"Get me out of here!" "No!" "And appoint you as its chief executive officer." "The chief executive." "In other words?" "You'll be J.R.'s boss." "I'll turn her over." "You can tell me if it's who you're looking for." "What are we gonna do?" "What are you going to do?" "I don't know." "You're going to face this problem once and for all." "I want a drink." "Farlow!" " Yeah?" "J.R., Harv Smithfield." "Send him in." "You better have some good news." "Depends on what you consider good news." "I checked out Pamela Barnes' participation in Wentworth Industry's operations as you asked me to." "Now, she wasn't always involved on a day-to-day basis but when she did get involved, the people she did business with liked her." "Even admired her." " You're kidding." " No." "Bankers, investors." "Even some of her competitors claim that what she lacks in experience she more than makes up for in common sense and tenacity." "On the whole, the business community gives her high marks." "Are you telling me she could run Ewing Oil?" "I'm telling you we're not gonna find any judge that will think that she'd ruin Ewing Oil." "Her business record has competence written all over it." "Well, I'm gonna stop her." "Then, you're just gonna have to find another way." "I will." "How do you always grow such beautiful flowers?" "Perseverance." "I just water them and wait them out." "My garden's given me a lot more than flowers over the years." "It's given me a lot of time to think and a great deal of peace." " Bobby said you were born in a garden." " Hm." "Bobby brought me peace too." "I wanna remember Southfork just like this." "You're thinking of leaving?" "I feel it's time we should." "Well, where will you go?" "Back to where we came from, I guess." "To try to forget us?" "Oh, of course not." "Well, then, why leave us behind?" "I don't think of it like that." "It's just that with everything else going on, it might be better for everyone." "Well, speaking for me, it wouldn't." "What does Charlie say?" " I haven't talked to her about it yet." " Why don't you?" "Six, seven, eight, nine, 30." " Howdy." "Howdy." "Didn't mean to interrupt." "Well, you're not interrupting much." "Just out for a little ride?" "Yeah." "Great day for it, huh?" "Yes, sir, it is." "I'm thinking about building a new house here." "Pretty spot." "Seems like we need some more room." "I heard." "Congratulations." "Thank you very much." "Waiting a long time to have a family of my own, so it'll be something." "Guess I kind of sound like an old goat, huh?" "Ha-ha-ha." "Oh, I don't know." "Sounds pretty good to me." "You thinking about putting some roots down here, Jack or be heading back to where you came from?" "You know what they say, can't go back." "Where was that, anyway?" "Nowhere." "So is the sun gonna rise in your bedroom?" "Yeah." "Set on my front porch." "Gonna be real nice, Ray." "Yeah, it's gonna be real nice." "There." "How's that, huh?" " You getting dizzy?" "Christopher?" " It's time for your nap, honey." " Oh, Mama." " Now, you mind your mama." " Come on." "And don't forget, we're going horseback riding on Saturday." "Okay." "You be a good boy?" " I will." "I tell you, that little fella's a pistol." "I wondered how long it would take you to get over here." "Pam, this is not any easier for me than it is for you." "Next time, leave Christopher out of it." "Well, I'm here because of Christopher." "You mean his 30 percent of Ewing Oil." "Pam, I know that Bobby meant well when he named you administrator but frankly, I think that choice was a little more romantic than it was smart." " Is that so?" " Yes, it is." "See, sooner or later you're gonna have to make decisions that Bobby used to make." "And I don't think he really wanted you to have to do that." "Well, what do you think he wanted?" "I think he wanted you to benefit from this 30 percent not have it be a burden to you." "Pam, you've got enough to worry about without adding the business of Ewing Oil." "And what are you suggesting?" "That you do it?" "Better than that." "I wanna buy back his shares in Ewing Oil." "It'd be the best thing we could do." "Christopher'd have all the money he'd ever need and you'd never have to worry about Ewing Oil again." "Bobby wanted me to protect the estate, not sell it." "Well, you could do both." "You could sell his interest in the company and invest that money anywhere you want to." "Selling would make me feel like I was abandoning something." "Abandoning Bobby." "The only thing you'd be abandoning is misery." "You and Christopher could get on with your lives put the source of all this pain behind you." "Pam, I know you always hated Ewing Oil." "Hated it for what it did to Bobby and your family." "Why carry that on into another generation?" "Why inflict that on Christopher?" "Look, I know how you feel." "Things are pretty confusing right about now." "I don't want an answer overnight but I want you to give this some honest thought, as I have." "Pam I'll make you the best offer possible." "Oh, I meant what I said about taking Christopher horseback riding on Saturday." "I'll call you later in the week, see if it's all right." "Mama would sure like to see him." "Why do I feel nervous every time you call a secret meeting?" "Face it, Marilee." "I always did make you nervous." "Spare us, Cliff." "Tell us what this is all about." "Well, I have some wonderful news for you, for us." "Suppose I told you that I could predict what J.R. Ewing was gonna buy and sell next month?" "What are you talking about?" "I'm talking about knowing, without a doubt whether or not he plans to bid on anything you're after and exactly what the bid's going to be." "Wait a second, wait a second." "I am talking about having 100-percent-genuine inside information." "He'll never pull a deal out from under you because you'll be able to beat him to the punch." "Cliff, are you telling us you just discovered corporate spying?" "This gives corporate spying a new meaning." "Who is this person, and how reliable is he?" "She." "My sister." "Pam?" "I suppose by now you know that Pam controls 30 percent of Ewing Oil that Bobby left everything to their son Christopher and she's the administrator." "She is, in effect, a full and equal partner to J.R. Ewing." "Well, what are you telling us?" "Well, I'm going to be helping her as the administrator of the estate." "I'm going to lend my expert advice and I'm going to examine every deal that goes down." "What is it you want from us?" "I just wanna know who my friends are." "Does Pam know about this?" "Of course she does." "She's behind me all the way." "Well, the emergency rooms have been checked." "And from this point on, all accident reports are being channeled through our office." "Well, she just didn't disappear off the face of the earth." "This photograph of her will help." "Where would she go?" "Judging from what you told me, wherever she can get a drink." "She could be anywhere in this city, sipping her blues away." "Sue Ellen's had lost weekends before and she's always come home." "But this time, I'm afraid it's different." "It all sounds so awful." "Isn't there anything we can do?" "Short of forming a posse, no." "Sheriff's got a lot of ground to cover." "It'll take time." "And time's the one thing an alcoholic runs out of fast." "If we don't find her soon, you are gonna have to reconsider going public with this." "Making a statement to the press or trying to reach her through the media." "I know how sensitive J.R. Is about the publicity but it may be the thing that saves her life." "We understand that, and I'm sure J.R. Does too." "He must be terribly upset by this." "Tell him we're doing everything we possibly can, will you?" "Yes, of course." "Miss Ellie, we were all real sorry to hear about Bobby." "He was a fine man." "Thank you, sheriff." " You'll call us?" " I'll be in touch." "Miss Ellie?" "J.R. Is on the phone." "Thank you, hon." " J. R?" " Mama?" "I checked with the sheriff earlier." "He said he's gonna need a picture of Sue Ellen." " Yes." "They were just here." "Oh?" "Nothing new?" "No." "I'm afraid not." "But they'll find her, J.R." "I know." "If anything happens..." " I'll call you right away." " Yeah, you do that." " Bye, J.R." " Goodbye." "Damn, where's that woman?" "Get away!" "Get off of me!" "Hey, take it easy." "Get off of me!" "Get your hands off me." "Get off!" "Get off!" "Off!" "Get the hell off of me." "I don't want it." "Don't you touch me." "Get me out of here!" "No!" "I hate to rush you like this, but we got a call a while ago about a woman in the drunk tank that fits Sue Ellen's description." "Is she all right?" "How long has she been here?" "I don't even know if it's her, Miss Ellie." "Over here." "Sheriff Baldwin, Braddock." "You got a Mrs. Sue Ellen Ewing locked up in there?" "Nope." "Nobody by that name." "That can't be right." "Check again, will you?" "You guys called to tell me you had a match-up to a missing person." "Oh, right, right." "Uh, lady didn't have any ID on her." "Pretty bad shape, but she did match the description that you all sent out." "Can we see her, please?" "We've come to take her home." "I'm afraid you're too late." "They took her out of here an hour ago." "Took her?" "Where?" "Let me guess." "Detox?" "She was having a pretty rough time, shakes and all." "Thanks." "Let's go." "Where's Detox?" " You go home." "I'll go there." " No, we're going with you." "I don't think so." "It's not the place where people like you belong." "If Sue Ellen's there, that's where we belong." "If Sue Ellen is there, she's in trouble." "Come on." " Cliff, will you help me with this, please?" " Here." " Thanks." " Mm." " Pick up the pace." "We're running late." " Yeah, hold still." "Hold still." " Your hands are freezing." " Ha-ha-ha." "Cold hands, warm heart." "Oh, hold that thought." " Hello?" " Jamie." "Hi, Pam." "We got stuck here." "We're heading out the door now." "Well, actually, I'm glad I caught you." "Jamie, I've changed my mind about tonight." "I think I'm gonna pass." "Is everything all right?" "Yeah." "I just don't have any appetite." "Well, I'm sorry." "We were really looking forward to spending some time with you." "Hold on." "Hi, sis." "Everything all right?" "I'm fine." "I just don't feel like going out tonight." "Oh, no, no, no." "Stop talking like that, you know." "I mean, it's no good for you to be cooped up." "Cliff, I'm not cooped up." "I just have a lot on my mind and I need some quiet time to figure things out." "Yeah, well, that's all right, but you think about that tomorrow." "Well, I can't." "J.R.'s got me all wound up." "And before I know it, it'll be Saturday and Christopher will want to go horseback riding and J.R. Will be pressing me for an answer." "What?" "I don't understand." "What do you mean, J.R. Pressing you for an answer?" "About whether I'll sell Christopher's stock in Ewing Oil back to him." "He made me an offer today." "Well, now, that's ridiculous." "You told him no, didn't you?" "I didn't tell him anything." "I'm just thinking about it, that's all." "Well, stop thinking about it, you can't sell him anything." "You can't sell him anything, you don't even talk to him, because he'll cheat you." "He will, he'll cheat you." "Cliff, calm down." "Nobody's going to cheat me." "Look, I'm tired." "I don't wanna talk about it right now, okay?" "Why don't you just go out to dinner?" "And maybe I'll see you tomorrow." "Okay." "Uh, yeah, there's time to talk about that tomorrow but listen, you promise me, you don't do anything until you talk to me." " Promise?" " I promise." "Okay." "Good night." "Goodbye, Cliff." "I don't know what you're looking so worried about." "You know as well as I do, your figures and your projections are as solid as steel." "Then your bank won't have any trouble arranging this loan?" "Well, the Cattleman's Bank can't swing it all alone." "We'll pull in the right partners without any trouble." "You just leave it to us." "Well, all we have to do now is get the Barnes woman off the dime." "A delicate situation, huh?" "Hmm." "She's attaching a sense of loyalty to this thing." "Well, I guess I am too." "I can't imagine anyone turning down an offer the size of the one you're making." "Along with all her other assets, she'll be one of the wealthiest people in the state." " In the country, for that matter." " Well, can you imagine her getting this far?" "There's just no accounting for some things." "You sure you're not gonna have that drink?" "I'm afraid my drinking days are over." "Thanks, anyway, J.R." "Trying to tell me you're getting old?" "I'm trying to tell you I wanna get old." "Give my best to Miss Ellie and the family." "Will you, J. R?" " I will." "Good night." " Good night." "I'll be honest with you, this place makes my skin crawl." "I'll wait out here." "You can wait with me, Miss Ellie." "Why don't you, Ellie?" "Which bed?" "Thirteen." "The patients you see are all here for the same reason." "To detoxify." "To dry out." "It's a very risky process." "Delirium tremens." "More commonly known as the D.T.'s." "They all get them." "They don't all survive." "Thirteen." "Jane Doe." "Female." "Caucasian." "Weight:" "Approximately 110." "Height:" "Approximately 5' 10"." "Eyes:" "Green." "Hair:" "Brown." "All her teeth." "Whoever she is, she's in very bad shape." "I'll turn her over." "You can tell me if it's who you're looking for, okay?" "You gonna be all right?" "Go ahead." "We'll go to my office." "I don't know what good I can do." "All I know is I feel better if I offer my help." "You can do that by phone." "You don't have to go to Southfork." " It's not the same on the phone." " I don't want you going to Southfork." "Cliff, I'm not talking about Southfork." "I don't care about that." "I'm talking about our friend, Sue Ellen." "Okay, okay." " Hello, Cliff." " Nice to see you." " Hello, Jamie." " Jeremy." " You two celebrating?" " Celebrating?" "Your family inheritance." "Oh, that's Christopher and Pam's inheritance." "Well, it's the same thing." "I'm really happy for you." "You've been waiting for this a long time." "I just hope we get a chance to enjoy it before Pam decides to sell it back to J.R." "Why on earth would she do that?" "Some things are very difficult to explain." "What a shame to spoil all your fun." "Yep." "Well, good night." "I didn't mean to interrupt." " Jamie." "Good night." "I don't like him." "He's harmless." "I want to understand this." "Sue Ellen's not under arrest for anything." "She's not under arrest." "But you won't release her." "Not tonight." "Well, when, then?" "When can I take her home?" "I don't understand your rush." "I wanna get her out of here." "I wanna take her home and get her medical attention." "What do you think she's getting?" "The best medical attention that money can buy." "There isn't enough money in the world to buy her what she needs." "I won't let her rot in this place!" "She was rotting out there in the streets, in your home." "And this place saved her life." "And I won't let her go until you understand what happened today." "Now, Sue Ellen is an alcoholic." "For her, alcohol is lethal." "It's one of the strongest drugs man uses, and she overdosed." "If she had been left out on the street unsupervised her withdrawal could have been fatal." "Now, Sue Ellen beat the odds this time." "But if she goes on drinking, she'll kill herself." "Unless God gave you a talent he hasn't given anyone else you're not gonna keep her from taking that next drink, and that's all it'll take." "If I let you sign that release form now I'd be watching you sign her death certificate." "J. R?" "Mama." "Are you all right?" "We found Sue Ellen." "Oh, well." "Lucky us." "Is she upstairs?" "Has she made a fool of herself?" "Listen to me." "She's in the detox ward at the county hospital." "The police found her passed out in an alleyway and threw her in the drunk tank." "When I couldn't reach you, Clayton and I went there to get her." "By the time we got there, she'd gone into convulsions." "The D.T.'s, they call it." "She was taken to the detox ward." "She's there now, barely alive." "What are we gonna do?" "You, J.R., what are you going to do?" "I don't know." "Well, I do." "You're going to face this problem once and for all." "I won't let you run away from it or pass it on to me or Clayton or Dusty or the police." "Sue Ellen is your wife." "And as long as she is, she's your responsibility." "I don't care what shape your marriage is in." "She's a woman that we have loved and a woman that has loved us." "She's the mother of your son, who still needs her." "She's a member of this family, J.R. She is a Ewing." "And your personal feelings don't change any of that or in any way excuse you from helping her." "She won't listen to me, Mama." "She doesn't want my help." "She doesn't want anybody's help." "She's sick." "And she'll kill herself if you let her." "Which is exactly why you have to make the decision for her." " What decision?" " You've asked me for my support before." "Now, you've got it." "You have to commit Sue Ellen to a sanitarium where we can at least begin to help her." " She'd never agree to that." " She has no choice." "And neither do you." "I'll back you up, J.R., but you've got to lead the way." "Tomorrow." "Tomorrow." "Whoa." "Whoa." "Whoa." "Looking good." "You know, for a fella that hasn't done this in a long time, you sure seem right at home." "It's a good thing I don't have anything planned for tomorrow." " I don't think I'd be able to walk." " Ha-ha-ha." "Well, it hurts the body, but it's good for the soul." "Boy, that it is." "I think it sure beats going to the office, don't you?" "You're not interested in the oil business, huh?" "Well, it's just something that came between me and my family once too often." " Sounds familiar." " Yeah, I'll bet." "At least you got all this, Ray, and Donna and a baby on the way." " I think that's great." " Yes, sir, it is." "How about you?" "Did you ever marry?" "Almost." "Once." "Didn't work out." " Well, there's plenty of time for that." " Not if I keep this up." "Ha-ha-ha." "That's right, son." "Now, over the top." "That's right." "Over the top and stick it down through the loop." "You got it?" "Pull it up." "That's it." "You look so grown-up." " Just like you?" " Yeah." "Yeah, just like me." "And you know what?" "I'm gonna need you to act grown-up too." " Okay." " All right?" "Now, you know your mama's been pretty sick." "She gonna have to spend a little time in the hospital." "How long?" "Oh, not too long, I hope." "Can we go see her?" "No, I'm afraid not, not right away." "And this is the grown-up part." "We're gonna have to give her all the time she needs to get well." "And I know you're gonna miss her." "She'll miss you too." "But she knows you love her, and that's the important thing." "And when she's all better, she'll be coming home and, well, you can show her how you tie your tie." "Uncle Bobby didn't come back." "No, but this is not like that." "I promise." "I'm scared." "Don't be scared." "Don't be scared." "Your mama will be coming home." "I promise." "Yes, Jackie?" "Cliff, Jeremy Wendell is here to see you." "Hmm." "Show him in." "Thank you." " Hello, Cliff." " Hello, Jeremy." " Can I bring you anything?" " No, thank you." "What brings you here?" "I have a business proposition I think you'll like very much." "Well, if it's about selling out to Westar, forget it, I'm not interested." "No, it's about doing each other a favor and putting J.R. Ewing out of business." " Ha-ha-ha." "How fascinating." " And simple." "Since your sister now controls 30 percent of Ewing Oil J.R. Is much more vulnerable than he's been in a long time." "I know that." "And I intend to use my influence with Pam to make his life miserable." "Better than that, if you can influence her convince her to sell her son's stock to me." "To sell it to you?" "If I can persuade any other Ewing to sell 10 percent, and I think I can Westar will control more of Ewing Oil than J.R." "Hey, hey, what's in that for me?" "I recognize how pivotal your role in this is." "And for that, I will make the new company a wholly-owned subsidiary of Westar and appoint you as its chief executive officer." "The chief executive." "In other words?" "You'll be J.R.'s boss." "I'll be J.R.'s very rich boss." "Naturally." "I think I might like to be paid secretly." "Could that be arranged?" "I think it could." "Why?" "Well, just in case Pam got upset or..." "You know, in the event my marriage went wrong." "Marriage seemed sound last night." "You looked like two lovebirds..." "We are." "I said, just in case." "This'll be the biggest news to hit this state in years but it all depends on you and your sister." "Yeah, that's no problem." "Uh..." "She listens to what I say." "Well, I'll leave it in your hands." " Be anxious to hear from you." " Mm-hm." "Get back to you right away." "Jackie get ahold of Pam for me right away." "Excuse me, please." "Uh, Ewing?" "Thirteen." "You have nothing to be ashamed of." "Nothing to be afraid of anymore." "Sue Ellen, I'm here because I love you." "I'm here to keep that promise I made to help you no matter what it takes, no matter how long it takes." "Because I wanna see you healthy again." "Because I want you." "I want a drink." "Oh, God, no, darling." "A drink would kill you." "Kill me." "Sue Ellen, no." "Don't be like this." "Just hang on." "Hang on to me." "Farlow!" "What the hell are you doing here?" "Let go of my wife, you hear?" " Settle down, I'm warning you." " Bastard, I ought to tear your head off." "You stay away from me, and you stay away from Sue Ellen." "Listen, is this the way you're helping her?" "Is this the way you're helping her?" "You're a genius, you are!" "You get out of here, or I'll kill you, I swear it." "Look, I love her, and I'm never gonna let you hurt her again, you..." "No!" "No!" "You're safe." "You're safe." "You're safe." "Is everything all right?" " What?" " The quarterly reports." " Is there something wrong?" " Oh, no, no, they're fine." "Here." "Uh, can I do anything else for you before I leave?" "No." "You go on home." "I'll close up." "May I come in?" "Sure, Mandy, come on." "Good night." " Night." " Good night." "Oh, listen, I really gotta apologize." "I got so caught up in work, I lost track of time." "Relax, J.R., we didn't have a date." "I just came by to tell you how sorry I was about Sue Ellen, and that I was..." "You heard?" "Where?" "Well, unfortunately, you are a famous man." "That makes her a famous wife." "It was on the 6:00 news." "Ugh, damn." "Well, at least the worst is over." "She's safe." "She'll be getting better." "You should see where they got her." "You should see her." "I'm sure it must be awful." "God, you wouldn't even recognize her." "J. R..." "And that idiot Farlow climbing all over her telling her how he was gonna help her." "She probably wouldn't be there in the first place if it wasn't for him." "And what about his marriage, huh?" "What about his life?" "It's not enough that he screws up his own marriage, is it?" "And Sue Ellen..." "God, it was like it wasn't her there." "It was like somebody else in her body." "The look on her face, in her eyes it was so lifeless." "So full of confusion and fear." "Nothing like the first time I saw them." "Good Lord, she had the most beautiful eyes in Texas." "She was in a beauty contest and I was one of the judges." "I was young and wild." "I'd never seen so many gorgeous women in one place in my whole life." "And there was Sue Ellen, right up in the middle of them." "She was so tall and shy." "And those wonderful eyes were filled with fire and spirit." "You never saw anything like it." "There were 32 women up on that stage, and I couldn't see any of them but her." "I knew she'd win." "From the minute I laid eyes on her, I knew she'd win." "Miss Texas 1967." " Brush your teeth?" " Yes, ma'am." " You said your prayers?" " Yes, ma'am." " Did you have fun today?" " Yes, ma'am." "Are you gonna grow up to be a cowgirl?" "Well, maybe." "It was sure fun watching the branding." "Fun?" "They say it doesn't hurt them that much." " Who says?" " Jack." "Well, how would he know?" "Has he ever been branded?" "You got me." "Honey." "You really like it here, don't you?" "Yeah, but you know me." "I'll like it anywhere." "But if you had a choice would you stay at Southfork?" " What about you?" " No, I asked you first." "I love it here." "If we stayed it might not be easy at first." "I mean, you just can't move in on a family." "You have to try to be part of it." "Not just chores but all the things that come along with the territory." "Like being a good daughter or a sister or a cousin or a niece." "Yeah." "Family stuff." "Ha-ha-ha." "Yes, family stuff, honey." "Mama, I promise I'll be good at that." "Ohh." "You'll be great at it, honey." "Here's the snap." "White drops back at the pass." "The Bovines send in a four-man rush." "White steps out of the pocket..." " What are you doing?" " Nothing." "He's a full stride ahead of Benson..." "Nothing?" "I mean, there's less than two minutes to play." "SMU's on the fourth, a goal to go." "And you're looking at the wall." "Yeah." "It doesn't work." "Stumbles." "Smith..." " What doesn't?" "Their reverse." "Let's see what where they mark." "How do you know that?" " Tape delay." "They lost." " Ray." "Oh, I'm sorry." "Oh, well, you're just gonna have to make it up to me." "Okay." "I love you." "Okay, now, tell me." "Why are you looking at that wall?" "I was wondering how it would look with a door in it." "It has a door." "A different door." "Not going outside." "One right here going out to a nursery." "Oh." "Oh." "But I decided I like the door in the other house better." "Ugh." "What other house?" "The house I'm thinking about building for us." "Where and when?" "Well, up on a ridge near Pepper's Meadow." "You wanna build a house?" "Wanna see the plans?" "Uh, you have plans?" "You have to have plans to build a house." "Oh." " How long have you had these?" " Now, don't get excited." "Not very long." "I'm not sure I wanna move." "Well, I'm not sure I want to either." "But that's what these are for, to help us decide." "Oh, well, it doesn't have anything to do with this house or that house or..." "I know that." "Do you?" "Has to do with whether or not we're gonna be able to work out all of our problems." " We don't have problems anymore." " That's right." "What is it?" "It feels like an SMU reverse." " Are you all right?" " Yeah." " You sure?" " Ha, ha." "I'm fine." "Really." "How long does it take to build a house?" "Maybe we better get started on that nursery." "Pam, it's all right there in Katherine's diary." "She was trying to kill you." "You know, Katherine was trying to kill you, not Bobby." "Then she jumped bail and went to Europe." "And she went to Italy where she offered Naldo a fortune to remarry Jenna." "To break her and Bobby up?" "Yeah, and apparently, Naldo figured the only way that he could force Jenna to marry him was to kidnap Charlie and then threaten Jenna that she'd never see her daughter again." " That's awful." " But that wasn't good enough for our sister." "Because she worried that Naldo would someday tell the truth so she hired an assassin to kill him and pin it on Jenna." "And that was the same assassin that murdered Jenna's only witness on the airplane." "Cliff, it's all so crazy." "Very." "But that was her way of getting Jenna out of Bobby's life." "And then she tried to do the same thing to you." "So much hate." "How could so much hate be in one person?" "Where did the police find this diary?" "They found it in her motel room." "I don't think we should tell anybody about this." "You know, especially J.R. That would only make a bad situation worse." "More hate." "And more hurting." "Well, I'm not gonna let J.R. Hurt you." "I'm not gonna let anybody hurt you anymore." "Maybe I should sell Christopher's interest in Ewing Oil." "Well, maybe you should." "You know, whatever you think is best." "You know, I only wanna do what's best for you." "I'll help you in any way I can." "Thank you." " Do you have any questions, Mr. Ewing?" " Yes." "What if I decided to change my mind?" "It doesn't happen very often, but I would respect your wishes." "It wouldn't be a problem." "I just wanna make sure everything's perfect." "We're the best." " Would you like to see for yourself?" " No." "Well, I mean, that won't be necessary." "Where do I sign?" " By the X here." " Mm-hm." " And here." " Right." "And, uh, on the bottom of the next page." "Yes, there." "All right, thank you." "From this point on, we will take care of everything." "The transfer will be arranged for tomorrow." "Good." "I'll call you and check with you then." "As you wish." "Mama." "It's all right, J.R." "You've done what had to be done." "Someday, Sue Ellen will thank you for it."
