Dallas s06e21 Episode Script

You are the most despicable human being.
This deal could win me Ewing Oil.
If I lose it because you won't sign.
You'll lose far more.
Didn't you want me to tell you if J.
R.
ships more oil out of the country? - Is he? - A million barrels' worth.
If he's doing what we talked about once before you better hang up fast.
Bobby.
And stop J.
R.
cold.
If J.
R.
's selling to an embargoed country.
And our government finds out and we don't stop him.
That's the end of Ewing Oil.
One million barrels at $40 a barrel is $40 million minus Harwood Oil's 500.
000 barrels at $34 a barrel, that's 17.
Seventeen from 40.
$23 million of profit.
Well.
That's not too shabby.
Hello.
Walt.
- How we coming with that new tanker? - It'll be in Galveston, day after tomorrow.
Good.
Good.
And the price? Did you reconfirm with the Cubans? Yes.
J.
R.
.
$40 a barrel.
We've gone over that already.
Well.
The price is important to me.
Walt.
It's important to me too.
Forty dollars per.
That's the deal.
Now.
My end is set.
Is yours? There's one minor detail I won't be sure about until tomorrow - but it'll work out.
- I hope so.
And since we're double-checking everything.
Let's reconfirm my fee.
A half a million dollars, correct? Walt.
When it comes to money.
I have total recall.
Don't be so nervous.
I'm not nervous but my stake in this is as important to me as yours is to you.
Well.
Of course it is.
Ever since I got you your variance my life's been going in the wrong direction.
Lost my wife, my career.
My friends.
That half-a-million-dollar commission is gonna give me a new lease on life.
I'm even hoping to get Carol back.
Oh.
I'm sure you will.
Listen.
Just stop worrying.
All right? You take care of your end.
I'll take care of mine.
- Is that a guarantee? - Only if you don't screw up.
Let's try again.
Here.
Here's another little star.
Wanna try another little star? Try over here.
Try over here.
- Hello? - Pam? - Nu, this is Katherine.
- Hello.
It's Mark Graison.
- Oh.
Mark.
How are you? - I'm fine.
Ls Pamela there? No.
She's out shopping.
Well.
It wasn't important anyway.
Oh.
Mark.
I'm sort of I'm sort of glad that you called.
There's something I'd like to talk to you about.
Go ahead.
Well.
I really can't discuss it over the phone.
Could we.
Say.
Meet for lunch? Sure.
I'll be at the club playing racquetball.
Maybe you'd wanna stop by around 12 or so.
Oh.
Wonderful.
All right.
It's the Southern Athletic on First.
Okay.
I'll be there.
Bye.
Good.
Okay.
Bobby.
hi.
- Well.
Hello.
Afton.
- You like? Oh.
That's beautiful.
Don't tell me Cliff broke down and bought you something? - No.
I bought it myself.
- Well.
That figures.
Bobby.
Since Rebecca died.
He hasn't been himself.
Well.
That might be an improvement for Cliff.
Wait a minute.
Now.
Cliff has had some real problems but he's getting over them and I'm not so sure he would have if it hadn't been for Pamela.
Oh.
Is that what she's been doing? Helping Cliff? I'm really sorry about what happened with the two of you.
But if she hadn't gotten Cliff going by bringing him that deal from Mark Graison - Well.
I don't know.
- Mark Graison? She convinced him to buy this small company that Mark owned.
You know.
I think getting him back to work again has really picked him up.
- We owe a lot to Pam.
- Yes.
We do.
It's amazing how nice she can be to some people.
Isn't it? Bobby.
I really am sorry about the two of you.
I know, l - Goodbye.
- Bye.
I heard about it, Henry.
And you are absolutely right.
I agree with you.
Look.
Henry.
I'll tell you what.
Why don't you bring it up at the next commission meeting and we'll see if we can't get it through.
Okay.
You too.
Goodbye.
- Hello.
Mickey.
- Hi.
- Is Ray here? - No.
Well.
I guess he'll be here any minute.
Huh? We're supposed to go someplace together.
Well.
If you're gonna wait, why don't you make yourself a cup of coffee? Yeah.
Boy.
I tell you.
You know.
It's amazing.
What's amazing? Well.
That people as rich as you and Ray live in a house like this.
You don't approve of the way that we live? This place? Oh.
I don't know.
It's I guess it's all right for a ranch hand.
I tell you.
I've seen better-looking tract houses.
You know.
Mickey.
Ray buiIt this house with his own two hands.
You know.
I built a dog house once with my own two hands.
Doesn't mean I'd live in it.
Sorry.
It was just a joke.
Tell you one thing.
Though if I came in to one-tenth the kind of money you two had I'd get me a house that showed it.
Something like Southfork.
I mean.
You have to admit.
There's a fine-looking house.
Yes.
It's quite a house.
Full of loving and warm.
Tender people.
Money means a lot to you, doesn't it? Well.
I wouldn't mind having a little.
Is that why you're so interested in Lucy? No.
You're real wrong about that.
- Am I? - I really wanna know something.
What is it that you have against me.
Anyway? What did I ever do to you? Come on.
Really.
I mean.
Is it because once I got in trouble in Kansas? Because Ray had to bail me out? What? No.
No.
It isn't that.
I happen to think that everybody is entitled to a few mistakes.
Then what? I wanna know.
All right.
I'm gonna tell you.
Because you are a cocky.
Snotty little kid.
And Ray happens to think the world of you.
He has a great big emotional investment in you.
And I just keep thinking that one of these days you are gonna let him down with a great big thud.
I won't let Ray down.
Look.
Yes.
I have screwed up in the past but I'm really trying to straighten myself out.
Maybe you are.
Maybe I am the one that's wrong.
I hope so.
I wouldn't hurt Ray.
Not if I can help it.
I hope not.
Oh.
Sorry I'm late.
No.
It's all right.
I just got here.
- Well.
You ready to go? - Yeah.
- Here.
I'll take that.
It's okay.
- Sorry.
- Well.
Let's go.
Then.
- Yeah.
- You okay.
Honey? - I'm fine.
Bye.
.
J.
R.
Ewing an line one, Miss Harwood.
- Hello? - Ha! I"y.
It's J.
R.
I wanna see you right away.
- I'm surly, I'm busy all day.
- Cancel something.
- J.
R.
- This is important.
Holly.
- Meet me In! Lunch? Madison 's, 12:30.
- All right.
J.
R.
Twelve-thirty.
It's just so frustrating.
I wanna do something.
I just don't know what.
Well.
If Bobby and Pam decide to get back together again.
They will.
In the meantime.
There's nothing anybody can do.
I know that.
You're absolutely right.
But I do worry.
They seemed so solid.
- The perfect couple.
- Yes.
They were.
Isn't it strange? I'd have thought if there were problems they would've been in your marriage.
Not theirs.
I'm working at my marriage.
Miss Ellie.
So is J.
R.
We made a commitment to each other on our honeymoon.
He's a different man.
I just know that.
I'm glad to hear that.
I'm gonna do everything I can to make sure that we never break up again.
Good.
Mom.
I'm hungry.
And now I think it's time for you to feed your son.
Are you starving? Friend of yours? - Little too young.
- Yeah.
Really.
Here we go.
Mark.
- That's the game.
- All right.
Your game's getting a lot better.
I want a rematch.
- If I can walk.
- Okay.
I'll give you a week.
- See you next week.
- Bye.
- Have a seat.
- Okay.
- You found the place all right.
Huh? - Oh.
Yeah.
No trouble.
So.
What's on your mind? Well.
I don't wanna make a big thing out of it.
- Okay.
Forget it.
- Oh.
No.
No.
Wait.
Wait.
Well.
I just wanted you to know how much Pam and I appreciate what you've done for Cliff.
You mean by foisting my company off on him.
I have been trying for years to get that white elephant off my back.
Mark.
All right.
I'm glad it helped Cliff.
Well.
Actually.
I wanted to thank you for the warmth that you've shown to Pam.
You know.
She's going through a rough time right now.
And it's really good for her to know that you're there.
I don't even know if I should be.
I'm finding it more and more difficult to be just her friend.
That's all she wants.
- What do you mean? - She's made it very clear she doesn't want any involvements.
And I don't wanna cause any more problems for her and Bobby.
Oh.
Believe me.
You're not the cause of their problems.
Well I don't quite know what to think.
Mark.
Pam is my sister.
I'm very close to her.
And I know how much she values you.
- Really? - Really.
Well.
Okay.
If you say so.
I do.
- Now.
How about that lunch? - I'd love it.
All right.
I'm gonna run through that shower and I'll meet you here in 10 minutes.
Can I get you a cocktail? - I'd like some champagne.
- Bourbon and branch.
All right.
So Why'd I have to break my lunch date? You remember that shipment of crude we made to Puerto Rico? Well.
It went through like greased lightning.
And they want another one.
This time for one million barrels.
A million barrels? - Not at $20 a barrel.
- Thirty-four.
Holly.
I'm sure even you know that $34 a barrel is the top price these days.
- Go on.
- All right.
I have a half million barrels and Harwood has a half million.
It's very important we combine these in one shipment.
So I want you to buy my half million from Petra State.
Just on paper.
Then we'll bill it out from Harwood.
Well.
If this is such a good deal.
Why do I have to buy your oil? I'll ship my half-million barrels.
You ship yours.
Holly.
Look.
I have an image to protect.
Now.
How's it gonna look if I close gasoline stations because I can't keep them supplied and then ship oil out of state because there's a better price out there? - I don't know about this.
- You don't? Well.
Let me tell you something.
For a young lady who's made an awful lot of money out of my advice I'm getting a little tired seeing this suspicion on your face every time I come up with a deal.
Now.
I want a signed receipt for the transfer of a half a million barrels of Petro State crude to Harwood.
I want an order to your production chief.
Telling him to get a half million barrels ready for shipment from Harwood.
And I'll take care of all the paperwork.
The collection, shipment and so forth.
J.
R.
.
I need some time to think about this.
- I don't have any time, Holly.
- Well.
You better make some.
Because I won't make a decision like that right now.
- Hello? - Bobby, it's Holly Harwood.
Oh.
Hello.
Holly.
I'm really sorry to bother you at home like this.
But I have a problem.
What's that? Didn't you want me ta tell you I! .
J.
R.
was shipping mare ail nut u! The country? - Ls he? - A million barrels' worth.
Half million of mine, half million of his.
- We'd better talk.
Holly.
- I was hoping you'd say that.
- Can we meet in the morning? - Sure.
- Eight o'clock.
Your office.
- Fine.
- Thanks.
Bobby.
- Thank you.
Oh.
Louise.
Would you get that please? You're still hungry.
I can't believe it.
Hello.
Ls this the house where Christopher lives? Oh.
What is that? Is this where Christopher lives? Well.
Yes.
But he was just about to go to sleep.
Oh.
Good.
I'm just in time.
Then.
He said we could have a sleepover party.
Well.
This is the place.
But there's no sleepover party.
Oh.
I knew it.
Just like a mother.
Say hello to your new best friend.
Oh.
Mark.
That's so sweet.
Thank you.
Oh.
I remember when I was a kid.
I used to love huge toys like this.
Louise.
Would you put Christopher to bed.
And his new best friend? Come on.
Night-night.
- Oh.
I'll get it.
- It's a busy place.
Yes.
It is.
- Come in.
- Where would you like me to set it up? Put it right there.
- Thank you.
- Thank you.
Don't tell me you dine alone every night.
- More often than not.
- That's terrible.
- Why? - Lf I were you.
I'd go out with me.
Well.
My dinner's already here.
Save it for a rainy day.
I know a great place not far from here.
- Sorry.
I don't think it would be right.
- You afraid of being seen with me? - No.
It's not that.
- It probably is.
This place is perfect.
Nobody ever goes there.
- Why? Ls it that private? - No.
The food's that bad.
Shall we? I'd really like that.
I'll say good night to Christopher.
Great.
A million barrels at $34 a barrel.
Seventeen million for you and 17 for J.
R.
That boils down to a pretty good-sized profit.
I know it sounds good.
But something worries me about it.
First of all.
Why does he have to bring that dummy corporation of his - back into the picture again? - Keep his name out of it.
Yeah.
Well.
He said he wants to protect his image with the man on the street.
Come on.
I can't believe it's the man on the street that he's really worried about.
What he said was.
He didn't wanna get caught selling oil out of state when he was closing down his gas stations for lack of supply.
That's a wonderful excuse.
I'd believe it if it came from anyone but my brother.
- Then where's the flaw in the deal? - I don't know.
But I have a gut feeling there is one.
If it were you, Bobby.
What would you do? Holly.
I'd pass.
Even with the profit potential? - I mean.
He is putting up half the oil.
- I know it sounds good but what's good for J.
R.
is not necessarily good for you.
- When does he want this to happen? - I think within the next couple of days.
Couple“? That's not enough time.
There's something definitely wrong with this deal.
Holly.
I can't put my finger on it.
But it just smells bad.
I know.
I had the same feeling.
I guess I just wanted you to confirm it.
I'd let this one go by.
Tell J.
R Tell him.
no.
Bobby.
I can't tell you how much I appreciate being able to talk to you like this.
I'm as close as a phone.
- Hello? - Mrs.
Ewing? - Y es? - Good morning.
This is Roy Ralston.
Oh, hello.
How are you? Just fine, thanks.
- Ls your husband around, by any chance? - He's just rushing to leave right now.
Don't disturb him.
I made him a proposition.
I wondered if he had any time to consider it.
Yes.
He told me about all that mail you brought him.
That's really something.
Yes.
It is.
And I'd like to set up a meeting and get things going for him.
- All right.
I'll talk to J.
R.
and we'll - Mrs.
Ewing let him know that I'm quite serious about this.
And I hope that you can work right along with us.
Well.
Maybe so.
We'll talk later.
Bye-bye.
Thank you.
Bye-bye.
- Who was that? - That was Roy Ralston.
- What's he got? More mail? - He really didn't say.
He wants to set up a meeting with you.
Is he talking about you running for office? That's right.
Let me help.
I could take care of all the little details.
- Please.
Let me just talk to him.
- Okay.
Sure.
Why not? I'll tell you what.
You call him back.
See what's on his mind.
- I'll try to shake loose for a meeting.
- Oh.
Thank you.
J.
R.
You'd really enjoy working alongside of me.
Wouldn't you? More than anything.
Well.
Don't you go making any commitments I'd have to break, honey.
- I gotta go to work.
- Okay.
Bye.
Darling.
Phyllis.
Get me Eugene Bullock on the phone.
Please.
And while I'm talking to him.
Would you pull all the records for cables.
Telegrams.
Phone calls.
Things like that? - How far back? - Three months, I guess.
Yes.
Sir.
- Bullock Enterprises.
- Bobby Ewing for Mr.
Eugene Bullock.
Yeah.
Bobby, Eugene Bullock on line two.
Thank you.
Mr.
Eugene.
Good morning.
Well.
Hello.
Bobby.
What can I do for you? I'd like you to nail down a rumor.
If you would.
- Well, w hat area? - Imp art-Exp art.
I heard J.
R.
is gonna be exporting a massive amount of oil in the next couple of days in the direction of Puerto Rico.
Now, it could go out as Petra State, or under any other name.
- Well.
How much is massive? - One million barrels.
That's massive.
And I have not heard a thing about it.
Which is surprising.
- Will you check it out for me? - Well.
I'd be happy to.
I shouldn't have any trouble getting somebody's tongue to wag about a shipment that big.
Thank you.
Mr.
Eugene.
This is just between the two of us.
Of course.
Well.
Of course.
Of course.
I'll get on it for you right away.
Thank you very much.
Well.
It's very nice.
Mrs.
Finch.
But I just don't think it's for me.
I find these properties around here just too close together.
This house is on an acre.
When it comes right down to it.
I guess what I'm really interested in is land.
You won't find large spreads for sale close to Dallas.
Well.
We'll keep looking.
All right.
I'll keep checking the new listings and let you know when I find anything that comes close.
- Much obliged.
- Goodbye.
- Goodbye.
Thank you.
- Thank you.
Clayton.
Are you sorry that you sold the Southern Cross? No.
I'm happy to be moving to Dallas.
But I need land.
I realize it more and more I take a look at these city-type houses.
- You'll find something.
- Sure.
I will.
Something open.
Where you can see the horizon.
Something like Southfork.
I'm afraid there's only one Southfork.
That's true enough.
It's a very special place.
Yes.
It is.
Yeah.
Here are the telephone and cable records you wanted.
Oh.
Phyllis.
Come in and close the door.
- Are you locking for a particular number? - Well.
Actually.
A particular area.
- Can I help? - Yeah.
I'm looking for anything going to or coming from the Caribbean.
Puerto Rico? Why? The other day.
J.
R.
got a call from there.
He wasn't in.
But I heard Sly take the message.
- You happen to hear who it was from? - Yes.
The call was from WaIt Driscoll.
- Walt Driscoll? - I was surprised too.
The message was that he was flying in to Dallas that day to see J.
R.
Driscoll and J.
R.
Do you remember when those two guys from the OLM were here? Clay and that other one? That was right after J.
R.
got his variance.
And they had a feeling that Driscoll and J.
R.
might be working together.
I remember.
Wouldn't it be funny if after all this time.
They were right? J.
R.
.
I'm trying to get dressed to go out.
I appreciate that.
Holly.
I won't be here longer than the time it takes you to sign this little authorization.
I've not decided to do that deal.
Holly.
I know you're new to the oil business but there's one thing you simply gotta learn.
It runs on schedule.
It doesn't have time for dippy ladies to make up their minds.
- J.
R - Just sign right there.
No.
J.
R.
.
I can't.
I just don't trust the deal.
Well.
I don't care what you don't trust.
Here.
Read this.
And you'll see why you're gonna make this deal.
This is just one of those blank authorizations I signed months ago.
Yeah.
I thought you might recognize it.
What it does is give Petro State exclusive rights to distribute not only Harwood crude but also the total output of gasoline from your refineries.
You control all our distribution? Oh.
No.
I don't.
But Petro State does.
And.
Of course.
I control Petro State.
Now.
Tell me.
What do you think would happen if Petra State, on my orders - decided to lock up Harwood products? - I could break the contract.
No court would uphold that.
Yes.
Perhaps.
But.
You know.
That could take time.
Maybe years.
You'll find that pipes tend to rust up if there's no oil flowing through them.
And besides, the world would find out that you and I are partners not only in Harwood Oil.
But in all those gasoline stations.
Taking me to court.
That could be a lot messier than signing that authorization.
You are the most despicable human being.
That may be so.
But I'm also in a hurry.
Now.
This deal could win me Ewing Oil, Holly.
If I lose it because you won't sign.
I'll make sure you lose far more.
Now.
Scribble your name on that paper.
And you can go out and play.
- Good night.
- Good night, ladies.
Good night.
Are you sure you don't want me to stay? No.
I'm gonna finish this.
And I'll be gone in a few minutes.
- Okay.
Good night.
Bobby.
- Good night.
Walt Driscoll.
All right.
Dobey Motel.
Yeah.
Is Walt Driscoll there? Just a minute, please.
No, looks like he': Gone out.
You wanna leave a message? No.
No.
I'll just I'll call him back.
Thank you.
I'm worn out.
That's it.
I need to get a drink.
I only wanna sit for a while.
Then I'm gonna get you back up there.
- No.
No.
- Yes.
Come on.
Sit down.
- Move it.
- That was fun.
- Excuse me.
- Make room.
Pardon me.
It certainly is nice to see you a little more cheerful.
Why.
Was I down? No.
You're just being a little less nasty.
- I haven't been nasty lately.
Have I? - No more than usual.
I don't know.
What is it about me that tees people off? - Like who? Ray? - No.
no.
Ray and I are getting along great.
- It's Donna.
- Donna? She and I are like fire and oil.
Well.
Did you say something to get her mad? I don't think so.
She's just afraid that I'm gonna screw up and hurt Ray.
- Oh.
Don't let it bother you, okay? - It does.
Well.
Then.
You'll just have to prove that she's wrong.
Come on.
- Hello? - Eugene Bullock here.
Mr.
Eugene.
Good morning.
Bobby, there are a couple of Liberian-registry tankers loading in Galveston right now.
And the cargo is one million barrels of crude.
- Is that so? - And another thing the man who booked the vessels.
And is overseeing the loading he's from Dallas.
He's the former head of the OLM.
- Walt Driscoll? - That's the man.
Now.
The ships are scheduled to sail at noon today for San Juan, Puerto Rico.
But I took it upon myself to check with the dockmaster in San Juan.
And? The ships are not scheduled to arrive there.
Mr.
Eugene.
I have a very unpleasant feeling about all this.
Well.
If he's doing what we talked about once before you better hang up fast.
Bobby.
And stop J.
R.
cold.
Thank you.
Thank you for the information.
- Hello.
- Hello.
Ray.
It's Bobby.
I need your help.
- You mean.
Right now.
Bob? - Ray.
This is an emergency.
I'm at the house.
And I need your help now.
All right.
I'll be right there.
Well.
Now.
Suppose“ Just suppose.
I did decide to run against Dave Culver.
Could be a tough fight.
He's made a lot of friends.
True.
But he's made a lot of enemies too.
I managed to get a copy of his voting record and it's not nearly as good as most Texans think it is.
He's on record against your inexpensive gas prices.
That's true.
Look.
I'm not a political man.
I'm an interviewer.
But I think we can use that record against him.
So old Dave's not invulnerable.
That's right.
And once we turn the spotlight on you you'll be the one people are talking about.
And we'll make sure the public knows every move you make.
This spotlight you're talking about.
Does that include both of us? Of course it does.
We're in this together.
I'm afraid of something.
J.
R.
I'd hate for what I did in the past to harm you in any way.
Excuse me.
I don't quite understand.
So you were divorced.
But you're remarried now.
That's true, but there was a period when I had a problem with alcohol.
And I lived with another man for a while.
Don't you think the Culver side will take advantage of that? They might.
But I think we can use my show to point out that you two have overcome all that.
That despite all your earlier problems you're together again.
More in love than ever before.
I can just see it: True love conquers all.
Crooked path straightens out.
Now.
The public loves that sort of happy ending.
I don't know.
The man's talking about taking our problems and turning them into virtues.
Exactly.
Well.
I don't want my life to become an open book.
But if you want me to do it.
J.
R.
.
I will.
I'm touched.
Sue Ellen.
I truly am.
- You sure Driscoll's here? - I said he was.
Didn't I? - I checked it out.
- Hey.
Don't get edgy.
He's gotta come out of there tonight.
He hasn't even had dinner yet.
That's him.
Get down.
Let's go.
- It's locked.
- Okay.
Excuse me.
Sorry to bother you.
I locked myself out of my room.
I thought maybe you could help me out.
I'm right here in 115.
- Hey.
Come on.
I won't do it again.
- I've heard that one before.
All right.
Come on.
That's great.
Here you go.
Thank you.
Come on.
You check the room.
I'll go through his clothes.
I got a passport and an airplane ticket.
Where's he going? He's booked to San Juan, Puerto Rico.
Tomorrow afternoon.
- Bobby.
- According to this he's been in and out of the Caymans several times.
- What do you got there? - Cameras.
Film - What's that? - Must be the combination to the case.
- What do you got? - False bottom.
Well.
You could transport a lot of cash in there.
Another passport.
It's got his picture unit.
But he's using a phony name.
It's British.
- What's he doing with a phony passport? - To get in and out of a country he doesn't want our State Department to know he's traveling to.
A country that just might have an embargo placed on it and a country that J.
R.
might be selling oil to.
Check the stamps on that thing.
It's Cuba.
According to this.
He's been in and out three times.
You mean.
J.
R.
is selling oil to Cuba? That's the way I read it.
And he's getting papers from somebody that Driscoll bribes to make it look like the oil is being purchased by Puerto Rico.
- Brilliant.
- Yeah.
And you know who gave him the idea? Me.
That's what I accused J.
R.
of doing when he still had his variance.
He was pumping all that crude out of the ground.
I couldn't think of anything he'd do with it.
Except sell it to another country.
Before you knew he bought all those gas stations.
That's right.
I don't know much about the oil business.
Bobby but I don't imagine the Federal Government'd be happy to know that J.
R.
's selling oil to Cuba.
Ray.
Unhappy's not the word for it.
If J.
R.
is selling to an embargoed country and our government finds out about it.
And we don't stop him that's the end of Ewing Oil.
Where the hell have you been? - Easy.
J.
R.
I'm only five minutes late.
- Sit down.
Sit down.
- Fill me in.
- Everything's fine.
Both tankers left on schedule.
They're on their way.
- Talked to your contact in Puerto Rico? - He's got the papers.
How about the money? I don't want any of this doubling up.
Don't worry.
He's very happy with his 100.
000.
He ought to be.
I can't afford any slip-ups.
Neither can I.
I told you how much I have riding on this.
What about you? Did you solve your problem? Don't you worry about me, Driscoll.
I'll take care of my end.
Tonight.
I want you to go over every detail.
I don't want anything to go wrong.
I'll see you tomorrow.
After I get the payoff money from the bank.
Well.
It's a tense time in the old breakfast room today.
Isn't it? - What's the matter with you guys? - Mind your own business, Lucy.
J.
R.
- I could've eaten in my own room.
- You still have that option.
- Morning.
Everyone.
Miss Ellie.
- Ray.
- Bobby.
Could I see you for a minute? - Sure.
I was just leaving anyway.
Oh.
Goody.
Now it's just us.
Lucy.
Eat your breakfast.
It's getting cold.
I'm sure it is.
It's colder than a meat locker in this place.
- I got the case.
- Does it look like Driscoll's? See for yourself.
It's perfect.
The combination's set like his? The same.
- And the sketch? - Inside.
All right.
You know what to do.
Call me when you're set.
I'll be ready to move.
You got it.
What I need is a piece of foam rubber.
Cut out just like that.
To fit this case.
I also need these areas cut out to house the equipment, as it's shown there.
- No problem.
- I'd like to wait for it.
Well.
It'll take about half an hour.
Twenty minutes would be a lot better for me.
- Well.
I'll try.
- I appreciate it.
Thank you.
Room 115.
please.
Driscoll? J.
R.
here.
I'm gonna stop at the bank.
And I'll meet you at the bar.
I think this is it.
Okay.
Perfect.
I'll need all the equipment just like it's called out on the diagram.
All right.
- You check everything? - Yeah.
You're gonna count it here? You're sure you double-checked? I don't want anything to go wrong.
Couldn't be easier.
By the time I land in Puerto Rico the oil will have reached Havana.
The man from Cuba gives me the 40 million I give the Puerto Rican his 100.
000.
And he gives me the paper that shows that Puerto Rico just bought one million barrels of crude from Harwood Oil.
And you show up back here and give me the money and the papers.
- Minus my cut.
- Yes.
Minus your cut.
- See you tonight.
- No slip-ups.
- Neither one of us can afford it.
- I know.
I'll get it, Pam.
Hello.
Katherine.
- Hi.
I've decided to join the human race.
- Oh.
I'm so glad you're here.
You were right.
Pam.
You were right too.
I've been acting like a jerk.
I do have an obligation to fulfill to the company for Mama and I've started to take steps toward it.
What did you do? I met with Mark Graison.
And I bought that company of his.
Oh.
That's wonderful! And I wanna tell you something about that guy.
I like him.
I really like him.
He's a nice guy.
Well.
We all seem to be unanimous about Mark Graison.
I'm so happy you two hit it off.
- Why don't we all go out and celebrate? - That's a good idea.
- I know this - Chinese restaurant.
- Yeah.
- Good.
You're buying.
Hey.
Wait a minute.
How'd I get roped into this? You guys are fast.
All right.
I'll be right back.
I'm gonna go change.
Okay, okay, you go change and while you're changing.
I wanna go see my nephew.
- Where's Christopher? - You haven't seen him in a while.
- I haven't seen him.
Ls he talking? - "ls he talking?“ - I don't know.
Is he talking? - Maybe today.
Ray.
What's going on there? Driscoll went back to his room.
He looked like he's in a hurry.
All right.
I'm on my way.
You keep him busy if you have to.
- Call Ted also.
Let him know.
- Right.
- Bobby.
There was a call for - I'll be back later.
- Goodbye.
Mr.
Ewing.
- Goodbye.
Kendal.
- Have a nice day.
- Thank you.
- Oh.
Hello.
Bob.
You going out? - Yes.
J.
R.
As a matter of fact, I am.
You may need a little breath of fresh air.
- It's gonna be a day to remember.
- Ls that right? Oh.
It'll be a red-letter day for my half of the company.
Maybe you're right, J.
R.
Maybe it will be a day to remember.
