"Hold the mayo on mine." "I'll take whatever you're making." "I'm not really hungy." "I don't even know why I came down." "Come on, Fallon, Iet's clear the air, okay?" "You don't have to run away." " l'm not." " You are and you have been." "Look, we both went overboard making love that night in Montana." "It was a mistake and we both realise it and it's not going to happen again." "But we do live in the same house and occasionally we run into each other." "And you'd like to think we could raid the refrigerator together without feeling uncomfortable." "That would be nice." "Well, maybe I did overreact a little." "A lot." "A lot." "What do you want on your sandwich?" "Well, I'll take whatever you're making." "Ham, cheese, all the trimmings?" "Kirby." "We were just grabbing a bite." "Why don't you join us?" "I just lost my appetite." "Kirby, I don't know why you're making" "Kirby?" "Look, I don't know what you overheard downstairs, but we can't talk through a locked door." "Now open up." "Why?" "I have nothing to say to you." "Because I want you to come out." "Now, you're not a child anymore, damn it." "I don't know what I am to you." "I don't know." "Well, then why don't you stay in there until you figure it out?" " Fine." " In the meantime, if you need me I'll be downstairs having a sandwich." "Good morning, Mrs. Colby." "Good morning, Irene." "Hi, little Blake." "Did you fill that little tummy of yours this morning?" "Little Blake ate beautifully." " All of his oatmeal?" " Well, just about all." "Good." "Now, what is that saying?" ""We have to stop meeting this way."" "Something like that." " Maybe it's lust animal magnetism." " Don't start, Jeff." "Not even as a joke." "Which it isn't." "Where were you last night?" "I went back to the kitchen and you were gone." "Well, remember you said you lost your appetite." "I lost mine too." "Twice in less than 5 minutes." "Must be some kind of record." "Well, it doesn't have to be that way." "Yes, it does." "I have to go." " Daddy." " Good morning, darling." "Are you going to that oil conference" " in Los Angeles tomorrow?" " Yes, indeed." "Why?" "I wanna hitch a ride with you." "You mean, you're gonna abandon your hotel, even for one day?" "No, no." "It has to do with La Mirage." "I wanna see an architect who's doing some exciting things there." "I haven't been getting what I want for the new wing." " Is that all right?" " All right." "Consider yourself booked." " Thanks." " Bye." "There's the three-minute eggs you ordered." "I'll see what's happening in the kitchen." "Thank you, Gerard." "Fallon, I've been waiting a week for you to say something to me." "Say what, Adam?" "That you apologise." "For having suspected me in complicity with Jeff's malaise." "The word is "poisoning."" "Yes, poisoning." "I was tying to protect Mother." "Oh, God." "Protecting Mother." "All I can say is you have a vey easy conscience." "What does that mean?" "What it means, is anyone who could have known anything that horrible and kept his mouth shut for even five seconds, is guilty in my book." "Father's forgiven me, Fallon." "Well, I haven't." "And I never will." "What's your problem, really?" "is this excess of hostility on your part due to the fact that you're simply going through a period of starvation?" "A kind of sexual anorexia?" "How dare you talk to me like this." "I dare." "And I also dare say that what you really need is some guy to help you out." "I understand you were quite a free spirit in various beds." "Maybe you should revive an old talent." "It would probably make you a hell of a lot more fun to live with." "You did that once before, and once is it." "You scum." "You're no better than Mother." "You and Alexis are two of a kind." "Now, what does that make you, Fallon?" "We're all part of the same family, my beloved sister." "Lest you forget." "It's good, huh?" "You finished?" "Yes." "It's good." "Where's Daddy?" "Here, why don't you have soup?" "And the apple sauce too." "There's Daddy." " Good morning." " Hi." "Good morning." "You were sleeping, I didn't wanna wake you." "Well, Danny did." "He said, "Hey, I'm hungy." Look at him." "He's tying to feed himself." " Where's Mrs. Gordon?" " She had to go run an errand but she said she'd be back before we both go to work." "Oh, darling, would you get that?" "I've got some things on the stove." "Hello?" "Good morning, Mother." "Okay." "Right." "Bye-bye." "Sweetheart?" "Oh, that looks great but I'm afraid I can't stay. I'm sory." " Why not?" " l've gotta run downtown." "I've got a meeting with my mother." " As in breakfast meeting?" " Yeah." "Steven, I thought your hours were your own." "Until the office that you work real hard in at least opens." "Believe me. I would rather stay here and be with you." "But I've been doing some research on this tar sands project in Canada and Alexis needs to talk to me about it." "She needs to talk to you?" "Or she wants to steal an extra precious hour with her son?" "I could use a translation on that one, Claudia." "Okay, here it comes." "The operative word is "irritated."" "I am irritated with your mother." "Because she seems to demand a lot of time from you." "Which I should be spending with you." "Yes, damn it." "Well, I'm sory, Claudia, but I'm in the oil business." "And you of all people should know it's not a 9-to-5 operation." "I've gotta get dressed." "Thank you." "Blake." "I'm in the middle of it right now." "Alexis' version of why the merger was called off." ""'The Denver-Carrington management has set no records for creative gromh,' said Mrs. Colby." "'And Colbyco, therefore, cancels the merger plans."'" "That amounts to slander on her part." "Yes, but I can't sue her because it would open up the whole ugly incident with Jeff." "Then I want your okay to issue another release." "Covering Denver-Carrington's financial gromh rate for the past six months." "Which we both know is more impressive than Colbyco's." "And I think we should publicise it." "Fine." "I like your fighting style, champ." "I've just begun to fight." "Then go to it." "Now, how about some coffee?" "Great." "Incidentally, there's something else I want from you." "The pleasure of your company on a trip tomorrow." "Los Angeles?" "The oil conference?" "I'd also like to go out to the racetrack." "There's a horse I'm interested in running in the seventh race." " Sounds like fun." " Then you'll go with me?" " Yes." " Good." "Because I've already reserved a suite for you there." "Did you, now?" "Well, back to business." "I'll have copies of my release ready to hand out there." "Just in case it hasn't come out in the press yet." "Oh, Kystle?" "Are you enioying yourself with all this?" "I mean, are you happy here?" "Yes. I am happy." "I woke up in the middle of the night and I thought:" ""What a good feeling sharing his life." "Being near him again."" ""Him"?" "I hope you were referring to me." "Yes, referring to you." " Marcia." " Yes, Mr. Carríngton?" "Call Jensen's phone, will you?" "Tell Mr. Jensen l'll be by this afternoon to talk about designing a vey special ring." "Ríght away, sír." "Just coffee this morning, Mrs. Colby?" "Yes, that's all." "Thanks, Jack." "You can go." "Good morning, Jeff." " What's all the urgency?" " What the hell is this?" "Oh, I believe it's called the financial section of The Chronícle." "Which prints self-serving lies for rich ladies." "How much did you pay this reporter to get him to believe this garbage?" "I don't like your tone, Jeff." "And I don't want you speaking for me without consulting me first." "I own half of this company, in case you've forgotten." "No, I have not forgotten." "Let me tell you something." "When an important merger is approved by the government and then called off, people in this industy are going to gossip." "Something you're not used to." "Something that I thought that should be ended in the most effective way." "I've been kidding myself for the past week that I'd find a way to live with you." "In business." "But the kidding is over." "From now on I want nothing more to do with you." "Really?" "What do you want?" "Buy me out or I buy you out." "All right." "I'll buy." "But in your late uncle's name." "Name your price." "You own 47 percent of Denver-Carrington." "The shares my Uncle Cecil bought up tying to do Blake in." "I'll trade you 47 of my 50 percent of Colbyco." "An even swap." "Blake let you off easy." "If it had been up to me I would've stepped in and ruined you." "Now make up your mind while there's still time." "Just follow my orders, Gerald." "I run this company, and when I want your opinion I'll ask for it, councillor." " Mother." " Steven." "Darling, come in." "What have you got for me?" "The latest data on the tar sands just came into the office." "Oh, good." "Not so good?" "It's lust that I don't understand your sudden interest in that arena when economically, it's not all that feasible." "Darling, I'll be the iudge of that." "Thank you." "If that's a dismissal, I'm not ready to go yet." "Oh, Steven, I would never dismiss you." "But I will dismiss these ladies." "Thank you." "It's beautiful work as usual." "I'll see you next week." "Well, you obviously have something else to say, so why don't you say it?" "I've been waiting a week now for you to tell me the real stoy behind your decision to call off the merger with Denver-Carrington." "Why is it I'm not entitled to know what's going on here at Colbyco?" "Steven, trust me." "I know what I'm doing." "And maybe, lust maybe, Blake's involved in this." " What do you mean?" " Did his threats the day we came back from San Francisco change your mind?" "Of course not." "Hollow threats from your father don't bother me." "Oh, Steven, don't look at me like that." "Other people do and I don't care, but not you." "Oh, darling." "Eveything that I do, I do for you." "Colbyco belongs to you and me and your son." "Together the three of us, we're gonna conquer the world." "You should make that the four of us, Mother." "I'm married to Claudia now." "Darling, how could I forget?" "I do know that." "I'll be at the office." "All right." "And I'll be all over the place, I have a million things to do." "You're out of Colbyco." "Yeah, and now I'm out pounding the pavement looking for a job." "Well, there must be somebody in Denver who might use you." "Well, do you need anyone to sharpen your pencils?" "How can I say no to a man who owns 47 percent of my company?" "And who's like a son to me?" "Couldn't have come at a better time." "I'm off to Los Angeles tomorrow." "You can mind the store here." "I'll arrange an office for you, but in the meantime, you use this one." ", Well, it's a bit small but I think I'll manage." "Adam, come on in." "Good morning, Father." "Jeff." "I've got some vey good news." "Wonderful news as a matter of fact." "Jeff is back where he belongs." "Here at Denver-Carrington with us." "That is wonderful news." "Congratulations, Jeff." "Thank you." "I'd like to suggest that we forget about the past." "That's behind us." "By the way, Adam." "We're gonna have to be both vey nice to Mr. Colby here because this time he's come aboard with a big chunk of the company." "Well, I think it's time for a little champagne, huh?" "Please." "Yes?" "Yes, of course, send her in." "Claudia." "Nice to see you." "Thank you, Alexis." "I'm here to pick up Steven." "We're having dinner at the St. Dennis." "Oh, well, you must ty the house pâté, it's divine." "I'm not here to talk about food." "Would you like a glass of shery?" "No, thank you." "I suppose you're angy because I went by the apartment." "Mrs. Gordon must have told you." "She said you came into the apartment and went through our bedroom closets like a tornado." "Now, Steven is a married man, Alexis." "He does not need his mother to supervise his wardrobe or his life." "What is so funny?" "It's not funny, really, it's just that it wasn't his wardrobe that I was going through, it was yours." "It was mine?" "What is wrong with mine?" "Oh, nothing." "Nothing at all." "It's perfect if you're Claudia Blaisdel." "But you're Steven Carrington's wife." "I lust wanted to surprise you and buy you a few new chic things." "That's vey kind of you." "Not at all." "Would you like a biscuit?" "No, thank you, it's vey kind of you." "Except that my husband happens to have a vey good job." "And I work as well." "So I really don't need any gifts from you." "Oh, but you do, Claudia." "You see, you're new to Steven's world and I don't think you really know what's expected of you." "Steven no longer lives in that mansion." "Or in that world." "Steven's name is Carrington." "And he's always going to bear that name and that image." "I thought it's what's inside a person that's important." "Well, of course, it is." "But you have to accept that the world, and society, iudges us by the way we act and dress." "You wouldn't want to drag Steven down, would you?" "Look, I'm sory if I've upset you." "So please accept my apology." "I'll think about it." "Well, if there's any doubt that it can be accomplished within the next 48 hours, I wanna hear about it personally." "All right, thank you." "Come in." "Oh, excuse me." "I was out riding in the area, thought I'd drop by and see Blake Carrington." "One of the servants said I'd find him in here." "Well, Blake's not here." "He's going to Los Angeles tomorrow with his former wife and his daughter." "By the way, I'm Jeff Colby." "Dex Dexter." "Sam Dexter's son." "I saw you at the board meeting." "I'm sory about your father's illness." "Well, thank you." "He's coming along slowly." "Since Blake's not here, is there anything I can do for you?" "No, I'll catch up with him when he gets back." "But you can clear up some confusion." "I thought you were a co-owner of Colbyco." "I was." "I'm with Denver-Carrington now." "Well, things happen real fast around here, don't they?" "Sometimes." "Then I've got to assume that this is a step towards reactivating the merger." "Dex, the merger's off." "Off?" "Well, there's got to be an interesting stoy behind this." "There is." "But you're not going to tell me about it." "You'll be receiving a memo about my joining Denver-Carrington along with the other board members." "Well, I will be sure to open all of my mail from now on." "It's nice to see you again." "Nice seeing you." "Hello there." "Hello." "Name's Dexter." "Mark Jennings." "Well, I see you two have met." "Mark, you know where your room is." "The downstairs suite." "is something the matter?" "Oh, no, no." "Except maybe I happen to have arrived at an inopportune moment." "Unorthodox moment would be more to the point, Mr. Dexter." " Dex." " Mr. Dexter, I usually do business at my office, not my apartment." "So, what was this pressing matter that you had to see me about?" "An invitation to dinner." "Oh, an invitation to dinner." "is that so pressing?" "The truth and nothing but?" "That would be nice." "Well, apparently, Jeff Colby has left you for Blake." "So there's more to calling off that merger than you claim there was." "So therefore, I figured that we could break bread sticks together." "And talk about what really goes on behind closed doors." "That's what closed doors are for, to keep out the curious." "I'm terribly sory i have to turn down your wonderful invitation to dinner, but you found your way up here all right," "you can find your way down." "Well, that's unfortunate." "Because I happen to know of an excellent little Italian restaurant." "Well, is this some sort of compulsion of yours or a old Wyoming custom?" "Going around kissing women that you hardly know." "As I said the last time, only when they have fantastic mouths." "Wyoming, like in "Ride them, cowboy?"" "Not amusing, Mark." "I'm paying you for protection, not for your alleged sense of humour." "I'd like you to fix me a martini." "Vodka, a whisper of vermouth, two olives, and make sure that the glass is properly iced." "Shall I bring it to your room?" "Just leave it on the bar." "Oh, and, Mark, in future I suggest that you remain in your room until I call for you." "Just a whisper of vermouth." "Maybe next time, cyanide." "Come in." " Morning." " Good morning." "Press release on Carrington Plaza." "I'd like for you to read and okay it." "Right." "I'll get to it later." "I'd like to have it released today." "The lady is in a hury." "The gentleman is right." "Why?" "is it because the lovely Kystle is in Los Angeles and you'd like to collect a little lovely gloy while she's gone?" "Well, it was my idea to toot Denver-Carrington's horn about a new real estate complex that happens to make a contribution to the beauty of the community." "And almost all in one breathe." "Bravo." " But you're forgetting one thing." " Such as?" "You're tooting your own horn along with it." "Well, it lust so happens that "ambition" is not a dirty word in my dictionay." "Excuse me." "Yes." "What is it, Jeff?" "Yeah, I'll be right there." "Don't go away." "I'll be back." "We've got a management problem out at the Big Pine fields." "Check out our foreman." "There have been a lot of complaints." "I can't do that." "I'm gonna be tied up the next few days at Carrington Plaza going over the new mall." "At whose orders, Blake's?" "No answer, Adam." "Why?" "Because you made that up to avoid doing something I asked you to do?" "I don't care what you think about anything." "But let me tell you this anyway." "Denver-Carrington's real estate operations require as much attention as its oil ventures." "And Blake lets me use my own initiative." "You're not going anywhere yet." "Ever since you came to Colbyco right up to now you've been fighting me all the way." "I wanna know why." "Vey easy answer." "Because you've never recognised me or treated me as an equal." "Oh, that's a crock, Adam, and you know it." "You know what I think it is?" "It's that you wanted Kirby but she wanted me." "Which makes you the winner and me the loser." "Well, if that makes you happy, Jeff, think what you like." "Meantime, if you're looking for me, ty the Carrington Plaza." "Nor in mine." " What?" " Ambition." "It isn't a dirty word in my dictionay either." "In fact, it's one I live by." "Good, now that we've got that settled, may I get on with some work," " after you okay my release?" " In a moment." "After we discuss my helping you up the ladder, so to speak." "Nice approach." "Classic." " But a bit out of date, Adam." " You seemed to enjoy it nonetheless." " l did." " There's more." "I just bet there is." " Your bed?" " Or yours." "Maybe I should let you in on something." "I do not partake of sex unless it's for mutual pleasure." "And I do not mix business with pleasure." "Well, that's honest enough." "If anything, I am a vey honest type." "My okay." "Okay?" "And this round goes to you, Tracy." "But the fight isn't over, and it won't be until I win." "Now, how's that for honest?" "And Vague Lady together on the front end." "Then Pugítte ís back ín thírd." "Longest Day and Vague Lady contínue stríde for stríde." "In the run for the wíre, Longest Day, Vague Lady." "Then ít's back to Pugítte followíng ín thírd." "And at the wíre, Longest Day on top." "The síxth race order of fínísh," "Longest Day was fírst, Vague Lady second, and Pugítte thírd." "And that result ís now o_ícíal wíth the exacta payíng $106" "Jeff, how are you?" "Exacta pay o_ $106.40" "Blake." "Ed, how are you?" "Darling, you remember Ed McFadden, he was at our wedding." " Oh, of course, hello." " Good to see you." " My daughter, Fallon." " Fallon." "Hi, Ed." "Would you excuse me?" "I'm gonna get our table and place a bet before the next race." " Come on." "Let's have a drink." " All right." "I'd like to put $100 on number seven to win." "Sory." "I hate to see beautiful woman to throw their money away." "You should put it on number one." " Really?" " Allegree." "A beautiful famous horse from South America." "Where you're from?" "It's where l've been living the past few years." "Well, where l come from, we make our own decisions." "So it's still number seven." "The horses are nearíng the startíng gate for the seventh race." "Mutuel wíndows wíll close shortly." "Ladíes and gentleman, please place your wagers." "The most incredibly lavish wedding I'd ever been to." "And I gotta tell you, Blake, your wife is even more gorgeous than she was then." "Ed, you've been in Australia for quite a while." "Apparently you don't know that Kystle and I are no longer married." "Well, then, it's certainly the friendliest divorce on record." "You two might even make the Guínness Book." "They're in the gate." "Looks like the race is about to start." " See you later." " All right." "Nice to see you again." "Darling, you see the reactions I'm getting?" "When are you gonna make an honest man of me?" "The flag ís up." "They're all ín líne, ready for the start." "They're o_." "It's París Red showíng early speed, wíth Chocoholíc ín second." "Bílly's Hope ís thírd." "And there goes Captaín físbee movíng up on the outsíde." " Goíng ínto the clubhouse turn" " Come on, Captain Fisbee!" " and París Red are the early leaders by mo." "Bílly's Hope ís dead thírd wíth Emma's Wít ríght alongsíde, ín fourth by mo lengths." "Chocoholíc follows ín fífth." "Small Vírtue, Allegree, straíght and away down the back stretch." "Captaín físbee and París Red stríde for stríde on the lead by mo lengths." "That's Chocoholíc followíng ín thírd, by a neck." "Bílly's Hope ís fourth." "Now, Allegree." " He gaíns ground ríght on the way" " Seven." " around the far turn." "Captaín físbee draws o_ by mo lengths." " Seven!" " París Red follows ín second as Allegree begíns to gaín ground strongly." "They're ín the stretch." " It's Captaín físbee" " Seven." "Allegree ís up on the outsíde to take the lead and pull away." " Looks like it's number one in the lead." " Yeah, he's a beauty too, isn't he?" "I don't think they're gonna catch him." "Seven!" "París Red, thírd and Chocoholíc, fourth." " But ít's Allegree down ín front." " Seven." "Allegree by a length and a half." "In the seventh race, number one, Allegree, won fírst." "Number seven, Captaín físbee second, number four" "Well, that looks like a vey promising young horse." "What's the matter, Fallon?" "Oh, nothing." "Except, next time I get some advice from a handsome stranger, I'm going to take it." "Aren't you coming to dinner with us?" "No, thanks. I'm gonna go over some sketches there." "I'll lust order something from room service." " Are you sure?" " l'm sure." "You two do not need a chaperone and I need to work." "So leave me alone, okay?" "All right." "See you in the morning." " l told you two" " Hello." " Hi." " You look surprised." "Shouldn't I be?" "You didn't take my tip." "So I placed a bet for you." "A thousand dollars at 6-to-1." "And these are your winnings." " l can't take that." " What can I do with it, throw it away?" "Look." "Who are you?" "How did you find me and get up here?" "The security in this hotel is vey" " As first class as a hotel, yes?" " Yes." "To answer your questions, I've many friends at the track who gave me your name." "And I'm pleased that you like the hotel, since I own it." "And, by the way, my name is Peter De Vilbis." "Peter De Vilbis." "The infamous playboy?" "That's a terrible thing to say about a man who works as much as I do, in 14 countries." "I didn't order this." "I didn't order any of this." "The management did." "To celebrate your winnings." "And our meeting." "Thanks." "Thanks." "Thanks a lot." "Now." "Thank you for a vey special evening." "And good night." "It will be a good night, for the two of us." " What I meant was" " Can I say it for you?" "I want you." "And you want me." "It's unforgivable." "What is?" "That anyone could be so beautiful when she wakes up." "How did you know Allegree was going to win?" "You're changing the subject." "I wanna know." "It's my own horse." "And I flew it here in my let to race in the States." "Your jet, your horse, your hotel." "Do you own eveything?" "I own many things." "Wait just a minute." "Are you impressed?" "You remind me of another man I know." "Someone I've adored ever since I was a little girl." "Then he's much too old for you." "He's my father." "Well, that sort of competition I can take." "Well, Fallon knows we're leaving for Denver right after lunch." "When I spoke to her on the phone, she said she was coming down." " l would imagine it'll be lust a matter" " Oh, here she comes." " Hi." " Hello, darling." " Hi." " Thank you." " What can we get you?" " l'm not having anything." "Thank you." "I had a huge breakfast in my room." "Well, I'm sure that we can dig up something for you on the plane." "We can't have you skipping meals, young lady." "Daddy, I'm not coming back with you and Kystle." "I have some unfinished business here." "Well, you sound vey happy about it." "I guess I am." "You finally found somebody?" "Well, it's a little early to tell, but I think maybe I have." "So I'll see you both vey soon." "I have an appointment." " Bye." " Bye." "Well, she hasn't looked like this in a long time, that glow." "And over an architect's plans?" "Well, whatever it is, it sure agrees with her." "Well, now, it's just the two of us." "Thank you." "I don't know which is the prettier." "Who is it?" "Everett." "Hury this up, Everett." "I'm meeting a fascinating girl." "Maybe you should skip the girl, Peter, and come with me." " Why?" " l just got a telegram from Italy." "Your friend wants the 6 million you owe him." "And he wants it now." "Tell him to wait." "He'll be paid." "Look, those boys don't wait." "You've got to do something fast." "I'm your lanyer, I don't wanna be your undertaker." "I told you, I'm meeting a fascinating girl whose father has millions." "So how does that help you?" "I had her last night." "The money may take a few days longer." "A cruise." "That's a vey good idea, Mr. Colby." "Well, Kirby's been having a rough time of it emotionally." "Her father's death, I know." "I read about it." "So tragic." "And I thought I'd like to surprise her with a trip." "Have her get away from eveything completely." "Well, her records here are excellent." "She's in her fifth month and eveything's coming along just fine, so" "Excuse me, doctor, but I think you have the wrong records." "Kirby's only three months pregnant." "Mr. Colby, these are the correct records." "Mrs. Colby was three months pregnant when she first came to me." "I wanna talk to you upstairs." "Now." "Jeff, what is it?" "I wasn't brooding. I promised you last night that I wouldn't." "Aren't you gonna say anything to me?" "_e55." "What is the matter?" "I wanna know what game you're playing." "What are you talking about?" "I wanna know how a girl I love and trust could lie to me." "Mary me, knowing she's pregnant, three months pregnant." " You did know, didn't you?" " l" "You knew and you planned to go on living with the lie, right?" "Ending how?" "How, Kirby?" "By pretending your full-term baby was premature?" "I didn't know I was pregnant when we got married." "I never would have gone through with it if I had known." "I love you too much for that." " As much as you love the other guy?" " l don't love him." " Oh, I see, you lust slept with him." " _e55." " Just like an ordinay tramp." " Jeff, don't. I was raped!" "Raped?" "Yes." "Who raped you?" "Who raped you?" "Adam." "Oh, my God." "You're carying Adam's baby?"
