Dallas s04e06 Episode Script

We have to do something about Bobby.
I just can't believe Bobby not talking to me about this.
Getting out of hand.
You are siding with Bobby against J.
R.
They're both my sons, Sue Ellen.
Don't forget that.
I don't.
I won't have Bobby leaving Southfork again for any reason.
Are you asking me to step down? - I'm telling you.
- You're wasting my time.
Daddy thinks Bobby's doing a great job.
And he doesn't know he's heading for a fall.
- But you do.
- Wouldn't be surprised.
Bobby.
You leaving already? Yeah.
Honey.
I have a meeting this morning.
Bobby.
You gotta slow down.
You can't keep going at this pace.
I will.
As soon as I tie up all the loose ends on that refinery deal.
I still can't believe I did it.
I mean.
That I bought the refinery.
- You don't know what it means to me.
- I think I do.
That's all you talked about in the restaurant last night.
Bet you couldn't tell me what was on your plate.
That's all I talked about? You're right.
That's all I did talk about.
I'm sorry.
But I never pulled off anything this big before.
I mean.
It's exciting.
What can I say? I know.
J.
R.
's gonna be especially pleased when he takes the company back.
Hey.
Bobby.
Finally caught you standing still.
- Morning.
Pam.
- Morning.
Ray.
Unless you're gonna talk about oil.
Don't bother.
- I'm gonna go to work.
- You haven't eaten.
Well.
You're not the only one who's busy.
- Bye.
Ray.
- Bye.
Ray.
Can't this wait till later? Well.
That's just it.
Bobby.
Can't wait any longer.
I know I haven't been around in a while.
But things are busy at the office.
We got a ranch to run.
And there's a lot of decisions to be made.
All right.
Talk to Daddy about them.
I don't want to put any pressure on him.
He's had a lot on his mind lately.
Bobby.
I wanna talk to you.
- I've got a meeting.
And I'm late already.
- Now! J.
R.
.
tell Bobby what you just told me.
Well.
You and Pam were in such a rush last night you didn't tell me the details of that deal you pulled off.
Couple of phone calls.
I found out.
I'd have told you.
All you had to do was ask.
Well.
I'm asking.
Did you sell off Ewing assets to buy that refinery? It's the only way I could make the deal.
One hundred million dollars of Ewing property.
Why didn't you check with me first? There wasn't time, Daddy.
I had to move fast.
Move fast? So fast you didn't have time to talk to me? Daddy.
I have landed us a refinery.
Now.
You know we lost a partnership in the Main-waring refinery last year.
I didn't plan to lose this one.
Borrowing money from one hand to pay the other isn't good business, Bobby.
It is good business.
I can double I can triple the output of that refinery.
Since when did you start thinking that you're the only Ewing in oil? Since when don't you approve of a good business deal? Any time that I don't know beforehand.
That's when.
Yeah.
Sure.
I'm going to my meeting.
We're gonna have to do something about Bobby.
I just can't believe Bobby not talking to me about this.
Getting totally out of hand.
Yeah.
One minute he's leaving Southfork the next he's handling Ewing affairs on his own.
Jock.
Maybe it's none of my business That's right.
Lt's not.
Ray.
You did tell him he could run things.
Well.
You need crude oil to run a refinery.
Where we gonna get it from? The output on Ewing 23 is not near enough.
I don't even wanna talk about it.
Jock.
Why don't we go over to that auction in Fort Worth today.
I got a lot of restocking to do.
There's plenty of business we can talk about on the way over there.
I just don't know what I'm gonna do about those two boys.
I don't wanna get in the middle of anything.
Figure this is family.
Well.
I'm in the middle.
It's a rotten place to be.
Miss Ellie.
I can't believe Bobby's carrying on this way.
What way.
Sue Ellen? J.
R.
.
his own brother, almost died.
Now Bobby's cutting him out of the business.
Sue Ellen.
You know very well that's not what Bobby's doing.
No? Then why did he buy that refinery without even consulting J.
R.
? He's running the business the way his daddy asked him to.
Miss Ellie.
You are siding with Bobby against J.
R.
.
and I don't think that's fair.
They're both my sons, Sue Ellen.
Don't forget that.
I don't.
I won't have Bobby leaving Southfork again for any reason.
- Yes? - A Mr.
Mackey.
Are you in? John Mackey? Yes.
I'll take the call.
Hello? Mr.
Mackey? Mrs.
Ewing.
Well.
Any news about my mama? Any trace of her? - I'm sorry.
- Nothing? The thing is, we're getting nowhere fast.
You sure you want me to continue with this? Yes.
I do.
Mr.
Mackey.
Until we find proof one way or the other about my mama I want you to continue this investigation.
Yes.
Ma'am.
I'll keep after it.
Fine.
You do that.
- Thank you.
Mr.
Mackey.
- Bye.
Yes.
Sir.
I'll have him get back to you on that.
Yes.
We will call you back.
Bye-bye.
- Morning.
Bobby.
- Morning.
- Hello.
Bobby.
- Hi.
Congratulations.
First Ewing refinery.
It's always nice to be appreciated.
- Mr.
Bullock here? - Yeah.
He's in your office with Mrs.
Bullock.
Of course.
Mr.
Eugene.
I'm glad you could come.
- Oh.
Good morning.
Bobby.
- Don't get up.
- You know my wife, Sally.
- Nice to see you.
Bobby.
My pleasure again.
Bobby.
Your call last night sure put a bur under my tail.
I said to my lovely Sally here.
“I've always done business with J.
R.
Now.
What could young Bobby Ewing be up to?“ Well.
Sir.
Young Bobby Ewing has just bought himself a refinery.
That's what I wanted to talk to you about.
Well.
I let Sally handle all the business these days.
I find I sleep better nights.
All right.
The situation is this.
The new Ewing oil refinery has a capacity of 50.
000 barrels a day.
Unfortunately.
It's been allowed to slip to half that potential output.
That's bad business.
I'm certain you'll be wanting to correct that situation.
Absolutely.
I'm gonna double the output and up the profits.
That's reasonable.
What do Jock and J.
R.
think of this? Mr.
Eugene.
You're dealing with me.
I'm running Ewing Oil now.
So the problem is.
We need to supply the new refinery.
Most of what Ewing Oil pumps is committed elsewhere and what I can get out of Ewing 23 won't make up the lack.
So you'll need another source of crude to supply this refinery of yours.
That's right.
And I take it you would be wanting to use our tanker fleet? Sally always goes straight to the point.
Thank you.
Mr.
Eugene.
How much crude do you need.
Bobby? Six-hundred thousand barrels.
To start.
Shall we go ahead and handle the purchase? Yes.
Indeed.
Then we'll broker the oil for you at $30 a barrel.
That's 18 million, payable in advance.
How long will all this take? Well.
One of our tankers will transport the oil up from Venezuela to Galveston within five days.
Five days.
Well.
That's perfect.
We're in business.
I'll have a check ready for you this afternoon.
Don't worry about the paperwork.
- We'll take care of everything.
- Bobby your daddy must be very proud of you.
Yes.
Sir.
Connie.
What do you have that's cold and delicious that we can celebrate with? Seventy-one dollars to one Jock Ewing.
$71 to Jock Ewing.
Bring them on.
Boys.
Hey.
Jock Ewing! - You old hound dog.
- Golly.
How in the world are you? - I haven't seen you in a month this Sunday.
- Well.
It seems like years to me.
I swear.
Punk Anderson and Pat Powell.
Your daddy must be very proud of you.
I didn't know you boys still barn cattle.
Well.
You know me and old Pat.
We get bored just sitting around taking care of the gas and oil.
- You remember Ray here.
- I sure do.
How are you.
Ray? I'm fine.
Good to see you.
- Pat.
- Ray.
Jock.
How's Miss Ellie and those two sons of yours? Well.
They're all right.
Different as daylight and dark.
Those boys.
Hey.
I'm out.
Let's go get some liquid.
Come back to these cows any time.
I'll go along with that.
- Hello.
Ladies.
- J.
R.
.
you're back! - How you doing? - Lt's wonderful to see you.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Well.
Maybe I should go out and get shot more often.
Huh? Bad luck.
Talking like that.
I think we can work it out.
We Well.
J.
R.
You didn't mention you were coming in.
Oh.
You know me.
Bobby.
Couldn't keep me away forever.
Mr.
Eugene.
How nice to see you.
And Sally.
You're just looking so good.
What brings you folks here? J.
R.
.
I gotta tell you.
Your brother is one real live wire.
Yeah.
I know.
I know.
What's he been up to now? Well.
We all just made ourselves the best little deal.
Well.
Wonderful.
Wonderful.
Anything that Bobby does that's good for Ewing Oil I'm behind 100 percent.
- Well.
Welcome back to Ewing Oil.
J.
R.
- Yeah.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Well.
Lookie here.
What you got going? You gonna tell me? Well.
I've just purchased some crude oil from Venezuela to supply the new refinery.
Well.
That's wonderful.
Bobby.
What are you gonna pay them with? I hear you pretty well tapped us out with that refinery deal.
I took a short-term loan.
But no sweat.
I can pay it off in no time at all.
Oh.
Good.
Good.
You're doing a lot better than I thought you were gonna do.
Well.
Thank you.
I'm working on it.
So I see.
I didn't know you had that much wheeling and dealing in you.
Well.
Someone had to do it.
I know.
Well.
I hope you didn't think that this little setup was a permanent deal.
It's just until I get back on my feet.
And as you can see.
I'm back on my feet.
Are you asking me to step down? I'm telling you.
I can run this company as well as you can.
J.
R.
.
and without all the dirty deals.
Well.
I'm highly offended at that remark.
Highly offended.
I know it looks like you're doing a good job here.
I also know how long it takes to learn how to handle a juggling act like this.
You're sorry it wasn't your idea.
Aren't you? The ride's over.
Time to step down.
Go back to toys you know something about.
You're wasting my time.
You're playing with stakes you know nothing about.
Bob.
You listen to me.
J.
R.
.
And get it straight.
I'm staying on as president of Ewing Oil.
You counting on daddy backing you up? Holding you UP? He's not gonna do that forever.
The meeting's over.
Your office is down the hall.
That president's chair is too big for you, Bobby.
Sooner or later.
You're gonna have to admit that.
Are you sure it wasn't Bobby who put up your bail? No.
It was not Bobby.
I don't know who it was.
But it was not him.
But you've always thought of Bobby as your friend.
Now we know better, don't we? Do you know that he left Southfork after he promised to stay and support me? And now he's trying to destroy J.
R.
He has turned totally selfish.
All he thinks about is himself.
He just He's just power hungry, that's all.
You keep talking about Bobby.
Sue Ellen.
What about J.
R.
? Dr.
Elby.
I come here to discuss what's bothering me and right now Bobby is bothering me.
Not J.
R.
If it weren't for Bobby.
Everything would be fine.
Oh.
Would it? Of course it would.
J.
R.
is a totally different person now.
He's He's wonderful.
He's changed.
He's just different now.
You really believe he's changed that much? Yes.
Yes.
I really do.
I wish you could see him.
He's warm and tender and caring.
Passionate.
Dr.
Elby.
He's He's a totally different person.
It's been a long time since we've had a drink.
J.
R.
Well.
That little accident kept me out of circulation for quite a while.
Are you back to work to stay now? As a matter of fact.
That's what I wanna talk to you about.
I'm not gonna be able to go back to work full-time just yet.
So I'd like you to keep your eyes and ears open for me.
Let me know what's happening down in the office.
You understand what I mean.
Here's to mutual understanding of old friends.
Speaking of old friends.
How's that new husband of yours? Fine.
I guess.
Except he's out on the road so much these days.
That's too bad.
For you.
I mean.
One of these days.
When he's on the road I just might drop by some evening.
For a drink.
Of course.
Of course.
Ray and I bumped into Punk and Pat at the auction today.
Well.
You haven't seen them in a long time.
That's what I told them.
Hi.
Everyone.
Sorry I'm late.
But I was at MurieI's.
Granddaddy.
I was wondering could I have a barbecue here on Saturday? You ask your grandma about that.
Any special occasion? Well.
It's Mitch, grandma.
I'd really like for him to meet some of my friends.
He's so different from them.
He's wonderful.
Well.
I'm glad to see somebody happy around here.
I've never met anyone like him.
He's a real man.
- Well.
That's the best kind.
- He's considerate.
intelligent and he's so honest.
Bobby.
Maybe he could work at Ewing Oil.
He'd fit in real good these days.
No.
He's already got a job.
He parks cars.
Well.
Long as he's got a future.
So.
What do you say.
Granddaddy? You think I can have the barbecue? Just a small one.
I think you'd better ask your grandma about that.
Yes.
Lucy.
Thank you, grandma.
That's wonderful.
Lucy.
You haven't been very fortunate in your choice of men.
Maybe this time you'll be a little luckier or wiser.
Well.
We can't all be as fortunate as you.
Sue Ellen.
All right.
That's enough.
Let's go in to dinner.
Yeah.
I'm starving.
Dear.
- How you doing? - Okay.
I told Bobby his time for playing president was over.
But he just wouldn't listen.
- Ewing Oil is yours.
J.
R.
- Well.
I know that.
It's Bobby that seems to have forgotten.
Bobby should stick to running the ranch.
What does he know about oil, anyway? - Think of the damage he could do.
- Lt's not the damage I'm worried about.
It's the good.
Wouldn't Daddy be pleased? - What are you gonna do about it? - I'm working on it.
I'm batting my brains out working on it.
I gotta go out for a little while.
So late? It's business, darling.
Honestly.
Shall I wait up? By all means.
- You going out.
J.
R.
? - Yeah.
Mama.
- Just gonna go into town for a bit.
- At this hour? Yes.
Sir.
I wanna see if I can lend Bobby a hand.
I wanna help him any way I can.
- Night.
Now.
- Night.
You know.
Miss Ellie I just don't like what I see happening between those boys.
They're farther apart than they ever were.
Yeah.
They're pulling me from both ends.
Jock.
l I don't want Bobby leaving Southfork.
Neither do I.
Miss Ellie.
But there's not much we can do about it.
He's destined to wanna go.
I know and it's tearing me apart.
But I want Bobby to stay.
And he will if you don't do anything to drive him off again.
I could never forgive you that.
Jock.
What about J.
R.
? Bobby's running Ewing Oil.
Might just destroy him.
You know.
Ellie.
I always hoped that someday my boys could work together live together.
Now.
Well.
It's lt's J.
R.
who's devoted most of his time.
Most of his life to Ewing Oil.
When Bobby had time for nothing else except Well.
Sowing those wild oats of his.
J.
R.
was right here working in the office.
In the fields anywhere I needed him.
Now J.
R.
is kicked out.
Me too.
For that matter.
Well.
I'm kind of fed up with Bobby's attitude of “hands off.
“ lt's not what he's doing.
It's how he's doing it that Well.
It sticks in my craw.
Bobby has a need to prove himself.
Well.
That need it's sure carrying a high price tag.
I know.
But.
Jock I can't lose another son.
I know that.
Ellie.
Neither could I.
- Hello.
- Hi.
I know you're going to work.
I came by to invite you to a barbecue.
It's not gonna be anything fancy.
Though.
Who's gonna be there? Just a few friends.
- Where? - At Southfork.
This Saturday.
Saturday.
Lucy.
I have to study this weekend.
It's only gonna be a few hours.
Come on.
Just an afternoon.
Okay.
I'll be there.
Great.
And to prove to you I can be very understanding.
I'll let you get to work.
- Bye.
- Bye.
I was surprised to hear from you.
Well.
When I saw you in the office I couldn't help but remember those delightful times we had.
Well.
They were all too fleeting.
J.
R.
Indeed.
They were.
But you always had a way of combining business and pleasure.
Wait till you hear my new proposition.
I think you'll agree that it'll be pleasurable and profitable for both of us.
Knowing.
J.
R.
.
that you and I are birds of a feather I assume this profitable business venture will shaft somebody.
Sally.
Whatever in the world would make you think that I wanted to shaft anybody? Yeah.
Hello.
Sue Ellen.
Now why is it that seeing one of these rafts makes you wanna just turn it over all the time? I'll save you the trouble.
Feels good.
Huh? Sue Ellen.
We haven't had a chance to even sit down and talk lately.
You've been very busy lately.
Yeah.
You know.
When I was a kid.
I used to think that I'd never wanna run Ewing Oil.
I thought it would be too much work.
Now I find out it's more work than I thought it would be.
Well.
You don't seem very anxious to give it all up.
No.
Matter of fact.
I'm enjoying it.
I've noticed.
In fact.
We've all noticed.
All right.
Okay.
Sue Ellen.
You tell me what's the matter.
Tell me.
Bobby.
What do you expect my husband to do while you're out playing president? Now.
Hold on.
Now.
J.
R.
is the rightful president of Ewing Oil company.
Not you.
Now.
Wait a minute, Sue Ellen.
How many times did you plead with me to try and stop J.
R.
? - How many times? And now that I have - And now it's you who has to be stopped.
Well.
Looks like a great day for a little therapy.
Think I'll paddle around the pool for a bit.
Honey.
How you doing.
Bob? - Hello.
- Mrs.
Ewing? - Yes.
- John Mackey.
I may have some good news for you.
About my mama? Now.
I don't want you to get your hopes up.
But yes.
I do have a lead.
You don't seem like you're enjoying yourself much today.
Jock.
Wanna cut this auction short and head on back to the ranch? Nope.
I'm in no hurry to get back to Southfork.
Yeah.
Not what you think.
Ray.
Lt's Lucy.
She's having one of her barbecue swim parties.
- Well.
Howdy! - Well.
Well.
Well.
- Good to see you.
- How you doing? You got enough ready cash on you to buy some cattle? Oh.
I reckon I'm sitting on a buck or two.
Jock.
Tell me.
How are things going down at Southfork? Well.
Kind of slow.
Not really much to do these days.
That so? Well, you know young kids really take over.
Don't they? Yeah.
You might say that.
- Well.
Hello.
- Hi.
Honey.
- My.
Don't you look pretty.
- Thank you.
- Where you off to? - Just going into town for a few hours.
Wait a minute.
I'll drive you.
I have to stop by the office.
I don't think so.
I'm gonna see Cliff for lunch.
What's he up to? I'm not really sure.
Something to do with Dave Culver's campaign for governor.
That's not why I wanna talk to him.
John Mackey from the detective agency called.
And he thinks he has some news about my mama.
What kind of news? Bobby.
He thinks she's still alive.
- Pam - Well.
He's a reputable detective.
I know.
I know.
But I don't want you jumping to conclusions.
Hon.
- I don't want you hurt.
- You don't have to worry about me.
I don't wanna have to.
Not now.
When I have so many things on my mind.
I want you to take it slow.
Oh.
Right.
Of course.
I know that Ewing Oil needs all your concentration.
Hey.
Boys.
Let's get us a big.
Juicy steak in here.
Been looking at it all morning.
I'm thirstier than I am hungry.
Jock.
- Give us a beer.
Please.
- Give us brews all around.
- I'm gonna try and find us a table here.
- Fine.
He's a good boy.
- Bulldogged me into coming to this auction.
- I'm glad he did.
Lt's good to see you again.
You know.
Jock.
You and me go back a long way together.
Yeah.
We sure do.
Punk.
Sure be like old times if we could do some business together.
What you got in mind? Swampland.
Swampland? What for? Redevelopment.
Into a prime recreational area.
- Where? - Texas-Louisiana border.
- You two boys check it out? - Swamp's just waiting there.
Jock.
Gonna be a lot of wheeling and dealing down there.
Jock.
- You mean like we used to do it.
- I mean to tell you, just that way.
- Found us a real good table in the back.
- Lead the way.
That ought to do it.
Keep the change.
- Hey.
Jock.
- Hey.
Ben.
- How you doing.
Boy? - Pretty good.
What do you know? - Meet my foreman.
Ray Krebbs.
- Howdy.
Pleased to meet you.
- Good to meet you.
Sir.
- Heard a lot about you.
You run the Southfork with Jock.
Here.
Don't you? - Yes.
Sir.
I have plenty of help.
- Don't listen to him.
Best foreman I ever had.
Anybody ever had.
Tell me.
Ben.
What have you been doing? Same as you.
Running cattle and Who's that down there at the end? The young fella.
His name Krebbs? That's Ray Krebbs.
Who's the old guy with him? That's Jock Ewing.
What do you know? Much obliged.
I'll take that for you right away.
Sir.
Oh.
Damn.
Mitch.
Mitch.
- I've been waiting for you.
- This what you call a “small“ barbecue? I want you to meet everyone.
Hey.
Listen.
Everyone! I want y'all to meet Mitch Cooper.
Mitch.
This is everyone.
- Hi.
Mitch.
- Hello.
Mitch.
Why.
Mitch.
I don't believe I've had the pleasure.
And you won't either.
I tell you.
My tennis game's been Acapulco's so crowded this time of year.
I don't know where my daddy's sending me this summer.
Lucy.
I told you.
Crowds aren't my thing.
Crowd? This isn't a crowd.
It's a small party.
Hi.
Sorry I'm late.
That's okay.
Gave me a chance to finish up some things here.
Let's go.
I don't know if I can eat.
Wait.
Now.
I rearranged my whole day so I could have lunch with you.
So let's go.
Cliff I think we have our first bit of news about Mama.
Mr.
Mackey.
The detective.
Says someone saw her in a small town just 30 miles south of Corpus Christi.
- So? - Cliff it was three months after Digger says she died.
And that was over 20 years ago.
But it's a start.
At least we know for sure Digger was lying.
Listen to me.
Even if Rebecca is alive.
How can you forget that she betrayed Digger and ran away? She never tried to find us.
Her own flesh and blood.
- Let her stay where she is.
- How can you say that? You're talking about our mother.
Why do you always dig around in the past? Why don't you and Bobby move away from the Ewings? Why don't you move away from Dallas? Why don't you go someplace.
Start a family? A family? Don't you understand? I can't go forward until I know where I'm coming from.
It's different for you.
Digger was your father not mine.
You know who you are.
But I don't have any connection with anybody.
My only connection is our mother.
How can't you understand that? We won! Fifty bucks says you can't do that again.
Lucy.
- You're on.
- Lucy.
- We can do it, Mitch.
- That's not what I'm talking about.
Hell.
Let's not play around.
Got any takers for 200? You're on.
Lucy.
Won't you bet on your gal? Come on.
Mitch.
Ante up.
We're in.
Mitch.
What are you doing? Where are you going? Mitch? Mitch.
Lucy.
Unless I can afford to bet with my own money.
I don't bet.
And I can't.
This is too rich for me.
I knew coming here was a mistake.
I can guarantee those delivery dates.
I hope so.
Bobby.
Because I've got my own contracts to uphold.
Five hundred independent service-station operators who do not take kindly to late deliveries.
I stand by my commitments.
Look.
I don't mean any offense but Ewing Oil never had a refinery before so we never had an opportunity to do business.
Bobby.
You know how people talk.
The crude is en route from Venezuela.
The tanker will dock in Galveston tomorrow.
There's no way you won't get your delivery on time.
- Connie.
- I have the contracts.
Here's your copy.
Mr.
York.
Looks all right.
renewable 30 days at prevailing rates.
And you get your first delivery in three days.
You'll find I never go back on my word.
Three days.
All right.
I'll take you at your word.
- Mr.
Ewing.
What a surprise.
- Glad to see you.
Haven't seen you around here in a long time.
- How you been? - I've been fine.
- Wonderful.
- Ls there anything I can do for you? As a matter of fact.
There is.
I'd like to take a look at some land maps of the Texas-Louisiana border.
Okay? No problem.
Right in here.
Wonder what old Punk's swamplands look like anyway.
- Here you go.
- Thank you.
- Terrific.
- I think you're gonna be happy.
Well.
Well.
Lookie here.
It's good to see you.
How you been? Fine.
Good to see you.
Jock.
- How you doing? - Okay.
I just had one hell of a meeting with this boy of yours here.
First thing I know.
He's got me turned upside down talked inside out.
And I put my name on these contracts.
Gonna buy gasoline from that new refinery of yours.
I'll tell you something - he's one hell of a businessman.
- He is.
Well.
I'm gonna be going.
See you later.
Good to see you.
Say.
Bobby? - Three days? - You have my word on it.
- Hi.
- I have to get to school.
Can I at least talk to you? Please don't make this hard on me.
I spent all day yesterday swearing I'd never speak to you again.
But I changed my mind.
I came to apologize.
What I did Saturday was dumb.
Well.
Aren't you even gonna agree with me? Lucy.
It was nice of you to come here.
But you've gotta understand one thing being rich is a way of life for you.
I'll never have that kind of money.
- I don't care about that.
- Well.
I do! Why should you? I can't compete with your fancy friends with their cars and their trips to Acapulco.
Why do you have to compete with them? They live like that.
So what? Can't you just accept it? They accepted you.
Because I was with you.
Well.
Wouldn't it be the same way with your friends? They'd accept me only because I was with you.
Look.
Things will change.
It'll be different when they know you.
They'll accept you.
Look.
I don't give a damn about their acceptance.
You know what? You're the one who's the snob.
With all that medical stuff you study.
You sure don't know much about people.
You know.
It's funny.
I came here to apologize because I thought we had a good thing going on.
But now I wonder if we do.
Because if you can't like me the way I like you without caring about anyone else then I don't even wanna know you.
Maybe you're not the man I thought you were.
- What do you say.
J.
R.
? - Daddy.
- Have a good day? - Yes.
I did.
- Fix you a drink? - Yeah.
I'll have a little touch.
Something I wanna talk to you about.
- Yes.
Sir.
I'm listening.
- I was up at the office today.
Brady York was there.
Giving Ewing Oil company a signed contract to distribute gasoline from the new refinery.
Is that a fact? J.
R.
.
I know this has been a real hard time for you but I changed my thinking about Bobby.
In what way? Bobby's doing a good job for us.
We always wanted a refinery.
So he went out and got one.
He moves fast.
As soon as he made that Venezuelan crude oil deal he signed York to take our refined gas.
You've gotta admire that.
J.
R.
- Yes.
Sir.
I do.
- What I'm saying is I think Bobby should stay on as president of Ewing Oil.
I'm happy for Bobby.
Daddy.
I really am.
Now.
If you'll excuse me.
Sir I'm gonna take my wife out to dinner.
Can't keep a hungry woman waiting.
- I'm almost ready for dinner.
Darling.
- Good.
Good.
What do you seem so happy about? Before we go down to dinner how about a little appetizer? What do you say? What brought this on? Why does it have to be anything? Whatever is it that's making you so happy, J.
R.
? Daddy thinks Bobby's doing a great job.
And he doesn't know he's heading for a fall.
But you do.
Wouldn't be surprised.
We deserve a drink.
Well.
We pulled it off.
We've got a refinery and by tomorrow morning.
We've got the oil to supply it.
To our tanker in Venezuela.
Hear.
Hear.
- Hi.
Sweetheart.
- Hello.
Sweetheart.
What are you doing here? Thought we had a date for dinner.
Dinner.
I'm sorry.
I forgot all about that.
- Ewing Oil.
- We'll go right now.
Let me - Bobby.
- One second.
Bobby Ewing here.
What? Yeah.
Yeah.
All right.
Bobby.
What's wrong? The tanker.
It went down.
Somewhere between Venezuela and here.
It sank.
What happened? Nobody knows.
Six-hundred thousand barrels of oil.
Eighteen million dollars.
And it's gone.
Oh.
J.
R it just keeps getting better and better and better.
It sure does.
