, MISS ELLIE.

W... WELL, WHY DO YOU
WANT TO TALK TO US?

THE REMAINS WAS FOUND
HERE ON SOUTHFORK.

I JUST, UH, WONDERED IF MAYBE

YOU OR JOCK REMEMBERED, UH,

ANYBODY THAT MIGHT
HAVE BEEN WORKING HERE

OR PASSING THROUGH
JUST DISAPPEAR.

HOW LONG AGO?

WELL, ABOUT 30 YEARS,
ONE WAY OR ANOTHER.

THAT'S A LONG TIME AGO, FENTON.

YES, MA'AM, IT IS.

RIGHT OFF, I CAN'T
THINK OF ANYBODY.

BACK IN THOSE DAYS, WE HAD DAY
WORKERS WORKING IN THE FIELD.

A LOT OF THEM.

WELL, I DIDN'T THINK IT
WOULD COME RIGHT TO MIND,

BUT MAYBE IF YOU JUST
THINK ON IT A LITTLE WHILE.

OF COURSE WE WILL.

WELL, THANK YOU.

SORRY TO BOTHER Y'ALL
AT YOUR BREAKFAST.

IF I HEAR ANYTHING,
I'LL... I'LL LET YOU KNOW.

Bobby: STRANGE.

WONDER WHO HE WAS.

J.R., YOU DIDN'T SHOOT
SOMEBODY WHEN YOU WERE A KID

AND JUST FORGET
TO TELL US, DID YOU?

BOBBY, I DON'T THINK THAT'S
PARTICULARLY AMUSING.

MOM, DAD.

BOBBY, J.R. DOESN'T
EVEN DESERVE THAT.

WELL, MOM, YOU NEVER CAN TELL.

HE DOES LOVE TO
HAVE HIS SECRETS.

CAN I CATCH A RIDE
WITH YOU, BOBBY?

I CAME IN WITH FENTON.

SURE. SEE Y'ALL LATER. GOOD-BYE.

JOCK, MISS ELLIE.

RAY.

DONNA LOOKED REAL GOOD
LAST NIGHT. HAPPY, TOO.

YEAH, SHE'S SOMETHING
ELSE, ISN'T SHE?

YOU DON'T SEEM SO SAD YOURSELF.

I TELL YOU, BOBBY...

I THINK I'M GONNA ASK
THAT GIRL TO MARRY ME.

THAT'S TERRIFIC!

CONGRATULATIONS!

DON'T SAY NOTHING YET,
'CAUSE I DIDN'T ASK HER,

AND I DON'T KNOW
WHAT SHE'S GONNA SAY.

WELL, IF SHE'S HALF AS
SMART AS I THINK SHE IS,

WE'RE LIABLE TO HAVE A
WEDDING PRETTY SOON.

IF YOU DON'T MIND, WE'LL
HAVE IT RIGHT ON SOUTHFORK.

I COULDN'T THINK OF
ANYPLACE ELSE FOR ME, BOBBY.

GOOD.

I COULDN'T BELIEVE
THAT I FELT THAT WAY.

IT'S A VERY NORMAL THING TO DO.

BUT AFTER ALL THE
PAIN HE CAUSED ME,

WHY SHOULD I CARE
ABOUT HOW HE FELT?

J.R. IS STILL YOUR HUSBAND.

I KNOW,

BUT IT WAS SO CONFUSING
SEEING HIM THAT WAY.

HEH. YOU KNOW,

IN DANGER OF LOSING EVERYTHING,

AND JOCK AND ELLIE
DOWN ON HIM SO.

THERE WAS... I DON'T KNOW
HOW TO SAY IT, EXACTLY.

THERE WAS...

ALMOST A
VULNERABILITY ABOUT HIM.

ALMOST A HELPLESSNESS.

Dr. Ellby: WAS IT PITY YOU FELT?

NO... I DON'T THINK SO.

IT WAS SOMETHING I THOUGHT
HAD DIED A LONG TIME AGO.

IN A STRANGE SORT OF WAY...

I LOVED HIM AGAIN,

AND I WANTED TO HELP HIM.

I DIDN'T THINK I'D EVER HAVE
THOSE FEELINGS ABOUT HIM AGAIN.

ARE THE FEELINGS STILL THERE?

NO.

WHEN DID THEY CHANGE?

AFTER HE STRUCK OIL IN ASIA.

WHY DID THAT CHANGE THEM?

HE WENT BACK TO BEING
THE SAME MAN HE WAS...

OR IS.

CRUEL, ARROGANT,
AND OVERBEARING.

EVERYTHING YOU
LOOK FOR IN A MAN.

DO YOU THINK THAT'S
WHAT YOU LOOK FOR?

IT MUST BE.

I MARRIED HIM.

YOU SHOULDN'T BE
SO HARD ON YOURSELF.

WHY NOT?

I AM MARRIED TO A
MAN I CAN'T STAND,

AND I'M AFRAID TO LEAVE HIM

FOR A MAN WHO IS
EVERYTHING THAT HE ISN'T.

WHY ARE YOU AFRAID?

WELL, MAYBE IT'S BECAUSE
I'M AFRAID THAT DUSTY

MAY TURN OUT TO
BE THE SAME AS J.R.

I DON'T THINK I WANT TO CONTINUE

WITH THESE SESSIONS
ANYMORE, DR. ELLBY.

I'M NOT MAKING ANY
PROGRESS AT ALL.

YOU REFUSE TO
RECOGNIZE PROGRESS.

WHAT PROGRESS?

YOU HAVE ACCEPTED LITTLE JOHN,

AND J.R. AWOKE AN EMOTIONAL
RESPONSE FROM YOU.

WHETHER IT PASSED OR
NOT, THE EMOTION WAS THERE.

CAN'T YOU SEE THAT
YOU'RE BECOMING

MORE AND MORE A WHOLE PERSON?

THAT YOU ARE MORE AND MORE
READY FOR NEW EXPERIENCES

THAT CAN BRING
YOU REAL HAPPINESS...

IF YOU'LL JUST TRUST YOURSELF.

CONNIE, IF I GET ANY CALLS,

I'LL BE AT THE
CATTLEMAN'S CLUB, OK?

OK. FINE.

HEY, JUST IN TIME.

I'LL BUY YOU LUNCH.

I'D LIKE TO TALK TO
YOU FOR A MINUTE FIRST.

ALL RIGHT.

WELL, WHAT'S ON
YOUR MIND, BOBBY?

WELL, I... I TALKED TO RAY.

YEAH?

AND I TOLD HIM THAT...

I'D BE COMING BACK TO
WORK HERE AT EWING OIL.

I APPRECIATE THAT, BOBBY.

IT MEANS A LOT TO ME.

I FIGURED I MIGHT AS WELL.

WITH PAM WORKING THE WAY SHE IS,

I HARDLY SEE HER ANYMORE.

WELL, DON'T BE TOO HARD ON HER.

SHE HAD A TOUGH TIME
WHEN SHE LOST HER BABY.

YOU JUST GOT TO GIVE HER
TIME TO COME AROUND, THAT'S ALL.

I'M DOING THAT, DADDY.

BUT I WAS THINKING MAYBE...

MAYBE SHE SHOULDN'T HAVE
TO GO THROUGH ALL THAT AGAIN.

MAYBE WE COULD ADOPT A BABY.

WELL, NOW, I CAN UNDERSTAND
HOW YOU FEEL ABOUT THAT NOW, BUT,

UH, TAKE YOUR TIME.
DON'T RUSH ANYTHING.

THERE'S NO REASON
WHY IN TIME YOU AND PAM

CAN'T HAVE A
CHILD... A REAL EWING.

SURE.

SEE YA.

Kristin: WHY WERE YOU SO
SET ON COMING HERE TODAY?

WELL, THIS RESTAURANT

HAS A VERY LOYAL
CLIENTELE, MY DEAR.

MOST OF THESE PEOPLE
HAVE LUNCH HERE EVERY DAY.

YOU'RE EXPECTING
TO SEE ONE OF THEM?

UH, MAY I HAVE A
BOURBON AND BRANCH,

AND A CHABLIS WILL BE ALL RIGHT?

MM-HMM. I JUST DID.

HANG ON, HANG ON. LOOK-A THERE.

HARRISON. HARRISON!

J.R., HOW ARE YOU?

GOOD TO SEE YOU.

HA HA! GOOD TO SEE YOU.

I'VE BEEN MEANING TO
CALL YOU. HAVE YOU?

YES, I WANTED TO TELL
YOU HOW DELIGHTED I WAS

FOR YOU ON THAT ASIAN
OIL STRIKE OF YOURS.

WELL, THANK YOU, THANK YOU.

FRANKLY, I THINK IT'S JUST
THE TIP OF THE ICEBERG.

IS THAT A FACT? UH-HUH. HEH HEH.

SAY, I'D LIKE YOU TO MEET MY
SECRETARY AND MY SISTER-IN-LAW,

KRISTIN SHEPHARD.

THIS IS HARRISON PAGE,
THE OWNER OF THE STORE.

YEAH.

SAY, IF YOU'RE NOT
MEETING ANYBODY,

WHY DON'T YOU JUST JOIN US?

BE MY PLEASURE.

WELL, WONDERFUL!

SIT ON DOWN.

SO, THAT ASIAN DEAL

IS GONNA BE A LITTLE
BIGGER THAN WE HEARD?

OH, I EXPECT A LOT OFF OF THAT,

A REAL LOT, HARRISON.

HEY, I DON'T KNOW IF YOU'RE
INTERESTED IN ANYTHING LIKE THAT,

BUT WOULD YOU LIKE
ME TO RING YOU IN ON IT?

WELL, I'D BE VERY INTERESTED.

J.R. SAY THAT YOU
WERE HIS SECRETARY?

HE DID, AND I AM.

MUCH TOO PRETTY
FOR THAT DREARY WORK.

YOU GET TIRED OF IT,
JUST GIVE ME A CALL.

ALWAYS ROOM AT THE STORE

FOR SOMEONE AS
ATTRACTIVE AS YOU ARE.

NOW, DON'T YOU
LISTEN TO HIM, KRISTIN.

THAT JOB HE'S OFFERING
YOU HAS NO PLACE TO GO.

YOU KNOW THAT'S
JUST NOT TRUE, J.R.

WELL, I DON'T KNOW ABOUT THAT.

MY SISTER-IN-LAW PAMELA HAS
BEEN WORKING THERE FOR SOME TIME,

AND OUTSIDE OF ONE
LITTLE ITTY-BITTY PROMOTION,

SHE HAS GONE NOWHERE.

ARE YOU TRYING TO TELL
ME THAT PAMELA EWING

IS SERIOUS ABOUT A CAREER?

OH, INDEED SHE IS.

OF COURSE, SHE'S TOO PROUD TO
TRADE ON THE EWING FAMILY NAME,

BUT I HAPPEN TO KNOW THAT
NOTHING WOULD MAKE HER HAPPIER

THAN TO HAVE A JOB WITH
FAR MORE RESPONSIBILITY.

I THOUGHT SHE WAS
JUST THERE FOR A LARK.

OH, NO, NO, SHE'S A
VERY DEDICATED WORKER.

YOU KNOW,

I KNOW HOW MUCH VALUE
YOU PLACE ON LIZ CRAIG.

BUT I THINK THAT PAMELA

COULD DO A MUCH BETTER
JOB THAN SHE'S DOING.

LIZ IS VERY HIGHLY THOUGHT OF.

OH, I KNOW THAT, I KNOW THAT.

AND SHE'D BE VERY VALUABLE
TO YOU IN YOUR STORES

DOWN IN AUSTIN OR HOUSTON.

IT WOULD MEAN A
GREAT DEAL TO ME...

TO ALL THE EWINGS.

WELL, I'D JUST LIKE

TO PUT A LITTLE
THOUGHT TO THAT, J.R.

WELL, NOW YOU JUST DO THAT,

AND I'LL PUT SOME
THOUGHT TO RINGING YOU IN

ON THAT ASIAN OIL WELL DEAL, OK?

[ALL LAUGH]

WOULD YOU LIKE TO SEE A MENU?

YEAH! SAY, WHY DON'T WE GET A LITTLE
CHAMPAGNE? YOU JUST PICK IT OUT.

[COOING]

WELL... THAT'S A PRETTY PICTURE.

HEH. I NEVER THOUGHT
I'D SEE THE DAY.

YOU'RE HOME EARLY, J.R.

IT'S BARELY 10:00.

YEAH, WELL, AT LEAST
I BEAT PAM HOME.

BOBBY IS OUT BACK CHEWING
HIS NAILS DOWN TO THE QUICK.

HEH HEH HEH.

WOULDN'T YOU LIKE

TO HOLD YOUR SON
FOR A WHILE, DARLING?

NO.

YOU KNOW, I GOTTA
COMPLIMENT DR. ELLBY.

HE HASN'T BEEN ABLE TO
IMPROVE YOUR DISPOSITION,

BUT AT LEAST YOU'RE TAKING
AN INTEREST IN THE CHILD.

WELL, MAYBE YOU
OUGHT TO SEE HIM, TOO.

HE MIGHT BE ABLE TO
DO THE SAME FOR YOU.

IN FACT, YOU AND HE HAVE
MADE SUCH GOOD PROGRESS,

I DON'T THINK YOU NEED
TO VISIT HIM ANYMORE.

WELL, I CAN'T STOP NOW, J.R.

I'M JUST BEGINNING TO DISCOVER

WHAT DR. ELLBY
REALLY HAS TO OFFER.

I'M GETTING DAMN SICK AND TIRED

OF WAITING AROUND
FOR YOU EVERY NIGHT,

NOT KNOWING WHEN
YOU'RE COMING HOME.

DON'T START ON ME NOW, BOBBY.

IT'S NOT A START,
PAMELA. IT'S A FINISH.

YOU FEEL YOU
SHOULDN'T HAVE A BABY,

WELL, ALL RIGHT. I
UNDERSTAND THAT.

AND YOU DON'T WANT TO
ADOPT? THAT'S FINE, TOO,

BECAUSE I CAN LIVE WITHOUT A
CHILD. BUT I WON'T LIVE THIS WAY.

I WANT YOU TO STOP SPENDING
ALL YOUR TIME AT THE STORE

AND MORE OF IT HERE AS MY WIFE.

I CAN'T DO THAT.
I WON'T DO THAT.

THAT'S NO ANSWER, PAMELA.
I WON'T SETTLE FOR THAT.

WELL, THEN I GUESS THERE'S
ONLY ONE ANSWER LEFT...

A DIVORCE!

NOW WHAT KIND OF
AN ANSWER IS DIVORCE?

LEAVE ME ALONE, BOBBY.

NO, WE'RE GONNA
TALK ABOUT IT, PAMELA,

AND WE'RE GONNA
SETTLE IT RIGHT NOW.

I DON'T SEE HOW WE CAN

WHEN YOU WANT
SOMETHING I CAN'T GIVE YOU...

WON'T GIVE YOU.

PAMELA, I TOLD YOU I
DON'T CARE ABOUT A BABY.

I CARE ABOUT US.

ONE OF THE REASONS I WAS SO
ANXIOUS FOR US TO HAVE A CHILD

IS THE WAY YOU ARE
WITH LITTLE JOHN.

I COULD SEE HOW MUCH
YOU REALLY LOVE HIM.

I THOUGHT MAYBE HAVING A CHILD OF
YOUR OWN WOULD FILL OUT YOUR LIFE.

OF COURSE IT WOULD, BOBBY.

BUT MAYBE THE REASON I DID
SPEND SO MUCH TIME WITH HIM

IS BECAUSE I WON'T
HAVE ONE OF MY OWN.

YOU KNOW I DON'T
WANT TO DIVORCE YOU.

I LOVE YOU MORE THAN EVER.

BUT I CAN'T TALK
ABOUT IT ANYMORE.

AND AT LEAST AT WORK, I
DON'T HAVE TO THINK ABOUT IT

OR FACE YOU AND YOUR FAMILY.

WELL, THEN WE WORK IT OUT.

WE TAKE IT ONE DAY AT A
TIME, AND WE WORK IT OUT.

LET'S GO INSIDE.

YOU KNOW, THERE'S REALLY ONLY
ONE THING WRONG WITH ALL OF THIS.

[GIGGLES]

I DIDN'T THINK THERE WAS
ANYTHING WRONG WITH IT.

HEH HEH HEH!

NO, NOT THAT.

IT'S TOMORROW.

I HAVE TO LEAVE YOU.

BACK TO THAT RANCH...
PRETEND I'M WORKING.

ALL I'M REALLY DOING

IS THINKING ABOUT
GETTING BACK TO YOU.

WELL, MAYBE YOU SHOULD QUIT
AND STAY HERE WITH ME. HMM?

I CAN'T QUIT THE SOUTHFORK.

I'M KIDDING.

WELL, I MEAN, YOU KNOW,

IF YOU CAN'T DO THAT,

THEN WHAT CHOICE IS THERE?

GET MARRIED.

[SIGHS] WELL...

THAT A YES OR A NO?

I CAN'T TELL.

LOOK, I KNOW THIS
IS ALL REAL FAST

AFTER SAM'S DEATH,

BUT WE DON'T HAVE
ANYBODY TO ANSWER TO.

DO YOU BELIEVE I LOVE YOU?

YEAH.

WELL, YOU'RE RIGHT.

OH, I DO LOVE YOU.

AND I WANT TO MARRY
YOU... BUT NOT NOW.

WHY NOT?

BECAUSE IT IS TOO SOON.

I DON'T EVEN KNOW IF I
CAN EXPLAIN IT TO YOU.

IT'S JUST SOMETHING
THAT I FEEL LIKE I OWE SAM.

DON'T YOU SEE?

IF YOU AND I WERE
TO GET MARRIED NOW,

THERE ARE PEOPLE OUT THERE THAT WOULD
SAY THAT SAM HAD BEEN A FOOL TO MARRY ME.

I MEAN, THERE WAS HIS YOUNG
WIFE WITH A STUD STASHED AWAY

JUST WAITING FOR HIM TO DIE.

IT'S NOT RIGHT.

I MEAN, I DON'T CARE
WHAT THEY SAY ABOUT ME,

BUT I WON'T HAVE THAT
DONE TO SAM'S MEMORY.

YOU LOOK HERE, LADY.

THAT HOUSE OF MINE

IS GONNA BE READY IN 6 MONTHS.

THE DAY IT'S READY,
WE'RE GETTING MARRIED.

THAT'S ALL THE TIME

I'M WILLING TO GIVE
SAM AND HIS MEMORY.

OH, YOU GOT YOURSELF A DATE.

HEY, HARRISON,
IT'S J.R. EWING HERE.

HARRISON, I GOT SOME
GOOD NEWS FOR YOU. YEAH.

I'M GONNA BE ABLE TO CUT YOU IN

FOR 1% OF THAT
NEW FIELD IN ASIA.

YEAH, THAT'S RIGHT.

I JUST WANTED YOU TO
KNOW, I GOT A LIST A MILE LONG

OF PEOPLE WANTING A
PIECE OF THAT ACTION.

YEAH.

OH, DON'T MENTION IT.

I'M ALWAYS GLAD TO DO
A FAVOR FOR A FRIEND.

HA HA HA. OK, BUD.

OH, SAY, LISTEN!

UH, DID YOU GIVE ANY THOUGHT
TO THAT CONVERSATION WE HAD?

UH, ABOUT PAMELA BEING
PROMOTED AT THE STORE?

OH, WELL, THANK YOU, BUD.

I REALLY APPRECIATE THAT.

HI. LOOK AT YOU.

WORK, WORK, WORK.

OH, I DON'T KNOW WHERE
IT ALL COMES FROM.

WELL, WHEREVER IT COMES FROM,

IT FINALLY PAID OFF.

WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?

3 GUESSES AS TO
WHERE I'VE JUST BEEN.

NO, NEVER MIND,
I'M GONNA TELL YOU.

HARRISON PAGE...

I HAVE JUST BEEN
WITH HARRISON PAGE.

AND GUESS WHAT?

I'M BEING TRANSFERRED
TO THE HOUSTON BRANCH,

AND 3 MORE GUESSES

AS TO WHO'S GONNA
BE MY REPLACEMENT.

HOUSTON?

WHY IN THE WORLD ARE THEY
SENDING YOU TO HOUSTON?

OH... SO THAT YOU
CAN HAVE MY JOB.

CONGRATULATIONS.

YOU HAVE FINALLY ARRIVED.

WHAT ARE YOU SAYING?

I'VE HARDLY EVER
SPOKEN TO MR. PAGE.

WELL, WHATEVER
YOU SAID, HE LISTENED.

YOU ARE NOW THE HEAD
BUYER FOR THE STORE.

LIZ, I NEVER ASKED FOR IT.

I DON'T KNOW WHY
YOU'D EVEN WANT IT,

BUT YOU GOT A JOB
THAT'S GUARANTEED

TO BREAK UP ANY MARRIAGE,

EVEN ONE AS GOOD AS YOURS.

CONGRATULATIONS.

LIZ!

[DOOR SLAMS]

Bobby: SO I'LL BE COMING IN TO THE
OFFICE ON A REGULAR BASIS NOW.

WELL, I'M HAPPY YOU MADE
THAT DECISION, BOBBY.

I REALLY AM.

GIVE DADDY MORE TIME TO
SPEND AT HOME, HUH, DAD?

WELL, I'LL STILL BE
DROPPING BY THE OFFICE

FROM TIME TO TIME, J.R.

I FOR SURE WON'T BE
LEAVING YOUR MAMA

LIKE I HAVE BEEN.

I SET UP A MEETING
WITH THE ACCOUNTANTS

FOR TOMORROW AFTERNOON.

I'D LIKE YOU TO BE
THERE FOR THAT.

ABSOLUTELY, BOB. ABSOLUTELY.

MUST MAKE YOU FEEL GOOD, MAMA,

TO SEE YOUR 2 BOYS BACK IN
THE BUSINESS TOGETHER AGAIN.

IF IT'S BETTER FOR YOUR
FATHER, IT'S FINE FOR ME.

AW, WE'RE GONNA FIX IT SO
DAD NEVER HAS TO WORRY AGAIN.

RIGHT, BOB?

IF LOOKING OVER YOUR SHOULDER

WILL ACCOMPLISH
THAT, YOU BETCHA.

HEH HEH HEH.

SHOULD WE GO IN TO DINNER?

Jock: WHY NOT?

DINNER, DARLING?

I'D LIKE TO KNOW WHO
YOU THINK YOU'RE FOOLING

WITH THAT MR. NICE GUY ACT.

YOU ARE SO
SUSPICIOUS, SUE ELLEN.

I CAN'T THINK OF ANYTHING NICER

THAN HAVING BOBBY
COME BACK TO WORK.

THERE'S GOT TO BE A REASON.

YOU THINK YOU CAN HANDLE
BOBBY EASIER THAN JOCK?

IF YOU DO, YOU'RE WRONG.

I DON'T HAVE TO HANDLE BOBBY.

EVERYTHING IS
GONNA BE JUST FINE.

TRUST ME.

[CAR ENGINE APPROACHING]

Bobby: WELL, YOU'RE HOME EARLY.

WERE YOU COMING TO
MEET ME AT THE STORE?

WELL, NO, I WAS GOING OUT
TO DINNER WITH RAY AND DONNA.

LONG AS YOU'RE
HOME, COME ON ALONG.

OK.

BOBBY, SOMETHING
STRANGE HAPPENED TODAY.

I WAS JUST WITH MR. PAGE,
THE OWNER OF THE STORE.

SURE, WHAT DID HARRISON WANT?

WELL, THEY'RE
TRANSFERRING LIZ TO HOUSTON,

AND HE WANTS ME TO TAKE HER JOB.

WELL, WHAT DID YOU TELL HIM?

HONEY, THAT JOB
IS 4 TIMES THE WORK

AND 6 TIMES THE TRAVEL.
NOW, WHAT DID YOU TELL HIM?

WELL, I TOLD HIM THAT
I'D TELL HIM TOMORROW.

I DON'T BELIEVE YOU WOULD
EVEN CONSIDER TAKING IT.

YOU STILL THINK THAT
JOB CAN TAKE THE PLACE

OF A HUSBAND AND
FAMILY, DON'T YOU?

NO, I DON'T.

IF YOU HAVE TO THINK
ABOUT IT, TAKE THE JOB.

BUT I'LL TELL YOU SOMETHING...

IT'S FOR ALL THE WRONG REASONS.

BECAUSE FOR ALL THAT WE'LL
BE SEEING OF ONE ANOTHER,

FOR ALL THAT WILL BE
LEFT OF OUR MARRIAGE,

WE MIGHT AS WELL BE DIVORCED.
