Post by bunniefuu »

Honey. what's going on?

Oh. just another pleasant evening at Southfork.

Maybe Donna will end up with my child.

But I'll guarantee you she's gonna know she's been in one hell of a damn light.

Stop yelling at me. I'm as upset as you are.

I'll meet your brothel with a shotgun before I'll let him muscle in.

Sometimes I think I should sell the ranch and let everybody go on their way.

Jock Ewing treated him like dirt just like his son J.R. treats me like dirt.

And now it's my tum.

CLIFF: MI. Cessna? Hi. This is Cliff Barnes calling.

You were handling Jamie Ewing's affairs therein Los Angeles.

And between your people there and he! people here...

there's a bit of confusion that I was thinking perhaps you could clear up.

Yes. Oh. yes. I mean. It was just a shock.

We were all just devastated by it.

It was“ Oh. it's a tragic thing.

We found a will among he! things.

At least, it was a draft of a will.

And it said that it should be signed and returned back to you.

So my question is, is this just a copy of a will...

and then you're holding a signed copy, yes?

It was never signed. I see.

So then it was never filed. huh?

So then let me ask you this. then.

Is this just a new will that supersedes an existing old will...

and that maybe this just has some minor changes and so on?

Thai. uh. you're holding the other?

I see. You're not holding any will.

So there is no will?

I mean. Jamie d*ed without a will?

There is no will?

I see. Oh. yes. I know. I am repeating myself.

Well. no. I wanna thank you... Thank you ! the conversation here.

And I'll be in touch.

What is it?

You asked me when you could get an appointment at the Hall of Records.

I did. I did? Okay. so?

Tomorrow at . Ask ! MI. Valdez.

Okay, thank you. —Cliff, what is it with you today?

Well. I'm just smelling blood.

Ewing blood.

[PHONE BUZZES]

Yeah. Phyllis?

PHYLLIS [OVER SPEAKER]: Bobby, Mr. Carter is here.

Okay. show him in.

-Mr. Carter -John.

Thank you. Phyllis.

So how are you doing?

I guess I'll let you tell me Thai. MI. Ewing.

Yeah. Come on in. sit down.

Can I get you something?

No. sir. Thank you.

John. it just hasn't worked out.

Well...

it's not like I wasn't expecting this. I guess.

Come on.

You help me out.

You tell me how I can keep those wells opened up down therein Pride.

I know the production figures wouldn't help much.

John.

(Si): months ago, you came into this office...

when I was ready to shut down every one of those wells. and you asked me...

Bagged you.

You asked me if I would take another look.

Those oil fields have been the lifeblood of that town.

And I have sunk a fortune into steam injecting those wells.

And your boys have cut back every ounce of fat there was.

And we're still swimming in red ink. John. I don't have any other choice.

If you have any magic answers...

“. God's sakes. Let me know what they are.

Prices are coming up.

But not fast enough.

For crying out loud. John.

Who knows if OPEC can even hold to that agreement?

That whole damn part of the world's always at w*r.

There's too many question marks.

Well. like I said. it's not like I haven't been expecting this.

I don't have another manager's job open.

Goes without saying, if you'd take another work slot...

I thank you. MI. Ewing.

But I'll be all light. It's. uh...

I can put in ! retirement.

I do wonder about these younger people. though. It's...

These are some times.

Best of luck to you.

CARTER: Luck to us all.

We're sh**ting a home video ! the lingerie.

Kind of like a mail-order catalog.

-My idea. Brilliant? PAM: Sue Ellen.

Well. Pam. there's a lot of profit in these little nothings.

And it is great business.

Well. in case you've forgotten. I already have a business.

I haven't forgotten. That's just the point.

Follow the light.

I want you to pick them up. Just come back in a slow pan light along here.

Mrs. Ewing? Mrs. Ewing.

Jim... Where have you been? I've been waiting ! you.

I didn't wanna start before you got here. We are making beautiful magic for you.

Just" Both of you just relax and have some coffee.

And I have a few things to do...

and I'll come light over there. And I'll meet your friend.

Everything okay? You have that?

Okay. just a little. easy pan.

I\Mr.. Valentine, I'd like you to meet... —Sure. Miss October.

I loved your foldout with the camel.

[CHUCKLES]

Ah. heh. I don't think so.

Mr. Valentine, this is my sister-in-law, Pamela Ewing.

Oh. Ahem.

Nice to meet you.

[SPEAKING IN SPANISH]

Well. actually. it's her casa.

All right, let's go, everybody. Let's do one before these girls get wrinkles.

Would you get these ladies a couple of chairs?

All light. everybody. come on.

Come on.

All right, ladies. Now, I want you to sparkle here.

Thank you.

Look. Pam...

you. Bobby. J.R. and your brothel are all in the same business.

There are too many bad feelings between all of you.

Well. that's been going on forever.

SUE ELLEN: Hey. Pam. we can have a ball.

And if the boys give us any trouble...

we can start our own line of men's underwear.

You can cast the models.

[CHUCKLES]

No.

No. but thank you. Sue Ellen.

Bobby and I are going to be fine.

And Cliff, well, I kind of have to be down there...

just to stop him from hanging himself.

I know you think he's a jerk.

And maybe he is, but he needs me.

And I love him.

Okay, everybody. Now, quiet, everybody. Quiet.

All right, let's do one. I want this very Hollywood, now.

Roll music. Roll tape.

[SIGHS]

[PURRING AND MOANING]

Come to me. darling. Come on. Come. come. Good.

All light. now a real slow tum.

Heal slow. Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful.

SUE ELLEN [WHISPERING]: There she is.

The new Valentine Gill.

- Well. she's beautiful. - Yeah.

She's gonna make me millions of dollars.

VALENTINE: Now find it in yourself.

Come in with me. Pam. I just have this feeling.

VALENTINE: Be the little sex kitty...

Sue Ellen, thanks, but don't worry about me and Bobby. We're fine.

VALENTINE: You know where it is. Now find it in yourself.

Find it in yourself. Share it with us. That's right. Don't be afraid. Let it out.

Be the little sex kitten you know you can be.

You know you wanna be it. Now just...

All light. now just hold that. Just hold that.

J.R.: You sure you can't remember where Jack used to like to go?

I mean. some place really special.

Nope.

It didn't really matter much where he went...

as long as he was dry and out of the cold.

Jack was a wanderer.

Nobody was more surprised than me that he wound up with money.

Well. you just keep thinking. I'll light a lire under that detective agency.

- When is that meeting? - End of the week.

It's all happening so fast now.

All we have to do is find him. And the game is over.

I wonder what'll happen then.

We just won't know what to do with ourselves around here.

Hm.

You'll probably be out there spending your money.

Jack too, if he's smart.

You know. he hasn't got any ties here. I'll bet you he'd sell me his percent.

I suppose so.

I'll bet Jamie dying like that will sure knock the wind right out of his sails.

Yeah. pool little Jamie.

She gave he! all lo! Ewing Oil.

- What's the lush? - I gotta get going.

What, I'm not good company?

April, you're some of the best company...

it's ever been my good fortune to experience.

But I'm back with my wife now, honey.

That's not what I meant.

Then what?

I'll see you. honey.

[CLASSICAL MUSIC PLAYS OVER RADIO]

CLAYTON: Now. Watch this. watch this.

This little horse can do everything but tum inside out.

Ha. ha. We gotta buy him. Hay.

With a champion like Chile Dancer in our stables, we're on the map.

Otherwise we'll sit around to! Years trying to develop something.

Well. that's a thought.

Boy. you're great company today.

Oh. I'm sorry. Clayton.

I got my divorce healing coming up. I can't seem to think of anything else.

Well. that's all over but the shouting.

There's the custody of In? child.

Well. I thought you'd gotten that passed by now.

It's not the kind of thing that you can leave in the past.

No... but you're letting it eat you alive.

It's coloring everything in your life.

If you want my opinion. You're letting it ruin your life.

We disagree.

What makes you sure that baby would be better with you than with Donna?

What are you gonna do. hire a nurse?

There are lots of men that have raised their own children.

The first time that baby cries at night...

Donna would know what to do. Would you?

I don't wanna talk about this.

Well, as your friend, I think it's about time we did.

When I was obsessed with Wes Palmalee and just letting my lite go to hell...

you told me to cut my losses short. And you were light.

Now I'm telling you the same thing.

Give it up. —This is different.

You know what's gonna happen. The court's gonna turn the child...

over to the mother. and you know that's the way it should be.

This world's not gonna just turn itself upside down because you want a family.

Maybe you're light.

Maybe Donna will end up with my child. But I'll guarantee you one thing...

she's gonna know she's been in one hell of a damn fight.

[LAUGHING AND CHATTERING]

CLIFF: Oh. hold up there, Ewing.

J.R.: Oh, God. What do you want, Barnes?

Well. do I have to want something? Maybe I have something. we're so close.

- I feel closer to a dead skunk than you. - My. you're looking lovely this evening.

- Are you drunk or what? - “What.“

[CLIFF CHUCKLING]

You know, you really ought to try to be friendlier, J.R.

You never know when you might need a friend.

- Not you. - Well. you don't know. We are related.

We're not even the same species. Barnes.

Well. now. that's good.

That's very good. I wanna remember that.

But. you know. there is so much to remember between us.

So much history over the years. I just wanna remember it all.

Heh. heh. heh. You have a nice dinner.

Cassie, would you give the Ewings a bottle of anything they want...

and put it on my tab? CASSIE: Sure.

- Mr. Barnes is a very happy soul tonight. - Yeah.

Cassie. I'll have champagne. Put it on my tab.

I'll be light back with it.

Cliff offering to pick up a check?

Well, he has been at the bar too long.

Hm.

Something's wrong.

Tax services, "get your dog spayed." karate lessons...

and a book on home taxidermy.

I don't know. I love junk mail.

Where else can you get your carpet shampooed...

and a flee trip to Maui in the same envelope?

- I missed that. That sounds good. - Morning. everybody.

- Morning. - Good morning.

Sue Ellen and I went to the Oil Baron's last night.

And who did we run into but that termite brother of yours.

I assume you're speaking to me?

Uh. anybody else got a termite ! a brothel here?

Just Bobby.

Can't we have just one morning around here without a lot of fuss?

Well, is somebody fussing? Am I making a fuss?

- Yes. - Oh. no. darling.

I'm just asking a simple question. That's all.

I just wanted to know why Cliff was so wired last night.

I mean. he was bumping into walls...

and smiling like he knew something the rest of us didn't.

I figured since we have someone in our midst...

who is privy to the way that little worm thinks...

I resent your speaking to me that way...

about my brothel when he's not here to defend himself.

And why should I know what he's doing all the time?

Well. Pam. you may sleep all night with your head on a pillow next to Bobby's...

but you work all day cheek to cheek with that brother of yours.

- J.R. - I'm not my brother's keeper.

Huh. God knows he needs one.

I'm tired of walking a tightrope in this house.

If you have something to say to my brothel, say it to him. not to me.

All right, fine. Enough said. But I'll tell you one thing.

When a character like that starts to act out of character, something's going on.

But I'm sure we'll find out soon enough.

I'm off to the office, darling.

-Talk to you later. SUE ELLEN: Bye-bye.

Thank you. —You're welcome.

Your waiter will be with you in a moment.

ELLIE: Thanks.

There's supposed to be a seafood salad here...

that is absolutely out of this world.

'Well, why don't we get it out of the way so it won't be left hanging over lunch?

What's that?

The divorce healing. Miss Ellie.

Day after tomorrow.

It's the last chance ! us to talk about it.

Yes. I guess so.

Heel like. um...

all the stuffing's been pulled out of me.

Like I'm...

I'm just moving in slow motion.

There's...

There's nothing left to say about it.

I don't have anything left to ask you about it.

Earlier today. I thought about it...

and it's all been said.

Except. no matter what...

I'll always think of you as family, Donna.

I just wanted to tell you that.

You know. when Ray came to see me in the hospital in Washington...

someone else came to see me also.

Thank you.

A friend.

Oh.

By “a friend." you mean another man?

It's really easy to misinterpret things. Miss Ellie.

I remember how I felt when I called Ray's house...

and Jenna was there.

And there's just no way it can all be mended?

You're sure it's just too late?

It was too late the day we got married.

I haven't even looked.

Good evening. madam.

Good evening. I'd like a table ! dinner. please.

Of course, madam.

Um. how many in your party?

Just myself. Just me.

Oh. I see.

Well. I am afraid all the tables are reserved.

- The wait will be quite long. - How long?

At least one hour. I am sorry.

That's all light. From what I understand. The scampi': well worth the wait.

I'll just have a seat at the bar.

Madam. I am sorry. but. you see. It is a policy of this establishment...

that we will not seat a woman alone.

You understand.

No, I do not understand.

How dale you?

Please. Please. madam. There is nothing I can do.

PAUL: So the picture we paint is of this very pregnant woman. still married...

in the constant company of this attractive bachelor...

at all the Washington jet-set parties.

- This is just an oil-lobby tea. - It's still a party. isn't it?

She's with another man. isn't she?

Unmindful of the baby growing inside her.

Hey.

You're the one that wanted to get down and dirty.

This is gonna get very dirty before it's through.

You want out, tell me now.

No. go on.

You asked ! this. Hay.

If you wanna call it off, nothing could make me happier.

I said. go on.

All light.

Back to that picture...

which is of your wife running amuck while you're living like a saint.

That's how you have been living. Isn't it?

- Yeah. God knows. - Well. just so everybody else knows.

There's no chance...

that the subject of you and Jenna could pop up, is there?

The witness seems evasive. Your Honor.

Yeah. I started seeing Jenna again.

- Oh. well. that's just great. - We're not doing anything wrong.

Just like Donna isn't doing anything wrong.

Hay, she is gonna look like the whore of Babylon before I'm through.

Am I gonna stare at a bunch of pictures like this when I hit that courtroom?

- This is ridiculous. Donna would never... - Oh. I see.

Donna would never have you followed.

She wouldn't do such an underhanded thing.

Just like you wouldn't have her followed either, right?

'Welcome to the wonderful world of divorce.

[DOORBELL RINGS]

April, what are you doing here? —Hello, stranger.

Wait a minute. Now. hold it. What are you doing here?

- I'm buying you dinner. - What?

Kung Pao chicken, a little won ton soup, mushu pork, noodles, ribs.

- Wait. wait. Hold it. - Egg rolls.

Hold it. hold it. hold it. What is all this?

Chinese food, sweet face.

Chinese food. I know what Chinese food is.

Se {labia Chinese food. But how did you find out?

Find out what? Would you go get some plates, Cliff?

No. wait a minute. No. no. no. What are you working here. huh?

- I mean. what do you know? - Would you not be so suspicious?

I don't suppose this has anything to do with the fact that Jamie just d*ed. huh?

That you have absolutely no interest in he! will or anything like that?

I just wanted some company tonight.

I only know three men in Dallas.

And J.R. and Wendell are made of stone.

You are at least a sensitive man in your own sort of way.

You know what? In all of the time that I have been here...

I don't think I've had a normal conversation.

No one's even asked me where I'm from. Do I have any brothels or sisters?

We can strap the gloves back on tomorrow.

But let's just relax tonight. okay?

It's not working. sweetie.

-Cliff... —I'\lo.

You can fool some people some of the time.

But you can't fool Cliff Barnes anymore. So whatever it is you're peddling...

you're just gonna have to go somewhere else to peddle it.

Damn it, all of you are like ice in this town.

Well. that's just fine.

You wanna play hardball. I'm about as good as there is at it.

Oh. we've all seen that.

- Good night. - You ain't seen nothing yet.

[CHUCKLING]

Oh. no. sweetie.

You ain't seen nothing yet.

MI. Barnes. can I help you?

Mr. Barnes. st-You can't go in there. Mr. Barnes. stop.

J.R.: You're not him. Barnes. What are you doing here?

BOBBY: You can't come barging into this office.

I couldn't stop him.

J.R.: Well. I'll just make arrangements to have the place fumigated when he leaves.

Ha. ha. ha. I don't know how you got wind of it. but apparently you did...

"because you sent that gold digger over to my condo.

It didn't work then. It's not gonna work now.

Game's over. Checkmate. You lose. I win. Bingo.

- What the hell are you talking about? - I couldn't figure out how to tell you.

I was gonna hire a skywriting plane.

I thought about taking an ad in the newspaper.

You are starting to irritate me.

You're gonna have to get used to that because it's all coming together.

Jamie d*ed without a will.

So? Everything she had slides to he! brothel.

He was her only family.

Why is that making you goofier than usual?

Because you're wrong.

He! brothel was not he! nearest relative. He! husband is. Remember he! husband?

- You were divorced. - No. wrong again.

See. just as Jamie didn't file her will. She didn't file he! divorce papers...

which means the deal departed Jamie Ewing d*ed while still my wife.

You two split. You had an agreement.

You were pushing ! That divorce. And you got it.

You get the office ready, get the books ready. you get everything ready...

because it's about a gnat's eyelash away from being official...

percent of everything you call Ewing Oil now belongs to yours truly.

[LAUGHING]

Barnes just stood there and told us to get our books ready...

because he was coming on board. Can you believe that?

- I suppose this is news to you. - What is that supposed to mean?

I ask you what was on his mind...

and you sat there just as innocent as can be.

- Don't tell me you didn't know. - I didn't. I don't know anything about it.

J.R., it is not her fault. - Uh-huh.

I told everybody here that no good was gonna come from outsiders.

Somebody drifts in from Alaska...

we sit him down. Give him a piece of Ewing Oil.

We pick people off the streets and make family members out of them.

You're out of line. J.R.: The hell I am.

And I'll tell you one thing.

I'll meet your brothel in an alley with a shotgun before I'll let him muscle in.

Stop yelling at me. I'm as upset as you are.

It's a crime that Cliff's trying to take Jamie's estate...

claiming he was never divorced.


He never loved that gill. He treated he! like dirt...

and he doesn't deserve anything that belonged to her.

Is that your concern. ! God's sake? The memory of a dead gill?

Ellie?

Honey. what's going on?

Oh. just another pleasant evening at Southfork.

Now, you're getting yourself all worked up and that's unlike you.

No. I'm just...

I'm just... I'm just fed up.

I'm fed UP!

There's been no peace in this family for as long as I can remember now.

Look at my children.

J.R. has this family involved with t*rrorists. t*rrorists.

And kidnapping and k*lling.

And even Bobby's caught up in this unending battle with Cliff Barnes.

Well, in defense of them...

this is a pretty significant thing with Cliff Barnes.

Yes, but if it wasn't that, it would be something else.

Jenna having Bobby's baby.

You don't think that's gonna strain Bobby's and Pam's marriage...

when that baby's born?

And Ray and Donna.

Their divorce is getting uglier and uglier.

Well. that's why they need you.

You're the lock that holds this all together.

I don't wanna be a lock.

Oh. Clayton. I'm sorry.

I just can't bear any more. Sometimes I think...

I should just sell the ranch. period. And let everybody go on their way.

Oh. come on. you don't mean that.

Why not?

I just can't conceive of you selling Southfork, that's all.

Not too long ago...

it was unthinkable ! you to sell the Southern Cross, but you did.

All light. let's grant that you now do have Jamie's estate...

and that her percent of Ewing Oil now belongs to you.

I do. It does. It only takes a judge to make it official.

- Well. do you know what this means? - Do I know? Lord love a duck.

I mean. I'm not one to dance on Jamie's grave...

but my every dream come true.

PAM: It's a nightmare. CLIFF: Well. I hope I never wake up.

It's going to mean all-out w*r with the Ewings.

- I win. - I lose.

Damn it. Don't you understand anything?

- I want to buy that percent. - What? Why?

I'm gonna take those Ewing Oil shares out of circulation.

I'll put them in Christopher's name in a trust.

He won't be able to touch them until he's an adult.

No way on earth.

You need the money to run this company.

Cliff, I am talking about $ million.

You'd be in total control. You'd never have to hassle about money again.

With percent of Ewing Oil. I don't have any money hassles.

You don't deserve it and you are going to destroy us.

I am begging you to sell me those shares.

No.

You just don't seem to understand something.

This is a way to avenge our daddy.

They cheated old Digger Barnes. And they laughed.

Jock Ewing treated him like dirt just like his son J.R. treats me like dirt.

And now it's my tum.

There is no price that you can put on that.

JUDGE: You two have filed before this court a petition of divorce...

on the grounds of irreconcilable differences.

Your attorneys attest that all terms have been agreed to as stated?

That being the will of both parties, it is the prerogative of this court only...

to inquire ii there is truly no hope of reconciliation.

MI. Ray Krebbs...

Mrs.. Donna Culver-Krebbs...

are your differences indeed irreconcilable?

MI. Krebbs. is there no way of saving this marriage?

No.

Mrs. Krebbs?

No.

I'm told by the attorneys that each agrees to leave the marriage...

without financial claim upon the other. Is that so. attorneys?

-Yes. Your Honor. PAUL: That's light.

I see. Well. then it there are no other considerations. I...

PAUL: Uh. Your Honor, Mrs. Krebbs is carrying Mr. Krebbs' child.

Yes. Well. the court can see that.

Mrs. Krebbs would like the court to record...

that, in the question of visitation rights...

Matters of visitation are usually taken up alter the child is born, Mrs. Gordon.

Yes. but my client is anxious to go on the record...

that all reasonable visitation lights will be granted.

So noted.

Your Honor. my client would also like to go on record.

JUDGE: Yes. MI. Morgan?

Your Honor, we feel it's incumbent upon us...

to point out certain realities to the court.

We feel, regarding this matter of visitation...

that certain lifestyles have to be considered.

We'd like to go into the record as to the stability of a loving home...

and an extended family...

which Mr. Krebbs is prepared to provide for his child.

We wish to emphasize the value and necessity of that stability.

We want to question...

any transient existence without roots...

Paul.

We have nothing further to add, Your Honor.

Yes. Well. then...

the state of Texas grants the petition to Hay and Donna Krebbs...

to dissolve their marriage and divorce from each other.

Thank you.

Donna.

I'm sorry. I don't have any good words ! you.

You did the light thing. Hay.

[COUNTRY MUSIC PLAYS OVER JUKEBOX]

How about you. cowboy? You wanna dance?

Another time.

Can't even get a dance. I must be losing it.

It's got nothing to do with you.

I've even got my own bee! already.

I'm afraid I wouldn't be very good company.

I haven't seen you around here before, have I?

I don't get around this way much anymore.

To tell you the truth. I don't know what the hell I'm doing here today.

I met my wife here.

My ex-wife.

Divorced?

Honey. isn't everybody?

Yeah. I guess.

Why don't you come back when you're having a better day?

Set it up again.

Bourbon.

JACKIE: Hi, Mr. Ewing. —Jackie, is Cliff in?

-He's... CLIFF: Oh.

Well. look what the cat drug in.

BOBBY: Barnes, I wanna talk to you. —Hey, hey, hey. Whoa, whoa, whoa.

You got some nerve...

barging in here like this. Hanging around with your brothel too long.

I just had lunch with In? wife. —So?

- She's upset. - Is that light?

That's light. You know the reason why.

This business about you owning a piece of Ewing Oil.

Oh. oh. You see. now. that's why you're upset. It's got nothing to do with Pam.

I'm here to tell you you had better think twice...

- about all the trouble you're causing. - Gotcha. Bobby.

I got percent of Ewing Oil and there isn't a damn thing you can do about it.

You little cockroach.

If you wanna fight your way into my company...

you go light ahead and take your best sh*t. That's business.

If I see any more tears in Pam's eyes, if this little enterprise of yours...

gets in the way of our relationship... —That's between the two of you.

In my opinion. there never should've been the two of you.

Barnes. I lost he! once...

and I'm not gonna lose he! again.

So if it comes to it...

and you get in the way...

I'm gonna squish you like the bug you are.

BURGESS: I tell you, we're hitting this thing hard and with all cylinders working.

A week ago. you didn't imply that there was this kind of urgency.

Well. that was a week ago. I want Jack found light now.

BURGESS: We're following every lead.

You gave us an address. But it's an old address.

A phone number. But an old phone number.

We're following him. But I'm not sure...

APRIL: If I heal one more “but“ in this loom...

I've got all my people working on it. I'm not sure what else there is I can do.

Well. I'll tell you what you can do.

You can place ads in every major newspaper in this country.

You can contact detective agencies in every major city and hire them.

I want you to start coordinating things.

When I say “coordinating." I mean an army.

Do you understand the kind of cost we're about to incur?

I have an account at Mechanics Bank.

They've been told to give you anything you need. up to a million dollars.

APRIL: You find Jack Ewing.

Make sure there is no place that he can hide.

The state is satisfied that all the assets ale accounted for...

and devaluated for tax purposes?

Yes, Your Honor. The list before you...

would seem to be the complete estate of Jamie Ewing Barnes.

I have your petition. MI. Lancaster...

and the wedding certificate at MI. and Mrs. Barnes.

The deceased having d*ed intestate...

her husband is entitled to be the sole beneficiary of the estate...

and all property held by he! Accrues to him.

Yes. Your Honor. And we have certified the list as complete to our knowledge.

The main components being some $ million in cash...

and a stock certificate representing a —percent interest...

and ownership of the Ewing Oil company of Dallas.

Very well.

Thank you. Your Honor.

-You're welcome. What's it?

- That's it. - Okay.

CLIFF: Woo-hon!

JENNA: Ray.

What time is it?

It's late.

I came over earlier figuring maybe you might need the company...

now that things are final.

Shh.

Just go back to sleep.

ALFRED: These have to be cross-referenced with the —E forms.

I keep telling them. But they keep sending those new s.

Don't sweat it, Alfred.

Look, all this stuff is in the computers anyway.

If they could only understand up in Processing. I could show them.

Leo.

- What are you up to? - I'm about up to here.

This business makes you old too soon.

Present company excepted, of course. Well-said.

- Now you can have whatever you need. - Thank you.

Is this the. uh. material?

B.D. Calhoun and Ewing Oil. Deep-six it forever.

Let's see.

Tape recordings of phone calls between B.D. Calhoun and J.R. Ewing.

Photographic records of their meeting.

Descriptions of the abortive laid on the Saudi oil field.

- Wow. This is dynamite stuff. Leo. - What other kind would I bring you?

You could close the company down with this stuff.

Or put these people in jail.

LEO: But the agency wouldn't look so good either.

We used Ewing as bait. Ewing and his son.

I think that's a story that America would just as soon not heal.

'Well, why don't we just lose this stuff in the general vicinity of an incinerator?

Because ii Ewing ever gets adventurous again...

this is the hammer I'm gonna use against him.

I don't think I'll need it, but...

Consider it buried. Lost. Gone forever. History.

Alfred, would you open up, please?

That will be fine.

LEO: Thanks. Henrietta.

“Thanks“ is well and good. But I haven't heard anything...

about picking up the check at the commissary.

You got it.

Just find me a deep. dark comer to swallow this mess ! good.

Let it gather lots of dust.

I don't ever wanna think about it ever getting out.
