Dallas (1978–1991): Season 9, Episode 4 - Resurrection - full transcript

J.R. committed me to this place
and I can't leave unless he says I can?

I want you to assure me...

that if someone from outside the family
tries to buy your share of Ewing Oil...

- now, you'll turn them down flat.
- Of course I would.

There will be a position in it for
you if you hang in with Jamie and me.

Ah, you got it.

[DOOR OPENS]

Pam, it's so good
to see you here.

Thanks.

Why didn't you let us
know you were coming in?

Well, I didn't know
myself until an hour ago.



- Is Cliff in?
- Oh, yes, let me...

Oh, don't bother.

I, uh, just think I'll go into my
office and sort through the mail.

Okay. It's all on your desk.

Okay, thanks.

What a nice surprise. Glad
to see you back at work again.

Well, I thought it was time I
came in and got some things done.

Hey, this is the
best thing for you.

It's better than moping
around the house all day.

You know, you get to work and
get your mind off your troubles.

Yeah.

I see you got a lot of
work, so I'll let you get at it.

And I'll call you back,
uh, for lunch, okay?

- Sure.
- Okay.



[DOOR CLOSES]

Miss Ellie, it's Mr. Wendell.

Oh, thank you.

Thanks.

Hello, Jeremy? How are you?

Oh, I'm getting along.

I'm sorry I haven't
sent the notes out yet,

but I do wanna thank
you for your flowers.

They were lovely.

We all share your loss, I
just wanted you to know that.

But there is another
reason for my calling.

I'd like to take you to lunch today
and talk to you about something.

Oh? Talk to me about what?

Well, I'd rather discuss it
in person if you don't mind.

Could you make it,
say, at 1 at Les Saisons?

Yes, I suppose so.

Uh, is it all right if I
ask Clayton to join us?

Good.

I'll see you there. Bye.

What was that all about, huh?

I wish I knew.

J.R.: Yeah, well, you just
keep doing what you're doing.

MAN [OVER PHONE]:
Just stay on it?

- Right. Keep doing
it till I tell you to quit.

MAN: Whatever you say, sir.

I'll be expecting your call.

[PHONE RINGING]

MANDY [ON MACHINE]: Hi.

Sorry I'm not home right now, but if
you'll leave your name and number...

I'll call you back
as soon as I can...

- J.R.?
- Is Franklin Horner here yet?

- Uh, yes, he arrived just...
- Would you just send him in?

Yes, sir. Right this way.

Thank you. Morning, J.R.

Franklin, good to see you.
Little coffee or something?

- Not a thing, thanks.
- Uh-huh. Thank you, darling.

Yes, sir.

Well, I think you've
got yourself a deal.

Cattleman's Bank has pulled in a few
partners to get up all the necessary cash.

We're gonna give
you that line of credit...

so you can go ahead and buy out
your nephew's share of Ewing Oil.

I can't tell you how
much that pleases me.

Puts you in a mighty
powerful position, J.R.

Yes. Yes, it does.

But even more than that, it
keeps Ewing Oil in the family.

As far as I'm concerned, that's
a hell of a lot more important.

Well, it looks as though
things are going your way, huh?

Yes, let's hope so.

[CHUCKLES]

I just don't understand.

How long was I there?

You were in detox a day
and a half, Mrs. Ewing.

It saved your life.

So, Dr. Langtry, what
you really mean is...

What I really mean
is it saved your life.

In a less controlled
environment...

withdrawing that alcohol from your body
could have had serious consequences.

You're lucky you survived.

Not everybody does.

SUE ELLEN: And now?

Now you're gonna have to
learn how to live without drinking...

and it isn't going to be easy.

And how long is it gonna
take you to teach me that?

You're going to have to learn
how to do that on your own.

All we can do here is to keep
you away from the alcohol.

After that...

I would strongly suggest...

that you commit yourself
to our voluntary program.

Fine.

Let me go home
and I'll think about it.

I can't let you do that.

Why not?

Because when your husband
signed the papers to commit you here...

Commit me?

Do you mean to tell me that
J.R. committed me to this place...

and I can't leave
unless he says I can?

So...

I'm in jail...

and he has the key.

WENDELL: I guess that's all.

All right. Thank you very much.

- Thank you.
- Thank you.

I'll lay them right on
the table, Miss Ellie.

I want... Westar
wants to buy Ewing Oil.

Well, J.R. runs the company.
Shouldn't you be talking to him?

J.R. runs the company
for the moment.

No one knows what's
gonna happen...

once Pamela takes an active interest
in overseeing her son's 30 percent.

I've come to you, Miss Ellie,
because since Jock died...

you have held the Ewings
and Ewing Oil together.

I don't think I'm talking out of school
when I tell you it's common knowledge...

you haven't always had
an easy time of it, either.

Well, every family
has its problems.

We just haven't been able to always keep
ours as private as we might have liked to.

Well, I'm prepared to make
you a substantial offer...

for your 10 percent right now...

and I intend to extend a similar
offer to the rest of your family.

What makes you think
that I'd consider selling?

Or, for that matter, that I'd try
to convince my family to do so?

That is what you
want me to do, isn't it?

Yes, ma'am, it is, frankly.

I think Ewing Oil has become
a burden to you, to all of you.

Aren't you being just
a little presumptuous?

Well, you know I'm not making this
offer out of the goodness of my heart.

There's no question the company
would be a very attractive addition...

to my company's assets.

We've never had a
takeover bid before...

but we're not strangers to
fights for control of the company...

and I don't want J.R. and the
family to be put through another one.

No, that's just it. There
doesn't have to be a fight.

J.R. can build his own new company
with his proceeds from the sale...

free and clear, his alone.

Think what you would be
putting behind you once and for all.

Will you consider it?

SALESMAN: Wanna
take it for a spin?

Let me just look a
little bit more, okay?

SALESMAN: I'll be in the office.

- Let me know when you're ready.
- Okay, thanks.

Jack, do you realize how
much this thing costs?

If I have to ask, I
can't afford it. Ha, ha.

Well, I think that
you should ask.

Come on. Let me just
have some fun, okay?

I'm not buying.
I'm just looking.

JAMIE: Okay.

Oh.

If I'm gonna be in the Ewing Oil business,
I should look like it, don't you think?

Besides, I don't wanna be an
embarrassment to Miss Ellie or J.R...

or your new
sister-in-law Pamela.

I don't know how much longer...

Pam's going to be involved
in the Ewing Oil business.

J.R. has offered to buy her out.

No kidding? She gonna sell?

I don't know. Cliff sure
doesn't want her to.

Well, that doesn't surprise me.

I wonder if J.R. is gonna
wanna buy back my piece too.

You never know
what J.R.'s going to do.

Hey, Mama.

Well, you're home early, J.R.

Yeah, well, I was gonna
do a little quiet reading...

but Teresa said you
wanted to see me, so...

You'll let me know
how she is, won't you?

MAN: Splint's coming
off in the morning.

- Good. I'll be by to see her then.
- Yes, ma'am.

Well?

Clayton and I had lunch
with Jeremy Wendell today.

He wants to buy my
share of Ewing Oil.

[LAUGHING]

Don't that beat all? I tell you,
that man's something else.

Jeremy's argument made more
sense to me than I thought it would.

What?

- You don't actually mean...
- Now, let me finish.

Jeremy said that he's gonna
offer the same deal to all of us.

It's a fair offer and I think
that we should consider it.

Mama, are you crazy?

No. No, I'm not crazy.

What I am is tired.

Tired of the
fighting and the pain.

It seems to me that
all the company has

meant to all of us
these past years is pain.

Think about it, J.R. This
could be the way out of it all.

When I look down that road...

what I see is the same torment for
my grandsons as I saw for my sons.

God knows I didn't
want that for you...

and I don't want that for them.

I wish it hadn't been that way.

I know, but what I'm trying to say
now is that we can put it all behind us.

You can start fresh. We all can.

You sound like your
mind's already made up.

No. No, not entirely.

But I do have to tell you...

that I'm strongly considering
what Jeremy had to say...

and I suggest that
you do the same, J.R.

[INTERCOM BUZZES]

Yes?

JACKIE [OVER INTERCOM]:
Mr. Bauer is calling...

about your statement
for the annual report.

Pam?

Um, I'll have to
call him back later.

Okay, but he needs
it by tomorrow.

Well, I'll do the best I can.

Hello?

Yes.

I have already been
waiting for five minutes.

Tell her that my time is
just as valuable as hers is...

and she can call me back later.

[INTERCOM BUZZES]

What?

JACKIE: A messenger
is here for the contracts.

I haven't read them yet, Jackie.

JACKIE: Should
I tell him to wait?

Yes... No, tell him
to come back later.

JACKIE: It's almost 5:00.

All right. Well, I'll
read them right now.

- How you doing?
- I'm fine.

- You sure?
- I said, I'm fine.

You know, I've
gotta get out of here.

I left Christopher at
home all alone all day.

- It's not like you haven't done it before.
- Nothing's the same as before.

Good night.

Huh.

Okay, she's leaving
now. I'll stay on her.

RAY: Sure. That will be fine.

I'll see you then.

- Who was that?
- Jeremy Wendell.

Come on over
here and sit down...

and look what your
husband has made for you.

I made you some
nice hot chocolate.

- Sit right here.
- Thank you.

What did he want?

He said he wanted to talk to me.

About what?

I don't know. He had some
kind of proposition to make.

Boy, you know
what? I am so sleepy.

I had no idea that being
pregnant could make you so tired.

You just drink this hot chocolate
before you nod off again.

I'm gonna show you something.

Look right here. See?

Just like you wanted it.

I made the baby's room bigger,

Added a balcony to
the master bedroom.

What do you think?

Hey...

Uh, now, we can't
stay like this all night.

Just give me one reason why not.

Well, because there are a few more
changes that I might like to make.

Now, I'd like you to take a look at these
and sign them where Bobby would have.

Ah, I'd also like you to do
them just as soon as possible.

Well, what's the rush?

Well, uh, business doesn't
come to a standstill...

just because this family's
in mourning, you know.

Well, I certainly didn't
mean to hold you up.

I just can't seem to keep
my mind on anything.

I miss Bobby so much.

I know. I know. We all do.

I'll have these papers to you by
tomorrow. Is that soon enough?

Oh, that will be just fine.

How is everything at
Barnes-Wentworth?

I heard you went in yesterday.

Well, yes, I did.

I don't think I got very
much accomplished, though.

First day back is
always the roughest.

Pam, I hate to bring
this up right now...

but has Jeremy Wendell made an
offer for Christopher's share of Ewing Oil?

That's why you came
out here today, isn't it?

Well, it is important.

He made an offer to Mama, and I
like to think I'm as smart as he is...

so I assume he made
the same offer to you.

Christopher's share is pivotal.

I think that you ought
to be leaving now.

I have heard enough about
Ewing Oil to last me a lifetime.

- Well, I'd like you to think about Bobby.
- What about Bobby?

He left his part of the company
to his son, Christopher, a Ewing.

I want you to think what it
would do to his memory...

if you sold to someone
outside the family.

Oh!

Pam, I can see you're
under a lot of strain.

I'd like to lessen that strain
for you at a more-than-fair price.

Oh, well, that's so kind of you.

Well, I'm under quite
a bit of strain myself...

what with Sue Ellen in
the sanitarium and all.

I heard and I feel
just awful about it.

Well, she didn't
leave us any choice.

Mama insisted that we commit
her and I think she was right.

Can I see her?

No, not now. They're not
allowing anybody to see her.

Pam, with Bobby gone...

it's up to me to keep this family
together to the best of my ability...

and part of that is keeping
Ewing Oil together for the family.

For Christopher's family.

CLAYTON: Steven, I'm not
gonna tell you again. Stay out of it.

DUSTY: I can't stay out of it.

I've got to see Sue Ellen and
tell her that I'm here for her.

CLAYTON: She doesn't need you.

What Sue Ellen needs
right now is medical attention.

All you can offer
her is false hope.

DUSTY: It's not false hope.
I'm offering her a whole new life.

CLAYTON: Steven, worry
about your own for a while.

DUSTY: Who's gonna worry
about Sue Ellen, huh? J.R.?

CLAYTON: Well,
he is married to her.

He has done the right thing
by having her committed.

DUSTY: If J.R.'s done the right
thing, it had to have been by mistake.

Thanks for lunch.

Steven, I think I know how
you feel about Sue Ellen...

but the circumstances are wrong.

If, when she's discharged, she
and J.R. don't stay together...

then there will be
time for the two of you.

Just think about it.

Ah, there must be some
boy in school you think is cute.

Come on.

Well, there is one boy...

but I don't even think
he knows I'm alive.

He always ignores me.

Well, in that case, you can
be sure he knows you're alive.

- Huh?
- Sure. That's how boys are.

The more they ignore a
girl, the more they like her.

I bet this guy's crazy
about you. Ha, ha.

JENNA: Charlie!

JACK: Whoa.

Charlie!

I've been looking
all over for you.

CHARLIE: Why?
Is something wrong?

Oh, no, honey.

I just thought maybe we
could take a ride together.

Mother-daughter
talk or can I tag along?

Sure. Come along.

Charlie here has been telling
me about this boy in school.

JENNA: What boy in school?

The one who ignores me.

Oh, you mean the
one who likes you.

Oh, brother. That's
just what Jack said.

[JACK LAUGHS]

- Come on, let's
race. JACK: Hyah!

- Hyah! Hyah! JENNA: Whoo!

PAM: I'm sorry I didn't
come in to work today.

I planned to, but somehow
the day just got away from me.

It's no problem.

J.R. came to see
me this morning.

Well, that must
have made your day.

Cliff.

I wonder how high he will go to
get Christopher's 30 percent, huh?

Well, I hope you told him what he
could do with his little pipe dream.

I didn't tell him anything.

CLIFF: Good, good.

Now we can talk about
some real numbers.

These real numbers wouldn't have anything
to do with Jeremy Wendell, would they?

Hey, what if they do?

Good evening, sir. Are
you ready to order yet?

- No, no. Later. Later.
WAITER: Yes, sir.

Anybody you sell to is gonna
be better than that snake J.R.

Cliff, maybe Pam doesn't
wanna talk about this right now.

She has to talk about
it sooner or later.

Would you stop talking as
though I'm not sitting right here?

Cliff, did you make some
kind of a deal with Wendell?

Pam, I only care
about your welfare.

I'm your brother, I love
you. You have to believe that.

Now, selling to Wendell is
gonna net you the highest profit...

and it's gonna get you out
of Ewing Oil once and for all.

Has it occurred to
you for one moment...

that the reason I'm still involved
with Ewing Oil is because of Bobby?

Because he left his share to
his son, because Bobby is dead?

It's only because
I care about you.

You care, J.R. cares,
everybody cares.

Nobody cares!

And I've had it up to here!

Sly, is Harv Smithfield
is here yet...?

What are you standing out there
for? Would you come on in here?

I got here as soon as I could,
J.R. What's the problem?

Well, it's not gonna be a problem
if you give me the right answer.

What I wanna know is...

is it legal for a Ewing to
sell a piece of Ewing Oil...

to someone who is not
a member of the family?

Why wouldn't it be?

Well, I seem to
remember in Daddy's will...

it stipulated that the company
must remain in Ewing hands.

Now, am I right?

Nope, I'm afraid not.

Jock's will merely expresses the
wish that the company remain Ewing.

Well, don't my daddy's
wishes mean anything?

Well, of course, but since it's merely
a request and not a stipulation...

selling outside the family
would be perfectly legal.

Are you sure about this?

J.R., I drew up the will.

What's going on here, anyway? Is
someone trying to buy in to Ewing Oil?

Somebody's trying
to buy out Ewing Oil.

Jeremy Wendell.

He's already talked to
Mama, Pam, even Gary.

Jeremy Wendell.

Westar's a rich company.

You might have a big
fight on your hands, J.R.

Really? Well, tell me
something I don't know.

I certainly will. No problem.

Bye-bye.

- Can I help you, sir?
- Yes.

I'd like to see
Mrs. Ewing, please.

Mm.

Oh, I'm sorry, sir. Mrs.
Ewing isn't allowed visitors.

Well, I won't stay long.

I'm sorry, sir, but
that won't be possible.

Look, could I just
look in on her?

Are you a relative, sir?

[PHONE RINGS]

Hello, West Wing,
Nurses' Station.

[CLEARS THROAT]

NURSE: Oh, yes, doctor.
Let me just write that down.

Mm-hm.

J.R.: To the
Ewings, all of them.

Well, thanks, J.R.
Means a lot to me.

You know, I'm kind of surprised
you haven't been down to the office...

and just take a look and
see how we run things.

Ha, ha. Well, I didn't know my
10 percent entitled me to a tour.

Why, hell, yes. I
mean, you're a partner.

Partner's a partner and a Ewing
is a Ewing. You're both, Jack.

Yeah.

That's important for you to remember,
Jack, because no matter what happens...

no matter who might come
in and try to divide us...

we stick together.

That's what this
family's all about.

Well, I don't mean
to get carried away...

but I just wanna impress upon you
how much the family means to me.

Well, I understand.

It means a lot to me too.

- Does it?
- Yeah, it does.

Well, I'm glad to hear that,
really am. Say, how's your sister?

Oh, Jamie? Yeah, Jamie's great.

She's fine. She's
getting along real well.

Good, good, good.

You know, all this
family talk, uh...

Jack, I want you to assure me that
if someone from outside the family...

tries to buy your share of Ewing
Oil, now, you'll turn them down flat.

Of course I would. Why,
is, uh, something going on?

Oh, no, certainly not.

But this sort of thing
comes up from time to time...

in a big family-held
company like ours.

Well, you can count on me, J.R.

I know I can.

Say, Fred, buy my
partner a drink, will you?

I'll be back in a
couple of minutes.

You bet.

Money, man. Gotta
have the money.

I know who the Ewings are.
You can do better than this.

- How much?
- Double it.

You wanna see her or what?

Sue Ellen?

Dusty.

Oh, Dusty.

Oh, I knew you'd come.

Oh, I waited for you to
come and get me out of here.

I can be dressed
in just a minute.

I can't get you out of here.

I just came because I had to see
you, to make sure that you're all right.

But I'm not all right.

I've got to get out of here
and you've got to help me.

[DOOR OPENS]

Let's move it. Come on.

I want to help you. I'll do
anything to help you, but...

And my clothes. Just
help me find my clothes.

And we can go someplace
far, far away from here.

They'll take good care
of you here if you let them.

Sue Ellen, you're sick.
I can't make you well.

I'm fine.

I will be fine just as
soon as I get out of here.

Where are my clothes?

Sue Ellen, listen to me.
You have to stay here.

You have to get well and when
you're well, then we'll go far away.

Far away from everyone.

Don't leave me. Don't leave me.

I love you.

I'll be waiting for you.

Now, you've got to promise
me you'll let them help you.

Hey. I'm not kidding, man.

You've got to get
well for both of us.

DONNA: So, what did
you tell Jeremy Wendell?

Well, I told him
I'd think about it.

See what the others think,
see what Miss Ellie thinks.

Well, I have to tell you what...

I can't imagine Miss Ellie even considering
an offer like that for a minute.

I don't know what
to think about it.

But right now
I've got a hot date.

Oh, really?

With the prettiest little
foal you ever did see.

- Bye.
- Bye.

[KNOCKING ON DOOR]

Jenna. Hi.

JENNA: Hi.
- Come on in.

I got carried away this morning, made
a whole batch of blueberry muffins...

and thought you might like some.

Oh.

Well, they just happen
to be Ray's favorites.

- Thank you very much, Jenna.
- Sure.

I know you're eating
for two people...

but would you mind leaving a few
of those for me for later on, please?

- Maybe.
- Bye.

DONNA: Bye.

[DOOR CLOSES]

You two look happy this morning.

Yeah, so far, so good.
How about a cup of coffee?

Um, no, I'd better get back.

Look, I have an appointment
later on with the doctor.

Why don't you go with me and,
uh, we could have a bite of lunch?

Sure. We'll make a day of it.

Maybe go shopping and take a
look at some maternity clothes?

Yeah, yeah.

Uh, see some strollers, some, uh, cribs
and some of those little old stuffed toys.

I think we should forget lunch and
head straight for the baby department.

Yeah.

Christopher, can you help me
with this? Can you help Mommy?

Yes.

[DOG BARKING]

What?

Oh, nothing, sweetheart.

Just for a minute, I thought
someone was watching us.

Who wouldn't want to watch a
beautiful boy like you, though, hm?

What would you like
for dinner tonight?

Can I have anything?

Anything?

You can have anything you want.

Hey.

Hey, you.

Are you following
me? Did J.R. send you?

- Excuse me?
- I saw you watching me.

What do you want?

I don't want anything. I'm just
waiting for my wife and daughter.

See, I was just looking around
because I didn't wanna miss them.

I'm really sorry if I
made you nervous.

No, I'm sorry.

She's very high-strung.

I'd say she's about
at the end of her rope.

[ENGINE STARTS]

Bobby.

Oh, Bobby.

[SIGHS]

This seems to be the only
place where I can find peace.

It's the only place where I can
get away from everyone's questions.

Here I'm just left alone
with my own questions.

You may not agree with me...

but I hope you'll understand.

If this was the
best of all worlds...

I wouldn't think of
selling Ewing Oil.

But it's not the
best of all worlds...

or the best of all times.

With you gone and
Sue Ellen where she is...

the family's in trouble.

I want to do what's
right, Bobby...

for your little Christopher
and for little John Ross.

I don't want them to
inherit unhappiness.

I couldn't bear that.

Your daddy always said...

that the only thing that really
means anything is family.

You knew that.

Those were the last words
that you tried to say to us...

and now I have to do my
part to keep us together.

[HORN HONKS]

Hey, Ray.

Well, looks like you're
doing a pretty good job.

RAY: Mm-hm.

That what you come out
here for, inspect the fence?

Why does everybody question
me about my motives? I'll tell you...

Ah, you know me
better than that.

I wanna talk to you
about something serious.

Then spit it out.

Did Jeremy Wendell come to you,
wanting to buy your share of Ewing Oil?

What if he did?

Well, that answers my first
question. Now for the second.

Don't bother asking.

I haven't decided yet.

I don't mind telling you, J.R.,
I'm strongly considering it.

Damn it, Ray, are you gonna
stand there and tell me...

you'd sell your part of the
company to an outsider?

I really don't wanna stand
here and tell you anything, J.R.

Ray, Ewing Oil was
built by our daddy.

He meant for it to
stay in the family.

There's nothing in this whole world
that would make me sell my piece.

And Jack feels the same way.
He's not gonna sell his part.

- Jack?
- Yeah.

Saw him yesterday. He feels
the same way I do about it.

If you just hold on
to your 10 percent...

that means that we have
50 percent right there.

Now, you just hold on. Who
is this we you're talking about?

Us, us Ewings.

Oh, I can remember
not so long ago...

you as much as told
me that I wasn't a Ewing.

In fact, I could quote you.

You said, "I had one
brother. Now he's dead."

Well, I was under
a lot of pressure.

I didn't mean what I
was saying, you know...

When people are under pressure,
that's when they do say what they mean.

Oh, Ray.

Just hold on, J.R.

We both know you don't
want me to sell to Wendell...

and we both know all
the reasons why not.

At the moment, I'm
inclined to wait and see

what Miss Ellie has
to say on the subject.

She's the only Ewing
whose opinion I care about.

I'll let Wendell know what
I decide after I talk to her.

I think you'll find that she doesn't
feel any differently than I do about this.

I'll wait and find
that out for myself.

Right now, I've got work to do.

Yeah.

So do I.

[HAMMER BANGING]

Hi, sweetie.

Hi.

Hi, Mom. Where were you?

I was out with Donna.

She saw her obstetrician
and then we went shopping.

And this is for you.

It's perfect. Thanks.

Mm, you're welcome.

Did you get
anything for yourself?

No, it was too much
fun watching Donna.

She nearly bought out
the whole baby department.

Was she buying pink or blue?

Um...

Mostly yellow.

But she went to the doctor's today
and had a test. It's called amniocentesis.

In a few weeks when
the results come back...

they'll be able to tell
her if it's a boy or girl.

Well, what does Donna want?

She doesn't really care.

In fact, she doesn't even want
to know what the results are.

Then what did she
have the test for?

Well, it also tells if
the baby's healthy.

Most women Donna's age
have it, especially if it's a first.

She must be really excited.

She really is.

Mm, what is that,
Spanish homework?

Uh-huh.

Adiós.

She had a difficult night...

but I believe she's been
resting comfortably today.

Yes, Mrs. Farlow,
I'll tell her you called.

What do you want?

Take it easy, Mrs. Ewing.

It's not what I want...

it's what I think you want.

What do you mean?

I just bet you could use
some of this right now.

Vodka. Oh, I don't
know if it's your brand...

but that doesn't
always matter, does it?

I'm just wondering what
this might be worth to you.

A hundred dollars?
Two hundred dollars?

Well, you're a real rich
lady. There's just no telling.

And there's a lot more
where this came from.

I think we can make
a deal, don't you?

I can't wait all day.
What's your answer?

Doctor. I'll get the doctor.

You're not gonna
turn me in, are you?

Now wait a minute, lady.

Get out.

You just get out.

I can do it. I can do it.

I know I can do it.

I just need help.

Help me. Help me.

I hear, ha, ha, that you've been
looking at some pretty fancy cars lately.

Ha, ha. Yeah, I guess, uh, Jamie's afraid
that money's burned a hole in my pocket.

CLIFF: What the hell,
you got two pockets.

You know, I'll tell you, with
the traffic the way it is in Dallas...

you'd never get a chance
to blow that baby out.

Of course, you could open it up
on a straightaway out at Southfork.

Jamie tells me you've been
spending a little bit of time out there.

Yeah, just, uh, getting to know
the family, the rest of the Ewings.

Don't let them fool
you, especially J.R.

Those Ewings aren't
family. Jamie is.

You know...

my sister, Pam, controls
30 percent of Ewing Oil.

And just between you and
me, I think there are gonna be...

some management changes
over there before long.

Now, with your 10 percent
and our 30 percent...

that would put us
in the driver's seat.

[CHUCKLES]

Uh, what kind of
management change?

There will be a position in it for
you, if you hang in with Jamie and me.

Hey, Cliff. Come on.

I mean, if it's a
question of loyalty...

my sister comes first before anybody
else who has the same last name.

Even though her last
name is Barnes now.

Okay. Then I can count on you?

Ah, you got it. You got it.

And as far as any spot for me
in that, uh, new management...

I'd just consider it
icing on the cake.

[CHUCKLES]

I think you're about to
have your cake and eat it too.

Sounds real good to me.

[PHONE RINGING]

I'll get it, Angela.

Hello?

Oh.

No, it's all right,
Norman. What is it?

Yes, I understand that. And I
know that Katherine's death...

makes me responsible for
those investment decisions, but...

Well, I don't have
an answer yet.

Because you're going to
have to give me more time.

I have other things on my
mind and I haven't decided yet.

I don't care if you're the
chairman of Wentworth Industries.

I wouldn't care if you were the
president of the United States.

In fact, I don't care!

Oh, I have to get out of here.

[MOUTHS] Mark.
