Dallas s13e19 Episode Script

NARRATOR: Last on Dallas: I still love April.
I don't know why this woman has such a hold on me.
- I was protecting you.
- I don't need your help.
You said anything, anytime.
They're reading his will, his lawyer wants me there.
[ON VIDEO.]
The rest of my estate, which I figure's worth a few million I leave to Curley Morrison.
Pull another stunt, find out what fighting's about.
If anything should happen to Curley in 30 days then old Rabbit Hutch gets it all.
You want a piece of me, kid, come and get it.
And lastly, if something happens to Rabbit then my good brother gets it all.
It's like there was unfinished business.
And you're going back to your someone else.
If she'll have me.
[GASPS.]
He's dead.
I just can't believe that poor man is dead.
I know.
It's a terrible shock.
It sure is.
Curley was a good friend and I'm gonna miss him.
Oh, come on.
Curley wouldn't want you to mourn over him.
Besides, look on the bright side, you're rich now.
You think that makes me feel any better? I wonder what made him keel over that way.
He did have a bad heart.
Old ticker probably couldn't stand the shock of sudden wealth.
Maybe it was something you put in his milk when the lights were out.
Come on.
You know me better than that.
I never hurt no one in my whole life.
- Right, Clayton? - Right.
But then again you never stood to inherit a fortune from anyone's death before.
- Come on, now, that ain't funny.
CLAYTON: Heh, heh.
Clayton, for heaven's sakes.
Sorry to keep you folks so late but we got all the information we need for now so unless you can think of anything you forgot to tell us.
You know what killed him? It's too soon to tell without an autopsy, but we're sure he died of a heart attack.
See, see.
What did I tell you? Lousy ticker did him in.
Okay.
You can all go home.
But let me know if you plan to leave town.
- Why? - After the coroner gets the results of the autopsy, he might hold an inquest.
And we'll need you to testify.
It's just routine.
Hello, darling.
J.
R.
You gave me a fright.
Oh, I'm sorry.
I didn't mean to.
That's the last thing on my mind.
- No, J.
R.
, I'm not in the mood.
- What's bugging you, honey? What do you think? If you want things back the way they were, you're gonna have to change.
Change? You gotta be kidding.
No, I'm not, J.
R.
You're gonna have to come home on time, be sweet and nice.
Well, now I know you're kidding.
The day I start living by the rules you set down the Dallas Cowboys will be back in the Super Bowl.
Seems like the only time I see you anymore is when you have a need.
That is not true.
Besides, I'm you're husband, aren't I? Yes, but you can't expect me to act like a wife to you when you don't act like a husband.
Well, you listen to me, little lady, and you listen good.
I'm never gonna let a wife of mine dictate to me.
I'm not trying to dictate to you.
The hell you're not.
J.
R.
, where are you going? If Mama needs me, I'll be at the Single Tree.
MICHELLE: No, we couldn't possibly come home for a visit now.
We're right in the middle of putting together this really big project.
I know you do and we miss you too.
It's just a bad time for us to leave Dallas.
[DOOR OPENS.]
Look, Mom, I really gotta go.
We'll come home when we have time.
Bye.
I love you too.
- Who was that? - Mama.
She said to tell you hi.
She just wanted to check up on us.
Yeah.
She's all right, isn't she? Fit as a fiddle.
Busy with all of her church functions.
I really miss her.
When's McKay supposed to get here? Ten, 15 minutes.
Good, that will give us a little time to go over these plans.
Gentlemen, you can't deny how fairly Cliff Barnes handled Ewing Oil during his investigation into that tanker disaster.
I'm not sure that that's a selling point, Miss Rogers.
A lot of folks feel that he should've scuttled Ewing Oil when he had the chance just to get rid of J.
R.
Ewing.
There, you see? You've just made my point.
What do you mean? He didn't let his feelings interfere with what was right.
Don't you find that admirable? Well, I, for one, most certainly do.
Well, I'll be.
Speaking of the devil.
- J.
R.
- Hey, Hap.
How are things down in Austin? Fair.
We were just talking about you.
Really? Well, you got good taste, boy.
Hey, Billy, how are you doing? What brings you all to Dallas? This little lady right here.
You've met? - I've had the pleasure.
- Dubious though, it may be.
Well, I found you quite charming.
It's your taste in clients I question.
Got a great instinct for backing the right people, J.
R.
My bet is she'll put the next man in the governor's chair.
- Is that a fact? STEPHANIE: Yes, that's a fact.
Right now my most immediate objective is to convince these charming gentlemen to appoint Cliff Barnes head of the ORC.
BILLY: Better look out, J.
R because he's gonna be on you like a duck on a June bug.
[LAUGHS.]
Wouldn't you be better off picking a man who could do the job rather than somebody who's gonna use that position as a stepping stone? You're mistaken about that.
Cliff is committed to giving this position his fullest attention.
HAP: Why, I'm sure he is.
Why, thank you for the breakfast, Miss Rogers.
And we'll take everything that you've said into consideration.
I know you will.
And I know you'll do the right thing for Texas and the oil industry.
Yes, ma'am.
Gentlemen.
- J.
R.
, see you in Austin.
- Okay.
The only oil you have an acquaintance with is the stuff you put in your bath water.
I don't need to know about the oil business.
I know what's right for me and my client, and that's all that matters.
Yeah, sure.
There's no kitchen shown in these plans.
Aren't we gonna serve food? Well, if we want the people to stay, we better serve them something.
[DOORBELL RINGS.]
That will be McKay.
Keep your fingers crossed that he got us the land.
Mission accomplished.
- Hello, April.
APRIL: McKay.
Now we're even.
Almost.
I'll need a check from you for $ 16 million.
We'll arrange to have the funds transferred.
Right, sis? My accountant will take care of it in the morning.
You're right, I guess we are even.
Thank you.
There's just one other little thing.
You two are young and you're ambitious, and I like that.
But this is a big undertaking.
You're gonna need somebody with clout to help you.
Someone like yourself, you mean? Right.
I know you got the bucks to bankroll a project but I've got the connections downtown.
You could use me as a silent partner.
I'm afraid not, McKay.
Shelley and I dreamt up this scheme, we're gonna keep it in the family.
Right, we appreciate you getting us the land.
But we can do the rest ourselves.
As you wish.
I think you've bitten off more than you can chew.
You know where to reach me if you change your mind.
Now, about that kitchen, I really think that we ought to - Where are you going? APRIL: To pack.
I need to get away from this town for a while.
CLAYTON: I'm pretty sure he died of a heart attack.
[PHONE RINGING.]
What a bizarre evening.
It sounds like something from an old mystery movie.
It was very unnerving.
They sure did ask a lot of questions.
Mr.
Farlow, phone call for you.
Who could be calling at this hour? Weren't you frightened when the lights went out? No, I just assumed it was a power failure.
And then poor Curley just collapsed.
We thought he was kidding at first.
BOBBY: Anybody try and use CPR? Yes, Clayton tried to revive him before the paramedics got there but it was no use.
Well, that's too bad.
Pretty strange will though.
Atticus Ward must have been some kind of eccentric.
Well, from what Clayton told me, he wasn't eccentric he was just plain crazy.
No, no, Grandma, only poor people are called "crazy.
" Rich people are always called "eccentric.
" BOBBY: Clayton, would you like a brandy? - No, thanks.
Clayton, what's the matter? Who was that? Detective Marshall.
Really? What did he want? Well, he got the results of the autopsy.
Curley didn't die of a heart attack.
He was poisoned.
APRIL [ON RECORDING.]
: You've reached the Stevens Residence.
We can't come to the phone now but if you'll leave your name and number, we'll get back to you as soon as we can.
[BEEPS.]
April, this is Bobby.
I've left several messages, if you get them, would you please call me back? I really wanna talk to you.
[KNOCKING ON DOOR.]
You wanted to know when J.
R.
Got in.
He just arrived.
Thanks, Phyllis.
J.
R.
, can I come in? Sure, Bob.
What's up? Actually, that's what I was gonna ask you.
Where have you been keeping yourself? You haven't been home the last couple of nights.
I'm staying at the Single Tree.
And? You want some coffee? BOBBY: No.
No, thanks.
You wanna talk about it? It's my marriage.
I figured as much.
Oh, Cally's sweet and she's loving.
She tries real hard to please but, I don't know, it's just not enough.
Are you saying it's her fault? Oh, hell, no.
Not hers.
It's us.
Be truthful about it.
It's time.
There's just too many years between us, Bobby.
We don't have anything in common.
And I can't see that we're ever gonna have anything in common.
So, what are you gonna do about it? I don't know.
I don't wanna hurt her.
And I sure as hell don't wanna get hurt.
I just can't see that either one of us is gonna get out of this a winner.
Well, that's a sad fact.
You were smart not to get married again, you know? Well, I don't intend to stay single the rest of my life.
L [INTERCOM BUZZES.]
Yeah? SLY [O VER INTERCOM.]
: Stephanie Rogers on the line.
Do you wanna take it? Well, why not? The day is in the dumper anyhow.
Yes, Miss Rogers.
What can I do for you? Turn your television on to Channel 12.
I think that there is something that you might find quite interesting.
Bobby, open the television cabinet, will you? [ON TV.]
Now from Austin.
It's been announced that Cliff Barnes, head of the committee investigating that recent oil spill in the gulf has been named chief of the Oil Regulatory Commission.
The ORC has been formed to oversee the independent oil producers who previously were under the control of the Texas Railroad Commission.
Well, she really pulled it off.
That bottom feeder, Barnes, has the luck of the devil.
You're taking it better than I thought you would.
That's because I saw it coming.
And I know what to do about it.
And that is? To kill a snake, you cut its head off.
And that's Miss Stephanie Rogers.
I don't know why I'm here.
I never even met Curley Morrison until the night he was murdered.
Well, it seems to me that everyone who was there is under suspicion.
Poor Curley.
He was fine right up till the time the lights went out.
Yeah, he seemed to be.
Whatever happened, happened when the lights were out.
Since he was the only one drinking milk, he was an easy target.
Yeah, if the damn fool had just drunk booze like normal folk he'd still be alive.
- Heh, heh.
Robert.
Don't I recall as how you were a pharmacist when you were in the Navy? Yeah.
So what? It seems to me like you'd have more than a passing acquaintance with what's poison or what ain't.
What are you saying? That I poisoned Curley? - Why, you crazy old crook - Okay, this is not getting us anywhere.
Yeah, besides, you had just as much reason to kill him as I did.
Why would I wanna kill Curley? He was a good friend.
I believe the word is "greed.
" Now, you wait just a minute I wanna thank you all for coming down.
You can all go home now, except for you, Mr.
Hutch.
What do you mean? Why do I have to stay? There were three sets of fingerprints on the milk carton one set is the deceased's, one set is as yet unidentified the other set is yours, Mr.
Hutch.
But I can explain that.
Curley asked me to stop and pick up the milk on my way.
You didn't mention that when we took you're deposition.
I didn't think it was important.
We'll check it out.
In the meantime, you have the right to remain silent anything you say can and will be used against you in a court of law if you give up the right to remain silent.
You have the right to speak with an attorney and have an attorney present during questioning.
[KNOCKING ON DOOR.]
MICHELLE: What are you doing here? I'm looking for April.
She's not here.
Where is she? She doesn't answer the phone.
- Not in her office.
- She's left Dallas.
And right in the middle of the biggest, most important deal of my life.
Wait a minute.
What do you mean, she left Dallas? Just what I said.
If she wanted you to know where she was, she'd have told you herself.
- Michelle, I have to talk to her, please.
- Not a chance.
If you hadn't broken her heart, she'd be here.
Tell me where I can find her.
And run the risk of you hurting her again? No way.
I will find her with or without your help.
Well, I was wrong.
You really are more suited to the business world than the kitchen, even if you are a woman.
Praise from Caesar.
No, really, I mean it.
You actually got that no-talent Barnes into office.
I'm sorry.
I underestimated you.
And your long-range plans for him are perfect too.
Really? Well, I'm surprised you think so.
Oh, I'd rather see him governor of Texas than the head of the ORC.
The sooner he's off my back, the better.
So if there's anything I can do to help, let me know.
Oh, I'll do that.
I mean it.
Call me anytime.
You know, you're really something.
And I'm just itching to find out what.
Why don't we have dinner together? Now, why would I want to do that? Because if you wanna keep Barnes on this roll I think it's important for you to know what he's up against.
I'll think about it.
Please do.
Thanks.
Hey, Cally.
We missed you at breakfast.
Where's J.
R? Is he still sleeping? If he is, it's not in my bed.
And he hasn't been for the last two nights.
So now you know.
Hey, you're hollering at the wrong guy, I'm on your side.
I know.
I'm sorry, James.
It's just that I'm so mad at J.
R and the more I sit around here, the madder I get.
Say no more.
I've got the solution to your problem.
Come with me today.
I gotta check on a project down on the west end and after that, I'm yours.
You don't want me tagging after you.
I'll just get in your way.
But you're wrong, I do.
We'll make a day of it.
Lunch, a movie, whatever it is you wanna do.
Come on.
What do you say? I say, "Great.
Let's do it.
" And let's make it a real long day.
Ha, you got it.
[SPEAKING INDISTINCTLY.]
- I sure can't thank you enough, Clayton.
- No thanks necessary.
Oh, yes, there is.
Bail me out like that is a act of a real true friend.
- Well, we go back a long way, Rabbit.
- Well, we sure do.
Remember the time down in Tulsa you took on that drunk who wanted my scalp for a keepsake? CLAYTON: He almost took mine instead.
HUTCH: Yeah.
When they were questioning you did they happen to say what kind of poison killed Curley? No, no.
They seemed to think that I should be telling them that.
I'd sure like to take off for parts unknown, let this whole thing pass me by.
You're not thinking about jumping bail? Oh, I wouldn't do that to you.
No, scared or no, I'm sticking it out.
What are you afraid of? Proving I'm innocent, that's what.
That consarn Atticus.
He only left me his money to get me in trouble.
Who is your lawyer, Rabbit? Oh, they appointed me one from the Public Defenders' Office in there.
Some long-haired kid look like he should still be in knee pants.
Why don't we get a bite to eat and we'll sort this thing out, hm? I'd sure be obliged if you'd help me out on this, you know? I'm in real trouble now and I can't convince anyone I'm innocent except you and Ellie.
Don't worry.
Don't worry, Rabbit.
When we get to the restaurant, I'll call my attorney he'll recommend a good lawyer.
Oh, thank you.
Thank you.
Where the hell is she? I can't remember the last time I was on a Ferris wheel.
Thank you, James.
That was the most fun I've had since I came to Dallas.
- Same here.
Let's do it again real soon.
- I'd love to.
What's going on here? Where have you been, Cally? With James, and I had a real nice day.
Oh, well, wonderful.
I come home, try to make things right you're traipsing around, keeping him from his job.
Wait a minute.
I invited Cally, not the other way around.
You stay out of this, son.
One thing you gotta learn never interfere with a man when he's correcting his wife.
- Correcting? - Damn right, correcting.
Since when are you the authority on what's correct? I told you, butt out.
You get in here before you wake up the boys.
Come on.
You're turning into a sorry excuse for a wife.
You're up for Husband of the Year? Get those things out of my face.
You're turning James against me.
I think you're doing a good job of that yourself.
Living here at Southfork has showed him what kind of a man you are.
- You encourage him to go out on his own.
- He doesn't need my encouragement.
As a matter of fact, he showed me a terrific project he's working on today.
And you'll never guess who his partners are.
Why don't you save us both some time and tell me who they are? Your two little girlfriends, April and Michelle.
My girlfriend, Michelle? How naive can you be? The reason he's in business with her is because he doesn't know what to do when he's not in the sack with her.
Well, I'll bet you're an expert on that kind of business.
All right, I give up, I came home to make peace I shouldn't have bothered.
I hope you enjoy sleeping alone, honey.
You'll be doing a lot of that.
PHYLLIS: There's a call on line 3 you might wanna take.
Who is it? It's April Stevens.
Well, I guess the 10th message was a charm.
Thank you, Phyllis.
Hello.
[O VER PHONE.]
How are you? A little confused, but otherwise I'm all right.
How are you? Everything's fine here.
Well, except for one thing.
What's that? I miss you.
And what about that unfinished business? It's finished.
April, I wanna see you.
Well, I'm out of town right now.
Yeah, I know, Michelle told me.
Where are you? I'm with my mother.
I needed some time to work out my feelings.
Springdale, Ohio, is a long way to go just to think.
I have a lot of things I wanna tell you.
Well, it's just gonna have to wait because I need some time alone.
Well, I think we some time together.
Look, Bobby, I'll call you in a few days.
Are you sure that's what you really want? I'm not sure of anything anymore.
Bye.
That was Bobby.
So I gathered.
You'd like him, Mom.
You really would.
That didn't sound like a happy phone call.
We've got a few things to work out.
Why don't we go outside while these pies cool? April? I know it's just my opinion but I think you'd have been happier if you'd never moved from Springdale.
Come on, Mom.
You'd be raising kids by now, be married.
Lord knows, I'd love to have a couple of grandkids to spoil.
There's not much point in thinking about that now, is there? It's never too late to think about moving home.
I don't mean move in with me.
I mean coming home to a small-town life.
It's still safe here.
It's still decent.
And people still care about each other.
I know what a wonderful place this is.
Which is why I want you to come with me to the church social.
I'd rather not, Mama.
If you think you're just gonna stay home and hide, forget it.
After you see a few of your old friends and starting singing those good old spirituals you know how much better you'll feel.
All right, you win.
I'll give it a try.
Good.
[CHATTERING.]
Will anyone be joining you for lunch, Mr.
McKay? No, I'll be alone, Debbie.
Oh, excuse me, Debbie.
There's somebody I wanna speak to.
- Ellie, Clayton.
- Hello, Carter.
I heard that someone bailed Rabbit Hutch out of jail.
I was wondering if you might know who the Good Samaritan was.
Now, what makes me think that you already know the answer to that? Why did you bail him out, Clayton? I'm not sure that was the smart thing to do.
You're worried that little Rabbit's gonna put something in your milk, are you? Someone killed Curley Morrison, he's the most likely suspect.
I've known Rabbit for 40 years.
I like him, I trust him.
He didn't do it.
What about his fingerprints on the milk carton? Well, there are other fingerprints too.
Well, why are you so concerned? If Rabbit Hutch isn't the killer, then someone else is and I don't like mysteries.
Well, I'm sure the authorities will clear it up soon.
In the meantime, your friend, Rabbit would be well-advised to invest in a bulletproof vest.
Meaning what? According to the will, he's the next one on the list.
I wouldn't make the mistake of saying that in front of the police if I were you.
They're liable to draw the wrong conclusion from your attitude.
If anybody's made a mistake, Clayton, it's you.
The safest place in the world for Rabbit Hutch was in that jail cell.
Personally, I would have left him there until the will was settled.
Now if anything happens to him, you're involved.
WOMAN: Good morning.
- Hello.
Well, don't all of you ladies look lovely this morning? - Is Bobby in? - No, he's gone out of town for a few days.
- He say where he was going? - No, I'm sure he'll call.
Any message? Oh, just tell him I'll take care of things while he's away.
- James in? - He hasn't shown up yet.
Sure am glad I gave him that office.
Well, Sly, what's going on? Well, you've had several calls.
All right, call that one first.
Hold that one.
Call that one second.
And forget about those calls.
I'll be having a little lunch.
- Will you be back? - Depends on lunch.
Heh-heh.
Ladies, you're all in charge.
STEPHANIE: Part of my life has been dealing with successful men many of whom were more successful than you are.
You know, success is a comparative term.
I've known success for poor men luckily, I don't have to associate with them, of course.
Well, I was speaking purely in a business sense.
I don't suppose my being the head of Ewing Oil has anything to do with you being here? In point of fact, your brother is head of the company.
No, it wasn't.
- Curiosity? - Partly.
I wanted to find out if you could possibly be as good as you seem to think you are.
I've never lacked self-confidence.
[LAUGHS.]
"Arrogance," I think, is a more suitable word.
You're not exactly a shrinking violet yourself, honey.
You can't be in my world.
You like being the boss, don't you? Arranging things, running the show.
- Don't we all? - Huh.
Some of us are better equipped for it.
Men rather than women? That's right.
I wanted dinner, you made it lunch.
Is that a little test? You're here.
Maybe I was curious too.
About what? How long I can sit here without telling you what I think? And how long can you? About two drinks, this is my second.
Well, this should be very enlightening.
What do you got against the natural order of things? Daddy goes to work and Mommy stays home and plays house? Damn right.
Instead of running around you ought to be at home with your kids, making somebody a good wife.
Women like you just irritate the hell out of me.
Do you know what irritates the hell out of me? Men like you who are afraid of the competition who have kept us from being what we wanted all those years.
Women like me scare the hell out of you so you put on this good-old-boy, macho act.
What makes you think you have the God-given right to be so superior? You can bark and woof all you want but we got something that no matter how hard you try, you're never gonna get.
In your case, that's a small blessing.
From the looks of you, you could use a small blessing.
Ah.
And you're the man for the job? Guaranteed.
Well, we'll never know, will we? Might be worth finding out.
- How is your wife? - I don't think you'd care, honey.
Well, this has been fun.
We must do it again.
If we do, I'll call you with the name of the restaurant.
- Teresa.
- Mr.
Beaumont.
Hey, Cally.
You're not setting very many places.
Hardly anybody's home.
What about J.
R? You don't see me setting his place, do you? How did last night turn out? I'm fed up, James, I really am.
I'm tempted just to head on back to Haleyville.
That's crazy.
I don't wanna fight anymore.
I want the old J.
R.
Back, the one that was so sweet to me.
I don't know if that's gonna happen.
I used to bring out the best in him.
But I think that's all over now.
Being nice and loving was too much of a strain, I guess.
[CALLY CRYING.]
Cally, I don't like seeing how much you're hurting.
I really have been thinking a lot about Haleyville.
The problem is, I'm not a country girl anymore.
J.
R.
Has changed me.
And now I don't fit in anywhere.
Look, if you leave, you let him win.
I almost made that same mistake myself.
I think you should fight back.
Beat him at his own game.
I'm not that tough.
You're a lot tougher than you think.
You really think so? I know so.
Okay.
I'll try.
Well, I just never had to deal with a man like him before.
WOMAN: Mirror, mirror on the wall who's still the shrewdest of them all? Serena.
Surprise.
Where did you drop from, heaven? Hardly.
Oh, my goodness.
Hope you don't mind me coming to see you without calling.
Are you kidding? How long are you in town for? I've moved back, permanently.
With that oilman you were going around with? No, I cut him loose.
Frankly, he was dragging me down, and I couldn't wait to dump him.
Yeah, I know how you feel.
Well, I suppose you got schemes and plans for your future.
Not really, J.
R.
, I'm just playing everything by ear.
It's been too long since we've seen each other.
Much too long.
I got a wild urge to talk about old times.
How about some lunch? I'd love it.
You're just as beautiful as ever.
And you're still one charming devil.
This devil is never gonna throw away his pitchfork, honey.
[J.
R.
CHUCKLES.]
- Mrs.
Stevens? - That's right.
I'm Bobby Ewing.
Yes? Is April here? I'd like to talk to her.
She came a long way to get away from you, young man.
Yes, ma'am, and I've come a long way to speak to her.
I don't know that she wants to talk to you.
She was hurt when she got here.
I know.
It was never my intention to hurt her.
Mrs.
Stevens, I love your daughter.
Come on.
Let's talk someplace.
I think you might be doing both of you a favor to turn around and go back to Dallas.
I can't do that.
Not until I see April.
And if I say I don't think it's a good idea? Meaning no disrespect, Mrs.
Stevens, but I think that's April's decision.
It nearly broke my heart to see her the way she was.
She's always been a bright, high-spirited girl, that's all gone out of her.
That's because she loves me, and she's not sure of us.
And I want her to know how much I love her.
And that I can make her happy.
And I can't do that without your help.
I only want things to be better between us.
I hope so.
I expect it would be better if the two of you could talk it out.
But she's not here.
Where is she? Where did she go? Oh, she's still in town.
She's just gone down to the park right off High Street.
I expect you'd still find her there if you go down there.
Thank you.
[PEOPLE CHATTERING.]
Remember when you used to signal me like this? How can I forget? Reminds me of the Governor's Ball when I sicced you on old J.
J.
Gibberman.
He was the stingiest millionaire in Texas.
You ever forgive me for putting you two together? While you put him in your pocket? Of course.
You gave me 5 percent of his company as a tip.
What a team, huh? I stripped off their clothes.
I stripped their companies bare.
Boy, those were the good old days.
Don't you have to get home? We spent all afternoon yakking.
Well, I am at home.
I got a little suite upstairs.
Just temporary, you know? - Little marital trouble of your own? - Nothing I can't handle.
You haven't told me much about your new wife.
What's she like? Well, she's nothing special.
Let's not talk about her.
As a matter of fact, I'm kind of talked out.
J.
R.
, you've got a very familiar expression on your face.
[CHUCKLES.]
What do you say we go upstairs, take a long, slow drive down memory lane? Are you sure you remember the route? I wouldn't want you to take a wrong turn.
Well, once I get behind the wheel, I'm sure it'll all come back to me.
[INAUDIBLE DIALOGUE.]
BOBBY: Hi.
Bobby.
You must have expected me sooner or later.
Well, I wondered, but it's a long way.
That's what your mom said.
She's exactly the way I thought she'd be.
And she's worried about you.
I'm worried about me.
It's why I came home.
You look great.
You really are a small-town girl at heart, aren't you? Maybe.
Maybe this is where I really belong.
No.
You belong with me, April.
That's what I used to think.
Do you remember when you came all the way to Salzburg to try make things right between us? I've been thinking about that a lot lately.
You asked me to listen while you talked.
I remember.
Well, this time I want you to listen while I talk for a minute.
I said goodbye to Pam the other night for good.
I finally understood why she had that hold on me and now it's over.
And I wanna make things up to you on whatever terms you want.
I want it to be like the way it was before Kay Lloyd and before the Pam look-alike.
I don't wanna be put on hold anymore while you work out your problems.
It just hurts too much.
When I came to the park just now, I saw you with that man.
You two seemed so close.
You smiled at him and there was something between you that I wasn't a part of.
And I didn't like that.
It hurt.
It hurts so bad, you never want it to happen again.
Well, that's what I'm afraid of.
I'm afraid of committing and someone else will pop up someone you knew, someone you were close to and I'll be on the outside again looking in.
There's no one else.
I love you, April.
And I love you.
You think I'd be going through this hell if I didn't? But I need some time.
I need to figure out what's right.
You take all the time you want, as long as I can stay here and be with you.
It's only gonna confuse things.
No, no, it won't.
If I leave, I'm afraid we'll lose each other, and that would be the worst thing of all.
All right.
Stay for a while.
Does this town of yours have a hotel? A couple of them.
Indoor plumbing and everything.
It's over on Main Street.
Can I drive you home? No.
I wanna walk.
I like walking.
May I walk you home? All right.
If you want to.
I hope this doesn't spook old Rabbit.
Well, if you really think that Rabbit didn't kill Curley he could be in danger.
I suppose it's better to warn him there's a possibility.
[DOORBELL RINGS.]
Rabbit.
Rabbit, it's Clayton Farlow.
Rabbit? Maybe he's gone out.
Rabbit, it's Clayton.
[GASPS.]
[ELLIE WHIMPERS.]
[CHUCKLING.]
Oh, Serena.
This is what I've been missing, honey.
Every warrior deserves his rest and reward.
You're absolutely right.
You know, I've been knocking myself out trying to please the whole world and everybody in it.
And why should old J.
R.
Put up with incessant nagging and punching a time clock and things like that? You don't.
- That's never been your style.
- Heh, heh, heh.
That's right.
You remind me of what life is all about, honey.
And from now on, it's all gonna be just like this.
[LAUGHING.]
NARRATOR: Next on Dallas: I'll do anything to make it up, I don't wanna lose you.
Who's paying to have this project stopped, Rand? Who? - I'm gonna leave tomorrow.
- Bobby.
- The rest is up to you.
- Let go, I wanna tear his heart out.
We're gonna have to fight fire with fire.
MARSHALL: It seems Rabbit didn't kill himself.
Whoever hanged him made it look like suicide.
You don't wanna come off looking bad.
When Cally leaves me, and I assure you, she will leave me there won't be a person on this earth that won't feel sorry for old J.
R.
[CHUCKLES.]
