Dallas s02e19 Episode Script

Kristin, what are you trying to do? Kill me? You know my name! She is my sister, J.
R.
I don't want you to use her as a pawn in one of your silly little games.
You've had a remarkable effect on my brother.
He hasn't wanted to admit it, but his marriage is over.
It's just flat finished.
It's time you faced up to some facts.
Nobody is perfect.
Not me, and not your brother.
It's time you grew up, Pamela.
Bobby, what's the matter? You look so unhappy.
Granddaddy? - Granddaddy - Just a minute, Lucy.
Forget it.
What's the matter, Lucy? I might as well be invisible, for all the attention I get from him.
I don't believe it! Little devil has done it to me again.
- Twice in a row she's won.
- I told you I was good.
All right, Bobby.
Take over.
See if you can do any better than I can.
Ten cents a point? - Greedy little bugger, isn't she? - Thank you, Kristin, but not tonight.
Well, I'll I'll give you a go.
Ten cents a point, huh? Well, a girl's gotta think about her future.
You know, I'm really glad I asked Kristin to come out here.
She really adds some color to this place.
You know, J.
R.
, I've got it all figured out.
- What's that? - What you're up to.
Why is it everybody always thinks I'm up to something? Explain that to me.
If you thought there was any way in the world you could get away with it I think you'd seduce my baby sister.
Well, I've underestimated you, Sue Ellen.
I've never given you proper credit for your colorful imagination.
Since you know that not even I'd put up with anything like that you decided to throw her to Bobby.
Just one more little wedge between Pamela and him.
Well I'm not taking responsibility for nature taking its course.
I can't do that, can I? I guess not.
Night, honey.
You know, I could spend the rest of my life here instead of a few days visiting you.
No matter what Mama says, money is not the most important thing in the world.
That isn't what you used to think.
Well, I thought I could save you from repeating my mistakes.
This is a mistake? I might have made other choices choices that would have made me happier.
You don't have to worry about me, Sue Ellen.
I'll be very happy.
Happy and rich.
You don't like me very much, do you? Why? What have I ever done to you? You didn't have to do anything.
You were there.
"Look how pretty your sister is, Kristin.
Look how well-behaved she is.
Why can't you be well-behaved like that? No, you can't have a new dress.
We'll just make over one of Sue Ellen's.
It'll be just fine.
" No one paid any attention to me until after you married J.
R.
- That's not true, Kristin.
- Yes, it is.
I remember it very well, Sue Ellen.
I'm not playing second fiddle to you anymore.
I'm not gonna be second best.
I'm gonna get everything you've got and more.
Much more.
What about Bobby and Pamela? Do you think they'll get back together? Why? Just curious.
Sue Ellen, Dr.
Danvers is on the telephone for you.
- Here, I'll help you up.
- Thank you, Lucy.
- Can you make it? - I think so.
I'll be right back.
I wonder what J.
R.
was up to when he asked you to stay here.
He was just trying to be nice.
He knew I'd be bored to death in Santa Fe with Mama.
J.
R.
is never nice.
Well, if you'll excuse me, I'm gonna go work on a suntan for the prom.
Hello? Sue Ellen? You? I thought it was Dr.
Danvers.
I lied.
- I need to talk to you.
- Cliff, what if your phone's? What, my phone's bugged? No, not this one.
Don't worry.
- I thought you didn't want us to talk.
- I need some information.
No, I don't need facts and figures.
I can get that.
I just need to know how important the Palo Seco field is to J.
R.
You know he never talks to me about business.
I thought you might've heard something in conversation.
- Cliff - I need it.
I need that information.
At dinner the other night Jock told him that he wanted to tie up the leases in that field as fast as possible.
There'd been enough time wasted and money.
If the field is important to Daddy then it's important to J.
R.
Thank you.
Cliff, wait.
Sue Ellen, what did the doctor say? You look terrible.
Nothing.
Nothing important.
- We have to stop meeting like this.
- Hi.
I mean it.
I feel like I'm having a clandestine affair with my own wife.
- I'm not enjoying it.
- I know.
Maybe we should stop meeting.
I love to see you but we haven't resolved anything.
It can resolve itself in a minute, Pamela.
You could come home.
If you were Bobby Smith or Bobby Jones, I would in a minute.
That's one wish the Ewing money can't grant you.
I love you, Bobby.
If I didn't believe that, Pamela, I wouldn't be here.
But I can't love the Ewing family.
They destroyed my father, and now they're trying to destroy my brother.
Pamela the feuding has got to stop, and it can stop with us.
I thought it would when I married you, but it's worse than ever.
It takes time, honey.
You've got to give it time.
Bobby.
Please don't make this any harder for me than it already is.
I just don't know what I'm going to do.
Come on.
I'll buy you lunch.
Yeah.
They'll sink a well here, I reckon.
I'm telling you, Wally, you got Ewing Oil over a barrel.
Because the way the law works if you don't give them your lease, all the leases they hold don't mean a thing.
They can't drill the whole Palo Seco field.
Cliff you know what kind of winter we had here last year.
I barely salvaged half the crop.
Fact is I need lease money to keep this place.
They know that.
That's why they're only offering you $ 10,000 cash, plus 15% royalties.
- That's not enough.
That's peanuts.
- You think I want to accept? I don't have a choice.
If I don't agree, they go to arbitration and then the Office of Land Management forces me to let them drill.
Not while I'm in control, or at least anyway for a fair price.
Look, you got a chance to beat the Ewings at their own game.
And maybe if you hold out some of the other farmers will start holding out for a fair price.
Meanwhile, what do I do for cash? Well, suppose I get Digger to buy a half share of any future royalties? That should be enough to hold out a while.
Digger? Well, yeah.
It can't be me because it'd be a conflict of interest.
Cliff, I've known you since you were a little boy.
You've been my lawyer ever since you got out of school.
And you can't fool me.
Okay.
I read the OLM report on this field.
It's expected to be a big one.
Every day the Ewings can't drill here, it costs them a small fortune.
So maybe miracles do happen.
Maybe they'll go broke before they can start drilling.
- Wouldn't that be a day? - Well, if not maybe we can get the royalties boosted.
Be nice for Digger to make some good money off of it too.
Maybe the Barnes family can win for a change.
- Have we got a deal? - You come up with the cash pronto and you got yourself a deal! - Bobby, did you speak to Pam today? - Yes, I did, Mama.
I don 't think she's coming home yet.
Thank you.
- J.
R.
- Sir.
Did you get that lease from Kessel yet? Oh, it's just a matter of days now.
He's got a mortgage payment due.
No money.
- He'll settle.
- Well, he better.
If we don't start drilling that well soon, it could cost us.
Well, not if we're paying him the 25% royalties he's asking for.
I expect a pretty good yield on that field.
He's been raising his price again, has he? The old buzzard.
I have an idea Cliff Barnes is behind this.
There's no sense looking for a Barnes under every problem we Ewings have.
Well, he was his lawyer for years.
He's not anymore.
Since joining the OLM he had to stop his private practice.
Doesn't matter who's buying it as long as we get that lease.
- Take care of it, J.
R.
- Yes, sir.
The less we have to do with the Barneses, the better.
That's gonna be real difficult, J.
R because I happen to be married to a Barnes, and I intend to stay married.
Are you crazy? Now, where am I gonna get that kind of money? Out of your checking account.
Where else? $ 10,000? Have you lost your mind? Look, I could only scrape up 15.
Digger needs the rest from you.
It's only a loan.
Well, I don't want to ask Bobby for any money now.
Why? He didn't close your account when you moved out, did he? - Of course not! Bobby's not like that.
- He's a Ewing, isn't he? Money is not the most important thing in his life, if that's what you mean.
I don't want to ask him for money right now or can't you understand that? What I understand is that you don't want to help your father out of the gutter permanently.
- That's not fair, Cliff.
- Fair? Don't talk to me about fair.
The Ewing fortune was founded on Digger's skill.
Without him, they wouldn't have a penny.
Now they're worth millions.
You call that fair? Pam, look, once they start drilling Digger won't have to worry about money for as long as he lives.
Why did Digger send you? Why didn't he come and ask me himself? He doesn't know anything about it.
Because we can't find him.
We don't know where he is in California.
Pam, he needs that money, and he needs it quickly.
He needs it now.
If we don't get it to him, he'll find it someplace else and Digger loses.
Again.
Pam.
All right.
- I'll call Bobby.
- Good girl.
Connie.
This is Pam Ewing.
Is Bobby there? Well, when he gets back, would you tell him I called, and it's really important? Thank you.
Bye-bye.
Well, he's not there.
That doesn't mean you're gonna back out, does it? - No, I'm not, Cliff.
- Good.
Because, listen, I mean it.
As soon as they start drilling you'll get all your money back.
It's just a loan.
Go to the bank? That's what you wanted to talk about? That's what was so important? Well, it's a lot of money, Bobby.
It's a short-term loan, though.
As soon as they start drilling, Digger can pay you back.
It's a big chance for him.
How many times do I have to tell you? I don't care how much you lend him.
I know, or I wouldn't have done it.
The only thing I mind is what this is doing to us.
Don't worry about the money.
It's not important.
You know something? - Right now you look just like your sister.
- Do I? Nobody's ever told me that before.
Kristin, what are you trying to do? Kill me? You know my name! I was beginning to think that I was as invisible as Sue Ellen makes me feel.
I get the impression your sister thinks you're terrific.
- You think so? I've always admired Sue Ellen, the way she looks, the way she acts.
Sometimes I'm mean to her but that's only because it's not easy being the ugly duckling in the family.
You look like a drowned rat.
Come on, I'll race you.
Get going.
First time in weeks I've heard Bobby laugh.
She is my sister, J.
R.
I don't want you to use her as a pawn in one of your silly little games.
It's a little bit early in the day for you to start imagining things, isn't it? You haven't started drinking already, have you? Come on, get out.
Out.
Here, let me help you.
Thanks, Bobby.
She's not too bad.
I only beat her by a lap.
Not too bad at all.
Kristin always has been exceptional at sports, J.
R.
Really? Maybe if we put you in training, you might be able to beat him after all.
Say, what are your plans for the day? I haven't decided yet.
I think if you play your cards right you might be able to talk Bobby into driving you into Dallas.
A lot of really nice architecture there.
Everyone's certainly up early this morning.
Morning, J.
R.
Enjoying yourself, Kristin? Sure looks like it.
I'm having a wonderful time.
It's the most beautiful place I've ever seen.
I never want to leave.
You better get something dry on.
Let's eat, J.
R.
Miss Ellie and I have a meeting at the Daughters of the Alamo at Marilee Stone's today.
I'm really sorry, Kristin.
I was hoping we could spend that time together.
It's all right.
I'll find some way to entertain myself.
Kristin I don't know how to ask you this exactly.
You don't have to be polite.
Just try it straight out.
Are you interested in Bobby? Why do you ask that? Well, I'm not a fool.
I can see the way you look at him.
But you're wasting your time, Kristin, because he's in love with Pamela.
Are you worried that I might get into your social limelight? You are my sister.
I keep telling you, Sue Ellen I know exactly what I'm going to do with my life and being hurt is just not part of the plan.
Bobby? - Did J.
R.
leave yet? - Couple of minutes ago.
Why? - Oh, damn.
- What's the matter? Your mom and Sue Ellen went to a meeting, and Lucy's in school.
I thought I could hitch a ride with J.
R.
into Dallas.
See some buildings, or maybe take a bus to Ft.
Worth and go to the museum.
- Come on.
Get in.
- Oh, thanks.
I really didn't want to spend the day here by myself.
- You sure you're not gonna be bored? - Bored? Of course not.
- I do this whenever I can.
- You do? Oh, sure.
The Kimbell Museum is really beautiful, isn't it? I mean, I'm a great fan of Louis Khan and I.
M.
Pei.
Have you seen the new wing at the National Gallery yet? So you're really interested in architecture? Absolutely.
I've always been interested.
In fact, I'm gonna start Southern Cal in the fall if I don't find a husband first.
My mother thinks that studying architecture is a waste of time.
She thinks that I should get married and live happily ever after, like Sue Ellen.
And you don't want to get married.
No, of course I want to get married, but Depending on the man, of course.
I mean I don't want to settle for just anyone.
Well, I don't think you're gonna have to settle for just anyone.
- You're sure this is okay? - It's just fine.
Get to the office by 5, you'll find someone to take you home.
Okay.
Don't forget you promised to show me the plans for that building.
When I have time.
The final installment.
A cashier's check for $ 10,000.
That's fast work, Cliff.
If you don't mind my asking where'd you get it? - My sister Pamela.
- She lent it to my daddy.
- Pamela? You're using Ewing money to get the Ewings.
I gotta hand it to you, boy.
- You sure did grow up devious.
- No.
That's just a recent development.
- You want to sign these? - Do I want to sign them? - Yes? - Seth Stone calling you.
Put him on.
Hello.
J.
R.
, I think I got to the bottom of the trouble we've been having with Kessel.
- Yeah? - You're not gonna like this, J.
R.
It seems your sister-in-law Pamela 's come up with the money Kessel needed.
Note on the irrigation of section 20 of Southfork: Purchase 14 gross of galvanized What can I do for you, J.
R.
? I just had a very interesting conversation with Seth Stone.
About the Kessel lease? He's come up with the money to meet his mortgage payment.
And then some.
And he won't settle unless we agree to pay him 25% royalties.
- Well, what'd you want to pay? - Fifteen.
That's too low.
No wonder he wouldn't sell.
I know, but he would've had to if he hadn't come up with the cash.
Interesting thing is, know where he got the money? Why are you talking to me? I'm out of Ewing Oil.
- It came from Pamela Barnes Ewing.
- What are you talking about? A cashier's check in the amount of $ 10,000 drawn from your joint checking account.
She didn't know Ewing Oil was involved.
Oh, come on, Bobby, hand me another one.
Cliff asked her for money so that Digger could buy into an oil field.
- She didn't know Ewings were after it.
- You knew about it? I knew she wanted to give the money to Digger.
You have any idea how much your wife is costing us? - Come on, J.
R.
- It could be millions of dollars.
We can't even begin drilling until we get that lease.
I know.
- I'll take care of it.
- Well, do that.
And fast, because we need that lease right now, I tell you! - Where's Cliff? - I told you he wasn't in, Mr.
Ewing.
I'm not expecting him for the rest of the afternoon.
When he gets back, tell him I want to talk to him.
Yes, sir.
- Excuse me.
Is Bobby Ewing here? - No, I'm sorry.
He's left for the day.
Say, Kristin.
What on earth are you doing here, darling? I hope I'm not too late for a ride home.
Bobby said I wouldn't be if I got here by 5.
Well, Bobby's not here right now, but I'd be delighted to drive you home myself.
Come on in my office.
Just let me get a few things cleaned up here, and I'll just be a minute.
You know, you've had a remarkable effect on my brother.
I have? Oh, yeah.
He was more cheerful this morning than I've seen him in weeks.
Well, I don't think you can hold me responsible for that.
But I do.
I definitely do.
He hasn't wanted to admit it, but his marriage is over.
It's just flat finished.
And I think that today he finally accepted that fact.
Pamela! Hi.
- You know that money you gave Digger? - Well, Bobby, he'll pay you back.
That's not the problem.
Cliff used that money to stop a Ewing project.
What? Kessel's farm is part of the Palo Seco field.
Ewing's been trying to tie up the leases on that field for over two years.
Kessel was the last holdout.
Without his lease, we don't drill and it costs us millions.
Bobby, I didn't know.
I know Cliff doesn't know.
He knows how I feel about you.
- He wouldn't do anything to hurt you.
- He knew, Pamela.
There's no way he couldn't have known.
As head of OLM, he had to see the reports.
- He's been Kessel's lawyer for years! - Cliff wouldn't do that to me.
What is it about you, Pamela? You think my family's capable of any kind of double-dealing, that I am too.
And yet your precious brother, he's capable of no wrong.
- Right? - That's not what I said.
It's time you faced up to some facts.
Nobody is perfect.
Not me, and not your brother.
It's time you grew up, Pamela.
I did go over to see Cliff Barnes, and he wasn't in.
We can nail him on this.
Conflict of interest.
You don't have any hard proof.
Kessel won't talk.
He and Digger go way back.
There's always my esteemed sister-in-law.
I wouldn't ask her to turn in her brother.
She wouldn't do it.
- Betraying you's just fine? - How many times I gotta tell you she didn't know Ewing Oil was after that land.
Barnes must be enjoying this, using our money to sabotage one of our projects.
I tell you, I gotta admire it.
Damn it, knock it off, both of you! Bobby, it seems if your wife had stayed out of this, we'd all been better off.
But that's beside the point.
The point is, I want that land.
We need it.
I want to know what you intend to do to go about getting it, J.
R.
- Well, I'll go talk to him.
- Hell, you been talking to him for months.
Every time you go near him, he ups his demands another point.
Daddy, I'll talk to him.
I know it's Ewing Oil business and I bowed out but it seems Pamela and I are dragged right back in it.
I'll talk to Kessel and Cliff.
I'll see if I can work it out.
We haven't got a lot of time to waste, Bobby.
I know, sir.
Okay, give it a try.
But you fail we'll do whatever we have to.
- Do you understand? - Yes, sir.
- Hello.
- Did I wake you? No.
I wasn't sleeping.
I just wanted to tell you that I tried to see Cliff, but I couldn't find him.
He probably knew you and I were looking for him.
Bobby, you've got to give him a chance to explain.
Oh, I'll give him a chance, honey.
Just better be a good explanation.
He's causing a lot of trouble and it's trouble we don't need.
Bobby, can we have lunch together tomorrow? - No.
- Please, Bobby.
I can't bear it when we part the way we did today.
Look, Pamela, what's the sense? As long as you think Cliff is Sir Galahad and the Ewings are the forces of evil there's no sense in talking.
I'm sorry, but there's some things I can't stand.
All right, so you want to hurt Ewing Oil.
Fine.
I can't say as I blame you.
But you can find a better way to do it.
I want you to tell Kessel to settle.
I've got nothing to do with Kessel.
And if my sister wants to loan my daddy the money, I got nothing to do with it.
I'm not here on a conflict-of-interest charge.
I'm here because of the trouble you're causing in my life! And in Pamela's life! Our marriage has enough problems without you adding to them.
The thought of you and my sister getting a divorce doesn't exactly break my heart.
I never wanted her to marry you to begin with.
Come on, Cliff, I thought we came a long way past that.
You know, I've got nothing against you personally, Bobby.
I guess I even like you.
But you are a Ewing.
And to date, you Ewings have cost me an election.
You've tried to saddle me with a trumped-up murder charge.
So right now, my sole purpose is to cause you as much trouble as I can even to ruin you.
And I'll do anything and use anybody to do it.
- Including your sister! - Including my sister! I want her out of that family.
I want her back on the right side of the tracks, where she belongs.
My brother has been waiting for the chance to tear you apart.
And so far, I've been running interference for you.
Now, if you don't leave my marriage alone I'm not only gonna stop doing that but I might even lend him a hand.
Hi, Bobby.
Hi, Kristin.
I wouldn't waste my time if I were you.
- What? - Bobby doesn't fool around.
If I were looking for fun, I'd stick to J.
R.
He's ready for anything.
If I knew what you were talking about, I'm sure I wouldn't like it.
Bobby? Bobby, are you here? - Bobby? - Yeah.
Hi.
I just saw you drive up.
Everybody's gone out except for Lucy and she's so busy sunbathing, I can't get her to do anything.
I thought that you might want to go play some tennis.
I'd like to, but I can't.
I have business.
I just came in to change my clothes.
Okay.
That's all right.
Doesn't matter.
All right, look.
You get your racket and you put it in the car and you tag along with me.
If I get done with my business, we'll play a set.
Great.
I'll get my stuff, and I'll meet you in the car.
- Just have to go a little easy on me.
- Okay.
Are you as good at playing tennis as you are backgammon? - Almost as good.
- What else are you good at? Lots of stuff.
It's my mama's idea of geisha training.
I'm supposed to be good, but not too good at anything that could possibly interest a man.
Well, almost anything.
There is one thing that I'm not supposed to know anything about.
Come on, Mr.
Kessel, you've gotta be reasonable too.
Your brother comes out here and thinks he'll get his own way just by asking like God Almighty.
- I agree, the Ewing offer's too low.
- You're damn right it's too low.
But what you're asking isn't exactly fair, is it? This here land is worth real money.
Look, Mr.
Kessel, you can hold out one, maybe two months cost Ewing Oil a bundle of money.
But you're not gonna gain by it.
You'll go into arbitration, and the OLM will negotiate the settlement.
Cliff Barnes or no Cliff Barnes, you'll get the going rate.
That's 19, maybe 20 percent, tops.
Now, what if I offer you 21 percent right now? - 25 is what I want.
Twenty-one percent, Mr.
Kessel.
That's one point more than you'll get by waiting.
- I just don't know.
- Okay.
Okay, you think about it.
You give me a call.
Here's my card.
Remember, you'll only lose by waiting.
You have a good day, Mr.
Kessel.
Thank you for your time.
- What do you think he'll do? - I think he'll agree.
Let's go play tennis.
Well.
You have a good day? Even better than I expected.
Sounds like you're making progress.
Of course, it's not surprising, is it? Pretty girl like you is hard to resist, you know.
Bobby.
Excuse me, won't you, both of you? I promised I'd call Mama.
What the hell's going on, J.
R.
? - Nothing.
- Well, I know what I saw.
You're overreacting a little bit, aren't you? J.
R.
, she's a kid.
Not to mention your own wife's sister.
Bob, you sure these are not your ideas you're trying to attribute to me? Come on, J.
R.
, I think of Kristin the way I do Lucy.
Of course, I couldn't blame you.
Man's wife starts acting up the way yours has can't hold it against him for seeking solace elsewhere.
Of course, Kristin is a very special girl.
Very special.
Dad, that royalty's just too high.
Now, I can talk to him.
I can get him down.
Kessel won't do it.
- I know his type, and he won't.
- Come on, Bob.
I think Bobby's right, J.
R.
If we go to arbitration, we'll have to pay 20.
- It's worth the extra point to save time.
- All right, all right.
It's up to you.
- Bring him in, Bobby.
- Okay.
Send in Mr.
Kessel, please.
Dad, if you'd just give me a couple of more day All right.
Mr.
Kessel.
Thank you for coming down.
Everything is just like we talked about it.
- You remember my father.
- Kessel.
Yeah.
Of course, you know J.
R.
Mr.
Kessel.
I have the producer's form filled out, just like we discussed on the phone this morning.
If you'll just sign it, please? Appears okay to me.
And here's your copy.
Mr.
Kessel, you're a wealthy man.
J.
R.
? You know something? I'd have settled for less money if you hadn't tried to railroad me.
Well, it didn't seem like there was much point in holding out any longer.
I told you months ago the longer J.
R.
Ewing squirmed, the better I'd like it.
- Hi, Pam.
- You knew the Ewings wanted that land.
Wally, would you excuse us? I think my sister and I had better talk.
Sure, sure.
So long, Cliff.
See you, Pam.
How could you do this to me, Cliff? Pam, you really shouldn't walk into rooms unexpectedly.
May learn something you don't wanna know.
I wouldn't have walked in if you had returned my calls.
- You've been avoiding me.
- No.
I've been busy.
- Busy destroying my marriage.
- Only partially.
Don't get flip.
I'm not in the mood.
Do you want to tell me what you're upset about? You extort $ 10,000 from me by totally misrepresenting the facts.
You make trouble for me and Bobby and his family and you want to know why I'm upset? I feel like a fool.
Bobby tried to tell me, and I wouldn't believe him.
You know, if you're so concerned about your marriage why are you living in a hotel? - Why aren't you home with your husband? - You know the answer to that.
You have to choose.
You're either a Ewing or a Barnes, but you have to choose.
That's right.
I have to decide.
You don't get to do it for me.
Okay, I admit, I set you up.
I wanted to knock you off that fence you're sitting on because I want you on my side.
Lately, your side doesn't look any more attractive to me than the Ewing side does.
In fact, I can't tell the difference anymore.
Bobby? Hello, J.
R.
You keep skipping dinner, you're gonna get people mighty worried around here.
I had some things to do in town, that's all.
Obviously, not with your wife.
She's been calling all night trying to get a hold of you.
Hello? Hi.
It's me.
I'm sorry I took so long to call.
I just got in.
That's all right.
I was waiting.
Bobby, I saw Cliff today.
- And? - He lied to me.
He knew all along.
- I'm so sorry I didn't believe you.
- Well, how does that make you feel? I don't know.
I can't help thinking that if my brother's a rat it's your brother who turned him into one.
- Pamela, I don't understand you.
- I really don't.
- I'm not sure I do either.
I'm sure we both need some sleep.
Good night, sweetheart.
Kristin.
You awake? Bobby's home.
I hope I'm not disturbing you.
I couldn't sleep.
I wanted a book.
No, you're not disturbing me.
Come on in.
Bobby, what's the matter? - You look terrible.
- Nothing.
Everything's fine.
Is it the Kessel deal? Did it fall through? No, Kristin, it's not the Kessel deal.
You look so unhappy.
I'm sorry, Kristin.
I shouldn't have done that.
You didn't do anything.
I did it.
I like you.
I like you too.
But that's not the issue, is it? Then what is it? We're at a turning point in our relationship.
- Up till now, it's just been a friendship.
- And after now? Well, that's up to you.
Friendship is all I have to offer.
It's not enough, Bobby.
Not for me.
Well, you were certainly worth a try.
Thanks.
I told you so.
What are you talking about? All I wanted was a glass of milk.
Instead, I got a love scene.
I heard the whole thing.
And what do you intend to do about it? Nothing.
But there's just no room around here for you, Kristin.
What difference does it make to you? It makes plenty of difference.
You get in my way.
Why don't you just go someplace that you have a chance? Stick around this family, you're just gonna end up big loser.
What are you doing here? There was a lot of coming and going, and I just thought I'd come in and see what was going on.
You've been with Bobby.
Yes.
And what happened? - Well, I'm here, aren't I, alone? - Are you all right? Yes.
I think it's best if you go to Santa Fe tomorrow, don't you? I have a feeling Mama might be a little lonely.
- What's the matter, sugar? Can't sleep? - I'll sleep all right.
Just like a baby.
Knowing that you've had a few disappointing days.
What? What are you talking about? First, Bobby getting that lease signed by Kessel.
Kristin leaving for Santa Fe tomorrow.
Things just haven't gone the way you planned, have they? She's leaving? Unlike some people I know, she knows when to leave a losing game.
I'm glad you called me.
I really didn't think you'd see me again.
And if I wouldn't? Would that really make a difference? Would you come home? My finding out what Cliff has turned into should've made a difference, but it didn't.
Now I don't want to be a Barnes or a Ewing.
I love you, Pamela.
And I want you.
Does that make a difference? Of course it makes a difference.
But not enough.
Bobby, if we could go someplace tomorrow just the two of us, and start over again I'd go anyplace in the world with you.
Except Southfork.
I can't.
Don't you see, Pamela? If we run away, they'll have won both of them, Cliff and J.
R.
I don't want to go through life knowing that I let them whip me.
I'd like to tell you that I could wait forever for you to make up your mind.
Life's not like that.
People change.
Too many things happen.
Decide, Pamela.
Decide soon.
