Dallas s05e04 Episode Script

You think there's a chance you can lose John Ross? I wouldn't be trying to get him back if it wasn't for you.
Perhaps if you had a child.
You'd have left mine alone.
Say that again.
I'll take you apart.
I wouldn't be too confident that the court will decide in your favor.
Then I am willing to prove that he is unfit to be a member of the human race.
- J.
R.
.
what is it? - My custody hearing is tomorrow.
Pamela? Dr.
Danvers.
It's Bobby Ewing.
Something's wrong with Pam.
Really wrong.
Mama? Say.
Mama? Mama.
What you all upset about? You haven't said a word since we left the Southern Cross Ranch.
You used me, J.
R.
.
And my love for John Ross.
You intended to fly down with me and get him away all along.
Didn't you? You can't blame me for that.
Not for trying to get my boy back.
I blame you for using other people to achieve your aims.
Mama.
I'd do anything to get him away from Sue Ellen.
She's not exactly the most perfect wife and mother, you know.
I don't know what he's exposed to.
She's living in sin with a cowboy.
Hell.
He can hardly even walk.
Then why would she prefer him to you? Because she's crazy.
That's why I wanna get the boy back.
You want him back without Sue Ellen? Yes.
I'd prefer that.
And what would you bring him back to? Being raised by nursemaids and tutors? Seeing you five minutes a day if he's awake when you finally get home? Well.
I figured that you and Daddy could Could do what? Raise him for you? No.
I'm too old to raise another grandchild.
You sound like you don't want him back here.
That's not fair.
J.
R.
You know I want him here.
But only if his mother's with him.
He needs his mother more than he needs you or me or his grandfather.
I love him just as much as Sue Ellen does.
I know you do, J.
R.
But he belongs with her.
Nothing would make me happier than if you brought John Ross to Southfork.
But only if Sue Ellen's with him.
I saw a part of you I didn't like very much today.
J.
R.
In the past.
I've put up with your games and tricks.
I've even closed my eyes to some of them.
But no more.
As long as your daddy isn't here.
It's gonna have to be me that has to keep an eye on you.
Mr.
Ewing.
I appreciate your problem but at this time, an adoption is out of the question.
I've been to every adoption agency in Dallas.
And you're my last hope for a legal adoption.
Mr.
Ewing.
Please don't even think of adopting illegally.
The Ewing family is hardly in a position to hide something like that.
Well.
I don't have many options left to me.
Do I? You are in the public eye.
Senator.
Well.
If I think it's necessary I can get out of the public eye in one hell of a hurry.
Please.
Mr.
Ewing.
Wait for a child.
In the long run.
You'll be glad you did.
Mr.
Jackson.
I might not have time to wait.
There's no way to get this hearing moved? No.
I tried.
But the initial custody and support hearing has to be in Dallas.
- Do I have to go with you tomorrow? - No.
Tomorrow.
Mr.
Barker.
Who is your husband's lawyer and I meet with the district court clerk to determine which court and judge - presides over the hearing.
- And then what? The next day.
We meet with the court coordinator about being placed on the court calendar.
And how long before that hearing is gonna take place? Well.
If the courts aren't too busy.
Within the month.
Well.
I'll be so relieved to finally go to court.
Well.
Unless you have other questions.
I'll be leaving.
Hello.
Tom.
- I'll walk you to the car.
- No.
How are you? Yeah.
Yeah.
It's It's coming along fine.
- Sue Ellen? - Yes? Before we get into court if there's something in your past that's unknown to me something that might have a A bearing on this hearing I think I should know about it.
I understand.
I'll be back in a couple of days.
If there's anything.
Call me.
We can meet in private.
Thank you.
I appreciate that.
- Goodbye.
- Bye.
Well.
Robert.
Just hold those reservations open.
We'll be there in a little bit.
Okay.
Goodbye.
- Hello.
Mr.
Ewing.
- Hi.
Jackie.
Where's Pam? - I told her I was gonna pick her up.
- She went to the third floor for a minute.
Oh.
Yeah? What's up on the third floor? Children's clothing.
Nursery furniture.
She talks about that a lot lately.
Pam? Pam.
Hi.
Bobby.
A new shipment of cribs came in.
Aren't they pretty? Honey.
It's time to go.
- Mr.
Barker said he'd be here by 4.
- No hurry.
Arthur.
How are you? You know J.
R.
Ewing.
- Never had the pleasure.
- Nice to meet you.
Any particular reason for Mr.
Ewing being here? - He asked to come.
- It's not illegal, is it? I just wanted to see how the wheels of justice turn.
Well.
Shall we get on with it? Court assignment is by rotation.
Court number decides the judge.
It's district court number five.
- Who's the judge in that court? - Packer.
- Judge Packer? - Can we see the court coordinator now? No.
He closes right at 4.
Opens 10 in the morning.
I'm due in court all day tomorrow.
Day after will be all right with you.
Arthur? I was hoping to get it out of the way.
I can fly back to San Angelo.
Day after tomorrow then.
- Thanks.
- Yeah.
Nice meeting you.
- Can I use the phone? - Help yourself.
What does a court coordinator do anyway? He reviews a judge's schedules then puts you on the court calendar.
A judge doesn't know what cases he's gonna hear until it's on that calendar? - That's right.
Why? - Well.
I just think it's funny that I know old Bill Packer's gonna be hearing my case and he doesn't.
J.
R.
.
I remind you that I'm an officer of the court.
I would not look kindly on your taking advantage of that situation.
Come on.
I'd never do a thing like that.
Besides.
Bill Packer is much too honest a man for me to even think of talking to him.
- How do you like it? - I like it.
It's gonna take some getting used to.
- Yes.
Mr.
Barnes? - What? - You buzzed.
- Oh.
I'm sorry.
I did.
No.
I was just checking things out.
Like me to show you where everything is? Maybe later.
Well.
I guess I better start to look busy.
Huh? - Will I see you tonight? - Oh.
Yeah.
Sure.
Any chance we can have veal piccata again? Chances are very good.
Come by at 7.
- You buzzed? - Oh.
Marie.
Yes.
Can you get the company comptroller on the phone for me.
Please? That would be Mr.
Forest.
Right away.
Forest? This is Cliff Barnes.
I wonder if you could come to my office and bring the company books with you.
I would like to see what shape we're really in.
Well.
Ray.
This is just the way you wanted it.
Here's your original 3 million back and your first profit.
$100,000.
Tip of the iceberg.
Lots more where this came from.
I sure wanna thank you again for bringing me in on this deal.
No reason why you shouldn't have been in on it.
You earned it.
- See you at the Cattlemen's Club.
Donna.
- Right.
Pat.
Boy.
There we go.
Huh? Three million dollars.
- Wanna put that back in our account? - That's just what I'm gonna do.
I told you this was gonna be a sweet deal.
Now.
This This we're gonna open up a new account with.
We'll call it our development account.
From what Punk says.
We're gonna be adding to it soon.
And what is our development account? Ready money.
Somebody ask you to come in on a good deal you can't just sit around thinking about it.
Gotta be ready to step right in there with the cash.
Now we can.
Ray.
I hope you know that I didn't care if you used the money for this deal.
Oh.
I know that.
Honey.
Just It's not right for a man to have to ask.
Now I don't have to.
Hello.
Arthur.
- Thank you for coming out so quickly.
- All right.
This I wanted to wait until everyone was in town.
This have to do with what you and I were talking about? Yes.
I I don't know how much you know about me.
Oh.
I've done a bit of research since the Farlows asked me to take your case.
You know that - That I had been an alcoholic.
Or almost.
- Yes.
And that I was admitted to a sanitarium? From which you escaped.
Nearly died in a car crash doing so.
And that there have been other men.
But Dusty's the only one that means anything to me.
Whatever I was or however low I sank.
It was all because of J.
R.
Compared to him.
I'm almost pure.
And the drinking? I haven't had a drink in over a year.
And if J.
R.
wants to dig into my past then I can give you names of his women that will fill up a phone book.
Including my own sister.
And if he wants to show that I am an unfit mother then I am willing to prove that he is unfit to be a member of the human race.
Sue Ellen.
You two slinging mud at one another isn't gonna help either you or J.
R.
Now.
I want you to listen to what I have to say.
Be one thing if the hearing were held in Oh.
New York or Los Angeles.
- But it's not.
This is Texas.
- What's the difference? This may be the last bastion of male chauvinism.
Whatever J.
R.
has done most of it'll be dismissed as just a good old macho Texas boy.
But a wife who cheated on her husband and then deserted him for another man But that's idiocy.
You're right, it is but that's the way it is.
All that's changing.
I'll admit.
For the better.
But right now well.
Sue Ellen I wouldn't be too confident that the court will decide in your favor.
I know how hard you tried.
Pam.
I'm not giving up.
Even you don't really think there's any hope.
Bobby.
Yes.
I do.
Pam.
Every one of those adoption agencies told me that some of those parents were gonna change their mind.
Now.
It could be as little as two months, and then we can adopt.
Pam.
In the meantime I think it's a good idea if we reconsider your going to see a psychiatrist.
Well.
Will you listen to me? No psychiatrist could change the fact we can't ever have a child of our own.
- Hello.
George.
- Mr.
Ewing.
Nice to see you.
Well.
It's always a pleasure being here.
Wonder if I can take that table next to Judge Packer.
- Certainly.
Right this way.
- Thank you.
Why.
Judge Packer.
- J.
R.
Well.
Nice to see you again.
- Nice to see you, sir.
Nice to see you.
Oh.
This is Afton Cooper.
This is Judge William Packer.
- My pleasure.
- Hello.
- Won't you sit down and join me? - I don't wanna intrude, really.
- I hate to eat alone.
- Well.
Sure.
Thank you very much.
Sir.
Why don't you sit over there.
Darling.
Thank you.
It's funny.
Mama and I were talking about you just the other night.
Were you? Well.
I haven't seen your family since - Must be the last Ewing rodeo.
- That's exactly what she said.
Well.
We must get together sometime.
You J.
R.
's new secretary? Oh.
No.
I'm afraid that's way out of my line.
Is that so? It's funny how your name came up.
Judge.
My daddy and l.
We're putting together a solid-gold venture and it sounded so good that he thought it might be a nice idea - to ask his old friends in on it.
- Well.
Is that so? Yes.
Sir.
It's the kind of deal that requires a minimum of investment and a maximum of profit.
And it could happen almost overnight.
I never like to turn my back on a little profit.
- I know how you feel.
- Phone call, Mr.
Ewing.
Excuse me.
Oh.
Thank you.
- There you go.
- All right.
Yeah.
J.
R.
Ewing here.
Twelve forty-five.
Did I time it right? Yes.
Oh.
Is that right? All right.
Tell him to sit tight.
I'll be right there.
Something important's come up at the office.
I have to get back.
Well.
I understand.
I wonder if you could see Miss Cooper home safely.
Why.
It'd be my pleasure.
- Oh.
Thank you.
I hate to be a bother.
- No.
No problem at all.
- Enjoy yourselves, now.
- Bye.
Mr.
Ewing.
Is everything all right? Oh.
Yeah.
Just fine.
Thank you.
- Mes? - Mr.
Forest is here.
- Forest? - Yes, sir.
He wants to know if you've finished with the company books.
Oh.
Yes.
Yes.
Have him come in.
Please.
Mr.
Forest.
Come in.
- Can I offer you a drink? - No.
Thank you.
Mr.
Barnes.
- I don't drink.
- Please.
Sit down then.
Just a few things I'd like to talk to you about.
Yes.
Sir.
Well.
I'm almost through with these books.
I find them very interesting.
Interesting.
Mr.
Barnes? Yes.
I mean.
When I became president of Wentworth Tool and Die I had no idea that it was just one of many other companies owned by Wentworth Industries.
I thought I thought Mrs.
Wentworth would have told you that.
Sir.
Mrs.
Wentworth is a great believer in turning a page at a time.
I wouldn't know.
Sir.
Actually.
Wentworth Tool and Die is rather small potatoes.
Yes.
If you consider $10 million in sales small.
Mr.
Barnes.
No.
No.
I mean.
Compared to Wentworth Mining.
Wentworth Natural Gas.
Wentworth Machine Parts.
It ain't too big.
And I just don't understand why I haven't heard of it.
Corporate headquarters are in Houston and the late Mr.
Wentworth kept a very low profile.
So he did.
Thank you.
Forest.
I'll have these books back to you shortly.
By this evening.
Thank you.
Mr.
Forest.
My pleasure.
Mr.
Barnes.
Mama? Let's get together and have some dinner.
I wanna talk to you.
Thank you.
I'm gonna take a break.
And I'll be back in just a little bit.
She's good.
- Enjoyed your singing.
- Thank you.
Well.
Well.
What? Well.
What? How'd it go with the judge? You know I need him.
It didn't go at all.
We sat around and had a few drinks.
He talked about his grandchildren and then he called for a cab and sent me home.
You're losing your grip.
Afton.
J.
R.
.
I don't mind helping you out from time to time - For which you are amply rewarded.
- Oh.
I know that.
But you see.
I'm tired of this crummy joint.
Can't you get me into someplace better? After today.
You're lucky to be working at all.
I only pay off on resuIts.
What was he doing here? I saw you two talking.
- Mitchell, leave me alone.
Okay? - Don't tell me he likes good singing.
Yes.
A matter of fact.
He does.
Just because you're too dumb to take advantage of a good thing.
Don't think I am.
- Of all the people in the world - Mitch you don't know the first thing about it.
Yeah.
Well.
I know it makes me sick to think of you with him.
- She's choking! - She's choking! Somebody help us! - Help.
Help! Somebody help her! - What happened? She's got one of the chicken bones caught in her throat.
Can you speak? "Beverly! 'Oh-hurry!" Oh.
My God.
Hurry.
Oh.
She's still choking.
Oh.
Beverly.
- Here.
Sit down.
Sit down.
- Honey.
Are you all right? Relax.
Oh.
Bev.
Just relax.
Just start breathing normally.
- It's okay.
Bev.
It's all right.
- Relax.
Relax.
Just breathe normally.
Feeling better? Thank you.
Young man.
Thank you.
I think you saved her life.
Young man.
His name's Cooper, Mitchell Cooper.
- Here you go.
Honey.
- Thanks a lot.
- Hi.
- Evening.
- Bobby.
- Ls Pam around? Yes.
She went upstairs right after she got home.
Thank you.
Watch out.
Pam? Honey.
I think I may have some good news.
A man came to see me today.
A lawyer.
Pam? Pam? Pamela? Oh.
God.
Dr.
Danvers.
It's Bobby Ewing.
I'm sorry to bother you at home.
Can you come over to Southfork right away? Something's wrong with Pam.
Really wrong.
Thank you.
Honey? He's been up there an awful long time.
- Dr.
Danvers is very thorough.
Bobby.
- Don't wanna let this get the best of you.
Mama.
She didn't even know that I was talking to her.
Doctor.
How is she? Well.
She's asleep.
I've given her a mild sedative.
Did she? Did she say anything? Did she speak? Well.
After a while.
She said it was almost like she was dreaming.
She heard your voice when you spoke to her.
But it didn't seem real.
- Is it anything physical? - Well.
I gave her a cursory examination.
Everything appears to be all right.
Her eyes are focusing.
Well.
Then what is it? Emotional? Doctor.
She's been real down ever since she found out it'll be a long time before we can adopt.
Yeah.
She did appear very depressed.
For the time being try to keep everything as normal as possible for her here at home.
Is she still working? Yeah.
But she doesn't take much interest in that either.
Well.
It might be that Pam's problem is out of my field.
But for the moment.
See if you can bring back her enthusiasm for work.
And give some thought to some good psychiatric help.
She might need both.
In any event.
It doesn't appear physical.
Well.
Thank you.
Doctor.
Wish I could do more.
Bobby.
Good night.
Good night.
I'm gonna go upstairs.
- That was terrific.
- I'm glad you enjoyed it.
Oh.
My.
I'm gonna weigh 300 pounds.
Well.
You can afford to buy bigger suits now.
That's true.
I can.
Now that you've made me president of Wentworth Tool and Die.
The right man in the right job.
How come you didn't tell me you owned a company when we first met? I didn't see the need.
And that the company was just one small division of Wentworth Industries.
'N-n- - I thought about telling you.
- Yeah? Why didn't you? Because I was afraid that if you knew I was wealthy you might have accepted me just for that.
Not because I loved you.
Not because I wanted to make all those years up to you.
But because I could help you.
Cliff.
I'm sorry if that hurt you.
But I wanted you to care for me first.
No.
You did the right thing.
Because I've been blinded by money all my life.
I don't know why.
I guess Well.
Maybe because I never had any.
And having you show up.
And finding out that you were rich I probably would've been blinded as to who you really were.
And now? You're my mother.
And I never realized how much I missed you.
Or understood what having an honest-to-God mother means.
No more than having my son back means to me.
I'm gonna run this company.
I'm gonna do a good job.
But you have to remember one thing: I have always had big dreams.
So if I start moving too far.
Too fast then you have to slow me down.
I think I'll take my chances on you just the way you are.
Now.
Eat your pie.
Yes.
Ma'am.
- Yeah? - Mitch? - Did you know your phone's out of order? - No.
I didn't.
Oh.
It's all right.
I reported it.
What were you doing trying to call at this time in the morning? I didn't think you got up before noon.
I don't.
Except that Milton called me from the club about an hour ago.
He says a man by the name of Frank Waring called to see if anyone knew how to reach you.
Frank Waring? I don't know anybody by that name.
Oh.
You will.
It seems that it was Mrs.
Waring you saved last night.
Now Mr.
Waring would like you to stop by his house today so he can thank you.
Thank me? I don't want thanks.
I didn't do it for that.
Fine.
Fine.
The last of the Good Samaritans.
Mitch.
Did you see the jewelry she was wearing? It didn't come from the dime store.
Actually.
I was a little too busy to notice.
Well.
Trust me.
She's loaded.
- So? - So why not go see what Frank Waring means when he says he wants to thank someone.
- Afton - Oh.
What could it hurt? He might turn out to be a terrific person.
Besides I already called and told him you'd be there.
You wouldn't want him to think your little sister's lying.
Would you? No.
All right.
All right.
Oh.
Mitch? Put on something nice, okay? Something nice? Yeah.
You might as well make a good impression.
You are a doctor.
What's wrong with the way I dress? - Good morning.
J.
R.
- Oh.
Morning.
Mama.
How you doing? Good.
You're looking very happy this morning.
Yeah.
Well.
Things are looking up for me.
I ran into Judge Packer yesterday.
He's hearing my custody case.
Well.
Why is that such good news? Well.
We sat around and talked about family and such and I just happened to mention I had a deal going - and he was quite interested in it.
- That doesn't sound legal to me.
J.
R.
Oh.
Come on.
Mama.
There's nothing illegal about doing a favor for a family friend.
This good deal.
What precisely is it? Well.
I'll come up with something.
I got plenty of time.
The hearing's not for a couple weeks or more.
And there's no time like the present for getting the ball rolling.
Well.
I'll see you tonight.
Mama.
Hey.
Bob.
Orange? - Morning.
Mama.
- Morning.
Bobby.
- Pam.
How are you feeling? - Well.
Miss Ellie.
I already told Bobby I'm so embarrassed about last night.
I don't know what came over me.
It was so strange.
- I'm sorry if I caused you to worry.
- Don't be silly.
- All we care about is that you're all right.
- Well.
I am.
I feel fine.
I'm gonna go to work and make up for all the slacking off I've been doing.
- Well.
Don't rush it too fast now.
- I won't.
I feel just fine.
If you feel fine.
Why don't I drive you in.
We'll have dinner in town tonight.
- That would be wonderful.
- Bye-bye.
Mama.
Bye-bye.
- Yes.
Sir.
- My name's Cooper.
- Mr.
Waring's expecting me.
- He's having breakfast in the back.
Come this way.
Please.
- Dr.
Waring.
- Yes? - Mr.
Cooper.
- Oh.
Mr.
Cooper.
Thank you for coming.
- It's a pleasure.
- You remember Beverly.
Of course.
Hi, Mrs.
Waring.
It seems we owe you a great deal.
Oh.
You don't owe me a thing.
And my name is Mitch.
- Mitch.
Join us for breakfast.
- I've already eaten, but thank you.
Mitch.
You saved Beverly's life.
I'd like to show you my appreciation.
This is for $5000.
And my sincere thanks goes with it.
Doesn't matter.
I still can't take it.
All right.
I respect you for that.
I do have one question.
Though.
How did you know the proper procedure to save Beverly? Not a CPR course? I just graduated medical school.
You have to learn something there.
I'm glad you did.
- What field are you going into? - Research.
I thought all you young fellows wanted to be surgeons.
Well.
I've had some surgical training.
But I've decided to stay with research.
- Have you affiliated anywhere yet? - No.
Not yet.
I'll tell you what I'm running late.
But I'll get in touch.
I think we should talk about this further.
All right.
- Thank you again.
Mitch.
- Thank you.
Good to see you again.
The custody hearing won't be for a couple weeks.
By that time.
I'll have Judge Packer in my hip pocket.
That deal I've been working on in El Paso will be sewed up by then.
J.
R.
.
I don't wanna hear any more about it.
- You know how I feel about using people.
- Well.
Mama.
There's no harm in it.
I mean.
The good judge is gonna make a tidy little profit too.
Yeah? Oh.
Hi.
Howard.
How you doing? Oh.
Dear.
Thank you.
J.
R.
.
what is it? That was Howard Barker.
My lawyer.
There's been an opening in the court calendar.
My custody hearing is tomorrow.
You really think there's a chance you can lose John Ross? Yeah.
I'd feel a hell of a lot better if I had more time to work on Judge Packer.
No mudslinging today.
J.
R.
Whatever problems Sue Ellen's had there's no reason for the papers to have a field day.
Well.
Why would I wanna do anything like that? I don't want my little boy to pick up a newspaper and find out what a tramp his mother is.
You're all heart.
J.
R.
I wouldn't be trying to get him back if it wasn't for you.
Perhaps if you had a child of your own.
You'd have left mine alone.
Brother or not.
You say something like that again.
I'll take you apart.
Well.
It's time to go to court.
I'll call you after the hearing.
- Good luck.
Mama.
- Bye.
I'm sorry.
Pam.
It's all right, Bobby.
J.
R.
can't hurt me.
I don't know.
Maybe there's some truth in what he says.
I've gotta go to work.
- I'll see you tonight.
- Bye-bye.
- Have you talked to the bankers about it? - That's what I'm gonna do now.
I think it would be a good acquisition for us.
You know that's all gobbledygook to me.
Besides.
I've got an appointment downtown.
I don't believe it.
What are you doing here in Dallas? Well.
I had some vacation time coming.
I thought I'd fly and see what you replaced the Houston house with.
You couldn't have come at a better time.
Katherine.
This is Cliff Barnes.
Really? Well.
I've heard so much about you.
Cliff this is my daughter your sister Katherine.
As you've seen, Your Honor Mr.
Ewing has brought no accusation of being an unfit mother against his wife.
Though there were many instances he could've brought forth.
If you have a point, Mr.
Barker.
Would you please make it? I will.
Your Honor.
Mr.
Ewing wants nothing but to make certain his child is brought up in the proper environment.
Which is why I ask the court to give Mr.
Ewing custody of his son.
Since she abandoned her husband Mrs.
Ewing has seen fit to expose her young son to extremely immoral conditions.
I must object.
Do you have proof of these statements.
Mr.
Barker? I do.
Sir.
It's a matter of record that for the past month.
Mrs.
Ewing has been living at the Southern Cross Ranch with her lover, Mr.
Steven Farlow.
The man for whom she abandoned Mr.
Ewing.
She arranged to have the child stolen from Southfork in the dead of night.
And for a month he has been witness to his mother and her lover sharing the same house and.
No doubt.
The same bed.
May I address the charges that Mr.
Barker has made and try to rebut them.
Your Honor? - Yes.
You may.
- While it's true that Mrs.
Ewing has been staying at the Southern Cross with her son they have been provided totally separate living quarters from the Farlow family.
At no time have she and Mr.
Farlow shared either the same bedroom or bed.
I suppose we have Mrs.
Ewing's word for that? We do.
If necessary.
I can provide depositions from the Farlow servants and the child's maid to that effect.
Are we expected to believe depositions given by servants? Well.
Knowing Mr.
Ewing.
We didn't expect you to.
So there is one further corroborating bit of evidence I have for the court.
Evidence provided to me by doctors of unimpeachable reputation who are prepared to testify if necessary.
Some time ago Mr.
Farlow was involved in a plane crash.
It did great physical damage to him.
For a time it was thought he would never walk again.
But because of his love for the woman he intends to marry he overcame that.
But there was one thing he could not overcome.
Mr.
Farlow was rendered impotent.
I have the medical report here.
So you see why Mrs.
Ewing and Mr.
Farlow have not shared a bed.
She did not leave her husband for reasons of the flesh.
She renounced them.
She's dedicating her life to living with and caring for a man with whom she'll never have sexual relations.
Far from subjecting her son to a An unfit environment she's showing him the purest of all emotions: True love.
She and Mr.
Farlow will never have children of their own.
Can the court possibly take from her the only child she'll ever have? The court will need some time to study these documents.
I therefore declare recess until 2 p.
m.
- Yeah? - Line one.
- Hello.
- Bobby.
This is Jackie Dugan.
- Oh, hi, Jackie.
- Ls Pam with you by any chance? No.
She's at work.
Isn't she? She was this morning.
But about an hour ago she went to Liz Craig's office.
- So? - Liz called me, and she never showed up.
What? We've looked all over the store for her.
And Pam's not here.
She drove in this morning.
Is her car still there? Her car is in the parking lot.
But Pam is gone.
I'll be right over.
It's still a long way from being over.
I know that.
Woman.
I still can't believe it.
The judge may still rule for you.
J.
R.
What.
Rule against Sue Ellen of Assisi? Her lawyer did everything but bestow sainthood on that woman.
All rise.
This district court of Dallas is now in session.
The Honorable Judge William Packer presiding.
Be seated.
The court has reached a decision pending a final divorce and custody hearing.
We find for Mrs.
Sue Ellen Ewing temporary alimony in the amount of $5000 a month.
As to the minor child.
John Ross Ewing temporary custody is granted to Sue Ellen Ewing with $1000 a month in child support.
