1 00:00:30,400 --> 00:00:32,084 J.R.. have you seen the morning paper? 2 00:00:33,200 --> 00:00:34,565 Yes. Ma'am. I did. 3 00:00:35,640 --> 00:00:37,483 I wonder if the price of oil going down... 4 00:00:37,640 --> 00:00:40,484 is gonna have an effect on your daddy's stay in South America. 5 00:00:40,640 --> 00:00:44,008 Oh. I doubt it. It's just temporary. 6 00:00:44,720 --> 00:00:46,165 - Good morning. - Good morning. 7 00:00:46,320 --> 00:00:47,765 - Morning. - Ray. Donna. 8 00:00:47,920 --> 00:00:49,081 How you doing? 9 00:00:49,240 --> 00:00:52,926 You see here where the price of crude just dropped a dollar a barrel. J.R.? 10 00:00:53,080 --> 00:00:55,287 Is that all anybody can talk about around here? 11 00:00:55,640 --> 00:00:58,007 It's not gonna hurt Ewing that much. Is it? 12 00:00:58,160 --> 00:01:01,607 - I was just telling Mama. It's temporary. - Well. I hope it continues to drop. 13 00:01:01,760 --> 00:01:05,446 It's bound to be good for the economy. Especially if it goes down at the stations. 14 00:01:06,080 --> 00:01:09,687 Well. What's good for the economy is not necessarily good for Ewing Oil. 15 00:01:09,840 --> 00:01:12,241 J.R.. that's a dreadful thing to say. 16 00:01:12,400 --> 00:01:15,768 - Well. It's true. Mama. You know that. - I don't see how it could hurt Ewing. 17 00:01:15,920 --> 00:01:18,400 Maybe you lose a little bit on the price of your crude... 18 00:01:18,560 --> 00:01:21,040 but the only people who'll be hurt are speculators... 19 00:01:21,200 --> 00:01:24,329 who've been sitting on all that oil waiting for the price to go up. 20 00:01:24,560 --> 00:01:26,483 It's kind of hard to find sympathy for them. 21 00:01:28,600 --> 00:01:30,728 I gotta get to work. 22 00:01:30,880 --> 00:01:32,086 Kind of edgy. Isn't he? 23 00:01:32,240 --> 00:01:35,130 Well. I imagine most of the oil producers are. 24 00:01:35,280 --> 00:01:38,568 You know. It's time we took off. Decorators don't like to be kept waiting. 25 00:01:38,720 --> 00:01:41,929 You're so right. Rising so late. 26 00:01:42,080 --> 00:01:43,286 - Okay. - Bye-bye- 27 00:01:43,440 --> 00:01:45,090 Bye. Miss Ellie. 28 00:01:45,520 --> 00:01:47,329 SOUTHERN CROSS RANCH 29 00:01:48,240 --> 00:01:49,924 It's a serious situation. Mr. Farlow. 30 00:01:50,080 --> 00:01:52,082 Now that we're shutting down the refineries... 31 00:01:52,240 --> 00:01:54,811 we're laying off 500 men. We're down to skeleton crews. 32 00:01:54,960 --> 00:01:57,281 I want the men we've laid off kept on at half salary. 33 00:01:57,440 --> 00:01:59,442 - You can't be serious. - I'm very serious. 34 00:01:59,600 --> 00:02:00,886 You can't afford to do that. 35 00:02:01,520 --> 00:02:03,682 Without the income from the refineries... 36 00:02:03,840 --> 00:02:05,888 you a have a very serious cash-flow problem. 37 00:02:06,040 --> 00:02:08,247 Then we'll go on as long as we can. 38 00:02:08,960 --> 00:02:11,930 I understand your loyalties to your men. Mr. Farlow... 39 00:02:12,080 --> 00:02:15,163 but you're putting yourself in a pretty precarious position. 40 00:02:28,360 --> 00:02:31,762 Clayton. I can't let you do this. 41 00:02:32,520 --> 00:02:34,329 It's out of your hands. 42 00:02:34,480 --> 00:02:36,528 But it's all happening because of me. 43 00:02:36,680 --> 00:02:39,524 I can't let you destroy everything you've built. Not for my sake. 44 00:02:39,680 --> 00:02:41,728 It's not only for your sake. 45 00:02:41,880 --> 00:02:45,123 I've had other men try to break me. And I didn't give in to the pressure. 46 00:02:45,280 --> 00:02:47,806 I'm certainly not gonna give in to flagrant blackmail. 47 00:02:48,400 --> 00:02:50,482 - But if I left... - Sue Ellen. 48 00:02:50,680 --> 00:02:53,251 We're not the only ones with a problem. 49 00:02:53,400 --> 00:02:54,811 You read the paper this morning. 50 00:02:54,960 --> 00:02:57,930 Now. J.R. is sitting on top of 5 million barrels of oil... 51 00:02:58,080 --> 00:03:00,321 that just went down over a dollar per barrel. 52 00:03:00,480 --> 00:03:02,801 And it looks like it's gonna drop even more. 53 00:03:02,960 --> 00:03:05,531 Now. He's got to be more than a little nervous by now. 54 00:03:09,440 --> 00:03:10,441 BROOKTREE HOSPITAL 55 00:03:10,600 --> 00:03:14,366 Do you think your mother was the first woman ever to abandon her husband? 56 00:03:14,520 --> 00:03:16,090 Of course not. 57 00:03:16,240 --> 00:03:18,891 Then why do you refuse to even discuss it? 58 00:03:19,040 --> 00:03:22,408 Because most women don't abandon their children. 59 00:03:22,560 --> 00:03:25,769 Hasn't your mother explained all that to you? 60 00:03:25,920 --> 00:03:28,002 Yes. And I understand her reasons. 61 00:03:28,680 --> 00:03:30,011 But? 62 00:03:30,240 --> 00:03:33,562 Understanding them and being able to live with them are different things. 63 00:03:33,720 --> 00:03:35,802 The same thing happened to your brother. 64 00:03:35,960 --> 00:03:37,724 He seems to have coped very well. 65 00:03:37,880 --> 00:03:40,247 Cliff coped by being so bitter that until recently... 66 00:03:40,400 --> 00:03:42,528 he couldn't even talk about my mother. 67 00:03:42,680 --> 00:03:44,762 How did you feel about her? 68 00:03:46,920 --> 00:03:49,161 Well. I always thought I loved her. 69 00:03:49,320 --> 00:03:51,084 Even when I thought she was dead. 70 00:03:52,160 --> 00:03:54,003 Don't you still feel that way? 71 00:03:54,800 --> 00:03:57,041 Well. Of course I do. 72 00:03:58,320 --> 00:03:59,924 It's just... 73 00:04:02,920 --> 00:04:04,410 Just what? 74 00:04:04,560 --> 00:04:07,609 I never had a real relationship with my mother. 75 00:04:07,760 --> 00:04:11,810 And I'm never gonna have a relationship with a child of my own. I feel empty. 76 00:04:12,160 --> 00:04:15,209 And you think a child will make up for what you missed? 77 00:04:15,680 --> 00:04:18,923 I don't know. I just know that's all I think about. 78 00:04:19,080 --> 00:04:21,686 On top of that building. I didn't realize where I was. 79 00:04:21,840 --> 00:04:24,491 Everything just felt empty and futile. 80 00:04:24,640 --> 00:04:27,166 I can't give birth to my own child. I can't adopt. 81 00:04:27,480 --> 00:04:29,528 But you'll be able to adopt. 82 00:04:29,680 --> 00:04:32,570 - It's only a question of time. - That's what Bobby says. 83 00:04:32,720 --> 00:04:35,451 Well. I don't know if I can stand the pain that long. 84 00:04:37,560 --> 00:04:39,688 Can you describe the pain? 85 00:04:40,560 --> 00:04:42,881 No. I just know it's there. 86 00:04:43,040 --> 00:04:45,725 And that if I could have a child of my own. I could prove... 87 00:04:45,880 --> 00:04:48,451 Prove what to whom? 88 00:04:49,040 --> 00:04:51,441 - To me. - What could you prove? 89 00:04:52,560 --> 00:04:55,450 That I could love it. And I could be near it... 90 00:04:55,600 --> 00:04:57,284 and that I'd never leave it. 91 00:04:57,440 --> 00:04:59,044 That it could grow up safe... 92 00:04:59,200 --> 00:05:02,488 and that it would always know that it was loved. 93 00:05:03,320 --> 00:05:06,164 And you think that would make the pain go away? 94 00:05:10,960 --> 00:05:12,849 I don't know. 95 00:05:14,360 --> 00:05:16,089 Would it? 96 00:05:21,640 --> 00:05:23,529 - Good morning.

What on earth are you doing up here this early? 100 00:05:32,920 --> 00:05:36,766 J.R.. don't tell me you haven't heard about the big drop in the price of crude. 101 00:05:36,920 --> 00:05:40,208 Well. Of course I have. Nothing to worry about. 102 00:05:40,360 --> 00:05:43,762 Well. I'm not sure anyone else feels as sanguine about that as you do. 103 00:05:43,920 --> 00:05:46,161 It's only temporary. It'll go up again. 104 00:05:46,320 --> 00:05:49,369 Well. I'm sure it will. But when. J.R.? 105 00:05:49,520 --> 00:05:52,171 I mean. That note of yours is coming due pretty soon... 106 00:05:52,320 --> 00:05:54,641 and what if it drops even further by then? 107 00:05:54,800 --> 00:05:57,406 I'm not gonna have any problem paying off that note. 108 00:05:57,840 --> 00:05:59,444 Well. I'm glad to hear that. 109 00:05:59,600 --> 00:06:03,241 But as near as I can figure it. You just lost about $5 million overnight. 110 00:06:03,400 --> 00:06:06,051 Now. Of course. I have complete confidence in you. J.R... 111 00:06:06,200 --> 00:06:09,329 but some of the other boys are getting a little nervous. 112 00:06:09,480 --> 00:06:13,690 Vaughn. Have you ever known old J.R. not to come up smelling like a rose? 113 00:06:14,680 --> 00:06:17,411 Well. I will say that for you, J.R. 114 00:06:17,560 --> 00:06:20,564 You always land on your feet no matter what's going on around you. 115 00:06:20,720 --> 00:06:22,210 And I will again this time. 116 00:06:22,360 --> 00:06:26,160 You just tell those old boys to relax. That money is safe as can be. 117 00:06:26,480 --> 00:06:30,804 - Well. I'm behind you 100 percent. J.R. - Good. 118 00:06:43,600 --> 00:06:47,605 Ladies. Have a nice day. 119 00:07:19,920 --> 00:07:22,207 Well.

Edward. This is my husband. Ray Krebbs. 123 00:07:29,840 --> 00:07:32,002 - It's a pleasure. Mr. Krebbs. - Mr. Chapman. 124 00:07:32,160 --> 00:07:36,449 Mr. Chapman is an editor with Chapman and Whitnow. 125 00:07:36,800 --> 00:07:39,246 They're gonna publish my book. 126 00:07:41,840 --> 00:07:43,763 Have you read it, Mr. Krebbs? 127 00:07:43,920 --> 00:07:47,686 Nope. She was too nervous to let me see even a single page. 128 00:07:47,840 --> 00:07:49,444 I was sure it was awful. 129 00:07:49,720 --> 00:07:52,769 Oh. You're wrong. It's one of the best biographies I've ever read. 130 00:07:53,080 --> 00:07:55,731 - You're really serious. Aren't you? - Oh. Yes. 131 00:07:55,880 --> 00:07:58,201 Yes. The style is wonderful. 132 00:07:58,360 --> 00:08:02,524 It makes you understand Sam Culver. What he was. What he stood for. 133 00:08:02,680 --> 00:08:05,126 You weren't in politics yourself. Were you? 134 00:08:05,280 --> 00:08:07,282 Only through Sam. 135 00:08:07,440 --> 00:08:08,646 When the book comes out... 136 00:08:08,800 --> 00:08:11,246 you'll have national committees knocking on your door. 137 00:08:11,400 --> 00:08:15,291 Your insight into politics is... Well. It's extraordinary. 138 00:08:15,840 --> 00:08:18,889 - You are embarrassing me. - Well. You shouldn't be. 139 00:08:19,040 --> 00:08:21,520 And you. Mr. Krebbs. Should be very proud of your wife. 140 00:08:21,680 --> 00:08:24,251 If this isn't a national bestseller. I've never seen one. 141 00:08:24,400 --> 00:08:25,925 Well. I am proud of Donna. 142 00:08:26,080 --> 00:08:29,721 Especially since I have a hard time just writing the monthly ranch report. 143 00:08:29,880 --> 00:08:31,848 That isn't true. 144 00:08:32,000 --> 00:08:34,526 Well.

Is there a problem? - Yeah, well, there may be. 155 00:09:08,400 --> 00:09:11,006 Well. Like what? 156 00:09:11,440 --> 00:09:14,091 Well. It has to do with the grading and foundations. 157 00:09:14,240 --> 00:09:17,164 - The foundations? - Yeah, an your development. 158 00:09:17,320 --> 00:09:19,482 I think we ought to talk about it personally. 159 00:09:19,840 --> 00:09:22,730 - Whatever you say. - Okay, how about lunch tomorrow? 160 00:09:22,880 --> 00:09:26,726 - Sure.

I'd have told you. 169 00:10:18,520 --> 00:10:22,002 That's all right. Not that I don't trust you. But I think it's better this way. 170 00:10:22,160 --> 00:10:25,289 - You have copies of the checks? - You got the money? 171 00:10:31,200 --> 00:10:33,441 Took a look at them again. Just like I said... 172 00:10:33,600 --> 00:10:36,703 they all came from some law firm in California, 2000 a month. 173 00:10:36,704 --> 00:10:37,830 They all came from some law firm in California, 2000 a month. 174 00:10:37,984 --> 00:10:42,512 The question is. If this is a trust fund. Who set it up? And why? 175 00:10:42,704 --> 00:10:46,186 I don't know, but if this is a dead end.

Not anymore. 189 00:11:38,144 --> 00:11:40,431 Now. Honey. I told you. I wanna keep him happy. 190 00:11:40,984 --> 00:11:44,431 J.R.. I've done all I'm going to. I can't stand to be near him. 191 00:11:45,464 --> 00:11:47,546 I thought you wanted that recording contract? 192 00:11:47,704 --> 00:11:51,186 No. I do. But not that badly. 193 00:11:51,344 --> 00:11:54,075 Besides. I don't even think there is a recording contract. 194 00:11:55,824 --> 00:11:58,668 I don't want any back talk. I want you on that trip with Vaughn. 195 00:11:59,624 --> 00:12:01,706 No way. Jose. 196 00:12:01,864 --> 00:12:04,265 Afton. No more games, honey. 197 00:12:04,424 --> 00:12:06,995 I've been paying you damn well for what you been doing. 198 00:12:07,144 --> 00:12:09,511 - You're better off with me as a friend. - Let go of me. 199 00:12:09,664 --> 00:12:12,110 I told you. Now. Go home and pack your bags. You hear? 200 00:12:12,264 --> 00:12:13,265 Just let go. 201 00:12:13,904 --> 00:12:16,475 Mitch. Mitch. Please. Just stay out of this. Okay? 202 00:12:16,624 --> 00:12:18,467 I'm warning you. Stay away from my sister. 203 00:12:18,624 --> 00:12:20,194 Stay away from her? 204 00:12:20,344 --> 00:12:23,507 You're gonna have to use a microscope to find her from now on. 205 00:12:23,664 --> 00:12:26,747 You're finished, honey. Last night was your final performance. 206 00:12:26,904 --> 00:12:30,511 There's a million tramps like you around. I'm just gonna have to find another one. 207 00:12:33,944 --> 00:12:35,548 Thanks. 208 00:12:36,144 --> 00:12:39,193 Sometimes it's kind of nice to have a big brother. You know. 209 00:12:40,744 --> 00:12:43,270 Please. I don't wanna talk about it now. Okay? 210 00:12:43,424 --> 00:12:44,914 All right. 211 00:12:47,424 --> 00:12:50,712 But I've been wanting to pop him for some time now. 212 00:12:52,664 --> 00:12:57,875 Well. Why don't I go get my things and you and I will go have dinner together. 213 00:12:58,024 --> 00:13:01,153 There's no reason to wait for Milton to fire me. 214 00:13:01,824 --> 00:13:04,225 Yeah. I'm sorry about your job. 215 00:13:05,624 --> 00:13:07,547 It's all right. 216 00:13:08,024 --> 00:13:12,109 I just realized I've been going the wrong way down a one-way street. 217 00:13:15,624 --> 00:13:18,787 Mr. Leland is here. Send him fight in. 218 00:13:22,184 --> 00:13:24,471 - Oh. Hi. Vaughn. How you doing? - J.R. 219 00:13:24,624 --> 00:13:27,309 This is Heather Wilson. This is Vaughn Leland, a good friend. 220 00:13:27,464 --> 00:13:31,150 - Well. It's my pleasure. - I'm sure it will be. 221 00:13:31,304 --> 00:13:33,545 Heather works for the Bermuda Chamber of Commerce. 222 00:13:34,264 --> 00:13:35,629 Does she. Now? 223 00:13:35,784 --> 00:13:37,866 You know how they're trying to drum up tourism. 224 00:13:38,024 --> 00:13:40,868 They have this personally conducted tour of the island now. 225 00:13:41,024 --> 00:13:43,630 And I'd just love you to be my guest there this weekend. 226 00:13:44,944 --> 00:13:46,673 Personal tour? 227 00:13:47,864 --> 00:13:49,548 Very. 228 00:13:49,864 --> 00:13:52,834 - All expenses paid. Of course. - All expenses? 229 00:13:54,464 --> 00:13:57,946 I thought it might be a good idea if you and Heather had an early lunch... 230 00:13:58,104 --> 00:14:02,473 - and discussed your travel plans. - Well. Yes. I think that'd be a fine idea. 231 00:14:02,624 --> 00:14:05,707 Oh. Darling. Would you mind waiting outside for just one moment? 232 00:14:06,424 --> 00:14:08,347 Of course not. 233 00:14:08,504 --> 00:14:10,188 Thank you. Heather. 234 00:14:12,944 --> 00:14:16,471 - Very pretty young lady. - And a wonderful tour guide. 235 00:14:16,944 --> 00:14:19,993 You know. J.R.. I really appreciate your trying to keep me happy. 236 00:14:21,664 --> 00:14:26,192 However. It has no bearing on the fact that your note is due in 10 days. 237 00:14:26,344 --> 00:14:28,790 And you better be able to pay it. 238 00:14:34,504 --> 00:14:36,666 I'll send you a postcard. 239 00:14:48,344 --> 00:14:49,789 - Ray. - Oh. Neal. 240 00:14:49,944 --> 00:14:51,150 - How are you? - Good. 241 00:14:51,304 --> 00:14:54,194 - Can I get you a drink? - No. I don't think so. 242 00:14:57,544 --> 00:15:03,472 - So. What's the problem? - Well. Primarily it lies in two areas. 243 00:15:03,624 --> 00:15:06,946 Like here in the grading. And it's not gonna be too easy. 244 00:15:07,104 --> 00:15:09,186 I don't see how that could cost that much. 245 00:15:09,344 --> 00:15:12,154 - Yeah. But that's not the big problem. - All right. 246 00:15:12,664 --> 00:15:14,473 It's rather complicated and technical... 247 00:15:14,624 --> 00:15:18,834 but basically it's a question of very soft soil and a high water table. 248 00:15:20,744 --> 00:15:22,826 So. What's the bottom line on this. Neal? 249 00:15:24,824 --> 00:15:26,553 Ray. As you know. Our specifications... 250 00:15:26,704 --> 00:15:29,275 call for standard foundations with basic slab flooring. 251 00:15:29,544 --> 00:15:31,148 - Right. - Okay. 252 00:15:31,304 --> 00:15:33,910 Well. A combination of this water table and soft soil... 253 00:15:34,584 --> 00:15:35,790 it won't support that. 254 00:15:35,944 --> 00:15:38,390 We may have to go down with pilings in every unit... 255 00:15:38,544 --> 00:15:42,026 then a subfloor and a raised floor instead of a slab. 256 00:15:44,344 --> 00:15:46,233 Well. How much is all that gonna cost? 257 00:15:48,384 --> 00:15:51,945 Well. We hadn't worked out the figures exactly... 258 00:15:52,104 --> 00:15:55,472 but. Ray. At least 50 percent more than our previous units. 259 00:16:00,144 --> 00:16:03,307 I don't know if there's enough capital to spend that kind of money. 260 00:16:05,224 --> 00:16:07,113 Well... 261 00:16:07,264 --> 00:16:09,585 then you don't wanna go through with the project? 262 00:16:11,144 --> 00:16:13,909 I'd just like you to hold up for a couple of days. 263 00:16:14,064 --> 00:16:16,908 Okay. That's no problem. I'll just pull her back. 264 00:16:23,144 --> 00:16:27,354 And. Ray. I hope you won't mind what I'm gonna say... 265 00:16:27,504 --> 00:16:30,348 but ordinarily. On a project this large... 266 00:16:30,504 --> 00:16:34,953 the developer has these surveys done long before any money goes into escrow. 267 00:16:35,104 --> 00:16:38,347 Then if there are any problems. They're known beforehand. 268 00:16:38,504 --> 00:16:41,747 Well. You know the old saying about fools rushing in. 269 00:16:42,984 --> 00:16:46,511 Look. Ray. I'm really sorry about this. 270 00:16:46,664 --> 00:16:49,395 Thanks. Neal. I'll be in touch with you. 271 00:17:03,944 --> 00:17:06,345 - Yes, sir? - Any luck on that call to California? 272 00:17:06,504 --> 00:17:09,792 L finally got Mr. Greer': Secretary. She takes long lunches. 273 00:17:09,944 --> 00:17:12,151 It seems Mr. Greer is out of town for a few days. 274 00:17:12,304 --> 00:17:14,432 "She says if he calls in she'll have him ca" us. 275 00:17:14,584 --> 00:17:17,667 - All right. Keep trying. I'll talk to him. - Yes, sir. 276 00:17:34,184 --> 00:17:35,868 - Hi. - Hi. Grandma. I'm back. 277 00:17:36,024 --> 00:17:38,994 - How'd it go? - It went pretty good. I guess. 278 00:17:39,144 --> 00:17:40,908 It's not as much fun as it used to be. 279 00:17:41,064 --> 00:17:44,193 - Hey. Did Mitch call when I was gone? - I'm sorry. Lucy. He didn't. 280 00:17:44,344 --> 00:17:46,995 Well. That's all right. I was just kind of hoping he would. 281 00:17:47,744 --> 00:17:50,554 - Any mail for me? - No. Mostly bills. 282 00:17:50,704 --> 00:17:52,627 What's this big one? 283 00:17:53,584 --> 00:17:58,033 - It's from Jock. - From Granddaddy. 284 00:17:58,824 --> 00:18:01,191 I wonder what he has to say. 285 00:18:06,704 --> 00:18:08,468 Is he all right? 286 00:18:10,944 --> 00:18:12,912 Oh. My Lord. 287 00:18:15,904 --> 00:18:17,668 There you go. Mama. 288 00:18:18,664 --> 00:18:21,554 I don't see why we have to wait for J.R. 289 00:18:21,704 --> 00:18:25,390 Because your granddaddy wanted this done in front of the whole family. 290 00:18:25,544 --> 00:18:28,832 You're being mighty mysterious about this. Mama. 291 00:18:28,984 --> 00:18:30,873 - Well. Good evening. - Hello. J.R. 292 00:18:31,024 --> 00:18:33,550 We've been waiting for you. J.R. 293 00:18:33,704 --> 00:18:35,945 - Something special? - Yes. I... 294 00:18:36,104 --> 00:18:37,947 I got a letter from your daddy. 295 00:18:38,664 --> 00:18:40,746 - Anything important? - Well... 296 00:18:40,904 --> 00:18:44,272 why don't you fix yourself a drink and I'll read it. 297 00:18:45,544 --> 00:18:48,115 - Hurry up. J.R. - Lucy. I've had a long. Difficult day. 298 00:18:48,264 --> 00:18:49,470 Don't start with me. 299 00:18:49,624 --> 00:18:53,515 All right. As I said. This came from Jock today. 300 00:18:53,664 --> 00:18:56,986 A lot of it's personal. So I'll skip over that. 301 00:18:57,344 --> 00:18:58,675 Now. Let me see. 302 00:19:02,504 --> 00:19:04,905 �L don't know how much longer I'll be here... 303 00:19:05,064 --> 00:19:08,989 and as you have been aware of lately. The phone service between us is terrible. 304 00:19:09,144 --> 00:19:13,388 There are areas I've been into where no contact at all is possible. 305 00:19:13,984 --> 00:19:15,509 I know that while I'm down here... 306 00:19:15,664 --> 00:19:17,951 the business has to keep running without me. 307 00:19:18,104 --> 00:19:20,311 While I have the utmost faith in J.R.'s ability... 308 00:19:20,464 --> 00:19:23,946 to keep Ewing Oil on firm ground in my absence... 309 00:19:24,104 --> 00:19:26,152 I also realize that at times he takes... 310 00:19:26,304 --> 00:19:28,910 a somewhat headstrong approach to business. 311 00:19:32,504 --> 00:19:35,110 In your defense, J.R.. I felt the same way about Bobby... 312 00:19:35,264 --> 00:19:37,153 when he was running the company. 313 00:19:39,624 --> 00:19:42,867 So knowing that you could not always reach me when necessary... 314 00:19:43,024 --> 00:19:46,665 I've had a legal document drawn. It accompanies this letter. 315 00:19:46,824 --> 00:19:50,510 More than anything I could write here. It will explain what I think is necessary... 316 00:19:50,664 --> 00:19:53,429 for Ewing Oil in my absence. 317 00:19:53,584 --> 00:19:55,154 I miss you very much... 318 00:19:55,744 --> 00:19:58,554 and look forward to our being together in the near future. 319 00:19:59,624 --> 00:20:01,228 I love you all.� 320 00:20:09,104 --> 00:20:13,314 �In order that Ewing Oil should continue to operate without my presence... 321 00:20:13,704 --> 00:20:15,468 and while still keeping ownership... 322 00:20:15,624 --> 00:20:19,515 of the 100 shares of Ewing stock that comprise the entire issue... 323 00:20:19,664 --> 00:20:22,065 I hereby designate 100 voting shares... 324 00:20:22,224 --> 00:20:25,228 and the management of the aforesaid Ewing Oil Company... 325 00:20:25,384 --> 00:20:27,386 in the following manner: 326 00:20:27,544 --> 00:20:31,310 To Eleanor Southworth Ewing. 30 voting shares. 327 00:20:32,264 --> 00:20:34,505 To John Ross Ewing ll... 328 00:20:36,344 --> 00:20:38,392 twenty voting shares. 329 00:20:39,224 --> 00:20:44,105 To Bobby James Ewing. 20 voting shares. 330 00:20:45,904 --> 00:20:50,831 To Garrison Arthur Ewing. 10 voting shares. 331 00:20:51,984 --> 00:20:56,194 To Ray Krebbs Ewing. 10 voting shares. 332 00:20:59,224 --> 00:21:03,786 To John Ross Ewing Ill. A minor. 10 voting shares. 333 00:21:03,944 --> 00:21:06,550 If he is once again living at Southfork with his father... 334 00:21:06,704 --> 00:21:09,628 then J.R. Ewing will control his voting shares. 335 00:21:09,784 --> 00:21:14,073 If not. Then Eleanor Southworth Ewing shall control them. 336 00:21:14,224 --> 00:21:17,387 Witnessed to and attested to... � And so on. 337 00:21:18,104 --> 00:21:19,629 Grandma. I don't understand. 338 00:21:19,784 --> 00:21:23,584 If Granddaddy still owns the company. Then what good are those voting shares? 339 00:21:24,544 --> 00:21:27,468 Well. When there was a big decision to make about Ewing Oil... 340 00:21:27,624 --> 00:21:29,433 J.R. used to consult Jock. 341 00:21:29,584 --> 00:21:33,111 Now the people who have voting shares can approve or disapprove. 342 00:21:33,264 --> 00:21:36,427 Or say that enough of the people who had the voting shares... 343 00:21:36,584 --> 00:21:38,393 didn't like the management... 344 00:21:38,544 --> 00:21:40,990 It's nothing personal. J.R. 345 00:21:41,144 --> 00:21:44,307 they could all get together. Vote in a new president. 346 00:21:44,744 --> 00:21:46,234 Or audit the books. 347 00:21:46,384 --> 00:21:49,752 In essence. Who controls 50 or more voting shares controls the company. 348 00:21:52,064 --> 00:21:53,395 Well. Here's to Daddy. 349 00:21:55,104 --> 00:21:57,755 For looking out for the welfare of Ewing Oil. 350 00:22:20,584 --> 00:22:23,428 - Good morning. - Good morning. 351 00:22:25,104 --> 00:22:28,028 - Or is it? - Well. I'm not sure. 352 00:22:28,184 --> 00:22:31,313 I don't think I fell asleep until the sun came up. 353 00:22:31,464 --> 00:22:34,035 That was quite a night. 354 00:22:36,464 --> 00:22:40,105 Did...? Did you talk to J.R. after we left? 355 00:22:40,264 --> 00:22:41,584 No. I think it was quite a shock to him. 356 00:22:41,585 --> 00:22:44,304 No. I think it was quite a shock to him. 357 00:22:44,453 --> 00:22:46,182 And to me. 358 00:22:46,333 --> 00:22:48,734 I'm not sure that Jock did the right thing. 359 00:22:49,293 --> 00:22:53,218 Giving you the largest share of the votes. Especially with John Ross gone? 360 00:22:54,253 --> 00:22:59,054 Well. He did put a lot of pressure on me. In a sense. I'm controlling Ewing Oil. 361 00:22:59,213 --> 00:23:01,693 And you know I always stay away from the business. 362 00:23:02,693 --> 00:23:06,254 Not only that. He's opened the doors to a lot of rivalry between the boys. 363 00:23:07,773 --> 00:23:11,061 Well. Maybe not. I mean. Certainly Ray isn't interested in the company. 364 00:23:12,653 --> 00:23:13,939 How did he feel about it? 365 00:23:15,413 --> 00:23:17,893 He was very proud that Jock thought enough of him... 366 00:23:18,053 --> 00:23:19,976 to give him the voting shares. 367 00:23:20,133 --> 00:23:23,854 But I think he would just as soon be out of it entirely. 368 00:23:24,413 --> 00:23:25,938 Did you talk to Gary yet? 369 00:23:26,773 --> 00:23:31,700 No. I know I have to. But I've been putting it off. 370 00:23:33,373 --> 00:23:36,616 I'm just not sure how he'll react to it. 371 00:23:36,773 --> 00:23:39,094 Gary's always avoided pressures. 372 00:23:39,613 --> 00:23:42,696 Miss Ellie. Maybe all of this is just a tempest in a teapot... 373 00:23:42,853 --> 00:23:45,140 and nothing's going to happen while Jock's away. 374 00:23:47,293 --> 00:23:49,455 I'd like to think that's true... 375 00:23:49,613 --> 00:23:52,298 but from the way J.R. reacted. I... 376 00:23:52,453 --> 00:23:54,182 I just don't know. 377 00:23:56,533 --> 00:23:57,978 Look. I tell you what. 378 00:23:58,133 --> 00:24:01,774 Why don't we just put all this behind us and go shopping? 379 00:24:03,893 --> 00:24:07,500 Well. That's certainly better than just sitting here and worrying. 380 00:24:07,853 --> 00:24:11,255 But I guess I better call Gary first. 381 00:24:13,853 --> 00:24:15,503 I'll wait. 382 00:24:22,493 --> 00:24:25,940 As you can see, the company is in excellent financial condition. 383 00:24:26,093 --> 00:24:30,257 While our cash position is not quite as fluid as it might be... 384 00:24:30,413 --> 00:24:32,859 due to the moneys expended on oil storage tanks... 385 00:24:33,413 --> 00:24:35,222 I can't foresee any problems. 386 00:24:35,373 --> 00:24:38,343 Especially when we have no major loans outstanding. 387 00:24:39,173 --> 00:24:41,574 Never can tell when somebody might wanna audit these. 388 00:24:41,733 --> 00:24:44,179 - I want them kept nice and tidy. - Yes. Sir. 389 00:24:44,333 --> 00:24:48,224 Although the recent sharp drop in oil prices hasn't caused any damage yet... 390 00:24:48,853 --> 00:24:51,584 it will result in a depreciated profit picture... 391 00:24:51,733 --> 00:24:53,940 and a further restriction in cash flow. 392 00:24:54,093 --> 00:24:57,097 We were fortunate our crude production was based on July rates. 393 00:24:57,253 --> 00:24:58,903 Yeah. We were lucky there. All right. 394 00:24:59,053 --> 00:25:01,818 Well. Actually. Foresight on your part. Mr. Ewing. 395 00:25:02,253 --> 00:25:04,620 I know many major producers have been storing crude... 396 00:25:04,773 --> 00:25:06,263 in hopes of a price hike. 397 00:25:06,413 --> 00:25:08,541 Instead it's dropped almost $3 a barrel. 398 00:25:09,293 --> 00:25:13,537 - It'll go up. Always has. - Yes. Sir. If that's all...? 399 00:25:13,693 --> 00:25:17,698 - Have you had a vacation recently? - Next month. Mr. Ewing. 400 00:25:17,853 --> 00:25:20,663 Haskell. You've done an outstanding job for us this year. 401 00:25:20,813 --> 00:25:22,941 I'd like you to take a couple of extra weeks off. 402 00:25:23,093 --> 00:25:24,822 Kind of a little bonus from Ewing Oil. 403 00:25:24,973 --> 00:25:27,783 Matter of fact. Why don't you leave on Monday? 404 00:25:27,933 --> 00:25:29,173 Thank you. I'll do that. 405 00:25:29,333 --> 00:25:31,859 You can leave that. I still have a few things to go over. 406 00:25:32,013 --> 00:25:34,380 I'll have it delivered to you after the weekend, okay? 407 00:25:34,533 --> 00:25:36,774 - Whatever you say. Sir. - All right. 408 00:25:40,933 --> 00:25:42,423 - Sly. - Yes, sir? 409 00:25:42,573 --> 00:25:44,257 Do you have any cartons out there? 410 00:25:44,413 --> 00:25:46,381 I have some stuff I wanna put in storage. 411 00:25:46,533 --> 00:25:48,217 I'll get one. 412 00:25:54,413 --> 00:25:56,177 Yeah. Mama. I will. 413 00:25:56,333 --> 00:25:58,779 Okay. You take care. I'll see you soon. 414 00:25:58,933 --> 00:26:01,015 All right. Bye-bye. 415 00:26:04,493 --> 00:26:06,655 I guess you got the drift of all that. 416 00:26:08,173 --> 00:26:10,904 I don't see why your daddy wants to involve you in Ewing Oil. 417 00:26:11,053 --> 00:26:13,863 Honey. I'm not involved. It's just 10 voting shares. 418 00:26:14,013 --> 00:26:16,778 - J.R. know about it? - Yeah. I guess he does. Why? 419 00:26:16,933 --> 00:26:19,903 He's not gonna be happy about you having any say in Ewing Oil. 420 00:26:20,053 --> 00:26:22,897 Valene. I don't care about J.R. 421 00:26:23,813 --> 00:26:29,263 Look. Mama sounded kind of upset. I think I ought to go back to Southfork. 422 00:26:32,013 --> 00:26:34,903 Gary. You know what happens every time you go back there. 423 00:26:36,013 --> 00:26:38,937 Honey. We went back for Lucy's wedding and everything was fine. 424 00:26:40,853 --> 00:26:42,617 I know. 425 00:26:43,613 --> 00:26:44,853 I just get that... 426 00:26:45,013 --> 00:26:47,539 That funny feeling every time you're around your family. 427 00:26:48,293 --> 00:26:49,624 Look... 428 00:26:50,013 --> 00:26:52,334 I can handle Southfork if I have to. 429 00:27:06,773 --> 00:27:08,013 Yes? 430 00:27:08,173 --> 00:27:11,461 There's a Miss Afton Cooper here to see you. 431 00:27:12,533 --> 00:27:15,184 - Send her in. - Yes, sir. 432 00:27:27,853 --> 00:27:29,503 Well. This is a surprise. 433 00:27:30,893 --> 00:27:34,420 Yeah. I suppose. I didn't know if you'd answer a phone call from me. 434 00:27:34,573 --> 00:27:36,177 Oh. Yes. 435 00:27:37,533 --> 00:27:39,058 Thanks. 436 00:27:40,653 --> 00:27:42,462 I did read the financial page. 437 00:27:42,653 --> 00:27:45,259 You're now president of Wentworth Tool and Die. 438 00:27:45,413 --> 00:27:46,903 Not bad for a loser. Huh? 439 00:27:48,293 --> 00:27:50,534 I guess I deserve that. 440 00:27:50,693 --> 00:27:52,661 But maybe we can do each other some good. 441 00:27:53,933 --> 00:27:55,617 I'm doing pretty well on my own. 442 00:27:56,933 --> 00:27:59,254 What if I could help you get J.R. Ewing? 443 00:28:00,533 --> 00:28:02,581 Why would you wanna do something like that? 444 00:28:03,693 --> 00:28:05,138 I have my reasons. 445 00:28:08,093 --> 00:28:09,857 Let's talk. 446 00:28:13,173 --> 00:28:16,256 Why don't we go have a drink. I think we can talk better there. 447 00:28:17,693 --> 00:28:19,536 You think my office is bugged? 448 00:28:20,413 --> 00:28:21,653 I don't know. Is it? 449 00:28:23,693 --> 00:28:26,264 Okay. Marie, I'm gonna go out. 450 00:28:26,413 --> 00:28:29,815 - I'll be back in a couple hours. - Yes, sir. 451 00:28:48,613 --> 00:28:52,663 You know, it's funny. All my life, I thought I knew myself, but I didn't. 452 00:28:52,813 --> 00:28:54,577 Oh. Honey. You were doing just fine... 453 00:28:54,733 --> 00:28:57,464 till you found out there was a problem having children. 454 00:28:57,613 --> 00:29:01,220 No. I wasn't. Bobby. Not really. I kept all my feelings bottled up inside. 455 00:29:01,373 --> 00:29:03,341 Might never have come out. 456 00:29:03,493 --> 00:29:07,703 Well. Looks like you and Dr. Conrad are making some progress, huh? 457 00:29:07,853 --> 00:29:09,457 I really feel good. 458 00:29:09,613 --> 00:29:11,695 Maybe it's time I thought about leaving here. 459 00:29:11,853 --> 00:29:13,935 Coming back to Southfork. Back to The Store. 460 00:29:14,093 --> 00:29:16,494 Did I tell you Liz and Jackie came to see me yesterday? 461 00:29:16,653 --> 00:29:18,701 Did they? Well. Now. That was nice. Wasn't it? 462 00:29:18,853 --> 00:29:21,857 Yeah. They filled me in on the new line. What's selling. What isn't. 463 00:29:22,013 --> 00:29:24,698 For the first time. I really missed my job. 464 00:29:24,853 --> 00:29:29,063 Well. Pam. What does Dr. Conrad think about you leaving here so soon? 465 00:29:29,213 --> 00:29:32,057 You know how doctors are. She doesn't think I should rush things. 466 00:29:32,213 --> 00:29:34,261 She says we still have a long way to go. 467 00:29:34,413 --> 00:29:37,257 Well. She's right. You know. You don't have to rush it. 468 00:29:37,413 --> 00:29:39,097 Everything's fine at home. 469 00:29:39,253 --> 00:29:42,018 You have your job whenever you want it... 470 00:29:42,173 --> 00:29:44,744 so maybe you should just slow down. Take it easy. 471 00:29:44,893 --> 00:29:46,418 Maybe. 472 00:29:48,533 --> 00:29:52,458 Bobby. Have you heard anything from the adoption agencies? 473 00:29:53,613 --> 00:29:56,537 Well. I keep in touch with them... 474 00:29:56,693 --> 00:30:00,095 and I haven't heard anything yet. But it shouldn't be too long now. 475 00:30:00,253 --> 00:30:04,178 I know. I mean. It can't be much longer. 476 00:30:05,213 --> 00:30:07,944 Bobby. Do you care whether it's a little boy or a little girl? 477 00:30:08,813 --> 00:30:12,499 Well. Of course not. Whatever it is. It's gonna be ours. Isn't it? 478 00:30:13,213 --> 00:30:15,580 I've been thinking of names. 479 00:30:16,613 --> 00:30:18,900 Bobby James Ewing ll. 480 00:30:19,053 --> 00:30:20,498 Pamela Jean Ewing. 481 00:30:20,973 --> 00:30:22,179 Maybe Rebecca. 482 00:30:25,613 --> 00:30:26,819 I love you. Honey. 483 00:30:27,853 --> 00:30:29,059 Well. I love you. Bobby. 484 00:30:38,573 --> 00:30:40,814 Come in. Mr. Krebbs. 485 00:30:40,973 --> 00:30:44,102 - Have a seat. - Thank you very much. 486 00:30:45,333 --> 00:30:47,017 What can I do for you? 487 00:30:47,173 --> 00:30:49,460 How's the San Antonio venture coming along? 488 00:30:49,613 --> 00:30:51,422 Well. It's coming along just fine. 489 00:30:51,573 --> 00:30:53,974 Although we've run into some unexpected problems. 490 00:30:54,133 --> 00:30:55,339 Oh. Really? 491 00:30:55,493 --> 00:30:57,416 Yes. Sir. It's nothing we can't handle... 492 00:30:57,573 --> 00:31:00,816 but I'm gonna need to finance about now. 493 00:31:00,973 --> 00:31:03,294 How much are you talking about? 494 00:31:03,453 --> 00:31:07,060 - I think 3 million would handle it. - I see. 495 00:31:10,493 --> 00:31:14,054 Well. You and Mrs. Krebbs have more than enough to cover that. 496 00:31:14,213 --> 00:31:16,375 Would you want to use that as collateral? 497 00:31:16,893 --> 00:31:18,895 I'd just as soon borrow on my own. 498 00:31:20,213 --> 00:31:22,784 You realize. With today's interest rates... 499 00:31:22,933 --> 00:31:26,335 our loan committee is very careful with unsecured loans. 500 00:31:26,493 --> 00:31:31,181 Or is there some other collateral you wish to put up? Stocks? Bonds? 501 00:31:31,733 --> 00:31:35,180 Well. I guess this would have to be on my name. 502 00:31:35,333 --> 00:31:37,620 I've done pretty well on my other two ventures. 503 00:31:37,773 --> 00:31:41,459 Yes. You have. And that. Of course. Will be in your favor. 504 00:31:41,613 --> 00:31:45,140 I wouldn't need the loan for long. It'd just be to get over this rocky part. 505 00:31:45,293 --> 00:31:47,022 Of course. 506 00:31:47,173 --> 00:31:52,339 Well. Your financial statement is on file. Our loan committee meets on Thursday. 507 00:31:52,493 --> 00:31:54,222 I'll get back to you. 508 00:31:54,373 --> 00:31:57,456 - Well. I really appreciate that. - I'll let you know their decision. 509 00:31:57,613 --> 00:31:59,297 Thank you very much. 510 00:32:06,173 --> 00:32:07,777 Thank you. 511 00:32:08,493 --> 00:32:11,224 Okay. There's your drink. No one can hear what we're saying. 512 00:32:11,373 --> 00:32:14,217 You were telling me about J.R. Ewing. 513 00:32:14,373 --> 00:32:16,421 Do you know a man named Vaughn Leland? 514 00:32:16,973 --> 00:32:20,500 I know that J.R. broke him during that Asian oil swindle. 515 00:32:20,653 --> 00:32:22,496 He may have been broke once... 516 00:32:22,653 --> 00:32:24,781 but he's now head of a bank in Houston. 517 00:32:24,933 --> 00:32:26,503 Okay. - 518 00:32:27,053 --> 00:32:28,657 What about him? 519 00:32:28,813 --> 00:32:31,259 He just loaned J.R. $100 million. 520 00:32:32,773 --> 00:32:36,778 - No. No. He didn't. He hates J.R. - Well. He did. 521 00:32:36,933 --> 00:32:40,494 And there are some other bankers that loaned him another 100 million. 522 00:32:40,933 --> 00:32:42,617 Oh. That can't be. 523 00:32:42,773 --> 00:32:45,697 I know the Ewing Oil financial position too well. 524 00:32:45,853 --> 00:32:48,857 They're solid. They don't need any loans. 525 00:32:49,013 --> 00:32:52,381 Cliff. This has nothing to do with Ewing Oil. 526 00:32:52,973 --> 00:32:56,056 It's something J.R. has done on his own. 527 00:32:56,213 --> 00:33:00,821 Vaughn said J.R. bought millions of barrels of oil and he's storing it. 528 00:33:01,333 --> 00:33:03,813 Only now the prices are going down. 529 00:33:04,093 --> 00:33:05,936 You're saying J.R.'s in trouble? 530 00:33:07,253 --> 00:33:08,743 That's what Vaughn said. 531 00:33:10,173 --> 00:33:11,937 How do you know all this? 532 00:33:14,213 --> 00:33:18,104 J.R. asked me to meet Vaughn. Be nice to him. 533 00:33:18,253 --> 00:33:21,223 He said he wanted to keep Vaughn really happy. 534 00:33:21,693 --> 00:33:24,902 - Which you did? - No. I didn't. 535 00:33:25,133 --> 00:33:27,215 I can't stand him. 536 00:33:27,533 --> 00:33:30,423 I thought I could do a lot of things. But I couldn't do that. 537 00:33:31,413 --> 00:33:34,781 Vaughn just told you this. Then? Why? 538 00:33:36,133 --> 00:33:39,216 He doesn't like J.R. any more than you do. 539 00:33:40,333 --> 00:33:43,223 And he talks a lot when he drinks. 540 00:33:44,173 --> 00:33:47,063 He said he wanted J.R. to default on the loans. 541 00:33:47,333 --> 00:33:50,655 - He told you that? - Well.
