Dallas s06e23 Episode Script

Saying “I'm sorry“ won't bring back $17 million.
I will get the Ewing Brothers out of my life.
All by myself.
If you want Bobby.
You better move fast while this contest for Ewing Oil is still on and I win.
Here's to winners.
Is that what our marriage is to you now.
A moment? You make me feel like I should give you a bill for services rendered.
I want you to know that my relationship with J.
R.
is not all his fault.
I wanted him more than I've ever wanted any other man.
- Good morning.
Mr.
Ewing.
- Teresa.
That's all I'll have, please.
I don't want anything else.
- Good morning.
Darling.
- Morning.
- You were certainly restless last night.
- Was I? - Thank you.
- You're welcome.
Don't you remember? J.
R.
.
what's the matter? You haven't heard a word I said.
Excuse me.
Darling.
I gotta make a phone call.
- Mclntyre residence.
- Hello.
Richard Mclntyre.
Please.
J.
R.
Ewing here.
- .
J.
R.
- Hello.
Richard.
How you doing? I'm just great.
J.
R.
It's been along time.
It has.
It has.
Too long.
Listen.
I'm gonna need your counsel and advice.
Well.
Anytime.
Any place.
Well, how about this morning, Ten o'clock.
I'll be there.
- Wonderful.
Looking forward to it.
- Goodbye.
Your attitude certainly has changed.
Do you think Bobby would like a nice big box of fine cigars for his birthday? - Ewing Oil.
- Phyllis, it's me.
Oh.
Good morning.
Bobby.
I'm running late.
Do you have any idea when Thornton McLeish's plane's gonna arrive? I just spoke with his secretary in Toronto.
He won't be able to see you till 7:00 tonight.
Not till then? All right.
Anything else? Yes.
Holly Harwood's been trying to reach you.
She's phoned several times.
Call her back.
I'll stop by on the way in.
- All right.
- Okay, bye.
Bye.
Hey.
Listen.
I survived three presidents.
- That's a record in the State Department.
- Yeah.
I'll bet it is.
But don't you miss the hustle and bustle of Washington DC? Being on the inside.
Knowing things are gonna happen before anybody else? Oh.
Yes.
Yes.
Kind of.
But I don't miss the political infighting.
I'm happy being retired back here in Dallas with all my good friends like you.
J.
R.
Well.
We're happy to have you, Richard.
Really are.
Now.
I know that you're a busy man.
You've got a lot more to do than just shoot the breeze.
So how can I be of help? Well.
I was thinking on taking Sue Ellen on a second honeymoon.
Maybe going down to Caribbean.
Bahamas are very pretty.
The Cayman Islands are very restful.
I thought I might stop there but I have a hankering to go to Cuba.
Cuba? A dyed-in-the-wool capitalist like you? Well.
That little country generates a lot of influence down in South America and Central America too.
You know.
You know.
A trip to Cuba could create a lot visibility for you.
Yeah.
I suppose it would.
Lots of talk about you running for the Senate the next election.
Say.
Listen.
Tell me.
How difficult is it to get into Cuba anyhow? Well.
Cubans can be unpredictable.
They usually don't allow traveling to Cuba except under special circumstances.
Maybe if we could somehow make the trip in the national interest somehow generate some enthusiasm in Washington and Havana.
You see? I might be able to arrange something like that.
I'm still very well-connected in the capital, J.
R.
So any way I can be of help Richard.
Why don't we get rid of this coffee I'll buy you a little bourbon and branch? - What do you say? - That's lovely.
- Where is it? Just lead me to it.
- Right over here.
- Miss Harwood, Bobby Ewing is here.
- Send him in.
- Hello.
Holly.
- Close the door, please.
I don't want the whole office to hear this.
You don't want the whole office to hear what? I wanted to tell you in person.
Bobby that you have cost my company $17 million.
What? The single biggest loss this company has sustained since my daddy opened doors for business.
- Holly.
What are you talking about? - You know exactly what I'm talking about.
Wait a minute.
$17 million? Did you go in on that deal with J.
R.
after we talked and I advised you not to? Holly.
That was an illegal deal.
You could have been slapped with a fine or a jail sentence.
That was a small detail J.
R.
left out until it was too late.
But he also told me that you had to play James Bond prevent the deal from going through.
Holly.
I warned you.
I warned you to stay out of it.
I had no choice.
Bobby.
J.
R.
would have shut me down otherwise.
Well.
You can't hold me responsible for that.
All I know is that if it hadn't been for the Ewing brothers I wouldn't have a half million barrels of oil sitting in Cuba right now.
Unpaid for.
A loss that I can't even write off as a tax deduction.
Holly.
I swear to you.
I didn't know you were involved in it.
If you had, would it have made any difference? I don't know.
It's a real old-fashioned Western shootout between you and J.
R.
.
isn't it? And I've been caught in the crossfire.
Holly.
I don't know what to do.
Saying “I'm sorry“ won't bring back $17 million.
You know something? That is one hell of a loss.
But I think Holly Harwood will survive it.
But what I won't survive is having the Ewing brothers run my life and my company.
My daddy used to say that when it comes right down to it there's only one person you can count on.
Yourself.
Just think things through carefully and do what has to be done, yourself.
Well.
Now I'm going to start listening to my daddy.
I will get the Ewing brothers out of my life.
All by myself.
J.
R.
.
this is a lovely home.
I was thinking.
While you were showing me around that maybe we should do our next show from here like Edward R.
Murrow used to do on Person ta Person.
I think that's a wonderful idea.
Hell.
I don't know.
Roy.
It's a good idea but family frictions are running high over the Ewing Oil situation right now.
I think it'd be better if we did it at the studio really.
- Clayton.
- Sue Ellen.
- J.
R.
- Well.
Hello.
Clayton.
- Come to take Mama out? - Yes.
We're going out to dinner.
She'll be down in a minute.
Oh.
Excuse me.
I'm sorry.
- Clayton Farlow.
Roy Ralston.
- How do you do? Oh.
Yeah.
You're the fella who has the talk show J.
R.
's been on.
Yes.
I do.
And I'm sure you share my enthusiasm for J.
R.
's appearances on my show.
Not really.
Well.
J.
R.
's becoming the champion of the underdog.
I have a feeling he'll be leaving for Washington right after the next election.
Well.
Dallas' gain will be Washington's loss.
Clayton.
I'm so sorry I kept you waiting.
No more than we are.
Mama.
Mr.
Ralston.
It was so nice having that little talk with you.
My pleasure.
Mrs.
Ewing.
- Good night.
- Good night.
Bye.
Ma.
Good time, now.
Seems like a nice enough man.
Well.
It's all in the eye of the beholder.
You know.
Roy.
I think I ought to be on your program again just as soon as possible.
Terrific.
Because I have a guest penciled in for the day after tomorrow who's just borderline dull.
So I'll bump him and put you on instead.
- How's that fit into your schedule? - You can count on it.
Now.
You know.
In the past.
All we've ever talked about was oil.
And if I'm going to come off as a well-rounded candidate I think we ought to cover a wider range of topics.
You're absolutely right, J.
R.
Why don't we talk over dinner? Give me a little chance to do some homework.
J.
R.
.
the show is usually unrehearsed.
Oh.
Yeah.
Well.
All three of us are in this together, aren't we? Yeah.
I guess we are.
Come on.
I'll buy you a bourbon and branch.
Yeah.
Well.
I have a couple of little ideas now we might kind of go into Yeah.
We've done it again.
All right.
With your hair and my extraordinary talent the client is gonna sell a trainload of shampoo.
Your modesty is touching.
It's the truth.
And the truth is we make a terrific team.
I think so.
Thanks to you.
I've really started to enjoy my work again.
- Oh.
Good.
- Telephone, Annie.
Okay.
If you wanna see the proofs.
Stop by tomorrow.
Okay.
Thanks.
- Hi.
- Hi.
Am I late? I thought you'd get here earlier so you could watch.
Well.
I got here for the best part.
Oh.
You sure did.
I like that.
Can I have another one? Please? Hey.
You hungry? I don't know.
I hadn't thought about it.
How about we try some barbecue? I saw this great place on McKinney.
- I don't know.
Do they have takeout? - I suppose so.
Good.
Because I'd just rather be alone with you.
- What's the matter? - No.
Nothing.
It's It's just that a motel room doesn't seem right.
It kind of cheapens the way I feel about you.
What difference does it make where we are? I could never feel cheap being anyplace with you.
Trade you.
- Well.
Did you have a good flight? - Yes.
Didn't think we were gonna get off the ground.
The weather's been miserable.
Well.
I didn't think you came all the way down here to bring me good news.
No.
I didn't.
We're experiencing a weather pattern up there that occurs every three years or so.
We had it last year.
Everybody figured we'd be home free this year.
That's not the case.
I don't understand.
Thorton.
What is going on up there? We've had storm after storm move in.
The wind-chill factor has dropped to more than 100 below zero.
Drilling has slowed to a snail's pace.
We can't drill straight down.
We keep running into new lines of shale.
You're painting a wonderfully bleak picture.
We've had two blowouts already.
I don't understand.
It can't be worse there than those fields in Alaska.
Well.
For some reason.
It is.
Believe me.
We've tried every piece of Arctic equipment we can lay our hands on but it's not working.
Bobby.
There's still a fortune in oil in those fields.
I don't think we're gonna make your deadline without some kind of miracle.
If those fields don't pay off in time J.
R.
is gonna be running this company when the year's up.
Well.
I may have a partial solution for you.
I made a stop before I came here.
There is a company ready to pick up your investment.
Now.
The time element doesn't matter to them.
Maybe recouping your investment would help you in your battle with J.
R.
I know J.
R.
And I'm not sure that would be enough.
Those fields have got to come in.
They gotta come in on time.
Bobby.
You're gonna have to face reality.
Well.
I am facing reality.
I've lost too much to give up now.
I had a visit from Thornton McLeish.
McLeish Oil Canada.
Remember? Yeah.
They did a deal with Bobby.
- They have a new proposition for you? - No.
No.
It's the same deal.
It's the same deal that you helped Bobby beat me out of.
Well.
I don't understand.
Sweetheart, I don't think we should discuss business this evening.
She wanted to know why I was in a great mood.
I'm gonna tell her because it's gonna make her happy.
Right now.
I'm bewildered.
Well.
It seems that the weather has been awful at the McLeish drilling site and it doesn't look like they're gonna strike oil before Bobby's deadline runs out.
And if he has to bail out.
Lam first in line for it and it is gonna to be worth a fortune.
But why should that make me happy? Well.
Because without the McLeish deal Bobby will probably lose Ewing Oil to J.
R and then you get him back.
You don't understand.
I hate the battle between Bobby and J.
R.
It doesn't make me happy to see Bobby hurt.
Well.
How is my getting that deal hurting him any more than you walking out on him? I don't know why you want Bobby to lose.
You certainly can't be happy over the prospect of J.
R.
running Ewing Oil again.
Bobby.
J.
R.
.
it's all the same to me.
What.
You don't see any difference? When it comes to business.
All Ewings are alike.
Ask Pam.
Good morning.
Can I help you? My name's Holly Harwood and I have an appointment with Mr.
David.
Let's see.
Harwood.
You're early.
But Mr.
David will be with you as soon as he can.
- Why don't you have a seat? - Thanks.
- I see somebody I know.
- Okay.
- Hello.
Mrs.
Ewing.
- Hello.
I'm Holly Harwood.
We met at the Oil Barons Ball.
And also at Southfork at the barbecue.
Oh.
Yes.
Of course.
How are you? At the moment.
I'm a little nervous.
I've never been here before.
Oh.
Mr.
David will take great care of you.
He's wonderful.
I hope so.
You're the reason I made the appointment.
- Me? - I saw you on TV with J.
R.
Your hair looked so sensational I had to find out where you had it done.
Well.
Thank you very much.
It's so nice to see a wife helping her husband like that.
That's sort of a little promise we made each other.
That's terrific.
Because I had heard that you all had had some problems at one time.
Well.
We were divorced.
But everything is just fine.
That's great.
I've never been married.
But I've been propositioned so often by married men that I guess I've become a little skeptical.
Is there any wife who can really be sure her husband isn't playing around? I guess it doesn't matter to some women.
But.
I don't know.
I couldn't live with it.
Neither could I.
J.
R.
knows that that's something that could cost him his marriage and his son.
- You must be Miss Harwood.
- Yes.
I am.
I'm Mr.
David.
I see the two of you know each other.
- How are you doing.
Mrs.
Ewing? - Fine.
Thank you.
Look.
Why don't we use this booth right over here.
All right? Well.
It was nice seeing you again.
I'm so glad we got a chance to talk.
- Can I help you? - No.
Thanks.
I see my lunch date.
- Hello.
Katherine.
- J.
R.
Well.
I must say.
You do pick out of the way places to have lunch.
I didn't think our luncheon should become the subject of gossip.
Oh.
no.
Hello.
May I bring you a cocktail? Yeah.
Bourbon and branch.
Would you like another wine? No.
Thank you.
I'm fine.
When you called.
You said you had some news.
Yes.
And it's good for you but not so good for me.
Well.
You know Bobby has that deal with McLeish Canada.
Yeah.
I've been praying to the snow god for a very cold winter.
Well.
Your prayers have been answered.
You have some special knowledge about Arctic winters? No.
But Thornton McLeish asked Cliff if he'd like to take over Bobby's deal.
Looks like those wells won't be in in the time limit set in your daddy's will.
Frozen in.
Are they? Something like that.
Thank you.
Seems to bother you.
J.
R.
.
the last thing I want is for Cliff to make a success of Barnes-Wentworth.
I'd hoped he'd be bankrupt in a year or two.
Well.
That's a distinct possibility.
Isn't there anything you can do to cut him out of that deal? I may not have to.
Bobby's counting on that McLeish crude to beat me.
And he can't afford to give up.
If I know my brother.
He's gonna hang in there to the bitter end which is just fine with me.
Though it's not gonna do him any good.
I'm gonna need some new fields when this year's out.
I see.
How's it to lunch with a winner? Just fine.
You say that with all the enthusiasm of a wildcatter drilling dust.
Look.
I'm sorry.
J.
R.
I'd be very happy for you.
If only If only Bobby didn't have to lose? But there can only be one winner.
Katherine.
If Bobby loses.
Pam just might take pity on him.
She might want a reconciliation.
And if I lose and Bobby takes over.
Their marriage is finished for good.
- Is that the way you see it? - Don't you? - If you want Bobby - Who said I wanted Bobby? If you want Bobby.
You better move fast while this contest for Ewing Oil is still on and I win.
Well.
J.
R.
.
here's to winners.
I'll drink to that.
All right.
You know as much about it as I do now.
I'm counting on you two boys.
You have more experience in those Alaskan fields than anybody.
You said that McLeish had already tried that artificial-diamond bit.
That's what he says.
- Do you know which one.
Bobby? - I haven't the slightest idea.
Why don't we get on the radio.
Talk to the boys at the drilling site? Find out what they're using.
Soon as we come up with something.
We'll get back to you.
Bobby.
I've gotta level with you.
Sometimes there isn't a thing you can do under conditions like this.
Jackson.
I won't accept that until we've exhausted every possibility.
Excuse me.
- Yes.
Phyllis.
- Pam's an line one.
Okay.
I'll take it.
Okay.
Boys.
I have a deadline to make and I'm counting on you.
So get on it.
- Yes.
Hello.
Pam.
- Hi.
I heard you're having problems with the Canadian deal.
- Yes, I am.
- I'm so sorry.
I know how you must feel.
I thought you might like to come by for a drink later.
I'd like that very much.
Well.
Anytime you finish at the office.
Okay.
I'll be there.
Bye-bye.
Goodbye.
Well.
I never expected to see you here again.
I come in peace.
That's a promising opening statement.
Well.
Maybe I was hasty before.
But I think you can understand the reason for my anger.
What's changed? When I cooled down.
I realized that you'd lost as much as I had.
Maybe more.
You mean Ewing Oil? Well.
I've been doing some hard thinking.
J.
R.
You and I both want the money from that oil shipment.
Got any ideas - how to go about getting it? - No.
But I know that if anybody can get the money out of Cuba, J.
R.
Ewing can.
Is that a fact? And I'm not gonna get anything being J.
R.
's enemy.
So I'd like to declare a truce.
Business and personal.
I'm beginning to like what I hear.
I know I teased you in the beginning.
I've always found you terribly attractive.
Well.
I admire your taste.
My dear.
I also remember a pistol about as big as a cannon pointing right between my eyes.
I've put away my gun.
That's nice.
Take a little getting used to.
A quiet little restaurant.
A little music? - I know just the place.
- I thought you would.
You know.
Pam.
I remember the first time I saw you.
You remember? You looked so pretty that night.
I remember I couldn't stand the fact that you spent the evening dancing with Ray Krebbs.
Well.
He was my date.
After everything Digger told me about the Ewings I thought they were a family of monsters.
I couldn't believe that Ray was taking me to a Ewing barbecue.
- And that I went.
- Well.
Well.
I'm glad you did.
Do you realize that was almost six years ago? I know.
I can still remember the look on Ray's face when I cut in on that dance.
Well.
I'm sure he had big plans for me for the rest of the evening.
Oh.
I'm sure he did.
- And I'm glad I spoiled them.
- So am I.
Ray Krebbs a cupid, can you believe it? I'm glad you called.
I'm glad I came here.
It's been a nice couple of hours with no talk about business.
But I think I better go.
Bobby? Maybe I don't have to leave right yet.
Thank you.
That's it for the evening.
Folks.
I'm here every night and I'd like to see you again real soon.
- Wow.
This evening just flew by.
- Didn't it? Lam so sorry we didn't get to know each other like this before.
Everything would have been so different.
We better get out of here before they throw us out.
Fortunately.
Your house is only five minutes away.
J.
R.
.
I had such a wonderful evening with you.
That was just an appetizer.
J.
R.
.
I'm not trying to be coy or play the professional virgin or anything I just don't think it's right for tonight.
What's wrong? I just need a little time.
Everything has changed so suddenly for us.
J.
R.
.
it'll be worth the wait.
- Believe me? - You're very convincing.
- Good morning.
- Good morning.
Did you sleep well? I sure did.
I love you.
You know.
I've missed hearing that in the morning.
Well.
You're gonna hear it a lot more from now on.
I'm gonna send a couple of the boys in from Southfork to help you pack.
Pack? Sure.
Oh.
Honey.
It'll be a lot easier for you that way.
You don't realize it, but you've accumulated a lot of stuff here.
I mean.
Your own things and Christopher's.
Bobby.
I'm not coming back to Southfork.
Well.
What was last night all about? I love you.
But sex hasn't changed anything.
Oh.
Come on.
Honey.
This separation is silly.
It's obvious that we want each other.
Well.
Of course I want you.
Step out of Ewing Oil and I'll come home with you right now.
Honey.
I would do almost anything for you.
But I can't do that.
That is what's tearing us apart.
As long as you're obsessed with winning the company you'll never be the Bobby I fell in love with.
If I start giving up on the things that I try and do now the Bobby Ewing you knew is gonna cease to exist.
He ceased to exist a long time ago.
Who the hell were you in bed with last night? Bobby.
That was just a moment.
A moment.
Is that what our marriage is to you now.
A moment? You make me feel like I should give you a bill for services rendered.
Well.
My timing's terrific again.
Bobby.
Well.
Hello.
Walt.
How you doing? What the hell do you want? And keep your gorilla away from me.
Now.
Wait a minute.
This is Sergeant McSween.
You remember him.
Don't you? He's the man that got your wife off that hit and run rap.
And he can help you too.
What kind of help can I get from friends of yours, huh? You were gonna let me stay in jail.
Remember? Well.
That's kind of ungrateful.
I mean.
After all.
You are out on bail.
Don't come any closer.
I wanna make a little proposition.
- I am not interested.
- Hear me out.
Would you? I'm willing to pay all your court costs and your legal fees.
And the good sergeant here is gonna do everything in his power to have those charges against you reduced.
After all.
It was a setup.
I'm sure a good lawyer can get you off.
J.
R.
.
I lost everything.
It doesn't have to be that way.
Walt.
All you have to do is give me the name of that Cuban contact of yours and I'll make sure you're free.
Look.
I don't want your help.
You've destroyed me.
J.
R.
I have nothing left.
Nothing.
No wife.
No job.
Nothing.
All I have is a record.
And I was gonna make you millions! You want me to stay here.
J.
R.
? Maybe I can convince him to talk.
No.
He's too far gone.
I just have to find another way.
- There you go.
Honey.
- Thank you.
Well.
You've been a bundle of laughs all evening.
Well.
I'm glad you're pleased with my company.
Oh.
My sense of humor left with Pamela, I think.
We can put up with it.
Your sense of humor and Pam are both gonna come back as soon as this fight with J.
R.
is over with.
- I think it may be over already.
- Now.
Wait a minute.
You are not gonna throw in the towel and let J.
R.
win.
No.
No.
It's just that he's getting a little help from Mother Nature up North.
You might say I've got a bundle of frozen assets.
I knew he hadn't lost his sense of humor.
He just needed thawing out a little bit.
I thought you'd be way ahead of J.
R.
after his last deal collapsed.
No.
We're neck and neck, actually.
I got a lot of money tied up in that field.
Well.
If you just need some cash to bring that field in I've got $10 million just sitting around looking for a good home, Bob.
That's your inheritance from Daddy.
Can't think of a better way to spend it than throwing in with you.
You know.
You are some kind of brother.
Yeah.
And he's quite a husband too.
Hey.
Jock would have liked the idea.
He'd be real pleased if you used the money.
Bob.
Ray.
I can't take it.
- You're welcome to it.
- I know that and I appreciate it.
No.
What I need.
Money can't buy.
I don't even know if it's been invented yet.
It's just that lately everything seems to be going wrong.
- I don't know why.
- Ls it Pam? I guess it starts there.
Well.
You wanna talk about it.
Bob? There's nothing to talk about.
Look.
Bob Ray and I think that you shouldn't make too hasty a decision about Pam.
I mean.
Once the problem with Ewing Oil is over with.
She's bound to come around.
Well.
Donna.
That's gonna be some time off and I think it's already too late.
My husband started a trend.
He was the first to cut prices on gasoline.
Then the others followed.
J.
R.
.
would you consider yourself a trendsetter? Well.
To be honest with you.
I never thought of myself that way.
I approached the problem as a hardheaded businessman.
And I used the old saying.
“Give the people what they want.
“ And you can't lose that way.
Do you think that that also applies to other things besides business? Well.
Really.
There is nothing else besides business.
I'm sure a lot of people will quarrel with your statement.
But what about government.
For example? Government is big business, the biggest.
They're in the police business.
In the land-management business health.
Education business.
All those bureaus are just departments of one big department store.
It's a very interesting way of looking at things.
But would you say that foreign policy also comes under the heading of business? Absolutely.
Look.
It just boils down to two guys haggling over the price of something.
Now.
The price could be a piece of property or mineral rights, or the rights to grow a certain kind of food.
And when they arrange the right price.
Be it bullets or butter.
They strike a deal.
The deal holds until somebody comes along with another market for something.
Then you believe that businessmen should take a bigger interest in government? Indeed I do.
But the businessman should also get into world affairs outside of the government.
A regular businessman.
A citizen.
Can do an awful lot of good just by meeting the right people and jawboning.
And remember.
You gotta find the right price and give the people what they want.
All right.
Then.
Where would you start? There is a little island.
90 miles off a Southern coast of our great country here.
I think we ought to be better friends.
And to achieve that.
The best way to do it is man-to-man.
- You mean Cuba? - Yes.
Would you be willing to make such a trip? Well.
If the right offer came along.
Sure.
Sue Ellen.
How do you feel about your husband going to Cuba? Well.
I really hadn't thought about it but I know he'd do some good.
J.
R.
.
as a capitalist and a businessman how could you find anything in common with Cuba's communists? Roy.
I honestly don't know.
But I'd like the opportunity to find out.
And who knows.
We might come up with a deal that would be profitable for both sides.
I feel rotten about bumping into Bobby.
I hope I didn't make things worse.
You were very upset.
You couldn't make things worse Thank you.
they're as bad as they can get.
Pam.
I hate to see you so depressed.
Why don't we spend tomorrow together? Maybe some tennis.
Lunch at the club.
We could take a drive.
- You need some cheering up.
- Now.
There's a good friend.
That's really sweet.
Thank you.
Well.
What dc you say? I'll cancel everything on my calendar.
We can leave early for the club.
Mark.
I think I need more of a change than tennis.
Well.
Name it.
I don't know.
I'm confused.
I need to get away by myself for a while.
Maybe your resort.
I know the perfect spot.
Lovely accommodations.
All the quiet you could want great food.
If you want that.
Well.
That sounds perfect.
This small.
Very elegant hotel on the French Riviera.
France? I hadn't even thought about leaving the country.
- Why not? - Lf you're worried about Christopher - Well.
Of course I am.
- Don't be.
I'm a terrific babysitter.
- I don't know.
- Well.
Your passports all in order.
Isn't it? It's a wonderful idea.
And you know how much I adore Christopher.
Oh.
Go ahead.
Pam.
Why do I feel like the two of you are ganging up on me? Well.
It's settled.
I'll call the airport.
I'll have a company plane ready to leave first thing in the morning.
With you as my guide? Come on.
Mark.
You know better than that.
We'd just complicate things more.
I wanna be by myself.
Look.
I promise.
You won't even know I'm there.
Unless you wanna see me.
Pam.
I promise.
It's perfect.
The phone service in France isn't great you'll have all the privacy you want.
Even from your family in Dallas.
I don't know.
That's all right, Teresa.
I'll get it.
Hello.
Good morning.
Sue Ellen.
This is Holly Harwood.
It's very important that we talk.
- About what? - Not on the phone.
I thought you and I should have lunch.
All right.
When? Today.
12:30.
The Knoll on Greenville.
I'll be there.
Bye.
Goodbye.
- Yeah.
Phyllis.
- Katherine Wentworth is an line two.
Thank you.
Katherine? Oh.
Hello.
Bobby.
Could I see you right away? - Well.
Is something wrong? - Yes.
- Are you at the hotel? - Yes.
I'm in Pam's suite.
I'll be over as soon as I can.
Thanks very much.
Bobby.
Bye-bye.
- Bunjour! Miss Harwood.
- Mrs.
Ewing.
This way.
Sue Ellen.
I am so sorry I kept you waiting.
I thought something had happened.
Would you like something from the bar? A martini, straight up.
Please.
Sue Ellen? No.
I'm just fine.
- I thought you got caught in traffic.
- That would be an easy excuse.
The truth is, I almost didn't come.
But you're the one that asked me to lunch.
It sounded urgent.
I know.
Look.
It was very difficult for me to make that call.
And then I just didn't know if I could face you.
Well.
Now that you are here.
Maybe you ought to explain.
I really I don't understand anything.
I was hoping that by now you'd have an idea of what I'm talking about.
I really don't.
Well.
The other day when I bumped into you at Mr.
David's I had an enormous attack of conscience.
Especially after you told me how much your marriage to J.
R.
means to you.
I realized how much you care for him.
Well.
I don't understand what my marriage has to do with you.
Maybe I should have left well enough alone.
The last thing I ever wanted to do was come between a husband and wife.
A good marriage is a very special thing.
I want you to know that my relationship with J.
R.
is not all his fault.
I pursued him.
I wanted him more than I've ever wanted any other man.
You can understand that.
He is very special.
I'm gonna try to end our relationship.
It's not fair to you.
It's not fair to him now that both of you are so much in the public eye.
Are you finished? I wanted you to hear this from me.
I didn't want you to hear it thirdhand.
You know how rumors spread.
- You're a liar.
- Am I? Why would I put myself through all this? Do you know where he was night before last? What time did he get home? Left me about 1:30.
He got home about 2.
didn't he? Why don't you ask him where he was? He was wearing a white shirt.
My color lipstick is on the collar.
Why don't you look for it? Katherine.
What's the matter? Bobby.
I'm so glad you're here.
- I've been so worried about you.
- Worried about me.
Why? The world seems to have fallen in on you.
Katherine.
What are you talking about? Cliff wasted no time in telling us about your problems in Canada.
That is just a problem that I have to solve.
Day by day.
As it comes along.
Then there's Pam.
What about Pam? She left for a few days.
Very suddenly.
- That's why I called you.
- I see.
- You must have had a terrible fight.
- We did.
- Did she leave alone? - Well.
I don't know.
I think Mark made one of his planes available.
Boy.
He is Johnny-on-the-spot around here.
Isn't he? Bobby.
I have tried to help.
I've talked to Pam a number of times but she's just so stubborn.
Katherine.
Nothing is gonna be settled between us until this fight with J.
R.
is over.
Bobby.
If I can't help you get Pam back maybe I can help you win Ewing Oil.
Why should you care who wins? Well.
We are family.
Thank you.
Cliff said that that Canadian venture could cost you the company.
How can you help? I mean.
What do you know about the oil business? Nothing.
But I am a Wentworth.
And I do have some influence with some pretty smart people at Wentworth Industries.
I could make a few well-placed phone calls for you.
Thank you.
Katherine.
You're a good friend.
Bobby.
You know I'd do anything for you.
Oh.
That's a wonderful idea.
Yeah.
I appreciate it.
Bud.
Hey.
That's a wonderful idea.
Richard.
Really.
I appreciate it.
Bud.
Good talking to you.
- Hey.
You know who that was? - No.
Richard Mclntyre.
Used to be an undersecretary in the State Department.
Old friend of mine.
What did he want? Well.
He saw us on The Ray Ralston Shaw and we've kicked quite a stir.
He's been on the phone for hours to his contacts in Washington D.
C.
It seems like the newsmen back there picked it up and it could be big.
- I mean really big.
- That's wonderful.
Well.
Anyway.
The State Department will approve my visit to Cuba in a semiofficial capacity.
Of course and now.
All we have to do is get the okay from Cuba.
Honey.
This could go along way for us to get what we want.
J.
R.
.
where were you night before last? We were on television together.
That was last night.
Oh.
Yeah.
I was out with Fred Hayes and old Bill Cantro.
We were locking up a deal on fields.
As a matter of fact, I ought to I'm late for a meeting right now.
I won't be late.
