Dallas (1978–1991): Season 3, Episode 16 - Power Play - full transcript
Kristin discovers Lucy's affair with Alan Beam and brings the information to J.R.. J.R. sees a way to turn Alan's romance to his own advantage.
OH, I'M SO GLAD WE DECIDED
NOT TO TELL J.R. ABOUT US.
ALAN BEAM HASN'T BEEN SPENDING ALL
OF HIS TIME ON THE BARNES CAMPAIGN.
YOU MEAN YOU DON'T MIND?
LUCY IS HER FATHER'S
ONLY TIE TO SOUTHFORK.
AND WITH HER GONE, HE
WON'T FEEL IT NECESSARY
TO TRY TO COME BACK IN HERE
AND MUSCLE IN ON MY ACTION.
ALAN, I CAN'T BE RUSHED
INTO MARRIAGE. I NEED TIME.
YOU TELL HER THAT EVERYTHING'S
OFF BETWEEN THE TWO OF YOU,
AND LET ME HANDLE THE REST.
YOU SURE IT'LL WORK?
ALLOW ME TO BE THE
FIRST TO TOAST THE GROOM.
CAPTIONING MADE
POSSIBLE BY WARNER BROS.
J.R., on telephone: ALL
RIGHT, KRISTIN, FINE, FINE.
TELL THOSE BOYS I'LL
CALL 'EM IN THE MORNING.
HAS ALAN BEAM SHOWN UP YET?
IS IT URGENT?
NO, NO, IT'S NOT URGENT.
WHEN HE GETS IN, YOU
TELL HIM I WANT TO SEE HIM
TOMORROW MORNING AT THE CONDO.
Kristin: OK.
SAY, LISTEN, I'LL BE FINISHED WITH
THESE CARTEL BOYS IN ABOUT AN HOUR.
WHAT DO YOU SAY YOU
MEET ME FOR DINNER, HUH?
THAT'LL BE LOVELY, J.R.
ALL RIGHT. YOU KNOW WHERE.
WAS THAT J.R. YOU WERE
TALKING TO JUST NOW?
UH-HUH.
WELL, WHY DIDN'T YOU PUT ME ON?
HE ONLY HAD TIME FOR HIS
MOST URGENT MESSAGES.
FLUNKIES AREN'T URGENT.
HE'LL MEET YOU AT THE
CONDO IN THE MORNING.
WHAT'S THE MATTER WITH YOU?
YOU KNOW HOW
IMPORTANT I AM TO J.R.
FOR NOW.
YOU'RE REPLACEABLE.
WHAT'S REPLACEABLE IS A SECRETARY
WHO DOES MOST OF HER WORK ON HER BACK.
I'D WATCH MY
MOUTH IF I WERE YOU.
ONCE THE BARNES CAMPAIGN IS
OVER, YOU'RE BACK ON THE STREETS.
YOU'RE WORRIED, AREN'T YOU?
YOU'RE AFRAID IF I GET TOO
CLOSE TO J.R., I'LL CUT YOU OUT.
THAT'S A LAUGH.
HE NEEDS ME.
MM-HMM.
IN ONLY ONE WAY.
AND FROM WHAT
I'VE HEARD ABOUT J.R.,
HE'S OVERDUE FOR A CHANGE.
[DOOR SHUTS]
THANK YOU VERY MUCH, MR. BEAM.
MY PLEASURE.
THIS PLACE IS TERRIFIC.
IT'S SO OUT OF THE WAY.
HOW DID YOU EVER FIND IT?
WELL, THEY HAD A FULL-PAGE
AD IN THE DALLAS PRESS.
OH, YOU!
[J.R. LAUGHING] LOOK WHO'S HERE.
[INDISTINCT]
MMM. THAT'S NOT A BAD WINE.
I THINK MAYBE WE OUGHT
TO EAT SOMEWHERE ELSE.
I'M NOT SO SURE.
MAYBE IT'S TIME TO TELL
MY UNCLE WHERE TO GET OFF.
MAYBE, BUT NOT HERE AND NOT NOW.
WHY? I'M NOT AFRAID OF HIM.
WELL, I'M NOT, EITHER.
I JUST DON'T WANT
YOU TO GET IN TROUBLE.
I'M AN ADULT.
I CAN DATE WHOEVER I WANT.
LUCY, I WANT THE WHOLE
WORLD TO KNOW YOU'RE MY GIRL,
BUT THERE'S NO SENSE IN
CAUSING A SCENE, IS THERE?
I MEAN, COULD YOU ENJOY YOUR DINNER
EATING IN THE SAME ROOM AS THOSE TWO?
AHH... YOU'RE RIGHT.
COME ON, LET'S GET OUT OF HERE.
J.R., WHAT'S BOTHERING YOU?
I WAS JUST THINKING.
WELL, CAN I GET YOU A DRINK?
NO, UH-UH.
I WAS JUST THINKING
ABOUT BOBBY AND DADDY.
I GOT TO FIND SOME WAY TO
KEEP THEM OUT OF THE OFFICE.
WELL, WITH THE ASIAN
FIELDS ALL DOING SO WELL,
THEY SHOULD BACK OFF SOON.
YEAH.
YEAH.
MAYBE YOU'RE RIGHT.
ARE YOU SURE I HAVEN'T
DONE SOMETHING?
MAYBE I'LL TAKE
THAT DRINK AFTER ALL.
MAYBE YOU'RE
GETTING BORED WITH ME.
[J.R. CHUCKLES]
NONSENSE.
MY MOTHER ALWAYS SAID HOW
MUCH YOU ENJOYED THE CHASE,
EVEN MORE THAN THE CAPTURE.
HERE.
YOUR MOTHER IS A
REMARKABLE WOMAN.
HAVE I BEEN TOO EASY?
WHAT DO YOU THINK?
I DON'T KNOW.
SHOW ME.
WELL, I'M SO GLAD WE DECIDED
NOT TO TELL J.R. ABOUT US.
MIGHT'VE SPOILED A
WONDERFUL EVENING.
YOU KNOW I'M READY
TO TAKE HIM ON.
ANYTIME, ANYPLACE.
OH, I KNOW.
I JUST DON'T WANT TO
SPOIL ANY OF YOUR PLANS.
ALAN, ARE YOU SURE IT'S OK
FOR ME TO COME TO THAT
BARNES PARTY TOMORROW NIGHT?
WELL, IT'S A PUBLIC EVENT.
FOR YOUR SAKE,
WE'LL JUST BE CAREFUL.
GUESS WHAT?
I'M GONNA GET THE SEXIEST
ROLLER DERBY OUTFIT YOU EVER SAW.
OH? WHAT FOR?
JUST TO KEEP YOU INTERESTED.
OH.
THAT FEEL BETTER?
MM-HMM.
[JOCK CHUCKLES]
IT'S A FUNNY THING.
IT SEEMS ALL OF YOUR TENSION
ALWAYS GOES TO THE SAME SPOT.
YOU KNOW, EVERYTHING'S
UNDER CONTROL AT THE OFFICE
NOW THAT BOBBY'S THERE.
WHY DON'T WE GO DOWN
TO RIO DOSO TOMORROW
AND WATCH PUNK ANDERSON
WORK OUT HIS 2-YEAR-OLD?
WE MIGHT JUST SPEND
THE NIGHT AT THE LODGE,
THE ONE WITH THE RIVER.
I DON'T KNOW, JOCK.
I CAN'T EVER REMEMBER MISSING
ONE OF HIS ANNUAL BARBECUES.
WE'VE HAD SOME WONDERFUL
TIMES, HAVEN'T WE, ELLIE?
YES, WE HAVE.
THEN YOU'LL GO?
[ELLIE SIGHS]
JOCK, I DON'T KNOW IF I'M
UP TO A BIG SOCIAL EVENT YET.
DOCTOR SAYS YOU'RE
DOING JUST FINE.
THERE'LL BE TOO MANY PEOPLE.
TOO MANY QUESTIONS.
PROBABLY WELL-MEANING QUESTIONS...
OR MAYBE JUST INQUIRING GLANCES.
IT'S GONNA TAKE ME TIME, JOCK.
PLEASE UNDERSTAND.
SURE.
GOOD NIGHT.
[PAM LAUGHING]
Bobby: SHH! SHH! SHH!
YOU WANT A NIGHTCAP?
WHY NOT?
I'M OVER MY LIMIT ANYWAY.
[GIGGLES]
SHH.
OH, I'M GONNA TRY AND NOT
LET MY PROMOTION KEEP US
FROM HAVING MORE
EVENINGS LIKE THIS.
GOOD.
DID YOU HAVE A GOOD TIME?
OOH, I HAD A WONDERFUL
TIME. DID YOU?
MMM.
[CHUCKLES]
DID I TELL YOU THAT YOU
LOOK VERY PRETTY TONIGHT?
YES. TELL ME AGAIN.
NO. IT GOES TO YOUR
HEAD. ONCE IS ENOUGH.
WELL, I THINK YOU'RE BEAUTIFUL.
WELL, I'LL DRINK TO THAT.
AND I HAD A WONDERFUL TIME.
HMM.
IT WAS NICE BEING WITH
DONNA AND RAY, WASN'T IT?
MM-HMM.
AND I HAVEN'T SEEN YOU
LOOK THIS HAPPY IN AGES.
DANCING WITH YOUR BEST GIRL
SURE BEATS FIGHTING WITH HER.
YOU KNOW THAT?
I THINK ANYTHING BEATS FIGHTING.
MMM.
BY THE WAY, WHERE'D YOU LEARN
ALL THOSE FANCY NEW DANCE STEPS?
[CHUCKLES]
I THOUGHT YOU'D NEVER NOTICE.
[CHUCKLES]
[SHRIEKS]
SHH! SHH!
PAMELA...
MMM.
[CHUCKLES]
COME ON.
BOBBY, I'LL BE UP IN A MINUTE.
WHERE ARE YOU GOING?
I'M JUST GONNA GO IN THE
KITCHEN AND HEAT UP SOME MILK.
NOW?
I'LL BE UP IN A MINUTE.
OK.
ANOTHER CUP OF THIS COFFEE OUGHT TO
JUST ABOUT CLEAR LAST NIGHT OUT OF MY HEAD.
HEY, GET RID OF THAT
BUSINESS NOW, WILL YOU?
I WILL.
YOU KNOW, I JUST
FOUND OUT SOMETHING.
WHAT'S THAT?
A HANGOVER FROM
ONE OF MY COWBOY BARS
OR THE FANCIEST
NIGHTCLUB IN TOWN
IS ALL THE SAME
THE NEXT MORNING.
[BOTH LAUGH]
OH, I HOPE BOBBY AND PAM
HAD AS MUCH AS FUN AS WE DID.
I THINK SO.
THEY SURE LOOKED LIKE THEY
WERE ENJOYING THEMSELVES.
YEAH. [KNOCK ON DOOR]
DID YOU ORDER SOMETHING
ELSE FROM ROOM SERVICE?
NO, I GOT EVERYTHING
I WANT RIGHT HERE.
JONAS, GOOD MORNING.
SORRY TO INTERRUPT
YOUR BREAKFAST, DONNA.
NO.
OH, I AM SORRY.
UH, RAY KREBBS, THIS IS
JONAS SMITHERS, MY ATTORNEY.
HELLO.
I WAS RUSHING DOWN TO HOUSTON
AND WANTED TO GET YOUR SIGNATURE.
SURE, COME ON IN.
THANK YOU. HOW
ABOUT SOME COFFEE?
NO, THANKS.
IF YOU'LL EXCUSE ME.
OF COURSE.
THIS'LL ONLY TAKE A MINUTE.
I GOT TO GO TO WORK.
OK.
WHERE DO I SIGN?
RIGHT HERE.
DONNA, WE'VE NEVER DISCUSSED
IT, BUT HAVE YOU GIVEN ANY THOUGHT
TO WHO OUGHT TO
MANAGE YOUR INHERITANCE?
NO, NOT REALLY.
THERE?
RIGHT. I, UH...
GUESS I HAVEN'T REALLY
WANTED TO THINK ABOUT IT.
RAY?
I'LL CALL YOU LATER.
OK.
WE'RE TALKING ABOUT
A SIZABLE ESTATE.
I'D SAY AFTER CLAIMS
AND TAXES ARE PAID,
YOUR SHARE OF SAM'S ESTATE
SHOULD COME TO ABOUT $10 MILLION.
[CHUCKLES]
[ROOSTER CROWS]
MORNING, EVERYBODY.
GOOD MORNING, GRANDDADDY.
MMM.
I GOT A LETTER FROM MAMA.
SHE SAID THAT SHE AND DADDY
ARE JUST FINE, AND SHE
SENDS HER LOVE TO EVERYBODY.
Ellie: DO THEY PLAN TO VISIT?
WELL, SHE DIDN'T SAY.
WOULD YOU LIKE TO READ IT?
YES. THANKS, LUCY. OK.
I HOPE SOME DAY GARY'LL
BE BACK, SO WE CAN BE
A COMPLETE FAMILY AGAIN.
WELL, DAD, YOU AND MAMA SURE
GOT LUCKY WITH THE WEATHER.
GREAT DAY TO FLY DOWN
TO PUNK ANDERSON'S.
I DON'T THINK WE'LL
BE GOING THIS YEAR.
WHY NOT? EVERYTHING'S
UNDER CONTROL AT THE OFFICE,
AND I CAN'T REMEMBER
WHEN YOU AND MAMA
MISSED THE WORKOUTS AT RIO DOSO.
I SAID WE'RE NOT
GOING, SO JUST DROP IT.
[JOHN FUSSING]
EXCUSE ME.
IT'S OK. IT'S OK.
HE'S SUCH A GOOD BABY.
HE SLEPT RIGHT THROUGH
LAST NIGHT, DIDN'T HE?
YES, HE DID.
YEAH, HE'S BECOMING A
REGULAR LITTLE SLEEPER, ISN'T HE?
WELL, I CAN TELL YOU.
HE SURE DON'T TAKE
AFTER HIS DADDY.
SIR?
WHERE WERE YOU
UNTIL 3:00 THIS MORNING?
WELL, I HAD DINNER AND DRINKS.
SOME OF THE BOYS IN THE OLD CARTEL
WANT TO GET IN ON OUR ASIAN DEAL.
I WAS LETTING THEM SOFTEN
ME UP BEFORE I SAID NO.
[CHUCKLES]
YOU KNOW ABOUT IT, BOBBY?
NO, DADDY. IT'S
THE FIRST I HEARD.
YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO TELL
BOBBY THINGS LIKE THAT.
I KNOW. I KNOW THAT.
WELL, THEN WHY DIDN'T YOU?
WELL, DAD, I JUST DIDN'T
HAVE A CHANCE, THAT'S ALL.
I'LL FILL BOBBY IN WHEN
I GET TO THE OFFICE.
I'M SURE YOU WILL.
I'LL SEE YOU THERE.
OH, EXCUSE ME, PLEASE.
BOBBY, WAIT, PLEASE.
WHAT IS IT?
I JUST WANTED TO SAY THAT
I'M SORRY ABOUT LAST NIGHT.
I DON'T KNOW WHAT HAPPENED.
I JUST...
I'M SORRY.
FORGET IT. IT'S ALL RIGHT.
MAYBE I COULD STEAL AN
EXTRA HALF-HOUR AT LUNCH.
MY TREAT.
I DON'T KNOW HOW LONG THE
MEETING WITH J.R.'s GONNA TAKE.
I'M SORRY.
[ENGINE STARTS]
Ellie: LUCY, WE HARDLY
SEE YOU ANYMORE,
EXCEPT AT BREAKFAST.
WELL, I'VE BEEN REALLY
BUSY STUDYING WITH FRIENDS.
Jock: WELL, THAT'S ALL WELL
AND GOOD, SWEETHEART,
BUT YOU BE SURE YOU DO YOUR LESSONS
BEFORE MIDNIGHT ON SCHOOL NIGHTS.
YOU DIG?
HA HA. I DIG, GRANDDADDY.
WELL, I BETTER GET GOING.
OTHERWISE, I'M GONNA
BE LATE FOR SCHOOL.
SEE Y'ALL LATER.
SEE YA. BYE-BYE.
MWAH. LOVE YA, GRANDDADDY.
WELL, I GUESS I
BETTER GET GOING, TOO.
I DON'T WANT TO
KEEP BOBBY WAITING.
MAMA.
YEAH. DAD.
LUCY, DO ME A FAVOR, HONEY.
FROM NOW ON, DON'T
STIR UP YOUR GRANDMA
BY TALKING ABOUT
YOUR MAMA AND DADDY.
I'LL TALK ABOUT WHO I
WANT AND WHEN I WANT.
WHAT I DO IS MY OWN BUSINESS.
WELL, SPOKEN LIKE A REAL EWING,
BUT YOU BETTER PRACTICE
UP ON YOUR TALL TALES.
THAT LITTLE STUDYING
EXCUSE IS WEARING THIN,
AND YOU MAY BE ABLE TO
FOOL YOUR GRANDDADDY
WITH A PECK ON THE
CHEEK BUT NOT OLD J.R.
I KNOW A LIE WHEN I HEAR ONE.
WHEN IT COMES TO LYING,
I'M SURE YOU'RE THE EXPERT.
I SAW YOU AT DINNER LAST NIGHT.
JUST WHEN DID KRISTIN BECOME
PART OF THE OIL CARTEL? HMM?
[ENGINE STARTS]
Alan: J.R., THE CAMPAIGN IS
GOING ACCORDING TO SCHEDULE.
WHOSE SCHEDULE, ALAN?
WHOSE SCHEDULE?
BARNES IS STILL IN THE RACE.
NOW, I WANT TO KNOW WHY!
WE'RE SPENDING THE
MONEY AS FAST AS WE CAN.
I CAN EXPLAIN.
KRISTIN, WOULD YOU GET
ME A CUP OF COFFEE, PLEASE?
CREAM AND SUGAR.
YOU MUST BE JOKING.
WHICH WORD DID YOU FIND
AMUSING, CREAM OR SUGAR?
J.R., DO YOU HAVE TO
MEET WITH HIM HERE?
DARLIN', I DIDN'T HIRE
HIM FOR HIS MANNERS.
WOULD YOU PLEASE
GET US A CUP OF COFFEE?
BE A SPORT, ALL RIGHT?
WOULD YOU LIKE...
NO, I DON'T WANT ANY.
NOW, LISTEN, ALAN, YOU GOT A
LOT OF EXPLAINING TO DO, BOY.
BARNES' WAR CHEST
IS ALMOST EMPTY.
NOW, THE PARTY TONIGHT WILL
TAKE CARE OF MOST OF THE REST OF IT.
THERE'S A TRICKLE
LEFT FOR PRINT,
BUT THAT'LL BE GONE SOON.
THE MONEY I GAVE YOU SHOULD
HAVE BEEN SPENT A LONG TIME AGO.
I COULDN'T CONTROL IT ALL, J.R.
SOME SUPPORTERS SENT IN
UNSOLICITED CONTRIBUTIONS.
YOU MEAN THERE ARE PEOPLE
THAT TAKE THAT CLOWN SERIOUSLY?
THERE ARE A FEW MISGUIDED
FOOLS WHO THINK HIS ATTACKS
ON THE OIL COMPANIES
ARE JUSTIFIED.
I KNOW IT'S HARD TO BELIEVE...
I WANT A FULL REPORT ON HIS
FINANCES ON MY DESK THIS AFTERNOON.
YOU'LL HAVE IT.
IF ANYTHING GOES WRONG,
ALAN, I WOULDN'T EVEN WANT
TO THINK ABOUT YOUR FUTURE.
IT WON'T.
LISTEN, I'LL SEE YOU LATER.
OH, SORRY.
I HOPE YOU DIDN'T GO
TO TOO MUCH TROUBLE.
J.R., I'LL HAVE THAT FINANCIAL REPORT
DELIVERED TO YOU PERSONALLY...
BY A SPECIAL MESSENGER.
[DOOR SHUTS]
[LAUGHTER]
[CHATTERING]
OF COURSE ALAN'S CUTE,
BUT THAT'S NOT THE POINT.
SINCE WHEN?
NO, I'M SERIOUS.
HE TREATS ME LIKE AN EQUAL.
HE MAKES ME FEEL
LIKE I MATTER FOR ME,
AND NOT JUST
BECAUSE OF MY FAMILY.
DOES HE KNOW YOUR FAMILY?
HE'S MET SOME OF THEM.
HE CAN'T STAND J.R.
WHAT DO YOU DO FOR FUN?
OH, WE SIT AND WE
TALK FOR HOURS.
THAT'S IT?
YOU SIT AROUND AND TALK?
MURIEL!
I'M ALL FOR TALK,
BUT WHAT ABOUT
LOVE, ROMANCE, SEX?
HA HA!
AM I THE TYPE TO KISS AND TELL?
YES.
YOU'RE RIGHT.
OH, HE'S WONDERFUL.
HE'S SO MUCH MORE MATURE
THAN THE BOYS FROM SCHOOL.
I CAN'T BELIEVE I
CUT CLASS FOR THIS,
TO MAKE MYSELF SICK WITH ENVY.
HE CAN'T BE THAT GOOD.
OH, YOU'LL MEET HIM TONIGHT.
HE ARRANGED THE WHOLE PARTY.
IT'S A BIG PARTY FOR CLIFF
BARNES' FRIENDS AND SUPPORTERS.
ALAN KNOWS WHAT HE WANTS
AND HE'S GOT THE
GUTS TO GO AFTER IT.
SOUNDS LIKE HE'S GOT
YOU WHERE HE WANTS YOU.
THAT'S OK.
THAT'S JUST WHERE I WANT TO BE.
COME ON. LET'S GO PRACTICE.
I WANT TO BE
TERRIFIC FOR TONIGHT.
[KNOCK ON DOOR]
HELLO, ALAN.
COME ON IN.
THANKS.
I'LL BE RIGHT WITH YOU.
YOU KNOW, I ALWAYS
LIKED THIS APARTMENT.
THANKS.
SERENA, YOU KNOW
THE EWING OIL BUILDING.
SURE.
I WANT YOU TO TAKE THIS ENVELOPE
AND GIVE IT TO J.R. EWING PERSONALLY.
HE'S EXPECTING IT.
BEING A MESSENGER
IS NOT EXACTLY MY LINE.
I KNOW. I KNOW THE PRICE, TOO.
MAKE SURE YOU GIVE IT
TO NO ONE BUT J.R. HIMSELF.
NO PROBLEM.
THERE MAY BE, BUT
DON'T LET THAT STOP YOU.
MY TIP.
MAKE SURE HE GETS
ANYTHING HE WANTS.
SURE, SPORT.
AND SERENA...
MAKE SURE HE LIKES WHAT HE GETS.
[CHUCKLES]
[DOOR SHUTS]
HI.
HELLO.
I'M LOOKING FOR J.R. EWING.
DO YOU HAVE AN APPOINTMENT?
HE'S EXPECTING ME.
WELL, IT'S FIRST
OFFICE DOWN THE HALL.
THANKS. MM-HMM.
EXCUSE ME? MAY I HELP YOU?
YOU JUST RELAX, DARLING, I
CAN FIND MR. EWING MYSELF.
I'M AFRAID THAT'S NOT POSSIBLE.
HE DOESN'T SEE ANYONE
WITHOUT AN APPOINTMENT.
HE'S EXPECTING ME.
I'M AFRAID THAT'S
NOT POSSIBLE, EITHER.
I HAVE HIS SCHEDULE RIGHT HERE.
[CHUCKLES]
THAT'S MY ARM, DEAR.
I WAS SENT BY ALAN BEAM.
HE TOLD ME TO DELIVER
THIS PACKAGE TO J.R. EWING.
THEN YOU CAN GIVE IT TO ME.
I SAID TO MR. EWING.
I OPEN ALL OF J.R.'s MAIL.
NOT THIS.
WHAT IS GOING ON? OH, HELLO.
J.R., SHE HAS A PACKAGE FOR YOU,
AND SHE WON'T GIVE IT TO ME.
MY INSTRUCTIONS WERE TO GIVE THIS
TO NO ONE BUT J.R. EWING PERSONALLY.
MR. BEAM SAID YOU
WERE EXPECTING IT.
OH, ALAN, ALAN.
SURE, I HAVE BEEN
EXPECTING THIS.
STEP INTO MY OFFICE, PLEASE.
YES, HOLD MY CALLS, WILL YOU?
THIS MIGHT TAKE SOME
TIME TO CHECK OUT.
J.R.!
J.R.'s REALLY
WORKING LATE TONIGHT.
GOOD NIGHT, CONNIE.
GOOD NIGHT.
[DOOR OPENS]
YEAH, YOU KNOW HOW IT IS, HUH?
OH, KRISTIN, YOU'RE STILL HERE.
BETTER BE CAREFUL, HONEY.
YOU'LL GET OLD BEFORE YOUR
TIME IF YOU WORK SO HARD.
I'LL EXERCISE.
[CHUCKLES]
THAT'S A GOOD ONE.
I JUST WANT TO SEE THAT
SERENA GETS HOME SAFELY.
I'LL SEE YOU IN THE MORNING.
[DOOR SHUTS]
BEAM, THIS TIME YOU'VE
STEPPED OVER THE LINE.
[DIALING]
[TELEPHONE RINGS]
BARNES FOR CONGRESS.
ALAN BEAM, PLEASE.
HE'S GONE FOR THE EVENING.
WHERE IS HE?
I'M SURE HE'LL BE IN
TOMORROW MORNING.
I REPRESENT THE BIGGEST
CONTRIBUTOR TO THE BARNES CAMPAIGN,
AND I NEED ALAN BEAM
NOW. DO YOU UNDERSTAND?
YES, MA'AM.
I'M SURE YOU'LL FIND HIM AT
THE BARNES ROLLER DISCO PARTY.
HE'S JUST... [SLAMS
DOWN TELEPHONE]
[DISCO MUSIC PLAYING]
[LAUGHTER]
[MUSIC STOPS]
GUESS WHAT?
I'M NOT GONNA MAKE A SPEECH.
[GROANING]
[SPARSE APPLAUSE]
All: SPEECH! SPEECH!
NO, LISTEN, I JUST WANT TO HEAR
THAT YOU'RE HAVING A GOOD TIME.
[CHEERING]
IT'S REALLY JUST A
WAY TO SAY THANK YOU,
AND REMEMBER THAT ALL THE
FOOD AND DRINKS ARE ON THE HOUSE,
AND NOW I'D LIKE TO INTRODUCE
SOMEBODY VERY SPECIAL...
MY DADDY.
[CHEERING]
WELL, I JUST WANT TO THANK
YOU ALL FOR EVERYTHING
YOU'RE DOING TO GET MY
SON ELECTED TO CONGRESS.
I'M VERY PROUD OF HIM,
AND HE'S GOING TO BE
THE BEST REPRESENTATIVE THAT
TEXAS EVER SENT TO WASHINGTON.
[CHEERING]
[DISCO MUSIC RESUMES]
Man: HOLD IT RIGHT
THERE. THAT'S GOOD.
GREAT. NOW, GIVE ME
ONE MORE JUST LIKE THAT.
WHAT DO YOU WANT FOR THE CAMERA?
IT'S NOT FOR SALE.
IS IT FOR SALE FOR $200?
I HAVEN'T BEEN
ON SKATES SINCE...
HA HA. IT'S BEEN A LONG TIME.
GLAD I CAME.
I AM, TOO, SIR.
I'M GLAD YOU'RE
HAVING A GOOD TIME.
YOU KNOW, I'M IMPRESSED.
I'D LIKE TO MAKE A
CONTRIBUTION IF I CAN.
NO. PUT IT AWAY.
WE'RE NOT HERE TO RAISE MONEY.
WE'RE HERE TO HAVE SOME FUN.
WELL, WE'RE DOING THAT.
YOU'RE RIGHT. HE'S CUTE.
HAS HE GOT A BROTHER?
I DON'T KNOW.
LUCY, YOU TOLD ME YOU AND ALAN
WERE GONNA HAVE TO BE REALLY CAREFUL
ABOUT BEING SEEN HERE TOGETHER.
WELL, I DON'T MIND
BEING CAREFUL.
I DON'T LIKE BEING
IGNORED, THOUGH.
I GOT TO GO.
I'LL SEE YOU LATER.
TAKE CARE.
UH-OH. THAT LOOK MEANS TROUBLE.
WAIT FOR ME.
STAY HERE.
I'M JUST GONNA GO
GET A LITTLE ATTENTION.
GOOD MORNING, KRISTIN.
GOOD MORNING, CONNIE.
DID YOU WORK LATE LAST NIGHT?
NOT TOO LATE.
AHH. MORNING,
LADIES. GOOD MORNING.
GOOD MORNING, J.R.
GOOD MORNING, J.R.
HI, HI.
[SIGHS]
MY.
[KNOCK ON DOOR]
YEAH?
DID YOU HAVE A NICE EVENING?
OH, YEAH, VERY NICE.
A QUIET EVENING AT HOME
WITH FAMILY, YOU KNOW.
STRONG AND BLACK.
OH, THANK YOU, DARLIN'.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
I HAD QUITE AN EVENING MYSELF.
DID YOU?
WELL...
[CLEARS THROAT]
ANYTHING IMPORTANT?
YES, BUT NOT IN THERE.
ALAN BEAM HASN'T BEEN SPENDING ALL
OF HIS TIME ON THE BARNES CAMPAIGN.
GET BEAM ON THE
PHONE FOR ME, WILL YOU?
RIGHT NOW.
I WANT TO TALK TO THAT BOY.
I DIDN'T MEAN I DON'T
LOVE YOUR BODY.
OF COURSE I LOVE YOUR BODY.
A DEAD MAN WOULD LOVE YOUR BODY,
ARE YOU KIDDING?
THE POINT IS YOU'RE NOT JUST
SOMEONE I GO TO BED WITH.
I'M CRAZY ABOUT YOU.
NOW, WHAT DO I HAVE TO
DO TO PROVE IT TO YOU?
YOU COULD STOP SPENDING
SO MUCH TIME WITH LUCY EWING.
I DON'T SPEND ANY MORE
TIME WITH HER THAN I HAVE TO.
AND YOU KNOW WHY I HAVE TO.
THAT DOESN'T MEAN I LIKE IT.
WELL, I DON'T LIKE IT, EITHER,
BUT I'M DOING IT FOR US.
THERE HASN'T BEEN
MUCH US LATELY.
BETTY LOU, I TOLD YOU
THIS IS THE WAY IT HAS TO BE.
I'LL BE RICH, AND YOU'LL HAVE
EVERYTHING YOU'VE EVER WANTED.
[TELEPHONE RINGS]
[RING]
YES?
FINE.
NO. NO PROBLEM.
MAKE IT HALF AN HOUR.
I'M SORRY, HONEY, I'VE GOTTA GO.
DON'T ASK, I DON'T KNOW
WHAT'S GOING ON YET.
I'LL CALL YOU AT WORK.
THANK YOU, KRISTIN.
MUST BE SOMETHING SPECIAL TO HAVE
ME UP HERE DURING BUSINESS HOURS, J.R.
YES, IT IS, AS A MATTER OF FACT.
KRISTIN, I'LL BUZZ
YOU WHEN I NEED YOU.
BUT, J.R... THANK YOU, DARLIN'.
KRISTIN'S QUITE A LITTLE
PHOTOGRAPHER, ISN'T SHE?
I CAN EXPLAIN IT, J.R. IT
ISN'T WHAT YOU THINK.
OH?
SEE, WE JUST KIND OF
RAN INTO EACH OTHER.
LITERALLY.
SEE, LAST NIGHT, THERE WAS
THIS SKATING PARTY FOR BARNES.
YOU TOLD ME TO
SPEND THAT... ALAN.
I'M NOT THAT STUPID.
AND YOU'RE SURELY
NOT THAT SMART.
NOW, DON'T LIE TO ME, BOY.
YOU WANT THE TRUTH?
I'LL GIVE IT TO YOU.
LUCY AND I HAVE BEEN SPENDING
A LOT OF TIME TOGETHER.
AND WE'RE VERY MUCH IN LOVE.
IN LOVE?
WHY NOT? SHE'S PRETTY,
AND INTELLIGENT, AND NICE.
AND RICH, DON'T FORGET RICH.
HER MONEY DOESN'T MATTER, J.R.,
AND NEITHER DOES
YOURS. I MEAN IT, J.R.
I LOVE HER. AND I'M
GONNA MARRY HER.
AND YOU CAN'T BUY ME
OFF, SO DON'T EVEN TRY.
BUY YOU OFF?
THAT'S RIGHT.
I'M NOT FOR SALE...
NO MATTER HOW MUCH YOU OFFER.
WELL, I WOULDN'T DREAM
OF BUYING YOU OFF.
YOU WOULDN'T?
WELL, OF COURSE NOT.
IT DOES MY HEART GOOD TO SEE THAT
LUCY HAS FINALLY FOUND HERSELF A REAL MAN.
YOU MEAN, YOU DON'T MIND?
WELL, I'M TICKLED PINK.
I'LL TELL YOU WHAT I'M GONNA DO.
I'M GONNA SET YOU UP IN YOUR OWN
LAW PRACTICE THE DAY YOU GET MARRIED.
KIND OF A LITTLE
WEDDIN' PRESENT.
ARE YOU SERIOUS?
NOW, WHAT DO YOU THINK
IT'D COST TO SET YOU UP RIGHT?
ABOUT 250,000,
SOMETHIN' LIKE THAT?
WELL, IF YOU REALLY WANT
TO DO IT UP RIGHT, DOUBLE IT.
ALAN, YOU'RE A MAN
AFTER MY OWN HEART.
YES, SIR, A HALF A MILLION
DOLLARS OUGHT TO SET YOU UP
IN THE NICEST NEW
LAW OFFICE IN CHICAGO.
CHICAGO?
CHICAGO.
NOW, WAIT A
MINUTE. I LIKE DALLAS.
ALAN, LISTEN TO ME.
AND LISTEN REAL GOOD.
LUCY'S INHERITANCE AND HER
TRUST ARE ALREADY SET UP.
THEY ARE IRREVOCABLE.
SO IT SHOULDN'T MAKE
ANY DIFFERENCE TO YOU
WHETHER YOU LIVE
IN CHICAGO OR DALLAS.
BUT IT MAKES A GREAT
DEAL OF DIFFERENCE TO ME.
I DON'T UNDERSTAND.
ALL RIGHT.
LUCY IS HER FATHER'S
ONLY TIE TO SOUTHFORK.
AND WITH HER GONE, HE WON'T FEEL
IT NECESSARY TO COME BACK IN HERE
AND MUSCLE IN ON MY ACTION.
BUT IF SHE STAYS, I'M GONNA MAKE
CERTAIN THAT YOU NEVER SEE HER AGAIN.
NOW, YOU UNDERSTAND THAT?
PERFECTLY.
AH, I'M LOOKIN' FORWARD TO
HAVIN' YOU FOR A NEPHEW-IN-LAW.
IN CHICAGO.
YOU'RE A DOLL.
YOU CAN'T SLEEP, EITHER?
NO.
ANYTHING I CAN DO?
NO.
PAM, WHAT IS IT?
I'M SORRY.
I GUESS I'M STILL
JUST A LITTLE JUMPY.
ARE YOU SURE THAT'S ALL IT IS?
BOBBY, DON'T.
PAMELA, WHAT IS IT?
EVERY TIME I TOUCH
YOU, YOU TURN ICE COLD.
NOW, TELL ME WHAT IT IS.
I DON'T KNOW.
I'M SORRY. I DON'T KNOW.
ALAN, I CAN'T.
I'M LATE ALREADY.
LUCY, WHY DON'T YOU STAY?
AW, I'D LOVE TO.
OH, IT'LL BE GREAT.
WE'LL WAKE UP TOGETHER.
YOU'LL MAKE BREAKFAST.
ALAN, I CAN'T.
YOU KNOW THAT.
OK, I'LL MAKE BREAKFAST.
LUCY, LISTEN TO ME.
I'M TIRED OF ALL THIS HIDING.
AND I'M TIRED OF
YOU LEAVING HERE
IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT.
WELL, I'M NOT
EXACTLY WILD ABOUT IT.
THEN LET'S GET MARRIED.
WHAT?
I SAID I WANT TO MARRY YOU.
I LOVE YOU. I WANT
YOU TO BE MY WIFE.
MARRIED?
WHY NOT?
DON'T YOU LOVE ME?
OF COURSE I LOVE YOU.
I THINK YOU'RE TERRIFIC.
OK, LET'S TELL YOUR
FOLKS AND SET A DATE.
I CAN'T.
WHY?
PEOPLE ARE GETTING
MARRIED AGAIN.
THE THING TO DO WHEN TWO
PEOPLE LOVE EACH OTHER.
IT'S JUST...
ALAN, I CAN'T BE
RUSHED INTO MARRIAGE.
I NEED TIME.
HOW MUCH TIME DO YOU NEED?
I DON'T KNOW.
ALAN, WE'VE BEEN
SNEAKING AROUND.
MY FAMILY DOESN'T EVEN
KNOW I'VE BEEN SEEING YOU.
WE CAN'T JUST GET MARRIED.
LUCY... LOOK, I REALLY
HAVE TO GO NOW.
CAN WE PLEASE TALK
ABOUT IT TOMORROW?
YOU MAKE IT SOUND
LIKE A DINNER DATE.
I'M SORRY.
I DIDN'T MEAN TO.
IT'S JUST I REALLY HAVEN'T
THOUGHT ABOUT MARRIAGE AT ALL.
OK.
WE'LL TALK ABOUT IT TOMORROW.
GOOD NIGHT.
GOOD NIGHT.
[KNOCK ON DOOR]
J.R.
ALAN.
YEAH, BOY, I'LL TELL YOU,
THIS BETTER BE IMPORTANT ENOUGH
FOR YOU TO DRAG ME
ALL THE WAY OUT HERE.
WELL, I KNOW HOW BUSY YOU ARE.
YEAH.
WELL, YOU GOT A NICE
LITTLE PLACE HERE.
I ASSUME YOU'LL DO
BETTER IN CHICAGO.
I NEED YOUR ADVICE.
ANYTHING I CAN DO TO HELP.
WELL, I'M AFRAID IT'S
GONNA TAKE A LITTLE LONGER
GETTING LUCY TO MARRY
ME THAN I THOUGHT.
WHAT'S THE PROBLEM?
I DON'T KNOW.
SHE SAYS SHE NEEDS MORE TIME.
WELL, YOU DO HAVE A PROBLEM.
INDEED, YOU DO.
WHEN YOU SHOOT
DOWN CLIFF BARNES,
YOU'RE GONNA BE
OUT OF THE SPOTLIGHT.
AND IF YOU LOSE THAT, YOU
JUST MIGHT LOSE LITTLE LUCY.
WELL, WHAT CAN I DO?
IF I PUSH ANY HARDER,
I'LL SCARE HER OFF.
WELL, SHE'S A EWING.
WE ALWAYS SEEM TO
WANT THINGS WE CAN'T GET.
YOU TELL HER THAT EVERYTHING'S
OFF BETWEEN THE TWO OF YOU,
AND LET ME HANDLE THE REST.
YOU SURE IT'LL WORK?
ALLOW ME TO BE THE
FIRST TO TOAST THE GROOM.
HE'S NOT IN.
Woman: BUT J.R. TOLD ME
TO CALL HIM THIS AFTERNOON.
AND SO YOU HAVE.
ARE YOU POSITIVE HE ISN'T THERE?
OF COURSE I'M POSITIVE.
I'VE TOLD YOU 3
TIMES, HE'S NOT IN.
CONNIE.
HI.
ONE MOMENT, PLEASE.
MESSAGES?
THANK YOU.
I'M SURE HE'LL BE BACK, BUT
HE DOES TAKE LONG LUNCHES.
WHY DON'T YOU TRY AGAIN,
SAY, IN ABOUT 6 WEEKS?
[HANGS UP]
J.R., WHAT ARE YOU DOING?
WELL, I WAS JUST GOIN'
OVER THESE MESSAGES HERE.
THAT ISN'T WHAT I MEAN.
TELL ME WHAT YOU GOT IN MIND, I GOT
A LOT OF WORK TO DO, SWEETHEART.
WHY HAVEN'T YOU DONE ANYTHING
ABOUT ALAN BEAM AND LUCY?
WHY? DO YOU CARE?
LOOK, I KNOW HOW YOU
FEEL ABOUT YOUR FAMILY.
AND I'M SURE THAT HE'S
ONLY AFTER LUCY'S MONEY.
WELL, ALAN'S A HARD WORKER.
YOU MIGHT BE DOIN'
HIM A DISSERVICE.
I DON'T THINK SO.
AND I CERTAINLY DON'T
SEE HIM AT SOUTHFORK.
OH, HE WON'T BE AT SOUTHFORK.
NO WAY.
OH, YES, I KNOW. I PLACED
THE ORDER MYSELF.
I'M AFRAID WE'RE GONNA HAVE
TO CANCEL BARNES' RADIO SPOTS.
[KNOCK ON DOOR]
WELL, BELIEVE ME, NO ONE'S
MORE UPSET ABOUT IT THAN I AM.
I'VE HAD TO CANCEL THE TV SPOTS,
KNOCK OUT OUR PRINT COVERAGE.
WE'VE RUN OUT OF MONEY, AND
THERE'S NOTHING I CAN DO ABOUT IT.
[KNOCK ON DOOR]
RIGHT.
RIGHT.
THANKS, BILL.
LUCY.
HI.
SORRY, I DIDN'T MEAN
TO KEEP YOU WAITING.
I WAS ON THE PHONE.
THAT'S OK.
WHAT CAN I DO FOR YOU?
WELL, WE HAVE THAT DINNER
DATE TONIGHT, REMEMBER?
AND I DIDN'T THINK YOU'D MIND
IF I CAME JUST A LITTLE BIT EARLY.
LUCY, I THINK YOU SHOULD
GO HOME FOR DINNER.
ARE YOU STILL MAD AT
ME ABOUT LAST NIGHT?
I'M NOT MAD.
AND I'M NOT TRYING TO GET EVEN.
THEN WHAT IS IT?
I LOVE YOU.
WELL, THEN, THAT SETTLES IT.
WHERE WE GONNA EAT?
YOU'RE GOING HOME.
IT ISN'T JUST FOR DINNER.
AND IT ISN'T JUST FOR TONIGHT.
WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?
LUCY, WHAT'S THE POINT?
I MEAN, OF US DATING
LIKE A COUPLE OF KIDS.
WHAT DO WE DO NEXT? GO STEADY?
THAT ISN'T FUNNY.
NO, IT ISN'T. I'M SORRY.
I DIDN'T MEAN FOR
THIS TO GET NASTY.
BUT IF WE'RE NOT
GONNA GET MARRIED,
I SEE NO REASON FOR US
TO KEEP SEEING EACH OTHER.
I NEVER SAID I WASN'T
GONNA MARRY YOU.
I JUST SAID I WASN'T SURE YET.
I AM.
I TOLD YOU, I JUST
NEED MORE TIME.
PLEASE?
I CAN'T DO IT, LUCY.
YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND.
I LOVE YOU TOO MUCH.
IT HURTS ME TO SPEND
AN EVENING WITH YOU
AND THEN HAVE TO SLEEP ALONE.
I WANT ALL OF YOU.
BUT WE SLEEP TOGETHER.
I'M NOT TALKING ABOUT SEX.
I'M TALKING ABOUT SHARING OUR
LIVES, WHICH WE ARE NOT DOING.
AND I CAN'T TAKE IT ANYMORE.
I DON'T UNDERSTAND.
YOU REALLY DON'T WANT
TO SEE ME ANYMORE?
THAT'S RIGHT.
I DON'T WANT TO BE HURT ANY
MORE THAN I AM RIGHT NOW.
IT'LL WORK OUT, ALAN. I PROMISE.
LUCY...
THAT'S A PROMISE
YOU JUST CAN'T KEEP.
GOOD-BYE, LUCY.
Jock: WHERE'S, UH,
PAM TONIGHT, BOBBY?
SHE'S AT WORK, DADDY.
SHE'S BEEN PUTTING
IN LONG HOURS.
IT'S JUST SOMETHING SHE
FEELS SHE HAS TO DO, THAT'S ALL.
HELLO, EVERYBODY.
WELL, IT'S NICE TO HAVE YOU
HOME FOR DINNER FOR A CHANGE.
I JUST THOUGHT I'D LIKE TO SPEND
SOME MORE TIME WITH THE FAMILY.
WELL, EVENING, EVERYONE.
J.R.
WHERE'S SUE ELLEN?
SHE'S WITH THE BABY.
THAT'S NICE.
I HAVE SOME RATHER
DISQUIETING NEWS.
I'D LIKE YOU ALL TO TAKE A LOOK AT
WHAT WAS DELIVERED TO MY OFFICE TODAY.
ISN'T THIS, UH, ALAN
BEAM WITH LUCY?
J.R.: THAT'S RIGHT.
THE YOUNG LAWYER?
YES, MA'AM.
LUCY, WHAT DO YOU HAVE
TO SAY FOR YOURSELF?
NOTHING.
THERE'S NOTHING TO SAY.
HAVE YOU OR HAVEN'T YOU BEEN SNEAKIN'
OUT OF THIS HOUSE TO SEE THAT MAN?
I HAVE.
AND ALL THOSE NIGHTS YOU SAID
YOU WERE STUDYING WITH MURIEL,
YOU WERE WITH HIM, WEREN'T YOU?
MOST OF THEM.
IS THAT RIGHT, LUCY?
YOU KNOW I DON'T
LIKE YOU TO LIE.
YOU DON'T HAVE TO SNEAK
AROUND US, YOU KNOW THAT.
THE HELL SHE DOESN'T.
IF SHE'S GONNA BE WITH THAT
WORTHLESS, GOLD-DIGGIN' OPPORTUNIST,
SHE BETTER BE SNEAKIN' AROUND.
I KNEW HOW YOU'D FEEL, J.R.
AND THAT'S WHY I KEPT
MY PRIVATE LIFE PRIVATE.
YOU JUST HATE HIM 'CAUSE
HE WORKS FOR CLIFF BARNES.
I DESPISE HIM 'CAUSE I KNOW HIM.
HE'S A PENNILESS,
RUTHLESS SOCIAL CLIMBER.
HE'S NO GOOD. ROTTEN.
BOBBY...
FRANKLY, I THINK
YOU COULD DO BETTER.
I FORBID YOU TO
EVER SEE HIM AGAIN.
WHAT?
YOU HEARD ME.
NO, I COULDN'T HAVE.
I THOUGHT YOU WERE TRYIN'
TO TELL ME WHO I COULD DATE.
RIGHT. WRONG.
YOU WILL NEVER SEE HIM AGAIN.
I WILL SEE WHOEVER
I WANT TO SEE.
NOT ALAN BEAM YOU WON'T.
NOT ONLY WILL I CONTINUE
TO GO OUT WITH ALAN BEAM,
BUT HE'S ASKED ME TO MARRY HIM.
AND I'D LIKE TO TAKE
THIS OPPORTUNITY
TO INVITE YOU ALL TO A WEDDING.
WEDDING?
HEH. WELL, SHE GOT TO BE JOKING.
I HOPE SO.
I CAN'T BELIEVE SHE MEANS IT.
SHE'S NEVER EVEN
MENTIONED HIS NAME.
OF COURSE NOT. SHE
KNEW HOW WE'D FEEL.
I'M GONNA STRAIGHTEN THAT
GIRL OUT ONCE AND FOR ALL.
LET HER BE, J.R.
LET HER BE?
SHE'S A GROWN WOMAN.
SHE HAS TO WORK
IT OUT FOR HERSELF.
MAMA, I AM TRYIN' TO
SAVE HER FROM DISASTER.
SHE'S NOT A FOOL, J.R.
IF ALAN BEAM IS WRONG FOR HER,
IT'S FOR HER TO DECIDE, NOT YOU.
I'M ONLY THINKIN' OF LUCY, MAMA.
STAY OUT OF IT, J.R.
YOU HEAR?
ALL RIGHT.
I'LL STAY OUT OF IT.
MIND MY OWN BUSINESS.
IF THAT'S THE WAY YOU WANT IT.
Jock: THAT'S THE WAY I WANT IT.
WELL, THAT'S THE
WAY IT'S GONNA BE.
CAPTIONING MADE
POSSIBLE BY WARNER BROS.
NOT TO TELL J.R. ABOUT US.
ALAN BEAM HASN'T BEEN SPENDING ALL
OF HIS TIME ON THE BARNES CAMPAIGN.
YOU MEAN YOU DON'T MIND?
LUCY IS HER FATHER'S
ONLY TIE TO SOUTHFORK.
AND WITH HER GONE, HE
WON'T FEEL IT NECESSARY
TO TRY TO COME BACK IN HERE
AND MUSCLE IN ON MY ACTION.
ALAN, I CAN'T BE RUSHED
INTO MARRIAGE. I NEED TIME.
YOU TELL HER THAT EVERYTHING'S
OFF BETWEEN THE TWO OF YOU,
AND LET ME HANDLE THE REST.
YOU SURE IT'LL WORK?
ALLOW ME TO BE THE
FIRST TO TOAST THE GROOM.
CAPTIONING MADE
POSSIBLE BY WARNER BROS.
J.R., on telephone: ALL
RIGHT, KRISTIN, FINE, FINE.
TELL THOSE BOYS I'LL
CALL 'EM IN THE MORNING.
HAS ALAN BEAM SHOWN UP YET?
IS IT URGENT?
NO, NO, IT'S NOT URGENT.
WHEN HE GETS IN, YOU
TELL HIM I WANT TO SEE HIM
TOMORROW MORNING AT THE CONDO.
Kristin: OK.
SAY, LISTEN, I'LL BE FINISHED WITH
THESE CARTEL BOYS IN ABOUT AN HOUR.
WHAT DO YOU SAY YOU
MEET ME FOR DINNER, HUH?
THAT'LL BE LOVELY, J.R.
ALL RIGHT. YOU KNOW WHERE.
WAS THAT J.R. YOU WERE
TALKING TO JUST NOW?
UH-HUH.
WELL, WHY DIDN'T YOU PUT ME ON?
HE ONLY HAD TIME FOR HIS
MOST URGENT MESSAGES.
FLUNKIES AREN'T URGENT.
HE'LL MEET YOU AT THE
CONDO IN THE MORNING.
WHAT'S THE MATTER WITH YOU?
YOU KNOW HOW
IMPORTANT I AM TO J.R.
FOR NOW.
YOU'RE REPLACEABLE.
WHAT'S REPLACEABLE IS A SECRETARY
WHO DOES MOST OF HER WORK ON HER BACK.
I'D WATCH MY
MOUTH IF I WERE YOU.
ONCE THE BARNES CAMPAIGN IS
OVER, YOU'RE BACK ON THE STREETS.
YOU'RE WORRIED, AREN'T YOU?
YOU'RE AFRAID IF I GET TOO
CLOSE TO J.R., I'LL CUT YOU OUT.
THAT'S A LAUGH.
HE NEEDS ME.
MM-HMM.
IN ONLY ONE WAY.
AND FROM WHAT
I'VE HEARD ABOUT J.R.,
HE'S OVERDUE FOR A CHANGE.
[DOOR SHUTS]
THANK YOU VERY MUCH, MR. BEAM.
MY PLEASURE.
THIS PLACE IS TERRIFIC.
IT'S SO OUT OF THE WAY.
HOW DID YOU EVER FIND IT?
WELL, THEY HAD A FULL-PAGE
AD IN THE DALLAS PRESS.
OH, YOU!
[J.R. LAUGHING] LOOK WHO'S HERE.
[INDISTINCT]
MMM. THAT'S NOT A BAD WINE.
I THINK MAYBE WE OUGHT
TO EAT SOMEWHERE ELSE.
I'M NOT SO SURE.
MAYBE IT'S TIME TO TELL
MY UNCLE WHERE TO GET OFF.
MAYBE, BUT NOT HERE AND NOT NOW.
WHY? I'M NOT AFRAID OF HIM.
WELL, I'M NOT, EITHER.
I JUST DON'T WANT
YOU TO GET IN TROUBLE.
I'M AN ADULT.
I CAN DATE WHOEVER I WANT.
LUCY, I WANT THE WHOLE
WORLD TO KNOW YOU'RE MY GIRL,
BUT THERE'S NO SENSE IN
CAUSING A SCENE, IS THERE?
I MEAN, COULD YOU ENJOY YOUR DINNER
EATING IN THE SAME ROOM AS THOSE TWO?
AHH... YOU'RE RIGHT.
COME ON, LET'S GET OUT OF HERE.
J.R., WHAT'S BOTHERING YOU?
I WAS JUST THINKING.
WELL, CAN I GET YOU A DRINK?
NO, UH-UH.
I WAS JUST THINKING
ABOUT BOBBY AND DADDY.
I GOT TO FIND SOME WAY TO
KEEP THEM OUT OF THE OFFICE.
WELL, WITH THE ASIAN
FIELDS ALL DOING SO WELL,
THEY SHOULD BACK OFF SOON.
YEAH.
YEAH.
MAYBE YOU'RE RIGHT.
ARE YOU SURE I HAVEN'T
DONE SOMETHING?
MAYBE I'LL TAKE
THAT DRINK AFTER ALL.
MAYBE YOU'RE
GETTING BORED WITH ME.
[J.R. CHUCKLES]
NONSENSE.
MY MOTHER ALWAYS SAID HOW
MUCH YOU ENJOYED THE CHASE,
EVEN MORE THAN THE CAPTURE.
HERE.
YOUR MOTHER IS A
REMARKABLE WOMAN.
HAVE I BEEN TOO EASY?
WHAT DO YOU THINK?
I DON'T KNOW.
SHOW ME.
WELL, I'M SO GLAD WE DECIDED
NOT TO TELL J.R. ABOUT US.
MIGHT'VE SPOILED A
WONDERFUL EVENING.
YOU KNOW I'M READY
TO TAKE HIM ON.
ANYTIME, ANYPLACE.
OH, I KNOW.
I JUST DON'T WANT TO
SPOIL ANY OF YOUR PLANS.
ALAN, ARE YOU SURE IT'S OK
FOR ME TO COME TO THAT
BARNES PARTY TOMORROW NIGHT?
WELL, IT'S A PUBLIC EVENT.
FOR YOUR SAKE,
WE'LL JUST BE CAREFUL.
GUESS WHAT?
I'M GONNA GET THE SEXIEST
ROLLER DERBY OUTFIT YOU EVER SAW.
OH? WHAT FOR?
JUST TO KEEP YOU INTERESTED.
OH.
THAT FEEL BETTER?
MM-HMM.
[JOCK CHUCKLES]
IT'S A FUNNY THING.
IT SEEMS ALL OF YOUR TENSION
ALWAYS GOES TO THE SAME SPOT.
YOU KNOW, EVERYTHING'S
UNDER CONTROL AT THE OFFICE
NOW THAT BOBBY'S THERE.
WHY DON'T WE GO DOWN
TO RIO DOSO TOMORROW
AND WATCH PUNK ANDERSON
WORK OUT HIS 2-YEAR-OLD?
WE MIGHT JUST SPEND
THE NIGHT AT THE LODGE,
THE ONE WITH THE RIVER.
I DON'T KNOW, JOCK.
I CAN'T EVER REMEMBER MISSING
ONE OF HIS ANNUAL BARBECUES.
WE'VE HAD SOME WONDERFUL
TIMES, HAVEN'T WE, ELLIE?
YES, WE HAVE.
THEN YOU'LL GO?
[ELLIE SIGHS]
JOCK, I DON'T KNOW IF I'M
UP TO A BIG SOCIAL EVENT YET.
DOCTOR SAYS YOU'RE
DOING JUST FINE.
THERE'LL BE TOO MANY PEOPLE.
TOO MANY QUESTIONS.
PROBABLY WELL-MEANING QUESTIONS...
OR MAYBE JUST INQUIRING GLANCES.
IT'S GONNA TAKE ME TIME, JOCK.
PLEASE UNDERSTAND.
SURE.
GOOD NIGHT.
[PAM LAUGHING]
Bobby: SHH! SHH! SHH!
YOU WANT A NIGHTCAP?
WHY NOT?
I'M OVER MY LIMIT ANYWAY.
[GIGGLES]
SHH.
OH, I'M GONNA TRY AND NOT
LET MY PROMOTION KEEP US
FROM HAVING MORE
EVENINGS LIKE THIS.
GOOD.
DID YOU HAVE A GOOD TIME?
OOH, I HAD A WONDERFUL
TIME. DID YOU?
MMM.
[CHUCKLES]
DID I TELL YOU THAT YOU
LOOK VERY PRETTY TONIGHT?
YES. TELL ME AGAIN.
NO. IT GOES TO YOUR
HEAD. ONCE IS ENOUGH.
WELL, I THINK YOU'RE BEAUTIFUL.
WELL, I'LL DRINK TO THAT.
AND I HAD A WONDERFUL TIME.
HMM.
IT WAS NICE BEING WITH
DONNA AND RAY, WASN'T IT?
MM-HMM.
AND I HAVEN'T SEEN YOU
LOOK THIS HAPPY IN AGES.
DANCING WITH YOUR BEST GIRL
SURE BEATS FIGHTING WITH HER.
YOU KNOW THAT?
I THINK ANYTHING BEATS FIGHTING.
MMM.
BY THE WAY, WHERE'D YOU LEARN
ALL THOSE FANCY NEW DANCE STEPS?
[CHUCKLES]
I THOUGHT YOU'D NEVER NOTICE.
[CHUCKLES]
[SHRIEKS]
SHH! SHH!
PAMELA...
MMM.
[CHUCKLES]
COME ON.
BOBBY, I'LL BE UP IN A MINUTE.
WHERE ARE YOU GOING?
I'M JUST GONNA GO IN THE
KITCHEN AND HEAT UP SOME MILK.
NOW?
I'LL BE UP IN A MINUTE.
OK.
ANOTHER CUP OF THIS COFFEE OUGHT TO
JUST ABOUT CLEAR LAST NIGHT OUT OF MY HEAD.
HEY, GET RID OF THAT
BUSINESS NOW, WILL YOU?
I WILL.
YOU KNOW, I JUST
FOUND OUT SOMETHING.
WHAT'S THAT?
A HANGOVER FROM
ONE OF MY COWBOY BARS
OR THE FANCIEST
NIGHTCLUB IN TOWN
IS ALL THE SAME
THE NEXT MORNING.
[BOTH LAUGH]
OH, I HOPE BOBBY AND PAM
HAD AS MUCH AS FUN AS WE DID.
I THINK SO.
THEY SURE LOOKED LIKE THEY
WERE ENJOYING THEMSELVES.
YEAH. [KNOCK ON DOOR]
DID YOU ORDER SOMETHING
ELSE FROM ROOM SERVICE?
NO, I GOT EVERYTHING
I WANT RIGHT HERE.
JONAS, GOOD MORNING.
SORRY TO INTERRUPT
YOUR BREAKFAST, DONNA.
NO.
OH, I AM SORRY.
UH, RAY KREBBS, THIS IS
JONAS SMITHERS, MY ATTORNEY.
HELLO.
I WAS RUSHING DOWN TO HOUSTON
AND WANTED TO GET YOUR SIGNATURE.
SURE, COME ON IN.
THANK YOU. HOW
ABOUT SOME COFFEE?
NO, THANKS.
IF YOU'LL EXCUSE ME.
OF COURSE.
THIS'LL ONLY TAKE A MINUTE.
I GOT TO GO TO WORK.
OK.
WHERE DO I SIGN?
RIGHT HERE.
DONNA, WE'VE NEVER DISCUSSED
IT, BUT HAVE YOU GIVEN ANY THOUGHT
TO WHO OUGHT TO
MANAGE YOUR INHERITANCE?
NO, NOT REALLY.
THERE?
RIGHT. I, UH...
GUESS I HAVEN'T REALLY
WANTED TO THINK ABOUT IT.
RAY?
I'LL CALL YOU LATER.
OK.
WE'RE TALKING ABOUT
A SIZABLE ESTATE.
I'D SAY AFTER CLAIMS
AND TAXES ARE PAID,
YOUR SHARE OF SAM'S ESTATE
SHOULD COME TO ABOUT $10 MILLION.
[CHUCKLES]
[ROOSTER CROWS]
MORNING, EVERYBODY.
GOOD MORNING, GRANDDADDY.
MMM.
I GOT A LETTER FROM MAMA.
SHE SAID THAT SHE AND DADDY
ARE JUST FINE, AND SHE
SENDS HER LOVE TO EVERYBODY.
Ellie: DO THEY PLAN TO VISIT?
WELL, SHE DIDN'T SAY.
WOULD YOU LIKE TO READ IT?
YES. THANKS, LUCY. OK.
I HOPE SOME DAY GARY'LL
BE BACK, SO WE CAN BE
A COMPLETE FAMILY AGAIN.
WELL, DAD, YOU AND MAMA SURE
GOT LUCKY WITH THE WEATHER.
GREAT DAY TO FLY DOWN
TO PUNK ANDERSON'S.
I DON'T THINK WE'LL
BE GOING THIS YEAR.
WHY NOT? EVERYTHING'S
UNDER CONTROL AT THE OFFICE,
AND I CAN'T REMEMBER
WHEN YOU AND MAMA
MISSED THE WORKOUTS AT RIO DOSO.
I SAID WE'RE NOT
GOING, SO JUST DROP IT.
[JOHN FUSSING]
EXCUSE ME.
IT'S OK. IT'S OK.
HE'S SUCH A GOOD BABY.
HE SLEPT RIGHT THROUGH
LAST NIGHT, DIDN'T HE?
YES, HE DID.
YEAH, HE'S BECOMING A
REGULAR LITTLE SLEEPER, ISN'T HE?
WELL, I CAN TELL YOU.
HE SURE DON'T TAKE
AFTER HIS DADDY.
SIR?
WHERE WERE YOU
UNTIL 3:00 THIS MORNING?
WELL, I HAD DINNER AND DRINKS.
SOME OF THE BOYS IN THE OLD CARTEL
WANT TO GET IN ON OUR ASIAN DEAL.
I WAS LETTING THEM SOFTEN
ME UP BEFORE I SAID NO.
[CHUCKLES]
YOU KNOW ABOUT IT, BOBBY?
NO, DADDY. IT'S
THE FIRST I HEARD.
YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO TELL
BOBBY THINGS LIKE THAT.
I KNOW. I KNOW THAT.
WELL, THEN WHY DIDN'T YOU?
WELL, DAD, I JUST DIDN'T
HAVE A CHANCE, THAT'S ALL.
I'LL FILL BOBBY IN WHEN
I GET TO THE OFFICE.
I'M SURE YOU WILL.
I'LL SEE YOU THERE.
OH, EXCUSE ME, PLEASE.
BOBBY, WAIT, PLEASE.
WHAT IS IT?
I JUST WANTED TO SAY THAT
I'M SORRY ABOUT LAST NIGHT.
I DON'T KNOW WHAT HAPPENED.
I JUST...
I'M SORRY.
FORGET IT. IT'S ALL RIGHT.
MAYBE I COULD STEAL AN
EXTRA HALF-HOUR AT LUNCH.
MY TREAT.
I DON'T KNOW HOW LONG THE
MEETING WITH J.R.'s GONNA TAKE.
I'M SORRY.
[ENGINE STARTS]
Ellie: LUCY, WE HARDLY
SEE YOU ANYMORE,
EXCEPT AT BREAKFAST.
WELL, I'VE BEEN REALLY
BUSY STUDYING WITH FRIENDS.
Jock: WELL, THAT'S ALL WELL
AND GOOD, SWEETHEART,
BUT YOU BE SURE YOU DO YOUR LESSONS
BEFORE MIDNIGHT ON SCHOOL NIGHTS.
YOU DIG?
HA HA. I DIG, GRANDDADDY.
WELL, I BETTER GET GOING.
OTHERWISE, I'M GONNA
BE LATE FOR SCHOOL.
SEE Y'ALL LATER.
SEE YA. BYE-BYE.
MWAH. LOVE YA, GRANDDADDY.
WELL, I GUESS I
BETTER GET GOING, TOO.
I DON'T WANT TO
KEEP BOBBY WAITING.
MAMA.
YEAH. DAD.
LUCY, DO ME A FAVOR, HONEY.
FROM NOW ON, DON'T
STIR UP YOUR GRANDMA
BY TALKING ABOUT
YOUR MAMA AND DADDY.
I'LL TALK ABOUT WHO I
WANT AND WHEN I WANT.
WHAT I DO IS MY OWN BUSINESS.
WELL, SPOKEN LIKE A REAL EWING,
BUT YOU BETTER PRACTICE
UP ON YOUR TALL TALES.
THAT LITTLE STUDYING
EXCUSE IS WEARING THIN,
AND YOU MAY BE ABLE TO
FOOL YOUR GRANDDADDY
WITH A PECK ON THE
CHEEK BUT NOT OLD J.R.
I KNOW A LIE WHEN I HEAR ONE.
WHEN IT COMES TO LYING,
I'M SURE YOU'RE THE EXPERT.
I SAW YOU AT DINNER LAST NIGHT.
JUST WHEN DID KRISTIN BECOME
PART OF THE OIL CARTEL? HMM?
[ENGINE STARTS]
Alan: J.R., THE CAMPAIGN IS
GOING ACCORDING TO SCHEDULE.
WHOSE SCHEDULE, ALAN?
WHOSE SCHEDULE?
BARNES IS STILL IN THE RACE.
NOW, I WANT TO KNOW WHY!
WE'RE SPENDING THE
MONEY AS FAST AS WE CAN.
I CAN EXPLAIN.
KRISTIN, WOULD YOU GET
ME A CUP OF COFFEE, PLEASE?
CREAM AND SUGAR.
YOU MUST BE JOKING.
WHICH WORD DID YOU FIND
AMUSING, CREAM OR SUGAR?
J.R., DO YOU HAVE TO
MEET WITH HIM HERE?
DARLIN', I DIDN'T HIRE
HIM FOR HIS MANNERS.
WOULD YOU PLEASE
GET US A CUP OF COFFEE?
BE A SPORT, ALL RIGHT?
WOULD YOU LIKE...
NO, I DON'T WANT ANY.
NOW, LISTEN, ALAN, YOU GOT A
LOT OF EXPLAINING TO DO, BOY.
BARNES' WAR CHEST
IS ALMOST EMPTY.
NOW, THE PARTY TONIGHT WILL
TAKE CARE OF MOST OF THE REST OF IT.
THERE'S A TRICKLE
LEFT FOR PRINT,
BUT THAT'LL BE GONE SOON.
THE MONEY I GAVE YOU SHOULD
HAVE BEEN SPENT A LONG TIME AGO.
I COULDN'T CONTROL IT ALL, J.R.
SOME SUPPORTERS SENT IN
UNSOLICITED CONTRIBUTIONS.
YOU MEAN THERE ARE PEOPLE
THAT TAKE THAT CLOWN SERIOUSLY?
THERE ARE A FEW MISGUIDED
FOOLS WHO THINK HIS ATTACKS
ON THE OIL COMPANIES
ARE JUSTIFIED.
I KNOW IT'S HARD TO BELIEVE...
I WANT A FULL REPORT ON HIS
FINANCES ON MY DESK THIS AFTERNOON.
YOU'LL HAVE IT.
IF ANYTHING GOES WRONG,
ALAN, I WOULDN'T EVEN WANT
TO THINK ABOUT YOUR FUTURE.
IT WON'T.
LISTEN, I'LL SEE YOU LATER.
OH, SORRY.
I HOPE YOU DIDN'T GO
TO TOO MUCH TROUBLE.
J.R., I'LL HAVE THAT FINANCIAL REPORT
DELIVERED TO YOU PERSONALLY...
BY A SPECIAL MESSENGER.
[DOOR SHUTS]
[LAUGHTER]
[CHATTERING]
OF COURSE ALAN'S CUTE,
BUT THAT'S NOT THE POINT.
SINCE WHEN?
NO, I'M SERIOUS.
HE TREATS ME LIKE AN EQUAL.
HE MAKES ME FEEL
LIKE I MATTER FOR ME,
AND NOT JUST
BECAUSE OF MY FAMILY.
DOES HE KNOW YOUR FAMILY?
HE'S MET SOME OF THEM.
HE CAN'T STAND J.R.
WHAT DO YOU DO FOR FUN?
OH, WE SIT AND WE
TALK FOR HOURS.
THAT'S IT?
YOU SIT AROUND AND TALK?
MURIEL!
I'M ALL FOR TALK,
BUT WHAT ABOUT
LOVE, ROMANCE, SEX?
HA HA!
AM I THE TYPE TO KISS AND TELL?
YES.
YOU'RE RIGHT.
OH, HE'S WONDERFUL.
HE'S SO MUCH MORE MATURE
THAN THE BOYS FROM SCHOOL.
I CAN'T BELIEVE I
CUT CLASS FOR THIS,
TO MAKE MYSELF SICK WITH ENVY.
HE CAN'T BE THAT GOOD.
OH, YOU'LL MEET HIM TONIGHT.
HE ARRANGED THE WHOLE PARTY.
IT'S A BIG PARTY FOR CLIFF
BARNES' FRIENDS AND SUPPORTERS.
ALAN KNOWS WHAT HE WANTS
AND HE'S GOT THE
GUTS TO GO AFTER IT.
SOUNDS LIKE HE'S GOT
YOU WHERE HE WANTS YOU.
THAT'S OK.
THAT'S JUST WHERE I WANT TO BE.
COME ON. LET'S GO PRACTICE.
I WANT TO BE
TERRIFIC FOR TONIGHT.
[KNOCK ON DOOR]
HELLO, ALAN.
COME ON IN.
THANKS.
I'LL BE RIGHT WITH YOU.
YOU KNOW, I ALWAYS
LIKED THIS APARTMENT.
THANKS.
SERENA, YOU KNOW
THE EWING OIL BUILDING.
SURE.
I WANT YOU TO TAKE THIS ENVELOPE
AND GIVE IT TO J.R. EWING PERSONALLY.
HE'S EXPECTING IT.
BEING A MESSENGER
IS NOT EXACTLY MY LINE.
I KNOW. I KNOW THE PRICE, TOO.
MAKE SURE YOU GIVE IT
TO NO ONE BUT J.R. HIMSELF.
NO PROBLEM.
THERE MAY BE, BUT
DON'T LET THAT STOP YOU.
MY TIP.
MAKE SURE HE GETS
ANYTHING HE WANTS.
SURE, SPORT.
AND SERENA...
MAKE SURE HE LIKES WHAT HE GETS.
[CHUCKLES]
[DOOR SHUTS]
HI.
HELLO.
I'M LOOKING FOR J.R. EWING.
DO YOU HAVE AN APPOINTMENT?
HE'S EXPECTING ME.
WELL, IT'S FIRST
OFFICE DOWN THE HALL.
THANKS. MM-HMM.
EXCUSE ME? MAY I HELP YOU?
YOU JUST RELAX, DARLING, I
CAN FIND MR. EWING MYSELF.
I'M AFRAID THAT'S NOT POSSIBLE.
HE DOESN'T SEE ANYONE
WITHOUT AN APPOINTMENT.
HE'S EXPECTING ME.
I'M AFRAID THAT'S
NOT POSSIBLE, EITHER.
I HAVE HIS SCHEDULE RIGHT HERE.
[CHUCKLES]
THAT'S MY ARM, DEAR.
I WAS SENT BY ALAN BEAM.
HE TOLD ME TO DELIVER
THIS PACKAGE TO J.R. EWING.
THEN YOU CAN GIVE IT TO ME.
I SAID TO MR. EWING.
I OPEN ALL OF J.R.'s MAIL.
NOT THIS.
WHAT IS GOING ON? OH, HELLO.
J.R., SHE HAS A PACKAGE FOR YOU,
AND SHE WON'T GIVE IT TO ME.
MY INSTRUCTIONS WERE TO GIVE THIS
TO NO ONE BUT J.R. EWING PERSONALLY.
MR. BEAM SAID YOU
WERE EXPECTING IT.
OH, ALAN, ALAN.
SURE, I HAVE BEEN
EXPECTING THIS.
STEP INTO MY OFFICE, PLEASE.
YES, HOLD MY CALLS, WILL YOU?
THIS MIGHT TAKE SOME
TIME TO CHECK OUT.
J.R.!
J.R.'s REALLY
WORKING LATE TONIGHT.
GOOD NIGHT, CONNIE.
GOOD NIGHT.
[DOOR OPENS]
YEAH, YOU KNOW HOW IT IS, HUH?
OH, KRISTIN, YOU'RE STILL HERE.
BETTER BE CAREFUL, HONEY.
YOU'LL GET OLD BEFORE YOUR
TIME IF YOU WORK SO HARD.
I'LL EXERCISE.
[CHUCKLES]
THAT'S A GOOD ONE.
I JUST WANT TO SEE THAT
SERENA GETS HOME SAFELY.
I'LL SEE YOU IN THE MORNING.
[DOOR SHUTS]
BEAM, THIS TIME YOU'VE
STEPPED OVER THE LINE.
[DIALING]
[TELEPHONE RINGS]
BARNES FOR CONGRESS.
ALAN BEAM, PLEASE.
HE'S GONE FOR THE EVENING.
WHERE IS HE?
I'M SURE HE'LL BE IN
TOMORROW MORNING.
I REPRESENT THE BIGGEST
CONTRIBUTOR TO THE BARNES CAMPAIGN,
AND I NEED ALAN BEAM
NOW. DO YOU UNDERSTAND?
YES, MA'AM.
I'M SURE YOU'LL FIND HIM AT
THE BARNES ROLLER DISCO PARTY.
HE'S JUST... [SLAMS
DOWN TELEPHONE]
[DISCO MUSIC PLAYING]
[LAUGHTER]
[MUSIC STOPS]
GUESS WHAT?
I'M NOT GONNA MAKE A SPEECH.
[GROANING]
[SPARSE APPLAUSE]
All: SPEECH! SPEECH!
NO, LISTEN, I JUST WANT TO HEAR
THAT YOU'RE HAVING A GOOD TIME.
[CHEERING]
IT'S REALLY JUST A
WAY TO SAY THANK YOU,
AND REMEMBER THAT ALL THE
FOOD AND DRINKS ARE ON THE HOUSE,
AND NOW I'D LIKE TO INTRODUCE
SOMEBODY VERY SPECIAL...
MY DADDY.
[CHEERING]
WELL, I JUST WANT TO THANK
YOU ALL FOR EVERYTHING
YOU'RE DOING TO GET MY
SON ELECTED TO CONGRESS.
I'M VERY PROUD OF HIM,
AND HE'S GOING TO BE
THE BEST REPRESENTATIVE THAT
TEXAS EVER SENT TO WASHINGTON.
[CHEERING]
[DISCO MUSIC RESUMES]
Man: HOLD IT RIGHT
THERE. THAT'S GOOD.
GREAT. NOW, GIVE ME
ONE MORE JUST LIKE THAT.
WHAT DO YOU WANT FOR THE CAMERA?
IT'S NOT FOR SALE.
IS IT FOR SALE FOR $200?
I HAVEN'T BEEN
ON SKATES SINCE...
HA HA. IT'S BEEN A LONG TIME.
GLAD I CAME.
I AM, TOO, SIR.
I'M GLAD YOU'RE
HAVING A GOOD TIME.
YOU KNOW, I'M IMPRESSED.
I'D LIKE TO MAKE A
CONTRIBUTION IF I CAN.
NO. PUT IT AWAY.
WE'RE NOT HERE TO RAISE MONEY.
WE'RE HERE TO HAVE SOME FUN.
WELL, WE'RE DOING THAT.
YOU'RE RIGHT. HE'S CUTE.
HAS HE GOT A BROTHER?
I DON'T KNOW.
LUCY, YOU TOLD ME YOU AND ALAN
WERE GONNA HAVE TO BE REALLY CAREFUL
ABOUT BEING SEEN HERE TOGETHER.
WELL, I DON'T MIND
BEING CAREFUL.
I DON'T LIKE BEING
IGNORED, THOUGH.
I GOT TO GO.
I'LL SEE YOU LATER.
TAKE CARE.
UH-OH. THAT LOOK MEANS TROUBLE.
WAIT FOR ME.
STAY HERE.
I'M JUST GONNA GO
GET A LITTLE ATTENTION.
GOOD MORNING, KRISTIN.
GOOD MORNING, CONNIE.
DID YOU WORK LATE LAST NIGHT?
NOT TOO LATE.
AHH. MORNING,
LADIES. GOOD MORNING.
GOOD MORNING, J.R.
GOOD MORNING, J.R.
HI, HI.
[SIGHS]
MY.
[KNOCK ON DOOR]
YEAH?
DID YOU HAVE A NICE EVENING?
OH, YEAH, VERY NICE.
A QUIET EVENING AT HOME
WITH FAMILY, YOU KNOW.
STRONG AND BLACK.
OH, THANK YOU, DARLIN'.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
I HAD QUITE AN EVENING MYSELF.
DID YOU?
WELL...
[CLEARS THROAT]
ANYTHING IMPORTANT?
YES, BUT NOT IN THERE.
ALAN BEAM HASN'T BEEN SPENDING ALL
OF HIS TIME ON THE BARNES CAMPAIGN.
GET BEAM ON THE
PHONE FOR ME, WILL YOU?
RIGHT NOW.
I WANT TO TALK TO THAT BOY.
I DIDN'T MEAN I DON'T
LOVE YOUR BODY.
OF COURSE I LOVE YOUR BODY.
A DEAD MAN WOULD LOVE YOUR BODY,
ARE YOU KIDDING?
THE POINT IS YOU'RE NOT JUST
SOMEONE I GO TO BED WITH.
I'M CRAZY ABOUT YOU.
NOW, WHAT DO I HAVE TO
DO TO PROVE IT TO YOU?
YOU COULD STOP SPENDING
SO MUCH TIME WITH LUCY EWING.
I DON'T SPEND ANY MORE
TIME WITH HER THAN I HAVE TO.
AND YOU KNOW WHY I HAVE TO.
THAT DOESN'T MEAN I LIKE IT.
WELL, I DON'T LIKE IT, EITHER,
BUT I'M DOING IT FOR US.
THERE HASN'T BEEN
MUCH US LATELY.
BETTY LOU, I TOLD YOU
THIS IS THE WAY IT HAS TO BE.
I'LL BE RICH, AND YOU'LL HAVE
EVERYTHING YOU'VE EVER WANTED.
[TELEPHONE RINGS]
[RING]
YES?
FINE.
NO. NO PROBLEM.
MAKE IT HALF AN HOUR.
I'M SORRY, HONEY, I'VE GOTTA GO.
DON'T ASK, I DON'T KNOW
WHAT'S GOING ON YET.
I'LL CALL YOU AT WORK.
THANK YOU, KRISTIN.
MUST BE SOMETHING SPECIAL TO HAVE
ME UP HERE DURING BUSINESS HOURS, J.R.
YES, IT IS, AS A MATTER OF FACT.
KRISTIN, I'LL BUZZ
YOU WHEN I NEED YOU.
BUT, J.R... THANK YOU, DARLIN'.
KRISTIN'S QUITE A LITTLE
PHOTOGRAPHER, ISN'T SHE?
I CAN EXPLAIN IT, J.R. IT
ISN'T WHAT YOU THINK.
OH?
SEE, WE JUST KIND OF
RAN INTO EACH OTHER.
LITERALLY.
SEE, LAST NIGHT, THERE WAS
THIS SKATING PARTY FOR BARNES.
YOU TOLD ME TO
SPEND THAT... ALAN.
I'M NOT THAT STUPID.
AND YOU'RE SURELY
NOT THAT SMART.
NOW, DON'T LIE TO ME, BOY.
YOU WANT THE TRUTH?
I'LL GIVE IT TO YOU.
LUCY AND I HAVE BEEN SPENDING
A LOT OF TIME TOGETHER.
AND WE'RE VERY MUCH IN LOVE.
IN LOVE?
WHY NOT? SHE'S PRETTY,
AND INTELLIGENT, AND NICE.
AND RICH, DON'T FORGET RICH.
HER MONEY DOESN'T MATTER, J.R.,
AND NEITHER DOES
YOURS. I MEAN IT, J.R.
I LOVE HER. AND I'M
GONNA MARRY HER.
AND YOU CAN'T BUY ME
OFF, SO DON'T EVEN TRY.
BUY YOU OFF?
THAT'S RIGHT.
I'M NOT FOR SALE...
NO MATTER HOW MUCH YOU OFFER.
WELL, I WOULDN'T DREAM
OF BUYING YOU OFF.
YOU WOULDN'T?
WELL, OF COURSE NOT.
IT DOES MY HEART GOOD TO SEE THAT
LUCY HAS FINALLY FOUND HERSELF A REAL MAN.
YOU MEAN, YOU DON'T MIND?
WELL, I'M TICKLED PINK.
I'LL TELL YOU WHAT I'M GONNA DO.
I'M GONNA SET YOU UP IN YOUR OWN
LAW PRACTICE THE DAY YOU GET MARRIED.
KIND OF A LITTLE
WEDDIN' PRESENT.
ARE YOU SERIOUS?
NOW, WHAT DO YOU THINK
IT'D COST TO SET YOU UP RIGHT?
ABOUT 250,000,
SOMETHIN' LIKE THAT?
WELL, IF YOU REALLY WANT
TO DO IT UP RIGHT, DOUBLE IT.
ALAN, YOU'RE A MAN
AFTER MY OWN HEART.
YES, SIR, A HALF A MILLION
DOLLARS OUGHT TO SET YOU UP
IN THE NICEST NEW
LAW OFFICE IN CHICAGO.
CHICAGO?
CHICAGO.
NOW, WAIT A
MINUTE. I LIKE DALLAS.
ALAN, LISTEN TO ME.
AND LISTEN REAL GOOD.
LUCY'S INHERITANCE AND HER
TRUST ARE ALREADY SET UP.
THEY ARE IRREVOCABLE.
SO IT SHOULDN'T MAKE
ANY DIFFERENCE TO YOU
WHETHER YOU LIVE
IN CHICAGO OR DALLAS.
BUT IT MAKES A GREAT
DEAL OF DIFFERENCE TO ME.
I DON'T UNDERSTAND.
ALL RIGHT.
LUCY IS HER FATHER'S
ONLY TIE TO SOUTHFORK.
AND WITH HER GONE, HE WON'T FEEL
IT NECESSARY TO COME BACK IN HERE
AND MUSCLE IN ON MY ACTION.
BUT IF SHE STAYS, I'M GONNA MAKE
CERTAIN THAT YOU NEVER SEE HER AGAIN.
NOW, YOU UNDERSTAND THAT?
PERFECTLY.
AH, I'M LOOKIN' FORWARD TO
HAVIN' YOU FOR A NEPHEW-IN-LAW.
IN CHICAGO.
YOU'RE A DOLL.
YOU CAN'T SLEEP, EITHER?
NO.
ANYTHING I CAN DO?
NO.
PAM, WHAT IS IT?
I'M SORRY.
I GUESS I'M STILL
JUST A LITTLE JUMPY.
ARE YOU SURE THAT'S ALL IT IS?
BOBBY, DON'T.
PAMELA, WHAT IS IT?
EVERY TIME I TOUCH
YOU, YOU TURN ICE COLD.
NOW, TELL ME WHAT IT IS.
I DON'T KNOW.
I'M SORRY. I DON'T KNOW.
ALAN, I CAN'T.
I'M LATE ALREADY.
LUCY, WHY DON'T YOU STAY?
AW, I'D LOVE TO.
OH, IT'LL BE GREAT.
WE'LL WAKE UP TOGETHER.
YOU'LL MAKE BREAKFAST.
ALAN, I CAN'T.
YOU KNOW THAT.
OK, I'LL MAKE BREAKFAST.
LUCY, LISTEN TO ME.
I'M TIRED OF ALL THIS HIDING.
AND I'M TIRED OF
YOU LEAVING HERE
IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT.
WELL, I'M NOT
EXACTLY WILD ABOUT IT.
THEN LET'S GET MARRIED.
WHAT?
I SAID I WANT TO MARRY YOU.
I LOVE YOU. I WANT
YOU TO BE MY WIFE.
MARRIED?
WHY NOT?
DON'T YOU LOVE ME?
OF COURSE I LOVE YOU.
I THINK YOU'RE TERRIFIC.
OK, LET'S TELL YOUR
FOLKS AND SET A DATE.
I CAN'T.
WHY?
PEOPLE ARE GETTING
MARRIED AGAIN.
THE THING TO DO WHEN TWO
PEOPLE LOVE EACH OTHER.
IT'S JUST...
ALAN, I CAN'T BE
RUSHED INTO MARRIAGE.
I NEED TIME.
HOW MUCH TIME DO YOU NEED?
I DON'T KNOW.
ALAN, WE'VE BEEN
SNEAKING AROUND.
MY FAMILY DOESN'T EVEN
KNOW I'VE BEEN SEEING YOU.
WE CAN'T JUST GET MARRIED.
LUCY... LOOK, I REALLY
HAVE TO GO NOW.
CAN WE PLEASE TALK
ABOUT IT TOMORROW?
YOU MAKE IT SOUND
LIKE A DINNER DATE.
I'M SORRY.
I DIDN'T MEAN TO.
IT'S JUST I REALLY HAVEN'T
THOUGHT ABOUT MARRIAGE AT ALL.
OK.
WE'LL TALK ABOUT IT TOMORROW.
GOOD NIGHT.
GOOD NIGHT.
[KNOCK ON DOOR]
J.R.
ALAN.
YEAH, BOY, I'LL TELL YOU,
THIS BETTER BE IMPORTANT ENOUGH
FOR YOU TO DRAG ME
ALL THE WAY OUT HERE.
WELL, I KNOW HOW BUSY YOU ARE.
YEAH.
WELL, YOU GOT A NICE
LITTLE PLACE HERE.
I ASSUME YOU'LL DO
BETTER IN CHICAGO.
I NEED YOUR ADVICE.
ANYTHING I CAN DO TO HELP.
WELL, I'M AFRAID IT'S
GONNA TAKE A LITTLE LONGER
GETTING LUCY TO MARRY
ME THAN I THOUGHT.
WHAT'S THE PROBLEM?
I DON'T KNOW.
SHE SAYS SHE NEEDS MORE TIME.
WELL, YOU DO HAVE A PROBLEM.
INDEED, YOU DO.
WHEN YOU SHOOT
DOWN CLIFF BARNES,
YOU'RE GONNA BE
OUT OF THE SPOTLIGHT.
AND IF YOU LOSE THAT, YOU
JUST MIGHT LOSE LITTLE LUCY.
WELL, WHAT CAN I DO?
IF I PUSH ANY HARDER,
I'LL SCARE HER OFF.
WELL, SHE'S A EWING.
WE ALWAYS SEEM TO
WANT THINGS WE CAN'T GET.
YOU TELL HER THAT EVERYTHING'S
OFF BETWEEN THE TWO OF YOU,
AND LET ME HANDLE THE REST.
YOU SURE IT'LL WORK?
ALLOW ME TO BE THE
FIRST TO TOAST THE GROOM.
HE'S NOT IN.
Woman: BUT J.R. TOLD ME
TO CALL HIM THIS AFTERNOON.
AND SO YOU HAVE.
ARE YOU POSITIVE HE ISN'T THERE?
OF COURSE I'M POSITIVE.
I'VE TOLD YOU 3
TIMES, HE'S NOT IN.
CONNIE.
HI.
ONE MOMENT, PLEASE.
MESSAGES?
THANK YOU.
I'M SURE HE'LL BE BACK, BUT
HE DOES TAKE LONG LUNCHES.
WHY DON'T YOU TRY AGAIN,
SAY, IN ABOUT 6 WEEKS?
[HANGS UP]
J.R., WHAT ARE YOU DOING?
WELL, I WAS JUST GOIN'
OVER THESE MESSAGES HERE.
THAT ISN'T WHAT I MEAN.
TELL ME WHAT YOU GOT IN MIND, I GOT
A LOT OF WORK TO DO, SWEETHEART.
WHY HAVEN'T YOU DONE ANYTHING
ABOUT ALAN BEAM AND LUCY?
WHY? DO YOU CARE?
LOOK, I KNOW HOW YOU
FEEL ABOUT YOUR FAMILY.
AND I'M SURE THAT HE'S
ONLY AFTER LUCY'S MONEY.
WELL, ALAN'S A HARD WORKER.
YOU MIGHT BE DOIN'
HIM A DISSERVICE.
I DON'T THINK SO.
AND I CERTAINLY DON'T
SEE HIM AT SOUTHFORK.
OH, HE WON'T BE AT SOUTHFORK.
NO WAY.
OH, YES, I KNOW. I PLACED
THE ORDER MYSELF.
I'M AFRAID WE'RE GONNA HAVE
TO CANCEL BARNES' RADIO SPOTS.
[KNOCK ON DOOR]
WELL, BELIEVE ME, NO ONE'S
MORE UPSET ABOUT IT THAN I AM.
I'VE HAD TO CANCEL THE TV SPOTS,
KNOCK OUT OUR PRINT COVERAGE.
WE'VE RUN OUT OF MONEY, AND
THERE'S NOTHING I CAN DO ABOUT IT.
[KNOCK ON DOOR]
RIGHT.
RIGHT.
THANKS, BILL.
LUCY.
HI.
SORRY, I DIDN'T MEAN
TO KEEP YOU WAITING.
I WAS ON THE PHONE.
THAT'S OK.
WHAT CAN I DO FOR YOU?
WELL, WE HAVE THAT DINNER
DATE TONIGHT, REMEMBER?
AND I DIDN'T THINK YOU'D MIND
IF I CAME JUST A LITTLE BIT EARLY.
LUCY, I THINK YOU SHOULD
GO HOME FOR DINNER.
ARE YOU STILL MAD AT
ME ABOUT LAST NIGHT?
I'M NOT MAD.
AND I'M NOT TRYING TO GET EVEN.
THEN WHAT IS IT?
I LOVE YOU.
WELL, THEN, THAT SETTLES IT.
WHERE WE GONNA EAT?
YOU'RE GOING HOME.
IT ISN'T JUST FOR DINNER.
AND IT ISN'T JUST FOR TONIGHT.
WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?
LUCY, WHAT'S THE POINT?
I MEAN, OF US DATING
LIKE A COUPLE OF KIDS.
WHAT DO WE DO NEXT? GO STEADY?
THAT ISN'T FUNNY.
NO, IT ISN'T. I'M SORRY.
I DIDN'T MEAN FOR
THIS TO GET NASTY.
BUT IF WE'RE NOT
GONNA GET MARRIED,
I SEE NO REASON FOR US
TO KEEP SEEING EACH OTHER.
I NEVER SAID I WASN'T
GONNA MARRY YOU.
I JUST SAID I WASN'T SURE YET.
I AM.
I TOLD YOU, I JUST
NEED MORE TIME.
PLEASE?
I CAN'T DO IT, LUCY.
YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND.
I LOVE YOU TOO MUCH.
IT HURTS ME TO SPEND
AN EVENING WITH YOU
AND THEN HAVE TO SLEEP ALONE.
I WANT ALL OF YOU.
BUT WE SLEEP TOGETHER.
I'M NOT TALKING ABOUT SEX.
I'M TALKING ABOUT SHARING OUR
LIVES, WHICH WE ARE NOT DOING.
AND I CAN'T TAKE IT ANYMORE.
I DON'T UNDERSTAND.
YOU REALLY DON'T WANT
TO SEE ME ANYMORE?
THAT'S RIGHT.
I DON'T WANT TO BE HURT ANY
MORE THAN I AM RIGHT NOW.
IT'LL WORK OUT, ALAN. I PROMISE.
LUCY...
THAT'S A PROMISE
YOU JUST CAN'T KEEP.
GOOD-BYE, LUCY.
Jock: WHERE'S, UH,
PAM TONIGHT, BOBBY?
SHE'S AT WORK, DADDY.
SHE'S BEEN PUTTING
IN LONG HOURS.
IT'S JUST SOMETHING SHE
FEELS SHE HAS TO DO, THAT'S ALL.
HELLO, EVERYBODY.
WELL, IT'S NICE TO HAVE YOU
HOME FOR DINNER FOR A CHANGE.
I JUST THOUGHT I'D LIKE TO SPEND
SOME MORE TIME WITH THE FAMILY.
WELL, EVENING, EVERYONE.
J.R.
WHERE'S SUE ELLEN?
SHE'S WITH THE BABY.
THAT'S NICE.
I HAVE SOME RATHER
DISQUIETING NEWS.
I'D LIKE YOU ALL TO TAKE A LOOK AT
WHAT WAS DELIVERED TO MY OFFICE TODAY.
ISN'T THIS, UH, ALAN
BEAM WITH LUCY?
J.R.: THAT'S RIGHT.
THE YOUNG LAWYER?
YES, MA'AM.
LUCY, WHAT DO YOU HAVE
TO SAY FOR YOURSELF?
NOTHING.
THERE'S NOTHING TO SAY.
HAVE YOU OR HAVEN'T YOU BEEN SNEAKIN'
OUT OF THIS HOUSE TO SEE THAT MAN?
I HAVE.
AND ALL THOSE NIGHTS YOU SAID
YOU WERE STUDYING WITH MURIEL,
YOU WERE WITH HIM, WEREN'T YOU?
MOST OF THEM.
IS THAT RIGHT, LUCY?
YOU KNOW I DON'T
LIKE YOU TO LIE.
YOU DON'T HAVE TO SNEAK
AROUND US, YOU KNOW THAT.
THE HELL SHE DOESN'T.
IF SHE'S GONNA BE WITH THAT
WORTHLESS, GOLD-DIGGIN' OPPORTUNIST,
SHE BETTER BE SNEAKIN' AROUND.
I KNEW HOW YOU'D FEEL, J.R.
AND THAT'S WHY I KEPT
MY PRIVATE LIFE PRIVATE.
YOU JUST HATE HIM 'CAUSE
HE WORKS FOR CLIFF BARNES.
I DESPISE HIM 'CAUSE I KNOW HIM.
HE'S A PENNILESS,
RUTHLESS SOCIAL CLIMBER.
HE'S NO GOOD. ROTTEN.
BOBBY...
FRANKLY, I THINK
YOU COULD DO BETTER.
I FORBID YOU TO
EVER SEE HIM AGAIN.
WHAT?
YOU HEARD ME.
NO, I COULDN'T HAVE.
I THOUGHT YOU WERE TRYIN'
TO TELL ME WHO I COULD DATE.
RIGHT. WRONG.
YOU WILL NEVER SEE HIM AGAIN.
I WILL SEE WHOEVER
I WANT TO SEE.
NOT ALAN BEAM YOU WON'T.
NOT ONLY WILL I CONTINUE
TO GO OUT WITH ALAN BEAM,
BUT HE'S ASKED ME TO MARRY HIM.
AND I'D LIKE TO TAKE
THIS OPPORTUNITY
TO INVITE YOU ALL TO A WEDDING.
WEDDING?
HEH. WELL, SHE GOT TO BE JOKING.
I HOPE SO.
I CAN'T BELIEVE SHE MEANS IT.
SHE'S NEVER EVEN
MENTIONED HIS NAME.
OF COURSE NOT. SHE
KNEW HOW WE'D FEEL.
I'M GONNA STRAIGHTEN THAT
GIRL OUT ONCE AND FOR ALL.
LET HER BE, J.R.
LET HER BE?
SHE'S A GROWN WOMAN.
SHE HAS TO WORK
IT OUT FOR HERSELF.
MAMA, I AM TRYIN' TO
SAVE HER FROM DISASTER.
SHE'S NOT A FOOL, J.R.
IF ALAN BEAM IS WRONG FOR HER,
IT'S FOR HER TO DECIDE, NOT YOU.
I'M ONLY THINKIN' OF LUCY, MAMA.
STAY OUT OF IT, J.R.
YOU HEAR?
ALL RIGHT.
I'LL STAY OUT OF IT.
MIND MY OWN BUSINESS.
IF THAT'S THE WAY YOU WANT IT.
Jock: THAT'S THE WAY I WANT IT.
WELL, THAT'S THE
WAY IT'S GONNA BE.
