Dallas s12e03 Episode Script

NARRATOR: Last on Dallas: Cliff lied to you.
He saw Pam.
She doesn't wanna know about you, nor about him, nor Christopher.
- Lf I get him to Braddock, he's mine.
- No kidnapping.
Why can't two people just fall in love and get married? Why does everybody gotta hurt everybody.
CLAYTON: I'll see you later.
- You will, Clayton.
Count on it.
- Is it wrong to want my child? - Not as long as that's what he wants.
You finally did what's best for the boy.
The one thing I have to look forward to in my life is evening the score.
And believe me, I will.
- How was that, Dad? - How about that? That's real good, son.
See what you can do, John Ross.
Ah.
Watching them bring to mind anything, Bobby? Like what? Well, I wonder how many hours Daddy had us out there practicing like that.
BOBBY: Quite a few.
If I remember right, you didn't take to it.
It was mostly Gary and me.
Yeah.
Yeah, well, whatever.
- Anyway, it's nice to see the boys together.
- Mm-hm.
What's the matter, Bob? Kind of moody.
You haven't been to work in a few days.
What is it? It's personal.
I'll get over it.
Well, what if I could speed that process up a little bit? - Get you out of your doldrums.
- How? Well, the boys have got a week off of school.
Watching them out there reminds me of when you and I were kids.
Remember that first hunting trip we went on? You couldn't have been older than Christopher.
I remember how mad I was because Daddy wouldn't let me carry a gun.
What about the four of us going on a hunting trip? Going back to one of those places Daddy used to take us.
- Well, might be good for us.
- Yeah.
What was the name of that place up on the Arkansas-Louisiana border? - Haleyville.
- Yeah, that's right.
- Real good hunting around there.
- That was in the middle of nowhere.
That's why the hunting was so good.
What do you say? I think it's a good idea.
Let's tell the boys.
- Hey, boys, come here.
- Christopher, come here.
[INTERCOM BUZZES.]
- Yeah? JACKIE: Cliff, Sue Ellen Ewing on Line 3.
Cliff? - Hmm.
Yeah? - Sue Ellen Ewing on Line 3.
Yeah, okay, I'll take it.
[PUSHES BUTTON.]
- Hi, Sue Ellen.
- Hello, Cliff.
- How have you been? Working hard? - Not very.
Well, then you have time for lunch.
I already ate.
Well, then how about later this week? I really would like to talk to you.
You know, I don't really think we have anything to talk about.
Well, have lunch with me, and we'll find out if that's true.
I'd just as soon not.
Are you afraid of something? Don't worry about J.
R.
Finding out.
- We're separated.
- Yeah, I know that.
Well, then? It really is important.
- All right.
- Good.
Uh Tomorrow, 12:30? I can come by your office, or we can meet someplace.
- I'll meet you.
- Fine.
The Oil Barons tomorrow.
- You won't stand me up, will you? - I won't stand you up.
See you then.
Bye.
[LOWING.]
Now, listen, only gonna be John Ross and Christopher and J.
R.
And myself.
- So why don't you come along? - Oh, I think I'd just be in the way.
Come on, Clayton.
When was the last time you went on a hunting trip? - Long ago.
I can't remember.
- All right.
All the more reason for you to come with us.
I say fathers and sons ought to be on their own together.
It's a good time, special time.
Well, that's why I want you to come with us.
- Thank you, Bobby.
- I mean it.
I know you do.
But I better stay here.
Truth is, I'm worried about this drought.
This ranch is gonna be here when we get back.
Always has been.
I know.
But you take a look around at these cattle.
A few more weeks of this, and we could be in a whole mess of trouble.
I better stay here and hang around Southfork.
It's gonna make me feel guilty about leaving.
No.
You take those boys and go out and have yourself a good time.
[SIGHS.]
Bobby, you thought any more about those refineries? - Some.
- Well? - Well, I'm interested.
You know that.
- Well, what's your problem? - A deal like that's gonna take a lot of cash.
- And you don't wanna end up cash-poor.
- Something like that.
- I can understand that.
- We'll talk about it when I get back, though.
- Fine.
That'd be a good time for you to meet McKay.
- Who's that? - The fella that bought Ray's ranch.
Yeah? What kind of guy is he? Seems okay.
Fact is, he's a straightforward guy.
Trying to be a real good neighbor.
Know what I mean? - Yeah.
Look forward to meeting him.
- Yeah.
But are they any good? Are they men I can depend on? Well, they'll do whatever you tell them, Mr.
McKay.
They're what you asked for: The best.
- Only thing is - What? Well, they weren't easy to find and each of these guys has a specialist, and What I'm saying, Mr.
McKay, is they don't come cheap.
And they're all gonna want half in front.
Will that take care of it? Yes, sir, Mr.
McKay.
I can always buy men, Hughes.
That's never the problem.
- But what about the equipment? - No sweat.
Been located.
It's on its way.
- How are we fixing to pay for it? - On delivery.
Oh, well, hell, Mr.
McKay I said, when it gets here.
That understood? - Understood.
- And provided it's up to specification.
[CHUCKLING.]
Oh, it's up to specifications, all right.
Be all right with you if I drive into town? - No, not today.
- But I need to get some You don't need nothing but to do what I tell you.
But I'd be back early.
You go into town, and you can stay there.
- Now, what's it to be? - I swear Close the door.
Whew.
[CHUCKLES.]
[DOOR CLOSES.]
- Don't you have a delivery to make? - Yes, sir, Mr.
McKay.
Yeah, I think I'm gonna take this new 243 with the scope sight on it.
And you know what? I'm gonna let you use that shotgun your granddaddy gave me.
He taught me how to shoot on that the way I've been teaching you.
How come I don't get to do any shooting? That's exactly the question I had, Christopher, when I was your age.
- Well, how come? - Because a gun is not a toy.
And when I'm sure that you know how to use one in the right way then we'll talk about it, okay? Don't feel bad, Christopher.
There's a lot of good fishing up there.
Remember that little old lake Daddy used to take us to? Yeah.
That was good.
What I liked best is when we'd go salmon fishing in Alaska.
Grandpa used to do everything with you, didn't he? Yeah, he sure did.
What about Uncle Ray? Did he go with you? Sure, when we were all in high school together.
Except J.
R.
, of course.
He was a lot older.
I tell you, Daddy and the three of us used to have some good old times didn't we? What about Uncle Gary, huh? I didn't hear anybody mention his name.
Well, Gary wasn't interested in things like that.
I remember the first time he had to bait his own hook, he almost fainted.
Heh-heh.
- Well, I don't like that much either.
LUC Y: Careful, John Ross.
- Your daddy's liable to disinherit you.
- Lucy.
- Gary went with us on a lot of those trips.
LUC Y: Really? How come nobody talks about him when the good old days come up? If you feel so strongly about it why don't you move in with your daddy and stop inflicting yourself on us? If my being here makes you unhappy, J.
R.
, that's all I want.
Listen, darling, I still haven't forgiven you for handing over John Ross to Sue Ellen.
- You got him back, didn't you? J.
R: Yes, I do.
I'm gonna raise him to be a real man, not a wimp like your daddy.
BOBBY: Wait a minute, you two.
That's enough.
Christopher, go see if Mama and Clayton are ready for dinner, okay? We'll play cards after.
[SIGHS.]
Sure would be nice if we could have one meal here without everybody fighting.
I'm gonna go eat in my room.
Don't you like Uncle Gary? Oh, sure, I liked him, son.
He was just different from the rest of us, that's all.
Like how? Well, for one thing, he used to like to write poetry.
Now, can you imagine a real man that would rather write poetry than go hunting? Huh? Ha-ha.
Not me.
[SIGHS.]
[KNOCK ON DOOR.]
Hold on.
- Who is it? SUE ELLEN: It's me.
APRIL: Oh.
Sorry.
I caught you out of the shower.
Well, when you said you were coming over, I didn't realize you meant right away.
I have a lunch today.
I wanted to talk to you first.
Okay.
What'd you wanna talk about? Oh, it comes under the general heading of girl talk.
Yeah? Well, would you like some coffee with your talk? - Sure.
- Okay.
Oh.
Sue Ellen, I'm so sorry about Nick.
- I know how hard this must be for you.
- It is.
- And J.
R.
's up and around again.
- I guess he's meant to die in bed.
But he won't die in my bed.
I filed for divorce.
Well, that doesn't surprise me.
I don't know how you made it this long.
Neither do I.
- Sit down.
I'll get our coffee.
- Thank you.
April, um tell me about you and Cliff.
Tell you what? Is there anything between the two of you? Why? I'll explain after I've heard your answer.
I like Cliff.
I mean, I really do.
He's like a bad little boy, putting up such a bluster.
And underneath all of that, you know he's just a marshmallow.
We're not Romeo and Juliet, if that's what you mean.
That's the answer I wanted to hear.
- You wanna fix me up with somebody? - No.
But I do wanna get back at J.
R.
, and I'm going to have to use Cliff to do it.
I just don't wanna step on your toes.
Why Cliff? I mean, I know he doesn't have any more love for J.
R.
Than you do.
But he also doesn't have that same old fight in him anymore.
- Maybe I can give it back to him.
- How? Cliff and I were lovers once.
Maybe we can be again.
- And you think that that would hurt J.
R? - Guaranteed.
He'd hate it.
- And you'd just use Cliff? - Cliff would enjoy every minute of it.
Till you dump him.
Nobody wins every time.
Sue Ellen, what has happened to you? [SIGHS.]
Nicholas Pearce happened to me.
And I don't care about anything except making J.
R.
Pay for it.
I know Cliff is no angel, but don't you think he deserves better than this? Are you gonna say something to him? No.
Cliff will have to take care of himself.
I'm having a hard enough time with my own life.
So am I.
But soon J.
R.
's gonna be the one that's going to be having a hard time.
Okay.
Hey.
- John Ross, Christopher, come on, boys.
- We'll be back in three or four days.
- Five at the most.
- Southfork will be here when you get back.
- Okay.
Thank you, Clayton.
J.
R: Bob, let's get going.
- Get in there, boys.
- Good hunting.
Take care of those boys.
All right.
Oh, boy.
We're gonna have fun, huh? Ha-ha-ha.
[HELICOPTER WHIRRING.]
[J.
R.
CHUCKLES.]
Yeah, it's just like I remember it.
Hasn't changed a bit.
- Well, it sure hasn't gotten any bigger.
- Door, son.
Here you go, pal.
Why don't you carry that for me? Here you go.
Okay.
Here we go.
Watch where you point it.
Around the corner.
J.
R: Howdy, fellas.
[RINGS BELL.]
Hasn't changed much since we were here.
J.
R: Hey.
- They don't seem very friendly.
- No, they're like everybody else.
Once you get to know them, they're nice people.
Salt of the earth.
[RINGS BELL.]
BOBBY: Oh.
- Hi there.
- Hi.
We need some rooms.
We need three.
One for myself, one for my brother, and one for the boys.
- You have rooms available? Open? - Oh, yeah, we sure do.
Well, fine.
I sign for them, or? Thank you.
- You got anybody to help with the bags? - I'm all there is.
I'll be with you in a minute.
- Oh, that's all right.
We'll take care of it.
- Help him out, son.
There you go.
Hmm.
- I gotta get my glasses.
Ha-ha.
- Oh, well - Hmm.
"Ewing.
" Ewing.
- Yeah.
Dallas, Texas, huh? My brother and me used to come here with our daddy hunting, long time ago.
- I thought maybe you'd remember us.
- Well, you're kind of familiar.
But, you know, lots of hunters pass through.
I just really can't remember them all.
I'm sorry about that.
- Well, it was some time ago.
- Yeah.
DEBBIE: Anything else, Mr.
Barnes? CLIFF: I don't think so, Debbie.
Thank you.
Yes, sir.
It's been a long time.
To old friendships? Why here, Sue Ellen? So everybody can see us, and J.
R.
Will be sure to know? I don't care what J.
R.
Knows.
We're getting a divorce.
- What's new? - I wanna get back at him.
Enjoy yourself.
- I need help.
- Well, I'm out of the revenge business.
- After all he's done to you, never.
- True.
I really don't give a damn.
And why me? There are lots of people who would love to take a whack at J.
R.
I don't have the history with anyone else that I have with you.
It's pretty ancient history.
Do you ever feel that we missed a chance at something very special? - Is that what you think? - I know I never appreciated what we had.
We didn't have anything.
Not really.
- We were just using each other.
- You didn't love me at all? Like I said, that's ancient history.
Doesn't have to be.
There was a time I would've killed to hear you say that.
You just heard it.
And I meant it.
- We could be good together.
- No, we couldn't.
- Why not? - Because what you want us to do is what J.
R.
Has done to me all of my life, and I don't want it anymore.
Not from him or from you.
You know Rhett Butler's last line in Gone With the Wind? That goes for me too.
Now break it just like I showed you at home.
That's it.
Now, you carry it like that until I tell you different, all right? Bobby, this is where we split up.
Okay, we'll meet back here in two hours, okay? - Christopher, you ready to help your daddy? - I'd help a lot more if I had a gun.
Yeah, well, maybe next time.
This time, you're here to learn.
- See you later.
- Can I have some shells, Daddy? No, no.
I'll give you these when it's time.
Come on.
[WHISPERING INDISTINCTLY.]
Ow! - What is it? - This thing hit me.
- Well, it's just a branch, son.
- It hurt.
Well, does it still hurt? - No.
- All right.
Let's go.
- Try to be quiet.
- Okay, Daddy.
[TWIG SNAPS.]
Sorry.
[QUIETLY.]
Hey, son [SPEAKING INDISTINCTLY.]
Go ahead.
All right.
They're gonna get up any minute now.
Ha.
All right, son.
Let's go pick that bird up.
Say, John Ross Here they come.
- Hey, boys.
How'd you do? - Look what Daddy got.
[J.
R.
LAUGHS.]
J.
R: Hey, that's great.
- How about you guys? How'd you do? My daddy got two.
What about you, John Ross? Did you get any? Well, he hasn't learned to lead them quite enough yet but we'll do better tomorrow, won't we, boy? BOBBY: Well, let's get back to the hotel.
I'm starving.
Come on.
[KNOCK ON DOOR.]
No! Ha! Put me down! Put me down! Gah Hah.
- Don't tell me, you hit? - Oh, I surely did, and a big one.
Well, it may not be Spindletop, baby, but it is a gusher, and I brought it in.
- Well, that's wonderful, Casey.
- Isn't it, though? Well, you're surprised.
Go on, admit it, you're surprised.
Okay, yes, I'm surprised.
- I didn't think you had it in you.
- In me? Well, April, you have no idea what's really in me, and, honey, it is just the start.
There's a whole lot more down there.
I know it.
I can just feel it.
What are you staring at? You.
Maybe you're gonna turn into a big man after all.
Darling, you don't know how big.
And I'm man enough for anybody, even you.
- Let's not get ahead of ourselves.
- I'm ready to prove it right here and now.
- No, this is not the time.
- Hey, I got all the time in the world.
And money to back it with.
[CHUCKLES.]
- Hi, Mac.
- Hey, Clayton.
I'd like you to meet my foreman, Fred Hughes.
- Hughes.
- Mr.
Farlow.
What can I do for you? Well, just dropped in with a invitation for you and me to go over to the Oil Barons Club tonight, lift a few.
Ho-ho.
Jeez.
I don't know.
Come on.
It's about time you got to know this place and the people.
The folks that really are Dallas, do all the wheeling and dealing.
Well, that's really good of you, but I've never been one for much socializing.
Well, I'd be very happy to introduce you around.
I've always been what you might call a bit of a recluse.
I'll tell you what, let me take a rain check on that until we get a bit more settled here.
Then I'll accept your invitation, and we'll really shake this town.
- That a promise, Mac? - That's a promise.
I'll take you up on that.
- Okay.
- Hughes.
Mr.
Farlow.
[ENGINE STARTS.]
He don't look so much.
Don't underestimate him.
I got a feeling he's more than he looks.
J.
R: Hey, go easy on the bread, son.
Don't wanna ruin your appetite.
Well, when are they gonna bring us menus or something? - Oh, well Here it is.
Look.
- Here we go, fellas.
- Make a little room for me there? - Yeah, sure.
Be careful.
That plate is real hot.
Here you are, John Ross.
- I don't want chicken.
- It's not chicken.
They're the birds we shot today.
What's the matter, son? Don't you like it? Come on.
That's why we shot them, so we could have them for dinner tonight.
Tastes a lot like chicken.
Well, I never killed a chicken.
Why do we have to kill things, anyways? You can buy all the food you need at a store.
Long before there were stores, men had to hunt for their food put it on the table, otherwise, they'd starve to death.
- We don't have to do that anymore.
- No, no, we don't.
But there's a lot more to hunting than just putting meat on the table.
Ah.
Builds character.
Makes a man a man.
Teaches you things that you're gonna use for the rest of your life, son.
Like in business, for instance.
It's broken up into two sections: Those who are willing to be targets, and those who are willing to pull the trigger.
Now, which one do you wanna be? WOMAN: Can I bring you something from the bar? Maybe some beers to go with them birds? That'd be fine.
Thank you.
Here you go.
You sure don't say much.
Well, I noticed you were busy.
Well, it's some quieter now.
You passing through? Yeah.
Gonna spend a few days, just hunting.
- Expect I'll see you, then.
- Yeah, I'd like that.
- Say, do you ever get tired of it? - Of what? Well, everybody you're talking to making a pass at you.
What makes you think they do? Well, I haven't been here real long but I can see that you're the belle of the ball around these parts.
And it's only normal that everybody would make a move on you.
- Well, you ain't.
- Well, I don't have to.
I have a feeling you've been saving yourself for me.
- I think you'll be happy you did.
- Oh, you do, do you? Well, I know that.
Like I knew you'd come over here and talk to me.
- Cally.
Come over here.
- That's your name? Cally? That's it.
Hey, you know so much, how come you didn't know that? Well, I know it now, don't I? I'm J.
R.
Ewing.
- Hi.
- Hi.
Didn't that mean anything to you? Why? That supposed to be some famous name or something? Ha-ha.
Well, it's famous enough.
You'll find out.
MAN: Cally.
BOBBY: J.
R? You about ready to turn in? Boys are asleep.
They're expecting an early start.
Bobby, I think I'm in love.
Oh, now, don't start testing the local talent, okay? Did you see that little, beautiful, unspoiled thing over there? Because we don't want you talking to no outsiders.
J.
R: Cally? BOBBY: Come on, let's get out of here.
Wait a minute.
I want you to meet my brother.
This is Bobby.
- Howdy.
- Hi.
- Can I get you something? - No.
We were just leaving.
- No, I'm not going anywhere.
- Let her go.
Oh.
Well, I don't see a ring on her finger.
You can't be her husband.
They're my brothers.
And, Japhet, you let him be.
You know, I didn't like you when you strutted in here.
You think you own this town? No problem.
We were just leaving.
Come on, J.
R.
- Let's go.
- He ain't going nowhere until I said, we're leaving.
Now, don't get all excited.
We were a little out of line.
We apologize.
Cally, why don't you buy the boys a drink? We'll look on this with new eyes in the morning.
- Hey, hey, let them be.
You hear me? - Don't you tell us what to do, little sister.
- You know, we was only talking.
- I best not catch him around you again.
You hear? I got a feeling you won't catch him.
JORDAN: So it wasn't Pam.
- No, it wasn't Pam.
But that's not what I wanna talk to you about.
How would you like to buy Barnes-Wentworth lock, stock and barrel? - What? - Yeah.
I want out.
I'll make you a good price.
You just have to make up your mind fast.
- Would you mind telling me why? - Yeah.
I got my reasons, but You interested? That's some question to ask right out of the blue.
It's simple.
You either wanna buy it, or you don't.
Well, if it's yes or no you want, it has to be no.
It's too big for me.
Too big for any of the independents, except maybe Wendell over at Westar.
I know you wouldn't wanna do business with him.
Okay.
Thanks for coming by.
I'll talk to Marilee and the others.
Maybe they can get a group together.
No, don't need to.
I already have, and they're not interested.
- Hi.
JORDAN: April.
- Well, I take it he's in? - He is.
- And I'm sure you can go right in.
- Thank you.
[CLEARS THRO AT.]
You're never gonna guess who's back in town.
Lulu.
- Who? - Casey Denault.
A whole new, brash, cocky Casey Denault.
- Well, what's he got to be cocky about? - He hit.
He hit big, Cliff.
I guess our investment paid off.
- Wonderful.
- He's got plans he wants to talk about.
- I think he's worth getting involved with.
- Talk to him.
Because I could care less.
I just want out.
What's wrong with you? This is a wonderful opportunity.
Well, you go for the opportunity.
I just wanna be left alone.
Cliff, you are the wimpiest man I have ever met.
So you're down in the dumps now.
Your life isn't over.
Now's the time to suck it up and move on.
Stop moping around, feeling sorry for yourself.
You think you're the only one whose life isn't perfect? You wanna get out of my face? Stop telling me what to do.
Just get out of my office.
- Do you mean that? - Yeah.
Go run somebody else's life.
I wanna be left alone.
You wanna be alone? That's exactly what you're gonna be.
When I walk through those doors, I'm never stepping foot in this office again.
And if you wanna see me, you're gonna have to come crawling to do it.
[DOOR SLAMS.]
J.
R: There he is, son.
There's your buck.
What do you think? JOHN ROSS: He's beautiful.
J.
R: Yeah.
Now, what we gotta do is get him.
So we're gonna work downwind a little bit, be real quiet, and stay low, okay? - Dad, that seems kind of sneaky.
- Just think of it as a game, son.
- But it's no game for the deer.
- I know what's going through your mind.
We got rifles.
But they got speed and an amazing sense of hearing and smell.
So, what we gotta do is try to outsmart him and that's the true joy of hunting.
A man who uses his brain comes up on top.
Now, let's move real quiet now.
Come on.
Here.
Here.
Come on.
He's leaving.
Come on.
Yeah.
Okay.
Got a clear shot now.
All right, son, this is your shot.
You're only gonna have one.
So align those crosshairs right behind his shoulder.
That's where the heart is.
We don't want that animal to suffer.
Now squeeze it off.
Take your safety off.
Go on.
John Ross, don't start acting like your Uncle Gary now.
Just shoot that.
Go.
[GUNSHOT.]
- Yeah.
- Well, I guess my son just became a hunter.
- John Ross, you shoot this? - Sure did.
Best shot that I ever saw.
BOBBY: That is a terrific shot.
- Wow, John Ross.
How'd you do it? Was it hard? Gosh, we never even saw a deer.
We'd just about given up.
Daddy said it was time to head on back.
Wow, I mean, fantastic.
Look at the size of it.
Are you gonna take him home? Are you gonna hang him up on the wall? [DOOR CLOSES.]
I bet you were wondering where I was all night.
I figured my brothers scared you off.
Ho-ho.
No.
No.
It'd take more than them to keep me away from you.
Or you away from me, for that matter.
Now, what makes you think you're so special? Oh, I don't know.
I've been special all my life.
There isn't anything I wanted I didn't get.
Well, ain't you the lucky one? No, it's not luck.
You know, most people are afraid to go after what they really want.
You know, I'll bet you all your life you've had men hanging around you hemming and hawing afraid to tell you what they really think, at least straight-out.
I knew what they were thinking by the time I was 14.
Don't matter where they come from, or how old they were they all acted the same.
Till me.
I'm gonna open a whole new world for you.
A world you have never seen.
You sure do talk a good game.
[CHUCKLES.]
Talking is the second best thing I do.
I gotta get back in.
Now, when you get off work tomorrow night l'm gonna be waiting for you right over there.
I don't know.
If you don't show up you will always wonder what might've happened.
[DOOR CLOSES.]
Hey there, Sly.
[CHUCKLING.]
Casey.
Oh, God.
- I never thought I'd see you back here.
- Well, I guess I'm the conquering hero.
- You brought your well in? - Oh, didn't I? - I'm here to let J.
R.
Know the good news.
- That's wonderful.
- He's not here, though.
He's out of town.
- Damn.
I really wanted to see the look on his face.
- I'll let you know as soon as he gets back.
- All right.
All right, I appreciate it.
I'll be at the Singletree.
If you wanna hang around a while, I could get off early for lunch.
Well, I'm kind of busy.
[SIGHS.]
Don't you wanna see me, Casey? Look, Sly, you're a terrific person, and you're a good friend to me but, honey, you're just a secretary, and that's all you're ever gonna be.
Well, I got my eye on a lot bigger game.
I'll be in touch.
[SIGHS.]
- Tie it on tight, Daddy.
- I got it, son.
Don't you worry.
- You go buckle up.
JOHN ROSS: All right.
J.
R.
, come over here a second.
Yeah? Are you sure you don't wanna come back with us right now? Yeah, I'm absolutely certain.
After you and the boys went to sleep last night, I took a little stroll.
And right down there, just on the other side of town is the most perfect spot you've ever seen.
Just great for development for sportsmen and tourists and things like that, you know.
So I'm gonna stick around, try and find the owner, and sew this place up.
I'll tell you, as soon as I laid eyes on it, I just had to own it.
Tell me what Ewing Oil is gonna do with a piece of property miles from nowhere.
Well, Bobby, I know I'm not allowed to play any part in the oil business but I am free to make a decision like this.
At least I think I am.
You sure there's not another reason you wanna hang around this town? - When are you gonna start believing in me? - All right.
I'll see you back at the ranch.
Well, boys, you're off.
John Ross, you made a great shot.
You're a wonderful hunter, a real Ewing.
I'm proud of you, son.
We had fun, didn't we? We sure did.
Can't wait to go hunting again.
We will, just as soon as we can.
- I'll see you in a couple days.
- All right.
Bye, Dad.
- Bye.
- Bye.
LUC Y: Casey.
[BOTH LAUGH.]
- Oh, I'm so excited about the news.
- I wanted you to be the first to know.
- I couldn't believe it.
- I was hoping you'd be pleased.
Pleased? I'm hysterical.
I can't tell you how excited I was to let you know the news.
That was more important to me than anything else.
- Was it really? - Yeah.
- Why? - Oh, I don't know.
Because I wanted it to be special.
Because you're special to me, Lucy.
Real special.
I think I felt it the first time I saw you.
And I think you felt it too.
Am I right? - Let's not get too serious here.
- Why not? Why not get serious? What's stopping us? I don't think I'm ready for a new relationship just yet.
But if you were? Well, if I were, you're not too bad.
You go put your glad rags on.
We're gonna light up this town.
- Well, all right.
But give me five minutes.
- Three.
Okay, you got it.
[SIGHS.]
[SIGHS.]
Damn.
Do I love this place.
I knew you'd come.
I think maybe I shouldn't have.
Well, you wanted to see me.
See what would happen.
I reckon.
You sure are different.
[CHUCKLES.]
Well that's why you're here.
You just came right after me.
Like there was never no question you were gonna get what you wanted.
Well, I told you, I always get what I want.
Yeah, you told me lots of things.
But not about your boy.
Or your wife.
How long you been married? A long time.
But not anymore.
My wife was an alcoholic and she started cheating on me almost from the first day we were married.
And I stayed with her.
I tried.
Lord knows I tried.
But then, one day, she just ran off.
Left me and my son, and ran.
I didn't think I was ever gonna get over that.
She just broke my heart.
And I didn't want any other women.
Didn't need them.
Didn't want them.
Till I saw you.
Why me? Unless you think I'll just fall into bed because I feel sorry for you.
No, what I thought was that you don't belong here.
You belong where I come from.
Not working in some little backwater bar.
You need your own place.
Refined clothes and jewelry and servants to wait on you and me there sharing it with you.
You wanna do that? Take me back with you? [SIGHS.]
I couldn't think of anything finer than to have a beautiful young woman like you for my very own.
You think you're the first one that ever said that to me? Oh.
I'm the first one to admit it.
Don't you have dreams? I can get you anything you want.
Anything you dreamed of l'll get it for you.
You have dreams, don't you? Sure, I have them.
When I wake up, I'm right back here in Haleyville.
Reckon I always will be.
No, I don't think the good Lord intended that for you.
No.
You're much too special to end your days here.
You don't hardly know nothing about me, much less what the Lord wants for me.
All I know is you're the most beautiful creature I've ever seen and I'm not leaving this town unless I'm taking you with me.
You got my head so swimming, I don't hardly know what's real.
I'm real.
And I'm gonna prove it to you.
Uh I fooled around some, but I've never been with a man before.
Not that way.
Then this is a night we're gonna remember for a long, long time.
But not here.
Someplace that's right.
Mm.
[GUN RATTLES.]
You're a dead man.
NARRATOR: Next on Dallas: I can make you two boys the richest men in this town.
- Uhn! Shut up! - Hasn't he spent time with you? He's the greatest father ever.
He's doing business there.
He'll be back.
- I'm talking about marriage.
- You mean that? You want me to be a partner in Ewing Oil? That's the dumbest thing I ever heard.
CLAYTON: Good luck, Mac.
- Same to you, Clayton.
- Doesn't matter who was right or wrong.
- Just get back on your white horse and ride out of my life.
CALLY: Hurry! MAN: Get him, boy! - Ha-ha-ha.
- Get him.
Come on.
Come on!
