10x29 - Fall of the House of Ewing

Post by bunniefuu »

Bobby, wouldn't it be wonderful if I could carry a baby?

A squad of U.S. Marshals came in and sealed our files.

The charges are coming in and they're gonna bury the Ewings.

You two should let in jail for all that you've done.

Make yourself useful.

- Sue Ellen, what are you doing? - Cutting you off, you viper.

Wendell, you touch that painting and I'll k*ll you where you stand.

For a man in his condition, anything could happen.

Hey, hi there, honey.

How you doing there, honey?

ELLIE: Seven pounds, ounces.

Gonna be some kind of a strapping youngster.

SUE ELLEN: And how is Jenna, is she okay?

BOBBY: Yeah, she's doing fine.

-What'd she name him? PAM: Lucas.

She named him after her father.

Lucas Wade.

Must be years or more since Lucas d*ed.

Seems just like yesterday.

J.R.: Good, I'm glad you're all here.

Well, J.R., did you hear? Jenna had a little boy.

I'm not concerned about birth, Mama. I'm concerned about death.

The death of Ewing Oil.

You missed all the fun at the office today, Bobby.

A squad of U.S. Marshals came in and sealed up all of our files.

- No, don't tell me. - They locked us up as tight as a drum.

You can forget about doing any business.

- Damn it. - You told me that senator of Donna's...

was gonna help us out.

- I said he was gonna try. - Where's Donna when we need her?

- What happened to all that influence? - Oh, now, wait a minute, J.R.

You have no right to blame Donna for what you did.

Do I have to remind you that we're all in this together?

Thanks to you. You dragged us into this.

- What? - Bobby didn't start it.

- He didn't stop it either. - What's going on here?

- We're supposed to be family. - We were, but you destroyed that.

All right, desert me.

Fold your hands.

But I'm still in the game. I got another card to play.

Come on, Sue Ellen, we're gonna go out for dinner.

[KNOCKING ON DOOR]

Who is it?

MAN: It's me.

I hope I'm not interrupting anything.

It depends on why you're here. Come in.

What's that, your lunch?

- I bought us some... - Don't tell me. Chinese?

Here, make yourself useful.

Oh, okay. You know, I'm thinking...

I was kind of funny the last time I saw you.

Cliff, what's up?

Nothing. No, nothing.

I'm just kind of lonely. And then I remembered the time...

you brought the Chinese food over to my apartment...

and I just thought I'd take you up on your rain check.

I didn't offer you a rain check.

You kicked me out and kept the food, remember?

Knowing you, that's probably the same bag I brought you.

Okay. I probably deserve that.

Why don't you finish getting dressed, I'll open this up.

- I don't eat out of canons. - Got plates?

No. You know, I thought we could just spend a nice, relaxing evening together...

take off the gloves, like you wanted to.

Why not?

I don't suppose you heard about anything that happened over at Ewing Oil today?

Something's going on over there and I just can't figure it out.

And you think I know?

I don't know, you're the one who's friendly with them.

Why don't you just give J.R. a call, ask him?

You know, I mean, if it's no trouble.

I haven't talked to J.R. for a while...

but I'd be happy to give him a call for you.

Would you?

- I'll see what I can find out. - That'd be great.

Hey, if we're gonna work together...

we've gotta show each other some good faith.

I could not agree with you more.

You know, I'm not wildly ecstatic over Chinese food.

But there's this wonderful new restaurant...

that I've been going to lately.

Why don't you let me take you there...

and we'll celebrate our newborn friendship.

I'll pick up the check.

[GROWLING]

I brought the baby a lion.

| see.

Well, I thought I could make sure nobody else brought him a lion before I did.

Where's Charlie? I thought she was here with you.

She went down to the cafeteria.

She said Pam and Bobby were here when they told you about the baby.

Yeah. Yeah, they were.

- How did Pam...? - She was fine. They both were.

- And you? - Me? Just fine.

- Are you? - Why shouldn't I be?

Come here and sit next to me.

Ray, why do you think I hesitated when you asked me to move in with you?

Well, because you're being pig-headed.

No.

I had a feeling that you didn't exactly know what you were getting into.

I tried to tell you.

I don't come alone.

I'm a package deal.

What are you getting at? That you wanna move out?

No.

But that I'd understand if you wanted to change your mind.

Change my mind? What kind of talk is that?

You've had time with me and my teenager.

But now there's Lucas.

And along with that baby, there comes a mountain of problems.

I know that.

Knowing it and living it are two different things.

Ray, maybe you don't feel like you'd be close to the baby.

Close to a little baby?

Sure I could.

Not just a baby, that baby.

Listen, I know why you're asking me all these questions. I...

I must have reacted when the nurse came in...

and thought I was the father.

Charlie probably said something to you.

Okay.

I got hit by a little dose of reality.

Bobby's the father, I'm not.

It's just something I'm gonna have to learn to live with.

That doesn't mean that I can't love the little boy.

Or that I want you to leave.

Ray, you know the trees you planted out in front of the house?

What makes them yours?

Not the fact that you planted them...

but that you watered them and you nurtured them and you made them grow.

That's the same way it is with kids.

Lucas is gonna belong to the ones who raise him.

- I'm not gonna be able to have... - How dare you.

- What? - After all your ranting last night...

about the marshals closing down your company...

you forgot to mention one thing, that Mandy Winger was with you.

What?

This time, I wanted to believe you, J.R. I thought it was finished with her.

It is. There's nothing going on between her and me.

Oh, I see that.

She came to the office, she wanted to talk, and that's all we did, just talk.

Well, it that is true, it's only because the marshals showed up.

I was gonna tell you, but everything was happening so fast, I...

- Frankly, I forgot about it. - Uh-huh.

Like you forgot to tell me you met her at a restaurant?

How did you know that?

That was the day you and I were supposed to have lunch, you didn't show.

Oh, Sue Ellen.

You set me up so you could spy on me. Are you still that paranoid?

Why not? You've given me every reason to be.

I gotta admit, my record had not been spotless...

which is why I didn't tell you I bumped into her.

I didn't want to upset you. She is out of my life, you gotta believe that.

Oh, I can see that by the picture.

Would you look at the picture? There are other people in it too.

People who are capable of bringing my whole life crashing down.

That's why I have to get to the office. Would you trust me for once in your life?

Mandy, there's a lot going on.

Honey, I'm telling you, I got plans for you.

Madonna would give her eyeteeth for such deals.

That's all very nice, Bruce...

but I have some plans of my own...

and they don't include leaving Dallas just yet.

Sweetheart, you're a very nice girl.

You did a beautiful campaign for Sue Ellen.

Wonderful. That's nice, Mandy.

But now it is time that Mandy start thinking about Mandy.

And I spoke with Mrs. Ewing and she is in complete agreement.

- Is she? - Absolutely.

She's behind your leaving percent.

Well, I wonder just how behind it she'll be...

when I leave Dallas with her husband.

Excuse me?

Don't tell me you didn't know.

Wait a second. Run this by me one more time.

I wanna get a grip on this.

You're telling me...

that you're fooling around with Mrs. Ewing's husband?

- You really didn't know, did you? - Oh, my God.

Sue Ellen doesn't care about this movie business.

She set this whole thing up just to keep me away from J.R.

I can't believe what I'm hearing. Mandy, this has gotta stop.

- Stop? - Sue Ellen is my major investor.

You're gonna blow my deals.

That's all you care about, isn't it?

There's a million men in this world, why do you have to pick J.R. Ewing?

Why are you doing this to me?

I'm not doing anything to you, Sue Ellen is.

She's manipulating your life just as she did mine.

But that's all over now.

I'm back to teach her a lesson.

A lesson she'll never forget.

Either that congressman is out or he's ducking your calls.

J.R., I'm going down to Accounting, you wanna come along?

Yeah, might as well.

Get some exercise anyhow.

- I'll buzz you there if you're needed. - All right.

If they're going over the records, I'd better be there.

[PHONE RINGING]

J.R.: Well, they gonna do what they gonna do.

J.R., I think it's the call you've been waiting for.

Go ahead, Bobby, I'll join you later.

J.R. Ewing here.

We met in a garage in Washington.

Where have you been? I thought we could work something out.

I'm at the Park Towers in North Dallas, Room .

Be here about : tonight.

I'll be there.

CLIFF: Jackie.

Jackie.

Why do I always have to be the one to catch the types?

Cliff, I'm sorry. But I never said I was a good typist.

- Good morning. - Pam.

Pam, I'm glad to see you. What's going on over at Ewing Oil?

- Oh, I have no idea. - You gotta know something.

I know as much as I want to know, which is nothing. Look, come on.

Come here.

[PAM LAUGHING]

Oh, I have the most wonderful news...

and if I don't tell somebody, I'm going to burst.

Don't tell me you're excited about Bobby becoming a father.

Cliff, for some strange reason...

remarks like that do not endear you to me, they make me want to k*ll you.

I'm kidding. I know, you've come to your senses and you're coming back to work.

Wrong again.

Cliff... I think I can have a baby.

How? You can't get pregnant.

Yes, I can get pregnant, I just can't carry a baby to full term.

But they've made these advances in this whole area of medicine.

My doctor, Dr. Everson, I've been seeing him for six months...

and he thinks he's found something that will work for me.

Well, that would be fantastic.

Have you told Bobby?

No, he doesn't even know about the test.

I think I'm gonna tell him tonight.

I get the final results from the test in two days and...

What if it works? What if it works?

Maybe it will.

I gotta say, you know. You deserve a little luck now.

Oh, I want to have a baby.

[KNOCKING ON DOOR]

-It's the senator, ma'am. DONNA: Hi.

Good evening.

-And good evening ... DONNA: Shh.

- She's almost asleep. - Okay.

- Think you can put her upstairs? - Sure.

Thanks.

Well, you look absolutely gorgeous.

Well, thank you. You look pretty good yourself.

Thanks.

You know, we don't have to be there till , how about something to drink?

Sure. Soda would be fine.

Well, I...

to||owed up on that conversation we had with Bobby.

And I talked to some people over at the Justice Department...

and the charges are coming in and they're gonna bury the Ewings.

I guess I'm sorry to hear that.

You guess?

J.R. is guilty.

And Bobby?

I don't know.

I mean, legally, I guess so.

Morally?

I don't think so.

Why are you telling me all this?

I mean, sooner or later, it's gonna come up before a court...

and justice...

will be served.

Justice can be served in a number of ways.

And despite the mounting evidence, not everyone's out for blood.

I don't know what you mean.

Well, I do have certain influence.

And I might be able to talk to some people...

and suggest that justice might better be served by...

working something out.

No guarantees...

but there are reasonable voices on both sides.

This doesn't have anything to do with me anymore.

I think it does.

I can't tell you what to do.

Well, you can tell me how you feel.

- Honestly? - Honestly.

Well, I think a thousand years behind bars...

would be just great for J.R. Ewing.

But...

I don't want to see the family hurt.

Can you understand that?

Of course I can.

You wouldn't be the woman I fell in love with if I couldn't.

I think I'm very fortunate to have you, Andrew Dowling.

I'm sorry, ma'am, this office is closed.

NANCY: Oh, that's all right. I've seen what I wanted.

Oh, uh... Would Bobby Ewing be here?

I'm Bobby Ewing. Can I help you?

You don't recognize me, do you?

- Am I supposed to? - I guess not.

I guess you people up here in this ivory tower...

don't recognize the faces of those people that you've hurt.

Now, wait a minute.

You're Mrs. Scotfield.

Surprise. He remembers.

I feel sorry for your wife.

She's a decent woman.

But you and your brother, I tell you...

you two should let in jail for all that you've done.

-Look, ma'am, I think you'd better... BOBBY: Phyllis.

Why don't you go on downstairs? Thank you.

- Would you come in here for a minute? - Sure.

Mrs. Scotfield, what are you doing here?

And what were you talking about?

I just wanted to make sure...

that you know who's responsible for all of this.

What?

Not some freak accident that brought you down.

It's one of the little people fighting back.

Me.

You?

Yes, sir. Me.

I didn't get a lot of pleasure out of it, but I got some satisfaction.

You make decisions to just close people's lives down...

without even so much as a, “Beg your pardon.“

You think you can tromp all over anybody and get away with it.

Well, you're not gonna get away with it this time.

You still blame me for your husband's death, don't you?

It was not my fault.

I even came down to Navarro for you.

Your wife made you.

All of this...

for vengeance.

It didn't start out that way. I just wanted some justice.

- Oh, justice, yes. - Yeah.

But I couldn't get that, not alone.

And then somebody as powerful as you come to help me.

He wanted some vengeance.

And who was that?

Doesn't matter anymore.

Nothing matters anymore.

It's all over.

One, two, three, four.

One, two, three, four.

[PHONE RINGS]

-Yeah. MAN : Ewing just got an the elevator.

Ewing's on his way up. You better get out.

MAN : All right. I think we're okay.

See you on TV.

[KNOCKING]

Mr. Ewing.

Come in.

Well, I can't tell how relieved I was to get your phone call.

Those accountants are swarming around like flies around a dead horse.

Sit down, Mr. Ewing.

Bourbon? - Yeah, fine.

Yes, the case is proceeding.

Yeah? Well, we got to find a way to stop it, don't we?

That's why we're meeting.

I realize that I'm in somewhat of a hold here...

and I need your help to negotiate my way out.

They've got quite a case, Mr. Ewing.

Just what kind of negotiation did you have in mind?

Well, you know.

No. I'm not sure I do.

Well, I got the impression when we were talking in the garage there...

that you were amenable to making some sort of a deal.

Well...

what kind of a deal were you thinking about?

Look, I'm just a little old Texas oilman.

I'm not savvy to the ways of Washington.

I'm gonna need your help in finding out what's required, you know?

You know, Mr. Ewing. Desire plays a great part in a" this.

He's a wily son of a g*n, isn't he?

Say the words, sucker.

You see? Now how can we create this desire?

When we met in the garage...

you mentioned something about my salary...

being only or $ , a year.

Precisely what were you getting at?

What?

What were you getting at?

Well, I wasn't getting into anything.

You must have misunderstood me.

I don't think so.

You implied that there was a lot of money at stake.

No, I never implied that.

I told you I was a good, solid American citizen...

that was duped by that t*rror1st, Calhoun.

But if you gentlemen are gonna tum this whole thing ugly...

and hound me because of something I did out of patriotism...

well, I guess I do have a problem.

Mr. Ewing. Come on, sit down. Let's discuss this.

No. I couldn't have gotten out of this whole thing.

A very high official approached me and told me that it I paid the right price...

he could fix things and I'd never have to worry about this again.

But that person didn't know J.R. Ewing. I don't believe in bribery.

Damn it.

I nailed the Abscam people.

I've nailed senators, congressmen.

How the he“ did this Texan get off the hook?

Well, this was just going to be the icing on the cake anyway.

We got enough to nail this guy.

What time you gonna go to the doctor tomorrow?

Eleven.

Bobby, wouldn't it be wonderful if I could carry a baby?

Make me the happiest man in the world.

That is unless, of course, I go to prison.

I'll take a shower. Hey, partner. Morning.

PAM: Well, hi, sweetheart. - Hi.

Bobby, my car has been sounding funny. Would you check it out?

Sure. You can take mine for a couple of days.

Probably just needs servicing. I'll take care of it.

Hi.

What's wrong?

Nothing.

Oh, it doesn't look like nothing to me. Come on.

Come here and tell me.

Well, you went to the hospital, didn't you?

- To see Jenna's new baby. - Yes.

Well, I just wondered...

if you went to the hospital when I was born too.

Well, what do you mean? What made you ask that?

I'm adopted, aren't I?

Maybe you and Daddy weren't there.

Christopher, how did you know that you were adopted?

I heard Clayton and Grandma talking a couple nights ago.

Oh, sweetheart.

Listen, Daddy's gonna be out of the shower in a minute...

and I think the three of us will talk about it, okay?

I know I was out late last night, but I was not out with Mandy Winger.

You're the one who brought up the subject.

I know how much it bothers you. I wanna put your mind at ease.

I was in a meeting with a very high official of the Justice Department.

You know what he tried to do?

He tried to entrap me into offering him a bribe.

That's how big this thing is. They're coming at me from every direction.

- Well, did you? - Did I what?

Offer him a bribe.

Well, I gotta admit I was ready to...

but I smelled a trap and just slipped right out.

Well, slipping out of things seems to be a real talent with you.

J.R.: Well... - Morning, Mama. -Morning.

Sorry I'm late. With all this construction on Braddock Road...

that traffic must have been backed up five miles.

I guess Clayton must be just about ready to chop off my head.

Well, Clayton overslept. He'll be down in a minute.

Good. I'll join you for a cup of coffee, then.

I have an office to get to.

I don't know how long this meeting will last.

- I'll try to be home as quick as I can. - Sure.

I'm not surprised Clayton overslept. He's really been pushing himself lately.

Not you too, Ray Krebbs.

She's been trying to tie me to an easy chair since the day I met her.

I'll grab a cup of coffee and we'll take off.

Christopher, do you understand? Because it's important. Do you?

Yeah.

You didn't tell me I was adopted, because you didn't want me to know.

Sweetheart, we were going to tell you.

We wanted to make sure you were old enough to understand...

what being adopted really meant.

It means you're not my mommy and daddy.

It only means that you weren't born from our bodies.

But you came into our hearts, pal.

That's what's really important.

Christopher...

there are two kinds of parents.

There are natural parents and there are adoptive parents.

And natural parents have to take whatever baby is born to them.

But not adoptive parents.

They have their pick of all the babies that have already been born.

That's right. And out of all the babies in the world, we picked you.

Because we loved you so much.

Well... where was I burn?

You were born in California.

Is that where my real mommy is?

Christopher...

this is your real mommy.

Now, you take a good look at her...

because she loves you more than anything in the whole world.

And I'm your real daddy for exactly the same reason.

The lady that...

That brought you into the world, she...

She's not alive anymore.

What happened to her?

Christopher, we're going to answer all your questions...

when you're old enough to understand.

But until then...

the most important thing for you to remember...

is that you're our son.

And you will always be our son.

See?

We're a family, and that's the most important thing.

And nothing on Earth can ever change that.


All right?

Well, here you are.

I've been looking all over for you.

Don't start on me again.

I don't know what's wrong with you, Clayton. I really don't.

There's nothing wrong with me that a good woman can't cure.

Damn it, Clayton. You are overexerting yourself.

I'm not. I'm just building up.

To what? An early grave?

Oh, you are so exasperating!

I'm doing exactly what the doctor ordered.

Exercise is the best thing in the world for me.

Well, yes, of course. But look at you. You're out of breath. You're sweating.

What's wrong with a little sweat?

And as far as being out of breath is concerned...

you're the one that's taken away.

Come on, Clayton. No. No, I'm serious, Clayton.

- So am I. - No.

I've been thinking about that little baby of Jenna's.

Why don't we lock the door over there and start working on a new uncle?

Clayton, no, no. I don't like this.

No, Clayton. Really, I'm worried about you.

Oh, you worry about everything.

Oh, you are bad. You are so bad.

Tell you, I feel like a man waiting for his last meal to be brought in.

Bobby...

I never thought in a million years this would happen.

You just didn't think.

Good morning.

I'm Richard Taylor, Department of Justice.

Let's sit down, shall we?

You all know what we're here for.

Before we begin, there's something I like to say.

TAYLOR: If you don't mind, you let me do the talking.

It's their show. Let them run it.

TAYLOR: Now, I'm not a judge and this isn't a trial.

There's an effort to determine the best way to create justice...

out of what was a shocking breach of our nation's security.

I'd like everyone to know that my own inclination...

was to not hold this meeting, but to proceed to trial...

for which I am personally convinced of a conviction.

You're not convinced of anything...

or you wouldn't be playing games like you did the other night.

BOBBY: J.R. - I beg your pardon?

If you pursue this...

it's gonna be the longest trial in United States government history.

Would you back ”? What's the point of antagonizing him?

Frankly, the only reason we're here is that we are fully aware...

just how costly a trial of this nature could be.

Unlike you, we do feel a sense of responsibility...

- to the taxpayers of this nation. - Wait a minute.

Mr. Taylor...

the Ewings are patriotic American citizens.

You bet we are.

Now, despite what you may think, it is our considered opinion...

that should this case go to trial, our side would prevail.

At the very least, all company business would be suspended.

We'd ask that a sizable fine be assessed...

and a prison term for both of you gentlemen...

would be a fairly good bet.

My brother was not involved in this.

He was an officer of the company. In the eyes of the law, he was involved.

Now, our accountants have come out...

with a preliminary tally of the company's worth.

Our figures coincide with those of your own recent audit.

So I'd be fairly close in assessing the company's value...

mat, round figures, $ billion.

We'll accept as penalty one-third of that total figure.

One-third? - Are you out of your mind?

You're talking about over $ million.

In addition to that...

Ewing Oil would be required to divest itself of all assets.

Fields, accounts, subsidiaries, the Ewing building.

The Ewing building too?

And the name must be retired.

No business must ever be conducted...

under the Ewing Oil banner again.

Don't you feel this is a little extreme, sir?

- I feel it's generous. - We'll fight this.

The terms you're talking about are steep.

Not as steep as going to jail.

Once you rid yourself of Ewing Oil...

you can operate under any other name.

We will be keeping pretty close tabs on you for a while.

How long will my clients have to consider your proposal?

Too much press has already gone out.

Any more will make it impossible for us to accept a deal.

So I'm afraid we'll have to make a decision at this meeting.

Wait, even if we decide to go along with you on this...

it's gonna take months to sell off those assets.

Oh, there are buyers out there.

Even I might know one or two.

Gentlemen, it's fairly simple.

You either sign now, lose Ewing Oil and pay a heavy fine...

or take a pretty good chance of losing Ewing Oil...

paying a higher fine and spending a couple of years in jail.

We'll leave you to make a decision.

[INTERCOM BUZZES]

-Yes? WOMAN: Doctor, Mrs. Far/aw is here.

- Send her in. - Yes, doctor.

[KNOCKING]

- Mrs. Fallow, come in. - Thank you.

Your phone call puzzled me.

You have a bone to pick with me?

Well...

it's just that I find it difficult to believe...

that my husband should be quite so active, Dr. Gordon.

He did just get out of the hospital.

What do you mean, “active“?

Well, he's lifting weights. He's riding horses all day.

It's a little as if he was searching for his youth again.

That's crazy.

I don't understand why you told him to do that.

- Is that what he said? - Well, yes.

Sit down, Mrs. Fallow.

He says that he feels all right.

But he did just receive a head injury and he's not a young man.

Mrs. Fallow, I'm afraid your husband is doing a little evading.

Yes, I told him he needed exercise, but nice brisk walks.

And I told him he should be very careful.

And it's not his head that worries me.

Did you know that he'd had a heart att*ck?

No.

About years ago.

It's all right.

That is, the recuperation was fairly complete.

- Fairly? - Yes, fortunately.

But in the tests we just did in the hospital...

we found some blockage that will have to be taken care of.

Obviously, Mr. Fallow didn't want you to know about this.

But I think it best you do.

You're going to have to make sure that he doesn't overdo it.

Because...

with a man in his condition...

anything could happen.

[INTERCOM BUZZES]

Yes?

WOMAN: Mrs. Ewing, Mandy Winger is here.

- Send her in. - Yes, Mrs. Ewing.

Sue Ellen, I'm so angry with you.

I came from a meeting with Bruce Harvey...

and he told me you and he agreed to send me back to Hollywood.

That's right.

Why? I told you I don't care about being a star.

I mean, really.

Traveling around the world, I can do that anytime.

I wanna stay here and help you get the campaign going.

That is amazingly generous of you.

You'd really stay here for me?

Well, of course I would.

How could I ever repay you for that?

Sue Ellen, that's not important.

No, no, no. It's very important to me.

Maybe...

I have an idea.

Do you know what this is?

That's my contract.

Yes, with Valentine Lingerie.

Sue Ellen, what are you doing?

Cutting you off, you viper.

Came back to help me?

You came back to help yourself...

to my husband.

Okay, Sue Ellen.

Think what you may.

But aren't you cutting off your nose to spite your face?

You saw what your company was without me. It was nothing.

We survived. We will again.

What I don't understand is why.

Couple of months ago, I could've thrown you away like last week's garbage.

J.R. wouldn't have said a word, but I didn't.

Not only did I leave you with your self-respect...

but I built a career for you.

I made you into a star.

Oh, yes.

You built me.

You made me. You gave me.

You pulled my strings like I was some kind of a puppet is what you did.

And you expect me to be grateful?

I built you a company.

No, lady.

I built the company. Me.

I bought it. I molded it. And I made it what it is.

- Oh, you were a terrific poster girl. - Poster girl?

But it takes more than that to succeed.

You were useful.

You bitch.

As a tool.

But you're nothing more than a disposable piece of facial tissue.

I'll show you how disposable I am when I leave Dallas with your husband.

You know, Mandy, I am really happy that we had this little chat.

Because now, for the first time, I fully realize...

it is not J.R. who needs you.

It is you who needs J.R.

But I have a feeling that there isn't a Winger in his future.

Don't count on it, Sue Ellen.

You'll hear from me again.

[HONKING HORN]

MAN : Look at this. MAN : Hey.

-Hey, where y'all going? MAN : Hey, y'all.

MAN : Hey, hi there, honey.

[MEN CHATTERING AND HOOTING]

Who's a real cowgirl?

Hey, hi there, honey.

MAN : This is good. MAN : Come on, honey. Hey.

Hey, you little baby.

[HORN HONKING]

Move it!

Move it!

J.R.: Kind of sad, isn't it?

I've been in this office a long time.

But why do you have to get out?

Well, the building's been sold.

Whoever owns it...

I guess he wants the space for somebody else.

Son, I wanna tell you something.

Longtime ago...

I promised you that someday you'd be running Ewing Oil.

But there's not gonna be a Ewing Oil anymore.

There's not even gonna be a building.

Well, there might not be a building and the name may change...

but don't you ever believe there won't be a Ewing Oil.

I don't understand.

Well, a name is just a name...

and a building is nothing but a bunch of glass and steel.

But Ewing Oil is everything that this family stood for.

It's in here, son.

Inside of me.

One day, it'll be inside of you too.

Hello, J.R.

Wendell, what are you doing here?

Just wanna be sure that you don't take anything that belongs to me.

What are you talking about? Get the hell out of my office.

Your office?

[WENDELL LAUGHS]

This is not your office anymore.

It's not your building anymore. This is my building new.

- What? - That's right.

No, it was sold to a...

Posner Realty Company?

It's a minor subsidiary of mine.

Friend of mine in the Justice Department told me that you were...

looking for a buyer.

Justice Department?

Now, wait a minute. You're the one who aimed them at me?

Wouldn't take the entire credit for it. I did have something to do with it.

Warned you not to cross me.

You're gonna pay for this, Wendell.

If it takes the rest of my life, I'll get back at you.

More threats.

Take your boy and get out of my building.

We'll leave when we damn we" please.

No, you leave now and take this eyesore with you.

Wendell.

You touch that painting and I'll k*ll you where you stand.

John Ross?

This is Ewing Oil.

Come on, boy.

The doctor says everything looks fine.

He thinks I can carry a baby to full term.

Oh, honey, that's wonderful.

How's Christopher?

Oh, he's great. We spent the whole day together.

Bobby, we both better start spending more time with him...

especially now.

Pam, he's gonna be fine. Now, you hurry up and get home.

If we're gonna have another baby, we got some work to do.

Well, if that's the case, I'll be home in minutes.

Bye.
