"We could help each other." "Go back to your bottle." "It's the help you need." "I haven't been drinking." "The day is young yet." ""Until Christopher reaches the age of consent his share of Ewing Oil is to be administered by his mother, Pamela Barnes Ewing. "" "Hi." "Could I buy you a drink?" "Any decision she would make would be disaster for my company." "That's speculation." "If you think I'm gonna wait around till she ruins my company you've got another thing coming." "Stop the car." "What?" "Please stop the car." "What's the matter?" "I just have to get out." "Just please stop." "Don't argue with me." "Just stop." "Wait a minute." "Sue Ellen, what's going on?" " It was a mistake." " What's a mistake?" "I took the easy way out." "I always do." "Now, wait a minute." "Calm down." "You're not making sense." "You wanted time to think." "The drive is doing you good." " I have to go back to the house." " Sue Ellen." "Do you realize I never even said one word to Miss Ellie after the funeral?" " And I never told J.R. How terrible I felt." " I don't even think J.R. Was interested." "Dusty, I'm still a member of this family, and I have an obligation to be with them." "Especially now." "I know how much Bobby meant to you." "You're upset." " Of course I'm upset." " When you're upset, you do things to hurt yourself, and I don't wanna see that happen." "You're right." "I want a drink right now." "I want one real bad." "But I have no intention of sneaking around to try to find a bottle." "Believe it or not, my family's more important." "Okay." "I'm sorry." "It's not that you didn't have good reason." "Come on." "I'll drop you off." "No." "Thanks, but I'd rather walk." "All right." "If things get rough back there, you know where to find me." "I'll be fine." "Hello." "Are you all right?" "Well, I miss him." "I really miss him." "J.R., again, my sympathies." "J.R., Harv seems to feel, and I agree with him that we should attend to Bobby's will as soon as possible." "Well, you don't waste any time, do you?" "There's never a good time to raise this issue." "Well, this is no time at all." "Well, I'm sorry, but..." "Isn't it enough my mama buried her youngest son?" "Do you have to add to her grief with all this talk?" "J.R., he's just trying to carry out his duty as a family lawyer." "Well, those duties include respecting a decent period of mourning for this family." "Nevertheless, for legal and practical reasons I am obligated to execute Bobby's will as quickly as possible." "Tomorrow will not be too soon." "Damn it, Harv, you haven't been listening to me." "J.R., that's enough." "The sooner we get this behind us, the better off we'll all be." "Tomorrow will be fine, Harv." "I'll make the necessary arrangements." "What kind of arrangements?" "Look, I don't wanna deal with this any more than you do, but we gotta do something." "Because coroner's released Katherine's body." "Cliff, can't this wait?" "Hey, I know it's a bad time but Pam and I have to come to some kind of a decision." "Just do whatever you think is best." "Maybe it'd be easier for both of you if I took care of arrangements." "Thank you, Jamie." "Sure." "You had quite a little talk with Harv Smithfield after the funeral, huh?" "What was he telling you when you walked back to the car?" "Pam?" "Nothing, really." "Did an awful lot of talking about nothing." "Just small talk about Bobby." "Harv was expressing his sympathies." "That's all?" "Well, what else do Harv and I have to talk about?" "I don't know." "I shouldn't have left after the funeral." "It was wrong." "You should've thought about that before you deserted the family." "It was a mistake." "A little late to apologize, isn't it?" "J.R., you're not the only one who's hurting." "Bobby was very special to me too." "He wasn't your brother." "I loved him." "Is that supposed to make me feel better?" "Don't you think I share your pain?" "Well, I won't let you." "We haven't shared anything in a long, long time, Sue Ellen." "Not my love, my bed or the responsibility for John Ross." "Ha." "What's left?" "We could help each other." "Go back to your bottle." "That's the only help you need." "I haven't been drinking." "The day's young yet." "Where are you going?" "I have to see Miss Ellie." "Don't even think about it." "J.R., please, I'm sorry." "You're a terrible embarrassment, Sue Ellen." "Nobody around here wants to see you." "You're sinking, honey, and you're dragging me down with you." "And I can't allow that to go on." "Not for my sake or my son's." "He's my son too." "He doesn't have a mother." "I don't have a wife." "You don't exist." "You're just a bad memory, doesn't know when to go away." "I hope you don't mind I canceled dinner with the family." "No." "No, you did the right thing." "We all need some time to ourselves." "This, uh, isn't easy, is it?" "What?" "You and I being together again." "No." "It isn't, it really isn't." "Look, I know I messed things up pretty bad around here in the last few months." "I said a lot of lousy things that I regret." "I guess I just let some mixed-up notion about who's the breadwinner around here get in the way of what's really important." "You can cut in any time you want to now." "I think you're doing pretty good all by yourself." "I could kick myself for just about letting you get away." "I could have kicked you a couple of times myself." "I guess what I'm really trying to say is that our marriage is all I really care about." "The past is the past." "I can't promise I'll change." "I'm just gonna try my damnedest to make our marriage work, Donna." "Me too." "I really want it to work." "Miss?" "I'd like another drink, please." "We've already had last call." "Well, I must have missed it." "No, you ordered." "That's it, right there." "Then I'll have one for the road." "Look, I'm sorry." "I shouldn't even let you get behind the wheel." " I think you've had enough." " I'm fine." "And I'm closed for the night." "I expect to be served." "You okay?" "What do you have to do to get a drink around here?" "Well, you know, everybody's got a job to do." "She's just doing hers." "She thinks I'm drunk." "I think she's right." "Oh, I'd just hate to see a nice lady like you hurt herself." "Well, maybe I could give you a lift home." "I can drive myself." "No, I..." "I think maybe I, uh, better drive you home, hmm?" "Hmm?" "Now, why don't you give me your keys?" "Ahh, here, let me do it." "It's okay." "Uh, what kind of a car do you got?" "Gray." "Gray." "Great." "I'll get it." "I'll get it." "Thank you." "Hey." "Where are you going?" "That's my car." "Need a hand?" "That's Banjo." "Oh, so that's her name, huh?" "She's Bobby's horse." "I didn't know." " I'm Jack." " I know who you are." "Why don't you try loosening that a couple of notches?" "Then give it a yank." "You probably know your way around the ranch pretty well, huh?" "Mind if I ride along?" "You know, you really shouldn't be riding Banjo." "She doesn't belong to you." "Of all the horses here I had to pick you." "She didn't come home last night and we were hoping that maybe she came back to your motel." "Have you checked your messages?" "Did Sue Ellen even try to call you?" "No, we asked J.R. This morning." "He hasn't seen her." "We considered that but I think it's too soon to call the police." "It's a big city, Steven." "I wouldn't know where to start looking." "Fine." "I'll leave a message if she turns up here." "Hmm." "Maybe I'll try to call Pam or Jamie." "Maybe they've heard from her." "We should call the hospitals." "Let's not get ahead of ourselves." "No reason to worry yet." "Every time she drinks, her chances get worse." "We don't know that she's been drinking." "Don't we?" "Nice day, isn't it?" "You look like you could use this more than me." "Help yourself." "I don't have all day." "Now, come on." "This will help your head." "Uh, could you please tell me where I am?" "You don't know?" "No, I don't." "The bottom of the bottle, sweetie." "Just like me." "She's taking Bobby's death pretty hard." "I guess she just needs some time." "We all do." "Time." "Charlie's already lost so much of it without a father." "I blame myself for that." "You've done a great job raising her." "I guess I'm old-fashioned when it comes to kids." "I've always believed it takes two people to raise a child." "She's bright, she's beautiful and she's happy." "What more could you ask for?" "I'm grateful I have her." "No matter what's gone wrong in my life..." "I've had my share of bad times." " I've always had Charlie to remind me of what's gone right." "It's made all the difference in the world." "I'm glad to hear you say that." "Because I'm about to find out for myself." " You mean...?" " Yeah." "Ha, ha." " Donna, that's wonderful." " It is." "It was just hard finding out I was pregnant after Ray and I separated." "I just didn't want it to be the only reason that we got back together." "Well, you're both back together." "We are gonna try." "And you love each other very much?" "Oh, Lord, yes." "Well, you're gonna make it work." "I'm so happy for you." "Thank you." "J. R?" "I've been worried about you." "I tried to call but the phone was being picked up by the answering service." "Well, I let the girls go home again today." "I couldn't concentrate on work." "Is there anything I can do?" "No, darling, there's nothing anybody can do." "I've just been sitting here thinking that maybe if I wish hard enough, Bobby will walk through that door and tell me it was all a joke." "Just a bad, bad joke." "I don't know what to say." "Well, they're..." "They're reading his will today." "I just don't know if I'm gonna get through it." "All of my life, I've wanted control of Ewing Oil." "I never doubted for a day it wouldn't be mine." "It just didn't happen the way I imagined." "Bobby's share of the company will go to Christopher." "And I have to manage it for the boy." "And so I win control of Ewing Oil by default." "And that's no victory." "No victory at all." "It doesn't mean a damn without Bobby." "You called us here to talk about J. R?" "Jordan, where have you been?" "J.R. Is probably doing handstands right now." "He just lost his brother." "Hey, with Bobby gone, there's no one to stop him." " Stop him from what?" " From coming after us." "I think I missed something." "Look, we're his competition, right?" "You know how J.R. Hates competition." "We're his strengths, last of the independents." "Now, together, we've always been able to keep the major companies at bay." "None of us would stand a chance alone." "You try telling that to J.R." "What do you have in mind?" "I want an understanding." "Look, you know how J.R. Operates." "It's just a matter of time before he starts playing one of us against another." "He'll come to you, Jordan, with a deal, or to Marilee." "I mean, that's the way it's worked in the past for him." "Come on, now, Cliff, admit it." "You're just afraid you're gonna be the odd man out." "No, I'm just afraid that he's gonna drive us under if we're not careful." "Unless we agree to band together." "Then what?" "Together we're unbeatable." "We can handle anything he throws at us." "Yeah, well, I think you're wrong about J.R." "He's got you spooked." "Always has." "On the remote chance that you're right..." "I'm right." "I am right." "Well, what have we got to gain by siding with you?" "When it comes to J.R., you're always on the losing end." "J.R. Ewing having complete control of Ewing Oil can only mean trouble." "And one of these days, you're gonna see that I'm right." "Let's just hope it's not too late to stop him." "Harv, let's get this over with." "It's difficult enough for the family as it is." "Not everyone's here yet." "Oh, well, I didn't tell you that we had a slight problem out at the house." "Sue Ellen won't be joining us." "And as you know, Gary had to go back to California." "That's not who I had in mind." "I hope it's not a problem, I asked Jamie to come." " It's fine, Pam." "No, it's not fine." "What's going on here?" "What's happening?" "J.R., you didn't want this to take any longer than necessary." "I suggest we begin." "We wouldn't be here if it wasn't for her deranged sister." " J. R..." " Well, Mama, I'm sorry." "I find this totally unacceptable." " Let's go." " Pam, don't leave." "Bobby wanted you here." "We should start, Harv." "Sit down, Pam." "I'll skip all the formalities." "You're aware of my authority as Bobby's attorney to execute his last will and testament." "It's a lengthy document." "It was Bobby's wish that I read to you instead a cover letter that he wrote some time ago." "Now, I should add that the language is informal and in Bobby's own words." ""To Jenna Wade I leave sole ownership in the boutique known by her name." "Do with it as you wish." "I think I wanted it for you more than you ever did." "Also, I leave the lump sum of $500,000 of which I request one-fifth be put in trust for your daughter." "To Ray, my brother I leave the thing he loves best:" "The land." "I place all my real-estate holdings, commercial and agricultural in his steady hands." "It gives me particular joy that Cedar Ridge the 7000-acre range adjacent to Southfork is among these properties." "I bought that land on your recommendation." "You said it was an investment in the future." "You couldn't have been more right." "Now I invest the future of all these holdings in you and I rest easy knowing I couldn't be more right in doing it." "Ellie, my beautiful Mama." "I can't begin to count the gifts you filled my life with." "One was more precious than the next." "There is one I wish to return should you survive me:" "A gold pocket watch which was your father's and his father's before." "I treasured it always." "It made me feel connected to a past I only knew through your stories." "What proud stories they were." "Don't forget them, Mama." "Don't let them die." "It's time this old watch was passed on to the next generation." "I know you'll choose someone special." "And I know they'll treasure the stories behind it as much as I did." "Gary, my brother you've made your own fortune in California." "I'm proud of you, of what you've accomplished there." "When we were kids, you and I found a mare running wild." "Daddy promised she'd be mine if I could break her." "He never knew you did it for me." "You almost broke your back in the process." "I want you to have Banjo." "She's a lot like that mare you broke:" "Spirited, full of life just like you." "J.R., we've had our good times, we've had our fights." "Through it all, I never stopped loving you." "And I'd like to believe you never lost sight of your love for me." "What can I leave you that you don't already have?" "My hunting rifle, my over-and-under shotgun are all that come to mind." "And with them, the memories of the hunting trips we took together." "I think we were the closest then before things changed, and circumstances, more times than not put us on opposite sides of Ewing Oil." "You taught me how to use these guns when we were boys." "I never thanked you for that." "There were lots of things you taught me throughout my life I never thanked you for." "I do now." "You were a good teacher, J.R., the best." "I leave you with that compliment and these gifts." "And I hope the thought of both will give you pleasure." "Pamela Barnes Ewing." "Financially, you already have more than you could ever need." "Whatever possessions I have seem inadequate to express my feelings for you." "But I can leave one thing." "A wish that you be happy, and the certain belief that you will be." "Remember the good times." "I know there are many, many more to come." "To Christopher, my son I leave the remainder of my wealth which includes my 30-percent interest in Ewing Oil. "" "Ahem." "Thank you, Harv." "Thank you." "There's one more thing." "It was Bobby's wish that:" ""Until Christopher reaches the age of consent his share of Ewing Oil is to be administered by his mother, Pamela Barnes Ewing. "" "Yeah, man, it's like I said." "I was in Vietnam, man." "I know, I was in Vietnam." " Where was you at in Vietnam?" " I was in moo goo gai pan, man." "Ha." "You don't even know what moo goo gai pan is." " Man, I used to work for the CIA." " CIA?" "Don't give me that..." "Hey, hey, hey." "Ow." "Excuse me, can we help you with...?" " Don't pay this fool no attention..." " Shut up." " This girl ain't your type, homey." " I'm a doctor." "I can help you with that, you know what I mean?" " I'm talking to you." " Don't put your hands on the lady." " She got too much class for that stuff." " You ain't got no class." "Look at this, man." "She looks like a Dallas Cowboy." " See, I would..." " Don't throw your hand at me like that." "Listen, don't talk to the lady, man." "I told you." "Say, say, honey." " Right away, honey." " Say, baby, listen." "Don't leave home without it, all right?" "Yeah." "Hey, baby." " Oh, check it out." " Hey, hey, hey." "Check it out." " You're lost, lady?" "You better find your way home, sweetie." "Fast." "What are you staring at, honey?" "My slip showing?" "Oh, check it out." "Oh, she is too sweet for words." "I think it's Nancy Reagan." "I think it's Nancy goddamn Reagan." "I think we got rid of the duchess." " Hey, the usual?" " Not today." "A bottle of your good stuff." "No, no, no." "Make it a fifth." "Must be your lucky day." "You may be right about that." "Hi." "Could I buy you a drink?" "Don't you tell me there's nothing I can do." "There's very little I cannot do." "I drew up this will." "Well, I'm gonna take it to court." "Think I'd let Bobby put anything in his will that wouldn't hold up in court?" "There are no legal grounds to contest here." "Having that Barnes woman as an equal partner in Ewing Oil is grounds enough for me." " But it is not a matter for the court." " Don't you understand?" "She doesn't know a damn thing about the oil business." "Any decision she would make would be a disaster for my company." "That's speculation." "If you think I'm gonna wait around till she ruins my company you got another thing coming." "J.R., this doesn't say that Pamela has to literally run Christopher's share of the business." "She could put somebody in the company, monitor what's going on advise her on these matters." "I'm not gonna do business that way." "I'm sorry." "You have no choice." "There's always a choice, Harv." "As your attorney, I have to advise you against being foolish." " Hmm." " J. R what are you gonna do?" "Whatever it takes." "Are you kidding, huh?" "No, you're not kidding." "How did J.R. Take the news?" "Ha-ha-ha." " A lot worse than you." " I'll bet he did." "You don't understand." "Ah, what's to understand?" "Bobby left Pam 30 percent of Ewing Oil." "He left it to Christopher." "Yeah, but she's the administrator." "It's same thing." "Don't you care how Pam feels?" "Sure I care, but she's a big girl." "She can take of herself." "I don't know, Cliff." "You didn't see J.R." " He's not gonna make this easy for her." " You're right, you know." "I mean, Pam is no match for J.R." "I might just have to step in and help her protect her interests." "Did she go straight home?" "Why?" "Well, because we ought to go there and see her." "Pam is heartbroken over Bobby." "Well, I know it." "I don't want her to do anything foolish." "Well, the reading of the will only upset her more." "But that's all the more reason I should be there with her." "No, Cliff, we're not going." "If you rushed over there right now, Pam would never forgive you." "She wants to be left alone." "Oh." "Yeah, you're right." "Yeah." "I mean, what's the rush?" "Are you okay?" "Yeah, yeah." "I'm all right." "You're a very lucky lady." "Lucky?" "You almost got yourself killed." "Now, listen, Harv, I'm not gonna take this lying down." "One way or another, we gotta find a way of keeping that woman out of Ewing Oil." "Yeah." "Now, would you just listen to me?" "I put in a call to a friend of mine, Bud Dreyfuss, on the East Coast and he said there was a court ruling that might be applicable to our situation." "That's right, the Goreman decision." "Well, we won't know if it will work or not work unless we try it." "Well, then you find a precedent that does apply." "That's what you lawyers are for." "Damn." "J.R., we wanna talk to you about Sue Ellen." "I have to apologize for her behavior, Mama." "I know how worried she's got you." "We're all worried." "Well, she'll be all right." "The good Lord has ways of looking after drunks like her." "That's enough of that, J.R." "Well, I'm sorry, I truly am, but I just can't deal with it anymore." "Well, somebody has to." "Your boy seems willing enough." "Maybe he can do better job than I have." "Oh, please, J.R." "She'll be back, Mama." "She always comes back." " Where are you going?" " Out." "It's different this time, Clayton." "She's in trouble." "I just feel it." "But this guy guaranteed results or double your money back." "I figured, what have I got to lose, you know?" "So I sent away for his book." "Studied it." "I went to the track, and do you know what happened?" "Honey, are you listening to me?" "Hey." "Hey." "Boy, you can sure put it away." "Well, I'd hate for the evening to become a complete waste." "Coming." " Oh, J.R." " Did I get you out of bed?" "No, I was just reading." "You go and change into something real nice because we're going out on the town." "I don't understand." "You were feeling so low." "Well, what a better reason to go out." "Mandy, I just lost my brother." "My wife is off on another one of her benders and, well, I may have to do business with a Barnes looking over my shoulder." "I just wanna put a stop to all this, even if only for a couple of hours." "And I couldn't think of anybody I'd rather do that with than you." "We don't have to go out, you know." "We could make it all stop right here." "I know we could." "But then I wouldn't have anything to look forward to, would I?" "I'm feeling better already." "I'll just be a minute." "Where do you wanna go, J. R?" "Well, I hear Oliver's is a lively place." "Oliver's is a dance club, J.R. You never dance." "Well, you know me, honey, always full of surprises." "Sue Ellen is not in her room." "I know." "I already checked." "J.R. Didn't make it home either." "Thanks, Jenna." "Can I get you anything else?" "No, I'm fine." "Thank you." "I guess we have no choice." "Would you like me to make the call for you?" "Would you mind?" "Of course not." "We're doing the right thing." "I know." "Uh, yes, I'd like to make a missing-persons report." "Thank you." "Yes, I'll hold." "Yes, the name is Sue Ellen Ewing." "You had yourself quite a party, didn't you?" "What time is it?" "Checkout time." "I got a room to clean." "The manager said this room was empty." "Your boyfriend left a long time ago." "Boyfriend?" "Whatever you wanna call him." "Come back later." "Guests here don't check out when they please." "When the maid comes, you go." "What are you looking at?" "I'll give you 10 minutes to clear out of here." "Wait." "Um..." "I'd like to have a drink sent up." "What kind of place you think this is?" "Uh, bloody mary." "We don't have room service." "Ten minutes, that's all you got." "Oh, my God." "Not my ring." "J.R.'s right." "They're all right." "You are disgusting." "I hate you." "I hate you." "Hi." "I was on my way to work and I thought I'd just stop by, see how you were doing." "I'm doing better." " Good." "Jamie told me about Bobby's will." "I thought you might wanna talk about that." "Well, what happened to you?" "I expected you to come by yesterday." "No, come on, now." "Give me a little more credit than that, please." "I'm sorry." "You know, Christopher's share of Ewing Oil is gonna be a big responsibility." "I know it is." "I just didn't want you to feel that you had to shoulder that all by yourself." "Who did you have in mind, Cliff?" "Well, I love you, you know, and I'd be glad to help in any way." "I love you too." "But this isn't the way to help me." "Well, good morning." "Good morning." "I was wondering when you'd get up." "Well, we had ourselves quite a night." "I had a wonderful time." "Wish I could say the same for you." "Well, didn't I look like I was having fun?" "Yes." "Well, then?" "Well, that's just it." "You looked like you were, but you weren't." "I never danced so much in my whole life." "You can't dance forever, J.R." "You don't have to put on an act for me." "Oh, Mandy." "You're not only beautiful, you're real smart." "I'm just worried about you." "Well, I feel bad, real bad about Bobby, but you know all that." "And I just can't wait around for things to get better." "They will." "Well, I'm finished feeling sorry for myself." "It's time I got back to business and you are the first on my list." "I love you, Mandy, and you deserve the best." "You need a new apartment, new clothes." "You're gonna start living the good life according to J.R. Ewing." "I know I sound like a broken record, but..." "Sue Ellen." "Yes." "Well, I have a very strong feeling that this Sue Ellen problem is going to take care of itself." "Don't be so greedy." "We got a new customer." "Well, I knew you'd come around, sweetie." "You two know each other?" "We all know each other." "Help yourself." "Drink it."
