Dallas (1978–1991): Season 3, Episode 5 - The Kristin Affair - full transcript

THANK YOU, J.R.

WELL, LOOKING VERY
FETCHING THIS MORNING.

SLEEP WELL?

OH, YES. I JUST LOVE
SPENDING THE NIGHT HERE.

IT MAKES ME FEEL MORE
LIKE ONE OF THE FAMILY.

YOU ARE PART OF THE FAMILY.

WE CAN SWING WHATEVER YOU NEED

FOR THAT ASIAN
OFFSHORE DRILLING DEAL.

OH, THERE'S JUST
ONE OTHER THING.

IT'S A FORMALITY, REALLY.

YEAH?



YOU'RE GONNA HAVE TO PUT
UP SOUTHFORK AS A SECURITY.

DONE.

I'M NOT LOOKING FOR
A ONE-NIGHT STAND, J.R.

I HOPE YOU'RE NOT EXPECTING

ANY PROMISES FROM ME.

I NEED A LITTLE TIME TO THINK.

I'M NOT EXACTLY A PATIENT MAN.

Ellie: MORE, J.R.?

MA'AM?

I SAID, MORE JUICE, J.R.?

OH, NO, THANKS, MAMA.

I'M JUST FINE, JUST FINE.

HERE. HERE'S A TOWEL
FOR YOU, KRISTIN.

THANK YOU, J.R.



WELL, LOOKING VERY
FETCHING THIS MORNING.

SLEEP WELL?

OH, YES. I JUST LOVE
SPENDING THE NIGHT HERE.

MAKES ME FEEL MORE
LIKE ONE OF THE FAMILY.

YOU ARE PART OF THE FAMILY.

MAMA'S GONNA BE SO JEALOUS

WHEN I TELL HER WHAT A
GOOD TIME I'VE HAD HERE.

SHE'LL BE SORRY SHE SPENT
HER LAST NIGHT IN DALLAS

AT THE APARTMENT.

WELL, I SUPPOSE SHE'S
GOT A LOT OF PACKING

TO DO BEFORE HER EUROPEAN TRIP.

I GUESS YOU HAVE SOME
PACKING TO DO, TOO.

WE'RE ALL GONNA MISS YOU

WHEN YOU GO BACK TO SANTA FE.

THANK YOU, J.R.

HAVE A NICE DAY.

SUE ELLEN?

PRETTY HOT OUT HERE.

MAYBE WE OUGHT
TO GO BACK UPSTAIRS.

OH?

YEAH, IT'S EARLY YET.

WE GOT PLENTY OF TIME

BEFORE I HAVE TO GO TO WORK.

I LOVE YOUR SUDDEN URGES, J.R.

THEY'RE ALMOST AS ROMANTIC
AS YOUR DADDY'S PIT BULL.

GOOD MORNING, CONNIE.

GOOD MORNING.

J.R.: GOOD MORNING, UH...

J.R., THESE WERE ON THE SERVICE.

AND WADE LUCE CALLED.
HE'S ON HIS WAY OVER.

OH. WHERE IS LOUELLA?

YOU SAID SHE COULD
HAVE THE DAY OFF TO SHOP.

OH, YEAH, YEAH.

SHE PICK OUT HER
SILVER PATTERN YET?

MM-HMM.

BRIDES STILL LIKE
SILVER, DON'T THEY?

OH, YES.

ALL RIGHT. SEE WHAT YOU CAN FIND

TO MATCH IT UP, AND CHARGE IT

TO THE EWING COMPANY, OK?

MM-HMM.

UH-OH. DON'T NEED THIS TODAY.

DAMN.

[INTERCOM BUZZES]

YEAH?

MR. JORDAN LEE IS HERE.

SEND HIM IN.

YES, SIR.

GOOD MORNING, JORDAN.

SORRY TO CRASH
IN LIKE THIS, J.R.

HAVE YOU SEEN
THAT O.L.M. THING YET?

THAT BARNES IS OUT OF HIS MIND.

YEAH, I'M JUST
GETTING INTO IT NOW.

WE CAN'T MEET THOSE
EMISSIONS STANDARDS

IN THE KILGORE FIELD.

WELL... HE'S JUST
TRYING TO KEEP US OUT!

HE'S DONE A PRETTY GOOD JOB.

WELL, I DON'T KNOW
ABOUT YOU, J.R.,

BUT I CAN'T AFFORD
TO FIGHT THE O.L.M.

5 YEARS IN COURT ON THIS ONE.

WELL, WE DON'T HAVE
ANY CHOICE BUT TO FIGHT,

WHATEVER WAY WE CAN.

WELL, I'M SORRY, J.R.,

BUT IF THAT'S THE
BEST YOU GOT, I'M OUT.

AND YOU'LL FIND
THAT GOES FOR LUCE

AND THE REST OF THE
BOYS IN THE CARTEL, TOO.

WE GOT TO HAVE THAT NEW OIL.

NOW, MAYBE WE'RE GONNA
HAVE TO FORM A NEW CARTEL

WITHOUT YOU, J.R.
THAT'S THE ONLY WAY

THE O.L.M. WILL LEAVE US ALONE.

CONNIE?

YES, SIR?

WOULD YOU ASK BOBBY TO
STEP IN HERE A MINUTE, PLEASE?

YES, SIR.

HEY, NOW, DON'T
DO ANYTHING HASTY.

I DON'T THINK YOU'RE GONNA PULL

ANY MORE RABBITS
OUT OF A HAT, J.R.

BARNES HAS GOT YOU BOXED IN.

WELL, WAIT A MINUTE, NOW,

DON'T SELL OLD J.R. SHORT.

JORDAN? HEH HEH.

BOBBY, YOU HAVE GOT TO PUT MORE

PRESSURE ON DOWN IN AUSTIN.

THOSE SENATORS ARE

SIMPLY NOT MOVING THAT
COMMITTEE FAST ENOUGH.

J.R., THEY'RE MOVING AS
FAST AS THEY POSSIBLY CAN.

WELL, MAYBE IF YOU HAD
SPENT A LITTLE MORE TIME

DOWN AT THE STATE CAPITOL,

YOU COULD LIGHT
A FIRE UNDER THEM.

I HAVE WORK TO DO HERE.

BESIDES THAT, I
HAVE A RANCH TO RUN.

THE ONLY IMPORTANT THING
TO ME IS GETTING BARNES

OUT OF THE O.L.M.

WE'RE TALKING ABOUT
OUR FAMILY BUSINESS.

YOU KNOW, YOU USED TO BE HAPPY

I WAS OUT OF THE
FAMILY BUSINESS.

ARE YOU GONNA LET
BARNES WRECK EVERYTHING

DADDY HAS BUILT UP? ARE
YOU GONNA LET HIM DOWN?

YOU KNOW, THEY WAY
YOU'RE PRESSURING ME, J.R.,

IT'S LIKE YOU'RE TRYING
TO GET ME OUT OF THE WAY.

I JUST WANT YOU TO
PRESSURE THOSE SENATORS,

THAT'S ALL.

[WHISTLING]

[KIDS SHOUTING]

J.R.: HEY, BOYS. MIGHTY HOT
OUT HERE TODAY, ISN'T IT?

WHY DON'T YOU ALL GO OUT AND
BUY YOURSELF SOME ICE CREAM?

WHAT DO YOU SAY, HUH? HUH?

HA. NOW, COME ON. ONE'S ENOUGH.

YOU SPLIT THAT UP.

[KIDS TALKING EXCITEDLY]

ALAN.

HELLO, J.R.

HOW YOU DOING?

HOW, UH... HOW'S THE BARNES
FOR CONGRESS THING GOING?

ANY INTEREST?

WELL, WE'RE GETTING
SOME NIBBLES.

LOOKS GOOD.

YEAH? WELL, I THINK IT'S TIME

WE LIGHT A LITTLE FIRE
UNDER THAT PROJECT.

THAT MAN'S COST ME A FORTUNE.

WELL, IT TAKES TIME, J.R.

WE GOTTA CONVINCE BARNES

THERE'S SOMETHING REAL HERE,

WORTH HIS QUITTING THE O.L.M.

YOU'LL CONVINCE HIM, ALAN.

HE'LL THROW AWAY THE
O.L.M. LIKE A CANDY WRAPPER

IF HE THINKS THERE'S
ANY KIND OF A CHANCE

OF GETTING ELECTED.

WE GOT TO BE CAREFUL HERE, J.R.

WE DON'T WANT TO ACTUALLY ELECT

BARNES TO CONGRESS.

NOT IF YOU LIKE
PRACTICING LAW IN TEXAS.

WE'RE TREADING A
VERY THIN LINE HERE, J.R.

WELL, FIRST THING MY
DAD TAUGHT ME WAS

THE ONLY WAY TO A
POLITICIAN'S HEART...

THAT'LL TAKE CARE OF
A LOT OF PUBLIC RALLIES.

YEAH.

WELL, I DON'T CARE
IF YOU PUT ON A BALL

OR STAGE A CIRCUS. YOU DO
WHATEVER YOU WANT TO DO.

JUST GET THOSE CROWDS IN,

AND I WANT YOU TO
PAY EVERYTHING IN CASH.

YES, SIR. IN CASH. I UNDERSTAND.

NO TRAIL.

AND DON'T GO ON
ANY FUNDRAISING KICK.

I WANT YOU TO USE STRICTLY
EWING MONEY, YOU UNDERSTAND?

YES, SIR.

AND THAT WAY, WHEN HE RESIGNS

AND WE YANK THE MONEY,
THERE JUST WON'T BE ANY MORE.

AND HIS CAMPAIGN WILL ONLY HAVE

ONE DIRECTION TO GO IN...

DOWN THE DRAIN
WITH CLIFF BARNES.

NO CONGRESSIONAL
OFFICE, NO O.L.M., NO POWER.

HELL, NO NOTHING.

HEH HEH. WORK ON IT, ALAN.

YOU BET.

Patricia: AND
LANNIE'S SO EXCITED

ABOUT OUR TOUR OF
EUROPE. HE'S LIKE A LITTLE KID.

Ellie: WELL, I ENVY YOU.

IT'S BEEN A LONG TIME

SINCE JOCK AND I
HAVE HAD A TRIP.

WELL, I TELL YOU, MISS
ELLIE, JUST AS SOON

AS WE GET RID OF SOME OF
THESE BUSINESS PROBLEMS,

WE'RE LIABLE TO TAKE A VACATION.

THERE'S SO MUCH LANNIE
AND I HAVE TO SHARE...

MUSIC, ART, BALLET.

THIS MARCOURT FELLA,

HE MUST BE SOME KIND OF MAN.

OHH. OH, YES, HE IS.

WE'RE STRONGLY
ATTRACTED TO EACH OTHER...

SPIRITUALLY, I MEAN.

WELL, I'M SO GLAD

IT ISN'T PHYSICAL OR ANYTHING.

LUCY.

WELL, I BET MRS.
SHEPHARD'S GLAD.

AREN'T YOU GLAD, MRS. SHEPHARD?

YES, LUCY.

OH, I WISH KRISTIN
COULD COME WITH US,

BUT, OF COURSE, SHE
HAS HER OWN PLANS.

I'M REALLY GONNA MISS DALLAS.

I HONESTLY DON'T WANT
TO GO BACK TO SANTA FE.

WELL, I THINK YOU
PROBABLY SHOULD.

ALL YOUR FRIENDS ARE THERE.

YOU MUST WANT TO SAY
GOOD-BYE TO EVERYBODY

BEFORE YOU GO TO CALIFORNIA.

U.S.C. ARCHITECTURAL SCHOOL,

THAT'S REALLY EXCITING, KRISTIN.

BUT I FEEL AS IF I'M...
MISSING SOMETHING.

MAYBE I'M RUSHING INTO
THIS ARCHITECTURE THING

TOO FAST.

THE ANSWER TO MY DREAMS IS

TO HAVE KRISTIN
MARRY THE RIGHT MAN.

OH, I'M SURE SHE WILL, PATRICIA.

I'D EVEN SETTLE FOR A
JOB UNTIL NEXT TERM.

A JOB, REALLY?

WELL, MAYBE WE COULD
WORK SOMETHING OUT.

SAY, BOB, MAYBE
SHE COULD FILL IN

FOR LOUELLA... ON
A TEMPORARY BASIS.

LOUELLA'S MY SECRETARY.

SHE'S GETTING MARRIED.

OH, YES.

JOCK MENTIONED IT TO
KRISTIN AND ME EARLIER.

WELL, I IMAGINE KRISTIN
WOULD FIND OFFICE WORK

A LITTLE BORING.

OH, NO. FROM WHAT I'VE HEARD,

EWING OIL SOUNDS FASCINATING.

J.R.: WELL, LET'S GIVE IT
A TRY. WHAT DO YOU SAY?

OH, I'D LOVE THAT.

WELL, HOW ABOUT YOU, PATRICIA?

YOU THINK IT'S A GOOD IDEA?

WELL, IF THAT'S
WHAT KRISTIN WANTS,

BUT I HAVE GIVEN
UP THE APARTMENT.

WELL, I DON'T THINK KRISTIN
WOULD BE TOO HAPPY

HERE ON SOUTHFORK. IT'S
MUCH TOO ISOLATED FOR HER.

OH, I WOULDN'T
THINK OF IMPOSING.

WELL, I WOULDN'T
WORRY ABOUT THAT.

I THINK EWING OIL
CAN FIND A PLACE

YOU'D BE COMFORTABLE IN.

UM... WHAT ABOUT THE
OAKSIDE CONDO, DAD?

THAT'S AVAILABLE, ISN'T IT?

LET'S SEE. THE OAKSIDE...
THE OAKSIDE CONDO...

YEAH, THAT'S AVAILABLE.

WELL, THEN, THERE YOU ARE.

YOU GOT YOUR OWN LITTLE
PLACE DOWN IN DALLAS.

Patricia: WELL, I DON'T KNOW.

SUE ELLEN, WHAT DO YOU THINK?

IS KRISTIN DOING
THE RIGHT THING?

I THINK THAT KRISTIN
ALWAYS KNOWS

EXACTLY WHAT'S SHE DOING.

J.R.: WELL, THERE YOU GO.
YOU START WORK TOMORROW.

[CHUCKLES]

OHH. J.R.'s SUCH A FINE MAN.

THE WAY HE STANDS
BEHIND SUE ELLEN.

THANK YOU.

LATELY, THAT HASN'T BEEN EASY.

KRISTIN, SOMEDAY YOU'LL
FIND A MAN LIKE THAT

JUST FOR YOURSELF.

I THINK THAT'S POSSIBLE, MAMA.

QUITE POSSIBLE.

NOW, I'M GOING TO
LEAVE TOMORROW.

YOU'LL BE ENTIRELY ON YOUR OWN.

I KNOW I CAN TRUST YOU

TO REMEMBER ALL THE THINGS

I'VE TAUGHT YOU... LIKE WATCHING

FOR THE RIGHT OPPORTUNITY.

MAMA, I REMEMBER

EVERYTHING YOU'VE TAUGHT ME.

SO, THEN, WHEREVER I AM,

I CAN BE RELAXED, KNOWING

THAT YOU'LL NEVER
DO ANYTHING TO HARM

YOUR SISTER.

I'M WORRIED ABOUT SUE ELLEN.

KEEP AN EYE ON HER, DEAR.

KEEP ME INFORMED.

I DON'T THINK SHE'S
BEEN SUCCEEDING

TOO WELL WITH J.R.

SUE ELLEN MAY BE

A LITTLE DEPRESSED RIGHT NOW.

THAT OFTEN HAPPENS
AFTER GIVING BIRTH,

BUT IF IT TURNS OUT

SHE'S NOT ENTIRELY
HAPPY WITH THE LIFE

J.R. HAS TO OFFER...

WELL, ABOVE ALL, WE WANT
SUE ELLEN TO BE HAPPY.

OF COURSE, DEAR.

WE COULD GIVE HER ALL THE LOVE

AND SUPPORT SHE'D NEED TO START

A NEW LIFE ELSEWHERE.

I'D CERTAINLY MISS HAVING

A SON-IN-LAW LIKE J.R.

[GIGGLES]

I'VE NEVER MET A MAN WHO ENJOYS

THE CHASE AS MUCH AS HE DOES,

ALMOST MORE THAN WINNING.

WHY DON'T YOU LET ME
WORRY ABOUT J.R. EWING?

WHATEVER YOU DO, KRIS,

IT'LL BE THE RIGHT
THING FOR ALL OF US.

YOU CAN TRUST ME, MAMA.
I WON'T LET YOU DOWN.

I KNOW YOU WON'T.

AND THERE IS ANOTHER
SHOT OF THE COVE, SEE?

ALL RIGHT, NOW, HERE IS
THE LONG, LONG WIDE BEACHES

I WAS TALKING ABOUT
TO ACCOMMODATE

OUR ON-SHORE BASES.
YOU GOT TO REMEMBER NOW,

THERE'S NO OFF-SHORE WINDS HERE.

VERY, VERY SMOOTH SEA.

VERY TRANQUIL MOST OF THE YEAR.

THERE YOU GO.
LADIES AND GENTLEMEN,

JUST AS FAR AS YOU CAN SEE.

OURS FOR THE PICKING.

[J.R. CHUCKLES]

GENTLEMEN, THAT'S IT.

THAT IS WHERE WE
GOT TO BE DRILLING.

IT'S BETTER THAN WE
EVER HAD IN TEXAS.

SOUTHEAST ASIA.

IT'S GONNA BE
BIGGER THAN MEXICO.

I'M DOING YOU A FAVOR
LETTING YOU IN ON IT.

EASY TO UNDERSTAND
YOU WANT TO SPREAD

THE RISK, J.R.

I'D DO THE SAME THING.

THERE'S NO RISK.
YOU WAIT TILL YOU SEE

THE GEOLOGICAL REPORTS,

AND AS YOU WELL KNOW,

ALL MY INSTINCTS ARE
ALWAYS INFALLIBLE.

J.R., LET'S LAY IT ON THE LINE.

THE REST OF US
ARE DOING JUST FINE

RIGHT HERE IN OUR OWN BACKYARD.

WE DON'T HAVE ANY
PROBLEMS WITH THE O.L.M.,

EXCEPT WHEN WE GET
TOO CLOSE TO THE EWING OIL

AND THE ROOF SEEMS
TO FALL IN ON US.

I TELL YOU, THE PROFITS
ARE GONNA BE FANTASTIC.

LET'S PUT IT ANOTHER WAY, J.R.

WE'RE ACTUALLY DOING YOU A FAVOR

BY NOT GOING IN.

EWING OIL GETS TO KEEP IT ALL.

IF YOU CAN FIND THAT
KIND OF FINANCING.

AND BESIDES, UNLIKE EWING OIL,

WE'RE STILL GETTING TOP DOLLAR

FOR OUR OUTPUT, J.R.
THERE IS SUCH A THING

AS HAVING TOO MUCH OIL

AND KILLING OFF
THE GOLDEN GOOSE.

[CHUCKLES SOFTLY]

WELL, I GUESS THAT LITTLE
CELEBRATION I'D PLANNED

IS GONNA BE CONDOLENCES INSTEAD.

YOU BOYS ARE GETTING
MIGHTY CONSERVATIVE.

YOU WOULDN'T KNOW A BONANZA
IF IT WAS UNDER YOUR NOSES.

MR. BRADLEY.

GUILTY AS CHARGED.

MR. LEE.

JUST WHAT I LIKE.

MR. LUCE.

I SURE AM, HONEY. HA HA!

YOU SAID IT. I DIDN'T.

SHE'S FAST, TOO. HA HA!

WHAT'S YOUR NAME, DARLIN'?

KRISTIN.

HERE'S TO YOU,
J.R. THEY NEVER SAY

YOU'RE ALL WORK AND NO PLAY.

I'LL DRINK TO THAT.

BOYS, BOYS, WHERE
ARE YOUR MINDS?

THAT HAPPENS TO BE
MY WIFE'S LITTLE SISTER.

WELL, YOU WON'T MIND

IF SHE COMES TO WORK FOR ME.

THAT'S BETTER THAN
TRYING TO DRILL FOR OIL

IN SOME ASIAN OCEAN.

[LAUGHTER]

Bradley: I GUESS.

BOBBY, YOU GONNA
BE HOME FOR DINNER?

NO, MAMA. I'M
PROBABLY GONNA TAKE

THE 5:30 BACK FROM AUSTIN,

BUT I WOULDN'T WAIT DINNER.

MY SCHEDULE IS NOT THAT CERTAIN.

ISN'T THIS SOMETHING
J.R. CAN HANDLE?

SEEMS TO ME YOU'VE
GOT PLENTY OF WORK

RIGHT HERE AT SOUTHFORK.

WELL, MAMA, I DON'T THINK

J.R. WANTS TO ADMIT
IT, BUT HE'S SCARED.

CLIFF BARNES IS PUTTING
THE SCREWS TO HIM

PRETTY GOOD RIGHT NOW.

EWING OIL IS A FAMILY BUSINESS.

I WANT TO HELP OUT
WHATEVER WAY I CAN.

[TELEPHONE RINGS]

HELLO?

MRS. PAMELA EWING, PLEASE.

NO, SHE'S NOT HERE.

Woman: WELL, THIS
IS DR. CRAIN'S OFFICE.

WE JUST WANT TO
CONFIRM HER APPOINTMENT.

WELL, YOU COULD
FIND HER AT THE STORE.

SHE SHOULD BE THERE NOW.

OH, THANKS.

BYE.

THAT WAS PAM'S GYNECOLOGIST.

YOU DON'T THINK THAT, UH...

IF THERE'S ANY NEWS,

BOBBY, LET IT COME FROM PAM.

WELL, NOW, LIKE I SAID, LOYAL,

I'M STILL INTERESTED
IN THIS SITUATION.

VERY DEFINITELY INTERESTED.

BUT THE PEOPLE I
REPRESENT, J.R., NOW,

THEY'RE OF ANOTHER CULTURE.

THEY GET A LITTLE UNEASY

WHEN THEY SEE A GROUP
LIKE YOURS BREAK UP,

AND THEY WONDER WHY.

OH, YOU CAN UNDERSTAND, J.R.

JUST GET ON THE PHONE
AND TELL 'EM THAT EWING OIL

IS SO HIGH ON THEIR
COUNTRY AND THEIR PROSPECTS

THAT I'VE DECIDED
TO INVEST ALONE.

DID YOU SAY ALONE, J.R.?

YOU'RE NOT PUTTING TOGETHER

A NEW SYNDICATE?

LOYAL, YOU GETTING
HARD OF HEARING?

YOU HAVE ANY IDEA

HOW HIGH YOU'RE GONNA BID?

AS HIGH AS I HAVE TO.

FINANCIAL BACKING WILL
BE THERE WHEN I NEED IT.

ALL RIGHT, J.R.,

IF THAT'S THE WAY YOU WANT IT.

HEY, UH, LOYAL.

WE HAVEN'T FINISHED
OUR DISCUSSION YET.

YOU SEE, EWING OIL EXPECTS

TO BEAT OUT ALL COMPETITION.

IT EXPECTS TO PUT
IN THE HIGHEST BID.

NOW, JUST HOW HIGH IS THAT BID

GONNA HAVE TO BE?

OH, FOR HEAVEN'S SAKES,

J.R., NOW, THOSE BIDS ARE
SEALED. I WOULDN'T KNOW...

I'M NOT ASKING YOU
TO BREAK ANY LAWS,

BUT YOU ARE AN EXPERT.

NOW, JUST GIVE ME
YOUR BEST ADVICE.

I DON'T SUPPOSE I
HAVE TO POINT OUT

THAT IF EWING OIL
DOES WIN THESE LEASES,

ITS CONSULTANT WILL
BE PAID BY THE BARREL.

NOW, THAT'S MORE THAN ANYBODY'S

GONNA PAY YOU IN THIS BUSINESS.

I'M NOT SAYING I KNOW
ANYTHING I SHOULDN'T.

NO, NO, OF COURSE NOT.

BUT HERE'S MY OPINION...
STRICTLY AS YOUR CONSULTANT.

THE BIDDING HAS
BEEN FIERCE, J.R.

MY ADVICE IS TO TOP
THAT... BY A WIDE MARGIN.

WELL, THAT'S A TIDY LITTLE SUM.

[CHUCKLES]

HOO-WHEE! HA!

WELL, NOW, AS YOU KNOW,

THE CATTLEMAN'S HAS FINANCED

MOST OF EWING'S PROJECTS

EVER SINCE YOU TOOK OVER, J.R.,

AND WE'VE ALWAYS
BEEN MIGHTY PROUD

OF THAT ASSOCIATION.

THAT'S EITHER A
COMMENCEMENT ADDRESS

OR THE BEGINNINGS OF
A TURN-DOWN, VAUGHN.

WELL, SOUTHEAST ASIA'S

JUST NOT THE BANK'S FIELD

OF EXPERTISE, J.R.

I DON'T THINK THEY'LL GO FOR IT,

EVEN IF I APPROVED,
THE LOAN COMMITTEE

WOULD NEVER...

A LITTLE LATE IN THE DAY
FOR YOU TO TALK TO ME

LIKE AS A BANK EXAMINER.

NOW, TO ALL INTENTS
AND PURPOSES,

YOU ARE THE LOAN
COMMITTEE, VAUGHN.

YEAH, BUT YOU SAID
SETH AND THE OTHERS

WERE COMING IN
WITH YOU ON THIS NOW.

IF THEY DON'T, THIS COULD TAKE

EVERYTHING EWING'S GOT.

I NEVER THOUGHT I'D HEAR
WORDS OF DOUBT ABOUT EWING

COMING FROM THE LIPS OF A
FRIEND THAT WE HAVE FOSTERED

LIKE ONE OF OUR OWN,

ALL THE WAY UP FROM TELLER.

WELL, I'M SORRY, J.R.,
BUT THAT IS AN HONEST,

PROFESSIONAL EVALUATION.

WHEN I THINK OF THE WAY WE
HAVE PUSHED YOUR CAREER,

TO SAY NOTHING OF
YOUR PERSONAL WEALTH.

WELL, NOW, J.R.,
OUR PAST DEALINGS

HAVE ALWAYS BEEN CONFIDENTIAL.

ALWAYS HAVE BEEN.

ALL RIGHT. I'LL
SEE WHAT I CAN DO.

GOOD.

BUT I'M NOT PROMISING ANYTHING.

THAT'S ALL I WANT TO HEAR.

I KNOW YOU'RE GONNA
BUST YOUR BUTT, VAUGHN.

J.R., MAYBE BUSINESS
ISN'T ALL THAT GREAT

JUST AT THE MOMENT,
BUT WHY RISK THIS?

NO MATTER WHAT THE O.L.M. DOES,

EWING OIL CAN SURVIVE.

J.R.: SURVIVAL'S NOT ENOUGH.

NEVER HAS BEEN, NEVER WILL BE.

I INTEND TO BE THE BIGGEST,

MOST POWERFUL
INDEPENDENT IN TEXAS.

I DON'T EVEN WANT
TO TALK ABOUT IT.

ARE YOU REALLY
THAT ANGRY WITH ME?

YEAH, ANGRY, DISILLUSIONED,

DISAPPOINTED, ALL
THAT KIND OF STUFF.

YOU CALL ME DOWN HERE AND THEN

YOU LAY THIS THING ON ME.

CLIFF, THERE'S NO ONE ELSE
I CAN TALK TO ABOUT THIS.

I NEED MY BROTHER.

PAM, YOU'VE GOT YOUR BROTHER,

BUT YOU ALSO KNOW

WHAT YOUR BROTHER
THINKS ABOUT ABORTION.

I HATE IT.

I KNOW, BUT I'VE GONE ROUND
AND ROUND WITH THE THOUGHT

TILL I'M DIZZY.

I DON'T THINK I CAN
HANDLE HAVING A BABY

AND WATCHING IT
DIE 6 MONTHS LATER.

HAVE YOU SAID ANYTHING TO BOBBY

SINCE LAST WE TALKED?

NO.

YOU HAVEN'T BOTHERED TO TELL HIM

THAT YOU HAVE A GENETIC DISEASE,

A DISEASE THAT
COULD KILL HIS CHILD.

I TRIED, BUT THERE'S NEVER
BEEN A RIGHT MOMENT.

I SUGGEST STRONGLY

THAT YOU FIND THE RIGHT MOMENT.

WHY YOUR SUDDEN CONCERN
FOR BOBBY'S WELFARE?

WAIT A MINUTE, PAM.

DON'T GET DEFENSIVE.

YOU KNOW, WE'RE NOT
TALKING ABOUT POLITICS OR OIL,

WE'RE TALKING ABOUT A CHILD.

I KNOW.

I GUESS YOU'RE RIGHT, CLIFF.

I WANT THE BABY.

SOMETIMES I'M WILLING
TO TAKE THE RISK,

AND THEN SOMETIMES I'M NOT.

IT'S JUST A MESS.

I KNOW, BUT I CAN'T HELP YOU.

THAT'S A DECISION

THAT YOU AND BOBBY
HAVE TO MAKE TOGETHER.

I'LL TALK TO HIM.

I WILL, I WILL,

BUT YOU KNOW WHAT WOULD HELP?

IF EVERYBODY

WASN'T UNDER SO MUCH
PRESSURE FROM YOU.

THAT IS NOT GOING TO
CHANGE UNTIL I BREAK J.R.

BECAUSE THAT'S
HOW I GET MY CHILD,

AND IF WE'RE LUCKY,

HE'LL LIVE, AT LEAST LONG ENOUGH

TO FIND OUT WHO
HIS REAL FATHER IS.

J.R.

THANK YOU.

OH, I LOVE SOUTHFORK.

BEAUTIFUL.

IT HAS STRENGTH,
LIKE THE EWINGS.

YOU'RE A LADY THAT LIKES
STRENGTH, AREN'T YOU?

Kristin: YES.

WELL... I DIDN'T KNOW
ANYONE WAS OUT HERE.

OH, HI, DARLIN'.

I WAS JUST SHOWING
KRISTIN THE VIEW.

UH... NOW, COME
ON, YOU'RE ACTING

LIKE A SCHOOL GIRL.

I AM A SCHOOL GIRL.

YEAH, YOU ARE.

HI.

HI. HOW WAS AUSTIN?

HECTIC, BUT I'M MAKING PROGRESS.

OH, BY THE WAY,
DR. CRAIN'S OFFICE CALLED

JUST BEFORE I LEFT THIS MORNING.

IS ANYTHING WRONG?

NO.

WELL, THEN, IS ANYTHING RIGHT?

I SUPPOSE SO.

[PLACES BRIEFCASE ON GROUND]

PAMMY...

ARE YOU PREGNANT?

YEAH.

OH, MY GOD.

HA HA HA HA HA HA!

WELL, THEN WE HAVE TO CELEBRATE.

I DON'T CARE WHAT
TIME IT IS OR HOW LATE

WE HAVE TO SLEEP IN
THE MORNING. LET'S GO.

BOBBY, BOBBY, I'VE GOT TO
TALK TO YOU ABOUT SOMETHING,

AND DINNER'S ALMOST READY.

FORGET DINNER. WE'RE DINING OUT.

I KNEW SOMETHING WAS GOING ON

THE MOMENT DR. CRAIN
CALLED TODAY.

I COULDN'T KEEP MY MIND
ON MY WORK IN AUSTIN AT ALL.

NOW, I DON'T KNOW WHAT
PREGNANT WOMEN EAT,

BUT WE'RE GONNA FIND
SOMETHING FOR YOU.

AFTER YOU.

BOBBY, I'VE GOT TO TALK TO YOU.

I DON'T WANT TO USE
FORCE ON A PREGNANT LADY.

GET IN THE CAR.

PAMELA. WHAT'S TAKING SO LONG?

COME ON.

COME ON, HONEY, HURRY UP.

BOBBY, I WANT TO TALK TO YOU.

I WANTED TO TALK
TO YOU LAST NIGHT,

BUT YOU WERE SO
UP, AND THEN I WAS

JUST TOO TIRED WHEN
WE GOT HOME, BUT...

HONEY, THE ONLY
TALKING WE'VE GOT TO DO IS

TO TELL THE FAMILY
THE BIG NEWS. LET'S GO.

BOBBY.

HONEY, I DON'T WANT TO
MAKE THIS ANNOUNCEMENT

ALL BY MYSELF. NOW, COME ON.

COME ON.

Ellie: SUE ELLEN, MAYBE
YOU'D LIKE SOME TOAST.

NO, MISS ELLIE.
COFFEE'S JUST FINE.

YOU HARDLY TOUCHED
YOUR DINNER LAST NIGHT.

WELL, I'VE PUT ON A
COUPLE OF POUNDS,

AND I'M TRYING TO GET THEM OFF.

MAYBE YOU JUST NEED
TO EXERCISE, SUE ELLEN.

YOU OUGHT TO TAKE UP
TENNIS OR SOMETHING.

IF I NEED YOUR ADVICE,
LUCY, I'LL ASK FOR IT.

I WAS ONLY TRYING TO HELP.

Kristin: LUCY, IT'S ALL RIGHT.

SUE ELLEN'S BEEN
THROUGH A LOT LATELY.

TERRIFIC. NOW, I'VE
GOT THE TWO OF YOU

TO PUT UP WITH.

PLEASE, LUCY.

[BOBBY WHISTLING]

Bobby: GOOD MORNING, EVERYBODY.

Jock: BOBBY, PAM.

Lucy: GOOD MORNING, BOBBY.

I GOT A LITTLE NEWS FOR YOU ALL.

YEAH? Pamela: BOBBY.

HONEY, JUST LET ME
TELL IT, I'LL TELL IT.

Jock: COME ON. COME ON, BOBBY.
DON'T KEEP US IN SUSPENSE.

THERE'S GONNA BE ANOTHER
BABY ON SOUTHFORK.

PAM'S PREGNANT.

[COUGHING]

Lucy: OH, WOW.

Jock: HEY, CONGRATULATIONS,
OLD BUDDY.

Bobby: THANK YOU, DADDY.

Lucy: OH, PAM, YOU
MUST BE SO EXCITED.

Bobby: OH!

WELL, IT LOOKS
LIKE LITTLE JOHN'S

GONNA HAVE A PLAYMATE, J.R.

YEAH.

Jock: WELL, BOBBY,
WHAT DO YOU THINK

IT'S GONNA BE, A BOY OR A GIRL?

Bobby: IT DOESN'T
MATTER TO ME, DADDY.

Lucy: I BET GRANDPA
WANTS ANOTHER BOY.

Ellie: I'M SURE HE'LL LOVE
ANOTHER GRANDDAUGHTER

JUST AS MUCH...

WELL, J.R., THEY FINALLY GOT

WHAT THEY WANTED,
A REAL EWING HEIR.

BOBBY EWING JR.'s JUST FINE.

I WAS SO EXCITED ABOUT
EVERYTHING THIS MORNING,

I DIDN'T ASK YOU WHAT
YOU WANTED TO TALK ABOUT.

WELL, IT'S NOT
IMPORTANT NOW, BOBBY.

ALL RIGHT. SEE YOU TONIGHT.

GOOD-BYE!

SUE ELLEN.

ISN'T IT EXCITING ABOUT
PAM HAVING A BABY?

I GUESS SO.

IT DOESN'T MATTER TO YOU.

I'M HAPPY FOR THEM.

I MEAN, DON'T YOU
CARE ABOUT ANYTHING?

WHAT YOU SAW YESTERDAY,
J.R. AND ME, TOGETHER?

WAS THERE SOMETHING

YOU WANTED ME TO SEE, KRISTIN?

YOU KNOW, I DON'T KNOW

WHEN I LIKE YOU LESS, SUE ELLEN,

WHEN YOU'RE JUMPING ALL OVER ME

OR WHEN YOU JUST DON'T
GIVE A DAMN, LIKE NOW.

WHY ARE YOU SO CONCERNED
ABOUT THE WAY I FEEL?

YOU'RE GONNA DO EXACTLY
WHAT YOU WANT TO ANYWAY.

OH. HAVE A NICE DAY, DARLIN'.

WELL, READY TO GO TO WORK?

YES, J.R.

OH, YOUR APARTMENT'S ALL READY.

IT'S ALL CLEANED
UP, FRESHENED UP.

YOU'LL BE ABLE TO
TAKE A LOOK AT IT

TODAY AFTER WORK.

OH, J.R., YOU'RE THE
BEST BROTHER-IN-LAW.

[KISS]

J.R.: IS THAT THE
WAY YOU THINK OF ME,

AS YOUR BROTHER-IN-LAW?

THE WAY YOU WANT
ME TO THINK OF YOU?

WHY DON'T YOU WORK ON IT?

I'M SURE YOU'LL
COME UP WITH AN IDEA

THAT'LL BE INTERESTING
FOR BOTH OF US.

I'LL DO JUST THAT.

[CHUCKLES]

MAKE COPIES OF EACH OF THESE

AND SEND THEM TO THE SENATORS

AND CONGRESSMEN
ON MY "A" LIST...

ALL RIGHT. BY MESSENGER.

J.R.: HAD THE MONEY.
CONNIE. HI, BOBBY.

ANY MESSAGES?

YEAH. THERE YOU GO.

THANK YOU, THANK YOU.

BOB, CAN I TALK TO
YOU IN MY OFFICE?

Bobby: I'LL GIVE YOU A
MEMO ON THE REST OF THAT.

Connie: ALL RIGHT.

NO, J.R., I DON'T THINK
ANOTHER TRIP TO AUSTIN

IS NECESSARY.

I TALKED TO THOSE
BOYS YESTERDAY.

WELL, I THINK YOU OUGHT
TO STAY DOWN THERE A WHILE.

I MEAN, YOUR WIFE'S
GOT PLENTY OF THINGS

TO OCCUPY HER MIND, WHAT
WITH THE BABY COMING AND ALL.

J.R., WHAT ARE YOU
TALKING ABOUT?

IF YOU DON'T WANT TO FIGHT
CLIFF BARNES, JUST TELL ME.

JUST COME OUT AND SAY SO.

LOOK, I AM AS COMMITTED
AS YOU ARE TO GETTING

CLIFF BARNES OUT OF OFFICE,

BUT IT DOESN'T ENTAIL
A DAILY TRIP TO AUSTIN,

UNLESS YOU'RE TRYING
TO COVER UP SOMETHING

DOWN HERE, AND I'M
NOT TALKING ABOUT

YOUR CONSIDERABLE ATTENTION

TO YOUR WIFE'S SISTER.

ALL RIGHT, FINE, FINE. I'LL
TAKE CARE OF IT MYSELF.

I ALWAYS HAVE TO, ANYWAY.

THAT'S WHAT I'M AFRAID OF.

OH, J.R.

OH, IT'S LOVELY.

J.R., YOU SHOULDN'T HAVE.

YOU LIKE THE PLACE?

OH, YES, AND CAN I STAY
HERE AS LONG AS I WANT?

WELL, SURE, YOU CAN.

I'LL HAVE YOUR THINGS
SENT OVER TOMORROW.

I THINK YOU'LL FIND
EVERYTHING YOU NEED IN HERE.

WE ALWAYS HAVE A LOT
OF EXECUTIVES COMING IN

AND OUT OF HERE, KEEP
IT PRETTY WELL-STOCKED.

ALL THIS FOOD AND
WINE AND FLOWERS.

J.R., YOU'VE THOUGHT
OF EVERYTHING.

KIND OF COZY, ISN'T IT?

IT'S PERFECT. THANK YOU.

WANT TO SEE THE REST?

SURE.

EVENING DRESSES?

IN SEVERAL SIZES.

FOR CLIENTS, J.R.?

I ALWAYS LIKE TO
BE IN A POSITION

TO RETURN FAVORS.

AND JUST WHAT FAVORS
DO YOU EXPECT FROM ME?

I'M NOT LOOKING FOR
A ONE-NIGHT STAND, J.R.

I KNOW YOU'RE NOT.

ISN'T THAT WHAT THIS WOULD BE,

GIVE OR TAKE A NIGHT OR 2?

I HOPE YOU'RE NOT EXPECTING

ANY PROMISES FROM ME.

OH, NO, J.R. I WOULDN'T DO THAT.

NOT EVER.

GOOD.

I NEED A LITTLE TIME TO THINK.

CAN YOU UNDERSTAND THAT?

I'M NOT EXACTLY A PATIENT MAN.

I PROMISE I WON'T TAKE
FOREVER TO MAKE A DECISION.

KRISTIN, YOU JUST TAKE
ALL THE TIME YOU NEED.

WHEW.

IT'S BEEN A LONG, HARD DAY, J.R.

GET YOU A DRINK, VAUGHN?

YES. OH, YES!

BUT I GOT GOOD NEWS.

OH, YEAH?

GREAT NEWS. WE CAN
SWING WHATEVER YOU NEED

FOR THAT ASIAN
OFF-SHORE DRILLING DEAL.

IS THAT A FACT?

WELL, THAT PUTS YOU 2 OR
3 DAYS AHEAD OF THE PACE,

AS FAR AS I'M CONCERNED, VAUGHN.

HA HA HA. WELL, THERE'S
STILL SOME LOOSE ENDS.

WHAT WE DID WAS, YOU
SEE, WE PUT TOGETHER

3 OTHER BANKS, AND
WE'LL EACH HANDLE

A FOURTH OF THE PIE.

HOW MUCH ARE THE
BANKS WILLING TO GO FOR?

IN DOLLARS?

100 MILLION.

YOU COULD USE IT ALL,
AS FAR AS I CAN SEE,

AND ONCE THEY'RE
ON THE HOOK, J.R.,

I'M SURE YOU COULD SQUEEZE

A FEW EXTRA BUCKS OUT OF THEM,

SHOULD YOU NEED THEM.

VAUGHN, YOU JUSTIFIED THE FAITH

I'VE ALWAYS HAD IN YOU.

[CHUCKLES]

THERE'S JUST ONE MORE THING.

IT'S A FORMALITY, REALLY.

YEAH?

UNDER THE CIRCUMSTANCES
OF SPECIAL RISK...

NOW, COME ON. YOU'RE
QUOTING FAMILIAR FACTS.

NOW, WHAT IS IT?

WELL, NOW, J.R., THERE
ARE SOME RISKS INVOLVED.

THOSE WELLS DON'T COME IN,
WE COULD LOSE EVERYTHING.

WE'RE NOT GONNA LOSE
ANYTHING. WHAT'S THE FORMALITY?

J.R., YOU'RE GONNA HAVE
TO PUT UP SOUTHFORK

AS A SECURITY.

SOUTHFORK? WELL,
NOW, DON'T BE RIDICULOUS.

I CAN'T MORTGAGE SOUTHFORK.

WELL, SURE, YOU CAN.

IT'S PART OF EWING ENTERPRISES.

YOU'RE THE PRESIDENT.

YOU HAVE EVERY LEGAL RIGHTS.

WELL, I DON'T THINK
YOU'RE UNDERSTANDING

WHAT YOU'RE ASKING.
SOUTHFORK IS MY HOME.

I WAS BORN THERE. I'M SORRY.

NOT OPEN TO DISCUSSION.

IT'S THE OTHER BANKS.

THIS TIME MY HANDS ARE TIED.

WELL, YOU'LL JUST HAVE
TO FIND ANOTHER WAY.

SOUTHFORK IS NOT
PART OF THE DEAL.

THERE IS NO OTHER WAY, J.R.

EITHER YOU MORTGAGE SOUTHFORK

OR THERE'S NO DEAL.

DONE.

Alan: THE NELSONS AND
THE SCHOOL TEACHERS,

THEY'RE IN.

OH, AND THE FUNTS,
RANCHERS UP IN PLANO.

UH-HUH, UH-HUH. GOOD, GOOD.

JUST KEEP ON TOP OF IT, ALAN.

NOT TOO POLITICAL. NO
ONE WITH REAL CLOUT,

JUST LIKE YOU ASKED.

UH-HUH. GRASSROOTS.

THE LITTLE PEOPLE.

I HAVE A LOT OF
WORK PILING UP HERE.

I REALLY DON'T KNOW
HOW I'M GONNA GET AT IT.

YES, SIR, I JUST WANTED
TO SHOW YOU THIS.

I THOUGHT YOU'D GET
A KICK OUT OF THESE.

UH-HUH. OH, THAT'S GOOD.

LOOK AT THIS, J.R.

GOOD, GOOD.

WELL, THAT'S JUST WHAT
WE'RE AFTER, ISN'T IT?

YOU JUST KEEP DOING
WHAT YOU'RE DOING,

AND IT'LL ALL WORK OUT
THE WAY WE PLANNED.

YES, SIR. I JUST
WANTED TO SHOW YOU

HOW YOUR MONEY'S BEING SPENT.

I APPRECIATE IT. WE'LL
GET TO THAT IN DEPTH

IN OUR NEXT MEETING, OK?

OK.

SIGN IT "SINCERELY,
BOBBY EWING,"

ET CETERA, ET CETERA.

MR. EWING. I'M ALAN BEAM.

I'VE BEEN WORKING WITH J.R.

OH, YEAH. SMITHFIELD
AND BENNETT.

I'VE HEARD YOUR NAME MENTIONED.

PLEASED TO MEET YOU.

THANK YOU.

COULD I TALK TO YOU
FOR A FEW MINUTES?

SURE, IN MY OFFICE. BRING
THAT IN FOR ME TO SIGN,

CONNIE?

I SURE WILL.

COME ON IN.

THANK YOU.

WOULD YOU LIKE TO SIT DOWN?

NO, THANKS.

WELL, ALAN, WHAT
CAN I DO FOR YOU?

WELL, I DON'T SUPPOSE
I SHOULD IMPOSE,

BUT YOU ARE HIS BROTHER.

IS SOMETHING THE
MATTER WITH J.R.?

NO. WELL, YES, HE DOES SEEM

UNUSUALLY PREOCCUPIED.

THAT'S PROBABLY THE USUAL.

CLIFF BARNES AND THE O.L.M.

OH, YEAH.

WELL, I GUESS I SHOULD
HAVE KNOWN THAT.

HOW DOES HE HAVE YOU
INVOLVED IN ALL OF THIS?

WELL, I'M WORKING ON A LAWSUIT.

I'LL SEE IF I CAN FILE
AGAINST THE O.L.M.

OH, THAT ABUSIVE POWER THING.

YEAH, THAT'S THE ONE.

I'M RESEARCHING
LEGAL PRECEDENCE.

YEAH. WELL, OUTSIDE OF
MY BROTHER'S STATE OF MIND,

IS THERE ANYTHING ELSE
I CAN HELP YOU WITH?

NO. JUST WANTED TO MEET YOU.

OK, GOOD-BYE.

ALAN, I THINK YOU AND J.R.

ARE GONNA GET ALONG JUST FINE.

YOU'RE REALLY
LOOKING GOOD, DADDY.

I'M FEELING GOOD.

NOT DRINKING AT
ALL. DON'T INTEND TO.

POACHED SALMON'S GOOD HERE.

IT'S FINE, AS
LONG AS IT'S LIGHT.

YOU KNOW, LIVING WITH CLIFF

IN THAT APARTMENT,

I'D LAY AROUND ALL
DAY AND STUFF MY FACE.

I GOT TO GET BACK TO WORK.

THE DOCTOR TOLD
YOU TO TAKE IT EASY.

DOCTORS. WHENEVER THEY'RE STUCK

FOR AN ANSWER, THEY
SAY, "TAKE IT EASY."

HEY, PAM, WHAT'S THE MATTER?

YOU'RE ACTING LIKE YOU GOT

THE WEIGHT OF THE
WORLD ON YOUR SHOULDERS.

I'M PREGNANT, DADDY.

HEY, PAM. THAT'S WONDERFUL.

NO, IT'S NOT.

YOU LET THAT DOCTOR'S DIAGNOSIS

OF... NEURAL...
NEUROFIBROMITOSIS.

WELL, LOOK AT IT
THIS WAY... I SURVIVED,

CLIFF SURVIVED, SO DID YOU.

YOU'VE GOT TO THINK POSITIVE.

I WAS THINKING OF
HAVING AN ABORTION.

IS THAT EWING'S IDEA?

NO! I HAVEN'T EVEN TOLD
BOBBY ABOUT THE DISEASE.

WELL, DON'T.

EVERYTHING WILL WORK OUT.

IT DIDN'T WORK OUT FOR MY
LITTLE BROTHER AND SISTER,

DID IT?

BUT YOU CAN'T DWELL ON THAT.

THAT WAS A LONG TIME AGO.

THINGS HAVE CHANGED.
DOCTORS KNOW MORE.

YOU'RE THE ONE WHO
DOESN'T TRUST DOCTORS,

REMEMBER?

WELL, I CHANGED MY MIND.

OH, DADDY.

WELL, ALL THESE
ARRANGEMENTS JUST LOOK FINE.

TELL YOU WHAT, WHY DON'T
YOU RUN THIS BY WIGGIN

OF WIGGIN & LIGHTNER
IN FORT WORTH?

NEW LAWYERS, J.R.?

WELL, I DON'T WANT TO
BOTHER DADDY WITH THIS DEAL.

BESIDES, HARV SMITHFIELD
MAY SAY SOMETHING WRONG

AT THE WRONG TIME.

[INTERCOM BUZZES]

EXCUSE ME.

YES, JENNA?

OH. IT'S FOR YOU, J.R.

YES? WELL, I THOUGHT I TOLD YOU

I DIDN'T WANT TO BE DISTURBED.

MR. LOYAL HANSON
CALLED SEVERAL TIMES.

HE SOUNDED ANXIOUS.

IT SEEMED QUITE IMPORTANT.

WHAT DID HE HAVE TO SAY?

JUST THAT EVERYTHING'S OK.

YOU'D UNDERSTAND.

IS THERE ANYTHING
I CAN DO, J.R.?

JUST KEEP WORKING
ON THOSE FILES.

WE GOT IT. TOP BID.

THEN YOU BETTER SAY

A SPECIAL PRAYER FOR SOUTHFORK.

[CHUCKLES]

Connie: DIDN'T YOU GO TO LUNCH?

Kristin: NO, I WASN'T
HUNGRY. HOW WAS YOURS?

YUCK. I HAD SOMETHING
CALLED A VEGGIE BURGER.

NEVER AGAIN. ANY CALLS?

YES. ONE ABOUT AN HOUR AGO.

A MR. LOYAL HANSON?

I ALREADY PUT IT THROUGH TO J.R.

DO YOU KNOW WHO HE IS?

NO. NEVER HEARD OF HIM.

HMM. IS MR. LELAND
J.R.'s BANKER,

I MEAN, MOST OF THE TIME?

MY, WE ARE INQUISITIVE.

I'M JUST TRYING TO
LEARN ABOUT MY JOB.

YOU KNOW, IF I WAS
GOING OFF TO COLLEGE

PRETTY SOON, I'D HAVE
A FEW OTHER THINGS

ON MY MIND, LIKE MEN.

OH, CONNIE, I THINK
ABOUT MEN, TOO.

ANYONE SPECIAL?

NOT YET.

J.R.: GOOD MORNING, CONNIE.

Connie: GOOD MORNING...

KRISTIN, ENJOYING YOUR JOB?

J.R., I'M SO GLAD YOU'RE HERE.

I NEED YOU TO SIGN THESE.

SURE.

LOOK AT THAT SMILE.

Jock: LOOK AT THOSE LEGS.

HE'S GONNA BE A HORSEMAN,

ALL RIGHT, MISS ELLIE.

HEY, PAM, WE'LL LET YOU PICK OUT

THE HORSES, ONE FOR HIM

AND ONE FOR YOU, HUH?

JOCK SAYS HE'S GONNA
TEACH THEM BOTH TO RIDE

BEFORE THEY CAN WALK.

WELL, YOU'RE GONNA HAVE
YOUR HANDS FULL, DADDY,

SPOILING 2 GRANDCHILDREN.

ONLY IF THEY'RE BOYS.

WELL, I DON'T SEE YOU
SUFFERING TOO MUCH,

SWEETHEART.

I WAS ONLY KIDDING, GRANDDADDY.

HONEY, ARE YOU ALL RIGHT?

I THINK I BETTER GO UPSTAIRS

AND LIE DOWN FOR A WHILE.

I'LL SEND THERESE
UP WITH YOUR DINNER.

I'LL GO WITH YOU.

OH, NO. I JUST WANT
TO BE BY MYSELF.

OK.

AIN'T HE JUST A GOOD BOY?

AIN'T HE SOMETHING, MISS ELLIE?

AIN'T HE SOMETHING?

[TELEPHONE RINGS]

YES?

THIS BUSINESS MEETING IS
DRAGGING ON, SWEETHEART.

I DON'T KNOW HOW
LATE I'M GONNA BE.

OF COURSE, J.R.

I'LL TELL MISS ELLIE NOT
TO EXPECT YOU FOR DINNER.

THANK YOU.

YOU READY FOR ME, VAUGHN?

OH, JUST ABOUT, J.R.

YOU CAN STILL RECONSIDER.

NOW, YOU UNDERSTAND,
J.R., THAT IF ANY

OF THOSE OFF-SHORE
LEASES GO BAD,

AND EWING OIL FALLS
BEHIND IN ANY PAYMENTS,

THERE'LL BE NO FAVORS.

THE BANKS WILL TAKE
OVER SOUTHFORK.

THAT'S LOSER TALK.

EWING OIL IS ABOUT TO
BECOME REAL POWER.

WELL... HA HA HA.

IT WAS QUITE A WEEK,
HUH? I'LL BUY YOU A DRINK.

GOOD IDEA.

THERE'S NOBODY THAT DESERVES

A LITTLE CELEBRATION

MORE THAN THE 2
GENTLEMEN IN THIS ROOM.

NOTHING'S GONNA
STOP ME NOW, VAUGHN.

AND MR. BARNES CAN
GO STRAIGHT TO HELL.

THAT WAS A LONG MEETING.

YES, IT WAS. CHAMPAGNE.

CAN I ASSUME WE HAVE
SOMETHING TO CELEBRATE?

YOU KNOW, J.R.,
I'VE BEEN THINKING.

ARCHITECTURAL SCHOOL

REALLY ISN'T ALL
THAT INTERESTING,

AT LEAST NOT COMPARED
TO THE OIL BUSINESS.

THE OIL BUSINESS HAS
BEEN VERY KIND TO ME.

I FIND IT FASCINATING,
ESPECIALLY THE SECRETS.

WHAT SECRETS?

[KRISTIN GIGGLES]

DON'T WORRY, J.R. I WON'T TELL.

TELL WHAT?

WELL, THERE'S THE MEETINGS

WITH MR. LELAND AND MR. HANSON.

THERE'S SOUTHEAST ASIA.

I DON'T EXACTLY KNOW
WHAT IT'S ALL ABOUT,

BUT I AM SURE THAT IT HAS TO DO

WITH LOTS AND LOTS OF MONEY.

YOU KNOW, I'LL BET
BOBBY OR UNCLE JOCK...

THEY COULD FIGURE IT OUT.

WHY, YOU LITTLE RASCAL.

YOU'RE WHAT THEY
CALL A DEVIOUS WENCH.

WHY, J.R., I THOUGHT
YOU LIKED DEVIOUS.

I LOVE DEVIOUS.

NOW, WHAT ARE YOU GONNA DO

WITH THIS NEW-FOUND
KNOWLEDGE OF YOURS?

NOTHING.

YOU'RE NOT GONNA TELL
BOBBY OR MY DADDY?

OF COURSE NOT.

WHY, YOUR DADDY MIGHT REMOVE YOU

FROM EWING OIL

AND WHERE WOULD THAT LEAVE ME?

YOU'RE ONE SMART LADY.

ALL I WANT, J.R., IS FOR YOU

TO KEEP COMING BACK.

NO ONE-NIGHT STANDS.

KRISTIN, WITH YOUR
MIND AND YOUR BODY,

IT JUST MIGHT TAKE ME

A LIFETIME TO FIGURE YOU OUT.

J.R., YOU JUST PUSHED
ALL THE RIGHT BUTTONS.

[KRISTIN MOANS]
