All language subtitles for Dallas s05e06 The Big Shut Down.eng

Morning, Bob.

How's Pam doing?

Well, I don't know.

I'm just on my way
in to see her now.

Bob, if there's anything
at all we can do...

I appreciate that, Ray, but...

I think it's all in
Dr. Conrad's hands now.

You be sure and
give her our love.

I'll do that. Bye.

Bye. Good-bye.

Hey. How about some coffee?

Yeah.

Pam was about the
last person in the world

I'd ever figure to
have a breakdown.

Yeah, I know.

I think we all kind
of underestimated

just how strong her
need for a child was.

You know, honey...

you and I have never
talked about having children.

Well, I wouldn't mind
having a cute little cowboy

that looked just like you.

But not right now.

That's fine with me.

Just don't make it too long.

Morning.

Good morning, Miss Ellie.
Good morning, Miss Ellie.

Did Bobby go?

He just went into
town to see Pam.

Well, I just got
a call from Jock.

He's catching an early
plane out of Washington.

He'll be arriving at the
airport in a little over 2 hours.

Oh, that's great.

We'll just go on out and
bring him home, then.

Well, he's not coming
home. It's just a short layover.

He's on his way to South
America sooner than he expected.

Well, how come?

Well, he... he couldn't talk much.
He was running for the plane.

I know he'd like to see all the
boys. I wonder where J.R. is.

Now, do you gentlemen
understand the terms?

We understand the
terms, J.R., but...

they just don't seem
to make any sense.

You want $200 million
for 30 days at 12% interest.

You must be kidding, J.R.

You know what interest
rates are these days.

We're in the business of lending
money to make money, J.R.

We don't stand to make
anything on a deal like this.

Well, you have the Ewing name

and 5 million barrels of
oil to back up the loan.

Plus, you got the goodwill of
Ewing Oil in future transactions.

Now, gentlemen, that
is worth some money.

And you're going to
stockpile that oil? Is that it?

Yeah, for a while.

Then I'm going to
unload in about 10 days,

and that's when you
get your money back.

I'm sorry, J.R., but this loan
is just too big for us to handle.

Now, you know how much
we value your business, but...

the most we'd consider
taking is 100 million.

Well, that's just
not good enough.

I used up all the
Ewing cash reserves

to get the ball
rolling on this deal.

Now, gentlemen, you're going to have to
come up with something better than that.

I mean, after all, you are the
three biggest banks in Dallas.

Well, I didn't want to let
you down, J.R., so, uh...

I made some calls, and I reached
someone who might be interested

in taking the other 100 million.

Anybody I know?

Vaughn Leland.

I didn't know you
were still in Dallas.

J.R.

Yeah.

You got all those legal
problems settled, did you?

Oh, yes. Yes, yes.

I'm with the Gulf States
Bank and Trust in Houston.

Congratulations.

Well, thanks to
that Asian oil deal,

I was able to
make full restitution

to the Cattleman's Bank, here,

so all the charges
have been dropped.

And you have a bank
to run down in Houston.

Well, how about that, huh?

Well, J.R., I've got
a lot of good friends.

We all want to get Vaughn's
opinion of the loan, J.R.

We discussed it among ourselves,
and if he's for it, then so are we.

Well, that pretty well puts you
in the catbird seat, doesn't it?

Oh, well, now, J.R., you
cut me in on that Asian deal.

Now let me see
what I can do for you.

Gentlemen, I'd like to go
over those details once more.

I've let you down, Bobby.

The thought keeps
going around in my head.

Pam, all I want is
for you to get better.

I can't get better.

Nobody can fix
what's wrong with me.

Of course they can.

If I went away, you'd
find someone else...

someone who could
give you a family.

Pam, you're all
the family I need.

Pam...

Pam, I'll see you tomorrow.

I love you.

Good afternoon, J.R.

Messages?

Your mother called.

She was on her way out to
the airport to meet your father.

Oh? How long ago?
Maybe I can still catch her.

No, it's way too late.

She said your father only had
about an hour layover between planes.

She's probably on
her way home by now.

Now, why didn't you call me?

Well, I did, but
Mr. Horner's secretary said

he wasn't taking any calls.

Well, I know you're new here,

but for your future reference,

there's nothing more
important than my daddy.

Oh, J.R.?

Mr. Williamson called.

Get him on the phone!

Yeah?

Mr. Williamson on one.

Hello, Chuck. What's going on?

J.R., I've got another million
barrels of Clayton Farlow's oil

I can ship as soon
as I have the cash.

All right, you'll have a check
before the end of the week.

You sure?

Because if you don't take it,

the oil goes to Farlow.

Chuck, I'm a man of my word.

OK. Bye.

How's Pam?

Well, that's a little
difficult to talk about,

but thank you for asking.

Thank you.

Senator Harbin first.

Senator Ewing's office.

Who?

A Mr. Farraday?

I'll take it.

Excuse me.

This is Bobby Ewing.

You got the $2,000?

Yes. Now, tell me about
the baby. Where is it?

The baby's being taking
care of by a friend of mine.

I've only got
your word for that.

Well, that'll have
to do for now.

You know the
esplanade at Fair Park?

Yeah. Now, what do
I get for my $2,000?

You meet me at 10:00
tomorrow morning.

I'll wait 5 minutes, no longer.

I'll be there.

Uh, one more thing.

If I see anything
suspicious, I won't show.

I'll be alone.

OK.

Pam?

Your sister's here.

Katherine?

Hi.

I'll leave you two alone.

Well, you're so beautiful.

Yeah. You are, too.

Wow, I-I'm so embarrassed to...

be meeting you here.

Oh, you shouldn't be.

We are sisters.

It is kind of hard to
believe, seeing you.

I'm so glad you came.

Yeah. So am I.

Uh, the doctor said I
shouldn't tire you out, but...

I did want to meet you, and
I'm leaving Dallas tomorrow.

Well, you can't.

Uh, I don't understand.

Well, I want to get to know you.

All these years, I never
knew I had a sister.

Well, we'll have other
times to catch up.

I wanted to know
what it was like

growing up with Mama around.

Yeah.

Mr. Leland is here.

All right, send him right in.

Hey, Vaughn, right on time!

Oh. Hey, buy you a drink?

Well, I wouldn't mind, J.R.

Say, you know, I am
really looking forward

to doing business
with you again.

Yes, well, I'm not so sure

we can do business
with you, J.R.

Oh, I didn't get that impression

from this morning's meeting.

Oh, well, I've had a
chance to think things over,

and I just can't quite
see the advantage

to giving you a 12%
loan for 30 days.

You know, Vaughn, I assure you,

there will be advantages.

Besides, why should
I help you, J.R.?

You caused me quite
a bit of embarrassment.

Well, I think I can find a way

to make that embarrassment
a thing of the past.

I mean, I had to leave Dallas.

My wife left me, you know.

Yes, I know.

Well, I can sympathize
with that, that's for sure.

Vaughn, uh, I-I'm willing
to do most anything

to convince you of my
friendship, I really am.

Oh, now that you need
me, you talk about friendship,

but where were you
when the law was after me?

Well, now, wait a minute.
You got out of that just fine.

Because of me, you
made quite a little profit

off those southeast
Asian oil wells.

You do remember that, don't you?

All right, I'll grant you that.

But, uh, I just can't quite
see what I have to gain

by doing business
with you again, J.R.

Give me 24 hours.

I'll show you what a
good friend I can be.

24 hours.

It better be spectacular, J.R.,

or it's no loan.

I'll tell you, Jock's
biggest concern

was leaving Miss
Ellie for so long.

I told him not to
worry about me.

But we'll manage just
fine until he gets back.

Well, Dave Culver.
How you doing?

Hello, J.R. I flew
down with your daddy.

Oh, yeah. Mama, I'm
sorry I-I missed you,

there just wasn't
time, that's all.

I know, it was very fast.

I still don't see why
Mama couldn't go

with Daddy down there.

Jock wouldn't hear of it.

The political situation

in the neighboring
countries is unstable.

Jock was worried about
Miss Ellie being alone.

He'd be in the backcountry
for weeks at a time, then.

Well, how long will he be gone?

I don't know, Lucy.

The U.S. government has
given Jock a big job to do.

With the Middle
East so volatile,

the government is looking for as
many new sources of supply as possible.

Jock's helping to set
up a whole industry.

Oil drilling is new to
those people down there.

Daddy must feel like he's
back in his wildcatting days.

Yeah, it's quite a
challenge for him.

All the excitement of
pioneering a new frontier.

Well, J.R., the reason
I came back to Dallas

was to recruit other
oil men to join Jock.

How about it?

Do your country a big favor.

Oh, I'd like to, Dave, I
really would, but, uh...

somebody's got
to mind the store.

You see, my daddy and I
handed the reins of Ewing Oil

over to an amateur once before

and almost lost the
whole shooting ranch.

J.R... Bobby,
J.R., that's enough.

I think it's time
to go into dinner.

Good idea.

Hi. You ready to go?

In a minute.

I'm trying to find
some new recipes.

When Jock was here, the
family sat down to dinner at 6:00.

But with Pam in the
hospital and Sue Ellen gone,

everyone just wanders
in whenever they want to.

I don't know how to figure.

What is the word on Pam?

Well, it doesn't
sound good, Donna.

She may be in
therapy a long time.

Miss Ellie, do you
think it's a good idea

for us to go shopping for bedroom
furniture for Pam? I mean, I...

I think it's a
wife's prerogative,

and I just don't
want her to think

that we're trying to take
something away from her.

Bobby told me the exact
pieces she had in mind.

He thinks it'll give her a
lift when she comes home.

I think you just want
to get out of the house.

You're right. I do.

I feel at loose ends.

Except for that
stupid fight we had,

Jock and I haven't
been apart much

during the last 45 years.

Of course, there
was the war, but that,

that seemed different somehow.

Everyone's man was gone.

I never thought of you
as being so dependent.

Hmm.

I don't think of it
as being dependent.

What is it?

Sharing a life.

That's what
marriage is all about.

I see it as being so
much in love, you want...

you want to be near your
man as much as possible.

And you never
tire of his company.

Even sit side by side for
hours, never saying a word,

and you feel wonderful
just because you're together.

Do you think we can get
out of this damned house?

Donna, you and...

you and Ray aren't
doing too well, are you?

It's not that.

Oh, Miss Ellie, he's
just so worried about

measuring up to me
and to the Ewings.

He's changing.

Somehow, I just get
this strange feeling

the marriage is not
always gonna stay good.

Nobody stays the
same in a marriage.

You can only hope that
when the other one changes,

that you can accept that change.

Thank you.

Vaughn.

Lloyd. I'm sure glad you
could make it. Sit down.

Well, I've only got a
couple of minutes, Vaughn,

but I'm very glad
that you called.

How have you been?

Couldn't be better.

Can I get you something?

You still take
your whiskey neat?

Yes, and I have time
for one quick one.

And you can hit me
again, too, honey. I'm ready.

You seem to have recovered
from your troubles rather well.

Oh, I have, very nicely.

I'm based down in Houston now.

It sounded to me on the phone

like you might need a favor.

I do, Lloyd.

I'm negotiating a very big loan,

and I am in need of one of those

famous Lloyd Bettinger
predictions on the prices of oil.

You know that, uh,

I don't publish that
industry newsletter anymore,

not since I went to work
for, uh, Five State Petroleum.

Yes, I know that.
And that's too bad.

There are as many
predictions about oil

as there are oil
companies in Texas.

Yes, but I always had a
great deal of faith in yours.

OK.

As I see it, we're in
a very volatile market.

But in the long run,
the price is going to rise.

Huh.

What about the short run?

I mean, say, about 30 days?

Stable for the
next 10 to 15 days.

After that, I
expect a price drop,

maybe a big one.

So if, uh, a man were
sitting on, say, about, uh,

5 million barrels of oil,

hoping to unload it all
in about a month, uh,

he could be in serious trouble.

Vaughn, if I'm right,

and some guy is stockpiling
5 million barrels of oil

at today's prices,

he'd better be prepared to hold
on to that for at least a year, or...

to unload that in 2 weeks, or...

he may just find himself
on the way to the poorhouse.

You don't say?

Vaughn, I got to run.
Now, you give me a call.

Sure thing. We'll have dinner.

Say, honey, uh, could you
bring me a phone, please?

Here.

Oh, thank you.

Ewing Oil.

Uh, yes. This is, uh,
Vaughn Leland calling.

Is Mr. J.R. Ewing there, please?

One moment, Mr. Leland.

Hello, Vaughn?

Oh, J.R., I wonder if we
could meet a little later.

Yeah, sure.

See, I've been giving

very serious consideration
to your proposition,

and, uh, there's just a
few little nagging doubts

that you may be able
to clear up for me.

I'll give you a call.

Fine.

Mr. Ewing.

Well, you took your
sweet time in getting here.

Oh, I've been here. I
just had to make sure

that you weren't,
uh, with somebody.

Kristin told me you were the
brother who could be trusted.

I had to see for myself.

Well, just what
were you to Kristin?

Her old man... lover,
after she got to California.

I saw her through her pregnancy.

The baby was with
me when she, uh, died.

So what does all this mean?

You got the money?

Just what am I
supposed to be buying?

Information about Kristin's son.

Frankly, I'm tired of
paying for the child support

and having him taken care of.

You could return him
to his proper family.

What does that mean?

It means his father
is here in Dallas.

And you know him.

All right.

Just a minute.

There's more. There's
copies of checks he sent.

I tried to get to him,
but he wouldn't see me.

I don't think you'll
have any problems.

Now, wait a minute.

I'll call you.

A couple of days.

Boys, I am awful sorry I'm late.

I was going to call you, Punk.

I just got out of a long meeting
with Senator Dave Culver.

What's that all about?

Well, the senator
just talked me into

going down to South
America and working

on that big oil
project with Jock.

Well, that's great.

I know Jock'll be
glad to see you.

Problem is, I've got no time.

I got to get out
of here tomorrow.

Tomorrow?

The government wants
that project moving

just as soon as possible.

We've got to have every friendly
source of supply we can get.

Well, what about our
deal with Walter here?

Walter, I'm gonna ask
you to let me out of this one.

I'm sorry.

I am, too. I was
counting on you, Punk.

But I understand.

Thank you.

Ray, there'll be a lot more
deals when I get back.

Sure, Punk.

Just have a good trip.

Give my love to Jock.

I'll do that.

Have a safe trip,
Punk, and good luck.

Well, I guess that's that.

Maybe the 3 of us can get
together some other time.

Just a minute.

Walter, you think you could
hold off on making a deal

with that land of yours
with somebody else for...

say, 48 hours?

You thinking of
going it alone, Ray?

Yes, sir, I am.

Afton, it's very important
to me that he likes you.

I know, but I don't even know
him. Maybe he won't like me.

Of course he will. You just
turn on that charm, honey.

You're a performer.

Perform.

It's different. I
don't like doing this.

No, it's not different.

It's exactly the same as what
you did for me with Cliff Barnes.

J.R., you were in
big trouble then.

Afton, you've been talking
about getting a better singing job

than the one you
have at the Stardrift.

I know, but... And
a recording contract.

A recording contract?

Are you sure?

Have I ever let you
down? Even once?

No.

All right, honey, you
take care of that banker,

and I'll take care of you.

Well, Vaughn!
How you doing? J.R.

I still don't understand why
you wanted us to meet here.

But I must say, I think
it's a splendid idea.

Vaughn Leland, this is Afton
Cooper, a very good friend of mine.

Well, I'm delighted to meet you.

Thank you. It's
nice to meet you.

Why don't you get
Vaughn a drink?

A... A neat scotch, isn't it?

Uh, yes.

Sit down, sit down.

Why don't we get down
to business right away?

Yes, let's do that, J.R.

All right, bottom line.

What's in it for me?

A very healthy finder's
fee for securing that loan.

And?

Oh, certain perks...
Delightful perks.

Well... J.R... We got a deal.

Good.

Hello.

Sue Ellen.

You were so
deep in thought, I...

I didn't know whether I
should interrupt or not.

Ah, no, no.

I like to ride up here
from time to time.

Old ranch house was just
down there, near those trees.

Big, rambling building.

That's where Steven was born.

What happened to the house?

I tore it down, brick by brick.

I even tore up the foundation,

had the ground planted over.

Why?

My wife, Amy, died there.

There was trouble at one of
the refineries, I was away...

Amy had been sick for some time.

I knew she didn't
have much time left.

I'll never forgive myself
for not being there.

When I got home,

I found out she'd
died the night before.

Clayton, I'm so sorry.

Steven was away,
too. One of his rodeos.

I just couldn't bear to live
in the house after that...

or even look at it.

I understand.

Oh, I guess I was foolish
and hasty, because...

I didn't erase anything.
Memory's still there in the land.

How in love you must have been.

I still am.

I know how you must have felt.

I felt the same way when
I thought I'd lost Dusty.

He was flying to see me,
and I felt so responsible.

You may be just the best thing
that's ever happened to Steven.

He couldn't settle down before,

and wasn't interested in
the business or the ranch.

And now that you're
here, I have him back.

Oh, a man needs a family,
Sue Ellen. Someone to care for.

You've made me so welcome.

And I love your son very much.

I sometimes think
that my presence

makes it harder to
live with his problem.

And if I thought that I was
hurting Dusty in any way, well,

I just couldn't stand it.

Steven has momentary lapses,
worrying about his injuries.

In time, he'll get over that.

I don't think you have
anything to worry about.

Now come on.

Let's ride back to the house.

John Ross must be up now,

yelling for attention, hmm?

OK.

Yes, Marie.

Your mother and sister are here.

OK. Send them right in.

Good morning, darling.

Good morning.

Hi.

You all on the
way to the airport?

Yes, I got to get
back to New York,

or my career in television news

will be over before it begins.

I tried to persuade her to stay.

Well, there's not that
much opportunity in Dallas

for what I want to do.

Have you tried?

Well, to be honest,
no, but, you know,

New York's really where
it's at in broadcasting.

I would like to stay, though.

With Pam so sick, you know, she
needs to know her family loves her.

You don't need to
worry about Pam.

Mom and I will visit her.

Although, I must admit,

I don't relish bumping into a
Ewing every time we go out there.

Cliff, the only Ewings who ever
come to see Pam are Bobby and Ellie.

I can understand why
Pam fell in love with Bobby.

Ha. I'm sure you can.

I must say it wasn't the
greatest day in my life.

Cliff, I don't want a replay of
your problems with the Ewings.

Besides, if we don't hurry,
we're going to miss the plane.

You know what the traffic's like
on the expressway in the mornings.

You know, everything in
this office looks so different.

I guess 'cause I was 3
feet high last time I saw it.

No, I don't think so.
It's probably because

I just had the whole
place redecorated.

No, I remember.

Daddy had an antique
cabinet right there.

It was wood with a bold grain,
probably oak or something.

Right, you're right, yeah.

I had it moved out because I...
I just like kind of an openness.

But it was so beautiful, Cliff.

It's in the storeroom.

If you want it, it's yours.

No, I'm just surprised
you moved it.

It always seemed
to belong right there.

Well, Mother, let's go.

Y'all have a safe trip.

I'll call you later.

Morning, J.R.

Franklin, are you
foot-dragging on me?

Now, you said if Vaughn
Leland picks up half this deal,

you're going to pick
up the other half.

Well, he and I have a
deal, so what's going on?

What I told you still goes,
J.R., but we can't move

until we've gotten the
confirmation from Vaughn.

I don't like the way
you're handling this.

I have a big oil
shipment to pay for.

Just as soon as Vaughn calls,

we'll transfer the 100
million to the Ewing account.

And I want that money
in a special account,

kept separate from
the Ewing cash reserve.

Well, there isn't much left
in that cash reserve, J.R.

That's temporary.

Well, that may be so, but...

Franklin... you worry too much.

Dr. Conrad?

May I call you Dagmara?

Yes, of course.

Dagmara. That's a pretty name.

Thank you.

But, Pam, we're
here to talk about you.

Well, I know. That's the thing.

I really feel that I'm
wasting your time.

Why do you feel that way?

Well, because I feel fine.

I think I made a mistake
coming to the hospital.

When your husband was visiting,
you became very depressed.

Do you know why?

I was in a mood.
We all have moods.

Do you have any idea
what caused this mood?

Well, I don't know.

Maybe it was John Ross.

Who's John Ross?

Well, John Ross is my
nephew, Sue Ellen's son.

See, when Sue Ellen
first came to Southfork,

she didn't want
anything to do with him.

So I took care of him.

I changed him, and
I used to hold him.

And what happened?

Well, he's gone now.

Sue Ellen left Southfork,

and J.R., my brother-in-law,
didn't want her to have the child,

so I took him to her. I feel a
child should be with its mother,

and I was right, because
Sue Ellen was happy.

No one ever did that for me.

What do you mean?

All the years I was growing up,

I thought my mother was dead.

I only found out a year ago
that my mother was alive.

I see.

Pam, tell me how
you feel right now.

Well, I always thought that if I
found my mother, it would help...

Help in the loneliness
that I've always felt.

And?

I love her, but I
still feel so empty.

Why do you think
you feel that way?

Maybe if I had a child
of my own, I wouldn't.

And if that's not possible?

Well, then, what's the use?

What do you mean?

Of living?

Yes, Camille.

He's still out.

Let me talk to his secretary.

Hello.

Hello, Senator Ewing.
What can I do for you?

You can let me talk to him.

I'm sorry. He's still out.

He's picked up my
messages, hasn't he?

Yes.

Well, you tell him from me
that he better return my calls,

'cause if I have to
come over there,

it's going to prove
real embarrassing.

I'll tell him, Senator Ewing.

Thank you.

Lucy! Over here!

Hi, Bev.

Hello, Scott. Hi.

Isn't this a fabulous party?

It sure is.

Hey, can I get you
girls something to drink?

Thanks. I'll have a ginger ale.

Nothing for me
right now, thanks.

Is this a special occasion?
Should I have brought a present?

Oh, no. Sandy's parents have
some friends in from back east,

and Sandy's college
roommate is here,

so they decided
to throw a party.

Great. Where is Sandy?
I should say hello.

I saw her over near the
tennis courts. I'll go with you.

OK.

Isn't that Mitch talking
with Sandy's father?

Yes.

Bev, was this your
idea, to get him here?

No. I didn't even know
they knew each other.

What is Mitch doing at a
party with all these rich people?

He hates this kind of thing.

Honestly, doctor,

I'd always thought
of plastic surgery

as an excuse to make money.

Well, you know differently now.

I've got to admit, what
you said impressed me.

Good. Hello.

Lucy.

Hello, Lucy.

Oh, do you two know each other?

Sort of. We're married.

Oh.

You're that Cooper. I...
I never put that together.

Uh...

I suppose you two
have a lot to talk about.

Enjoy the party.

Thank you.

Thanks.

Mitch, what are you doing here?

I was invited.

I know, but how do
you know Dr. Waring?

I thought you hated this
kind of a party. I mean...

I don't understand.

Where's Lucy?

She's with her husband.

Her husband?

If he's here, then
what am I doing here?

Well, you can stay with me.

Where's my ginger ale?

I drank it.

You can get me another one.

This time you come with me.

I told Dr. Waring I'd
give it some thought.

Well, if you intern
at this hospital,

that means you'll be
staying here in Dallas.

Yes.

That's wonderful!

What made you change your mind

about going into research?

Well, Dr. Waring's
very convincing,

and the idea of
staying in Dallas

is very appealing to me.

Mitch...

Are you doing this because
it's really what you want,

or because you think it'll
give our marriage a chance?

Both.

Look, honey, I know you.

Your career means everything.

No, no, it doesn't
mean everything.

You see, I realize that now.

But, Lucy, let's not rush
into anything, you see,

because even if I choose
plastic surgery as my specialty,

I'll never be a Ewing.

I don't want that.

I just want us to
be good together.

I know.

Ray?

Ray?

Can I come in?

I'm just trying to figure out

how I can handle
this deal with Sherr.

Well, maybe I can help.
You want to talk about it?

Well, you've got that manuscript
of Sam's book to finish.

No. I just got a few
commas here and there,

and then I'm all finished.

Donna, I, uh...

I know you haven't
been too happy

about me going into this
development business.

That's not true.

I just worried about your
reasons for going into it.

Whether you were trying to
prove to Jock and to yourself

that you really are a Ewing.

Hey, I'm selfish.

I just don't want to lose
that cowboy I fell in love with.

Now, you've got it all wrong.

I mean, I like the
wheeling and dealing.

I like seeing something
come together.

I like the idea that I can
make a lot of money out of this.

It makes me feel
good about myself.

Well, I loved you as a cowboy.

I can love you as a developer.

I guess it's just
that part of me that...

wants to mother you doesn't
want to see you run so fast

that you fall down
and skin your knees.

That'll never happen.

I learned a lot from
Jock and Punk.

OK.

What do you do want
to do about Mr. Sherr?

Well, I may not be
able to do anything.

I got a half a million
from the last deal I was in.

I can't touch the trust fund
that Jock set up for me,

and I don't think the bank's

going to loan me enough
money to go in on this deal.

Well...

How about if you
got another partner?

Who?

Jock and Punk are
down in South America.

Pat's already involved
in two other deals.

I just can't think of
anybody else I could trust.

You trust me, don't you?

I can't do that, Donna.

Why? Why not?

I mean, why go to the bank

when you could have a partner

you could keep your
eye on day and night?

I don't know.

Marriage and business
just don't usually mix.

Well, sure, they do.

What about Nick
and Nora Charles?

Who?

What about Mr. and Mrs. North?

George Burns and Gracie Allen?

Donna... Ray, look,

I'd be a silent partner.

Honey, we got all this
money in the family.

Why not use it?

It's your money.

It's our money.

Deal?

Deal.

Hello.

How are you, my love?

How are you?

Hello, Miss Ellie.

Mrs. Ewing.

Hello, Mr. Farlow.

Come on inside,
have a cool drink.

Oh, I left something on
the helicopter for John Ross.

Boys, bring in the
package in the helicopter.

Miss Ellie, you
didn't have to do that.

It's from Jock. He
got it in Washington.

Oh, well, how is Jock?

Oh, he's in South America.

South America?

What's he doing
in South America?

Well, he's on a mission
for the government.

There's a new oil find, and
several American oil men

have been sent down to help out,

to help them build
a new oil industry.

That sounds exciting.

Like the old days here in Texas.

Oh, how Jock loved
the wildcatting days.

Oh, those were frontier
days, Mrs. Ewing.

There's no new
frontiers left to challenge.

Maybe when they, uh, get
around to needing a refinery,

they'll give me a call.

Hello, Mrs. Ewing.

Hello, Dusty.

Excuse us for a moment.

Dad, I'd like to
talk to you alone.

Sure.

Nice to see Grandma.

John Ross! Hi!

What is it?

The Galveston
refinery just called.

They said they haven't
received the latest shipment.

Well, that's strange.
Williamson's always on time.

Well, I just called Williamson to find
out why he hadn't sent the shipment.

He's on vacation,
he can't be reached,

and I can't find anybody
to tell me what's going on.

Well, if we don't get a
shipment in a few days,

we're going to be out of crude.

And that hasn't happened
since the oil embargo.

Come on, let's go find
out what the hell's going on.

Yes.

Mr. Leland is here.

Bring him in.

Oh, thank you, darling. Vaughn!

J.R.

Shall we get right down to it?

Oh, absolutely.

Hey, you know, J.R.,

this is the biggest deal
we've made since...

you bought those
southeast Asian oil fields.

Oh, I'm so glad you made
a pile on that. I really am.

Yeah, it was a little
hairy there for a while,

and maybe I said
some things I shouldn't.

It's all in the past.

How about Afton?

You've been seeing
a little bit of her?

Oh, say, she is a
gorgeous little thing.

Yeah.

Little bit cool, though.

Cool? Afton?

Well, I find that
hard to believe.

Ah, don't you
worry about a thing.

You just hang in
there. She'll warm up.

Where do you want me to sign?

Right there where
those little Xs are.

All right.

Mm-hmm.

Now I have to tell
you, J.R., that, uh...

any time after 30 days, now, uh,

this loan is due and payable.

Mm-hmm, I know that.

Well, I hope for your
sake the price of oil rises

so you can unload all
that you have in storage.

Well, there's no way I'm going
to get stuck with 5 million barrels.

I mean, if my bank
has to foreclose,

that could be the
end of Ewing Oil.

Your bank's not going
to have to foreclose.

Let me put it this way.

If I default on that loan,
which I'm not going to do,

that means that your
bank owns Ewing Oil,

and I end up working for you.
