Dallas s06e26 Episode Script

I saw you and Holly in bed.
Don't fly off the handle.
I can explain all of this.
- Don't you touch me! - Darling What is Katherine to you? Right now.
Katherine is about the best friend I have in the whole world.
And that's it.
Final.
Period! - You go to sleep.
- No.
I like that little tune.
Why'd you turn it off? Well.
I'm just exhausted.
J.
R.
It's been a real exciting day and night.
It sure has.
You're quite a man.
J.
R.
Sue Ellen's lucky to have you.
Why do you have to talk about Sue Ellen at a time like this? Because you are married and somehow I feel a little guilty about this.
Holly.
You don't have to make a federal case out of a little romp in the hay.
What Sue Ellen doesn't know is not gonna hurt her.
That's true.
Well.
I'll call you when I get back.
- You going out of town? - Just for a few days.
Little family business to take care of.
Well.
Don't be away too long.
This can become habit-forming.
You know.
Well.
We'll see how you feel when I get back.
Couple of days is not gonna make that much difference.
You never know.
J.
R.
AlrightY- Oh.
That was delicious.
Thank you.
I can't tell you how nice it is to have a full dinner table again.
It was full.
All right.
Like the old days.
That was a really fine dinner.
Mrs.
Ewing.
Call me Ellie.
And I'm so happy you're here.
Raymond's told me a great deal about you.
- Has he? - Yes.
He told me how fine you were to him when you found out that your husband was his father.
That was a wonderful thing to do.
Well.
I consider Ray one of my sons as much as any of the other boys.
In some ways.
EVEN more.
We think alike about many things.
Yes.
Ma'am.
What can I get you? What would you like.
Ma'am? Vodka.
On the rocks.
Please.
Good night.
Grandma.
We're gonna run.

Clayton.
Mama.
You looked absolutely radiant tonight.
I must say.
It's been along time since we had that many people at dinner.
- Ewing residence.
- No arguments, no nasty remarks.
- Just people enjoying each other.
- One moment.
I certainly had a good time.
Excuse me.
Mr.
Ewing.
It's long distance for you.
I'll be right back.
- Hello.
- Hello.
Bobby.
It's Pam.
Well.
Hello.
Pamela.
I wasn't expecting to hear from you tonight.
- Are you all right? - No.
I'm not.
I'm very upset.
- What's wrong? - I had a strange phone call earlier.
- What about? - About you.
Katherine and Christopher.
- Pamela.
What about us? - I'm leaving In! The airport in a while.
I'm coming out to Southfork.
I wanna see you and Christopher.
Honey.
I don't have the slightest idea what you're talking about but we'll be here.
Just wait for me at Southfork.
And I'll see you tomorrow.
Goodbye.
Another one please.
You sure? You've had quite a few.
Don't you worry about me.
Of course I'm sure.
Yes.
712.
please.
All right.
Thank you very much.
Bartender.
Where's my other drink? You said you'd give me another drink.
Good evening.
Good evening.
My name's Avery.
I'm the manager here.
Hello.
Avery.
You know.
I just like this place so much and I swear to you.
I'm gonna drink here all the time.
- It'd be our pleasure to have you back.
- Thank you.
But there's no sense in having you try to drink it all in one night.
Sure there is.
Because the glass is empty.
Why don't I call a cab and have you driven home? Well.
Thank you very much but.
Well.
Avery.
I'm not going home.
Please.
Why don't I have you driven wherever you're going? That's very kind of you but I don't know where I'm going.
Thank you.
Well.
I think it's about time for me to be leaving.
Well.
I'll walk you out.
Good night.
Bobby.
- Bobby? - Oh.
I'm sorry.
Good night.
Clayton.
Bye-bye.
I feel sorry for Bobby.
That separation from Pam And then that phone call from her tonight.
I'm very worried about them.
Oh.
Hello.
Clayton.
You here again? As long as your mother asks.
I'll be here.
J.
R.
And it was a pleasant evening till now.
If you're going someplace.
Don't let me hold you up.
J.
R.
Hey.
Bob.
You have a nice evening with Mama and Clayton? Sue Ellen upstairs already? - No.
She wasn't here.
- Well.
Where is she? I don't know.
She told me she had a meeting with Holly Harwood.
She was going over there for some reason.
Well.
You must've heard her wrong.
Because I was just with Holly settling up some details on my little Cuban triumph.
The one that's gonna win me Ewing Oil.
You know what you can do with your Cuban triumph.
All I know is, Sue Ellen told me she was going over to Holly Harwood's.
Well.
I didn't see her there.
So I guess she didn't go there after all.
She'll be home any minute now with some sort of an explanation.
All my life up to now I've been pretty satisfied just being me having a few bucks in my pocket.
No worries.
- You have worries now? - Not exactly.
Just.
For the first time.
I wish I was doing better making something of myself.
I mean.
I'm the 50th ranch hand on a 49-hand ranch.
Why this sudden burst of ambition? I guess it's you.
L just wish I had more could do more.
Then maybe we wouldn't have to end up in some dumb motel.
I could buy a house or something.
What happened to the Kansas City gold digger? I thought you were happy that I was gonna buy a condo.
No.
I am.
- I don't know.
It's just - Please don't get noble on me.
I really can't handle noble.
- You can't handle noble? - No way.
Besides.
You and noble just don't go together.
And what is that supposed to mean? It means I like you just the way you are.
You're grumpy and raspy on the outside.
And a little butter-heart on the inside.
- Me.
A butter-heart? - Yes.
You.
And you like me? I like you.
Sue Ellen.
Sue Ellen.
Sue Ellen.
Clayton.
Clayton.
Where have you been? I've been calling you all night.
What are you doing here? You're the only one in the world that loves me.
- Sue Ellen.
Please.
- Oh.
Clayton.
I know that you love me.
- And you'd be true to me.
- Sue Ellen.
Please.
Lie back down.
Do you wanna make love to me? Please.
We'll talk about it in the morning.
You've always wanted me.
And now I want you.
- You go to sleep.
- No.
See how nice it would be.
Clayton? Good boy.
That was good.
That was for cousin Lucy.
Now we're gonna do one for Uncle Ray.
Not Uncle Ray Well.
Welcome home.
Look who's here.
Mommy's home.
Bobby.
Why'd you bring Christopher back here? Well.
Because I'm his father.
And I figured he was better off here with me when you're not around.
- I'm taking him home with me now.
- Well.
Fine.
You're acting like I was trying to kidnap him or something.
After that call, I didn't know what to think.
I was afraid you might keep him.
Well.
Who called you and told you something like that? Well.
It really doesn't matter.
What matters is I was frightened.
I just figured that Christopher was better off here with me than in a hotel room with a nurse.
- Oh.
Teresa.
- Yes.
Ma'am? Come here.
Please.
Would you take Christopher upstairs and get his things? Of course.
Come on, Christopher.
Well.
How long has it been since I've seen you? A week? And you come roaring in here like I'm public enemy number one? It wasn't me who ran off to France.
What have you been doing since I left? Boy.
That must've been some phone call you got.
What's going on between you and Katherine? What makes you think there's anything going on between us? She's your sister.
That's not an answer to my question.
It's the only answer you deserve right now.
What is Katherine to you? You really wanna know? All right.
All right.
I'll tell you.
She's everything that you should be.
But aren't.
She's doing everything she can to help me.
She really cares whether I win or lose.
She listens to me.
And she really tries to understand.
And you know what's funny about all that? Rebecca was her mother too.
Pam.
Yet she doesn't blame me for what happened to her.
I guess what it comes down to is that right now Katherine is about the best friend I have in the whole world.
And that's it.
Final.
Period! Can you say the same thing about Mark Graison? Is he just a friend to you? I don't know.
Bobby.
Well.
That about says it, doesn't it? This isn't how I wanted things to work out at all.
- That makes it sound pretty final.
- I don't want it to be.
I tell you what.
Why don't you go get Christopher take him back to the hotel and maybe we'll talk sometime.
- Clayton.
- Hey.
- Good morning.
- Good morning.
You gave me quite a surprise last night.
It's been a little while since I found a lady in my bed.
Well.
I'm terribly sorry.
But I really didn't have another place to go.
No.
No.
It's all right.
But I would like to know a couple of things.
All right.
Why are you here? But above that.
Why in God's name did you start drinking? For the same reason I do almost everything I shouldn't: J.
R.
Well.
I could've guessed that.
But what happened? No matter how hard it is for me to believe you two did seem happy together.
Didn't we? Well there's nobody to blame but me.
I believed him.
He promised me there would be no games and no other women and I did believe him until last night.
Last night? I saw him with my very own eyes.
And all those vows and promises didn't mean anything.
Then all I wanted to do was forget everything I saw.
He and Holly Harwood.
So I just drove around.
And I went to a little bar.
And I wanted to drink so much so that everything would get out of my mind.
And I tried calling you.
Clayton.
I'm afraid that the entire hotel staff thinks you have a terrible drunk for a sister.
Why would they think that? I convinced them that that's who I was and they let me in.
I'm glad they did.
But I don't think you should stay here.
But I have to.
At least for a little while anyway.
I can't go back to Southfork.
There's no place else for me to go.
Well.
What about your townhouse? I sold that when I remarried J.
R.
Well.
I think you should call the ranch.
They must be very worried about you.
Yeah.
I know.
But not now.
Do you think I could take a shower? Well.
Why don't we get you a room here at the hotel? No.
Clayton.
I I just can't be alone right now.
All right.
You take a shower.
And I'll order up some food.
Thank you.
- Good morning.
Doris.
- Good morning.
Bobby.
- Good morning.
- Good morning.
Mail's on your desk, and the morning paper.
There's a very interesting article.
Thank you.
Well.
Well.
Yeah.
Bobby, Mrs.
Ewing's on line one.
- Pamela? - Nu, sir.
It's Sue Ellen Ewing In! You.
Thank you.
Sue Ellen.
Where the hell are you? You scared us to death.
Bobby.
I'm all right.
- But where are you? Are you home? - Nu, I'm staying with same friends.
But I won't be coming back to Southfork for a while.
I don't think I could stand seeing J.
R.
Oh.
Sue Ellen.
- Is there anything I can do? - No.
Thank you very much for asking.
Bobby.
But everything's already been done.
Bye-bye.
Phyllis let me know as soon as J.
R.
gets in.
And get me my mother at the ranch.
Yes, sir.
- Morning.
Doris.
- Good morning.
J.
R.
- Ladies.
- Morning.
Good morning.
Mail's on your desk.
Thank you.
J.
R.
just came in.
J.
R.
.
I wanna talk to you.
Well.
I'm not sure I wanna talk to you at this hour of the morning.
Bob.
I have some news for you from Sue Ellen.
- Oh.
You heard from Sue Ellen, did you? - Yeah.
She called me.
Well.
Why didn't she call me? I got the distinct impression she didn't wanna talk to you or see you.
Or know if you were alive.
- Where is she? - I don't know.
She said she's with a friend.
And that she's all right and that she wasn't sure when she'd be returning to Southfork.
Well.
I think you're lying.
Bobby.
- Now.
Why would I do that? - To rattle me.
You wanna take advantage of this problem Sue Ellen and I seem to have.
But it won't work.
I got you between a rock and a hard place.
And I'm not gonna let you up.
You are one of a kind.
They really broke the mold when they made you, and it's a good thing.
Oh.
Did you hear about Walt Driscoll? - No.
What about him? - He disappeared.
He skipped bail.
Maybe he's on his way to Cuba.
But maybe he's on his way to the Justice Department.
We might not have a Ewing Oil left for you to win.
Babe.
You wanna get that? - Hi.
- Hello.
I'm Thornton McLeish.
- I'm Afton Cooper.
Come on in.
- Thank you.
Good morning.
Thornton.
I'm glad you could make it.
I could hardly turn down a home-cooked breakfast.
Not after all the hotel food I've been having.
Afton's a good cook.
You'll like this.
- Sit over there.
- Oh.
Thank you.
Thank you.
I hope you won't be disappointed.
He's not gonna be disappointed.
Not after the good news I've got to tell him.
Sweetheart, can't business wait till after we've finished? Well.
This isn't exactly business this is just an answer to all of Thornton's problems.
- Oh.
Really? - Oh.
Yes.
Siree.
The Tundra Torque, the new drill bit that Wentworth Tool and Die's developed.
Bobby mentioned that.
Thought it was the answer to our North Slope drilling.
Oh.
Sure.
Yeah.
That's when he thought he could use it.
But he can't.
I can.
Now.
If you can persuade Bobby to dissolve his partnership with you I'll take over.
And then I'll give you the bit.
You can start drilling immediately.
And all the profits will be ours.
Well.
Cliff.
It's not all that simple.
I have a check here for $2 million.
Just to show that I really mean business.
And I can have the rest in a day.
I'm sure you can.
But that's not what I meant.
My brother and I went into this deal with Bobby in good faith.
Unless he tells us he wants out.
We'll go along with him.
Can I get you something else.
Mr.
McLeish? Oh.
No.
Thank you.
This is just fine.
Cliff? No.
- Katherine? - Yes.
Come in.
You sounded very upset when you called.
What's wrong? Aren't you going to ask me why I came back so soon? Is there a special reason? I got a very disturbing phone call last night about you and Bobby.
What about us? I got the impression that the two of you were involved.
Oh.
Pam.
You're kidding.
Who was the call from? Cliff? - No.
It was from Afton.
- Well.
That's just about the same thing.
Cliff and I had a huge argument about Bobby.
- Why? - Wentworth Tool and Die has a drill bit that Bobby needs very badly up in Canada.
I want him to have it and Cliff doesn't.
Afton just misinterpreted what was going on.
Why are you so interested in what's happening to Bobby? Because I care about him.
I always have.
But as a brother-in-law.
Nothing more.
Pam.
Look.
He's family.
Why shouldn't I try to help? The whole world's coming down around him.
You fly off to France with Mark Graison.
Looks like he might lose Ewing Oil and maybe even lose you.
What he needs right now is a friend and that's all I'm trying to be.
Katherine.
I'm sorry.
I should've known better.
Just being so far away and getting a phone call like that I understand.
Pam.
Anyway.
It's a good thing you're back.
You obviously didn't reach any decisions about your marriage while you were away.
It looks like you're the one to decide whether Bobby gets that drill bit or not.
Katherine.
I can't handle anything like that right now.
But you've gotta start handling things pretty soon.
Whatever decisions you make you're going to affect all our lives.
Hey.
You haven't eaten a thing.
I'm afraid to.
- I don't think I can keep it down.
- How's your head? The band has stopped playing inside of it.
Still think you ought to eat something then take a nap.
I'll try but I think I'm afraid of what I might see if I close my eyes.
J.
FL.
J.
R.
and Holly and my marriage that was destroyed.
Look.
Sue Ellen.
Before you make any big decisions I think you should see J.
R.
and talk it out with him.
Why? So I can listen to his explanations? I can just hear him say: "You gonna believe me or your lying eyes?“" You can make jokes about it.
Or you can face up to it.
No.
I can't do that right now.
I'm afraid of what might happen if I see him.
Look.
I have to go out for a little while.
Will you be all right? In the condition I'm in.
I'm just fine.
No drinking.
- Just coffee.
- Promise? I'll be back soon.
Back soon.
- Can I bring you another? - Yes.
Please.
Same.
Yes.
Sir.
What's the matter? Can't you find anybody to drink with you? Well.
I wouldn't want you to think you were an exception.
You ought to be glad to see me.
Because I've got some good news for you.
You got a fatal illness? No.
No.
Something you're gonna like better than that.
I'm gonna be the one who decides who controls Ewing Oil.
Why'd you think that would make me happy? Because it's gonna be you.
I know that.
But I don't need you to help me.
- Can I bring you something? - He won't be staying.
- Yes.
Bring me a bourbon and branch.
- Yes.
Sir.
Now.
Don't get me irritated.
J.
R.
I might let Bobby win.
Wentworth Tool and Die has the drill that Bobby wants to bring in that Canadian field and I'm not gonna let him have it.
Why are you being so good to me? Because I want the Canadian field for myself.
- And? - And I want you back at Ewing Oil so when I take it on and destroy it.
I can watch you go down with it.
I gotta hand it to you, Barnes.
I used to think you were just plain stupid.
But not anymore.
No.
I was never stupid.
I now realize that somewhere in that feeble excuse of a brain you really believe you can compete with me.
Now.
You just keep your drill.
And knock Bobby out of the box.
And any time you feel like you can come up against me, go right ahead.
You know.
I almost forgot how much fun it was grinding you into the dirt.
Sue Ellen.
You're back.
I've been waiting for you.
You promised not to drink.
I know I did, but I lied.
Everybody lies except you.
Honorable.
Honorable Clayton.
No.
Don't take my drink away.
- Come on.
Sit down.
- I don't wanna sit down.
- Sit down.
- Do you wanna make love? - Sue Ellen.
It is over.
- Oh.
No.
You make me so happy.
You're the only man that ever loved me.
- Yes.
Who is it? - It's Ellie.
Clayton.
Right there.
Ellie.
Sit down.
I'm not early.
Am I? Sue Ellen.
What are you doing here? What's happened? Call Bobby.
I told him.
Well.
Yes.
He told me that you were with a friend.
I didn't know it was Clayton.
And I still don't understand why you didn't come home.
J.
R.
He did it to me again.
Miss Ellie.
I never should've remarried.
How long has she been here? She was here last night when I got home.
Was she drunk? Now.
Don't you go blaming Clayton for any of this.
Because Do you know that he's the only man that's ever really loved me? Well.
I think we better try to sober you up and get you home.
No! No.
I'm not going home.
Because he's there.
Ellie's right.
Sue Ellen.
Now.
Come on.
You can't stay.
We'll take you in.
You'll sleep it off.
And we'll take you home.
No.
No.
I'm not gonna go home.
I'm gonna stay here right here.
And I'm gonna drink.
Sue Ellen.
Now.
You listen to me.
Get into bed and sleep.
Try to sober up.
And then we're taking you home.
Come on.
I'm sorry.
Ellie.
I really didn't know what to do.
She was in such bad shape last night.
So I let her sleep here.
You don't have to explain it to me.
Clayton.
I just wish you'd called and let me know.
I do have to explain to you.
You're a part of my life now.
And I want you to understand.
She came to me drunk.
She didn't think she had anywhere else to go.
If she has any feelings for me.
She's confused about them.
- And you? - I told you before whatever was between her and me is over.
Or at least.
It's different.
Well.
That may be.
Clayton.
I just wish I'd never come here today.
I wish I'd never seen any of this.
Oh.
I wish you'd have been there.
I mean.
I really got his goat.
He can't stand the fact that I'm the one who's gonna decide who wins Ewing Oil.
Don't you think you're overstating your position a little? No.
I'm not.
I've got him Excuse me.
I've got him right where I want him.
- Pam.
Hi.
When'd you get back? - Today.
Because of your phone call, Afton.
- Well.
Good.
- No.
Not good.
It wasn't true.
- You don't think so? - No.
I don't.
I talked to Bobby and Katherine.
And you were wrong.
- Then you're just as blind as Cliff was.
- Wait a minute.
Maybe Bobby isn't aware of what Katherine is doing but she certainly is.
And what is she doing? She's trying to help Bobby.
And why? Do you think she really cares who wins Ewing Oil? She's just trying to get close to Bobby.
By giving him what he wants from you.
And that includes turning over that drill bit from Wentworth Tool and Die.
Katherine wouldn't do that.
She's my sister.
- Wait.
She might.
She's a beauty.
- That's not funny.
She's been on my case since I met her.
But I don't care about her.
It's you I'm worried about.
- What does that mean? - It means that Bobby wants the drill and so do I.
Katherine wants him to have it.
I don't.
Now.
Whose side are you on? Why does it always come down to taking sides? Because you promised Mama.
You remember? You remember what you told me to get me out of my funk? Do you remember that you said that you would do anything you could to help? I need your help.
- Cliff.
Don't use that.
- Why not? It's true.
You want me to take sides against Bobby? No.
I want you to side with me.
Pam.
Don't listen to him.
- Don't let him put you in this position.
- But he's right.
If I don't let Bobby have that drill, our marriage is over.
He'd never forgive me.
Then let him have it.
And help him win the fight? He's changed so much already.
I hardly know him.
Winning would just finish the job.
Pam.
Look.
If your marriage is over.
Then side with me.
At least keep that much of the family together.
Isn't that what you've always said.
Anyway? "In the end.
All we have is family“?" - Can I help you, Ellie? - No.
We'll manage.
Miss Ellie.
I can go up by myself.
Are you sure you can make it? Miss Ellie.
I I just want you to know that I never meant to hurt you.
You're all right, Ellie? I will be.
It's just a little difficult now.
Bobby and Pam separated.
And now this.
With J.
R.
and Sue Ellen.
Would you like me to stay around for a while? - I'll be all right.
Clayton.
- Sure? I just wanna be alone.
All right.
Bye.
Ellie.
Goodbye.
Clayton.
Well.
It's a good thing one of us can cook.
Oh.
I can do all that good stuff.
I've even figured out a way we could live together.
- Oh.
Yeah? How's that? - Well.
We'll move back to Emporia.
It's a lot cheaper there.
I could get my job back at the gas station and I could probably get you a good job at the packing plant.
Would you really do that for me? Sure thing.
Get you out of all this poverty.
What about making an honest woman out of me? You mean marriage? Listen to how you said that.
Good evening.
J.
R.
Evening.
Lucy - Mickey.
- Mickey.
No.
You bastard! You finally came home.
And you decided to come back to Southfork, I'm happy to see.
- Not because I wanted to.
- I was so worried about you, Sue Ellen.
When were you the most worried? Before or after you made love to Holly Harwood? Just because you saw my car in front of her house doesn't mean anything happened.
Your car? You think this has anything to do with your car? I saw you and Holly in bed.
- You couldn't have.
- Why not? Because you didn't see me? No.
Because you were too damn busy doing other things to see anything! Don't fly off the handle.
I can explain all of this.
- Don't you touch me! - Darling - Sue Ellen! - Sue Ellen! Well.
You've destroyed her again.
Don't you ever learn? Sue Ellen? - Sue Ellen? - Ls she sick or something? - She can hardly walk.
- She's getting into J.
