Dallas s03e08 Episode Script

188145 - Rodeo

I saw you ride.
You're real good.
It's not hard being good at something you like doing.
He's a Ewing through and through, I'll tell you.
What do you think? Doesn't he look like a Ewing? We Texans are very protective, even possessive, of our women.
We take special interest in who they're seeing and why.
Yes, sir, I know.
I'm a Texan myself.
You just pretend I'm that cowboy.
That ought to make you smile.
You disgust me! A little higher on this end, boys.
- Miss Ellie.
- McManus just called.
One of his trucks broke down.
The last load of lumber won't be here until 1:30 or 2:00.
Well, that ought to be just about right, the way things been going around here.
You all right, Jock? You're not working too hard, are you? - Oh, no.
I'm having a ball, Miss Ellie.
- Excuse me, ma'am.
That row of tables, Mr.
Ewing, we're not sure where you want them.
- I'll leave you.
I've got work of my own.
- Okay.
I'll tell you what.
Put them right over there, where we put them every year, okay? Got a headache, honey? It's just the noise, that's all.
You just can't stand to have me touch you, can you? I've been patient, Sue Ellen, and, I think, understanding.
Your continued desire for me is flattering if unexpected.
You never used to be so interested.
You are my wife, you know.
You should've thought of that a few years ago, J.
R.
Things might've been different.
I've really made an effort, Sue Ellen, for your sake and the child's.
I think I have a right to expect something from you in return.
You'll forgive me if I find it difficult to accept you in the role of a faithful husband and a loving father.
I could be if you'd just give me a chance.
You used up all your chances for that, J.
R.
, a long time ago.
Now all I want you to do is leave me alone.
Your child is crying.
The nurse will deal with him.
Stack them straight.
Get it right the first time, will you? Ray, where you been hiding? I haven't seen you in a few days.
- I've been around, working.
- Yeah? - You got a second so we can talk? - Kind of busy.
I gotta run these inside.
Sure.
I want another 50 loaves of bread.
Tell Remando.
We can always freeze them.
They won't go to waste.
Morning, Mama.
Morning, Bobby.
Where are you off to? I thought you were going to Dallas.
Well, I was, but there's been a change in plans.
Found a few discrepancies in last month's feed bills.
So I'm gonna meet with McGregor at the warehouse in Braddock go over them with him.
What's Pam doing today? She wants to go see Digger.
That last attack of his scared her.
- I think she's a little worried about him.
- It's nothing serious, is it? Not as far as anybody can tell, but he's been awful rough on that old body of his.
- It was bound to give out sometime.
- Well when you get older, Bobby, your body betrays you whether you're rough on it or not.
Mama, are you okay? Just tired.
Your daddy thrives on this kind of activity.
I'm getting a little old for it.
Is it my imagination, or is there more noise this year? I think that every year.
The workmen just get louder and louder.
- I better get going, or I'm gonna be late.
- You going into town? - As far as Braddock.
- Well, my car's being fixed.
I wondered if you could give me a ride.
I could shop while you do business.
My head is hurting from all this racket.
- It'd be my pleasure.
- Thank you.
I'll get my purse.
- Do you have a lot to do? - Shouldn't take over two hours.
How about you? Nothing really.
It was just nice to get out of the house.
Too bad my therapy's only four days a week.
It gives me something to do.
Well, I hope it's doing more than that, Sue Ellen.
See you at noon.
Hector's Place.
- Okay.
Bye-bye.
- Bye.
It's moving along fast, J.
R.
If I didn't know better, I'd swear the movement was genuine.
Six people here, a dozen there.
Barnes for Congress groups springing up all over the state.
All we need now is for someone to organize it all.
Keep the energy going so it doesn't dissipate.
We wouldn't want it to burn out before Barnes takes the bait.
No, we wouldn't want that.
We need someone we can trust to get close to Barnes.
- Keep him headed in the right direction.
- Got any ideas? I've always got ideas.
Here are some names.
I've made inquiries.
Discreetly, of course.
These people want what you want, J.
R.
Barnes out of the OLM.
But none of them has been too vocal about it.
Someone's name isn't here.
Yours.
- Mine? - Who would do a better job? But Barnes knows I work for you.
He'll never let me near him.
Want to put some money on that? Oh, you've got a plan.
I got a plan.
Come on, Daddy.
The reservations are at 12: 15.
Reservations.
A hamburger stand is good enough for me.
- Okay, okay, come on, I'm ready.
- Where'd you get this? They're all over town.
You can't miss them even if you try.
Any special reason you brought it home? I don't even remember bringing that home.
Oh, come on, Daddy.
If you're planning to attend that rodeo to see baby John just put it out of your mind.
Pamela, I'm a grown man.
I know what I'm doing.
Please don't cause any trouble.
We've all had more of it than we need.
- I'm not gonna cause any trouble.
- Promise me.
Promise me you won't come.
I know you.
You'll say something you'll be sorry for, we'll all be sorry for.
I promise, all right? Okay? I promise.
Oh, come on, let's get some lunch.
I'm hungry.
You were talking about a reservation.
Let's get there in time.
- Let me help you, ma'am.
- Thank you.
Thank you.
We got an empty table over here.
Looks like you been on some kind of spree.
Yes, I have.
Thank you for helping.
I appreciate it.
- It's my pleasure, ma'am.
- I'm sorry, Mrs.
Ewing.
- What? - Come on, cowboy, on your way.
Hey, just a minute.
Hector, it's all right.
He was only trying to help.
- I said, everything is all right.
- Yes, Mrs.
Ewing, if you say so.
I'm sorry about that.
- Are you this Mrs.
Ewing? - One of them.
I come all the way from Odessa just to ride in the rodeo so I expect I'll see you there.
I expect you will.
- Howdy.
- Oh, Bobby.
This is my brother-in-law, Bobby Ewing, Mr? - Farlow.
Dusty Farlow.
- Pleased to meet you.
He was just helping me with my packages.
Well I'll see you at the rodeo.
- Good.
He seems very nice.
Ladies and gentlemen I want to welcome you to the 14th annual Ewing Rodeo.
Today's events include bareback bronc riding, saddle bronc riding and calf roping.
A prize of $500 will be awarded for each event.
First $5000 for all-around best cowboy.
Get yourself some food and drink.
The rodeo will start in a few minutes.
- Thank you.
- I'll take care of that, darling.
Say, Billy, how you doing? Harry, good to see you here.
Give me a bourbon.
- Enjoying yourself, darling? - Oh, I've never seen anything like it.
It's so big.
"A few friends, a family rodeo," you said.
Well, when Daddy entertains, he goes all out.
A family trait, I gather.
Well, that's what us Ewings are all about, honey.
- We do big things the big way.
- And that's why I like them.
Them? - You.
- Oh, so you don't forget, huh? She's doing it again.
What'd you say? Sue Ellen is beginning to annoy me.
Oh, what's she done now? Nothing.
That's just it.
She keeps walking around, playing superior as hell.
I've had to put up with her airs and graces all my life.
I'm sick of it.
Now, hold on.
That's my wife you're talking about.
And don't I know just how much you value her.
Kristin, however I spend my playtime is one thing.
I never forget my first loyalties are with my wife, my family and my child.
And if you're smart, you won't forget it either.
I won't.
- I guess I'd better not.
- Good.
Hey, I've drawn a horse name of Buster.
Anybody here know him? Yeah, I rode him at Funt's Rodeo about a month ago.
- What'd you think of him? - Nothing too big.
Just average run.
Ain't I seen you somewhere before? Down around San Angelo? Maybe.
Been around a lot.
- Ladies and gentleman - Club soda, please.
the rodeo is about to begin.
- How many events you in? - What's that? Oh, all of them, I reckon.
Thank you.
Thank you, Tom.
I've been looking forward to this for weeks.
- I had such a good time last year.
- I'm glad to hear that.
When are you gonna let girls compete, Mr.
Ewing? She can outride most of the hands you got on this place.
I know she can.
Maybe next year, sweetheart, okay? Why don't you get seats before the good ones are gone? - Okay, Jock.
- See you later.
- Bye-bye.
- Let's go, girls.
Our first rider out is Billy Boyd Conrad on Santa Mara, chute number five.
Good lad, Billy Boyd hails from Corpus Christi, Texas.
And he's making a fine ride this afternoon.
He scores an 89.
Billy Boyd Conrad.
Now from chute number four, Dennis Quigley on Minnie's Choice.
A local boy, Dennis.
Dennis is in trouble.
Lost his bounce coming out of the bucking chute.
That can happen to anyone, believe me.
That surprises me.
Dennis, he rode a lot better last year.
You know, if you're not careful, these things are gonna become permanent.
Guess I'm turning into a drag, huh? Well, I wouldn't have phrased it quite that way.
But it would be nice to see a smile every now and then.
I'm sorry, Bobby.
I'm just worried about Digger showing up.
That's just like your brother to tell Digger about the mess just to make it worse.
Well, he didn't mean to.
It just slipped out.
Well, whatever.
Maybe you got it all wrong.
Maybe Digger doesn't even intend to show up.
I know him better than that.
He will.
Okay, well, if he does, then we'll handle it when the time comes.
Let's not ruin a terrific day by worrying about it, okay? Okay.
Pretty rank-looking bulls, huh? Adrian Parker brought them in for us special from Fort Worth.
You ride any of them broncs before? Might've rode one of their daddies.
- Ray.
- Hi, Lucy.
How you doing? - You having a good time? - Yeah.
When you gonna ride? Pretty quick now.
Fixing to go and get the rest of my gear.
- I'll catch you later, huh? - Wait a minute, Ray.
Well, I'm in a hurry.
I'm next up.
Don't you want to tell me what's going on? Lately you've just been looking so down and depressed.
Lucy, there's nothing going on.
I've just been busy, that's all.
Come on, Ray, we're friends.
I've always counted on you.
But now I can't even get you to say hello to me half the time.
If I did something wrong or hurt you, you've gotta tell me.
- It's nothing you've done, Lucy.
- Then what's wrong? It's got nothing to do with you, honey.
It's Donna.
Who's Donna? Someone I was seeing a while ago.
Well? It turned out she was married.
She left her husband finally, and I thought she was gonna get a divorce.
That maybe we could Anyway, last week, I read in the newspaper she's gonna get back with her husband.
I'm sorry, Ray.
Didn't she write or phone to explain? Oh, yeah, she wrote, all right.
Well, what'd she say? I don't know.
What do you mean, you don't know? Didn't you read any of her letters? I'll read them someday.
I just can't do it right now, Lucy.
I gotta go.
Good cowboy if there ever was one.
Today he is riding Triple Threat.
If this horse lives up to his name we might be watching a real contender this time.
Ladies and gentlemen, from chute number three, Dusty Farlow on Triple Threat.
And here they come.
Hey, out of there in a hurry.
Dusty Farlow on Triple Threat.
Spurred him up forward throughout his ride.
Let's see what our judges are gonna come up with after that fine ride by Dusty Farlow.
They have scored him an 89.
Impressive score, ladies and gentlemen.
Let's hear it for our cowboy, Dusty Farlow.
And now, climbing aboard Salome, is Bobby Ewing.
In case there's anybody who don 't know it Bobby is Jock Ewing's youngest boy and one of the best cowboys in the country.
Our cowboy here having some problems with Salome.
She'll settle down in a minute.
Where are you off to? Bobby's about to ride, and it makes me nervous.
I'm going in the house and look in on baby John.
Pam, Bobby's fine, and so is the baby.
Now, you do yourself a favor.
Stop worrying.
And concentrate on getting well.
Okay.
The horse, Salome, giving Bobby some trouble but watch chute gate number one.
He's about ready for his ride.
- Okay.
- Salome is giving Bobby some trouble.
But here he comes out of chute number one.
Really spurring him up forward, making a great ride on him.
We mentioned he's one of the country's top riders.
In trouble there, momentarily.
Looks like he'll go all the way.
Well, that's my boy.
Your mama been looking all right to you lately? Oh, yes, sir.
She's looking just fine.
- Why? - I don't know.
I want to tell her about Amanda, but somehow Dad, don't you worry about that.
Lawyers are drawing up that trust fund for her just the way you want them to.
All you have to do is just sit back, relax, enjoy the rodeo.
What do you say? All right.
Here they come.
Jim Petty and Jack Leland.
Chute number four.
Club soda, please.
Hello, Digger.
Ellie.
Am I? Am I welcome here? As long as you stay sober and keep out of trouble, you're welcome here.
Club soda.
Ladies and gentlemen, you all know Ray Krebbs.
We've been watching him ride since he was 15 years old.
He's as good a cowboy as they come.
And he's getting his hand in that rigging, about set to go on Gold Digger.
Watch bucking chute number two.
He'll be coming out of there.
They'll spur him out.
Beat up four to qualify out on his ride.
Let him go.
Here he comes.
Ray Krebbs on Gold Digger.
Top four under those feet.
Spurring him throughout the ride, like he's supposed to.
And he makes it all the way to that eight-second buzzer.
Let's wait to see what our judges have to say about his score.
Imagine this cowboy's as good as they come.
They give him a score of 89.
That's it, ladies and gentlemen.
First rodeo event is concluded.
It'll be a short intermission.
Go get yourself some of Miss Ellie's good food.
We'll see you all again real soon.
- Well, hi there.
- Hi.
You got everything straight? Know what you're supposed to do? - I'm counting on you.
- Now, J.
R.
, have I ever disappointed you? No.
I can't say you have.
Not yet, anyway.
Hey.
At least you could pretend to be having a good time, honey.
You could do that for me.
After all you've done for me of course.
- Oh, excuse me.
- I'm sorry.
- I'm sorry.
- Here you go, ma'am.
Will this help? Are you always there when you're needed? Well, I doubt it, but I'd sure like to be.
I saw you ride.
You're real good.
Well, thank you.
It's not hard being good at something you like doing.
Isn't it? Look, I haven't had anything to eat all day.
If you'll excuse me.
Well, maybe I can get you something.
I'm kind of hungry myself.
Well, I have a better idea.
Why don't we both go? - Well, that would be my pleasure.
- Okay.
Will Ray Krebbs, Jimmy Jahns and Tommy Maguire report to the judges? It's a good life.
I got no complaints.
Have you ever thought of settling down? Just one place? Sometimes, yeah.
I'll take a job like a ranch foreman, something like that.
I'll start thinking that's gonna be it forever.
But sooner or later I get restless, or I'll see a sign for a rodeo.
I start thinking about how much fun it is to take down that prize money.
And then I'm gone.
- Does that make any sense to you? - A little, maybe.
I understand what might be nice or important or interesting one year might not the next.
I don't know about that.
Seems to me that I go on liking the same old things over and over again except in different places.
- Food, horses and - Women? Yep.
And women.
I'm sorry.
I shouldn't have asked that.
No, please, no.
I don't mind you asking me personal questions.
I don't know what it is exactly.
Maybe I'm crazy, but But I really feel comfortable with you.
I don't think I would mind anything that you'd say to me at all.
Ladies and gentlemen, intermission is over.
Calf roping is next up on the program, so let's get back in those seats.
Ladies and gentlemen, our first roper is Ray Krebbs.
Out after that calf.
Catches him, down the rope to make his tie.
Ray's gonna flank him to the ground.
That'll put him on the side for his tie.
He wraps him up in a hurry.
Let's see what our timers say about the time on Ray Krebbs.
I think you can all see why Jock Ewing sets such a store by his foreman.
- Hi.
- Hi.
- Any sign of Digger yet? - No, but the crowd's so big, I can't tell.
Did you see my ride? I'm sorry, baby, it made me too nervous to watch.
Well, I was pretty good, if I do say so myself.
But then so is he.
That's the cowboy Sue Ellen's been talking to.
- Dusty Farlow.
Here he goes.
Out of there in good shape.
Down to catch his calf.
Off the right side, trying to save those seconds.
He's gonna flank him to the ground.
Taking the string out of the mouth onto the front legs of the calf, bringing up the hind legs.
He gets it all done in the remarkable time of 11 seconds flat.
Hey, Bobby.
You and Ray better watch out.
That young fella out there is liable to win all the marbles.
- Who is he? - His name's Dusty Farlow, Daddy.
I think he's from Odessa.
Sue Ellen and I bumped into him in Braddock yesterday.
- Seems like a pretty nice guy.
- He knows his stuff.
- He's a good hand, I can see that.
- Yeah.
What the hell? What're you doing poking around in my cabin? - I wanted to know what was going on.
- Give me that! You should read that.
I didn't know the Donna you meant was Sam Culver's wife.
You got no business butting in, Lucy.
Well, somebody had to do something.
You're so proud and so stubborn.
You were just gonna spend your life moping around instead of doing something as simple as reading a letter.
- It's none of your business, Lucy.
- Sure.
Maybe you'd really find out what's going on and have to quit feeling sorry for yourself.
I know what's going on.
But you didn't know why.
You didn't know that Sam Culver is dying of cancer and that Donna had to go back just to be with him at the end.
You didn't know that Donna still loves you.
You didn't know anything that really matters.
Mrs.
Donna Culver, please.
Donna? It's Ray.
Yeah.
I know.
There he goes.
Gives the nod.
Bobby Ewing out of there in a hurry.
Let's see how he can make that pitch.
Slaps onto the calf, has it on there.
Takes the slack.
Going down for his tie.
Going to the right side, same as the other ropers, to get him down in a hurry.
However, he is gonna be slower on that tie.
He had a fast start out of there.
Ladies and gentlemen, our timers give us a time of 12 seconds flat on Bobby Ewing.
We got a problem here with our calf.
He doesn 't want to leave the arena.
He's good.
If I'm not careful, he'll take my prize money.
Well, he won't keep it.
He'll give it to whoever's in second place.
- The Ewing's just like winning, that's all.
- They're not the only ones.
I mean, I'm not saying I'm gonna turn my back on $5000 but the competition, that's not the most important thing.
It's winning.
Hey, I'm not I'm not coming on like Attila the Hun, am I? Wanting to win is just a normal human desire.
Don't you want to? I don't even know what the word means anymore.
Why don't we slip off somewhere together.
Now don't go too far.
I want you where I can see you.
As a matter of fact, I want you where everybody can see you.
Well, look who's here.
We're gonna have a better audience than I anticipated.
Old Cliff Barnes can hear this story from the lips of his very own daddy.
All those months in California put some money in my pocket.
Made me remember how good it feels to work hard and get paid for it.
I have been on the wagon ever since.
And have you stopped blaming Jock for every evil that's ever befallen you? - Is that why you're here? - Look, Ellie I never held you responsible.
You know that.
You did what you had to do and I respected you for it.
So did Jock, Digger.
I wish you'd remember that part about what happened.
It worries me all this bad feeling dragging on.
What happened between you and Jock was bad enough but now your boy and mine they're out for blood, both of them.
I don't know where it's gonna end.
It frightens me.
Digger, why are you here? To see that beautiful new grandson of yours.
Well, shall we get on with it? You could at least smile.
I need some encouragement.
From what I've seen, not a whole lot.
But then your type always manages to get what they want by giving very little away.
There is a saying about casting pearls before swine.
I personally wouldn't dream of it.
And I personally wouldn't stoop to pick you up.
I know men must find you very attractive.
Why is a mystery to me.
And I hope it'll always stay that way.
This is gonna be a real pleasure.
- How dare you?! - Why did you do that? What do you mean, why? How dare you? - Hey, hey, hey, what's going on here? - J.
R.
, he insulted me.
You've gone too far, Beam.
You've forgotten your place.
Get out.
Now wait a minute.
I can explain.
I don't know how you treat women, but we respect them.
I didn't do anything.
You don't understand.
Yes, I understand.
Get off Southfork.
I don't want you near a Ewing again, you hear? I hear, and that's fine with me.
I've had just about enough of all of you.
It's all right.
It's all right.
Excuse me.
- Hi.
We haven't met.
I'm Lucy Ewing.
- I know who you are.
I'm Alan Beam.
Nice to meet you.
Well, I just wanted to say hi.
Guess I'll see you around sometime.
Not if your uncle has anything to say about it.
He doesn't.
Who are those two over there? Do you know them? My husband and my sister.
Looks like your husband's what's known as a Texas gentleman.
I don't think my sister's honor needs defending.
Looks like we're about to witness a repeat performance.
Mr.
Farlow was just commenting on how much a Texas gentleman you are.
J.
R.
Ewing, Dusty Farlow.
We Texans are very protective, even possessive, of our women.
We take special interest in who they're seeing and why.
Yes, sir, I know.
I'm a Texan myself.
Excuse me, ma'am.
It's about time for me to ride.
I'll see you after the next event if you're still free.
You can't frighten him, J.
R.
There's nothing he wants that you can deprive him of.
If you mean yourself, Sue Ellen I wouldn't be too sure of that.
Our next rider, ladies and gentlemen, is Bobby Ewing.
He's drawn one mean bull here this afternoon, called Buckshot.
Bull riding's the most dangerous of all of our contest events.
They ride with what we call a bull rope or a loose rope.
Bobby Ewing, getting his hand into that rope on that bull called Buckshot.
Watch the chutes, he'll be out in a hurry.
Bull looking out the gate, over our rodeo clowns.
We got those clowns out there for the cowboys ' protection.
Okay.
Here he is, Bobby Ewing, right out of that gate.
Hey, in trouble, but it looks like he has made the buzzer with a score of 79.
The clowns having their problems with the bull once that ride is over.
It's their job to move in there, get the bull's attention.
He's got them all three run up onto the fence.
Ladies and gentlemen, our next bull rider, in chute number six, is Dusty Farlow.
He's drawn a bull called Sundance.
Here's a bull that seldom gets ridden.
If he can make it all the way to that eight-second buzzer he's the one to win the money on.
Dusty down there, hand in that rope.
He says, "Let's have it.
" Here he goes.
Dusty Farlow on the bad bull Sundance.
Into a spin, and Dusty Farlow makes it all the way to that buzzer.
Clowns are moving in there to get the bull's attention.
Let's see.
That was a good ride if I ever saw one.
Let's see what our judges thought.
This is the score.
He scored an 85.
Sue Ellen, you'd better be careful.
You're beginning to make a spectacle of yourself.
I think you've supplied enough dramatics for one afternoon.
Nobody's gonna pay any attention to me.
You're forgetting J.
R.
Believe me, I keep trying.
I've gotta hand it to you, Kristin.
It took me eight years to figure out J.
R.
You managed to do it in a few short months.
I don't think I quite understand what you're getting at.
I was referring to my husband's little idiosyncrasy of always wanting what someone else wants or has.
Isn't that why you'd rather Dusty didn't pay any attention to me? In fact, wasn't that what your little performance was all about? He practically attacked me.
And I'm sure you did nothing to encourage him in the least.
Ladies and gentlemen, chute number five and our next rider, Ray Krebbs.
He's drawn a bull called Smokey.
Well, Smokey's another money bull, and Ray's a fine rider.
Going up over the back of the bucking chute he's down aboard that Brahma bull.
He's slipping his hand into that bull rope.
You'll notice the cowboy brand on the back.
He pulls up on the rope once, making the wrap on his hand.
That means he's about ready for his ride.
When you see Ray, get up close to that rope and watch him.
And number five is about to happen.
Here he comes, Ray on Smokey.
Hey, Smokey's throwing it all at him, Ray Krebbs.
And would you believe he just barely made it? Stay on forever, and then flat on my back in the mud.
- I know it all seems like great fun to you.
- It's not as dangerous as it looks.
Bobby.
God, I told you he'd show.
- Now what're we gonna do? - We get rid of him real fast.
Come on.
Mama.
Digger.
- Digger - It's all right, Pam.
I've told him he's welcome.
He shouldn't have come, Miss Ellie, he knows that.
Daughter, stop trying to run my life.
Pam, your daddy's one of my oldest friends.
He's come to see my grandchild, and I'm glad of it.
This ridiculous feud has got to end.
Now, I'm gonna look for Jock.
You all go in the house and wait for us.
Digger.
Out of chute number six, here comes Dennis Quigley on Blue Devil.
Dennis makes a pretty good ride all the way to the buzzer.
He's gonna score.
Looks like you might win after all.
- What're you gonna do with the prize? - Nothing in particular, I guess.
- Don't you care anything about money? - No.
Not really.
- You don't mind being poor? - I like it a lot better than being rich.
Rich? My folks own the Southern Cross Ranch.
The Southern Cross Ranch in San Angelo? - But that's worth - That's worth a lot.
Wait a minute.
I thought the Wayne family owned that.
My mama's name is Farlow.
Dusty Farlow.
But you spend most of your life drifting.
Why? Well, if I told you I was becoming someone I didn't like very much would you understand that? Yes.
I'd understand.
- I don't think we should talk anymore.
- Wait a minute, why? - People are beginning to notice.
- It didn't bother you a second ago.
Why's that? Why'd you like me better, you thought I was a down-and-out cowhand? Because you didn't have to take me seriously? Because I'm no threat to you? Because people who are poor are of no account? You can just dismiss them? - I've gotta go.
- Rich or poor, Sue Ellen, I am a person.
You're gonna have to take me into account.
I'm a man.
I'm a man you happen to like.
Admit it.
I admit it.
Would you calm down? Daddy, when Miss Ellie and Jock come back in please tell them that you're tired and you have to go.
I'm gonna wait and see my grandson.
You're leaving if I have to throw you over my shoulder and carry you off.
You wouldn't do that to an old man, now, would you? Daddy, you don't know what you're doing.
All I'm doing is waiting to see my grandson.
I'm telling you, I just wanna see him, then I'll go.
Well, I found him.
Hello, Digger.
- Jock.
- Ellie says you came by to congratulate us on our grandson.
I hope she's right.
I'd like to see the child if I may.
- You see, Jock? All right.
Come on.
I'll show him to you.
Here he is, Billy Boyd Conrad on Satan, into the pen right out of that gate but staying up there and doing all right.
He makes it all the way to that eight-second buzzer.
Scores a 73 on his ride.
- Hey.
- Well? - Well, I called her.
- And what'd she say? Oh, I don't know what's gonna happen.
I just know I learned to trust again.
Right now, that's good enough for me.
Thank you.
How about that? Man, ain't he something? May I? May I hold him? - Daddy.
- It's all right, Pam.
Wait till you hear him yell.
He's really got a set of lungs on him.
He's a Ewing through and through, I'll tell you.
What do you think, Digger? Doesn't he look like a Ewing to you? We almost lost him twice.
We expected to love him, but I don't think we knew till then just how much.
But he's J.
R.
's boy, all right.
He looks the way he did when he was a baby.
Yeah.
Just beautiful.
Yeah.
Beautiful baby.
Well, thanks for letting me hold him.
I'm really glad that you let me come and see him.
Hey there.
Hey there, buddy, how are you? You're gonna be a horseman, don't you worry about that.
Daddy.
Daddy, don't.
It's only one.
It's almost over.
- Almost.
- I meant the rodeo.
I didn't.
Please, it's not often something like this happens.
Let's not just throw it away.
I'm married.
Usually, that's a good excuse, but not this time.
You think I can't see how unhappy you are? I don't know.
I'm so confused.
I just need some more time.
Sue Ellen, I want a word with you, honey.
In private.
Sure thing.
Mrs.
Ewing it's been a real pleasure getting to know you.
Come on.
- Let go of me.
- Don't make a scene.
- Let go of me, J.
R.
- Don't make a scene.
I mean it.
Come on.
Quiet.
- Come on, Sue Ellen.
Come on, girlie.
- Let go of me, J.
R.
Not until you smile.
Smile for me just the way you did for that cowboy.
It can't be that hard.
Hell, I'm your husband.
I deserve something for that honor.
You deserve to fry in hell, J.
R! Why don't you pretend I'm that cowboy.
That ought to make you smile.
You disgust me! You want a woman? Why don't you go see if my little baby sister will oblige.
Maybe you're right, Sue Ellen.
I've wasted more than enough time on you, anyway.
Ladies and gentlemen it gives me great pleasure to announce the best all-around cowboy: Dusty Farlow!
