Dallas (1978–1991): Season 6, Episode 11 - Post Nuptial - full transcript

Here are your keys back.
I won't need them anymore.

- Hey. What's going on?
- Cliff. I have had it with you.

You want Sue Ellen? Fine, go to her.

Could my association with him
hurt Harwood Oil?

That depends
on what your association is.

He owns 25 percent of my company.

I wouldn't want to be in J.R.'s shoes
if the Justice Department caught him.

They'll just shut down
your whole operation.

I assure you, that never crossed my mind.

I'll stop you from destroying Ewing Oil.

I repeat. If any man
can show just cause...



why they may not lawfully
be joined together, let him now speak...

or forever hold his peace.

Get on with it.

Yes. The rings.

May we have the rings. Please?

Please repeat after me.

Place the ring on his finger.

Join your right hands, please.

Through ordination from God
and the authority vested in me...

I now pronounce you
husband and wife.

Whom God hath joined together...

let no man put asunder.

You may kiss the bride.

Where's Cliff?

I don't know. I've been looking for him
since he walked out.

Well. For his sake, I hope he walked
straight off of Southfork.

Jack. Well. Nice seeing you again.

Thank you. Darling.

Have you seen Cliff yet?

No. No. Not since
he made an ass out of himself.

I can't believe the audacity of that man
to come here. Let alone do what he did.

He's long on audacity.
A little short on intelligence. However.

Besides. I invited him.

You invited him?

Yep. I wanted him to see us married
with his own two eyes.

J.R.. I don't understand you sometimes.

I wanted that pea-sized brain of his...

to absorb the fact
that you and I are finally together.

Now maybe he'll crawl out
of our lives for good.

Hi. Billy.

- How about little bourbon on the rocks?
- Yes. Sir.

Ray. Have you seen Lucy?

I told you to stay away from her.

Hey. I thought the cuffs
were off for the day.

- Oh. Thanks.
- Cheers.

- Hello. Donna.
- Hi.

- Bob.
- Hey. How's he coming along?

Oh. He's a little wild.
But I'm breaking him in.

How is J.R.'s best man?

- Excuse me. I think I see somebody.
- I think you should.

Mama looks like she's having
a good time out there.

Yeah. Sure good for her.

I've been real worried
about Miss Ellie. Bob.

- About Mama?
- Yeah.

The way you and J.R. are locking horns
over this company. It's real hard on her.

What do you expect me to do?

I can't just give up because of Mama.
Daddy wouldn't want me to do that.

Still. It's a big load
for her to be carrying.

You forget Mama's a pretty tough lady.
I think she can handle it.

Maybe. But I still think
she needs a little looking after.

All right. With J.R. and I going at it
like we are. Gary out in California...

if anybody's gonna look after her.
It's gonna have to be you.

It's not the same thing. Bob.
She's not my mama.

Sometimes I like to feel as though she is.

I'll tell you what. Ray. As far as
I'm concerned. She is your mama.

Thank you.
That's real good of you to say that.

- J.R.. congratulations.
- Thank you. Thank you.

- Lovely wedding.
- Thank you. Darling. Thank you.

Now. Clayton. No warm wishes?

Congratulations. J.R.

You know. It takes quite a man
to give away the woman he loves.

I couldn't do it. I couldn't.

You sure know how to savor
your victories, don't you?

Yeah. There's no sense cooking
unless you're gonna eat the meal.

J.R.. I may have given Sue Ellen away...

but that doesn't mean
I don't care what happens to her.

Now. I never wanna hear
of you causing her to be unhappy again.

- Clayton?
- Well...

Just the man I wanna see.

Bobby. You haven't asked me
for a dance yet.

No. Honey. I'm sorry. Look.

- I thought he left.
- L'll take care of this right now.

Oh. Let me. All right? There have been
enough exhibitions today.

All right. All right.

- Where were you?
- Around.

- Cliff. I think we should leave.
- I don't wanna leave. It's too early.

Not for you. It isn't. Cliff.

Hey. What are you.
The new Ewing hatchet lady?

I mean it. Cliff. Please go.

Hey. I was invited here.

Well. You're being dis-invited.

Cliff. I wanna go now.

You know. Look. All I'm trying to do
is just sit and have a quiet drink.

I'm warning you.
If you cause another scene...

What are you gonna do.
Disown me as your brother?

This is my home.

Your choice.

That's right. And the more I see of you.
The better I like my choice.

Well. I thought
you'd still be here. Barnes.

Never too far
from the free food and drink, huh?

Okay. Can we go now?

Soon. Real soon.
There's just one thing I have to do.

What are you doing?

I'm gonna dance with the bride.

Oh. No. You're not.

I don't know why I shouldn't.

Cliff. I have had it.

If you so much as go near that woman.
I am leaving.

Well. That's up to you.

Cliff.

You're still here?

I came to dance with the bride.

Please...

not now.

Oh. Now. Come on. Sue Ellen.
You owe me that.

It's not fair.

Ali's fair in love and war.
And better a dance than a war.

Where is that jackass taking her now?

Well. Out of J.R's sight, I hope.

No way in the world I can do that.
I'm all booked now. See my ring?

- Nice talking to you. All right.
- Good talking to you.

- Well. Hello there...
- Mickey.

Mickey. Yeah.
What drug you out of the horse barn?

Just looking for your niece.

That figures.

I don't know. On second thought...

you might be an improvement over that
bunch of weirdos she seems to attract.

You got a lot to say for a man whose
bride's off dancing with your enemy.

Say what?

You know. The man
who walked out of the ceremony.

Well. What's a party for?

- Oh. Lord.
- What?

You've outstayed your welcome. Barnes.

We're just gonna finish this dance.

That's fine with me
as long as you do it alone.

No. Get your hands off me.

- It's all right, J.R.
- No. It's not all right. I want him...

- out of your life. Off this ranch.
- Don't touch me.

You may have botched killing yourself.
But I'm sure as hell not gonna...

Fred!

- Cliff!
- You got him?

Oh. Stop it! Stop it!

Ray. Give me a hand.
Let's get him out of here.

- Oh. Just get him out of here. Please.
- Lt's all right.

Get out. Barnes.

I'm so glad you came. Clayton.
It was wonderful having you.

- It was nice of you to invite me.
- Nonsense.

I meant what I said about you not
making yourself a stranger around here.

- Well. I'll be coming back.
- Good.

And I promise there won't
be any more battles like yesterday.

Oh. I have to say. Miss Ellie.
I kind of enjoyed it.

I haven't been involved in a fracas
like that for some time.

Well. Just the same.
We're not planning any more.

Well...

See you later.

Here are your keys back.
I won't need them anymore.

Hey-What's going on?

Cliff. I have had it with you.

Nothing I do seems to make any
difference. You just don't want me.

- Where you been?
- You want Sue Ellen? Fine.

- Go to her.
- Sue Ellen? She's with J.R.

No. You actually recognize that fact.
How perceptive.

How dare you go dance with her at that
wedding. Leaving me there like a moron.

- I'm sorry.
- Don't touch me.

I'm getting out of here.

You can live here by yourself
with your dreams and your fantasies.

I wanna know something. Cliff.

When you look at me. What do you see?

Do you see me or her?

- Oh come on, Afton.
- You're still in love with her. Aren't you?

- Oh. What do you take me for?
- I take you for a fool!

Well. Take the damn stuff.
I don't care. Split.

I'll tell you something. The last thing
I need right now is female emotionality.

"Emotionality“? That is rich."

You are the perfect person
to be talking about emotionality.

Why do you think J.R. Ewing whips you
every time your paths cross?

Because you always use your emotions.
Cliff. You never use your brains.

What about that deal with Thurman?
I stole that out from under J.R.'s nose.

It didn't have anything to do with
emotions. It was just real good business.

You absolutely amaze me.
You know that?

Yeah. I amazed Thurman too.
Why don't you call him? He'll tell you.

No. No. I have a better idea.

Why don't you call Thurman. Find out
exactly how you got that refinery?

What are you talking about?

I have done everything for you
that I possibly could have.

I have been... I have been your doormat!
Your nursemaid!

What about Thurman?

I have done...
I have done everything for you.

What do you mean
you've done everything?

Did you sleep with him?

Did you?

You are so full of yourself.

You did. Didn't you?

What difference does it make?

You don't care about me.
You care about Sue Ellen.

I care about you. Did you sleep with him?

- You don't care about...
- Tell me. Did you?

You care about her!

Did you sleep with Thurman?

I have to know!

You have to know what?

I have to know. Did you sleep with him?

No.

Oh. Boy.

Good morning.

- Coffee?
- Oh. No. Thank you. Honey.

- Just put it on the table. I'll be right at it.
- Okay.

How's your hand?

A lot better than Cliff Barnes' jaw.
That's for sure.

J.R.. I don't even
wanna think about that.

Let's talk about today.
Do you have any plans?

Working on them right now.

The reason I asked is that I've arranged
for a couple of horses.

Horses?

Just thought we'd ride around
and explore the territory.

Sue Ellen. We did enough
exploring of territory last night.

I gotta get my strength back.

Do I hear a complaint?

No. No.

It's just that I'm not as young
as I was on our first honeymoon.

Maybe not...

but you're a lot more interesting.

Yeah. You go on without me.

I'm just gonna lie here
and recharge my batteries.

Okay. Bye.

Hello. Flamingo Motel?

Cabin 14. please.

Hello, Mike?

YOU can come Up HOW.

Bobby, Mr. Clay and Mr. Jones
from the OLM are here.

Send them in. Please.

Yes, sir.

Mr. Ewing.

- Mr. Ewing.
- Gentlemen. I suppose you know...

that the OLM is not really my favorite
organization right now...

- but have a seat anyway.
- Thank you.

The reason we're here. Mr. Ewing.
Is because we're pretty concerned...

about that pumping variance
your brother got.

What do you want from me?

Actually. We wanted
to talk to your brother.

Well. He's not here right now.
He's on a short honeymoon.

Do you know why
he's been pumping so much oil lately?

Do you?

Mr. Ewing. We have a theory...

which is scaring us a whole lot.

Because if we're right.
It's gonna look like we're in it too.

Am I gonna hear this theory or not?

There's only one reason for pumping oil.
That's to sell it.

And the only place you can get
a decent price for oil these days...

is from somewhere
it can't be bought officially.

We think J.R.'s been selling
to one of the embargoed nations.

What are you talking about?

We're talking about the countries...

the State Department
won't let American firms deal with.

There's at least one of them
in the Caribbean.

Which is quite a coincidence...

since that's where Walt Driscoll went.

How do you guys know all this?

We know. Mr. Ewing.

We figure that he's in it
together with J.R.

That he's making the deals.

The people down there would pay
a fortune to get their hands on crude.

Have you discussed this with anybody?

No. It's not the kind of thing
you wanna discuss until you're sure.

Phyllis. Get me Harry Perkins
at Ewing 8. please.

Yes, sir.

I appreciate you coming to me
with this first.

I'll check out everything
as soon as I can...

but you've got to sit on this
at least a couple of days.

It's the kind of thing
that could blow up in all our faces.

Yeah. I know that. I truly do.

I'd feel a lot whole better
dealing with Ewing Oil.

Well. Petro State's money
is as green as ours.

There you go.

You'll be getting a certified check
tomorrow.

Alert your people, once you take receipt.
They'll be working for Petro State.

Sounds good.

- Mighty pretty place you have here.
- Yeah.

If it wasn't so damn boring.
I'd come up more often.

The check will arrive in the morning?

Oh. Yeah. First thing.

And Mike. Petra State
is very. Very publicity shy.

I'm not gonna say anything.

I'm gonna count on it.

He's either got to store it or refine it.

There isn't a hell of a lot more
he can do with that much oil.

It's the only thing that makes sense.

- Nothing makes any sense to me.
- Hey. Hey. Now. Just hold it down.

I wanna know what's going on
and what we're gonna do about it.

Well. That's the reason
we're here. Jordan.

There is no need for us
to argue among ourselves.

The fact of the matter is that nobody
here knows what J.R. is doing.

Whatever it is. It'll line his pockets
at the expense of ours.

We should get the variance rescinded.

- I'd say that's the first order of business.
- I agree with that.

What about the refineries?

The refineries. That's the next thing
we should talk about.

We should contact every refinery
in the state...

and tell them if they wanna do business
with any of us. They have to refuse J.R.

- They may balk at that.
- Let them.

We've got the muscle.

I think I can help in that regard.

- Mama.
- Since many of the major refineries...

rely on Wentworth Tool and Dye
for their key parts...

we're capable of shutting them down.

That can get a little ticklish legally.
Rebecca.

That's true.

We got to be delicate
with that sort of thing.

I agree.

I just want you all to know
that the power is there.

And if Cliff wants to use it...

he has my okay.

One way or another.
We're gonna stop J.R.

Yeah?
Mr. Perkins is on line two, Bobby.

Thank you.

Harry. I've been trying
to reach you all day.

One of my pumps broke down on me.
Got it working now. Though.

Look. Harry. I got a question to ask you.

I know you're working J.R.'s fields now
and not mine.

You don't have to answer
if you don't want.

We do go back a long ways together
so I thought I at least had to ask.

Well. Let's hear the question.

J.R.'s pulling a lot of crude
out of Ewing 8 right now.

I'd like to know where it's going.

Well. Not to the Ewing refinery.
I can tell you that.

We've been pushing it out to Galveston.

Galveston?

Where in Galveston?

I don't rightly know.
Lots of refineries down there.

Could be going into storage. Or. Well.
Maybe they're shipping it out someplace.

Out of the country?

Well. Galveston's on the Gulf of Mexico.
From there you can go anyplace.

Yeah. It sure can.

Look. Harry. I don't want
to impose on you...

but I need to know
where that crude is going.

Well. I'll see what
I can find out for you, Bobby.

Thanks. I appreciate it. I'd just as soon
nobody knows I'm asking too.

Sure. Bobby. Sure.

Thanks. Bye. Now.

At least not till I know
what the hell's going on.

I could have gone on
for another four hours.

You know. I think we are really
gonna like this ad campaign.

Well. It was really fun.
I haven't done too many night shoots...

and I hardly ever get a chance
to get to Galveston.

- So it was really exciting.
- Yeah. It was exciting.

And so are you.

Bill. I'd like to thank you.

You've made it very easy for me
to start working again.

There's nothing to thank me for.

Bill...

I'm really tired.

I'll see you tomorrow. Okay?

Yeah. Sure. Whatever you say.

Thank you.

I rode over to the boat dock yesterday.

I thought maybe we could take a boat out
for a sail this afternoon.

Oh. You know me and water.

Unless it's cooped up in a swimming
pool. I have a definite aversion to it.

I'll protect you.

More than enough to wet my bourbon
scares the devil out of me.

That's not true.

No. Truth is.
I have a meeting in town today.

- J.R.?
- I couldn't get out of it.

Well. This is my honeymoon.

Well. It's mine too.

This is an important meeting. It really is.

It's vital to our future.
As a matter of fact.

Then I'm going with you.

It's business.

When we started our new life together...

I wanted to make sure that
that included both family and business.

You sound like a different woman.

Lam.

And I want you to be different too.

I'm going to do everything in my power
to make sure it works this time.

So am I.

Well. If you really do mean that...

then I want a commitment from you.

No other women.

No games.

A total commitment. All the way.

That's what I did
when I married you this time. Sue Ellen.

I certainly hope so.

Because I couldn't handle it
any other way.

You won't have to.

I promise you.

Bobby. Harry Perkins is on the line.

Harry. Did you find out something?

Harwood Oil.

Harwood Oil?

In Galveston,
that's where J.R. is shipping to.

Harwood doesn't have a refinery
in Galveston.

Oh. Wait a minute.
Holly wanted to buy one.

They've also got tank farms down there
and it's even possible they're exporting.

Okay. Harry. Thanks for the information.

I do appreciate it.

Anytime. Bobby.

- Phyllis. Get me Holly Harwood.
- Yes, sir.

- Hello?
- Hal! Y, it 's Bobby Ewing here.

Bobby. Funny you should call.
I was just thinking about you.

Holly. There's something
I'd like to talk to you about.

- Yeah?
- Well. It's kind of private.

- Is it all right if I come over?
- Sure.

- I'm on my way. Bye.
- Bye.

Lucy?

- Hi.
- Hi. I'm almost ready.

Hey. Look. I'd like to apologize
to you about last night.

It wasn't your fault.

Well. I don't know.
Maybe I did come on a little too strong.

I didn't wanna
make you feel uncomfortable.

I've just had some personal problems
lately. Bill. I'm trying to work them out.

See. I thought maybe
you didn't like guys or something.

That's not it.

Okay. I'm interested in guys.

You sure?

Yeah.

You know. This is not the time.
I have a photo session to do.

Oh. I wouldn't worry about that.

I'm the client, remember?

No. I can't!

I can't. Please. Just go away.

I don't get you.

Go on! Get out of here.
Just get out of here!

Lucy. You have got some real problems.

And they're sure more than I can handle.

Thank you.

Well.

That looks nice and cool.

Dive in.

On second thought.
You better come on out. Here.

I'm really glad you called. Bobby. There's
something I wanna talk about too.

All right. What's on your mind?

No. You first.

All right.

I understand that my brother is shipping
crude to you down in Galveston.

Is that true?

Why do you wanna know?

Because I'm worried about
what he might be doing with it all.

I'm a little worried too. Bobby.

When I went to a meeting
of independent oilmen...

I had no idea
your brother had so many enemies.

Let's just say
that not everybody loves him. All right?

Bobby...

could my association with him
hurt Harwood Oil?

That all depends
on what your association is.

Is he that advisor you asked me about
when we met in the restaurant?

Yes.

But he's more than that.

He owns 25 percent of my company.

- Go ahead. Jimmy. Go ahead.
- All right.

Well. I don't have to see any more.
I'll take it.

I told you it's not for sale.

Oh. Now. Come on. Jimmy.
We both know everything's for sale.

My refinery is not.

You haven't even heard
our offer yet. Mr. Otis.

That doesn't matter. It's not for sale.

All right. Let's talk straight refining.

I got a windfall of crude
that has to be thinned out.

I can't help you there either. Mr. Ewing.

I'm talking about a couple of million
barrels going through your plant.

- I would sure like to have it.
- Then take it. I'll pay you a good price.

It's just not possible.

Did somebody tell you
not to refine my crude?

Nobody's told me anything. Mr. Ewing.

You been talking to Cliff Barnes
or Jordan Lee?

Now. I don't wanna say
they gave me a warning or nothing...

but I sure understood
my refinery would be a lot healthier...

without that dose of Ewing crude.

Jim. You can make a fortune off this.

Do you have any idea
how much oil I have to have refined?

Yes. Sir. I do.

And I don't envy you
holding onto it none. Either.

When my father died.
I was left with that company.

I didn't know how to run it.

I needed somebody who did.

But 25 percent of your company...

and of all people, to J.R.

The Ewings know the business.

I guess I chose the wrong one.

It's a little late to talk about that now.

It still doesn't answer my question.

What's he doing with all that crude
he's shipping to Galveston?

Did you buy that refinery
you told me about?

Yes.

Well. Then that must be it.

It's gotta be a fair-sized refinery...

to accommodate 30,000 barrels a day.

Yes. But most of our capacity
is taken up with prior contracts.

If J.R.'s refining a couple thousand a day.
I'd say that'd be a lot.

What the hell is he doing
with all that crude?

Hey. Dave.

You ought to be able to afford somebody
to do your roofing for you by now.

Oh. I'd miss out on all that
wonderful back pain the next day.

- How you doing?
- Fine.

I just got a minute. Is Donna around?

Yeah. She's inside. Donna.

- Yeah? Dave.
- How are you?

- Fine. How are you?
- Good. Fine.

- Good.
- Well. We did it.

New commission's been approved.
The legislature just voted it in.

Well. That's great.

Thank you for that. Honey.

- Does that mean that now I'm a member?
- Well. Yes. Ma'am.

It was your promise to fill that seat
that swung the vote.

Well. I guess I got myself a job.

You sure do.
And I've got a plane to catch.

- So I will call you from Washington.
- Okay.

- Bye.
- Bye. Dave.

- Thanks for coming by.
- All right.

Well. How about that?

You don't seem too happy about this.
Don't you want the job?

Oh. Boy. You bet I do.

I don't know. It's just Miss Ellie...

I just think it's gonna make things
that much harder on her right now.

She as much as gave you
her blessing. Donna.

Yeah. I know...

but I just wonder if she's really aware
of what that meant.

It's like Pam said the other night:

“The family is split right now
between Bobby and J.R.“

Now with me on this new commission.
It's split three ways. Guaranteed.

You don't wanna back out of it. Do you?

No.

Because I gave my word.

And I think I could make
some contributions.

I'll guarantee you that.

Tell you what.

You just do what you have to do...

and I'll take care of Miss Ellie.

You know what?

I love you.

I love you too...

commissioner.

I need to know if anybody is shipping
large quantities of crude...

out of Galveston. Mr. Eugene.

Especially in the direction
of Central or South America.

You figure that's where J.R.
is sending his?

That's a theory anyway.

Well. Why not let me hear
the whole and unrefined theory?

Well. Some of it's being
processed by Harwood.

That's just a drop in the pond.

The question is.
Where's the rest of it going?

Now. That's just part of the story.

Oh. Come on. We could've
gabbed about this on the phone.

Now. You asked me here
because you wanted this quiet.

Now. What is scaring you, Bobby?

You know. I am on your side of the war.

Mr. Eugene. I think that J.R. is selling...

to some of the countries
on our government's embargo list.

What?

That'd be beyond
the bounds of fun and games.

J.R. feels his back's against the wall.
He's got one year to beat me in profits.

Well. Selling to an embargoed country
would certainly be profitable...

if you can get away with it.

Ugly though.

And dangerous as hell.

That's why I've gotta find out
where that crude is going.

And that's where I need your help.

Well. None of my ships are carrying it.

We're booked up solid.
Stamped and sealed.

But I'll ask around.

I'd appreciate it.

I'll get back to you as soon as I can.

You know. I figure I owe you a couple.

Mr. Eugene. Needless to say...

That's right, Bobby:

"Needless to say.“"

You know...

I wouldn't wanna be in J.R.'s shoes
if the Justice Department caught him.

Then again.
I wouldn't wanna be in your shoes either.

Because the authorities
won't differentiate...

between his side
of Ewing Oil and yours.

They'll just shut down
your whole operation.

- Lucy.
- Hi. Pam.

Lucy. I've been worried about you.

Blair Sullivan called a while ago and said
you walked out on an assignment.

What happened?
You never walked out on a job before.

I don't know. It's nothing.

Oh. Lucy. Come here. Tell me.
What happened?

What?

There was this guy.

He was the client, actually.

- And he started coming on to me.
- Did he hurt you?

No. No.

Well. What happened?

Nothing. I mean...

he didn't...

Nothing really happened.

He just kissed me and he touched me.

It was nothing. I even liked him.

But he frightened you?

I went cold. Pam.

I just started shaking all over.
I was so scared.

It's okay. You're home now. It's all right.

Well. Look who's here.

Raoul.

- J.R.
- Ray.

- Let me get that for you, Sue Ellen.
- Thank you. Ray.

- Did you have a good time?
- Oh. It was lovely. Thank you.

Well. Welcome home. How was it?

- It was wonderful.
- Mama.

You're just in time for drinks.
Then we're gonna have an early dinner.

That'd be fine. Thank you.

- I'm going upstairs and see John Ross.
- All right. Darling. All right.

I don't suppose anything's been
happening while I've been away.

It's funny how life goes on sometimes
even when you're not around.

Well. Nothing in any direction
that would affect me. I suppose.

I wouldn't be too sure of that. J.R.

I've been appointed
to the new Texas Energy Commission.

Well. Miracles never cease.

We have our meeting tomorrow morning
and the first order of business...

will be to rescind that variance
you got from the OLM.

Is that a fact?

I don't think you're gonna be producing
quite so much oil after that.

Donna. I've seen commissions all my life
and I guarantee you...

before they can decide
who sits at which end...

that variance won't mean
frost on a bucket to me.

I think we should go in to dinner.

Yes. Why don't we go on in to dinner?

Well.

J.R.. I wanna talk to you.

Bobby. We're just going in to eat.

Mama. It's just gonna
take a minute. Please.

Well. Just a little while. All right?

J.R.. I know all about Galveston...

and I know about your deal
with Holly Harwood.

Sounds like you haven't been idle
since I've been gone either.

What I wanna know is what are you
doing with all that oil you're pumping?

- Sounds like you already know.
- I hope I don't. That's why I'm asking.

Bobby. I don't owe you an explanation.

I wanna achieve one thing: End of this
year. My profits are higher than yours.

And I'm gonna do it.
By any means at my disposal.

That even mean selling to a country
our government won't let you deal with?

Where'd you ever trip over
an idea like that?

- That's what you're doing. Isn't it?
- You're talking about an illegal deal. Bob.

J.R.. a move like that
will destroy all of Ewing Oil...

not just your half.
And it'll ruin our family name.

I assure you, a thought like that
never crossed my mind.

Your assurances
don't mean anything to me.

But I'll assure you of something:

Brother or no brother. Whatever it takes.
I'll stop you from destroying Ewing Oil.

You can try. Bobby.
