Order all these things?

I mean, to tell you the truth, He never said a word about it to

Me.

>> fallon: daddy's such a Planner.

He does the same thing to me all The time -- slips in while I'm

Asleep, leaves a little note Saying --

>> krystle: excuse me, Mr. Beaumont, but, uh, I just

Can't -- I mean, I would have to Talk to mr. Carrington before I

>> fallon: well, those are Things that blake carrington

Bought hisgirlfriend.

You're hiswifenow.

>> krystle: I'm sorry, fallon, But this is not your concern.

This is something blake and I Will discuss.

>> fallon: you know, krystle, You haven't exactly won

Everybody over in this house.

>> krystle: I'm beginning to Believe that.

>> fallon: if somebody tries to Help you out, I should think

You'd take time to listen.

>> krystle: fallon...

I'm listening.

>> fallon: you've got some Things to learn about how rich

People function, particularly In times of crisis.

>> krystle: and you're gonna Teach me those things?

>> fallon: some of them.

Not all of them.

Just enough to keep you from Making a total fool of yourself.

>> krystle: why are you being so Helpful to me?

I certainly haven't won you Over.

>> fallon: That's right, you haven't.

But you see, if you embarrass Yourself, then you embarrass my

Father.

I don't want that to happen.

The rich are different, krystle.

Don't make any mistake about That.

See, the poor cut back in hard Times.

That's why they're poor.

The rich know that's the time to Spend.

The game is called Million-dollar spit in the

Ocean.

>> krystle: and you're gonna Tell me the rules, right?

>> fallon: the rules are easy -- Every card comes down and dirty,

And a strong bluff is worth more Than a full house, aces high.

My father's having people over Saturday night -- important

People -- people who are either Going to support him or they're

Gonna turn their backs on him.

Their decisions won't be based On the balance in his checkbook.

They're going to come in here And look around.

And very quietly they will judge Whether blake carrington's table

Is brilliantly set, whether his Servants continue to respect

Him, how his wife and how his Daughter are dressed.

From those things they will know His state of mind and the

Strength of his resolve.

>> krystle: what should I do?

>> fallon: well, call joseph up Here first and tell him to take

Those things downstairs and Divide them up among the

Servants.

And then go see james beaumont.

He's still waiting for you in The library.

>> krystle: do I thank you for This?

>> fallon: no. It's not a gift.

>> matthew: so you're going, Huh?

Huh. What the hell do you mean, You're going?

I tell you what I'll do -- I'll Chain you to that pipe before I

Let you go to any party at Blake carrington's house.

>> walter: oh, you will, will You?

What are you getting so upset About, matthew?

>> matthew: what am I getting so Upset about?

Walter, how long ago was it that The man put his dogs on you, had

You beaten up by his bodyguards, And then had you run off his

Place like a chicken thief?

>> walter: what's a fella Supposed to do when a wild man

In a jeep comes running right Through his wedding?

>> matthew: I ain't believin' This.

Why are you suddenly taking his Side?

>> walter: I'm not taking his Side.

Just trying to be fair, that's All.

>> matthew: well, tell me, What -- what are you --

Flattered?

I worked for the man!

I know what he can do!

Blake carrington would drive Into hell and hand-deliver an

Invitation to the devil if it Suited his purpose, damn it!

You know it, and I do, too!

>> walter: sure he would.

You know why?

'cause he's smart, that's why.

But it still takes a big man to Drive all the way out here and

Apologize, to admit that he's Wrong, and that's my kind of

Man.

And you know something else?

There's gonna be a lot of my Kind of men there saturday

Night -- oil men, big men, rich Men.

And let's face the truth, Matthew.

The big deals today -- they're Not made in boardrooms or

Offices.

They're made in parlors all Across this country -- parlors

Just like blake carrington's.

And if we want any part of the Action, we got to get into

Those parlors.

And right there, that's our Passport.

>> matthew: all right.

All right, then you go, because You're good at that.

>> walter: well, I am going.

I am going.

I wish you'd go, too, boy, but I Understand.

Well, I mean, I think I Understand.

I wonder -- is it Blake carrington you don't want

To see...

Or is it the thought of sitting There all night long looking at

His wife, knowing you can't lay Your hands on her, hmm?

Just think about it.

>> claudia: maybe walter's Right.

Maybe it'd be useful if you went To the carrington's saturday

Night.

>> matthew: well, now...

I thought you were sleeping.

>> claudia: it isn't just Walter, is it, matthew?

It's me.

You're afraid that if you take Me to the carrington's with

All those people...

All that talk about stock Manipulation, corporate

Raiding...

You're afraid I might not be Able to handle it, that I might

Have a relapse, right?

>> matthew: I didn't say that.

>> claudia: I know you didn't Say that.

I know it's what you think.

>> matthew: honey...

I just don't want you to push It.

I mean, I want you to take your Time and ease back into it.

>> claudia: this isn't the man That said to me a week ago, when

You brought me that car...

"Lady, I don't like living with A mental patient any more than

You like being one."

You.

>> matthew: I never said that.

Did I say that?

>> claudia: you did.

>> matthew: well, I have been Known to, uh, say a few dumb

Things in my life.

>> claudia: matthew, you were Right.

You know what else?

>> matthew: what else?

>> claudia: you've done a lot For me.

You paid all of those bills.

You never complained.

You didn't, not once.

This is my small way of paying You back.

So, if you don't want to go to The carrington's on saturday

Night, I'm gonna go anyway.

>> matthew: you are?

>> claudia: I am.

And you know something else?

>> matthew: what else?

Uh, there's bound to be a Certain amount of resentment,

But -- but don't you think that There could be some way that you

Then there is mr. Harrison and Mr. Carter to be considered.

>> joseph: I believe that my Arrangement is best.

May I have that back, please?

>> krystle: do you like your Job, joseph?

>> joseph: I believe I can Always get another one.

>> krystle: could you?

Even with a recommendation from Me that you are rude, petty, and

Insubordinate?
