I'll move in for the kill. 5 00:00:13,571 --> 00:00:15,653 And between us. We'll buy ourselves a refinery. 6 00:00:15,906 --> 00:00:18,386 - What are you saying? - Ewing Oil isn't worth the lives... 7 00:00:18,659 --> 00:00:20,468 of half a dozen people. 8 00:00:21,245 --> 00:00:24,454 Why don't we take Christopher and move away?

J.R. 89 00:07:19,865 --> 00:07:23,870 J.R.. is it true that the OLM has granted you a variance on oil production? 90 00:07:26,204 --> 00:07:30,209 I hear you're pumping to capacity. 91 00:07:30,625 --> 00:07:33,469 - Yes. Ma'am. That's right. - But why? 92 00:07:33,795 --> 00:07:36,196 Everybody knows there's too much oil around as it is. 93 00:07:38,049 --> 00:07:40,416 Well. Mama. I got a plan. 94 00:07:40,677 --> 00:07:42,805 The variance and the pumping is just part of it. 95 00:07:43,054 --> 00:07:47,104 If you don't mind. I'd like to wait until all the pieces fall into place before we talk. 96 00:07:47,642 --> 00:07:50,851 Some people may not be willing to hold still until you're ready to talk. 97 00:07:51,145 --> 00:07:53,671 A lot of oilmen are up in arms over what you're doing. 98 00:07:55,608 --> 00:07:57,531 Is that Miss Ellie I hear talking... 99 00:07:57,777 --> 00:07:58,858 or Frank Crutcher? 100 00:08:00,655 --> 00:08:03,625 Well. Whatever Frank and I talk about. It's not that. 101 00:08:03,908 --> 00:08:05,592 Why did you bring him into it? 102 00:08:07,912 --> 00:08:10,643 Well. I guess I just might as well come out and say it. 103 00:08:10,915 --> 00:08:14,636 Isn't it a little soon after Daddy's death for you to be seeing another man? 104 00:08:15,961 --> 00:08:19,522 Yes. It certainly is too soon to be seeing anyone seriously. 105 00:08:19,840 --> 00:08:22,446 And it would be impossible for me to do that. 106 00:08:22,718 --> 00:08:26,006 But. J.R.. that doesn't mean I'm gonna live like a hermit. 107 00:08:26,305 --> 00:08:28,546 All right. We'll talk about it later after dinner. 108 00:08:29,016 --> 00:08:30,347 There's nothing to talk about. 109 00:08:58,587 --> 00:08:59,998 Hi. 110 00:09:02,007 --> 00:09:03,771 Good morning.

Last night was kind of interesting. 114 00:09:15,061 --> 00:09:19,942 - Do you know a guy named Gil Thurman? - I know who he is. Yeah. Why? 115 00:09:22,360 --> 00:09:26,445 Well. He came by last night and we talked for a while. 116 00:09:26,781 --> 00:09:28,704 - Is he important? - Well... 117 00:09:28,950 --> 00:09:32,272 he thinks he's more important than he is, but he's in there. 118 00:09:33,371 --> 00:09:37,057 Well. He was just bragging to me about how J.R. wants to buy his refinery. 119 00:09:38,793 --> 00:09:42,320 Yeah. I'll bet J.R. does wanna buy his refinery. He needs a refinery... 120 00:09:42,630 --> 00:09:45,281 because he's up to his gills in crude right now. 121 00:09:46,759 --> 00:09:49,410 Would you like to meet him? He'll be at the club tonight. 122 00:09:49,762 --> 00:09:51,764 Yeah. I'll come over. 123 00:09:52,515 --> 00:09:53,516 Good. 124 00:10:02,274 --> 00:10:04,845 Russell. You're the best broker in the business. 125 00:10:05,110 --> 00:10:07,954 Are you telling me there's not one single refinery for sale? 126 00:10:08,238 --> 00:10:10,889 I've already told you the rumor about Gil Thurman's... 127 00:10:11,158 --> 00:10:13,968 outside of that. Not in Texas there isn't. 128 00:10:14,244 --> 00:10:17,088 Matter of fact. Not in the whole Southwest. But if you like... 129 00:10:17,372 --> 00:10:20,137 I could always make some inquiries about. Say. Pennsylvania. 130 00:10:20,584 --> 00:10:21,995 Pennsylvania? 131 00:10:22,211 --> 00:10:25,420 No. No. What I have in mind couldn't absorb the shipping costs. 132 00:10:25,714 --> 00:10:27,159 Well. That's the story. 133 00:10:27,382 --> 00:10:31,148 As a matter of fact, the last refinery sale I remember was to Harwood Oil. 134 00:10:31,470 --> 00:10:33,518 - You know the company? - Harwood? 135 00:10:33,764 --> 00:10:35,334 Yeah. Yeah. I think I do. 136 00:10:35,557 --> 00:10:37,082 What other thoughts you got? 137 00:10:37,309 --> 00:10:41,473 You're already on the tracks of the only one in the state. Keep after him. 138 00:10:42,772 --> 00:10:43,773 - Sly? - Yes. 139 00:10:43,982 --> 00:10:46,633 - Get Gil Thurman on the phone for me. - Yes, sir. 140 00:10:46,901 --> 00:10:48,869 Well. Keep trying. I need that refinery. 141 00:10:49,112 --> 00:10:52,002 I need it now. If Thurman falls through. I don't have any backup. 142 00:10:52,282 --> 00:10:55,570 Of course I'll keep trying. But I don't think there's gonna be anything... 143 00:10:55,869 --> 00:10:57,200 on the market for months. 144 00:10:57,412 --> 00:11:00,780 I hope you can convince Thurman. I think it's your only shot. 145 00:11:01,082 --> 00:11:03,084 - See you. - Thanks. 146 00:11:03,334 --> 00:11:05,143 - Yeah? - Mr.Thurman on line one. 147 00:11:05,378 --> 00:11:06,948 Okay.

She's looking forward to meeting you. 164 00:12:07,230 --> 00:12:10,393 - How about 7:00? - Make it 7:30. 165 00:12:11,735 --> 00:12:13,863 Okay. Fine. 7:30 is just wonderful. 166 00:12:14,112 --> 00:12:16,399 The address is 56 Fair Oaks Road. 167 00:12:17,616 --> 00:12:21,826 - Bye-bye. - Nice talking to you. Bye. 168 00:12:28,251 --> 00:12:30,857 This fella. Every time they'd bring a steer in the arena... 169 00:12:31,129 --> 00:12:34,133 he wound up owning it. Finally. Matthew. That's the auctioneer... 170 00:12:34,424 --> 00:12:37,428 he just stopped the whole auction and asked him some questions. 171 00:12:37,719 --> 00:12:41,405 Found out he'd never been to an auction before. But he knew everybody there... 172 00:12:41,723 --> 00:12:45,933 and every time he waved to somebody he wound up owning another steer. 173 00:12:46,269 --> 00:12:48,112 - That's funny. - Lf he'd have kept going... 174 00:12:48,354 --> 00:12:50,322 he'd have restocked the whole King Ranch. 175 00:12:50,565 --> 00:12:53,045 - Well. What happened? - They just stopped the auction... 176 00:12:53,317 --> 00:12:55,365 and started it over again. 177 00:12:56,988 --> 00:12:59,514 Oh. Frank. This has been wonderful. 178 00:12:59,782 --> 00:13:02,183 Thank you. Ellie.

Mr. Crutcher. 181 00:13:08,666 --> 00:13:14,070 As a matter of fact, it's sort of a farewell lunch for a little while. 182 00:13:15,464 --> 00:13:17,353 I've got to go back East. 183 00:13:17,591 --> 00:13:20,197 - Is everything all right? - Oh. Yes. 184 00:13:20,469 --> 00:13:23,871 It's just business, but it's highly complicated. It's gonna take a while. 185 00:13:25,933 --> 00:13:30,222 Well. Maybe it's all for the best. 186 00:13:30,562 --> 00:13:34,044 My boys seem to feel I've been rushing things. 187 00:13:36,026 --> 00:13:39,314 Because your boys don't understand the relationship. 188 00:13:39,780 --> 00:13:41,464 As a matter of fact... 189 00:13:45,285 --> 00:13:46,696 What? 190 00:13:47,245 --> 00:13:51,170 Well. I... I'm just trying to think how to put it. 191 00:13:52,751 --> 00:13:54,037 Well. Go on. What? 192 00:13:55,754 --> 00:13:59,156 Well. I was thinking how nice it would be if for any reason at all... 193 00:13:59,466 --> 00:14:02,117 you had to come back to New York while I was there. 194 00:14:02,886 --> 00:14:05,776 We got plenty of good shows... 195 00:14:06,347 --> 00:14:09,556 plenty of good restaurants. And plenty of good conversation. 196 00:14:12,645 --> 00:14:16,775 Oh. Frank. I couldn't go to New York with you. 197 00:14:18,735 --> 00:14:20,180 I didn't mean it that way. 198 00:14:24,407 --> 00:14:26,296 Frank. I... 199 00:14:26,659 --> 00:14:29,310 I hope you don't think I've been rushing things. 200 00:14:29,579 --> 00:14:32,708 I mean. We've had lunch twice in the past few days... 201 00:14:32,999 --> 00:14:35,684 and I've really enjoyed it. But it's not more than that. 202 00:14:36,460 --> 00:14:39,623 - I wouldn't want you to think it was. - And I never did. 203 00:14:40,548 --> 00:14:46,237 It's... It's been difficult for me to even go out for lunch with another man. 204 00:14:49,181 --> 00:14:50,706 I can understand that. 205 00:15:04,905 --> 00:15:08,307 - Bobby, I have your Canadian ca}! Now. - Thank you. 206 00:15:08,909 --> 00:15:10,320 Thornton. Bobby here. 207 00:15:10,535 --> 00:15:13,345 - Bobby, haw are you? - Just fine. How was your flight back? 208 00:15:13,997 --> 00:15:17,718 The weather was rough but we managed to land before the airport got sucked in. 209 00:15:18,043 --> 00:15:19,454 Well. That's why I'm calling. 210 00:15:19,669 --> 00:15:23,116 That cold spell you're having is not helping us get work started. Is it? 211 00:15:23,423 --> 00:15:26,108 Afraid not. The terrain is frozen. 212 00:15:26,384 --> 00:15:29,706 Already had some delays in shipping the rigs and trouble with housing. 213 00:15:30,013 --> 00:15:32,903 But these cold-weather snags are nothing new. We're used to them. 214 00:15:33,224 --> 00:15:35,386 - What's the weather forecast? - Nut good. 215 00:15:35,643 --> 00:15:38,408 We'll be able to start drilling in the next couple of months... 216 00:15:38,688 --> 00:15:41,259 wand the oil will still be in the ground waiting for us. 217 00:15:41,524 --> 00:15:45,529 - That's not what worries me. - I know. It's the time factor. 218 00:15:45,862 --> 00:15:47,307 Le! Me put I! To you this way. 219 00:15:47,697 --> 00:15:50,223 If we don't bring those wells in within a year... 220 00:15:50,491 --> 00:15:52,812 you just might be doing business with my brother. 221 00:15:53,536 --> 00:15:55,459 Thanks. But no thanks. 222 00:15:55,705 --> 00:15:57,434 With no disrespect meant. Bobby... 223 00:15:57,665 --> 00:16:00,874 J.R.'s fame has preceded him all the way to Toronto. 224 00:16:01,169 --> 00:16:04,730 We'd prefer to keep you in the picture. And we'll make every effort. 225 00:16:05,047 --> 00:16:09,097 Thanks. I need all the help I can get right now. You stay well. 226 00:16:19,687 --> 00:16:21,928 Well. Now. Cliff. What's the urgency? 227 00:16:22,189 --> 00:16:25,352 I've just found out that J.R. has put a bid in on a refinery. 228 00:16:25,651 --> 00:16:28,461 I wanna up that price and beat him to it. 229 00:16:28,737 --> 00:16:31,263 And I wanted to find out how you three felt about that. 230 00:16:31,532 --> 00:16:34,297 What's the story on the refinery? What capacity. What price? 231 00:16:34,576 --> 00:16:37,261 I have no details. I'm gonna find out more about it tonight. 232 00:16:37,538 --> 00:16:39,984 I just wanted to see if you three had any interest. 233 00:16:40,249 --> 00:16:43,412 I don't know. Cliff. Most refineries have cut back. 234 00:16:43,919 --> 00:16:45,762 Maybe your timing's a little off. 235 00:16:46,546 --> 00:16:49,948 Gentlemen. The oil business will turn around. It always does. 236 00:16:50,258 --> 00:16:54,661 Yeah. But should we pursue this just because Cliff wants to stick it to J.R.? 237 00:16:55,013 --> 00:16:56,856 Now. Hang on. Andy. 238 00:16:57,099 --> 00:17:00,501 Sure. Nothing would give me more pleasure than to kick J.R.'s butt... 239 00:17:00,810 --> 00:17:04,860 but that's not the only interest I have in spending this kind of money. 240 00:17:05,190 --> 00:17:08,512 Refineries are a solid investment. They don't come on the market often... 241 00:17:08,818 --> 00:17:11,867 and if we can get this and the price is right... 242 00:17:12,155 --> 00:17:14,078 we'd be crazy not to take it. 243 00:17:15,784 --> 00:17:18,435 I think we should pursue it. But we need more facts. 244 00:17:18,703 --> 00:17:20,751 All right. Bring us the deal. Cliff. 245 00:17:21,164 --> 00:17:23,485 We're all open-minded around here. Aren't we. Folks? 246 00:17:23,750 --> 00:17:25,400 Sure we are. 247 00:17:25,627 --> 00:17:28,312 Anyway. To look doesn't cost a thing. 248 00:17:36,304 --> 00:17:39,035 Mrs. Ewing. Did I give you the date for your next fitting? 249 00:17:39,307 --> 00:17:41,355 - Yes. You did. - That's good. I'll see you then. 250 00:17:41,601 --> 00:17:43,205 - Bye-bye- - Bye-bye- 251 00:17:43,436 --> 00:17:46,201 Have you decided on the color of your dress yet? 252 00:17:48,816 --> 00:17:51,547 Well. You're not going to tell me. Are you? 253 00:17:52,153 --> 00:17:55,077 Well. I would like it to be a surprise. 254 00:17:55,448 --> 00:17:59,339 Well. One thing I can tell you is. It won't be white. 255 00:17:59,660 --> 00:18:02,106 I can't imagine why not. 256 00:18:04,873 --> 00:18:06,557 I'm glad you're here with me today. 257 00:18:06,792 --> 00:18:09,636 Well. I enjoy being with you, Sue Ellen. 258 00:18:10,087 --> 00:18:14,012 Despite the rivalry between Bobby and J.R.? 259 00:18:14,341 --> 00:18:16,708 Have you been thinking about that too? 260 00:18:17,803 --> 00:18:21,046 It's odd how relationships change. 261 00:18:22,015 --> 00:18:24,825 I hated you when Bobby first brought you to Southfork. 262 00:18:25,102 --> 00:18:27,582 That's funny. You never showed it. 263 00:18:29,606 --> 00:18:33,691 Then you were so wonderful to me when J.R. and I were fighting over John Ross. 264 00:18:34,110 --> 00:18:36,636 Well. I think you'd do the same thing for me. 265 00:18:36,905 --> 00:18:38,430 Yeah. 266 00:18:38,823 --> 00:18:41,588 I don't want us to lose our friendship. 267 00:18:42,619 --> 00:18:46,101 Well. There's no reason for that to happen. It's up to us. 268 00:18:47,040 --> 00:18:51,967 We have to try harder not to get into their fights. 269 00:18:52,420 --> 00:18:55,310 I think it would be ironic after hating each other for so long... 270 00:18:55,590 --> 00:18:59,037 and finally being friends, that we'd lose our friendship over their fight. 271 00:18:59,344 --> 00:19:02,314 Yeah. Now we just have to make sure that doesn't happen. 272 00:19:02,597 --> 00:19:04,645 And I know we'll try. 273 00:19:04,891 --> 00:19:06,541 Come on. 274 00:19:10,563 --> 00:19:13,328 My group is gonna need all the information on the refinery. 275 00:19:13,608 --> 00:19:17,010 Size. Capacity. Personnel. All of that. But I will say this... 276 00:19:17,320 --> 00:19:22,360 whatever J.R.'s offer is. I would like the opportunity to meet it and better it. 277 00:19:22,742 --> 00:19:23,868 I'll tell you. Cliff... 278 00:19:24,076 --> 00:19:26,238 what would interest me is not a better offer... 279 00:19:26,495 --> 00:19:29,305 but a deal that had a little something extra in it. 280 00:19:29,582 --> 00:19:34,110 Something that would make me happy personally. 281 00:19:34,461 --> 00:19:37,067 Yeah. Okay. Whatever it takes. 282 00:19:50,853 --> 00:19:54,141 So for hors d'oeuvres. I thought we'd start off with Scottish salmon. 283 00:19:54,606 --> 00:19:57,052 Scottish salmon. Why don't we have those little weenies? 284 00:19:57,317 --> 00:19:58,842 Those little cocktail franks. 285 00:19:59,069 --> 00:20:01,675 Now. What do you got in mind for the main course? 286 00:20:02,239 --> 00:20:03,684 Are you ready for this? 287 00:20:06,952 --> 00:20:09,034 Not bad for high school French? 288 00:20:09,454 --> 00:20:12,901 Yeah. This dinner is kind of important. Darling. What is that? 289 00:20:13,208 --> 00:20:15,176 That's that chicken dish I fixed for you. 290 00:20:15,418 --> 00:20:17,705 - Yeah. Right. That was good. - You liked it, remember? 291 00:20:17,963 --> 00:20:21,126 But I think Gil would prefer steaks. Just throw them on the barbecue... 292 00:20:21,424 --> 00:20:23,711 and char them real black. He likes them well-done. 293 00:20:23,968 --> 00:20:28,018 - J.R.. he can have that any time. - Just trying to make him feel at home. 294 00:20:29,098 --> 00:20:31,624 And for the wine... 295 00:20:31,893 --> 00:20:34,703 I thought we'd serve this. This was your daddy's favorite. 296 00:20:35,396 --> 00:20:37,364 - Bourbon. - With dinner? 297 00:20:37,815 --> 00:20:39,544 Before. With and after. 298 00:20:41,736 --> 00:20:43,898 Darling. Who are you inviting. King Kong. or�? 299 00:20:44,155 --> 00:20:47,318 Oh. No. He's just a good old boy. Now. What are you gonna wear? 300 00:20:49,994 --> 00:20:51,917 J.R.. just hold on a minute. 301 00:20:52,163 --> 00:20:54,291 I'm really trying very hard to understand this. 302 00:20:54,540 --> 00:20:57,066 I do read the papers and I know there's a surplus of oil. 303 00:20:57,710 --> 00:21:00,998 And you're pumping full out? On top of that. You wanna buy a refinery. 304 00:21:01,589 --> 00:21:02,715 Now. What's going on? 305 00:21:03,257 --> 00:21:06,101 Darling. It's just too complicated to explain. But the fact is... 306 00:21:06,385 --> 00:21:08,911 I need that refinery. I need it bad. 307 00:21:10,514 --> 00:21:12,039 Whatever you say. 308 00:21:15,686 --> 00:21:18,974 Mrs. Chambers brought down three dresses for you to look at. 309 00:21:19,523 --> 00:21:20,968 - Oh. Yeah. - This one? 310 00:21:21,191 --> 00:21:23,239 Oh. I don't know. 311 00:21:23,652 --> 00:21:25,177 Maybe this one? 312 00:21:25,529 --> 00:21:28,897 Yeah. It's nice. But it doesn't have what I'm looking for. 313 00:21:30,200 --> 00:21:31,929 Oh. Right. Turn it around. 314 00:21:32,327 --> 00:21:35,854 - That's it. That's perfect. Yeah. - You like that? 315 00:21:36,415 --> 00:21:38,941 All right. Well. I just wanna ask you one question. 316 00:21:39,209 --> 00:21:40,893 Why did you choose the sexiest? 317 00:21:41,378 --> 00:21:43,619 It's called the old Ewing one-two. 318 00:21:43,880 --> 00:21:45,405 Gil likes pretty ladies. 319 00:21:45,632 --> 00:21:49,842 The sight of you in that will set him up. I'll move in for the kill. 320 00:21:50,178 --> 00:21:53,625 And between us. We'll buy ourselves a refinery. 321 00:21:58,520 --> 00:22:01,126 That goes right over there with the other chair. 322 00:22:07,904 --> 00:22:10,908 - Well. What a nice surprise. - Hi. 323 00:22:11,824 --> 00:22:13,667 He looks wonderful. Doesn't he? 324 00:22:13,910 --> 00:22:16,356 - So does the house. It looks great. - Doesn't it? 325 00:22:16,621 --> 00:22:20,262 I know I'm rushing things. But I want to move in as soon as possible. 326 00:22:20,583 --> 00:22:23,109 Come on over here. Christopher. I have something for you. 327 00:22:23,377 --> 00:22:25,664 Oh. Mother. That's lovely. 328 00:22:25,922 --> 00:22:27,686 I just got this for him. 329 00:22:27,924 --> 00:22:29,574 - There you go. - That's so sweet. 330 00:22:29,800 --> 00:22:33,725 Pam. It's very thoughtful of you to bring the baby here. 331 00:22:34,055 --> 00:22:37,298 Well. I know how awkward it is for you at Southfork. 332 00:22:37,600 --> 00:22:39,090 With everything that's happened. 333 00:22:39,852 --> 00:22:42,173 Mother. I feel very bad. 334 00:22:42,438 --> 00:22:45,248 Christopher is growing and changing every day... 335 00:22:45,524 --> 00:22:48,334 and it's such a shame you're not seeing it happen. 336 00:22:49,695 --> 00:22:53,142 - What would you have me do, Pam? - What any loving grandmother would do. 337 00:22:53,449 --> 00:22:57,420 - Visit your grandchild. - At Southfork? I can't. 338 00:22:57,745 --> 00:22:59,793 Yes. You can. But you don't want to. 339 00:23:01,874 --> 00:23:05,560 Pam. You make it sound as though I'm rejecting the baby. 340 00:23:05,878 --> 00:23:09,439 Or worse. As though I'm rejecting you. Now. You know that's not true. 341 00:23:09,756 --> 00:23:11,724 It feels like it. 342 00:23:12,134 --> 00:23:16,583 After everything we went through to get our baby. You just turn away. 343 00:23:18,640 --> 00:23:21,644 Pam. I almost lost my son. 344 00:23:23,854 --> 00:23:29,179 How would you feel if you lost Christopher because of the Ewings? 345 00:23:37,367 --> 00:23:39,847 Mr. Ewing. There's a Mr. Macklin on the phone for you. 346 00:23:40,119 --> 00:23:41,803 Oh. Fine. 347 00:23:43,998 --> 00:23:45,921 Hey. Hello. John. 348 00:23:46,501 --> 00:23:47,662 What's new in your life? 349 00:23:48,044 --> 00:23:50,251 What's new is I'd like to see you. 350 00:23:50,505 --> 00:23:53,554 - Got a deal brewing. How's your day? - It's pretty filled up... 351 00:23:53,841 --> 00:23:56,367 but nothing I can't push around. What's your pleasure? 352 00:23:56,886 --> 00:24:00,447 I'm at the club. Why don't you come. We'll hit a few. And discuss the deal? 353 00:24:00,890 --> 00:24:03,894 Fine. I'm looking forward to it. I'll just change and be right over. 354 00:24:04,185 --> 00:24:07,553 - That's fine. See you soon. - Yes, sir. 355 00:24:14,111 --> 00:24:15,954 Yeah. That puts my golfing to shame. 356 00:24:16,197 --> 00:24:18,120 Now let's go get some drinks. 357 00:24:18,365 --> 00:24:21,096 My drinking is a lot better than my golfing. That's for sure. 358 00:24:21,368 --> 00:24:24,212 Well. What about the deal? What do you think? 359 00:24:24,496 --> 00:24:26,464 - Here you are. John. Thank you. - Thank you. 360 00:24:26,707 --> 00:24:30,393 I'll tell you, under normal circumstances. It would interest me quite a lot. 361 00:24:30,878 --> 00:24:35,122 First. Because I've never had any involvement in West Coast offshore oil... 362 00:24:35,466 --> 00:24:38,072 and second. Because you like the deal. John. 363 00:24:38,343 --> 00:24:40,744 - But? - But to tell you the truth... 364 00:24:41,013 --> 00:24:44,415 I don't think I'd see a return on my investment for, say. Two years. 365 00:24:45,058 --> 00:24:47,345 At least. Maybe three. 366 00:24:47,602 --> 00:24:50,890 Well. That's the problem. I know it would be big profits down the line. 367 00:24:51,189 --> 00:24:53,954 But it just doesn't fit in with my immediate plans. 368 00:24:54,234 --> 00:24:57,044 Look. I know about this contest between you and your brother. 369 00:24:57,737 --> 00:25:01,059 But I also know your dad wouldn't have turned down a proposition like this. 370 00:25:01,366 --> 00:25:05,291 - It's good for the company as a whole. - Different times, different needs. 371 00:25:06,621 --> 00:25:11,468 Well. Suit yourself. But if you don't mind I'm gonna talk to Bobby about it. 372 00:25:12,168 --> 00:25:14,296 He may appreciate the benefits more than you do. 373 00:25:14,546 --> 00:25:17,152 Well. Feel free. Feel free. 374 00:25:17,423 --> 00:25:19,266 Bobby and I operate differently. 375 00:25:19,509 --> 00:25:21,876 I'm sure he'll jump at a unique chance like this. 376 00:25:22,136 --> 00:25:24,377 At least I sure hope he does. 377 00:25:26,808 --> 00:25:29,049 Yeah? Bobby? Mr. Anderson is here. 378 00:25:29,310 --> 00:25:31,153 Send him in. Please. 379 00:25:38,486 --> 00:25:40,329 - Come on in. - Howdy. Bobby. 380 00:25:40,571 --> 00:25:42,300 I hope my phone call didn't throw you. 381 00:25:42,531 --> 00:25:44,499 I mean. Busting in on your schedule this way. 382 00:25:44,742 --> 00:25:47,029 - I'm always glad to see you. Come on in. - Thank you. 383 00:25:47,286 --> 00:25:50,733 - Can I make you a drink? - No. No. Thank you. 384 00:25:51,290 --> 00:25:54,100 "No. Thank you�? Well. You must be upset about something." 385 00:25:54,543 --> 00:25:56,830 Yeah. As a matter of fact, I am. 386 00:25:58,047 --> 00:26:01,494 I want you to understand that interfering in the terms of your daddy's will... 387 00:26:01,800 --> 00:26:03,404 is the last thing I wanna do. 388 00:26:03,636 --> 00:26:05,957 I mean. You've got your half of Ewing Oil to run... 389 00:26:06,221 --> 00:26:08,747 and J.R.'s got his half. And a year from now... 390 00:26:09,016 --> 00:26:10,859 one of you is gonna come up a winner. 391 00:26:11,101 --> 00:26:12,466 Punk... 392 00:26:12,895 --> 00:26:14,181 that's all old news. 393 00:26:14,646 --> 00:26:17,570 You better sit down and tell me what's on your mind. 394 00:26:22,070 --> 00:26:24,755 You see. Being the administrator of your daddy's estate... 395 00:26:25,032 --> 00:26:26,796 I've got a moral responsibility... 396 00:26:27,033 --> 00:26:29,639 to make sure those assets are properly conserved... 397 00:26:29,911 --> 00:26:31,595 so to speak. 398 00:26:31,997 --> 00:26:33,920 Oh.

But we're alarmed at what's going on. 404 00:26:48,012 --> 00:26:50,982 Why did J.R. ask for a variance on oil production? 405 00:26:52,267 --> 00:26:54,588 And why did the OLM give it to him? 406 00:26:54,852 --> 00:26:58,937 Why is he pumping his fields at capacity and what's he doing with all the oil? 407 00:26:59,274 --> 00:27:00,958 That's right. 408 00:27:01,192 --> 00:27:04,082 - You got any answers? - No. I don't. 409 00:27:04,362 --> 00:27:07,571 Punk. I made a vow to stay out of J.R.'s territory. 410 00:27:07,865 --> 00:27:10,869 He's got a right to run his half of Ewing Oil whichever way he sees fit. 411 00:27:11,160 --> 00:27:12,241 And so do I. 412 00:27:12,453 --> 00:27:13,864 Bobby. I understand that. 413 00:27:14,080 --> 00:27:17,926 But I tell you, there'd be a lot of people who'd breathe easier... 414 00:27:18,250 --> 00:27:20,298 if you get some inkling of what's going on. 415 00:27:22,213 --> 00:27:23,738 All right. Punk. 416 00:27:23,964 --> 00:27:26,854 I'll nose around.

The last I heard... 453 00:30:12,588 --> 00:30:16,229 you and Clayton Farlow's kid were off to San Angelo. 454 00:30:17,677 --> 00:30:20,806 That's really none of your business. 455 00:30:25,560 --> 00:30:27,961 Now.

I'm sure you remember that old song: 459 00:30:35,945 --> 00:30:38,676 �It's Always Better the Second Time Around.� 460 00:30:41,909 --> 00:30:45,834 If it had been me in J.R.'s boots, there never would have been a second time. 461 00:30:46,747 --> 00:30:49,114 I would never have let you go in the first place. 462 00:30:49,375 --> 00:30:51,821 Beautiful woman like you. 463 00:30:52,086 --> 00:30:53,292 Refill? 464 00:30:56,173 --> 00:30:58,779 Well.

I was starting to get worried about you. 467 00:31:20,947 --> 00:31:24,747 Well, I would have called you earlier, but we've been meeting all day. 468 00:31:25,076 --> 00:31:27,317 Look, Ray, they've asked me to present that hill... 469 00:31:27,579 --> 00:31:29,946 we've been discussing to the legislature in Austin. 470 00:31:31,374 --> 00:31:34,059 The thing is, I just really didn't want to promise them... 471 00:31:34,335 --> 00:31:36,861 that I would go until I talked to you. 472 00:31:37,505 --> 00:31:40,395 And it': Taking a little more time than you thought, huh? 473 00:31:40,675 --> 00:31:42,916 If you don't want me to go. You just say the word. 474 00:31:43,177 --> 00:31:46,738 No, no, it sounds to me like you could do that hill some good. 475 00:31:47,056 --> 00:31:49,627 You just go ahead. Tell them yes. 476 00:31:50,393 --> 00:31:51,918 I will. 477 00:31:52,353 --> 00:31:54,435 And I'll be home real soon. 478 00:32:06,450 --> 00:32:08,452 You haven't had a drink with me all evening. 479 00:32:09,453 --> 00:32:11,057 Of course I have. 480 00:32:12,540 --> 00:32:15,544 Oh.

I just don't drink, that's all. 483 00:32:25,511 --> 00:32:27,878 Well. I don't know what's keeping J.R. It's 8:30. 484 00:32:28,138 --> 00:32:29,628 He should be here any minute. 485 00:32:29,848 --> 00:32:31,338 He might. 486 00:32:31,558 --> 00:32:34,289 Then again. He might not. 487 00:32:34,561 --> 00:32:36,404 Now. I got a good idea. 488 00:32:36,647 --> 00:32:39,298 Why don't you and me split? We'll leave a note for J.R.: 489 00:32:39,566 --> 00:32:40,852 �Gone fishing.� 490 00:32:41,068 --> 00:32:45,153 Go to my place. And then you won't have to worry about being walked in on. 491 00:32:48,408 --> 00:32:50,376 It must be J.R. 492 00:32:59,377 --> 00:33:02,586 Oh. Sue Ellen. I can't apologize enough for this. Darling. 493 00:33:02,881 --> 00:33:06,886 Say... Oh. Gil. Doggone I'm sorry about keeping you waiting this long. 494 00:33:07,218 --> 00:33:09,505 I had an emergency. One of my wells caught on fire. 495 00:33:09,763 --> 00:33:11,003 Did the telephones burn too? 496 00:33:12,348 --> 00:33:14,476 Well. I had to keep the lines open to the field. 497 00:33:14,726 --> 00:33:16,535 Let me freshen this up for you. 498 00:33:16,769 --> 00:33:18,658 No. Thank you. 499 00:33:18,938 --> 00:33:20,383 I don't want any more. 500 00:33:23,234 --> 00:33:26,761 In that case. We can sit down to dinner right now if that's convenient for you? 501 00:33:28,823 --> 00:33:31,474 - Certainly. - No. I've lost my appetite. 502 00:33:31,742 --> 00:33:35,189 - I think I'm just gonna head on out. - Well. Now. Gil. Hold on there. 503 00:33:35,496 --> 00:33:37,180 Put those steaks on right away. Honey. 504 00:33:37,415 --> 00:33:39,338 We can have a couple of more drinks... 505 00:33:39,583 --> 00:33:41,904 maybe a couple of laughs. And talk some business. 506 00:33:42,169 --> 00:33:44,820 Frankly. I don't think we've got any business to talk about. 507 00:33:45,089 --> 00:33:47,251 Because I haven't heard the right offer yet. 508 00:33:47,508 --> 00:33:49,715 Thank you for the booze. Good night. 509 00:33:49,969 --> 00:33:51,858 - Say. Gil. We'll do it again... - Good night. 510 00:33:52,096 --> 00:33:54,986 Yeah. All right. Fine.

You're the one who left me stranded here... 514 00:34:08,821 --> 00:34:11,745 for over an hour with that disgusting animal. 515 00:34:12,032 --> 00:34:13,796 How could you be so thoughtless? 516 00:34:14,034 --> 00:34:16,958 Thoughtless? I did that on purpose. 517 00:34:18,288 --> 00:34:19,574 You what? 518 00:34:19,790 --> 00:34:22,714 Oh. Sue Ellen. I was counting on some soft lights... 519 00:34:23,001 --> 00:34:26,483 and a few drinks with a beautiful woman just to mellow him out... 520 00:34:26,797 --> 00:34:29,687 so when dinner was over. I could have struck a deal with him. 521 00:34:29,966 --> 00:34:31,252 You used me? 522 00:34:31,468 --> 00:34:33,789 He wanted me to go to bed with him. Right now. 523 00:34:34,054 --> 00:34:36,216 You knew he was gonna come on to me. 524 00:34:36,514 --> 00:34:38,642 Are you saying I was using you like a hooker? 525 00:34:39,225 --> 00:34:40,590 Well. What would you say? 526 00:34:41,811 --> 00:34:43,734 Oh. Sue Ellen. 527 00:34:43,980 --> 00:34:46,062 I've been in business a lot of years. 528 00:34:46,316 --> 00:34:49,718 And if I think I can close a deal with a client by offering him a hooker... 529 00:34:50,028 --> 00:34:52,235 I'd do it, honey. I admit it. 530 00:34:52,488 --> 00:34:54,650 But if I was gonna go that route... 531 00:34:54,991 --> 00:34:57,517 do you honestly believe I'd use the woman I love? 532 00:34:59,287 --> 00:35:00,618 My bride-to-be? 533 00:35:00,830 --> 00:35:02,594 All right. I made a mistake. 534 00:35:03,249 --> 00:35:05,138 I misjudged the man. 535 00:35:06,210 --> 00:35:09,180 If I thought he was gonna come on like an animal... 536 00:35:10,631 --> 00:35:13,396 do you really think I'd have subjected you to that? 537 00:35:15,803 --> 00:35:17,646 I hope you believe me. 538 00:35:18,305 --> 00:35:20,672 I love you very much, Sue Ellen. 539 00:35:32,611 --> 00:35:35,262 Think dinner can wait just a little while longer? 540 00:35:38,200 --> 00:35:41,124 I suppose so. We've waited this long. 541 00:35:41,412 --> 00:35:43,574 A little while longer won't hurt. 542 00:35:55,050 --> 00:35:57,940 - Cliff. I wanna ask you something. - Yeah. 543 00:35:58,220 --> 00:36:00,222 Now that we're alone... 544 00:36:01,056 --> 00:36:02,820 Sort of. 545 00:36:03,850 --> 00:36:05,534 Just between you and me... 546 00:36:05,769 --> 00:36:09,774 is it really worth getting into this refinery deal just to spite J.R.? 547 00:36:10,106 --> 00:36:13,189 If that's all there was to it. No. But there's more to it than that. 548 00:36:13,485 --> 00:36:16,967 I mean. Beyond the value of the investment. There's more to it than that. 549 00:36:17,280 --> 00:36:20,489 I'm thinking about me and the cartel. If I can deliver this deal... 550 00:36:20,784 --> 00:36:24,072 to Jordan Lee and the others. I'm only cementing my position with them. 551 00:36:24,370 --> 00:36:27,419 Don't forget. The last time I was up against J.R.. I got suckered. 552 00:36:27,707 --> 00:36:28,868 And they know that. 553 00:36:29,083 --> 00:36:31,654 I've got to prove to them that I can do it. I just got to. 554 00:36:31,919 --> 00:36:33,921 And I gotta prove it to myself. 555 00:36:34,172 --> 00:36:38,541 Oh. Afton. Look. This might be the most important deal of my whole life. 556 00:36:44,849 --> 00:36:47,011 Look. John. The more I think about your proposal... 557 00:36:47,268 --> 00:36:48,952 the more I can see it's rock-solid. 558 00:36:49,186 --> 00:36:51,632 But I'm still gonna have to turn it down. 559 00:36:51,897 --> 00:36:53,501 You too? 560 00:36:53,774 --> 00:36:57,096 The payout is just a little too long in coming back to me. Simple as that. 561 00:36:57,403 --> 00:37:00,646 That's what J.R. said. I figured you'd be a little wiser. 562 00:37:00,948 --> 00:37:03,838 Daddy put us in some pretty stiff competition with one another. 563 00:37:04,118 --> 00:37:06,883 I know that. But he never meant for you to throw all concern... 564 00:37:07,162 --> 00:37:08,732 for the company out the window. 565 00:37:09,665 --> 00:37:12,589 - I'm not doing that. - Well. Of course you are. 566 00:37:12,876 --> 00:37:16,517 You two aren't building Ewing Oil. You're using it for a battlefield. 567 00:37:17,214 --> 00:37:20,775 John. There is a time pressure on both of us. 568 00:37:21,093 --> 00:37:24,620 I can't speak for J.R.. but I'm already involved in one long-term investment. 569 00:37:24,930 --> 00:37:27,251 - With the McLeish brothers. - The Canadians? 570 00:37:27,516 --> 00:37:30,599 That's right. And that's off the record. 571 00:37:30,894 --> 00:37:33,135 I'm gonna be sweating that one out enough as it is. 572 00:37:33,397 --> 00:37:36,082 I can't afford another long-term investment. Not this year. 573 00:37:37,651 --> 00:37:39,062 Well... 574 00:37:39,820 --> 00:37:43,825 if that's how things stand. I feel sorry for the legacy Jock left you both. 575 00:37:45,617 --> 00:37:48,348 Ewing Oil may be a shambles by the end of the year. 576 00:37:59,923 --> 00:38:01,573 You all through for the night? 577 00:38:01,799 --> 00:38:04,325 Yes. That was the last set. 578 00:38:06,846 --> 00:38:09,247 Have you made a decision yet about your refinery? 579 00:38:10,641 --> 00:38:12,848 Well. I'll tell you... 580 00:38:14,979 --> 00:38:16,583 Why don't we turn the cards face up? 581 00:38:17,523 --> 00:38:21,050 At this point, I guess you could call me a wealthy man. 582 00:38:21,360 --> 00:38:23,328 And I wanna sell the refinery. 583 00:38:23,571 --> 00:38:25,812 For me. It's the right thing to do now. 584 00:38:26,198 --> 00:38:28,769 Frankly. I don't care who I sell it to. 585 00:38:30,202 --> 00:38:32,808 - Really? - Sure. A couple of hundred thousand... 586 00:38:33,080 --> 00:38:35,606 one way or the other. What difference does it make? 587 00:38:35,875 --> 00:38:39,402 What I'm interested in is the fringe benefits. 588 00:38:39,712 --> 00:38:41,919 Do you understand"? Oh. That's a shame. 589 00:38:42,548 --> 00:38:45,631 I guess I'm just gonna have to call J.R. and tell him he's got it. 590 00:38:47,720 --> 00:38:50,371 Barnes really wants my refinery. 591 00:38:52,516 --> 00:38:53,802 Doesn't he? 592 00:39:14,287 --> 00:39:16,494 Look. I offered him the price we agreed upon. 593 00:39:16,790 --> 00:39:19,396 I just haven't heard back from him yet. 594 00:39:19,793 --> 00:39:22,273 Jordan. I won't go over the limit. 595 00:39:22,671 --> 00:39:26,198 All right. I'll call you just as soon as I hear from him. Yeah. So long. 596 00:39:26,508 --> 00:39:30,797 Hi. You know. I fell asleep last night waiting up for you watching television? 597 00:39:31,137 --> 00:39:34,186 I thought you were gonna come over after the last show. 598 00:39:34,849 --> 00:39:40,015 I was working kind of late last night. So I just went straight back to my place. 599 00:39:41,606 --> 00:39:42,812 Was that Jordan Lee? 600 00:39:43,566 --> 00:39:44,806 Yeah. That was Jordan Lee. 601 00:39:45,026 --> 00:39:47,506 And just a few minutes before that. Marilee Stone called. 602 00:39:47,779 --> 00:39:49,349 And then Andy Bradley before that. 603 00:39:49,864 --> 00:39:52,549 Suddenly. They're anxious to get that refinery from Thurman. 604 00:39:52,825 --> 00:39:54,350 Just as anxious as I am. 605 00:39:54,577 --> 00:39:56,341 Almost. 606 00:39:56,579 --> 00:40:01,301 You see. I finally figured out why this deal is so important to me. 607 00:40:01,667 --> 00:40:02,714 Why? 608 00:40:02,918 --> 00:40:07,480 Because just once. Just once. I would like to beat J.R. in a straight deal. 609 00:40:07,840 --> 00:40:09,729 No trickery. No chicanery... 610 00:40:09,967 --> 00:40:13,176 but just because I'm the best man. 611 00:40:16,307 --> 00:40:19,038 I have a feeling you'll get the refinery. 612 00:40:32,364 --> 00:40:33,650 Hello. Ray. 613 00:40:34,825 --> 00:40:36,270 Howdy. 614 00:40:39,162 --> 00:40:42,211 I... I was just over at your house looking for Donna. 615 00:40:42,499 --> 00:40:43,739 Where is she? 616 00:40:43,959 --> 00:40:46,849 She went to Austin last night. Drove her to the airport. 617 00:40:47,129 --> 00:40:48,972 Back tonight. Or tomorrow morning. 618 00:40:49,214 --> 00:40:51,023 Something I can help you with? 619 00:40:52,759 --> 00:40:55,763 Did you ever have one of those moods where you need somebody... 620 00:40:56,054 --> 00:40:58,705 to just think out loud with? 621 00:40:59,641 --> 00:41:02,565 You mean. A good listener? Try me. 622 00:41:06,022 --> 00:41:09,822 I'm... I'm not sure I know how to put it into words. 623 00:41:13,029 --> 00:41:15,236 Bobby and J.R.? 624 00:41:15,573 --> 00:41:16,984 Yes. 625 00:41:17,742 --> 00:41:20,871 With each passing week. I see it getting worse. 626 00:41:21,162 --> 00:41:26,612 I'm just so afraid that their rivalry is gonna tear the family apart. 627 00:41:27,752 --> 00:41:29,959 They're in a high-stakes game. Miss Ellie. 628 00:41:30,213 --> 00:41:31,658 I know. 629 00:41:32,340 --> 00:41:34,866 Oh. How I wish Jock could have found some other way. 630 00:41:35,843 --> 00:41:40,451 Anything except pitting them against each other like this. 631 00:41:42,308 --> 00:41:45,915 Well. That's something I thought about a lot too lately. 632 00:41:46,228 --> 00:41:48,629 I don't know what else he could have done. 633 00:41:48,898 --> 00:41:52,220 Jock knew those two boys couldn't run this company together. 634 00:41:52,735 --> 00:41:55,625 Only one of them could. Alone. 635 00:41:55,904 --> 00:41:59,465 So he sets up this slugfest to let them decide who wants it the most. 636 00:42:01,243 --> 00:42:03,007 They're tough boys, Miss Ellie. 637 00:42:03,245 --> 00:42:05,452 I think they'll come out of this okay. 638 00:42:06,582 --> 00:42:08,505 I don't know. Ray. 639 00:42:09,835 --> 00:42:12,202 What I do know is that I've... 640 00:42:12,921 --> 00:42:15,492 I've never been so afraid for my family. 641 00:42:31,731 --> 00:42:33,620 - Yeah? - Mr. Barnes? 642 00:42:33,858 --> 00:42:36,020 Mr. Thurman is here to see you. 643 00:42:36,361 --> 00:42:38,045 Show him right in. 644 00:42:45,411 --> 00:42:47,413 I took a chance coming without an appointment. 645 00:42:47,664 --> 00:42:49,871 I figured it was fifty-fifty you might be free. 646 00:42:50,124 --> 00:42:52,047 Odds are better than that for you. 647 00:42:52,293 --> 00:42:53,738 Have a seat. 648 00:42:59,300 --> 00:43:00,665 What brings you my way? 649 00:43:01,969 --> 00:43:04,336 I wanted to tell you in person. 650 00:43:04,597 --> 00:43:05,644 You got it. 651 00:43:05,890 --> 00:43:07,176 The refinery? 652 00:43:07,391 --> 00:43:09,120 It's all yours. You're the winner. 653 00:43:09,936 --> 00:43:11,825 Oh. Fantastic. 654 00:43:12,063 --> 00:43:14,065 This calls for a drink. 655 00:43:15,107 --> 00:43:18,190 - Branch and bourbon? - Hold the branch. 656 00:43:18,486 --> 00:43:20,853 Now. I gotta ask you something. 657 00:43:22,448 --> 00:43:23,813 Sure. 658 00:43:26,660 --> 00:43:29,140 Just tell me. Was J.R. ever really in this? 659 00:43:29,997 --> 00:43:31,840 Oh. Hell. Yeah. 660 00:43:32,082 --> 00:43:35,689 But I gotta tell you. I think he's losing his touch. 661 00:43:36,003 --> 00:43:38,609 The king of the dealmakers has lost it. 662 00:43:40,090 --> 00:43:41,296 Ain't that too bad? 663 00:43:42,134 --> 00:43:46,742 Now. You. You know how to put a deal together. 664 00:43:47,681 --> 00:43:49,649 That's nice to hear. 665 00:43:50,350 --> 00:43:52,512 Well. Let's drink to whatever it takes to win. 666 00:43:55,522 --> 00:43:56,808 Whatever it takes. 667 00:44:04,197 --> 00:44:05,801 Hey. Honey. 668 00:44:07,534 --> 00:44:09,821 I thought you were gonna swim with me. 669 00:44:13,123 --> 00:44:16,093 - What's the matter? - Oh. Everything. 670 00:44:16,376 --> 00:44:19,858 Well. Now. It can't be that bad. Come on. What's on your mind? 671 00:44:20,713 --> 00:44:22,203 Jack's will. 672 00:44:22,423 --> 00:44:24,585 It's ruining our lives. Bobby. All of us. 673 00:44:24,842 --> 00:44:26,890 My mother... After everything that's happened... 674 00:44:27,136 --> 00:44:30,106 my mother can't bring herself to even come to Southfork anymore. 675 00:44:30,390 --> 00:44:32,392 - Because J.R.'s back in the company. - Yeah. 676 00:44:32,642 --> 00:44:35,088 And she and Miss Ellie have become such good friends. 677 00:44:35,353 --> 00:44:38,197 And now that's gone. She won't even come here to see Christopher. 678 00:44:39,816 --> 00:44:41,784 - Well. Do you think that's right? - No. 679 00:44:42,235 --> 00:44:44,158 But I understand it. 680 00:44:45,029 --> 00:44:48,920 Another thing. Sue Ellen is my friend. And we want to stay friends. 681 00:44:49,241 --> 00:44:51,084 I don't know if that's even possible now. 682 00:44:51,869 --> 00:44:54,793 - I know. - And worst of all. You and J.R... 683 00:44:55,081 --> 00:44:57,732 are at each other's throats. You should see Miss Ellie. 684 00:44:58,000 --> 00:45:00,606 Why didn't Jock think of his wife when he wrote that will? 685 00:45:00,878 --> 00:45:04,166 What's she supposed to do? Choose between her two sons, or be torn apart? 686 00:45:04,924 --> 00:45:08,485 Pamela. That's just the way it is. And we're gonna have to live with it. 687 00:45:08,802 --> 00:45:10,088 Why do we have to? 688 00:45:11,430 --> 00:45:12,841 What are you saying? 689 00:45:13,474 --> 00:45:18,002 What I'm saying is that Ewing Oil isn't worth the lives of half a dozen people. 690 00:45:19,146 --> 00:45:22,548 Why don't we take Christopher and move away? Just leave. 691 00:45:22,858 --> 00:45:24,986 And give Ewing Oil to J.R. on a silver platter? 692 00:45:25,235 --> 00:45:26,885 Oh. To hell with Ewing Oil. 693 00:45:27,112 --> 00:45:29,160 All right. Okay. We leave. 694 00:45:29,406 --> 00:45:31,932 And we leave Mama to J.R.'s tender mercies. 695 00:45:32,200 --> 00:45:33,964 Is that what you want? 696 00:45:37,122 --> 00:45:38,408 No. 697 00:45:39,916 --> 00:45:42,157 But what about the rest of us? 698 00:45:43,545 --> 00:45:45,786 All right. The rest of us. 699 00:45:46,214 --> 00:45:49,855 If your mama doesn't understand there's a difference between J.R. and me... 700 00:45:50,176 --> 00:45:53,623 that she should come to Southfork to see her grandson. That's her problem. 701 00:45:53,930 --> 00:45:55,739 And as for Sue Ellen and you. 702 00:45:55,974 --> 00:45:59,262 Well. I want you to befriends. I want you to stay friends too... 703 00:46:00,061 --> 00:46:02,268 but whatever happens. Happens. 704 00:46:03,022 --> 00:46:06,549 And as for my mama. After 45 years of marriage... 705 00:46:06,859 --> 00:46:09,339 she'll have to have faith in her husband's judgment. 706 00:46:09,612 --> 00:46:13,219 And it's gonna be that faith in him that keeps her from being torn apart. 707 00:46:13,533 --> 00:46:17,697 And as for me. My daddy put a challenge to me in that will... 708 00:46:18,204 --> 00:46:21,208 and somewhere in that challenge is his confidence in me. 709 00:46:21,499 --> 00:46:24,628 Confidence that I might have even just a little bit of what he had. 710 00:46:24,919 --> 00:46:27,570 Of the guts that it took to build Ewing Oil. 711 00:46:27,838 --> 00:46:31,206 And if he had that confidence in me. Pam. I'm not gonna back off. 712 00:46:31,509 --> 00:46:33,830 Not now and not ever. 713 00:46:55,199 --> 00:46:56,849 - Yeah? - .I.R.? 714 00:46:57,075 --> 00:46:59,601 Mr. Cliff Barnes is here to see you. 715 00:47:02,914 --> 00:47:05,121 J.R.?
