Dallas s03e13 Episode Script
188149 - Mother of the Year
But now I'm gonna sell those leases for 75 cents on the dollar.
- You can't do this.
You just can't.
- Sit down and shut up.
Those Asian wells are gonna come through.
I wanna tell you boys that we don't shoot craps with Southfork.
Is that plain? What you're really doing is using that baby as a weapon so you can keep the Ewing name, because that's all you care about.
You're a parasite.
You're incapable of loving.
All you can do is use.
- I'm still your brother.
- As far as I'm concerned I'm an only child.
Mrs.
Ewing, did you change him? You shouldn't be doing that.
It's all right.
I'm finished.
Why don't you go back to bed.
That baby is certainly lucky to have you, Mrs.
Ewing.
Poor little thing, his mother just doesn't seem to care.
Now don't be too hard on her.
She's been through a lot.
It's not natural.
He's almost asleep now.
Why don't you try and get some? - He'll be screaming for breakfast soon.
- Thank you.
Okay, come on.
Come on.
Let's go.
The baby all right? Yes.
He just needed changing.
Mrs.
Reeves still there? Yes.
I suppose Pamela's there too.
Sue Ellen, I'm asking you a question.
Would you be so kind as to answer me? Yes, she was there.
Now, can we discuss this at another time? No, we're gonna discuss it right now.
Now, I wanna know why Pamela always manages to get to little John before you.
What difference does it make? Well, it makes a difference to me and to my mama and daddy too.
They mention it often enough.
Really? And what do they say? They say you don't take any interest in the child.
That is not true.
Of course it's true.
Why am I paying that psychiatrist? The only reason I'm letting you go is so you can pull yourself together and take care of the child.
What do you want, J.
R.
, a miracle cure? Everything takes time.
Sue Ellen, you are an unfit mother.
And you, you are an unfit father and husband but I don't see you going to a doctor to try to improve the situation.
Sue Ellen, the child is your responsibility.
Now I do not want my sister-in-law raising it.
You haven't looked at him since we came home from the hospital.
He has two parents.
What about your responsibilities? Don't think you can get out of this by turning it around.
Your child will grow up not knowing his mother.
I've had enough of this.
I'm very tired.
No, we're gonna get this thing settled, Sue Ellen.
Not now.
We can talk about it in the morning.
I wanna talk to your psychiatrist, that's who I wanna talk to.
- Now, something's gotta be done.
- In the morning, J.
R.
, please.
What's going on? They're gonna wake up the baby.
Yeah, and the whole house from the sounds of it.
Well, what's it about? About you.
J.
R.
's angry that you're always with little John.
I'm not always with the baby.
It's just when he cries, I wanna see that he's all right.
Honey the situation is getting serious, and I think we should talk about it because J.
R.
is right.
About what? You got no business being with that baby all the time.
I'm not always with the baby.
Only Only when? When he needs me.
Honey, if it were up to you to decide that, it'd be 24 hours a day.
Now, he's becoming an obsession with you.
He doesn't have anyone else.
J.
R.
and Sue Ellen won't even touch him.
That still doesn't make it your problem.
I'm just trying to do what's best for baby John.
He's all I care about.
I didn't mean that the way it sounded.
My daddy swore there'd never be any drilling on this land.
So did I.
Well, if I could do anything about it, Miss Ellie, I'd do it.
Whatever needed doing should've been done years ago.
What do you mean? I mean J.
R.
You instilled in him a desire for power and money.
Doesn't seem to care about anything else.
Not even his home.
Well, damn it, Miss Ellie, I didn't tell him to open up this well.
You did that.
There was no choice.
It was either pump oil out of Southfork or lose the ranch to the banks.
Listen.
- I'll help you.
- I can do it.
Let me do it, Ellie.
I'll drop you off at the house, Miss Ellie then head into town for that meeting with Vaughn Leland.
Well, Ray's getting ready to start excavating for his house.
It's not the best piece of land, but Ray will make something out of it.
Hey, Jock! Hey, before we go any further I got a couple things here I wanna show you on these plans.
Now, this wall that we're working on over here on the right that's this one right here, right? Well, it looks to me like - Morning, Kristin.
- Good morning, J.
R.
- Thank you.
- Morning, J.
R.
Coffee's all gone, but there's a fresh pot almost ready.
- J.
R.
, they're all in there.
- Who's all? Bobby, your daddy and Vaughn Leland.
Vaughn Leland? Hello, Bobby.
Good morning.
Dad.
Well, Vaughn, look who's here.
How you doing? I see you're all at it hot and heavy already.
Sit down, J.
R.
I got something to say.
All right, sir.
Now, Leland, my experts tell me that those wells in the Far East will eventually come in.
Now, if Southfork hadn't been used to back up those loans for that Far East drilling I might have been willing to gut it out.
But now I'm gonna sell those leases for 75 cents on the dollar.
- Daddy, you can't do this.
You just can't.
- Sit down and shut up, J.
R.
It's a hell of a deal, Vaughn.
You think you can put together some buyers? Well this is quite a surprise.
We're talking about a lot of money.
Let me see if I can get some kind of a combine together.
I'll get back to you by Friday.
Well, now, you do that.
Daddy, when did you make this decision? This morning when I saw the look on your mother's face as she watched your crew on section 40.
She agreed that we could drill on Southfork, Daddy.
She agreed because she didn't have any other choice.
And I'm gonna do everything I can to stop it, you understand? Daddy, this is something we should sit down and discuss.
Not a damn thing to discuss, Bobby.
Your mama's been through enough.
And I don't want this ranch turned into an oil field.
Those Asian wells are gonna come through.
There's only one thing I'm interested in right now, and that's cash.
We'll get cash.
We just need time, that's all.
Well, we're just about to run out of time, J.
R.
I want cash, and I want it fast.
I want that money before we're forced to pump oil out of section 40, understand? What J.
R.
did, mortgaging Southfork, you know how I feel about that but it's done now.
It's a gamble.
- It's not a gamble.
Listen I've been around this business long enough to know there's no guarantees.
It's a crap shoot.
And I wanna tell you boys that we don't shoot craps with Southfork.
Is that plain? Well if you'll excuse me I guess I'm not needed around here any longer.
Bobby.
Dad.
Connie.
J.
R.
I'm going to the Cattlemen's Club.
When will you be back? I don't know.
Should I get a table for you, Mr.
Ewing? - What say? - Will you be staying to lunch, sir? This is my lunch, George.
Thank you.
J.
R.
Well, hello, Bobby.
You come to audit my bar bill? No, I came here to talk.
I got George to talk to.
Don't I, George? I know what drives you.
I'm sorry I had to be the one to blow the whistle on you.
Bobby, you know I just can't believe you and I have the same mama and daddy.
You're just too damn good to be rich, you know that? If you hadn't mortgaged Southfork, I wouldn't have said anything.
Maybe your gamble would've paid off.
I don't gamble.
Those Asian oil wells are gonna come in.
George.
J.
R.
, the booze isn't gonna solve anything.
I don't need your advice, Bobby.
And I don't understand your sudden concern for my welfare, either.
I'm still your brother.
Bobby, as far as I'm concerned I'm an only child.
I can hardly believe what she was wearing to that formal dinner party.
It's the tackiest thing I'd ever seen.
She's never had any taste and never will.
Have you seen her mother? Did you see that ratty fur she was wearing? Oh, my land.
You will not believe who just walked in the door.
Why, Sue Ellen, it's wonderful to see you again, honey.
Come on in here.
Clara, look who's here.
Well, Sue Ellen, golly, how have you been? And how's that darling little boy of yours? Well, little Johnny's just fine.
He's growing an inch a minute.
Clara's going on a trip.
Did you know that? Ladies, please, I have an important announcement.
I just got word that our speaker, Mr.
Max Hungerford of the Dallas city planning commission can't be here today.
But fortunately, we do have a substitute.
Mr.
Clifford Barnes, former head of the Office of Land Management now running for Congress, has agreed to speak at our luncheon.
He'll be with us soon Are you all right, honey? Well, actually, I'm not feeling very well.
Will you excuse me? - Sue Ellen.
- Excuse me, Cliff.
Sue Ellen, please don't go.
I need to talk to you.
Mrs.
Ewing.
We've gotta get in there.
I'll be there, I'll be there.
Just please give me a minute, please.
Sue Ellen, look, we can't talk here.
Can I meet you after the meeting? - I'm sorry, I've made other plans, Cliff.
- Well, when, tomorrow? I don't wanna see you, Cliff.
Now, let go of me.
- Cliff, they're ready.
- Sue Ellen, I need to talk to you.
Please.
Tomorrow, my place, 3:00.
Cliff, they're ready.
I saw your daddy today, little John.
He wants to see me.
I don't know what to do.
I'm so confused, I don't even know how I feel.
Sue Ellen? Well, I'm glad to see that little discussion we had last night is having some results.
I don't know what you're talking about.
Well, pick him up or change him and feed him, whatever it needs.
Do something.
You're the one who's become the expert on how to be the perfect parent.
You pick him up.
Well, Sue Ellen Barnes took over for Max Hungerford and gave his conservation speech.
- He still thinks it's gonna happen? - Oh, yeah.
"We must preserve everything that is beautiful in our city.
" - You know the one.
- Yeah, yeah.
Well, any pledges or donations or anything like that? Well, not much.
- My wife happen to be there? - I think so.
- Yes, I did see her.
- Yeah.
Cliff wants to start making more radio time.
He's asking for more money.
- Anything left? - Well, a little.
When that's finished, that's it.
Not another penny from me.
We pull the plug on the campaign.
That's it.
I did what I set out to do.
Got Barnes out of the OLM.
That's all I care about.
No more money for Mr.
Barnes.
No more nothing.
- How do you want me to handle it? - Well, just spend what you got.
- The faster the better.
- Then what? Well, that's his problem, isn't it? He wants me to meet him at his place at 3.
His place? Well, it's the only place that we can meet.
We shouldn't be seen together in public.
Am I upsetting some moral code of yours, Dr.
Elby? Why are you concerned with my moral code? You don't think I should meet him, do you? What you're saying is that you don't know if you want to meet him or not.
You're not much help.
Our purpose is to get you to help yourself.
Well, if I don't see him, it'll mean I'm still afraid of him.
I think he's still capable of hurting me.
Are you willing to risk that? Frankly, I don't think I can handle any more pain.
Well, you were willing to take a chance with Dusty.
Was I? It seems to me I let it go only so far.
I kept my feelings under wraps so he wouldn't hurt me either.
I have a few things that I need to say to Mr.
Barnes.
And besides, I don't have anything to lose, do I? Do I have anything to lose? You're the best judge of that.
How about a straight answer? Sue Ellen, there are some things you have to do or decide on your own.
Then how about some plain old advice? Maybe we can talk about your dependence next time.
Psychiatrists.
- Connie.
- J.
R.
Kristin, place an overseas call to Hank Johnson at the drilling site.
- Right away.
- What time is it over there? It's about 2 a.
m.
Good, he's half asleep.
- He won't lie to me.
- J.
R.
, your daddy - Anything I can do to help you? - No, just getting your papers for Leland.
We got a meeting today.
You gotta reconsider, Daddy.
Just ask the banks for another week.
Now, you listen, and you listen good.
This is your mess, and I'm gonna clean it up.
And I'm not asking favors of anybody.
What is it? Hank? Is Daddy still in the office? All right.
What line? Hank.
Hank, what is going on over there? I haven't heard from you for two days.
I don't want excuses, I want information.
I want reports every hour.
I wanna know exactly what's going on over there.
You know damn well I don't trust you.
I don't trust anybody.
Well, I'll tell you what's happening, old buddy.
As of Friday, Ewing Oil does not own those leases anymore and you are gonna be out of a job.
If we don't strike oil by Friday it's all over for all of us.
- Hi, Pam.
- Hi.
- What'd you do, buy out the whole store? - Almost.
They had a sale in the baby department.
I couldn't resist.
You want me to help you with some of this? Well, I left some things outside.
Would you get them? - There's more? Okay.
- Thank you.
Well, what'd they do, have a giveaway down there? - Well, no, they had a sale at the store.
- Good, you needed some new things.
- Well, they really aren't for me.
- Coming through, coming through.
- Where do you want these? - Oh, the nursery.
Okay.
Pam what's going on? Nothing.
I told you.
The store had a sale.
I bought some things for baby John.
I got him a Cowboys sweatshirt, and he'll be able to wear it in a couple of years.
I'm gonna take these upstairs.
Sue Ellen, please come in.
Sit down.
Can I get you a cup of coffee? No, thanks.
Why did you wanna see me, Cliff? Come on, Sue Ellen, please sit down.
I haven't much time.
What do you want, Cliff? Well, I just wanted to see you just to see how you were doing.
- I'm fine.
- And the baby? He's fine.
Any details? I mean, you know, is he walking, talking getting ready to go to college, any marriage plans? What? He's fine.
That's all.
Has he seen a doctor lately? What are you talking about? I don't know, I just thought babies have regular checkups.
Cliff, what are these questions all about? Well, I'm just concerned about my son.
Is there anything unusual about that? Cliff, you don't have to play the loving father.
And you certainly don't have to be concerned about my welfare.
Look, Sue Ellen, come on.
Please tell me what's going on.
I'm fine, the baby is fine, and neither of us can get you to Washington so you can stop wasting your precious time worrying about either one of us.
You have no right to say that.
If I don't, who does? You used me like you used everybody else to get ahead and destroy J.
R.
Ewing, and to hell with anybody else.
- I loved you, Sue Ellen.
- You made love to me.
You never loved anybody but yourself.
You never cared about me.
You used me to get at J.
R.
And when I wanted you and needed you, you left me.
So I used you? Yes, that's what I think.
Men are users.
No, Sue Ellen.
You are the user.
You used J.
R.
to get position and wealth.
And when that started to go sour, then you used me to get back at J.
R because you knew I was the one that could do that.
And then you got your hooks into me.
- Let go of me.
- You're not going anywhere, Mrs.
Ewing.
You're going to listen to me, because it concerns my son.
Because what you are really doing now is using the baby as a weapon so you can keep the Ewing name which you care about because you're a parasite.
You're incapable of loving.
Even your son.
You are wrong.
I love my son.
You can't love anyone.
All you can do is use.
Vaughn, I need a week, that's all.
Just another week.
J.
R.
, I just gave my word to Jock.
Now, I can't go back on it.
Stall him.
Your father? Stall him.
Oh, come on now, J.
R.
Business is business.
These oil leases are a good investment.
We'd be crazy not to move on them.
Vaughn do you remember the Coburn security deal? I'm calling in that marker.
I'm sorry, J.
R.
Some other time.
Things are different now.
I'm taking my orders from Jock.
I took some risks for you.
Believe me, J.
R.
, I would if I could, but I I'm in a spot now.
Your daddy's running this show.
- I can't afford to cross him.
- A week! That's all I'm asking.
I can't, J.
R.
I'm sorry.
Sue Ellen.
Hello, J.
R.
I'd hoped you'd be home earlier.
I didn't think you cared.
I wanna ask you something.
Can we make it another time? I wanna go to bed and get some sleep.
It can't wait.
All right.
I'm listening.
J.
R.
, have I changed? Changed? How changed? Any way.
Any way you can think of.
Well, you still make a very nice appearance.
At times, you're a real pretty woman.
I don't mean physically.
I mean other ways.
Honey, what are you talking about? Changed in other ways, J.
R.
Am l? Am I different with people now? I mean Do I hurt them? Do I use them? What do you mean use them? Use them for my own ends.
Sue Ellen, you haven't changed a bit.
You're exactly the same as when I married you.
I got the mail.
For you.
And I got a card from my little friend Luke in Montana.
Read it to me.
What does he have to say? "Dear Bobby, we've been in Montana for a while, but I haven't had time to write.
Sure is pretty here.
Me and Pa is working with my uncle on the farm.
Pa likes it.
I don't know if I do.
Best thing about it is the horses.
Miss you and Pam and all the folks at the ranch.
Say hello for me.
Luke.
" And a picture of the ugliest bull I ever saw.
You sure miss that boy, don't you? Yeah, I guess I do.
Pam, no.
- I've got to see him.
- Let Mrs.
Reeves handle it.
- I've got to go to him.
- Honey, leave him alone.
Bobby, that's not fair.
I can't stand to hear him cry.
Honey, just let him be.
He's not your baby.
He's the closest I'll ever come to having one.
Why didn't you pick him up? Mrs.
Reeves will be here any minute.
You didn't answer my question.
I asked why you didn't pick him up.
It's not good to pick up a baby every time it cries.
He's not a baby, Sue Ellen.
He's your baby.
I don't know how you can stand to hear him cry.
Pamela, I want you to put little John back in that crib right now.
Why? Because that's Mrs.
Reeves' job, and that's what we're paying her for.
It's no trouble at all.
I really don't mind.
Mrs.
Ewing is here, doctor.
Send her in, please.
Bad day? I'd like to know what I am paying you for.
We have wasted months talking about the past when you should help me with the present.
What do you mean, Sue Ellen? I came here months ago telling you that I wanted to be a good mother to my child.
Months.
And I still can't hold my child.
I can't even relate to him.
And what are you doing about it? Nothing, absolutely nothing.
You're wasting my time and my husband's money.
My life is falling apart.
And we are paying this ungodly sum of money, and nothing has changed.
What happened with Cliff? He said I didn't care about little John.
He said that I couldn't love anyone.
He called me a parasite.
Let's start from the beginning.
Why did he wanna see you? He said he wanted to know how the child was.
Well, that seems normal.
You say he's sure he's the father of your child.
He doesn't care about the baby.
He doesn't care about me.
You don't believe anyone really cares about you, loves you? No.
Not Cliff.
Not J.
R.
I don't think they're capable of that.
And Dusty? I don't know.
He says he loves me.
He may believe that.
I don't know.
I don't even trust him.
Then you're still afraid of being hurt? - Yes.
- Is that the way you want it? I don't have the choice.
All of it is your choice.
I didn't choose to be hurt by Cliff.
I didn't choose to be hurt by J.
R.
You said that Dusty seemed different from Cliff or J.
R.
Maybe he is.
But maybe Maybe I'm just unable to choose the right men.
Sue Ellen if you continue to be afraid perhaps you'll never be able to.
Have I rejected my baby? I'm afraid of him too.
Do you love him? Yes.
I love him very much.
Then show him.
Take a chance.
I don't know if I can.
I'm afraid if I let my guard down, if I let anyone get close to me even the baby, that I'll be hurt.
How can I make sure that I won't be? You can't be sure, Sue Ellen.
But for the baby's sake, as well as your own isn't it worth a try? - Is little John all right? - He's fine.
He's just hungry.
I'm gonna warm his bottle.
He started on meat today.
He loved it.
Of course, he's a Ewing.
Where's Sue Ellen? Dusty Farlow, please.
No.
Wait.
When will he be back? Just a friend.
I'll call back later.
Thank you.
Well, Lucy, I didn't hear you come in.
No, and I suppose you didn't hear little John screaming his lungs out, either.
Where was Mrs.
Reeves? She was there.
Where were you? I really don't care to discuss this with you, Lucy.
Of course not.
I'm just a kid, a nothing.
What difference does it make what a kid thinks? - That is not what I meant.
- Isn't it? I know how much kids mean in this family.
Lucy, I am not up to your dramatics now.
Will you please excuse me? What is it about the Ewings that makes kids so unwanted? Is it a curse or something? Is every child in this family meant to grow up without parents? Don't you compare J.
R.
and me with your parents.
We're here in this house with our child.
Are you? You don't want him any more than my parents wanted me.
Your parents loved you, Lucy.
But I didn't know it.
All while I was growing up, I never saw them.
But you and Valene found each other again.
You mean little John is gonna have to wait until he's my age to find out that you love him? No.
I love him now, Lucy.
Well, you sure have a funny way of showing it.
But don't worry about him.
His cousin Lucy will teach him how to survive in this family.
I'll show him how to grow up without parents and make the whole world pay.
Well, everything's ordered.
Simmon says we'll be hooked up to the pipeline by tomorrow.
Are you listening to me? I'm sorry, Bobby.
Do what you have to till I hear from Vaughn Leland.
Dave Thomas, he checked the well, says it's in good working order.
We should be pumping oil by day after tomorrow.
Daddy, listen, why don't you? Why don't you talk to those bankers one more time? See if you can convince them to hold off for a week.
We might strike it in Asia by then.
No way, Bobby.
I've crawled after those bankers enough for this and I don't intend to crawl anymore.
Determined to sell those Asian leases, aren't you? That's right.
I'm getting an answer tomorrow from Vaughn Leland.
And if it's not yes well, I don't know what's gonna happen to your mama.
Let's go.
- Looks like we got a little trouble, Daddy.
- Yeah, let's Let's take a look, see what's going on.
Sure is something, all right, with a cop car around here.
What's going on? Well, nothing serious.
Seems that we got ourselves a genuine relic here.
Well, I'll be damned.
Anybody got any idea who this is? Probably some itinerant.
Wandered through here, kind of liked it and just stayed on.
You got any ideas, Jack? Nope.
But we'll check it out with the sheriff and the medical examiner.
Well, can we move him? I'd like to get on with the work here.
Sure thing, just as soon as the coroner gets here.
Boy, some people dig holes and find oil, all I find is a skeleton.
Can I get you something, J.
R.
? No.
Hank hasn't called from overseas yet, has he? You got it.
Well, do you want me to put in another call? No.
It's the Associated Press.
They wanna know something about an oil well.
Hello, J.
R.
Ewing here.
What? Yeah, I own those leases.
No.
No, I'm in it alone.
That's the way I do things.
What? Well, now, I haven't got a confirmation on that yet.
- J.
R.
, Hank's on the phone.
- What? Hank.
Hang on.
Hang on just a second now.
Hello, Hank? Where the hell have you been? What? What?! Yeah! We hit! Hold it.
Hold it.
Hang on.
Hang on there.
Hello.
Yes, that's a confirmation.
Absolutely.
A strike in the Pacific.
Maybe the biggest one ever yet.
Yeah, you can quote me.
J.
R.
Ewing.
Hello, Hank? Hang on.
We hit it! We hit it! We hit it! It's a gusher! A big one! I don't believe it! I don't have time for that.
Go answer them phones.
Hello.
Hello, Hank.
- Hello? - Ewing Oil.
Oh, Mr.
Lewis.
Yes, it's true.
Just a minute, please, the other phone.
Ewing oil.
Dallas Press? Yes, that's right.
He's on the phone with the foreman.
Well, just a minute.
I'm going to Southfork.
I can't wait to see the expression on their faces when they hear the news.
Yes, it's true.
No, Mr.
Ewing still hasn't arrived.
Well, this is Lucy Ann Ewing.
Photographers? Really? When? Great.
Well, I'll be ready.
Do you want us to wear anything special? All right.
We'll do that.
Bye-bye.
Don't open the champagne yet, Teresa.
Lucy is having the most wonderful time.
I think she's headed for a career in public relations.
I'm really happy, Miss Ellie.
Now there won't be any oil derricks on Southfork.
- I know what that means to you.
- Thank you, Pam.
I hope everyone gets here soon.
Reporters are on the way.
- What about J.
R.
? - I called the office.
They said he left a while ago.
Teresa, would you get out the caviar, please? I guess you're determined to turn this into a party.
I guess I am.
- lf you'd check that out for me tomorrow.
- I'll do it, Daddy.
What? What's going on? We have some wonderful news.
We heard it from the AP.
The Asian oil wells came in.
How about that, boy? - Congratulations.
- Yeah, man.
Man, great.
Well, Miss Ellie Iooks like our nightmare is over.
I know, Jock.
It's wonderful.
Where's J.
R.
? Well, he's on his way home from work.
I think we've stolen his thunder.
Well, good.
Boy, howdy, have I got some news for you folks.
We've already heard it, J.
R.
The phones haven't stopped ringing.
- You heard? - Of course.
I've told the reporters everything.
Now they're sending some photographers over.
- Where's Sue Ellen? - Probably upstairs primping for the photographers.
Oh, I've gotta fix my own hair.
Well, Miss Ellie.
I think we ought to go on a spending binge.
Thank God.
There'll be no drilling on Southfork.
- Well, that's what your daddy wished.
- I know.
Southfork will stay just the way it is.
- I'm grateful.
- Hey, now wait a minute.
Isn't anybody gonna say something like: "Thank you, J.
R.
, for making us billionaires"? Mama, Daddy, I did this for you.
You just gambled our home, that's all.
And that sure as hell ain't anything to be proud of, J.
R.
You know, J.
R.
, it may have worked out, but it wasn't worth it.
I just had the worst few days of my life.
How are you gonna make up to me for that? I'll try, Mama.
Well, you damn well better.
I will, sir.
I promise.
Well, that's one promise I'm gonna see that you keep.
Because from now on, I'm gonna run Ewing Oil myself.
And I'll be coming into the office on a regular basis.
Oh, no, no.
Not fish eggs.
You don't have to eat it, Jock.
Well, that's real nice of you.
Thank you.
That's all right, Daddy.
I'll take your share for you.
It's good.
Put some eggs and onion on it.
Oh, I love it.
I love it.
Now, y'all stand back now.
I jiggled this up on the way in.
Here we go.
It's okay, Pam.
I've got him now.
I lost him.
I lost him.
No, Pam.
He was never yours.
- You can't do this.
You just can't.
- Sit down and shut up.
Those Asian wells are gonna come through.
I wanna tell you boys that we don't shoot craps with Southfork.
Is that plain? What you're really doing is using that baby as a weapon so you can keep the Ewing name, because that's all you care about.
You're a parasite.
You're incapable of loving.
All you can do is use.
- I'm still your brother.
- As far as I'm concerned I'm an only child.
Mrs.
Ewing, did you change him? You shouldn't be doing that.
It's all right.
I'm finished.
Why don't you go back to bed.
That baby is certainly lucky to have you, Mrs.
Ewing.
Poor little thing, his mother just doesn't seem to care.
Now don't be too hard on her.
She's been through a lot.
It's not natural.
He's almost asleep now.
Why don't you try and get some? - He'll be screaming for breakfast soon.
- Thank you.
Okay, come on.
Come on.
Let's go.
The baby all right? Yes.
He just needed changing.
Mrs.
Reeves still there? Yes.
I suppose Pamela's there too.
Sue Ellen, I'm asking you a question.
Would you be so kind as to answer me? Yes, she was there.
Now, can we discuss this at another time? No, we're gonna discuss it right now.
Now, I wanna know why Pamela always manages to get to little John before you.
What difference does it make? Well, it makes a difference to me and to my mama and daddy too.
They mention it often enough.
Really? And what do they say? They say you don't take any interest in the child.
That is not true.
Of course it's true.
Why am I paying that psychiatrist? The only reason I'm letting you go is so you can pull yourself together and take care of the child.
What do you want, J.
R.
, a miracle cure? Everything takes time.
Sue Ellen, you are an unfit mother.
And you, you are an unfit father and husband but I don't see you going to a doctor to try to improve the situation.
Sue Ellen, the child is your responsibility.
Now I do not want my sister-in-law raising it.
You haven't looked at him since we came home from the hospital.
He has two parents.
What about your responsibilities? Don't think you can get out of this by turning it around.
Your child will grow up not knowing his mother.
I've had enough of this.
I'm very tired.
No, we're gonna get this thing settled, Sue Ellen.
Not now.
We can talk about it in the morning.
I wanna talk to your psychiatrist, that's who I wanna talk to.
- Now, something's gotta be done.
- In the morning, J.
R.
, please.
What's going on? They're gonna wake up the baby.
Yeah, and the whole house from the sounds of it.
Well, what's it about? About you.
J.
R.
's angry that you're always with little John.
I'm not always with the baby.
It's just when he cries, I wanna see that he's all right.
Honey the situation is getting serious, and I think we should talk about it because J.
R.
is right.
About what? You got no business being with that baby all the time.
I'm not always with the baby.
Only Only when? When he needs me.
Honey, if it were up to you to decide that, it'd be 24 hours a day.
Now, he's becoming an obsession with you.
He doesn't have anyone else.
J.
R.
and Sue Ellen won't even touch him.
That still doesn't make it your problem.
I'm just trying to do what's best for baby John.
He's all I care about.
I didn't mean that the way it sounded.
My daddy swore there'd never be any drilling on this land.
So did I.
Well, if I could do anything about it, Miss Ellie, I'd do it.
Whatever needed doing should've been done years ago.
What do you mean? I mean J.
R.
You instilled in him a desire for power and money.
Doesn't seem to care about anything else.
Not even his home.
Well, damn it, Miss Ellie, I didn't tell him to open up this well.
You did that.
There was no choice.
It was either pump oil out of Southfork or lose the ranch to the banks.
Listen.
- I'll help you.
- I can do it.
Let me do it, Ellie.
I'll drop you off at the house, Miss Ellie then head into town for that meeting with Vaughn Leland.
Well, Ray's getting ready to start excavating for his house.
It's not the best piece of land, but Ray will make something out of it.
Hey, Jock! Hey, before we go any further I got a couple things here I wanna show you on these plans.
Now, this wall that we're working on over here on the right that's this one right here, right? Well, it looks to me like - Morning, Kristin.
- Good morning, J.
R.
- Thank you.
- Morning, J.
R.
Coffee's all gone, but there's a fresh pot almost ready.
- J.
R.
, they're all in there.
- Who's all? Bobby, your daddy and Vaughn Leland.
Vaughn Leland? Hello, Bobby.
Good morning.
Dad.
Well, Vaughn, look who's here.
How you doing? I see you're all at it hot and heavy already.
Sit down, J.
R.
I got something to say.
All right, sir.
Now, Leland, my experts tell me that those wells in the Far East will eventually come in.
Now, if Southfork hadn't been used to back up those loans for that Far East drilling I might have been willing to gut it out.
But now I'm gonna sell those leases for 75 cents on the dollar.
- Daddy, you can't do this.
You just can't.
- Sit down and shut up, J.
R.
It's a hell of a deal, Vaughn.
You think you can put together some buyers? Well this is quite a surprise.
We're talking about a lot of money.
Let me see if I can get some kind of a combine together.
I'll get back to you by Friday.
Well, now, you do that.
Daddy, when did you make this decision? This morning when I saw the look on your mother's face as she watched your crew on section 40.
She agreed that we could drill on Southfork, Daddy.
She agreed because she didn't have any other choice.
And I'm gonna do everything I can to stop it, you understand? Daddy, this is something we should sit down and discuss.
Not a damn thing to discuss, Bobby.
Your mama's been through enough.
And I don't want this ranch turned into an oil field.
Those Asian wells are gonna come through.
There's only one thing I'm interested in right now, and that's cash.
We'll get cash.
We just need time, that's all.
Well, we're just about to run out of time, J.
R.
I want cash, and I want it fast.
I want that money before we're forced to pump oil out of section 40, understand? What J.
R.
did, mortgaging Southfork, you know how I feel about that but it's done now.
It's a gamble.
- It's not a gamble.
Listen I've been around this business long enough to know there's no guarantees.
It's a crap shoot.
And I wanna tell you boys that we don't shoot craps with Southfork.
Is that plain? Well if you'll excuse me I guess I'm not needed around here any longer.
Bobby.
Dad.
Connie.
J.
R.
I'm going to the Cattlemen's Club.
When will you be back? I don't know.
Should I get a table for you, Mr.
Ewing? - What say? - Will you be staying to lunch, sir? This is my lunch, George.
Thank you.
J.
R.
Well, hello, Bobby.
You come to audit my bar bill? No, I came here to talk.
I got George to talk to.
Don't I, George? I know what drives you.
I'm sorry I had to be the one to blow the whistle on you.
Bobby, you know I just can't believe you and I have the same mama and daddy.
You're just too damn good to be rich, you know that? If you hadn't mortgaged Southfork, I wouldn't have said anything.
Maybe your gamble would've paid off.
I don't gamble.
Those Asian oil wells are gonna come in.
George.
J.
R.
, the booze isn't gonna solve anything.
I don't need your advice, Bobby.
And I don't understand your sudden concern for my welfare, either.
I'm still your brother.
Bobby, as far as I'm concerned I'm an only child.
I can hardly believe what she was wearing to that formal dinner party.
It's the tackiest thing I'd ever seen.
She's never had any taste and never will.
Have you seen her mother? Did you see that ratty fur she was wearing? Oh, my land.
You will not believe who just walked in the door.
Why, Sue Ellen, it's wonderful to see you again, honey.
Come on in here.
Clara, look who's here.
Well, Sue Ellen, golly, how have you been? And how's that darling little boy of yours? Well, little Johnny's just fine.
He's growing an inch a minute.
Clara's going on a trip.
Did you know that? Ladies, please, I have an important announcement.
I just got word that our speaker, Mr.
Max Hungerford of the Dallas city planning commission can't be here today.
But fortunately, we do have a substitute.
Mr.
Clifford Barnes, former head of the Office of Land Management now running for Congress, has agreed to speak at our luncheon.
He'll be with us soon Are you all right, honey? Well, actually, I'm not feeling very well.
Will you excuse me? - Sue Ellen.
- Excuse me, Cliff.
Sue Ellen, please don't go.
I need to talk to you.
Mrs.
Ewing.
We've gotta get in there.
I'll be there, I'll be there.
Just please give me a minute, please.
Sue Ellen, look, we can't talk here.
Can I meet you after the meeting? - I'm sorry, I've made other plans, Cliff.
- Well, when, tomorrow? I don't wanna see you, Cliff.
Now, let go of me.
- Cliff, they're ready.
- Sue Ellen, I need to talk to you.
Please.
Tomorrow, my place, 3:00.
Cliff, they're ready.
I saw your daddy today, little John.
He wants to see me.
I don't know what to do.
I'm so confused, I don't even know how I feel.
Sue Ellen? Well, I'm glad to see that little discussion we had last night is having some results.
I don't know what you're talking about.
Well, pick him up or change him and feed him, whatever it needs.
Do something.
You're the one who's become the expert on how to be the perfect parent.
You pick him up.
Well, Sue Ellen Barnes took over for Max Hungerford and gave his conservation speech.
- He still thinks it's gonna happen? - Oh, yeah.
"We must preserve everything that is beautiful in our city.
" - You know the one.
- Yeah, yeah.
Well, any pledges or donations or anything like that? Well, not much.
- My wife happen to be there? - I think so.
- Yes, I did see her.
- Yeah.
Cliff wants to start making more radio time.
He's asking for more money.
- Anything left? - Well, a little.
When that's finished, that's it.
Not another penny from me.
We pull the plug on the campaign.
That's it.
I did what I set out to do.
Got Barnes out of the OLM.
That's all I care about.
No more money for Mr.
Barnes.
No more nothing.
- How do you want me to handle it? - Well, just spend what you got.
- The faster the better.
- Then what? Well, that's his problem, isn't it? He wants me to meet him at his place at 3.
His place? Well, it's the only place that we can meet.
We shouldn't be seen together in public.
Am I upsetting some moral code of yours, Dr.
Elby? Why are you concerned with my moral code? You don't think I should meet him, do you? What you're saying is that you don't know if you want to meet him or not.
You're not much help.
Our purpose is to get you to help yourself.
Well, if I don't see him, it'll mean I'm still afraid of him.
I think he's still capable of hurting me.
Are you willing to risk that? Frankly, I don't think I can handle any more pain.
Well, you were willing to take a chance with Dusty.
Was I? It seems to me I let it go only so far.
I kept my feelings under wraps so he wouldn't hurt me either.
I have a few things that I need to say to Mr.
Barnes.
And besides, I don't have anything to lose, do I? Do I have anything to lose? You're the best judge of that.
How about a straight answer? Sue Ellen, there are some things you have to do or decide on your own.
Then how about some plain old advice? Maybe we can talk about your dependence next time.
Psychiatrists.
- Connie.
- J.
R.
Kristin, place an overseas call to Hank Johnson at the drilling site.
- Right away.
- What time is it over there? It's about 2 a.
m.
Good, he's half asleep.
- He won't lie to me.
- J.
R.
, your daddy - Anything I can do to help you? - No, just getting your papers for Leland.
We got a meeting today.
You gotta reconsider, Daddy.
Just ask the banks for another week.
Now, you listen, and you listen good.
This is your mess, and I'm gonna clean it up.
And I'm not asking favors of anybody.
What is it? Hank? Is Daddy still in the office? All right.
What line? Hank.
Hank, what is going on over there? I haven't heard from you for two days.
I don't want excuses, I want information.
I want reports every hour.
I wanna know exactly what's going on over there.
You know damn well I don't trust you.
I don't trust anybody.
Well, I'll tell you what's happening, old buddy.
As of Friday, Ewing Oil does not own those leases anymore and you are gonna be out of a job.
If we don't strike oil by Friday it's all over for all of us.
- Hi, Pam.
- Hi.
- What'd you do, buy out the whole store? - Almost.
They had a sale in the baby department.
I couldn't resist.
You want me to help you with some of this? Well, I left some things outside.
Would you get them? - There's more? Okay.
- Thank you.
Well, what'd they do, have a giveaway down there? - Well, no, they had a sale at the store.
- Good, you needed some new things.
- Well, they really aren't for me.
- Coming through, coming through.
- Where do you want these? - Oh, the nursery.
Okay.
Pam what's going on? Nothing.
I told you.
The store had a sale.
I bought some things for baby John.
I got him a Cowboys sweatshirt, and he'll be able to wear it in a couple of years.
I'm gonna take these upstairs.
Sue Ellen, please come in.
Sit down.
Can I get you a cup of coffee? No, thanks.
Why did you wanna see me, Cliff? Come on, Sue Ellen, please sit down.
I haven't much time.
What do you want, Cliff? Well, I just wanted to see you just to see how you were doing.
- I'm fine.
- And the baby? He's fine.
Any details? I mean, you know, is he walking, talking getting ready to go to college, any marriage plans? What? He's fine.
That's all.
Has he seen a doctor lately? What are you talking about? I don't know, I just thought babies have regular checkups.
Cliff, what are these questions all about? Well, I'm just concerned about my son.
Is there anything unusual about that? Cliff, you don't have to play the loving father.
And you certainly don't have to be concerned about my welfare.
Look, Sue Ellen, come on.
Please tell me what's going on.
I'm fine, the baby is fine, and neither of us can get you to Washington so you can stop wasting your precious time worrying about either one of us.
You have no right to say that.
If I don't, who does? You used me like you used everybody else to get ahead and destroy J.
R.
Ewing, and to hell with anybody else.
- I loved you, Sue Ellen.
- You made love to me.
You never loved anybody but yourself.
You never cared about me.
You used me to get at J.
R.
And when I wanted you and needed you, you left me.
So I used you? Yes, that's what I think.
Men are users.
No, Sue Ellen.
You are the user.
You used J.
R.
to get position and wealth.
And when that started to go sour, then you used me to get back at J.
R because you knew I was the one that could do that.
And then you got your hooks into me.
- Let go of me.
- You're not going anywhere, Mrs.
Ewing.
You're going to listen to me, because it concerns my son.
Because what you are really doing now is using the baby as a weapon so you can keep the Ewing name which you care about because you're a parasite.
You're incapable of loving.
Even your son.
You are wrong.
I love my son.
You can't love anyone.
All you can do is use.
Vaughn, I need a week, that's all.
Just another week.
J.
R.
, I just gave my word to Jock.
Now, I can't go back on it.
Stall him.
Your father? Stall him.
Oh, come on now, J.
R.
Business is business.
These oil leases are a good investment.
We'd be crazy not to move on them.
Vaughn do you remember the Coburn security deal? I'm calling in that marker.
I'm sorry, J.
R.
Some other time.
Things are different now.
I'm taking my orders from Jock.
I took some risks for you.
Believe me, J.
R.
, I would if I could, but I I'm in a spot now.
Your daddy's running this show.
- I can't afford to cross him.
- A week! That's all I'm asking.
I can't, J.
R.
I'm sorry.
Sue Ellen.
Hello, J.
R.
I'd hoped you'd be home earlier.
I didn't think you cared.
I wanna ask you something.
Can we make it another time? I wanna go to bed and get some sleep.
It can't wait.
All right.
I'm listening.
J.
R.
, have I changed? Changed? How changed? Any way.
Any way you can think of.
Well, you still make a very nice appearance.
At times, you're a real pretty woman.
I don't mean physically.
I mean other ways.
Honey, what are you talking about? Changed in other ways, J.
R.
Am l? Am I different with people now? I mean Do I hurt them? Do I use them? What do you mean use them? Use them for my own ends.
Sue Ellen, you haven't changed a bit.
You're exactly the same as when I married you.
I got the mail.
For you.
And I got a card from my little friend Luke in Montana.
Read it to me.
What does he have to say? "Dear Bobby, we've been in Montana for a while, but I haven't had time to write.
Sure is pretty here.
Me and Pa is working with my uncle on the farm.
Pa likes it.
I don't know if I do.
Best thing about it is the horses.
Miss you and Pam and all the folks at the ranch.
Say hello for me.
Luke.
" And a picture of the ugliest bull I ever saw.
You sure miss that boy, don't you? Yeah, I guess I do.
Pam, no.
- I've got to see him.
- Let Mrs.
Reeves handle it.
- I've got to go to him.
- Honey, leave him alone.
Bobby, that's not fair.
I can't stand to hear him cry.
Honey, just let him be.
He's not your baby.
He's the closest I'll ever come to having one.
Why didn't you pick him up? Mrs.
Reeves will be here any minute.
You didn't answer my question.
I asked why you didn't pick him up.
It's not good to pick up a baby every time it cries.
He's not a baby, Sue Ellen.
He's your baby.
I don't know how you can stand to hear him cry.
Pamela, I want you to put little John back in that crib right now.
Why? Because that's Mrs.
Reeves' job, and that's what we're paying her for.
It's no trouble at all.
I really don't mind.
Mrs.
Ewing is here, doctor.
Send her in, please.
Bad day? I'd like to know what I am paying you for.
We have wasted months talking about the past when you should help me with the present.
What do you mean, Sue Ellen? I came here months ago telling you that I wanted to be a good mother to my child.
Months.
And I still can't hold my child.
I can't even relate to him.
And what are you doing about it? Nothing, absolutely nothing.
You're wasting my time and my husband's money.
My life is falling apart.
And we are paying this ungodly sum of money, and nothing has changed.
What happened with Cliff? He said I didn't care about little John.
He said that I couldn't love anyone.
He called me a parasite.
Let's start from the beginning.
Why did he wanna see you? He said he wanted to know how the child was.
Well, that seems normal.
You say he's sure he's the father of your child.
He doesn't care about the baby.
He doesn't care about me.
You don't believe anyone really cares about you, loves you? No.
Not Cliff.
Not J.
R.
I don't think they're capable of that.
And Dusty? I don't know.
He says he loves me.
He may believe that.
I don't know.
I don't even trust him.
Then you're still afraid of being hurt? - Yes.
- Is that the way you want it? I don't have the choice.
All of it is your choice.
I didn't choose to be hurt by Cliff.
I didn't choose to be hurt by J.
R.
You said that Dusty seemed different from Cliff or J.
R.
Maybe he is.
But maybe Maybe I'm just unable to choose the right men.
Sue Ellen if you continue to be afraid perhaps you'll never be able to.
Have I rejected my baby? I'm afraid of him too.
Do you love him? Yes.
I love him very much.
Then show him.
Take a chance.
I don't know if I can.
I'm afraid if I let my guard down, if I let anyone get close to me even the baby, that I'll be hurt.
How can I make sure that I won't be? You can't be sure, Sue Ellen.
But for the baby's sake, as well as your own isn't it worth a try? - Is little John all right? - He's fine.
He's just hungry.
I'm gonna warm his bottle.
He started on meat today.
He loved it.
Of course, he's a Ewing.
Where's Sue Ellen? Dusty Farlow, please.
No.
Wait.
When will he be back? Just a friend.
I'll call back later.
Thank you.
Well, Lucy, I didn't hear you come in.
No, and I suppose you didn't hear little John screaming his lungs out, either.
Where was Mrs.
Reeves? She was there.
Where were you? I really don't care to discuss this with you, Lucy.
Of course not.
I'm just a kid, a nothing.
What difference does it make what a kid thinks? - That is not what I meant.
- Isn't it? I know how much kids mean in this family.
Lucy, I am not up to your dramatics now.
Will you please excuse me? What is it about the Ewings that makes kids so unwanted? Is it a curse or something? Is every child in this family meant to grow up without parents? Don't you compare J.
R.
and me with your parents.
We're here in this house with our child.
Are you? You don't want him any more than my parents wanted me.
Your parents loved you, Lucy.
But I didn't know it.
All while I was growing up, I never saw them.
But you and Valene found each other again.
You mean little John is gonna have to wait until he's my age to find out that you love him? No.
I love him now, Lucy.
Well, you sure have a funny way of showing it.
But don't worry about him.
His cousin Lucy will teach him how to survive in this family.
I'll show him how to grow up without parents and make the whole world pay.
Well, everything's ordered.
Simmon says we'll be hooked up to the pipeline by tomorrow.
Are you listening to me? I'm sorry, Bobby.
Do what you have to till I hear from Vaughn Leland.
Dave Thomas, he checked the well, says it's in good working order.
We should be pumping oil by day after tomorrow.
Daddy, listen, why don't you? Why don't you talk to those bankers one more time? See if you can convince them to hold off for a week.
We might strike it in Asia by then.
No way, Bobby.
I've crawled after those bankers enough for this and I don't intend to crawl anymore.
Determined to sell those Asian leases, aren't you? That's right.
I'm getting an answer tomorrow from Vaughn Leland.
And if it's not yes well, I don't know what's gonna happen to your mama.
Let's go.
- Looks like we got a little trouble, Daddy.
- Yeah, let's Let's take a look, see what's going on.
Sure is something, all right, with a cop car around here.
What's going on? Well, nothing serious.
Seems that we got ourselves a genuine relic here.
Well, I'll be damned.
Anybody got any idea who this is? Probably some itinerant.
Wandered through here, kind of liked it and just stayed on.
You got any ideas, Jack? Nope.
But we'll check it out with the sheriff and the medical examiner.
Well, can we move him? I'd like to get on with the work here.
Sure thing, just as soon as the coroner gets here.
Boy, some people dig holes and find oil, all I find is a skeleton.
Can I get you something, J.
R.
? No.
Hank hasn't called from overseas yet, has he? You got it.
Well, do you want me to put in another call? No.
It's the Associated Press.
They wanna know something about an oil well.
Hello, J.
R.
Ewing here.
What? Yeah, I own those leases.
No.
No, I'm in it alone.
That's the way I do things.
What? Well, now, I haven't got a confirmation on that yet.
- J.
R.
, Hank's on the phone.

Hang on.
Hang on just a second now.
Hello, Hank? Where the hell have you been? What? What?! Yeah! We hit! Hold it.
Hold it.
Hang on.
Hang on there.
Hello.
Yes, that's a confirmation.
Absolutely.
A strike in the Pacific.
Maybe the biggest one ever yet.
Yeah, you can quote me.
J.

Oh, Mr.

Yes, it's true.
Just a minute, please, the other phone.
Ewing oil.
Dallas Press? Yes, that's right.
He's on the phone with the foreman.
Well, just a minute.
I'm going to Southfork.
I can't wait to see the expression on their faces when they hear the news.
Yes, it's true.
No, Mr.
Ewing still hasn't arrived.
Well, this is Lucy Ann Ewing.
Photographers? Really? When? Great.
Well, I'll be ready.
Do you want us to wear anything special? All right.
We'll do that.
Bye-bye.
Don't open the champagne yet, Teresa.
Lucy is having the most wonderful time.
I think she's headed for a career in public relations.
I'm really happy, Miss Ellie.
Now there won't be any oil derricks on Southfork.
- I know what that means to you.
- Thank you, Pam.
I hope everyone gets here soon.
Reporters are on the way.
- What about J.
R.
? - I called the office.
They said he left a while ago.
Teresa, would you get out the caviar, please? I guess you're determined to turn this into a party.
I guess I am.
- lf you'd check that out for me tomorrow.
- I'll do it, Daddy.
What? What's going on? We have some wonderful news.
We heard it from the AP.
The Asian oil wells came in.
How about that, boy? - Congratulations.
- Yeah, man.
Man, great.
Well, Miss Ellie Iooks like our nightmare is over.
I know, Jock.
It's wonderful.
Where's J.
R.
? Well, he's on his way home from work.
I think we've stolen his thunder.
Well, good.
Boy, howdy, have I got some news for you folks.
We've already heard it, J.
R.
The phones haven't stopped ringing.
- You heard? - Of course.
I've told the reporters everything.
Now they're sending some photographers over.
- Where's Sue Ellen? - Probably upstairs primping for the photographers.
Oh, I've gotta fix my own hair.
Well, Miss Ellie.
I think we ought to go on a spending binge.
Thank God.
There'll be no drilling on Southfork.
- Well, that's what your daddy wished.
- I know.
Southfork will stay just the way it is.
- I'm grateful.
- Hey, now wait a minute.
Isn't anybody gonna say something like: "Thank you, J.
R.
, for making us billionaires"? Mama, Daddy, I did this for you.
You just gambled our home, that's all.
And that sure as hell ain't anything to be proud of, J.
R.
You know, J.
R.
, it may have worked out, but it wasn't worth it.
I just had the worst few days of my life.
How are you gonna make up to me for that? I'll try, Mama.
Well, you damn well better.
I will, sir.
I promise.
Well, that's one promise I'm gonna see that you keep.
Because from now on, I'm gonna run Ewing Oil myself.
And I'll be coming into the office on a regular basis.
Oh, no, no.
Not fish eggs.
You don't have to eat it, Jock.
Well, that's real nice of you.
Thank you.
That's all right, Daddy.
I'll take your share for you.
It's good.
Put some eggs and onion on it.
Oh, I love it.
I love it.
Now, y'all stand back now.
I jiggled this up on the way in.
Here we go.
It's okay, Pam.
I've got him now.
I lost him.
I lost him.
No, Pam.
He was never yours.
