All language subtitles for Dallas S07E13

What are you planning to do
about your mother getting married?

I don't plan on causing trouble.

She has a chance to be happy again,
and you'd be wrong to stand in her way.

You'll be wonderful running a boutique.

I won't take handouts from you
or anybody else.

I'm my own person, make my own decisions
and that's the way it's gonna stay.

I just wanted to let you know
that I took care of everything.

- I got us an apartment.
- You what?

I want you to find me
Fallow's weak spot.

I want that man out of my life
once and for all.

KENDAL: Good morning, J.R.
J.R.: Morning.

- Is Bobby in yet?
- He's in his office, J.R.

SLY: Good morning.
- Now, hold it, hold it.

- Bobby, we got some talking to do.
BOBBY: Oh, no, not again.

What do you mean, not again? We couldn't
talk last night with Fallow there.

He was all over Mama,
kissing her in front of the family.

- All right, J.R. Yes, I saw it.
- Made my blood boil.

Treated her like she belonged to him.

Well, J.R., it bothered me too.
But it's really none of our business.

- Well, if it's not our business, whose is it?
- Mama's.

- Well, that's a hell of an attitude, Bob.
- It's the only attitude we can take.

You've seen how happy she's been.

She hasn't been like that
since Daddy was alive.

Mama marrying another man
doesn't get to you?

Well, it does.

But it's her life. If she wants to share it
with Clayton, then the decision is hers.

[MUTTERS]

I don't know.

Maybe you're right.

It'll take me a long time
to get used to that idea, I guarantee you.

Oh, listen, I set up a meeting with the cartel
for tomorrow. You wanna be there?

What? What are you talking about?

You do want them to help us bid...

-...on those offshore tracts, don't you?
- Bobby, you take care of it.

I got better things to do.

Listen, J.R. I know how you feel
about Mama marrying Clayton.

But he has been good to her.

And you and I are gonna have to put
whatever personal feelings we have aside.

I guess you're right, Bob.

I'm just being selfish.

Sly, can I see you a minute?

Yes, sir.

Shut the door, will you?

Well, I didn't get the chance to talk to you
before, uh, you left the barbecue yesterday.

How did our friend Mr. Barnes
react to Edgar Randolph?

When he saw you spending time with him,
he wanted to know who he was.

- And what'd you say?
- Exactly what you told me to.

Mr. Randolph's with the government and
had something to do with oil exploration.

I kept it as vague as I could.

Good girl.

He didn't take his eyes off the two of you
the rest of the afternoon.

Well, I'll lay odds that he's got the phone
lines to Washington tied up right now...

...trying to find out
who our Mr. Randolph is.

[CHUCKLES]

Give me that title again, Tom.

Randolph is the Deputy Assistant Secretary,
Outer Continental Shelf.

Uh, his specialty's the selling of government
leases to private industry for oil exploration.

I see.

And you said that he used to be
with a pretty substantial law firm.

So it he's working for the government now,
that means he took a hefty salary cut.

Oh, I'm sure he did.
That's not uncommon herein Washington.

Besides, from what I can find out,
Randolph has money of his own.

- He probably wouldn't have to work at all.
- Thank you, Tom.

Thank you very much.

To tell you the truth I couldn't think
of anybody else in Washington...

...whose time was worth wasting.

[LAUGHS]

Aw, no problem.
Besides I wasted a lot of years...

...when you were
in the DA's office in Dallas.

Thanks again, Tom.
You get to Dallas, look me up.

- Oh, gotta go.
- Thanks, bye.

[GROANS]

[KNOCKING ON DOOR]

Hi. I've got
an important question for you.

- Shoot.
- Mark and I are going out to dinner tonight.

- Are you and Afton free to join us?
- Oh, no.

No, that's too bad too.

Afton's gonna drag me off
to hear one of her singer friends...

...and I'd really much rather spend
the evening with Mark.

And you.

Tell you what. I'll tell you what,
I'll call her and tell her something came up.

No, I won't let you do that to Afton.

Uh, Pam, uh, when you and Bobby
were married...

...did you ever meet a man
named Edgar Randolph?

Hmm. I don't remember the name, why?

No, no reason. No.
I just saw him at the barbecue yesterday.

I know he works for the government. I was
wondering what he was doing at Southfork.

I have no idea.

- Teresa, put this in the hall.
TERESA: Yes, ma'am.

ELLIE:
Thank you.

- Am I late?
ELLIE: Just in time.

ELLIE: Lunch ought to be ready any minute.
- Good.

I am starved. Mm.

You know.
I was thinking after you left last night...

...it's silly, you staying in a hotel.

We've been spending the past months
in hotels, you must be sick of it.

I sure am. But what choice do I have?

You could stay here.

We have lots of room.

Ellie, I don't think
that's such a good idea.

I mean, we have the rest
of your family to consider.

Well, it's not as if you'd be moving
into my bedroom.

ELLIE:
Besides, you've stayed at Southfork before.

Well, things are different
between us now.

And your family knows that very well.

[LAUGHS]

Clayton, Southfork belongs to me.

If I want to invite someone to stay here,
that's just what I'm going to do.

All I'm saying is,
my marrying you already has them in shock.

I don't think I should push things
by moving into Southfork.

All I'm saying is that they've got
to get used to you living here anyway.

They might as well start right now.

Well, maybe they shouldn't have
to get used to it.

Maybe we should look
for another property somewhere.

What do you mean another property?

Some place where you and I
could live together without the family.

CLAYTON: Except when we
invite them over, of course.

You're suggesting that I move away
from Southfork?

- That's right, I am.
- Well why would I do that?

Well, for many reasons.

The boys.

The memory of Jock.

I just don't think that I could ever be
comfortable living at Southfork.

[SIGHS]

Clayton, Southfork is my home.

I could never leave it.

And if you want me...

...you'll have to make it your home too.

SUE ELLEN: John Ross, why are you
so worried about starting school tomorrow?

SUE ELLEN: Can you tell me?
Because it's my first day.

And I didn't know
what's going to happen.

[SUE ELLEN LAUGHS]

Well, a lot of things are gonna happen,
and they're all gonna be fun.

Remember how scared you were
the first day you went to camp?

- Yeah.
- Ha.

We", remember how much fun you had
once you got there? Hmm?

It's because Peter was there.

Uh, well, he was part of it.

I wish Peter would be at school.

Well, he can't, uh.

He has to go to school too,
and camp's over.

Could Peter come over sometime
and go swimming with me in the pool?

Well, um.
he's probably very busy himself.

We can ask him, couldn't we?

Maybe.

We'll see.

I miss Peter, Mommy.

I know you do, sweetheart.

You'll see him again.

Right now it's time for you
to go to sleep.

You'll see him soon.

Good night, Mommy.

Good night. Sweet dreams.

Leave the light on, Mommy.

Please?

Okay. Good night, sweetheart.

J.R.:
Sue Ellen.

How is he? Still nervous?

He'll be all right. First day of school
is always scary.

- Is he asleep?
- Not yet.

Uh, I'll tuck him in, then I have to go
to the office for a meeting.

J.R., I wanna know something.

What are you planning to do
about your mother's getting married?

What kind of a question is that?

I saw the look on your face last night.

What could I do?
They're the two people involved.

That's exactly right.

But I know how you feel about
the marriage. And I know you.

I know that you can cause an awful lot
of trouble if you set your mind to it.

Mama made a decision, I respect that.
I don't plan on causing her any trouble.

Your mother has lost an awful lot
in the past couple of years.

She has a chance to be happy once again.
You'd be very wrong to stand in her way.

You didn't hear what I said.

I told you, I won't interfere in her life.

For her sake, I hope you're not lying.

This time.

[CHATTERING]

The way I see it, it's a prime situation...

...but it's too expensive
for the Ewings to go it alone.

Offshore oil never has come cheap.

Well, that's the point.

- Here you are.
- Thank you, honey.

- So, what do you think, Jordan?
- I don't know, Bobby.

What's worrying you,
potential output of the field?

- No, it's not that.
- Then what is it?

It's a lot of eggs to be putting
into one basket.

Andy, we'd all be sharing the risk equally,
25 percent apiece.

It's still a lot of money.

I have a feeling that's not what's bothering
you. So why don't you talk to me?

Look, I can't speak for Jordan.

But frankly, I'm not too anxious to join
forces with the Ewing brothers again.

ANDY:
Not after all that happened last year.

And I don't believe Marilee is either.

That's fair enough. What about you?

I could make peace with you and J.R.

You've both apologized
in your own fashion.

Then join us. If Andy and Marilee
don't want to, we can get others.

I got a different problem.

See, you and J.R. are still pretty young.

I'm not anymore.

I take home a comfortable
two to three million a year now.

But if we were to get
into this offshore deal with you...

...I'd have to put up so much capital,
I could jeopardize my whole company.

- And it something went wrong...
- I don't see anything going wrong with this.

Bobby, you know as well as I do...

...offshore exploration is the riskiest
kind of drilling in the oil business.

JORDAN:
I just can't take that chance.

All right. No sense beating a dead horse.

I'm sorry.

So am I.

Not only would this be
a money-making situation...

...it would have been a nice way
for us to start mending fences between us.

[KNOCKING ON DOOR]

Come in.

Oh.

Thanks for coming, Harry.

I might as well get straight to the point.
I know you wanna get home.

Now don't rush yourself, J.R.
My time is yours.

[J.R. CHUCKLES]

Is your contact at San Angelo still good?

Oh, uh, Hank Jamison? Yeah, why?

Well, I want some information from
down there. Remember Clayton Farlow...

-...used to own the Southern Cross Ranch?
- Sure do.

Well, I want a very discreet investigation
made into his background.

Yes, sir. Clayton Fallow.

Learn everything there is to know
about the man.

I'll get in touch with Hank right away.
I'm sure he'll help us again.

Thank you, thank you.

Oh, say, Harry.

Make it clear to him that I'm not particularly
interested in the man's charity work.

[KNOCKING ON DOOR]

Who is it?

It's me, Bobby.

- Good morning.
- Ha-ha, what are you doing here so early?

It's a surprise.
I wanna take you some place.

- I'm not dressed yet.
- I see you're not.

- That's why you have to get dressed.
- I'm barely awake.

BOBBY: You're awake enough to get Charlie
off to school.

Uh, yeah, and it took all of my energy
to do it.

- Aw.
- Now I just wanna wake up real slow...

...and get relaxed and-- Coffee?

- Yes, thank you.
- That's mine.

You get another cup as soon
as you get ready.

Bobby, this is a dreadful thing to do
to someone early in the morning.

Well, we Ewings aren't real famous
for our kindness, I guess. Come on, go, go.

[JENNA LAUGHS
AND THEN WHINES]

SUE ELLEN: Look, John Ross,
there's Miss Kelly, your teacher.

How do you know that's my teacher?

I met her at an orientation meeting.
Isn't she pretty?

[CHILDREN CHATTERING]

- Hi, Mrs. Ewing.
SUE ELLEN: Hi, Miss Kelly.

And you must be John Ross. Well,
I'm really happy to meet you, John Ross.

Me too.

Well, why don't we go in
and see your new classroom, okay?

Bye-bye, sweetheart.
You have a wonderful day, all right?

- All right. Bye.
- Bye.

[BELL RINGING]

[CAR HORN BLARING]

SUE ELLEN: Peter, what are you doing here?
- It's John Ross's first day at school.

You told me which one
he was going to, so I came by.

But someone could see you.

I miss you,
I wanna spend some time with you.

- Uh, Peter, I can't.
- Sure you can. John Ross is in school.

It's a great day to spend together.

- But I have to pick him up at noon.
- That's perfect, I'm free until then too.

- Don't you have classes?
- Nope, not until after lunch.

Come on, I've got a great place
where we can be alone together.

- Follow me in the car.
- Uh, no, I really don't think I should do that.

- Okay, then I'll go with you.
- No, um.

- All right, I'll follow you.
- Good.

Sorry, I'm moving right away. Sony.

Yeah, any calls?

No, I knew that was coming in. No,
that's not important, not really. What else?

Yeah.

And that's it?

- Okay.
- I've only got a minute.

Okay, I'll call you back.

I checked Randolph.
I know what he does and where he's from.

I just don't know
what J.R.'s doing with him.

I don't know what he does either.

- Doesn't he come to the office?
- Well, sure, J.R. has meetings with him.

But he hasn't let me in. He always closes
the door and tells me to hold all calls.

- You don't usually take notes?
- Not when Edgar Randolph's there.

Well, that sounds pretty secretive to me.

If J.R. won't let his own secretary
know what's going on...

...that means it must be important.

So if he's not gonna let us in
on his little secret...

...we'd better find out for ourselves.

- Well, I'll try.
- You do that.

I think I better get a move on.

Not too good of an idea for you to be seen
with a man by the name of Barnes.

Peter, you have to realize
that you just can't pop up like that.

Supposing somebody saw us?

You should've shown me
more consideration.

Oh, more consideration. What about me?

I have missed you, believe it or not.
I haven't talked to you since--

- The barbecue.
- Yes, since the kiss.

And don't tell me that kiss
was one-sided.

Maybe it wasn't, but it terrified me.

Peter, look.
You know I have feelings for you.

But they're the kind that I shouldn't have
and I don't wanna have.

Well I'm glad you have those feelings.

This whole thing's so insane.

Don't you know all the problems
it can cause?

Look...

...I don't wanna be a problem.

I love you.

[SIGHS]

Peter, the mere fact that you
showed up here today causes problems.

Don't you realize
that I'm known around here?

How would I ever explain you to anybody
that might see us together? Hmm?

I see your point.

- You do?
- Yes.

Yes, I do.

And I promise you...

...that I'll never put you
into a situation like this again.

I promise you, okay?

Fact of the matter is, the oil industry
is in a state of flux at the moment.

When the world market
plunged last year...

...it plunged so fast that every oil man
in the country lost his stomach.

Some independents lost more than that.

They were swallowed up
for pennies on the dollar...

...by larger outfits
who were in a better cash position.

- Are you following all this?
- Not really.

- Well let me explain again. You see--
- I wish you wouldn't.

Do you realize the only thing we've talked
about since you picked me up is business?

I thought that's the subject
closest to your heart.

I think I'm going too fast.

I think I'm trying to learn
too much too soon.

Besides, what happened to all that talk
about flying me away to exotic places?

Eating mangoes on sunswept beaches.

First of all, I said nothing about eating
mangoes. I can't stand mangoes.

Secondly, I thought the only talk
you were interested in was business.

- Don't be silly.
- I'm not being silly, I'm serious.

[PEOPLE CHATTERING]

- Okay.
- Okay, what?

Okay, I get your message.

Maybe I can find a medium
between business...

...and, uh, the other things.

Well, that's not a half bad idea.

- So what do we talk about first?
- Oh, the other things.

Well, I can't tell you
how happy I am to oblige.

[BOBBY SIGHS]

Well, what do you think?

Oh, hello, Mr. Ewing.

BOBBY: Hello.
LANE: How nice to see you again.

Thank you. Do you like it?

[PHONE RINGING]

- Well, I--
- Oh, excuse me.

Uh, that's a very important call.

LANE: Uh, you just look around,
make yourself at home.

This is it.

- This is what?
- The surprise.

You'd do very well in a place like this.
You've got style and flair.

Oh, I see.

You don't like me being a waitress
where I can make terrific tips.

But it's fine if I'm a salesgirl
in a ladies' shop.

No, Jenny. You got it all wrong.
We're not gonna get you a job here.

BOBBY:
We're gonna buy the place for you.

What?

It'll be yours to operate
any way you want to.

You'll be wonderful running a boutique.

- I don't believe this.
BOBBY: What, you don't like it?

No, ha, I don't.

Well, then we'll find another place.
There's a lot of them for sale.

JENNA:
You really don't understand, do you?

I will not be a kept woman.

A kept woman?
What are you talking about?

What do you think we're talking about
right now?

I won't take handouts from you
or anybody else.

I'm my own person.
I make my own decisions.

- That's the way it's gonna stay.
- Let me explain.

- I'm going home.
BOBBY: You got it all wrong.

- It's a long walk.
- I'll take a cab.

Well, Bobby eating out this evening,
is he?

No, he called. He'd just be a little late.

Oh, and how about
your new man, Mama?

I'm kind of surprised Clayton
isn't hovering around tonight.

Please, don't start, J.R.

[J.R. CHUCKLES]

You two aren't having
any problems, are you?

No, J.R. But if we were,
we'd handle them ourselves.

Are you disappointed, J.R.?

Look who I found outside.

- Hello, Clayton. Just in time for dinner.
- It's almost ready.

- Shall we go in?
- Sure, let's do.

CLAYTON:
Wait, just a minute.

Before we sit down, I have a little present
I'd like to give to Miss Ellie.

Now if nobody minds, I'd like to give it to
her here and now, while we're all together.

A present?

Oh, Clayton.

I, uh--

- I can't accept that.
CLAYTON: Of course you can.

- We're gonna get married.
- Yes, but we, uh--

We have things to talk about,
to work out.

Ellie...

...there's no problem in the world
that can't be solved...

...by two people who really love
each other.

And that's what we have here.
Two people...

...who really love each other.

Oh, Clayton.

Come on.

Let's eat.

[DOOR SLAMS]

[PHONE RINGS]

- Yeah, hello.
- Harry? J-R- Ewing here.

You got anything on Clayton Fallow yet?

No, sir. I'm waiting on Hank
to call me back.

Did it ever occur to you to call him?

Things are happening pretty fast
around here. I can't wait.

I know he's working on it.

Well, when are we gonna
have something?

I don't know.

An investigation like this
takes a little time.

Harry, I don't want excuses,
I want information, you understand?

All right, J.R.

- I'll bring over whatever Hank's get.
- You do that.

PAMELA: Afton, this is a wonderful dinner.
Why don't you cook more often?

AFTON:
Cliff doesn't like my cooking.

He thinks food has to come out
of Chinese canons to be any good.

Told you your brother wasn't all there.

Mark, what do you know about
offshore drilling?

- A little.
- Well, the reason I ask is...

...I heard the government
is gonna open up...

-...some offshore tracts.
- Really?

They're gonna start taking bids
on leases pretty soon.

Is that something Barnes-Wentworth
should be into?

I was thinking we might.

Offshore tracts. You have any idea
what kind of money you're talking about?

Yeah, I know. I know it's expensive.

It's enormously expensive. More than
our companies should prudently invest.

Isn't that why we became partners?
So we could handle bigger things together?

- That's right.
- When you talk offshore tracts...

...you're talking
a whole different ballgame.

I thought we could all ante a portion
and get into something really phenomenal.

Sweetheart,
aren't you even gonna taste it?

Afton, come on.
don't change the subject.

Mark, what do you think?

We just got into business together.
We're getting to know one another.

The investment you're talking about...

...is too much of a commitment
to make at this point.

Yes, but...

...I was only suggesting that you
not close your mind to the subject.

Oh, I'll leave it open a crack.

See, that's all I wanted to know.

[AFTON SIGHS]

Oh, this is good.

Afton, it's terrific.

[AFTON LAUGHS]

Signor Sidoni, Katherine Wentworth.

Hello. signurina. How are you?

I'm fine, thank you. And thank you again
for finding me that birth certificate.

As I told you, I had great respect
for your father.

And I'm happy to be able
to help his beautiful daughter.

Um, Signor Sidoni,
there is one other thing.

I'm trying to locate a man. An Italian citizen
by the name of Renaldo Marchetta.

Now, the information I have on him
is about 13 years old.

I know he was married to an American
at about that time.

Her name was Jenna Wade
and she was from Texas.

And the wedding took place here,
in Home?

Yes, I think so.

Renaldo Marchetta.
It is not much to begin with...

...but let me see what I can find out.

Oh, I'd really appreciate it.

I can't tell you what it would
mean to me to find that man.

- We will do our best, signorina.
- Thank you.

- Good bye .
- Goodbye.

[PHONE CLICKS]

You're gonna have a good day.

[CHILDREN CHATTERING]

JOHN ROSS: Bye.
- Bye, sweetheart.

- He's gonna be just fine.
SUE ELLEN: I'm sure.

KELLY: Thank you. Bye-bye.
SUE ELLEN: Bye.

Excuse me.

Hi.

I told you we can't meet like this.

Don't worry, I was very discreet
about putting the note on the car.

You promised me that you'd never put me
in a situation like this again. Here we are.

I just wanted to let you know
that I took care of everything.

I got us an apartment.

- You what?
- I rented us an apartment.

You've gotta be out of your mind.

What? I thought you'd be
thrilled to death about it.

- Peter, you absolutely amaze me.
- Hey, I'm sorry.

I thought it would be somewhere nice
for us to meet.

We can't go to my dorm.
You're afraid somebody's gonna see us.

So you found us a place where we can
shack up from 9:30 until noon?

I didn't mean it that way.

[SIGHS]

Peter...

...when I said we couldn't meet outside...

...I meant we couldn't meet at all.

I don't want this relationship.

As attracted as I may be to you,
I can't see you again.

Well, you're gonna have to see me again.

Sue Ellen...

...I love you.

How am I gonna get through
to you, Peter?

I can't have someone like you in my life.

I want you out of it.

Is that clear?

And don't you follow me,
and don't you pop up.

Just stay away.

[TIRES SQUEAL]

New York was just fine.
How about you and Jenna?

Oh, we're getting along great.

I like the fact that Christopher's
got Charlie to play with--

CLAYTON: Hello, Bobby, Ray.
BOBBY: Clayton, how are you?

- Mr. Fallow, nice to see you, sir.
- Gentlemen, your table is ready.

Thank you.

BOBBY:
Doesn't look like J.R. is gonna show up.

I'm not surprised.
The two of us never hit if 0”.

WAITRESS:
Would you care to order your drinks?

Uh, scotch on the rocks.

WAITRESS: Cassie, we need drinks here.
CASSIE: Of course.

Well I do appreciate you two, uh.
showing up.

- Your drinks will be a moment.
- Thank you.

BOBBY:
Clayton, what's on your mind?

Well, ah, I'll get right to the point.

I'd like to know you feel
about my marrying your mother.

CLAYTON: I have an idea,
but I'd like to hear it from you.

Uh, it there's any problem, I think we ought
to get it out in the open, talk about it.

I love your mother.
I believe you know that.

And I believe
that she'd be happy with me.

So, uh, why don't we all put our cards
on the table...

...and then we'll all know exactly
where we stand.

Well, Clayton, to be real honest
with you...

...it's hard for me to think of Mama
with anybody other than Daddy.

- Nobody will ever take Jock's place.
- I respect that.

And frankly, I don't want to.

What I wanna do...

...is make my own place in her life.

But on the other hand,
Mama has a right to be happy.

And you do care for her,
we've all seen that.

You've taken wonderful care of her
the last few months.

Are you trying to say
that you won't fight the marriage?

I'm trying to tell you that it's hard for me
to see another man in Mama's life.

But if it has to be...

...then I'm glad it's gonna be you.

Thank you, Bobby.

Ray, what about you?

[MUTTERS]

I appreciate your asking me, but
I don't see how I have very much to say.

Of course you do. Why not?

Jock was my daddy,
but Miss Ellie was not my mother.

Ray, whatever you think...

...I know for a fact,
Miss Ellie considers you her son.

And your feelings are just
as important to me as Bobby's and J.R.'s.

Appreciate your saying that.

- All right.
WAITRESS: Yes, your party's here, sir.

J.R.:
Thank you.

Well, speaking of J.R.

- Clayton, Ray, Bob.
- Hi, J.R.

[J.R. CLEARS THROAT]

- Well, I'm, uh, sorry I'm late.
- No matter, glad you came.

I wasn't going to. I changed my mind.

I'm glad you did.

In fact I changed my mind
about a couple of things.

Clayton, I want you to know...

...I don't have anything
against you personally.

I love my mother, I love her very much.

And it's been my concern for her well-being
that's pitted me against you.

You think that, uh, I don't care
about her well-being?

It's taken me a long time,
but now I know you do.

- I want my Mama to be happy.
- No more than I do.

Well, if you can make her happy.
I won't stand in the way of marriage.

[SIGHS]

- Something for you, Mr. Ewing?
- Yes.

I'd like the finest bottle of champagne
you have in the house.

- I think we have something to celebrate.
- Well, what do you know?

[KNOCKING ON DOOR]

Who is it?

Um, me.

[BOBBY TITTERS]

I was in the neighborhood.

Oh, come on, now. I didn't come to fight.
I came to apologize.

- I'll bet.
- No, crisscross my heart, I hope to die.

You know, Bobby, I really don't think
you understand why I was upset with you.

Oh, no. I understand.

- I just don't agree.
- Oh, you don't.

No, I don't. But I have come to a decision.

If you wanna wait on tables...

...for a bunch of beer-guzzling,
rowdy, dirty cowboys...

...all night, every night,
then that's your decision.

- Is that right?
- That's right.

If you wanna
forget your upbringing...

...ignore the fact that you're
a beautiful, talented...

...lovely lady with a lot of class...

...then I won't say another word,
I promise.

- Good.
- Yeah.

- So how about dinner?
- Dinner?

Yeah, I thought we'd go out
for something.

[JENNA SCOFFS]

I don't think so, Bobby. Goodbye.

[KNOCKING ON DOOR]

What is it?

If tonight's out of the question,
are you busy tomorrow night?

Call me in the morning, we'll discuss it.

Sorry I'm so late, J.R.

What happened to you? I thought I was
gonna have to camp out here all night.

My friend's having a hell of a time trying
to get people to talk.

- Let me see what you got.
- Now, it's not much. Here's your copy.

But it seems he lived all his life
in San Angelo, and at Southern Cross.

- He just sold it about six months ago.
- Yeah, I know that.

Did you know that that was
his second house?

The first one was destroyed in a fire
about 20 years ago.

Mm-hm, mm-hm.
Sue Ellen told me all about it.

I guess you know about his wife, Amy.
She died in the fire.

Everyone was away at the time.

Mr. Farlow, his son Dusty.
and his sister wasn't there either.

- Who's sister?
- Clayton's.

- I didn't know he had a sister.
- He sure does. He! name's Jessica.

- And she lived with him?
- She grew up with him in San Angelo.

That's all I know.

Nobody seemed to know
too much about her.

Or, uh, wouldn't say.

Well that's strange,
I never heard about her.

I wonder if he! ever mentioned her
to Sue Ellen.

- Well, we just have to keep on digging.
- You do that, Harry.

I want you to find me
Fallow's weak spot.

I'm gonna get that man out of my life
once and for all. Now go on.

BOBBY: I'm sorry, I just don't see
what's so wrong with me wanting Jenna...

-...to quit her barhop job.
- Neither can I.

What is it that you want her to do?

I'm not against her working,
I'm not against anybody working.

I just like her to do something
with a little more style and class.

All Bob is saying is he doesn't want her
working at some beer joint.

I can't say I blame him.
I wouldn't want you there either.

I see. In other words, you want her working
at something that you would approve of.

Something that's a little closer
to the kind of person she is.

That's why I thought it was a good idea
to buy the boutique.

Bobby...

...you do not understand at all.

You want her to work at something
with class and style.

You tell her her job isn't good enough.

I mean, do you heal yourself?

I mean, it's like after all these years
that Jenna has worked...

...to support herself and Charlie...

...doing the best she knew how,
it's not good enough in your eyes.

- That's not what I meant at all.
- Okay.

I know that that isn't what you meant.

I want you to see
where she's coming from.

You can't buy something like that
for somebody.

The truth is, honey.
It sounds like you're trying to buy her.

She needs to do something on her own.

Donna, this would be on her own.

I wasn't gonna buy it.
I was gonna finance it.

She was gonna pay me back.
It was a strict business deal.

Month after month after month.
I had lawyers drawing up the papers.

- Well, did you tell her?
- She never gave me a chance.

She just left in a huff.

Well, you insulted her.
You hurt her feelings.

[SIGHS]

Well, I tell you,
I don't know what to do now.

Nothing.

Absolutely nothing.

She may be right.
Come on, eat your breakfast.

What do you think, Christopher?

[MUMBLES]

Well, is there anyone else there
that might know?

Okay. Thank you anyway.

SUE ELLEN: Morning, Lucy.
- Hi.

Aren't you going out today?

No, I'm just gonna stay around here.

Have you heard from Peter?

What?

Have you heard from Peter,
John Ross' counselor.

Uh, no. No, why should I?

It's really weird. I've been trying to call him,
to see if he wanted to come over and swim.

Or just spend the day with me,
but they said he's gone.

Uh, gone from where? School?

I called the dorm
and they said he's gone.

Well, uh, maybe he just went away
for the weekend.

No, they said he took all of his things
and moved out the other night.

Well, he probably, uh.
just moved off campus, that's all.

Sue Ellen, he didn't just leave the dormitory,
he left school.

He did?

Yeah, he hasn't been to his classes
for a few days.

[SIGHS]

Anyway, I just wanted to know
if you knew anything.

No, no.

How would I?

[DOORBELL RINGS]

JENNA:
Thank you for coming over.

Thank you for accepting
my dinner invitation.

There's something I'd like
to talk about first.

All right. What?

I've been thinking
about this boutique idea.

[BOBBY MUMBLES]

Uh, this shop you want me to have.

I've been thinking about it,
and I think we should just drop the idea.

I don't. It's a good idea.

Just because it came from you
doesn't mean I should discard it.

I guess there's some logic
in there somewhere.

Oh, Bobby, would you just hear me out,
and have a seat?

Oh, uh, sure.

[JENNA SIGHING]

As much as I hate to admit it,
you're right.

I have been brought up with a certain kind
of style or whatever you wanna call it.

And I would be happier in a boutique
than a bar.

But, um...

...I still can't take this from you.

- Jenna, it you would just let me explain.
- Would you just let me finish.

All right.

Now.

So...

...I'll agree to, um, accept the boutique.

Under one condition.

That you act merely as a banker.

- You, uh, want me to finance you.
- Yes.

Well, why didn't I think of that?

[LAUGHS]

If you finance me,
I'll pay you back every month.

Hmm.

- So you just want me to give you a loan.
- That's right.

And I want you to draw up papers stating
that I'm obliged to pay every single penny.

Ah, or I'd foreclose on you.

Oh, Bobby, I'm serious.
It's the only way I can have you help me.

Well, you drive a hard bargain.

- Do you agree?
- Oh, absolutely.

I think we can probably have those papers
drawn up like that.

You wanna shake on it,
in the meantime? Partner?

There.

Well, now that the business part
of this meeting is over...

...come here.

If you do business like this
all the time, partner...

...I am gonna make sure that you
don't do it with anybody else but me.

[PAMELA LAUGHS]

I don't think you have anything
to worry about.

With everybody else, I'm tough as steel.

Yeah, I've seen that side of you.

I've only got two
more things to finish, we can go.

- Oh, no. No, no, no. Business hours are over.
- Two more.

Number one, we go out the door.
Number two, we go into the restaurant.

PAMELA:
Hmm.

CLIFF:
Pam? Pam.

Oh, Mark, I'm glad you're here.

You know those offshore drilling tracts
I was telling you about?

- Is he always so sensitive?
- Ha.

You know who's gonna be bidding
on them?

Ewing Oil.

Maybe if we just slip out,
he won't even notice.

I doubt it, but let's try.

Yeah, Bobby.

Yeah, you know, uh, Bobby.
he had a meeting with the cartel.

How would you know about that?

CLIFF: Well, I know. Trust me.
Uh, where you going?

To dinner. I thought we weren't
in competition with the Ewings.

CLIFF:
We're not.

The point is, that if J.R. wants
something, why, it's bound to be good.

Well, I thought I was talking
to somebody.

All right, Sly. I'll check these out.
You can work on them tomorrow.

- Good night.
- Thank you, J.R.

- Where's J.R.? Is he still here?
- Uh, I don't know.

SLY: Mr. Fallow, you can't go in there.
- The hell I can't.

- What's going on out here?
CLAYTON: I'm gonna see you.

What the hell do you mean
poking around in my life?

J.R.: What are you talking about?
- Sending people to investigate me.

- I didn't send anybody anywhere.
- You are a liar.

I got a call from the sheriff that somebody's
been snooping around in my affairs.

- The only person that could be is you.
- Please. Let me explain.

I was a fool to follow that line
of yours yesterday.

You're just as devious as you ever were.

Just give me a chance to explain,
would you please?

You'd have done the same
under the circumstances.

J.R.:
I told you at lunch, I love my Mama.

And I'd do anything in the world
to see that she's sate.

You don't think
that she'd be safe with me, huh?

Clayton, you been around
the family a long time.

But we really don't know
that much about you.

The reason I was having you
checked out was to make sure...

...that Mama didn't have any surprises
after she married you. That's all.

When are you gonna get it through
that thick skull that I love your mother?

And all I want is a chance
to make her happy.

And I'm gonna have that chance.
Whether you like it or not.

J.R., are you all right?

I'm fine.

That's a very angry man.

He sure is.

And a man who gets that angry
over a little snooping around...

...must have something
interesting to hide. Ha.

Wonder what that is.
