"Now, don't you worry about a thing, Daddy." "I'm watching after Ewing interests." "If there's anything I ought to know about  give me a call, you hear?" "I surely will, but nothing's going on you should know about." "Well, I'll drink to that." "And to J.R. and longer and more trips." "How can you be six weeks pregnant?" "Are you trying to tell me, J. R that you may not be the father of our baby?" " You tell me." " I've been as faithful to our marriage vows as you have." "You seem to be getting up earlier every day, Jock." "Well, it just does me a lot of good to do a little horsebacking now and then." "Thanks." "Besides, it..." "Well, it gives me a good feel of the ranch." "My father was an early person." "He said the ranch was always at its best in the morning." "Well, I don't know about that but one thing's for sure, I do like it peaceful." " Morning, Mama, Daddy." " Morning, Bobby." " Coffee, Bobby?" " No, thank you." " Where you going?" " I gotta be in Austin by noon." "When I show Joe Morris those plans..." "The plans." "I forgot the plans." "Wait a minute." "Bobby." "Thought you could use these." "Thank you, darling." "Bye, everybody." "See you later." "I think those days where all I had to do was sit and drink coffee weren't bad." " That's what you get for taking a job in the first place." " Well, I love my job." "When Bobby and I leave at the same time, it's rushed." " You're awfully early this morning, Pam." " Big sale at the store." "They want all the cheap help in early for inventory." "That means me." "That doesn't make any sense, Sue Ellen, at all!" "Now, Lucy, I told you that I didn't mind." "I don't care if you do mind." "I can drive just as well as anyone in this family and I think it's dumb I don't have my own car." " Morning, Granddaddy." " Morning, sweetheart." " How's your knee?" " It still hurts." "If I had a car, I wouldn't walk on it." "J.R.'s gonna get you a car as soon as he feels you're ready for it." "I don't see why it's up to J.R." "Don't you think I should have a car, Granddaddy?" "You leave him out of this, young lady." "He spoils you rotten as it is." "Well, then I'm gonna go talk to J.R. about it right now." "No, no." "Not this morning, Lucy." "Your uncle's a trifle under the weather." "Oh, did he tie one on again last night?" "Must be a terrible strain on you, Sue Ellen." "I don't think you're showing your uncle the proper respect." "Right." "Well, come on." "If we're gonna go, let's go." "Which side of the family do you think Lucy takes after, huh?" "Well, a little of both, I guess but leaning toward the Ewings." "Well, that ain't all bad." "Is it?" "I'm awfully sorry." "Mrs. Ewing, how nice to see you." " Do you have a table for three?" " Certainly." "Right this way." "Being a Ewing does have certain advantages." "I'll be there in just a minute, okay?" "Clifford." " My, aren't you moving up in the world." " Pam." "You better not let anybody see you here." "They'll wonder what you've been doing with those campaign contributions." "How is it when you take me to lunch all I get is a soda and a taco?" "Well, I didn't think I had to impress you." "Besides, I wasn't aware they let common shop girls in here." "You're losing your touch." "I can remember the time when you loved common shop girls." "Yeah, whenever possible." "I think I've been stood up." "So since I'm here, you want to have lunch with me?" "Well, it is your lucky day." "I'm here with a couple girls from the store." " Can I have a rain check?" " Sure." "Good." " Well, I'll see you soon." " Okay." "Bye-bye." " Pamela." " Sue Ellen, hi." "I didn't know you were coming into town today." "Last-minute plans." "You wanna have lunch with me?" "I'm here with a couple of friends from the store." "How nice, but I've just finished." "Perhaps some other time, dear." "Okay." "Oh, Sue Ellen, you know my brother, Cliff?" " We've met." " Mrs. Ewing, always a pleasure." "I'm sure." "Well, you have a pleasant lunch, now, Pamela." "Mr. Barnes." "Bye." "She's really warm, isn't she?" "She doesn't seem too partial to us Barneses." " I wish you'd remember." " What?" "I'm a Ewing now." "They're good, Bobby." " I think we can do business with those." " You tell me when." "Soon, but first I think I've got something that'll interest you more." " Such as?" " Hear of Farraday, Marshal and Mathis?" " No, I can't say as I have." " Well, they operate out of Boston." "Cover some diverse things like mutual funds, insurance, investments." " Sounds like old-time money." " Exactly." "And after 200 years, they're expanding." "Seems they finally heard that there is a United States beyond Philadelphia." "So they're gonna build a southwestern branch." "Well, where better than Dallas?" "Yeah, on some of that prime Ewing land you got scattered around." " When do we meet them?" " The week after next." "That's the 17th." "Seventeenth." "Tell you what, let's invite them out to Southfork." " Impress them with a big Texas party." " All right." "If Southfork Ranch can't convince them they're dealing with a substantial pillar of the community I don't know what will." " I'll make arrangements." "Pam!" "Wait up." " Hi." " Hi." " Well, how's it going?" " Terrific." "I got straight A's in markdowns today." "Not quite the glamour job you had in mind?" "I wasn't gonna start at the top." "I didn't think I'd have to look up to see a bottom." " Good things are on the way." " Such as?" " I'll let you know when the time's right." "See you tomorrow." "Let's eat." "Did you happen to pick up that suit?" " Two hours." " I had to go in to have lunch, anyway." "Did you dig up a tie?" "I needed that tie." "Yeah, I got a great tie." "It's black, got a red stripe." " You're just gonna love it." " And what about...?" "I had them do cuff links for me." "I don't know..." "I hope you don't have longer hours." " I'll get them tomorrow." " Brother?" " Bobby, I need a favor of you." " What's that, J.R.?" "Since you've been in the field with your construction company I don't know if you're aware, but we got important lobbying in Washington." " As busy as I am, I do remember that." " Good, good." "You won't mind holding down the office while I fly there for a few days." " You going to Washington, J.R.?" " Yeah, tomorrow morning." "See that things work the way we want." "J.R., I've got about seven different things going on now." "But that's just sideline, Bobby." "The number one company around here is Ewing Oil." "There are meetings I have to be at." " Well, have the meetings at the office." " Hold it." "Hell, I started that company and ran it for many years." "I think I can take care of it for a couple of days." " You think that's wise, Jock?" " I'm not digging ditches, Miss Ellie." "I'll just be sitting in the office." "Daddy, I can arrange to have my meetings at the office." "That's all right, Bobby." "Do me good." "Fine, fine, then it's settled, now." "I know I can leave the office in good hands." " What time's your flight, J.R.?" " Eleven-thirty." "Maybe I could take you to the airport." "No, I'll have my secretary do that, darling." "Oh, don't be silly." "I'd love to." "We haven't had time together to talk and get to know each other again." "Let's do it." "All right." "So be it." "Hello." "I know." "He just fell asleep." "Of course." "He's going away for a few days." "Of course I'm sure." "I'm taking him to the airport myself." "Make sure he gets on that airplane." "My secretary will know where to get a hold of me." "Thanks for the ride, darling." " Have a good flight." " I always do." "Good morning." " Morning, darling." " Good morning, Mr. Ewing." " Nice to see you on our flight again." " Thank you." "Thank you." "We are gonna have a wonderful Washington flight." "I'm looking forward to it." "Just wait till you look back on it." " Good morning." "Ewing Oil." " Hi." "Anybody need me?" " Mr. Cooper at the bank called." " I'll call him back." "I'm sorry, Mr. J.R. Ewing isn't in this morning." " Plumbing contractor will call back." " Okay." " Mr. Thomas from the Plumbers Union." " Mr. Ewing Sr.'s here." "Mr. Joe Morris from Austin said it was very important that he speak to you." "Okay." "Is my daddy here?" " Yes, sir." " Okay, call Joe Morris." "I want to talk to him." "I'll take it in J.R.'s office." "How's it going?" "I don't know why J.R. made such a fuss about somebody being here." "Nobody wants to talk to anybody but him." "I might as well have stayed home." "I told you before, he keeps things to himself around here." "Only one he lets me talk to is my secretary." "That's probably for me." "Hello." " Bobby." " Yeah, Joe, this is Bobby." "Good morning." " I got some good news for you." " What?" "That old-line eastern money?" "Yeah, I just talked to Harrison Farraday himself." " Is he important?" " Only the Farraday of Farraday, et cetera, et cetera." "Well, I am impressed." "The question is, is he coming out?" "Well, I invited him to the party." "A little pleasure, a little business, let him see what Dallas is all about." "Especially Southfork." "And he and Mrs. Farraday are coming out to the party along with some more of his decision-makers." "Said he was very anxious to meet you, especially Pam." "Pamela?" " What's Pamela got to do with this?" " You know these old-line conservatives." "He places just as much importance on a man's personal life as he does on his professional." " I think half the battle's gonna be Pam." " Then start celebrating, buddy." "If that deal depends on Pamela, we got that contract in our back pocket." " I'm counting on you, Bobby." " Couldn't be safer." " I'll see you next week." " Okay, fine." "Bye." " Daddy." " Yep?" "You know that property you bought up off Gringle Avenue?" "The only thing I remember about it, it turned out dry as dust." "Well, I think we might have just struck oil." "I bought you a little present." "Though you may not remember it's been six weeks ago tonight that I..." "Well, that we first came up here." "And I would like to propose a toast to J.R. Ewing for giving me one of the nicest things he's ever given me." "Which is?" "Going off to Washington to do whatever it is he pretends to do and leaving us alone for two days." "Well, I'll drink to that." "And to J.R. and longer and more trips." "Bobby!" "Oh, cut it out!" "Come on." "I missed you by that much." "I don't know if I like you this happy." "Happy?" "Why should I be happy, darling?" "I just have a shot at the biggest deal of my entire life." "Well, good for you." "Bobby, I've got an hour to get to work." "My hair's soaking wet." "Anyway, I'm as nervous as a cat." "Your hair was wet before I ever jumped in." "What are you nervous about?" "You just hold my entire career in your hands." " Bobby, don't tease me about that." " All right, come on." "It's not all that important." "It's just a party." " What's tough about that?" " Everything." "I don't know the first thing about planning a party." "Why don't you ask Sue Ellen." "She's queen of the party-givers." "Now, that's a good idea." " Yeah, if anybody knows, Sue Ellen will." " All right." "Problem's solved." " But your hair's wet." " Thanks to you." "I'm going in." "Repair the damage you have wrought." "It's not always easy being a Ewing." "I told them I'm having dinner with an old friend." "Lake Bachman, 4:00." "I'll bring a little lunch and maybe some wine." "You've got to eat sometime, Cliff." "Okay, see you there." "Yes, I'll tell Mr. Ewing that you called." "Yes, he'll be happy to hear that." "Thank you." "Bye." " Sue Ellen." " Yes?" " Sue Ellen, I have to talk to you." " Well, I was just on my way out." " Are you going into Dallas?" " Yes." "Well, let's have lunch." "I need to talk to you." " I have several things I have to do today." " Oh, I know." "But I think it's important that we talk." " Well, can't we talk here?" " No, no." "I'm running late." "I've got to get to work." "Why don't we have lunch." "Okay, 1:00 and Casa Madrid?" " One o'clock." " Good." "Bye, Sue Ellen." "Good morning, Ewing Oil." "No, I'm sorry." "Mr. Ewing isn't in right now." "Yes, sir." "Yes, we expect him back shortly." "Good morning, Ewing Oil." "Good morning, Mr. Aames." "No, he's not back yet." "Yes, sir." " When he calls in I'll tell him you called." " Good morning, Ewing Oil." " No, sir, he's not in." " Any reports I ought to catch up on?" "I think you've read them all, Mr. Ewing." "Anybody call me while I was talking to Punk Anderson?" "No, sir." "He was the only call." "Would you like me to make you a lunch reservation somewhere?" "Well, I guess so." "Call the Cattlemen's Club, and tell them I'll be right over." "And if I happen to get any calls, you can reach me there." "Yes, sir." "Right this way, Mrs. Ewing." "Oh, there she is." "Thank you." "Hi." "Sorry I'm late." "I'm so glad you waited." "Well, you know, Pamela, I had a million things to do today." "I know." "I appreciate your meeting me here." " Well, it sounded so terribly important." " It is." "Sue Ellen, I need your help." "My help?" "About what?" "You've never asked me about anything before." "I know." "Bobby's gonna have this big party at Southfork on the 17th and I just don't know the first thing about handling that kind of big affair." "You don't mean to tell me that you have brought me in to lunch with you to talk about having a party?" "Yes." "Well, well, Pamela." "I think that's just a little ridiculous." "Why didn't you mention this at the house?" "I thought this was terribly important." "Well, I want to talk to you privately, and this is very important to Bobby." "Well, I didn't know that." "I get the feeling you expected to talk about something else." " What was it?" " Well, don't be so absurd." "How did I know what you wanted to talk about?" "Sure." "I'll help you with the party." "The only thing I can do is introduce you to the caterers, and just talk to him." "And he'll be able to help you out with all those details." "Thank you." "I really appreciate this." "I'm sorry if I inconvenienced you today." "Tell you what." "Let's order." "I'm buying lunch." "Pamela, would you mind terribly if I skipped lunch?" "I haven't been feeling too well lately." "The sight of food makes me a little queasy." "Excuse me." "Bye." "Everything going all right back there, J.R.?" "Haven't talked to you all day." "I like to know what's going on." "Well, sir, you know how it is." "Just trying to keep everybody entertained best I can." "Well, just keep spreading the B's, boy." "Yes, sir." "Booty, booze and broads." "First thing you taught me a good lobbyist likes." "Now, don't you worry about a thing, Daddy." " I'm watching after the Ewing interests." " All right." "Well, if there's anything I ought to know about give me a call, you hear?" "I surely will, but nothing's going on you should know about." "Give my best to Mama and Sue Ellen." "Yeah, I'll do that." "Well, what have we here?" "So, what's J.R. up to in Washington this time?" " Same as usual, I imagine." " That's an interesting answer." "You know, you keep talking about it, and I keep trying to answer you." "Why do you keep talking about J.R.?" "I know nothing about his business." "Well, what if you did?" "Is that why you're seeing me, Cliff?" "To find out more about J.R.?" "No, I'll tell you, I just find him an interesting guy." "I just like to know what makes him tick." "Well, if I wanted to talk about J.R., I could have just stayed home." " Talk to me about other things." " Like cabbages and kings." " Yeah." " And..." "And the birds and the bees." "Why did you do that?" "Because it was free." "You can see you're not with one of the all-time big spenders now." "You Barneses are disgustingly poor." "Listen, you know, if it's not my money then what is my fatal charm?" "Maybe it's because J.R. dislikes you so much." "And what you're saying is that you're with me because it would hurt him the most if he found out." "Isn't that funny?" "I wonder if that's it." "You know, I'm just so tired of J. R getting everything he wants, always winning." "So you picked me, the loser." "Well, I've got to tell you something." "I've been beaten before, but I have never lost." " Understand the difference?" " Yes." "Well, I could never settle for a loser." "That's why I'm with you instead of somewhere else." "I have somewhere else in mind, if you have the time." "Well, I thought you'd never ask." " Yes?" " Mrs. Ewing is here." "Oh, ask her to come right in." " Hi." " Oh, come in." "Sit down." "I heard that I was summoned." "What did I do wrong?" "Nothing." "Not a thing." "As a matter of fact we are about to elevate you from your humble station." " You're kidding." " Not I." "From now on, you'll be moving only in the best circles." " Such as?" " Got a passport?" "Sure I've got a..." "A passport?" "You can't get into France without one." "You and I are going to Paris." "Oh, Liz." "That's wonderful." " Paris." " That's where the fashion shows are." "That's where we buyers buy." " We buyers?" " Oh, Pam, look, you are bright." "You've got good taste in clothes, a great sense of style, of what's right." "So I thought it was about time you learned a trade." "Thank you so much." "I can't tell you how much I've wanted this, Liz." "Thank you." "You're giving me such a chance." "I forgot." "Paris." "Bobby won't like it?" "I'm not sure he'll think it's part of the bargain." "Renegotiate." "This is the chance of a lifetime." "Oh, I will." "I mean, I'm sure he'll understand." "I'll tell him tonight, but how am I ever gonna thank you?" " Well, thank me by going." " Oh, I sure will." "If you're gonna tell him, don't you think you ought to tell him when you're going?" "That's a good point." "When?" "We're leaving the night of the 15th." "We'll be back within a week." "Well, that would put me in Paris on the 17th." "Yeah." "Is that bad?" "I don't know." "Oh, I hope not." "This family's falling apart." "Take a look at that." " It's falling apart." " Jock, there's nothing wrong with Lucy spending the night with a friend." " Which one?" " Muriel Gillis." "Muriel?" "I didn't know anybody still called kids Muriel." "Well, they do, and she happens to be a very nice, quiet girl." " What's she doing with Lucy?" " Now, that's enough of that." " Just a feeble attempt at humor, Mother." " What about Sue Ellen?" "She called." "She met some friends in town." "She's staying over for dinner." "She'll be home later." "There was a time when we all sat down and enjoyed dinner together as a family." "Now they're scattered in different directions." "Daddy, Lucy's grown-up now." "We all have jobs we have to do." "Sometimes you have to travel for business." "Not that you want to, just have to." "Well, I know when I'm outnumbered." "Miss Ellie..." "Damned if I can believe it." "Why don't you and I skip dessert take a stroll around the ranch." "Beautiful night." "Why, Jock, that would be nice." " Bobby?" "Pam?" " No, thanks." "I think I'll have some coffee." "Well, you were awfully quiet during dinner." "Oh, I know." "Something you want to talk about?" "Yeah." "Let's go in the other room, though." "Okay." " Well, darling, what's the matter?" " Well, it's the party." " The party?" "Didn't you talk to Sue Ellen?" " Yeah, yeah." " She gave me the name of the caterer." " Everything should be fine, isn't it?" "Bobby, the 17th is so soon." "I mean, there's so much to do." "I don't even..." "Yes, please." "I don't even know if I have the right dress to wear." "I'm sure you can use your employee's discount card at the store and find something to throw on." "Bobby, couldn't we push the party off a couple of weeks?" "Then everything would be perfect." "Honey, I didn't pick the 17th." "Now, that's when that Farraday character is gonna be out here." "If I don't get him to the ranch, I don't know when I'll get him back." "And he wants to build now." "Well, then it's now or never for you." "For me?" "For us, darling." "I told you you're just as important to starting this deal as I am." "The 17th it is." "And cheer up." "It's just a party, not the end of the world." "Any quick guesses, doctor?" "I never guess, Sue Ellen." "But on the surface, I see no great cause for alarm." "Then why do I feel so strange?" "Could be any number of reasons." "But we'll know better when we get the results of the test." " How's Jock feeling?" " Stronger than ever." "That's good." "Just so he doesn't overdo." "You know, talking to that man is like talking to a wall." " You tell him I said that." " I will." "And you'll call me as soon as you get the results?" "First thing." "We should know this afternoon." "Oh, by the way, you better tell J. R that he's long overdue for his annual physical." " Okay, I will." "He'll be in soon." " All right, Sue Ellen." "That's good." "Yeah, I like that one." " Yes?" " There's a Mr. Bobby Ewing." " He wants to know if you can join him." " I'll be right there." "I'll be right back." "Bobby Ewing?" " I don't think we carry your size, Bobby." " Or anybody else I know." "You'd be surprised at the 5-foot-3 matrons who think that outfit was made just for them." " That's why I figured I need your help." " To do what?" " To find the right dress for Pamela." " Special occasion?" "I need something she can make a dynamite impression in." " She's got something special coming up." " I know." "You do?" "Oh, I guess you would, yeah." "Pam told me she was gonna talk to you." " I am so glad you agree she should go." " Well, why wouldn't I agree?" "Not every husband wants his wife going to Paris on such short notice as this." "Paris?" "When was she leaving?" "I totally forgot." "The 15th." "Bobby, you are terrific." "You really understand how important this is to Pam." "This is her first job as a buyer at the biggest fashion show of the year." "Liz, about that dress..." "If you're willing to foot the bill I have a little number that will guarantee to stop traffic wherever she goes." " Yeah, okay." "Fine." "But Muriel Gillis just got her second car." " Nobody here will even let me drive." " Lucy, we've been all through this." "Yeah, but we always end up the same way." "For once, I wish someone would really listen to what I want." "I don't know why you're so fired up, Lucy." "You've got plenty of people here can take you anyplace you want." "But what if I want to go by myself?" "Perhaps we all think it'd be better if someone else drove you." " Perhaps you don't even think." " Lucy, that's rude!" " Bobby, do you think it's fair?" " What, honey?" "Do you think it's fair I don't have my own car?" "To tell you the truth, I haven't thought about it at all." "See?" "But at least he admits it." " Hello." " Hi." " I love you." " I love you." "Well, which Mrs. Ewing did you want to speak to?" "Hold on a second." "Sue Ellen, it's for you." "Sue Ellen Ewing." "Oh, yes, doctor." "Well, that can't be." "Yes, I understand." "Thank you, doctor." "Sue Ellen, what's wrong?" "You all right?" "Yes." "Well, then what is it?" "Well, that was the doctor." "He said that I'm pregnant." "Pregnant?" "Pregnant?" "Well, how about that?" "I can't believe it, after all these years." "I just can't believe it." " That's wonderful, Sue Ellen!" " Oh, Sue Ellen, that's terrific." "Really." " Thank you, Lucy." " Congratulations, Sue Ellen." " You wanted this." " Thank you." "Sue Ellen I know how long you've wanted this." "I'm so happy for you." "I know you really mean that, Pamela." "Thank you." "J.R., this is your daddy." "Hang on a second." "Sue Ellen's got something to tell you." "Come on." " J.R.?" " Sue Ellen." "What are you doing calling me at work?" "Well, I have some important news for you." "All right, darling, go ahead." "I'm pregnant, J.R." "We're gonna have a baby." "A baby?" "J.R.?" "Oh, my, that's wonderful." " Are you truly happy?" " I am." "Oh, yes, I am." "It's too late to get a plane tonight." "I'll catch a flight first thing in the morning." "Now, you take care, Sue Ellen." "You hear?" "I hear." "I love you, J.R." "Take care." "I'll see you in the morning." "Say, what did Daddy say?" "Oh, he's truly happy." "Everyone's truly happy." "I'll see you tomorrow." "How about that, now." "Bobby?" "I'm sorry." "About what, hon?" "I know how happy it would've made you if I were the one that's pregnant." "I can wait for that." "Just thinking about J.R. and Sue Ellen." "After all these years." "Sue Ellen's wanted this for a long time." "And J.R." "Maybe now that J.R. knows he's gonna have the first baby we can stop being in such competition with one another." "He can relax and we can be brothers instead of sparring partners." "Maybe my taking the job worked out all the way around for everybody." "It'd be funny, wouldn't it?" "It really means a lot to you, doesn't it?" "Yes." "It does." "Oh, I don't know." "It makes me feel like I'm really doing something for myself." "It makes me feel good about me." "I don't know if I'll do it forever, Bobby but right now, next to you it's the most important thing in my life." "Well, that's good enough for me." "Hi." "Hi." "Didn't expect you to call me so early." "What's up?" "Cliff how do you feel about me?" "What a serious question so early in the morning." "The truth, Cliff." "Well, I think you're terrific." ""Terrific."" "I never thought of myself as being terrific." "Well, you should." "I guess that's how you always made me feel." "It's a perfect word for it." "Terrific." "And I felt that way until yesterday afternoon and then I suddenly felt different." "I felt sorry and ashamed." " Why?" "What happened?" "What changed?" "Is it J.R.?" "In a way." "In a funny sort of way." "I'm gonna have a baby." "You're gonna have a baby?" "You're pregnant?" "Very." "Well, I don't see what's so funny." "I just think you and J.R. have been married for seven years and not had a child." "I'm with you for six weeks, and you're pregnant." "Well, I don't think that's very funny." "And what makes you so damn sure that it's yours?" "Look, I'm just going on what you've told me between you and J.R." "But it isn't impossible." "J.R. and I are not total strangers." "Well, okay." "So there's a long shot." "And what if it is J.R.'s?" "I don't think that it matters." " Don't you?" " No." "Because no matter whose it is, you're not gonna leave J. R and Southfork and all that money for me." " I might have." " Oh, come on, Sue Ellen." "We've always been honest with one another." "At least in our fashion." "Then I've always known that no matter what you felt about me that it would never come down to really changing your life." "And now you're not only going to be J.R.'s wife but you're going to be the mother of the heir to the Ewing throne." "You understand that..." "That it's over between you and I." "For whatever it's worth I really do care about you." "And I'm truly glad for you." "Mama." " I'm so happy." " So am I." "Dad." "Damn, I'm proud of you, damn proud of you!" " Thank you." " I just can't believe it." "My oldest boy finally got himself a baby." "Well, that's all I could think of on the way home how happy you'd both be." "We are, J.R. It's wonderful for all of us." "Where's everybody?" "Where's Sue Ellen?" "Bobby and Pam aren't home, and Sue Ellen had to go into town to see the doctor." " Is she all right?" " Oh, she's fine." "Be back any time now." "Let's don't stand here." " I'll buy us a drink!" " All right, sir." " I'll get this old thing." " No." "Here." "Let me have that." " No." " Dad." " Hey, I bet you did real good down there." " Yeah." " Hi." " Oh, hi." "I'm sorry I'm late." " Did you see J.R.?" " Yes." "I haven't seen him that excited since they talked about deregulating natural gas." "Bobby, I want to talk to you for a minute." "There's something I want to tell you." "Well, there's something I want to give you first." "Oh, Bobby." "Bobby." "It's beautiful." "It's beautiful." "What's it for?" "I can't have my favorite lady go to Paris without something to wear." " You know?" " Yep." "Do you also know that you're the most wonderful...?" "Absolutely the most wonderful husband in the world?" "Yep." " Well, there's one thing you don't know." " Well, I find that very hard to believe." "That I'm gonna be wearing this dress but it's gonna be at our party." " What?" " I'm not going to Paris." "Honey." "I told Liz Craig that this job is very important to me." "But nothing in the world is more important than you and me." " And what did she say?" " Well she wasn't very happy." "But she said if she had a husband like you she wouldn't go, either." "Well, there's a lady that can pick quality husbands." "Well, this one's taken." "Darling?" "Thank you." "To you." "And the baby." "Thank you, darling." "Now, tell me, why'd you go to the doctor for the pregnancy test?" "Well, I didn't, exactly." "I wasn't feeling too well." "I thought I'd go see what was wrong." "And that was it?" "You're all right otherwise?" "I'm terrific." "Now, tell me everything." " How far along are you?" " About six weeks, near as we can tell." "Six weeks." "How about that?" "Six weeks." "That was right before Lucy's birthday, wasn't it?" "Around there." "Now, you sure it couldn't be longer than six weeks?" "Well, I don't think so." "Why?" "Well, I..." "I don't see how you can be six weeks pregnant." "Why, I don't understand." "Well, I do." "Seems it's been longer than that since you and I could've conceived a child." "And if I remember correctly, I was down in Austin for 10 days right about that time." "Yeah, it was that time." "I repeat, Sue Ellen, how can you be six weeks pregnant?" "Well, I know we don't practice our connubial rights with anything approaching regularity." "But you did come home from Austin for the weekend." "Is it possible that you don't remember?" "It happens so rarely, I thought it might make an impression." "No, there's something wrong here." "Something wrong." "Now, even if I did remember I think it's mighty peculiar that after seven years of trying you should get pregnant that particular night." " Stranger things have happened." " Not to me, they haven't." "Are you trying to tell me that you may not be the father of my child?" "You tell me." "There's nothing to tell." "I've been just as faithful to our marriage vows as you have." "That's the only thing that interests you, isn't it?" "That precious Ewing heir." "No matter whose it is." "Don't you ever do that again." " I'll do anything I want to." " Not anymore." "Because I finally have something you want our baby." ""Our baby"?" "Chances are, it's yours, J.R." "And if it isn't, what are you gonna do about it?" "How you gonna tell Daddy it isn't yours, it's somebody else's?" "What's he gonna think about you then?" "And what about the boys at the club?" "What are they gonna say?" "Guess you're just gonna have to learn to live with it." "Like I said, J. R chances are it's yours."
