Dallas s12e04 Episode Script

NARRATOR: Last on Dallas: Can I bring you something from the bar? - We could be good together.
- No, we couldn't.
- Why not? - Because you want us to do the same thing that J.
R.
Has done to me all my life.
CALLY: They're my brothers.
No problem.
We were just leaving.
- You ain't going nowhere till - We're leaving.
I've never been with a man before.
- I need men I can depend on.
- They don't come cheap.
McKAY: Will that take care of it? You're a dead man.
[GUN COCKS.]
Cally, get in there and put something on.
Mister, you get them clothes on right now.
I don't know what you think happened.
Shut up and keep dressing.
I don't want you to jump to conclusions.
We ain't blind.
We can see what happened.
We're gonna make real sure it don't happen again.
With anybody.
You think you can come down here do any damn thing you please, don't you? I'm sure we can find some way of settling this.
Sure, where you come from.
Down here, we settle things our own way.
No, I'm talking about money.
More than you ever dreamed.
I can make you two boys the richest men in this town if you just forget about this whole [GRUNTS.]
I told you to shut up and get them clothes on.
Now you shut up.
What did you do that for? Just leave him alone.
You best just keep quiet.
You're in enough trouble as it is, little miss.
What are you gonna do to him? We're gonna find us the first big branch.
And then we're gonna show this city boy what a country swing is.
Heh, heh.
It's bad enough they come down here and treat us like dirt.
He's gonna pay for what he done to you.
Now, get gone.
Oh, God.
- Be the sorriest night of your life.
- Gonna wish you'd never seen our sister.
I'll take it from here, boys.
Hanks, now, you stay out of this.
- This is family business.
- Not anymore.
We caught him in bed with Cally and we ain't giving him up.
Well, I'm afraid you're gonna have to.
I told you, we're gonna handle it, Hanks.
I can't let you do that.
Tell them, sheriff.
These boys are crazy.
Mister, I suggest you just be quiet and then walk right down here.
Take one more step and it gonna be your last.
You better think about that.
Unless you really wanna be dealing with me.
Hanks, I can't believe you're on his side against us.
Oh, I'm not on his side.
But I am the sheriff here.
- I can't let you two have a necktie party.
- You know what he'd done to Cally? Damned outsiders think the whole town's a cathouse.
Yeah, well, we're still gonna have to handle it my way.
Now, you ought to thank Caleb for getting me here in time.
Otherwise, it'd be you two that I'd come looking for.
Now let's go.
- Thanks, Debbie.
- You're welcome.
- Will you be ordering lunch today? - Maybe later.
Okay.
Enjoy.
WENDELL: Are we clear about this, Barnes? - Clear as day.
An outright buy for the rest of your company.
As long as it's all cash.
Oh, it will be.
I never want you with Westar stock again.
Let's sign some paper.
Anything else I should know? Like what? Like a private entailment between you and J.
R.
Last time we did business together, you caused me considerable embarrassment.
It's clean, Jeremy.
I own it all.
Do we have a deal? We have a deal.
MAN: Well, the date is set.
All we have to do now is wait.
I waited years for this.
Another week won't make a difference.
There is something I would like you to think about.
SUE ELLEN: What's that? For your own protection, Sue Ellen, I wish you'd reconsider the settlement.
I don't want anything from J.
R.
I don't need protection.
Yes, but in the future Take something.
- That way, if you change your mind, you - I told you I only want my son.
And I have legal custody.
That you have.
Then I couldn't ask for a better settlement, could I? CLAYTON: Hey, how'd the boys like the hunting trip? BOBBY: We had a good time.
CLAYTON: Well, I heard all about John Ross' deer.
BOBBY: Well, I think that part was a little hard on him.
Well, you would never know it to hear him go on about it.
Clayton, that's what's so funny because at first, you could tell that he didn't wanna shoot a thing.
What changed his mind? What else? J.
R.
Anyway, it all worked out.
The boy couldn't be prouder.
Hey, how did Christopher like it? Well, he'll like it a whole lot more when I let him shoot a gun.
[LAUGHS.]
Well, all that matters is you had a good time.
Have you thought anymore about that proposition I offered you? Yes, I have.
I think those refineries would be a good deal for Ewing Oil.
But, Clayton, with money the way it is right now, so tight and all it might take some outside financing, that'll take time.
Well, I can understand that.
But I would like to get rid of them as soon as possible.
- One way or another, we'll do it.
- I'm with you.
We won't have to do much with that jacket.
Hang on, now.
This right sleeve is just a touch too long.
Yes, sir.
I think you're right.
Okey-dokey, that should take care of it.
Okay, we'll have all the suits done by, say, end of the week.
- That'll be fine.
- Anything else I can show you? Let me try a pair of those snakeskin boots.
The high ones.
Say, nine and a half.
Yes, sir.
Right away.
I'm telling you, hitting that well has turned my life around.
[CHUCKLES.]
This is what I call coming back to Dallas in style.
- Maybe.
- What do you mean "maybe"? From now on, when Casey Denault enters a room people gonna sit up and take notice.
Casey, I got 10 times the money you've got.
What makes you think anybody's gonna notice you? That might be a lot of money where you came from but in Dallas, you're an ant in a room full of elephants.
Well, maybe at first.
But this is just the start.
Honey, I'm talking about making it big.
Real big.
With you and I working together, honey, there is nothing we can't do.
Wait.
You're getting a little ahead of yourself.
- I never said we'd work together.
- I know that.
Now that I'll be taking half the risk, I figured you'd be more than willing.
I didn't say I wasn't willing, I just like to take things a little slower.
You're starting to sound like Cliff Barnes.
There's no time like the present, April.
- And what's wrong with Cliff? - Aside from being a wimp, nothing, I guess.
Why you ungrateful little Just remember who had the faith to back you.
If it weren't for him, you'd still be out hustling.
Look, I know that and I'm grateful.
All I'm saying is that Cliff isn't ready for any new business.
You said that yourself.
He's been through a lot lately.
That's another reason we don't need him.
He'd just hold us back.
- Here you are, sir.
What do you think? - Ooh-wee.
What do you think, darling? - Mrs.
Ewing.
So nice to see you.
- Oh, hello, Raoul.
- How are you? - Just fine.
Well, good.
Is John Ross here? Mommy.
Mommy.
Oh, hi, sweetheart.
I have missed you so much.
I missed you too.
Are you having a good time here? JOHN ROSS: Tons of it.
It's great here.
Mrs.
Ewing, can I bring you some iced tea? SUE ELLEN: No, thank you, Raoul.
Yes, I know it's great here, but I need to talk to you.
Come on, let's sit down.
What do you wanna talk about? Um Your father and I are getting a divorce.
I know.
Will I still be able to see you? Of course you will.
Anytime you want to.
That's another thing I wanted to talk to you about.
What do you mean? You remember when we talked about custody in the court the other day? Sure.
Well, even though your father and I won't be married anymore l'll still have custody of you.
You mean I have to leave here? No, that's your choice.
Good, because I like it here.
I just wanted you to know that if anytime in the future you should decide not to stay here, I'd love you to come and live with me.
Thanks, Mom.
But I think I'll always live at Southfork.
You wanna see the pictures of my deer? What deer? The one I got hunting with Daddy.
It's up in my room.
The deer? - No.
The picture.
- Oh.
I got him with one shot too.
[CHUCKLES.]
That's great.
Isn't it? Christopher didn't get one.
I'm sure Daddy thought that was wonderful.
He sure did.
He stayed up there to see about buying some land for us.
Some father.
Hasn't he spent any time with you? What do you mean? He's the greatest father ever.
He's doing business up there, he'll be back soon.
I didn't mean anything by it.
Come on.
Let's go inside.
I'd love to see your pictures.
- Great.
- Okay.
Come on.
HANKS: There you go.
[J.
R.
GRO ANS.]
Thank you.
I got it.
Say, sheriff.
What is it? Well, I just wanted to thank you again for saving me from those pea-brained brothers.
Well, we'll see how you feel after the trial's over.
No, you saved my life.
And I don't forget people who do me favors.
I sure as hell not gonna forget you, sir.
I don't know what you mean exactly but I'm gonna tell you something, and you better listen.
First off, I was born and raised and I'm gonna die in this town and I'm starting not to like your talking about it.
And those two pea-brained brothers happen to be my friends.
And rape, that's a hell of a serious charge.
As far as I can tell l'd have saved the people of this town a whole lot of trouble if I had let those boys have at you.
Hell, I didn't rape anybody.
She's the age of consent, she consented, that's all.
Oh, shut your yap.
Talking about sweet little Cally like that.
You're right.
You're right, sheriff.
I am? About what? Well, I'll tell you.
I just feel terrible about the way I treated them, Cally and her brothers.
[CHUCKLING.]
Oh, so now you see the light, huh? Well, sir, you've made me see the way I lead my life.
I know this sounds silly but it's not easy living with all that money.
People are always trying to get at it.
And I suppose over the years having to deal with people like that made me a little cold.
Sure looks like it did make you cold.
Well, I feel terrible about it and I just wish there was something I could do.
Well, you might tell the justice of the peace how you feel.
I mean, he might have some sympathy for you.
- Justice of the peace? - That's right.
He's gonna try me? Heh.
Better than you deserve.
Well, what about a judge? Well, we ain't got one.
Besides, we don't need one.
The justice, he's a fair man.
- I'd like to get to a phone if you don't mind.
- No.
- I think I'm entitled to one phone call.
- You're entitled to nothing.
Now, this ain't Dallas or wherever you're from.
This is Hayleyville.
You break the law here, you're gonna pay for it.
But our way, not yours.
Sheriff, you're making a big mistake.
If you help me, you could end up a real fat cat.
Boy, your type makes me sick.
You'd say anything to get out of this, wouldn't you? Unless you want me to tell the justice about our little talk you just better cut it off at the roots or you're gonna add bribery to your rape charge.
ELLIE: Morning, Cliff.
- Hi, Miss Ellie.
- Is Christopher here? - Yes, he's here.
Cliff, I heard that you've sold your company to Jeremy Wendell.
- Is that true? - Yeah, it's true.
Why? When I said I was tired of the feud and the fighting everything that went along with the oil business, I meant it.
Why did you sell to Wendell? You know he'll use your company against us.
I know what it sounds like, but no.
Wendell was the only one that was interested.
He was my last resort.
- Well, what about Ewing Oil? - No.
No, no, I offered it to Bobby first, and Bobby wasn't interested.
Wendell was my only way out, and I wanted out.
Now, look, l Now, I didn't come here to argue, I just wanna see Christopher.
I think he's in the living room.
[IMITATING AIRPLANE.]
Hey, buddy.
Uncle Cliff.
- What are you doing here? - To see if you'd go to lunch.
- Sure.
- All right.
BOBBY: Hello, Cliff.
- Bobby.
I came to take Christopher to lunch.
Good idea to me.
How do you feel? - Sure.
BOBBY: Okay.
Wait in the car.
- He'll be out in a minute.
CHRISTOPHER: Okay, Daddy.
Cliff.
- Why didn't you tell me about Pam? - I told you.
- It was just a wild-goose chase.
- No.
I spoke to April and I know what really happened.
Now, why didn't you tell me? - I tried to.
I just couldn't.
- Why? The words, they just wouldn't come.
I knew what it would do to you.
Well, it wouldn't have been any harder on me than on you.
I couldn't do it to you.
Cliff, I know you did what you thought was right.
But knowing about Pam is important to me.
And you were right in a way.
At first when April told me, it did hurt.
But I think it helped.
How so? All that time that I spent wondering about her thinking in the back of my mind that maybe she'd come back to me.
Don't you see? Now I know exactly where I stand.
She's made the decision.
She doesn't wanna come back in my life.
I don't think April meant to, but I guess she did you a favor.
I know she didn't mean it as a favor.
No, she didn't because she was mad about the way you dumped her because of J.
R.
I explained all of that to her.
It had nothing to do with J.
R.
I had Pam on my mind.
I wasn't fit to be with anybody else.
- You know women.
- Yeah, well, I thought I did.
I'm gonna head out, Christopher's in the car.
Listen, I, uh I wanna thank you for what you tried to do.
And if you ever wanna come and see your nephew, be my guest.
- Well, Cally, what are you doing here? - I have to see him, Hanks.
HANKS: What about? CALLY: Because I feel so bad.
I mean, after what he's done to me and all.
I just wanna give him a piece of my mind before they send him off to prison.
Why not? Go ahead in, honey.
Well, if it ain't Mr.
J.
R.
Ewing.
Right where he ought to be.
Behind bars.
You may think you're the only one paying for this, but you're not.
Do you know how everybody looks at me when I walk down the street? Like dirt under their feet.
People talking about me behind my back.
And all because of you.
Damn you, the way you sweet-talked me.
You know, I don't know why I was so happy when the sheriff showed up.
My brothers, they'd have made you pay proper for what you've done to me.
No, you don't deserve to go to prison.
It's too damn good for you.
[IN HUSHED VOICE.]
I'm sorry.
I didn't think it was gonna turn out this way.
Neither did I.
You have to get to a phone.
Call my brother.
I can't.
There's only two phones in town, and they ain't gonna let me use either one.
You're gonna have to help get me out of here.
Well, how can I do that? That old hack out there shouldn't be too difficult for a smart girl like you.
And if I do help, what then? It's my neck on the line and no guarantee you're not gonna run for the closest hill.
Oh, how can you say that? You know how I feel about you.
Do I? HANKS: You all right, Cally? [IN NORMAL VOICE.]
Sure.
I'm just watching this pig sweat.
HANKS: Don't take too long back there now.
Cally, you're the most beautiful, exciting woman I've ever met.
Now, a man would be a fool to run away from you.
So when we do get out of here, Dallas is our next stop, darling.
And I'll get you anything you ever wanted.
All I want is you.
Well, help me and I'm yours.
In what way? Well, I told you before what I'd do.
Yeah, but I don't wanna end up in Dallas being your fancy lady.
I'm talking about marriage.
You and me.
You really mean that? Help me and I'll prove it.
I'll find a way.
No matter what, I'll find a way.
I can't wait.
And don't you forget it, Mr.
J.
R.
Ewing.
SUE ELLEN: Kelly, show Mr.
Burke in.
KELLY [O VER INTERCOM.]
: Yes, ma'am.
Mrs.
Ewing, I'm Roger Burke from Oak Royal Incorporated.
Nice to meet you, Mr.
Burke.
- Please, sit down.
- Thank you.
Mrs.
Ewing, let me get right to the point.
Oak Royal is diversifying.
We're looking for an investment that might be thought of as far afield for a company like ours.
You're interested in Valentine's.
Yes, it looks like a perfect venture for us.
That's always nice to hear.
Mr.
Burke, I must tell you that we have had other offers.
We didn't believe that we'd be the only ones bidding.
But we do believe that our offer will far surpass any of the previous ones.
And we're willing to prove it.
Certainly sounds like it.
I think we can do business.
[KNOCKING ON DOOR.]
Hi.
What do you want? I'd like to talk.
What about? Um, could I come in? So, what do you think we have to talk about? First of all, April, don't treat me this way.
I come in peace.
Was I treating you badly? Forgive me.
Why would anybody wanna treat poor Bobby Ewing badly? April, come on.
No, you come on.
If anybody's gotten bad treatment, it's me, not you.
You're right.
What does that get me, an apology? Yes.
I hope you accept it.
You amaze me.
You expect me to forgive you for everything just so you feel better about yourself? April, that's not the way it is at all.
I'm just saying it doesn't matter whose fault it was.
Doesn't matter who was right or who was wrong.
It's in the past now, and I wanna put it behind us, and I wanna start over again.
Hopefully as friends.
- Friends? - Yes.
I don't need any more friends.
We're never gonna be what we should have been.
So why don't you just get back on your white horse and ride the hell out of my life? [DOOR CLOSES.]
[CRYING.]
[JACKIE SIGHS.]
It's so sad.
Why are you doing this, Cliff? It's just a name.
Doesn't mean anything to me anymore.
Besides, the offices will still be here.
You still have a job.
I know.
It's just that I've worked for Barnes-Wentworth for so many years.
Oh, you'll still be working for me.
I guess I'm just worried about you, Cliff.
This was all so sudden.
I appreciate that.
I appreciate that but from now on, I'll be okay.
[PIANO PLAYING.]
I mean it.
Since I hit that well, my whole life has turned around.
You know what it proved to me? That I'm really worth something.
Well, I'm happy for you.
Well, it's just a start.
Oh, yeah? Towards what? Towards my future.
I'm gonna spend every waking moment building it into something worthwhile.
Just how much will it take to put out that fire that's burning inside of you? I don't know.
It keeps burning brighter all the time.
Huh.
The new Casey Denault, huh? Will be.
I'll tell you, nothing's gonna stop me now.
It doesn't matter how hard I have to work to do it.
A lot of people like to live that way, I suppose.
Well, what's wrong with it? Nothing.
Maybe not for you anyway.
Well, what about you? I'm not judging what you're doing with your life because there's nothing wrong with being ambitious.
So what then? The next time I get involved with somebody I need to be number one on his list.
I've had it the other way around and I just can't be happy settling for less.
Lucy, look at me.
Do you think I'd let you be any less than number one in my life? I don't know.
The way you were talking didn't seem like there was a whole lot of room for me in your life.
Hey, did you think I was gonna do all that work alone? I'm gonna have lots of people working for me.
Taking care of all those little things.
And that'll leave me all the time in the world for the things that are more important.
You're number one.
You just wait till we're married.
You'll see.
I'm already married.
Remember? Yeah.
And I'm trying to forget.
HANKS: Well, Cally.
Hey, what do you got there? Fried chicken.
They had it special tonight.
Ask me to bring some to you.
Well, thank you.
Oh, that looks good too.
Go.
Dig in.
Don't mind if I do.
Is that, uh, other one for him? Yeah, it is but serve him right not to get any.
Well, a prisoner has the right to eat too.
Go ahead.
Take it back, honey.
Yes, sir.
I got your dinner.
I hope you choke on it.
Just give it to me and shut up.
Hey.
Tomorrow night, after Hanks locks up, maybe then.
Oh.
This better work.
We're running out of time.
- I'll come through.
You'll see.
- I love to hear you talk like that.
- Tomorrow night.
- I'll be here.
No, you can't have no more.
You got more than you deserve.
- Did you see Cliff this morning? - Yeah, we talked for a minute.
He's very serious about ending the feud.
He seems, uh Oh, I don't know.
He seems sort of He's lost his spark.
CHRISTOPHER: He really didn't say much at lunch.
Just kind of said that I was all he had left.
I feel very badly for Cliff.
My daddy always said he was a jerk.
Well, Cliff and your daddy will never be friends but that doesn't mean the rest of us can't be.
Mama, is all this leading up to something? ELLIE: In a way.
This feud has ripped into both of our families for years.
You know as well as I do what it's done to us.
Cliff has shown that he wants it over.
And I think it's time to show that it's over for the Ewings too.
Well, you know as far as I'm concerned, it is over.
Well, if that's true, I, uh I have an idea for you.
BOBBY: Oh, yeah? What's that? I think that you and Cliff should go into business together.
I think that you should make him a partner in Ewing Oil.
[LAUGHING.]
- You're not serious.
- Yes, I am.
And if you think about it, there are a lot of good reasons why.
Okay.
Name one.
ELLIE: Well, it would be a sign of good faith to prove that the old wounds are healed.
Not to mention the fact that we're the closest thing left that Cliff has to a family.
Are you and Uncle Cliff really gonna work together? Just hold on a second, son.
Mama, it's a full-time job for me just to keep my eye on J.
R.
I can't imagine J.
R.
And Cliff even being in the same building together.
Well, you're the president of Ewing Oil now, Bobby I think you can keep the two of them in line.
Don't you think so? Oh, yeah.
It's a piece of cake.
McKAY: Well if something doesn't give soon, I'm not gonna have any alternative.
I don't think things are bad enough to sell any cattle.
CLAYTON: I don't see any encouraging signs.
McKAY: Well, I can't let myself think that way.
I know that things are gonna change for the better.
The way things are going you can't get half of what these cattle are worth off the auction floor.
That's for damn sure.
A smart rancher, no matter how big or little ought to hold on to his cattle.
He'll be glad he did come the end of this drought.
Well, I'll say this for you, Mac.
You have got a positive outlook.
Have you given any thought to new water wells? I've got a crew out at my place right now digging some new ones.
River's down a foot in a week.
Lord knows how long that's gonna keep running.
Well, I thought about it.
If things don't change, I may have to try it.
- You had any luck so far? - No.
Everything's been dust up to now.
But like I said, no matter what it takes l'm gonna see to it that these cattle have all the water that they need.
Well, good luck to you, Mac.
Same to you, Clayton.
Same to you.
BOBBY: All right.
Concentrate.
That's one, two All right.
- I did it, huh? - You sure did.
That was real good.
Do it again, okay? - Okay.
- Okay.
Now, hang on right there.
Keep your mind on it.
Let me get out of your way.
One, two I did it again.
You're gonna make some ranch hand here if you keep that up.
Do you really think so? I know so.
Okay, one last time.
Okay.
Watch.
I didn't miss by much.
No, you didn't.
I just think you're a little over-practiced.
That's all.
I gotta go to work, okay? Okay.
- Dad? - What? Did you think about it? Did I think about what? You know, working with Uncle Cliff.
Uh, yeah, I thought about it some.
Come on, Dad.
Working with Uncle Cliff would be great.
Yeah, sure it would.
Oh, boy.
How neat.
My daddy and my two uncles working together.
Yeah.
That'll be real neat.
Come on now.
You gotta get back to the ranch, okay? Come on.
Let's go.
Ready? LUC Y: I cannot believe you talked me into this.
Well, there's no turning back now.
Jet's all rented and ready to go.
- Did I tell you I hate to fly? - There's nothing to it.
Besides, Oklahoma City is so close, you won't even know we're in the air.
- Look how small it is.
I mean, I never - Lucy, you gotta stop this.
How you ever gonna get to know me unless you see where I grew up? Not to mention your first oil well.
Well, I thought we might wander out that way look things over.
- I thought so.
Well, that's not all.
You're gonna love Oklahoma City.
You get to meet all my old friends.
Oh, lucky me.
No, lucky them.
And me.
Now, come on.
Let's not keep them waiting.
- Looks like your waiting time is about over.
J.
R: Is it? The J.
P.
Should be getting back tomorrow, so I'm locking up early tonight.
And what if Cally's brothers try something? I talked to them.
They're gonna behave.
- You're not gonna leave me here, are you? - Oh, no.
The deputy will be out front.
If I were you, I'd be more worried about my trial tomorrow than Cally's brothers.
I don't believe it.
A justice of the peace can't try anybody.
What kind of a town is this? Knock it off.
You can say all you have to say tomorrow.
But you ought to try to get a good night's sleep.
Because where you're going, heh, heh it's gonna be a long time before you get another one.
[CHUCKLING.]
[CHATTERING.]
[ROCK MUSIC PLAYING O VER SPEAKERS.]
What will it be? A little help.
What's that? You see this girl, you give me a call.
My name and number is on the back.
You a private detective or something? Something.
Keep an eye out.
All right.
OFFICER: What are you doing here at this hour? Well, I just wanna make sure he's still here.
- Well, lookie there.
- Where? [GRUNTS.]
J.
R: Why did you wait so long? Well, when I got home, I swear my brothers acting like they knew something was up.
I thought I'd never get out.
They took turns guarding the house.
If Boaz hadn't fallen asleep, I might never have made it.
- Would you just get on with it? - I'm trying.
What's the best way to put time between us and the sheriff? Follow me.
It's my brothers that scare me more than Hanks.
[PANTING.]
- Look, I got to rest.
- No, we can't.
Not yet.
No, l I can't go another foot.
He must know we're missing.
We got to keep moving.
J.
R: You gotta give me a minute, honey.
[DOG BARKING.]
I can't believe the sheriff caught up with us.
I hope that's the sheriff.
That sure sounds like Japhet's dog.
Oh, God.
Come on.
Hello, Jackie.
- Hi, Bobby.
- Hi.
- It's slow around here, isn't it? - Slow is not the word.
You're the first person I've seen in this office all week.
- Is Cliff in? - Yeah, let me buzz him.
- Cliff.
CLIFF [O VER INTERCOM.]
: Yeah? - Bobby Ewing is here to see you.
- Show him in.
- Can I get you some coffee or something? - No, thank you.
CLIFF: Hey, Bobby.
What can I do for you? - Cliff, I have a proposition for you.
- What is it? You know the refineries I told you about that Clayton wanted to sell me? I remember you telling me, but what's it got to do with me? I need some backing.
Didn't see a sign on the door? I'm out of the business.
- Yeah, to do what? - I don't know.
Kick back, relax.
I don't know.
But I'm out.
I'll loan you some money.
No, no, no.
I'm sorry.
I didn't make myself very clear.
I don't just want backing.
I wanna make you a partner in Ewing Oil.
You want me to be a partner in Ewing Oil? Bobby, that's got to be the dumbest thing I ever heard.
All right.
I admit, it sounded crazy to me too at first but, Cliff, the more I thought about it, I think it can work.
Well, I don't.
Isn't J.
R.
Working for you again? He will be.
But it doesn't make any difference.
I'm the president.
You'll be working with me.
I can't imagine J.
R.
And I being under the same roof.
Listen, by the time he gets back, you'll be all moved in.
- Where is he? - He's off chasing some deal.
But it doesn't make any difference.
It's like putting gas on a fire.
I'm prepared to take care of whatever comes up.
Thanks for the offer, but I can't.
Why? Bobby, I can't imagine myself being part of Ewing Oil.
Golly, I spent my whole life fighting it.
Well, all right, this is our chance to bury the past once and for all.
We can do it.
This got anything to do with Pam? Yeah, I guess it does.
Cliff, in the last couple of weeks, I saw a part of you that I liked.
It's really all so strange.
I'll think about it, but I don't think it can work.
All right.
You think on it.
When you're ready to talk, I'll buy you a beer.
- Okay.
- See you later.
Oh, my, oh, my.
Cliff Barnes and J.
R.
, partners.
Oh.
Hmm.
Old Digger and Jock would spin in their graves.
Hurry.
Those hounds are getting closer.
I'm doing the best I can.
Attaboy.
Here we go.
Hey, captain.
JAPHET: Hey, look at old Blue.
BO AZ: I didn't know they were close.
Get him, boy.
JAPHET: Hold on.
BO AZ: Come on.
Hurry.
- Come on, look at old Blue.
- All right, now we're close.
- Get him, boy.
JAPHET: Oh! [GRUNTING.]
[DOGS BARKING.]
Oh, yeah, boy.
Oh, you're doing good.
[CALLY GRUNTING.]
Keep going.
If my brothers catch you, they'll kill you.
All right.
I'll send for you.
JAPHET: Come on.
You're lucky.
Lucky it was me again.
I hope you had fun.
Because it's gonna cost you a lot of time in a place that I guarantee you ain't gonna be able to escape from.
- Now move it.
- I gotta rest, sheriff.
Ah.
After your trial's over, you can get all the rest you want.
Now, I told you, move it.
- Move.
- All right.
Cally Harper.
I reckon the shame for what you've done is punishment enough.
But as for you Mr.
J.
R.
Ewing I find you guilty on all counts brought before this court.
This is the biggest miscarriage of justice I've ever heard of.
I mean, you people got to be kidding.
I can buy this whole town for the change I got in my pocket.
My family, they'll be looking for me.
When they find me, it's gonna be the saddest day of your lives.
- I guarantee you - You sit down and take what you got coming to you.
Mr.
Ewing.
While you say that you have enough money to buy this town And well, you might.
- It's going to be a long time before you can get your hands on any of it.
[PEOPLE MURMURING.]
Got a new body for you.
Got a name? J.
R.
Ewing.
How long is Mr.
Ewing gonna be with us? Ten years.
NARRATOR: Next on Dallas: - Boss, I gotta talk.
- You don't talk on the road.
What do you think you're doing damming the river? I'm just protecting what's mine.
You are my favorite lady in Dallas.
And I, for one, would like to help you in any way I can.
MAN: Let's go.
[GRUNTING.]
You don't mess with her.
She knows how to handle herself.
CAPTAIN: This is your world.
And I am your only god.
Captain PILOT: Mr.
Farlow, leave at once.
