[BOTH SHOUTING]

[PAMELA SCREAMS]

NARRATOR:
Previously on Dallas:

Oh, Bobby, she's gotta live.

[GUNSHOT]

[GRUNTING]

If Cliff dies,
I don't think I'll ever be able to marry you.

[ALARM BEEPING]

[GUNFIRE]

[EKG FLATLINING]

Good morning.

[SCREAMS]

[SUE ELLEN SCREAMING]

J.R., you will be the laughing stock
of Texas.

J.R.: You little bastard!
- Get off!

[GRUNTS]

[GRUNTS]

[SCOFFS]

Gone.

Everybody gone.

[Slsns]

[GLASS BREAKING]

[Slsns]

[GRUNTS]

[GRUNTS]

[GRUNTS]

To hell with them.
To hell with all of them.

They all ran out and left me.

They don't give a damn
if I'm dead or alive.

I think they'd all be happier
if I'd never been a part of the Ewing family.

[SCOFFS]

They'd be happier if there'd never been
a J.R. Ewing, that's for damned sure.

Well...

...maybe I should just do myself in.

[SCOFFS]

Boy, they'd be sorry.

[CHUCKLING]

MAN: Nobody could be as sorry as you.
You are really pitiful.

- What?
MAN: Up here.

[WHISTLES]

That's right.

Who are you?
What the hell are you doing up there?

Forgive me for interrupting, I just couldn't
help it, but you were about to kill yourself.

What are you, a burglar or something?
Put your hands up.

No, I'm not a burglar.

The only thing I'm interested in here
is you, pal.

- What the hell are you talking about?
- Would you please stop using that word?

Get your hands up, boy.

The thing is, I was just passing by...

...more or less, when I heard you mumbling
something about people being happier...

...if there'd never been a J.R. Ewing.

Well, personally, I think that's true.

But it's not my call.

Anyway, uh,
I think you were about to do yourself in...

...so I'll just wait here
while you finish the job.

Listen, you little windbag,
get your hands up or I'll blow your ears off.

You're not gonna be easy, are you?

I know we're in Texas

...and I know you lived here all your life...

...but do you have any idea
what the word schmuck means?

How did that shot miss you?
And how did you get down here?

- What's going on here, anyhow?
- You didn't answer my question.

You probably don't know, so I'll tell you.

A schmuck is someone
who owns the goose...

...who lays the golden eggs
and cooks it for dinner.

Hey, are you from back east
or something?

You sure ain't from around here.

That certainly is true.

Eh.

I'm tired of all this talk, you little runt.
Now, who are you?

Who am I? A name. A name.

What's in a name?

A rose, by any other name,
would smell as sweet...

...but if it'll make you feel better,
uh, why don't you call me Adam?

Hmm.

Yeah, call me Adam.

That has a nice ring to it.

Uh, but back to business.
In a sense, I'm your golden goose.

Oh, boy, you are a weirdo.

And you got about a minute
to get off Southfork.

If you'd stop being pig-headed,
I have something to talk to you about.

So listen carefully.

What I'm about to offer you
is the opportunity of a lifetime...

...but it expires soon,
and will not be offered again.

Here's the deal.

Why don't we find out...

...if indeed the world would have been
a better place...

...if there had never been a J.R. Ewing?

How's that for an offer?

[J.R. CHUCKLES]

I know who you are. You're a wacko..

...that escaped from a mental institution.
I don't know how you ended up here.

I'll call the boys with the straitjackets
and have them pick you up.

You know all about mental institutions
and straitjackets, don't you?

- How do you know about that?
- I know everything about you.

My boss has been intrigued by you
for a long time.

When he heard you were at the end
of your rope, he sent me to talk to you.

Oh, yeah? What are you gonna tell me?

That you're some sort of an apprentice
angel and I'm your good deed, huh?

[LAUGHS]

[LAUGHS]

Hmm.

You've got it upside down and backwards,
but in essence, that's about it.

Ha-ha-ha. Boy, you are crazy.

You expect me to believe that?

Don't believe.

Kill yourself.

But then you'll never know
what I can show you.

Will you?

[J.R. CHUCKLES]

Well, all right.

Let's say I'm just drunk enough
to go along with you.

How about a little proof, huh? Hmm?

Why don't you give me a sign?

I don't do shtick.

But suppose I know things about you
that no outsider could.

Like what?

Like how about James moving back east
with Debra Lynn and Jimmy?

John Ross dumping you
to live in England with his mother?

Uh, Miss Ellie giving Southfork to Bobby,
letting Cally get away with your child.

How's that for starters?

Plus, of course, Sly quit to get married,
Phyllis told you to shove your job.

And now you're all alone
at Ewing and Ewing.

- Good, huh?
- Well, if you're so damned smart...

...how come you didn't mention the fact
Cliff Barnes now owns Ewing Oil?

What Ewing Oil?

Without you,
Ewing Oil would no longer exist.

Oh, of course it would,
with or without me.

My daddy founded that company.

That's true...

...but it's what happened to it
that's interesting.

Why don't I ever get someone like that
instead of the J.R.s of the world?

- Hey, how did you do this?
- Do what?

Well, uh, get us here.
Where the hell are we?

You do like that word.

Well... Um...

Uh, say, miss,
can you tell me where I am, please?

Hello?

[Slsns]

- She acts like I'm not even here.
- Bingo.

Why don't you just look on this
as sort of a metaphysical trip...

...where we're here, but we're not really?

And since you never existed,
how can anyone see or hear you?

Well, metaphysical or not, where are we?

This is Ewing Oil.

Or at least, we're in what used to be
the Ewing Oil building.

When the company went bankrupt,
this insurance company tuck it over.

Bankrupt? What are you talking about?

Well, without you,
Gary was the oldest brother.

When Jock got ready to retire,
he turned the company over to him.

[SCOFFS]

Daddy would never do anything
that dumb.

But he did. Miss Ellie wanted it that way.

Gary was always her favorite.

Unfortunately,
Gary wasn't cut out for the oil business...

...and inside of a couple of years,
the company went belly up.

What that must have done to Daddy.

ADAM: He just couldn't take the loss
of the company.

J.R.:
You mean Daddy killed himself?

ADAM:
Well, the coroner said natural causes...

...but the coroner was a good friend
of your mama's.

J.R.:
Ahh. Poor Mama.

ADAM:
She loved your daddy so much...

...she died of a broken heart
a couple of years later.

Now, wait a minute.

Mama's alive and well,
and married to that idiot Clayton Farlow.

[CHUCKLES]

You just don't get it, do you?
She never met Clayton Farlow.

She just couldn't face life without Jock.

To the end, blamed herself for talking him
into giving Gary the company.

[Slsns]

Gary, that punk.

I hope he ended up on ajunk pile
somewhere.

Look at this.
These socks cost me $40 a pair.

I know that, Mr. Ewing.

They've got a run in them.
Is that any way to take care of my things?

I'm very sorry, Mr. Ewing.

Sorry doesn't feed the bulldog.
Get me another pair.

You scum.

You put Mama and Daddy into the ground,
living in this playboy mansion.

How did he get all this money?

ADAM:
He's a lawyer, of course.

But not just a lawyer.

A Beverly Hills lawyer.

Oh, how did he ever get to be a lawyer?

Well, he graduated from UT,
passed the Texas bar...

...had a good business going
when Jock left him Ewing Oil.

- Good, give Mr. Kingdom--
- Good lawyer, but he's a lousy oilman.

[INTERCOM BUZZES]

- Yes?
SECRETARY: Mrs. Kingdom is here.

Ah. Send her in.

[SIGHS THEN CLEARS THROAT]

Alice, my dear, come in.

Oh, Gary, you've got to do something.
The man is a beast.

Oh, what's he done now?

He's cut off my credit.

All the shops.
I've never been so humiliated.

GARY: Well, we'll make him pay.
You can be sure of that.

He hasn't been late
with the interim support money?

ALICE:

But how am I supposed to get by
without being able to keep my wardrobe up?

We'll get more.

Don't you worry,
and we're gonna be in court soon.

He'll wish he'd been nicer to you.

[ALICE SIGHS]

Well, thank God I have you by my side.

- You make me feel so safe.
- Oh.

ALICE: I wish you were there with me
to comfort me at night.

It gets so lonely.

Well, Alice...

He never married, you know.

Without you to drive him off Southfork,
he never met Valene.

Never had Lucy.

He's just a poor, happy bachelor.

[J.R. SIGHS]

Where the hell is the justice in that?

[INTERCOM BUZZES]

Yes?

SECRETARY:
Mr. Kingdom and Miss Lawrence are here.

Good. Send them in.

Now, don't say a word.

Don't get in an argument,
and let me do all the talking.

I can't stand that witch he has
for an attorney.

- He's probably making it with her.
- Just let me do all the talking.

ALICE:
All right.

[Slsns]

- Miss Lawrence.
- Mr. Ewing.

GARY:
Mr. Kingdom.

Shall we get right to it?

- Yes, why don't we? I--
- No.

I'd like to say something
about Mrs. Kingdom's behavior.

Her behavior?

You piker, you.
How could you do that to me?

- Do what?
ALICE: Emilio's, yesterday.

I was trying on a new outfit,
and you cut off my credit.

Buy more clothes,
have to turn into twins to wear them.

You cheap, rotten-

- Cheap? Me?
ALICE: Yes, you.

Before you married me, the only words you
knew were, "Attention, Kmart shoppers."

That's it. I don't need this.
I'm gonna kill you right here.

- I never-- You make me sick to my stomach.
WALTER: Listen. She's always done this.

ALICE: I'm gonna kill you right here.
-It looks like he earns his money, I'll say.

-It does get better.
ALICE: I never liked you. I--

I think we'll give up our demand
for the Palm Springs house.

But I'm gonna want something in return.

She can keep the Palm Springs house
if she drops the alimony to 10,000 a month.

Or a flat settlement of 2 million.

Plus the Mercedes,
plus the New York apartment.

In return, she relinquishes all claim
to the Bel Air house...

...the Malibu house,
and the place in Aspen.

I think we can live with that.

- Then it's done.
- And done again.

We'll see about again.

Well, why don't we?

Well, he's a Ewing, that's for sure.

If you're gonna cut a deal,
that's the best place for it.

You're just gonna sit there and watch?

- You got a better idea?
- Yeah, I thought we'd catch some TV.

- You're kidding.
- Au contraire.

There's something on
I think even you will like.

While the luxury tax
was intended to be a burden...

...borne only by the very wealthy,
it has had an unexpected side effect...

mthrowing thousands
of blue-collar workers out of work...

"including those who built the yachts.

- It has had--
- What's she doing on TV?

Looks gorgeous, doesn't she?

Is this some kind of a joke?

No. She's one of the most successful
people in daytime television.

SUE ELLEN [ON TV]: Including those--
- You expect me to believe that?

It doesn't matter what you believe.
She's worked long and hard for this.

[PHONE RINGING]

LAWRENCE: Oh, don't answer it.
GARY: No, I'd better.

[LAWRENCE MOANING]

Oh, I can't--
I can't concentrate with this thing ringing.

Ahh. Hello?

Jason,
why are you calling me at this hour?

No, I'm not gonna be in Dallas
for the presentation.

Well, what do I care if it's your big day?

No, Jason, look...

...as far as I'm concerned,
you're a selfish little jerk...

...and the world's worst excuse
for a brother.

[BOTH MOANING]

Jason? Who the hell is Jason?

Good evening, Mr. Ewing.
Congratulations on your big night.

Thank you, darling. It's about time too.

Would you believe it?

Nobody from the family's
gonna show up.

I can't imagine why.

That's him.

Well, I know you told me
a lot of things changed...

...but there was never another brother.

How many sons
did Jock and Miss Ellie have?

- Three.

Well, without you,
Gary was the oldest, then Bobby...

...and then came Jason.

He's quite a piece of work.

Hey, hey, the man of the hour.

Our hero. The bringer of affordable housing
to the great unwashed.

Just as long as they've got
their 10 percent down.

Uh, got a couple minutes?

- We can talk a little business?
- Always.

I hope it's better
than the last deal you had for me.

Five hundred an acre
for that damn swampland?

On which you built 2000 houses.

Which, thank the Lord,
haven't begun to sink yet.

Not my problem.
I'm out of that one, boys.

Although I did like the name.
Lakeview Estates.

It does have a ring to it.

Amuse yourself, girls.
We're gonna talk some business.

Lakeview Estates.

Mud Flats would have been better.

[CHUCKLES]

You still seeing that car salesman?

Wait a minute.

You don't call someone who deals
in Rolls-Royces a car salesman.

[ALL LAUGHING]

Isn't it about time you tried it?

Well, now, if I did,
I sure wouldn't talk about it.

Does that mean you have or haven't?

That means I want another drink.

[WOMAN LAUGHS]

He's your brother, all right.

Look at what he's married to,
and he's out chasing all over town.

Folks, folks, friends, customers, ha, ha,
lend me your ears.

It's time for the reason
we've all assembled here tonight.

To pay homage to our good friend
Jason Ewing.

And to honor him...

...for his last and his biggest development
in East Dallas...

...Whispering Pines. Jason Ewing.

Whispering Pines.

To the lucky buyers,
it's known as Stink City.

He built it on an old garbage dump.

Of course, he got the land cheap.

He's a disgrace to the Ewing name.

I hope Bobby kicked his butt
off Southfork.

Even the thought of him living there
hurts me.

J.R.:
What are we doing here?

I thought you'd like to see Jason's first
development. He made his fortune on this.

So what?

Doesn't it look familiar?

Wait a minute.
I don't even drive through places like this.

After Miss Ellie died...

...Jason managed
to maneuver Bobby and Gary...

...out of their shares of Southfork.
- Wait a minute.

That hustler owns Southfork?
Is that what you're saying?

Hmm. Not exactly. He didn't feel
the same way about it that you did.

[J.R. SIGHS]

Are you telling me...?

ADAM:
This is Southfork.

Doesn't look the same, does it?

Well, Jason never was one for sentiment.

So he turned it into this.

It's almost impossible for me to believe
that it's been 10 years.

Ten of the best years of my life.

Now, I'm not saying
that getting up at 4:00 in the morning...

...and going to work in the dark
is my idea of heaven...

...but it's time for me to move on
to the other things in my life.

It's time to pass the old hourglass over
to my successor.

I know you, our faithful watchers,
will come to admire...

...and, yes, love, Kimberly Kavanaugh...

...just the way those of us who have
worked with her these last six months do.

And so, until we meet again
on my network specials...

...God bless and care for all of you.

And we're out.

[SUE ELLEN CHUCKLES]

Wait.

Thank you so much for what you said.

I could hardly keep from crying.

And I just want you to know,
as hard as it is...

...I'm gonna do my best
to fill your shoes.

Just as long as your bra stays filled,
honey...

...you won't have to worry
about the shoes.

I don't use padding.

Just between the ears.

I hope you know how to read the news
on your back, Kimberly.

I heard that's where you were
when you got the job.

Ha-ha-ha. That's the way to go, Sue Ellen.
She's got a lot of fire, hasn't she?

Proud of you. Ha-ha-ha.

MAN 1:
Cut. It's wonderful.

- Okay, let's move to Stage 4.
- Oh, I'm sorry.

[SUE ELLEN E ACTRESS LAUGH]

Sue Ellen, I'm gonna miss you so much.

This won't be the last time
we see each other.

Well, I thought you were going to L.A.

I'll be back. New York is my home.

Well, how about that. This is your last day
on the show, and your last scene.

The old soap won't be the same
without you.

Thank you.

Well, I've gotta change.
I've got the shower scene next.

MAN 2: Oh, we'll sneak in.
ACTRESS: Bye.

[ALL LAUGH]

I'll see you both before I leave.

What's going on?

It's called Top of the World.
It's my favorite show.

Sue Ellen's been on it for years.

Playing the part of a newscaster.
They love her.

What's with the pills? What are they?

ADAM:
Aspirin. What do you think?

[KNOCKING ON DOOR]

MAN:
You decent? It's your ever-loving agent.

Come in.

Sue Ellen!

Babe, you were wonderful.

You practically brought tears to my eyes.

Really?

Would I lie?
Where do you want me to put these?

Anywhere.

So how's it feel?
You all ready for the big new career?

- The sooner, the better.
JEFF: Good, good.

Because Monday, you fly out
to meet the director.

When do we get the script?

Well, they'll, uh, have some pages for you
by the weekend.

Oh, pages? Why not the whole script?

Well, see, the thing is, they, uh...
They want you to test.

Test?

[SUE ELLEN SIGHS]

Well, I thought they knew me.
That they wanted me.

JEFF:
Oh. They do, baby, they do, they do.

But see, there's this new director,
and he's really not quite sure, you know.

Well, he has seen my work?

Well, actually, the thing is he, uh--

He's kind of young.
He doesn't really know from soap operas.

So show him some tapes.

There's gotta be years of that stuff
around here.

Look, babe. He wants a test, okay?

He's not quite sure of himself.
He wants to see you on film.

Hey, look, a lot of big stars,
and I'm talking big, will do a test.

It'll be okay.

All right. I suppose so.

JEFF:
Good.

Will I, um, have the day with him?

Mm...

Well, how many people is he testing?

- How many, Jeff?
- Not many.

Ten, 12.

- You want me to go on a cattle call?
JEFF: Now, don't look at it that way.

No?
Well, how am I supposed to look at it?

You're the one that told me
to leave the show.

Because you told me that picture
was guaranteed, that I was set.

Heh. That's not quite what I said.

And that it was a great career move.
Did you say that too?

JEFF:
Well, you know--

I know that you are a creepy little snake
that lied.

And there is no way
that I am going out there to test.

[Slsns]

You know, everybody's right. Everybody.

You are a difficult little bitch
to work with.

You don't know
the meaning of the word yet.

Now, get out of here.

That's the way to go, Sue Ellen.
Tell that slimeball off.

[LAUGHS]

He wants Jackie Bisset anyway.

I knew it. She's gonna hit the bottle.
Never could take a setback.

You pushed her over the edge.

No, no. She's weak.
She had no guts when I married her.

- She came out of it all right, didn't she?
- Yeah.

- That's because I gave her the strength.
- Well, maybe she had her own strength.

[J.R. SCOFFS]

[KNOCKING ON DOOR]

Who is it?

MAN:
Nobody important. Just your husband.

She's married?

Disappointed? Wait.

- Hi. Ha, ha.
SUE ELLEN: Oh, am I glad to see you.

Are you?

Oh, it can't be. It's Nick Pierce.

He died when he fell off the balcony.

Dummy, dummy, dummy.
He never met you.

He moved to New York instead of Dallas.
He's alive and well. Look.

I don't wanna. I don't wanna.

[NICHOLAS MOANS]

Well, that was some little kiss.

Maybe I should lock the door, huh?

- No.
- I think I can wait until tonight.

All right.

Oh, uh, ha, ha, these looked much better
before I walked in.

They're beautiful. Thank you.

Sue Ellen,
don't tell me somebody's beating my time.

Oh.

My wonderful, uh, ex-agent
brought them to me.

- Ex-agent?
SUE ELLEN: Mm.

Sounds ominous.

What happened?

[SUE ELLEN SIGHS]

- That film he promised?
NICHOLAS: Mm-hm.

It's a crock.

A crock?

[LAUGHING]

Oh. That's nice. That's sympathy.

- No, no, it's funny. Ha, ha.
- Why?

Uh, because I took six months
leave of absence to be out there with you.

[NICHOLAS LAUGHS]

- You didn't.
NICHOLAS: Yes, I did.

[Slsns]

And now I'm a failure.

Are you disappointed in me?

Disappointed?

Sweetheart,
I am the happiest man in the world.

I was sick and tired of you
getting up every morning at 4:00."

...and coming to this dumb studio.

You know, to be really honest,
I didn't want you to do that film.

Why didn't you say anything?

Because I knew you wanted it.

And whatever makes you happy
makes me happy.

- That's why.
- Oh.

Why don't we go home
and make each other happy?

Right now?

Mm.

Twisting my arm.

I don't believe it.

That she was happy
without ever having met you?

We had something she'd never had
with any other man.

That's right. Misery. Pain.

And good times.

[ADAM SCOFFS]

You have the world's worst memory.

Sue Ellen was obviously
going to be all right...

...whether J.R. Ewing existed or not.

ADAM:
But you did exist.

And Sue Ellen is now living happily
in England...

...with her new husband
and John Ross by her side.

Interesting, though, without you...

...there wouldn't be a John Ross
or a Christopher or a James...

...or a little Jimmy.

You would never have met Vanessa...

...and the Ewing name has almost ceased
to exist.

Well, what are you talking about?

Well, Jason and Gary have no children,
or won't have.

Only Bobby
is carrying on the Ewing name.

Well, I bet Bobby's okay.

Well, he's so damn pure...

...couldn't matter to him
whether I was his brother or not.

You know what happens
when you throw a pebble in a still pond?

It makes a ripple, and eventually,
that ripple touches everything around it.

Why don't you just think of yourself
as a pebble?

Right, I'm a pebble. And what about Bobby?
Let's go see him. Where is he, anyhow?

He's living in Las Vegas.

J.R.: Las Vegas?
ADAM: Uh-huh.

[BOBBY GRUNTING]

BOBBY: Aah!
BOBBY JR.: We've got you. We've got you.

LITTLE ELLIE: You're down.
- Touchdown.

BOBBY: No touchdown, no touchdown.
You're right. Oh.

You guys are getting too big.
I used to win all the time.

That was some neat tackle, right?

Oh, yeah, yeah,
that was some neat tackle. Mwah.

- I'm hungry, Daddy.
BOBBY JR.: Me too.

Can we get some ice cream
or something?

Oh, it's getting too close to dinner.

I don't want your mom yelling
because you don't eat.

Come on, Dad.

Please?

[BOBBY LAUGHS]

All right.

But don't tell your mom.

And promise me you'll eat your dinner.

We will. Honest.

Yeah, come on. Help me up.

[BOBBY GRUNTING]

[ALL GRUNTING]

BOBBY: Ooh, good, good, good.
That's good, they work.

- Ha, ha. Can we do this again tomorrow?
- Yeah, we'll try.

- Okay.
- Okay, everybody, you get one thing.

- What do you want?
- Chocolate.

- Chocolate.
- Vanilla.

- Vanilla. What about you?
- Lemon Popsicle.

Ha, ha! Okay.

[ADAM YELPS]

Three kids. He's a lucky man.

J.R., Ellie and Bobby Jr.

- Nice kids.
- J.R.?

After his father.

What would the Ewing family be
without a J.R.?

[CHUCKLES]

Good old Bobby.

Still everybody's all-American.

Even all-Americans graduate. See?

Hi.

- Hi, Mom.
- Mommy.

- Hey, guys. How was your day, huh?
BOBBY JR.: Hey.

Wait in the car.
I wanna talk to your dad.

- Okay.
- Bye, Dad.

LITTLE J.R.:
Bye, Dad, see you next week.

You didn't have to come here.
I was gonna drop them off.

I know,
I just wanted to talk to you for a minute.

Annie, I know what you're gonna say.

Bobby, you're two months behind
in alimony and the support for the kids.

What do you want me to do?

Annie, I know!

Things have been rough lately.

Can't pick any winners?

Look, I don't wanna fight.

I know you care about the kids, but
they cost a lot of money and I need help.

I'll get the money. I'll get it.

Soon, Bobby.

Look, I'm sorry your life is such a mess.

But in a couple of days,
you're gonna be hearing from my lawyer.

And don't even think about seeing the kids
until you square things.

- Bye, Dad.
- Bye, Dad.

LITTLE J.R.:
Bye, Dad. See you next week.

[ENGINE STARTS]

Now, I know this one's not happening.

That's not Bobby.
At least not the Bobby I know.

It isn't, but you've forgotten
what Bobby was like before he met Pam.

Even your daddy
called him the company pimp.

Gary lost Ewing Oil.
Bobby never went into the oil business.

After Miss Ellie died, he started drifting.

He's just a small-time hustler.

Still trying to get by on his looks and charm,
but he's losing that.

Don't do this to him.

Well, isn't it Odd?

Everybody always thought of you
as the bad guy.

But it was standing up to you
and fighting you...

...that made Bobby what he became.

- Shall we join him?
- No. I don't wanna see any more.

- Heh.
-It hurts too much.

So much of Bobby we haven't seen yet.

Not now.

You know what?

Everything you've been showing me
is just baloney.

Heh. You really think I improved
anybody's life just by being there?

What do you think?

Well, I don't think it matters.

Because in the end,
everybody turned against me anyhow.

I thought you were off
that feeling-sorry-for-yourself kick.

- I'm just saying what is.
- No.

I'll tell you what is.

You didn't improve everyone's life.
Not by along shot.

Including the little lady
who ended up in the Southfork pool.

Poor Kristin.

I'm sure she wishes she never met you.

[SCOFFS]

That little bitch tried to kill me.
She deserved what she got.

The night she came, she was so high,
she thought she could fly.

That's how she ended up in the pool.

So we have to assume
she was much better off without you.

Well, I don't give a damn.

[BOTTLE CLINKS]

Not even curious?

Why don't we go see?

[SCOFFS]

Do I have a choice?

Now you're getting the idea.

We go where I want, when I want,
till you've seen it all.

Looks good, doesn't she?

It's hard to believe
she and Sue Ellen were sisters.

Are sisters. But not very close.
Kristin's doing quite well on her own.

- Yeah? Doing what?
- You'll see.

Although you might say
she's risen to the top of her profession.

- Mr. Smith?
- Yes?

I'm Lucy-Anne. You were expecting me?

Yes, yes. Come in, please.

She's a call girl.

She might be the hotel stenographer.
Don't be so judgmental.

Well, this is a pleasant surprise.
I didn't expect you to be so, uh...

KRISTIN: Well-dressed?
- Ha, ha. Right.

This is a very exclusive hotel.
I like to look the part.

Well, that you do.

- A drink? Some champagne?
- Champagne would be lovely.

- Ha, ha.
-If you'll join me.

Oh-ho.

KRISTIN: You gonna be in town long?
- Couple of days.

And then back home
to the wife and children?

No, no, I'm a widower.

Oh. I'm sorry. I shouldn't have asked.

No, no, that's all right.

I suppose
you just see mostly married men?

Mostly, but that comes
with the territory, I guess.

Do you mind if I take off my coat?

Do I mind?

Let me help you.

- Do you like?
- I like. Very much.

How about some music?

Yes.

[LIGHT JAZZ MUSIC PLAYING
ON STEREO]

Well, she sure figured out
where her talent is.

Of course, that's what I always told her.

[ADAM CHUCKLES]

You know what I've found...

...is you can hear that music much better
in the bedroom.

Well, now, I just bet you can.

But before we go in there, isn't there
a little something we need to discuss?

Oh. Uh...

How much?

What would you like to offer?

Would 500 be enough?

- For the afternoon.
- And tonight.

Everything's negotiable.

You're under arrest, Mr. Smith--

Or should I say "judge." --for soliciting.

What the hell is this?

She's a cop. I don't believe it.

I'm Officer Sheppard with the L.A.P.D., and
you offered me money for sexual favors.

- Oh, no, no, this is entrapment.
- No, sir, I taped the entire thing.

You made the offer.

You have the right to remain silent.
If you give up the right to remain silent--

- You can't. You're gonna ruin me.
- You should've thought of that before.

All right, now, wait. Just wait.

Now, we can work something out here.

Like a major contribution
to the policeman's fund.

- Don't add bribery to your charges.
SMITH: No, it isn't bribery.

Here, here.

Please, take this. Take it.

I don't know.

It wouldn't be right.

Yeah, but is it right to ruin a whole career
for one little indiscretion?

Can't we forget
that this thing ever happened?

- A couple of conditions.
- Anything. You name it.

- Never do this again.
- No, I won't. I won't.

And gel out oi LA.
and back to Washington today.

0 will, 0 premise.

You seem like a nice man...

...so I'm not going to arrest you.

But the best thing you could do
would be to never mention this to anyone.

You have my word.

I'm gonna start packing
as soon as you leave.

Good.

She may be a cop...

...but their pension fund will never see
a penny of that money, ha, ha.

Oh, ye of little faith.

[BELL runes]

- That was fast.
- All the same.

The minute they see that phony badge,
they fall apart.

And he was loaded, believe me.

ADAM:
She's a can artist.

[ENGINE STARTS]

Well, she's good. I'll give her that.

[ADAM SIGHS]

Funny, you like her better as a can artist
than a cop.

[J.R. CHUCKLES]

What a gimmick, huh?

With that body and that brain,
she is at the top of her profession.

What's next?

Well, I'm kind of hungry.
Let's go eat somewhere.

You can't eat. You're not even here.

- Oh. Look where we are.
- Where?

ADAM: That building over there.
That's where your brother Gary's office is.

You'll never guess what's gonna happen.

That's Valene.

You told me they never met.

And they haven't.

Not till this minute.

Um... Mrs. Wallace. Gary Ewing.

How do you do?

It's very nice to meet you.

May I offer you anything? Some coffee?

No, nothing. Thank you.

Why don't you have a seat?

Uh... Please.

So how may I help you?

Has to do with my late husband's estate.

- You are able to handle estate law?
- Of course. Why do you ask?

Well, you were recommended to me
by a friend whose divorce you handled.

So I wasn't sure.
Esther McKenzie? You remember her?

McKenzie. Yes, of course.

I'm glad she was pleased.

Yes, she spoke very highly of you.

Anyway, my husband's been gone now
for almost four years...

...and I've basically been tied up
in litigation ever since.

Four years? That's unconscionable. Why?

He was a very wealthy man.

You might have heard of him.
Alton Wallace.

Ah. Wallace Industries. Yes, I remember.

So why all the problems?

Since his death,
relatives that no one has ever heard of...

...have been popping
out of the woodwork.

All of whom seem to have a good reason
to challenge the will.

- He left the estate to you, I take it?
VAL: Yeah, a portion.

The balance was left to foundations
and charities.

Of course,
by the time all this is settled...

...the only real winners
are gonna be the attorneys.

I'm sorry.

I'm not sure
that sounded the way that I meant it.

[CHUCKLING]

No, I understand your point.

Know what they call a hundred lawyers
in front of a firing squad?

- No, what?
- A start.

[LAUGHING]

Then you do understand.

Mm-hm.

The question is, can you help me?

Well, I'd like to try.

I'll need a copy of the will and
the information on the proceedings so far.

Oh, I'll have that delivered tomorrow.

You still use the name Wallace.

- I take it you never remarried.
VAL: No.

I think you're lucky
to find the right partner once.

Never mind twice.

Mm. Still, you never know.

No, you never do.

Esther told me
that you've never been married.

Well, I haven't been lucky the first time.

As you say, you never know.

Hmm.

Um...

There's going to be
an awful lot of paperwork...

...to plow through once it gets here.
Um...

Perhaps if you had some time now,
we could go into it in greater detail.

Fine. I have nothing pressing.

You do understand
that if we sit here in my office and talk...

...I'm going to have to bill you.
- And out of the office?

I'm on my own.

Perhaps a drink somewhere?

I don't drink, never have, but, urn, dinner.

Now there's a chance
to get some talking done.

But not French.

I hate French.

Well, I was just thinking
how good Italian sounded.

It does, doesn't it?

Shall we?

I think perhaps we shall.

He's not gonna end up
with that Southern trash.

She's not the same hash-house waitress
you remember.

[J.R. SCOFFS]

She couldn't have changed that much.

You are a hard man.

- Don't tell me he's gonna marry her again.
- I'm not gonna tell you anything...

...except things work out
the way they were meant to.

As you shall soon see.

J.R.:
It's disgusting.

That's absolutely disgusting.

Why should that damned Gary
be so happy?

You know what?
I think you're a hypnotist.

And I don't believe any of this.
I mean, Sue Ellen on television...

...and Gary a big-time lawyer.
Good Lord.

You don't want any more?
All right. That's fine with me.

You think you're a great companion?
You're not.

All you do is bitch and complain.
I'll tell you what.

Why don't we go back
to where I found you? Huh?

Why don't you just go and pick up the gun
and the bottle...

...and get it over with?
And I'll be out of here.

- I didn't think you did tricks.
- I don't.

- Oh, what about that walk across the pool?
- What pool?

You see what you do? You get me so upset,
I don't realize what I'm doing.

All right? Forget it.

Never mind seeing Bobby again.
You probably don't care anyway.

I saw him. I didn't like it.

I don't like anything about this.

Nobody said you had to like it.
But it's the way it is. Or would be.

What's the difference?
If you're not interested in him...

.just pick up the gun
and get it over with.

Yeah, what kind of an angel are you,
anyhow?

You're supposed to be convincing me
not to kill myself.

So I'm not a hypnotist.

I don't know what you are
and I don't care.

But you do.

That's your real problem.
No matter how you try to deny it...

care.

Especially about Bobby.

You don't want anything bad
to happen to him.

That's why you won't go.

That's right.

Oh, Lord, now don't tell me
he's in more trouble.

MAN:
Judy, I'm home. Where are you?

JUDY [WHISPERS]:
Go on, get out of here. Hurry up, get out.

Call me tomorrow.

[GRUNTS]

[ENGINE STARTS]

I told you I didn't want this.
Now, what the hell happened to him?

Hmm, life.

It's just a man in over his head.

Every once in a while, there's a flash
of the Bobby you knew, but not much.

[J.R. SIGHS]

I can't take any more of this.
Let's go back.

Not yet. Don't you wanna meet
the new Mrs. Ewing?

[PHONE RINGS]

Hello?

No.

I told you, I don't know
when he's gonna be home, so stop calling.

[PHONE RINGS]

He doesn't live here anymore.

Where have you been?

Everybody you owe 10 cents to
has been looking for you.

I am sick and tired of making excuses
for you.

Are you through?

No, I am not through.
I know where you've been.

You've been out trying to find some bookie
that would take your action.

What I've been doing is trying
to find a way to get us out of this hole.

Well, you better do something because
I am sick and tired of living like this.

Do you think I gave up my job as a showgirl
to end up in a dump like this?

That was a real life.

And what about
all the promises you made me?

The only promise I made
was to say I'd marry you...

...because you said you were pregnant,
which, like everything else, was a lie.

I thought I was.

Do you think that I would give up
a glamorous job like that otherwise?

Glamorous?

You walk around without your clothes on.
With feathers in your hair.

Do you think that anybody could do that?

There are thousands of girls
who wanted my job.

I guess it's hard to find people
with your talent.

You've got it. And furthermore, if-

BOBBY: I am gonna go change my clothes.
I have an important meeting.

Where? The unemployment line?

Well, that's very good. You know,
I never appreciated your sense of humor.

Well, appreciate this.

I got a call today for a job in Japan.
They love big, topless showgirls there.

Well, a little ray of sunshine.
Some good news for a change.

They pay big money there,
and I'm thinking of taking it.

Talk about it when I get back.

Talk? I'll show you talk.
You're gonna regret this.

I can't believe he fell
for that pregnancy line. I just--

He's not the first one, is he?

Well, it wasn't the same
with Cally and me.

Anyway, pregnant or no,
how could he marry somebody like that?

Makes his first wife
look like Mother Teresa.

This Bobby is a lot more interested...

...in what's on the outside of a woman
than the inside.

Huh.

I must admit,
she does come well packaged.

Heh. But the voice. The voice.

Yeah. I found her a little screechy myself.

Still, she is Mrs. Ewing.

Well, where are we going now?

Why, to see another old friend of yours.

Now, wait a minute.

How could I have possibly made
any difference in McKay's life?

Isn't it funny how things work?

Do you remember your old friend
Jeremy Wendell? From Westar?

- So?
- Well, without you to worry about...

...he kept a close eye
on his organization...

...and realized
that McKay was a threat to him.

So he fired him years ago.

Yeah, well, what does that have to do
with McKay being in Las Vegas?

[ADAM CHUCKLES]

McKay and Johnny Dancer
were friends way back.

So he went to work for him.

Now he runs this little organization
for Johnny and his group.

[INTERCOM BUZZES]

Yes?

SECRETARY [OVER PHONE]:
Mr. Ewing's here.

Send him in.

Hey, Mac.

Bobby, Bobby,
you've been a very bad boy.

[BOBBY CHUCKLES]

It's just a little losing streak, Mac.
It's not serious.

It's not so little.

You've run up quite a tab
at my tables and book.

You've had my markers before.
I've always paid off.

You've never been in this deep before.

Yeah. It's just temporary.

Might be nice for your sake
if you won the lottery or something.

Oh. Never play that. Terrible odds.

[CHUCKLES]

Still full of fire, aren't you?

Well, I'm gonna throw a little water
on you.

You're into me for 50 big ones.

Because I'm such a nice guy...

...I'm gonna give you 48 hours
to come up with the money...

...or else I'll collect it
from your next of kin.

[BOBBY CHUCKLES]

All right, no sweat. I know exactly
where I can put my hands on that money.

Right.

But I could use an extra day.

Two days.

Fifty grand.

I'm not even gonna charge you vigorish.

But two days...

.or you're a dead man.

Bobby's in real trouble, isn't he?

And he's not the only one.

Eb, leave those kids alone.

[BABY CRYING]

You don't want them hit?
Then you keep them quiet.

- Damn little brats.
- Eb, please!

Shut your dumb face.

Pick yourself up, get my dinner on the table
or I'll really give you what for.

ADAM:
Look at that poor girl.

Of course, since you were never born,
you and Bobby never went to Haleyville...

...you never met her, she never ran away
to Dallas to find you.

Oh, she could have done better than this.

She wanted to.

Her brothers fixed up this little marriage.
Three kids, no hope, what a life.

Well, it's just not fair.

Cally doesn't deserve to be stuck here.

Look at the wonderful woman
she became with me.

Listen, dummy. There was no you.
Why can't you get that straight?

Of course, if you had a second chance,
I'm sure you'd be a lot nicer to her.

I can't believe
she's gonna end up this way.

She isn't.

Now, you two hurry up and eat.

Don't make a lot of noise.
I don't want you waking up your brother.

EB:
Ain't you fed them kids yet?

They're just finishing. Hurry up now.

BOY: I don't feel like eating.
- It's okay.

Things go okay at work?

Everything all right down at the mill?

[EB SIGHS]

The damn foreman chewed
my butt out again.

If he don't stop, I'm gonna tell him
to take his job and shove it.

He keeps ragging on me.

I tell you, one of these days...

...he's gonna wake up dead.

You know...

...the doctor comes
into Haleyville tomorrow.

I was thinking about maybe take the kids in
and have him check them over.

[Slsns]

Hell, nothing wrong with them.

But it's been almost a year.

Forget it.
I ain't got the money for no doctor.

I'll get it from my brothers.

Ain't you got no sense at all?

I don't want you over there all the time,
poor-mouthing.

You know how bad that makes me look?

CALLY: But a doctor--
EB: Forget it!

Get my dinner.

[BOY CRYING]

Kids are almost through.
Won't be but a minute.

EB:
I said, now.

Eb, you let them eat in peace.

[BABY & BOY CRYING]

Shut your face. You hush up too.

I'm gonna teach both of y'all a lesson.

Don't you touch my children!

Stop that damned yapping!

[BELT CRACKS]

Eb, leave them be!

Leave them be?

Yeah, I'll leave them be.

Till I'm finished with you.

You're never gonna touch them again.

[SCOFFS]

I am gonna enjoy this.

Oh, my God.

Now look how much different her life is.

And it's not gonna get any better.

Well, she'll be all right. It was self-defense.
He would have killed her.

You're forgetting
what part of the country we're in.

Poor little (Sally's gonna spend
the rest of her life in prison.

Doesn't anybody have a happy life?

Why, sure.

But you'll never guess who.

Oh, no, not him.

Please.

- Good morning.
- Good morning.

- Hi.
GIRL: Morning.

How's it going, Junior?

Excellent, Dad.

You didn't get in until late last night,
so I couldn't give you the good news.

He heard from Harvard.

And Stanford.

They both accepted me.

I'm really gonna need your input
on this one, Dad.

I know I would be happy
whichever one you chose.

But Harvard's closer.

Well, I'm not so sure
that should be my main consideration.

Yes, but why would you go
to the West Coast anyway?

It's so far from everything that matters.

Yeah, but Stanford is an excellent school.

CLIFF:
You're right, it is.

In the long run,
the contacts you make at Harvard...

...plus getting your law degree from there
is going to stand you in best stead.

So you think Harvard, then?

- Family?
- Harvard.

Harvard.

Harvard it is.

Congratulations, son.

Thanks, Dad.

Daddy, you are keeping next weekend clear,
aren't you?

- No sudden trips or anything?
- Next weekend?

Tsk. Daddy, stop it.
You know it's my coming out.

I'm sure your father was only teasing,
darling.

I would not miss your debut.

And you will never guess who her date is
for this weekend's cotillion.

Kevin Costner?

- Better. Henry Astor.
- Oh.

Yes, aren't you pleased?

Well, I'm impressed.

Good bloodlines.

Lucky him.

I'm sorry, you're gonna have to excuse me
because I have to start my day.

I'm due at the club.

I'll walk with you.

Don't forget we're having
the reception this evening...

...so you have to be home at 7:00
to change into your evening clothes.

- I'll be here.
- Okay.

- Love you.
- Love you too.

- I think I'm gonna throw up.
- Can you please wait till we get outside?

[J.R. SIGHS]

Why all the bodyguards?

He's in the rackets, huh? The family.

Shh.

He's getting ready to hit.

I had a meeting with the man
last night, Edgar.

He's very unhappy
about the foot-dragging that's going on.

He does understand I'm doing my best.

He told me to convey to you
in no uncertain terms...

...that he wanted action
and he wasn't getting it.

Did you explain my position?

He doesn't care about your position.

You know him, Edgar.

He can be a very good friend
or an implacable enemy.

What do I tell him?

I'll talk to my people.
He'll get what he wants.

Good.

I think you have the honors.

Hit away.

How did--? How did he ever get to the point
where people were afraid of him?

[ADAM CHUCKLES]

Owes it all to you.

Without you to hate, he never went
into the oil business...

...he followed his law career,
then politics.

Very successfully, I might add.

Well, what's that got to do
with the Mob?

You're the one who's talking
about the Mob, not me.

Would you like to see where he works?

J.R.:
Oh, my God.

- Harry, is the man available?
- You're having lunch with him.

Good.

I think old Edgar is finally coming around.

[PHONE RINGS]

Mr. Barnes' office.

Yes, he is. One moment, please.

Mr. Vice President,
it's the speaker of the house.

- Mr. Vice President?
- Not the same old Cliff Barnes, is it?

[ELEGANT MUSIC PLAYING ON PIANO]

[SPEAKING INDISTINCTLY]

[SPEAKING INDISTINCTLY]

You've done it again, darling.

Everybody seems to be
having a good time.

It's that new dress, it's perfect.

[PHONE RINGING]

Oh. Actually, it's from a couple
of years ago. I had the neckline re-cut.

- How did your meeting go with the senator?
- Edgar? Very well.

The president seemed pleased.
I think it took some stress off.

This is sickening. Absolutely--

Dad, there's a phone call.
It sounds important.

Thanks, Clifford. It's probably Pam.

She was supposed
to come to town this week.

Cliff Barnes.

I'll be right there.

- Cliff, what was that about? What's wrong?
- That was the chief of staff.

The president has just had a stroke.

As of now...

...I am the acting president
of the United States.

It can't be. Cliff Barnes cannot be
the president of the United States.

-It can't. No.
ADAM: Ha, ha.

Odd little twist of fate, isn't it?

I mean, that idiot can't run an oil company,
much less a country.

He's gonna bankrupt us in six months.

What if I told you he's gonna be
one of the great presidents in history?

I'd call you a damn liar.

Poor Bobby.

Even I'm starting to feel sorry for him.

[CHUCKLES]

[Slsns]

MAID:
Mrs. Ewing?

Telephone.

Hello?

Bootsie? How you doing?

BOOTSIE [OVER PHONE]:
Bobby, is that you?

Yeah, I wanted to talk to Jason.
The maid said he wasn't home.

For a change.

BOBBY [OVER PHONE]:
Is he coming back later?

[Slsns]

For a while.

You know, lwish you lived closer, Bobby.
I'd like to see more of you.

Well, it looks like you're gonna, heh.

I have to talk to Jason, Bootsie.
It's a matter of life and death, honest.

Well, you just fly your little tail
out here...

...and I promise, I'll keep him here
till you arrive.

- I'm on my way to the airport.
BOOTSIE: Bye-bye.

Thank you, Bootsie, you're good people.

She wouldn't take my clothes,
would she?

Why is he calling that miserable cretin?

You know how badly he needs money.
He's gonna try to borrow it from Jason.

Oh, you'll never get a penny out
of that idiot.

Now, why didn't he call Gary
or that half-breed Ray Krebbs?

They used to be buddies.
He'd lend him money.

Well, unfortunately for Bobby...

...Jock died before Ray ever found out
he was a Ewing.

ADAM:
Now, Ray's life. Whew.

That's really changed.

What do you think?
Do I have a future as a cowboy?

I think Krebbs is doing all right
for himself.

Never mind him, what about me?

Would you get off that thing
and get over here?

Ray's got quite a spread here.

Hey, Mr. Kleever.

- You about through, Ray?
RAY: Yes, sir.

She had a real good workout,
but she's cooling down now.

KLEEVER:
All right.

You know, I think I'm gonna have fences
to mend next week...

-...if you're interested.
- You bet.

Always glad to make the money.

I'll call you.

RAY:
Much obliged.

I guess you've figured out by now
he doesn't own this place.

Well, what happened to him?
He can barely walk.

When Jason took over Southfork,
Ray was out of a job.

ADAM:
He tried rodeoing for a while.

[CARNIVAL MUSIC PLAYING
ON SPEAKER]

ADAM: Did something to his back
the doctors never could fix.

So finding regular work's kind of hard
for him, but he keeps trying.

This is depressing me.

Why don't we go over
to the neighborhood bar?

[SCOFFS]

I didn't think you drank, being an angel
and all.

I just like the way it feels.

[COUNTRY MUSIC PLAYING]

Is there any way to get a drink
around here?

I've never been able to so far.

BARKEEP:
Where you been, Ray? You're late.

I'm sorry, I already had a flat.

Didn't have a spare.
Took me a while to get it fixed.

Yeah. Well, I've heard that one before.

Now, you best get that broom
and get busy sweeping up...

-...before the crowd hits.
- Sure thing.

God, old Ray's got a tough life.

I kind of feel sorry for him.

I thought you two didn't get along.

Well, that's not quite true.

We used to be pretty close
before he found out he was a Ewing, heh.

The way I hear it, you had your falling out
over a girl named Garnet McGee.

Remember her?
Little country-western singer?

How'd you know about that?

You have the attention span
of a rhesus monkey.

I told you, I know everything about you.

That means everything.

[GRUNTS]

- And you still wanna save me.
ADAM: No.

I'm just showing you
what you wanted to see.

What it would have been like
if you'd never been born.

[SCOFFS]

Old Ray ought to be glad I was.

Is this what his life
is really gonna be like?

Actually, it's not as bad as you think.

J.R.: Where are we?
ADAM: Shh.

RAY: Hello? Where is every--?
KIDS: Surprise!

KIDS: Happy birthday.
BETH: Happy birthday. Mwah.

Well, how about that? You guys.

BETH: Happy birthday.
- What a surprise.

How you doing, feeling all right?

- Have a hard day?
- Feeling like a million now.

BETH: Are you?
Good, come on over here and sit down.

RAY: Characters, you.
BETH: I think I see something here for you.

- Presents and everything?
BETH: Go ahead.

- Give Daddy your presents.
- Me first.

Okay. What do we got here, Jock?

[PAPER RUSTLING]

It's a real bola.
Got it over at Mr. Jensen's hardware.

He worked there every day after school
just to get the money for that.

Well, I reckon that's about the best knife
anybody ever had.

[CHUCKLES]

Thank you, Jock.

I guess I'm next.

It's kind of dumb,
but I thought you could use it.

Yours were getting kind of worn out.

That they were.

It'll feel real good to wear new ones.

Those are great, Andy. Come here, boy.

That's really a nice present.

And this is mine.

Well, it's really from all of us.

[PAPER RUSTLING]

Ha, ha. Can you get it opened?

What's it say, Dad?

[RAY CHUCKLES]

"To Ray Krebbs.

The world's best husband and father.

With love, from your family."

Happy birthday.

[RAY CHUCKLES]

I don't know why the good Lord blessed me
the way he did...

...but I must be about the luckiest guy
in this world.

[RAY SNIFFS]

- I love you.
JOCK JR.: Happy birthday, Dad.

Happy birthday.

Come on, let's go light all them candles
before I start crying or something.

JOCK JR.:
Dad?

- Crying? Come on.
ANDY: I get the first piece.

- I get the first.
JOCK JR.: Dad gets the first piece.

- Funny, isn't it?
RAY: Did you make the cake?

The only one of the brothers
that's happy is Ray.

Doesn't have much, works his tail off...

...but he's got the family
you always wanted...

...and never had with all your money.

Yeah. I'm happy for him.

It's something I'll never have.

I just wish Bobby could have it too.

Bobby. I almost forgot.

So did you come to Dallas to be with me
on my big night?

No. No. Instead, you show up here
to borrow money.

[CHUCKLES]

Well...

...not a penny.

Not a farthing. Not a sou.

You'd gamble it away
like everything you ever had.

You--? Do you think that I print
my own money?

I bust my butt to make it and I'm not gonna
throw it away on someone like you.

- Jason, come on.
- Shut your mouth, we're talking money.

You know, Gary once told me...

...that he felt there was a mix-up
at the hospital.

With you. And Mama brought home
the wrong baby.

[LAUGHS]

It's not funny.

I'm a Ewing all the way.

And I'm gonna prove it to you.

By lending me the money?

No. Hell, no.

But you can come to work for me.
You're a big hustler.

- You'd make a great real-estate salesman.
- You miserable excuse for a man.

Don't give me that. You think I forgot
what you did to Southfork?

Not to mention blowing a half a million
dollars of my money on your very first deal.

No. No, no, no. That wasn't my fault.

The whole thing was underfinanced. Heh.

Who knew the bottom was gonna fall out
of the market?

Oh, I see.

That was a coincidence, huh?

That was the one and only time
that you ever lost any money.

What, you think I cheated you?

[LAUGHING]

Sue me. Go on, sue me.

What do you say
I just break you in half?

Don't you threaten me.

You came to me looking for money.

And you probably don't even have enough
for a hotel room tonight.

Jason...

...Bobby's gonna stay here with us
tonight.

Not us. I'm going to Austin.

Gotta buy a couple of new legislators.

So you can stay the night.

But when I get back,
I want your butt out of here.

[BOBBY SIGHS]

Well, heh...

I'm sorry, Bobby.

It was important to you, wasn't it?

I'll bet you he was the last person
you wanted to ask.

When you need the kind of money I do,
you can't be picky about who you ask.

I didn't think he'd lend it to me.

[CHUCKLES]

But I did force him to turn me down
right to my face, didn't I?

[CHUCKLES]

Come on, Bobby.

Let's go inside and drink some of that jerk's
expensive wine and have a good dinner.

It'll be nice to have somebody
besides old moneybags to talk to.

Bootsie, did anybody ever tell you
that you're too good for him?

My mother.

[BOOTSIE 8; BOBBY LAUGH]

I don't believe it.
Why didn't Bobby kick the crap out of him?

He never let anybody talk to him that way,
especially a sleazeball like that.

Bobby just doesn't have
the spirit he used to.

But the night might hold some surprises.

[KNOCKING ON DOOR]

BOBBY:
Come in.

I brought you some pajamas.

Mm, is that kid stacked.

And ready.

Oh, boy, is this gonna be fun.

It'd serve Jason right if Bobby nailed her.

Quite an opportunity to see
just how desperate Bobby is.

J.R.:
Mm-hm.

Well, thank you,
but, uh, I never wear them.

[BOOTSIE CHUCKLES]

I suppose you've figured out
that I'm not real happy living with Jason.

Well, I don't see how you could be.

Listen, I am the last person
that should give anybody advice.

Why don't you leave him?

It's not that easy.

It may not look it,
but he's real good to me.

Well, I mean, I can buy whatever I want.

Oh, well, then he's a real sport.

It's just...

We don't have any kind of life together
anymore.

I know he's playing around on me.

He's got a girlfriend down in Austin.
That's why he went there tonight.

I'd do anything to get back at him.

She wants you, Bobby. Make your move.

BOOTSIE:
It's funny.

When we were first married,
he was real nice.

The more successful he was,
the worse it got.

He hasn't made love to me in months.

Now. That's the opening.

Well, Bootsie, if you wanna have an affair,
why not?

[Slsns]

But not with me.

Jason's a snake

...but he is my brother.

Oh, for God's sake, Bob, she's prime.

J.R.

She's gonna do it sooner or later.
Might as well keep it in the family.

No wonder my boss likes you so much.

Well, maybe there's another way
to get back at him.

How much cash do you need?

A fortune.

Fifty thousand dollars.

[BOOTSIE CHUCKLES]

BOOTSIE:
Do you know what's in my bedroom?

A safe.

Just filled to the brim with cash.

Money he's never reported to the IRS.

-Is there?
BOOTSIE: There sure is.

How do you think he gets approval
for all that junk housing he builds?

He pays off everybody.

All out of that cash.

So maybe this time, it can do somebody
besides Jason some good.

- Why?
- Why what?

Why are you doing this for me?

[CHUCKLES]

I don't know exactly.

Only I've always thought
that you were one of the good guys.

[LAUGHS]

And who knows? Someday if I dump Jason,
maybe I'll come and look you up in Vegas.

So do you want it or not?

Yeah, I want it.

Ahem, I'll even write him an IOU.

BOOTSIE:
Oh.

He's gonna know that you did this.

Are you gonna be okay?

He treats me like a piece of furniture.

But I know enough about his dirty deals
to keep him in line.

- Well, what are we waiting for?
BOOTSIE: Nothing.

[BOBBY LAUGHS]

[CHUCKLES]

Well, looks like Bobby's troubles
are taken care of...

...so if the show's over,
let's get out of here.

But the fat lady hasn't sung yet.

Let's stick around for the last act.

How come we didn't hang around Jason's
last night to see how it ended?

I mean, Bobby could have gotten lucky.

You don't have to see everything.

- So did he get the money?
- Of course.

How much?

Fifty thousand dollars,
just what he needed.

A safe full of money
and he didn't take extra cash for himself?

I tell you...

...Bobby's still Bobby, all right.

You didn't understand him before
and you don't now.

What is she doing here?

BOBBY:

Sit down.

Thanks for meeting me.

I don't have time.
I've gotta get back to work.

Yeah, right.

Well, it's good that one of us
is responsible and has a job.

[CHUCKLES]

Yeah.

Give me your purse.

- What?
- Give me your purse.

I've got some money for you.

I got lucky.

What do you mean you got lucky?

Well, I didn't rob a bank,
if that's what you're thinking.

I ran into a guy who owes me.

There's 25 G's in there.

Bobby, where did you get this money?

You know, I may have to be out of town
for a little while.

So I wanted to make sure
that you and the kids were taken care of.

You're scaring me, Bobby.
Why would you have to be out of town?

Are you all right?

[CHUCKLES]

You better be careful, lady.

You're starting to talk like somebody
that cares about me.

[Slsns]

You know I do.

I loved you.

I just couldn't be married to you
the way you were.

Well, you won't find many people
who would fault you for that.

Oh, Annie.

The one good thing I did...

...was have you
as the mother of my children.

Come on.

You should go.

Look...

...why don't you come over tonight
and see the kids?

They'd love it.

I'd like to.

But, you know, the thing is,
I don't know where I'm gonna be tonight.

Well, then if it's late, I'll wait up.

I wanna know you're all right, Bobby.

Oh, I'm gonna be fine.

Honest, I am.

Look, I'll tell you what.

Maybe I can make it.

Okay? I'll try.
I'm not saying that I'll be there.

- But I'll try, okay?
- No, it's not okay.

I wanna know how deep you're in,
Bobby.

You better get on to work. Go on.

[CHUCKLES]

Don't let this bag out of your sight.

Please, Annie, go.

What is he doing?

He just gave her half the money
he owes McKay.

Maybe he cares more about her
and the kids than he does about himself.

Well, he's gonna skip town, right?

I mean, if he only shows up with half
of that money, McKay will have him killed.

ADAM:
Bobby's a gambler.

Maybe he's trying to get things in order
before he sees McKay.

He's going to see him?

Oh, tell me that nothing bad
is gonna happen to Bobby.

You're really worried, aren't you?

You're damn right I am.

Bobby's my brother, and I love him.

Whoa.

Don't get mushy on me now.

This is not the J.R. I came to talk to.

Just tell me Bobby's gonna be all right.

Let's go see.

No. Uh-uh.

Hello, Mac.

McKAY: I'm surprised, Bobby.
I thought you'd be running for your life.

Who, me? Oh, no, Mac.

I wanted to see the look on your face
when I paid you off.

[BOBBY LAUGHS]

The age of miracles.

Don't bother counting it.
There's 25 grand there.

This isn't half down in easy payments.

I know. Mac, I took your advice.

I won the lottery.
There's another 15 G's in here.

How about you and I go in double
or nothing. What do you say?

He's gonna get killed.
There's nothing in there.

I don't gamble.

I make my money from losers like you
who do.

Now, just fork over the other 25
and get out of here.

You know, Mac, I'm surprised at you.

Now, I've heard that you have rocks
the size of the Queen Mary.

Are you afraid to go head to head
with me?

Don't press your luck.
Just hand over the rest of the money.

[BOBBY SIGHS]

You got it.

I was gonna add a little incentive.

You win, I'm out of Vegas for good
and you're ahead 50 G's.

It'd almost be worth it
never to see you again.

BOBBY:
One card.

Hundred grand or nothing.

Or maybe the word should get out
that I faced you down.

I think maybe that you're a dead man.

Ha, ha. Mac, you're too nice a man
to kill me.

Such a nice man,
know what I'm gonna do?

I'm gonna show you this card. First.

And then you can decide.

Run, Bobby. Get the hell out of here.

Well...

...there's only 12 cards in that whole deck
lower than that.

That's 3-in-1 odds in your favor, Mac.

That's pretty good.

Help him. I know you can.

I can't interfere.

You help him, I'll do anything you want.

[CARD RUSTLES]

[CHUCKLES]

McKAY:
Bobby!

Do yourself a favor
and stay out of my casinos.

Maybe a nice long trip
might be good for your health.

[SCOFFS]

Me leave town when I'm on a roll?

No way, Mac.

[CLICKS THEN CHUCKLES]

Well, I guess I owe you one.

Bobby's back on his feet now.
He's gonna be all right.

I told you he's a gambler.

By tonight, he'll have lost it all.

That's the way his life is.
He can't help what he does.

Bobby doesn't have a life.

ADAM:
So?

See what a difference you made.

[J.R. SCOFFS]

You don't think I believe all this, do you?

Cliff Barnes, the president
of the United States.

Sue Ellen making it on her own
and all that stuff about Bobby and Cally.

Things can't have changed that much,
with or without me.

Besides, what's the difference?
I still don't have anybody.

I'm the same as the first time I met you.

Then why don't you go ahead
and kill yourself?

[SCOFFS]

And send you back to heaven a failure?

You'll never become an angel. Ha, ha.

[LAUGHING]
An angel?

What makes you think I'm from heaven?

[LAUGHING MANIACALLY]

Oh, my God. What a nightmare.

I've still got nobody.

Nobody cares.

ADAM:
You thought it was a dream?

Go on.

Do it.

Nobody loves you.

They all ran off on you.

Why take any more?

Go on.

Pull that trigger.

Get it over with.

It'll be, oh, so much better.

Think how sorry they'll all be.

That's right.

Just one shot.

[sun COCKS]

That's all it'll take.

Do it!

[GUNSHOT]

Oh, my God.
