"The ad said put this logging suit on and you'll feel like running in no time." "And you look great in that outfit, and you just keep it on, Mrs. Colby." "I'll be back in about ten minutes for your physiotherapy session." "And the way you look in that outfit, you'll be running the course in record time." " Mr. Carrington." " Good morning." "Good morning, darling." "Hi." "Well, this is more like it." "You look like you're ready to conquer the world." "Why not?" "I know you're gonna be up and walking anytime now." "is that what the experts say?" " Yes." " l've been like this for a week now." "We've had one after another poke and prod and not one of them can tell me why I can't move my legs." "You listen to me, young lady, we are gonna find out what is wrong and we're gonna make it right." "Right now, I'm gonna have a word with Dr. Walcott and see if I can't get you out of here and home where you belong." "I think it's time." "I guess I can crawl around on the floor with my son." "I'll be right back." "Don't wory, I'm not going anywhere." "Now, you listen to me, when I say move, you move." "Damn." "I totally agree with you, Mr. Carrington." "The best place for Fallon right now is at home with her family." "You seem disappointed that I agree with you." "Well, in a way I am, doctor." "My daughter can't move her legs, yet evey test, evey doctor we've consulted with says the same thing." "That there's nothing physically wrong with her." "Well, that's what our tests indicate." "There must be other tests, there must be other specialists that we could call in." "Mr. Carrington, something else is paralyzing your daughter." "Now, I happen to think it's psychosomatic, but that doesn't make it any less painful for her, or less real." "In the meantime, I'll arrange for a physiotherapist to visit Fallon on a regular basis." "Well, if this is all in her mind, as you suggest, shouldn't she be talking to a psychiatrist?" "I've tried to get her to talk to a couple of doctors on the staff in the last week, she's refused." "My daughter does have a mind of her own." "Was there something traumatic that happened to her recently?" "What exactly do you mean?" "Something unsettling." "Some emotional disturbance of sorts." "Divorce, or...?" "Yes, there was." "Not a divorce." "It turned out that the man she was gonna mary was not quite what she hoped he would be and the relationship ended vey badly." "Well, that might be our answer, if we can get her to talk about it." "Hopefully we can get her to break down that barrier she's set up." "But until she does, she's gonna need regular workouts." "Tendons stretched, muscles toned, massage." "I don't care what it takes, doctor, or how long." "I'm going to see my daughter walk again." "Yes, this is exactly what I wanted." "It certainly took you long enough." "That newspaper stoy's more than 20 years old, Mrs. Colby." "Digging up a microfilm about a butler's wife takes time." "Time is money, Mr. Hess, and you're beginning to cost me too much of that." "Kirby Anders' mother wasn't exactly front-page news." " Like I said" " Yes, I know, it takes time." "And now it's time for you to pick up your cheque, which is on the desk over there, and leave." "The rear elevator, of course." "You really get it on playing God with other people's lives, don't you?" "You get well paid for it." "Yeah, I do all right, but" "But?" "Suppose one of these schemes blows up in your face?" "No, Mr. Hess, it'll blow up in your face as we agreed." "So let's lust see that it doesn't happen, all right?" "Good day." " Yes, Marcia?" " The díscharge nurse ís on líne one." "And Mrs. Colby ís out here." "Good, send her in." "This is Mr. Carrington." "My daughter is being" "My daughter's being released from the hospital today." "Yes, this afternoon." "Fallon Colby." "That's right." "Now, I'm gonna pick her up." "Would you be kind enough to see that's she's all packed and ready to go?" "Yes, that will be fine." "Thank you vey much." " Blake" " Now, before you erupt, Alexis, I am not keeping any secrets from you." "Fallon is coming home from the hospital this afternoon." "And I think it's important that we all pull together." "That we show her that we're a family." "And that we're all behind her." " l'd like that." " Good." " Then I'll see you at the house." " No." "Don't tell me you got something more important to do." "You know that there's nothing more important in my life than my children." "However, the last time that I saw Fallon in the hospital, she made it clear that she didn't want to see me" " and she asked me to leave." " Yes, but that was then." "Oh, Blake, I don't think that anything has changed now." "In fact, I know it hasn't." "Anyway, the reason that I wanted to see you was because of Adam." "All right, what about Adam?" "He's in trouble." "He's in serious trouble." "He runs the risk of ruining his life if he marries that girl." " "That girl" being Kirby." " Exactly." "Now, I know it was a noble gesture for him to promise to mary her when she was pregnant" "But that's all changed now as you see it." "Yes, marriage is out of the question." "I won't allow it and I hope you'll support me on this." "Alexis, first of all Adam is a big boy n!" "ow." "He doesn't need his mother to tell him what to do." "And, secondly, I'm not sure that this marriage would be a mistake." "Blake." "Adam has hurt a lot of people, including Kirby." "By not turning his back on her now, he's finally acting like a man." "And I have no intention of interfering with that." "As usual, Blake, when it comes to the children, I'm the only one who cares." "You may think that the butler's daughter is good enough for our son, but I certainly don't." "Goodbye, Blake." "Thank you, Gerard." "I'd like to cary her back." "Of course." "Welcome home." "She'll be all right, Blake, now that she's home." "Hi." "Hi." " Sory I didn't make it to dinner." " Listen, don't wory about it." "You're tired, you've had a long day, you don't have to apologise for that." "Okay, I'm not sory." "Now, that's the Fallon I know." "Real trouper, huh?" "You know, as a matter of fact, that's what our son said to me." "Oh, really?" "Yeah, I went in to the nursey for a "Hi, Dad,"" "and he said to me, "You know, Dad, Mom's really looking terrific."" "And I said, "You're right." He said, "A real trouper, huh?"" "Not even 2 years old, and he's getting more precocious by the day." "Well, you have to consider who his parents are." "Listen, why don't the two of us celebrate your homecoming?" "Just the two of us with a little champagne." "Sounds pretty good." "I'll be right back." "How is she, Jeff?" "Well, she seems okay, but I don't think it would take much to tip her over right now." "I know." " Thanks." " Okay." "Well, that was fast." "What, did you have the champagne cooling in the hall?" "Oh, I thought you were Jeff." "Well, at least you sound cheerful." " Oh, do I?" " Yes." "You know something, Fallon, you and I haven't had one of our good old gab sessions in a long time." "And there's so much to talk about." "You mean about the man I almost married?" "Yes." "There's nothing to talk about." "All week long, no one's heard you even mention his name." "Why should I?" "I don't even wanna hear it." "Yes, I know that, darling, but you've got to." "You got to face reality." "Peter De Vilbis is going to iail and he's going to pay." "He's gonna pay dearly for what he's done to you." "As far as I am concerned" "Let's lust say I made a mistake and forget it." "Well, I'm not gonna forget about it, you can be sure of that." "And until you can deal with this, until you can talk about it, I don't know" "Daddy, please, leave it alone." "Look, you know what I'd like to do right now?" "I'd really lust like to see my son and hold him." "Would you get him for me?" "Please?" "Sure." "Good morning, Kirby." "Good morning, Jeanette." "Have you seen Fallon this morning?" "Yes." "She's in her room looking a little bit better." "I think being with her son these past couple of days has helped." "Oh, I'm sure it has." "Good morning." "Good morning, Kirby." " Good morning, Adam." " You look vey comfortable." "In fact, I can't think of a better way to start the day than just looking at you." "I have one thing on my mind, and that is to look in on Fallon." "Now, Kirby." "Kirby, let me tell you something." "You can see Fallon later." "Will you let me go?" "Do you really want me to?" "I don't think so." "Oh, Kirby." "Together, we can have eveything we've ever wanted." "All the dreams become real." "Power and wealth." "The Carrington name." "is that all you want from me, a Carrington heir?" "Make no mistake, I want it all." "Now that we have something in common, think of the possibilities." "Oh, no, no, no." "All right." "For now." " Hello?" " Kirby, is that you?" "Yes, it's me, Alexis." "You sound out of breath." "Have you been exercising?" "I have been exercising." "What is it?" "I want to talk about us, Kirby." "Now, I know that we've had our differences in the past but that's exactly what ít ís, the past." "Now, in the future, your going to be my daughter-in-law." "Mike, it hurts." "We're going to be related, as it were." "is that why you called?" "Well, not exactly." "I thought that you and I should get to know each other better." "I think I know you quite well, Alexis." "Just the tip of the iceberg, Kirby." "Now, why don't you and I have a little lunch together later on in my apartment?" "I don't think so." "I'm still feeling a bit wobbly." "You just relax." "I shall send my car for you at 12:30, promptly." "Oh, you must be under a lot of tension, Mrs. Colby." "You've got some deep knots in your neck." "Not for long, Mike." "Not for long." " Good morning, Mrs. Carrington." " Good morning." "Sharon, these are the napkin rings I ordered." "I'll take care of them as soon as breakfast is cleared." "Thank you." " Good morning." " Good morning." "Good morning, Sharon." "I'll get some hot coffee." "Oh, my God." "Where did that come from?" "Claudia, these are napkin rings sent to me." "Look, they're not violets." "These are napkin rings." "Oh, Kystle, I know you thought I was over that, and I did too." "But today's not just any day, it's Matthew's and my wedding anniversay." "And I can't help thinking, that there's somebody out there that knows all about Matthew and me." "Somebody who's tying so hard to destroy my peace of mind." "I'm sure you won't have to be doing this for long, Mrs. Colby, but we've gotta keep that muscle tone in your legs." "Okay." " Hi." " Hi." "Kevin, why don't you take a break?" "Ask Mrs. Gunnerson to fix you something to eat, you must be hungy." "I am, but you keep peddling." "And you can increase the speed by turning this dial here in the back, or switch it off completely by hitting that switch, okay?" "I'll be all right." " How am I doing?" " Hey, you're doing great." "Really." "Cheating already?" "Speaking of cheating, why aren't you at work?" "Well, as a lady executive yourself, you know that work follows you wherever you go." "Even when you're spying on me in the gym?" "Fallon." "You've been following me around for the last few days like a worywart." "Well, I am worried." "I think you should ty Blake's suggestion and see a psychiatrist." "Oh, come on, there's nothing wrong with my head." "I know where l am, I know what time of day it is, I can still recognise my friends." "What I can't do is move my legs." "But there's a solution to that now, all I have to do is turn on a switch and this electric bike will take me from here to California." "See?" "Wait till you see these, Mr. Carrington." "What have you got, Tracy?" "Proofs." "Proof-positive that you are the most photogenic chairman the party has ever had." "Look at these." " There's that one." " Yes." "Yes, they're all right, aren't they?" "I must say you were vey helpful at that photo session." " l appreciate it." " Oh, my pleasure." "These transparencies are great, see?" " He has someone with him." " Yes, Marcia, I understand that." "I'm sory for the interruption." "You are interrupting, Dexter." "I'm sory, Mr. Carrington, he said he had an appointment but he wouldn't wait until I cleared it with you." "It's all right." "Thank you, Marcia." "Mr. Carrington, this can wait till later." "All right, what's this all about?" "I'm busy, I don't have time for games." "You've been playing one with Alexis." "Now it's gone too far." "Now, who the devil are you to tell me how to conduct my personal affairs?" "When they're no longer personal and they start affecting me." "Now, you signed a deal with Oscar Stone to refine his part of Valley Oil." "That's right, I did." "This says the deal's cancelled." "You can't cancel a contract as if it never existed." "Dexter, the first time I met you I called you "young man."" "And you told me that you had as much experience and as much knowledge as the big boys." "Well, welcome to the big time." "You signed a valid document with Oscar Stone." "With Oscar Stone personally, not his company." "Denver-Carrington made a deal to refine his oil." "That's got nothing to do with your Lex-Dex Corporation." "Come on, Blake, no matter how you disguise it you're still playing games with your ex-wife." "I thought you were a businessman." "You listen to me and you listen well, because I'm not gonna repeat myself." "You are no longer a schoolboy." "When you make a move, you better be willing to take the consequences." "Look, Blake, I don't have to" "When you came on Denver-Carrington's board with your father's proy, I asked one thing of you, loyalty." "And you made deals with the competition." "So you're no longer a part of Denver-Carrington, you're part of Colbyco." "You chose your partner, Dexter." "Now, you and your partner get somebody else to refine your oil." "Mrs. Colby." "Come in." " It's nice to see you." " It's nice to see you." " It's Kirby, all right?" " Sure." " Where's Alexis?" " She'll be down in a minute." " Can I offer you a drink before lunch?" " Oh, no, thank you." "Mark, the table is set for two." "Don't you have an appointment at the muscle factoy or somewhere equally intellectual?" "Hello, Kirby." "You know where to reach me if you need me." "George, these are Cornish game hen, I ordered quail." "I'm sory, I'll have the kitchen take care of it at once." "Yes, please do." "So while we have to wait, why don't we get outrageously healthy on these?" "Oh, no, thank you." "I think that we ought to get to know each other a little better." "I think we know each other quite well, Alexis." "I wonder." "Do you really know that I happen to have a great deal of respect for you?" "No, that hadn't crossed my mind recently." "There, you see?" "We do have things to learn about each other." "I think you are a vey bright young woman, Kirby." "Thank you." "Come and sit down." "Your father was a vey perceptive man." "He realised the value of a good education." "Four years at the Sorbonne does not come cheaply." "Oh, I know." "And you proved the value of that education when you worked as an interpreter for Adam at Colbyco." "And your value to my company did not go unnoticed by me." "Are we going to talk about us, Alexis, or about Colbyco?" "Well, both, actually." "You see, a position has just become available in Paris, for which I think you are eminently suitable." " l have no intention" " Now, hear me out." "With that position goes the use of my apartment on the Avenue Foch, a car, and a chauffeur, and a vey substantial salay." "And lust think, more importantly, you'll be in Paris where you want to be." "I'd be where you want me to be." " Kirby, I am offering you" " A bribe." ""Stay away from my son, Kirby, and I'll make it worth your while."" "And I will." "No sale, Alexis." "I was raped right here in this room by your son." "Did you know that?" "Now you're tying to do the same thing." "I have news for you, lady." "I may have lost a child, a Carrington baby, but I promise you, my next one will also be a Carrington." "We're out of your reach, Kirby." "You don't belong." "I've made up my mind to belong wherever I say I belong." "Before you make your transition, I think there's something you should know about your past." "What are you talking about?" "You think that simply by marying Adam and having a child that you can create a Carrington?" "Well, check your own bloodline, Kirby, because if I were you, with your background, I'd adopt a child." "My father was lust as good as anyone in this family." "Who's talking about your father?" "I'm talking about your mother." "My mother died when I was a baby." "You may wish that she had, but I can assure you that she is alive." "She is very much alive." "I don't wanna hear any more of this." "Your father had to live with the truth, so why shouldn't you?" "She ran away, Kirby, when you were 2 years old." "She ran off with her lover." "And when he didn't satisfy her anymore, she killed him." "No." "Your father should have had the courage to tell you himself, instead of blaming me with that letter from the grave." "Your mother's in prison." "No, I don't believe you." "And not lust an ordinay iail, it's a prison for the criminally insane." "You're a liar." "A liar." "Read this." "Am I a liar?" "Or am I lust a mother who's protecting her son?" "Read it, Kirby." " Excuse me, miss, is this spot taken?" " What are you doing?" "Oh, it's a beautiful day, a nice spot, no ants and a beautiful girl, what more is there in life?" " Would you do the honours, please?" " Pleasure, Mr. Colby." " Are you crazy?" " No, I'm hungy." "And I hope you are too, because I think Mrs. Gunnerson packed enough food for five people." "Did you leave your office to come over here and have a picnic with me?" "No, I couldn't think of anyone else I'd rather spend the afternoon with." "Or have in my arms." "You know something?" "You're the only person who doesn't hover over me." "Worying if this is the day I'll walk or if this is the day I'll come out of my shell." "Oh, you'll come out of your shell when you're ready." "As far as walking..." "Look, I love you whether you're walking or running, or here in my arms." "Come on." "There we go." "Would you like a little wine?" "1981." "It was a terrific year." " Here you go." " Thanks." "Eveybody says I should see a shrink." "Eveybody thinks I'm losing my mind." "If they knew the truth, I lost it the day I met Peter." "Look, look, look, we don't have to talk about him, that's all in the past." "Yeah, he is." "But what about me?" "I mean, look at me." "I am looking at you, and I like what I see." "You see what you wanna see." "Inside me there's a real brat sometimes." "Tell me to go left and I'll go right." "Tell me to eat and I'll starve." " Tell me to be careful, I'll fall in love" " Fallon, no." "What he did has nothing to do with you." "Love is blind, we both know that." "But he lost, not you." "Now, when you're ready to love again, you will." "And when you're ready to walk, you'll walk." " Steven, what a nice surprise." " Skip the "nice," Adam." "Where is it?" "Now, why that tone?" "I thought you and I were friends?" "My friends don't steal from me." "When you left, cleaned out your desk, I think you cleaned out mine too." "You'll have to excuse me, Steven, but I have something else on my mind." "The China Sea evaluation report, the one I prepared, I've been looking for it all morning." "I have a feeling I would have found it hours ago if I had looked in here." "Now, what would I want with that report?" " That's old news." " Old news?" "That's vey hot news, and I think you know that." "Just as I think you're holding onto my work." "Your work?" "Let me tell you something, Steven." "You wouldn't be handling the research if I hadn't started the project." "If I hadn't talked to those people in Colorado Springs and gotten them interested in the possibilities of the project." " Is that it?" " No, it's not." "If you can't keep track of your own files, that's your problem." "But don't you ever come in here accusing me of stealing something that was legitimately mine in the first place." "Now, why don't you trot on back to Colbyco and see if you can find where you put that file?" "One of these days, Adam, you're gonna find yourself right where you belong." "Out in the street." "Vey impressive report." "As a matter of fact, that's a combination of research done by Steven and me." "But what's important, Father, is that I initiated this entire project." "And that's why I feel I have the right to hand it to you." "I knew the Far East was ready to open up." "Hong Kong's buzzing with activity, Father." "If Denver-Carrington moves fast, if we're the first to make a bid on those oil leases, the competition will never know what hit them." "All right, then." "Let's make sure we are the first." " Marcia?" " Yes, Mr. Carríngton?" "I know the circuits are busy this time of day but get a call through to our office in Hong Kong and track down Earl Cunningham." "You like that, little guy?" "Oh, it's a nice one, isn't it?" "You know, I had a truck like this when I was a kid." "Yeah." "Well, look who we have here." "Are you gonna tell your mother what you just told me?" "Another man-to-man talk, huh?" "Mr. Colby, there's a telephone call for you." "Thank you, Gerard." "I'll be right there." "Go ahead, I'll watch the baby." "Go on." "Besides, we have some gossip to catch up on." " l'll be right back." " Don't we?" "So you got a new truck here, huh?" "Let me see." "Here." "How's it work?" "Blake." "Blake, don't go there." "Blake." "Blake, no, come back here." "Blake." "Blake, come back here!" "Don't go" " Blake!" "Oh, my God." "Blake, come here!" "Blake!" "Oh, you can walk, Fallon." " What?" " You can walk." "You can." "My God." "Where did you get this, Kirby?" "Where do you think?" "Alexis." "Blake, is it true?" "is my mother alive?" "She had no right to show you this." "Please?" "Is it true?" "All I know is what your father told me a couple of years ago when you came back from Paris." "He said that your mother was still institutionalised." "He never wanted you to know about this." "He lied to me." "He told me she was dead." "In a way, she is." "Oh, Kirby." "What's important is the family you have now." "You're going to mary Adam." "You're going to become a part of our family." "Tonight, our family's having a celebration." "Please come." "The celebration won't be complete without you, Kirby." "This crown roast will be served to Miss Fallon's taste." "Rare." "Vey rare." "She's liked it like that ever since she was a child." "Asparagus." "With hollandaise?" "And tiny new potatoes with sour cream and caviar." "Oh, and chocolate mousse." "All Miss Fallon's favourite dishes." "Perfect." "Oh, and it must be perfect, Mrs. Gunnerson." "Tonight is a celebration of a miracle." "Don't wory, Mrs. Carrington, tonight the kitchen will perform its own miracle." " Thank you." " All right." "Nope, thanks." "Are you tired?" "Look at him." "Who could that be?" "Oh, my goodness." " Here's Fallon." " Fallon." " Beautiful." " That's wonderful." "Congratulations." "Beautiful." " l know." " l can't tell you how overjoyed I am." " Congratulations." " Thank you." "It's so wonderful." "A moment please, eveyone." "I've been tying to think of something appropriate to say but I'm not sure that anything is appropriate at a time like this, Fallon." "All I can say is that before me sits a young woman who has been a handful all her life." "She's contradictoy in temperament." "Defiant and determined, tough enough to stand on her own two feet, yet sensitive enough to feel deeply some of life's pain." "And then have the courage to leave that pain behind and move forward from it." "I salute you, Fallon." "And I'm proud to love you." " Hear, hear." " To Fallon." "To Fallon." "Well..." "Hi, Dex." "You're not dressed." "The curtain goes up in a little less than half an hour." "I've decided not to go, Dex." "It's gonna be a mediocre evening in the theatre." "And besides, I've got a little bit of a headache." "And maybe, just maybe, you're headed for more than slight hangover in the morning." "Have you been drinking, Alexis?" "Oh, yes, I have, Mr. Dexter." "A little too much, Alexis?" "Oh, no, Mr. Dexter, a lot too much." "All right, Iet's talk about what's happening." "No, I don't want to indulge in self-pity and poor little me." "I think you should talk about it." "Your daughter can walk, you're ecstatic about that." "They're undoubtedly celebrating at the house tonight, you're vey hurt because you weren't invited." "Well, you shouldn't be all that surprised." "Neither Blake nor Kystle wants you even near that house." "It's not them, it's her." "It's Fallon." "Go on." "I told you that I didn't want to talk about it and I'm not going to." "I'm sory, I'm so rude, I didn't offer you a drink." "Won't you join me in my next round?" "Alexis, have you phoned Fallon?" "Yes, I tried on her private line but it was busy." "Why don't you ty again now?" "For God's sakes, Alexis, we're talking about your daughter." "If the two of you can't get together now, when is it going to happen?" "The sad answer is probably never." "You see, we've never been really close." "Maybe it's because we're lust too alike in so many ways." "We've tried." "She's tried, so have I, but it never lasted." "Maybe we didn't ty hard enough." "That's honest." "Yes." "Not getting me anywhere with her, is it?" "Alexis, phone her." "Talk to her." "Forget what's happened between you." "And tell her that this is a special night." "And that you're happy for her." "And that I love her?" "Yes." "I do." "Then tell her, damn it." "I can't." "I can't." "Oh, Dex, hold me." "Hold me close like you've never held me before." "Please." "Oh, please, Dex." "Oh, Dex, please." "And now" "Excuse me, Mrs. Carrington, this was left at the gate by messenger." "It was addressed to you." "Thank you, Gerard." "My God." "Excuse me." "Excuse me." " He's checking on her." " Yeah." "Claudia, what is it?" "Look at this." "You were younger, but I'll take you the way you are." "Steven, Matthew took this picture of me on our first anniversay." "Claudia, I'm sory, I didn't mean anything." "Eveybody says that Matthew is dead, and Lindsay is dead, but what about the flowers, and the pet name and now this?" "I don't have the answer." "But we both know that Matthew and Lindsay died in that jungle in Peru." "Look, whoever is doing this to you, I'll find him." "And I'll find out why." "You're safe with me here." "It's gonna be all right." "I'm scared, Steven." "I know. I know." "But being alone isn't the answer." "Let's go back to the party." " And in the morning, this will all" " You go." "Go on. I'll be all right." "You sure?" "I just wanna freshen up a bit." "I'll be down." "I love you, Claudia." "I love you too, Steven." "Hello." "I know that you have direct flights to Mexico City from Denver, but do you have any connecting flights to South America?" "Yes, specifically to Lima, Peru."
