I'm stealing the silver. 33 00:03:56,484 --> 00:03:58,168 I'd believe it. 34 00:03:58,526 --> 00:04:00,688 You better get out of here before I call somebody. 35 00:04:01,403 --> 00:04:04,612 What.

How come you're not in that wedding number? 45 00:04:38,541 --> 00:04:41,943 I was at the first J.R. and Sue Ellen wedding. Once was enough. 46 00:04:43,376 --> 00:04:45,299 The family rebel. Huh? 47 00:04:46,127 --> 00:04:47,333 Like you? 48 00:04:48,295 --> 00:04:49,660 Yeah. 49 00:04:50,671 --> 00:04:54,392 Maybe you ought to do something about that since we got so much in common. 50 00:04:55,714 --> 00:04:57,204 We have nothing in common. 51 00:04:57,923 --> 00:04:59,527 Maybe you're right, Miss Ewing. 52 00:05:00,924 --> 00:05:05,327 Then it must be easy to be a rebel when you're rich. 53 00:05:05,676 --> 00:05:09,442 I tell you what. I'll call you when I make my first million. 54 00:05:10,470 --> 00:05:11,881 I won't hold my breath. 55 00:05:15,721 --> 00:05:17,211 See you. 56 00:05:25,017 --> 00:05:29,181 Now. This will be the center aisle along here when the chairs are put up. 57 00:05:29,518 --> 00:05:33,728 And I'll be standing right over here. 58 00:05:34,061 --> 00:05:36,985 Of course. I realize that you all know this routine... 59 00:05:37,271 --> 00:05:39,672 having gone through it once before. 60 00:05:39,939 --> 00:05:43,625 So we'll just call this a little refresher course, shall we? 61 00:05:43,940 --> 00:05:49,106 Yes. Well. Now. The bridegroom and the best man will stand right over here. 62 00:05:50,109 --> 00:05:55,275 Now. The first one down the aisle is Miss Ellie escorted by Ray. 63 00:05:55,653 --> 00:06:00,056 And they'll sit right on the front row. Right here. 64 00:06:00,655 --> 00:06:04,137 And then next down the aisle is the matron of honor. 65 00:06:04,448 --> 00:06:07,497 That's right. And she'll stand right over here... 66 00:06:07,782 --> 00:06:10,183 opposite the best man. 67 00:06:10,742 --> 00:06:16,704 And lastly. The bride enters with Mr. Farlow. 68 00:06:17,119 --> 00:06:20,328 And then right about here... 69 00:06:20,620 --> 00:06:23,988 you will hand Sue Ellen over to J.R... 70 00:06:24,288 --> 00:06:27,656 and then step back. Right. 71 00:06:27,956 --> 00:06:32,041 And then. After the "I pronounce yous� et cetera. Et cetera..." 72 00:06:32,375 --> 00:06:37,381 the married couple turn and walk back up the aisle together... 73 00:06:37,793 --> 00:06:42,117 and that's all there is to it. Now. Are there any questions? 74 00:06:42,462 --> 00:06:44,749 No. There'll be no... Of course not. 75 00:06:45,004 --> 00:06:47,052 Then I will see you all at the wedding. 76 00:06:47,297 --> 00:06:51,541 And I must say. I'm looking forward to it with great joy... 77 00:06:51,882 --> 00:06:54,203 as I know you all are. 78 00:06:54,466 --> 00:06:57,470 Pam. I'm going into town for a fitting. Do you wanna come? 79 00:06:57,759 --> 00:06:59,841 I thought you're gonna keep your dress a secret. 80 00:07:00,093 --> 00:07:03,814 Well. I was. But I'd like your opinion on the final detailing. Okay? 81 00:07:04,136 --> 00:07:05,342 - I'd love to come. - Okay. 82 00:07:05,553 --> 00:07:07,601 Enough of this playtime.

I got a little business I'm gonna do, honey. 102 00:08:27,917 --> 00:08:29,123 Okay. 103 00:08:29,584 --> 00:08:32,235 All in favor of holding the business meeting in the pool... 104 00:08:32,502 --> 00:08:34,152 say aye. Aye. 105 00:08:34,378 --> 00:08:36,779 - Motion's carried. - Would you mind? 106 00:08:37,045 --> 00:08:39,889 Lupe will show you where the men's swim trunks are. 107 00:08:40,171 --> 00:08:42,651 Unless. Of course. You prefer skinny-dipping... 108 00:08:42,922 --> 00:08:45,402 which is perfectly acceptable in this house. 109 00:08:46,340 --> 00:08:48,342 What's the matter with you today. Holly? 110 00:08:48,591 --> 00:08:51,561 You're looking at a desolate woman. 111 00:08:52,551 --> 00:08:54,599 I've broken up with Jordan. 112 00:08:55,719 --> 00:08:57,642 I need consoling. 113 00:08:58,511 --> 00:09:01,401 You mind putting this on? I wanna try to accomplish something. 114 00:09:01,679 --> 00:09:03,568 Am I distracting you? 115 00:09:05,097 --> 00:09:06,303 Would you. Please? 116 00:09:08,057 --> 00:09:09,502 All right. 117 00:09:09,724 --> 00:09:12,728 Business it is. What's up? 118 00:09:13,517 --> 00:09:17,158 Well. I'm recommending these assets be sold off. Here's your copy. 119 00:09:20,686 --> 00:09:22,290 Let's see now... 120 00:09:23,020 --> 00:09:25,591 My father felt this division was really profitable. 121 00:09:26,105 --> 00:09:27,675 Now. Holly. Times have changed. 122 00:09:27,897 --> 00:09:30,707 That's one reason Harwood Oil isn't doing as well as it should. 123 00:09:30,982 --> 00:09:33,110 If you'd look at paragraph four there. 124 00:09:33,357 --> 00:09:35,758 You're diluting the most efficient use of your capital. 125 00:09:36,025 --> 00:09:37,754 And with this infusion of new funds... 126 00:09:37,984 --> 00:09:40,908 I can put the money to better use for you. I really can. 127 00:09:41,694 --> 00:09:43,184 Do you have a buyer in mind? 128 00:09:44,403 --> 00:09:47,134 I wouldn't be making a recommendation like this unless I did. 129 00:09:47,404 --> 00:09:49,133 Petra State. That's the buyer. 130 00:09:49,488 --> 00:09:52,571 But if it's not profitable for Harwood. Why would it be profitable-J. 131 00:09:52,865 --> 00:09:54,310 It will be for Petra State. 132 00:09:54,532 --> 00:09:57,217 It's a different operation. That's all. 133 00:09:57,783 --> 00:10:00,946 Well. I gotta get going. 134 00:10:03,702 --> 00:10:05,227 Wait a minute. 135 00:10:05,828 --> 00:10:06,989 Who is Petro State? 136 00:10:07,203 --> 00:10:08,807 The question you should ask is: 137 00:10:09,037 --> 00:10:12,280 "Can they pay in the coin of the realm and promptly?� 138 00:10:12,580 --> 00:10:14,662 The answer is, "Yes. They sure can.�" 139 00:10:14,998 --> 00:10:16,363 Trust me. 140 00:10:18,582 --> 00:10:20,186 J. FL. 141 00:10:22,375 --> 00:10:25,743 Are you sure you wouldn't like a little swim? 142 00:10:41,424 --> 00:10:43,108 Did you mind the rehearsal? 143 00:10:43,383 --> 00:10:45,306 Not at all. Why? 144 00:10:45,551 --> 00:10:48,634 I was afraid that it might upset you. Giving Sue Ellen away. 145 00:10:50,552 --> 00:10:51,713 What do you mean? 146 00:10:52,511 --> 00:10:55,913 Well. I know that she and your son were very much in love. 147 00:10:59,139 --> 00:11:01,790 Well. Things change. 148 00:11:03,099 --> 00:11:05,784 - Is Dusty's marriage going well? - Very well. 149 00:11:06,267 --> 00:11:09,430 Linda's a lovely girl. They're happy together. 150 00:11:09,935 --> 00:11:11,983 Good. I'm glad. 151 00:11:12,227 --> 00:11:14,628 My only regret... 152 00:11:16,103 --> 00:11:18,674 is that Dusty's not in the oil business like your boys. 153 00:11:18,938 --> 00:11:21,464 I really wanted him to come in the business with me... 154 00:11:21,731 --> 00:11:26,020 but now that he's married. I guess he's just a cowboy at heart. 155 00:11:26,774 --> 00:11:29,254 Well. That happens. Doesn't it? 156 00:11:30,400 --> 00:11:32,607 Jock was a lucky man. 157 00:11:33,401 --> 00:11:36,291 At least two of his sons carrying on his work. 158 00:11:37,153 --> 00:11:42,034 And while he lived, he had a lovely and devoted wife by his side. 159 00:11:42,738 --> 00:11:44,024 Well... 160 00:11:44,739 --> 00:11:47,140 It must be nice to have family around. 161 00:11:47,657 --> 00:11:51,423 Sons. Daughter-in-laws. Grandchildren. 162 00:11:53,617 --> 00:11:55,824 I know the boys are in competition now... 163 00:11:56,410 --> 00:12:01,337 but still, I think I envy you. Miss Ellie. 164 00:12:01,703 --> 00:12:06,470 I wish I'd had the opportunity to have a close family. 165 00:12:11,415 --> 00:12:13,497 I'm sorry. J.R. hasn't arrived yet. 166 00:12:13,750 --> 00:12:15,400 Yes. Sir. I'll give him the message. 167 00:12:15,625 --> 00:12:18,071 - Good morning. Bobby. - Morning. Kendal. 168 00:12:19,335 --> 00:12:23,056 Morning. Bobby. Here are your messages. And Jordan Lee is in your office. 169 00:12:23,378 --> 00:12:24,618 Jordan Lee's in there? 170 00:12:24,837 --> 00:12:26,521 I didn't think you'd want him to wait here. 171 00:12:26,754 --> 00:12:29,678 Oh. No. No. You did the right thing. I wanna see him. Thank you. 172 00:12:33,423 --> 00:12:36,666 - Well. Jordan. Good to see you. - Don't bet on it. 173 00:12:38,717 --> 00:12:40,640 Something's eating you. What's the matter? 174 00:12:40,885 --> 00:12:44,173 Your brother. He's pumping oil out of the ground like there's no tomorrow. 175 00:12:44,469 --> 00:12:47,200 Hasn't he ever heard of conserving reserves? 176 00:12:47,470 --> 00:12:49,040 Why don't you talk to him about it? 177 00:12:49,263 --> 00:12:51,743 He's ducking everybody. He's not taking his phone calls. 178 00:12:52,014 --> 00:12:55,575 We went through and filed a complaint with the Office of Land Management. 179 00:12:55,890 --> 00:12:57,540 Well. That's wasted energy. 180 00:12:57,766 --> 00:13:00,007 Everybody knows it was Walt Driscoll of the OLM... 181 00:13:00,267 --> 00:13:03,908 that gave him that variance to pump at capacity. All nice and legal. 182 00:13:04,226 --> 00:13:07,628 Well. That's one reason I'm here. Walt Driscoll's done a disappearing act. 183 00:13:07,936 --> 00:13:11,463 We figure it's because he was bought and paid for by Ewing Oil. 184 00:13:12,188 --> 00:13:13,713 Now. You wait just a minute. 185 00:13:15,939 --> 00:13:19,022 Not Ewing Oil and I don't know if Driscoll was bought and paid for... 186 00:13:19,315 --> 00:13:22,444 or blackmailed, but my half of Ewing Oil had nothing to do with it. 187 00:13:22,733 --> 00:13:25,498 Bobby. J.R. is up to something and we want him stopped now. 188 00:13:26,026 --> 00:13:27,790 Well. You're talking to the wrong man. 189 00:13:28,068 --> 00:13:31,038 J.R. sticks to his half of the business and I stick to mine. 190 00:13:32,487 --> 00:13:34,057 Now. You're missing the point. 191 00:13:34,404 --> 00:13:36,168 As far as the oil community is concerned... 192 00:13:36,405 --> 00:13:38,214 they don't give a damn whose half is what. 193 00:13:38,447 --> 00:13:40,575 J.R.'s activities are tainting Ewing Oil. 194 00:13:40,823 --> 00:13:42,029 The company.

I'm gonna be working behind the scenes. 332 00:21:48,710 --> 00:21:51,031 Besides. It's worthwhile. 333 00:21:51,836 --> 00:21:55,682 I suppose anything that will stop J.R. is worthwhile. 334 00:22:02,299 --> 00:22:05,940 - Well. Everybody scatter for the day? - Yes. 335 00:22:06,258 --> 00:22:09,421 Usually.

I'm very sorry you had to witness that squabble last night. 339 00:22:20,013 --> 00:22:22,095 I'm surprised it hasn't happened more often. 340 00:22:22,348 --> 00:22:27,070 Those boys are fighting for a pretty big goal. Control of Ewing Oil. 341 00:22:27,724 --> 00:22:32,412 Well. I'm afraid this time there's more at stake than Ewing Oil. 342 00:22:34,310 --> 00:22:35,755 Meaning? 343 00:22:35,978 --> 00:22:38,060 I mean the family itself. 344 00:22:38,603 --> 00:22:40,731 Oh. We've had problems before. Big problems. 345 00:22:40,979 --> 00:22:44,904 But mostly. The pressure has been from the outside. 346 00:22:45,689 --> 00:22:48,056 This time it's between the boys. 347 00:22:48,774 --> 00:22:50,902 And you're caught in the middle. 348 00:22:54,651 --> 00:22:58,656 You still think being surrounded by family is so wonderful? 349 00:23:06,322 --> 00:23:07,812 Yeah? 350 00:23:08,740 --> 00:23:11,550 - Hi. - Lucy. 351 00:23:12,116 --> 00:23:14,278 Your secretary said it was all right if I came in. 352 00:23:14,533 --> 00:23:16,615 Sure.

It's my job to know when people look great. And you look terrific. 357 00:23:28,872 --> 00:23:30,283 Would you like an assignment? 358 00:23:31,039 --> 00:23:34,202 Yes. But a certain kind. 359 00:23:34,499 --> 00:23:37,070 - Blair. I need a favor. - Okay. 360 00:23:37,333 --> 00:23:38,983 Is anything shooting out of town? 361 00:23:39,459 --> 00:23:43,908 Well. The Johnson account in Galveston. But you already turned them down. 362 00:23:44,253 --> 00:23:46,255 Could I change my mind? 363 00:23:46,962 --> 00:23:49,886 I'd take just about anything to get out of Dallas for a few days. 364 00:23:50,755 --> 00:23:53,998 I can't imagine there's a bill collector after anyone named Ewing. 365 00:23:55,423 --> 00:24:00,111 No. There's just this family event going on that I'd rather not attend. 366 00:24:00,467 --> 00:24:02,913 But I need a legitimate excuse not to be there. 367 00:24:05,177 --> 00:24:08,386 - What's so funny? - It's just. After you turned them down... 368 00:24:08,678 --> 00:24:12,478 I sent them over about six... No. Seven other models. 369 00:24:12,805 --> 00:24:14,455 None of them would do. 370 00:24:15,681 --> 00:24:17,285 Let me give Bill Johnson a call. 371 00:24:17,515 --> 00:24:20,724 I think it might still be a lock.

It's no secret any longer... 379 00:24:50,027 --> 00:24:54,316 that J.R. is pumping oil out of his wells at full capacity. 380 00:24:54,778 --> 00:24:58,305 The problems is this company is not gonna be in two halves forever. 381 00:24:58,613 --> 00:25:00,456 And when it is a reunited Ewing Oil... 382 00:25:00,697 --> 00:25:03,985 I need to know what the effects of his all-out pumping are gonna be. 383 00:25:04,282 --> 00:25:09,925 I need long-range. Short-term effects. Tax-wise. Geologically. Everything. 384 00:25:10,659 --> 00:25:14,709 And I need your reports by tomorrow. That's the deadline. 385 00:25:15,036 --> 00:25:18,563 It has first priority. We meet here again tomorrow night. 386 00:25:19,204 --> 00:25:20,729 Go to it. 387 00:25:27,874 --> 00:25:30,605 - Punk. - Oh. Hi. J.R. Sit down. 388 00:25:30,875 --> 00:25:32,639 - Yes. Sir. Hi. - How you doing? 389 00:25:33,167 --> 00:25:36,057 Hope I didn't spoil your afternoon by asking for this meeting. 390 00:25:36,335 --> 00:25:38,497 No. Sir. No. Sir. Sue Ellen's coming in. 391 00:25:38,753 --> 00:25:41,154 We're gonna have a little early dinner out. 392 00:25:41,420 --> 00:25:44,310 - Can I bring you a cocktail. Mr. Ewing? - The usual. Please. 393 00:25:44,838 --> 00:25:46,488 Well. Sir. What can I do for you? 394 00:25:46,714 --> 00:25:49,001 I'll get right to the point, J.R. 395 00:25:49,257 --> 00:25:52,898 I'm real concerned about the way you're operating your half of the business. 396 00:25:54,759 --> 00:25:58,127 The same old questions. How did I get that variance? 397 00:25:58,427 --> 00:26:01,590 Why am I pumping so much? And what am I gonna do with all that oil? 398 00:26:01,886 --> 00:26:03,456 Tell you. It gets tiresome. 399 00:26:03,929 --> 00:26:06,614 I don't care about the questions. I want some answers. 400 00:26:08,055 --> 00:26:10,979 Well. I'm gonna have to tell you what I tell everybody else: 401 00:26:11,265 --> 00:26:14,075 In due time. You will know all. In due time. 402 00:26:14,474 --> 00:26:17,364 What you tell everybody else is not good enough for me. 403 00:26:17,642 --> 00:26:21,931 And I'm gonna remind you again that I'm the administrator of your daddy's will. 404 00:26:22,269 --> 00:26:23,839 I know that. Punk. 405 00:26:24,061 --> 00:26:27,304 Now. The way I see it. Your only responsibility... 406 00:26:27,604 --> 00:26:30,130 is to make a judgment at the end of the year... 407 00:26:30,397 --> 00:26:32,525 who's done better. Bobby or me. 408 00:26:32,773 --> 00:26:35,777 And the winner gets Ewing Oil. All of it. 409 00:26:36,274 --> 00:26:38,083 Or none of it. 410 00:26:38,400 --> 00:26:41,244 My concern is there may not be a Ewing Oil company left... 411 00:26:41,526 --> 00:26:43,210 when you boys get through with it. 412 00:26:44,360 --> 00:26:47,443 Punk. I got a plan. You know I don't shoot from the hip. 413 00:26:47,736 --> 00:26:51,536 I'm gonna to prove to you that I can take my half of the Ewing assets... 414 00:26:51,863 --> 00:26:55,993 and build a profit picture in one year that Bobby can't match in 10. 415 00:26:56,323 --> 00:26:59,008 Now. That's my game plan. And nobody's gonna stop me. 416 00:27:00,866 --> 00:27:03,949 Yeah. I'll stop you. If I have to. 417 00:27:04,242 --> 00:27:05,926 I know this isn't what your daddy intended. 418 00:27:06,160 --> 00:27:08,811 I was there when he wrote the codicil. 419 00:27:09,161 --> 00:27:11,641 Now. You be a good boy and start playing by the rules... 420 00:27:11,912 --> 00:27:14,040 or I'm gonna blow the whistle on you. 421 00:27:15,121 --> 00:27:17,123 And don't you forget it. 422 00:27:25,375 --> 00:27:26,979 Can I get you anything else. J.R.? 423 00:27:28,210 --> 00:27:30,861 What? Oh. No. No. Thank you. 424 00:27:31,127 --> 00:27:32,572 This is for you. 425 00:27:32,920 --> 00:27:34,331 Thank you. 426 00:27:55,219 --> 00:27:58,189 You know. Clayton. You really know how to create a lovely evening. 427 00:27:58,471 --> 00:28:00,951 Well. That certainly is the intention. 428 00:28:01,222 --> 00:28:04,351 But I must tell you. There's a string attached to it. 429 00:28:04,640 --> 00:28:06,130 What's that? 430 00:28:06,349 --> 00:28:08,238 Just for this evening... 431 00:28:08,933 --> 00:28:12,460 put everything out of your mind. The boys. Southfork, everything. 432 00:28:13,059 --> 00:28:16,108 Tonight. There are no problems. All right? 433 00:28:16,394 --> 00:28:17,884 All right. 434 00:28:19,270 --> 00:28:21,876 To a gracious and lovely lady. 435 00:28:22,730 --> 00:28:25,574 To the most considerate of men. 436 00:28:31,608 --> 00:28:35,772 You know. You and Jock would have gotten on very well. 437 00:28:38,319 --> 00:28:39,730 Well. I like to think so. 438 00:28:40,819 --> 00:28:43,470 You have so many of the same qualities. 439 00:28:43,737 --> 00:28:46,422 The same kindness, the same strength. 440 00:28:46,780 --> 00:28:50,944 You really remind me of him very much. 441 00:28:55,492 --> 00:28:57,062 Miss Ellie... 442 00:28:57,534 --> 00:29:00,185 I can't think of a nicer compliment. 443 00:29:05,995 --> 00:29:10,444 Would you mind if we skipped coffee? I think I'd like to go home now. 444 00:29:10,789 --> 00:29:12,996 No. That's all right. I don't mind. Really. 445 00:29:14,624 --> 00:29:18,674 - Are you feeling all right? - Yes. I'd just like to go home. 446 00:29:41,884 --> 00:29:45,093 - You want another drink? - No. Thanks. 447 00:29:45,385 --> 00:29:47,831 Donna and Ray look pretty good out there. Don't they? 448 00:29:49,178 --> 00:29:50,589 Yeah. 449 00:29:52,846 --> 00:29:54,291 All right. What's the matter? 450 00:29:54,513 --> 00:29:56,436 I thought we were out to have a good time. 451 00:29:56,681 --> 00:29:58,683 Remember, leave Ewing Oil behind? 452 00:29:59,265 --> 00:30:00,630 Well. Look what happened. 453 00:30:00,849 --> 00:30:03,011 We find out that Donna's behind the big push... 454 00:30:03,266 --> 00:30:05,792 for the new Energy Commission through the senate. 455 00:30:06,351 --> 00:30:07,921 What's wrong with that? 456 00:30:08,143 --> 00:30:11,829 It's another part of the family right in the middle of the fight for Ewing Oil. 457 00:30:12,228 --> 00:30:14,390 Honey. That commission is long overdue. 458 00:30:14,646 --> 00:30:18,173 And the whole thing came about because J.R. rigged the OLM. 459 00:30:19,022 --> 00:30:21,912 Bobby. They're gonna be more problems no matter what the reasons. 460 00:30:23,107 --> 00:30:24,632 Look. It hasn't cleared the senate. 461 00:30:24,858 --> 00:30:28,465 And we're not gonna know anything till Dave gets here. So cheer up. 462 00:30:30,776 --> 00:30:33,461 - That dancing is hard work. - Take a break. Take a break. 463 00:30:33,736 --> 00:30:36,421 - Oh. Can we have another round. Please? - Yes. Sir. 464 00:30:36,695 --> 00:30:38,220 - Thank you. - Do you wanna dance? 465 00:30:38,446 --> 00:30:42,815 Well. I have to work up to it slowly. Slowly. Slowly. 466 00:30:43,156 --> 00:30:44,396 - Hi. Everyone. - Hello. 467 00:30:44,615 --> 00:30:45,776 - Hey. - How you doing? 468 00:30:45,990 --> 00:30:47,754 Donna. We've got some problems. 469 00:30:48,074 --> 00:30:50,042 You mean. They didn't approve the commission? 470 00:30:50,284 --> 00:30:54,653 The vote was split right down the middle. With about five senators undecided. 471 00:30:55,119 --> 00:30:56,803 Do you think you can get their votes? 472 00:30:57,161 --> 00:30:59,482 One way. We have to announce up front... 473 00:30:59,745 --> 00:31:02,271 that someone with a statewide reputation for integrity... 474 00:31:02,538 --> 00:31:04,427 will serve on the commission. 475 00:31:05,039 --> 00:31:07,770 Everyone agreed that you're the right person, Donna. 476 00:31:08,123 --> 00:31:13,084 Me? Well. I am flattered. But I think you need somebody... 477 00:31:13,459 --> 00:31:16,383 with a political track record. I've never held an office before. 478 00:31:16,668 --> 00:31:19,558 Believe me. Everyone agreed you're the one. 479 00:31:21,837 --> 00:31:25,364 Well. I guess you know that means that I'll be fighting J.R. 480 00:31:26,172 --> 00:31:29,335 - What's wrong with that? - Miss Ellie's what's wrong with that. 481 00:31:29,631 --> 00:31:33,397 If Donna's involved. It's gonna turn into a three-sided family fight. 482 00:31:34,633 --> 00:31:36,158 That's what worries me. 483 00:31:38,176 --> 00:31:40,656 Well. I know this could cause trouble for you. Donna. 484 00:31:41,844 --> 00:31:43,084 We can handle trouble. 485 00:31:44,012 --> 00:31:47,653 Look. There can't be any more trouble than J.R.'s already caused. 486 00:31:48,347 --> 00:31:51,556 I think you should accept. Donna. And your first order of business... 487 00:31:51,848 --> 00:31:54,738 should be to get rid of that variance J.R. got from the OLM. 488 00:31:55,391 --> 00:31:58,713 And while you are all discussing it. I'm gonna dance with my wife. 489 00:32:01,351 --> 00:32:03,718 Well. That's a different Bobby. 490 00:32:04,186 --> 00:32:05,426 But you know. He's right. 491 00:32:05,645 --> 00:32:09,331 If you think the commission is worthwhile. You have to serve on it. 492 00:32:10,521 --> 00:32:13,604 I don't know. I just don't know. 493 00:32:21,192 --> 00:32:24,002 Grandma. I'm gonna be leaving in about an hour. 494 00:32:24,360 --> 00:32:26,931 Leaving? For where? 495 00:32:27,194 --> 00:32:29,117 Galveston. For a modeling assignment. 496 00:32:29,362 --> 00:32:31,251 It'll take about three or four days. 497 00:32:32,238 --> 00:32:34,002 Yes. But the Wedding's tomorrow. 498 00:32:34,947 --> 00:32:37,598 To tell you the truth. I really don't wanna be here. 499 00:32:37,948 --> 00:32:41,270 - Well. Why? Because of your divorce? - Partly. 500 00:32:41,824 --> 00:32:45,795 And partly because I don't wanna be here when Sue Ellen messes up her life again. 501 00:32:46,118 --> 00:32:49,201 She started to become a decent person when she was away from J.R. 502 00:32:50,328 --> 00:32:54,538 Yes. Well. I remember you didn't like the old Sue Ellen very much. 503 00:32:55,038 --> 00:32:58,008 I have a feeling I'm not gonna like the new Sue Ellen much more. 504 00:32:58,289 --> 00:32:59,779 So I really don't wanna be here. 505 00:32:59,998 --> 00:33:02,080 - Yes. But Lucy. I... - Goodbye. Grandma. 506 00:33:02,332 --> 00:33:04,983 I'll call you from Galveston. Bye. 507 00:33:13,003 --> 00:33:15,324 Not a chance in hell of making that appointment. 508 00:33:15,587 --> 00:33:19,114 - It's just one of those things. You know. - I'm so proud of you. 509 00:33:19,588 --> 00:33:22,637 J.R.. do you realize that tomorrow is our wedding day? 510 00:33:22,923 --> 00:33:25,608 Yeah. I haven't been able to think of anything else, honey. 511 00:33:26,674 --> 00:33:29,598 Oh. Look. Sweet Mrs. Chambers. 512 00:33:29,884 --> 00:33:33,889 She made us some hot coffee. Left it before she went. 513 00:33:34,260 --> 00:33:35,705 There. 514 00:33:37,970 --> 00:33:40,211 You know. Everything would be just about perfect... 515 00:33:40,471 --> 00:33:42,792 if it weren't for all those tensions at Southfork. 516 00:33:43,055 --> 00:33:45,626 Well. It seems it can't be helped, honey. 517 00:33:47,307 --> 00:33:50,390 Do you suppose"? Just suppose... 518 00:33:50,683 --> 00:33:53,812 that you and John Ross could move in here after the wedding? 519 00:33:55,393 --> 00:33:57,839 You mean. Live here in the townhouse with you? 520 00:33:58,102 --> 00:33:59,433 Yes. 521 00:33:59,645 --> 00:34:01,966 Just until the battle for Ewing Oil is over. 522 00:34:04,021 --> 00:34:06,467 Darling. I can't leave Southfork. It's my home. 523 00:34:06,731 --> 00:34:08,654 And more important. It's John Ross' home. 524 00:34:08,898 --> 00:34:11,549 That's where he belongs and that's where he's gotta be. 525 00:34:13,441 --> 00:34:15,489 That's the difference between you and me. 526 00:34:15,734 --> 00:34:18,260 You seem to handle tension much better than I do. 527 00:34:18,527 --> 00:34:21,929 Well. I've gotta protect my inheritance and yours and John Ross'. 528 00:34:22,236 --> 00:34:25,922 If it's gonna be a fight. I'll do what I have to do. 529 00:34:26,321 --> 00:34:30,212 And you should too. Honey. Because you're in this with me. 530 00:34:33,991 --> 00:34:35,993 You're absolutely right. 531 00:34:37,367 --> 00:34:39,973 I've got to get used to that way of thinking. 532 00:34:40,910 --> 00:34:42,321 We are in this together. 533 00:34:43,286 --> 00:34:46,290 And I guess we both have to do what we have to do. 534 00:34:52,789 --> 00:34:55,315 Harry. Tax-wise. What's it look like? 535 00:34:55,582 --> 00:34:58,791 I have to tell you, Bobby. That pumping as heavily as J.R. is... 536 00:34:59,083 --> 00:35:01,689 is just not very sound management of tax benefits. 537 00:35:01,959 --> 00:35:05,441 And I see problems ahead, both in this fiscal year and in the long run. 538 00:35:05,752 --> 00:35:08,437 Does his all-out pumping affect the depletion allowance? 539 00:35:08,712 --> 00:35:11,875 Well. Sure. But we don't need that kind of a tax break this year. 540 00:35:12,171 --> 00:35:16,256 Wait till the price of oil goes up. We'll be looking for every tax break we can find. 541 00:35:18,048 --> 00:35:20,335 Bill. Geologically. How does it look? 542 00:35:21,133 --> 00:35:22,498 Not good. 543 00:35:22,717 --> 00:35:24,526 The details are in that report on your desk. 544 00:35:25,551 --> 00:35:28,157 Yes. I know. But for now just bottom-line it. 545 00:35:29,594 --> 00:35:31,835 What I'm worried about are the older wells. 546 00:35:32,095 --> 00:35:35,019 Working them at full capacity is gonna run them dry in a few years. 547 00:35:35,305 --> 00:35:36,591 Sooner than they ought to be. 548 00:35:37,139 --> 00:35:39,506 Which ties in directly with the profit picture. Bobby. 549 00:35:40,181 --> 00:35:42,388 I just don't see pumping that hot and heavy... 550 00:35:42,641 --> 00:35:44,803 when we're looking at an oil glut. 551 00:35:46,726 --> 00:35:49,730 All right. Gentlemen. I'll study these written reports in detail. 552 00:35:50,018 --> 00:35:51,861 But for now I have all I need. Thank you. 553 00:36:16,778 --> 00:36:18,701 What do you think of the season so far? 554 00:36:18,946 --> 00:36:21,836 - Which one. Football or hunting? - Football. 555 00:36:22,113 --> 00:36:26,118 Oh. Well. I'm not too thrilled with their draft choices this year. That's for sure. 556 00:36:26,448 --> 00:36:29,930 They could've beefed up that backfield. They should've done it years ago. 557 00:36:30,241 --> 00:36:33,723 I don't care what anybody wears to exercise class, but this girl showed up... 558 00:36:34,035 --> 00:36:36,800 wearing a string bikini the size of a stamp. 559 00:36:37,077 --> 00:36:39,762 - Did anyone say anything? - Well. no. 560 00:36:40,995 --> 00:36:43,316 - J.R. - I just don't think they have a chance. 561 00:36:43,580 --> 00:36:45,503 - They're out in the cold. - Here. 562 00:36:45,747 --> 00:36:48,353 - What's that? - Reports from geologists and accountants. 563 00:36:48,623 --> 00:36:51,069 - Read them if you have the nerve. - I don't need to. 564 00:36:51,333 --> 00:36:52,573 Well. I think you'd better. 565 00:36:52,791 --> 00:36:54,555 You can't pretend everything is normal. 566 00:36:54,792 --> 00:36:58,035 Those men think what you're trying to do is gonna ruin Ewing Oil. 567 00:36:58,335 --> 00:37:01,657 Bobby. I'd like it better if you'd discuss this with J.R. in private. 568 00:37:02,045 --> 00:37:05,288 I have tried, Mother. And I know how you feel about all this too. 569 00:37:05,588 --> 00:37:07,875 Let's not argue business in front of the family. 570 00:37:08,464 --> 00:37:12,469 But don't you understand that when we're quiet, it plays right into his hands? 571 00:37:12,799 --> 00:37:14,085 It becomes a cover-up for J.R. 572 00:37:14,299 --> 00:37:16,950 I'm not gonna do it anymore. I want everything in the open. 573 00:37:17,217 --> 00:37:19,584 I don't care what geologists say or the accountants. 574 00:37:19,843 --> 00:37:22,813 I don't need any advice from you on how to run an oil company. 575 00:37:23,094 --> 00:37:25,574 Well. Maybe this is one time you do need some. 576 00:37:25,845 --> 00:37:28,689 Pam. Why don't we let our men settle the business problems. 577 00:37:29,263 --> 00:37:31,743 Sue Ellen. Can't you see what J.R.'s trying to do? 578 00:37:32,639 --> 00:37:36,325 Yes. He's protecting what is rightfully his. 579 00:37:36,641 --> 00:37:38,928 Well. What about what's rightfully Bobby's? 580 00:37:39,183 --> 00:37:42,187 I'm simply trying to carry out the terms of Daddy's will. 581 00:37:42,476 --> 00:37:45,844 Daddy never thought that you'd try and use that will to destroy Ewing Oil. 582 00:37:46,269 --> 00:37:47,953 - Butt out. - Butt out of a business...? 583 00:37:48,187 --> 00:37:51,191 - Gentlemen. - All right. Now that's enough. Stop it. 584 00:37:52,647 --> 00:37:55,093 Tomorrow there's gonna be a wedding in this house. 585 00:37:55,356 --> 00:37:58,326 Tonight we were supposed to have a quiet family dinner together. 586 00:37:58,607 --> 00:38:00,257 Mama. That's exactly what I wanted. 587 00:38:00,941 --> 00:38:04,627 J.R.. I'm very pleased that you and Sue Ellen and John Ross... 588 00:38:04,943 --> 00:38:06,911 will be reunited under this roof. 589 00:38:07,152 --> 00:38:10,759 But I am not pleased to stand by and see this family torn apart... 590 00:38:11,070 --> 00:38:12,879 because of the terms of Jack's will. 591 00:38:13,112 --> 00:38:14,955 Daddy's will is crystal clear. 592 00:38:15,197 --> 00:38:18,838 And because of that will, the chips will have to fall where they may. 593 00:38:29,410 --> 00:38:31,731 Cliff is going to the wedding? 594 00:38:33,036 --> 00:38:34,845 I can't believe it. 595 00:38:35,079 --> 00:38:38,526 I tried to talk him out of it but he is absolutely determined. 596 00:38:38,997 --> 00:38:41,887 And he's angry. I mean. I've never even seen him this angry. 597 00:38:43,165 --> 00:38:45,771 Those damn Ewings. 598 00:38:46,333 --> 00:38:51,180 What a cruel thing for J.R. to do. Giving Cliff that invitation. 599 00:38:51,960 --> 00:38:55,407 It must have seemed to him like a challenge: 600 00:38:55,711 --> 00:38:57,600 "I dare you to come.�" 601 00:38:58,337 --> 00:39:00,578 Well. Cliff always takes a dare. 602 00:39:02,922 --> 00:39:05,846 I'm really afraid of what it's gonna do to him. 603 00:39:06,590 --> 00:39:08,592 But the worst of it is... 604 00:39:09,508 --> 00:39:10,953 that I think... 605 00:39:11,342 --> 00:39:13,743 I think that he's still in love with Sue Ellen. 606 00:39:15,177 --> 00:39:16,702 That can't be true. 607 00:39:16,928 --> 00:39:19,534 He's very fond of you. I'm sure of that. 608 00:39:21,304 --> 00:39:22,794 Rebecca... 609 00:39:24,264 --> 00:39:25,993 did you know that...? 610 00:39:26,764 --> 00:39:28,766 That when Cliff was in the hospital... 611 00:39:31,183 --> 00:39:34,710 the first thing he said when he came out of his coma was... 612 00:39:36,101 --> 00:39:37,626 Sue Ellen's name. 613 00:39:42,228 --> 00:39:45,516 You know what an emotional state Cliff was in. 614 00:39:45,813 --> 00:39:49,613 He could have just said it in anger. We just don't know. 615 00:39:51,440 --> 00:39:55,047 Thanks for trying to take the sting out of it. I know you're being kind. 616 00:39:56,192 --> 00:40:00,083 Afton. Do you love my son? 617 00:40:04,362 --> 00:40:05,773 Yes. 618 00:40:05,987 --> 00:40:09,992 Do you really want him to make a life with? 619 00:40:11,531 --> 00:40:15,377 - More than anything. - Then fight for him. 620 00:40:15,782 --> 00:40:19,389 If he means that much to you. You've got to fight for him. 621 00:40:19,951 --> 00:40:22,761 Not just for your own sake but for his. 622 00:40:23,744 --> 00:40:26,588 You're better for him than Sue Ellen... 623 00:40:27,037 --> 00:40:28,448 or anyone else. 624 00:40:43,084 --> 00:40:44,813 Miss Ellie. 625 00:40:45,252 --> 00:40:49,780 - Hi. What are you doing out here? - I was looking for you. 626 00:40:50,128 --> 00:40:53,257 I thought you'd probably be getting dressed for the wedding. 627 00:40:54,171 --> 00:40:56,651 Well. We still have a few hours. 628 00:40:57,214 --> 00:40:58,978 I needed to be alone. 629 00:40:59,215 --> 00:41:01,582 - Well. I can talk to you later. - Oh.

You may not be so glad this time. 632 00:41:07,051 --> 00:41:08,655 What's wrong? 633 00:41:08,885 --> 00:41:11,536 Well. I'm not sure that anything is wrong. 634 00:41:11,803 --> 00:41:13,965 I just really have to talk to you. 635 00:41:14,220 --> 00:41:16,109 You know the Texas Energy Commission? 636 00:41:16,346 --> 00:41:19,429 Well. It may not be voted in by the state legislature. 637 00:41:19,723 --> 00:41:22,727 - I thought it would be good for the state. - It is. 638 00:41:23,015 --> 00:41:25,143 But it has come up against strong opposition. 639 00:41:25,391 --> 00:41:28,679 And from what Dave has told me the bill creating this new commission... 640 00:41:28,976 --> 00:41:32,901 would be an absolute shoe-in if I agree to serve as a member. 641 00:41:33,227 --> 00:41:37,118 Well. I think it's wonderful that our representatives think so highly of you. 642 00:41:37,437 --> 00:41:39,963 Thank you. But there's a problem. 643 00:41:40,230 --> 00:41:44,394 You see.

Me standing up for him. He did it, he outfoxed me. 651 00:42:12,408 --> 00:42:15,537 Well. He certainly did this time. Look at it this way... 652 00:42:15,826 --> 00:42:19,751 for once. When they're talking about the best man. They'll be telling the truth. 653 00:42:20,078 --> 00:42:21,921 Well. I appreciate the attempt. Honey. 654 00:42:22,162 --> 00:42:25,450 But nothing you say can gloss over the way I feel about J.R. 655 00:42:25,747 --> 00:42:28,671 If I could do anything to get out of this gracefully. I'd do it. 656 00:42:28,956 --> 00:42:30,924 I'm sure you'd find some way to carry it off. 657 00:42:31,165 --> 00:42:34,009 Yeah. I guess so. But if he says a word. One word to me... 658 00:42:34,291 --> 00:42:37,374 he's gonna spend his honeymoon at Dallas Memorial Hospital. 659 00:42:37,668 --> 00:42:39,432 You are so cute when you're mad. 660 00:42:39,668 --> 00:42:41,875 Oh.
