Dallas s13e06 Episode Script

NARRATOR: Last on Dallas: - You didn't tell the police about Tommy? - I'm gonna find a better way of nailing him.
- You're gonna like this deal - No! Get this guy.
He's got a bomb.
- You need help.
Don't you see that? - Let me go! [GUNSHOT.]
No! Don't tell me something happened to my tanker.
It's at Shaughnessy's refinery? What's going on? I got some celebrating to do, honey.
Ha-ha-ha.
Oh, by the way, darling you're a little bit too old to go running around without your clothes on.
Did you sleep with Marilee Stone? Wouldn't share a swimming hole, much less a bed.
Mac.
Stay out of his way, Bobby.
I don't wanna come to your funeral.
Oh, Alex.
I'm planning on being your exclusive representative.
Should we get married, Bobby Ewing? Are you proposing to me? - Do I know you? - I'm James Beaumont.
Vanessa Beaumont's son.
Vanessa is your mother? Yeah.
I wouldn't lie about a thing like that.
Well, I didn't know she had children.
- Do you have any brothers or sisters or? - Just me.
I probably discouraged her from having any more.
I wonder what she saw in you.
- What the hell kind of a question is that? - A fair one.
I saw her right after you and your new wife left Vienna.
She was pretty shook up.
Eventually, she told me why.
Well, we were trying to rekindle some old memories, that's all.
Yeah, she told me about your little affair while she was married to my father.
She tell you I wanted to marry her? Yeah.
But she chose not to, didn't she? And now I know why.
She had a child.
Yeah, or maybe she thought you were fine for a fling, just not worth marrying.
You better keep a civil tongue in your head.
I came a long way to see what the shouting was all about.
Frankly, I'm disappointed.
Your mama was so special to me, I'm not gonna bounce your butt out.
But you better watch what you say to me.
Now that's better.
That's more what my mother was talking about this rough, tough, raw Texan.
What a contrast to all the polished gentlemen she knew.
This Texan is a hell of a lot more man than any of those hand-kissing foreigners.
In France, you were the foreigner.
Or didn't that occur to you? What occurs to me is that if you were a son of mine mouthing off the way you do, you wouldn't be able to sit.
Now, is there something about the truth that bothers you? Truth is in the eye of the beholder, boy.
And you weren't old enough to behold anything then.
Yeah.
True enough.
Well, as much as I've enjoyed talking to you l'm sure you have other things to do.
You staying here in Dallas? For a while.
I'm at the Singletree Hotel.
We can have lunch or dinner if you want to.
Yeah.
- Howdy.
- Howdy.
Can I do something for you? Yes, you can give us a little gas.
- Well, sure thing.
- All right.
Can you tell us where the boarding house of Pride is? - You folks fixing on spending the night? - We might.
Then you better head back to Harrington.
There hasn't been a boarding house in Pride in a lot of years now.
ELLIE: It's gone? The bank foreclosed on it.
Just like they did most everything else around here.
Well, the building is still there? Yeah, but it's all boarded up though.
Fellow by the name of Sparks kind of looks after it for the bank.
Is there anything left of the town? Well, a couple of stores Not much left of Pride anymore at all.
Oh.
Well, it's a shame to see a town die.
Oh, now, it ain't dead yet.
There's still a couple of folks around who still think there's some crude left in the ground.
Who knows? Maybe they'll hit it big here again and we'll all be rich.
[LAUGHS.]
[LAUGHS.]
Oh, just a little local humor.
Let me see now.
Let's see, that will be $22.
43.
Look, let's just make it $23 and I'll throw in a soda pop.
- There's your $3.
- All right.
And here's a couple of Is there a sign on the boarding house yet? No.
But I reckon you can't miss it.
It's right there at the end of town.
CLAYTON: There's towns like this scattered all over the West.
Old oil that sprung up overnight and then died just as quick.
ELLIE: It is sad though.
I can just see those young wildcatters strutting around here.
They must have felt as if they owned the world.
Sorry, Ellie.
This looks like another dead end to me.
ELLIE: Well, it doesn't look like much, but it must be what Mallory meant.
The man is not a joker.
He's a sadist.
You think anyone is really there? Well, the fellow at the gas station said there was a caretaker.
Sparks.
That his name? That's right.
Well? Try again.
What the consarned hell do you think you're doing? I'm sorry.
Are you Mr.
Sparks? Who wants to know? I'm Clayton Farlow and this here is my wife, Ellie.
So? Well, we'd like to come in and look around, if that's all right.
Well, it ain't all right.
I got strict orders that nobody is to come in here.
Oh, just for a little while, please? Nobody means nobody.
Now, get out of here.
[DOOR SLAMS.]
- That crepitatious, miserable old - Clayton, Clayton, what are you doing? I'm gonna kick that door in and teach Sparks some manners.
Clayton, he's just doing his job.
Well he could've done it a lot nicer.
[SIGHS.]
- Was that town Harrington the county seat? - I don't know.
Why don't we go back there and get a room for the night? There's something I wanna do in the morning.
What? You'll see.
BOBBY: There you are, Christopher.
I'm real proud of you today.
You got a lot more confidence.
- I feel better in the saddle.
- Yeah.
I tell you what I was thinking.
Maybe I should call the Bennetts and get us gaited horses we could work out on.
- That would be real nice.
- Yeah.
You know, you don't have to take off work, though, just to go riding with me.
Well, I know, I just figured with John Ross in England that things might be kind of boring around here for you.
I'm doing okay.
Well, you must miss him, huh? Sometimes.
He can be a real jerk.
He thinks he's something else just because he's older than me.
You think he's something you should've seen your uncle J.
R.
When we were growing up.
Did he pick on you and tease you and stuff? Well, he tried.
Stuff? Why, what kind of stuff are you talking about? Well, you know, like girls and things.
Why would John Ross be teasing you about girls? Because he thinks he's Mr.
Smooth.
Is this all leading up to something, Christopher? Well, sort of.
Well, I guess I have to ask you for a favor, Dad.
Well, go ahead.
I always help you out.
You see, Saturday night, there's a whole group of us from school going skating and I sort of asked this girl if she could go with me.
And I was wondering if you could drive us and pick us up.
Well, of course I can.
We're talking about a date, right? I mean, not exactly.
She's just a girl in my class.
Oh.
Well, are the other boys in your class bringing girls? Some of them.
I mean, it's no big deal.
You can hang around and watch if you want.
Yeah, yeah, I might.
Does this girl of yours have a name? Lvy Williger.
She's kind of nice.
Yeah.
I'll bet she is.
CALLY: Vanessa's son? J.
R: Mm-hm.
And a cocky little kid he is too.
Well, how little is he? Well, I don't mean small.
I guess he's 21, 22.
Got a lot of brass to him.
What's he doing in Dallas? Oh, Vanessa told him about us.
He wanted to look me over.
He wanted to look you over? What for? Is this getting painful for you, darling? Talking about Vanessa and all.
No.
I believe what you said about you and her.
And when I met her well, when you introduced us that way, I saw she was real nice.
But I still don't know why he came all this way.
Oh, he's just curious about me, I suppose.
Anyway, he's in town for a while.
I thought we ought to get together for dinner, get acquainted.
Well, I think we ought to show him a real nice time.
What's he like? Does he look like her? Oh, looks like Vanessa around the eyes.
I suppose he takes after his father.
Well, at any rate, he's a got a quality all his own.
Yeah.
You know, this is a really nice place.
Is the food here good? I don't know.
I have never eaten here before.
Your bosses don't you take you to a lunch once in a while? Phyllis and Sly, maybe.
I think that Cliff is too cheap to take Jackie.
And not you? Something must be wrong with them.
No, not really.
They're real nice.
Oh, you've got good taste.
Tell me the truth.
They hired you all straight out of a Miss Texas beauty contest, right? Oh, no.
Nothing like that.
Do you enjoy working with them? Oh, yeah, it's a good job.
And things are getting really busy again.
Oh, is it considered a large company? For an independent, it's one of the biggest.
And J.
R.
Runs the company, right? No, actually, Bobby is the president right now.
Oh? Is there a change coming? Well, I don't think that J.
R.
Likes having to answer to his brother.
[CHUCKLES.]
So they don't get along too well, then, huh? Oh, no, nothing like that.
It's just that J.
R.
Likes doing things his own way.
They lost Ewing Oil once because of that.
You know, I don't think I should be telling you all of this.
WOMAN: Would you care for another bottle? I don't know.
I'm not used to drinking this much.
Well, just one more.
And then dinner.
Yes, sir.
And then we'll see what happens.
And just what do you think is gonna happen? Well, we're gonna keep talking about you and Ewing Oil.
And I might even tell you the story of my life.
It's bound to take us to breakfast.
Oh.
And you think I'm gonna spend the night with you.
Only if you wanna make it a date to remember.
I guarantee you wake up with a smile on your face.
Well, I do like to wake up happy.
Why don't you cancel that other bottle? I'll bring it to the hotel.
And you could tell me all about you and the oil business and the Ewing brothers.
Sounds good to me.
Hey, where is everybody anyhow? Oh, Phyllis is running an errand for Bobby and Kendall called in, she overslept.
Mr.
Snyder is here.
I thought it would be all right if he waited for you in your office.
- Hold my calls.
Hey, Doug.
How you doing, boy? Ha-ha-ha.
- Good morning, J.
R.
- Is it? Well, if you're still in the market for some crude.
- Did you get some? - Got some good logo media from Venezuela.
- One million barrels.
- Ha-ha-ha.
You are the best, I'll tell you.
You have old J.
R.
's undying gratitude.
Not to mention my fee.
No trouble getting it delivered either.
I even found an available tanker.
I don't need it.
Got my own.
- You bought one of Halliday's rust buckets? - I sure did.
By the time it brings that million barrels back, it'll have paid for itself.
Well, I'm sure glad everything worked out for you, J.
R.
- Shall I keep looking for more crude? - All you can get.
I tell you, I'm on a roll.
I'm gonna send that tanker back down to Lake Maracaibo today.
I appreciate it, buddy.
Thanks.
Thanks a lot.
Ha-ha-ha.
Yeah.
Yeah, I'm on a roll.
Shall I? By all means.
You again.
Now, you get away from here or I'm gonna call the law on you.
ELLIE: Law indeed.
Here.
You read this and let us in right now.
Because I just bought the town of Pride.
Lock, stock and boarding house.
[TIRES SCREECHING.]
Why are you following me? What do you want? Your little oil company doesn't have an office.
Thought you'd prefer to meet here rather than at your apartment.
What I prefer is never to see you again.
I have a proposition for you.
A business proposition.
You think I'd do business with you? You're a cold, cruel, arrogant man.
And you're a busy little opportunist that goes from man to man the way a bee goes from flower to flower.
- Don't start on me about Tommy.
- Tommy is dead.
He no longer exists.
Do you think I care who you sleep with anymore? Then what do you want? The land that April Oil owns in Ellis County.
Word is that it's for sale.
Not to you.
I wouldn't sell you yesterday's newspaper.
I know what you paid for it.
I'm willing to pay 25 percent more.
That's a clear profit of several million dollars.
SPARKS: Now, I'm telling you, I've never heard of no Jock Ewing or this Mallory guy.
- How long have you been here? - A couple of years.
You're the first people that ever turned up.
What about the key? Are there any safes or locks here that you know of? No.
No safes, no locks, no idea what that thing's suppose to open.
Well, you've been a big help, Mr.
Sparks.
Why don't you go home and let us just wonder around? But this is my home.
I live here.
I got no place else to go.
Look, you take this money.
And I'm sure that you can rent a room somewhere.
And when we get through, you can move back in.
Well, all right, I'll do it.
But when I get back here, I better not find this place all messed up.
You don't suppose Mallory hired him to do this to us? No, he'd have to be the greatest actor that ever lived.
So? Now what? Now we take our time and look in every room and try every lock until we find the right one.
I didn't come this far and buy this whole town to turn back now.
[KNOCK ON DOOR.]
Hi, Alex.
I thought I heard you up here.
- Brought you some more reading material.
- Thank you.
You're doing fairy tales? No, of course not.
This is a big castle in Salzburg where J.
R.
I spent our honeymoon.
Well, part of it anyway.
I didn't realize you'd been to Europe.
Did you enjoy it? It was wonderful.
So exciting.
How about your honeymoon? Was that equally exciting? It was better than that.
It was near perfect.
Only near? Well, J.
R.
Had a lot of work to do over there, so he was busy sometimes.
And then there was this Something went wrong? No.
Not really.
What were you gonna say? I don't think I should talk about it.
Don't you trust me enough to tell me? No, it's not that.
It's just real personal.
If it affected you, I'd like to know what it was.
There was this woman.
She was so beautiful.
And she and J.
R.
Had known each other a long time.
He cheated on you on your honeymoon? Oh, no.
I know he didn't do that.
And if he had, how would you have felt? Well, I told him then that I would never share him with any other woman.
And is that the truth? I love him so much.
I don't know if I could ever leave him no matter what he did.
If you couldn't leave him you also couldn't let him just get away with deceiving you.
What's that mean? It means what's sauce for the gander should also be sauce for the goose.
[KNOCK ON DOOR.]
Bobby? BOBBY: Did you invite someone else? - Hi.
- Hi.
Oh.
[APRIL MO ANS.]
You're crazy about me, right? Am I on a hidden camera here? Would it make a difference? I might keep my clothes on.
Just answer the question.
You're all right for a girl.
Well, that's a real confidence builder.
[LAUGHS.]
To us.
To us.
You mean we're alone? Where's your little sister tonight? Probably out with Cliff somewhere.
[GLASSES CLINK.]
She's been seeing an awful lot of him lately, hasn't she? Some.
Why? Was just thinking, she was there when you offered me the Ellis County land.
Maybe she's the one that told Cliff.
It wouldn't me surprise me a bit.
It would be a good way for her to get Cliff to owe her one.
Yeah.
I guess we'll just have to be a little more careful around her.
Anyway, if it was her that told him, she saved me the trouble.
Speaking of the Ellis County land and the Super Collider guess what I did today.
Went shopping.
[CHUCKLES.]
Cute.
No.
I sold it.
Congratulations.
Did you get a good deal? Twenty-five percent profit.
Who bought it? It was a great deal.
I mean, I got a lot of money.
I'm sure J.
R.
's gonna be pleased.
Now, who bought it? Carter McKay.
I wasn't gonna do it.
It's just that he made me this huge offer and I couldn't help myself.
Do you hate me? [LAUGHS.]
No, I don't hate you.
Let Carter tie up his money for years.
Gives him less to fight us with.
[SIGHS.]
I'd been so nervous about telling you.
Are you sure it's all right? I'm positive.
To show you there are no hard feelings l'm gonna take you on a spiffy double date Saturday.
- A spiffy double date? With who? - You'll find out soon enough.
- You know how to roller skate, don't you? - What? Good.
Did you really come all this way just to look up J.
R? Yeah, I told you he did.
Well, there's more to it than that.
I'm curious about the oil industry.
What better place to learn than Dallas.
Well, you can learn a whole lot from J.
R.
If you wouldn't mind, I'd like to spend time around your office.
Maybe sit in on a few meetings.
Yeah, that's all right with me.
If you're gonna learn, learn from the master.
J.
R.
McKAY: Hello, J.
R.
If you're ordering dinner, I might suggest the humble pie.
You've had quite a bit of that lately, but you may want another helping.
You know, this place used to have a lot of class.
Now they let anybody in.
Even turncoats like him.
Well, this turncoat made a hell of a deal today with your old friend April Stevens.
J.
R: Did you? McKAY: I bought all of her land in Ellis County.
In a few years, it'll be worth 10 times what I paid for it.
JAMES: Pardon me.
Isn't Ellis County where they were planning to do the Super Collider? You're damn right.
And I bought all the land for miles around.
Even after hearing the news.
What are you talking about? You mean you don't know? I saw it on television today.
The Bush administration decided the project was too costly.
They've canceled plans for the Super Collider.
You're crazy.
I would've heard if that were so.
Debbie, bring a phone to my table.
Yes, sir.
Excuse me.
Is that true? No way.
I just thought it might be fun to pop his balloon.
[BOTH LAUGH.]
[LAUGHS.]
James, I think I'm gonna enjoy having you around.
You don't suppose that that place would've had a hidden room somewhere, do you? Ellie, let's face it.
We tried every lock, opened every door.
I even ripped up floor covering looking for a safe.
- That key doesn't fit anything.
- It must.
Mallory wouldn't have had us come all this way for nothing.
You talk about him as though you knew him.
Well, Jock knew him.
And don't forget that he thought Jock was the one looking, not us.
- So? - So I know there's something there.
I don't know what it is, but something that Jock would've known that key fit.
Well, it's very sound logic, but what good does it do us? Tomorrow we're gonna go back to Pride.
And we're going through that boarding house again but this time, I'm looking through Jock's eyes.
[CALLY AND J.
R.
LAUGH.]
I just loved the look on McKay's face.
I thought he was gonna have a fit when he found out what James said was a joke.
If he didn't have high blood pressure before tonight, he's got it now.
Can I fix you a brandy, honey? No, thank you.
Yeah, Vanessa has got herself quite a boy.
And he's quick on his feet.
I like that.
I wish I could show him the ranch with you tomorrow, but I have to meet Alex.
- Who? - You know.
The fellow that's been helping me with my painting.
- Oh, you're seeing him again tomorrow? - Yes.
He's teaching me so much.
He knows everything.
- Mm.
How old is he? - I don't know exactly.
Maybe 35 or so.
Why? Well, you're seeing a lot of him.
Maybe I ought to start to worry.
J.
R.
, you stop teasing me.
You don't have to worry about anyone.
Well, maybe yes, maybe no.
Is he good-looking? I don't know.
I never even thought about it.
Well, think about it now, honey.
I suppose you might call him sort of good-looking in an artistic kind of way.
Did you meet his wife? Or is he the sort that wouldn't have one? I haven't met her.
I don't even know if he's married.
Fact of the matter is I don't know very much about him at all.
Did we fire all the ranch hands? No.
Don't they get paid to do this? Yeah, among other things.
So why are you making me do it? Same reason my daddy made me do it.
And what was that? Well, he told me that we had just about everything anybody could want.
But we wouldn't appreciate any of it unless we worked for it.
Did you and Grandpa spend a lot of time together? Some.
He was pretty busy with Ewing Oil by then.
Did he ever go along with you when you were out with a girl? I can't remember him being ther Why, don't you want me to be with you tonight? It's okay.
But would you try not to watch me all the time? [LAUGHS.]
Can I watch you some of the time? Come on, Dad, you know what I mean.
I have my date to worry about.
You're on your own.
How's that? It's not too bad.
Come on.
So, what time are we supposed to pick lvy up tonight? Seven o'clock.
Okay.
You know where she lives? Sure, I've been there.
When were you there? She had a party while you were in Europe.
Okay, well, you can show me the way.
[CAR HORN HONKS.]
Bobby, how are you doing, bud? Somebody I want you to meet.
This is James Beaumont.
- Vanessa's boy.
- Hi.
J.
R: This is my brother Bobby and his son Christopher.
- Vanessa's son, huh? - Yeah, it kind of surprised me too.
He dropped into town yesterday just to look me up.
- Well, welcome to Texas.
JAMES: Thanks.
Bob, I wish you had been with me last night.
I tell you, we were having dinner and McKay dropped by the table gloating about how he bought this land from April.
I guarantee he doesn't know I'm gonna get half that money.
But anyhow, you should've seen the expression on his face when James here told him that the Super Collider had been cancelled.
I tell you.
McKay is not famous for his sense of humor.
The last time he had a good laugh was when the Titanic went down.
Are you gonna be in Dallas long? It's hard to say.
But there's a lot to see here.
If it's all right with you, I'd like to spend some time around Ewing Oil.
- You're interested in the oil business, huh? JAMES: Very.
You hang around all you want.
Gonna give him a tour, show him how rich folk live.
- Might be easier if you take the helicopter.
- I don't mind driving.
- After all, how big can it be? - It's humongous.
J.
R: Well, we better get going.
BOBBY: Enjoy yourself.
Oh, Bobby, you should've seen the look on McKay's face.
- I couldn't have done it better myself.
- That's quite a compliment to you, James.
[ENGINE STARTS.]
- I'll see you, bud.
BOBBY: Okay.
Sounds good.
APRIL: This is quite a double date.
I knew you'd love it.
Except I feel 100 years old.
[LAUGHS.]
- Hi, Mr.
Ewing.
- Hi, lvy.
- Having a good time? - Oh, yes.
Don't fall down, okay? Don't you think she's a little too old for him? How could she be too old? They're in the same class.
Look at her.
She's so much taller.
APRIL: Little girls are mostly taller than little boys at this age.
Besides, I think she's adorable.
I think young people rush things too much these days.
I mean, they're already on their first date.
It's not a real date.
I mean, half the school's here.
It's just a social activity.
Well, I don't know.
You should be happy this is all you're worried about.
Know how many kids his age are already into dope or alcohol? Look, I'm not saying he's not great kid.
I just don't know what the hurry is.
You act as if you weren't interested in little girls at his age.
I was interested.
But I didn't date till a whole lot later.
I bet when you did, you didn't have Daddy tagging along to keep an eye on you.
All right, now you're starting to sound just like Christopher.
Look, if you're really worried about it maybe it's time that you had a little talk with him.
I mean, unless you already have.
Of course not.
Maybe it's time.
[LAUGHS.]
[YAWNS.]
Ellie we can search this place till the end of our lives and we are not going to find out what this key fits.
I know, Clayton.
It's just so frustrating.
Well, I'm tired.
What time is it? My watch has stopped.
Ah.
Well, naturally, none of these clocks are working.
[EXHALES.]
Ellie.
So? Swing the pendulum.
Hmm.
[TICKING.]
[HOOTING.]
Hey.
Look.
Well, what is it? - A map of some kind? - Yup.
Well, how are we supposed to know where that is? I don't recognize anything.
- Did Jock ever do any hunting? - Yes.
Well, I know this spot well.
I've hunted there myself.
About 50 miles from Kalispell, Montana.
It'll take a little while to drive there.
ELLIE: We're not going to drive.
We're going to the nearest airport and charter a plane and fly there tonight.
Why? What's the hurry? Listen to this: "Get ready for the shock of your life, Jocko.
This is the end of the rainbow.
" What a night.
Roller skating stopped at the ice cream parlor, nice ride home.
What more could a girl ask for? Did you see what he did? What? He kissed her good night.
He kissed her on the cheek.
Actually, she was the one that kissed him.
I thought it was perfect.
So romantic.
He's too young to even spell romantic, much less be it.
You know what Christopher needs? I'm almost afraid to ask.
What? He needs someone to teach him all the little tricks that little girls have.
Someone young enough to know what it's like.
Someone Someone like me.
[CHUCKLES.]
If you really cared about Christopher, you'd hurry up and marry me while there's still time to save him from a fate worse than death.
Oh, is that what you call it? A fate worst than death, huh? Personally, I don't call it anything.
I was just trying to make a point.
Which is? It's time to stop talking about Christopher and his date and start talking about Bobby and his.
I didn't know there was anything left to say.
Then let's stop talking.
Did she really kiss him? Just like this.
ALEX: That is magnificent.
And such devotion, working on a Sunday.
Only for a little while.
I just wanted to finish it.
It's so different for me.
I don't know if I really like it.
ALEX: It's lovely.
Trust me.
I wonder if I should call up Mrs.
Evander today.
I'm sure she'd be interested.
You keep selling my paintings, we won't have enough for a show.
That is a position most artists would welcome.
Well, I'm off.
Alex? Can you stay a little longer? I suppose.
Why? I was talking to J.
R.
About you about how nice you are.
And he asked me if he should be jealous.
And what did you tell him? I told him he didn't have to be.
Is that a compliment to him or to me? I don't know.
Except I never thought of you like that.
How interesting.
Just how do you think of me? I don't know.
Mostly because I don't know that much about you.
We always talk about me and never about you.
Well, I find you far more interesting.
But if you insist, I'll grant you three questions.
That's not enough.
Well, you don't wanna find out too much all at one sitting.
No.
Three is enough.
Okay.
Where are you from? I was born in England.
But by now, I'm from a little of everywhere.
Are you married? Do you have any children? Not guilty on both counts.
At least no children that I know of.
And those are your three questions.
One more? It's very important.
All right.
You must see the work of a whole lot of artists.
But you can't spend this much time with all of them.
Why me? - The truth? - Please.
Because you are this wonderful dichotomy of talented artist and naive, simple girl-woman.
And I wanna be the one to bring out your full potential.
I wanna teach you all I can so that one day you can really stand on your own two feet and face the world.
Not as Cally Ewing, J.
R.
's wife but as Cally Harper, artist and woman in the best sense of the word.
And what happens if I ever become that person? Then we'll both be much better off for having met each other.
And now you're out of questions and I'm out of time.
I'll be back later to look in on you.
- Are you sure this is it? - This is where the map shows.
There's nothing here.
So I noticed.
Well, looks like a couple of farmhouses down there.
Why don't we head on down? Clayton? What is it? If I saw what I think I saw, this is what we're looking for.
CLAYTON: "Ewing"? ELLIE: "Mallory"? Well, I'm real glad you're having a good time, son.
But your daddy does miss you.
Yeah.
You got any idea when you're gonna be coming home? All right, but no longer than that.
I don't want you missing any school here.
Yeah, I know you got a tutor, but All right, son.
Love you too.
- Is he coming home soon? - Yeah, couple of weeks.
- He seems to be real happy.
- I'm sure he is.
- How did your painting go? - Great.
I finished.
Sorry I left early this morning.
I just couldn't wait to get it done.
Well, that's all right for this once.
But the weekend's for us, darling.
Then why don't we take a drive someplace? Maybe out to the lake? You got it.
Do you think that's Clayton and Miss Ellie's car? No, I don't think this is Clayton's car.
- Well, I wonder who it is.
- I don't know.
We meet in unlikely places, don't we, J.
R? Vanessa.
I've come to collect my son.
NARRATOR: Next on Dallas: Bobby, a Westar tanker has just had some sort of accident.
It's leaking oil all over the Gulf.
Oh, that's a damn shame.
I want you to find out what happened.
I want you to find out now! I'd spend a lot more time at the office if it were a more pleasant place to be.
It's not a health spa.
What do you want, a pina colada and a palm tree? ELLIE: This can't be it.
- Doesn't mean we're at the end of the line.
- You don't belong here.
- Maybe I won't say anything.
Or maybe I'll tell him the truth tonight.
