Original subtitles

I'm gonna take Ewing Oil into the bidding.

But you told Bobby that--

What I told Bobby is between him and me honey.

- You just take care of that nitwit Barnes. - I love you.

I really love you.

With your help, I'll know how to top his bid.

Do you realize what an incredible setup this is?

Yes, sir. I think I do.

This could ruin me.

You have my word. Your secret is safe with me.

LUCY: Maybe we should wait for Sue Ellen.

Well, does your crystal ball tell you what time she'll be home?

No, but she didn't call to say she wouldn't be here.

- Well, I don't mind waiting. - Well, I do.

Between her headaches and all that charity work she's gotten into...

...who knows when she'll come home.

At least there's three of us at the dinner table this evening.

Well, didn't you enjoy our meal together last night, just you and me?

Not exactly. I wish you had brought Jenna over here to eat.

I wasn't having dinner with Jenna, last night. I was with Pam.

Don't tell me you two are starting to see each other again?

No, but even if we were, it wouldn't concern you, would it?

She just wanted to talk to me about Cliff.

He's interested in those offshore tracks. He wants in on the bidding.

Tried to set up a partnership meeting with the cartel.

- Was he successful? - No more than I was.

I don't understand. What's that got to do with you and Pam?

Nothing. She's just worried that Cliff is all caught up in the Barnes-Ewing feud again.

He wants to beat us out of that deal.

I told her as far as we're concerned, the Barnes-Ewing feud is over. Am I right?

Oh, it is for me.

Unless that idiot wants to keep it going. I mean, that's his business.

Bobby, we're not gonna get any edge on that man, anyhow.

All those government bids are sealed. You know that.

That's what I told her.

So Barnes is gonna start drilling offshore, is he?

Yeah, he's really hit the big-time.

He would never have considered anything as costly as that...

...if he hadn't teamed up with that ex-wife of yours and her boyfriend.

You're way out of line, J.R.

Oh, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to offend.

You just have a natural talent for it.

- Hi, Sue Ellen. - Hi.

Nice of you to show up, honey.

I have your salad ready, Mrs. Ewing. Shall I bring it in?

No, thank you, Teresa. I'm really not hungry. I'm going to my room.

Are you all right, Sue Ellen?

Yes, thank you, Bobby. I'm just not hungry, that's all.

Boy, I tell you, that woman...

If it's not one thing it's another.

Teresa, I'll have some wine, please.

[IMITATING AIRPLANE NOISE]

- Are you still awake? - I wasn't sleepy yet.

- Well, I have a surprise for you. - You do?

I found a friend of yours.

Peter, where is he? Is he here?

No, no, he's home at his apartment...

...but he's okay. That's the important thing.

But why did he run away?

Well, sweetheart, he didn't actually run away...

...he just had to he himself for a while.

He didn't even call or anything.

I know, sweetheart...

...but it's important that you understand that grownups...

...they have to be alone sometimes, it's important to them.

But I really miss him, Mommy.

I wanna see him. Can I see him?

Of course you can and soon.

But right now, you have to go to sleep.

Mommy?

I'm really glad that you found Peter, aren't you?

Good night, sweetheart.

For someone trying to keep up the appearance of a marriage...

...you're not doing very well, darling.

If I wanted to talk, I would've had dinner with you.

- Why didn't you show up? - I don't think that's any of your business.

You forget our traditions. We always have dinner together.

You could've called and told us you'd be late. Where were you?

This conversation is aggravating. I'm tired and I wanna go to bed.

I think I have the right to ask these questions. You're still my wife, darling.

Only on paper, and you have no right to question where I was.

Why you-- You're talking now like you were out with somebody else tonight.

What difference does it make if I was?

Look, we have your kind of marriage now, a J.R. Ewing marriage, open and free.

Either one of us can do whatever we please.

I don't wanna get you upset. I am not accusing you, you know that.

I don't know what you're doing, J.R., ever.

Who are these for?

You.

I was hoping you'd come back.

Do you think flowers can change what happened with you and Marilee Stone?

Nothing happened with Marilee Stone.

- You expect me to believe that? - Well, nothing happened.

Cliff, I have had it with you.

I just can't take it anymore.

I mean, I have had to put up with your moods, with your depressions.

And the way you talk to me, you just dismiss me in front of other people.

Look, now, don't you think that you're exaggerating just a little bit?

Cliff, you never think of me.

You just ignore my feelings.

I think of you.

I was supposed to open at the club the other night.

Where were you? Not with me.

No, you were here at our home ready to hop into bed with Marilee Stone.

- Afton-- - Take your hands off me.

The only reason I came back was to get my things and leave.

Oh, well, that really takes the cake. Okay, baby, you do just that, you split.

That shows how much you really care.

How much I care.

I walk into my house and find you with another woman.

Nothing happened.

Well, if I hadn't walked in, it would have.

Oh, you mean, like, what did happen between you and Gil Thurman.

It is very unfair of you to bring that up.

That was a whole different thing.

Yeah, that was different.

You did sleep with Gil Thurman. I didn't sleep with Marilee Stone.

You know why I slept with him?

So you could get that refinery you wanted so much.

The only reason I let that man touch me was for you.

Because I loved you.

Oh, I see. So, what you're saying is that...

...if you're sleeping with someone for business, it's okay.

No, that's not what I mean.

But, Afton. that's what you are saving.

Marilee was here on business.

And I repeat, I did not sleep with her.

Don't you think it's time we made up?

Cliff, don't touch me.

You don't want me to touch you?

No.

You want me ever to touch you?

Not now. That's for sure.

But how could he just disappear like that?

It is not he disappear, signorina, it is that I am not capable to locate him.

I went to his places he worked.

It is seem no one else to know were he is.

Renaldo Marchetta worked?

You mean, he married Jenna Wade for her money?

The only thing I know, signorina, that he worked. He had a talent of losing his jobs.

But I thought he was a count. Didn't he have any money of his own?

He may have it. But if he did, he lost it.

I really wish I could find that man.

You're sure he's not in Home?

The only thing I know, signorina...

...that I talked to people, including the cousin of his.

And it seem that Marchetta, he's left Italy around about three to four years...

...and no one has heard from him since.

Well, then I guess that's that.

I'm sorry. I tried to do all I can, signorina.

Oh, I know. And thank you very much. I appreciate everything you've done.

If there is anything else I could do, please don't hesitate to call.

I won't. But I think, right now. I've accomplished everything I can here.

It's time for me to go back to Dallas.

The beauty of Home will be diminished by the loss of your beautiful face.

You have such a lovely way with words.

Thank you, signorina.

[PHONE RINGING]

LUCY: Don't get up, I've got it.

Hello?

PETER: Lucy?

Peter, is that you?

Sue Ellen, it's Peter.

Peter, what happened? We've all been worried about you.

Oh, nothing happened, really. I just moved out of my dorm, that's all.

But they said you dropped out of school too.

That was only a couple of days.

I had some things I had to do, so I took 011101 a little while.

- But you're okay? - Oh, sure, yeah.

Well, listen, I'd really like to see you. Why don't you come over?

Oh, I really can't right now.

I didn't mean right now, maybe Saturday.

The whole family is gonna be here. And John Ross is dying to see you.

Yeah?

Well...

Yeah, I'd like to see him too.

Sure, I'll come over.

Great and bring your swim trunks.

We'll probably spend the whole day out by the pool.

Good enough. Sounds great. Thanks, Lucy.

You're welcome.

Hey, I'm really glad you're okay.

Bye.

Well, well, well. so he's back in the world again.

That's nice.

Well, you don't seem to care very much.

Of course I do.

I like Peter. John Ross adores him.

J.R.: Would you read that back to me, Sly.

“And when you examine the prospectus...

...you'll agree that the tax benefits in this case...

...far outweigh the potential negative cash flow.“

All right, sign it J.R. and inquire about his wife, Betty, 01 something. It's in the files.

J.R., I gotta talk to you.

All right, I just have one more letter left to do. What do you need?

I'm having a terrible time trying to find us a partner for this offshore drilling.

- Oh, yeah, who you tried? - I've tried everybody.

I've been thinking, maybe we're making a mistake going in on this.

Bob, you're not getting cold feet are you?

No, but it's risky. There's no doubt about that.

If my memory serves me right...

...you insisted that we needed new sources of revenue.

We do, but there are sources a lot less risky than that.

Well, I don't see any harm in trying to find others too...

...but don't stop looking for new partners. I know it's a risky business...

...but offshore fields could make us a hell of a lot of money.

I'm not gonna stop looking.

If I can't find somebody to share the risk...

...I don't think Ewing Oil ought to go in on the bidding alone.

Bobby, we'd he feels to go into this thing alone.

- As long as we agree. - All right, bye.

Are you ready for the last letter, J.R.?

No, no, we'll do that later.

I want you to take a note to yourself.

I want you to get in touch with Cliff Barnes, again, let him know that...

...I'm so sure about these offshore fields.

If push comes to shove...

...I'll take Ewing Oil into the bidding alone.

But you just told Bobby that--

What I told Bobby is between him and me, honey.

You just take care of that nitwit Barnes.

[KNOCKING ON DOOR]

PAMELA: Yes?

Your brother just came in looking pretty worn out.

Oh, thanks.

- Well, where've you been all day? - Hi, Pam.

Is that my answer?

What? Oh, where was I?

- That was my question. - Yeah.

Well, hey, I can take the day off, can't I?

The name of this company is Barnes- Wentworth and I do happen to be Barnes.

Sorry, I just wondered where you were.

Well, the truth of the matter is, I spent the day making up with Afton...

...because she's a little bit upset about the other night.

She had every reason to be.

And that's all we're gonna talk about that.

Okay, fine.

There is something I wanna discuss with you, about that offshore thing.

I talked to Mark about it again.

And it's very risky and so expensive, Cliff.

What are you worried about?

You weren't gonna join me, I decided not to push it.

I don't want unhappy partners.

What I'm worried about is you.

Even if you should win the bidding, you'd have to start drilling.

And the cost of offshore exploration is astronomical.

You could go broke before you hit a drop of oil.

I know that. Yeah, well. I've been checking into the facts.

And I realize that although the potential is phenomenal...

...maybe the risks are a little bit over my head.

Well, they are, if you try and go it alone.

And the other independents are afraid to go along with you.

The cartel may be right this time.

Well, I am gonna check it out.

Good.

- Okay. Good. - Okay.

J.R.: No, thank you, Teresa. No more potatoes for me.

TERESA: Yes, sir. BOBBY: Watching your weight again, J.R.?

Jenna, you're getting to be a regular fixture here and a welcome one at that.

Why, thank you.

How's your shop doing? Bobby said you cleared out all the old merchandise.

Every dress, every skirt, every blouse. It's down to the bare walls.

And now she's wallpapering those.

You must be exhausted.

It's a lot harder than waiting on tables, but it's more fun.

She's taken the weekend off and coming here tomorrow.

Oh, great.

She's gonna bring Charlie and I'm picking up Christopher.

Sue Ellen, you'll be here with John Ross. The kids will have a wonderful time.

Actually, I was thinking about flying down to the gulf.

I wouldn't mind getting out of Dallas for a while.

Oh, no.

Come on, Sue Ellen, that can wait till another weekend.

It'd be nice to have the family together for a change. Donna and Ray might show up.

I don't know.

And Peter's gonna be here, remember?

Oh, yes.

Finally turned up, did he?

Yes, he's gonna come over and see John Ross.

Don't you wanna be here, Sue Ellen?

Peter doesn't need me to play with John Ross.

Oh, I'm sure he'd love to see you.

Please stay. We haven't had much of a chance to get to know each other.

Well, I'll see how I feel in the morning.

BOBBY: Good.

Yeah, maybe we can get Mama to come...

...it she can ever get rid of that Lothario of hers.

We have some nice desserts if you'd like.

Our specialty is a chocolate cake glazed with Cointreau.

Ellie?

No. No dessert for me thank you, just coffee.

- I'll have a coffee too, please. - All right.

Well, nobody can say that Dallas doesn't have fine restaurants.

It was a delicious dinner, and it's been a lovely evening.

See what it's like when it's just you and me?

There's no reason it can't always be like this.

I mean, no family to get between us, no problems.

Family.

You know, it's funny you know all about my family, but I don't know much about yours.

What do you mean?

Well, why didn't you tell me that you had a sister?

Well, I suppose it's...

...because we never spend a lot of time together.

Jesse left San Angelo 30 years ago, and she hasn't been back very much.

- Well, where did she move to? - England.

My sister was a dreamer.

Texas just wasn't big enough for her.

She had her head full of crazy notions...

...traveling all over and meeting all kinds of people.

Well, lots of girls dream like that.

Well, Jesse achieved a lot of it.

She even married a nobleman.

An English lord named Henry Mention.

Unfortunately, he died last year.

I'm sorry.

I went over for the funeral and tried to talk her into coming back.

But she preferred to stay in England.

Well, I guess after living in England 30 years...

...it seems more like home than the States.

I guess so.

But let's not talk about that.

Ellie, have you ever been to the Band Stand?

No, I don't think so.

It's the only club in Dallas where they still play the old big-band music.

Why don't you and I go over there for a while?

- Now? - Sure, it's not too late.

They have a little dance floor...

...that maybe I could talk you into turning around a couple of times, huh?

Oh, you're a tempter, Clayton Fallow.

All right, it's a deal.

Well, let's pay our bill, woman. and get out of here, come on.

Bobby, oh. Christopher's almost ready.

Oh, good. Say, is that new?

Yes. I picked it up at an auction.

- Do you like it? - Yes, very nice.

You're going to auctions now, huh?

Well, sometimes with Mark.

He invests in an and antiques.

Bobby, I'm glad we have a moment together.

I want to apologize for the other night.

What for? For dinner?

No.

For troubling you about Cliff.

Felt kind of foolish afterwards.

He's not your problem, at least not anymore.

Well, to tell you the truth, I'm glad you did.

It was nice to spend an evening alone together.

Yes, it was.

I'm afraid we can't do that often, though.

Mark was pretty upset that I chose to talk to you instead of him.

Well, Jenna didn't like the idea much either.

She thought you might have called as an excuse to see me.

She thinks that's why I called you?

Yes, she does.

LOUISE: Here he is.

BOBBY: Hello, partner. - All fresh and clean.

- Thank you, Louise. - Okay.

Okay, baby. You have a good time this weekend, all right?

- I'll have him back tomorrow night. - Okay. Bye-bye.

Hi, did Peter call yet?

No. Why should he?

I thought he would have been here by now.

Lucy, if he told you he'll come, he'll be here.

- Aren't you gonna put on your bathing suit? - Maybe in a little while.

John Ross is so excited that Peter's coming over.

The two of them have become very good friends.

There he is.

Peter.

Hi.

It's good to see you.

It's good to see you all too.

Hi, Mrs. Ewing.

Hi, Peter.

Thanks for letting me come over.

Peter, Peter, I miss you.

Hey, I miss you too, pal. How you doing?

I really know how to swim now. Come on, I wanna show you.

Yeah? Well, wait a second. Hang on a minute, buddy.

- I wanna show you, come on. - Okay, okay, okay. I'm going.

Around the pool once. Over here to the ladder, huh?

J.R.: So this place is pretty full during the week...

...caters mostly to the business crowd, you know.

On Saturdays it thins down a bit...

...and I thought it'd be more comfortable here than in the office.

Thank you. Oh, it's fine with me.

So, what was it you wanted to talk about?

All business. I'm ashamed to say that's about all I really like to talk about.

- Are you ready to order? - No. I'll take another one of these, though.

- No, I'm fine for now. - Thank you.

Edgar, we Ewings have always run a very conservative operation.

Solid investments, well-surveyed deals, that sort of thing.

But lately, I've been thinking of speculating a bit.

Maybe in the offshore area.

You're talking about the tracks the government has up for auction?

Oh, well, you're ahead of me already.

And you're aware that the bids were received by my office.

Indeed I am.

The fact is, I can use all the help I can get.

Offshore drilling is a risky proposition.

Any company that jumps in the wrong way could take a hell of a beating.

Am I to assume you asked me here for advice?

Only in a manner of speaking.

If one were to get assistance on a venture like this, and the wells really hit...

...well, a percentage of an offshore field...

...could provide a very healthy annuity for a couple of kids.

Even a couple of kids with a father as wealthy as--

Well, say you, for instance.

You know, it's a funny thing.

When you called, I thought this would be the topic of the conversation.

Oh, I don't want you jumping to any conclusions, now.

I don't have to jump. You stuck them right under my nose.

J.R., I am a wealthy man.

That's one of the reasons I was chosen for the job I hold.

So I wouldn't be susceptible to offers like you're making.

Oh, hold on. I'm not making any offers. You're a government official.

That would be a jailable offense.

You're right. It would be. So let's end the conversation.

For the sake of Donna Krebbs, whom I like and respect...

...I'm gonna forget it ever happened.

I think you're making a mistake.

There's no mistake.

You know, I resent people like you.

You think you can corrupt anybody in the world.

Well, you're wrong.

Well, maybe there's another way.

LUCY: Daddy's coming. CHRISTOPHER: Daddy.

LUCY: Daddy's coming swimming.

That's right. You wanna learn to swim--?

- There's your daddy. - How are you, bud?

Aren't you gonna swim?

Let's go play with him.

- Thank you, Teresa. - Thank you.

JOHN ROSS: Peter, Peter.

Be careful, John Ross.

Hold it. You'll hurt somebody like that.

Don't be so wild. There's too many people around here.

Peter, you haven't seen my train set.

Listen, remember what we learned at camp, huh?

You gotta be careful around a swimming pool. Okay?

Okay. Now can we go up and see my trains?

All right, well you gotta ask your mom first.

Mommy, can I? You can come too.

Well, everyone is down here, honey.

JOHN ROSS: We can come back down later. Can we, please?

- All right. JOHN ROSS: Come on, Peter.

Can I come too?

Of course, Charlie, come on up. Haven't you seen his trains yet?

Can he offer you a robe?

Well, John Ross and Charlie seem to be getting along pretty well, huh?

We Ewing men have always had a way with the ladies named Wade.

- Oh, have you really? - Oh, yes, come here, I'll show you.

[JENNA SCREAMING]

Oh, Bobby Ewing, I will never trust you again.

Smart girl.

[JENNA SCREAMING]

Do you wanna go swimming? Yes. Let's go swimming with Daddy. One...

Look, Charlie, you tum it on from over here.

Peter, what are you doing? They could see us.

It's my telephone number for my new apartment.

- I want you to call me. Take it, will you? - Peter, no.

- What do you mean “no“? - Shh.

The reason why I came here was to see you, and we've got all these people around us.

What do you expect? There are always people at Southfork on Saturdays.

There's nobody at my apartment. Will you meet me there...

-...just so we can be alone? - Peter--

Not so fast, John Ross.

Mommy, it's going to jump the track.

I'll be right there, sweetheart.

- Just promise me you'll come over. JOHN ROSS: Mommy, Mommy.

I want us to be alone together.

All right, I'll come.

But will you please just go outside? Will you?

Wait.

SUE ELLEN: Yes, sweetheart.

GRAISON: That's good, okay.

That's good. Yeah, come again.

Oh, good. Wonderful. Okay, yeah.

There you are. Good, good.

That's good. Come on, fast. A little faster. Very good.

Come on.

Ow!

[GRUNTING]

- Oh, are you okay? - Oh, it hurts.

Oh, what? Your leg or the fact I'm playing so well.

Both.

[GRAISON CHUCKLES]

- You sure you're all right? - Yeah, I'll be fine.

You know, I had a talk with my brother yesterday about that offshore deal.

Don't tell me he still wants to go into that.

Well, I'm not sure, but I convinced him not to.

Well, good, good. Because I thought about it again myself...

...and I am not gonna bid with him.

It's much too expensive for any independent to go it alone.

I agree.

Ow!

You really did bruise yourself, didn't you?

- I hurt it. Boy, this is a serious wound. - Here, let me rub it for you.

You really are concerned about me, aren't you?

Of course I am, what do you think?

Well, I think...

...I'm gonna beat the pants off of you in the next set.

- Look at that. - You fake. You're not really hurt.

I'm not faking.

I'm just too macho to admit it. Come on. Let's play some tennis.

Graison is ready. How about a Barnes?

Get on your marks.

Get set.

Get set.

Go!

[WOMEN CHEERING]

JENNA: Come on! LUCY: Go, Peter!

Go, Peter, go.

JENNA: Come on!

Go, Peter. Go, go. Come on.

- Go, Ray! - Come on.

DONNA: Come on, Ray!

Touch, touch, touch. Go! Go!

Go!

LUCY: You can do it. Come on.

- Come on. - Hurry, hurry up.

- Come on, Bobby. Come on. - Hurry up.

- Give me a bronc, any day. Congratulations, Bobby.

[BOBBY GROANS]

J.R.: Well, looks like everybody's having a good time.

DONNA: You came in third.

- Hi, Daddy. - How you doing, buddy?

- Are you gonna come swimming? - Yeah, I just might do that, yeah.

- Well, hello, Peter. - Hi, Mr. Ewing.

You had us all worried about you.

Yes, sir. Well, I'm really sorry about that.

Well, we weren't that worried. Where's Sue Ellen? I don't see her around.

She had a headache, so she went upstairs to lie down.

Oh, headache, huh?

Well, I'll just go up and see if she needs anything. See you, bud.

Don't forget to put on your bathing suit, Daddy.

I won't. A day like today, I just might need a swim.

Well, he seems like he's in a good mood.

Yeah, I wonder who he kicked in the shins?

[ALL LAUGHING]

Come on, one more.

Sue Ellen?

Well, I expected to see you lying down with an ice pack on your head.

What are you doing in my room?

Oh, well, they told me downstairs that you weren't feeling well.

Suddenly concerned about my health?

Well, of course I'm concerned, honey.

I came up here to make sure you're resting comfortably...

...and you're not resting at all, are you?

I will when you leave.

Well, why aren't you downstairs entertaining your young admirer?

Acne is not contagious, is it?

You are really revolting.

What do I have to do, put a lock on my door to keep you out of my room?

It was just a joke.

Well, your jokes aren't funny.

They are disgusting and boring.

Well, I get the distinct impression I'm not wanted.

Not even you can get me down, Sue Ellen.

My life's moving on just the way I like it to.

I'm very happy for you.

Now get out.

[KNOCKING ON DOOR]

Come in.

Good evening, Sly.

You're sure nobody else will be here?

On a Saturday night?

Not a chance.

Sit down. Can I get you a drink?

No, thank you. I don't wanna stay very long.

I don't feel very comfortable being in your office.

Well, I can understand that.

What is it that you have to tell me?

Well, I overheard J.R. talking to somebody else about the offshore deal...

...and I thought it might interest you.

Well, I'm not so sure I wanna be involved in that anymore.

Well, you might be if you knew what J.R. knows.

What is that?

J.R. is certain that the tracks he wants to bid on are incredibly rich.

Do you know what tracks they are?

Not yet, but I might be able to find out.

Go on.

The feeling is that the potential for profit is so good...

...that even if J.R. can't find another company to join him...

...he'll take Ewing into the bidding alone.

No, that's crazy.

Because why would J.R. take such a risk like that?

Because he has inside information.

Not only on the value of the tracks, but also on the bidding.

No, not even J.R. can handle something like that.

Because those bids are sealed, and nobody knows what another company's gonna bid.

I'm only telling you what I overheard.

Well, it's not right because the government has such a lock on those bids that...

Wait a minute.

Did you say “inside information“?

What do you mean, that he has an informant?

I guess so.

An informant. Then I know who it is. I know who that is.

I got it right here. It's Edgar Randolph, Washington, D.C...

...deputy assistant secretary for the outer continental shelf.

I'm not absolutely sure about that.

No, no, I tell you. I'll bet my life on that...

...which means that J.R. will know how much to bid and with your help...

...I'll know how to top his bid.

[LAUGHS]

Do you realize what an incredible setup this is?

Yes, sir, I think I do.

[JENNA LAUGHING]

I'll go put these things away.

BOBBY: Charlie. CHARLIE: What?

You are so slow.

You wanna stay up and watch the late show?

No, I do not wanna stay up and watch the late show.

Because you're not gonna stay up and watch the late show...

-...because it's time to go to bed. Now, go. - Bed?

Bobby, I wish Christopher could stay here one tonight.

- Oh. - I'd love to take care of him.

I know but he's a little young to spend a night away from home.

But he doesn't live at Southfork, and you left him there.

Yes, but he used to live at Southfork...

...and his grandma likes to take care of him whenever she can.

Well, anyway, I really wanna thank you. It was a super day.

I had a good time too.

We'll do it again, all right?

- Well, I have to go to bed now. - Yes, I know.

- Good night, Bobby. Good night, Mom. - Good night, honey.

JENNA: What's this? No kiss for me? - Oh, yeah.

Good night, angel. Sleep well.

- I will. All that sun really pooped me out. - I bet.

Well, you certainly won her over.

Oh, no, no.

She won me over a long time ago.

Well, I just wanted to say ditto.

[CHUCKLES]

- Ditto? - Mm-hm.

I had a great time today too.

And I'm very happy to be with such a wonderful man.

- Hey, Mom, I-- - Yes, Charlie.

Never mind. You two go on doing just what you were doing.

- Don't let me interfere. - No, I'm sorry, honey.

Don't be sorry. I think it's great.

I'll just sneak back upstairs and you'll never even know I'm around.

Will you get back there? I'll be there in just a minute.

Don't rush, don't rush.

See what is it like to live with a 13-year-old daughter?

- You're not used to that, are you? - No, I guess I'm not.

- Would you settle for some coffee? - Yeah, no harm getting caught with that.

How are you two doing over here?

Oh, it's too early to tell.

I was talking about the drinks.

- Well, I guess I could use another drink. - I'm fine for the moment, thank you.

Well, don't worry. nobody's gonna see us.

You never know.

In a dive like this? I sure hope nobody sees me.

I forgot to ask you.

What happened with your little songbird the other night, did she come back?

It took her about a day.

Really?

Yeah, if I caught a man of mine in a position like that...

...I'd have skinned him alive.

Yeah, I'd really rather not talk about that.

I felt funny about that whole thing.

I thought it was pretty funny, myself.

But I don't wanna discuss that now, okay?

Okay, no problem.

What do you wanna discuss?

I wanna talk about that offshore-oil project...

-...that I spoke to you and George about. - Oh, that.

I really think it's a good deal and I want us to go in on it together.

Well, okay.

We can discuss your business now.

As long as we discuss mine later.

[CHUCKLES]

- Thank you. WAITRESS: You're welcome.

Marilee, you are one of a kind.

You can say that again.

- You know what I've been thinking, Cliff? - Probably, but what?

You and I are gonna make one hell of a team.

KATHERINE: Oh, I am exhausted.

The flight made a stop in London and we were delayed for five whole hours.

You poor baby, I've got some coffee brewing, you want some.

Oh, absolutely.

I'll fall sleep before I make it to the hotel.

Well, you know. you can stay here a few days.

No, I ought to get back.

I probably got a stack of mail to sort through.

You never told me why you went to Home.

You called one day and said you were going, and you were gone the next.

Oh, I just needed some rest, that's all. Nothing special.

But why did you pick Home?

- Well, why not? - Okay, why not?

Well, I have some friends there. I just needed to get away for a while.

You know, this past year's been pretty rough on me too.

I guess it has been.

I've had so many problems of my own...

...I'm embarrassed to confess that I hadn't given much thought to yours.

Well, I had them and I had yours too.

You know living through your divorce was not easy for me either.

You know how much you and Bobby mean to me.

It practically broke my heart to see you two break up like that.

Now Bobby's carrying on with that waitress.

They're still together, aren't they, Pam?

Yes, they are.

I swear I don't know what he sees in that woman.

Well, Jenna was Bobby's first love.

Oh, I know that. But I can't believe that's holding them together.

It has to be that little girl. Bobby must think he's the father.

Well, I don't.

Anyway, Jenna's the only who knows the answer to that and she's not saying.

Well, Pam...

...somebody's bound to find out sooner or later.

You know, I'd really like to change the subject. I bet that coffee's ready.

I'll get it.

[KNOCKING ON DOOR]

Just a minute.

I'm coming. I'll be right there.

Well, hi, come on in.

- I can only stay a minute. - Oh, relax. You just got here.

- I know that, Peter, but-- - How about my kiss?

I didn't come here for that.

Oh, okay. Well, then. just let me finish shaving. I'll be right back.

Peter.

Peter, I really wanna talk to you.

Oh, terrific. Because I wanna talk to you too.

Peter...

...there's really a lot of things that we have to talk about.

I know it may be hard for you to understand...

...but the reason I let this relationship between us go as far as it has...

...was the fact that...

...I thought it would put you back on the right track.

With yourself, I mean.

I just saw you throwing away wonderful potential...

...a whole new start in life.

That had period is over now, and you're back in school.

You're just fine.

Peter, I guess what I'm trying to tell you...

...is that I can't come here and make love with you anymore.

It happened once...

...but it can't happen again.

It's very important to me that you understand.

Do you?

Do I what?

Do you understand what I've been trying to tell you?

I couldn't hear a word you were saying.

But listen, there is something I wanna tell you.

What?

How much I need you.

- But, Peter-- - No, no, listen.

You don't realize what you do for me.

I mean, just knowing that I can see you, that I can be with you.

I mean, I'm great. I mean, I am terrific.

Knowing you're there, there's absolutely nothing that I can't do.

I could be an honor student. I'll be top of my class.

But you know why?

Because I love you.

I really do love you.

Edgar...

...I'm glad you decided to come.

I'm here purely out of curiosity.

I must say I'm really amazed.

I've heard a lot of things about J.R. Ewing but never that he was stupid.

Oh, did somebody call me stupid?

I made myself very clear during our talk at lunch...

...and yet you invite me hereto show me something very special, you say.

I'm sure it has to do with that same distasteful conversation.

Oh, I really have to apologize for that lunch.

But there was something important that I had to find out about you.

Yes, I had to know if you were a man that money could buy.

You found out I wasn't.

I did. I did indeed. And I was very pleased.

Because if my money can't buy you, nobody else's can either.

Not Cliff Barnes' or Westar, nobody.

And that says to me that the United States government...

...has placed its trust in the right man.

Those bids are safe in your hands, Edgar.

You bet they are.

And that makes me very happy.

I know now I'm the only one that's gonna get that information that I need so bad.

What the hell are you talking about?

Come into my office. I'll show you.

Well, money won't buy you, Edgar.

But I have something else that just might.

These documents came into my possession...

...not long after you and I met at Punk Anderson's. You remember that?

I didn't have any particular use for it at that time.

Just thought I'd hang on to it. Maybe it'd come in handy someday.

It seems that day has arrived.

Where did you get these?

Does it matter? Do you recognize them?

Something that happened years ago.

You can't let anybody know about this. My whole life is different now.

Well, like you say, it happened years ago.

Maybe nobody will even care.

Of course they'll care.

Oh, Edgar...

...I tried to be nice about this, I really did.

- You just wouldn't listen. - J.R.--

This could ruin me.

Then we're gonna have to be very careful with it.

Why don't you go home, give it some thought?

You know my needs and I sure know yours.

We're reasonable men.

We'll come to some sensible arrangement and until we do...

...I just wanted you to know that...

...you have my word. Your secret is safe with me.
