Dallas s03e11 Episode Script

- How's the baby? - He's well.
Have a good day, Mr.
Barnes.
- Have you decided to run again? - But if I do, and I could win then I could have Sue Ellen.
She'd leave J.
R.
in a minute.
- You think he feels anything for the boy? - All he wants is what J.
R.
Ewing has: Me and my son.
And he'll do anything to get us.
You lied, Bobby.
You lied to me.
- I lied about what? - About Ewing Oil going broke.
Where's the money coming from? - I don't like people checking up on me.
- I'm gonna find out what's going on.
That's right, the Golden Horseshoe restaurant.
Now, be sure and be there by 10: 15.
You wouldn't wanna miss it.
Okay, see you then.
What time will the party be over? Well, if everything goes according to plans, then 10: 17.
Then I can expect you tonight? Nope.
I'm afraid not, darling.
Tonight's family night.
I'll take a rain check.
To the man who founded Ewing Enterprises.
- Hear, hear.
- Congratulations.
- And to a hell of a father.
- I'll drink to that.
Happy birthday, Jock.
Thank you, Ellie.
Thank you, Bobby, J.
R.
, for throwing this party for me and I wanna thank y'all for the beautiful gift that you gave me too.
You know, I look down and see you all sitting here, I know that I must've done something right in my life.
I'm proud of this family, and I hope in the future we can just have a whole bundle of grandchildren.
I hate to interrupt.
I've been wanting to explain.
- It's a private party, Beam.
- I'm still employed by Smithfield-Bennett.
Your lawyers.
I don't want any hard feelings.
This is a private party.
Your presence is not appreciated at this table.
What happened at the rodeo was a misunderstanding.
I suppose that Barnes for Congress button is a misunderstanding too.
My political beliefs are my own business, J.
R.
Business is a pretty good word for it.
How much is Barnes paying you for your loyalty? Plenty, I'll bet.
I gave him a fortune, I couldn't get it.
Too bad you never learned you can't buy loyalty, J.
R.
You have to inspire it.
You couldn't inspire a dog to sit up and beg.
Get out of here before I have you thrown out.
This is a public restaurant.
You don't own it.
Now, knock it off! It's my birthday.
I'm sorry about that, Dad.
Let's go home.
- Miss Ellie.
- Look at all this stuff.
Here.
What was that all about? Something that started a few weeks ago.
Nothing to worry about.
- Hi, Lucy.
- Hi there, Alan.
- I just wanted - Lucy.
Family's waiting.
I want you to keep away from him.
Well, as usual, Miss Ellie you were the prettiest gal in the room tonight.
- Here, let me help you with that.
- I can do it.
You don't have to.
You got me to wait on you.
I said, I can do it.
You You remember when we first got married used to bring a bottle of wine up to the room and spend most of the night talking and carrying on? I miss you, Ellie.
I miss the way we were.
Ellie.
Ellie.
Morning, Bobby.
That was quite a show you put on at dinner last night.
Yeah, I thought it worked.
You think Cliff is dumb enough to fall for it? Well, he fell for that rodeo setup, didn't he? No, he's not only willing, he's anxious to believe that Beam is on his side.
He'll believe anything that'll help him get what he wants.
Let's have a little breakfast.
Just coffee, Raoul.
Well, looks like we made the gossip column.
You mean that scene at the restaurant last night? Let me see.
It says Alan Beam would've wiped you out if Granddaddy hadn't stopped him.
It doesn't say anything like that.
It says, "The timely intervention of Jock Ewing saved the patrons of the Golden Horseshoe from witnessing the restaurant laid waste during a brawl between J.
R.
Ewing and Smithfield & Bennett attorney Alan Beam.
" Morning, darling.
You're dressed and up early this morning.
Going to see the lucky Dr.
Elby again? I see him, as you very well know, three times a week.
Three times.
Is that all? Dr.
Elby is Sue Ellen's new medical charity to which she contributes rather lavishly, I might add.
Whatever I give him, he earns.
Just as you do, J.
R.
You could try to be a little more understanding, you know.
You may like her telling Ewing secrets to strangers but I don't.
Here you go, Mr.
Beam.
Thanks, Jimmy.
- There, you keep the change.
- Thanks, Mr.
Beam.
Say, Jimmy, you wanna sign up for Mr.
Barnes? - What do I have to do? - Sign your name and address right here.
- That's all? - That's all.
Sure.
I'll sign up.
Attaboy.
- There.
- Thanks.
It was nothing.
Lucy.
What are you doing here? I came to make a contribution to Cliff's campaign.
That's a lot of money.
Are you sure? I'm sure.
Well, thank you.
Thank you very much.
Please sit down.
Oh, thank you.
This is a surprise.
I don't think J.
R.
would approve.
Are you planning on telling him? Your uncle and I rarely speak, and never without fighting.
Then we have a lot in common.
Listen, can I get you something? Coffee? No, thanks.
I'm on my way to school.
I just wanted to get another look at the man who's giving J.
R.
so much trouble.
Well, you could take a good, long look over lunch.
I don't stop eating at my desk, I'm gonna cause my stomach permanent damage.
Oh, I can't.
I've got cheerleading practice.
- Well, I guess it'll just have to be dinner.
- Great.
If my grandfather will let me stay out.
He grounded me for two weeks because I got three speeding tickets.
The last one, the cops brought me home.
Call me at home around 6.
I'm pretty good at handling my grandfather.
I'll bet you are.
I'll expect your call.
He makes me so mad.
He calls you my new medical charity.
You don't mind if I tell you that, do you? Do you feel our therapy is working? You mean, besides saving my life? You feel I've saved your life? You've helped show me that I'm a person.
Not just Mrs.
J.
R.
Ewing.
Why do I stay there, anyway? J.
R.
and I hardly talk anymore and I'm practically a stranger to the baby.
Poor little thing.
But, you know, every time I look at him I think about Cliff and J.
R.
And I remember how they used me.
I shouldn't take it out on the baby.
After all, he is mine.
And I have all these incredible feelings for him, but I can't show him.
And I really do care about Dusty.
But I can't show him either.
Why? You have to learn how to trust all over again, Sue Ellen.
That takes time and work.
It's an indication of the grassroots support you have.
Jimmy Monroe.
Lives in the ghetto miles from here, works hard for every dollar yet he walked all the way to headquarters to sign up.
Roberto Mendez, $ 15.
Jesus Alvarez, $ 10.
You're doing a good job.
I could really get down to work if you'd declare your candidacy.
I know, I know.
But I really have to be sure before I quit the OLM because last time I ran for office - You were caught unawares.
But this time, you'll have your battle plan prepared.
A woman I love very much died during an illegal abortion.
That just doesn't go away.
No, it doesn't.
But don't underestimate the good sense of the voters.
They won't hold you responsible for that.
Believe me, Cliff, you'll never have another chance like this.
I'll make a decision when I'm ready, and not before.
- You'll have to soon.
- I know, I know.
Soon.
Oh, I see you made the newspaper.
I'm sorry about that.
If you think my actions last night reflect badly on your campaign I'm willing to bow out.
- No, that won't be necessary.
It's no disgrace to do battle with J.
R.
Keep up the good work.
Don't you worry, I will.
Alan Beam.
Yes.
- Hello, Alan.
What can I do for you? - For starters, I need more money.
For what it's cost, I could've had Barnes elected king of the Holy Roman Empire.
It all takes money, J.
R.
Well, you said it yourself.
You gotta spend some to make it.
You'll get more when I see results of the money I've spent.
Oh, don't worry.
I'm putting the pressure on.
He'll announce soon.
Well, for all our sakes, I hope he does.
- Did he read the paper? - Stroke of genius.
He fell for it the way you said he would.
He trusts me like I was his blood brother.
Yeah, I told you it'd pay off.
It certainly did, J.
R.
It certainly did.
- I wish you'd come with me.
- You know I can't do that, Bobby.
We haven't been anywhere together in a long time.
It'd do us good.
It seems like we haven't laughed in weeks now.
If you want to hear me laugh, you'll have to take me someplace other than Austin.
Watching you destroy Cliff is not my idea of a good time.
- Look, you think I enjoy it? - Then stop it.
I would, if Cliff would give me half a chance.
I've gotta convince the legislature to throw him out of office or disband the OLM.
I can't let him ruin my family, honey.
Not even for you.
The only person I see being ruined is my brother.
That's because you don't understand how desperate the situation really is.
Your brother is using his position as a weapon against my family.
He stopped us from drilling new wells, he closed most of our old ones.
All our capital is tied up in leases and machinery we can't even use.
Your brother's gotta be stopped, one way or another.
Cliff says the same thing about the Ewings, that they've got to be stopped.
What am I supposed to do? I won't help either one of you destroy the other.
If Cliff weren't taking money to let other oil companies drill I couldn't touch him.
- You don't know that for sure.
I don't have admissible evidence, no.
Even if he is, it doesn't make any difference.
He's my brother, and I won't betray him.
Anyway, this may all be over soon.
Cliff is thinking about resigning and running for Congress.
Now, honey, don't set your heart on becoming a congressman's sister.
He doesn't stand a chance.
These papers look fine to me.
I can't find anything wrong.
I don't know, J.
R.
I still think you should consider letting that lease go.
After all, that is a sizable bonus you're agreeing to pay.
I'll find the money.
There is oil on that farm, Harve.
Besides, we'll be able to drill sooner than you think.
Not while Cliff Barnes runs the OLM, you won't.
You just let me worry about Cliff Barnes.
I'm sorry, J.
R.
, but I'm afraid it's my worry too.
I don't want you and your daddy holding Beam's association with Barnes against our legal firm.
We've been doing business for too many years to allow that to happen.
Now, I have talked to the other partners and we are prepared to let Alan Beam go.
Well, thank you, Harve, I appreciate that.
I surely do.
And I know how highly you think of Beam.
But how would it look if word got around that we had a man fired because of his political beliefs? Well, that's only part of it, J.
R.
He embarrassed a valued client in a public restaurant.
I think you're overreacting just a little bit, and I appreciate your concern but, I wouldn't want it said that I had someone else fight my battles for me.
I'll take care of Beam.
Besides I respect a man with a little spunk.
We've been through the OLM charter a dozen times.
It's pretty specific.
So I have to resign before I can declare my candidacy? According to every legal opinion we've had.
You stand still or you take off and burn your bridges behind you.
- What's the scuttlebutt from Austin? - Not good, Cliff.
Every time Bobby Ewing makes a trip, another 10 legislators line up behind him.
See, I don't like that.
I feel like I'm backing myself into a corner.
It's a corner with a door.
You resign and run for Congress.
With the support you got, I don't know why you're even hesitating.
Sue Ellen.
Mr.
Barnes.
My sister tells me that you've recovered from your accident.
How's the baby? He's well.
He's beautiful.
Have a good day, Mr.
Barnes.
I've always thought he was such an attractive man.
If you like the type.
Never mind where I'm going, I'll explain it later.
Just do what I said.
But I'm no good at this kind of thing, Lucy.
Oh, don't let me down, Muriel.
I need you.
Just call back in 10 minutes and tell Granddaddy exactly what I told you.
Wait.
Here he comes.
Don 't hang up.
We're gonna do it right now.
I don't know how I let you talk me into these things.
Oh, I'm sorry, Muriel, but I just can't.
I'd really like to help you out, but you know how Granddaddy is.
Oh, no, Muriel, there's just no point in asking my granddaddy.
Okay, okay, hold on.
- Muriel wants to ask you something.
- Ask me what? Well, I told her it was no use, but Now, Muriel, what can I do for you, sweetheart? I just asked Lucy if she could come over tonight and help me study for our history test tomorrow.
I'm having an awful time.
But she said you wouldn 't let her because of those speeding tickets.
Well, now, Lucy's got to learn that you just can't I know, sir, and I don't like to insist but I'll fail that test without her.
Her notes are always much better than mine.
Just this once, Mr.
Ewing, please? Yeah, just this once.
- Thank you.
- Okay.
All right, you can go, but you drive carefully, you hear? Oh, I will.
I promise.
- Alan Beam.
- Hi.
- It's me, Lucy.
- Oh, Lucy.
Hello.
I can get away tonight.
- Where should I meet you? - Oh, that's great.
What about 8:00 at Fernando 's? Oh, I know where that is.
Eight o'clock? See you then.
I can 't wait to watch you handle me like you do your granddaddy.
- Bye-bye.
- Bye.
Hi You always greet your guests this way or did I do something special to deserve it? I'm cooking dinner.
We can eat as soon as Digger gets here.
There, help yourself to some wine.
That's a new bottle.
Thank you.
'73 Chateau.
Very nice.
I just bring that out to impress my rich relatives.
Here.
To fame and fortune.
I saw Sue Ellen today.
I bumped into her downtown.
You know, you're right.
She looks wonderful.
And she says the baby's doing fine too.
Oh, he is.
There's no change.
He still seems to be a very healthy baby.
Cliff, have you decided to run again? No, not yet.
But if I do, and I could win, then I could have Sue Ellen back.
She'd leave J.
R.
in a minute.
If that's what you're counting on, don't.
I just have to prove to her that I'm stronger than he is and that he can't break me, no matter what.
She doesn't love you.
You don't understand.
I understand that you're fooling yourself.
- Whatever she felt for you is over with.
- It's not true.
Has she given you any sign whatsoever that she still cares about you? Getting elected isn't easy.
You remember what happened last time? I'd hate to see you resign your job for some fantasy you can't get out of your head.
And be disappointed again.
Is Bobby worried that I might run? Did he send you over here tonight to try to get me to stay at the OLM while he's off lobbying to strip it of its power? - You know better than that.
Where is he tonight? In Austin.
I'm sure Bobby would ease up if you would.
Ease up? No, you can tell him that I'm not gonna ease up.
And if I think I have a half a chance of winning, I'll run for Congress.
And if I'm elected then I'll have the power that'll finish him and his family off for good.
Hey, wait a minute.
I am his family.
What are you talking about, anyway? As head of the OLM, I decide who drills where in Texas.
With a federal position, I'll be able to influence who drills not only in Texas, but anywhere in the world.
What has that got to do with anything? Ewing Oil doesn't plan on drilling overseas.
I have a report that they secretly leased oil fields off the coast of Asia.
If those wells start coming in, they'll be so rich you won't be able to touch them.
But don't foreign leases cost millions of dollars? That's only the beginning.
There's the cost of drilling, not to mention the slush fund for bribing.
Bobby told me that you had all their capital tied up, that they're almost broke.
Sure, he told you that.
How else is he gonna justify what they're trying to do to me? He was lying to you, Pam.
They've spent millions on those leases.
And when I didn't get married, I thought I was gonna die.
But instead I went to college.
I saw more of a future in that.
- You're a delight, you know that? - I've been talking all evening.
- I haven't let you get one word in.
- I've enjoyed every moment.
Have you really? Can't you tell? Wouldn't J.
R.
have a stroke if he could see us right now? Sometimes I get the feeling my main attraction for you is J.
R.
's dislike.
Oh, no.
I just happen to be with the one man who has guts enough to stand up to him.
And that's pretty rare in this town.
I've never been afraid of him because he's never had anything I wanted.
Until now.
But I don't want you ever to get hurt because of me.
If you'll get in trouble, and you'd rather not see me, I'll understand.
No.
They don't have to know, do they? No one has to know.
Be our little secret.
That's my girl.
You're so beautiful.
- Alan? - Let's go home.
See you later, Granddaddy.
Come right home from school.
You're not out of the woods yet, you know.
Okay, I will.
Thank you for last night.
Muriel's sure to pass the test now.
All right.
- Hi, Bobby.
- Hi, cutie.
- You going to school? - Yeah.
See you later.
Drive careful.
- What do you say, Bobby? - Hi, Daddy.
- How's things down in Austin? - Same as usual.
More promises.
People saying they'll do what they can when they can.
But rumors are flying.
There'll be a full-scale investigation of Cliff and the OLM, and pretty soon now.
Well, you're doing a good job, Bob.
You just keep coming at Barnes from the front and leave J.
R.
and me to handle him from the tail.
- I wish you'd reconsider.
We can handle Barnes fair and legal and not get involved in the politics J.
R.
wants us to.
You know, Bobby, there are just some things that you flat-out refuse to understand.
Politics is a Well, it's like ranching.
If you wanna get the job done, you gotta get your hands dirty.
I'm gonna go change my shirt.
I have a 10:30 in Dallas.
I'm glad you hadn't left for work yet.
I missed you.
Was your trip to Austin a success? Did you succeed in ruining Cliff's career? Pamela, we went through all this yesterday.
That was before I knew what I know now.
I trusted you.
You lied, Bobby.
You lied to me.
- I lied about what? - About Ewing Oil going broke.
I didn't lie.
Your brother has got Ewing Oil financially handcuffed.
Then where's the money coming from to buy the foreign oil leases? - The what? - Do you think Cliff doesn't know what you're up to? He knows every move Ewing Oil makes.
And he knows about the fields you've leased off the Asian coast.
He stood there, his hand on my arm and I could feel him wanting me, but it wasn't me he wanted, not me.
It was J.
R.
Ewing's wife.
That's all he's ever wanted.
And the child? Do you think he feels anything for the boy? I don't know.
I really don't know, and I don't think that Cliff knows either.
All he wants is what J.
R.
Ewing has: me and my son.
And he'll do anything to get us.
But he won't succeed because I won't let him succeed.
You're speaking very passionately about someone you say you care nothing about.
Did I say that? Well, it's not true.
I didn't mean that.
I think I hate him.
I think I hate him.
Don't you understand? Okay, thanks anyway.
Bye-bye.
- Connie.
- Who 's next, Bobby? Get me Herb Reynolds Reynolds Equipment and Leasing and Roy Tate, Tidewater.
Yes, sir.
Hello, Herb.
Bobby, how are you? Didn't see you at the game last Sunday.
- Well, I've been awful busy lately.
- Lost $ 20 to your daddy.
Only gave him three points, too.
What'd you call for, son? - Well, it's about some rigs.
- Well, I'm glad to hear that.
Haven't heard from J.
R.
in months.
- Oh, you haven't? - I was beginning to feel neglected.
You got some business we can talk about? Not yet, but I'm checking to see how you'll be set for equipment in a month.
All you have to do is ask for it, you've got it.
Okay, thanks a lot.
Be talking to you soon.
Connie, is that Roy on two? Yes, sir.
- Roy, Bobby.
- How are you, Bobby? Fine, just fine.
Look, I'll tell you why I'm calling.
It's about those rigs.
Well, now, Bobby, just what rigs are you talking about? Come on, now, Roy, the ones you've been discussing with J.
R.
Oh, so you know about that Asian deal, do you? Well, J.
R.
made it sound top-secret.
You know us.
It's a family business.
We don't have secrets from one another.
Of course you don't.
You just tell J.
R.
I've got two rigs on their way from Japan this very minute.
Thanks, Roy.
That's all I wanted to know.
- Hello, Bobby.
- Hi, Kristin.
- Can I help you? - I'm looking for J.
R.
Is he around? No, I'm sorry.
He's in a meeting at the bank.
I don't expect him back today.
Can I give him a message if he calls? No, no.
I'll catch him at home tonight.
Thank you.
That's what you think.
See you at Cheryl's.
I can't go.
I've gotta get home.
But we're planning the party for after next Saturday's game.
I said, I can't go.
I'm still grounded.
Want me to call your granddaddy? Bet he'd let you come if I ask.
I got you out okay last night.
Muriel, would you just leave me alone.
I don't wanna go to Cheryl's.
I don't wanna plan that stupid party.
I just wanna go home.
I don't know what's wrong with you, and I don't care.
I just wish you'd yell at whoever made you mad instead of snapping my head off every chance you get.
So much for the hors d'oeuvres.
Whoever it is will go away.
Don't go anywhere.
I'll be right back.
Don't be too long.
I'll get lonely.
Lucy.
Is something wrong? You liar.
Now, hold on a minute.
It's not what you think.
I thought you were different.
When I saw you stand up to J.
R I thought you were brave and decent.
- I feel like such a fool.
- Honey, what are you talking about? Don't you "honey" me.
I saw you with J.
R.
today.
You're still working for him.
The whole thing, the fight, everything was a setup.
He's bought you just like he buys everyone.
If you'll wait a minute and let me explain Lucy.
Come back.
I can explain.
Who was it? What's the matter? What's going on? It's business.
J.
R.
Ewing, please.
No, no message.
What kind of business do you have with J.
R.
Ewing after that scene the other night? Betty Lou, maybe you should just run on home.
I've kind of got my hands full right now.
Not on your life.
Not until you tell me what happened and what J.
R.
Ewing has to do with it.
Don't forget, when you mess up your life and it seems to me you've been doing that a lot lately you're messing up mine too.
I'm not messing up anything.
I'm onto something really big.
Bigger than I ever dreamed.
Come here.
I think you and I should cool it.
What? For a while, just for a while.
What are you talking about? Lucy Ewing.
Goldilocks.
What's she got to do with anything? She walked into my office and handed herself to me on a golden platter.
So? Think what it would mean for me to marry someone like her.
No more scratching.
No more living from deal to deal.
Just march up that aisle, and when the preacher says, "Do you take?" you say, "I do.
" Well, I I realize this is a corny question but what about me? Oh, this is the chance of a lifetime.
I'm not gonna pass it up.
No one matters to me but you.
You know that.
Just give me a little time.
I can fix it so that both of us can have everything we've ever dreamed of.
- Let me go.
- Don't be crazy.
I love you.
You're rotten, you know that? - Rotten.
- I'll call you in the morning.
Give me 4350.
It's an emergency.
What the hell is that? It's the beeper.
We got it last week, remember? Oh, yeah.
What did I do with that thing? There you go.
Don't you wanna see what it's about? It might be an emergency.
Okay.
J.
R.
Ewing here.
All right, I'll hold.
Thank you, darling.
- Yeah? - J.
R.
, it's Alan Beam.
I'm sorry to disturb you but it may be important.
- It better be.
I ran into your niece.
What's her name, Lucy? - She saw us together this morning.
- What? - How'd that happen? - I'm not sure.
But I got to thinking about it, and it could be serious.
I don't know what she plans to do with the information, maybe nothing but if it gets back to Cliff, it'll blow our whole operation.
Don't worry.
I'll think of something.
I hope so, or everything we've accomplished could be down the tubes.
All right, I'll be in touch.
Well, was it? - What? - An emergency? Oh, no, honey.
Just a little family matter.
Nothing to worry your pretty little head about.
- That's good.
- Thank you.
I ordered dinner from the same place.
Did you? Get it on the table, huh? Damn.
Bobby I can't stand it.
Talk to me.
What's the use if you don't believe anything I tell you? I want to.
I'll try.
Bobby, please, just tell me the truth, whatever it is and I'll believe you.
The truth is I don't know what's going on.
I don't understand where the money for those leases came from.
I don't know.
But I intend to find out.
That's the truth.
Do you believe it? Hello, J.
R.
I'll see you outside, honey.
- Good morning, Bob.
- I waited up for you last night.
- You didn't show up.
- I had a meeting that just dragged on and on.
- You gonna be in the office early? - Yeah, I'll be there all day.
I'll talk to you first thing.
Well, it sounds important.
Yeah.
Drive carefully, Lucy.
I will, Grandma.
Yeah, Harve, you know, it's just one of those things.
Hang on a minute, would you? Good morning.
- Good morning.
- Well, Harve about Alan Beam.
Yeah.
Well, I had a meeting with him yesterday.
No, no, no.
I was good as gold.
I was trying to talk sense into that fool's head.
He just wouldn't listen to reason.
No, no.
He's in Barnes' camp now.
He's gonna stay there.
As much as I hate to say this, you're gonna have to fire him.
That's right, fire him.
Well.
Good morning.
- Where's Connie? - She's out this morning.
Is that right? Good morning.
Any messages? Yes, Bobby says to remind you that he wants to see you.
Oh, yeah.
Well, I guess I better see what that little rascal has to say.
Hold my calls, will you? Dump all that stuff in my office.
Good morning, Bobby.
Well, what can I do for you? I understand Ewing Oil's buying oil leases in Asia.
Well, how'd you find out about that? - That's not important.
- Yes, it is.
Important to me.
No, the point is that there's no record of it in the company books.
Now, I didn't know about it and I'm sure that Daddy doesn't know about it either.
Well, Bob, I didn't wanna worry Daddy, with Mama sick and all.
It's a risky venture.
You know, oil business is never very certain.
Exactly.
You know as well as I do we can't afford right now to drill overseas.
Can't afford not to.
Your brother-in-law has us tied up in Texas but he can't touch us overseas, and there's all that oil waiting.
- And what if the wells come up dry? - I take the risk I take the responsibility.
I'm trying to save the company for all of us, Bob.
Where's the money coming from? Leverage, loans.
Leverage? With what? Who's lending us money? It's a complicated financial deal.
I don't have all those details in my head.
Well, just give me a big, broad outline, then.
I've been able to raise the money.
How's that for a broad outline? Come on, J.
R.
Just how close to broke are we? We had some very serious financial setbacks.
You know why.
Where the hell's the money coming from? I told you, I raised it.
Now, get off my back.
- I don't like people checking up on me.
- I'm gonna find out what's going on.
- Lucy.
- Alan.
I wanted to explain about yesterday, l No, I'm sorry.
It was my fault for jumping to conclusions like that.
- Well, frankly, I respect you for it.
- You do? Of course.
- How'd you find me here, anyway? - Well, it wasn't easy but the dean's secretary was finally persuaded to tell me where you were.
You went to all that trouble just for me? For you, nothing is too much trouble.
Why don't we go somewhere we can talk.
- Sure.
- Come on.
Open your mouth.
Oh, no, you don't.
When a woman offers a man an apple it's time to watch out.
Are you afraid I'm gonna lead you into sin? Aren't you? Alan I've been meaning to ask you something.
- You'll say it's none of my business.
- Ask me anything.
My life's an open book for you now.
Well, that girl, the one I saw you with at the restaurant that night Oh, she's no one for you to even think about.
No one matters to me now but you.
Nothing matters more to me than keeping you in my life as long as I can.
