10x16 - Tick, Tock

Post by bunniefuu »

Would you wait a minute? Now come on.

Stay right there.

John Ross was cheating. If he doesn't stop that...

then they have to stop playing together.

You want me to use my sister as a spy.

[CHUCKLING] And I told you I can't do that.

You know what my conditions are, Cliff.

It hurts that you would think of Jenna's child before your own son.

But I can't ignore the fact that Jenna is carrying my child.

DALTRY: What happens between you and ED. is your business.

This was our last meeting, Mr. Ewing.

[CLOCK TICKING]

DALTRY: Miss? WOMAN: Yes, sir?

- Another soda water, please. - Right away.

Thank you.

DALTRY: You're late, Mr. Ewing.

Better late than never.

Now what does that mean?

You know damn well what I mean.

B.D. Calhoun is out to k*ll me.

Well, now.

Why would B.D. want to k*ll you?

I don't know how, but I guarantee you.

He knows I'm the one who set him up.

He certainly didn't learn it from us.

We were very discreet.

Discreet enough to get Garrett Gordon k*lled.

You're seeing shadows everywhere.

What would Gordon's death have to do with you?

He's the one who set up my first meeting with ED.

He was trying to make a deal for me.

But if B.D. k*lled him...

he wouldn't have just dumped him in an alley somewhere.

Would he?

No.

He left him in my office in a chair.

Then how'd the body get in the alley?

Surely, you know it's a criminal offense to interfere with a police investigation.

Don't play games. I'm in this fix because of you.

No.

You started what could have been a major international incident.

We prevented it.

Now what happens between you and ED. is your business.

Although I will tell you one thing.

Gordon wasn't still a member of the company.

But he was a good man.

One day we'll get Calhoun.

One day?

That'll do me a hell of a lot of good.

This was our last meeting, Mr. Ewing.

But if it will ease your mind, it does seem like Calhoun...

is playing some kind of a game with you.

One which doesn't involve your death.

Be grateful.

The longer he stays in the country, the more risk he takes.

He knows that.

I think the worst time for you has already passed.

But then again...

I could be wrong.

RAY: Sure do appreciate the trouble you've gone to, Jenna.

Well, what are friends for? I owe you an awful lot, Ray.

Not sure Irish stew's gonna make up for it.

Oh, no. This is wonderful.

Sure I couldn't hire you full time as a cook?

Ha-ha. I've had worse offers.

Good hours. Good pay. Good company.

Yeah.

Where you gonna b*at a deal like that?

What would the neighbors think?

Probably just try to get themselves invited over.

Heh.

Looks just great.

I'm sorry about the divorce, Ray.

I know how hard it is on you.

Well, I can't say I didn't see it coming.

Doesn't make it any easier, though.

Ray, you told me how different you and Donna are.

Maybe in the long run, it's for the best.

Best for who?

For the baby?

For me?

Tell you who it's best for.

Best for Donna.

Just like every other time, whatever's best for Donna.

I'm not so sure she's gonna get it her way this time.

Get her way with what?

Our child.

You're not gonna fight her for custody of the child, are you?

I don't know yet.

I've been giving it a lot of thought.

Why shouldn't I?

That baby will be a lot better off with me herein Texas...

than shuttling back and forth with Donna to Washington.

What if she decides to move there for good?

No comment, huh?

No, it's none of my business.

You do what you think is right.

You still don't agree with me.

No, I don't.

Why not?

Why should Donna be the one that decides about our child?

Because she's the mother.

And a child's place is with its mother.

That's pretty cut-and-dried, isn't it?

Ray, I don't wanna argue with you about this.

I know you think your situation is different than Bobby's and mine.

And you're right. It is.

Damn right, it is.

Just like night and day.

Jenna.

I understand how you feel...

about not wanting your child to know anything about Bobby.

But Donna's the one that's running out on me.

I want my child to know its father.

Can we please change the subject?

Obviously, we don't see eye to eye on this.

The decision is yours to make... not mine.

I'm sorry.

You're right.

This is one decision I'm gonna have to make on my own.

Hi, honey.

Hi. You know what time it is? We're late for dinner.

That can wait. I have to talk to you.

Bobby?

I saw Jenna a couple of days ago.

You waited until now to tell me?

I had to sort out a couple of things.

Why did you see her?

She called me. She wanted to meet. She sold the boutique.

Wanted to pay the money I loaned her.

Good. Less reason to have her around.

You did take the money?

I didn't want to, Pam.

Well, why not?

You loaned her money, what's wrong with paying you back?

I took the check. I'm just not gonna cash it.

What are you going to do with it?

I'm gonna start a trust fund for the baby.

You're going to start a trust fund for Jenna's baby?

What's wrong with that?

Have you forgotten our child?

- Of course not. - What about Christopher's trust fund?

But Christopher doesn't need a trust fund.

Well, maybe not.

But it hurts me that you would think of Jenna's child before your own son.

Pam, that's just not true.

You know how I feel about you and Christopher.

But I can't ignore the fact that Jenna is carrying my child.

I feel I need to do something.

Oh, all right. Do something. Start a trust fund.

Do whatever you want to.

I just wish that Jenna Wade would pack and get out of Dallas.

Pam...

can't you understand?

No, I can't. I've tried and I can't.

Bobby, I wish none of this had ever happened.

[SIGHS]

- Morning, Cliff. - Morning, Jackie. Any calls?

No. Oh, Pam said she wanted to see you as soon as you came in.

Okay.

- No calls? - No, Cliff.

[KNOCK ON DOOR]

Come in.

Good morning, Pam.

- What's up? - This is. Do you know what these are?

Yeah, drilling reports for . What are you doing with them?

- Well, I'm studying them. - Why?

Because I remember Jamie talking to you about them and she was right.

You should have cut back on production a long time ago.

Who d*ed and made you an expert?

You don't have to be an expert to see that you're pumping too much oil.

- You forgetting what our deal is? - No.

I own percent of Barnes-Wentworth.

Yeah, but that percent does not give you any say in how I run my company.

All it does is allow you to make decisions on companies we're buying.

- Are you through? - Yup.

So as you got it straight.

Let me help you get something straight.

I told you a week ago that I wanted my money.

You've only got a couple of days left, I haven't seen one penny of it.

[SCOFFS]

- There's no reason to be like this. - Oh, Cliff, please.

I have every reason to not even speak to you, much less argue with you.

That's not fair.

You're the one who's not fair. You never give anyone a chance.

Cliff, you're my brother, I love you...

but I'm not going to let you treat me the way you have been.

I'll get your money for you, huh? I will.

No matter what I have to do...

I will get your money for you.

[DOOR SLAMS]

DORA MAE: Good afternoon, Mr. Ewing.

Dora Mae, how you doing?

- Fine, sir. Your table's ready. - Yeah.

Well, this is very nice of you, J.R.

Well, we really haven't had a chance to talk. Best to get away from the office.

Matter of fact, we haven't had a chance to have lunch in a long time.

- Can I bring you something from the bar? - Sly?

- Oh, some white wine, please. - I'll take my usual.

I'll have Cassie bring it over.

Oh, I'm expecting Harry McSween.

- Send him over when he gets here. - Yes, sir.

I didn't know Uncle Harry would be joining us?

Sly, you haven't said much about what happened at the office.

- But I know it's on your mind. - Well, it is.

And all those t*rrorists running around.

Who knows where they might strike next.

Yeah, exactly.

That's why I thought a little talk with your uncle might help.

Here you are. Would you like to see the menu?

Maybe a little later.

Has he really been working with the FBI on this?

- Why don't you ask him yourself? - J.R.

- Uncle Harry. - Sly.

J.R.: Sit down, Harry.

You got a very nervous little niece here.

Well, I've got some good news for both of you.

You caught the men who did it.

No, not me personally.

But I just heard that the group's been identified.

They have the leader and two of his men in custody.

J.R.: Oh?

Who is it, Harry?

Just like we figured, a radical splinter group.

Then it's over. We don't have to worry about them anymore.

Yeah. Things are looking up, aren't they?

[CHUCKLES]

[CLOCK TICKING]

[CATTLE LOWING]

[HORSE NEIGHS]

RAY: Oh.

Work them out real good. It's pretty hot.

- Put this saddle on Magic for me. Hey. - Okay, boss.

Hey, you were really going at it out there.

- Heh-heh. Yeah, I guess I was. - Ha-ha.

What brings you out here?

Well, cutting horses, what else.

It's time to stop talking and start doing.

If you're still interested.

As a matter of fact, you couldn't have asked me at a better time.

Timing's everything, isn't it?

Yeah.

I figure I sat around long enough.

Time to get on with my life.

Accept the fact that Donna's gone and just move ahead.

Well, I'm all for that.

Wish I could do the same.

Parmalee? That still bothering you?

More than I like.

Sounds to me like getting back to work...

is just what the doctor ordered for the two of us.

That's what I'm hoping for, Ray.

Maybe if I dig into this business, I'll get around to being my old self again.

That's it.

Any idea when you plan on getting started?

Next week, too soon?

Oh, next week will be just fine.

Then we'll go over to the bankers on Monday morning...

draw up the papers...

and we'll file for our business permit.

Well, that's just great.

- I'll pick you up Monday morning. - See you then.

[PHONE RINGING]

Hello.

Donna Culver-Krebbs?

Yes.

It's Andrew Dowling.

Senator Dowling?

What a surprise.

{\i }I miss my sparring partner.{\i }

[LAUGHS]

Don't laugh. It's dull here without you.

I expected you back long before now.

{\i }I talked to Dave, he told me you weren't sure...{\i }

{\i }when you were coming back to Washington.{\i }

Well, I have to admit, I'm...

I'm starting to miss it a little.

I hope so.

You're certainly not doing any good for your oil lobby in Texas.

Those people already agree with your cause.

Well, that's true.

We", come on, grab a plane. I'll make dinner reservations for tomorrow night.

I cannot get out of here that fast.

Maybe in a couple of days.

[SIGHS]

I have to admit, there's really no reason for me to hang around here.

No, there isn't.

And I need you here.

What?

Well, you're the only one who ever disagrees with me.

And I like that.

Good night, Senator Dowling.

Good night, Mrs. Krebbs.

[LINE CLICKS]

CHRISTOPHER: Thanks, Mom. I'm going to look at the toys.

Okay. Don't run.

[LAUGHS]

Uh... Pam, don't you think you've overdone it?

Overdone it?

The shopping.

You bought Christopher everything except a fur coat.

Don't you think it's just a little bit much?

Maybe. Heh.

I guess it's a reflex action.

Every time I hear Jenna Wade's name...

I get so defensive of Christopher.

Well, obviously, you have heard it recently.

Mm-hm. She went to see Bobby.

She paid him back for the boutique.

Well, what's wrong with that?

Bobby's gonna use the money to start a trust fund for her baby.

Oh, I know, it's Bobby's baby too.

And Christopher has all the money he'll ever need, but...

I have this terrible fear...

that Jenna's baby is gonna be special to Bobby.

More than Christopher?

Pam, don't be silly.

Bobby loves him.

Well, I know.

Maybe it's silly and irrational, but Christopher is my son.

I can't help it.

I don't think that all this shopping is going to do anything...

except spoil him.

I just want him to know how much he's loved.

SUE ELLEN: Oh! Oh, goodness.

Oh, I'm terribly sorry.

It's you.

Mrs. Ewing. I'm doubly sorry.

We have got to stop meeting like this.

[CHUCKLES]

Uh... I'm terribly sorry. I've forgotten your name.

Peter Duncan.

Mr. Duncan, my sister-in-law...

- Pamela Ewing. - Uh...

- Ha-ha-ha. My pleasure. - Mr. Duncan.

Listen, ladies, I'm in a little bit of a hurry, but if you'll excuse me.

- You sure you found everything? - Everything is fine. We'll manage.

Again, please accept my apology.

And it was a pleasure meeting you, Mrs. Ewing.

Nice meeting you.

Bye-bye.

Where do you know him from?

I met him at the Oil Baron's Club.

{\i }He's{\i } very attractive.

Yes, he is.

Well, I don't know about you, but I am starving.

Oh, so am I. How about some lunch?

Kids. Come on. How about some lunch?

CHRISTOPHER: Yeah, Mom, I'm starving.

JOHN ROSS: Could we get hamburgers?

SUE ELLEN: Yeah, right over there. PAMELA: Okay.

CLIFF: Oh.

- Would you care for something to drink? - No, no, thank you.

Mr. Wendell will be right with you.

Good. Thank you. Thank you.

[DOOR CLOSES]

Well, Cliff.

Don't usually do business at my home on the weekends. What's so important?

It's about this deal I got into.

I doubt that any deal you're involved in would interest me.

No, no. I don't wanna get you into the deal.

I just need someone to back me for a while.

The last meeting you didn't wanna have anything to do with me.

What could possibly have changed since last week?

I ran into a bit of a money problem.

And I might need some ready cash just to close it.

What's that have to do with me?

You said you thought we could do business together.

You know what my conditions are, Cliff.

No, you want me to use my sister as a spy...

and I told you I can't do that.

So why are you here?

I need to secure a small loan.

Small means different things to different people.

How much were you thinking of?

Six million dollars. Yeah. Okay. Yeah. That will do it. Six.

It's hardly a small amount of money.

Well, now look, I know that.

But now that's what I need to keep this thing going.

What sort of security do you have?

Security?

Oh, well, look, I'll pay you back. You don't have to worry about that.

I would need something a little more substantial than that.

Like what?

Your percent of Wentworth Tool and Die...

as collateral.

My percent? Ha-ha.

That's outrageous. You know, that's highway robbery.

Why don't you just ask me for Barnes-Wentworth too?

Nobody's holding you here.

Why don't you go somewhere else for your loan? Why not a bank?

I got a bit of a problem with the bank.

Because I don't want Pam to know that I'm borrowing the money.

Well, that does limit your choices.

And I'm extremely busy.

- So are you in or out? - I'm in because I need the money.

All right.

Come to my office Monday morning. I'll have all the papers ready.

And one more thing.

Don't think of this as just a loan.

No? What is it?

Think of it as the start...

- of a long and rewarding relationship. - Yeah.

Leonard, will you show Mr. Barnes out, please?

[CLIFF CHUCKLES]

Yeah. Thank you.

WENDELL: Oh, Cliff? - Yeah?

I'm curious. You know anything about a woman named April Stevens.

I saw her with J.R.

That doesn't surprise me. What do you wanna know about her?

In your opinion, what kind of woman is she?

Hungry.

She's money hungry. She's man hungry.

Man, I'm glad I dumped her, really.

I mean she'd sell her own mother for the right price.

Seriously. Hey, for the wrong price.

Thank you. It's what I wanted to know.

Glad I could help. Heh.

[DOOR OPENS]

That bitter little man.

[DOOR CLOSES]

Well, he's not your biggest fan.

I suppose not.

But how is that for a character reference?

Just what I wanted to hear.

I like people who sell to the highest bidder.

It's always me.

Oh. This is the strangest thing...

but I can't find my car keys.

Did you leave them in the restaurant?

No. I never took them out at the restaurant.

I could have sworn they were in my purse.

Is everything else there?

I'll find out.

Uh... Yes, well, here's my license and credit cards.

Is there any identification on the key ring?

No, just the house and the car keys.

Well, it's no big deal. I have a spare set at home.

I think we should go back to the restaurant.

If they're not there, then we're gonna have to call someone...

and have them come and pick us up.

Okay. It's all right, I'll buy dessert. Come on, boys.

- I'm sorry. PAMELA: More to eat.

- Come on. CHRISTOPHER: Okay.

[BOWLING PINS CLACKING]

Dam it.

What"? Come on. Let me show you something, okay?

Now on your approach.

Just hold the ball real steady.

And then take four steps.

One, two, three, four.

All right?

Relax. You'll pick up a spare.

Four steps.

Hey, look at that. Just like that.

[LAUGHS]

RAY: Way to go. - That's great. There you go.

Thanks, Ray.

Don't thank me. You're the one that did it.

Excuse me. I'm going to the powder room.

- I'll be right back. - Oh, go ahead.

[MUTTERS]

One-nineteen to .

- Oh, my God. - Heh-heh-heh.

Your mom's having a good time tonight.

Everything's a lot better when you're around.

For me too.

Well, I mean it.

I mean, Mom's so much happier when you come over.

Well, I guess we have a lot in common.

We all kind of need each other right now.

I hope you and Mom will be good friends forever.

Sure, we will.

Yeah, but I mean...

What happens if you and Donna get back together?

Well, honey, there's really not much chance of that happening.

Besides, one thing doesn't have anything to do with the other.

CHARLIE: Hey, Ray, look, there's Mamie.

You mind if I go say hi? She's in my class.

- Well, I guess so. It's all right. - Okay.

[PINBALL MACHINE DINGING]

CHARLIE: Mamie. Hi. - Hi. How are you?

Are you alone here?

I'm down there with my mom and Ray.

Who's Charlie talking to? Oh, that's Mamie.

It's all right, isn't it? She asked me.

She's a sweet girl.

It's good to see her hanging around with nice kids again.

I know. I was worried there for a while, Ray.

I guess it was just a phase she was going through.

- Mom, you know Mamie. - Hi, Mrs. Wade.

Of course. Hi, Mamie.

Um... Can I stay and bowl with them?


I finished all my homework already.

We're only gonna stay to . And my dad's gonna pick us up.

- Please, Mom? - All right, I guess so.

- Yeah. - Yeah, all right. Thanks, Mom.

- But not past . CHARLIE: I promise.

[BOTH CHUCKLE]

Wanna get some coffee?

I'm a little tired tonight, Ray. Do you mind just dropping me off?

Of course not. I could use a good night's sleep myself.

Come on.

[BOBBY GASPS]

Oh, come on, that's not fail, you guys.

Come on. Give me a break. You guys are k*lling me.

Come on. We gotta think of something else to do.

I gotta take a break.

They're outnumbering me, honey.

Oh, okay. Come on. You know what we're gonna do? Come here.

BOBBY: Yeah, I got a plan. - Ahem.

CHRISTOPHER: Okay.

Well, Monday, looks like Ray and I are gonna make our new business official.

I hope for your sake, you handle the business, he handles the horses.

Mm. Ray is not so bad at business.

If you don't mind losing money.

J.R., can't you ever say anything nice?

Oh, I think the horse business will be perfect for Ray.

I'm sure he'll be able to tell one end from the other.

- Oh, stop. - Heh.

We all know what end of the horse you are.

[LAUGHS]

BOBBY: Here we go. On your mark.

Get set. Go.

Come on.

PAMELA: Come on, Christopher. - Come on.

You're gaining on him, pal. Get him. Here we go.

Aha. Submarine tactic...

- Come on, honey. Oh. - Always successful. Ha.

[CHRISTOPHER PANTING]

That's not fair. John Ross cheated.

JOHN ROSS: Did not. - Yes, you did.

Hey. Come on. Hey, wait a minute. Ho, ho, ho, ho, ho.

Come here. Come here now. Come here. You just sit right up here.

- You stay there. John Ross, come here. - He cheated.

Come here. You get right up here.

Okay, you stay right there.

- He cheated. - I did not. You just can't swim.

Yes, you did, John Ross. I saw you.

Now, wait a minute.

Now, everybody, just calm down for a minute.

- Wait a minute, look at this. - He hit me.

Hey. Would you wait a minute?

Now come on. That's enough, that's enough.

Come on, get up there and you stay there, pal.

You get back up there.

Well, that's just like his daddy. Using brawn over brains.

J.R., that's enough.

He jumped him. I saw him jump him. Everybody saw him jump him.

PAMELA: He had every right to.

John Ross was cheating, I saw him.

If he doesn't stop, then they'll have to stop playing together. Come on, son.

Come on. Come in the house with me.

[CHUCKLES] How do you like that?

My son gets a bloody nose, she gets upset about it.

Come here, boy. Let me see it. Come here. Come on.

Come on, let me see.

Oh, that's not too bad.

Come on in the house, I'll wash that ”. Come on.

Hmm.

Shades of the past.

Just like when J.R. and Bobby were their age.

I certainly wouldn't mind getting away from this for a while.

[SIGHS]

[INAUDIBLE DIALOGUE]

[CLEARS THROAT]

Don't... Uh-uh. Before you sit down.

I'm not buying dinner.

Now, that's not very nice.

Well, I tried being nice to you. It didn't get me anywhere.

You didn't have much to offer.

You can't blame a girl for trying to make a living.

You're not gonna make a living off me.

Cliff, don't be so worried. We're in different leagues now.

What do you want, April?

I just saw you sitting here.

I thought I'd come over. I mean it wouldn't hurt for us to stay friends.

Wouldn't hurt for you to stay friends. What do you want?

Nothing. Really.

Unless you know where Jamie is.

Yeah. Wait, you see that. Didn't I say...?

You are always after something.

Well, she now owns my percent of Ewing Oil.

And I want it.

[LAUGHS]

You want that, huh?

Well, why don't you go ahead and try to get it?

Thank you for the invitation.

- Where does she live? - Los Angeles.

California.

[CHUCKLES]

Very nice, Cliff.

Los Angeles is a big city.

Could we be a little more specific?

I can't.

Wonderful.

- Cliff, you really are... - Wait.

You wanna see her.

Why don't you get a hold of Sue Ellen Ewing.

That's who she works for.

Well, maybe I will. Thanks for the hospitality.

And let's do stay in touch.

- Good morning. - Oh. Good morning, Bobby.

- Thank you. - Oh, wait a minute.

- What's the matter? - Nothing.

They just haven't finished cleaning your office yet.

At : in the morning?

Huh.

I'm sorry, I'm gonna have to throw you out. I've get work to do.

Yes, sir, Mr. Ewing.

CLIFF: Good morning! - Well, good morning.

- Aren't you in a good mood. - Got reason to be.

- Is my sister in? - She's been in for a couple of hours.

Buzz her.

Tell her I wanna see her in my office.

[HUMMING]

You wanted to see me?

Yeah, come on in.

What are you so happy about?

Remember that deal I told you about?

Oh, the magical deal that's going to get me back all my money.

That's right, it paid off.

[PANTS]

Really?

- Well, maybe I owe you an apology. - You sure do. Yeah, there it is.

Six million five hundred thousand dollars.

I told you I'd pay you today and I am right on time.

On time with half of what you owe me.

- Yeah. - Well?

- Well, what? - Where's the rest of it?

Give me a break. I thought you'd be impressed.

I'd be more impressed if you paid back all of it.

Hey, look.

I come up with and a half million dollars in a week...

and you're complaining?

I'm not complaining. But I am putting you on notice.

You better get your act together.

But this is a good start.

[DOOR OPENS, CLOSES]

DORA MAE: It's so good to see you. ELLIE: It's good to see you.

- How have you been? - Just fine, Mrs. Fallow.

ELLIE: Thank you.

You're both looking very well.

- Can I get you something from the bar? - Ellie?

Uh...

Well, I'll just have some soda, please.

I'll have the same thing, but put some Scotch in it.

Ha-ha. Yes, sir.

[SIGHS]

What's the matter?

I was gonna ask you the same thing.

I'm fine.

Really?

It hasn't been the same between us, has it?

Since the Wes Parmalee business.

Well.

It wasn't an easy thing to swallow, Ellie.

Well, maybe...

Maybe it'd be easier if we went away.

What do you mean?

Well, what about taking a little trip?

I've thought about it a lot.

Remember at the pool, when the boys were fighting.

I said I wanted to get away from it all.

Well, I'm afraid I couldn't get away right now.

Well, why not?

Just the two of us.

Maybe...

Maybe we could take a cruise to Europe.

Too many things to do here.

Well, what sort of things?

[SIGHS]

- The Scotch is for you, Mr. Fallow? - Thank you.

- Thanks, Cass. - You're welcome.

Oh, Clayton.

A cruise would be wonderful.

We could relax.

You could take care of whatever you have to do...

when you get back.

I don't think it'd be fair to Ray.

Well, why not?

We've been trying to get our business together now for months.

This morning, we signed the papers.

It just wouldn't be fair to him to leave now.

Speak of the devil. Ray.

- Hello. Miss Ellie. - Ray.

Clayton, you ready?

We were late getting away from the ranch.

Sit down and join us for lunch.

Ready for what?

Didn't you tell her?

I got a line on some real prime stock.

I thought we'd all go there and see them together.

Oh.

- Unless you changed your mind? - No. No, no.

If you have other things to do, I can go alone.

CLAYTON: No.

No. I'd like to see them.

Well, great.

SUE ELLEN: Okay, to the right.

To the right, please.

To the left.

To the right.

To the left, please.

To the right.

To the right.

To the left, please.

To the left.

And to the right.

Let's move quickly, girls. Come on now.

To the right.

To the left.

To the right and to the right. Thank you.

Okay, we have made our preliminary selections.

I'd like the group right here to please follow Eleanor.

She has some outfits she'd like you to try on.

And as far as the other girls, I thank you for coming down.

- But... - That's it?

I drive miles just to get cut off before the finals.

We're very sorry.

Believe me, this is very hard.

You are all incredibly attractive...

but we are looking for a special girl.

Come on, Macy. Let's get out of here.

Don't bother. It's not worth it.

I've seen those two before. Their mouths are bigger than their egos.

[SIGHS]

Getting rejected is so hard.

I remember when I used to model.

Heh. Come on, what are you gonna do? It comes with the territory.

It's so hard for them.

And you know something?

We don't have a Valentine Girl in that batch either.

Really? Uh... Ha.

I think there are some winners in there.

I know, but none of them matches Mandy Winger.

[SIGHS]

Not one of them even comes close.

J.R.: Hi, son.

Hi.

So, what's the matter?

Nothing.

Nothing, huh?

[SIGHS]

You look like you lost your best friend.

I just feel bad.

You're not sick, are you?

No.

It's because of Christopher.

I did kind of get a head start on him.

Well, that's no reason to feel bad.

You won, didn't you?

- Yeah, but... - No buts.

Winning is what counts.

He said I cheated.

Oh, you did no such thing.

You just got a little head start, that's all.

You had the competitive edge.

That never hurt anybody except the losers, of course.

- I don't know. - Well, I do.

You didn't cheat.

You were just... a little anxious to win.

You wanna know something?

What?

Your winning made your daddy real proud of you.

[J.R. LAUGHS]

Now, listen to me.

Ahem. You got a choice of two sides in this life:

Winning and losing.

And don't you ever let me catch you on the losing side, you hear?
