Dallas (1978–1991): Season 4, Episode 16 - Lover, Come Back - full transcript

- Yes?
- The man who just drove away...

- can you tell me his name?
- I'm not at liberty discuss it.

Then I'll stay and wait for him.

- You can't do that.
- Just watch me.

There's been a counterrevolution.

- How about the wells?
- Returned to their owners.

You were smart enough
to overthrow a government.

I can't take credit for that.

- J.R.. you don't need me anymore.
- What?

I have to see him.

Oh. Dear God. It can't be.



Yes?

I'm sorry. But the man
who just drove away...

can you tell me his name?

I beg your pardon?

It's a strange question.
But I must know.

I'm not at liberty to discuss it.

Was it Dusty Farlow?

Look. I'm an old friend of his...

and I thought he was dead.
Please. I have to know.

I'm sorry. I really can't say.

Then I'll stay
and wait for him to come back.

- You can't do that.
- Just watch me.

It won't do you any good.

He's left for several days.



- When will he be back?
- I don't know.

Hank. Where have you been?
Been trying to reach you.

I just got in. J.R.

I was just about to call you.

What does it look like?

Everything fell into place.
By tomorrow it should be all over.

Are we gonna win that ball game?

There are no guarantees. J.R.

There never are.

Call me here tomorrow afternoon.
1:00 on the dot. Hear?

Even if it's bad news?

Either way.

- Louella?
- Yes, sir?

- Get me Jordan Lee?
- Yes, sir.

Track him down. No matter where he is.

Hi.

You all right?

Oh. Yeah. I'm all right.

Practically the best day of my life.

I'm so sorry. Cliff.

I know how much it hurts you.

What. That your husband
got the nomination?

- I don't know why that should bother me.
- Come on.

No. Really. I should have known it.

I was born to be dumped on
by the Ewings.

As a matter of fact. Sometimes I think
that the good Lord...

put me on this earth
for that specific purpose.

- I don't think it's so wonderful, either.
- Really? Why?

Because you know I wanted Dave's senate
seat more than anything in the world...

or because Bobby will miss
a few dinners while he's in Austin?

Look. Don't take it out on me.

Oh. Sorry. Mrs. Ewing.

Didn't mean to hurt your feelings.

Welcome to the club.

Before you blame it on Bobby.
What makes you so sure...

you'd have been chosen
if he hadn't taken it?

Right. Right. Maybe. I'm not
as good as I think I am.

But I'll tell you something.
I could've accepted anybody but a Ewing.

Oh. Come on.
Bobby didn't take it to hurt you.

He probably never even
thought about you.

Right. Yeah. Well. That makes it better.

I'm sorry. Cliff.

I didn't come here to fight.
I came here to help.

I don't want any help.

I just want to sit here and be bitter.
Full of self-pity. And hate the Ewings.

There. Now I've said everything
you'd have accused me of saying...

so why don't you
get the hell out of here?

Fine.

Except you forgot smug and stupid.

The fact that you're
a royal pain in the behind.

And it will be a pleasure
to get out of here.

I've never seen you like this.

It's gonna be a big day for Ewing Oil.

I thought the cartel would never
do business again with Ewing Oil.

Well. Things have a way
of changing. Don't they?

Especially if I can give them
something they want.

And what do you have that they want?
Those Asian oil wells?

You can't give those back.

- Or can you?
- What?

- Yes?
- Mr. Lee and the others are here.

All right. Send them in.

And when Hank Johnson calls.
Put him right through.

Well. Jordan. How you doing?
Good to see you. Bud.

Marilee. You look beautiful. Beautiful.

- Wade. Andy.
- How are you doing?

You all know Leslie Stewart.

She's trying to build my image.
Put me in the newspapers.

You've done quite a job. Young lady.

I imagine people who don't know J.R...

think Ewing Oil is a good company
to do business with.

Jordan. We've had a difference or two
in the past...

but that's no reason to think Ewing Oil
is not a viable partner for the cartel.

We've had more than a difference. J.R.

You caused poor Seth to kill himself.

I didn't ask you all here
to nitpick about the past.

Why did you invite us here?

We hoped it was to announce
your retirement.

About the only reason we came.

I can understand you all being bitter.

I'm willing to overlook it
in the interest of working together again.

Why would you possibly
want to work with us again?

Or think we'd be interested?

Well. For one thing. It would
please my daddy a great deal.

And the other. We all suffered together
in the loss of those Asian wells.

Suffered is hardly the word.

Then why isn't Vaughn Leland here?
He suffered too. You know.

Well...

- Yeah?
- Hank Johnson on one.

J.R., there's something on TV
you might want to check on.

All right. I'll take it.
Put the television on.

Hello. Hank.

I got some people with me.
I'm gonna put you on the speaker.

As a gesture of friendship
toward the American people...

- Go ahead. Hank.
- I've got great news, J.R.

There's been a counterrevolution here.

A bloodless coup. It's all over.

And the Wong Lee faction
is back in control.

- How about the wells?
- They're gonna be denationalized.

Returned to their rightful owners.

Does that include Ewing Oil
and the cartel?

J.R.

“Owned by American companies.

The coup in Southeast Asia
has been affected.

As a gesture of friendship
toward the American people...

the Lee government has denationalized
all the offshore wells...

owned by American companies.

The chief beneficiaries
are a group of local oil companies...

headed by Ewing Oil.

Isn't this fabulous?

What's your attitude
about working with Ewing Oil now?

All right! That's the best yet.

- J.R.. I always knew you'd redeem yourself.
- Can you believe it?

- Yeah. Maybe we were too harsh.
- Best news I've had in years.

J.R.. how did you know about this?

Well. I make it my business to know.

I bet you didn't have anything to do
with that overthrow. Did you?

Jordan. I'd like to take credit for that.
I really would.

But how in the world
would I accomplish that?

I'm beginning to believe
you can do anything.

- Seems to me this calls for a celebration.
- Right. Party's on me.

- Cattlemen's Club?
- I'll be along shortly.

Can you believe it?

Can't wait to see the looks
on their faces when we tell the news.

I'll bet everyone of them
know it by now.

Well done.

I do have my moments. Don't I?

Tell me the truth.

Did you know what Hank was gonna say
before you put him on that speaker phone?

No.

No. For all I knew. It could've failed.

You love to take risks.

What if it had been a total failure?

If the revolution failed.
I'd have taken credit for it.

I'd have told those boys...

that I spent millions of dollars
trying to get their wells back.

Either way. I would've been a winner.

I believe anything worth having...

is worth going for all the way.

I'll remember that.

Good speech. Bobby. Very good speech.

They really loved the idea of a candidate
being too rich to be bought.

We got everything going for us.

The meeting with
the Women's Voters Society?

We tell them what they want to hear.

- What do you think they“?
- Stay away from abortion.

- I think we ought to talk about it.
- I think you should...

Better to get onto equal opportunity,
equal pay. Things like that.

Look. Guys. I don't want
to start skirting issues. Not now.

Of course not. Face them when you have to.
But there's no sense asking for trouble.

Get into things that really affect them.

The high cost of living. Interest rates.
Food. That's what they really care about.

How much can I do about those things
on a state level?

A lot. Believe me.

- I think you ought to...
- This may be a long night.

- Got any coffee?
- Yeah.

Honey. You know where everything is.
Brew up a couple pots.

We got a lot of stuff to talk about.

All right. Who's first?

Before you can do anything.
You have to get elected.

Right.

You'd better give them
what they want to hear.

But let's really be sure
we know what they want to hear.

- Yes?
- He's here. Isn't he? That's his car.

You must go away.

I have to see him.

No one is allowed in.

I have to see him.

- Who is it, Agnes?
- Oh. My God.

You're alive.

Oh, my..

Did you have to come back?

Why couldn't you just leave it alone?

I love you.

You know. Why didn't you
let me know that you weren't dead?

I'm hardly the man you fell in love with.

I don't care. You're alive.

Sue Ellen.

There's a big difference
between being alive and just living.

I spend all my days and my nights
just sitting in this wheelchair now...

remembering what it used to be like
before that plane crash.

But I thought it was you
that they found in that plane.

That was a ranch hand who was going
to Fort Worth for the cattle auction.

I gave him a ride.

After the crash...

I was thrown clear.

After I came to...

I tried to get back to him.

My legs wouldn't work.

Then the plane exploded...

and he was dead.
And I couldn't do anything for him.

So I crawled.

I don't know how far I crawled.

I came to a little ranch house.

Then I contacted my father...

and he came and brought me back
to the Southern Cross.

Oh. My darling.

Why didn't you phone me...

just to let me know you were alive?
I would've understood.

Because I was more dead than alive
for the whole first month.

Since then. I have been in and out
of hospitals all over the world...

trying to find a way to walk again.

I've had a dozen operations...

but nothing worked.

I'm gonna be in this wheelchair
for the rest of my life.

But I don't care.

I've found you. And I love you.

And I need you.

I'll help you. I'll...

I'll do everything for you.

- Sue Ellen.
- Oh. Please. Just let me hold you.

I love you.

Just let me hold you.

Honey. You ought to get to school.
The apartment can wait.

She left for school an hour ago.

Who are you?

I'm Delores. I work for you.

If you're her husband.

Work for me? What are you talking about?

This apartment don't get cleaned
by itself. You know.

- Who hired you?
- Mrs. Ewing.

- Which Mrs. Ewing?
- Your wife.

My wife's name is Mrs. Cooper...

who also told me she was
keeping the apartment clean.

Well. I guess maybe she figured
what you didn't know wouldn't hurt you.

Yes. And I'm sure
she appreciates your loyalty.

And I appreciate everything you've done.

But from now on. We no longer
will require your services.

I ain't that expensive.

It doesn't matter.

All right.

I'll just finish up and be on my way.

I wish you had seen J.R. last night
telling me how the cartel acted...

when they got the wells back.

He was like some little kid.

It's nice he's back in with them. Jock.
I know what it means to you.

- Howdy. Boys.
- Hey. Punk.

Hear about us getting
the Asian wells back?

Yeah. It's right here in the paper.
I like it.

I also read something in the paper
that I don't like.

- What's that?
- Right here.

Big interview with the DOA...

all about how the Takapa project
ought to be stopped.

Unfortunately. Jock. The ones
doing the most talking...

are Miss Ellie and that Donna Culver.

Well. You think
anybody's listening to them?

Maybe not yet.

But I know this:

If enough people read this kind of thing
in this paper often enough...

they'll start thinking
there's some truth to it.

I don't know what we can do about it.
Can't stop them from talking.

Maybe yes. Maybe no.

Jock. You're gonna have to tell Miss Ellie
you're a part of the Takapa development.

Get her to pull her horns in.

Maybe I can help some.

How's that?

Well. I'm still sort of
friendly with Donna.

Why don't I just give her a call
and see if I can get her to ease up a bit?

- You think you can do that?
- Well. I'd sure be willing to give it a try.

It's looking good.

A couple of days till election.
And the polls have you way ahead.

- I think things went very well.
- You stayed on nice. Safe ground.

Gee. I hope I'm not interrupting.

I just wanted to see
how the campaign was going.

Fine. J.R. Everything's going just fine.

Oh. Good. Good.

I think I can guarantee that
you're looking at our next state senator.

Well. That's wonderful.
Bobby. I'm so proud of you.

You're exactly where you should be.
You know that?

And. Pam. I'm sure
you helped Bobby no end.

Are you. J.R?

Of course. I am.

There's not a prettier sight in the world
than to see a young politician...

and his devoted wife. Side by side.

Well. I just came in to congratulate you.

I hear congratulations are in order
for you too.

Oh. You mean about them
restoring our Asian wells? Yeah.

Yeah. It did bring joy
to my daddy's heart...

to see that we've reunited
with all our old friends in the cartel.

Keep up the good work. Bob. Pamela.

- Time we were running along.
- Yeah. Bobby.

Thanks to all of you.
Real productive day. Thank you.

- Talk to you tomorrow.
- All right.

- Where are you parked?
- Yeah. You're on...

Phil. I want to talk to you
about tomorrow's schedule.

- Honey. You want a drink?
- I'd love one.

How do you think it went?

The speech. I mean.
You think everything was all right?

I was too busy pouring coffee to tell.

What's that?

It was just fine. I'm sure.

Well. Listen. I want to thank you
for pitching in the way you have lately.

It's really helping me out.

Hi. Honey.
What are you doing home so early?

Waiting for you.
What happened to your hand?

I tripped on a sprinkler head at school.
And I sprained it.

It's nothing serious.

What's the matter?

Oh. I thought we'd better have
a little talk.

All right.

I came back this morning
to pick up a lab book that I'd forgotten.

Why. Lucy. After all the talks
we've had about finance...

do you go and hire a cleaning woman?

I only did it because I know how much
having a clean apartment means to you.

And let's face it, I'm kind of a slob.

I just don't know how to clean right.

I work nights to make extra money.
And you give it to a cleaning woman.

I only did it to try and make you happy.

Oh. Come on.
It wasn't that terrible. Was it?

No. It's not like you robbed a bank.
But you did lie.

Or at least you didn't tell me the truth.

If I had asked you.
You'd have said no anyway.

But at least we could've talked about it.

I'm sorry. I guess you're right.

I only did it because I love you so much.

And I love you.

I promise I won't do anything else
that we can't afford.

Of course I'm delighted
we're friends again, Marilee.

Yeah.
All right. Thanks for calling. Darling.

I'll be there tonight.

No. Of course I remember the address.

All right.

Bye now.

Yeah?
J.R.. Ms. Stewart's on line one.

All right. I got it.

- Hello. Leslie.
- J.R.. I'd like to talk to you.

All right. I'm listening.

No. Not on the phone.

Could you come to my place tonight?

Tonight? Sure. Yeah. Yeah.
I can come tonight. What time?

Would 8:00 be convenient?

All right. I'll be there at 8:00.

Thank you. I'll see you then.

- Louella?
- Yes, sir?

Call Marilee Stone.
Tell her I can't make it tonight.

- Something real big has come up.
- Yes, sir.

So it was you who put up the bail.

When I found out the Ewings wouldn't.

I couldn't believe it.

I couldn't stand the thought
of you being confined that way.

And the man you had following me?

That was to make sure
you were all right...

and to find out where you were...

and how you were.

Do you realize you're telling me
that you still love me?

Of course I love you.

But it's different now.

It isn't.

Do you think I care about the wheelchair?

We can have a wonderful life together.
As long as we are together.

- We have so much to give each other.
- Don't jump ahead so far. Will you?

I'm just getting used to you being here.

You have a whole lifetime
to get used to it.

It's time for your medication. Mr. Farlow.

And you must rest.

Well. I'll go.

But I'll be back tomorrow.

I love you.

Eight o'clock, straight up.

Thank you for being so prompt.

I never like to keep a lady waiting.

I'm really not in the mood
for celebrating tonight.

Why not?
After what we accomplished today?

- Not we. You.
- Yeah. It's the same thing practically.

No. It isn't. You did it all yourself.

And that's really what I wanted
to talk to you about tonight.

Oh. Now. What's the problem?

J.R.. you hired me to remake your image
and to put you back in power in Dallas.

And I told you that I could do it.

But everything I've done
really sort of pales in comparison...

to what you've been able
to do for yourself.

- Ever heard me complain about you?
- No. I haven't.

But it's important to me to prove to you
that I can do what I said I could.

You brought that cartel back to your side.

Why. Those Asian oil leases
are worth untold millions to you.

While I was running around
putting ads in newspapers...

setting up interviews
with financial columnists...

you were smart enough
to overthrow a foreign government.

Oh. Now. Leslie. I told you before.
I can't take credit for that.

I'm just fortunate that
the new government looks kindly on me.

Although the fact I invested quite a bit
of money in the country might've helped.

Oh. I think you're being far too modest.

Besides. We know the truth.

- But that really isn't even the point.
- Oh. And what's the point?

J.R.. I think that we ought
to tear up my contract...

and you can stop payment
effective immediately.

What?

J.R.. you don't need me anymore.

Oh. Leslie. I do.

I most decidedly do.

Those Asian oil wells
are just a drop in the bucket.

Now. You've given Ewing Oil
a new image. Honey.

An image that I happen to like.

And the better
we get to know each other...

the more we're gonna be able
to do for each other. You understand?

I can't help you unless I know
what you're doing.

You kept that whole Asian oil deal
a secret from me.

I want to work with you.
I want to know you better.

But to do that. We have to have
absolute trust between us.

Leslie. As much as I like you
and admire your ability...

I can't trust anyone with everything.

I don't know.
Maybe it's a flaw in my character.

But it's my nature. Lt's the way I am.

Now. Maybe someday
you'll know everything...

but we've got to get a lot closer together
than we are right now for that to happen.

And I mean considerably closer.

It's important to me to know everything.

The ball is in your court.

When you're ready. So am I.

That's quite an offer.

Not lightly given.

I'd like some time to think it over.

Sure.

Just don't take too long.

Enjoy your champagne.

- There you go.
- Thank you.

- Can I take your coat?
- Oh. My God.

- You have a nice place.
- Well. I like it.

- How about a brandy?
- Brandy would be fine.

It's the first time
I've ever had a real house.

Well. You have really done
a nice job with it. Ray.

Well. It's not real big.
But I had a lot of fun building it.

It's about all I need right now.

- Here you go.
- Thank you.

Yes. Please.

- Do you know what we're doing?
- What?

Making small talk.

You know. Nice. Polite conversation.

Same thing that we did over dinner. And
the same thing we did all the way out here.

Well. I guess you could say that's true.

Ray. I thought that...

when you asked me out to dinner that you
had something that you wanted to say.

Something about us.

Well. I did want to talk.

I just didn't know
quite how to get around to it.

We've always been
pretty straight with each other.

Why don't you just say it?

Well. It's about Takapa.

- Takapa?
- Yeah.

What I wanted to know was...

is there any way you can get Miss Ellie
and the DOA to ease off on it?

I don't believe this.

Ray. What the...?
What do you care about Takapa?

Well. Jock's one of the developers.

I'm kind of in on it with him too.

It's causing a terrible strain on Jock.
With Miss Ellie not knowing and all.

The other developers are
coming down on him real hard.

Well. Why doesn't Jock
tell Miss Ellie himself...

instead of sending his messenger
to try and talk me into doing it?

- Look. I'm nobody's messenger.
- Really?

I came to you because
I didn't want to see Jock hurt anymore.

I love him. And I don't want him to have
any more trouble with Miss Ellie right now.

I'd understand that.
But I won't help you.

You know why? Because I happen to think
developing that area stinks!

There's plenty of other places.

Lam going to fight them.
And if I know Miss Ellie. So is she.

Now. It's a good project. Donna.

It makes plenty of sense.
It's just a swamp.

Ray. What do you know about it?
You always told me you were a cowboy.

What do you know about
million-dollar developments?

All right. I'm learning.

Now. I admit. I got into this thing
because of Jock.

But I like it. They listen to me.
They have respect for my judgment.

A man doesn't have to be
just a cowboy forever.

Didn't take you long
to become a Ewing. Now. Did it?

I mean. The hell with people.
Just grab. Grab. Grab.

Now. I'm no different than I ever was.

That doesn't mean I can't see more to life
than just running a ranch.

- I'll never be like the rest of those Ewings.
- The hell you won't.

Hey.

I'm not through with you yet.

- Good morning. Everybody. Beautiful day.
- Good morning. J.R.

Mama.

Well. Lucy. How nice of you
to grace our table with your presence.

Thank you.

No trouble in paradise. I hope.

No. J.R.. my marriage is perfect.

Well. I better be going to work.

- See you later.
- Okay. Bye.

I'll go with you. Bye. Everyone.
Bye. Granddaddy.

Pam. Can I talk to you for a minute?

Well. Sure. What is it?

Well. I can't exactly tell you why.
But I need a job.

Now. The problem is I don't know how to do
much of anything or I'd get one myself.

- Well. You want to work at the store?
- Oh. no.

But I read where Alex Ward is starting
this new magazine called Young Dallas...

and I was thinking maybe
I could be a model or something.

I hate to ask, but I know
you know him. And...

Well. Lucy. I'm not sure.

I haven't seen him for a while.

Please. Pam. I really do need the job.

Well. Then I'm sure we can
do something.

Oh. Thank you. I hope so.

You always wake up this late?

Lately.

I haven't had much reason
to get up early.

Well. I've been thinking.

I've done some foolish things in my life...

and I guess about the worst of all
was all the time I've wasted.

You mean being a cowboy
instead of a big developer?

No. I don't regret that.

It's all the time I should have
spent with you that I didn't.

You can change that.

I want to. Starting now.

- Are you...?
- Asking you to marry me?

Lam.

I will.

I will.

- Good morning.
- Good morning.

Mrs. Ewing?

I'm Steven's father.

Sorry. Dusty's father.

He's always been Steven
down at the Southern Cross.

Won't you come in?

It's very nice to meet you.

Steven is at the doctor.
He won't be back for some time.

Won't you sit down?

Thank you.

Mrs. Ewing. I tend to be a very blunt man.
So I have to tell you what's on my mind.

All right.

I'm very unhappy that you have
come back into my son's life.

I love Dusty.

I'm sure you do.

But you have got to realize that
he has been through a very difficult time.

The injuries he received
were very traumatic.

It was a real battle just to hold on
to his emotional stability.

For someone as active
as he has been all of his life...

to confine him to a wheelchair
is a living hell.

I'm not sure he can handle the added
pressures you would put on him.

But I wouldn't. I love him.

I just want to share my life with him.
I don't care about his legs.

I just want to give him a life
happy and fulfilled.

- Fulfilled?
- Yes.

He hasn't told you. Has he?

I can understand why.

Told me what?

His real problem.
The one he can't quite live with.

I'm really afraid I don't understand.

Then perhaps I should spare him
the pain of telling you.

The crash took away
more than the use of his legs.

My son...

is impotent.

- Morning. Jock.
- Well. You're late enough. Ray.

Yeah. I guess so.
Sorry. I sort of slept in this morning.

Oh. That's all right.
How'd it go with Donna last night?

Well. A lot better than I expected.

Well. That mean
she'll ease off on the Takapa deal?

No. Sir. She didn't agree to do that...

but she did agree to marry me.

Marry you?

Well. That's great. That's just great.

- She's a wonderful girl.
- I think so.

- You set a date yet?
- No. Sir. Not yet.

Tell you what. Ray.
You just forget about Fort Worth today.

You go buy your gal something real nice.

I got some business in town.

- Ray.
- Thank you. Sir.

- Hi. How'd the meeting go?
- The usual.

- Anything up?
- Alex Ward returned your call.

Said he had to come by the store anyway.
And he'd drop in and see you.

- Did he say when?
- Right now.

Bye.

- Hi. Jackie.
- Hi.

Hello.

Hi.

I was really surprised to get the message
that you'd called.

Did you have to come here?
I could've come by your office.

Well. Actually. I did.
Well. Sometime in the next week or so.

I really wondered why you called.

Well. It's not about me. Alex.

It's for my niece. Lucy.

I don't understand.

The word is out about your new magazine.
And she is really a very lovely girl...

and she would like to audition for you
as a model.

Well. She can go through
the formalities if you like...

but if you want her to have the job.
It's hers.

Well. I only want her to have it
if she's the best one for it.

Not because of our past relationship.

That's what I'd like too.

But I'm afraid I care enough about you
to do anything to win your favor.

- Alex. This doesn't mean...
- Lt only means...

I enjoy doing a favor for you.

Well. Thank you.

You're welcome.

Of course I heard about it.
J.R.'s a very lucky man.

That's why I'm calling.
I think maybe it was more than just luck.

I want you to check out a man
by the name of Hank Johnson...

and see if he had anything to do
with the new Lee government.

I mean something to do
with bribing maybe.

For J.R.

This is one time when I think the Ewings
might have gone just a little bit too far.

All right.

So call me.
Call me anytime you find out anything.

Day or night.

Nobody is that lucky. J.R.

Not even you.

Well?

Mrs. Ewing has been waiting for hours.

I told her.

That's just as well.

And would you mind if I talk
to Dusty alone for a few minutes?

Of course.

- Anything you need?
- No.

Well. Now you know
why I didn't want to see you.

No. I don't.

My father just said he told you about me.

He did.

But I don't see
what difference that makes.

Oh. Sue Ellen.

I'm incapable of making love.

If I needed any confirmation of that...

I just got it today at the doctor.

It doesn't matter.

- Like hell it doesn't.
- Not to me.

I love you.

I want to share my life with you.

I want to marry you.

Marry?

I'm a man in a wheelchair.

A life with me means no sex.

No children.

Any marriage to me
is gonna be a mockery.

Don't you understand?

My entire life up until this point
has been a mockery.

Except when we're together.

That's all I want. That's all I need.
Just to be with you.

I couldn't let you do that to yourself.
Sue Ellen.

I'm not gonna let you
tie yourself down to me.

But it isn't tying me down.
It's giving me everything I want.

Steve. It's time for your medication.

Will you join us for dinner. Mrs. Ewing?

I'd like that very much.

Here comes somebody.

- The happy couple.
- Hi. Everyone. I didn't realize it was so late.

Didn't think you'd show up at all.

- I wish you the very best.
- Thank you. I have it.

Happy for you both.
Congratulations.

- Thank you. Lucy.
- Ray.

I always seem to be the official
toastmaster on occasions like this...

so here's to Donna and Ray.

- Welcome to the family. Donna.
- Thank you.

You know. From the time I
found out that Ray was my son...

there's something I should've done
that I just didn't do till now.

- What's that. Daddy?
- Donna has been used to a fine lifestyle.

I couldn't have her just marrying
any old cowpoke. Could I?

What does that mean. Jock?

You know that trust fund we set up
for the boys some time ago. Miss Ellie?

- Yes?
- Lots of money in there now.

Went to see the lawyers today.
Had them change the trust to include Ray.

Twenty-five percent of it
is yours now. Ray.

You're a millionaire in your own right.

I have to get back to Southfork. Darling. But
I'll be back first thing in the morning.

No. Sue Ellen. Don't come back.

Ever.

I have to.
I couldn't stand to lose you again.

You have lost me. Sue Ellen.

You're pretending we are
as we used to be.

We're not.

But we love each other.
That hasn't changed.

The only thing we have left
is a memory of how we were.

And that was perfect.

But I'd rather remember it like that
than to be together now and have it die.

But I won't let it die.

I know you wouldn't. Sue Ellen.
You wouldn't want to.

You look at me now. You see me the way
I used to be. And nothing else matters.

And it never will.

Sue Ellen. Someday it will.

Not now. Not a month from now.
Not a year. Maybe even more...

but someday you're gonna
walk in that door. And you'll see me.

Not as you want to see me.
But as I really am.

Then you're gonna realize that you're
married to a man who can't walk again...

who's never gonna make love again.

No. No.

And I'll see it in your eyes...

and you'll cover it up.
Pretend that nothing has changed...

but I'll know.

And that's gonna destroy me.

No. I'd never hurt you.

- Dusty. I love you.
- I love you.

That's the only thing I have left.

If I didn't know that. I might as well
not have survived that plane crash.

But if you really love me...

don't make me see myself
in your eyes every day.

Let me have my memories of you
and my dreams of you.

Love me enough to do that.

You'll never know how much I love you.

Never.

Goodbye. My darling.

Goodbye.
