All language subtitles for Dallas S10E24

Believe me, I sympathize. Cliff
Barnes hasn't been charged with a crime.

Where there's
smoke, there's fire.

Things were bad enough
with her in Braddock.

- Now she's living with your brother?
- Please, let's try.

The last time we tried,
we failed miserably.

Do you have any idea
what you're asking?

If those high-and-mighty
Ewings go scat-free again...

Learn to take no for an answer.

Well, if she hasn't
said no yet...

- Take your hands...
- Stop! Stop it! Stop it!

As far as I'm concerned, from
now on I don't have a brother.

Are you sure you don't
want an attorney present?

I told you. Hey,
look, I am an attorney.

Now, look, this is something
that I can... I can handle, you know.

I mean, it's just a
screw-up, probably yours.

What do you know about
the death of your wife?

Nothing. Nothing. Look,
that's what I could list.

My wife and I, we've been
separated for many months.

And, hell, last I heard,
she was in California.

I didn't know she was in Mexico.

But you do know her
friend, Mary Elizabeth?

No, I didn't know her.

Oh, no, wait. I've
met her once...

when my sister and I went to
California to settle up my wife's affairs.

Is that when you gave her the note on
your memo paper we found in her purse?

Didn't give her a note on
my paper, I told you that.

And your business card with your
home telephone number written in.

Don't suppose you
know where she got that.

Yeah, I... No, I gave
her that. Uh-huh.

Look, she was injured in the
same accident that killed my wife.

She was sitting there
practically an invalid.

You know, I was
just trying to help.

Of course, Mr. Barnes.

Yeah, of course. I'm
telling you, this is a frame.

Why would anyone go to such
lengths, not to mention the expense...

to involve you in the
death of your wife?

Let me tell you something.
I'm a businessman.

And businessmen
like me make enemies.

Yeah, but I didn't have
anything to do with this.

Well, I'm nobody
to pass judgment...

but everybody knows that
Barnes is lower than a snake's belly.

Can you possibly imagine him
arranging for somebody to murder his wife?

No. I think the whole
thing is a mistake.

Of course it is.

The thing is, they found that
$25,000 in that girl's apartment.

Yeah, well, that's the clincher.

Who's gonna believe Barnes
would ever cough up $25,000...

to have a job done like that?

Couldn't do it cheap, he'd do it himself,
and you know he's not gonna do that.

I must admit, I do feel
a little sorry for him.

Yeah. Well, this'll
keep him busy.

He won't have time to stick his
nose in the running of Ewing Oil.

We can talk about it inside.

If he killed his wife for
10 percent of Ewing Oil...

who knows what the
man is capable of?

I need that injunction, judge.

I do. I can't have a man
like that in my organization.

I understand your position, J.R..
And believe me, I sympathize.

But Cliff Barnes hasn't
been charged with a crime.

Well, where there's
smoke, there's fire.

The police must have some
reason to be suspicious of him...

or they wouldn't have
brought him in for questioning.

Suspicions, yes, but the
evidence is totally circumstantial.

My only concern is my company.

I need you to issue
that injunction, judge...

even if it's only temporary.

Well, I suppose I could
arrange a temporary injunction.

- How temporary would that be?
- A week, maybe.

A wee...? I need more than a
week. I mean, a couple of months.

Oh, J.R. Ha.

I could stretch the limit of the law
just so far before it starts to screech.

For the sake of our
friendship, pour oil on it.

I need all the time
I can get, honestly.

Well, I'll see what I can
do and I'll let you know.

I appreciate it. I really do.

Oh, listen, while
you're at it...

why don't you get a restraining
order against Barnes?

I can't have him show up
at the office. I really can't.

You're asking a lot, J.R.

I know, I know. But
it's important to me.

I appreciate it,
judge. Oh, listen.

By the way, I heard some interesting
rumblings about a new stock issue.

I know you dabble in the market, so
I thought I'd call you when it's gospel.

Oh, I'd be obliged, J.R.

Let me see what I can
do about that injunction.

Yeah, and don't forget the
restraining order, heh-heh.

Where do you want
this trunk, ma'am?

That's upstairs, second
bedroom to the left.

- Thank you.
- How about this?

Uh, that goes in the kitchen.

Mom. My room is heaven.

It's even bigger than the one I have
at Southfork. Wait till Mamie sees it.

Let's get settled in first before
you start inviting friends over.

I know, but I can't
wait to redecorate it.

I want a big canopy
bed with lots of ruffles.

And a big lighted minor. You know,
like the kind the movie stars have?

And specially built shelves
to hold all my things.

Wait. Wait just a
minute, Miss Spendthrift.

Let's get moved in before
you start remodeling this house.

I know, but Ray said I
could decorate my room.

I know he did, but let's not get
carried away. Take this upstairs.

Okay. And Darius is here.
I could ride him every day.

Mom, this is so cool.

What room do you
want that trunk in?

Charlie, show him
where the wardrobes go.

I'm gonna start
sorting things out.

How goes the battle? Get
everything straightened out?

I was just getting
ready to sun all this out.

You look a little
frazzled. Here.

Let's get some
fresh air, all right?

Thanks. You're a lifesaver.

You ought to be real careful
about overdoing it, Jenna.

You can get as much
help as we need.

- You just let me know.
- No, no, no. I'm okay. I'm okay.

It's just that...

Just what?

I don't know.

I'm still not sure we're
doing the right thing.

Southfork is so close.

So?

So won't belong until
they find out I'm here.

Jenna, you have
no one to hide from.

No one.

I just get the feeling
that I really haven't

accomplished a
whole lot here, Steve.

You can't be serious, Donna.
Since you've been in Washington...

you've changed a lot of
attitudes about the oil industry.

He's right.

From what I gather, sounds like members
of the Congress, both North and South...

aren't as hard-nosed
about the issue as they were.

Well, I hope so. I mean,
I have heard some talk...

that they're considering putting
a floor under the oil prices.

A floor? Not a tariff?

No. Definitely a floor.

The question is, how
high is it gonna be?

Well, I've heard the
figure $25 bandied about.

I think that's wishful thinking.

I've heard it as low as 15.

Well, you're our
resident oil expert.

What do you
think's a fair price?

Well, um...

I think we should split the difference.
Twenty sounds like a fair price to me.

I could support a
number like that.

You could?

Well, that's great.

I was beginning to think
I was tilting at windmills.

Yeah, I think things are gonna work
out just the way you want them to.

I told you not to give up.

Yes, you did.

They "eat me... Treat me
like a common criminal!

That's what. I'm gonna sue.
I'm gonna sue the city of Dallas...

the police department, the
whole damn state of Texas.

They had no right to
keep me in jail like that.

Would you please calm down?

You can stomp and
rail all you want to...

but you know as well as I do
they were within their rights.

They didn't charge you
with anything. It's over.

I hate to point this out, but I have
a feeling you're a bit premature.

- What do you mean?
- I'll tell you what he means.

Although they didn't charge
me, they're still investigating.

And they could charge
me it they find anything...

that they feel is incriminating.

But the evidence is
purely circumstantial.

Many a horse thief had
been hanged on the gallows...

of circumstantial evidence.

Oh, Scotty, I can't believe
they'd prosecute Cliff...

- let alone convict him.
- Oh?

Let's play a little
game of courtroom.

Mrs. Ewing, isn't it true...

the defendant was often rude
and derisive to his wife in public?

Oh, God. Come on, Scotty.

The witness will
answer the question.

Well, Cliff was a little
impatient with Jamie.

Why do you suppose he
married her in the first place?

I don't know what you mean.

Well, could it possibly have
anything to do with a court battle...

in which Jamie sought to
gain one-third of Ewing Oil?

- I suppose so.
- Wait a minute.

Now, now, Cliff.

That information is
common knowledge.

Any prosecutor worth
his salt should uncover it.

The breakup of the marriage.

Was it easy...

or was it what you might
call a shouting match?

It wasn't easy.

Didn't you tell me earlier
that when Cliff heard"?

This is at the Ewing barbecue.

That when Cliff heard that Jamie
got 10 percent of Ewing Oil...

that he had a sudden
change of heart?

Oh, you mean about
the divorce? Yes, he did.

And how did Mrs. Barnes feel
about this sudden turnabout?

Now I think you're just
laying it on a little thick.

Let's talk about Los Angeles.

- Did you meet with Mary Elizabeth?
- No.

Did Mr. Barnes meet
with Mary Elizabeth?

He went to her apartment.

- You didn't go along?
- No.

You were fond of Jamie.

Mary Elizabeth was the
last person to see her alive.

You must have wanted to talk
to her to find out about things.

Well, yes, I did, but Cliff
seemed to prefer to see her alone.

No, wait a minute. You could
have gone along if you wanted to.

Mrs. Ewing, how'd you
feel when Cliff inherited...

Jamie's 10 percent of Ewing Oil?

Well, I didn't like it.

In fact, I tried to buy
it, but he wouldn't sell.

Why do you suppose
he wouldn't sell?

Well, you've got to
answer the question.

Because that 10 percent is the
most important thing in his life.

It's Cliff's entrée
into Ewing Oil.

Important enough
for him to kill his wife?

Oh, for the love of God.

All right, you don't need
to answer the question.

Well, what do you think?

What do I think?

Well, what do I think of what?

Nice curtains.

Well, it's not big enough
to be a show room.

Too high up to be a garage.

It isn't a show room.
It's my new office.

- Office?
- Mm-hm.

With the nose-dive
the company is taking...

you're looking to take up residence
in this schmaltzy, overpriced barn?

Don't exaggerate. Business
has dropped off a bit...

A bit?

You call 35 percent a bit?

What would you call
50 percent, two bits?

Very funny.

You had to play Madame Bountiful and
let the goose that lay the golden egg...

fly off to Hollywood land
to make flicks. Brilliant.

I don't think we can blame
our temporary setback...

on the loss of Mandy Winger.

Maybe it has something
to do with our image.

I think “schlocky“ is the word
that you would use to describe...

our present offices,
isn't that right?

That's as good a word as any.

Well, I think it's time that
we present a positive image.

I can't work out of my home...

or that little cubbyhole in
the show rooms we have.

It's time that we have a
positive image for our buyers.

Schlock-free, so to speak.

Well...

as long as you're in the
process of improving images...

how about improving mine?

I wouldn't say no to a
posh little palace for myself.

I am a partner, after all.

You are a 10-percent partner,
Mr. Valentine. Don't forget that.

I didn't think penny-pinching
was your thing.

Oh, well, don't go
having a little fit.

- I'll think about it.
- Good.

And I'll start picking
out new furniture.

Oh. I wouldn't do that just yet.

Hmph.

Now you see how easy that is?

It's easy for you. You've
been playing golf all your life.

- Well, I could teach you.
- Why do you want to?

You practically tore my head off on the
driving range just because I was so bad.

If you wouldn't hold
the club so tight...

your body would relax and
you'd get rhythm to your swing.

Clayton, I must have
swung at 100 balls...

and I only... Fact is,
I only hit one, 10 feet.

Oh, come on, you
listen to me now...

and you'll be all right, okay? Come
on. Hold the club the way I told you.

Come on, take your stance.
And keep your head down.

No, no, no, Ellie. Get closer
to the ball. A little closer.

That's it, that's
it, okay. All right?

Now nice and easy, okay?

Well, come on, Ellie.

All right. If you could drive like
you putt and putt like you drive...

you'd be a hell of a golfer.

Oh, no, Mr. Barnes, not
again. You can't go in there.

I wanna talk to you, J.R.

I'm sorry, J.R. He
just pushed past me.

It's all right. The Barnes’s have
never been known for their manners.

- Do you want me to call Security?
- No, not yet.

This is becoming a habit with
you, Barnes, and a bad one.

Say what you have
to say and get out.

I've had plenty of
time to think about it.

I've come to the conclusion
that the only person...

that would want to see me
spend the night in jail is you.

Every time you get in
trouble, you think I'm to blame.

Because dirty tricks always have
J.R. Ewing's name on them, that's why.

Now, you manufactured all
that evidence against me...

because you found out...

that I'm gonna inherit 10 percent
of Ewing Oil through Jamie.

I figured out your
problem. You're paranoid.

No. No. You're not
gonna manipulate me.

I'm gonna keep that 10 percent and
use it to beat you at your own game.

Texas will make Spanish its official
language before that happens, Barnes.

- Now you've had your say. Get out.
- Hey.

I own 10 percent of this company.
I will leave when I am ready.

Well, I have here
a restraining order...

signed by the duly elected judge of
Braddock County that says otherwise.

Now you can call Security, Sly.

Yes, JR.

Are you gonna go peacefully
or do you need a little hand?

I'm going. But it's
only because I'm ready.

And I'll be back.

Oh, thank you, Judge Loeb.

Heh, heh. Thank you.

How about you guys?

That's good.

Oh, I'll have to
get back to you.

Mr. Wendell, I'm sorry.

As I told you before when you
called, Cliff won't be in this afternoon.

Yes, I know. Would you see if
Pam has a moment to spare, please?

Yes, Jackie?

Pam, Jeremy Wendell is
here. He'd like to see you.

To see me?

Tell her it would be
in her best interests.

He said... I heard him.

Show him in.

Are you sure you're here
to see the right person?

No doubt in my mind about it.

All right. I'm listening.

Presently, I'm holding
a promissory note...

as collateral on a company in
which you have some interest.

Oh.

Wentworth Tool and Die.

That's impossible.

I loaned your
brother $6 million.

He used his share of Wentworth
Tool and Die as collateral.

I can't believe this.

It was a condition of the loan that it'd
be repaid within three days of demand.

And you called it in?

I did.

Unfortunately, your brother
cannot come up with this money.

My mother meant for this
company to stay in our family.

Well, I certainly appreciate your wanting
to respect her feelings in the matter.

How much?

On the other hand, I have
no particular desire to obtain it.

How much?

Six million plus four.

You interested?

I'll have a check
to you in 24 hours.

You can make it
out to Westar Oil.

And now, if you don't mind...

Not at all. I'm sure we
both have things to do.

- Jackie?
- Yes?

Where's my brother?

Well, you can call
off your dogs, Bobby.

You've been looking for me
hard enough. Well, here I am.

- Jack, I, uh...
- It's okay, Bobby. I, uh...

I heard about Jamie's accident.

I can't tell you how sorry I am. I
know you and she were pretty close.

Well, you know, it's a little like a
nightmare that just doesn't end.

I guess I just don't really
believe she's gone yet.

She was so young.

Anyway, I've been staying away
because I knew you and J.R...

would be after me
for Jamie's 10 percent.

You don't know.

Know what?

Jamie died without
obtaining a divorce from Cliff...

and without signing her will...

so the 10 percent was
granted to him and not to you.

That creep has no right to any part
of Ewing Oil, much less Jamie's pan.

That's why I've been trying to find you.
You've gotta stay in Dallas and help us.

No.

I can't do it, Bobby. I, uh...

There's just nothing left inside of
me anymore. I mean, I feel hollow.

Empty.

Then the best place for you is right
here. I mean, after all, we are family.

Family?

I wish I never would have
heard of the Ewing family.

They brought me nothing
but misery and heartache.

If I'd never come to Dallas
and gotten involved with you...

Jamie might just
still be alive today.

- You can't blame yourself for that.
- Who am I gonna blame?

No.

No, I am leaving
Dallas for good.

- This isn't my fight.
- The hell it isn't.

Look, I said just deal me out.

If it's not your
fight, whose is it?

Jamie wanted you to have
her piece of the company.

Okay, so what if I do get
it back? April gets half of it.

Wouldn't you rather
April get 5 percent...

than Cliff Barnes
get any part of it?

Look, once we've won, you
can leave town if you want to.

But right now, prove
yourself a Ewing.

Jamie left those
shares to you in her will.

A will she never lived
long enough to sign.

That doesn't alter the fact that
she wanted you to have them.

Come on, Jack. You've
gotta do this for her. And for us.

She would've wanted
you to fight with us.

Why don't you stop telling me
what my sister wanted me to do?

What makes you think you knew
her? You never gave her the time of day.

- That's not true.
- Oh, bull.

Look, you and J.R. handle
Cliff Barnes any way you like.

I just wanna be left alone.

Hey, have I got some good news.

Judge Loeb granted a restraining order
and an injunction against Cliff Barnes.

I don't think we'll make it
stick, but we'll slow him down.

Good.

Are my ears hearing me
right? Did you say “good“?

I never thought I'd see you
side with us against your brother.

I don't think Cliff deserves Jamie's
10 percent any more than you do.

I wish Jack felt the same way.

Jack?

- You found Jack?
- I didn't find him.

He found me at
the Oil Baron's Club.

Oh, Bobby, now that's really
good news. Where's he staying?

I don't know that.

- You don't know?
- I didn't get a chance to ask him.

He was real broken
up about Jamie's death.

Well, that's understandable.
She was his only sister.

All the more reason for him to
stand with us against Barnes.

J.R., Jamie's only been
dead a couple of weeks.

It takes time to get
over a less like that.

Your problems will be the
last thing to be in his mind.

I agree with Clayton. He
just wants to be left alone.

You're a feel if you think we
can beat Barnes without Jack.

You should never
have let him go.

What would you want
me to do, tie him up?

Hell, yes, if that was necessary
to keep him from leaving.

He wants to be left
alone for a while.

- You realize how important he is to us?
- 01 course I realize it.

What you don't realize
is he doesn't care.

Well, you should've
made him see the light.

Our chances of getting that 10 percent
back are slim to none without him.

Mrs. Farlow, should
I serve dinner now?

Yes, please, Teresa. At least at
the dinner table, we'll get relief...

from this endless
arguing about business.

Yeah, let's have dinner.

Sue Ellen, where you going?

J.R., I thought you were asleep.

I've been up half the night...

thinking about how Bobby
let Jack just walk out on him.

Well, apparently. The
way Jack feels right now...

there's nothing he
could do to stop him.

Well, that's just
stupidity on Bobby's pan.

If he had used his head, he'd at
least found out where Jack was staying.

You don't think that they're gonna
allow Cliff to keep those shares, do you?

Not if I can stop it.

But that's not gonna be
easy without Jack's help.

You'll think of something.

Sue Ellen, don't go.

God, it's so wonderful
having you here.

Well, it's wonderful for me too.

Then why don't you
come back for good?

Have Teresa move your
things in here tomorrow.

Into my room. Our room.

I want to.

I really do, but I'm afraid to.

The last time we tried,
we failed miserably.

Oh, darling. I think
we can make it work.

Please, let's try.

Oh, Sue Ellen.

- Bob.
- Hello, Ray.

I, uh, didn't expect
you until this afternoon.

Oh, I called the office. My first
two appointments were canceled.

I figured I'd swing by.

Gets a little nippy out
here. Mind if I come in?

- Sure, come on in.
- Okay.

I know things have been a
little bit awkward between us...

ever since the wedding.

I can't tell you how glad I
was to get your call to stop by.

Well, I'm glad you came out.

There's something I
wanna tell you about.

All right. You know how I
feel about mending fences.

Ray, before I leave, I
have to get that bag with...

Hi, Bobby.

Hi, yourself.

What are you doing here so
early in the morning, Charlie?

I live here.

- You what?
- It's what I wanted to tell you about.

Ray, have you seen those"?

Jenna, is this
true? You live here?

Yes, it's true, Bob.

I don't believe it.

You said you wanted to sever
all connections to the Ewings.

You have a damn
funny way of doing that.

What I do is no
concern of yours.

No concern?

The fact that Jenna and
Charlie are living here...

is nobody's business
but mine and theirs.

- The hell it is.
- Well, you got a lot of nerve.

You leave Jenna to go fend for herself,
and then you object when I help her.

Help her or help yourself?

- What?
- I just think it's a little strange.

Three and a half seconds
after your divorce, they move in.

You sure you're not trying to
make her a substitute for Donna?

- What?
- Get out of my house.

Not till I understand
what's going on.

I said, get out of
my house, now.

- Keep your hands off me, Ray.
- What is this? Stop!

- Make them step!
- For God's sake!

Please.

There's not another man alive
that I'd let get away with that.

It's all right.

I'm sorry.

It seems strange to me. Are you
sure they got all that evidence?

Yup. From what I can tell.

They've got some video
cassettes of meetings...

the Ewings had with Calhoun.

They even used
ultrasensitive microphones.

Picked up some pretty
interesting conversations.

They're just burying it?

Like I told you, as far as the CIA
is concerned, the case is closed.

I don't know.

It's funny to me no
one seems to care...

that the Ewings practically start
a war just for their own benefit.

I never said that.

I'll bet the Justice
Department would care plenty.

If they knew about it.

Isn't there some way
they could find out?

No. All the information
concerning the case...

has been completely
locked away and forgotten.

That doesn't have
to be, does it?

Nancy, what are you suggesting?

I mean, you've got
a key to that place.

Couldn't you get
some information?

Not a whole bunch, something that
we could give to the Justice Department.

Sis, that's crazy.

Do you have any idea
what you're asking?

I can't get it off
my mind, Alfred.

Ever since you told me
about that evidence...

If those high-and-mighty
Ewings go scat-free again...

when I know there is a way
we can put them behind bars...

I just don't think that...

I just don't think
that I could...

I could live with myself.

I couldn't.

I couldn't live with myself.

Good afternoon, Jackie.
How are you this fine day?

Gee, it's great to see
you in such a good mood.

I got a call from
the LA. Police.

It was all some stupid
mistake, and I'm free as a bird.

Not that that surprises
me because the morons...

never had a case
against me to begin with.

- Pam here?
- Yeah, she's in her office.

Ha, ha, Fantastic news.

I've been cleared of all
those trumped-up charges...

which I will lay you 10-10-1
that J.R. Ewing was behind.

You know, even I am amazed
at how low that man would sink.

Low?

Compared to
you, J.R. is a saint.

How could you jeopardize
what Mama left you?

Huh?

Mama's company,
Wentworth Tool and Die?

Oh, God, no. Wait a minute.

Now, wait a minute.
See, I can explain.

Explain? Oh, I
would like to hear that.

Explain to me how you
sold it to Jeremy Wendell...

matter swearing to me
that he was the last man...

on the face of the earth
you'd consider selling to.

Pam, it's far more
complicated than that.

Oh, complicated?

Are things too
complicated for you, Cliff?

Well, I tell you what
I'm gonna do for you.

I'm gonna simplify
things for you.

I'm gonna walk
out of here for good.

It's all yours now.
You're all alone.

You're in charge. Does that
make things simple! for you?

Pam, you don't understand.

Oh, but I do understand.

I've had it. I've had it
with your explanations...

your excuses, your lies
and your fabrications!

I am finished.

- No, wait, you can't do that.
- Oh, but I can.

I am finished.

I may love you,
but I don't like you.

And as far as I'm concerned,
from now on I don't have a brother.

- Bobby, is that you?
- Yeah, honey. I'll be right out.

Well, you're not gonna believe
what my brother did this time.

- All right, what did he do?
- Well, I...

What happened to your face?

Oh. Don't worry, it'll heal.

Well, what happened?

It's just a minor
disagreement, that's all.

It doesn't look like a minor
disagreement. With who?

All right.

With Ray.

Ray?

Ray called this morning
after you'd gone to work.

He wanted me
to talk to him. I...

I went to his place
and I discovered...

that Charlie and Jenna
have moved in with Ray.

You can't be serious.

I'm afraid I am.

Things were bad enough
with her living in Braddock.

Now she's living
with your brother?

I know how much this hurts, but
I don't know what to do about it.

Next thing you know, he'll
be bringing her to dinner...

right here at
Southfork, baby and all!

Damn it, Bobby!

Jenna?

I think that male is
gonna foal tonight.

Got one of the hands out
there keeping an eye on it.

I'm gonna go out and
check in a few minutes.

See, the thing is,
Charlie's been bugging me.

She wants to go out and watch.

What do you think, Jenna?

Ray, I've been
thinking about it all day.

Charlie and I can't stay here.

Well, we went all over that
this morning when Bobby left.

I know.

I just don't think
it's gonna work.

It won't if you don't give
it a chance, that's for sure.

Don't you wanna stay?

Of course I do.

Well, then, you'll stay.
That's all. It's simple.

Well, I wish it
were that simple.

Ray, I never wanted to come
between you and your family.

Jenna, it's like I told Bobby.
What we do is our business.

The rest of the world
can just go hang.

And if the Ewings can't accept the
way I run my life, they can go hang too.

- But, Ray...
- There's no buts about it.

This is my house.

You and Charlie
are welcome to stay.

So, what do you say?

We'll stay.

Great. Where's Charlie?

Velcro. That's the ticket.

- Ticket to what?
- Our newline of lingerie.

We could call it “the
breakaway bodice.“

See, the way I got it figured,
too many sweet young things...

have been getting their
tender flesh pinched...

in all them nasty
hooks and eyes.

Oh.

Well, I didn't realize the
situation was so serious.

Oh, they're murderous.
Absolutely murderous.

And now it we were to
substitute a strip of Velcro...

- Instead of hooks and eyes.
- Right-o.

Not only does it
remove the danger.

Think what it will do to facilitate
the removal of all those nasty...

waist-pinchers.

Has that been a problem as well?

Well, under certain
circumstances, it could be.

It takes forever to undo
all them hooks and eyes.

Mr. Valentine, shame on you.

- Sue Ellen, what a surprise.
- Oh, April.

Sue Ellen, you know
this gorgeous creature?

Uh, yes. This is April Stevens.

We have a habit of
running into each other.

I'd like you to meet Oswald
Valentine, a business associate of mine.

- How do you do?
- Uh-huh.

Did you get the puppy?

Uh, no, did you?

Um, no, I decided that the
companionship wasn't quite worth...

the wear and tear
on the carpets.

Sue Ellen, you never
cease to amaze me.

Why have you kept...

this tender flower of
womanhood hidden from me?

This is a face that could
launch 1000 orders a week.

You're a model, right?

No, I'm not.

Well, baby doll, you could be.

Maybe we should talk
about this sometime.

I'm very flattered,
Mr. Valentine.

Please, don't stand
on formality with me.

Why don't you rest
your little hands and feet?

Please, join us.

Thank you.

Now, this is a
today kind of face.

Really, I'm very flattered,
but I have no experience.

Well, you can walk and
talk and smile, can't you?

There's nothing
more to it than that.

Mr. Valentine, you'll have to
learn to take no for an answer.

Well, she hasn't said no
yet, have you, little lady?

Well, then I'll say it.

No.

Catch the phones for
me, will you, Alfred?

I've gotta run these
things up to Section H.

- Old Man Jurgens called three times.
- All right.

You'd think the
world would end...

if this man didn't get what
he wanted when he wanted it.

I knew it.

That jerk. He didn't have the
courtesy to even say “thank you.“

Hello, Cliff.

Celebrating, I see.

I must have made
you a very happy man.

I made it possible for Tool
and Die to stay in your family.

That must please you. It
certainly pleased your sister.

Wendell, I didn't think you were
capable of such a rotten deal.

You knew that I did not want
my sister to know about that deal.

If you're talking about my
means of getting my loan repaid...

you brought that about
by your own stupidity.

Hey, maybe you're right. Maybe
I should have leveled with her.

- Would've been a first.
- Hey.

You had no business going
to my sister for that money.

I had every intention
of paying you back.

And now with your meddling...

you have alienated the
one person that mattered.

Who is that, your financier?

Ha, ha, ha, ha.

No, my sister.

That's the only person I have
left that I really care about.

You brought it on yourself by
lying to cover your inadequacies.

And then not being clever
enough to carry that off.

I would have paid you back!

Well, they say human
race will be extinct too.

Of course, that's not a
problem that concerns you.

You're very smug.

You think you're untouchable.
I tell you, I'll get you.

I promise you, I will get you
back when you least expect it.

Mr. Barnes, Mr. Wendell, please.

It's all right, Dora Mae.

I think you better
cancel my reservation.

I'm not gonna eat here tonight.
Ambience leaves a bit to be desired.

Of course, Mr. Wendell.
Perhaps another evening.

I told him, huh?

All right, I admit
it. I set Barnes up.

But I knew the police
couldn't make it stick.

In the long run, nobody
got hurt, not even Barnes.

What about that
girl in California?

She might've been inconvenienced,
but she wasn't hurt either.

In the meantime, she
walked away with $25,000.

You've gotta stop playing so fast
and loose with other people's lives.

Well, Bobby, I
gained a little time.

If you hadn't let Jack
slip through your fingers...

We“. he didn't have
much of a choice, JR.

Well, if you're not a
sight for sore eyes.

- I never thought I'd see you again.
- Neither did I.

The way Bobby was talking, it
sounded like you were off in the woods...

and was never coming back.

- J.R.
- That's all right, Bobby.

No, I guess I have been
feeling pretty sorry for myself.

- Can I fix you a drink?
- Yeah, Scotch, rocks, sounds good.

Jack, I hope your being here
means what I think it does.

I've been giving our conversation
a lot of thought, Bobby.

I decided that you're right.

Jamie wanted me to have
her share of Ewing Oil...

and I owe it to her to see
that he! wishes are carried out.

Does that mean you're gonna
stick with us and tight Cliff Barnes?

Whatever it takes.

I gotta take my hat off to you, Jack.
You are a Ewing through and through.
