Dallas (1978–1991): Season 3, Episode 9 - Mastectomy: Part 1 - full transcript
Jock confesses his secret to Miss Ellie, which cause her to fear telling him about her cancer. J.R. continues his plan to undermine Cliff. Sue Ellen meets Dusty Farlow again.
I DON'T WANT TO TELL JOCK.
MISS ELLIE, WHY NOT?
I MAY NEED A MASTECTOMY.
I JUST DON'T THINK HE'LL EVER
BE ABLE TO ACCEPT ME AGAIN.
I ASKED YOU A FEW WEEKS AGO TO
SET UP A TRUST FUND FOR MY EX-WIFE.
I LIED TO YOU, DADDY.
WHY, J.R.?
MAMA... HAVE YOU TOLD HER YET?
YOU DIVORCED A WOMAN
BECAUSE SHE WAS SICK?
IT WAS A LONG TIME AGO.
OVER 40 YEARS, ELLIE.
IF I GET SICK, ARE YOU
GONNA WALK OUT ON ME?
CAPTIONING MADE
POSSIBLE BY WARNER BROS.
HARLEN, IT'S ELLIE EWING.
I'M SORRY TO BOTHER YOU AT HOME,
BUT I... I WONDER IF
YOU COULD SEE ME
IN YOUR OFFICE THIS MORNING.
I KNOW, BUT, UH, I'M WORRIED.
THANKS, HARLEN.
WELL, GOOD MORNING, SWEETHEART.
HOW ABOUT SOME BREAKFAST?
NO, JOCK, I HAD SOME COFFEE.
I'M NOT HUNGRY.
ARE YOU ALL RIGHT?
I'M FINE.
I JUST HAVE TO DO SOME
ERRANDS IN DALLAS THIS MORNING.
WELL, I'M GOING TO
THE OFFICE LATER.
I'LL TAKE YOU.
UH... NO, THAT'S ALL RIGHT.
I'LL GET A LIFT IN WITH PAM.
OK.
THE WELL WAS SPUTTERED IN, J.R.,
AND IT'S A REAL GUSHER.
HMM?
THE CORE IS ALL GRAY SHALE.
WE'VE JUST PUT IN
THE SURFACE PIPE,
AND I'VE JUST CALLED FOR
THE BLOW-UP PREVENTER.
[MOANS]
WHAT TIME IS IT?
I KNEW THAT WOULD
WAKE UP AN OIL MAN.
[MOANS]
IT'S MORNING.
YOU LET ME SLEEP HERE ALL NIGHT?
I DIDN'T HAVE THE HEART...
AND BESIDES, IT WAS NICE.
I TOLD YOU NEVER TO DO THAT.
WHY DIDN'T YOU
WAKE ME UP ANYHOW?
LORD SAKES... WELL,
YOU TOSSED AND TURNED
AND YOU SEEMED SO EXHAUSTED.
WELL, YOU'RE AN EXCITING
YOUNG WOMAN, SUGAR.
IT GETS ME ALL KEYED UP.
THANKS, J.R., BUT THERE
ARE OTHER REASONS
FOR YOUR BEING KEYED UP.
YEAH, WHERE ARE MY CLOTHES?
WHERE ARE THEY AT?
WELL, I PUT A FRESH
SUIT IN THE BATHROOM
AND I'M TAKING LAST
NIGHT'S TO THE CLEANERS.
OH, OK.
I GOT 'EM, I GOT 'EM.
LISTEN, I... I REALLY
APPRECIATE IT,
BUT LET'S NOT DO THIS AGAIN.
WHY? I LIKE WAKING UP
WITH YOU IN THE MORNING.
YEAH, YEAH, I KNOW, I KNOW.
BUT THAT IS NO EXCUSE.
THEY'RE...
J.R., I WISH YOU'D
LET ME HELP YOU.
WELL, YOU'RE DOING
FINE, DARLIN', JUST FINE.
NO, I MEAN I KNOW
HOW WORRIED YOU ARE.
I GOT EVERYTHING UNDER CONTROL.
NOT EXACTLY, J.R.,
CONSIDERING EVERYTHING
EWING OWNS IS MORTGAGED,
INCLUDING SOUTHFORK.
NOTHING FOR YOU TO TROUBLE
YOURSELF ABOUT, DARLIN'.
WELL, I KNOW HOW
CONCERNED YOU ARE
ABOUT UNCLE JOCK FINDING OUT.
MAYBE IF YOU'D TALK TO ME
IT WOULD HELP YOU RELAX.
WELL NOW, KRISTIN,
IF YOU KNOW ABOUT IT
AND I KNOW ABOUT IT,
THEN WHAT HAVE WE
GOT TO TALK ABOUT?
YOU KNOW HOW I'M GONNA RELAX?
IF YOU GET YOUR TAIL OUT OF HERE
AND GET TO THE
OFFICE BEFORE I DO.
GO ON, GO ON.
[CHUCKLES]
THAT WOMAN JUST CANNOT
MAKE A DECENT CUP OF COFFEE.
Bobby: WELL, YOU
PLANNING ON SEEIN'
DONNA AGAIN, OR WHAT?
Ray: WELL, NOT RIGHT AWAY.
I TALKED TO HER ON
THE DAY OF THE RODEO,
TOLD HER I GOT ALL HER LETTERS.
I STILL CAN'T BELIEVE YOU LET
ALL THOSE LETTERS STACK UP
WITHOUT READING
A SINGLE ONE OF 'EM.
WELL, I TELL YOU I HAD NO
IDEA OLD SAM CULVER WAS DYING
WHEN I HEARD SHE AND HIM
WERE GETTING RECONCILED.
I FIGURED SHE JUST WANTED ME
FOR A ROLL IN THE HAY
EVERY ONCE IN AWHILE.
FEELINGS FOR DONNA
GO WAY BEYOND THAT.
WELL, IF THAT'S WHAT YOU
THOUGHT ABOUT DONNA,
YOU DO NOT KNOW YOUR LADIES.
YEAH, I GUESS I WAS
BURNED ONCE TOO OFTEN.
WELL.
THAT SUE ELLEN LEAVING
ALREADY THIS MORNING?
YEAH, I GUESS THE DOCTOR CHANGED
THE TIME OF HER APPOINTMENT.
YEAH, I SAW HER LEAVING
ABOUT THE SAME TIME YESTERDAY
WHEN I WAS OUT
WORKING THOSE CATTLE.
YEAH, WELL, I GOTTA GET BACK.
I'LL SEE YOU LATER.
YEAH, I'LL GET THIS GEAR IN.
Harlen: THE MAMMOGRAM DOES SHOW
WHAT MIGHT BE CYSTS, ELLIE,
EXACTLY LIKE THE LAST ONE.
BUT I'VE GONE OVER IT VERY
CAREFULLY WITH MY RADIOLOGIST
AND THERE IS NO SIGN ON THE
MAMMOGRAM OF CANCER IN YOUR BREAST.
I'M BEGINNING TO FEEL
LIKE A HYPOCHONDRIAC...
BUT I FELT A LUMP.
I KNOW, ELLIE, BUT MOST
LUMPS ARE NOT CANCEROUS.
IN SELF-EXAMINATION YOU
MIGHT FEEL A LUMPY AREA
THAT'S PERSISTENT AND RECURRING,
BUT IT'S A CHANGE
IN THE BREAST TISSUE
THAT WE WANT TO
BE ON THE ALERT FOR.
BUT, HARLEN, WHAT I
FELT WAS A CHANGE.
ELLIE, SINCE THE LAST
TESTS ARE NEGATIVE,
I'M NOT GOING TO RUSH YOU
INTO SURGERY ON
THAT KIND OF EVIDENCE.
WHAT ABOUT THE DISCHARGE?
MOST DISCHARGES ARE BENIGN.
THEN THERE'S NOTHING TO DO.
OH, NO, NO.
THE FIRST THING IS TO
TAKE A SAMPLE OF THE FLUID,
WHICH WE'LL DO BEFORE
YOU LEAVE HERE TODAY,
AND HAVE THE LAB DO A PAP TEST.
ANYTHING ELSE?
YES, CONTINUE WITH THE
SELF-EXAMINATION ON A REGULAR BASIS,
AND I'LL CALL YOU WITH
THE RESULTS OF THE TEST.
ALL RIGHT.
ANYTHING ELSE, MRS. EWING?
UH, NO, JUST THE CHECK, MITZI.
Connie: NO, MR. HANSON,
J.R. ISN'T IN YET.
YES, I'LL HAVE HIM
CALL YOU FIRST THING.
GOOD MORNING, CONNIE.
MORNING.
SORRY I'M LATE.
IT'S BEEN ONE OF THOSE MORNINGS.
IS, UH, J.R. IN YET?
NO, J.R. ISN'T IN.
LOYAL HANSON'S CALLED TWICE,
WANTS TO TALK
TO HIM FIRST THING.
WELL, DID HE SAY WHAT HE WANTED?
NEVER DOES.
MORNING, MR. EWING.
MORNING, LADIES.
GOOD MORNING, UNCLE JOCK.
J.R. IN?
NOT YET.
GOOD MORNING, CONNIE.
J.R.
OH, HELLO, DAD!
J.R.
I WAS HOPING TO
HAVE A LITTLE CHANCE
TO TALK TO YOU LAST NIGHT.
WELL, I HAD A LONG
MEETING WITH THE BOYS,
AND I WAS TOO TIRED TO
DRIVE OUT TO THE RANCH.
CONNIE, DID YOU MAKE
THE COFFEE THIS MORNING?
YES, I DID.
OH, GOOD, GOOD.
FETCH US A COUPLE OF
CUPS, WILL YOU, DARLIN'?
DAD? YEAH.
YOU KNOW THAT FAIRVIEW HOTEL
IS STILL THE BEST
DAMN HOTEL IN DALLAS.
WELL, I'LL TELL YOU
SOMETHING, J.R.,
I DIDN'T DRIVE ALL THE WAY
DOWN HERE TO TALK ABOUT
WHERE YOU SPENT THE NIGHT.
WHAT'S ON YOUR MIND, SIR?
MR. HANSON CALLED.
THANK YOU.
I'LL TAKE CARE OF IT.
YOU KNOW, SHE HAS
TURNED OUT TO BE
THE BEST SECRETARY
I'VE EVER HAD.
UM, WAS THAT LOYAL HANSON?
YES, AS A MATTER OF FACT IT IS.
THE FOREIGN OIL EXPERT?
MM-HMM.
YEAH, HE'S BEEN
AFTER ME TO INVEST
IN SOME OVERSEAS
STUFF, I DON'T KNOW.
WHAT ABOUT THE
IMPORT QUOTA, J.R.?
WELL, YOU KNOW HOW IT IS, DAD.
IF YOU CAN FIND IT OVER THERE,
YOU CAN SELL IT OVER THERE.
BIG WORLD.
YEAH.
J.R., WHAT ABOUT THOSE
PAPERS I'M SUPPOSED TO SIGN?
I ASKED YOU A FEW
WEEKS AGO TO SET UP
A TRUST FUND FOR MY EX-WIFE.
WELL, YOU'RE
FEELING FINE NOW, DAD,
AND YOU'VE BEEN SENDING
CHECKS FOR AMANDA'S CARE
TO THAT INSTITUTION FOR YEARS.
I JUST DON'T INTEND
TO RUSH, THAT'S ALL.
I'LL TELL YOU WHAT, J.R.
YOU GET ON THAT INTERCOM.
TELL KRISTIN TO SEND
ACCOUNTANTS OVER HERE.
TELL HER TO GET A HOLD OF
MY LAWYER HARV SMITHFIELD
TO GET OVER HERE RIGHT AWAY.
I'LL TAKE CARE OF
THIS SITUATION MYSELF.
WELL, I TOLD YOU
IT'S IN THE WORKS.
WELL, IS IT?
I'D LIKE TO SEE THE PAPERS.
I LIED TO YOU, DADDY.
THAT'S THE FIRST TIME.
I SWEAR IT.
WHY, J.R.?
MAMA.
IT'S NONE OF MY BUSINESS
YOU WERE MARRIED BEFORE, DAD.
BUT I CAN'T HELP
FEELING AS IF I...
I'M DOING SOMETHING
BEHIND HER BACK.
HAVE YOU TOLD HER YET?
NO, IT JUST, UH...
WELL, IT JUST NEVER SEEMED
THE RIGHT TIME, THAT'S ALL.
NOW IF YOU WANT ME
TO GO AHEAD WITH THIS
WITHOUT TELLING HER, I'LL DO IT.
I WILL.
NO.
I'LL TELL HER TONIGHT.
WHAT DO YOU DO NOW?
KEEP GOING BACK FOR
REGULAR CHECKUPS.
WELL, THAT DOESN'T
SOUND TOO DIFFICULT.
I DON'T WANT TO TELL JOCK.
MISS ELLIE, WHY NOT?
HE GETS BETTER LOOKING
AS HE GETS OLDER...
TALL AND LEAN.
THERE'S NOT AN
OUNCE OF FAT ON HIM.
I ADMIRE HIS BEAUTY.
I KNOW...
HE STILL HAS AN EYE FOR
A GOOD-LOOKING WOMAN.
HOW CAN I TELL HIM THAT...
THAT I MAY NEED A MASTECTOMY?
IT'LL BE ALL RIGHT.
HE'LL TURN AWAY FROM ME.
I KNOW HE WILL.
NO, HE WON'T.
I JUST DON'T THINK HE'LL EVER
BE ABLE TO ACCEPT ME AGAIN...
AND I DON'T KNOW
IF I'LL BE ABLE TO...
TO FACE THE POSSIBILITY OF THAT.
YOU ONCE TOLD ME
THAT YOUR MARRIAGE TO
JOCK WAS BASED ON HONESTY.
NOW MORE THAN EVER...
YOU'VE GOT TO TRUST
YOUR LOVE FOR EACH OTHER...
AND THAT HONESTY.
WELL, I...
I GUESS IT'S WHAT I
WANTED TO DO ALL ALONG.
I'LL TRY AND TELL HIM TONIGHT.
Ellie: JOCK, I... I THINK
YOU'VE STIRRED
THAT DRINK LONG ENOUGH.
YEAH, I GUESS YOU'RE RIGHT.
[COUGHS]
MISS ELLIE, WHEN YOU'VE BEEN
MARRIED AS LONG AS WE HAVE,
YOU... YOU KIND OF SENSE
WHEN SOMETHING'S WRONG.
YES, I GUESS WE'RE BEYOND
KEEPING THINGS FROM EACH OTHER.
I COULD SEE IT IN YOUR FACE.
I WANTED TO TALK, JOCK.
I GUESS YOU PICKED
IT UP FROM ME.
THE OTHER WAY AROUND.
WELL, I... I NEVER REALLY
KNEW HOW TO TELL YOU...
BUT I MUST HAVE BEEN ON THE
VERGE OF IT A HUNDRED TIMES.
TELL ME WHAT?
ABOUT AMANDA.
AMANDA?
HERE, I WAIT 40
YEARS TO TELL YOU...
AND WOULDN'T YOU KNOW IT
ALL COMES OUT BACKWARDS.
JOCK, I DON'T UNDERSTAND
WHAT YOU'RE SAYING.
ELLIE, I'M TRYING TO TELL
YOU ABOUT MY FIRST WIFE.
YOUR FIRST WIFE?
YES.
I WAS MARRIED AND
DIVORCED BEFORE I MET YOU.
HER NAME WAS... IS AMANDA.
WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?
WELL, WHEN I, UH...
WENT HUNTING WITH THE BOYS A
FEW WEEKS AGO AND GOT SHOT,
I DIDN'T KNOW WHETHER I
WAS GONNA MAKE IT OR NOT,
I REALIZED I HAD AN
OBLIGATION TO HER.
OBLIGATION?!
MISS ELLIE, SHE'S
NOT A WELL WOMAN.
SHE HAD A COMPLETE
MENTAL BREAKDOWN
SHORTLY AFTER WE WERE MARRIED.
THE DOCTORS FINALLY
ADVISED DIVORCE.
I PAID ALL OF HER
SANITARIUM BILLS.
I FIGURED THAT IF
ANYTHING HAPPENED TO ME,
THEY... THERE OUGHT
TO BE SOME SORT
OF A TRUST FUND TO
CONTINUE THOSE PAYMENTS.
BUT I HAD TO TALK TO YOU FIRST.
YOU DIVORCED A WOMAN
BECAUSE SHE WAS SICK?
NO, MISS ELLIE.
IT WAS ON DOCTORS' ADVICE.
AND YOU KEPT THIS
FROM ME... ALL THIS TIME?
I WANTED TO TELL YOU,
MISS ELLIE, BELIEVE ME.
I DIDN'T WANT TO
LOSE YOU TO DIGGER.
I WASN'T SO SURE OF
MYSELF IN THOSE DAYS.
WHAT ELSE HAVEN'T
YOU TOLD ME, JOCK?
WHAT ELSE?
NOTHING.
IT WAS A LONG TIME AGO.
OVER 40 YEARS, ELLIE.
A LONG TIME AGO, YOU
WALKED OUT ON A SICK WOMAN.
IF I GET SICK, ARE YOU
GONNA WALK OUT ON ME?
Jock: MISS ELLIE,
COME BACK HERE!
WHAT DO YOU THINK
THAT WAS ALL ABOUT?
I'VE NEVER SEEN GRANDMA
SO ANGRY BEFORE.
WHAT WERE THEY SAYING?
I DON'T KNOW, HONEY.
J.R., DO YOU KNOW
ANYTHING ABOUT IT?
GOT ME.
DADDY, IS THERE
ANYTHING I CAN DO?
NO, NOT A DAMN THING.
IS MISS ELLIE STILL
IN THE BEDROOM?
YEAH, APPARENTLY.
DADDY'S STILL DOWN IN THE
DEN SMOKING CIGARETTES
LIKE HE'S TRYING FOR
ANOTHER HEART ATTACK.
BOBBY, I'M AFRAID I
MAY BE RESPONSIBLE.
I HAD LUNCH WITH
MISS ELLIE TODAY,
AND SHE TOLD ME SOME
THINGS SHE HADN'T TOLD JOCK,
AND I SAID SHE SHOULDN'T
KEEP ANYTHING FROM HIM.
WHAT THINGS?
HONEY, WHAT COULD BE SO BAD
THAT IT WOULD MAKE MOM
AND DADDY FIGHT LIKE THAT?
WELL, I DON'T
KNOW, BUT I DO KNOW
THAT SHE WAS SO ON EDGE THAT
ANYTHING COULD HAVE SET HER OFF.
BUT WHY?
BOBBY, MISS ELLIE HAS
A LUMP IN HER BREAST.
OH, MY GOD.
A TUMOR?
DR. DANVERS DOESN'T THINK SO,
BUT MISS ELLIE
SEEMS SO SURE IT IS.
WELL, THEN WE'LL
GET ANOTHER OPINION.
APPARENTLY, THEY'VE DONE
ALL THE TESTS THEY CAN.
NOW IT'S JUST A MATTER
OF WAITING IT OUT
AND MISS ELLIE GETTING
FREQUENT CHECKUPS.
PAMELA, SOMETHING ELSE
HAPPENED IN THAT DEN TONIGHT,
SOMETHING WE DON'T
KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT.
I DON'T KNOW.
I JUST KNOW HOW
WORRIED MISS ELLIE WAS
ABOUT THE WAY JOCK
WOULD TAKE THE NEWS.
WELL, I DON'T UNDERSTAND THAT.
DADDY LOVES HER. SHE KNOWS THAT.
SOME WOMEN WORRY THAT IF
THEY AREN'T PERFECT IN ALL WAYS,
THEY CAN'T KEEP THEIR MAN.
WELL, MAYBE IT'S TIME
THAT THEY UNDERSTOOD
THAT A MAN CAN LOVE
A WOMAN SO MUCH
THAT NOTHING MATTERS
AS LONG AS THEY'RE TOGETHER.
THAT WAS QUITE AN EXPLOSION
FROM MISS ELLIE
LAST NIGHT, WASN'T IT?
HMM, LOOK HERE.
MY FAVORITE TIE'S
GOT A SPOT ON IT.
I DON'T THINK I HAVE EVER
HEARD HER RAISE HER VOICE
TO JOCK LIKE THAT EVER BEFORE.
AH, IT'LL BLOW OVER.
HERE'S ONE WITH A RIP IN IT.
I TELL YOU, THEY DON'T MAKE
TIES THE WAY THEY USED TO.
DOGGONE IT.
YOU KNOW WHAT IT'S
ALL ABOUT, DON'T YOU?
WHAT EVER GAVE
YOU THAT IDEA, HONEY?
THE WAY YOU AVOIDED
ANSWERING BOBBY LAST NIGHT.
WELL, YOU'VE BECOME
QUITE A LITTLE ANALYST
SINCE YOU STARTED
GOING TO DR. ELLBY.
IT'S SERIOUS, ISN'T IT, J.R.?
AH.
NEVER MIND, YOU
WON'T TELL ME ANYWAY.
I CAN JUST IMAGINE
WHAT WOULD HAPPEN
TO YOUR PRECIOUS EWING EMPIRE
IF YOUR MOM AND
DADDY WERE TO SPLIT UP.
YOU'D HAVE TO CHOOSE BETWEEN
SOUTHFORK AND EWING OIL,
AND I CAN'T IMAGINE YOU WANTING
TO GIVE UP A PIECE OF
EITHER ONE OF THEM.
NOW HANG ON, SUE ELLEN.
BEFORE YOU HAVE MY
MAMA AND PAPA DIVORCED
AND HALFWAY THROUGH
A PROPERTY SETTLEMENT,
JUST REMEMBER YOU'RE ONLY HERE
'CAUSE IT PLEASES
MY MAMA AND PAPA.
[CHUCKLES]
SUE ELLEN, AFTER YOUR
LITTLE THERAPY SESSION,
I WANT YOU TO STOP BY THE STORE
AND GET ME A COUPLE A
DOZEN OF THESE THINGS.
[BELL RINGS]
Man: ELLEN, NUMBER 3 UP.
[MAN LAUGHS]
Woman: COFFEE, MRS. EWING?
Sue Ellen: UH, YES, THANK YOU.
HERE YOU ARE.
THANK YOU.
SUE ELLEN.
HELLO.
YOU CARE FOR SOME COMPANY?
WHY NOT?
HELLO, DARLIN'.
UH, LET ME HAVE A COFFEE BLACK
AND SCRAMBLE UP 6 EGGS
WITH ALL THE TRIMMINGS.
6 EGGS?
THE USUAL, MRS. EWING?
UH, NO, THANK YOU, MITZI.
JUST THE COFFEE.
RIGHT.
DO YOU KNOW I'VE BEEN IN
HERE A NUMBER OF TIMES?
YES.
YOU KNOW, WE HAD SUCH
A NICE CONVERSATION
AT THE RODEO AND, UH...
I WANTED TO TALK TO YOU AGAIN,
BUT, UH, RIGHT NOW I
FEEL A LITTLE AWKWARD.
WELL, YOU SHOULDN'T.
I DIDN'T KNOW HOW
TO GET A HOLD OF YOU.
I DIDN'T WANT TO CALL THE RANCH.
YOU COULD'VE.
IT'S NOT AS IF YOU'RE AN
ORDINARY RANCH HAND.
YOUR FAMILY DOES OWN
THE SOUTHERN CROSS RANCH.
IT MAKES YOU, UH, AN
EQUAL OF THE EWINGS.
I WASN'T PLANNING ON
VISITING WITH THE EWINGS.
IT'S YOU I WANTED TO SEE.
[BELL RINGS]
UH, DUSTY, I THINK YOU'RE
GETTING THE WRONG IDEA.
AM I?
HERE YOU ARE.
MORE COFFEE, MRS. EWING?
NO, THANK YOU, MITZI.
I HAVE TO GO NOW.
STAY AND KEEP ME COMPANY.
I HAVE AN APPOINTMENT IN DALLAS.
JUST SPARE ME A FEW MINUTES.
WELL, I DON'T THINK I SHOULD.
YOU HAVEN'T ASKED ME WHY I
WENT TO WORK AT THE FRONT RANCH
INSTEAD OF JUST MOVING
ON LIKE I USUALLY DO.
I DIDN'T EVEN THINK ABOUT IT.
WANT SOME OF THESE EGGS?
I NEVER EAT 6 EGGS.
THEN WHY DID YOU ORDER THEM?
I GUESS THE SIGHT OF
YOU MADE ME HUNGRY.
Alan: THAT LOOKS GOOD, BOB.
PULL YOUR END DOWN
A LITTLE BIT THOUGH.
PERFECT, PERFECT.
THAT'S GREAT.
HI, CARRIE.
HI. DO YOU APPROVE, MR. BEAM?
OH YEAH, THAT LOOKS
GREAT... AND LISTEN, IT'S ALAN.
WE'RE VERY INFORMAL
AROUND HERE, ALL RIGHT?
THANK YOU.
YEAH, THANK YOU.
[BUZZ]
Connie: J.R., YOU'RE WANTED
ON THE PRIVATE LINE.
[CAR HORN BEEPS]
J.R. EWING HERE.
WELL, WE'VE ROUNDED UP A
BUNCH OF EAGER VOLUNTEERS,
PRINTED THE LEAFLETS.
WE'RE OPEN FOR BUSINESS, J.R.
GOOD.
MISSED YOU AT DINNER.
I WASN'T UP TO A FAMILY DINNER.
MAMA, WOULD IT HELP IF WE TALKED
ABOUT THE PROBLEM
BETWEEN YOU AND DADDY?
THANKS, BOBBY.
I DON'T WANT TO.
NOT NOW.
PAM TOLD ME ABOUT YOUR
VISITS TO DR. DANVERS.
IS THAT WHAT THE
FIGHT WAS ABOUT?
NO.
SHE TOLD ME YOU
WERE GONNA TELL HIM.
BOBBY, I, UH, I TRY NOT TO PRY
INTO YOURS AND PAM'S AFFAIRS.
I WISH YOU'D GIVE ME
THE SAME CONSIDERATION.
[TELEPHONE RINGS]
[RING]
HELLO?
Harlen: ELLIE, THIS IS HARLEN.
THE RESULTS OF THE
PAP TEST ARE SUSPICIOUS.
I WANT TO SEE YOU.
OH, GOOD, PAM.
YOU'RE STILL HERE.
GOOD MORNING.
SOMETHING I CAN DO FOR YOU?
UH, COULD YOU DRIVE ME INTO
DALLAS AGAIN THIS MORNING?
WELL, SURE.
DR. DANVERS' OFFICE?
NO.
DALLAS MEMORIAL HOSPITAL.
[SIGHS]
AM I BORING YOU, DR. ELLBY?
[SIGHS]
WHY DO YOU THINK
YOU'RE BORING ME?
ANSWER A QUESTION
WITH A QUESTION,
THAT'S WHAT I HATE ABOUT YOU.
NO, I GUESS I DON'T.
HOW CAN I HATE YOU WHEN I DON'T
EVEN KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT YOU?
THERE'S GOT TO BE A
REASON FOR ANGER.
IT JUST CAN'T
HAPPEN IN A VACUUM.
YOU'RE RIGHT, BUT YOU
CAN EXPERIENCE AN EMOTION
WITHOUT ALWAYS KNOWING WHY
OR HAVING IT JUSTIFIED.
I GUESS SO.
BUT I'M SURE THAT YOU
HAVE A LOT OF PATIENTS
THAT ARE MUCH MORE
INTERESTING THAN I AM.
OH?
MY HUSBAND SAID THAT OF ALL
THE PSYCHIATRISTS IN DALLAS,
YOU WERE THE ONE MOST
LIKELY TO GET ME INTO BED.
[LAUGHS]
IS THAT WHY YOU'RE
ANGRY WITH ME?
BECAUSE I HAVEN'T
TRIED TO SEDUCE YOU?
I DON'T WANT TO BE SEDUCED
BY YOU OR ANYBODY ELSE.
[SIGHS]
MAY I HAVE A DRINK
OF WATER, PLEASE?
OF COURSE.
HELP YOURSELF.
YOU KNOW, YOU'RE NOT
MUCH OF A GENTLEMAN.
YOU COULD'VE GOTTEN
ME THE WATER INSTEAD
OF HAVING TO GET IT MYSELF.
SUE ELLEN, DON'T
YOU WANT TO TELL ME
WHAT'S REALLY ON YOUR MIND?
NOTHING SPECIAL.
I MET A MAN.
I DON'T KNOW WHY I'M MAKING
SUCH A BIG DEAL ABOUT IT.
I HARDLY EVEN KNOW THIS MAN.
I SPOKE TO HIM AT
THE EWING RODEO
AND AGAIN YESTERDAY
AT A COFFEE SHOP.
ACTUALLY, I'D GO
INTO THE COFFEE SHOP
EVERY MORNING FOR BREAKFAST
HOPING THAT I'D MEET HIM.
HE WANTS TO SEE ME AGAIN
AND I'M AFRAID TO SEE HIM.
I KNOW HE WANTS ME
TO GO TO BED WITH HIM.
I DON'T... I DON'T KNOW
WHAT'S THE MATTER.
I... I FEEL SO COLD INSIDE.
I'VE NO DESIRE FOR SEX.
AND I WANT TO SEE HIM AGAIN,
BUT THEN MAYBE I
SHOULDN'T SEE HIM AGAIN.
IT'S NOT SURPRISING THAT YOU'RE
TURNED OFF SEXUALLY RIGHT NOW.
YOU NEED TIME FOR
YOUR WOUNDS TO HEAL.
YOU KNOW, WE'VE NEVER EVEN
DISCUSSED HOW YOU REALLY FEEL
ABOUT AN EXTRA-MARITAL AFFAIR.
DOES IT OFFEND YOU?
WELL, IT DOESN'T SEEM
TO BE BOTHERING J.R.
SUE ELLEN, YOU'RE NOT J.R.,
AND YOU'VE ALREADY LEARNED
IN YOUR AFFAIR WITH CLIFF
WHAT HAPPENS TO YOU WHEN
YOU FIGHT FIRE WITH FIRE.
IN OTHER WORDS, UH,
I SHOULD BE CAREFUL.
JUST TRY AND BE SUE ELLEN.
WELL, I'M AFRAID I... I DON'T
EVEN KNOW WHO SHE IS YET.
I HAVE A VERY COMFORTABLE
POSITION WITH SMITHFIELD BENNETT.
I WOULDN'T BE MAKING WAVES
IF I DIDN'T THINK YOU COULD WIN.
I HEARD ABOUT
YOUR FIGHT WITH J.R.
MY DAD TOLD ME.
I JUST DON'T QUITE UNDERSTAND
WHAT KIND OF BIRDSEED
YOU'RE TRYING TO HAND ME.
YOU KNOW I'M OUT TO DESTROY HIM.
UNLESS, OF COURSE, YOU WANT
TO JUMP ON THE BANDWAGON
AND TAKE A FEW CHOPS
WITH YOUR OWN LITTLE AX.
I WANT TO HIT HIM WHERE IT HURTS
AND I FIGURE YOU'RE
THE ONE WHO CAN PAINT
THE TARGET ON THE RIGHT PLACE,
BUT THAT'S NOT MY ONLY MOTIVE.
OH?
VENGEANCE IS STUPID UNLESS
YOU MAKE SOMETHING ON THE DEAL.
WELL, YOU SAY YOU'RE SOLID
WITH SMITHFIELD AND BENNETT, HUH?
WELL, AT 60,000 NOW,
MAYBE 100,000 IN A
COUPLE OF YEARS.
I'M VERY GOOD AT
WHAT I DO, CLIFF.
DO YOU MIND IF I CALL YOU CLIFF?
YOU JUST DID.
I LIKE MONEY WELL ENOUGH.
DON'T GET ME WRONG, BUT, UH,
I'M ALSO YOUNG ENOUGH
TO WANNA MAKE MY MARK.
HOW DO YOU INTEND TO DO THAT?
BY CLIMBING RIGHT TO THE TOP,
HOLDING FIRMLY
ONTO YOUR SHIRTTAILS.
OH, HA HA HA.
WAIT A MINUTE.
YOU KNOW, YOU SEEM TO BE
OVERLOOKING ONE VERY IMPORTANT FACT.
I'M NOT RUNNING FOR
OFFICE, ANY OFFICE.
CLIFF, YOU STAND FOR THE THINGS
THE PEOPLE IN
YOUR DISTRICT WANT.
IT'S A NATURAL.
I WANT YOU TO ENDORSE THE "DRAFT
BARNES FOR CONGRESS" MOVEMENT.
NO, CAN'T DO THAT.
HERE'S A LIST OF PEOPLE
AND ORGANIZATIONS
THAT ARE LINING UP TO BACK YOU.
IT'S FLATTERING.
YOU'VE BEEN VERY BUSY.
OH, I DIDN'T HAVE TO DO MUCH.
YOU'VE GOT PLENTY OF SUPPORT.
I JUST HAD TO ORGANIZE IT.
I'M IMPRESSED.
CLIFF, ARE YOU GONNA STOP ME?
NO.
THAT'S ALL I NEED.
AS LONG AS YOU DON'T FIGHT ME,
I'M GONNA MAKE YOU A WINNER.
PAM, YOU DIDN'T HAVE
TO COME UP HERE.
I DON'T WANT YOU
TO BE LATE FOR WORK.
OH, DON'T WORRY.
I SPOKE TO LIZ.
I'M TAKING THE DAY OFF.
PAM, THAT'S NOT NECESSARY.
I HAVE SOME TESTS TO MAKE,
AND THEY'RE JUST
GONNA REMOVE THE CYST.
MISS ELLIE, I KNOW YOU'RE
EXPECTING IT TO BE MORE THAN THAT,
BUT EVEN IF IT ISN'T, YOU STILL HAVE
TO SPEND THE NIGHT IN THE HOSPITAL.
NOW DON'T YOU THINK YOU SHOULD
CALL JOCK AND LET HIM KNOW?
NO.
HOW DO YOU EXPECT TO SPEND
THE NIGHT AWAY FROM SOUTHFORK
WITHOUT JOCK FINDING
OUT YOU'RE IN THE HOSPITAL?
THE MAN'S GONNA
WORRY HIMSELF SICK.
DON'T YOU THINK YOU SHOULD
BE THE ONE TO TELL HIM?
PAM, I APPRECIATE
YOUR CONCERN FOR ME,
BUT WHAT I TELL OR DO
NOT TELL MY HUSBAND
IS NONE OF YOUR BUSINESS.
WELL, I'M SORRY,
BUT I FEEL ESPECIALLY
CLOSE TO YOU,
SO IT IS MY BUSINESS.
STAY OUT OF IT, PAM.
I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU'D THINK
JOCK WOULDN'T STAND BY YOU
AT A TIME LIKE THIS.
I DON'T CARE WHAT YOU BELIEVE.
EXCUSE ME.
AS SOON AS YOU'RE
READY, MRS. EWING,
WE'D LIKE TO START THE TESTS.
YES, I'LL... I'LL BE
READY IN A MINUTE.
MY DAUGHTER-IN-LAW
IS JUST LEAVING.
P.A.: MRS. LAVEESY, 1-7-3-6.
MRS. LAVEESY, 17-36.
[TELEPHONE RINGS]
EWING OIL.
CONNIE, IT'S PAM.
IS BOBBY IN, PLEASE?
ELLIE, THIS IS
DR. MITCH ANDRESS.
HE'LL BE DOING THE SURGERY.
HELLO, MRS. EWING.
I'LL TRY TO EXPLAIN
EVERYTHING TO YOU.
THANK YOU.
MAYBE WE'D BETTER WAIT FOR JOCK.
NO, THAT'S ALL RIGHT.
GO AHEAD.
ARE YOU SURE?
PLEASE. TELL ME WHAT
YOU'RE GONNA DO.
THE AREA WHERE THE
CYST WILL BE REMOVED
AND WE'LL HAVE A FROZEN
SECTION DONE TO TEST FOR CANCER.
THEN THERE IS A CHANCE THAT
I MAY NEED A MASTECTOMY?
ELLIE, EVEN IF DR. ANDRESS
DOES FIND A TUMOR,
IT MAY NOT BE MALIGNANT.
WE'D SEND THE TUMOR DOWN TO
THE LAB WHILE YOU'RE ON THE TABLE.
WE CAN TELL VERY QUICKLY.
ELLIE, YOU KNOW, IF
THERE IS MALIGNANCY,
YOU HAVE A CHOICE
OTHER THAN MASTECTOMY:
LUMPECTOMY.
THAT'S WHERE JUST
THE TUMOR IS REMOVED
FOLLOWED BY SPECIAL
RADIATION TREATMENT.
WE'RE GETTING MORE
EXPERIENCED IN THAT AREA.
NO, I DON'T THINK SO.
IF YOU HAVE TO, DO
THE MASTECTOMY.
I KNOW THIS IS VERY
DIFFICULT, MRS. EWING,
BUT I THINK YOU SHOULD
KNOW EVERYTHING.
I DO WHAT IS KNOWN
AS A MODIFIED RADICAL.
I LEAVE THE MUSCLES, WHICH WILL GIVE
YOU BETTER USE OF YOUR ARM LATER,
BUT I DO REMOVE THE LYMPH NODES.
I SEE.
AFTER ABOUT 6 MONTHS, ELLIE,
DEPENDING UPON WHAT HAPPENS,
I'LL HAVE YOU SEE A PLASTIC
SURGEON FOR RECONSTRUCTION.
AS GOOD AS NEW, HARLEN?
NOT EXACTLY, BUT THEY'RE
DOING EXCELLENT WORK,
AND IT WILL BE AN IMPORTANT
PSYCHOLOGICAL BOOST FOR YOU.
ANYTHING ELSE?
ONLY ONE THING:
IF WE FIND THAT WE DO
HAVE TO DO A MASTECTOMY,
DO YOU WANT US TO WAKE
YOU FIRST SO WE CAN TALK,
GIVE YOU A CHANCE TO
THINK ABOUT IT AGAIN?
NO.
I HAVEN'T THOUGHT ABOUT
ANYTHING ELSE FOR WEEKS.
ALL RIGHT, ELLIE.
I'LL NEED YOUR SIGNATURE
ON THESE TWO PAGES.
[SOBBING]
NURSE...
JOCK.
YEAH, WHERE IS SHE?
UH, 302.
GOOD... I WANT TO SEE HER ALONE.
WELL, DID SHE SAY
ANYTHING TO YOU?
NO. SHE JUST DOESN'T
WANT JOCK AROUND.
I DON'T UNDERSTAND IT, BOBBY.
SHE'S BEEN SEDATED, MR. EWING.
THANK YOU.
GOD, I'M SO SORRY, ELLIE.
WHY DIDN'T YOU SAY SOMETHING?
IT MAY ONLY BE A
MINOR OPERATION.
BUT BOBBY SAID
YOU'RE WORRIED THAT...
THEY'D FIND CANCER.
THEY MIGHT.
BUT... WHY KEEP IT FROM ME?
I WAS AFRAID TO TELL YOU.
AFRAID? OF WHAT?
[DOOR OPENS]
SORRY, MR. EWING.
WE HAVE TO TAKE MRS.
EWING INTO SURGERY NOW.
JOCK.
YES, ELLIE?
IF IT'S BAD...
IF THEY FIND CANCER...
WILL YOU LEAVE ME
LIKE YOU LEFT AMANDA?
WELL, I THINK WE
SHOULD GO TO THE ROOM.
I THINK THEY NEED SOME
TIME TOGETHER, BOBBY.
HONEY, I TRIED TO TALK
TO HIM AND HE SHUT ME OUT.
WELL, NEITHER ONE OF THEM
WILL TALK ABOUT THE ARGUMENT.
J.R., DID HE SAY ANYTHING
TO YOU THIS MORNING,
ANY MENTION OF WHAT
THIS FIGHT'S ABOUT?
LEAVE ME ALONE, BOB.
P.A.: DR. MONDONIO,
REPORT TO INTENSIVE CARE.
DR. MONDONIO, REPORT
TO INTENSIVE CARE.
I'M GONNA GET DADDY
A CUP OF COFFEE.
HONEY, I THINK WE
BETTER CALL THE RANCH.
LUCY WILL BE GETTING HOME.
I DON'T WANT HER TO WORRY.
I THINK IT'S BETTER IF I GO
HOME AND TELL HER, BOBBY.
OK. WE'LL CALL YOU AS SOON
AS WE KNOW SOMETHING.
OK.
THIS WHERE I CATCH
THE BUS TO LUBBOCK?
[LAUGHING]
I DON'T BELIEVE YOU.
THERE IS A CRAZY SIDE TO YOU.
YOU BET.
DON'T YOU HAVE ONE?
DO YOU EVER FEEL LIKE,
UH... SCALING REUNION TOWER
OR CLIMBING THE EIFFEL TOWER?
THE OUTSIDE OF IT?
[GIGGLES]
UH, NO, I DON'T THINK I'VE
EVEN THOUGHT ABOUT IT.
WELL, SUE ELLEN, THAT'S
WHAT I'M HERE FOR,
IS TO HELP YOU THINK ABOUT IT.
I WANT TO CUT THAT ROPE THAT'S TYING
YOU SO FIRMLY TO THE GROUND, LADY,
AND I WANT YOU TO FLY.
I WANT YOU TO FLY
JUST AS HIGH AS YOU CAN.
DUSTY, I'M NOT READY TO FLY.
I'M STILL LEARNING HOW TO WALK.
I KNOW YOU'VE BEEN HURT.
REMEMBER I MET YOUR
HUSBAND AT THE RODEO?
WELL, IF IT WAS JUST HIM,
I COULD'VE HANDLED THAT.
SUE ELLEN, IF YOU WANT TO TELL
ME ANYTHING ABOUT IT, I'M HERE,
BUT DON'T THINK YOU HAVE TO
BECAUSE I ACCEPT YOU
JUST THE WAY YOU ARE.
THAT'S WHAT'S IMPORTANT TO ME.
I DON'T KNOW THAT I'M READY
TO TRUST ANOTHER MAN.
NOT YET.
WHY DON'T YOU JUST
UP AND LEAVE J.R.?
HAH, WELL, I DID ONCE,
AND HE GRABBED ME BACK.
WELL, MAYBE YOU NEED SOME HELP.
YOU DON'T KNOW J.R.
HE'LL FIND A WAY
TO BREAK ANY MAN
THAT GETS IN HIS WAY.
WELL, THERE'S NO WAY HE'S
GONNA BREAK ME PHYSICALLY,
AND YOU KEEP FORGETTING I AM
HEIR TO A WHOLE LOT OF MONEY,
IF I WANT IT.
DUSTY, HOLD ON.
WHY DO YOU THINK THAT I'D
LEAVE J.R. FOR YOU ANYWAY?
NOW, WAIT A MINUTE.
I DIDN'T SAY,
"LEAVE J.R. FOR ME,"
BUT IF YOU WANT TO LEAVE,
FOR WHATEVER REASON,
I WANT TO BE THERE TO HELP.
WHY?
BECAUSE I CARE ABOUT YOU.
DUSTY, YOU CAN'T.
YOU DON'T EVEN KNOW ME.
I'M A SNOB, AND I CAN
BE A WITCH AT TIMES
IF I DON'T GET MY OWN WAY.
SUE ELLEN...
YOU DON'T EXPECT ME TO THINK THAT
YOU'RE ALL THAT BAD, NOW DO YOU?
YES.
[MOANS]
NOT NOW.
NOT NOW.
WELL, I'M GONNA WAIT.
I'LL SEE YOU AGAIN SOON.
I JUST CAN'T BELIEVE YOUR MOM
WOULD CHECK INTO A HOSPITAL
FOR SURGERY WITHOUT TELLING ME.
DADDY, DON'T YOU THINK IT'S TIME
THAT YOU LET US
KNOW WHAT'S GOING ON?
I DON'T WANT TO
TALK ABOUT IT, BOBBY.
J.R. CAN TELL YOU IF HE WANTS.
I'LL BE IN THE WAITING ROOM.
YES, SIR.
YOU KNEW ALL ALONG?
IT WAS TOLD TO ME IN CONFIDENCE.
THERE'S NOTHING
UNDERHANDED ABOUT IT.
THAT'S A LITTLE HARD TO
BELIEVE WHEN YOU'RE INVOLVED.
NOW YOU BETTER TELL ME NOW.
DADDY WAS MARRIED AND
DIVORCED BEFORE HE EVER MET MAMA.
I DON'T BELIEVE IT.
IT'S TRUE.
WHEN HE TOLD MAMA,
SHE JUST ABOUT EXPLODED.
AND WHAT I CAN'T BELIEVE IS
THAT HE KEPT THE
SECRET ALL THESE YEARS.
[HORSE WHINNYING]
HI, PAM.
HI.
DO YOU KNOW WHERE SUE ELLEN IS?
I THINK SHE'S OUT RIDING.
LUCY, MISS ELLIE IS IN
DALLAS MEMORIAL HOSPITAL.
WHAT'S WRONG?
SHE'S GOING TO HAVE SURGERY.
WHY?
WELL, SHE'S BEEN CONCERNED
ABOUT A LUMP IN HER BREAST.
DR. DANVERS AND A
COUPLE OF OTHER DOCTORS
HAVE DECIDED IT'S A CYST.
WELL, A CYST ISN'T
DANGEROUS, IS IT?
I DON'T THINK SO, BUT THEY WANT TO
REMOVE IT ANYWAY JUST TO BE SURE.
IS THAT WHY GRANDMA AND
GRANDPA WERE ARGUING LAST NIGHT?
I DON'T KNOW, BABY.
THEY AREN'T TALKIN'.
DO YOU THINK THERE'S
SOMETHING TO WORRY ABOUT, PAM?
I'M GONNA BE HONEST
WITH YOU, LUCY.
MISS ELLIE'S WORRIED THAT IT
MIGHT BE SOMETHING MORE SERIOUS.
NOW I WANT YOU TO BE STRONG
AND BE PREPARED FOR WHATEVER IT IS.
MR. EWING?
YES.
MRS. EWING IS BACK
IN HER OWN ROOM NOW.
DR. DANVERS WOULD
LIKE TO SEE YOU.
OH, THAT'S GOOD.
UH, WOULD YOU
PLEASE TELL MY BOYS?
THEY'RE DOWN
THERE HAVING COFFEE.
HELLO, JOCK.
HARLEN.
HOW IS SHE?
ELLIE WAS RIGHT.
MALIGNANT?
MY GOD.
HER BREAST WAS FULL OF CYSTS.
THERE WAS A SMALL CANCER NEARBY.
IT NEVER REGISTERED
ON THE MAMMOGRAM.
WHAT ARE YOU TELLING ME?
WE HAD TO PERFORM A MASTECTOMY.
JOCK... WHEN ELLIE WAKES UP,
YOU'LL HAVE TO TELL
HER WE TOOK HER BREAST.
CAPTIONING MADE
POSSIBLE BY WARNER BROS.
MISS ELLIE, WHY NOT?
I MAY NEED A MASTECTOMY.
I JUST DON'T THINK HE'LL EVER
BE ABLE TO ACCEPT ME AGAIN.
I ASKED YOU A FEW WEEKS AGO TO
SET UP A TRUST FUND FOR MY EX-WIFE.
I LIED TO YOU, DADDY.
WHY, J.R.?
MAMA... HAVE YOU TOLD HER YET?
YOU DIVORCED A WOMAN
BECAUSE SHE WAS SICK?
IT WAS A LONG TIME AGO.
OVER 40 YEARS, ELLIE.
IF I GET SICK, ARE YOU
GONNA WALK OUT ON ME?
CAPTIONING MADE
POSSIBLE BY WARNER BROS.
HARLEN, IT'S ELLIE EWING.
I'M SORRY TO BOTHER YOU AT HOME,
BUT I... I WONDER IF
YOU COULD SEE ME
IN YOUR OFFICE THIS MORNING.
I KNOW, BUT, UH, I'M WORRIED.
THANKS, HARLEN.
WELL, GOOD MORNING, SWEETHEART.
HOW ABOUT SOME BREAKFAST?
NO, JOCK, I HAD SOME COFFEE.
I'M NOT HUNGRY.
ARE YOU ALL RIGHT?
I'M FINE.
I JUST HAVE TO DO SOME
ERRANDS IN DALLAS THIS MORNING.
WELL, I'M GOING TO
THE OFFICE LATER.
I'LL TAKE YOU.
UH... NO, THAT'S ALL RIGHT.
I'LL GET A LIFT IN WITH PAM.
OK.
THE WELL WAS SPUTTERED IN, J.R.,
AND IT'S A REAL GUSHER.
HMM?
THE CORE IS ALL GRAY SHALE.
WE'VE JUST PUT IN
THE SURFACE PIPE,
AND I'VE JUST CALLED FOR
THE BLOW-UP PREVENTER.
[MOANS]
WHAT TIME IS IT?
I KNEW THAT WOULD
WAKE UP AN OIL MAN.
[MOANS]
IT'S MORNING.
YOU LET ME SLEEP HERE ALL NIGHT?
I DIDN'T HAVE THE HEART...
AND BESIDES, IT WAS NICE.
I TOLD YOU NEVER TO DO THAT.
WHY DIDN'T YOU
WAKE ME UP ANYHOW?
LORD SAKES... WELL,
YOU TOSSED AND TURNED
AND YOU SEEMED SO EXHAUSTED.
WELL, YOU'RE AN EXCITING
YOUNG WOMAN, SUGAR.
IT GETS ME ALL KEYED UP.
THANKS, J.R., BUT THERE
ARE OTHER REASONS
FOR YOUR BEING KEYED UP.
YEAH, WHERE ARE MY CLOTHES?
WHERE ARE THEY AT?
WELL, I PUT A FRESH
SUIT IN THE BATHROOM
AND I'M TAKING LAST
NIGHT'S TO THE CLEANERS.
OH, OK.
I GOT 'EM, I GOT 'EM.
LISTEN, I... I REALLY
APPRECIATE IT,
BUT LET'S NOT DO THIS AGAIN.
WHY? I LIKE WAKING UP
WITH YOU IN THE MORNING.
YEAH, YEAH, I KNOW, I KNOW.
BUT THAT IS NO EXCUSE.
THEY'RE...
J.R., I WISH YOU'D
LET ME HELP YOU.
WELL, YOU'RE DOING
FINE, DARLIN', JUST FINE.
NO, I MEAN I KNOW
HOW WORRIED YOU ARE.
I GOT EVERYTHING UNDER CONTROL.
NOT EXACTLY, J.R.,
CONSIDERING EVERYTHING
EWING OWNS IS MORTGAGED,
INCLUDING SOUTHFORK.
NOTHING FOR YOU TO TROUBLE
YOURSELF ABOUT, DARLIN'.
WELL, I KNOW HOW
CONCERNED YOU ARE
ABOUT UNCLE JOCK FINDING OUT.
MAYBE IF YOU'D TALK TO ME
IT WOULD HELP YOU RELAX.
WELL NOW, KRISTIN,
IF YOU KNOW ABOUT IT
AND I KNOW ABOUT IT,
THEN WHAT HAVE WE
GOT TO TALK ABOUT?
YOU KNOW HOW I'M GONNA RELAX?
IF YOU GET YOUR TAIL OUT OF HERE
AND GET TO THE
OFFICE BEFORE I DO.
GO ON, GO ON.
[CHUCKLES]
THAT WOMAN JUST CANNOT
MAKE A DECENT CUP OF COFFEE.
Bobby: WELL, YOU
PLANNING ON SEEIN'
DONNA AGAIN, OR WHAT?
Ray: WELL, NOT RIGHT AWAY.
I TALKED TO HER ON
THE DAY OF THE RODEO,
TOLD HER I GOT ALL HER LETTERS.
I STILL CAN'T BELIEVE YOU LET
ALL THOSE LETTERS STACK UP
WITHOUT READING
A SINGLE ONE OF 'EM.
WELL, I TELL YOU I HAD NO
IDEA OLD SAM CULVER WAS DYING
WHEN I HEARD SHE AND HIM
WERE GETTING RECONCILED.
I FIGURED SHE JUST WANTED ME
FOR A ROLL IN THE HAY
EVERY ONCE IN AWHILE.
FEELINGS FOR DONNA
GO WAY BEYOND THAT.
WELL, IF THAT'S WHAT YOU
THOUGHT ABOUT DONNA,
YOU DO NOT KNOW YOUR LADIES.
YEAH, I GUESS I WAS
BURNED ONCE TOO OFTEN.
WELL.
THAT SUE ELLEN LEAVING
ALREADY THIS MORNING?
YEAH, I GUESS THE DOCTOR CHANGED
THE TIME OF HER APPOINTMENT.
YEAH, I SAW HER LEAVING
ABOUT THE SAME TIME YESTERDAY
WHEN I WAS OUT
WORKING THOSE CATTLE.
YEAH, WELL, I GOTTA GET BACK.
I'LL SEE YOU LATER.
YEAH, I'LL GET THIS GEAR IN.
Harlen: THE MAMMOGRAM DOES SHOW
WHAT MIGHT BE CYSTS, ELLIE,
EXACTLY LIKE THE LAST ONE.
BUT I'VE GONE OVER IT VERY
CAREFULLY WITH MY RADIOLOGIST
AND THERE IS NO SIGN ON THE
MAMMOGRAM OF CANCER IN YOUR BREAST.
I'M BEGINNING TO FEEL
LIKE A HYPOCHONDRIAC...
BUT I FELT A LUMP.
I KNOW, ELLIE, BUT MOST
LUMPS ARE NOT CANCEROUS.
IN SELF-EXAMINATION YOU
MIGHT FEEL A LUMPY AREA
THAT'S PERSISTENT AND RECURRING,
BUT IT'S A CHANGE
IN THE BREAST TISSUE
THAT WE WANT TO
BE ON THE ALERT FOR.
BUT, HARLEN, WHAT I
FELT WAS A CHANGE.
ELLIE, SINCE THE LAST
TESTS ARE NEGATIVE,
I'M NOT GOING TO RUSH YOU
INTO SURGERY ON
THAT KIND OF EVIDENCE.
WHAT ABOUT THE DISCHARGE?
MOST DISCHARGES ARE BENIGN.
THEN THERE'S NOTHING TO DO.
OH, NO, NO.
THE FIRST THING IS TO
TAKE A SAMPLE OF THE FLUID,
WHICH WE'LL DO BEFORE
YOU LEAVE HERE TODAY,
AND HAVE THE LAB DO A PAP TEST.
ANYTHING ELSE?
YES, CONTINUE WITH THE
SELF-EXAMINATION ON A REGULAR BASIS,
AND I'LL CALL YOU WITH
THE RESULTS OF THE TEST.
ALL RIGHT.
ANYTHING ELSE, MRS. EWING?
UH, NO, JUST THE CHECK, MITZI.
Connie: NO, MR. HANSON,
J.R. ISN'T IN YET.
YES, I'LL HAVE HIM
CALL YOU FIRST THING.
GOOD MORNING, CONNIE.
MORNING.
SORRY I'M LATE.
IT'S BEEN ONE OF THOSE MORNINGS.
IS, UH, J.R. IN YET?
NO, J.R. ISN'T IN.
LOYAL HANSON'S CALLED TWICE,
WANTS TO TALK
TO HIM FIRST THING.
WELL, DID HE SAY WHAT HE WANTED?
NEVER DOES.
MORNING, MR. EWING.
MORNING, LADIES.
GOOD MORNING, UNCLE JOCK.
J.R. IN?
NOT YET.
GOOD MORNING, CONNIE.
J.R.
OH, HELLO, DAD!
J.R.
I WAS HOPING TO
HAVE A LITTLE CHANCE
TO TALK TO YOU LAST NIGHT.
WELL, I HAD A LONG
MEETING WITH THE BOYS,
AND I WAS TOO TIRED TO
DRIVE OUT TO THE RANCH.
CONNIE, DID YOU MAKE
THE COFFEE THIS MORNING?
YES, I DID.
OH, GOOD, GOOD.
FETCH US A COUPLE OF
CUPS, WILL YOU, DARLIN'?
DAD? YEAH.
YOU KNOW THAT FAIRVIEW HOTEL
IS STILL THE BEST
DAMN HOTEL IN DALLAS.
WELL, I'LL TELL YOU
SOMETHING, J.R.,
I DIDN'T DRIVE ALL THE WAY
DOWN HERE TO TALK ABOUT
WHERE YOU SPENT THE NIGHT.
WHAT'S ON YOUR MIND, SIR?
MR. HANSON CALLED.
THANK YOU.
I'LL TAKE CARE OF IT.
YOU KNOW, SHE HAS
TURNED OUT TO BE
THE BEST SECRETARY
I'VE EVER HAD.
UM, WAS THAT LOYAL HANSON?
YES, AS A MATTER OF FACT IT IS.
THE FOREIGN OIL EXPERT?
MM-HMM.
YEAH, HE'S BEEN
AFTER ME TO INVEST
IN SOME OVERSEAS
STUFF, I DON'T KNOW.
WHAT ABOUT THE
IMPORT QUOTA, J.R.?
WELL, YOU KNOW HOW IT IS, DAD.
IF YOU CAN FIND IT OVER THERE,
YOU CAN SELL IT OVER THERE.
BIG WORLD.
YEAH.
J.R., WHAT ABOUT THOSE
PAPERS I'M SUPPOSED TO SIGN?
I ASKED YOU A FEW
WEEKS AGO TO SET UP
A TRUST FUND FOR MY EX-WIFE.
WELL, YOU'RE
FEELING FINE NOW, DAD,
AND YOU'VE BEEN SENDING
CHECKS FOR AMANDA'S CARE
TO THAT INSTITUTION FOR YEARS.
I JUST DON'T INTEND
TO RUSH, THAT'S ALL.
I'LL TELL YOU WHAT, J.R.
YOU GET ON THAT INTERCOM.
TELL KRISTIN TO SEND
ACCOUNTANTS OVER HERE.
TELL HER TO GET A HOLD OF
MY LAWYER HARV SMITHFIELD
TO GET OVER HERE RIGHT AWAY.
I'LL TAKE CARE OF
THIS SITUATION MYSELF.
WELL, I TOLD YOU
IT'S IN THE WORKS.
WELL, IS IT?
I'D LIKE TO SEE THE PAPERS.
I LIED TO YOU, DADDY.
THAT'S THE FIRST TIME.
I SWEAR IT.
WHY, J.R.?
MAMA.
IT'S NONE OF MY BUSINESS
YOU WERE MARRIED BEFORE, DAD.
BUT I CAN'T HELP
FEELING AS IF I...
I'M DOING SOMETHING
BEHIND HER BACK.
HAVE YOU TOLD HER YET?
NO, IT JUST, UH...
WELL, IT JUST NEVER SEEMED
THE RIGHT TIME, THAT'S ALL.
NOW IF YOU WANT ME
TO GO AHEAD WITH THIS
WITHOUT TELLING HER, I'LL DO IT.
I WILL.
NO.
I'LL TELL HER TONIGHT.
WHAT DO YOU DO NOW?
KEEP GOING BACK FOR
REGULAR CHECKUPS.
WELL, THAT DOESN'T
SOUND TOO DIFFICULT.
I DON'T WANT TO TELL JOCK.
MISS ELLIE, WHY NOT?
HE GETS BETTER LOOKING
AS HE GETS OLDER...
TALL AND LEAN.
THERE'S NOT AN
OUNCE OF FAT ON HIM.
I ADMIRE HIS BEAUTY.
I KNOW...
HE STILL HAS AN EYE FOR
A GOOD-LOOKING WOMAN.
HOW CAN I TELL HIM THAT...
THAT I MAY NEED A MASTECTOMY?
IT'LL BE ALL RIGHT.
HE'LL TURN AWAY FROM ME.
I KNOW HE WILL.
NO, HE WON'T.
I JUST DON'T THINK HE'LL EVER
BE ABLE TO ACCEPT ME AGAIN...
AND I DON'T KNOW
IF I'LL BE ABLE TO...
TO FACE THE POSSIBILITY OF THAT.
YOU ONCE TOLD ME
THAT YOUR MARRIAGE TO
JOCK WAS BASED ON HONESTY.
NOW MORE THAN EVER...
YOU'VE GOT TO TRUST
YOUR LOVE FOR EACH OTHER...
AND THAT HONESTY.
WELL, I...
I GUESS IT'S WHAT I
WANTED TO DO ALL ALONG.
I'LL TRY AND TELL HIM TONIGHT.
Ellie: JOCK, I... I THINK
YOU'VE STIRRED
THAT DRINK LONG ENOUGH.
YEAH, I GUESS YOU'RE RIGHT.
[COUGHS]
MISS ELLIE, WHEN YOU'VE BEEN
MARRIED AS LONG AS WE HAVE,
YOU... YOU KIND OF SENSE
WHEN SOMETHING'S WRONG.
YES, I GUESS WE'RE BEYOND
KEEPING THINGS FROM EACH OTHER.
I COULD SEE IT IN YOUR FACE.
I WANTED TO TALK, JOCK.
I GUESS YOU PICKED
IT UP FROM ME.
THE OTHER WAY AROUND.
WELL, I... I NEVER REALLY
KNEW HOW TO TELL YOU...
BUT I MUST HAVE BEEN ON THE
VERGE OF IT A HUNDRED TIMES.
TELL ME WHAT?
ABOUT AMANDA.
AMANDA?
HERE, I WAIT 40
YEARS TO TELL YOU...
AND WOULDN'T YOU KNOW IT
ALL COMES OUT BACKWARDS.
JOCK, I DON'T UNDERSTAND
WHAT YOU'RE SAYING.
ELLIE, I'M TRYING TO TELL
YOU ABOUT MY FIRST WIFE.
YOUR FIRST WIFE?
YES.
I WAS MARRIED AND
DIVORCED BEFORE I MET YOU.
HER NAME WAS... IS AMANDA.
WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?
WELL, WHEN I, UH...
WENT HUNTING WITH THE BOYS A
FEW WEEKS AGO AND GOT SHOT,
I DIDN'T KNOW WHETHER I
WAS GONNA MAKE IT OR NOT,
I REALIZED I HAD AN
OBLIGATION TO HER.
OBLIGATION?!
MISS ELLIE, SHE'S
NOT A WELL WOMAN.
SHE HAD A COMPLETE
MENTAL BREAKDOWN
SHORTLY AFTER WE WERE MARRIED.
THE DOCTORS FINALLY
ADVISED DIVORCE.
I PAID ALL OF HER
SANITARIUM BILLS.
I FIGURED THAT IF
ANYTHING HAPPENED TO ME,
THEY... THERE OUGHT
TO BE SOME SORT
OF A TRUST FUND TO
CONTINUE THOSE PAYMENTS.
BUT I HAD TO TALK TO YOU FIRST.
YOU DIVORCED A WOMAN
BECAUSE SHE WAS SICK?
NO, MISS ELLIE.
IT WAS ON DOCTORS' ADVICE.
AND YOU KEPT THIS
FROM ME... ALL THIS TIME?
I WANTED TO TELL YOU,
MISS ELLIE, BELIEVE ME.
I DIDN'T WANT TO
LOSE YOU TO DIGGER.
I WASN'T SO SURE OF
MYSELF IN THOSE DAYS.
WHAT ELSE HAVEN'T
YOU TOLD ME, JOCK?
WHAT ELSE?
NOTHING.
IT WAS A LONG TIME AGO.
OVER 40 YEARS, ELLIE.
A LONG TIME AGO, YOU
WALKED OUT ON A SICK WOMAN.
IF I GET SICK, ARE YOU
GONNA WALK OUT ON ME?
Jock: MISS ELLIE,
COME BACK HERE!
WHAT DO YOU THINK
THAT WAS ALL ABOUT?
I'VE NEVER SEEN GRANDMA
SO ANGRY BEFORE.
WHAT WERE THEY SAYING?
I DON'T KNOW, HONEY.
J.R., DO YOU KNOW
ANYTHING ABOUT IT?
GOT ME.
DADDY, IS THERE
ANYTHING I CAN DO?
NO, NOT A DAMN THING.
IS MISS ELLIE STILL
IN THE BEDROOM?
YEAH, APPARENTLY.
DADDY'S STILL DOWN IN THE
DEN SMOKING CIGARETTES
LIKE HE'S TRYING FOR
ANOTHER HEART ATTACK.
BOBBY, I'M AFRAID I
MAY BE RESPONSIBLE.
I HAD LUNCH WITH
MISS ELLIE TODAY,
AND SHE TOLD ME SOME
THINGS SHE HADN'T TOLD JOCK,
AND I SAID SHE SHOULDN'T
KEEP ANYTHING FROM HIM.
WHAT THINGS?
HONEY, WHAT COULD BE SO BAD
THAT IT WOULD MAKE MOM
AND DADDY FIGHT LIKE THAT?
WELL, I DON'T
KNOW, BUT I DO KNOW
THAT SHE WAS SO ON EDGE THAT
ANYTHING COULD HAVE SET HER OFF.
BUT WHY?
BOBBY, MISS ELLIE HAS
A LUMP IN HER BREAST.
OH, MY GOD.
A TUMOR?
DR. DANVERS DOESN'T THINK SO,
BUT MISS ELLIE
SEEMS SO SURE IT IS.
WELL, THEN WE'LL
GET ANOTHER OPINION.
APPARENTLY, THEY'VE DONE
ALL THE TESTS THEY CAN.
NOW IT'S JUST A MATTER
OF WAITING IT OUT
AND MISS ELLIE GETTING
FREQUENT CHECKUPS.
PAMELA, SOMETHING ELSE
HAPPENED IN THAT DEN TONIGHT,
SOMETHING WE DON'T
KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT.
I DON'T KNOW.
I JUST KNOW HOW
WORRIED MISS ELLIE WAS
ABOUT THE WAY JOCK
WOULD TAKE THE NEWS.
WELL, I DON'T UNDERSTAND THAT.
DADDY LOVES HER. SHE KNOWS THAT.
SOME WOMEN WORRY THAT IF
THEY AREN'T PERFECT IN ALL WAYS,
THEY CAN'T KEEP THEIR MAN.
WELL, MAYBE IT'S TIME
THAT THEY UNDERSTOOD
THAT A MAN CAN LOVE
A WOMAN SO MUCH
THAT NOTHING MATTERS
AS LONG AS THEY'RE TOGETHER.
THAT WAS QUITE AN EXPLOSION
FROM MISS ELLIE
LAST NIGHT, WASN'T IT?
HMM, LOOK HERE.
MY FAVORITE TIE'S
GOT A SPOT ON IT.
I DON'T THINK I HAVE EVER
HEARD HER RAISE HER VOICE
TO JOCK LIKE THAT EVER BEFORE.
AH, IT'LL BLOW OVER.
HERE'S ONE WITH A RIP IN IT.
I TELL YOU, THEY DON'T MAKE
TIES THE WAY THEY USED TO.
DOGGONE IT.
YOU KNOW WHAT IT'S
ALL ABOUT, DON'T YOU?
WHAT EVER GAVE
YOU THAT IDEA, HONEY?
THE WAY YOU AVOIDED
ANSWERING BOBBY LAST NIGHT.
WELL, YOU'VE BECOME
QUITE A LITTLE ANALYST
SINCE YOU STARTED
GOING TO DR. ELLBY.
IT'S SERIOUS, ISN'T IT, J.R.?
AH.
NEVER MIND, YOU
WON'T TELL ME ANYWAY.
I CAN JUST IMAGINE
WHAT WOULD HAPPEN
TO YOUR PRECIOUS EWING EMPIRE
IF YOUR MOM AND
DADDY WERE TO SPLIT UP.
YOU'D HAVE TO CHOOSE BETWEEN
SOUTHFORK AND EWING OIL,
AND I CAN'T IMAGINE YOU WANTING
TO GIVE UP A PIECE OF
EITHER ONE OF THEM.
NOW HANG ON, SUE ELLEN.
BEFORE YOU HAVE MY
MAMA AND PAPA DIVORCED
AND HALFWAY THROUGH
A PROPERTY SETTLEMENT,
JUST REMEMBER YOU'RE ONLY HERE
'CAUSE IT PLEASES
MY MAMA AND PAPA.
[CHUCKLES]
SUE ELLEN, AFTER YOUR
LITTLE THERAPY SESSION,
I WANT YOU TO STOP BY THE STORE
AND GET ME A COUPLE A
DOZEN OF THESE THINGS.
[BELL RINGS]
Man: ELLEN, NUMBER 3 UP.
[MAN LAUGHS]
Woman: COFFEE, MRS. EWING?
Sue Ellen: UH, YES, THANK YOU.
HERE YOU ARE.
THANK YOU.
SUE ELLEN.
HELLO.
YOU CARE FOR SOME COMPANY?
WHY NOT?
HELLO, DARLIN'.
UH, LET ME HAVE A COFFEE BLACK
AND SCRAMBLE UP 6 EGGS
WITH ALL THE TRIMMINGS.
6 EGGS?
THE USUAL, MRS. EWING?
UH, NO, THANK YOU, MITZI.
JUST THE COFFEE.
RIGHT.
DO YOU KNOW I'VE BEEN IN
HERE A NUMBER OF TIMES?
YES.
YOU KNOW, WE HAD SUCH
A NICE CONVERSATION
AT THE RODEO AND, UH...
I WANTED TO TALK TO YOU AGAIN,
BUT, UH, RIGHT NOW I
FEEL A LITTLE AWKWARD.
WELL, YOU SHOULDN'T.
I DIDN'T KNOW HOW
TO GET A HOLD OF YOU.
I DIDN'T WANT TO CALL THE RANCH.
YOU COULD'VE.
IT'S NOT AS IF YOU'RE AN
ORDINARY RANCH HAND.
YOUR FAMILY DOES OWN
THE SOUTHERN CROSS RANCH.
IT MAKES YOU, UH, AN
EQUAL OF THE EWINGS.
I WASN'T PLANNING ON
VISITING WITH THE EWINGS.
IT'S YOU I WANTED TO SEE.
[BELL RINGS]
UH, DUSTY, I THINK YOU'RE
GETTING THE WRONG IDEA.
AM I?
HERE YOU ARE.
MORE COFFEE, MRS. EWING?
NO, THANK YOU, MITZI.
I HAVE TO GO NOW.
STAY AND KEEP ME COMPANY.
I HAVE AN APPOINTMENT IN DALLAS.
JUST SPARE ME A FEW MINUTES.
WELL, I DON'T THINK I SHOULD.
YOU HAVEN'T ASKED ME WHY I
WENT TO WORK AT THE FRONT RANCH
INSTEAD OF JUST MOVING
ON LIKE I USUALLY DO.
I DIDN'T EVEN THINK ABOUT IT.
WANT SOME OF THESE EGGS?
I NEVER EAT 6 EGGS.
THEN WHY DID YOU ORDER THEM?
I GUESS THE SIGHT OF
YOU MADE ME HUNGRY.
Alan: THAT LOOKS GOOD, BOB.
PULL YOUR END DOWN
A LITTLE BIT THOUGH.
PERFECT, PERFECT.
THAT'S GREAT.
HI, CARRIE.
HI. DO YOU APPROVE, MR. BEAM?
OH YEAH, THAT LOOKS
GREAT... AND LISTEN, IT'S ALAN.
WE'RE VERY INFORMAL
AROUND HERE, ALL RIGHT?
THANK YOU.
YEAH, THANK YOU.
[BUZZ]
Connie: J.R., YOU'RE WANTED
ON THE PRIVATE LINE.
[CAR HORN BEEPS]
J.R. EWING HERE.
WELL, WE'VE ROUNDED UP A
BUNCH OF EAGER VOLUNTEERS,
PRINTED THE LEAFLETS.
WE'RE OPEN FOR BUSINESS, J.R.
GOOD.
MISSED YOU AT DINNER.
I WASN'T UP TO A FAMILY DINNER.
MAMA, WOULD IT HELP IF WE TALKED
ABOUT THE PROBLEM
BETWEEN YOU AND DADDY?
THANKS, BOBBY.
I DON'T WANT TO.
NOT NOW.
PAM TOLD ME ABOUT YOUR
VISITS TO DR. DANVERS.
IS THAT WHAT THE
FIGHT WAS ABOUT?
NO.
SHE TOLD ME YOU
WERE GONNA TELL HIM.
BOBBY, I, UH, I TRY NOT TO PRY
INTO YOURS AND PAM'S AFFAIRS.
I WISH YOU'D GIVE ME
THE SAME CONSIDERATION.
[TELEPHONE RINGS]
[RING]
HELLO?
Harlen: ELLIE, THIS IS HARLEN.
THE RESULTS OF THE
PAP TEST ARE SUSPICIOUS.
I WANT TO SEE YOU.
OH, GOOD, PAM.
YOU'RE STILL HERE.
GOOD MORNING.
SOMETHING I CAN DO FOR YOU?
UH, COULD YOU DRIVE ME INTO
DALLAS AGAIN THIS MORNING?
WELL, SURE.
DR. DANVERS' OFFICE?
NO.
DALLAS MEMORIAL HOSPITAL.
[SIGHS]
AM I BORING YOU, DR. ELLBY?
[SIGHS]
WHY DO YOU THINK
YOU'RE BORING ME?
ANSWER A QUESTION
WITH A QUESTION,
THAT'S WHAT I HATE ABOUT YOU.
NO, I GUESS I DON'T.
HOW CAN I HATE YOU WHEN I DON'T
EVEN KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT YOU?
THERE'S GOT TO BE A
REASON FOR ANGER.
IT JUST CAN'T
HAPPEN IN A VACUUM.
YOU'RE RIGHT, BUT YOU
CAN EXPERIENCE AN EMOTION
WITHOUT ALWAYS KNOWING WHY
OR HAVING IT JUSTIFIED.
I GUESS SO.
BUT I'M SURE THAT YOU
HAVE A LOT OF PATIENTS
THAT ARE MUCH MORE
INTERESTING THAN I AM.
OH?
MY HUSBAND SAID THAT OF ALL
THE PSYCHIATRISTS IN DALLAS,
YOU WERE THE ONE MOST
LIKELY TO GET ME INTO BED.
[LAUGHS]
IS THAT WHY YOU'RE
ANGRY WITH ME?
BECAUSE I HAVEN'T
TRIED TO SEDUCE YOU?
I DON'T WANT TO BE SEDUCED
BY YOU OR ANYBODY ELSE.
[SIGHS]
MAY I HAVE A DRINK
OF WATER, PLEASE?
OF COURSE.
HELP YOURSELF.
YOU KNOW, YOU'RE NOT
MUCH OF A GENTLEMAN.
YOU COULD'VE GOTTEN
ME THE WATER INSTEAD
OF HAVING TO GET IT MYSELF.
SUE ELLEN, DON'T
YOU WANT TO TELL ME
WHAT'S REALLY ON YOUR MIND?
NOTHING SPECIAL.
I MET A MAN.
I DON'T KNOW WHY I'M MAKING
SUCH A BIG DEAL ABOUT IT.
I HARDLY EVEN KNOW THIS MAN.
I SPOKE TO HIM AT
THE EWING RODEO
AND AGAIN YESTERDAY
AT A COFFEE SHOP.
ACTUALLY, I'D GO
INTO THE COFFEE SHOP
EVERY MORNING FOR BREAKFAST
HOPING THAT I'D MEET HIM.
HE WANTS TO SEE ME AGAIN
AND I'M AFRAID TO SEE HIM.
I KNOW HE WANTS ME
TO GO TO BED WITH HIM.
I DON'T... I DON'T KNOW
WHAT'S THE MATTER.
I... I FEEL SO COLD INSIDE.
I'VE NO DESIRE FOR SEX.
AND I WANT TO SEE HIM AGAIN,
BUT THEN MAYBE I
SHOULDN'T SEE HIM AGAIN.
IT'S NOT SURPRISING THAT YOU'RE
TURNED OFF SEXUALLY RIGHT NOW.
YOU NEED TIME FOR
YOUR WOUNDS TO HEAL.
YOU KNOW, WE'VE NEVER EVEN
DISCUSSED HOW YOU REALLY FEEL
ABOUT AN EXTRA-MARITAL AFFAIR.
DOES IT OFFEND YOU?
WELL, IT DOESN'T SEEM
TO BE BOTHERING J.R.
SUE ELLEN, YOU'RE NOT J.R.,
AND YOU'VE ALREADY LEARNED
IN YOUR AFFAIR WITH CLIFF
WHAT HAPPENS TO YOU WHEN
YOU FIGHT FIRE WITH FIRE.
IN OTHER WORDS, UH,
I SHOULD BE CAREFUL.
JUST TRY AND BE SUE ELLEN.
WELL, I'M AFRAID I... I DON'T
EVEN KNOW WHO SHE IS YET.
I HAVE A VERY COMFORTABLE
POSITION WITH SMITHFIELD BENNETT.
I WOULDN'T BE MAKING WAVES
IF I DIDN'T THINK YOU COULD WIN.
I HEARD ABOUT
YOUR FIGHT WITH J.R.
MY DAD TOLD ME.
I JUST DON'T QUITE UNDERSTAND
WHAT KIND OF BIRDSEED
YOU'RE TRYING TO HAND ME.
YOU KNOW I'M OUT TO DESTROY HIM.
UNLESS, OF COURSE, YOU WANT
TO JUMP ON THE BANDWAGON
AND TAKE A FEW CHOPS
WITH YOUR OWN LITTLE AX.
I WANT TO HIT HIM WHERE IT HURTS
AND I FIGURE YOU'RE
THE ONE WHO CAN PAINT
THE TARGET ON THE RIGHT PLACE,
BUT THAT'S NOT MY ONLY MOTIVE.
OH?
VENGEANCE IS STUPID UNLESS
YOU MAKE SOMETHING ON THE DEAL.
WELL, YOU SAY YOU'RE SOLID
WITH SMITHFIELD AND BENNETT, HUH?
WELL, AT 60,000 NOW,
MAYBE 100,000 IN A
COUPLE OF YEARS.
I'M VERY GOOD AT
WHAT I DO, CLIFF.
DO YOU MIND IF I CALL YOU CLIFF?
YOU JUST DID.
I LIKE MONEY WELL ENOUGH.
DON'T GET ME WRONG, BUT, UH,
I'M ALSO YOUNG ENOUGH
TO WANNA MAKE MY MARK.
HOW DO YOU INTEND TO DO THAT?
BY CLIMBING RIGHT TO THE TOP,
HOLDING FIRMLY
ONTO YOUR SHIRTTAILS.
OH, HA HA HA.
WAIT A MINUTE.
YOU KNOW, YOU SEEM TO BE
OVERLOOKING ONE VERY IMPORTANT FACT.
I'M NOT RUNNING FOR
OFFICE, ANY OFFICE.
CLIFF, YOU STAND FOR THE THINGS
THE PEOPLE IN
YOUR DISTRICT WANT.
IT'S A NATURAL.
I WANT YOU TO ENDORSE THE "DRAFT
BARNES FOR CONGRESS" MOVEMENT.
NO, CAN'T DO THAT.
HERE'S A LIST OF PEOPLE
AND ORGANIZATIONS
THAT ARE LINING UP TO BACK YOU.
IT'S FLATTERING.
YOU'VE BEEN VERY BUSY.
OH, I DIDN'T HAVE TO DO MUCH.
YOU'VE GOT PLENTY OF SUPPORT.
I JUST HAD TO ORGANIZE IT.
I'M IMPRESSED.
CLIFF, ARE YOU GONNA STOP ME?
NO.
THAT'S ALL I NEED.
AS LONG AS YOU DON'T FIGHT ME,
I'M GONNA MAKE YOU A WINNER.
PAM, YOU DIDN'T HAVE
TO COME UP HERE.
I DON'T WANT YOU
TO BE LATE FOR WORK.
OH, DON'T WORRY.
I SPOKE TO LIZ.
I'M TAKING THE DAY OFF.
PAM, THAT'S NOT NECESSARY.
I HAVE SOME TESTS TO MAKE,
AND THEY'RE JUST
GONNA REMOVE THE CYST.
MISS ELLIE, I KNOW YOU'RE
EXPECTING IT TO BE MORE THAN THAT,
BUT EVEN IF IT ISN'T, YOU STILL HAVE
TO SPEND THE NIGHT IN THE HOSPITAL.
NOW DON'T YOU THINK YOU SHOULD
CALL JOCK AND LET HIM KNOW?
NO.
HOW DO YOU EXPECT TO SPEND
THE NIGHT AWAY FROM SOUTHFORK
WITHOUT JOCK FINDING
OUT YOU'RE IN THE HOSPITAL?
THE MAN'S GONNA
WORRY HIMSELF SICK.
DON'T YOU THINK YOU SHOULD
BE THE ONE TO TELL HIM?
PAM, I APPRECIATE
YOUR CONCERN FOR ME,
BUT WHAT I TELL OR DO
NOT TELL MY HUSBAND
IS NONE OF YOUR BUSINESS.
WELL, I'M SORRY,
BUT I FEEL ESPECIALLY
CLOSE TO YOU,
SO IT IS MY BUSINESS.
STAY OUT OF IT, PAM.
I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU'D THINK
JOCK WOULDN'T STAND BY YOU
AT A TIME LIKE THIS.
I DON'T CARE WHAT YOU BELIEVE.
EXCUSE ME.
AS SOON AS YOU'RE
READY, MRS. EWING,
WE'D LIKE TO START THE TESTS.
YES, I'LL... I'LL BE
READY IN A MINUTE.
MY DAUGHTER-IN-LAW
IS JUST LEAVING.
P.A.: MRS. LAVEESY, 1-7-3-6.
MRS. LAVEESY, 17-36.
[TELEPHONE RINGS]
EWING OIL.
CONNIE, IT'S PAM.
IS BOBBY IN, PLEASE?
ELLIE, THIS IS
DR. MITCH ANDRESS.
HE'LL BE DOING THE SURGERY.
HELLO, MRS. EWING.
I'LL TRY TO EXPLAIN
EVERYTHING TO YOU.
THANK YOU.
MAYBE WE'D BETTER WAIT FOR JOCK.
NO, THAT'S ALL RIGHT.
GO AHEAD.
ARE YOU SURE?
PLEASE. TELL ME WHAT
YOU'RE GONNA DO.
THE AREA WHERE THE
CYST WILL BE REMOVED
AND WE'LL HAVE A FROZEN
SECTION DONE TO TEST FOR CANCER.
THEN THERE IS A CHANCE THAT
I MAY NEED A MASTECTOMY?
ELLIE, EVEN IF DR. ANDRESS
DOES FIND A TUMOR,
IT MAY NOT BE MALIGNANT.
WE'D SEND THE TUMOR DOWN TO
THE LAB WHILE YOU'RE ON THE TABLE.
WE CAN TELL VERY QUICKLY.
ELLIE, YOU KNOW, IF
THERE IS MALIGNANCY,
YOU HAVE A CHOICE
OTHER THAN MASTECTOMY:
LUMPECTOMY.
THAT'S WHERE JUST
THE TUMOR IS REMOVED
FOLLOWED BY SPECIAL
RADIATION TREATMENT.
WE'RE GETTING MORE
EXPERIENCED IN THAT AREA.
NO, I DON'T THINK SO.
IF YOU HAVE TO, DO
THE MASTECTOMY.
I KNOW THIS IS VERY
DIFFICULT, MRS. EWING,
BUT I THINK YOU SHOULD
KNOW EVERYTHING.
I DO WHAT IS KNOWN
AS A MODIFIED RADICAL.
I LEAVE THE MUSCLES, WHICH WILL GIVE
YOU BETTER USE OF YOUR ARM LATER,
BUT I DO REMOVE THE LYMPH NODES.
I SEE.
AFTER ABOUT 6 MONTHS, ELLIE,
DEPENDING UPON WHAT HAPPENS,
I'LL HAVE YOU SEE A PLASTIC
SURGEON FOR RECONSTRUCTION.
AS GOOD AS NEW, HARLEN?
NOT EXACTLY, BUT THEY'RE
DOING EXCELLENT WORK,
AND IT WILL BE AN IMPORTANT
PSYCHOLOGICAL BOOST FOR YOU.
ANYTHING ELSE?
ONLY ONE THING:
IF WE FIND THAT WE DO
HAVE TO DO A MASTECTOMY,
DO YOU WANT US TO WAKE
YOU FIRST SO WE CAN TALK,
GIVE YOU A CHANCE TO
THINK ABOUT IT AGAIN?
NO.
I HAVEN'T THOUGHT ABOUT
ANYTHING ELSE FOR WEEKS.
ALL RIGHT, ELLIE.
I'LL NEED YOUR SIGNATURE
ON THESE TWO PAGES.
[SOBBING]
NURSE...
JOCK.
YEAH, WHERE IS SHE?
UH, 302.
GOOD... I WANT TO SEE HER ALONE.
WELL, DID SHE SAY
ANYTHING TO YOU?
NO. SHE JUST DOESN'T
WANT JOCK AROUND.
I DON'T UNDERSTAND IT, BOBBY.
SHE'S BEEN SEDATED, MR. EWING.
THANK YOU.
GOD, I'M SO SORRY, ELLIE.
WHY DIDN'T YOU SAY SOMETHING?
IT MAY ONLY BE A
MINOR OPERATION.
BUT BOBBY SAID
YOU'RE WORRIED THAT...
THEY'D FIND CANCER.
THEY MIGHT.
BUT... WHY KEEP IT FROM ME?
I WAS AFRAID TO TELL YOU.
AFRAID? OF WHAT?
[DOOR OPENS]
SORRY, MR. EWING.
WE HAVE TO TAKE MRS.
EWING INTO SURGERY NOW.
JOCK.
YES, ELLIE?
IF IT'S BAD...
IF THEY FIND CANCER...
WILL YOU LEAVE ME
LIKE YOU LEFT AMANDA?
WELL, I THINK WE
SHOULD GO TO THE ROOM.
I THINK THEY NEED SOME
TIME TOGETHER, BOBBY.
HONEY, I TRIED TO TALK
TO HIM AND HE SHUT ME OUT.
WELL, NEITHER ONE OF THEM
WILL TALK ABOUT THE ARGUMENT.
J.R., DID HE SAY ANYTHING
TO YOU THIS MORNING,
ANY MENTION OF WHAT
THIS FIGHT'S ABOUT?
LEAVE ME ALONE, BOB.
P.A.: DR. MONDONIO,
REPORT TO INTENSIVE CARE.
DR. MONDONIO, REPORT
TO INTENSIVE CARE.
I'M GONNA GET DADDY
A CUP OF COFFEE.
HONEY, I THINK WE
BETTER CALL THE RANCH.
LUCY WILL BE GETTING HOME.
I DON'T WANT HER TO WORRY.
I THINK IT'S BETTER IF I GO
HOME AND TELL HER, BOBBY.
OK. WE'LL CALL YOU AS SOON
AS WE KNOW SOMETHING.
OK.
THIS WHERE I CATCH
THE BUS TO LUBBOCK?
[LAUGHING]
I DON'T BELIEVE YOU.
THERE IS A CRAZY SIDE TO YOU.
YOU BET.
DON'T YOU HAVE ONE?
DO YOU EVER FEEL LIKE,
UH... SCALING REUNION TOWER
OR CLIMBING THE EIFFEL TOWER?
THE OUTSIDE OF IT?
[GIGGLES]
UH, NO, I DON'T THINK I'VE
EVEN THOUGHT ABOUT IT.
WELL, SUE ELLEN, THAT'S
WHAT I'M HERE FOR,
IS TO HELP YOU THINK ABOUT IT.
I WANT TO CUT THAT ROPE THAT'S TYING
YOU SO FIRMLY TO THE GROUND, LADY,
AND I WANT YOU TO FLY.
I WANT YOU TO FLY
JUST AS HIGH AS YOU CAN.
DUSTY, I'M NOT READY TO FLY.
I'M STILL LEARNING HOW TO WALK.
I KNOW YOU'VE BEEN HURT.
REMEMBER I MET YOUR
HUSBAND AT THE RODEO?
WELL, IF IT WAS JUST HIM,
I COULD'VE HANDLED THAT.
SUE ELLEN, IF YOU WANT TO TELL
ME ANYTHING ABOUT IT, I'M HERE,
BUT DON'T THINK YOU HAVE TO
BECAUSE I ACCEPT YOU
JUST THE WAY YOU ARE.
THAT'S WHAT'S IMPORTANT TO ME.
I DON'T KNOW THAT I'M READY
TO TRUST ANOTHER MAN.
NOT YET.
WHY DON'T YOU JUST
UP AND LEAVE J.R.?
HAH, WELL, I DID ONCE,
AND HE GRABBED ME BACK.
WELL, MAYBE YOU NEED SOME HELP.
YOU DON'T KNOW J.R.
HE'LL FIND A WAY
TO BREAK ANY MAN
THAT GETS IN HIS WAY.
WELL, THERE'S NO WAY HE'S
GONNA BREAK ME PHYSICALLY,
AND YOU KEEP FORGETTING I AM
HEIR TO A WHOLE LOT OF MONEY,
IF I WANT IT.
DUSTY, HOLD ON.
WHY DO YOU THINK THAT I'D
LEAVE J.R. FOR YOU ANYWAY?
NOW, WAIT A MINUTE.
I DIDN'T SAY,
"LEAVE J.R. FOR ME,"
BUT IF YOU WANT TO LEAVE,
FOR WHATEVER REASON,
I WANT TO BE THERE TO HELP.
WHY?
BECAUSE I CARE ABOUT YOU.
DUSTY, YOU CAN'T.
YOU DON'T EVEN KNOW ME.
I'M A SNOB, AND I CAN
BE A WITCH AT TIMES
IF I DON'T GET MY OWN WAY.
SUE ELLEN...
YOU DON'T EXPECT ME TO THINK THAT
YOU'RE ALL THAT BAD, NOW DO YOU?
YES.
[MOANS]
NOT NOW.
NOT NOW.
WELL, I'M GONNA WAIT.
I'LL SEE YOU AGAIN SOON.
I JUST CAN'T BELIEVE YOUR MOM
WOULD CHECK INTO A HOSPITAL
FOR SURGERY WITHOUT TELLING ME.
DADDY, DON'T YOU THINK IT'S TIME
THAT YOU LET US
KNOW WHAT'S GOING ON?
I DON'T WANT TO
TALK ABOUT IT, BOBBY.
J.R. CAN TELL YOU IF HE WANTS.
I'LL BE IN THE WAITING ROOM.
YES, SIR.
YOU KNEW ALL ALONG?
IT WAS TOLD TO ME IN CONFIDENCE.
THERE'S NOTHING
UNDERHANDED ABOUT IT.
THAT'S A LITTLE HARD TO
BELIEVE WHEN YOU'RE INVOLVED.
NOW YOU BETTER TELL ME NOW.
DADDY WAS MARRIED AND
DIVORCED BEFORE HE EVER MET MAMA.
I DON'T BELIEVE IT.
IT'S TRUE.
WHEN HE TOLD MAMA,
SHE JUST ABOUT EXPLODED.
AND WHAT I CAN'T BELIEVE IS
THAT HE KEPT THE
SECRET ALL THESE YEARS.
[HORSE WHINNYING]
HI, PAM.
HI.
DO YOU KNOW WHERE SUE ELLEN IS?
I THINK SHE'S OUT RIDING.
LUCY, MISS ELLIE IS IN
DALLAS MEMORIAL HOSPITAL.
WHAT'S WRONG?
SHE'S GOING TO HAVE SURGERY.
WHY?
WELL, SHE'S BEEN CONCERNED
ABOUT A LUMP IN HER BREAST.
DR. DANVERS AND A
COUPLE OF OTHER DOCTORS
HAVE DECIDED IT'S A CYST.
WELL, A CYST ISN'T
DANGEROUS, IS IT?
I DON'T THINK SO, BUT THEY WANT TO
REMOVE IT ANYWAY JUST TO BE SURE.
IS THAT WHY GRANDMA AND
GRANDPA WERE ARGUING LAST NIGHT?
I DON'T KNOW, BABY.
THEY AREN'T TALKIN'.
DO YOU THINK THERE'S
SOMETHING TO WORRY ABOUT, PAM?
I'M GONNA BE HONEST
WITH YOU, LUCY.
MISS ELLIE'S WORRIED THAT IT
MIGHT BE SOMETHING MORE SERIOUS.
NOW I WANT YOU TO BE STRONG
AND BE PREPARED FOR WHATEVER IT IS.
MR. EWING?
YES.
MRS. EWING IS BACK
IN HER OWN ROOM NOW.
DR. DANVERS WOULD
LIKE TO SEE YOU.
OH, THAT'S GOOD.
UH, WOULD YOU
PLEASE TELL MY BOYS?
THEY'RE DOWN
THERE HAVING COFFEE.
HELLO, JOCK.
HARLEN.
HOW IS SHE?
ELLIE WAS RIGHT.
MALIGNANT?
MY GOD.
HER BREAST WAS FULL OF CYSTS.
THERE WAS A SMALL CANCER NEARBY.
IT NEVER REGISTERED
ON THE MAMMOGRAM.
WHAT ARE YOU TELLING ME?
WE HAD TO PERFORM A MASTECTOMY.
JOCK... WHEN ELLIE WAKES UP,
YOU'LL HAVE TO TELL
HER WE TOOK HER BREAST.
