10x02 - Return to Camelot Part 2

Post by bunniefuu »

Bill Morris is on the phone from Navarro. Ewing is on fire.

It won't be too long before he gets tired of you...

and starts knocking at my door again.

You may be at Southfork, but it's me he wants.

In bed and out.

Just bought that big, new house, I'm rattling around inside...

maybe you can come live there.

Seven this morning, one of my guys heard a big expl*si*n.

He got over here, was gone and was on fire too.

expl*si*n? Somebody blew it?

Do you want me?

Yes, I do.

- I'll meet you back at the office. - Where are you going?

- I got some things I gotta take care of. - All right.

I knew it'd go well. Did I tell you I was right?

I told you that.

- It did go well. - Ha, ha, ha. Yeah.

Ewing.

?

Oh, my. I have to say, I was surprised to see you in at the meeting.

The zoo was closed today.

That's right. Go ahead, get some of that bitterness out.

- What makes you think I'm bitter? - Well, seeing me up there.

Having the whole oil community support me in my idea on the tariff.

J.R.: Yeah, I was impressed by the way you handled that meeting.

Best part about it, I couldn't hear you.

MARILEE: Now, J.R.

Since you and Cliff are practically brothers-in-law again...

do you think you should be arguing like this?

Well, honey, I'll worry about that disaster when and if it happens.

Well, I thought you'd be happy for Bobby and Pam.

Marilee, why don't you just stay out of this?

I always thought children should be seen and not heard.

I dumped you in the swimming pool before.

Would you like to try the fountain?

JORDAN: Now, let's everybody just calm down.

Fact is, Cliff's got a good thing going.

Jordan, I gotta tell you.

I was surprised the way you and the cartel...

jumped on this moron's bandwagon.

I got news for you.

Every independent in Texas is gonna be on my bandwagon soon.

Ha. Well, they sold a lot of tickets for the Titanic too. Heh, heh.

That guy's funny.

I don't know whether this should be a celebration or a wake.

Oh, definitely a celebration.

Here you are.

Thank you.

You know Bobby's the only man I've ever loved.

Ah, love.

That wonderful word.

All the dumb things we do in its name.

Maybe you and Bobby are different.

I hope so.

You know we are.

It's hard for me to believe that anyone who has gotten away...

would actually remarry into the Ewing family.

Especially with me as an example.

You're even moving back to Southfork.

Christopher can hardly wait.

You know, he and John Ross are going to be great friends.

Another generation of Ewing boys.

What a picture.

Maybe the oil industry will be just a memory by the time they grow up.

There won't be any competition.

Miss?

- Would you bring me another, please? WOMAN: Yes, ma'am.

Sue Ellen, you're drinking a lot.

Of course I am. I always do.

Didn't Bobby tell you that I'm Southfork's resident alcoholic?

That's not true.

It's close enough.

The funny thing is...

is that I know it's exactly what J.R. wants me to do.

I try to stop, but I just can't.

Why don't you check into a private clinic? Nobody would know.

- J.R. would. - So?

Once I start, it would be admitting to the world that I am an alcoholic.

I'm afraid of what he might do with that information.

He's had me committed once and he might do it again.

Just get rid of me once and for all.

WOMAN: Here you are.

Thank you.

Sue Ellen?

Don't do that.

Pam, it's either here or some place else.

The only way I'm going to stop...

is it I find something that means more to me than my need for alcohol.

DORA MAE: Good evening. - Good evening.

- How are you, Dora Mae? - Fine, thank you.

You must be very proud of your husband.

He's the talk of the club.

I bet he is.

- I have your table ready. - Great.

[CHATTERING]

You wanna go in? I wanna see somebody over here for a minute.

- Sure. Don't be too long. - I won't.

Oh, Cassie, send a bottle of champagne over to my table, will you?

But the gentleman over here asked me to send one to you.

Hey, how nice. Okay.

Cancel mine.

Well, the man of the hour.

- How are you, counselor? - Oh, just fine. Fine.

- That your wife you just came in with? - course it was.

You still thinking about getting a divorce?

No. Not if she can get anything in a settlement.

I told you that an annulment is the only way you can get around that.

Have you considered it?

Well, of course I have, but is there a time limit?

The longer you stay married, the more difficult it becomes.

- It's good to see you. - You too.

Hey, you were great in that meeting today.

Oh, thanks, thanks. Nice of you to say.

All right. Appreciate it.

Appreciate you being there.

JACK: How come you're not by the great man's side?

He doesn't like sharing the spotlight.

Sis, this is Trish.

Trish, this is my sister, Jamie Ewing... Uh, Barnes.

Nice to meet you.

Hello. Would you like some champagne or a drink, perhaps?

No, thank you. We were just leaving.

[CHUCKLING]

Wow, they just wouldn't let go of me.

Trish, this is my husband, Cliff Barnes.

Cliff, this is my brother, Jack.

Don't I remember you from the trial?

Yeah, that, uh... Not one of your better days, was it?

- No, but I think I made up for it today. - Yeah, so everybody says.

Are you the Cliff Barnes?

I am. Didn't I see you at the meeting today with J.R?

Not exactly with.

CLIFF: How come you left early?

Well, I guess old J.R. and I just ran out of conversation.

I'd think you two would be the best of friends after what you did at that trial.

I believe that he thinks the only good friend is a dead friend.

The man is a human blight.

- Let's go. - I'll see you later.

TRISH: Bye-bye. Nice to meet you. - Bye-bye. Nice meeting you.

So that's your brother.

Yes, it is.

And I don't wanna hear any smart comments about him.

No? No, I mean, obviously we think alike when it comes to J.R.

I realize that you two weren't close...

but you ought to have him over to the house sometime.

- Why? Because he's family.

I mean, I know how I feel about my sister.

I thought it would be nice to cook him dinner some time.

Yes, it would.

As long as you didn't take credit for the cooking.

What do you mean by that?

It means that you sure took my idea about the tariff then made it your own.

I see who's taking all the bows.

Hey, your idea wasn't anything like that, it was dumb...

and couldn't possibly work.

Just like me.

Oh, come on now, sweetie. Now, don't be too hard on yourself.

You're doing the best you can. And that's all I ask.

- Would you excuse me for a minute? - Yeah.

Cassie, wanna pour me some of that, please?

Hey.

Hey, Charlie. How you doing?

Good to see you.

[PIANO PLAYING]

Donna.

JR.

Can I fix you a drink?

No, thank you.

Haven't seen Ray around much lately.

Neither have I. And I don't really wanna talk about it.

I missed seeing you at that meeting today.

Oh, I was there.

Sitting in the back.

Sure don't expect a whole a lot to come out of that meeting.

Huh, well, neither do I.

But as much as I hate to admit it...

that bonehead, Barnes. Came up with a pretty good idea.

Bobby and I have been discussing it at the office.

And, well, we agree on something.

That's unusual.

Barnes is so busy slapping himself on the back, that group doesn't stand a chance.

But it would if you were there.

I doubt that.

Oh, come on.

False modesty has never been one of your virtues, Donna.

You were married to Sam Culver.

You know all the movers and shakers and the right political connections.

He“, you! stepson Dave is a us. senator.

What we need...

is for you to take over that group and give it the leadership it's gotta have.

Why is it, J.R...

that I just don't trust your motives?

- What motives could I have? - Well, for starters:

Getting Cliff Barnes out of the limelight...

having me take it away from him.

Well, I guess that's part of it.

It'd give me a lot of satisfaction to do something like that to him.

But the point is, with you the head of that group...

we could do ourselves some good up in Washington.

It's not a real good time for me.

No, it's a great time.

Stop you from moping around.

Get you busy doing something you do best.

Come on.

Think it over.

Well, the bar's closed or were you just eighty-sixed?

Not that it's your business, but I had dinner with Pam and Bobby.

Well, I'll bet you were a big asset at that party.

I went over to tell her how I think she's making a big mistake.

But if that's what she wants, then I'm happy for her.

And you're the only one.

There's something that I'm even happier about.

I know how unhappy you are about their marriage.

Anything that makes you unhappy has got to be good for the rest of the world.

[KNOCKING ON DOOR]

Bobby, Bill Morris is on the phone from Navarro.

Ewing is on fire.

Bill, it's me. How bad is it?

- All right, I'm on my way. Is J.R. in? - No.

Get the chopper meet me in minutes.

- J.R. gets in, tell him I'm on my way. - Yes, sir.

J.R.: Jenna?

Jenna?

Come in.

Oh, what's this?

I'm packing, J.R.

You know I can't stay here anymore.

You don't have to do that. Nobody wants you to leave.

It's not what I wanna do.

I don't have much choice.

I don't wanna face Bob and the rest of you every day.

I can't tell you how wrong I think Bobby is.

You would have been the perfect wife for him.

Well, that makes three of us that think so.

Unfortunately, Bobby doesn't.

He was never very famous for his smarts.

Neither was I.

I would have been married by now.

You're not leaving Dallas, are you?

Not right away. I wanna find a place in Braddock...

so Charlie can at least finish off the school year.

You know, I really think you ought to stay close to us.

You keep your horses stabled here, Charlie could come anytime she wants.

You too, for that matter.

I don't know.

Maybe.

Need any help. Money or anything like that?

Why are you being so nice, J.R.?

We", like I said before...

you're the one Bobby should be marrying.

And it could be a long time off before they tie the knot.

Who knows what can happen? I'd like you close by, just in case it does.

No.

I love Bobby.

But if anything does go wrong, he's gonna have to come after me.

Wherever I am.

And I'm not counting on it.

Don't close all the doors. There's always hope.

You can't live on hope, J.R.

I've tried it once.

It doesn't work.

I'm gonna miss you, Jenna.

That boy doesn't know the mistake he's making.

- Hi, Bill. - Mr. Ewing.

- How bad is it? - Looks bad.

blew, caught next.

We got the others shut down before the file could spread to them.

BOBBY: Can we get it out?

MORRIS: Best we're doing right now is containing it.

Pinky is coming with his crew here. They're gonna blow it.

BOBBY: How much are we losing?

Well, we're pumping a couple thousand a day.

Well, how the hell did it happened?

About : this morning, one of my guys heard a big expl*si*n.

He got over here, was gone, and was on fire too.

expl*si*n? Somebody blew it?

- Maybe. There's a lot of bitter people. - That's crazy.

MORRIS: Well, so is going bankrupt.

There's Pinky's rig, come on.

Pinky, this here is Bobby Ewing.

- Hi, Bobby. - Hi.

Well, what do you think?

Well, I can stop it, if you can afford it.

I don't care what it costs.

- I just want it put out. - You got it.

Okay, men, break out the suits.

Let's get it.

“I know...

it's gonna cost all of us a lot of money...

to fund this lobby.

But put your faith in me.

And I guarantee you, I'll get the results you want.“

[CHUCKLES]

What do you think? It's pretty good, huh?

Well, you used one word a lot.

- What?

You never mentioned Marilee Jordan or anyone else.

You're doing this for the right reasons?

Hey, come on, of course I am. It's all for the good of the oil business.

I have everybody behind me.

Even the two idiot Ewing brothers were at the last meeting.

I'm marrying one of these idiots.

Hey, I know. No disrespect intended. I like Bobby.

I'd just like him more if his name were Smith Jones.

Cliff? Oh, hello, Pam.

I just got the production reports back from .

So?

I'm surprised you haven't rescinded about pumping full out.

Why would I do that?

Because it makes no sense pumping that much at these cheap prices.

It makes no sense to whom?

To me or to anyone else.

Yeah, but you don't run this company and neither does anybody else.

I don't mind you having an office, but if you're gonna question my decisions...

you might as well stay home, clean house...

because it would be time better spent.

Why are you being so defensive?

I'm not, I just don't need anybody...

to tell me how to make business decisions.

Pam, it just came in over the radio.

There's a big fire at one of the Ewing fields.

MAN : Hold it! MAN : Come here.

They're trying to figure out where to drop the charges.

Well, what's taking so long? We're losing a fortune.

You want this done fast or want it done it right?

Noonan doesn't care how much it costs us.

No, but he cares about being alive after he blows it and so do I.

All right, keep in touch when he's ready to blow it.

All right, goodbye.

Thanks for coming out today, Monty.

Seen an awful lot of men. We'll be making our decision soon.

Sure thing, you know how to get a hold of me.

- Thank you, Monty. - Mr. Fallow.

Howdy.

- Wes Parmalee. - Ray Krebbs.

- Clayton Fallow. - Hi, Wes.

You must be tired of all the handshakes today.

- Looks like you're the last one. - Yeah.

What can I tell you about myself?

Well, where you've been working, experience, like that.

You know the Running up in Colorado?

Heard of it. Good reputation.

I've been the foreman up there for about a year for Mr. Constable.

I met him down in Houston.

- How's he doing? WES: Poorly.

He sold out to some doctors and lawyers.

Some kind of investment syndicate.

I took about as much as I could...

and then I decided I missed Texas so I came on back.

I wanted a job where I could deal face-to-face with the owner.

Well, that's Southfork, all right.

Mighty pretty place you have here.

Looks like it's been run good too.

- That it has. WES: I was looking around while waiting.

How many head you been running to an acre?

Two.

Sometimes three in the right spot.

About average.

I did some experimenting with a mile hybrid you might try here.

It could get you another head an acre.

Well, maybe.

Find the right man to do it.

WES: I guess everybody you talked to today said he was the right man.

You can tell I'm not a kid, but I know the ranch business.

And there's something else.

The moment I set foot here, I felt good.

This is a special place.

Heel like I belong.

You can pay me what you think the job's worth.

You'll get your dollar's worth from me and more.

Welcome to Southfork, Wes.

I can't tell you how glad I am to hear you say that.

We're just about ready right now.

Well, what do you think?

Well, how the hell do I know? Just keep your fingers crossed.

Well... here goes nothing.

[expl*si*n]

That did it, J.R. The fire is out.

Good, good.

Now let's get that sucker back in operation.

I'll talk to you later.

Great job, Pinky. I can't thank you enough.

Good, I enjoyed it myself. You know where to send me my check...

- don't you? Ha, ha, ha. - I sure do.

We'll get a damage estimate as soon as we can.

All right. I wanna make sure...

- how all this got started. - We will.

I hope it's not long before we get back in operation.

- It's not gonna be back. - What?

Not till I find out who's responsible.

- But Mr. Ewing... - No buts, Bill.

Now, I'll make sure that the crew stays on salary as long as I can afford it.

- Takes too long, they're fired. - We're talking a lot of people.

Maybe it'll give some incentive to find this bomber.

But that's it, the field shuts down.

Maybe he'll see it's not just Ewing Oil he's hurting...

but a lot of working people too.

BOBBY: I did what I thought was right. J.R.: I'm not arguing with you.

I'm saying. With those wells shut down...

we need all we can get out of Ewing .

Look, I don't want it happening again.

Well, neither do I, that's why I put patrols around the fields.

- I wish you'd called. - Wasn't time.

I'm late now. We can talk about it later.

I don't like you making these decisions on your own.

I can't wait till he's got Pam telling him how to run things again.

Maybe it you move the centerpiece a little.

JAMIE: That better? - Yeah.

I'm so nervous, Pam. I've never had a dinner party before.

- Oh, it's going to be fine. - I hope so.

Cliff and I have had Chinese takeout for so long...

- I think I've forgotten how to cook. - Smells great to me.

- Cliff, come on. CLIFF: I'm here. I'm right here.

I cannot believe I let you talk me into this.

JAMIE: Would you just open the wine, please?

What is this?

' Mouton.

Is that French? How much did it cost?

It's my contribution. Would you just open it?

It needs to breathe.

You want me to drink wine that breathes?

- Huh? PAM: Just... [DOORBELL RINGS]

I'll get it.

Bobby, I've been so worried about you all day.

- Nice to see you. - Honey, I'm all right.

- The fire's out. JACK: How are you doing?

JAMIE: I'm good. BOBBY: You know Jack Ewing?

- And this is Trish. - Hi. Hello.

Looks like we all showed up about the same time.

TRISH: Thank you for having us over.

You don't know what a big event this is.

- Hello, Bobby. - Hello, Cliff.

Anybody want a drink?

- No, thanks. - Sorry about the fire.

- It's just one of those things. - Lose a whole field?

We just shut it down for a while.

One of your big producers, wasn't it? My, that's a shame.

Well, don't shed any tears for us, Cliff. We'll be fine.

Okay, stop it. This is gonna be just a nice family dinner.

If you can believe that.

MANDY: I never get tired of doing just about everything.

What are you doing right now?

Well, they wanted me to go to Houston but I hate those bathing-suit shows.

I know, I've stopped doing them.

I've been thinking of going to Europe and trying my luck.

Sheila's doing fantastically well over there now.

- Thank you, ladies. - Thank you.

- Okay, well, shall we? - I guess it's time.

- It was great. - It really was.

I always love these lunches that we have.

- Son of a highlight in my week. - I know what you mean.

[LAUGHING]

Karen, I see somebody I need to speak to.

- I'll call you soon. - Okay.

- Thanks. - You're welcome.

- And next time, it's on me. Okay. - You got it. See you.

Hello, Sue Ellen.

Well, the Winger tramp.

Don't tell me that J.R. let you out of bed long enough to have lunch.

I think we should talk.

About what?

The only thing we have in common isn't worth talking about.

You don't understand J.R. at all.

He didn't use that line on you, did he?

Can't he come up with something more original to tell you?


Well, he tells me you have a drinking problem, and I see that's true.

I don't mind J.R. sleeping with you, I do mind him talking about me to you.

Well, he's very unhappy.

And I make him happy.

Do you?

For how long, I wonder.

He'll dump you like he has all the others.

No, it's you he's going to dump.

Really? I don't think so.

I just don't understand why you're still there.

How can you stand to live with a man who no longer wants you?

Being with J.R. isn't really living. Believe me.

Then why do you stay?

Because... except for him...

I love it at Southfork.

My son belongs there, and so do I.

And frankly, it won't be too long before he gets tired of you...

and starts knocking at my door again.

Tired of me?

Tired of me?

Just look at me, Sue Ellen.

I'm years younger than you, prettier.

He loves my body.

Oh, you may be at Southfork, but it's me he wants...

in bed and out.

Well... maybe yes and maybe no. We'll see.

Now if you'll excuse me, I'd like to eat my lunch.

You're gonna be a hard man to follow, Ray.

You've got this ranch running so well.

Easy for me, I grew up here.

Maybe I'll get you out in a helicopter tomorrow.

Really show you around this ranch.

Sounds good.

- You've got winter pasture here? - Sure do.

Takes about a week to get everything moved on up there.

An old-fashioned cattle drive, huh?

About as close as we get to it these days.

Well, I'm looking forward to it.

It won't be long before I can take all the responsibility off your shoulders.

Well, that's something I didn't think I'd ever be able to let any man do.

But I feel pretty good about letting you do it, Wes.

I'll take that as a compliment.

That's how I meant it.

Do you ever think of bringing in some Charolais?

We tried it once, didn't work out too well.

They didn't seem to like the hot summers.

Well, there's ways around that.

- You mind if I try it? - You're the foreman.

Do it your way.

I'll see you later.

You waiting for me?

JENNA: Yeah, I didn't know if I'd get another chance to say goodbye.

Have you decided where you're going yet?

Yeah, I'll find a place in Braddock, near Charlie's school.

Gosh, you know...

I just bought that big old new house, I'm rattling around inside.

Maybe you and Charlie would like to live there for a while.

Thanks, Ray.

But I just don't think it would be right.

Well, why not? I could take care of your horses for you.

At least when evening comes, we'd have somebody to talk to.

It does sound good... but I can't.

It'd be like hanging onto Southfork...

and I have to get ready for Charlie and me ...

To be on our own.

You're sure?

Yeah.

You belong here, Ray.

I don't.

- Mr. Ewing. - Yeah?

Mrs. Ewing is in her room.

Asked if you'd come up as soon as you got home.

Is she sober?

I don't know, I'm just repeating her message.

All right, thank you.

SUE ELLEN: Come in.

J.R.: Now, what's this all about?

You finally decide to leave Southfork?

SUE ELLEN: No, I just wanted to talk to you.

Well, I'm glad I brought along this bottle of vodka.

I know how much easier it is for you to say what you're feeling when you drink.

I don't want a drink, J.R.

I know how bad things have been between us.

And I know that most of it has been my fault.

What are you doing?

Why the getup?

I was just thinking...

that I'd like to change things.

To have our life get back to the way it was before.

Why?

Because there's something between us...

that I've never found in another man.

No one turns me on like you do.

And it's been so long.

Yes, it has.

Do you remember all the things we did?

And the way we did them?

I remember all the nights...

and all the places.

You know, I've really never stopped wanting you.

Can't we see if it's still there?

I want you.

Do you want me?

Yes, I do.

Well, you'll never gonna have me.

- What are you talking about? - Your sexual appetite.

From now on, when you and your girlfriend are in bed together...

I want you to remember how I look...

and how I feel...

because everything you'll be doing with her...

I'll be doing the same thing...

for someone else.

Oh, I doubt that.

The only love you have is right here in this bottle.

And I'm sure as hell not jealous of that.

Well, that was true until today...

but it's not anymore.

I found something else to replace it.

- Finally got religion, did you? - No.

Hating you the way I do is enough to keep me sober.

Heh, heh.

Once a drunk, always a drunk, honey.

By tomorrow...

you won't even remember what happened tonight.

You must have left this in my room by mistake.

CLIFF: Mind you, my way is the right way to do this.

Well, who's gonna handle all this money?

And who's gonna make the contact we need in Washington?

Are you figuring on going there full-time?

Hold on, now. One at a time, please.

Once we elect a committee, we'll get a treasure! set up.

I can't stay in Washington full-time.

Well, hell.

Are you just gonna tum this lobby over to some stranger?

No, of course not.

We're gonna hire a professional lobbyist.

Someone we all gonna agree on.

Say, Barnes.

What do you want, J.R.?

Oh, I just wanna say something.

I don't think anybody here is interested in your point of view.

- Well, I am. - It won't take long.

J.R., you aren't trying to disrupt this meeting, are you?

No, no, of course not. I think Cliff's got a great idea.

Come on, Cliff, let him talk.

Yeah, let's hear him.

Well, all right, but make it brief.

Thank you, thank you. I appreciate it.

We", like I said, I think Cliff here has a great idea.

We do need a tariff on imported oil.

It's gonna save us...

and we ought to give him a round of applause...

for bringing his idea to us.

[PEOPLE CLAPPING]

Now we come to the difference between creating and executing.

And if we're gonna get anything accomplished in Washington...

that is a key difference.

What are you talking about, J.R.?

I'm talking about the fact...

that I think we have the wrong people up here.

Look, we're just oil men.

We don't know the first thing about wheeling and dealing up in Washington.

Oh, sure, maybe some of us have a friend or two up there...

and maybe somebody even owes us a favor.

But we are going to be at w*r, and that is just not good enough.

And I hate to say it...

but I don't think Cliff Barnes here is the right person for this job.

You sure as hell aren't.

No, no, of course not. I know that.

I'm just a little old independent oil man like you.

But there is someone here who is right for the job.

Someone who has connections.

Knows politics.

Who was on the Texas Energy Commission.

Who was married to one of the greatest politicians ever produced by Texas.

And who has a stepson...

who is a United States senator.

Yeah. You all know who I'm talking about.

I can see you nodding your heads out there.

So if we're gonna go on with this...

I want an acclamation acceptance...

for the lady who's gonna run this whole shebang...

Donna Culver Krebbs.

[PEOPLE CLAPPING]

Not much, is it?

Well, it's clean. Not a bad neighborhood.

That's about it.

But at least it's ours.

You know, you can come down here and help us.

Why? I hate it.

Come on, Charlie. It's not so bad.

That's easy for you to say. You don't have to live here.

Well, we do, and you're gonna have to get used to it.

I never will. I would die if any of my friends came over here.

You get over here, and you help us now.

No.

Jenna.

Let he! be.

- It's awful tough on her. - It's tough on both of us.

She's gotta get used to it.

She will.

She's a good kid. Come on.

Come on.

You know, it's not too late for you to move on out to my place.

No strings.

I know that...

but we're here.

And I'm gonna make it work...

and so is Charlie.

You can't sit here all day and not drink, lady.

All right, ginger ale.

Straight on the rocks?

Are you sure this is what you want done?

Positive.

I've done some strange things, but I've never done anything like this.

I was told that, for enough money, you were the right man.

Well, this is true.

You'll get the rest when it's over.

All right, where can I reach you?

You can't.

I'll call you at the same number I did before.

J.R. Ewing.

Her name is Mandy Winger.

This is gonna be a pleasure.

Let's hope so.

BOBBY: Look, honey, I know it was rough on Cliff. It was the only way.

PAM: Did you see his face? He was really hurt.

BOBBY: If we'd have gone to him and told him what we're gonna do...

- what do you think he'd have said? - I know but...

Honey, you and I both know...

that Donna is the right person to run that committee.

She's the only one who knows how to get things done.

I admire Donna as much as you do...

but I can guarantee Cliff thinks it was a plot...

by the Ewing brothers to make him look bad.

Well, it's just not so. Cliff's nose is out of joint...

because he has to take a back seat to Donna.

She's gonna be in the spotlight, and he's not.

Well, I suppose so.

I just know he's gonna tell me...

what a fool I am for marrying back into that family.

Well, Cliff is usually wrong, and this is no exception.

Besides that...

you are not marrying the Ewing family, you are marrying me.

Do you believe that?

No, but it sounded good, didn't it?

[LAUGHING]

- Watch yourself. - Oh, Bobby.

It sounded good.

BOBBY: You married one of the Ewing family, okay?

And I don't really know... You gotta work in...

- Here you are, Mr. Ewing. - Thank you, darling. Thank you so much.

I tell you, it was disgusting.

I hadn't realized how far that woman had fallen.

She got me up into the room on a pretext...

and tried to talk me into making love to her.

It was all I could do to be civil.

Maybe it was my fault. I was mean to her at lunch.

I'm sure you had all the provocation in the world.

Yeah, well, she did say some pretty cruel things.

Yeah, it sounds like her.

She's not gonna be easy to get Southfork. JR.

Mandy...

you gotta realize that we are not dealing with a rational woman.

One of these days, she's gonna make a big mistake.

And then I'll be able to get rid of her for good.

- I hope so. - You can bet on it.

Darling, can I have the check, please?

Here you are, Mr. Ewing.

- Have a good night, now. - Yes, I expect I will.

Trust me, Mandy.

It won't be long. And our troubles will be over.

MAN: Sony.

Sony.
