Sorry we're late.

I want you all to meet Mitch's mom.
This is Mrs. Cooper.

- And his sister Afton.
- Hello.

We won't have to buy
anything for a few years.

Now. If marrying Lucy means I've gotta be
tied into the Ewing family...

and all this money.
Then I'm not so sure I want that. Either.

One of us is slipping.
And I don't think it's me.

No one has ever made love to me
out of pity. Lt's not going to start now.

You help to make this deal work...

and I won't forget when
you're running Ewing Oil again.

Oh. I'll be back
running Ewing Oil real soon.

Hey. Morning. Bobby. Fill her?

Yeah. Red. If you would. Please.

Say. How's J.R. getting along these days?
Is he feeling all right?

Yeah. He's on the mend. Thank you.
How's yourself?

Oh. I can't complain.

Of course. The way gas is going up. I'm
not exactly everybody's favorite person.

Folks think I set the prices.

At least you're selling
for less than the majors.

- Hey. Is the coffee on?
- Yeah. Right inside. Help yourself.

Thank you. Bud.

Lucy. You look beautiful.

Thank you.

Does Granddaddy know
I'm wearing your wedding gown?

He wouldn't hear of you
wearing anything else.

That dress has been waiting
a long time for you.

My daddy had a woman come all the way
from Paris with the material for it.

And money was hard
for him to come by in those days.

But he was very determined
to show those oilmen...

that a Southworth wouldn't be
put to shame.

What about Granddaddy?

He was something.

All decked out in formal clothes.

He would have felt better
in boots and jeans.

He kept tugging at his collar
trying to breathe.

He was the handsomest man
I'd ever seen.

Still is.

I believe my wedding day was
the most wonderful day of my life.

All those bridesmaids. All those ushers.

And hundreds and hundreds of people.

I can close my eyes and still think
that I'm reliving it all over again.

Well. Ours was a different setting.

A justice of the peace
in New Orleans city hall.

We were both scared to death.

Bobby Ewing marrying
Digger Barnes' daughter.

Well. When I was first married. My daddy
didn't like Jock any better than Digger did.

There comes a time when you
have to let your family know...

who really has the last
word in suitable husbands.

Is that really true. Grandma?

Well. We would all like
to think so anyway.

I don't know.
Mitch is so darn stubborn.

All he ever thinks about is going
to medical school and studying.

Well. Lucy. You should consider
yourself very lucky.

Ambition is a fine quality
to have in a man.

Isn't it. Pamela?

I suppose so. If the ambition doesn't
become an obsession.

Well. I'm not sure I would have loved Jock
as much if he'd been different.

All our men are ambitious.

Except for my daddy.
And he's doing just fine.

That's true. Lucy.

But Gary has other qualities
that make him special.

Very special.

Well. I'd better go to work.
I'm gonna be late.

- Bye-bye.
- Bye. Pam.

Bye.

- Morning. Bobby.
- Morning.

Jordan Lee called
a few minutes ago.

Wants to set a meeting for this afternoon
and get your signature on the contracts.

- Attorneys look at these?
- They said they're fine.

Morning. Bobby.
J.R. is waiting for you in your office.

- J.R.
- Bobby.

Now. This is a little awkward.
But I think we should talk.

All right. Talk.

Well. I came in here to see
if I can help you out any way I can.

Help me out of what?

Daddy investing that money
you'd set aside for the Jordan Lee deal...

hell. I know that left you
in a tough position.

For which I'm sure I have you to thank.

Now. That was Daddy's decision.

Well. Anyway. What I'm getting to is.
Now that you can't go in on the deal...

Ewing Oil is not gonna look too good.

Well. J.R.. it won't be the first
time that's happened. Will it?

I know how you feel about
running the company by yourself.

And I don't want to interfere.

But I think it's time that we put
our personal feelings aside...

and pull together for the good
of the company. I'm here to help.

Well. I'd like you to know that if I decide
I need your help. I'll be sure and call.

Right now. I'm real busy.

Well. Like I said.
I don't want to interfere.

I think I'll get myself a little lunch.

My point is, how soon
can we get the permits?

I hear that Dave Culver is trying
to save Takapa from all of us developers.

Oh. He's just doing that for publicity
to make himself look good with the voters.

Besides. Nobody knows
we're behind this deal.

Cliff Barnes has got
his hooks in him pretty good.

Not that he knows I'm in on it.
But he could cause us trouble.

I hear old Barnes has his hooks
into Sam's widow.

Yeah. And she's got Dave's ear.

There's no way a sensible woman
like Donna would cotton to Cliff Barnes.

They're just do-gooders
trying to get votes.

The point is. It's gonna take them too long
to get the support that they need.

We'll have enough grease around
with the commission...

to get approved before
those ecologists know what hit them.

- Now. I'll drink to that.
- I think we all better drink to that. Punk.

I may not make it back for another
hour or two. Connie.

Well, it's pretty quiet here now.

But I wish you'd hurry back
in case Bobby needs me.

I'm sure what J.R. has me doing is just as
important as what's happening at the office.

All right. Bye.

What did she say
was going on at the office?

It's very quiet.

You know. It's funny.

When I first started to work for you.
I never thought that we'd be...

You know.

Well. These things take time.

I never appreciated all your marvelous
qualities until... Until recently.

But sometimes I feel like. You know. It's
not right because I'm married and all...

Hey. Now. It's not your fault
your husband's on the road all the time.

- I know. But...
- Well. I don't think he appreciates you.

Leastways. Not like I do.

All those weeks you kept
me informed...

as to what was happening
at the office when I was gone...

that was invaluable to me.

I'm doing it because I think you should be
running Ewing Oil. Not Bobby.

Well. I thank you for that.

I think you're gonna have a tough time
convincing Connie of it, however.

I can't even talk to Connie about Bobby.

I think she's got a thing for him.

- They spend a lot of time together?
- Not the way she'd like.

He's so busy being the big boss that he
doesn't have time for anything else.

I don't know how his wife can handle it.

Well. She may be getting him back
sooner than she thinks.

Especially if you keep old J.R. informed
as to what's happening at the office.

You just tell me what you want.
And I'll do it.

- Hi.
- Hi.

- I was trying to reach you earlier.
- I'm sorry.

Lucy was having a fitting for her wedding
gown. I didn't realize how late it was.

That's no problem. I just wanted
to tell you about a lunch date.

A lunch date?
Liz. I'm sorry. I forgot.

No. No. No.
It just came up this morning.

Alex Ward called.

He's thinking about doing another
theme feature on The Store...

and he wants to have lunch
to discuss it.

Well. I don't think I can.
I've got an awful lot of work to do.

I've got that Houston show...

and the materials are coming
in from Newport today.

Are you ducking Alex?

Well. I think it's best
if I don't see him right now.

My life isn't running all that smoothly.
And he wants to complicate it.

Fair enough.

- I'll take care of the lunch.
- Thank you.

He's a mighty persistent man though.

- That he is.
- I'll talk to you later.

Yes?
Jordan Lee and his attorney are here.

Show them in.

- Bobby.
- Jordan. Good to see you.

- You know Mark Harrelson.
- I do indeed.

Come on in and sit down.

- You have Bennett check out the contracts?
- Yes. I did.

He said they're in fine shape.
And I've signed them all.

Do you have the advance payment?

A check for $50,000.

That goes into the escrow account
while we do our core sampling.

The balance of money delivered
on demand or at start of drilling.

Of course. We're probably talking about two
maybe three months before that happens.

I understand.

You're not making a mistake. Bobby.

I can feel this one. This is gonna be
a big moneymaker for all of us.

Jordan. I'm just glad we're back
doing business with the cartel.

Well. As long as it's you and not J.R.

I'm not interested in doing
any more business with your brother.

Thank you.

- Well. I'll keep in touch. Bobby.
- All right. Jordan.

Mr. Ewing.

Shouldn't you have told Jordan
you don't have the money?

He never would have signed the deal.

But what do you do when you have
to come up with the balance?

Well. I have two or three months.

I'll come up with the money somehow.

I was having lunch with Punk Anderson
at the Cattlemen's Club today...

- and I heard something interesting.
- What's that. Dad?

It seems Jordan Lee and
a bunch of the old boys in the cartel...

are putting together
a drilling venture in the Gulf.

Well. Is that so?

I guess they weren't hurt as bad
as they said from that Asian deal.

Well. Maybe not.

Fact is. I felt kind of bad
when I heard about it.

In the old days. We'd have
all been at it together.

We are in it together. Daddy.

What's that mean. Bobby?

Jordan asked me in on the deal.
We're in for $12 million.

Well. If you had enough money
to go into a deal with Jordan Lee...

how come you were all over Daddy
when he invested in a project?

That's the money
I needed for Jordan.

- Then we're not in the deal with Jordan.
- I said. We're in.

- Where are you gonna get all that money?
- I'm working on it.

What do you mean. Working on it?

Daddy. I got two or three months
to come up with it.

You telling me you signed a deal
with the cartel, without the money...

- and no idea where to get it from?
- I said. I've got time to come up with it.

How come the company is
in such bad shape...

that my taking 10 million
put you in such a tight squeeze?

Daddy. The company's not in bad shape. Lt's
in good shape, just not in liquid assets.

I can't believe you'd go into any deal
without the money to back it up.

Look. I...

Hold on. Fighting is
not gonna do a bit of good.

After all. Bobby got us back
into the cartel.

Hell. Raising $12 million
takes no time.

Oh. Yeah. Sure.
Three months is a world of time.

Lot of things can happen in three months.

I'll come up with the money. Daddy.

I know you will.

You know. If we're gonna meet your mom
and your sister at the airport tomorrow...

I'd better get home and get some sleep.

In a minute.

Do you think they'll like me?

Well. You're from
a whole different world.

Once they get to know you for who you are.
They'll like you just fine.

I'm so nervous. I've thought
all day about what I should wear.

Make it simple.
That's how they're gonna be.

Of course.

By the way. I got them rooms
at the Fairview Hotel.

- Why did you do that?
- Well. They certainly can't stay here.

I mean. There's barely enough room
for you to move around.

Well. I grew up in a place half this size.

I don't even know whether my mom
stayed in a hotel room in her life.

- Well. Then it's about time she did.
- No. They stay here.

Now. Lucy. It was really nice of you
to do that. But I know them.

They'll feel more comfortable here.

I'm gonna stay at Rod Dexter's
down the hall.

Well. I can't wait till we get married...

and get a place of our own that has
enough room that we can move around in.

I'm gonna tell you just one more time.

This is what I can afford.
And this is where we're gonna live.

Don't be silly.

I'll see you tomorrow.

Come here.

- Good morning.
- Well. Hello.

You were up early this morning.

I went for a drive.

I haven't been sleeping too well lately.

I know.

Want help?

No. No. Nobody can help.

Just a lot of things going on.
Problems I have to solve.

There was a time when you
discussed your problems with me.

Or is it now all your problems have
to do with running Ewing Oil...

and you don't think I'll understand?

Of course not. Honey.
You know how I value your opinion.

Oh. Really?

Well. Sure. These are just things
I have to work out on my own.

Fine. Bobby. You do that.

Pamela.

We all have problems.

I thought it would help
if we tried to solve them together.

- Do I look all right?
- Yeah. You look fine.

- Are you sure?
- Yeah. Yes.

- Really?
- Oh, there they are.

- Hi!
- Oh. Mitch!

- Oh. Just let me look at you.
- Well?

Oh. This is Lucy. Lucy. This is my mother
and my sister. Afton.

Hi. Mrs. Cooper.
So very nice to meet you. Hi. Afton.

It's just such a pleasure
to make your acquaintance.

- Mitch wrote so much about you.
- Nothing good.

Oh. Mitchell. Now. You stop that.

He said nothing
but nice things about you.

- Looks like he didn't say enough.
- Well. Thank you.

Oh. Come on.
She's spoiled enough already.

No. I'm not.

- You really have all that money?
- Afton!

Just wanted to know.

Well. I don't. But my family sure does.

Now. Lucy. No matter
what my son says...

there is absolutely no reason to feel
sorry about having a lot of money.

There's got to be a hundred other things
we could talk about besides money.

Why don't you tell us about the wedding?
I bet that's gonna be something.

Let's get the bags
or I'm gonna be late for school.

Why don't I drop you off, and then we'll
go on to your apartment. Okay?

- All right. Let's go.
- Good.

Since Mitch wrote us about the wedding.
I've been reading up on your family.

Oh. Don't blame them on me.

I'd like it if you could be
one of my bridesmaids.

- Oh. You would?
- Yeah. Don't you think it would be fun?

- I think that would be great.
- Okay.

Where you lead. Others follow.

As the conscience
of the great state of Texas...

I'm sure you recognize the reasons
for keeping the Takapa area...

the unspoiled wilderness that Texans
have enjoyed for generations.

Any further questions?

Mrs. Townsend?

With all the other state problems...

why is Senator Culver spending
so much time trying to save a swamp?

I think one of the things that we as Texans
have always prided ourselves on...

is the love of the land.

And it seems that lately...

there's been a surge
of developers moving in...

trying to turn us into
one vast multiplex.

Dave feels that it is vitally important
that we draw the line at Takapa.

He knows that what he's doing
may not be popular with some people.

But it's like his daddy.
Sam Culver, always said:

�Lt's easy to say yes with a crowd.
But it takes a real man to say no alone.�

Dave is saying no to developing Takapa.

I'm hoping you're not gonna let him
say no alone.

- Sue Ellen. You want a cup of coffee?
- No. Thank you. Miss Ellie.

I'll just get some club soda.
Do you want a drink?

No. Thanks.

- Miss Ellie.
- Donna. You're quite a speech maker.

- Sam would be proud of you.
- Lord knows I listened to enough of his.

But I think he would feel the same way
about this as Dave and I do.

Well. It's hard to disagree
with what you say.

You know. I'm... I'm really gonna
count on you for your support.

I know you have a lot
of influence around here.

Well. Not that much.
I wouldn't think.

But as soon as I have a little more time.
I'll do what I can.

Thank you.

Hello. Sue Ellen.

Cliff. I'm surprised to see you here.

Anything for a good cause.

You're looking good.

That's because I'm happy now.

You and J.R. must be getting along well.
Although I find that hard to believe.

Cliff. I'm sure that you find
many things hard to believe.

Nevertheless. We've never been happier.

I'm sorry. I shouldn't have said that.

I'm really glad that you are
getting along well.

And you and Donna?

The two of you seem very well-suited
for each other.

You finally found someone you can
talk power and politics with.

She's a remarkable lady.

Very bright. Very strong. Very caring.

Well. We both seem to have found
the best of all possible worlds.

You know. Everyone is doing
their very best trying not to notice us.

But they still are.

Our old sins take a long time to die.
Don't they?

Excuse me.

What are you doing home
so early. J.R.?

Well. There's not much for me
to do around the office.

I offered Bobby my help and he refused
so I just came home.

Hey. I got an idea.

Why don't you and I go into Braddock
and hit a few of the bars?

We haven't been drinking together
for a long time.

- Come on.
- You buying?

Who else?

That's a good idea, Dad.

I better take my car. I'll have to drive
when I drink you under the table.

If you'd like to make a little wager
on that. We'll just get to it.

- Five thousand dollars be all right?
- Chicken feed. Boy. Chicken feed.

I offered Bobby my help and he refused
so I just came home.

The income from the wells
and the refinery is more than enough...

to meet expenses
and show a nice profit.

- But we have a cash-flow problem.
- Well. Temporarily.

There is some cash. But not nearly enough
for what you need.

And there's very little else to sell
without interfering with oil production.

As I said. The company's
in good shape...

with the exception
of any major new expenditures.

So there's no way I can get my hands
on $12 million in a hurry?

That's it. Sorry. Bobby.

Well. That's all right, Tom.
I'll get it some way.

Sure.

You know. I thought by now I'd be
carrying you to the car.

- No way. Dad.
- You're all right, J.R. You're all right.

You stayed with me drink for drink.
Well. Damn near anyway.

Well. Somebody's gotta drive.

- Red. Where's my car?
- Right there.

- Hey. Red. Maybe you'd best drive us home.
- No. Thanks.

I was only joshing you anyway. Red.

Well. That's good. Because I sure don't
feel like doing any favors for the Ewings.

- What's the matter. Red?
- Nothing.

Well. You're mad at something.
What did we do?

Well. It ain't you. Jock. Or J.R.
lt's Bobby.

Oh. What did he do now?

You know. We always got our gas from that
old refinery way before Bobby bought it.

So?

So I was talking to Brady York.
The distributor.

Well. I know Brady.

Yeah. Well. Brady said Bobby
tried to raise the price $2 a barrel.

Everybody's raising prices.

They just want to offset
the price of crude.

It don't have nothing to do
with the cost of crude.

Well. What did he do it for?

To make more profit.

And I hear he was mighty unhappy
when he found out we wouldn't pay it.

Red. You're getting at something.
What is it?

You bet I'm getting at something.

Now the rumor is that Bobby's thinking about
cutting off our gas supply altogether.

Selling all of it to anybody
that will meet his price.

That would put me and the rest
of the independents right out of business.

Now. Hold on. Red.

Ewing Oil may be looking for profit...

but we pick on people our own size.
And you know it.

There's no way Bobby would do anything
to put you out of business.

We've been friends too long
for something like that. Red.

Yeah. Well. I have been hearing
rumors to the contrary.

Now. Let me tell you something.

If any son of mine ever did anything like
that. He'd be out of Ewing Oil so fast...

he wouldn't have time
to close the door behind him.

You got my word for that. Red.

Well. That's mighty good to hear. Jock.

Well. You got my promise.

Imagine Bobby doing something like that?

- I'll look into it myself. Dad.
- See you. Red.

- J.R.
- Jeremy. How are you doing?

It's been a long time
since I've been up here.

I think the last time
was that big poker game.

If I remember correctly. You walked away
with most of the chips too. Didn't you?

- What about a drink? What do you say?
- A little early for me. J.R.

Why don't we get down to it?

Why did you call and suggest
that we meet here. Of all places?

Well. I thought we might have
a little private talk.

I hear you made an offer
to buy Bobby's gasoline.

J.R.. you may be out of power.
But you're not out of touch.

Or did Bobby tell you?

No. I have my sources.
He's not one of them.

What I don't know is
what the offer was.

Very simple. I offered to buy
the gasoline he's refining.

I would have given him $2 a barrel more
than he's getting already.

- How much do you want?
- Every last barrel.

Why would Bobby turn down
$100,000 a day extra profit?

He said he had contracts for the gasoline.
Wouldn't break them.

Oh. You know as well as I do there's not
a contract written that can't be broken.

It's just not the same
as when you were there. J.R.

A man could reason with you.

I'm willing to listen to reason.

J.R.. you help to make this deal work.
I'll personally be very grateful to you.

I have a good memory...

and I won't forget you when
and if you're running Ewing Oil again.

Oh. I'll be back
running Ewing Oil real soon.

What do you think. Jackie?

I think that's what Liz had in mind.

Maybe you better use these too.

Isn't Liz expecting you for a meeting?

That was before the meeting was
postponed from this morning.

Make my excuses for me. Okay?
I gotta get home.

Okay. Have a nice evening.

- Shall I get that?
- No. I got it. Bye-bye.

Hello. Pamela Ewing.

Alex Ward.

- Well. Hello.
- Well. That's a start.

I wasn't sure you'd even talk to me.

- Well. Of course I'm talking to you.
- Good.

I had the distinct impression
that you were avoiding me.

I want to see you, Pam.

Well. I'm not trying to avoid you. Alex.
I don't feel that I should see you.

Well. I told you I was willing to overlook
the fact that you're married.

- But I'm not.
- Pamela...

if your marriage is good. I can't hurt
it. If it's not. What have you got to lose?

Have dinner with me.

Look. Alex. I've got to go
to a family dinner. And I'm running late.

- I have to go.
- But...

Goodbye.

Well. I got this call from
some former colleagues down in Louisiana.

They wanted me to look
at this drilling platform.

- Who are they?
- Well. Now. All that...

- Sorry I'm late.
- Hello. Pam.

Just got here myself.

- Can I get you a drink?
- No. Thanks.

Well. Everybody has arrived
but the guest of honor.

Maybe you should get him a watch
for your wedding present.

Hi. Sorry I'm late.

Where's Lucy
and your mother and sister?

Lucy's bringing them.

- I thought they'd be here by now.
- No. Nobody here but us rich folks.

- J.R.
- Oh. I was just joking. Mama.

There's a couple of poor folks here.

Hi. Everyone. Sorry we're late.

I want you all to meet Mitch's mom.
This is Mrs. Cooper.

- Hello.
- And his sister Afton.

And these. Of course.
Are the Ewings.

That's my grandma and my granddaddy.

- How do you do?
- Ma'am.

- And Pam and Bobby.
- Hello.

- And that's Sue Ellen and J.R.
- Hello.

Mrs. Cooper. Why don't you
come here and sit by me?

Thank you. I do wish
you'd call me Arliss. Though.

- And I'm Ellie.
- Hello. Ellie.

And I'm Jock.
Could I get you a drink?

I don't think so right now.
Thank you. Jock.

- Can I get you a cold drink or anything?
- No. Thank you.

I must say. Beauty certainly
runs in your family.

I understand they raise these
huge magnolias down in Mississippi.

- Is that right?
- Yeah. That's true.

- Is it true what they say about alligators?
- Yeah.

- It is?
- Lt is true.

- They're all along the sides of the road.
- You're kidding. Are they really?

- Spanish moss is hanging in the trees.
- Really?

- It's pretty scary.
- And they sing songs like...?

Don't they look wonderful?

They sure do. Lucy. I...

Pam. We went to The Store today.
I looked for you. But you weren't there.

I was in and out all day.
I had a lot of meetings.

Yeah. That's what we figured.

Mom.

We bought out the whole store.

Now. Before you say anything to Lucy
about spending all that money on us...

you just take a good
look at your sister.

She never had a dress like that before.
She loves it.

- Makes her feel like she belongs.
- Lt's just not right, Mom.

Lucy had pleasure doing it for us.

Lord knows it gives me pleasure
watching her wear it.

Now. I won't have your pride spoiling
it for either one of them. You hear me?

It gives me pleasure too. Ma.
It's just that. Well...

I only wish I could have been
the one that bought them. That's all.

I know.

I know. Mitch. I know. I know.

Bobby?

Yeah. Honey?

Can you finish that in the morning?

No. Sweetie. I can't.

I have to finish it tonight. I have a
meeting first thing in the morning.

Hey.

I know you're under a lot of pressure.

And I know things haven't been
very good between us lately.

And maybe a lot of it has been my fault.

But. Bobby. It seems like we don't
ever spend any time together anymore.

Everything's changing.

Honey. I know I spend
a lot of time at work...

but why do you think
that changes things between us?

Well. We haven't made love in weeks.

That tells me something.

Come on now.
It hasn't been that long.

No? When was the last time?

Well. That's wonderful. Bobby.
You can't even remember.

One of us is slipping.
And I don't think it's me.

No one has ever made love to me out of
pity. And it's not going to start now.

Those were real interesting folks
last night. The Coopers.

Yeah.

I guess I underestimated Mitch.

Well. They seem like nice enough folks.

Yeah.

- You suppose Afton can type?
- What?

- Morning. Pam.
- Good morning.

Well...

Bobby. Morning.

What's wrong with Pam. Bobby?

Nothing. Daddy.

Bob. It may be none
of my business...

but it takes a special kind of wife to
be able to stand up under the pressures...

of being married to the president
of a big oil firm.

And. I don't know. I just don't think
Pam is cut out to be an executive's wife.

You're right about one thing. J.R.
lt's none of your business.

Now. Don't get touchy.

Hello.

Well. Hi. Jordan. How you doing?

Oh. Fine. Fine.
Hang on a minute.

Jordan Lee.
You want to take it inside?

No. I'll take it right here.

Hello. Jordan?

Sorry to bother you at home. Bobby.
But I got great news.

- Oh. Really?
- Yeah. Just got a call from the Gulf.

The core samplings went faster
than we thought.

Only had to go down to 1.500 feet.

And it looks good.
Week. Maybe 10 days. We could be drilling.

So get your money ready. Bobby.
This is gonna be a bonanza for all of us.

Well. That's fine.

I'll get back to you.

Good news?

Yeah.

Well. What did he say?

The sampling went so well
we'll probably be drilling within a week.

Hey. Bobby. That's great news. Great.

That's just wonderful, Bob.

Now all you have to do is cover that little
$12 million marker you gave Jordan.

I'll come up with it, J.R.
Don't worry.

What. Me worry?

Well. To be honest. Donna. It's not that
I've forgotten about the Takapa preserve...

but with Lucy's wedding. I've just been
too busy to think about it.

I know that. Miss Ellie.
And I don't mean to bother you...

but time is very important to us.

- After the wedding. We'll talk about it.
- I'd appreciate that.

In the meantime.
Could I send you some literature?

Good. Do that.
Nice talking to you, Donna.

You too. Miss Ellie. Take care.

- Bye-b ye.
- Bye.

- Jeremy.
- What is the rush. J.R?

You sounded like the Russians
were in Fort Worth.

You still want to buy the output
from the Ewing refinery?

Of course.

I know how you can make a deal.

Give Bobby $15 million up front
to sign with you.

Fifteen million dollars?

He needs it. He'll make a deal.

That's a lot of front money. J.R.
I don't know.

It's simple. Just structure the deal
so that the 15 million...

applies to the first two weeks
of the supply you buy.

What about his loyalty to the independents?
Has he gotten over that?

Oh. Even Bobby's loyalty
has a price tag on it.

Well. As I said. J.R..
I will be grateful for your help.

Now. There is one thing.

It will make a big profit for Bobby.

Make him look mighty good
in a lot of people's eyes.

Oh. Maybe not everybody's eyes.

�Just in case you change your mind.
Love. Alex.�

You gonna stay in bed all day. Darling?

Yeah. I might.

You want to join me?

You know that today is Lucy's shower...

and this house is gonna be overrun
with college girls and their mamas.

- You'd just be in the way.
- No. I won't.

I'm gonna stay up here
and catch up on my reading.

I'm letting Bobby take care
of the office today.

Is there something happening
that I should know about?

Well. I believe it's imminent.

Now. The fall of Bobby Ewing?

And the reinstatement of his beloved brother
J.R. to the presidency of Ewing Oil.

Are you sure about that?

Do you know that laugh of yours
is positively evil?

But I love it.

Darling. I don't want
to be late to Lucy's shower.

They'll start without you.

�Will you let Mitch make house calls
when you're married? Love, Maryanne.�

Never. Never.

Oh. It's gorgeous.
Look at... Oh. Thank you.

Okay. Well. Just for this. I'll let him
take your temperature, but only once.

Isn't that J.R.'s car. Miss Ellie?

Yes. It is. He's upstairs.

This is from Jamie Due�.

�I'm so happy you've finally found
someone to fill your prescriptions.�

Very cute. Jamie.

Wonder why he hasn't
come out to say hello.

Well. This is Lucy's party.

I guess he just thought
he'd be in the way.

- That's very considerate of him.
- Oh. That's gorgeous.

With all this china.
We're gonna have to get a cook.

- Or find a good caterer.
- Lt's beautiful. Thank you.

What's in here? Open this one.

Excuse me.

Here. Open this one.

This is from Joanne.

And Mr. Wendell called. He wants
to set up a meeting for this afternoon.

- Call him back. Tell him to come on over.
- Okay. Thanks.

Wendell. Isn't that the man
from Westar Oil?

That's right, dear.

Oh. My goodness.

Excuse me. I was looking for Lucy's room.
I left my sweater there.

Getting chilly. Is it?

Some.

How you liking Dallas?

- Yeah. I love it.
- And Southfork?

It's beautiful.
I've never seen anything like it.

You sure are lucky to live here.

Yeah. I guess so.

Well. Your being here adds
a touch more beauty to it.

Well. It sure puts Mississippi to shame.

I almost hate to go back.

Well. Since you're almost
a member of the family...

it just seems a shame
to lose you so soon.

Wouldn't take much
to talk me out of it.

Talking is the second best thing I do.

I guess talking is about
the fifth best thing I do.

Lucy is just gonna make
the most beautiful bride.

She's such a precious child.

Speaking of beautiful children.
Where's your little boy. Sue Ellen?

- Oh. He's upstairs.
- Why don't you bring him out?

We'd all just adore seeing him.

Why don't you bring him down
for a little visit. Sue Ellen?

All right.

You won't believe how he's grown.

Well. That leaves four things.

I don't believe we'd best find
out what they are today.

But soon?

Hi. Sue Ellen.

Afton.

I've just been exploring the house.

It's so beautiful.

You sure are lucky.
This place and a fine husband like J.R.

- Yeah.
- Mr. Wendell.

Show him in.

- Bobby.
- Jeremy.

Bobby. I think I have an offer that's
too attractive for you to turn down.

Well. I don't think there is such an offer.

You know how I feel about my deal
with the independents.

And I respect you for that.
Just hear me out.

If you will agree to sell all
your gas to Westar Oil...

we will be willing to pay you $15 million
up front on the day the contract is signed.

Well. Is that a good enough offer?

Well. Here you go.

Mitch! Mitch!

- Hi.
- Hi. Baby. How are you?

Look at this. Can you believe
all the presents we got?

- Hi.
- Look at this.

- Mitch boy.
- Mr. Ewing.

We're not gonna have to buy
anything for a few years.

We're gonna have to rent
a building to store this.

- Very funny.
- Where are we gonna put it?

We couldn't get half
of this in the apartment.

Isn't that gorgeous?

You must be real proud
of your boy. Mrs. Cooper.

Oh. Indeed. I am.

I just worry about how he and Lucy are
gonna have to struggle till he graduates.

Well. You don't have to worry
a thing about that.

Well. There's always room at Ewing Oil
for an enterprising young man like Mitch.

A year. Maybe two. He'll be pulling down
a couple hundred thousand dollars a year.

Mitch always planned
to go into medicine.

Yeah. Well. Plans have a way of changing.
Usually for the better.

I'd like to make a toast.

May today be a day
we'll remember...

because we're with
the happiest couple in all of Texas.

To Lucy and Mitch.

Thank you. Granddaddy.

And something I was
saving for the wedding...

but since Mitch here is so worried
about where everything is gonna fit...

I'll just do it now.

Miss Ellie and my gift to you
is a big condominium in Oakridge.

Plenty of room for two
and. Well. Maybe three.

Isn't that great?

That's really nice of you, Mr. Ewing...

but I think maybe Lucy and I
ought to start off in my apartment.

What the hell for
when you can have the condo?

Well. Now. I just think that's the most
wonderful. Generous thing to do.

I just know they're gonna be
happy there.

I think it's the nicest thing I ever heard.

Well. It's only temporary.

Lucy. When you get yourself
in a family way...

old uncle J.R.'s gonna buy you
the nicest house in Preston Hollow.

Then your mother and sister
can live with you and Mitch...

and be one big happy family.

Just like here at Southfork.

Aren't we lucky. Lucy?
We've got our whole future set for us.

Nice job at Ewing Oil.
A nice condo and even nicer house.

What could be better than that?

- Well. Now. Wait a minute...
- No. Now you wait a minute.

I don't want your job at Ewing Oil.

I don't want the Ewing condo
or the Ewing house.

What I want is to be a medical researcher
doing it on my own.

Now. If marrying Lucy means that
I've gotta be tied into the Ewing family...

and all this damn money...

then I'm not so sure
I want that. Either.

- No. Mitch! Wait a minute!
- Lucy!

Lucy. Not now.
Later. Talk to him later.

What the hell did I say?

I don't know.

Strange boy.

I sure as hell need something
stronger than this.

Let's go.

I cannot understand those youngsters.
Can you make head or tail of it?

Who can?

- Yeah?
- J.R.?

- Did you meet with him?
- I did.

He took the deal.
We sign the contracts in a week.

Thank you.

- Who was that?
- Oh. Just a man about some oil.

Anything I ought to know about?

You will. Daddy.

Not too long now.
