What do you get when you cross a Barnes with an ewing?

A boy? Or a girl?

A baby?!

A baby!

That kid's gonna have everything.

Everything, you hear?

You got my daughter living in your house.

Now you're gonna take my grandson.

There is nothing in this world

That jock ewing wants more than a grandson.

And I haven't been able to give him his first.

Shh!

Little brother Bobby and that Barnes girl

Are gonna have a baby named ewing.

Captioning made possible by Warner bros.

Mornin', daddy.

Mornin', Bobby.

Hey, let me carry that for you.

Ha! Oh, I think I got enough left in me

To tote a case of my best bourbon whiskey.

Suit yourself.

Well, tilly, you ready to feed

Half the state of Texas?

Been catering ewing parties 12 years, mr. Bobby.

Ain't nobody never gone hungry yet.

I guess you're right.

But would you please drop the "mister"?

Sam and I drop the "mister," I have to charge 10% less.

Daddy, just don't strain yourself

Before your big reunion.

Hey!

Reunion? What do you mean, reunion?

Didn't mama tell you?

Tell me what?

Well, Pamela's daddy's coming.

Willard Barnes coming here?

Willard?

Yeah, willard.

That was his name before he called himself "digger."

Now, what the hell's he coming out here for?

Well, he's Pamela's daddy.

He's my father-in-law. He should be invited.

Inviting's one thing. Accepting's another.

Come on. It's gonna be

The greatest thing ever happened,

You and digger get back together.

Might even bury the hatchet.

See you later.

My house, my barbecue.

Digger Barnes.

I don't know about this, Pamela.

Hmm.

Well, that's not gonna make it.

And neither is that shirt.

This shirt? I love this shirt.

That's a terrific shirt.

"Terrific" isn't part of the plan.

Plan? I don't understand. Plan?

To make me into a hayseed.

Aw, come on, pam.

How much hay is there on the streets of Dallas?

Change that shirt.

Aw, pam. You're not serious.

Wanna bet?

You gonna use that tie?

Mm-hmm. That's the price you're gonna pay

For not going to the barbecue.

No, it's OK.

I like that.

Would you change that shirt?

I'll fix the tie at the ranch.

Pamela, you go on ahead.

Jimmy and I'll drive out later.

Oh, daddy, I thought we'd use the time

Before the barbecue to get reacquainted.

Reacquainted with jock ewing? Hmm.

Daddy, I don't know why you're going out there at all.

You hate him.

That's right. I hate him.

Jock ewing had the head. I had the nose.

He was the smarter. I've never said otherwise...

But without my nose, he wouldn't have had nothing.

I found the oil.

He claimed it.

I drilled it.

He sold what bubbled up.

How'd he do that?

We was partners.

One needed the other.

I trusted him.

He stole you blind.

He not only stole my fortune,

He stole my sweetheart.

My daddy used to work for her daddy,

Old man southworth.

That's how we got to know each other.

She was a sweet little thing, ellie was...

With a great big laugh.

She had a way about her.

She could be sweet as sugar one minute,

And come at you with a shotgun the next,

And, oh, what a temper she had.

Go off like a firecracker.

Bang!

And just quick as quick, it's all over.

Sure had a way about her.

Daddy, why are you going out there?

Because pam asked me.

Begged you is more like it.

My little girl... married to ellie's son.

I ain't sure what, but it must mean something.

2 hours, jimmy?

OK? Drive carefully.

Bye, cliff.

Bye.

2 hours.

Make sure there's plenty of coffee and punch.

All right? 2:30. Thanks, sam.

Hi, sue ellen.

Pamela, will you please move your car?

The florist's truck has got to get out of here.

Oh, sure. I'm sorry.

Hey, lucy. Hmm?

How about moving the car?

Me? Yeah.

Where's your daddy and your cousin?

Oh, they'll be here later.

How'd you know about my cousin jimmy?

Bobby told me.

He didn't insinuate... insinuate what?

Anything about you meeting jimmy.

He said that I might like him.

Oh, jimmy's just a baby.

19, Bobby said.

There's 19, and there's 19,

And compared to you, he's 5.

Don't forget to move the car.

Hi, how are you.

Hi.

Wonder what kind of a cannon was she shot out of.

Woman: doctor's office.

Hello.

This is Pamela ewing.

I was in this morning, and I just wondered if...

Woman: would you hold, please?

Sure, I'll hold.

Doctor: hello, mrs. Ewing.

The test is positive.

It's positive?

Doctor: YES.

You mean I'm... I'm really...

Doctor: yes, you are definitely pregnant.

How long?

Doctor: well, it's a little early to tell right now.

All right.

That's... That's wonderful.

You're wonderful!

Thank you. Thank you.

Bye.

Bobby? I'm home.

I'll be out in a minute, hon.

Hi.

Hi.

Did you go to Dallas today?

Mm-hmm.

Sorry. How's digger?

Fine. Stone sober.

Good. I'll get you a towel.

I learned a riddle today.

Oh? Let's hear it.

Well, I know the riddle, but I don't know the answer.

What?

I don't know the answer yet.

You're nuts.

Ha ha! Yeah.

Well, I figure there are only 2 possible answers.

Pamela, are you gonna tell me the riddle or not?

What do you get when you cross a Barnes with an ewing?

In the first place, you never cross an ewing.

Ohh.

Sorry. All right.

What are the 2 possible answers?

A boy or a girl?

You...

Wow.

I love you.

I love you.

Yes! Ha ha ha ha ha!

Sue ellen: it's still a little windy, senator,

But I think it's shifted.

It's calmed down.

It really is a nice day.

Just... Just loving it.

It's so nice that you're here.

Ray.

Senator, I think you know

Our ranch foreman ray krebbs.

Certainly. Ray. Nice to see you again.

Good to see you, senator.

Sue ellen: and his very good friend...

Maureen.

Maureen. Yes.

You're looking lovely today, dear.

My sentiments entirely.

Nice to see you.

Senator, champagne?

Thank you.

Don't forget our dance.

It's gonna be my pleasure, I assure you.

Have a fine time today, senator.

Thanks, ray.

Doc allistair, how you doing?

Good to see you.

Hi, is everybody OK?

Get enough to drink?

Oh, excuse me a minute, hon, OK?

OK.

Hi.

Well, hi.

Don't you look cute.

Cute's not exactly my first choice,

But, you know,

Party at home with grandmother.

But...

An announcement later, but pam is pregnant.

Hey, I'm gonna go over and talk to pam.

Pam, I just heard the word. Congratulations.

Pam: thank you.

You know, you just can't wait for the right thing.

Hi.

Hello. Hi, lucy.

Have you met Susan?

No. Hello.

Susan's one of our new little ladies

At the office, and this is lucy,

And she's my niece.

Of course, Bobby's niece, too.

Of course.

Hey, jim, how you doing?

All right, j.r. How are you?

Good. Good.

Listen, you show Susan around,

And make sure she meets everybody.

Sure.

Come here just a sec. I want to talk to you.

Did, uh, Bobby hire you?

No. J.r.

Ohh.

Oh, j.r., he never misses a trick.

Sam. How you doing, sam?

Real good, miss ellie.

These folks are drinkers.

We're way ahead of last year.

Well, keep it flowing.

Hi.

Hello, willard.

Hello, ellie.

You look nice.

You look same as always.

That's going a little far.

This is my nephew jimmy.

Jimmy, say hello to miss ellie ewing.

Good to meet you, ma'am.

Thank you, jimmy. Glad you could come.

I know you'll have a real fine time.

Thanks, ma'am.

We old folks are gonna rehash some ancient history.

Come on.

Jimmy. Hi.

Hey, where's digger?

He's with, uh, what's her name? Miss ellie?

Yeah? Is he all right?

Mm-hmm. Nervous as a rabbit, but sober.

Oh, thank god for that.

I'll tell you what. I'll take you around

And introduce you to some of the folks. OK?

Bobby!

I'm gonna take jimmy around.

OK. How you doing, jimmy?

Jimmy: pretty good.

OK, you take care of her now.

OK.

Bobby.

Yes, sam?

Can I have a word?

Why, sure. Excuse me. Come on through.

Sure is good news about you and the bride.

Thank you very much.

It's the worst-kept secret of the party.

Word's gettin' around.

Maybe mr. Jock and miss ellie...

Of course, they should hear it from us first.

I'll see if I can find them and tell them.

Congratulations.

Thanks a lot, sam.

Hey, ray, come here.

Lucy.

Hi. How are you?

Hi.

You know maureen.

Lucy: uh, yeah, I remember.

Um, have you heard about Bobby and pam?

No.

They're going to have a baby.

Isn't that terrific?

That's terrific.

Ray...

Maureen, why don't you get another drink, OK?

OK.

See you in a bit.

Sneaking his cigarettes early today.

He's snuck 3 of them sitting there.

Ain't like him to stay away from his guests so long.

Digger Barnes is here.

Say what?

You heard me.

The girl Bobby married is digger's daughter,

So it figures jock and digger

Are bound to meet again.

Yeah, but from the looks of him,

It happened a long time before he was ready.

How are things out there?

Crazy.

That ain't no news. Tell me some news.

She's on a nest... digger's girl.

Now that's news.

How's the missis and big brother taking it?

I don't think they know about it yet.

They ain't gonna like that.

Who's gonna be the first to have a fight?

Too soon to tell.

First to get drunk?

He's got the head start.

Ahh.

My brand, tillie.

Everything under control?

Oh, yes, sir, mr.jock.

You ought to be gettin' back to your guests.

I'll keep both eyes open.

Digger Barnes, tillie.

Digger Barnes is... At my house.

Well, it was bound to happen, mr. Jock,

What with the children being married to each other.

You know, to hear digger Barnes tell it,

Jock ewing's responsible for everything evil,

All the way back to original sin.

Here's to original sin.

Stole his girl.

The old man worked for southworth for a while,

That's all.

He and ellie were 14 years old, 15 tops.

Sweethearts.

How you doing?

You enjoying yourself?

Well, hi, daddy. I've been looking for you.

Duties. Bar duties.

Well, uh, pammy and I,

We got something we'd like to talk to you and mama about.

Oh?

And digger Barnes?

Yes, sir.

Well, this is one meeting I'm not looking forward to.

Well, daddy...

I think this just might surprise you.

As a matter of fact, I'm sure it's gonna.

Come on.

So that's what it came down to, willard.

It was 1930.

There was drought, depression.

My family was going to lose this ranch.

You married jock ewing to save all this?

I don't understand.

We southworths have been here a long time.

We love this land.

It's what we're made of.

Any regrets?

None at all.

Jock and I made a good marriage.

We love each other.

I think about you often, willard.

I always have...

But I did what I had to do.

Now, we better get back

Before we set tongues wagging.

Ellie, just one thing:

Nobody, but nobody, calls me willard anymore.

What a pleasure to see 3 such lovely ladies

Having so much fun.

Why not?

It's a extra-special celebration.

Well, I seem to be in the dark.

Bobby and pam, of course.

Oh, I'm sorry.

I thought everybody knew by now.

Knew what, lucy, dear?

Pam and Bobby are going to have a baby.

Well... That is cause for celebration.

I'll go find Pamela.

Well, old boy, good job.

"Yeah, I think so.

And it looked so good, I ate it myself."

That's what he said.

Excuse me. Pamela?

Yes?

I am so happy for you.

Well, thank you, sue ellen.

It's just very exciting for us all.

Yes, it is.

Thank you.

Thank you, sam.

Thank you.

This little girl, she said, "well, j.r.,

You got to wear these rose-colored glasses..."

J.r.?

A rosy outlook on life. Now, I think...

J.r.? Excuse me.

Yes, darlin'?

May I see you a minute, please?

Oh, sure. I always got time for a pretty lady.

You gentlemen excuse me?

Be right back.

Well, I can see by your, uh, apparent good humor

That you're not aware of the news of the hour.

Well, I've heard about the alamo,

If that's what you mean.

Waterloo's more like it... Yours.

Would you get to the point, darlin'?

I'm talking to a senator over there.

Well, I am talking about your little brother Bobby,

The apple of jock ewing's eye,

And his wife and their marriage...

Their bountiful marriage.

Uh, would you come to the point, darlin'?

It is not at all like ours.

There is nothing in this world that jock ewing wants

More than a grandson...

And I haven't been able to give him his first

Because of your disinterest in me.

Shh!

She is pregnant, j.r.!

Little brother Bobby and that Barnes girl

Are gonna have a baby... Named ewing.

Maybe even a boy.

Now, you just think about that.

Mind if I sit down?

I didn't see you out there dancing at all today.

Don't know how.

You could probably get somebody to teach you.

Why?

Don't you want to learn?

Never gave it much thought.

It's really fun.

What do you do for fun?

Pool.

Swimming pool?

Shootin' pool.

You any good at it?

Pretty good.

You any good at anything else?

Nothing much.

Do you have a girlfriend?

Nope.

But you do like girls, though?

Never gave it much thought.

You don't like boys, do you?

Sure do.

I mean, like them... you know, in that way?

What way?

Never mind.

Have you ever had a girlfriend

That you've... You know?

"You know" what?

Never mind.

OK, so she's showing him around the ranch.

I'm going to see if that man's

Carving the beef right.

Daddy, we got something we want to tell you.

We don't want you to hear it out there.

No disrespect to you, young lady,

But why did your daddy come here at all today?

Because I begged him to.

Well, I sure can't make heads or tails of this.

I know I shouldn't have told him all that.

He works hard, poor j.r. Does.

Oh, I shouldn't add to his pressures.

I shouldn't make him uncomfortable.

Mm-mmm.

Ever.

Of course... A wife has needs, too.

I do.

I admit that candidly.

Unfulfilled needs... at the present time.

Hmm.

I say at the present,

But I don't plan to do anything

Outside the bounds of marriage.

No, it's propriety.

Never. Uh-uh.

No chance of that at all.

But... I am optimistic...

About j.r. And me...

About j.r. And me and conjugal circumstance.

I keep myself nice.

I really work at it.

Scarcely gained a pound since I was miss Texas.

I really do take care of myself.

I wonder where j.r. Got off to.

Maybe... Maybe I overstated the case.

Is jock ewing going to love j.r. Less

Because Bobby ewing gave him his first grandson?

Yes...

Because jock ewing loves j.r. Less to begin with.

What would I like?

I'd like j.r. To love me more.

Is that asking for too much?

Oh, I don't think so.

Where you been, ellie?

I was showing digger the ranch.

Oh.

Jock, you haven't seen digger yet, have you?

No.

You two do remember one another, don't you?

Don't be flip, boy.

Just tell us what you got to say.

I've got guests to take care of.

Well... Let's see.

Say it, Bobby.

OK, I'll say it.

We're going to have a baby.

A baby?!

A baby?!

Josh: man, that is news!

You're... Gonna be a mama.

No, that isn't what I was gonna say.

What were you gonna say, digger?

Yeah, well, uh... You are happy?

Yes, daddy, I'm happy.

I reckon it's out of style to say so,

But I damn sure hope it's a boy. Ha ha!

Ellie: you're right.

About wanting a grandson?

No, about being out of style.

Ellie: when's the baby due, Pamela?

I don't know.

I just went to the lab this morning.

I have to make an appointment with the doctor.

Anything we can do for you, pam?

Yes... You can give me 2 granddaddies

For our baby to be with together.

You just said you'd work on it, daddy.

Just try.

A handshake.

Digger: well, jock?

Maybe if we gave it a try,

We could make a go of it.

Let's go see our guests.

Come on, daddy.

Oh. Ha ha ha.

Hi. How are you?

Good to see you.

Good to see you.

Good to see you again.

Listen, we have a little announcement...

Hi. Jimmy, you having a good time?

Yeah. Listen, pam, I got to tell you,

It was perfect.

I almost laughed at myself

For carrying on like a hayseed and all.

I love it.

Well, I told you lucy does not respond to cool.

Yeah. Listen, I don't want to keep the lady waiting,

You know? Heh.

I'm getting a royal tour of the ranch.

Well, go and enjoy it.

OK. See you.

No, I don't want no coffee. Go on.

If this doesn't call for a drink, nothing does.

Well, I'm on the wagon.

Give me my brand, Kelly.

Give him grape soda pop.

I've been ready for that child.

Have been for a long time.

I gotta get ready.

That kid's gonna have everything.

Everything, you hear?

Now, we can't spoil him.

Why not?

I spoiled Bobby rotten,

And he turned out to be the best of the lot.

Yes, sir, that kid's gonna have

A shetland pony and one of those

Buzzy bikes the kids like.

Not again, jock.

What?

You're gonna take everything, like always.

You got my daughter living in your house,

Now you're gonna take my grandson.

Same old digger Barnes.

No, no, I'm not the same.

I decided right up there on that porch

That I was gonna forgive you.

Forgive? Forgive me for what?

For stealing. For swindling.

For cheating me out of what was mine.

Do you really see it that way, digger?

Well, what do you call it?

Smarter business, that's what.

I call it crooked. You took everything.

Everything, including my girl.

Your what? We were just kids.

Jock! Jock, let him alone!

You hear that, Barnes? "let him."

Let him believe in his own lies.

You took the claims for your own.

Stop it, both of you.

Young lady, you've heard his side all your life.

It's about time you heard the truth.

I put that claim in my name

To keep him from gambling his half away.

You didn't leave me nothin'!

I come back to the claim... He's drunk.

He looks at the paper, sees my name, jumps me.

Tries to tear my eyes out.

I was gonna give him half of the money.

Stop it. I can't stand this.

Jock: how can he stand himself?

He's been a loser every day of his life.

Couldn't even kill me the time he tried.

That's enough, jock!

Do you have to take everything away from him,

Even now?

No.

He asks for the same thing every time...

To be stripped down raw.

I generally try to accommodate my guests.

Willard... Are you all right?

He was right. We was just kids.

You meant a great deal to me, willard.

We was just kids, and you lied to me.

Daddy.

I want a drink, like everybody else here.

I'm gonna have a drink.

Daddy, calm down first,

And soon we'll go home.

Daddy, do you hear?

We'll go home!

♪ she's the sweetest little rosebud ♪

♪ that Texas ever knew ♪

♪ her eyes are like a diamond ♪

♪ that sparkle like the dew ♪

Bobby: did you have to destroy the man?

Jock: man?

He's gonna be the granddaddy of my baby, just like you.

Your baby will overcome that.

Now look here, daddy... No, you look.

I don't need you to lecture me.

You're not thinking straight.

All this over that... that old drunk?

He's still Pamela's father!

That's enough!

You don't tell me how to act.

This is my house.

Fine.

How does the second verse go?

Hey, let go. Let go!

Let go.

Let me take you home, daddy.

I'm not going home, mrs. Ewing.

Oh, daddy.

Mrs. ewing.

I'll get jimmy to take you home.

As long as it's not jimmy ewing.

Come on, honey, we're getting out of here.

I've gotta get jimmy to take daddy home.

I'll help him.

Well, where you all going?

Looking for proof of paternity?

Get away, j.r., you're drunk.

Well, I sure ain't alone.

Ha, ha, ha. Hi, digger.

Well, I just love these family scenes, don't you?

Picturesque, huh? Ha, ha!

I'm gonna get jimmy.

Well, now, how long you all been married?

Just about 20 minutes, right?

J.r., sober up.

Hey, digger...

How you like this marriage, boy?

I don't like it.

Well, that's the first time

You and I agreed on anything in 20 years.

Drink up, buddy.

Jimmy.

Jimmy: HUH?

Oh, jimmy... Pam. Hi. Come on up.

You've gotta take digger home.

Something wrong?

Yeah.

Digger's bad, huh?

Not very good.

You gonna come?

No. I'm gonna stay up here for a minute

And catch my breath.

I'll see you back in town later.

OK.

I'll go with you.

All right, come on.

Watch yourself.

Sorry to break up the party.

Yeah.

Hello, brother-in-law.

Hello, sue ellen.

Nice to see you.

Well, this a private showing, or can anybody watch?

Oh, hi, j.r. You're just in time.

I was about to take off all my clothes

And play lady godiva.

Whoopee! Ha ha.

Would that turn you on, my darlin'?

It might.

Let's just try.

All I want is what Pamela has.

Well, I wouldn't be so sure

Bobby's gonna give it to her.

Don't start, j.r.

Want a drink, Bobby?

We got an issue at stake here.

We're talking about... Heirs.

Talking about ewings.

Now, you take sue ellen there.

One man and one man alone

Has known that miss ewing... Shut up, j.r.!

I think "known"

Is just a little bit strong.

Knowing requires a little bit

Of steady observation and frequency.

None of which we seem to have, j.r.

Well, in contrast, now,

You take the new mrs. Ewing.

She's known... Oh, just offhand,

She's known Jack what's-his-name

And ray krebbs... J.r.!

She's trash, Bobby. Just plain tra...

It's gonna be fun.

Just plain trash.

Let him be.

Bobby, do you think you could

Take me to the house now?

Boy...

I always go too far.

Oh! I didn't hear you.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry. I'm sorry.

What I said is I always go too far.

Yes, you do.

Yeah.

Excuse me.

Wait. Look what Bobby did.

See what he did?

Without provocation, no doubt.

I don't know. I wouldn't say that.

You know, we're brothers, and brothers fight and all that.

Get off it, j.r.

Wait a minute.

Now, this has gotta stop.

It will.

Wait a minute. Wait a minute.

Bobby and I are moving out.

Oh, no, you can't do that.

It would split up the family.

Don't put that on us.

Well, now, wait a minute. We can...

You and I, see,

Have to come to an understanding, Pamela.

Oh, come on. It's too late.

No, it's not!

We can work something out.

No, we can't! We can!

No, we can't... Aah!

We lost the baby.

Pamela?

No bones broken.

Any permanent injuries?

Doc's up with her now.

We don't know if she's gonna be able

To have children.

When she's up and around,

We'll be able to tell then.

Hey, Bobby, now, you know

I wouldn't do anything

To hurt that little girl of yours.

J.r. Is your brother, Bobby.

Why did you go to the stable?

Well, I saw her car out in front,

And I... I wanted... why did you go in?

I... I wanted to apologize.

I was drunk, and I was feeling real bad, Bobby,

And I wanted to tell her how bad I felt...

Bobby... You can go back on up now.

I'll be in touch tomorrow.

I'm sorry.

No, don't say it.

It was my family that cost us.

I love you, Bobby.

I love you, too.

As soon as you're on your feet,

We're getting out of here.

I wish you wouldn't, Bobby.

Daddy, there's no way we're staying on.

I don't blame you for feeling that way.

Been a rough day for everybody.

I shouldn't have done what I did to digger.

He can't help being what he is

Any more than we can help being what we are.

Daddy, the bottom line is we lost the baby.

You know what that baby meant to me, too, Bobby.

J.r. Said he was going out to the barn to apologize.

I think he should have the benefit of the doubt.

Not from me.

Little lady...

Pamela... Us ewings, uh...

They're just not an easy family

To live with, as you found out.

We've had things our way so long

That maybe... Well, maybe it got in the way

Of our being... Just people.

I guess you don't have no reason

To really care, but...

I want to keep my family together.

I don't want to lose another son.

Was it an accident?

Yes.

Do you want to stay?

Yes, I do.

Did you push her?

I did not.

Are you sorry that she lost the baby?

Are you coming in?

In a minute.
