1 00:00:01,568 --> 00:00:02,638 Sorry we're late. 2 00:00:02,751 --> 00:00:05,732 I want you all to meet Mitch's mom. This is Mrs. Cooper. 3 00:00:05,761 --> 00:00:07,934 - And his sister Afton. - Hello. 4 00:00:08,001 --> 00:00:10,106 We won't have to buy anything for a few years. 5 00:00:10,179 --> 00:00:13,820 Now. If marrying Lucy means I've gotta be tied into the Ewing family... 6 00:00:13,828 --> 00:00:17,002 and all this money. Then I'm not so sure I want that. Either. 7 00:00:17,028 --> 00:00:19,269 One of us is slipping. And I don't think it's me. 8 00:00:19,333 --> 00:00:22,712 No one has ever made love to me out of pity. Lt's not going to start now. 9 00:00:22,726 --> 00:00:24,569 You help to make this deal work... 10 00:00:24,647 --> 00:00:27,321 and I won't forget when you're running Ewing Oil again. 11 00:00:27,367 --> 00:00:29,870 Oh. I'll be back running Ewing Oil real soon. 12 00:02:11,272 --> 00:02:13,309 Hey. Morning. Bobby. Fill her? 13 00:02:13,385 --> 00:02:15,626 Yeah. Red. If you would. Please. 14 00:02:15,689 --> 00:02:18,829 Say. How's J.R. getting along these days? Is he feeling all right? 15 00:02:18,858 --> 00:02:21,134 Yeah. He's on the mend. Thank you. How's yourself? 16 00:02:21,195 --> 00:02:22,538 Oh. I can't complain. 17 00:02:22,636 --> 00:02:27,723 Of course. The way gas is going up. I'm not exactly everybody's favorite person. 18 00:02:27,725 --> 00:02:29,432 Folks think I set the prices. 19 00:02:29,517 --> 00:02:31,895 At least you're selling for less than the majors. 20 00:02:31,950 --> 00:02:34,988 - Hey. Is the coffee on? - Yeah. Right inside. Help yourself. 21 00:02:35,024 --> 00:02:36,697 Thank you. Bud. 22 00:02:45,267 --> 00:02:47,076 Lucy. You look beautiful. 23 00:02:47,156 --> 00:02:49,158 Thank you. 24 00:02:49,748 --> 00:02:52,354 Does Granddaddy know I'm wearing your wedding gown? 25 00:02:52,406 --> 00:02:54,682 He wouldn't hear of you wearing anything else. 26 00:02:54,741 --> 00:02:57,244 That dress has been waiting a long time for you. 27 00:02:58,390 --> 00:03:02,837 My daddy had a woman come all the way from Paris with the material for it. 28 00:03:02,840 --> 00:03:06,151 And money was hard for him to come by in those days. 29 00:03:06,169 --> 00:03:08,479 But he was very determined to show those oilmen... 30 00:03:08,537 --> 00:03:11,416 that a Southworth wouldn't be put to shame. 31 00:03:11,451 --> 00:03:13,692 What about Granddaddy? 32 00:03:15,452 --> 00:03:17,398 He was something. 33 00:03:17,469 --> 00:03:20,507 All decked out in formal clothes. 34 00:03:20,702 --> 00:03:23,512 He would have felt better in boots and jeans. 35 00:03:24,063 --> 00:03:27,909 He kept tugging at his collar trying to breathe. 36 00:03:29,120 --> 00:03:32,124 He was the handsomest man I'd ever seen. 37 00:03:32,609 --> 00:03:34,646 Still is. 38 00:03:35,330 --> 00:03:38,641 I believe my wedding day was the most wonderful day of my life. 39 00:03:39,364 --> 00:03:42,345 All those bridesmaids. All those ushers. 40 00:03:42,372 --> 00:03:45,046 And hundreds and hundreds of people. 41 00:03:46,373 --> 00:03:50,822 I can close my eyes and still think that I'm reliving it all over again. 42 00:03:53,479 --> 00:03:55,857 Well. Ours was a different setting. 43 00:03:55,912 --> 00:03:59,687 A justice of the peace in New Orleans city hall. 44 00:03:59,689 --> 00:04:01,794 We were both scared to death. 45 00:04:01,866 --> 00:04:04,403 Bobby Ewing marrying Digger Barnes' daughter. 46 00:04:04,460 --> 00:04:09,842 Well. When I was first married. My daddy didn't like Jock any better than Digger did. 47 00:04:10,604 --> 00:04:13,312 There comes a time when you have to let your family know... 48 00:04:13,358 --> 00:04:16,237 who really has the last word in suitable husbands. 49 00:04:16,271 --> 00:04:18,012 Is that really true. Grandma? 50 00:04:18,096 --> 00:04:20,542 Well. We would all like to think so anyway. 51 00:04:21,168 --> 00:04:23,512 I don't know. Mitch is so darn stubborn. 52 00:04:23,569 --> 00:04:26,948 All he ever thinks about is going to medical school and studying. 53 00:04:26,962 --> 00:04:30,000 Well. Lucy. You should consider yourself very lucky. 54 00:04:31,829 --> 00:04:34,309 Ambition is a fine quality to have in a man. 55 00:04:34,932 --> 00:04:36,843 Isn't it. Pamela? 56 00:04:38,870 --> 00:04:42,647 I suppose so. If the ambition doesn't become an obsession. 57 00:04:43,896 --> 00:04:47,862 Well. I'm not sure I would have loved Jock as much if he'd been different. 58 00:04:47,864 --> 00:04:49,639 All our men are ambitious. 59 00:04:50,233 --> 00:04:52,474 Except for my daddy. And he's doing just fine. 60 00:04:52,539 --> 00:04:54,109 That's true. Lucy. 61 00:04:54,651 --> 00:04:58,292 But Gary has other qualities that make him special. 62 00:04:58,908 --> 00:05:00,945 Very special. 63 00:05:03,134 --> 00:05:07,357 Well. I'd better go to work. I'm gonna be late. 64 00:05:07,359 --> 00:05:08,667 - Bye-bye. - Bye. Pam. 65 00:05:08,767 --> 00:05:10,337 Bye. 66 00:05:32,934 --> 00:05:34,572 - Morning. Bobby. - Morning. 67 00:05:34,663 --> 00:05:36,267 Jordan Lee called a few minutes ago. 68 00:05:36,360 --> 00:05:40,295 Wants to set a meeting for this afternoon and get your signature on the contracts. 69 00:05:40,297 --> 00:05:43,210 - Attorneys look at these? - They said they're fine. 70 00:05:47,756 --> 00:05:51,169 Morning. Bobby. J.R. is waiting for you in your office. 71 00:06:03,824 --> 00:06:05,462 - J.R. - Bobby. 72 00:06:07,025 --> 00:06:10,666 Now. This is a little awkward. But I think we should talk. 73 00:06:10,674 --> 00:06:12,881 All right. Talk. 74 00:06:12,948 --> 00:06:16,919 Well. I came in here to see if I can help you out any way I can. 75 00:06:17,268 --> 00:06:19,475 Help me out of what? 76 00:06:19,541 --> 00:06:22,750 Daddy investing that money you'd set aside for the Jordan Lee deal... 77 00:06:22,774 --> 00:06:25,050 hell. I know that left you in a tough position. 78 00:06:25,271 --> 00:06:27,273 For which I'm sure I have you to thank. 79 00:06:27,352 --> 00:06:29,593 Now. That was Daddy's decision. 80 00:06:29,656 --> 00:06:34,039 Well. Anyway. What I'm getting to is. Now that you can't go in on the deal... 81 00:06:34,041 --> 00:06:35,987 Ewing Oil is not gonna look too good. 82 00:06:36,411 --> 00:06:39,483 Well. J.R.. it won't be the first time that's happened. Will it? 83 00:06:39,516 --> 00:06:42,224 I know how you feel about running the company by yourself. 84 00:06:42,268 --> 00:06:43,838 And I don't want to interfere. 85 00:06:43,933 --> 00:06:46,880 But I think it's time that we put our personal feelings aside... 86 00:06:46,910 --> 00:06:50,016 and pull together for the good of the company. I'm here to help. 87 00:06:50,271 --> 00:06:54,142 Well. I'd like you to know that if I decide I need your help. I'll be sure and call. 88 00:06:54,144 --> 00:06:55,487 Right now. I'm real busy. 89 00:06:56,578 --> 00:06:59,115 Well. Like I said. I don't want to interfere. 90 00:06:59,169 --> 00:07:01,775 I think I'll get myself a little lunch. 91 00:07:06,211 --> 00:07:08,919 My point is, how soon can we get the permits? 92 00:07:08,964 --> 00:07:12,740 I hear that Dave Culver is trying to save Takapa from all of us developers. 93 00:07:12,742 --> 00:07:16,548 Oh. He's just doing that for publicity to make himself look good with the voters. 94 00:07:16,550 --> 00:07:19,429 Besides. Nobody knows we're behind this deal. 95 00:07:19,464 --> 00:07:21,740 Cliff Barnes has got his hooks in him pretty good. 96 00:07:21,801 --> 00:07:24,680 Not that he knows I'm in on it. But he could cause us trouble. 97 00:07:24,714 --> 00:07:27,388 I hear old Barnes has his hooks into Sam's widow. 98 00:07:27,435 --> 00:07:29,972 Yeah. And she's got Dave's ear. 99 00:07:30,027 --> 00:07:34,442 There's no way a sensible woman like Donna would cotton to Cliff Barnes. 100 00:07:34,445 --> 00:07:36,652 They're just do-gooders trying to get votes. 101 00:07:36,717 --> 00:07:40,620 The point is. It's gonna take them too long to get the support that they need. 102 00:07:40,622 --> 00:07:43,102 We'll have enough grease around with the commission... 103 00:07:43,151 --> 00:07:45,995 to get approved before those ecologists know what hit them. 104 00:07:46,032 --> 00:07:50,447 - Now. I'll drink to that. - I think we all better drink to that. Punk. 105 00:07:52,210 --> 00:07:55,089 I may not make it back for another hour or two. Connie. 106 00:07:55,123 --> 00:07:56,693 Well, it's pretty quiet here now. 107 00:07:56,787 --> 00:07:59,267 But I wish you'd hurry back in case Bobby needs me. 108 00:07:59,316 --> 00:08:03,763 I'm sure what J.R. has me doing is just as important as what's happening at the office. 109 00:08:03,765 --> 00:08:05,870 All right. Bye. 110 00:08:14,617 --> 00:08:16,619 What did she say was going on at the office? 111 00:08:16,698 --> 00:08:19,110 It's very quiet. 112 00:08:21,627 --> 00:08:23,004 You know. It's funny. 113 00:08:23,100 --> 00:08:26,912 When I first started to work for you. I never thought that we'd be... 114 00:08:27,677 --> 00:08:29,350 You know. 115 00:08:29,438 --> 00:08:31,782 Well. These things take time. 116 00:08:31,838 --> 00:08:36,719 I never appreciated all your marvelous qualities until... Until recently. 117 00:08:37,857 --> 00:08:42,239 But sometimes I feel like. You know. It's not right because I'm married and all... 118 00:08:42,241 --> 00:08:46,912 Hey. Now. It's not your fault your husband's on the road all the time. 119 00:08:46,915 --> 00:08:50,158 - I know. But... - Well. I don't think he appreciates you. 120 00:08:50,372 --> 00:08:52,852 Leastways. Not like I do. 121 00:08:52,901 --> 00:08:54,676 All those weeks you kept me informed... 122 00:08:54,757 --> 00:08:57,533 as to what was happening at the office when I was gone... 123 00:08:57,575 --> 00:08:59,145 that was invaluable to me. 124 00:09:00,231 --> 00:09:04,966 I'm doing it because I think you should be running Ewing Oil. Not Bobby. 125 00:09:04,969 --> 00:09:07,108 Well. I thank you for that. 126 00:09:07,177 --> 00:09:10,522 I think you're gonna have a tough time convincing Connie of it, however. 127 00:09:10,538 --> 00:09:13,178 I can't even talk to Connie about Bobby. 128 00:09:13,611 --> 00:09:16,182 I think she's got a thing for him. 129 00:09:18,733 --> 00:09:22,044 - They spend a lot of time together? - Not the way she'd like. 130 00:09:22,062 --> 00:09:26,442 He's so busy being the big boss that he doesn't have time for anything else. 131 00:09:26,640 --> 00:09:29,086 I don't know how his wife can handle it. 132 00:09:29,457 --> 00:09:32,563 Well. She may be getting him back sooner than she thinks. 133 00:09:32,594 --> 00:09:36,269 Especially if you keep old J.R. informed as to what's happening at the office. 134 00:09:36,818 --> 00:09:40,265 You just tell me what you want. And I'll do it. 135 00:10:06,172 --> 00:10:07,947 - Hi. - Hi. 136 00:10:08,028 --> 00:10:10,167 - I was trying to reach you earlier. - I'm sorry. 137 00:10:10,237 --> 00:10:13,980 Lucy was having a fitting for her wedding gown. I didn't realize how late it was. 138 00:10:13,982 --> 00:10:16,963 That's no problem. I just wanted to tell you about a lunch date. 139 00:10:16,991 --> 00:10:19,335 A lunch date? Liz. I'm sorry. I forgot. 140 00:10:19,392 --> 00:10:21,303 No. No. No. It just came up this morning. 141 00:10:21,377 --> 00:10:23,015 Alex Ward called. 142 00:10:23,105 --> 00:10:26,052 He's thinking about doing another theme feature on The Store... 143 00:10:26,081 --> 00:10:28,254 and he wants to have lunch to discuss it. 144 00:10:28,322 --> 00:10:31,826 Well. I don't think I can. I've got an awful lot of work to do. 145 00:10:31,843 --> 00:10:33,186 I've got that Houston show... 146 00:10:33,284 --> 00:10:35,787 and the materials are coming in from Newport today. 147 00:10:36,388 --> 00:10:39,028 Are you ducking Alex? 148 00:10:39,429 --> 00:10:41,841 Well. I think it's best if I don't see him right now. 149 00:10:41,895 --> 00:10:46,854 My life isn't running all that smoothly. And he wants to complicate it. 150 00:10:46,856 --> 00:10:48,460 Fair enough. 151 00:10:48,553 --> 00:10:52,126 - I'll take care of the lunch. - Thank you. 152 00:10:54,795 --> 00:10:57,366 He's a mighty persistent man though. 153 00:10:58,348 --> 00:11:02,353 - That he is. - I'll talk to you later. 154 00:11:07,824 --> 00:11:10,737 Yes? Jordan Lee and his attorney are here. 155 00:11:12,561 --> 00:11:14,268 Show them in. 156 00:11:19,379 --> 00:11:20,949 - Bobby. - Jordan. Good to see you. 157 00:11:21,043 --> 00:11:22,852 - You know Mark Harrelson. - I do indeed. 158 00:11:22,932 --> 00:11:24,172 Come on in and sit down. 159 00:11:24,276 --> 00:11:26,950 - You have Bennett check out the contracts? - Yes. I did. 160 00:11:26,997 --> 00:11:30,376 He said they're in fine shape. And I've signed them all. 161 00:11:30,390 --> 00:11:32,666 Do you have the advance payment? 162 00:11:34,359 --> 00:11:36,430 A check for $50,000. 163 00:11:36,504 --> 00:11:40,343 That goes into the escrow account while we do our core sampling. 164 00:11:40,345 --> 00:11:43,326 The balance of money delivered on demand or at start of drilling. 165 00:11:43,354 --> 00:11:47,268 Of course. We're probably talking about two maybe three months before that happens. 166 00:11:48,123 --> 00:11:49,864 I understand. 167 00:11:49,948 --> 00:11:51,894 You're not making a mistake. Bobby. 168 00:11:51,964 --> 00:11:56,003 I can feel this one. This is gonna be a big moneymaker for all of us. 169 00:11:56,350 --> 00:11:59,388 Jordan. I'm just glad we're back doing business with the cartel. 170 00:11:59,711 --> 00:12:01,782 Well. As long as it's you and not J.R. 171 00:12:02,175 --> 00:12:05,622 I'm not interested in doing any more business with your brother. 172 00:12:06,754 --> 00:12:08,597 Thank you. 173 00:12:10,339 --> 00:12:13,183 - Well. I'll keep in touch. Bobby. - All right. Jordan. 174 00:12:13,220 --> 00:12:14,756 Mr. Ewing. 175 00:12:23,237 --> 00:12:25,911 Shouldn't you have told Jordan you don't have the money? 176 00:12:25,959 --> 00:12:27,632 He never would have signed the deal. 177 00:12:27,720 --> 00:12:31,361 But what do you do when you have to come up with the balance? 178 00:12:31,369 --> 00:12:33,110 Well. I have two or three months. 179 00:12:33,193 --> 00:12:35,537 I'll come up with the money somehow. 180 00:12:43,085 --> 00:12:46,589 I was having lunch with Punk Anderson at the Cattlemen's Club today... 181 00:12:46,605 --> 00:12:49,347 - and I heard something interesting. - What's that. Dad? 182 00:12:49,390 --> 00:12:52,337 It seems Jordan Lee and a bunch of the old boys in the cartel... 183 00:12:52,367 --> 00:12:54,904 are putting together a drilling venture in the Gulf. 184 00:12:54,961 --> 00:12:57,134 Well. Is that so? 185 00:12:57,200 --> 00:13:00,272 I guess they weren't hurt as bad as they said from that Asian deal. 186 00:13:00,306 --> 00:13:01,546 Well. Maybe not. 187 00:13:01,650 --> 00:13:04,130 Fact is. I felt kind of bad when I heard about it. 188 00:13:04,178 --> 00:13:06,920 In the old days. We'd have all been at it together. 189 00:13:07,892 --> 00:13:09,530 We are in it together. Daddy. 190 00:13:11,221 --> 00:13:12,894 What's that mean. Bobby? 191 00:13:12,982 --> 00:13:15,588 Jordan asked me in on the deal. We're in for $12 million. 192 00:13:15,639 --> 00:13:18,677 Well. If you had enough money to go into a deal with Jordan Lee... 193 00:13:18,712 --> 00:13:22,647 how come you were all over Daddy when he invested in a project? 194 00:13:22,649 --> 00:13:24,629 That's the money I needed for Jordan. 195 00:13:24,697 --> 00:13:28,235 - Then we're not in the deal with Jordan. - I said. We're in. 196 00:13:28,250 --> 00:13:31,561 - Where are you gonna get all that money? - I'm working on it. 197 00:13:31,579 --> 00:13:33,581 What do you mean. Working on it? 198 00:13:33,660 --> 00:13:36,368 Daddy. I got two or three months to come up with it. 199 00:13:36,414 --> 00:13:40,055 You telling me you signed a deal with the cartel, without the money... 200 00:13:40,062 --> 00:13:43,805 - and no idea where to get it from? - I said. I've got time to come up with it. 201 00:13:43,807 --> 00:13:45,809 How come the company is in such bad shape... 202 00:13:45,887 --> 00:13:48,697 that my taking 10 million put you in such a tight squeeze? 203 00:13:48,737 --> 00:13:52,960 Daddy. The company's not in bad shape. Lt's in good shape, just not in liquid assets. 204 00:13:52,962 --> 00:13:56,375 I can't believe you'd go into any deal without the money to back it up. 205 00:13:56,386 --> 00:13:57,592 Look. I... 206 00:13:57,699 --> 00:14:00,077 Hold on. Fighting is not gonna do a bit of good. 207 00:14:00,133 --> 00:14:02,477 After all. Bobby got us back into the cartel. 208 00:14:02,533 --> 00:14:06,852 Hell. Raising $12 million takes no time. 209 00:14:06,855 --> 00:14:09,495 Oh. Yeah. Sure. Three months is a world of time. 210 00:14:09,543 --> 00:14:12,183 Lot of things can happen in three months. 211 00:14:16,105 --> 00:14:17,778 I'll come up with the money. Daddy. 212 00:14:18,442 --> 00:14:20,388 I know you will. 213 00:14:24,781 --> 00:14:28,812 You know. If we're gonna meet your mom and your sister at the airport tomorrow... 214 00:14:28,814 --> 00:14:31,454 I'd better get home and get some sleep. 215 00:14:31,503 --> 00:14:33,449 In a minute. 216 00:14:34,127 --> 00:14:35,572 Do you think they'll like me? 217 00:14:36,175 --> 00:14:38,280 Well. You're from a whole different world. 218 00:14:38,353 --> 00:14:41,562 Once they get to know you for who you are. They'll like you just fine. 219 00:14:41,906 --> 00:14:45,410 I'm so nervous. I've thought all day about what I should wear. 220 00:14:45,427 --> 00:14:47,737 Make it simple. That's how they're gonna be. 221 00:14:47,795 --> 00:14:49,502 Of course. 222 00:14:49,588 --> 00:14:51,932 By the way. I got them rooms at the Fairview Hotel. 223 00:14:53,045 --> 00:14:56,754 - Why did you do that? - Well. They certainly can't stay here. 224 00:14:56,758 --> 00:14:59,432 I mean. There's barely enough room for you to move around. 225 00:14:59,864 --> 00:15:02,572 Well. I grew up in a place half this size. 226 00:15:02,616 --> 00:15:05,995 I don't even know whether my mom stayed in a hotel room in her life. 227 00:15:06,009 --> 00:15:11,584 - Well. Then it's about time she did. - No. They stay here. 228 00:15:11,706 --> 00:15:15,930 Now. Lucy. It was really nice of you to do that. But I know them. 229 00:15:15,933 --> 00:15:18,470 They'll feel more comfortable here. 230 00:15:18,524 --> 00:15:20,561 I'm gonna stay at Rod Dexter's down the hall. 231 00:15:21,053 --> 00:15:23,226 Well. I can't wait till we get married... 232 00:15:23,295 --> 00:15:27,539 and get a place of our own that has enough room that we can move around in. 233 00:15:30,785 --> 00:15:33,698 I'm gonna tell you just one more time. 234 00:15:33,729 --> 00:15:36,835 This is what I can afford. And this is where we're gonna live. 235 00:15:37,667 --> 00:15:39,647 Don't be silly. 236 00:15:41,636 --> 00:15:43,877 I'll see you tomorrow. 237 00:15:48,870 --> 00:15:51,043 Come here. 238 00:16:11,566 --> 00:16:13,807 - Good morning. - Well. Hello. 239 00:16:13,869 --> 00:16:15,712 You were up early this morning. 240 00:16:15,790 --> 00:16:17,770 I went for a drive. 241 00:16:17,840 --> 00:16:20,184 I haven't been sleeping too well lately. 242 00:16:20,239 --> 00:16:21,650 I know. 243 00:16:21,744 --> 00:16:23,451 Want help? 244 00:16:23,537 --> 00:16:26,074 No. No. Nobody can help. 245 00:16:26,130 --> 00:16:29,475 Just a lot of things going on. Problems I have to solve. 246 00:16:30,131 --> 00:16:33,408 There was a time when you discussed your problems with me. 247 00:16:33,428 --> 00:16:36,500 Or is it now all your problems have to do with running Ewing Oil... 248 00:16:36,533 --> 00:16:38,604 and you don't think I'll understand? 249 00:16:39,094 --> 00:16:41,665 Of course not. Honey. You know how I value your opinion. 250 00:16:42,008 --> 00:16:44,045 Oh. Really? 251 00:16:45,079 --> 00:16:48,754 Well. Sure. These are just things I have to work out on my own. 252 00:16:48,761 --> 00:16:51,605 Fine. Bobby. You do that. 253 00:16:54,202 --> 00:16:55,772 Pamela. 254 00:16:55,867 --> 00:16:57,505 We all have problems. 255 00:16:57,595 --> 00:17:00,940 I thought it would help if we tried to solve them together. 256 00:17:08,735 --> 00:17:11,238 - Do I look all right? - Yeah. You look fine. 257 00:17:11,296 --> 00:17:12,673 - Are you sure? - Yeah. Yes. 258 00:17:12,769 --> 00:17:15,272 - Really? - Oh, there they are. 259 00:17:15,329 --> 00:17:17,240 - Hi! - Oh. Mitch! 260 00:17:17,378 --> 00:17:20,552 - Oh. Just let me look at you. - Well? 261 00:17:21,187 --> 00:17:24,828 Oh. This is Lucy. Lucy. This is my mother and my sister. Afton. 262 00:17:24,836 --> 00:17:28,835 Hi. Mrs. Cooper. So very nice to meet you. Hi. Afton. 263 00:17:28,837 --> 00:17:31,750 It's just such a pleasure to make your acquaintance. 264 00:17:31,782 --> 00:17:34,854 - Mitch wrote so much about you. - Nothing good. 265 00:17:34,887 --> 00:17:36,867 Oh. Mitchell. Now. You stop that. 266 00:17:36,936 --> 00:17:39,348 He said nothing but nice things about you. 267 00:17:39,400 --> 00:17:41,880 - Looks like he didn't say enough. - Well. Thank you. 268 00:17:41,929 --> 00:17:44,068 Oh. Come on. She's spoiled enough already. 269 00:17:44,138 --> 00:17:45,515 No. I'm not. 270 00:17:45,610 --> 00:17:48,819 - You really have all that money? - Afton! 271 00:17:49,131 --> 00:17:50,906 Just wanted to know. 272 00:17:51,181 --> 00:17:53,855 Well. I don't. But my family sure does. 273 00:17:53,901 --> 00:17:56,006 Now. Lucy. No matter what my son says... 274 00:17:56,078 --> 00:17:59,548 there is absolutely no reason to feel sorry about having a lot of money. 275 00:17:59,598 --> 00:18:03,102 There's got to be a hundred other things we could talk about besides money. 276 00:18:03,152 --> 00:18:07,535 Why don't you tell us about the wedding? I bet that's gonna be something. 277 00:18:07,537 --> 00:18:09,949 Let's get the bags or I'm gonna be late for school. 278 00:18:10,002 --> 00:18:13,279 Why don't I drop you off, and then we'll go on to your apartment. Okay? 279 00:18:13,299 --> 00:18:15,870 - All right. Let's go. - Good. 280 00:18:15,924 --> 00:18:19,633 Since Mitch wrote us about the wedding. I've been reading up on your family. 281 00:18:19,637 --> 00:18:20,877 Oh. Don't blame them on me. 282 00:18:20,981 --> 00:18:23,461 I'd like it if you could be one of my bridesmaids. 283 00:18:23,510 --> 00:18:26,047 - Oh. You would? - Yeah. Don't you think it would be fun? 284 00:18:26,103 --> 00:18:27,707 - I think that would be great. - Okay. 285 00:18:27,799 --> 00:18:29,779 Where you lead. Others follow. 286 00:18:29,848 --> 00:18:32,590 As the conscience of the great state of Texas... 287 00:18:32,634 --> 00:18:36,729 I'm sure you recognize the reasons for keeping the Takapa area... 288 00:18:36,731 --> 00:18:41,373 the unspoiled wilderness that Texans have enjoyed for generations. 289 00:18:42,268 --> 00:18:43,804 Any further questions? 290 00:18:44,445 --> 00:18:45,788 Mrs. Townsend? 291 00:18:46,718 --> 00:18:48,391 With all the other state problems... 292 00:18:48,477 --> 00:18:52,357 why is Senator Culver spending so much time trying to save a swamp? 293 00:18:55,840 --> 00:19:01,887 I think one of the things that we as Texans have always prided ourselves on... 294 00:19:01,890 --> 00:19:03,335 is the love of the land. 295 00:19:03,427 --> 00:19:05,907 And it seems that lately... 296 00:19:05,955 --> 00:19:08,231 there's been a surge of developers moving in... 297 00:19:08,292 --> 00:19:11,102 trying to turn us into one vast multiplex. 298 00:19:11,141 --> 00:19:16,453 Dave feels that it is vitally important that we draw the line at Takapa. 299 00:19:16,455 --> 00:19:19,664 He knows that what he's doing may not be popular with some people. 300 00:19:20,040 --> 00:19:22,680 But it's like his daddy. Sam Culver, always said: 301 00:19:22,729 --> 00:19:27,976 �Lt's easy to say yes with a crowd. But it takes a real man to say no alone.� 302 00:19:27,979 --> 00:19:30,926 Dave is saying no to developing Takapa. 303 00:19:30,956 --> 00:19:34,961 I'm hoping you're not gonna let him say no alone. 304 00:19:52,914 --> 00:19:55,952 - Sue Ellen. You want a cup of coffee? - No. Thank you. Miss Ellie. 305 00:19:55,988 --> 00:19:58,264 I'll just get some club soda. Do you want a drink? 306 00:19:58,324 --> 00:19:59,962 No. Thanks. 307 00:20:02,069 --> 00:20:05,380 - Miss Ellie. - Donna. You're quite a speech maker. 308 00:20:05,398 --> 00:20:09,039 - Sam would be proud of you. - Lord knows I listened to enough of his. 309 00:20:09,047 --> 00:20:12,620 But I think he would feel the same way about this as Dave and I do. 310 00:20:12,632 --> 00:20:15,772 Well. It's hard to disagree with what you say. 311 00:20:16,313 --> 00:20:19,351 You know. I'm... I'm really gonna count on you for your support. 312 00:20:19,387 --> 00:20:21,526 I know you have a lot of influence around here. 313 00:20:21,595 --> 00:20:23,404 Well. Not that much. I wouldn't think. 314 00:20:23,484 --> 00:20:26,294 But as soon as I have a little more time. I'll do what I can. 315 00:20:26,333 --> 00:20:27,744 Thank you. 316 00:20:31,677 --> 00:20:34,055 Hello. Sue Ellen. 317 00:20:34,111 --> 00:20:36,557 Cliff. I'm surprised to see you here. 318 00:20:36,608 --> 00:20:39,248 Anything for a good cause. 319 00:20:39,297 --> 00:20:41,277 You're looking good. 320 00:20:41,953 --> 00:20:44,399 That's because I'm happy now. 321 00:20:47,236 --> 00:20:52,066 You and J.R. must be getting along well. Although I find that hard to believe. 322 00:20:52,068 --> 00:20:54,742 Cliff. I'm sure that you find many things hard to believe. 323 00:20:54,789 --> 00:20:57,235 Nevertheless. We've never been happier. 324 00:20:57,287 --> 00:20:59,062 I'm sorry. I shouldn't have said that. 325 00:20:59,142 --> 00:21:02,146 I'm really glad that you are getting along well. 326 00:21:02,184 --> 00:21:04,721 And you and Donna? 327 00:21:04,777 --> 00:21:07,257 The two of you seem very well-suited for each other. 328 00:21:07,305 --> 00:21:10,479 You finally found someone you can talk power and politics with. 329 00:21:10,506 --> 00:21:12,679 She's a remarkable lady. 330 00:21:12,747 --> 00:21:16,422 Very bright. Very strong. Very caring. 331 00:21:17,197 --> 00:21:22,340 Well. We both seem to have found the best of all possible worlds. 332 00:21:23,022 --> 00:21:27,949 You know. Everyone is doing their very best trying not to notice us. 333 00:21:27,952 --> 00:21:30,057 But they still are. 334 00:21:31,729 --> 00:21:35,506 Our old sins take a long time to die. Don't they? 335 00:21:38,484 --> 00:21:41,021 Excuse me. 336 00:21:59,161 --> 00:22:01,505 What are you doing home so early. J.R.? 337 00:22:01,562 --> 00:22:04,270 Well. There's not much for me to do around the office. 338 00:22:04,315 --> 00:22:08,263 I offered Bobby my help and he refused so I just came home. 339 00:22:10,365 --> 00:22:12,777 Hey. I got an idea. 340 00:22:12,830 --> 00:22:15,743 Why don't you and I go into Braddock and hit a few of the bars? 341 00:22:15,775 --> 00:22:18,085 We haven't been drinking together for a long time. 342 00:22:18,143 --> 00:22:20,282 - Come on. - You buying? 343 00:22:20,352 --> 00:22:22,263 Who else? 344 00:22:22,336 --> 00:22:23,872 That's a good idea, Dad. 345 00:22:23,969 --> 00:22:28,032 I better take my car. I'll have to drive when I drink you under the table. 346 00:22:28,034 --> 00:22:31,106 If you'd like to make a little wager on that. We'll just get to it. 347 00:22:31,139 --> 00:22:35,087 - Five thousand dollars be all right? - Chicken feed. Boy. Chicken feed. 348 00:22:38,118 --> 00:22:40,496 I offered Bobby my help and he refused so I just came home. 349 00:22:40,551 --> 00:22:43,532 The income from the wells and the refinery is more than enough... 350 00:22:43,559 --> 00:22:45,561 to meet expenses and show a nice profit. 351 00:22:45,640 --> 00:22:48,450 - But we have a cash-flow problem. - Well. Temporarily. 352 00:22:48,489 --> 00:22:51,732 There is some cash. But not nearly enough for what you need. 353 00:22:51,754 --> 00:22:55,395 And there's very little else to sell without interfering with oil production. 354 00:22:55,403 --> 00:22:57,314 As I said. The company's in good shape... 355 00:22:57,387 --> 00:22:59,867 with the exception of any major new expenditures. 356 00:22:59,915 --> 00:23:03,453 So there's no way I can get my hands on $12 million in a hurry? 357 00:23:03,982 --> 00:23:06,258 That's it. Sorry. Bobby. 358 00:23:07,054 --> 00:23:10,763 Well. That's all right, Tom. I'll get it some way. 359 00:23:10,768 --> 00:23:12,543 Sure. 360 00:23:18,514 --> 00:23:21,358 You know. I thought by now I'd be carrying you to the car. 361 00:23:21,395 --> 00:23:24,740 - No way. Dad. - You're all right, J.R. You're all right. 362 00:23:24,756 --> 00:23:27,464 You stayed with me drink for drink. Well. Damn near anyway. 363 00:23:27,508 --> 00:23:28,987 Well. Somebody's gotta drive. 364 00:23:29,077 --> 00:23:30,818 - Red. Where's my car? - Right there. 365 00:23:30,901 --> 00:23:35,925 - Hey. Red. Maybe you'd best drive us home. - No. Thanks. 366 00:23:35,928 --> 00:23:37,771 I was only joshing you anyway. Red. 367 00:23:39,192 --> 00:23:43,766 Well. That's good. Because I sure don't feel like doing any favors for the Ewings. 368 00:23:44,154 --> 00:23:46,395 - What's the matter. Red? - Nothing. 369 00:23:46,459 --> 00:23:48,769 Well. You're mad at something. What did we do? 370 00:23:48,828 --> 00:23:53,082 Well. It ain't you. Jock. Or J.R. lt's Bobby. 371 00:23:53,084 --> 00:23:55,030 Oh. What did he do now? 372 00:23:55,101 --> 00:23:59,932 You know. We always got our gas from that old refinery way before Bobby bought it. 373 00:23:59,935 --> 00:24:01,107 So? 374 00:24:01,503 --> 00:24:03,915 So I was talking to Brady York. The distributor. 375 00:24:04,256 --> 00:24:05,599 Well. I know Brady. 376 00:24:05,696 --> 00:24:08,836 Yeah. Well. Brady said Bobby tried to raise the price $2 a barrel. 377 00:24:08,898 --> 00:24:10,775 Everybody's raising prices. 378 00:24:10,850 --> 00:24:13,126 They just want to offset the price of crude. 379 00:24:13,379 --> 00:24:15,723 It don't have nothing to do with the cost of crude. 380 00:24:15,779 --> 00:24:17,190 Well. What did he do it for? 381 00:24:17,285 --> 00:24:18,764 To make more profit. 382 00:24:18,853 --> 00:24:22,494 And I hear he was mighty unhappy when he found out we wouldn't pay it. 383 00:24:22,501 --> 00:24:24,572 Red. You're getting at something. What is it? 384 00:24:24,647 --> 00:24:26,456 You bet I'm getting at something. 385 00:24:26,536 --> 00:24:31,207 Now the rumor is that Bobby's thinking about cutting off our gas supply altogether. 386 00:24:31,209 --> 00:24:34,554 Selling all of it to anybody that will meet his price. 387 00:24:34,570 --> 00:24:37,881 That would put me and the rest of the independents right out of business. 388 00:24:37,899 --> 00:24:39,401 Now. Hold on. Red. 389 00:24:39,499 --> 00:24:41,410 Ewing Oil may be looking for profit... 390 00:24:41,484 --> 00:24:44,397 but we pick on people our own size. And you know it. 391 00:24:44,429 --> 00:24:48,652 There's no way Bobby would do anything to put you out of business. 392 00:24:48,654 --> 00:24:51,601 We've been friends too long for something like that. Red. 393 00:24:51,631 --> 00:24:54,373 Yeah. Well. I have been hearing rumors to the contrary. 394 00:24:54,768 --> 00:24:56,441 Now. Let me tell you something. 395 00:24:56,528 --> 00:25:01,104 If any son of mine ever did anything like that. He'd be out of Ewing Oil so fast... 396 00:25:01,107 --> 00:25:03,747 he wouldn't have time to close the door behind him. 397 00:25:04,050 --> 00:25:06,155 You got my word for that. Red. 398 00:25:06,227 --> 00:25:09,333 Well. That's mighty good to hear. Jock. 399 00:25:10,197 --> 00:25:12,905 Well. You got my promise. 400 00:25:12,949 --> 00:25:15,555 Imagine Bobby doing something like that? 401 00:25:15,607 --> 00:25:19,282 - I'll look into it myself. Dad. - See you. Red. 402 00:25:33,980 --> 00:25:36,722 - J.R. - Jeremy. How are you doing? 403 00:25:36,765 --> 00:25:38,870 It's been a long time since I've been up here. 404 00:25:38,942 --> 00:25:41,047 I think the last time was that big poker game. 405 00:25:41,118 --> 00:25:44,861 If I remember correctly. You walked away with most of the chips too. Didn't you? 406 00:25:44,863 --> 00:25:48,140 - What about a drink? What do you say? - A little early for me. J.R. 407 00:25:48,161 --> 00:25:49,538 Why don't we get down to it? 408 00:25:49,633 --> 00:25:52,580 Why did you call and suggest that we meet here. Of all places? 409 00:25:52,611 --> 00:25:55,319 Well. I thought we might have a little private talk. 410 00:25:55,362 --> 00:25:58,070 I hear you made an offer to buy Bobby's gasoline. 411 00:25:58,851 --> 00:26:01,559 J.R.. you may be out of power. But you're not out of touch. 412 00:26:01,605 --> 00:26:03,209 Or did Bobby tell you? 413 00:26:03,302 --> 00:26:06,044 No. I have my sources. He's not one of them. 414 00:26:06,086 --> 00:26:08,191 What I don't know is what the offer was. 415 00:26:08,263 --> 00:26:11,767 Very simple. I offered to buy the gasoline he's refining. 416 00:26:11,784 --> 00:26:15,623 I would have given him $2 a barrel more than he's getting already. 417 00:26:15,625 --> 00:26:18,299 - How much do you want? - Every last barrel. 418 00:26:20,009 --> 00:26:23,980 Why would Bobby turn down $100,000 a day extra profit? 419 00:26:24,300 --> 00:26:27,543 He said he had contracts for the gasoline. Wouldn't break them. 420 00:26:27,821 --> 00:26:31,963 Oh. You know as well as I do there's not a contract written that can't be broken. 421 00:26:32,622 --> 00:26:35,125 It's just not the same as when you were there. J.R. 422 00:26:35,183 --> 00:26:36,890 A man could reason with you. 423 00:26:36,975 --> 00:26:38,784 I'm willing to listen to reason. 424 00:26:38,864 --> 00:26:43,152 J.R.. you help to make this deal work. I'll personally be very grateful to you. 425 00:26:43,154 --> 00:26:44,224 I have a good memory... 426 00:26:44,338 --> 00:26:47,547 and I won't forget you when and if you're running Ewing Oil again. 427 00:26:47,796 --> 00:26:50,402 Oh. I'll be back running Ewing Oil real soon. 428 00:26:50,739 --> 00:26:52,241 What do you think. Jackie? 429 00:26:52,341 --> 00:26:55,015 I think that's what Liz had in mind. 430 00:26:55,541 --> 00:26:58,112 Maybe you better use these too. 431 00:26:59,095 --> 00:27:01,097 Isn't Liz expecting you for a meeting? 432 00:27:01,848 --> 00:27:04,624 That was before the meeting was postponed from this morning. 433 00:27:04,664 --> 00:27:07,440 Make my excuses for me. Okay? I gotta get home. 434 00:27:07,481 --> 00:27:10,018 Okay. Have a nice evening. 435 00:27:10,138 --> 00:27:13,347 - Shall I get that? - No. I got it. Bye-bye. 436 00:27:13,563 --> 00:27:15,201 Hello. Pamela Ewing. 437 00:27:15,292 --> 00:27:17,135 Alex Ward. 438 00:27:17,852 --> 00:27:21,095 - Well. Hello. - Well. That's a start. 439 00:27:21,117 --> 00:27:23,097 I wasn't sure you'd even talk to me. 440 00:27:23,358 --> 00:27:26,168 - Well. Of course I'm talking to you. - Good. 441 00:27:26,464 --> 00:27:29,070 I had the distinct impression that you were avoiding me. 442 00:27:29,120 --> 00:27:30,758 I want to see you, Pam. 443 00:27:30,848 --> 00:27:35,354 Well. I'm not trying to avoid you. Alex. I don't feel that I should see you. 444 00:27:35,393 --> 00:27:38,738 Well. I told you I was willing to overlook the fact that you're married. 445 00:27:38,754 --> 00:27:40,461 - But I'm not. - Pamela... 446 00:27:40,548 --> 00:27:45,091 if your marriage is good. I can't hurt it. If it's not. What have you got to lose? 447 00:27:45,093 --> 00:27:47,164 Have dinner with me. 448 00:27:47,782 --> 00:27:51,781 Look. Alex. I've got to go to a family dinner. And I'm running late. 449 00:27:51,783 --> 00:27:53,319 - I have to go. - But... 450 00:27:53,415 --> 00:27:54,917 Goodbye. 451 00:28:00,362 --> 00:28:03,502 Well. I got this call from some former colleagues down in Louisiana. 452 00:28:03,531 --> 00:28:05,772 They wanted me to look at this drilling platform. 453 00:28:05,835 --> 00:28:08,076 - Who are they? - Well. Now. All that... 454 00:28:08,140 --> 00:28:09,551 - Sorry I'm late. - Hello. Pam. 455 00:28:09,644 --> 00:28:10,714 Just got here myself. 456 00:28:10,829 --> 00:28:12,570 - Can I get you a drink? - No. Thanks. 457 00:28:12,653 --> 00:28:14,997 Well. Everybody has arrived but the guest of honor. 458 00:28:15,054 --> 00:28:17,762 Maybe you should get him a watch for your wedding present. 459 00:28:17,808 --> 00:28:19,344 Hi.

I was just joking. Mama. 464 00:28:29,427 --> 00:28:31,134 There's a couple of poor folks here. 465 00:28:33,043 --> 00:28:35,455 Hi. Everyone.

Jock. 478 00:29:12,289 --> 00:29:16,192 - Can I get you a cold drink or anything? - No. Thank you. 479 00:29:16,194 --> 00:29:19,266 I must say. Beauty certainly runs in your family. 480 00:29:19,298 --> 00:29:22,302 I understand they raise these huge magnolias down in Mississippi. 481 00:29:22,339 --> 00:29:24,080 - Is that right? - Yeah. That's true. 482 00:29:24,164 --> 00:29:26,804 - Is it true what they say about alligators? - Yeah. 483 00:29:26,853 --> 00:29:28,332 - It is? - Lt is true. 484 00:29:28,421 --> 00:29:31,891 - They're all along the sides of the road. - You're kidding. Are they really? 485 00:29:31,910 --> 00:29:34,049 - Spanish moss is hanging in the trees. - Really? 486 00:29:34,119 --> 00:29:36,690 - It's pretty scary. - And they sing songs like...? 487 00:29:36,744 --> 00:29:39,054 Don't they look wonderful? 488 00:29:39,112 --> 00:29:40,284 They sure do. Lucy. I... 489 00:29:40,393 --> 00:29:43,772 Pam. We went to The Store today. I looked for you. But you weren't there. 490 00:29:43,786 --> 00:29:46,062 I was in and out all day. I had a lot of meetings. 491 00:29:46,122 --> 00:29:47,999 Yeah. That's what we figured. 492 00:29:48,331 --> 00:29:49,776 Mom. 493 00:29:49,867 --> 00:29:51,540 We bought out the whole store. 494 00:29:51,628 --> 00:29:55,166 Now. Before you say anything to Lucy about spending all that money on us... 495 00:29:55,181 --> 00:29:57,752 you just take a good look at your sister. 496 00:29:57,806 --> 00:30:01,549 She never had a dress like that before. She loves it. 497 00:30:01,551 --> 00:30:05,294 - Makes her feel like she belongs. - Lt's just not right, Mom. 498 00:30:05,296 --> 00:30:08,004 Lucy had pleasure doing it for us. 499 00:30:08,050 --> 00:30:11,985 Lord knows it gives me pleasure watching her wear it. 500 00:30:11,987 --> 00:30:16,690 Now. I won't have your pride spoiling it for either one of them. You hear me? 501 00:30:16,692 --> 00:30:20,499 It gives me pleasure too. Ma. It's just that. Well... 502 00:30:20,501 --> 00:30:24,210 I only wish I could have been the one that bought them. That's all. 503 00:30:24,214 --> 00:30:25,852 I know. 504 00:30:27,863 --> 00:30:31,367 I know. Mitch. I know. I know. 505 00:30:39,259 --> 00:30:40,533 Bobby? 506 00:30:40,635 --> 00:30:42,171 Yeah. Honey? 507 00:30:42,269 --> 00:30:44,215 Can you finish that in the morning? 508 00:30:44,285 --> 00:30:45,958 No. Sweetie. I can't. 509 00:30:46,046 --> 00:30:49,425 I have to finish it tonight. I have a meeting first thing in the morning. 510 00:30:51,967 --> 00:30:53,469 Hey. 511 00:30:54,400 --> 00:30:57,244 I know you're under a lot of pressure. 512 00:30:57,281 --> 00:31:00,956 And I know things haven't been very good between us lately. 513 00:31:01,666 --> 00:31:04,840 And maybe a lot of it has been my fault. 514 00:31:04,866 --> 00:31:08,245 But. Bobby. It seems like we don't ever spend any time together anymore. 515 00:31:08,260 --> 00:31:10,706 Everything's changing. 516 00:31:10,757 --> 00:31:13,135 Honey. I know I spend a lot of time at work... 517 00:31:13,190 --> 00:31:16,399 but why do you think that changes things between us? 518 00:31:16,743 --> 00:31:19,223 Well. We haven't made love in weeks. 519 00:31:19,271 --> 00:31:21,581 That tells me something. 520 00:31:21,864 --> 00:31:23,673 Come on now. It hasn't been that long. 521 00:31:23,945 --> 00:31:26,619 No? When was the last time? 522 00:31:32,300 --> 00:31:34,974 Well. That's wonderful. Bobby. You can't even remember. 523 00:31:36,076 --> 00:31:39,353 One of us is slipping. And I don't think it's me. 524 00:31:47,888 --> 00:31:52,928 No one has ever made love to me out of pity. And it's not going to start now. 525 00:31:58,643 --> 00:32:01,317 Those were real interesting folks last night. The Coopers. 526 00:32:01,365 --> 00:32:02,503 Yeah. 527 00:32:02,613 --> 00:32:04,559 I guess I underestimated Mitch. 528 00:32:04,630 --> 00:32:07,167 Well. They seem like nice enough folks. 529 00:32:07,222 --> 00:32:09,361 Yeah. 530 00:32:09,431 --> 00:32:12,901 - You suppose Afton can type? - What? 531 00:32:12,920 --> 00:32:15,059 - Morning. Pam. - Good morning. 532 00:32:15,129 --> 00:32:16,836 Well... 533 00:32:19,770 --> 00:32:21,545 Bobby. Morning. 534 00:32:21,628 --> 00:32:23,505 What's wrong with Pam. Bobby? 535 00:32:23,579 --> 00:32:25,456 Nothing. Daddy. 536 00:32:28,637 --> 00:32:31,777 Bob. It may be none of my business... 537 00:32:31,805 --> 00:32:35,965 but it takes a special kind of wife to be able to stand up under the pressures... 538 00:32:35,968 --> 00:32:38,744 of being married to the president of a big oil firm. 539 00:32:38,783 --> 00:32:43,391 And. I don't know. I just don't think Pam is cut out to be an executive's wife. 540 00:32:43,714 --> 00:32:46,786 You're right about one thing. J.R. lt's none of your business. 541 00:32:46,819 --> 00:32:49,265 Now. Don't get touchy. 542 00:32:49,316 --> 00:32:51,318 Hello. 543 00:32:51,396 --> 00:32:54,138 Well. Hi. Jordan.
