Dallas s12e11 Episode Script

NARRATOR: Last on Dallas: - You wanna marry me? - One day.
SUE ELLEN: I would rather sleep with J.
R.
Than sleep with you.
And I'd rather sleep with a carnival geek than J.
R.
- I hit oil before.
I can do it again.
- Not with our money, you won't.
You started the range war? So I told Hughes to kill anyone who stood in my way.
Mr.
Wendell, I'm placing you under arrest.
What are you doing here? You just left me there and ran.
But we was married.
- Did you marry this girl? - I suppose I did, but Then you own up to it and do the right thing.
CALLY: It sure was quiet at dinner, Miss Ellie.
I always thought city folks talked a lot during supper because they had so much to say about what happened during the day.
- We usually do, Cally.
- I mean, it was quiet as a church.
Course, my brothers and me, we don't talk about nothing except maybe plowing or slopping the pigs.
You think it was my fault? No, no, I think things are a bit new between us.
Your arrival was, uh, very unexpected.
I guess J.
R.
Never did say nothing about me.
No.
No, he didn't.
- Bet he never figured I'd show up here.
JOHN ROSS: Grandma.
We finished dinner.
ELLIE: Good.
I'll have Teresa pick up your trays.
John Ross and Christopher, I'd like you to meet Cally.
- Hi.
- Hi.
Are you friend of Lucy's? Your fathers are downstairs.
Why don't you ask them to explain about Cally? Okay.
- The big one's J.
R.
's, ain't he? - Yes.
Funny, I don't remember him being that old.
Now, I thought you might like to stay in this room until you and J.
R.
Get things sorted out.
Oh, ain't this beautiful? I never seen nothing like this.
Except maybe in a magazine or something.
Oh, my.
Is that there just for this room? Mm-hm.
That's right.
Something like that sure makes a body feel special.
So who is she, Dad? Oh, uh, just a little farm girl from up around Haleyville.
I remember her.
She worked in the restaurant.
Yeah, that's right.
- Yeah, but what is she doing here? - Oh, she just came to visit.
Did you invite her? - Uh, no, not exactly.
BOBBY: J.
R.
Well, the fact is, son, I married her.
Married her? When? Well, it's kind of complicated, but, uh, she's not gonna be around long.
Why don't you boys go watch TV in the den or something? - Okay.
- Okay.
Well, go ahead, say it.
I told you not to mess around with the local talent in that town.
I've been through hell because of that girl.
I don't need lectures.
- Well, you didn't have to marry her, pal.
- I didn't? Her brothers would've killed me if I hadn't.
- Those guys we had trouble with in the bar? - That's right.
Well, maybe I should've let them beat some sense into you then.
Get off my back, will you? She's nothing but a little hillbilly.
Heh.
She's a hillbilly with a marriage license.
Well, I'm gonna take care of that soon enough.
Yeah, I guess you're right.
Divorcing her would be a lot kinder than staying married to her.
Mama should've had her tubes tied right after I was born.
Thank you for a safe trip and thank you for giving me such a nice family.
Clayton and Bobby and especially Miss Ellie.
And if it's not asking too much can you make J.
R.
Love me the way he did in Haleyville? [KNOCKING ON DOOR.]
Thank you.
I'm coming.
- Cally, we have to talk.
- I'm not talking to you here.
You said we weren't married, so you just get out of my room.
It won't take long.
You're not gonna sweet-talk me into bed again, so just go on.
Please, just listen to me for a minute.
Cally, things are different here than they were in Haleyville.
You just don't belong.
Everybody knows I'm a fair man.
I'll set you up with plenty of money.
You'll never have to worry.
Is that your answer for everything? Money? Well, let's be practical.
In this case, money is the right answer.
You think money's what I come here for? You'll be the richest person in Haleyville.
And you can help your brothers too.
I can't go back to Haleyville.
When I told Japhet and Boaz I was gonna try to find you well, we had a terrible fight.
They said you was lying about how you felt just to save your neck.
Well, that's not all true.
I was dumb, wasn't I? You don't love me.
All you ever wanted was just to get me in bed.
Cally you're so sweet and unspoiled.
You don't have to go back.
I can set you up in a nice little shop and a nice little house and you'll never have to be alone.
I could come and visit you every once in a while.
I told you once, I'm not gonna end up being your fancy lady.
Either you tell everybody I'm your wife or you just stay away from me.
- Oh, come on, now.
- No, I mean it.
Good night, Cally.
J.
R.
Sweet dreams, Cally.
I found this on the dresser.
I didn't realize that Oil Barons' Ball was so soon.
ELLIE: I left it out to remind me of the date.
I answered for the family weeks ago.
It's on the same day that we go to Europe to see Ray and Jenna.
I changed the flight.
We leave at midnight, after the ball.
If I was still an oil baron, I'd be excited about going to the party too.
- We have an agreement, J.
R.
- And I stand foursquare behind it, Bobby.
Are you saying you're not gonna be there? No, Mama, I'll be there.
I'm not gonna let the family down.
What about you, Bobby? I'm gonna ask Tracey Lawton to go with me if she and McKay get back from Florida.
Florida? They're going to see his son in the hospital.
I'm gonna drop them off at the airport.
Getting kind of cozy with McKay, aren't you, Bob? What's that suppose to mean? Well, he worked for Jeremy Wendell.
Isn't that enough? He explained all that.
You bought that story about having to rescue his son, but I didn't.
- That story was the truth.
- Bobby, McKay was with Westar.
Now, that's not my favorite company.
They're very devious people.
Well, you are an expert on devious.
How is your child bride? - I'll take care of that.
- I'm sure you will.
- I gotta get a limo.
- Bye.
J.
R.
, you sound so cold.
You talk about Cally like she's some deal that didn't work out.
I don't need you all checking up on my love life.
- I'm a grown man, you know.
- That's debatable.
If you'll excuse me We're gonna go worldwide with automatic teller machines.
They'll take any credit card, any bank card and they'll automatically compute the rate of exchange in foreign countries.
Well, I'm afraid I have no expertise in banking.
You don't have to.
I have enough for both of us.
Well, let me think about it.
Not too long.
It's a hot deal, really hot.
Thank you, Mr.
Nakas.
Leave your card with my secretary.
Goodbye.
- Uh, Kelly, uh, can you come in please? KELLY [O VER INTERCOM.]
: Yes, Mrs.
Ewing.
I don't wanna see any more people like that coming in for financing.
They'll have to be all screened by my banker.
Yes, ma'am.
I'll start that right now.
- Thank you.
BRUCE: Hi, lucky people.
I'm back.
Bruce Harvey.
Kelly, we should have changed those rules yesterday.
Mrs.
Ewing, you look more beautiful than ever.
Oh! These are for you.
Their beauty pales in your presence.
Heh.
Thank you.
- Kelly, could you put these in water for me? - Certainly.
- Young, isn't she? Heh.
- Heh.
Well, Bruce Harvey, what brings you all the way from Hollywood? Sit down.
- Thank you.
May I? - Thank you.
I wanted to personally hand you your share of the profits from the Mandy Winger film.
As you can see, it was a hit.
Yes, it was.
Of course, it would've been considerably larger but there's the usual cost for prints, negatives uh, demos, advertising, promotions, et cetera, et cetera.
Um, there will, of course, be a full accounting in the mail.
Well, this is a surprise.
Uh, but you could've mailed it.
Nope.
I wanted to talk business with you.
I have a great new property and an even greater star, Mandy Winger.
I haven't been a fan of Mandy Winger since I found out she was sleeping with my husband.
No problem, we can dump her.
This is a great property.
I don't know.
Read.
We'll talk.
Dinner, 8:00? - You don't give up, do you? - No, not when we're on a roll.
I see.
Hi.
I'm Cally.
- I'm Lucy.
- I was looking for Miss Ellie.
- She and Clayton went shopping.
- Oh.
I was wondering where the laundry tub was at.
I got a few things that I'd like to rinse out.
Oh, just give them to the servants.
That's their job.
Oh, I'm sorry.
I didn't know.
LUC Y: Wait a minute.
Who are you, anyway? Cally Ewing.
Ewing? Are you cousin or something? No.
I'm Mrs.
J.
R.
Ewing.
You're kidding.
What, you too? Look, do I have prove who I am to everyone in this house? Maybe I just ought to get me a big old sign and paste it on my chest.
Can I just ask how old you are? Near 24.
How did he talk you into marrying him? Well, it looks like I'm the only one who wanted to get married.
But married I'm gonna stay.
I don't believe it.
You can leave and you're gonna stay? I love him.
Well, if you're gonna stay, we ought to do something about you.
What do you mean? Well, your clothes, for one thing.
Yeah.
And your hair and your makeup.
- I'm gonna take you shopping.
- Oh, but I don't have no money.
Oh, J.
R.
Does.
Besides, I'm gonna teach you the only two words you need to know.
- What are they? - "Charge it.
" J.
R.
, can't you be honest with anyone? I'm your lawyer.
Anything we say in here is privileged.
I knew that wasn't some friend you were telling me about.
Harv, would you save your lecture for the chicken-a-la-king circuit? Okay, down to business.
Now, you know drill with divorce.
You wanna file in Dallas or in Haleyville? I don't want a divorce, I want an annulment.
- Wasn't the marriage consummated? - Well, what does that means nowadays? The fact is, I was forced to marry her or her brother would kill me.
Do you have proof of that? - No.
- Any witnesses? No.
- Did you ever promise to marry the girl? - Well, it's my word against hers.
But I promised to marry her as I was literally digging my own grave.
Well, J.
R.
, I'm afraid the annulment can't be handled from Dallas.
You're gonna have to go to Haleyville for that.
We can probably prove that the felony charge was trumped up.
It'll give us foundation for our case.
I can't go back to Haleyville.
If I set foot in that town, they'll kill me.
In that case, J.
R.
, I'm afraid you're legally married until death or the divorce court, whichever comes first.
Oh, I am glad we decided to do this instead of eating.
Yeah, me too.
Well, now, listen, I'm glad you don't think I'm cheap because we skipped lunch.
[LAUGHING.]
See, uh, unfortunately, some people think I'm a bit frugal.
You've been very generous with me.
With all those big meals at lunchtime since I met you, I think I gained a dress size.
No, you haven't.
Do you think this is anything like Venice? - A little.
- A little? TAMMY: Thank you.
Hey, watch it.
- Cliff Barnes.
What are you doing here? - Same thing you're doing here.
Heh, what, taking your date on a dollar boat ride? Oh, I get it.
You're trying to impress the lady.
Tammy Miller, uh - Clark James.
Glad to meet you.
CLIFF: Mr.
James.
- Hello.
- My pleasure.
Marilee Stone.
- Hello.
- Right.
Listen, I couldn't believe it when I heard that you were partnered in Ewing Oil.
The feud's over, Marilee.
- Heh.
Does J.
R.
Know that? - He has nothing to do with oil.
- You mean this week.
- No, I mean forever.
You know, Cliff, you've always lived in a little fantasy.
Listen, if this is practice putdown l'd just as soon take my friend into some of the shops.
Heh, well, I was gonna stop by your office later, but to save me the trip take a look at this.
Potentially big gas strike in Louisiana.
Jordan Lee and I are partnered in picking up the leases.
- You and Bobby interested? - Might be.
- Let me talk to Bobby.
I'll call you.
- All right.
Come on, hon.
Well, bye, Cliff.
- Have a fun afternoon.
- Cliff.
Tammy.
- She's a very rude woman.
- Oh, Marilee.
She runs an oil company.
And I think somewhere along the line her brain cells got scrambled with dollar signs.
- Were you and she ever? Heh.
- No, uh-uh, no.
Nope, nope.
Tammy, for the first time in a long time, I feel like getting back in the harness.
I feel like I should call Jordan Lee, tell him I saw Marilee before I tell Bobby.
And I need to do that.
I think I'll go do that.
So can I drop you somewhere? You go ahead.
I'm gonna stay and do some shopping.
- Okay.
- Okay.
- I'll call you.
- Great.
She's coming down now.
Well, come on.
What do you think? - Good evening, Cally.
- Evening, Miss Ellie.
What the hell is that? Lucy took me shopping.
See? I told you, all she needed was a little help.
Don't you like it? Mama, I'll be having dinner in town tonight.
J.
R.
Why don't you sit down, Cally? I don't know if I can sit down in this.
LUC Y: Sure you can.
Just don't be self-conscious.
- Cally, can I make you a drink? CALLY: Oh, no, thank you.
Lucy, I don't wanna hurt your feelings or nothing but I just don't feel like I'm dressed right.
Cally, why don't you go upstairs and change? We'll hold dinner for you.
Oh, but I don't have nothing fancy to put on.
Oh, that's all right.
And tomorrow we go into town and buy you some new clothes and pick out a dress for the Oil Barons' Ball.
- What's that? ELLIE: The social event of the Dallas season.
- And I'm invited to that? - You're J.
R.
's wife.
Well, everybody seems to say so but him.
All I ever hoped for is that we'd share the same bed and he'd take supper with me.
But I don't think that's gonna happen.
LUC Y: Hmm.
I thought she looked terrific.
SUE ELLEN: I read the script.
- Great, wasn't it? Well, I have a hard time understanding outer space.
What's to understand? Look what, uh, Alien did for Sigourney Weaver.
You think this will do the same for Mandy Winger? Absolutely.
But what will this do for Sue Ellen Ewing? This is gonna make us, you, a couple of million dollars.
- After all the studio costs come off the top.
- You learn fast.
Aren't those, um, outer-space special effects very costly? - Now I'm really surprised.
- Heh.
I talked to some friends in Los Angeles after I read the script.
Look, you could've asked me anything.
I wanted a second opinion.
So, what do you wanna do? I wanna be the person the studio accountants work for.
I ran my own business, and I don't want someone looking over my shoulder.
You talk like somebody that wants to own a studio.
How do I go about that? - All it takes is money.
- I have that.
- And know-how.
- You have that.
Your friend in L.
A.
Said that? He gave you very good report card but I've had my own experience with you.
I think we ought to fly to the coast and look things over.
- No commitment yet.
- I understand.
- I'll set up some meetings for tomorrow.
- Fine.
Oh, and, uh, there's just one more thing.
No Mandy Winger.
Who? [SIGHS.]
CALLY: Morning, John Ross.
I didn't think you'd still be here.
Why'd you think that? I could tell last night that my daddy doesn't like you.
- Did he tell you that? - No.
But he says that you trapped him into marrying you.
I didn't, John Ross.
You just have to believe that.
I don't.
My daddy's too smart to just marry someone he doesn't like.
He told me he loved me.
I was kind of hoping you and I could be friends.
No, we can't.
And don't expect me to call you "Mother" either.
Because I already have a mother who looks and acts like a mother not like one of the girls in my class.
BOBBY: Come on, J.
R.
Last night you hit an all-time low even for you.
Would you stay out of this? The girl doesn't have any sense.
- Why didn't you notice in Haleyville? - You don't pick women any better.
Not if you've still got the hots for that McKay girl.
Stop worrying about Carter McKay.
Ah, Little Cally will be long gone while you're still being led down the garden path by Tracey.
I stumbled onto a good deal.
Yeah, uh, I bumped into Marilee yesterday, then I talked to Jordan.
There's this great gas field in Louisiana.
Look at that, it's about 56 miles out of Opelousas.
Some guy named Wilson owns it.
The leases are up for grabs.
Look at this geology report.
I'm telling you, it's a can't-miss situation.
- Huh? - All right, so, what's the deal? Well, Marilee and Jordan, they take half, we take the rest.
Well, boys, since I don't have responsibility in the gas-and-oil deal I think I'll take an early lunch.
- Are all these oil runs up to date? - Yeah, yeah.
- This thing is going to go like crazy.
- I know it.
I'm telling you, you can't miss.
You seemed very anxious on the phone.
You're gonna have to move fast on this, April.
I want you to charter a plane and get yourself to Louisiana.
No ifs, ands and buts about this, honey.
There is a great gas field just outside of Opelousas.
- I want you to close on it today.
- Our very first deal? Ha-ha-ha.
I'll tell you, we're gonna put your little oil company on the map.
[APRIL CHEERS THEN LAUGHS.]
If my husband or your wife find us here, we're both dead.
Ha, ha.
Don't worry about that.
[GIRL SCREAMS.]
MAN 1: Cut.
Excellent.
- You two were too real.
MAN 2: Got it.
Let's move in for close-up.
Let's get the camera off the crane and onto the dolly.
- Makeup, I need lots of blood in here.
- Is that gorgeous? - Are you having fun? - Oh, I love it.
- How about a cup of coffee? - Thank you.
That blond has a certain quality.
- Why did I think you'd say that? - Ha.
- Hello.
BRUCE: Hi, Jeff.
Mrs.
Ewing, I'd like you to meet Jeff Salem, head of, uh, RAD.
- Mrs.
Ewing, a pleasure.
SUE ELLEN: Thank you.
You're not what I expected.
Oh? One of the wealthiest women in Texas, I thought you'd be, uh Frumpy? [BRUCE LAUGHING.]
Older.
Well, I'll take that as a compliment.
But don't think that'll make dealing with me any easier.
JEFF: Mm-hm.
- Mrs.
Ewing.
- Yes? I heard about the way you built up Valentine from a shoestring operation.
Of course, this isn't lingerie.
SUE ELLEN: Um, obviously.
Heh.
But after all, selling is selling.
First it takes a good product.
Then you have to find a way to promote it, advertise it, and then market it.
You're right about that.
Uh, did I tell you that Mrs.
Ewing was interested in investing in the studio? Yes.
BRUCE: This can be a real moneymaker, Mrs.
Ewing.
If you make a movie for the right price, there is no risk because the first thing you do is lock up the network sales then the off-network sales, then cable, then cassette.
Bruce is right, Mrs.
Ewing.
We have a very good management team in place here.
If I do invest l'll have to be in on all the decisions about which properties are made.
Oh, sure.
We'll share that with you.
No, no, no, heh, you don't understand.
If I do put my money into RAD Pictures, I wanna run it.
I'll be in charge.
- Ah.
- Yes, boss.
Hi.
You okay? Yeah.
How come you didn't come down to dinner? We had a great meat loaf.
Yeah, but she was there.
- You mean Cally? - What a dumb name.
I like her.
She's pretty.
I thought you were my friend.
I am.
What's that got to do with Cally? Well, I can't wait till my dad sends her packing.
That's what she deserves for tricking him into marrying her.
Why would she do that? Maybe because he's rich.
Anyhow, we don't need her.
Me and Daddy have been doing real well without a woman.
Yeah, me and my dad too.
John Ross? Do you think all women cause trouble? - Yeah.
- What about Grandma? She's different.
And your mom? She shot my dad.
But she's my mom.
I don't know what to think about her.
- It's gonna be okay, Mac.
- Yeah, I guess so.
Considering what he went through another couple of weeks in the hospital is not a bad deal.
I talked to the doctor.
He had to go cold turkey in prison.
Could've killed him.
Maybe he won't do drugs anymore.
I sure hope not.
- He was glad to see you.
- Heh.
Tommy and I always got along fine.
Hey, Mac, listen to me.
Give him time.
He still thinks you're the enemy.
It hurts, Tracey.
He didn't even wanna talk to me.
It was just as though I wasn't there.
Don't expect too much right now.
He's still in a lot of pain.
I didn't believe you for a long time.
I know.
But I love him, and it hurts like hell.
Lucy? Aren't you getting ready for the ball tonight? - It always takes you most of the day.
- I'm not going.
Not going? Why not? Oh, I just don't feel like it.
Heh.
Besides, I don't have a date.
But, Lucy, this is a tradition that we've had every year for the whole family.
And I expected you to be the one to give out the Jock Ewing Memorial Awards.
You could give them out, Grandma.
Lucy.
And I have to go to Atlanta and pack my things.
I just got my final divorce papers from Mitch.
[SIGHS.]
Oh, Lucy.
I'm so sorry.
I think it would have been easier on me if I was still seeing Casey Denault.
But he turned out to be a real con artist.
Well, it's a good thing you found out when you did.
I know.
But I'm beginning to think there's something wrong with me.
I just don't have any luck with men.
Well, you certainly don't want a con man in your life.
I'm not just talking about Casey.
Mitch was a good man but we just couldn't make it.
And there were others, you know.
You'll find the right one.
I don't even trust my own judgment anymore.
But I sure would love to have a baby or a family someday.
I'd like that too.
- Hi.
- Hi.
- Sit down.
- Okay.
You said something about lunch.
Is there a restaurant here? - I don't know.
- You don't know? What, you on a diet? No.
I brought you your favorite, but we have to eat it here while it's hot.
Hot food on a picnic? What, you want? Right here in the square, huh? I think it's pretty here.
What have we got? Look at that.
Good Lord.
- Chinese takeout.
- You told me it was your favorite.
Absolutely.
You're terrific.
Thanks.
Heh.
We could skip the Oil Barons' Ball tonight and have leftovers for dinner.
Not on your life.
I wanna go to that ball and dance with you.
That's what I wanna do.
[HUMMING.]
BOBBY: Hello.
- Oh, Bobby, you look very handsome.
- Thank you.
I'm late to pick up Tracey and McKay.
- Have time for a drink? - I'm afraid not.
I'll see you all there, okay? - You ready? J.
R: Yeah, I'll see you there.
BOBBY: All right.
- Well, Mama, you just look wonderful.
- Well, thank you, J.
R.
I have a very handsome family.
- Ha, ha.
Well, I'll see you at the ball.
CLAYTON: What are you talking about? I gotta pick up my date.
Your date? Well, what about your wife? Mama, that little girl upstairs is not my wife.
Never was, never will be.
[CALLY SOBBING NEARBY.]
Oh, Cally.
Cally, why aren't you dressed? Miss Ellie, I can't go.
Do you love my son? Yes.
From the first moment I saw him.
Then, Cally, I'm gonna teach you your first lesson.
The Ewing men are very tough and the Ewing women have to be even tougher.
I had to take a horse whip to the boy's father before he'd do right by me.
And you may have to do the same thing.
I don't know.
Come on.
I'll help you get dressed.
You're coming with us.
[PLAYING SLOW JAZZ SONG.]
[CROWD CHATTERING INDISTINCTLY.]
- I am very impressed.
- Come on, you don't have to be impressed.
You could beat any of them at the pool hall.
Can you believe that? My daughter crisscrossing the country, hustling pool.
[BOTH CHUCKLE.]
- Hello, Bobby.
- Hello, Sue Ellen.
Sue Ellen, I'd like you to meet Carter McKay and his daughter, Tracey Lawton.
- Hello.
- How do you do? - Tracey.
- Hi, Sue Ellen.
McKay? Weren't you two trying to kill each other? I'm surprised.
Uh, that's a long story, Sue Ellen.
But everything's fine now.
It's all over.
- Are you John Ross' mother? - Yes.
I'm very sorry about the boys.
I never meant for them to be involved.
I certainly hope not.
Well, lookie here.
My brother has finally arrived.
Well, J.
R.
And April.
Come on, let's dance.
Your ex is with a very attractive woman.
SUE ELLEN: Yes, and I used to think of her as a friend.
Well, it happens that way sometimes.
What do you mean by that? Nothing.
I was just thinking of a similar circumstance.
Can I buy you a drink? [MUSIC STOPS THEN CROWD APPLAUDS.]
Yes.
[BAND PLAYING SLOW JAZZ SONG.]
Could it be that underneath, there's a very nice man? Some people have said that, and some haven't.
Heh.
And a very complex one too.
No more than any other man.
I see Bobby's found a new Snow White.
Bobby's found himself a load of trouble, that's what he's done.
Speaking of trouble don't you think people are gonna get suspicious seeing us together? Why should they? We're old friends.
You're the most eligible lady in Dallas, and I'm the most eligible bachelor.
- What could be more natural? - Heh.
Who's that with your mother? Oh, my God.
Come on, April, I wanna introduce you to someone.
Heh.
You're my kind of man.
I don't know if I can wait until this ball is over.
- Oh, Marilee.
Heh.
- Heh, heh.
Shall we? Well, will wonders never cease? - I see you're still with the same woman.
- Oh, cool it, Marilee.
Bobby and I are about ready to go for that gas deal with you and Jordan Lee.
Forget it, it's too late.
Somebody's stole it right out from under us.
- You're kidding, who? - I don't know.
But wait till I find out.
Oh, boy.
I have to talk to Bobby.
Can't it wait? We're having such a nice time.
Yeah, I know we are, but truly, I really need to find him.
He's over there, dancing.
I think your friend wants to cut in.
- I'm gonna deck any friend.
CLIFF: Bobby, I gotta talk to you.
- Hello, Tammy.
- Hello, Bobby.
I forgot you know each other.
Well, listen, I just saw Marilee.
Tammy, this is Tracey Lawton.
Tracey Lawton, Tammy Miller.
- Hi.
- Good evening.
BOBBY: You're with Cliff? Yes.
A lady can only wait so long.
I understand.
Bobby, I gotta talk to you because Could we get out of this noise? Marilee said somebody swiped that deal from us.
- What? TAMMY: Will you excuse me? I have to go to the powder room.
- I'll go with you.
- Come here.
You mean all these ladies bought a dress just for tonight? Mm-hm.
I'm sure they did.
But there's not one of them in this whole room that looks as good as you do.
I wish J.
R.
Thought so.
He hasn't even seen I'm here.
Hmm.
He will, Cally, he will.
Why don't we get something cool to drink, hmm? Bobby told me there was no one else in his life.
There's nothing between Bobby Ewing and me.
You have a clear field.
Nothing as far as he's concerned, maybe, but you're carrying a big torch.
Does it show that much? Like a flashing red light on a deserted highway.
Well, I see we have two new members of the Bobby Ewing Fan Club.
Bobby's foul-mouthed friend from the restaurant.
Look, honey, that foul mouth is necessary to relieve the pressure when you're involved with a Ewing.
Otherwise, I might bleed all over my expensive dress.

[BAND PLAYING SLOW JAZZ SONG.]
- Hello, Clayton, Miss Ellie.
- Good to see you, Sue Ellen.
- Thank you.
ELLIE: You look beautiful, Sue Ellen.
Thank you, Miss Ellie, so do you.
I don't think I've met your guest.
Uh Cally, this is, uh, Sue Ellen Ewing, J.
R.
's ex-wife.
This is Cally, J.
R.
's new wife.
- His new what? - Well, I'm real surprised.
You don't look at all the way J.
R.
Said.
He said you were a hopeless drunk, that you cheated on him all the time that you neglected your child.
And I bet after he told you all that, you went to bed with him.
How'd you know that? Just a wild guess.
Excuse me.
J.
R: It's one of those things you just can't - J.
R.
Hey, Sue Ellen.
I thought you were building marinas or something.
What are you doing here at the Oil Barons' Ball? SUE ELLEN: Slumming.
I just met your child bride.
What junior high school were you cruising this time? Well, that's real funny.
I'm sure there are a bunch of people here you can bother besides us.
Uh - J.
R.
- J.
R.
, you got that little girl in your bed by telling her that I was a drunk, a cheat, and I neglected my child.
That's true, darling.
Ask anybody here.
[MUSIC STOPS AND CROWD GASPS.]
APRIL: Sue Ellen! - Let go.
You're not my friend.
APRIL: I am.
SUE ELLEN: You're not.
- You're probably sleeping with him.
APRIL: Sue Ellen.
CALLY: Oh, J.
R.
, are you all right? - Would you leave me alone? CHAIRMAN: Can I have your attention for a moment please? Can I do anything? SUE ELLEN: Short of killing J.
R.
, there's nothing anyone can do.
McKAY: I'm not ready to do that yet.
[BAND PLAYS SHORT FANFARE.]
I'd like to welcome you all to the annual Oil Barons' Ball.
Now, we've got some awards to present but first, since all you oil barons are together in a group the board of directors of Westar has asked me to announce the name of their new chairman who is replacing Jeremy Wendell.
Please join me in congratulating Carter McKay.
[CROWD APPLAUDING.]
J.
R: I knew it.
You used us.
We thought we were just getting rid of Jeremy Wendell.
All the time, you were plotting to frame him so you could get control and chairmanship of Westar.
- I tell you, that's pretty damn good.
- Shut up, J.
R.
- J.
R.
, you're paranoid.
J.
R: Yeah? I'll bet you anything he got his daughter down here so he could sniff us out.
Mind your manners or I'll finish what Sue Ellen started.
Well, maybe you can stand this garbage, but I can't.
It won't be long before we're wishing Jeremy Wendell was back at Westar.
NARRATOR: Next on Dallas: - I'll do just about anything to keep him.
- You have to tease him and tantalize him.
Don't let him touch you.
Don't let him into your bed.
That's sick, ain't it? - How long since you've been with a man? - J.
R.
You didn't use us to help you get rid of Jeremy Wendell? You look up the word "paranoid," and beside it you'll find a picture of J.
R.
Yeah.
Yeah, it feels nice, all right.
