I wouldn't put money on it. >> blake: you make a deal with

These people, you'd think they'd Keep their end of it.

The state department will want To know exactly what happened

Over there. You may even have to go before a

Congressional committee and the Press and everything.

Have you given any thought to What you're going to tell them?

>> matthew: I'm a geologist. I make holes in the ground.

I'm not paid to set foreign Policy.

>> blake: take a shot. >> matthew:

Okay. I'd say we damn well better

Start digging for oil over here A little faster and a little

Deeper than we have been. >> blake: good. Good.

You tell them that.

Yes? >> they're ready for you in the

Boardroom, sir. >> blake: right.

Oh, tell michael to drop Mr. Blaisdel anyplace he wants

To go. You might also tell that

Committee that if they'd given Those folks the f-15s they asked

For, they might not have been so Quick to throw us out of there.

Uh, never mind. I'll tell them that myself.

You seen your wife yet? >> matthew: no.

Your car brought me directly Here.

Your driver said you needed to Talk to me.

>> blake: oh, yes. That's right. I understand that you and my

Fiancée, miss jennings, knew Each other before you left the

Country. >> matthew: we were friends.

>> blake: good friends? >> matthew: friends.

>> blake: take a couple of days Off, matthew.

Go visit your wife and then Check in at the production

Office. We'll figure out what we're

Gonna do with you.

>> joseph: good afternoon, Miss jennings.

Mr. Afferton is waiting for you In the ballroom.

>> krystle: oh, thank you. I'm sorry I'm late.

>> afferton: I've been waiting 20 minutes.

Shall we start in the ballroom? We'll fill this fireplace with

Flowers -- stephanotis, pink Tea roses, and, of course, pink

Rhododendrons. At this end, we'll build an

Altar of flowers. Uh, you do like stephanotis,

Miss jennings? >> krystle: uh, yes, yes, of

Course. >> afferton: unless there's

Something else you'd prefer. >> krystle: no. No, that's fine.

>> afferton: I agree. That combination always brings a

Certain understated elegance. You will enter through that

Door, come down a center aisle Here.

Now, which music will you Prefer?

>> krystle: well, "The wedding march."

>> afferton: "The wedding March."

Which one? The mendelssohn or the wagner?

>> krystle: is one better than The other?

>> afferton: neither is very... >> steven: I think what

Miss jennings actually had in Mind was something a little more

Obscure. Maybe something for woodwinds --

Say, bach's "Siciliano" from his "Flute sonata in e-flat major."

You do know it, don't you, Mr. Afferton?

>> afferton: yes. Yes, I do.

>> steven: how do you feel about A woodwind ensemble, krystle?

>> krystle: I think that would Be very nice.

>> steven: what do you think, Four pieces, five?

We need a flute, a clarinet, an Oboe, a couple of english horns.

No, one english horn. And out on the garden, a

Wonderful, old harp. Maybe some strings -- a violin,

Viola. Maybe we could start with

Something like debussy's "Maid with flaxen hair."

>> krystle: yes, I like that.

>> steven: krystle, you look Tired.

I guess these last few days have Been kind of rough on you.

>> krystle: yeah. They have. >> steven: look, why don't you

Go lie down and rest? I think I know what you'd like.

I'll finish with mr. Afferton For you, okay?

>> krystle: thanks. >> afferton: she does seem a bit

Rattled, doesn't she?

Well, some of them just don't Seem to be able to handle it

Very well, do they? >> steven: handle what,

Afferton? >> afferton: you know,

Mr. Carrington, the Transition -- dealing with

Upper-class ways. >> steven: well, you seem to

Have handled it, haven't you? >> afferton: I beg your pardon?

>> steven: not mine, Mr. Afferton.

Hers. You beg miss jennings' pardon.

And you try a stunt like that Again, and I'll see you never

Work anything bigger than a cat Show.

Do you take my meaning? Good.

Now, what's next? >> afferton: serving

Arrangements. >> andrew: and this one will

Finalize it.

>> blake: yes? Who is this?

>> fallon: it's only me from Over the sea.

>> blake: fallon, is that you? Where are you, at the airport?

I'll pick you up. You're -- you're where?

>> fallon: daddy, don't you know

There's an energy crisis going On?

What are you doing driving Around in that gas-guzzler?

>> blake: what are you, anyway, A spy for ralph nader?

>> fallon: no, but I've got a Machine here that runs on hay,

And it gets 300 miles to the Bale.

That is, if you remember how to Drive one.

>> blake: and who was it that Taught you how to ride, or have

You forgotten? Pull up, michael.

>> michael: yes, sir. >> blake: I've got a little

Something to do, andrew. See you up at the house.

>> michael: it's good to have You home, miss carrington.

>> fallon: is it? Do I know you? >> michael: oh, yes, ma'am, I

Believe you do. >> fallon: ohh!

>> fallon: yes, I'm okay. But that damn horse isn't going

To be when I catch it.

>> blake:

>> fallon: oh! Oh! I can't --

Oh. I know you, blake carrington.

You paid that horse to dump me. >> blake: I didn't have to pay

Him. He works for me.

>> fallon: is there anybody in Colorado who doesn't work for

You? >> blake: oh, a few people, but

Not for long. >> fallon:

>> blake: oh, honey, I'm so glad That you're home.

>> fallon: are you serious? You really think I'd miss your

Wedding? I even gave up soccer matches in

Athens to be here. And that's not all I gave up.

There was this entirely gorgeous Goalie from --

>> blake: spare me the details. I'm not a soccer fan.

Besides, there's something I Want to talk to you about.

>> fallon: give me your jacket. Well, I'm certainly not riding

Back to the house in wet Clothes.

>> blake: certainly not. I'll, uh, go catch your horse.

>> fallon: thanks.

>> fallon: so, then I said to Myself, "Would daddy really

Appreciate a soccer player for a Wedding present?"

So I left him there. Besides, in his last game, he

Had his fibula broken in 2 Places.

>> blake: now, now, now. Fallon will you wind down for a

Minute, please? When we go back to the house,

With your brother there and Krystle and all the confusion,

We may not get another chance to Talk.

>> fallon: okay. >> blake: now, you know you're

Just about the most important Thing in the world to me.

>> fallon: "Just about"? You mean I've slipped to second

Place? >> blake: are you going to give

Me a chance, listen to what I Have to say?

>> fallon: yes, I'll listen. >> blake: I've asked cecil colby

To bring his nephew to the Wedding.

>> fallon: it's your wedding -- Invite anybody you like.

>> blake: his name is jeff. He's just about your age.

>> fallon: yes, I know him, Daddy.

We went to summer camp together When we were 11.

>> blake: oh. I told cecil that you'd act as

Sort of jeff's escort for the Day.

>> fallon: I see. And have you already negotiated

A bride price? What are you taking for me --

Cash or stock options? >> blake: you asked me what I

Wanted for a wedding present. The very best present you could

Give me would be to see -- >> fallon: to see me happily

Married and settled down? >> blake: that's right.

>> fallon: that is bull, daddy, And you know it.

Colbyco oil makes Denver-carrington look like a

Corner filling station, and That's eating your liver out.

You're not talking about a Marriage.

You're talking about a merger. >> blake: and if I am, what the

Devil is wrong with that? Am I supposed to be thrilled

Because 70% of the voting stock Of denver-carrington is going to

End up in the hands of some Greek bandit?

>> fallon: well, what do you Want me for, anyhow?

You have a son. That's a natural line of

Succession. Let steven get married.

Let him provide the royal heir. Give him the 70%.

>> blake: I'm afraid steven is Not going to work out.

>> fallon: well, why? What's the matter with him --

Low sperm count? >> blake: mind your own

Business. >> fallon: whoo, sensitive,

Aren't we? Okay, then what about you and

Krystle? She looks like good, solid

Breeding stock to me. Hey, I'm sorry if I haven't

Shown the proper respect. Well, what do you want me to do,

Anoint her feet in holy oil? Or would it be enough if I just

Get down on my knees and kiss -- >> blake: I'm not going to stand

Here and beg you to accept this Lady.

You'll just have to take it on Faith that she is the most

Important thing in my life right Now, and you and your brother

And everyone else around here May have to get used to that.

>> fallon: and you don't give a Flying damn that she'd rather be

In bed with somebody else.

Or do you?

>> michael:

Hello. >> fallon: michael, it's

Miss carrington. I think I remember you now.

>> michael: miss who? >> fallon: it's fallon.

>> michael:

>> michael: come on in. I'm not gonna bite you.

May I take your jacket? >> your taxi has arrived,

Miss jennings. >> krystle: thank you.

>> blake: krystle. Where are you going?

>> krystle: I guess you thought That was a pretty cute thing to

Do. I don't understand --

>> blake: it hasn't been a Perfect day, my dear.

I've been run out of one Country on a ridgepole, my

Daughter thinks she's a Born-again lady godiva,

So please forgive me -- now, Just what "Thing" did you have

In mind? >> krystle: setting it up for

Matthew blaisdel and me to run Into each other in your office.

>> blake: oh, that. >> krystle: what was it, blake,

Some sort of test? >> blake: krystle...

I don't suppose you'd believe me If I told you I didn't arrange

That. It was just a coincidence.

>> krystle: was it also a Coincidence that you didn't

Bother to tell me he was back In town?

What did you suppose -- that I'd Go flying off with him?

Is that what you think of me? >> blake: come inside.

We'll talk. >> krystle: no.

No, you talk too well, blake. You'd only convince me that I

Imagined the whole thing, that Nothing's changed and

Everything's exactly the way it Was.

>> blake: well? Isn't it? When will I see you?

>> krystle: I don't know.

I've got to get away somewhere Where I can think.

>> blake: well, at least you can Take your own car.

Now, this is a very impressive Gesture, but you don't have to

Go by public transportation, you Know.

>> krystle: it's not my car. Look at the registration.

It belongs to denver-carrington, Just like everything else around

Here.

>> andrew: blake... Our people in amsterdam called.

Looks like your price on the Tankers will be accepted.

>> blake: well... Maybe we've offered too much.

Withdraw the offer, drop it 10%, And resubmit it in two days.

>> andrew: all right. >> blake: oh, joseph, has steven

Arrived? >> joseph: yes, he has.

Do you want to see him? >> blake: yes.

No, I don't. Joseph...

>> joseph: yes, sir? >> blake: I'm going to get this

Family shaped up by the day I Get married.

>> joseph: yes, sir. Irish whiskey, then?

Make it three -- one for each Headache.

>> krystle: hi. Can we meet?

>> matthew: do you love him? >> krystle: yes, I do.

At least I...

I thought I did. After you left, I, uh...

I told myself you were dead. Some days, I wished you were.

I must have written you over a

Hundred letters. Never even mailed you one.

Tell me, matthew... Did I just imagine what we had

Together? Or was it just some...

Dumb affair? >> matthew: you've got hold of

Something good. Grab it around the middle and

Run with it, krystle. Don't ever look back.

>> krystle: but if I thought That we had a chance...

>> matthew: thereisno chance. >> krystle: because of your

Situation? I understand that, uh...

I know that divorce is out of The question.

>> matthew: it's not that. >> krystle: what is it, then?

Is it that you don't care for me Anymore?

>> matthew: that's right. I don't.

>> krystle: you say that pretty Easily.

>> matthew: the truth isn't hard To say.

Just spit it out and kick sand Over it.

>> krystle: I'm, uh...Sorry. I guess I shouldn't...

Could we go back now? >> fallon: well...Maybe we

Should look at this whole thing Philosophically.

The lord giveth, and the lord Taketh away.

>> steven: you don't seem so Altogether heartbroken that

Krystle's taken off. Why doesn't he just go get her

And bring her back if that's What he wants?

>> fallon: why don't you ask Him?

>> steven: because he won't Talk to me.

>> fallon: well, you're lucky. He'd sell me into the harem of a

Sheik for three barrels of crude And a box of cigars.

And I thought we were raised to Believe that blood is thicker

Than money. >> steven: come on, fallon.

He'd stick his hand into an Electric fan if you asked him

To. Even when mother was here, he

Loved you better than anybody. >> fallon: well, that's what I

Mean. He used to be a fair judge of

Women. I think he suffered irreversible

Brain damage from breathing Too much dime-store perfume.

>> steven: don't you think That's being a little tough on

Krystle? I mean, she's got some nice

Qualities. >> fallon: so does a cocker

Spaniel, but I wouldn't want my Father to marry one.

I think he could do better. >> steven: so could you.

>> fallon: oh? >> steven: I mean, the

Chauffeur? Come on, fallon.

You really need to rub dad's Nose in it, don't you?

>> fallon: certainly not. I'm thinking of writing a book,

That's all -- "Handling the servant problem."

Are you gonna tell him? >> steven: you know I wouldn't

Do that. Besides, I'd have to send him a

Telegram. Did dad say anything to you?

I-I mean, about me? >> fallon: nothing that made any

Sense. >> steven: why does he seem so

Angry at me? >> fallon: I don't know.

What have you done?
