Dallas (1978–1991): Season 9, Episode 27 - J.R. Rising - full transcript

He was found dead a few days ago
in a Zurich hotel room.

First Grace, now Nicholas.

I wanna wake up with you.
I wanna have breakfast with you.

I want it all.

I really wish you didn't have to borrow
this much.

If you default, you could lose Ewing Oil.

The only thing that might be held against
you is Mr. Krebbs has a criminal record.

That was a suspended sentence.

It was a conviction for murder.

Now, you listen to me, Kenderson...

...there was a time
I wouldn't waste a minute on you.



I'd simply have your legs broken.

Mommy.

Ha-ha. Hi, sweetheart. Hi.

- Where'd you two sneak off to?
- The office.

The office, as in Ewing Oil office?

Daddy was showing me everything.

I'm going to work there.

Right, Daddy?

That's right, son. Just you and me.

Aren't you rushing it just a little bit?

Well, I started learning the oil business
when I was John Ross' age, no harm in that.

Of course, I still have to finish school.

Of course.

Uh, and speaking of school,
uh, you better hit the sack, son.



Tomorrow's gonna sneak up on you.

Yes, sir.

- Good night, Mommy.
- Good night, sweetheart.

Good night, partner.

Good night, partner.

Love you.

Homework?

- Yes.
- Well, I don't know how you can do it.

It always looks so comfortable
in front of a fire...

...but unless I'm sitting at my desk,
I just lose all concentration.

I'm finding out the same thing.

Work going all right?

It's just fine.

Well, the reason I ask you,
you look a little edgy.

It's not the job.

I ran into Mandy Winger this afternoon.

Oh?

She said that you've stopped seeing her.

Well, I told you that myself
a long time ago.

She said that you gave her up
for another woman.

That the other woman was me.

Does that upset you?

Is that your way of pressuring me?

Pressuring you into what?

Into breaking up with Jerry Kenderson?

- I don't give a damn about your lover.
- He is not my lover.

- Oh, I see.
- No, you don't see.

I don't want you dropping Mandy for me.

I don't want you doing anything
because of me.

Well, darling,
I'm just doing what I have to do.

And you do what you have to do.

It's no big deal.

The cover of Paris Match is no big deal?

The cover of Elle is no big deal?
Or vogue?

I don't care about those magazines.
And I don't care about the money.

Well, do you care about your life?

Do you care about your career?

I'm trying to tell you there are
too many things up in the air.

Uh-huh. You mean J.R.

Yeah, I mean J.R.

The guy dumped you, for crying out loud.

It's all over between you two.
Now, you told me that yourself.

- We've broken up before.
- And you will break up again.

- When are you gonna learn?
- Learn what?

He's not worth it.
You are throwing your life away...

...on a guy who never deserved you
in the first place.

You just don't understand.

Look, I made some mistakes too.

Well, whatever they were, they are not near
as big as the one you're about to make.

Offers like this do not come along
every day.

And I'm flattered you thought of me first.

I am not trying to flatter you.

I am trying to hire you.

Look, Mandy...

...this would be a perfect opportunity
for you to spend some time away from J.R.

It'll do you good.

I don't know, Dale.

If you expect an answer tonight,
I can't give you one.

Fine, that's fine.

Sleep on it.

And then sleep on it again if you have to.
Just as long as the answer is yes.

Dale?

Thanks.

I'll call you in a day or two.

Yeah.

I think we can leave the horses here.
Yeah.

- This is it, huh?
- Yes, sir.

I'd like to build the stables right up here
next to this stand of trees.

This the land Bobby left you?

Yes, sir.

I think he would've approved.

I'm sure he would.

We're gonna need a couple
of cutting pens.

Hey, Jack, what do you think?

Sounds great, sounds great.

Hey, Jack, what is it?

Is there something wrong with this plan
of ours that's, uh, bothering you?

No. No, I think it's a real good plan.

No, to tell you the truth,
I just don't think it's right for me.

I've been giving serious thought
maybe to leaving Dallas...

...and, well,
trying my luck someplace else.

Well, you haven't had
an easy go of it here.

No, sir, I haven't.

Neither did I
when I first came to Southfork.

Yeah, but that was different.

Nope, it's never different.

It's never been easy for anybody, Jack.

Jamie know how you feel?

She's upset...

...which is the one reason
I haven't left already.

Well, we'll give you
a couple of other reasons.

We got a real good little business
started here.

These quarter horses are some of the best
you're gonna lay your eyes on.

You'd be breeding them, racing them,
showing them off like a proud papa.

Not to mention all the money you're
gonna make on futurities, the sales...

...the stud fees.

That's not the real reason.

The main reason is the way we'd feel
if you left.

Yeah, we're getting kind of used to you
around here.

And I can tell you
that Miss Ellie and Donna...

...and the rest of the family
feel the same way.

Those are some good reasons.

Mm-hm.

If you don't have to rush your decision,
don't rush it.

Come on.
Let's go take a look at that riverbed.

Where'd you get these statistics?

Are you suggesting we get out
of the oil business?

- No, not completely.
- The profit's not there anymore.

You guys know that.

But as you can see, there are huge profits
in some of the newer technologies.

I'm an old oilman.

Yeah, it is kind of late in my life
to be starting a second career.

Yeah, well, you may be too old,
but I'm intrigued.

See, I knew you would be.

Why are you letting us in on this?
Why not keep the profits for yourself?

Hey, I wish I could. I can't afford it.

I mean, none of us can alone.

But together, in a partnership.

I don't know.

If we don't change
the financial bases of our companies...

...we're begging for trouble.

And the next century will not be run
on petroleum like this one was.

See, but by forming a consortium,
we can afford to diversify...

...without straining any one
of our own budgets.

And by forming a consortium...

...we would automatically be on your side
in case you came to blows with Ewing Oil.

Has nothing to do with Ewing Oil.

I wouldn't want J.R. To think
that joining hands with you...

...meant picking a fight with him.

Especially since he's buying back
the Marinos deal.

What do you mean, buying back?

Well, at one point,
we took over one of his investments.

Uh, the deal turned sour,
as you undoubtedly know...

...and he offered to share in our losses,
50 cents on the dollar.

My dear friends,
I don't know what J.R. Had in mind...

...when he suckered you
in on the deal to begin with...

...but if he's buying anything back, it's
because there's a profit in it for him, period.

Because he doesn't give a damn
about your losses.

When are you gonna get over
your paranoia?

When are you gonna realize
what you're dealing with...

...when you're dealing with J.R. Ewing?

Well, I really appreciate you getting this
line of credit for me so quickly, Franklin.

I wouldn't have done it for anyone else.

Well, I'm flattered. I really am.

I didn't mean it that way.

If it were anyone else
borrowing this amount of money...

...I wouldn't recommend
that they take the risks involved.

Life is a risk.

I really wish you didn't have to
borrow this much.

Well, I have mountains to move.

And a huge balloon payment to make
in a very short period of time.

Well, I'll just have to hurry up
and make a profit, won't I?

If you default, you could lose Ewing Oil.
I worry for you.

Don't worry.
Just remember who you're dealing with.

Sly?

Well, so far,
everything seems to be in order.

It's an awful lot of paperwork.

Not even the beginning.

How much more do you need to know
about us?

Well, there are a lot of steps
to this process...

...and a lot of people are involved
in this decision...

...as to whether you two
will qualify as adoptive parents.

Now, that's for the child's protection,
you understand.

Sure.

I don't think
you have a lot to worry about.

You're a couple of very comfortable means,
a solid marriage.

Donna, you work with special children,
you sign.

Now, that makes you an ideal candidate.

- I'm learning to sign too.
- Yes, so you said.

Actually, the only thing I can think of
that might be held against you...

...is the fact that
Mr. Krebbs has a criminal record.

That was a suspended sentence.

It was a conviction for murder.

Mickey Trotter.

You can talk to his parole officer.

Well, you can be sure that we will.

Look...

...while I take care of this red tape...

...why don't you meet
with Tony's foster parents?

There's a lot you have to learn
about him still.

It's a good idea.

I'll set it up. I'll give you a call.

- Thank you.
Mm-hm.

Thank you.

Mickey Trotter was my nephew.

I loved that boy.

I'm so happy for you, Pam.

Mark's a wonderful man.

Yes, he is.

Have you decided on a wedding date?

No, we're in the throes
of that decision right now.

It's going to be soon, though.

Hmm, it's beautiful.

I remember when I had a rock like that.

It was during my last great lost weekend.

I woke up one morning...
I think it was morning.

- In a motel room
surrounded by empty liquor bottles.

Bartenders call them dead Indians.

But I'll tell you who felt dead.

I don't remember a thing
that happened the night before.

I'm a firm believer that blackouts
are a blessing in disguise.

At any rate, it was while I was staggering
around the room, shaking each bottle...

...to make sure
I wasn't missing something...

...that I noticed that my diamond ring
was missing from my finger.

It was nowhere.

It was gone.

I think I might have even sold it
for a fifth of vodka.

Well, those were bad times.

It doesn't do you any good
to talk about it now.

Oh, yes, it does.

It keeps me sober.

Well, look how far you've come
since that lost weekend.

How far have I come?

Everyone that knows you
is proud of you.

Ha-ha. Yes, even J.R.

Well, that must make you feel very good.

Not actually, it confuses me.

Well, I don't see why.

He's your husband.
It's natural that he should show his pride.

It's more than pride.

Up until now, J.R. And I have stayed
together for John Ross' sake.

We only pretend to be married.

Up until now?

He wants to stop pretending.

And how do you feel about that?

Scared.

Very, very scared.

There's a
Roy Wheloch on line three for you.

- Who?
- Roy Wheloch from Austin.

He says he has to talk to you.

All right.

This is Dr. Kenderson. May I help you?

This the Dr. Kenderson...

...head of the whole research center?
- Yeah, that's right.

Well, this is Big Roy Wheloch.

- Yes, sir, what can I, uh, do for you?
- Have dinner.

- I beg your pardon?
- Dinner.

I'm only in town for a few hours,
so there's not much time to talk.

- Talk about what?
- A donation.

I heard your work is some of the best
being done in this state or anywhere else.

Yes, sir. We like to think so.

Well, I'm personally interested
in your research...

...and I'm contemplating
a very hefty donation...

...but I would like to meet you first.

Well, I'm very flattered, but we have
an administrator who takes charge of...

I don't wanna talk to an administrator.

I wanna talk to a doctor.
The doctor in charge.

You impress me, I'll write a big check.
You don't, I won't.

Dinner, you say?

Seven o'clock, Dorcy's Steakhouse.

Oh, by the way, I'm a meat-eating man.
Hope you are.

Uh, 7:00 at Dorcy's, right.

Well, how'd I do?

You did fine, Big Roy.

Now all you have to do
is show up five minutes late.

Thanks, Brit.

Hi.

Did you ever hear of a guy
named Big Roy Wheloch from Austin?

- Who?
- Yeah, me either.

He called, he's in town for a few hours
and he demanded to have dinner with me...

...so we could discuss
making a very large donation.

- That's nice.
- I knew you'd think so.

Dorcy's at 7, okay?

Whoa, wait a minute.

Don't count me in on that.

Well, you're the fundraiser.

Not tonight, I'm not.

Now, let me get this straight.

You're gonna pass up the opportunity
to have dinner with me and Big Roy?

I already have a date.

- Oh?
- AA.

Oh, right, right, right.

All right, dinner tomorrow night, then.

With Big Roy?

With big me.

I'll, uh, fill you in
on how well I did your job tonight.

- It's the least you could do.
- All right, tomorrow night.

Good shot.

Anyway, she'd just come out to tell me
that Whitley Hall isn't that great.

She wish she'd never moved.

Hey, great.

Well, maybe it's not
the school's fault at all.

Maybe she just misses
what she left behind, huh?

Hamilton Junior High?

No, you.

She can still write to me.

Well, I can write to you too,
but it's not the same as seeing you.

Uh, or doing this.

She never liked guns.
No, you know what I mean.

Yeah, I know what you mean.

We were thinking
about moving to New York.

You are?

Were.

We've decided to stay at Southfork.

I have to admit, I don't think
I would've liked the Big Apple.

Don't be too sure.

New York is a great city.

Probably one of the most exciting cities
in the world.

- Have you ever been there?
- Ha-ha. You bet I have.

Well, if it was so great,
why didn't you stay?

Well, I, uh, used to move around a lot.

How come?

Never had any reason to stay.

- Do you now?
- Shh.

Well, I could give your mother
some lessons.

That's very funny.

Really, that is very, very funny.

Hmm...

Huh.
- Maybe she can give me lessons.

Ha-ha.
That's very good.

And here we are. Ha-ha.

Tony's been a real good boy,
real helpful around the house.

Fit in perfectly since the day he arrived.

Tony's been with you
for two years, you say?

Mm, just about.
Doesn't seem that long, though.

We would've adopted Tony ourselves,
except we couldn't afford to.

As foster parents,
we get aid from the state.

We couldn't raise him without that.

Mama, when are
Timmy and Linda coming home?

Well, just about an hour, honey.

Then we're having supper?

Then we're having supper.
Hey, no more cookies.

Okay.

I don't know where she puts it all. Ha-ha.

She's adorable. How old is she?

Ten. She's Brenda.

Tony's favorite.

The two of them have a special way
of communicating.

She's really gonna miss him.

Oh, Brenda and the rest of them,
they can visit Tony any time they want.

We'll see.

Tony doesn't know
that we're here, does he?

No, Tony doesn't know a thing, but I think
the other kids sense something's going on.

When are you planning on talking to him?

Well, uh, just as soon as the case worker
tells us that we can.

I think she's just, you know, waiting
to get all the paperwork in order first.

Look, I know that this can't be easy.

People coming into your home
and asking you all sorts of questions...

...about a child that you've raised.

We love Tony.

But we always knew
this day would come.

We're real grateful to you
for letting us see how Tony lives.

You got a great family here.

Yeah.

We just hope that we can give him
as much love as you've given him.

It wasn't hard.

- Can I bring you another Bloody Bull, sir?
- Yes, please.

Well, Kenderson.

Having dinner
with my wife tonight, are you?

Unfortunately, I'm not.

Oh, well, good, good.

Because I'd hate to ask
you two to leave...

...but you can understand
how something like that...

...would just ruin
a husband's appetite.

I didn't think your appetite was for food.

Now, you listen to me, Kenderson.

There was a time
I wouldn't waste a minute on you.

I'd simply have your legs broken.

Well, congratulations.
You've come a long way.

Well, obviously, you haven't.

- What's that mean?
- I mean, with my wife.

You see, when Sue Ellen decides to have
an affair, she has one of two kinds:

The passionate variety,
which is the leg-breaker...

...or the buddy-buddy kind, like you got.

- That a fact?
- Yes.

You see, I live in the same house
as she does.

- I can tell when someone has lit her fire.
- Can you?

And once Sue Ellen decides
what kind of affair she's going to have...

...she never changes her mind.

You Dr. Kenderson?

Do I look like a doctor?

What's a doctor look like?

That looks like a doctor.

You're Dr. Kenderson?

You must be Big Roy.

Yes, sir, and I am as hungry as a horse.

I hope they've got a steak for me
as big as the state of Texas.

Where's the waitress?

I could use something
to wash the dust down.

- What do you think?
- I think we should do it.

Boy, you guys are really asking for it.

- You looked like you needed to cool off.
Ha-ha. Oh, is that right, huh?

Besides, you promised to teach us
a racing dive.

Got you there, Jack.

Ha-ha-ha. Kids. Okay, come on.
Let's go, let's go.

They sure have a lot of fun with him,
don't they?

What about you?

Is there any chance that you and Jack
can pick up where you left off?

Well, the friendship's still there, but I think
that's all either one of us wants right now.

What about you?

Hmm. What about me?

How's it going with Dr. Kenderson?

- You had to ask.
- You don't have to answer.

I don't have an answer.

Jerry's wonderful.
I really enjoy being with him.

- Sounds promising.
- It is.

But?

Maybe I saw too many Doris Day movies
when I was growing up.

She always seemed to know
what to do in a romance.

She had a way
of making things look easy.

Relationships.

Yeah.

Ray, let's not get ahead of ourselves.
Now, I thought we had an agreement...

...that we wouldn't hire any more hands
until we finished with the new stables.

Clayton, we're not talking
about your average ranch hand.

We're talking about men with a lot of
experience raising this kind of horseflesh.

Uh-huh.
- These men are hard to find.

Quicker we put the word out
that we're looking, the better.

We'd better run it by Jack
and see how he feels about it.

Well, now's as a good time as any.

Oh, no, it's not.

This is supposed to be your day off.

- Ha-ha.
- Too much business talk, huh?

- See how fast he picked up on that?
- He's henpecked.

Excuse me. Mr. Krebbs,
there's a phone call for you.

- You can take it in the kitchen.
- Thank you.

J.R.
- Hey, Ray.

Hi.

Hello?

No, not at all. I'm glad you called.

Okay, here we go.

Daddy, watch this.

- All right.
Yay!

- How was it?
- Looked like a champ, son.

That's a nice suit you got there,
Sue Ellen.

Thanks.

Made a reservation at the Oil Baron's
tonight for John Ross and myself.

Gonna be having a little dinner. If you don't
have any plans, thought you might join us.

Uh, I do have plans, but thank you.

Well, can't hurt to ask, I suppose.

I appreciate it.

- That was Nan Culp.
- Yeah?

They finished our preliminary review
and our application is looking real good.

- Congratulations.
- Oh, that's great, Ray.

Okay. What's next?

She's putting together
a case history on Tony...

...and we're supposed to go down
and go over it with her on Monday.

Before we go ahead with anything else...

...she thought that, uh,
now was the time for us...

...to approach Tony with our idea.

Well, let's just hope that Tony thinks
it's as good an idea as we do.

Well, of course he will.

J.R.

Hi, Jack.

Didn't expect to be seeing you so soon.

I think I owe you an apology.

I blamed you more than I should have
for what happened in Martinique.

You got that right.

Now that I'm staying clear of Ewing Oil,
I don't see why we can't get along.

Yeah, all right. Fine with me.

Can I get you anything,
Mr. Ewing?

No, thank you, Teresa. I'm fine.

I guess you read in there
about our friend Nicholas, huh?

Well, yeah, I heard
the authorities released him, yeah.

I think you better check
on page number four.

He was found dead a few days ago
in a Zurich hotel room.

First Grace, now Nicholas.

Kind of makes you wonder, doesn't it?

Well, I'll be damned.

So this is the spot
that you were thinking about?

Well, I thought we'd have the ceremony
in the garden area...

...and then we'd go down to the pool area
and have the reception and the dinner.

Oh, great.

Good catch, Christopher, go.

You haven't heard a word I said.

I've heard everything,
it's not for me.

I tell you, Pam,
that brother of yours is something else.

He never stops.

What is it this time?

Oh, he has a crazy notion to diversify.

Oil prices are falling,
so he wants to bring together the cartel...

...Mark and you
and form a new corporation.

- To do what?
- To invest in some high-tech industries.

- Who does he think he's kidding?
- What do you mean?

Well, I can't be sure, but it sounds like
another one of his schemes to go after J.R.

I don't know.
Cliff swears it has nothing to do with J.R.

Ha. That'll be the day.

Well, it may sound funny,
but I really believe him this time.

I truly think that he's put this fight
with J.R. Behind him.

I certainly hope so.

This is the first time
J.R.'s ever had total control of Ewing Oil.

And I don't think
Cliff's any match for that.

Well, at least, please, take a look at it,
will you, huh?

Well, I guess it's my job
to make sure that Cliff keeps his word.

Well, if you need any help,
will you let me know?

Ha-ha. You bet.

Senor Cantrell.

Senor Cantrell.

Dora Mae.
Good evening, Mr. Ewing.

And who do we have here?

Well, you haven't met my son.

John Ross, this is Dora Mae,
the prettiest hostess in Texas.

- Hi.
- It's a pleasure to meet you.

Your table is ready.
If you'll please follow me.

Mm-hm.

Cassie will be over in a minute
to take your drink order.

Enjoy your dinner.

Thanks for bringing me here, Daddy.

This is great.

It's just the beginning, son.

- Good evening, Mr. Ewing.
- Hi, Cassie.

Hi. And I understand you're John Ross.

- Welcome.
- Thanks.

I'll have my usual.

I'll have what my daddy's having.

Hmm. Ginger ale.

Hey, Jordan.

Who's that?

Uh, Jordan Lee.
He's a member of the cartel.

Do you do a lot of business with him?

Mm-hm. Yeah, from time to time.

Well, what do you say we have the two
biggest steaks they got in this house?

Sure.

Did you ask Mama
if she wanted to come tonight?

Yes, yes, I did.
She had something else to do.

Sure is fun when we all go out together.

You want things the way
they used to be, don't you?

Mm-hm.

I'll tell you a secret. So do I.

I'm doing everything in my power to get
your mama and me back together again.

Do you really think you will?

Yes, I do.

And if I'm not mistaken, soon.

Real soon. Ha.

Maybe a toast would help.

What should we toast?

How about to a better start than the one
we've gotten off to this evening?

I'm sorry.

I really don't know
what's bothering me tonight.

Yep.

Well, I know what's bothering me.

Working with you all day is great.

Having dinner with you is great,
even holding your hand is great.

But I want more.

I wanna wake up with you, Sue Ellen.
I wanna have breakfast with you.

I want it all, and I'm not so sure you do.

I'm still trying to figure out what I want.

Well, I'm all for that, but can you at least
tell me that I'm part of the picture?

I can't say that. Not now, anyway.

You remember how we talked...

...about what your relationship with Dusty
was like toward the end?

Well, ours is beginning to feel
a whole lot like that one.

Believe me, it has crossed my mind.

And if that's the way it's going to be, I
don't think it's fair to either one of us...

...to let it go on.

No, it wouldn't be fair.

Look, I'm as committed
to this relationship as I can be.

The rest is up to you.

Now, I don't expect you
to make up your mind this minute.

But for both our sakes,
you'd better do it soon.

Sue Ellen?

J.R.

I just, uh, put John Ross to bed. Probably
still awake, if you care to look in on him.

I will.

He sure missed you being with us.
We had a grand old time at the Oil Baron's.

Yeah, I'm glad.

And afterwards, uh, he wanted to stop
by the office, learn more about Ewing Oil.

He just can't seem to get enough
of the oil business.

Just like his father.

Ha. Yeah. Well, won't be long before
we're working side by side...

...and nothing can make me happier
than that.

I think it's wonderful that you're spending
so much time with John Ross.

Yeah.

Well, I better look in on him
before it gets too late.

Good night.

How was your evening?

Fine.

Just fine.

So you got my message, huh?

Hmm. I'm here, aren't I?
What seems to be the problem?

Get your feet off my desk
and get out of my chair.

It is one thing for you to play
this charade out for Mrs. Ewing's benefit.

What you do up in the hills
is your business.

Well, at least we agree on something.

But when the men you've hired
come into town...

...and start making trouble,
then it becomes my business.

Well, they work hard, they play hard.
They're just blowing off a little steam.

And I have to clean up after them?
I don't like it.

I am afraid I have to put an end
to your charade.

I'm shutting down the mining operation.

It's not a charade, Rueda.

Ha. You might be able
to fool Mrs. Ewing...

...into believing that you can
find emeralds, but not me.

What do you call these?

Perhaps I was mistaken.

I told you they were there, Rueda.

So you did.

It looks like you've become
a very rich man.

You know something?

I don't even care
about the money anymore.

Of course you don't.

Well, let's get back...

...to the burden my men are placing
on Los Gatos.

Oh.

I think we might be able
to work something out, Senor Cantrell.

Tony will be out in a minute. I asked him
to change his shirt before he saw you.

- You didn't have to do that.
- You didn't see his shirt.

Ha-ha. It was a mess when
he finished helping Norm fix the car.

Please, make yourselves comfortable.

How do you feel?
I'm getting a little nervous.

I'm scared to death.

How do you ask a little boy
if he wants to become your son?

I think you just ask him.

Show me that thing again. Oh.

Hi.

Tony.
Hi.

Hi. How are you?

Fine.

Um, the Cranes didn't tell you
why we're here, did they?

Did I do something wrong at school?

Oh, no. No, no, no. Nothing like that.

Donna and I are real fond of you.

We care a great deal about you.

I care about you too.

The Cranes have given you
a real fine home here.

But it's a foster home.

And we'd like to give you
a permanent home with us.

With us.

I don't understand.

Well, if you're interested...

...we want to become...

...your parents.

There's nothing in the whole world
that would make us happier...

...than having you as our son.

We want to adopt you.

Look, I know that this comes
as a big surprise...

...and that you need time
to think about it.

I'm happy here.

Well, sure you're happy here.

But we think you're gonna be happy
with us.

You're gonna be happy with us.

Southfork is a great place
for a boy to grow up.

Grow up.

Why are you doing this?

Because we love you very much.

I don't want you to adopt me.
Please don't do it.

Well, it's your choice, Tony.

We just want you to know
that you have a home with us...

...if you'd like to...

Thank you, Mr. Lee.
And here's your check...

...which completes Ewing Oil's buy-back
of your share of the Marinos venture.

- Thank you, Mr. Bradley. Your check.
- Don't spend it all in one place, Andy.

Appreciate the advice, J.R.

Is there something wrong, Mrs. Stone?

Are you having second thoughts
about my offer, Marilee?

As a matter of fact, I am.

Well, what's the problem?

Something Cliff said keeps bothering me.

Oh. Well, how could anything
that lamebrain have to say bother you?

We all know you're not doing this
out of the kindness of your heart.

Well, Marilee, if you wanna hang on
to your share, be my guest, darling.

You'll be cutting by one-third
the loss I'm absorbing.

No. I want out.

No matter what you're really up to.

Ha. Well, now that that's taken care of,
can I build anybody a drink?

- No, thanks, J.R. I'm on my way.
- Ha-ha.

Well, Jordan, always a pleasure
doing business with you.

You take care.

Marilee.

J.R.
- Andy.

You realize you just traded
a third of your credit line...

...for a project that's dead in the water.

I hope you know what you're doing.

I always do.

Say, Sly, get Alex Garrett
on the phone for me, would you?

Yeah? Put him on.

Alex, how you doing?

Oh, fine, fine, thank you.

I just wanted to let you know that
everything on my end is finally in place.

Yes, yes.

Uh, feel free to announce that the Marinos
drilling venture is a go project.

Well, just as soon as you can.

That's right.

Things just couldn't be going any better.

Talk to you.
