"You must've found a cure somewhere." "There is no cure." " I really don't have a choice then, do I?" " Not if you want to live." "I want to live." "Face it, J.R., you've lost." "It's over." "I only want what's best for Sue Ellen." "Even if it means staying away from her?" "I'm prepared to double Wendell's offer." "I wanna be absolutely certain that Pam's little boy gets the best deal possible." "Well, one of us better say something." "I don't know whether to laugh or cry." "It's okay." "Tell me I'm not dreaming." "It's me." "I'm really here." "Oh." "I don't understand." "After all this time?" "You will." "I've got so many questions." "Shh." "We have plenty of time." "Right now, I just wanna hold you." "Mark, so much has happened." "I know what you've been going through." "How?" "We'll talk about that later." " I don't know what to do or think anymore." " It's all right, that's why I'm here." "Mrs. Ewing?" "I hate to disturb you but Mr. Ewing's office is calling, and his secretary says it's urgent." "Tell J.R.'s secretary Pam will get back to him." "I tried." "She won't take no for an answer." "Well, she'll have to." "Pam won't be taking any more calls." " She'll be out for the rest of the day." " Okay." "Where are we going?" "Somewhere where we won't be interrupted." "I'm sorry, J.R., I just can't get through to Pam." "She's not taking any calls." "Well, that's what I wanted to hear." " But I thought..." "I don't wanna talk to that woman." "I just want to keep her busy." "It's time she learned what it takes to run this company." "And if she's gonna look after her little boy's share she's gonna have to keep up with me, and I don't think she can do that." "Now, by the time I'm finished with her, that woman will beg me to buy her out." "Isn't that a little risky?" "I mean, Pam doesn't have to sell to you." "Well, it's a risk I'm gonna have to take." "You see, I know how old Jeremy Wendell operates." "He's a cautious man." "He works very slowly." "And that's why I'm gonna have to keep the pressure on Pam." "If I can make her miserable enough, fast enough, I'll get the jump on Wendell." "So why don't you messenger these equipment contracts over to her office right away?" "Lt'll take her about a week to get through that." "But, uh, put a little note on there saying that, uh, I need them back at my office within 24 hours, with her signature on them." "And if I don't hear from her by then, I'll just have to assume that she agrees with my decision on these matters." "Okay, you got it." "Yeah, that ought to make her day, huh?" "I watched my father waste away from a debilitating disease." "It was horrible for him." "It was worse for me." "I was helpless to do anything but suffer along with him." "Believe me, I couldn't put you through that." "So you staged your own death?" "It was all very carefully planned." "Mark Graison bailed out of the plane and before he hit the water, he became Mitchell Swanson." "You know, it's not as hard as you might believe to assume a new identity." "With my resources, there was no problem at all." "There was a boat waiting for me, and I began my search for a cure." "Where did you go?" "Well, I'd heard of some encouraging research on rare blood diseases taking place in Switzerland." "I checked into a very private clinic there." "But after a few months, it became clear that they couldn't help me." "My condition had deteriorated rapidly." "Secretly, I had my attorney put out feelers into the medical community." "He let it be known that there was a substantial reward for any..." "Heh." "Any lead that might prove promising." "Was that a mistake." "It seemed like every quack, every faith healer every mystic in the world had an answer." "But I was desperate." "I tried more than a few." "I went to Africa, India, Malaysia." "After a while, I lost track." "You seem fine now." "You must have found a cure somewhere." "There is no cure." "You have to understand that I'm in remission." "Come on in, Pete." "Go ahead and take a seat." "Well, how you doing with Jack Ewing?" "I'm making some progress." "But you know how it is with private investigations." "Just takes time." "Yeah, well, that's one thing I'm short of right now." "You didn't give me much to go on." "If you could be more specific about what is it you're looking for..." "If I knew what I was looking for, I wouldn't need you, would I?" " I'll come up with something." " All right, that's better." "I want you to add another name to that list." "Jeremy Wendell." "I know, I know, I asked you to find something on him before." "J.R., I value your business." "I don't wanna see you throwing good money after bad." "I'm just hedging my bet." "The man is a saint." "Any man as powerful as Wendell couldn't have gotten there without leaving a few skeletons behind." " Lf he did, I sure couldn't find them." " Well, that was a year ago." "A man can make a lot of mistakes in a year." "Find me Wendell's." "You seem nervous." "Huh?" "No." "Is something wrong?" "No, I assume that's why you wanted to meet me." "No, I just thought we ought to touch base." "I don't want any surprises when I make my move on Ewing Oil." "Oh." " Can I buy you one?" " No." "Are you sure you won't join me?" "Uh..." "They always say never trust a man who doesn't like ice cream." "Huh?" "Really?" "Oh, oh." "Okay, I'll take two." "Uh..." "No." "Why do I get the feeling that you won't be able to deliver what we've talked about?" "Oh, no, I can deliver." " Both Pam and Jack?" " Yeah." " When?" " Well, I didn't know there was a deadline." "Cliff, I've tied up a tremendous amount of money in anticipation of this buyout." "I can't do that indefinitely." "Yeah, how much time we talking about?" "Two weeks." "No problem." "Your brother-in-law doesn't seem to have much of a past." "What do you really know about him?" "Well, I know I can deliver his 10 percent." "I mean, what more do I need to know?" "It's a mystery to me." "It makes me nervous." "I put some of my people on it." "Yeah, well, you know, he..." "He's family, so I know we can count on him." "The Ewings are family, and I'm counting on them to sell out J.R." "Now, listen, Cliff." "You stick close to Jack you might be able to find out something my people can't." "Okay." "And smile, Cliff." "Smile." "If everything goes right, in two weeks, J.R. Will be working for you." "Yeah." "So I finally ended up in Hong Kong." "Hong Kong?" "You were there when I came to...?" " Yes." " But why?" "Dr. Matsuda's clinic was my last hope." "You had to know that I came halfway around the world because I cared about you." "I wanted to be with you no matter what." "Treatments were just beginning to work." "We had no guarantees the improvement would be anything more than temporary." "You already grieved for me once." "I didn't wanna run the risk of having you go through that a second time." "You should have left that decision up to me." "I did what I thought was best." "Then Edward Chan wasn't leading me on." "No, he was trying to help you." "He had no idea I was using him to buy time." "For what?" "Once and for all, I was gonna force you to accept my death." "I paid a man in a clinic." "L..." "I can't remember his name." " Mr. Wong." " Yes." "I paid him to find another westerner to take my place." "You'll never know how much I agonized over that decision." "But I knew if you saw Swanson was another man you'd finally give up, you'd finally be free." " I felt horrible." " Well, I felt worse." "You were across the hall." "I could see you." "I wanted to reach out and touch you." "It was the most painful moment of my life." "I wished right then I was dead." " No." " I promised myself if I did get better if this remission was anything more than a short reprieve, I'd come back to you." "And when I learned about Bobby's death, I started laying the groundwork." "That man in the park the other day that I thought was following me?" "He was your guardian angel." "I hired him a couple weeks ago to look after you." "He's been reporting back to me ever since." "But why?" "I had to be absolutely sure my coming back into your life even if it was for a short period of time, would do you more good than harm." "Oh." "It has, Mark." "It already has." "You said you couldn't wait to see me, Sue Ellen." "I know." "You told me you were willing to commit to our alcohol rehabilitation program." "I am." "And I explained to you what that commitment means." "Now you're having second thoughts." "I never said that." "You don't have to say it, I can see it." " I'm scared." " Of course you are." "It's gonna be the hardest thing you've ever done in your entire life." " What if I fail?" " You've already failed." "That's why you're here." "I'm here because my husband put me here." "Then you should thank him for it." "He's forced you to make a decision." "Now, make it." "I really don't have a choice then, do I?" "Not if you want to live." "I want to live." "Then we can show you how to do that." "Hi." " Hey, darling, it's about time you got back." "Sorry I'm not home right now." "But if you leave your name and number, I'll call you back as soon as I can." "Thanks for calling, and don't forget to wait for the beep." "I miss you, Mandy." "Uh, that's really all I wanted to say." "It doesn't make it any easier hearing your voice on this machine." "I wish you'd come back soon." "I wanna make you happy, and I can." "We've just got to pick up where we left off." " Well, if you get this message tonight..." " We can't." "...I'm working late at the office, so wherever you are, just call me." "I need you, darling." "J. R?" "I waited till I saw you were off the phone." "He's here." " Oh." "Right on time." "Do you want me to stick around?" " No, no, thanks for waiting this late." "It's all right." "Mr. Wendell." "I thought twice about accepting your invitation." "Well, I thought a couple times about offering it." "Can I build you a drink?" "No, I don't drink." "Well, it's a pity." "You're gonna need one." "Let's cut through it, shall we?" "You're gonna tell me that I can't win." "I'm here to tell you that I already have." "So, what does that leave us to talk about?" " I was hoping to avoid a bloodbath." " We can." "Accept the same offer that the rest of your family is so interested in." "When push comes to shove, my family will side with me." "They'll side with Miss Ellie." "And this business of yours has never brought her anything but hardship." "If it's a fight you want, you're gonna get it." "But when the dust settles, I'll still have Ewing Oil." "What will you have?" "No less than what I have locked in already." "Thirty percent of Ewing Oil." "You must have realized that Pam's share was as good as mine." "Are you really counting on that cretin, Cliff Barnes?" "Well, let's just say that he's in a strong position to help." "I'm sure you can vouch for his motivation." "Well, I'm in better shape than I thought." "Because in the end, that loser will drive Pam straight back to me." "Face it, J.R. You've lost." "It's over." "Hope Jack likes Italian food." "Mm-mm." "This has gotta be the best sauce I ever made." "Jack's not coming to dinner tonight, Cliff." "I thought that you got the message." "What?" "What message?" "The one that I left with Jackie." "Oh, I didn't even go back to the office." "Well, I'm sorry, he had to cancel." "I thought that you knew." "Well, that's just great." "Relax, Jack can come to dinner another night." "No, that's not the idea." "It was gonna be Jack, and Pam, and the two of us." "We were gonna just sit and have a quiet, nice talk." " About what?" " Well, about..." "Well..." "Look, I assume Pam's still coming, huh?" "She didn't cancel out?" "No, she's coming." "In fact, she's bringing a date." "Yeah, a date." "Yeah, right, you gotta be kidding." "No, I'm not." "That's why I set four places at the table." "Well, you're full of surprises." "Who's she bringing?" "I don't know, I didn't ask." "Saved." "Hi." " Hi, come on in." "How are you?" " Good, thanks." "Good." "Jamie, this is a very dear friend of mine, Mark Graison." "Mark Graison?" "Shh, shh, shh." "Where's Cliff?" "He's in the kitchen." " Well, how does it taste?" " Great." "Hello, Cliff." "Pam wanted it to be a surprise." "Oh, boy." "Oh, boy." "She got her wish." "Hey, where you been?" "I'll tell you all about it over dinner." "Okay." "Great, yeah." "Boy, my sister's had her share of shocks." "Yeah, she has." "I hope my being here doesn't add to that." "I came back to help her, Cliff." "Well, okay." "I'm glad to hear you say that." "Yeah." "Because, you know, she's got a lot of responsibility." "Oh, boy." "You know, maybe we can both help her." "Uh-huh." "I think we can." "Heh." "Yes, it's a very big decision, Gary." "I just don't know if I'm up to it." "No, I'm fine." "I'm just a little tired, I guess." "That's why I don't wanna rush into anything." "I really don't know." "I've gone over it and over it." "If I do accept Wendell's offer, and you and Ray go along with me it would destroy J.R." "And if I don't sell, and J.R. Holds on to the company I'm afraid that Ewing Oil may eventually destroy him." "Well, I'll let you know." "I'm gonna have to make a decision soon." "Thanks for calling." "I love you too." "Bye." "Oh, Clayton, when will it ever stop?" "When will it ever stop?" "Well, I'd say we did pretty good today, huh?" "Well, no one will ever accuse us of not knowing how to shop." "What do you say we sit down for a minute, huh?" "Jenna?" "I'm sorry." "You're thinking about Bobby, aren't you?" "I never knew someone could miss someone so much." "I ache for him." "Look, you're not still thinking about leaving Southfork, are you?" "Yeah." "Well for what it's worth, I sure wish you'd stay." "It's worth a lot." "Good." "What is that?" "It's for you, Ray and you-know-who." "Ah." "So that's why you snuck off when I was in the dress shop." "Mm-hm." "Open it." "I don't think Ray will mind." "Okay." "Oh..." "Oh, look how cute." "Oh, look at the little feet." "I couldn't resist." "They are precious." " Thank you." " You're welcome." "You like kids?" "Why do you ask?" "I don't know, you seem to kind of have a way with her." "Charlie's sure taken a liking to you." "Yeah, I guess I like kids." "As long as they're somebody else's." "Well, you just say that now." "You wait till you find the right lady." "You'll have a house full of rug rats." "Why, is that what you want?" "Yeah, more than anything I can think of." "What do you know about Jeremy Wendell?" "I was wondering if he'd gone to you." "So then you know about the offer, huh?" "Yeah, I heard of it." "Pretty hard one to pass up." "And?" "And I'm gonna stand by Miss Ellie." "Whichever way she decides to go, that's the way I'm going." "How about you?" "I don't know." "J.R. And I had a pretty long talk." "He can be mighty persuasive." "I bet old J.R. Suggested that you get more involved in the oil business." "Maybe even said you could have an office down at Ewing Oil, huh?" "Let me tell you a little something about this guy you're dealing with." "There was a man named Edgar Randolph." "He was a good man, an honest man." "He had a nice home, a nice wife, a nice job with the Federal Government." "He had something J.R. Wanted." "Sealed bids to offshore oil leases." "He wouldn't play ball with J. R so J.R. Goes out and hires this creep to dig into his past." "Now, Randolph had made a bad mistake when he was a kid." "It doesn't matter what that was all about." "J.R. Got ahold of it and he used it to get what he wanted." "He ruined Randolph's life." "Sounds like a real nice kind of guy to do business with, huh?" "Don't trust J.R." "He doesn't trust you." "And watch out if you got something to hide because you're just liable to be reading about it in the morning paper." "Say that again, Sly." "All the contracts you sent Pam have been returned." "Signed?" "The, uh, messenger is standing right here." "He insists on handing them to you himself." "Well, who the hell does he think he is?" "Signed, sealed, delivered." " Well, I'll be damned." " You probably will." "Um..." "Well, sit down, Mark." "Uh..." "I can't wait to hear how you're gonna explain this." "Some other time." "I know what you're trying to do to Pam." "Well, now, I got a company to run here." "Uh..." "It's strictly business, you know." "From now on you'll do Pam's business through me." "Well, I'm glad to hear that." "I think I can deal with a man like you." "It's a temporary arrangement, J.R." "Just until Pam can decide what to do with Christopher's share of the company." "Hmm." "Yeah, well, I understand that." "Maybe we can sit down and discuss it one of these days." "Maybe we can." "I thought he was dead." "Yeah." "I hope I don't end up wishing he was." "This isn't gonna be easy for me to say." "I know you and Clayton have had more than a few words over Sue Ellen." "Obviously, you haven't listened." "I'm hoping you'll listen to me." "I only want what's best for Sue Ellen." "Even if it means staying away from her?" "I don't think that it does." "I do, and I'm asking you to respect my wishes." "Miss Ellie, it's not that simple." "Let me simplify it for you." "Sue Ellen has entered the rehabilitation program." "Did you know that?" "No." "No, I didn't." "She won't be needing your help anymore." "Well, she's not gonna be in that program forever." "She will as long as she thinks she has you to fall back on." "Miss Ellie, I'm not a crutch for Sue Ellen." "That's exactly what you are." "And the sooner you realize that, the better off Sue Ellen will be." "She started the program on her own." "She's gonna get better on her own." "On her own, Dusty." "Do I make myself clear?" "Well, I'd like to know how Sue Ellen feels about that." "She knows this is her last chance." "Don't take it away from her." "That's not my intention." "It's the result." "You say you care for her." "More than anyone." "Then do the right thing." "She's finally chosen to take care control of her life." "Let her." "I'm sorry, doctor." "I was just picturing what J.R. Must've looked like when you told him that he was expected to attend this session." "You're, uh, not surprised at his reaction." "Only that he didn't hang up on you." "He did." "Well, my husband doesn't put much faith in talking things out." "Nevertheless, he's still part of the problem." "I'm sure he didn't see it that way." "Yes, he made that very clear." "Sue Ellen, normally what we do is take time and educate your husband in the disease of alcoholism." "Especially as it pertains to you." "But it seems that we're not going to have that opportunity." "Well, I think we can count on that." "That's unfortunate." "Because it makes what you have to go through that much harder." "I've found that the alcoholic's spouse can be their greatest ally in recovery." "But the facts remain." "He didn't do your drinking for you, and he can't get sober for you." "That choice is only yours." "Dr. Lantry, I intend to lick this habit." "Not because of my husband, but in spite of him." "J.R." "Clayton." " Where's Mama?" " I'm taking her place." "Clayton, with all due respect, uh what I need to talk to Mama about is really none of your concern." "She's resting." "And what concerns her concerns me." "Resting?" "In the middle of the afternoon?" "She's exhausted." "So whatever you have to say to her, you're just gonna have to say to me." "Well, if there's something wrong with her we ought to call Harlen." "She doesn't need a doctor, she needs you lay to off." "And I'm here to see that you do." "I'm sorry." "I guess I've been pushing her too much." "She's still grieving over Bobby, J.R." "She's not alone there." "And she's worried sick about Sue Ellen." "And you're not helping matters there." "I put Sue Ellen in the best facilities available." "Your responsibilities don't stop there." "I'm not saying they do, but I'm also in the fight of my life right now." "I realize that." "What was Wendell's biggest pitch to Mama?" "That a Westar buyout would end all the family squabbling over Ewing Oil, right?" "It would prevent John Ross and Christopher from taking this fight into next generation." "Then, finally, it would end feud between the Barnes and the Ewings." "That's exactly what I said." "How do you argue against that logic?" "Because it's not just a Westar buyout now." "Barnes has thrown in with Wendell." "And for all I know, he could be the one that pushed Wendell into making the offer in the first place." "See, this is what I'm up against." "And I think it's important for Mama to know because no matter how much she hates Ewing Oil for what it did to her family she would hate even the thought of Barnes taking over Ewing Oil more." "I don't think it matters to her anymore." " She deserves to know." " I'll let her know." "When I think the time is right." "And don't even think about going around me." "She's my mama." "I'd never hurt her." "She is my wife." "She's more important than anything." "So don't push it." "Or I will personally see to it that Ewing Oil does end up with Barnes." "So Wendell manufactures all of his own drilling equipment, huh?" "Yeah, makes it, sets it, the whole deal." "Yeah, you know much about drilling rigs?" "Well, I picked up a little bit here, a little bit there, you know." "Yeah?" "Where would that have been?" "Look, Cliff, this tour is all very interesting, but, uh, what are we doing here?" "Oh, we're meeting Wendell." " Why?" " To iron out the deal." "What deal?" "Oh, come on." "Don't fool around with me." "You committed your 10 percent to Wendell." "He'll hold you to it." "Wait just a minute, Cliff." "I haven't committed to anything." "Hey." "Listen, if you're trying to jack up the price, it won't work." "Because this is the bigtime, you see?" "You gotta sell yourself." " You shouldn't have spoken for me." " We had a deal." "How can we have a deal?" "Don't do this to me." "Thanks for the tour but I'm late for another appointment." "Listen, if you think you're gonna back out now I'm not gonna be responsible for the consequences." "That sounds a little like a threat." "No, you just don't double-cross a man like Wendell." "He plays for keeps." "Well, give Wendell my apologies." "We'll have to get together another time." "You know, I used to come here a lot." "I think it's changed since I've been gone." " For the better?" " Yeah." "I think it has." "Or maybe I'm just seeing it through different eyes now." "It is beautiful here." "Of all the places in the world, how did you know to look for me in Hong Kong?" "Well, it's a long story." "I've got time." "You're here, and that's really all that matters." "I never gave up on you." "I want you to know that." "Not even after Hong Kong?" "At least, not a part of me." "But after I got back, things began changing." "Bobby and I started getting closer again." "At first, I thought it was just wishful thinking on my part." "He and Jenna were engaged." "But it wasn't just wishful thinking." "Bobby and I were still in love." "Deeply in love." "The night before he was killed, we decided to marry again." "He was on his way to tell Jenna when Katherine..." "Come on." "It wouldn't be fair to you if you didn't know." "Does anyone else know?" "No." "And I'd like to keep it that way." "I love you." "But not the way that I loved Bobby." "I've always lived with that." "You say that you don't know how much time you have." "It could be a year." "It could be 50." "I want to be with you no matter what happens." "But if anything I've said changes that..." "Pam, there are all kinds of love." "If it never went beyond how we feel now about each other I'd still consider myself a very lucky man." "Shh." "Just hold still." "Just hold still." "Shh." "Stop it." "What are you doing?" "I think I hear something." "That is impossible." "He's talking to me." "You know what he's saying?" " He?" " Well, I think it's a he." "Will you take a look and see if you're a boy or a girl?" "Okay, all right, what did he say?" "What did he say?" "He said he doesn't know what to look for." "It must be a boy." " Donna Krebbs, I love you." " Oh, I love you." "Ooh." "This feels right, doesn't it?" "Mm-hm." " You know what?" " What?" "We better, uh, really enjoy this." "Because when that baby comes, it's not gonna be just the two of us." "Yeah." "Well, I can't think of any better company." "To-do-do." "How was your day?" " Oh, pretty good." " Yeah?" "Old Jack was out there helping me mend some fence I had to get done." "The guy is quite a character." "What makes you say that?" "Well, I don't know." "He just comes into town out of nowhere." "It doesn't take him very long, he's got 10 percent of Ewing Oil." "I don't know." "I think the more time I spend with the guy, the less I think I know him." "I like Jack." "Well, that's just it." "I like Jack." "Well, you don't think he's in any kind of trouble, do you?" "No." "I don't think so." "What do you think?" "What do you think?" "Wanna mess around a little bit?" "Thought you'd never ask." "I wonder which one of them is behind this." "Good morning, Mark." " Good morning, Cliff." "I gotta hand it to you, you know." "I mean, you've already had quite an effect on my little sister." "I haven't seen her this chipper in weeks." "Where are you two going today?" "We haven't made plans yet." "Uh, listen, you know, uh, she's in there feeding Christopher his breakfast right now." "Uh, while we got a minute, maybe I can bend your ear with the proposition." "Wendell?" "Ah." "Exactly." " Do you want some coffee?" " No, thanks." "Look, I know that Bobby thought he was doing the right thing by having Pam look after her son's interest in Ewing Oil." "I also know that he never wanted it to be a burden." "And that's what has happened." "And it's killing her." "It's the main reason I'm here." "Right." "If you want Pam to sell to Wendell, why don't you just say it?" "No." "Look, I'm only thinking of Pam and you." "I mean, you two are great together." "I mean, you deserve all the time in the world together but as long as Pam has a piece of Ewing Oil she's gonna be spending all of her time bumping heads with J.R." "I've already put a stop to that." "You will never put a stop to that." "Not until Pam is out of J.R.'s hair." "Excuse me, Mr. Graison." "Your office just called." "Mr. Ewing left a message saying it was important he see you." "Thank you, Angela." "I rest my case." "For selfish reasons I agree with everything you've said." "But I also know what it means to have a family business." "If Graisco were being sold from under me I would be hanging on tooth and nail." "I am sympathetic to J.R.'s position but I will in no way influence Pam's decision." "I don't know how you can be sympathetic to J.R. After what he did to her." "Cliff, swamping Pam with paperwork doesn't make the man an ogre." " He's got a business to run." " I'm talking about Jamaica." "Pam didn't tell you about that?" "Tell me what?" "Oh." "It was terrible what she went through." "I did not think she was ever gonna recover." "I mean, the pain that that man put her through over you." "What exactly did J.R. Do?" " I guess I better tell you about Jamaica." " I guess you better." "Jack, didn't the landlord change your locks when you moved in here?" "I broke my key off in it last night." "Is there something going on that I should know about?" "Why would you think that?" "Because there doesn't seem to be anything wrong with this lock." "Okay, I, uh..." "I just didn't wanna worry you, but somebody broke in here last night." "Well, did you call the police?" "Oh, nothing was taken." "Jack, you still have to make a report." "Nothing was taken." "Look, has Cliff talked to you about Wendell's offer?" "No, not in so many words." "But I do know that he has thrown in with him." "I've got a feeling that things are gonna get pretty rough between J.R. And Wendell." "Look, whichever way I end up going I just wanna make sure that it doesn't mess up your marriage." "Jack, this burglary doesn't have anything to do with fight over Ewing Oil, does it?" " Because if it does..." " No." "No, no, no, of course not." "It's just that you're my little sister and I'm looking out for you, that's all." "You would tell me if it did, right?" "Yeah." "Yeah, you bet I would." "Yeah, that's perfect, Sly." "I don't know what I'd do without you." " I'll send it off right away." " All right." "Hey, Mark." "Glad you got my message." "Come on in here." "I don't wanna keep you any longer than I have to, uh..." "I don't guess it's a secret that I wanna buy Pam out." "I suppose she's told you about that, huh?" "Well, it's all down here in black and white." "Well, what it is in a nutshell is that I'm prepared to double Wendell's offer." "Now, that's gonna put me in hock up to my eyeballs, but it's only fair." "I wanna be absolutely certain that Pam's little boy gets the best deal possible." "Well, you sure pack a punch for a sick man." "Wait a minute, Mark, it's a damn good offer." "I've already made up my mind." "Well, at least take a look at it." "You blew it, J.R. You blew it a long time ago." "You're gonna regret the day you sent Pam looking for me, because she found me." "And I'm gonna make sure that you suffer as much as she suffered." "You take one last good look around you, J. R because this place is gonna be nothing but memories before I'm through."
