Post by bunniefuu »

BLAKE: Do you
realize what time it is?

You can't spend sleepless
nights worrying about these things.

Blake, she married Cecil
Colby on his deathbed.

I just wish the
public knew the truth.

Darling, I understand
why you confronted Alexis,

- and I love you for it.
- I won't let her destroy your campaign.

She's not going to.

But if I stoop to her tactics,

I don't deserve to win this
election any more than she does.

Please, listen to me.

I am going to b*at her and Jim
Rayford too, but on my terms.

Now, I happen to believe
in the good judgment

of the people who vote. I think
they'll make the proper choice.

And this week at the debate is
when and how we b*at Alexis.

[SIGHS]

Come on.

Come on.

No.

No.

No, Cecil.

Don't.

No, don't.

Don't die, Cecil.

Don't die. No!

Hey, wha...? What's the matter?

Oh, that's a bad...

A bad dream, it's
just a nightmare.

[SIGHS]

Come here.

Come on.

It's the campaign.

You're driving
yourself too hard.

Oh, no.

Sure that's all it is?

No second thoughts about us?

No. No, of course not.

I just had to be sure about us.

I've got to take a little
business trip in the morning.

Where?

Natumbe. The Vitron oil deal.

Oh.

Oh, Sean, that deal.

I meant to get more on it,
but I've just had so much to do.

- Is it a good deal?
- Shh.

I want you to concentrate
on that campaign.

I'd like to know what it's like
to be married to a governor.

Now, it's late.

Rest is your
number one priority.

Don't forget, you debate Jim
Rayford and Blake Carrington

at the end of the week.

And you'll be wonderful.

So let's get some sleep.

Blake.

He's the real nightmare.

[KNOCKING ON DOOR]

DEX: Fallon. Are you up?
- Ugh.

Uh-oh.

Paying the price.

What was in those drinks?

Oh, the stuff that hangovers
are made of and headlines.

Headlines?

Oh, yes.

Somebody had a field day with
your dance of the seven veils.

Looks so wild.

All I remember is
that wonderful music.

And then I felt woozy

and you carried me out.

Tell me about it.

[SIGHS]

Want some breakfast?

Oof.

No, thank you.

[CHUCKLES]

I just wanna get dressed,
get on a plane, go home,

and get back to business.

This is not gonna
help with Steven,

and that Vitron oil deal
is too good to jeopardize.

Too good.

Maybe.

Come on, Dex.

You saw for yourself.

Vitron isn't hiding anything.

The oil is there, the books
are open, everything tracks.

Maybe.

You're beginning
to sound like Steven.

What's bothering you?

I don't know. I can't
put my finger on it.

But I'm gonna stay in
Natumbe another day or two,

poke around a little more.

Suit yourself.

I'm getting the
first plane back,

try and get my brothers
moving on this deal.

[GROANS]

[CHUCKLING]

I didn't know the
room was in use.

Plenty to go around.

I got a call from Fallon.

She's due back
from Natumbe tonight.

She was running
to catch a plane,

but from the tone, she
liked what she saw at Vitron.

How would she even
know what she saw?

You know, Steven,
it's interesting.

All these years of your
playing protective of her.

Now it doesn't serve your
purpose, you turn on her.

I'm protective of
Denver-Carrington.

Adam, you know my
position on the Vitron oil deal.

- I think it's too big, too fast.
- You can think what you like.

Fallon has finally made a mature
decision, and it was the right one.

Pfft.

Why? Because
she agrees with you.

It's k*lling you, isn't it?

When Father gave you his chair,
you were all set to go on a power trip.

You figured you had
Fallon in your hip pocket.

You'd call all the sh*ts.

How does it feel to
be cut down to size?

Let me ask you something, Adam.

Are you backing this deal
because you've checked it out?

I mean, really checked it out?

Or are you for it
because I'm against it?

[LAUGHS]

How much do you wanna
prove yourself to Dad?

How much do you need to use this
company to assert your manhood?

[BOTH GRUNTING]

Stop it!

Damn it, you two. I said...

I said, stop it!

Now, what the hell
is going on here?

Steven?

A slight business disagreement.

You may think that's
funny, but I don't.

I'm beginning to
think I made a mistake.

Maybe I should have brought
an outside management firm in

to run the company.
Is that what you want?

Force me to turn it
over to strangers?

Turn the family
tradition over to outsiders

because two brothers
couldn't get along?

I thought I turned Denver-Carrington
over to mature adults.

Don't worry, Dad, it
won't happen again.

All right.

But just don't force me
to reconsider my decision.

[DOOR OPENS]

The meter's running.

Why the outfit?

Well, this is what all the
well-dressed executives

are wearing in West Africa,
I'm told. So when is our plane?

Our plane? Wait a minute.
I'm taking this trip alone.

Oh, terrific.

Then we'll have time
to spend together alone.

Yeah, you're listening, but
you don't seem to hear me.

Hmm. I think this calls
for an emergency meeting.

Tell me, isn't there anything I
can do to change your mind?

Anything?

I never let anything
interfere with business.

Oh, but you know what they say.

- "All work and no play."
- Mm.

And aren't you worried
about what Alexis might think?

I never let anything
interfere with business.

Oh, you've got
guts, woman. Guts.

Don't you love it?

You're pretty handy
with that cue stick.

Oh, I can hold my own.

I must say, when I got
your message, I was...

Well, surprised would
be an understatement.

We all make mistakes, Gerald.

When Cecil d*ed,
I allowed my grief

to color my judgment
about many things,

particularly his
very capable lawyer.

And now?

My son, Adam, has so
many new responsibilities

that I'm gonna need additional
legal counsel at Colbyco.

And you're willing to forget
all the slanderous remarks

you made about me
and my firm, is that it?

Heh. I said I made a mistake,
Gerald, but I'm not willing to crawl.

So do you want me
as a client or not?

Forgive the cliché, Alexis,
but this is so sudden.

Heh. Yes, I know it's sudden,
but you have such a fine legal mind,

and I'm willing
to forget the past.

You know, Alexis, I
suddenly have the feeling

that we're here because you're
afraid your past is catching up to you.

Heh, what are you talking about?

Krystle Carrington.

What does that woman have to do
with me offering you the Colbyco account?

Maybe everything.

If she uncovered the connection
between you and Cecil's death.

[SCOFFS]

Well, that's impossible
because there is no connection.

No, I still think you're scared.

There are very few things on
this earth that scare me, Gerald.

I think you're afraid that my
cooperation with Krystle Carrington

might prove that Cecil's death was
more than just from natural causes.

How dare you say that. That's not
true and nobody could ever prove it.

You're a smart woman, Alexis.

You know what the media
can do with these things.

All they need is a hint.

Even a hint of any wrongdoing
on your part right now

would go a long way toward
toppling your business empire

to say nothing of
your political ambitions.

I think you better
leave, Gerald.

And let me tell you something.

If you ever make any of
these accusations public,

the only thing that
will topple will be you.

And I'm not bluffing.

Thanks for the drink.

Sorry we can't do business.

You said on the
phone it was important.

Yes. Uh...

I had a meeting
with Alexis last night.

At her request.

You know something?

[CHUCKLES]

She's...

- She's nervous.
- Nervous?

Well, she offered me
co-counsel at Colbyco

in an effort to blunt my cooperating
with you, Mrs. Carrington.

That's typical of her.

I don't like her tactics. In fact, I
don't like anything about the woman.

Cecil Colby was my
friend, as well as my client.

The other day, when we met,

I felt ethically bound

to protect the contents
of Cecil's original will.

Original?

Yes. Cecil changed his will
after he decided to marry Alexis.

I think, now, you
should see a copy of it.

It makes for
interesting reading.

[GASPS]

Mr. Wilson, I can't tell you
how much I appreciate this.

You know, Alexis
Colby has no business

being this close to the
governorship of this state.

She must be stopped.

And I think now we can do it.

FALLON: Not hours ago,

Harry Thresher walked Dex and me
through the entire Natumbe operation.

We tested the oil quality,
exactly as stipulated,

and I went through the books,

pored over reams
of computer readouts.

It's four-star all the way.

You yourself know that Dex
had reservations about Thresher.

I mean, the man was a crook
when they worked together.

A coward, not a crook.

And if that's your only reservation,
we can keep tabs on him.

I still don't like it.

Steven, I'm almost as
cautious in business as you are.

But don't put obstacles
in the way of this deal

just because you're
sitting in that chair.

All right, just to make it official,
you both want this deal, right?

- Yes.
- Absolutely.

Well, I'm not going
to make it unanimous,

but it's two against
one, so it's a go.

You won't be sorry.

Let's hope we're all not sorry.
I'll have the papers drawn up.

Why don't you call
Thresher, put it into motion?

Welcome to corporate
America, Fallon.

To our kickoff deal, may
it be the first of many.

I'm late for a meeting at
Colbyco. You'll see I'm copied

on Vitron correspondence,
won't you, Steven?

- Yeah.
- Good.

Welcome to Natumbe.

You never to cease to amaze me.

You've got
Denver-Carrington and Colbyco

right where you want
them without a hitch.

Careful planning, Harry.

You've done your part
and I won't forget you for it.

Eh, wasn't all that tough.

After all, at least part
of this deal is legit.

I mean, they will
get some oil. Heh.

Even my old friend, Dexter,
couldn't find a chink in the armor.

And that Fallon Carrington. Ooh.

Harry. Harry.

Keep your mind on the business.

Oh, look who's talking.

- You married her mother.
- It's part of the plan.

All part of the plan. Speaking
of which, let's get down to work.

Yeah. I got it right here.

Now, after our first good-faith
oil shipment to Colbyco is loaded,

we'll make a routine
stop at Port Baddi.

- Here.
- Mm-hm.

Once we establish
the Port Baddi stop,

there will be no suspicion
on subsequent stops.

On our second go,

we'll load our special
cargo under cover of night

and be ready to
unload at Port Baddi

- the next night.
- Mm.

- Can all of your men be trusted?
- You'll be pleased to know

that most of the boys are back again
from our last venture. They're the best.

Can I ask you something?

We've partnered on
deals together before.

Usually it's in and out, real
quick. Take the money and run.

What's your problem, Harry?

You'll get enough out of
this to buy your own island.

Well, it's not me I'm
worried about. It's you.

I get the impression

you're trying to make more
than money out of this deal.

- I mean, your motives are...
- That's none of your damn business.

- Hey, now, wait a minute.
- Now I just told you.

That's none of your business.

Okay, take it easy.

You're still calling the sh*ts.

It's just that, well, this
operation isn't as clean

as some of the
others we've pulled off.

This operation is
exactly how I want it to be.

When this scandal breaks,
the Carringtons and the Colbys,

they'll all go under.

All of them.

You said nobody was
gonna find that out.

You're willing to risk
all that money just to...

The only one risking
anything right now, Harry,

is you.

Look at you. Look.

You crawled out
from under a rock.

What would you know how it is to
have your father commit su1c1de?

Force him to
blow his brains out.

Ruin your sister.

Run her out of the country.

I'm gonna make them pay.
Yeah? They have to pay.

All right, back off.
I'm on your side.

Give me a break.

Heh. It's not even loaded.

I'll call you from Port Baddi.

You're getting a
little jumpy, Harry.

A little jumpy.

I don't understand.
Why can't I go with you?

Because I said so.

I've been cooped up in
this room since we got here.

You've had one meeting after
another, I don't know what you're doing.

- We haven't spent any time together.
- Stop whining.

I told you, nothing
interferes with business.

Amuse yourself. I'll
be back tomorrow.

[GRUMBLES]

All right, I've read them.

- And?
- And what?

My God, Blake, look at
the dates on those wills.

The last one gives Alexis
total control of Colbyco.

And it was signed during
Cecil's hospitalization

- for his heart att*ck.
- Yes, and the first one names Jeff

as the sole heir.

I've read them both. I
still don't see the point.

The point is, she obviously
pressured him to change his will

just before she forced
him to marry her.

Just before he d*ed.

And you wanna go
public with this, huh?

- Yes.
- And say what?

To prove what?

That Cecil Colby was so
much in love with Alexis

that he decided to
marry her on the spot,

leave his entire estate to her?

Because that's
all that it proves.

- She forced him to change his will.
- You don't know that.

Now, if you give
this out to the press,

Alexis will hit us with a libel suit
before the newspapers are on the street.

Now, darling, I appreciate
what you're trying to do,

but, please, stop right now.

My God.

- What?
- We're putting up $ million?

As is Denver-Carrington.

I can think of Texas
companies who'll kick themselves

for not getting
involved with this.

Wait a minute, Mother, hasn't
Sean filled you in on this?

Well, yes, he has,

but I've been so busy
with the campaign.

Why are we allowing
Denver-Carrington in on this deal?

It's the other way around, as a matter
of fact. It was offered to them first.

But Denver-Carrington
doesn't have enough tankers.

Combined, we can
handle the whole deal.

Mother, at today's prices,

we're going to see a
percent return on our investment.

[SIGHS]

I wish I had known
about this before.

[CHUCKLES]

I assure you, Colbyco
is in very capable hands.

Well, with my $ million
invested, it better be.

It is.

[KNOCKING ON DOOR]

Just a moment.

- Hi.
- Hi.

Oh, come on in.

L.B.'s on his way
back from school.

He, uh, should be
here any minute.

Can I get you something?

No, thank you.

I like the apartment.

I should have brought
you a housewarming gift,

- flowers or something.
- Ha, ha.

Well, it's a place to crash.

I'm really spending most of my
time down at campaign headquarters.

- You know, I wanted to...
- Fa...

After you.

Have you told L.B. yet?

About us, I mean. The divorce.

No.

I just... I haven't
found the moment.

Well, then let me
tell him. When...

- I'll tell him.
- But when, Jeff?

He's so confused.

We need to tell him, reassure
him we love him as much as ever.

I just don't wanna
open it up with him.

We're not even
sure where we are.

FALLON: We're on
the brink of a divorce.

L.B. is our son and
we're not being fair to him.

The problem's only gonna get
worse the longer we keep it going.

JEFF: I just don't know how to
tell him his world's coming apart.

That everything he thought
would last forever is over.

FALLON: It is over and we
can't keep hiding it from him.

BLAKE: What's the matter, L.B.?

Your mother and dad know
you're down here with me?

They don't care.

Well, of course they care.

Come on over here, son.

Now, tell me, what's this about?

I'm trying to be grown-up.

Can you help me, Grandpa?

Help you do what?

Find a place to live.

Why would you wanna
live some other place?

Because I did something bad.

Now my mom and dad don't
wanna be my mom and dad anymore.

I heard them. They
said it was over.

Aww.

But they didn't mean you.

None of this is your fault.

- Yes, it is.
- No.

No, it isn't.

[CRYING]

You didn't do
anything to them, L.B.

You're a wonderful son.

They love you. They...

They love you very much.

[KNOCKING ON DOOR]

DEX: Sean.

It's Dexter.

Well.

I didn't mean to
interrupt anything.

Tell, uh, Rowan
I'll be back later.

You're not interrupting
anything and, uh, Sean isn't here.

Why don't you come in?

[CLEARS THROAT]

So, what are you
doing in Natumbe?

I could ask you the same thing.

I would change my tone of
voice if I were you, Mr. Dexter.

I'm here with Sean on
business for Colbyco.

The room is registered to him.

Couldn't Colbyco afford
separate accommodations?

Not that I owe you any explanation,
but Sean left last night for Port Baddi.

He didn't see fit to
take me with him.

But now I'm glad he didn't.

So, uh, tell me.

Are you hungry?

I mean, I could order
room service or something.


Well, thanks for the offer.

I'm kind of on a
diet these days.

Oh, well, that's too bad.

You know, I was sitting
here last night, eating alone,

thinking about how much
fun it would be to do this town

with someone I
really cared about.

- And you thought of me.
- Yes.

As a matter of fact, I did.

It wasn't the first
time, you know?

What if I told you I
think about you a lot?

I'd say you were either
kidding me or yourself.

It's true.

Is that why you sandbagged
us the first chance you had?

Okay.

I admit it. Maybe I just
wanted too much too soon.

But we're here now.

Can we try again?

[SIGHS]

What's the matter?
I won't hurt you.

That's exactly what
I'm afraid you will do.

You're very tempting, Leslie.

But I gave in to that
temptation once and I paid for it.

You're like a smoldering fire.

Hot and inviting.

But as soon as anyone gets too
close, they run the risk of being b*rned.

Maybe you're just not man
enough to take the heat.

Well, you're sounding more
and more like Alexis every day.

Oh, you think you know
me so well, don't you?

Well, let me tell you something.

I don't need to be
like anyone to make it.

I'm gonna make it as
me, Leslie Carrington.

And if I ever thought about you
in the past, that was the last time.

Take care, kid.

You wanna feed with the
sharks, they just might feed on you.

[DOOR CLOSES]

Daddy, is L.B. all right?

He's fine. He's in his room.

Thank God.

I thought you'd like to know that
he took the bus by himself downtown

and came to my office.

- He did?
- Why?

He wanted me to find
him another place to live.

He overheard you two
discussing the divorce

and got the idea that he was at fault,
that he had done something wrong.

L.B. had nothing to do with it.

Did you ever tell him that?

Did you ever sit down and discuss
that with him? Either one of you?

We haven't been able
to bring ourselves to do it.

Look, I didn't ask you in
here to give you a lecture.

But I love that boy.

I know you both do too.

And if you're going to go through
with this thing, he's got to be told.

I made the same mistake when
your mother and I were divorced.

You were a little
older than L.B.,

but I couldn't bring myself
to tell you kids the truth.

I was wrong.

We'll do it.

We'll tell him tomorrow.

Thank you, Daddy.

So you're Gordon Wales' legman.

That's right, Mrs. Rowan.

He's out of town on
another assignment

and he asked me to take
notes on this particular article.

I see. Won't you
sit down, Mr., um...

- Baker. Thank you.
- Baker.

Oh, by the way, thank you
for seeing me at this late hour.

I heard you canceled all
your appointments today.

Yes. So aren't you
the lucky man? Heh.

So tell me, Mr. Baker,
what's the thrust of this article

that Mr. Wales
wants to do about me?

The inevitable one. Alexis
Colby Rowan, Blake Carrington.

Major business tycoons,
once married to each other,

vying for the highest
office in the state.

Hardly an original angle.

There is another
ingredient to this story.

The hook of the
piece, so to speak.

Which is?

Blake Carrington gave his company
to his three... Well, your three children.

You gave control of Colbyco
to your fourth husband,

a man of little or no
corporate experience.

I'd like to hear you say that to
my husband's face, Mr. Baker.

Ah, I'm just stating the facts.

Now, when we spoke
with Gerald Wilson...

Gerald Wilson?

What does Gerald Wilson
have to do with this?

Reputable attorney.

He had many dealings
with your late husband.

And none whatsoever
with me recently.

True. You fired him shortly
after Cecil Colby's death.

Now, maybe that's
why he let it slip

that you have a
skeleton in your closet?

Hmm?

Well, maybe it was
just sour grapes.

Yes. Maybe.

And maybe this
interview is over.

On the other hand, maybe
he was on to something.

You are trying my
patience, Mr. Baker.

A political scandal in the
middle of this campaign

would certainly try
your voter's patience

and be a great topic of discussion
at the debate tomorrow night.

If you print one lie, I
will see you in court.

We don't print lies, Mrs.
Rowan, we expose them.

Sean.

Looking for me?

Oh, darling. Darling.

SEAN: Ah, ahh.
- Mm.

Maybe I should buy
rare flowers more often.

- When did you get back?
- Just a short while ago.

I was gonna stay another day, but
things are going so smoothly at Vitron.

I decided to come back early.

Besides, I wouldn't wanna miss
your television debate tomorrow.

Hey, what is it?

Did something go wrong with
the campaign while I was away?

No, nothing's gone wrong.

I was just wondering

what would you think if I
withdrew from the campaign?

Withdrew? But why?
What happened?

Oh, nothing's
happened. It's just that...

Oh, I'm beginning to wonder
if public office is really for me.

I'm not gonna have any freedom.

I'm going to be projecting
an image that isn't me.

I'm gonna have to
wear drab clothes,

I'm gonna have to wear
those awful pastels that I hate.

And the media is gonna
be intruding in my private life.

I'm not even gonna
have a private life.

Hey. Do you know what I think?

What?

- I think you missed me.
- Ha, ha.

You've been working too hard.

How about a nice hot
bath? The two of us?

No, I just wanna wash
away this feeling I have.

All of these hundreds
of boring people,

giving me their boring ideas...

I'm wondering if I've
made a terrible mistake.

Look, you're so close.

After this debate,
you'll own the election.

You know something?
I'm beginning to wonder

if the only thing that I want to own
is just Colbyco and my newspaper.

Is it because of me?

I mean, you don't trust me
to run the company. Is that it?

No, it's because of me.

My life, my priorities, the
things that really matter to me.

Look, darling, I'm really tired.
Will you excuse me? I'm...

I need to go to bed.

Well, you won't get in
my way, Alexis. Not now.

I'm too close.

Too close.

Good morning.

Good morning.

A little cold out
here, isn't it?

Krystle...

I'm...

I'm just not any good when
we're not speaking to each other.

Blake, I... No,
no, let me finish.

I've given a lot of
thought to what you said,

your suspicions about Alexis,
and I think you're probably right.

I only wanted to help you.

I know.

And it may come
to just that, but...

I wanna win this election.

But as I said, I wanna win it
on the merits of my candidacy.

Now, I am convinced
that that upcoming debate

will allow me to do that.

Of course, if Alexis continues to
att*ck me on a personal level...

What are you saying?

What I'm saying is,
let's give her a chance.

If she acts fairly and decently
at that debate, all right,

but if she doesn't,

if she uses it as a platform
for some of her dirty tricks,

then I say, all right, let's take
the gloves off and we fight her.

We fight her with
everything we have.

What do you think about that?

Good.

Right.

I'm hungry.

What do you say we
have some breakfast?

JEFF: Steven.

I need to talk to you.

- Here I am.
- My father called from Los Angeles

and told me there's a
delay with the pipeline.

Denver-Carrington has a
contract with Colby Enterprises.

I don't have to remind you I
own half of Colby Enterprises.

There has been a slight
delay in the pipeline,

but I'm on top of it.
We'll get back on track.

A slight delay?

Look, Jeff, I said I'm on top
of it and I am. I gotta get going.

Well, you have a hell
of a way of showing it.

Now, I need completion
reports. I need the progress report

- and I need those dates now.
- Jeff, don't push me.

Steven, I'm not going
to stand on the sidelines

just because your father
handed you that chair.

There are responsibilities
that go along with that

and I just hope
you can handle it.

[CAR DOOR SLAMS
THEN ENGINE STARTS]

So I've made my decision.

Colorado needs a woman governor,

a leader who can guide this
state to a wonderful future,

and nothing is going to stop me.

It's with deep regret that
I announce here tonight

my decision to withdraw
from the race for governor.

So you're going through with it.

[SIGHS]

I'm just making up my mind.

Oh, for God's sakes,
Alexis, you're close.

Really close.

Sean!

Jeff.

Sorry I'm late.

Live news interview
outside the studio.

- I saw it in Blake's dressing room.
- I was so nervous.

They asked me about that stupid
nightclub picture in Natumbe.

I think you
handled it very well.

Thanks for your input. They would've
made mincemeat out of me otherwise.

Jeff, I want you and Daddy to
know that I've learned my lesson.

No more fuel for
the scandal sheets.

Fallon, Jeff, the
debate's about to start.

We're on our way.

Adam called, said
that he was on his way,

but I don't see Jeff
or Fallon anywhere.

- Steven went to look for them.
- Oh, here they come.

Here you go, Blake. Unemployment
statistics, housing and energy projects,

- everything you asked for.
- Thank you.

- Good luck, Daddy.
- Thanks, darling.

- Good luck. We're rooting for you.
- I know you are.

- Thank you. MAN :
It's overdue for the $ .

MAN : Does the alignment
check? MAN : And then sh*t.

I know you don't need this,
Alexis, but I wish you a lot of luck.

ALEXIS: Thank you.
- Have you made up your mind?

No.

Then I don't need to watch this.

WOMAN: I usually do, but I think...
- What was that all about?

Nothing.

Excuse me, Leslie.

MAN : You better keep
checking the monitor.

Steven, I just made it on time.

MAN : Check the under plug.

Excuse me, Blake. I just
wanted to wish you good luck.

Thank you. I wish you the same.

Thanks.

MAN : Better keep
checking this monitor.

WOMAN: I'm gonna try it now.

MAN : How is the focus looking?

Ladies and gentlemen, may
I have your attention, please?

If you'll all take your seats,
we'll be on the air very shortly.

Thank you.

WOMAN: No? MAN : Let's see.

MAN : Who is on one? WOMAN: Me.

[CREW CHATTERING INDISTINCTLY]

MAN : We'll be on
the air in seconds

and we'll begin with a brief opening
comment from each candidate.

We've drawn straws, and
Blake Carrington will speak first,

followed by Jim Rayford
and then Alexis Colby Rowan.

MAN : Stand by, please.

Good evening,
ladies and gentlemen,

and welcome to Colorado's
live gubernatorial debate.

It's a pleasure to have all three
candidates here this evening.

Blake Carrington,

Jim Rayford and
Alexis Colby Rowan.

Before we get into the question
and answer segment of our program,

we'll have all three
candidates come to the podium

and make a brief
opening comment.

We'll begin our evening
now with Mr. Blake Carrington.

Blake.

[AUDIENCE SCREAMS]

Oh, my God!

Blake.
