Dallas s09e19 Episode Script

While Pam is away on that little jaunt south of the border I have full authority to run Ewing Oil as I see fit.
I think you're taking advantage of an unusual situation.
- Did you ever know me not to? - I'd hate to see you and that pretty lady friend of yours get hurt.
Just because you can't make ends meet with that excuse of a company doesn't give you the right to drag my mama down.
I told you to stay in Athens until it was time.
There isn't any more time, Angelica.
Pam! Uh, no, no, senor.
Not una carta.
No.
Un paquete.
A package.
I'm looking.
I'm looking.
When were you expecting this package? Ayer.
Yesterday.
Ayer.
Sometimes the mail is very slow to arrive from the United States.
This package should have been sent special delivery.
Oh.
Why didn't you say so? I have a special delivery in the back.
Come on.
Be there.
Be there.
Sorry.
There's nothing for you.
Maybe tomorrow.
Heh.
Damn it.
What are you up to, J.
R? Pardon? Uh, nothing.
Nada.
Gracias.
Thanks.
I don't need to look it up, J.
R.
I can quote you the bylaws of Ewing Oil line and verse.
Humor me.
Of course, this provision doesn't apply to situations of ill health.
Well, nobody's sick here.
Just let me know where I stand.
"In the event an active partner or representative thereof should absent himself from the day-to-day duties of Ewing Oil for a period exceeding three consecutive business days full right and authority to carry out such business necessary to the operation and welfare of said company shall pass to the remaining partner or partners.
" So in other words, while Pam is away on that little jaunt south of the border I have full authority to run Ewing Oil as I see fit.
That is correct.
And she has to accept any decision I make in her absence? Anything short of your selling the company out from under her, yes.
Yeah, I know that, Harv.
I just wanna make sure I'm playing by the book while she's away.
Well, now that you know that you're playing it by the book is there something specific you want done? Yes, as a matter of fact, there is.
I want you to formalize these letters of agreement between Ewing Oil, Marilee Stone, Andy Bradley, and Jordan Lee.
Well, what is it? I won't question your reasons for laying off the Marinos deal on the cartel.
We still retain a healthy percentage of the royalties.
But unless there's something wrong with my calendar these agreements were drawn up while Pam was still in Dallas.
Now, I have to wonder why yours is the only signature for Ewing Oil that's on them.
Well, I tried to run it by her before she left but she was so caught up in preparing for that trip with that loser friend of Bobby's that she just didn't get around to signing it, that's all.
Well, I'm running a business.
What the hell was I supposed to do? All right, J.
R.
I'll see that these agreements are filed right away but I have to tell you.
I think you're taking advantage of an unusual situation.
Did you ever know me not to? As soon as you can.
- Hey, Sly.
- Oh, J.
R.
Uh, Mr.
Erickson got here a few minutes early.
- He's waiting for you in your office.
- Who's that? Floyd Erickson? From the brokerage house in Houston? Oh, yeah.
Yeah.
All right.
Hold my calls.
Okay.
J.
R.
, is Jack still planning on meeting with you at the engineer's office? Well, as far as I know.
Well, if he doesn't check in before that would you mind telling him that Grace called? She made 12:30 reservations for them at Melvin's and she said if that's all right with him, he doesn't need to call her back.
It seems to me they've been getting together a lot for lunch these days.
I think this is the third time this week.
- All right.
I'll see he gets that message.
- Okay.
- Mr.
Erickson.
- Mm.
- Oh, Mr.
Ewing.
We finally meet.
- Yeah, yeah.
I really appreciate you coming by while you're in town.
- Oh, no problem.
- Can I freshen up your coffee? - No, no, it's fine.
- Please, please sit down.
Well Well, what can I do for you? Actually, you've already done it.
You've been helping my mama in a very sensitive business transaction.
Of course.
The Hawkwood acquisitions.
Yeah, yeah, that's right.
I just want to check and see if the whole deal is moving smoothly.
It's been my experience that when word gets out that the Ewings are in the market to buy well, the asking price goes up quite a bit.
Well, we've gone to great lengths to protect your mother's identity.
In fact, we forwarded one of our own checks to Hawkwood's bank in Texas City.
There is no way anyone can find out who the buyer is.
Hawkwood's bank, huh? Would that be one of Buck Childress' companies? Uh to tell you the truth, I don't know who stands behind Hawkwood.
They've been as secretive about this sale as your mother.
Well, I sure wish you'd look into it for me.
I always like to know who I'm doing business with.
I'll see what I can dig up.
I really appreciate it, and I'm looking forward to our next meeting.
Did I get any messages today from the States? A telegram or a telex? It would have originated in Dallas.
One moment.
Uh, nothing from the United States.
Just a message from Mrs.
Ewing telling you that she went out to get a present for her son.
Damn.
You're sure nothing else? Sí, senor.
Is something wrong? Gracias.
A little early in the day to be drinking.
Even for you, Senor Cantrell.
Were you expecting this? You look angry.
I prefer to open my own mail.
The package fell open while I was bringing it to you.
Accidents happen, you know.
Now, tell me, why does a man need to bring emeralds into a country so famous for exporting them? I can't help you if I don't understand.
I don't recall asking for any help.
Have it your way.
I don't know what game it is you're playing, but every game has its dangers.
I'd hate to see you and that pretty lady friend of yours get hurt.
I think I can look after both of us just fine.
I hope so, my friend.
I hope so.
I have a 12:30 reservation with Mr.
Ewing.
Ah, yes.
He's already been seated.
Follow me, please.
Thank you.
Oh, Grace.
Uh, Jack, I'm afraid, didn't get your message, but I think I have.
Would you join me, please? - Enjoy your lunch.
- Thank you.
I didn't realize you had such an interest in your cousin's personal life.
Well, if it's personal, I don't.
But that's not the case here, is it? I don't know what you're talking about.
Why do I get the impression that Angelica is trying to get around me through you? Jack and I have become good friends.
Is there anything wrong with that? No, as long as everyone understands that the only person that's gonna deliver Jack in this deal is me.
I assure you, my friendship with Jack is totally innocent.
Hm.
Honey, you look like a lot of things but innocent is not one of them.
Look, I stand to lose very little if the rumors about Dimitri's poor health are confirmed.
Angelica, on the other hand, stands to lose an empire.
I'm well aware of what's at stake here.
Good, because Jack's uncanny resemblance to the Greek tycoon is the only thing that's gonna buy Angelica the time she needs to reorganize and I'm more than happy to see it through.
All the way to the oil conference in Martinique if I feel I'm needed.
But right now, I feel that Angelica has other ideas.
You will let her know that I'm concerned, won't you? Of course.
Good.
Now that's out of the way, let's order something very, very expensive, huh? I'm lost, Bobby.
I'm trapped.
Everyone tells me I'll get over you in time but I'll never get over you.
I'll never get over the simple fact that all you ever wanted was for us to be married.
I wanted that too.
You don't know how much.
And I hate myself for all the things I let get in the way of that ever happening of all the terrible pain that I caused you.
Oh, how can I make it go away? Do you think if I wished hard enough I could go back? Before Before all the mistakes were made.
I wanna go back, Bobby.
I just don't know how to get there, Bobby.
Here, hold your hand out nice and flat.
All right.
He won't bite you.
Nice and flat.
That's a girl.
See, I told you he wouldn't bite you.
Here, Stephen.
Now, you hold up Hold it and nice and high for him.
There he goes.
How about that? Okay, Bob, put your foot right up here.
That's a boy.
Hold on the saddle.
That's it.
Up we go.
That's it.
Hey, how you like that, huh? - Yeah, it's good.
- All right.
- You ready to go for a ride? - You betcha.
Okay, now Eddie's gonna take you around over here to the stables.
As soon as I get these horses saddled up, I'll bring your friends around.
We'll go find a trail to ride on, huh? - Yeah.
- Okay.
Go ahead, Eddie.
Okay, who wants to be next, huh? Come on.
Come on over here.
- What's your name? Matt.
All right.
Oh, you know, I really thank you for helping me.
I never would've been able to have organized this all by myself.
It was a pleasure.
You know, watching you with the children has really been wonderful.
- Very special.
I told you he wouldn't bite you.
They are special.
- Every single one of them.
There we go.
You know, it's like Lee McKinley told me you always get back more than you give, and he was right.
They accept things so easily.
Their limitations, their talents.
They never look back.
I love every single one of them.
I know.
It shows.
Well, what's this? On behalf of all of us at Woodgrove please accept this gift as thanks for having us here.
Oh, that's lovely.
Thank you.
Oh, that's wonderful.
Did you make this yourself? Did you make this yourself? Aha.
Everyone helped.
Oh, it's so good.
It's so good.
Bless you.
Thank you.
You thinking what I'm thinking? Yeah.
She's spending more and more time at Bobby's grave.
I don't wanna make more out of this than there is but if she doesn't snap out of this mood pretty soon somebody's gonna have to start thinking about getting her some help.
Well, let's just keep a close eye on her these next few days, okay? Sounds like your mama better invest in some piano lessons for you, son.
Hi, Uncle J.
R.
Hey, Christopher.
How you doing? Where is everybody anyhow? - Upstairs, getting ready for dinner.
- Oh.
Oh, yeah.
I guess you worked up quite an appetite playing with those little friends came over visit you today.
I didn't play with them.
You didn't? Why not? - I don't know.
- Hm.
You miss your mama, don't you? She called me this morning all the way from South America.
Is that right? She sounds so far away.
Yeah.
Well, your mama will be back before you know it.
Think of all the stories she'll be able to tell you.
- Yeah.
- Ha, ha.
Come on.
Let's go and see what's holding up dinner, huh? Hey, Teresa? Anybody here? I got to hand it to you, Pam.
I thought you'd be asking for a breather by now.
Ha.
It crossed my mind.
- When were you planning on taking a break? Soon as we reach the top.
How long do you think? Oh, I'd say three, four hours.
No problem.
Well, Bobby always said you were one tough lady.
He had a lot of faith in you too.
And we're going to show J.
R.
And everyone else that faith wasn't misplaced.
Thanks.
Ewing residence.
Uh, who may I ask is calling? One moment, please.
- Uh, it's a Mr.
Erickson from Houston.
- All right.
I'll take that.
Hello, Floyd? I appreciate you getting back to me so quickly.
Well, I got you an answer, but I must admit you surprised me.
Oh? Isn't Clayton Farlow married to your mother? Yes, he is.
Well, then I thought you would've known.
Hawkwood Machinery is one of Farlow Industries' companies.
They've been undergoing severe financial pressure lately.
Yeah, you're right.
I should've known.
Thank you, Floyd.
I owe you one.
- Teresa? - Yes, sir.
Mr.
Farlow around? Uh, I believe he's out on the patio.
- Clayton.
- Morning, J.
R.
That's what you think.
Where's Mama? She's in town with Sue Ellen.
She's helping out with some of the last-minute details of the fundraiser.
You know, I never thought much of you as a businessman.
Now I don't think you're much of a man at all.
- Listen here, J.
R - No, you listen to me.
Just because you can't make ends meet with that excuse of a company of yours doesn't give you the right to drag my mama down with you.
What are you talking about? I'm talking about Mama pumping money into Farlow Industries to the tune of $ 7 million, maybe more, for all I know.
Well, I'm warning you, nobody takes my mama for a ride, especially you.
Well, it's true.
Farlow Industries has fallen on some hard times but I never dreamed of turning to Ellie for help.
You expect me to believe that? I don't give a damn what you believe.
What is going on between you two? I don't know, but I'm gonna find out and don't you talk to your mama about this until I get back.
What's all this? Hey, I went out and rented about every movie that was ever made.
Bambi? Yeah.
Hey, don't knock that till you see it.
There's a scene in there, gets me every time.
It's a scene between the mother and No, I'm not telling you.
You wait.
You'll see.
Ha-ha-ha.
I love you, Cliff.
I love you too.
We got them all.
And now, I'm gonna go downstairs and I'm going to pop us some popcorn.
- She can have popcorn, can't she? - She sure can.
We're gonna spend the whole day together, just watching Hollywood's finest.
Great.
Better yet, I'll pop the popcorn for you two.
Oh, thank you, Linda.
She's sweet, isn't she? - Uh-huh.
Oh, Mr.
Barnes, I almost forgot.
Mrs.
Ewing called.
I guess she missed you at your office.
Uh, my sister? - Sue Ellen.
- Oh.
Uh, she wanted to thank you for buying a table at the charity auction and let you know she's sorry you won't be able to attend but understands.
Cliff, why aren't you going tonight? You know why I'm not going.
I'm not gonna leave you alone.
Linda's here with me.
It's important that you go.
- Cliff, I want you to go.
- No way.
Have you forgotten how much trouble Graison Research went to to try and save my life? No, and I'm grateful to them for it.
Then you should go for both of us.
It's the least that we can do.
Please, Cliff? All right.
Miss Ellie? Hello, Donna.
It seems to me that yesterday you, uh You already had that down pat.
I wish.
There's just so many little nuances to it.
How'd everything go in town? Oh, fine.
Sue Ellen has outdone herself.
Tonight's gonna be a great event.
Good.
Clayton had to take off in a hurry this morning.
He said something had come up in Houston.
- Did he say what? - No.
Uh, he said he wasn't sure whether or not he'd make it back in time for the auction but he didn't want you to miss it on his account.
I hope everything's all right.
I think everything's gonna be just fine.
Good.
You know, Donna, seeing how much you enjoy working with those children has made me wonder if you and Ray have started thinking again about having a family.
I don't think so.
You see, the baby that we lost had Down syndrome.
Oh.
Oh, Lord.
It was real rough in the beginning but we worked through it.
We found out a lot of things about each other that we didn't even know.
We both wanted that baby real bad.
Oh, Donna.
I'm so sorry.
And all those things I said to you when you came out of the hospital about About trying again.
There was no way that you could have known.
But you know the important thing is we have really come to accept what happened and I'm fine.
And Ray is fine.
But the biggest blessing of all is these kids because they have really helped me get to where I am right now.
Look, would you look at these? I'm scared to death.
You're gonna be terrific tonight.
The one and only time I've spoken in public before there wasn't a dry eye in the place.
Jerry, that's what we want.
No, no.
These were tears of laughter, and I wasn't supposed to be funny.
It was a lecture on open-heart surgery.
There.
You see what I mean? - Oh, sorry.
Am I interrupting anything? No, not at all.
Hello, J.
R.
I don't think the two of you have met.
Jerry Kenderson, my husband, J.
R.
Ewing.
- Oh, hello, doctor.
- Mr.
Ewing.
- Good to meet you.
- Nice to meet you.
- Well, I think I'll go practice my speech.
- That's the spirit.
Excuse me.
Nice to meet you.
- Yeah.
Yeah.
Well Well, uh, I never thought I'd see the day when I'd be asking my own wife out for a date but I'd, uh I'd really like to escort you to the auction tonight, Sue Ellen if that's all right with you.
- You'd like to escort me? Yeah.
Well, after all, you are my wife, you know.
Well, no, I mean, I'd be proud to.
I hardly know what to say.
Well, say yes.
Yes.
Oh, feels like we've been climbing for hours.
Hang in there.
Another mile or so, it's all downhill to where we make camp for the night.
I wasn't complaining.
I'm enjoying every minute of this, just like I'm sure Bobby would have.
I'll bet.
I mean it.
It's so beautiful here, so peaceful.
That's one of the reasons I like it here so much.
Me too.
That's when I knew that Mark was right.
Maybe it was time for me to get out of private practice and into research.
Seriously, though, medical research is by its very nature a painfully slow process.
One that must crawl for many years before it can walk.
Occasionally, there are breakthroughs of incredible proportion.
It's my hope and my dream that some of those breakthroughs will originate through Graison Research.
Thanks to all of you, it's a very distinct possibility.
Your support is a key element and your dollars just may make a difference in the quality of life on this planet.
I applaud your generosity.
I thank you for this evening.
I am honored by your presence.
God bless you, one and all.
- That wasn't so bad, was it? - No.
Oh.
Ha, ha.
Thank you very much, Dr.
Kenderson.
Hello again.
I hope you all are having a wonderful time.
And, uh, there's more yet to come.
And I'd like to remind all you gentlemen that there's one more round left to the auction.
You didn't think I'd let you get off that easy, did you? Ha, ha.
Well, I can see that all the women seemed to be pleased.
So if you'll continue looking at all the items up for bid enjoy your dessert and your coffee and have a wonderful time.
Thank you.
Excuse me.
I'm gonna go to the bar and get something to drink.
- Anybody want anything? Sue Ellen? No, thank you.
I think Donna and I are gonna try out the dance floor.
Mama, be sure and save a dance for me.
- I will, J.
R.
Thank you.
Vodka with a twist and a Shirley Temple.
Shirley Temple? You're not fading out on me, are you, Andy? Ha, ha.
No.
Just trying to keep the wife sober enough to get out of this auction with my shirt still on.
Ha, ha.
Bourbon and branch.
I'd like to thank you again for letting me in on the Marinos deal.
Looks like we're gonna be seeing big profits by the end of the year.
Well, what are friends for anyhow? Well, maybe I can return the favor someday, huh? Enjoy your evening.
Hey, Jordan.
J.
R.
Ah, let's have a little bourbon on the rocks.
Say, that was, uh, quite a gesture of yours your donating the use of your suite at the Texas stadium for Sunday.
Well, it's for a good cause.
Very good news from the Venezuelan coast, isn't it? Would I ever steer you wrong? You know, I bet Andy and Marilee would just about die if they knew you'd let me in on a piece of the action.
Ha, ha.
Yeah, I reckon they would.
I apologize for making us late.
It looks as though we've missed the main course.
That's all right.
Well, dessert is all that counts anyway.
- Shall we? - No, thank you.
Is everything all right, Jack? Yeah.
Sure.
Clayton sure picked a strange night to go down to Houston.
- Any problem? - Oh, no, not at all.
Everything's fine.
I'm just so sorry he couldn't be here.
He would've been so proud of what Sue Ellen's done.
Ha.
He's not the only one.
Hello, Donna, Jenna, Ray, good to see you.
Mark, this turned out to be quite a party.
It has.
Jenna, how about the next dance? No, thank you.
Oh, come on.
Just one little dance? A pretty girl like you shouldn't spend a whole evening alone.
That's exactly what I should be.
Alone.
Excuse me, please.
Don't let it bother you.
She's just not feeling well tonight.
Jenna? - Hello, Jack.
- Are you all right? - Yes, I'm fine.
Hello.
I'd like you to meet a friend of mine, Grace.
Grace, this is Jenna.
It's very nice to meet you.
I'm sorry, I was just on my way out to get some fresh air.
An acquaintance of yours? I'll be right behind you, Mama.
- I was hoping you'd save this dance for me.
- I was hoping you wouldn't push your luck.
Well, what was I to do? Jack had already invited Grace to the affair.
It was unavoidable.
Blowing your little charade out of the water may become unavoidable too, my dear.
Don't worry, J.
R.
I'm not about to take your cousin away from you.
- You've got my word.
- Well, thank you.
Now, shall we have that dance? Oh, I'm terribly sorry.
I, uh I saved this dance for my wife.
- Sue Ellen? - Yes? I don't believe you have met Angelica Nero.
How do you do? I've heard so much about you.
And I about you.
It's a pleasure we finally meet.
- Thank you.
- Very nice seeing you again.
- She seemed like an interesting woman.
- Mm-hm.
I don't want to talk about her.
I want to talk about you.
You've come a long way in a very short period of time, darling.
What you've done here tonight is just short of a miracle.
I'm proud of you, honey.
I just wanted you to know that.
Thank you, J.
R.
Seems like you've got yourself a new fan too.
- Who? - Your boss, Dr.
Kenderson.
- Jerry? - Mm-hm.
We had a rough time working together in the beginning, but, uh well, I guess you could say we've become good friends.
Oh.
Ha, ha.
Well, it looks like it's your turn, big guy.
- You're a tough act to follow.
- Well, those are the breaks.
I'm not very big on speeches but I am on gratitude and I wanna take a minute to thank all of you for turning out tonight.
You know, it's no secret that, uh, Graison Research represents a cause very near and dear to my heart.
Probably has something to do with the fact that I named it after myself.
Enough has been said for you to know that the goals set for the research center are worthy of your support, and you have demonstrated that here with your generous donations.
And as Jerry assured you, and I assure you your money will be well spent.
So again, my thanks to all of you.
Uh, right now, I'm most interested in, uh, aside from getting down from here see who's gonna walk away with the rest of the merchandise we have up here for auction.
So without further ado I shall give the floor back to the real star of this evening, Sue Ellen Ewing.
Thank you, Mark.
All right.
We're in the homestretch.
And I believe the next item in your brochure is number 62.
It's a full-length Russian lynx coat, donated by Aladdin Furs.
Look at this.
Isn't it beautiful? Heh.
And it's valued at over $ 100,000.
So come on.
Could we begin the bidding at $ 10,000, please? We have a $ 10,000 bid from Andy Bradley.
- Donna? Thank you, Andy.
I'm gonna go to the ladies' room.
Fifteen thousand it is.
As you can see You know, Ray that coat would look very, very nice on Donna.
- Well, thanks a lot, Miss Ellie.
Twenty-thousand dollar bid.
This is getting interesting.
Shall we push the bid to 30,000? - She does have a point.
Thank you, Mr.
Jacobs.
We are at 30,000.
Any takers at 35? - Thirty-five thousand.
Hi.
Forty? Clayton, what on Earth are you doing? I'm here to ask you the same question.
Oh, my.
You found out, didn't you? Ellie, do you realize how I felt when I learned that you were behind all the buy-ups of my companies? How long did you think you could keep it a secret? I didn't think that far ahead.
I was so worried about you, and I knew you wouldn't come to me for help.
Would you have respected me if I had? - I love you.
- That was never in question.
Well, what was? I mean, you could have You could have at least opened up to me.
I couldn't, not about this.
Ellie, when we married, I left a lot of things behind so I could take up life with you at Southfork.
I gave up Southern Cross, I left Houston I never wanted you to give up anything to be with me.
I was glad to.
It was a small price to pay to share our life together but our life here is so tied to you.
The family, the ranch.
Well, I always thought that you felt a part of it.
I do, but Farlow Industries is all I have left that I can point to and say that's mine.
Do you understand that? I worked so many years to make it into something I was proud of.
It just hasn't been that easy to let it go, even when I knew it was time.
Oh, Lord.
I guess I I guess I really made a mess of things, didn't I? - You have every right to be furious with me.
- No, I'm not furious with you.
I'm furious with myself.
I should've sold Farlow Industries a long time ago.
It's not my life anymore.
It's my past.
You're the only thing that really matters to me and I guess it took this little stunt of yours to make me realize that.
I'm just sorry it was so long in coming.
Forgive me, Ellie.
Oh, Clayton.
I love you.
And God knows I love you.
I don't know what I'd do without you.
I'm surprised more of you haven't joined at the bidding of this fabulous crystal duck.
Thirty thousand.
- Forty.
- Ha-ha-ha.
Ah Fifty thousand.
Sixty.
I have $60,000.
Well, we could bounce back and forth like this all night.
So I think it's time we separate the men from the boys.
I'll double Mr.
Barnes' bid.
That'll be 120,000.
What's going on? Nothing, nothing.
It's just Cliff and J.
R.
At it again.
The bid stands at $ 120,000.
- Did you say $ 120,000? Uh, yes, that's correct.
Well, you can have it.
Ha-ha-ha.
Sold to J.
R.
Ewing for $ 120,000.
Thank you.
Sue Ellen, uh, I'd like to donate that beautiful piece of sculpture back to the auction and give Mr.
Barnes over there another opportunity to take it home with him tonight.
We accept your generous donation.
Now, could I open the bidding again? - We'll open with $5,000.
- Well, worked up quite a thirst.
If you'll excuse me, Mama.
Terrific.
Thank you, Mr.
Potts.
You two sure seem awful happy about something tonight.
Glad you could make it, Clayton.
Okay, Ray.
Everything's all straightened out.
- Did you tell Ray? - Mm.
Lts qualities - So did I.
Fifteen thousand.
Mr.
Wineman has given us a bid of 15,000.
I just wanted to wish you good night.
Is everything okay? Nothing that a hot bath and a king-size bed couldn't fix.
Well, we covered a lot of ground today.
We should make the mine by noon tomorrow.
I can't wait.
- Good night, Pam.
Matt? You know, taking this trip like this, doing what Bobby would've done it really feels right.
It's, um, funny.
Sometimes I think that I can actually feel his presence with us.
Yeah.
Me too.
- Good night.
- Good night.
You men better get some rest.
You earned it.
I'm gonna go take a swim down in the river.
Careful, Senor Cantrell.
Water's very cold this time of year.
I'll be careful.
Thank you.
I just want to share a few words with you, if you don't mind.
- When I accepted Mark Graison's offer - Nicholas.
What are you doing here in Dallas? I told you to stay in Athens until it was time.
There isn't any more time, Angelica.
I flew all day to get here because Because what? Dimitri is dead.
It's over.
Don't you see? It's over.
Again, I would like to thank you all for your participation.
The auction is over but, uh, not the night.
There's enough food, drinks, and music to take us into the morning.
So after our people have arrived at a final accounting I will announce how much money we have raised at what I hope is the first annual fundraiser for Graison Research.
May I have a moment, Mrs.
Ewing? Of course.
Thank you.
Good evening, ladies and gentlemen.
My name is Angelica Nero.
It would be improper of me to accept the gracious hospitality of Dallas without giving something back in return.
We at Marinos Shipping greatly appreciate how the oil community has opened its doors to us.
I have just gotten off of the phone with our chairman, Dimitri Marinos who sends you his very best regards and would like you to know that his health is greatly improving by the day.
To celebrate his good fortune and this worthy cause a check for $ 1 million is on its way to Graison Research.
Thank you very much, Ms.
Nero.
And one more thing before the music resumes.
No one person wanted to be here this evening more than Pamela Ewing.
But circumstances have taken her out of the country.
She also sends her regards and she thanks you as I do for making this one very special evening for Graison Research.
Thank you.
Pam.
Pam! Pam!
