1
00:00:02,520 --> 00:00:05,205
I'm going to do everything I can
to change the will...
2
00:00:05,481 --> 00:00:07,165
so I can sell Ewing Oil.
3
00:00:07,400 --> 00:00:09,323
Mama. That's going against
Daddy's wishes!
4
00:00:09,569 --> 00:00:12,618
I don't think you give a damn
about your daddy's wishes.
5
00:00:12,906 --> 00:00:14,670
All you care about is yourself.
6
00:00:14,908 --> 00:00:17,798
Daddy chose that
the future of Ewing Oil...
7
00:00:18,078 --> 00:00:21,127
is gonna be in the hands of the son
strong enough to run it.
8
00:00:21,414 --> 00:00:22,859
That's the way it's gonna be.
9
00:00:23,083 --> 00:00:25,131
You leave me no choice. Mama.
10
00:00:25,711 --> 00:00:27,042
I'll fight you all the way.
11
00:00:27,254 --> 00:00:29,256
Your methods may have lost us
the company.
12
00:00:29,506 --> 00:00:30,917
Not if we join forces against Mama.
13
00:02:03,103 --> 00:02:05,504
I wanna know why all those oilmen
are so angry.
14
00:02:05,772 --> 00:02:07,979
It has to do with the gas stations.
Doesn't it?
15
00:02:08,233 --> 00:02:10,440
Lucy. It is none of your business.
16
00:02:10,694 --> 00:02:12,298
It's all over now. Lucy.
17
00:02:12,529 --> 00:02:14,418
We shouldn't talk about it anymore.
18
00:02:14,656 --> 00:02:16,420
I saw that crowd through the window.
19
00:02:16,658 --> 00:02:18,786
They looked like
they were gonna hang you.
20
00:02:19,036 --> 00:02:22,165
Listen. Would you stop bugging me.
I got a headache.
21
00:02:22,539 --> 00:02:23,825
And speaking of headaches...
22
00:02:24,041 --> 00:02:28,330
was that the Trotter kid I saw coming
out of the living room when we came in?
23
00:02:28,671 --> 00:02:30,958
Don't tell me you've taken up
with the hired hands.
24
00:02:31,215 --> 00:02:34,298
Don't do that.
Don't change the subject. J.R.
25
00:02:34,593 --> 00:02:36,197
I wanna know why Grandma's angry...
26
00:02:36,428 --> 00:02:38,635
and why's she on the phone
to Harv Smithfield.
27
00:02:38,889 --> 00:02:40,175
Why don't you tell her. J.R.?
28
00:02:40,391 --> 00:02:43,759
What you're doing now just isn't
hurting Ewing Oil, but the whole family.
29
00:02:44,061 --> 00:02:46,143
Bobby and Ray had to protect you
from a mob.
30
00:02:46,397 --> 00:02:49,321
Your dirty deals might just get somebody
killed one of these days.
31
00:02:49,609 --> 00:02:54,137
Now. Just hold on. It was your brother
who started that whole mess. Not me.
32
00:02:54,489 --> 00:02:58,335
You're just as much to blame as he is.
It started with your cut-rate gasoline.
33
00:02:59,077 --> 00:03:01,478
I don't think we need
any more of this bickering.
34
00:03:03,581 --> 00:03:06,312
I'm going to see Harv Smithfield
tomorrow.
35
00:03:06,585 --> 00:03:09,475
I'm going to do everything I can
to get the will changed...
36
00:03:09,754 --> 00:03:11,802
so I can sell Ewing oil.
37
00:03:12,841 --> 00:03:16,323
Miss Ellie. It's not like you to interfere
with the running of Ewing Oil.
38
00:03:17,095 --> 00:03:19,496
- Aren't you being a little bit hasty?
- No.
39
00:03:19,765 --> 00:03:21,767
I've thought about nothing else
for weeks.
40
00:03:22,434 --> 00:03:26,598
Mama. Contesting Daddy's will.
That's a drastic step.
41
00:03:26,939 --> 00:03:30,307
If Miss Ellie was as frightened as I was
at what nearly happened...
42
00:03:30,609 --> 00:03:32,418
I don't think it's too drastic.
43
00:03:32,945 --> 00:03:34,629
I don't believe it.
44
00:03:34,864 --> 00:03:37,629
Selling Ewing Oil, that's the last thing
Daddy would want.
45
00:03:37,908 --> 00:03:39,433
The company was his life. Mama.
46
00:03:39,660 --> 00:03:43,790
And now it's ruining my life.
And my family's life.
47
00:03:44,415 --> 00:03:48,215
Maybe Ewing Oil was only meant to exist
while your father was alive.
48
00:03:48,795 --> 00:03:51,275
Don't worry. J.R.. you'll get your share.
49
00:03:51,798 --> 00:03:54,404
I'll distribute the proceeds among
the four boys.
50
00:03:54,968 --> 00:03:57,448
Well. That's just wonderful.
Did your hear that. Bobby?
51
00:03:57,721 --> 00:04:02,124
She's gonna sell Ewing Oil and give half
the money to a drunk and a cowboy.
52
00:04:02,475 --> 00:04:04,762
That's going against Daddy's wishes
and you know it!
53
00:04:05,645 --> 00:04:07,886
Don't you shout at me. J.R.
54
00:04:08,315 --> 00:04:11,398
I don't think you give a damn
about your daddy's wishes.
55
00:04:11,693 --> 00:04:14,424
All you care about is yourself.
56
00:04:21,495 --> 00:04:22,701
Jordan. Talk to me.
57
00:04:24,373 --> 00:04:28,173
All we can do now is try and freeze J.R.
out of any deals he's planning.
58
00:04:28,502 --> 00:04:32,268
- We'll get the word out all over Texas.
- Where's Cliff Barnes?
59
00:04:33,841 --> 00:04:36,890
- Howdy. Punk.
- Punk.
60
00:04:37,428 --> 00:04:39,510
- Cliff. I wanna talk to you.
- Hey. Punk.
61
00:04:39,764 --> 00:04:40,925
Sit down and have a drink.
62
00:04:41,140 --> 00:04:43,711
We're holding a wake
for the independent oilmen of Dallas.
63
00:04:43,976 --> 00:04:46,263
Cut out the bull.
Ain't nobody here gone broke yet.
64
00:04:46,521 --> 00:04:49,570
When I told you we ought to
go out to Southfork and talk to J.R...
65
00:04:49,858 --> 00:04:51,508
I meant just that. Talk. Not riot.
66
00:04:53,027 --> 00:04:55,758
Wait a minute. Punk.
You're just overreacting.
67
00:04:56,031 --> 00:04:57,442
Overreacting?
68
00:04:57,657 --> 00:05:00,900
You'll know I'm overreacting when you
wake up face-down on the floor.
69
00:05:01,203 --> 00:05:03,968
Now. Boys.
This isn't gonna settle anything.
70
00:05:04,247 --> 00:05:05,248
Jordan's right.
71
00:05:06,041 --> 00:05:09,124
J.R. would love it
if we started fighting among ourselves.
72
00:05:09,419 --> 00:05:11,262
It's up to you, Punk.
73
00:05:11,505 --> 00:05:13,155
It's up to you to use your influence.
74
00:05:13,382 --> 00:05:16,113
You don't understand.
I'm the administrator of the will.
75
00:05:16,385 --> 00:05:18,956
I can advise.
But other than that. I'm hogtied.
76
00:05:19,513 --> 00:05:21,038
Well. There's only one thing to do.
77
00:05:21,265 --> 00:05:24,109
Let's cut prices.
Force J.R. out of business.
78
00:05:24,393 --> 00:05:27,237
If we stick together.
We're a hell of a lot stronger than he is.
79
00:05:27,521 --> 00:05:28,647
I don't like it.
80
00:05:29,565 --> 00:05:32,614
There could be consequences
to cur pricing structure down the line.
81
00:05:32,902 --> 00:05:35,826
Andy's right.
I'm not getting into any price war.
82
00:05:36,114 --> 00:05:40,722
Well. I'll tell you something.
We better find some way to stop him.
83
00:05:41,077 --> 00:05:44,524
I say we just let the Ewing boys
fight it out between themselves.
84
00:05:44,831 --> 00:05:46,833
Then we'll do what we can
to confine J.R...
85
00:05:47,083 --> 00:05:49,006
by putting pressure
on the refineries...
86
00:05:49,252 --> 00:05:51,823
- not to touch Ewing product.
- Not enough.
87
00:05:52,088 --> 00:05:54,170
That's not enough. Punk.
88
00:05:55,383 --> 00:05:57,465
Well. Cliff. You think of something...
89
00:05:57,719 --> 00:06:01,565
but it better not be violent.
Or you won't be just facing J.R.
90
00:06:01,890 --> 00:06:04,541
You saw what happened
at the barbecue today.
91
00:06:04,810 --> 00:06:09,020
There's nothing like the threat of violence
to bring the Ewing clan right together.
92
00:06:12,109 --> 00:06:15,591
- Bobby. Where are you going?
- I'm going for a drive. I'll be back.
93
00:06:15,904 --> 00:06:17,144
- Well. I'll go with you.
- No.
94
00:06:17,364 --> 00:06:20,095
I'd just as soon be by myself.
95
00:06:31,462 --> 00:06:34,591
Is that because of Miss Ellie's decision?
96
00:06:35,633 --> 00:06:37,476
I'm sure it is.
97
00:06:39,929 --> 00:06:43,012
I don't think Miss Ellie
should interfere with the will.
98
00:06:47,270 --> 00:06:49,637
She has to do what she believes is right.
99
00:06:50,982 --> 00:06:54,987
She's always talking about what
this fight is gonna do to the family.
100
00:06:55,570 --> 00:06:58,813
What does she think overturning
Jack's will is gonna do to the family?
101
00:07:00,158 --> 00:07:02,889
Well. It'll stop the brothers fighting.
102
00:07:03,328 --> 00:07:05,490
You know. I've had it up to here
with Ewing Oil...
103
00:07:05,747 --> 00:07:07,476
and the problems it's caused.
104
00:07:07,958 --> 00:07:09,767
I think I know how Miss Ellie feels.
105
00:07:10,044 --> 00:07:13,127
Pam. How do you think
she's gonna feel...
106
00:07:13,422 --> 00:07:18,189
when she has to go to court
and publicly question Jack's judgment?
107
00:07:20,888 --> 00:07:22,856
I don't think she's thought
about that yet.
108
00:07:24,850 --> 00:07:27,171
Well. I think it's time she did.
109
00:07:34,652 --> 00:07:36,461
Was what J.R. did really so wrong?
110
00:07:38,615 --> 00:07:41,425
It was wrong because of why he did it...
111
00:07:41,701 --> 00:07:44,102
only to get the best of Bobby.
112
00:07:44,996 --> 00:07:48,284
And it hurt a lot of our friends
at the same time.
113
00:07:48,750 --> 00:07:51,276
But it was a business deal. Wasn't it?
114
00:07:52,254 --> 00:07:54,018
Yes. It was.
115
00:07:55,215 --> 00:07:57,183
You know how I feel about J.R.
116
00:07:57,426 --> 00:08:00,270
I mean. I hardly ever approve
of anything he does.
117
00:08:03,057 --> 00:08:06,903
Lucy. You're very troubled
about this. Why?
118
00:08:09,063 --> 00:08:11,953
Granddaddy would have known
that something like this could happen.
119
00:08:12,233 --> 00:08:13,883
He knew how J.R. operated.
120
00:08:14,652 --> 00:08:17,132
He had to take that into account
when he decided that...
121
00:08:17,405 --> 00:08:19,646
J.R and Bobby should compete
for Ewing Oil.
122
00:08:20,741 --> 00:08:23,506
Granddaddy was a very smart man...
123
00:08:24,036 --> 00:08:26,118
especially when it came to business.
124
00:08:26,372 --> 00:08:27,783
Yes. He was.
125
00:08:29,125 --> 00:08:31,810
Then how can you try and change
what he wanted done?
126
00:08:34,339 --> 00:08:36,865
It's very difficult for me, Lucy.
127
00:08:37,133 --> 00:08:38,862
Well. Then don't do it.
128
00:08:39,094 --> 00:08:42,416
I'm sure it's all turning out
just the way Granddaddy expected it.
129
00:08:44,474 --> 00:08:46,203
Oh. Lucy.
130
00:08:46,435 --> 00:08:48,324
I know how much you loved him.
131
00:08:48,562 --> 00:08:50,246
I did too.
132
00:08:50,689 --> 00:08:54,489
And I respected his judgment.
I found him very wise.
133
00:08:55,611 --> 00:08:56,942
But even when he was alive...
134
00:08:57,154 --> 00:08:59,805
things didn't always work out
the way he'd planned.
135
00:09:00,157 --> 00:09:05,163
But then he was around to make the
changes and straighten everything out.
136
00:09:06,539 --> 00:09:08,667
It's gone wrong...
137
00:09:09,458 --> 00:09:12,109
and he's not around to fix it.
138
00:09:13,087 --> 00:09:15,169
Grandma. Are you sure
you're doing what's right?
139
00:09:16,674 --> 00:09:17,960
No.
140
00:09:18,676 --> 00:09:20,678
No. I'm not sure.
141
00:09:20,928 --> 00:09:24,171
I don't want to go against
your granddaddy's wishes.
142
00:09:24,807 --> 00:09:27,378
But he's not here anymore...
143
00:09:27,810 --> 00:09:30,939
and it's up to me to run this family.
144
00:09:41,658 --> 00:09:42,944
Hi.
145
00:09:46,663 --> 00:09:49,314
- Would you rather be alone?
- No.
146
00:09:52,336 --> 00:09:53,781
Quite a day for you. Wasn't it?
147
00:09:57,549 --> 00:09:59,756
I was really worried about you.
148
00:10:00,803 --> 00:10:03,374
Oh. That was just bluster. Honey.
149
00:10:03,639 --> 00:10:05,926
Nobody was gonna do anything to me.
150
00:10:08,269 --> 00:10:11,716
J.R.. do you think that Miss Ellie
will really overturn the will?
151
00:10:12,690 --> 00:10:16,092
She was just upset because
of that hothead Barnes.
152
00:10:16,402 --> 00:10:18,609
A good night's sleep.
She'll calm down.
153
00:10:19,572 --> 00:10:22,178
I know your mama.
She can be a stubborn lady.
154
00:10:23,034 --> 00:10:26,925
Stubborn is one thing.
Going to court is something else.
155
00:10:27,372 --> 00:10:30,581
When she's not so upset.
I'll have a nice long talk with her.
156
00:10:32,419 --> 00:10:35,582
I just have a feeling that
she's not gonna back off.
157
00:10:36,882 --> 00:10:41,092
We just have to deal with that when
it comes down the pipe. Won't we?
158
00:10:48,352 --> 00:10:49,763
I've been worried about you.
159
00:10:49,978 --> 00:10:51,343
It's really late.
160
00:10:52,356 --> 00:10:55,565
Well. I had a lot on my mind.
161
00:10:56,277 --> 00:10:58,598
You wanna talk about it now. Bobby?
162
00:11:01,240 --> 00:11:04,210
Yes. Yes. I do.
163
00:11:04,744 --> 00:11:06,189
Okay.
164
00:11:08,664 --> 00:11:11,190
Pamela. It bothers me...
165
00:11:11,459 --> 00:11:13,700
It bothers me a lot
you siding with Mama...
166
00:11:13,961 --> 00:11:16,202
on this business about
overturning Daddy's will.
167
00:11:16,881 --> 00:11:20,647
I won't let her go through this by herself
thinking the whole family's against her.
168
00:11:21,386 --> 00:11:23,627
Pam. She doesn't have to
go through it at all.
169
00:11:23,888 --> 00:11:27,495
She can leave it alone. And maybe she
will if you don't give her your support.
170
00:11:27,809 --> 00:11:29,971
Well. I can't turn against her. Bobby.
171
00:11:30,228 --> 00:11:34,074
I've never been enthusiastic about this
fight for Ewing Oi. You know that.
172
00:11:34,399 --> 00:11:36,481
But seeing the way
it's affecting Miss Ellie...
173
00:11:38,528 --> 00:11:40,610
She's such a strong woman...
174
00:11:40,864 --> 00:11:42,946
but for her to challenge
Jack's wishes...
175
00:11:43,200 --> 00:11:45,680
is the most difficult decision
she's ever made.
176
00:11:45,953 --> 00:11:49,924
Pam. I appreciate the fact
that you sympathize with Mama...
177
00:11:50,249 --> 00:11:52,536
but you don't understand
what this competition...
178
00:11:52,793 --> 00:11:54,397
between J.R. and me is all about.
179
00:11:54,628 --> 00:11:56,437
Yes. I do.
180
00:11:56,672 --> 00:11:59,801
But how much power
do you or J.R. have to have?
181
00:12:00,092 --> 00:12:03,175
As far as I'm concerned. You don't
have to be president of Ewing Oil.
182
00:12:03,471 --> 00:12:05,280
We have more money
than we can ever spend.
183
00:12:05,515 --> 00:12:07,324
You can be president of any company.
184
00:12:08,226 --> 00:12:09,876
That's not it.
185
00:12:11,145 --> 00:12:12,431
That's not it at all.
186
00:12:14,607 --> 00:12:18,692
Pam. You don't understand
what drove Jock Ewing.
187
00:12:19,904 --> 00:12:23,625
And I don't think you really understand
what drives me either.
188
00:12:26,286 --> 00:12:28,766
When I was at the university...
189
00:12:29,748 --> 00:12:32,592
making the football team
just wasn't enough.
190
00:12:32,876 --> 00:12:34,401
I had to be varsity.
191
00:12:34,628 --> 00:12:37,677
I had to be captain.
I had to make All-Southwest Conference.
192
00:12:37,965 --> 00:12:40,286
And I did. I did all of that.
193
00:12:41,260 --> 00:12:43,467
When you and I met...
194
00:12:43,721 --> 00:12:45,769
I wasn't just a road man
for Ewing Oil...
195
00:12:46,015 --> 00:12:49,656
I was the best road man
for any oil company.
196
00:12:51,979 --> 00:12:54,585
Because that's what Daddy expected.
197
00:12:55,983 --> 00:12:58,827
And that's what I expect from myself.
198
00:13:00,571 --> 00:13:02,460
And J.R. and I are a lot alike...
199
00:13:02,698 --> 00:13:05,861
because he's not gonna take
second-best either.
200
00:13:07,078 --> 00:13:09,524
You see. That's why Daddy
turned away from Gary.
201
00:13:09,789 --> 00:13:13,077
The Ewings must succeed.
And Gary didn't care about that.
202
00:13:13,376 --> 00:13:15,982
But. Pam. J.R. and I do.
203
00:13:16,838 --> 00:13:20,081
Now. Daddy chose
that the future of Ewing Oil...
204
00:13:20,383 --> 00:13:23,592
is gonna be in the hands
of the son strong enough to run it.
205
00:13:23,929 --> 00:13:26,216
And that's the way it's gonna be.
206
00:13:36,942 --> 00:13:39,229
Addison's too far away.
207
00:13:39,486 --> 00:13:42,296
No. I have to be south
of the LBJ Freeway.
208
00:13:43,365 --> 00:13:45,447
What about that place
in Preston Hollow?
209
00:13:46,493 --> 00:13:49,144
Excuse me. Yes. Come in.
210
00:13:49,455 --> 00:13:51,662
Oh. Excuse me. Just give me a minute.
211
00:13:52,583 --> 00:13:55,712
No. That's a ridiculous price.
I'm not paying that kind of money.
212
00:13:56,254 --> 00:13:58,655
Yeah. I liked... I liked the condo
in Turtle Creek...
213
00:13:58,923 --> 00:14:03,087
but what about Love Field?
What about the sounds from those jets?
214
00:14:04,512 --> 00:14:07,436
Okay. I'll meet you there
tomorrow at noon.
215
00:14:07,765 --> 00:14:10,848
Okay. Bye. Hi, Mama.
216
00:14:11,144 --> 00:14:13,590
Hi. I didn't know
you were thinking of moving.
217
00:14:13,855 --> 00:14:15,141
Look at this apartment.
218
00:14:15,357 --> 00:14:18,327
This is hardly the image for
the president of Barnes-Wentworth Oil.
219
00:14:18,902 --> 00:14:20,552
I didn't think you cared about image.
220
00:14:20,779 --> 00:14:23,942
What I don't care about
is throwing money away...
221
00:14:24,241 --> 00:14:27,962
but I really can't entertain here.
I can't hold business meetings.
222
00:14:28,287 --> 00:14:30,608
Plus. A new place would be
a good tax write-off.
223
00:14:31,248 --> 00:14:32,898
You know. I have a big house. Cliff.
224
00:14:33,125 --> 00:14:34,854
- I was hoping that...
- Mama. Really.
225
00:14:35,377 --> 00:14:37,186
Thank you. But I can't move in with you.
226
00:14:37,421 --> 00:14:39,230
I really have to have my own place.
227
00:14:42,134 --> 00:14:43,624
I understand.
228
00:14:43,844 --> 00:14:46,529
Now. To what do I owe
this early morning visit?
229
00:14:46,806 --> 00:14:48,934
I'm sure it's not my coffee.
230
00:14:49,183 --> 00:14:51,584
No. It's not the coffee.
231
00:14:53,604 --> 00:14:55,493
Cliff. I have to tell you...
232
00:14:55,731 --> 00:14:59,258
I was really frightened at what
I saw happen at Southfork yesterday.
233
00:14:59,569 --> 00:15:01,458
Mama. I was in no danger.
234
00:15:01,988 --> 00:15:04,514
I'm not so sure. But that's not the point.
235
00:15:04,782 --> 00:15:08,548
Look. I want to fight J.R.
as much as you do, but not that way.
236
00:15:08,870 --> 00:15:10,281
That was a mob. Cliff.
237
00:15:10,497 --> 00:15:12,784
Mama. None of that would have had
to have happened...
238
00:15:13,041 --> 00:15:15,362
if he just sensibly sat down
with the cartel.
239
00:15:15,627 --> 00:15:18,471
That's the only way I could get to him.
I had to smoke him out.
240
00:15:18,755 --> 00:15:22,316
Well. All you succeeded in doing
was scaring the guests.
241
00:15:22,718 --> 00:15:25,562
If you want to beat J.R..
It's going to have to be in business...
242
00:15:25,846 --> 00:15:27,371
not with your fists.
243
00:15:28,265 --> 00:15:30,586
Mama. Don't lay down rules for me.
244
00:15:32,770 --> 00:15:35,421
I won't be a party to any violence. Cliff.
245
00:15:35,689 --> 00:15:37,293
I want you to know that up front.
246
00:15:37,816 --> 00:15:39,056
Okay. I know it.
247
00:15:39,276 --> 00:15:41,404
- Cliff. I really...
- Mama. I said. Okay.
248
00:15:41,654 --> 00:15:43,099
I know it.
249
00:15:53,583 --> 00:15:54,664
Good morning. Mama.
250
00:15:55,960 --> 00:15:57,121
J.R.
251
00:16:00,381 --> 00:16:03,146
I want to apologize
for being so testy yesterday.
252
00:16:03,426 --> 00:16:06,191
I should never have used
those harsh words to you.
253
00:16:06,471 --> 00:16:08,360
Well. It was a hard day for all of us.
254
00:16:08,598 --> 00:16:10,168
Yeah. It was.
255
00:16:10,392 --> 00:16:13,202
And I'm sorry about
the party being spoiled.
256
00:16:13,478 --> 00:16:17,563
I know how you look forward to that
annual barbecue every year. We all do.
257
00:16:18,191 --> 00:16:20,080
It didn't seem that way yesterday.
258
00:16:20,319 --> 00:16:23,766
No. But it won't happen again.
259
00:16:24,072 --> 00:16:25,483
You get a good night's sleep?
260
00:16:27,451 --> 00:16:30,773
J.R.. I don't think you really care
how I slept last night.
261
00:16:31,747 --> 00:16:33,829
Of course I do.
I always care how you feel.
262
00:16:34,375 --> 00:16:37,663
You care whether or not
I've changed my mind about the will.
263
00:16:38,796 --> 00:16:41,117
I just thought if you
had a chance to sleep on it...
264
00:16:41,382 --> 00:16:43,544
you might see that you'd made
a hasty decision.
265
00:16:44,510 --> 00:16:45,921
I don't think so.
266
00:16:46,554 --> 00:16:49,160
- Still going to see Harv Smithfield?
- Yes.
267
00:16:49,432 --> 00:16:52,038
I have an appointment with him
at 2 this afternoon.
268
00:16:53,561 --> 00:16:55,006
Then you leave me no choice.
269
00:16:56,439 --> 00:16:58,328
I'm gonna fight you
every step of the way.
270
00:16:58,566 --> 00:17:00,136
And I won't be alone.
271
00:17:00,360 --> 00:17:02,840
I guarantee you, Bobby will be with me.
272
00:17:10,829 --> 00:17:13,514
I just got through talking to Dave...
273
00:17:13,790 --> 00:17:18,717
and the story about J.R. and his gas
stations is all over Washington by now.
274
00:17:19,254 --> 00:17:22,861
I suppose anybody who cuts gas prices
is going to make national news.
275
00:17:23,467 --> 00:17:26,357
You have any regrets
about protecting him yesterday?
276
00:17:28,764 --> 00:17:31,495
No. It was the right thing to do.
277
00:17:31,767 --> 00:17:35,374
I used to think that J.R. was about
the lowest forms of vermin around...
278
00:17:35,688 --> 00:17:38,976
but I tell you.
Cliff Barnes runs a close second.
279
00:17:40,943 --> 00:17:44,709
Or you just may have
a special reason for disliking Cliff.
280
00:17:46,157 --> 00:17:50,401
You mean because of you and him?
It's over and done with, along time ago.
281
00:17:50,745 --> 00:17:52,110
That's right.
282
00:17:56,000 --> 00:17:58,207
You all set for that
energy meeting tonight?
283
00:17:59,879 --> 00:18:02,041
I have got facts and figures prepared.
284
00:18:02,340 --> 00:18:04,104
I just don't think the other members...
285
00:18:04,342 --> 00:18:06,788
are gonna be very impressed
by my facts and figures.
286
00:18:08,013 --> 00:18:12,018
You figure they'll reverse themselves
and allow him to keep that variance?
287
00:18:14,561 --> 00:18:16,131
That's what I'm afraid of.
288
00:18:18,440 --> 00:18:22,889
And I'm delighted you were able
to solve that gas-oil ratio at Ewing 22...
289
00:18:23,237 --> 00:18:26,161
et cetera. Et cetera.
And I think that does it. Phyllis.
290
00:18:26,448 --> 00:18:29,816
- Can I get you any more coffee. Bobby?
- No. I'm coffee'd out. Thank you.
291
00:18:30,786 --> 00:18:33,187
I don't think I'll have any either.
Phyllis.
292
00:18:34,332 --> 00:18:36,858
Having some problems with Ewing 22?
They all sorted out?
293
00:18:37,126 --> 00:18:39,049
Yeah. I think they are.
294
00:18:39,337 --> 00:18:43,786
Bob. I never got around to thanking you
for standing up for me at the barbecue.
295
00:18:44,133 --> 00:18:46,864
It was building up a little blood lust
there for a few minutes.
296
00:18:47,136 --> 00:18:48,820
Well. You're family. J.R.
297
00:18:49,097 --> 00:18:52,943
I just wish you'd remember that when it
comes to what you're doing to Ewing Oil.
298
00:18:53,309 --> 00:18:56,074
I never thought I owed you
an explanation for what I'm doing...
299
00:18:56,354 --> 00:18:59,517
but since you're willing to stand up
and fight for me. I guess I do.
300
00:19:00,692 --> 00:19:05,858
You know. Ever since I was a boy.
Ewing Oil has meant so much to me.
301
00:19:06,239 --> 00:19:10,164
Running it and building it up
into the power that it is now.
302
00:19:10,536 --> 00:19:13,301
You were out there sowing
your wild oats. And having fun...
303
00:19:13,580 --> 00:19:16,663
you never really took an interest in it
until you married Pam.
304
00:19:17,376 --> 00:19:18,582
That's not true.
305
00:19:19,003 --> 00:19:22,564
Oh. Of course it is. I mean. You worked.
But to you it was like playtime.
306
00:19:22,882 --> 00:19:25,453
Even Daddy called you
the company pimp.
307
00:19:26,635 --> 00:19:29,286
I don't think you have the nerve
to say that again.
308
00:19:29,555 --> 00:19:31,239
I'm sorry. Bob.
309
00:19:31,474 --> 00:19:34,284
I've done a lot of things
that Daddy never approved of...
310
00:19:34,560 --> 00:19:36,130
but it was always for Ewing Oil.
311
00:19:36,354 --> 00:19:39,119
It was nothing that he wouldn't
have done if he stood to lose.
312
00:19:39,399 --> 00:19:41,322
You're wrong. J.R.
313
00:19:41,567 --> 00:19:43,649
He wouldn't have robbed from Peter
to pay Paul.
314
00:19:43,903 --> 00:19:45,712
He wouldn't have depleted
our reserves...
315
00:19:45,947 --> 00:19:47,676
to make a fast buck on cheap gas.
316
00:19:47,907 --> 00:19:51,116
And he wouldn't turn every
independent oilman in Texas against him.
317
00:19:51,453 --> 00:19:55,219
You have a glorified memory of Daddy.
He'd have done anything to keep control.
318
00:19:55,874 --> 00:19:58,525
Well. Your methods may have
lost us the company.
319
00:19:59,461 --> 00:20:01,907
Not if we join forces against Mama.
320
00:20:02,381 --> 00:20:05,669
- She can't go up against both of us.
- Yes. She can.
321
00:20:06,260 --> 00:20:07,591
And I'm afraid she will.
322
00:20:09,054 --> 00:20:12,024
You gonna stand by me, Bob.
Like at the barbecue?
323
00:20:13,517 --> 00:20:15,838
I can't give you an answer on that now.
324
00:20:17,313 --> 00:20:18,997
I understand.
325
00:20:19,398 --> 00:20:23,562
Bobby. We may battle a lot.
But I just want you to remember...
326
00:20:24,111 --> 00:20:26,876
you're my brother. And I love you.
327
00:20:33,538 --> 00:20:36,985
You know. This really is
the finest unit in the area.
328
00:20:37,292 --> 00:20:38,817
I mean. Look at it, it's wonderful.
329
00:20:39,043 --> 00:20:41,489
It's so light and just so airy...
330
00:20:41,754 --> 00:20:43,643
and there's no end of things
you can do.
331
00:20:43,882 --> 00:20:46,647
It really is lovely. Mrs. Stockwood.
332
00:20:47,344 --> 00:20:49,392
The bedrooms are terrific.
333
00:20:49,638 --> 00:20:51,720
Yeah. They're really big.
334
00:20:53,058 --> 00:20:55,299
I could probably make a den
out of one of them.
335
00:20:55,560 --> 00:20:58,211
- Would you like to make me an offer?
- Nope.
336
00:20:58,480 --> 00:21:00,642
Nope. I want to think
about it a little bit.
337
00:21:00,899 --> 00:21:04,381
Okay. Well. Look. Why don't I leave you
and Mrs. Barnes alone for a while...
338
00:21:04,695 --> 00:21:06,777
and take your time.
339
00:21:07,030 --> 00:21:08,555
Thank you.
340
00:21:11,535 --> 00:21:13,503
�Mrs. Barnes.� She thinks we're married.
341
00:21:13,746 --> 00:21:15,032
I could put a bar right here.
342
00:21:15,247 --> 00:21:17,090
You know. Put a bar. Really stock it.
343
00:21:17,333 --> 00:21:21,133
Nothing like a well-lubricated
prospect to make a deal with.
344
00:21:23,506 --> 00:21:25,986
Cliff. Do you ever think about marriage?
345
00:21:26,259 --> 00:21:28,785
I think I'm liking this place.
A sofa here...
346
00:21:29,053 --> 00:21:31,784
and a couple of chairs. Is that right?
347
00:21:34,183 --> 00:21:35,389
I guess you never do.
348
00:21:35,894 --> 00:21:37,020
What did you say?
349
00:21:38,980 --> 00:21:40,345
Nothing. Nothing.
350
00:21:41,232 --> 00:21:44,634
You know. There's a lot of closet space
in the bedrooms up there.
351
00:21:44,945 --> 00:21:46,754
You could bring more of your stuff over.
352
00:21:46,988 --> 00:21:49,275
Wouldn't have to keep carrying it
back and forth.
353
00:21:50,200 --> 00:21:51,565
Terrific.
354
00:21:52,077 --> 00:21:53,363
Come on. I want to show you.
355
00:21:56,039 --> 00:21:58,406
What about this color?
You're gonna have to help me.
356
00:21:58,667 --> 00:22:00,669
Maybe some wallpaper or something.
357
00:22:00,919 --> 00:22:04,162
Plus the fact, you know. I think
I can get her down about 10 grand.
358
00:22:10,513 --> 00:22:11,878
We're taking a little break.
359
00:22:12,097 --> 00:22:14,418
It's going hot and heavy in there.
360
00:22:14,683 --> 00:22:18,051
I'm optimistic, but I don't wanna make
any promises until after the meeting.
361
00:22:18,354 --> 00:22:21,915
Remember that section of timber near
Marshall I'm gonna put in your name.
362
00:22:22,233 --> 00:22:23,758
I'm thinking about it all the time.
363
00:22:35,955 --> 00:22:38,117
- Y es. Janet.
- Mrs. Ewing is here.
364
00:22:38,375 --> 00:22:40,218
Please send her right in.
365
00:22:49,553 --> 00:22:51,555
- Ellie. Come in. Come in.
- Hello. Harv.
366
00:22:51,805 --> 00:22:53,807
- Pam. This is a surprise.
- Mr. Smithfield.
367
00:22:54,057 --> 00:22:55,786
Please sit down.
368
00:22:56,143 --> 00:22:58,350
Can Janet get you something?
Coffee. Tea?
369
00:22:58,604 --> 00:23:00,572
- No. Thank you.
- Nothing for me, thank you.
370
00:23:00,814 --> 00:23:02,418
That will be all. Janet.
371
00:23:04,109 --> 00:23:05,759
Well...
372
00:23:06,487 --> 00:23:08,933
you sounded troubled on the phone.
Ellie. What is it?
373
00:23:09,490 --> 00:23:11,652
Have you heard what happened
at the barbecue?
374
00:23:12,702 --> 00:23:15,512
Yes. I heard the whole story at lunch.
Must have been awful.
375
00:23:15,788 --> 00:23:18,268
I don't know how people
can behave that way.
376
00:23:19,750 --> 00:23:22,879
Well. A lot of people are very angry
at the Ewings right now.
377
00:23:23,463 --> 00:23:26,273
The competition between
J.R. and Bobby is causing...
378
00:23:26,549 --> 00:23:28,472
problems with the people
they work with.
379
00:23:28,718 --> 00:23:32,564
More than that. Harv.
It's tearing my family apart.
380
00:23:34,307 --> 00:23:37,789
I know about J.R.'s gas stations
and the price-cutting.
381
00:23:38,103 --> 00:23:41,073
I'm not surprised that tempers
are beginning to heat up.
382
00:23:41,648 --> 00:23:45,448
Harv. My family is very important to me.
383
00:23:45,777 --> 00:23:49,338
If this contest is allowed to continue.
I may not have a family left.
384
00:23:49,698 --> 00:23:53,464
I'm sorry. Miss Ellie.
Those are the terms of the will.
385
00:23:53,786 --> 00:23:54,992
I can't change them.
386
00:23:55,204 --> 00:23:57,127
Yes. I know.
387
00:23:57,873 --> 00:24:00,524
That's why I want to contest the will.
388
00:24:07,341 --> 00:24:08,831
I see.
389
00:24:09,385 --> 00:24:13,276
Well. Of course. That is your privilege.
390
00:24:15,600 --> 00:24:18,922
If... If you like...
391
00:24:20,396 --> 00:24:22,364
I can recommend
a very good estate lawyer.
392
00:24:23,524 --> 00:24:26,368
Recommend?
What are you talking about?
393
00:24:27,028 --> 00:24:31,511
If you want to contest the will, you'll
need a man experienced in that field.
394
00:24:32,200 --> 00:24:34,168
But aren't you experienced?
395
00:24:34,995 --> 00:24:39,125
Yes. Of course.
But I can't represent you.
396
00:24:39,458 --> 00:24:43,429
But you've represented Ewing interests
for as long as I can remember.
397
00:24:43,754 --> 00:24:45,836
What do you mean
you can't represent me?
398
00:24:46,089 --> 00:24:50,139
Miss Ellie. I drew up that will for Jock.
399
00:24:50,469 --> 00:24:55,191
It's my obligation. Morally and legally.
To represent that will.
400
00:24:56,642 --> 00:25:01,125
Are you telling me that if I go to court.
You'll fight against me?
401
00:25:03,065 --> 00:25:04,829
I have no choice.
402
00:25:08,654 --> 00:25:11,180
I find that very hard to believe.
403
00:25:11,449 --> 00:25:12,575
Miss Ellie!
404
00:25:12,784 --> 00:25:15,674
Pamela. Please try to explain to her.
405
00:25:28,216 --> 00:25:29,741
Thank you. Mrs. Krebbs. Thank you.
406
00:25:29,968 --> 00:25:32,050
I'm sure we're all aware of the figures...
407
00:25:32,304 --> 00:25:36,628
but what it comes down to is whether
or not this committee reverses itself...
408
00:25:36,975 --> 00:25:40,422
and allows J.R. to keep his variance
and pump full-out.
409
00:25:40,729 --> 00:25:44,256
Yes. We let J.R. keep his variance.
410
00:25:45,651 --> 00:25:49,542
You know. Mr. Hicks. You used to
be known as a great conservationist.
411
00:25:49,863 --> 00:25:51,786
When there was a need.
412
00:25:52,032 --> 00:25:55,036
We got oil pouring in from Mexico now.
At good prices.
413
00:25:55,327 --> 00:25:57,898
Why. If J.R. Ewing wants
to pump a lot of oil...
414
00:25:58,164 --> 00:26:00,007
why. Mrs. Krebbs. Do you object?
415
00:26:01,083 --> 00:26:03,404
Because without proper regulations...
416
00:26:03,669 --> 00:26:07,037
in a couple of years we're not gonna
have enough oil left to pump.
417
00:26:07,507 --> 00:26:09,953
No. I don't think so. I
think it's personal.
418
00:26:10,218 --> 00:26:12,824
It is well known that you have no use
for J.R. Ewing.
419
00:26:13,096 --> 00:26:14,780
Now. Please. Please. Mr. Hicks...
420
00:26:15,014 --> 00:26:17,415
this committee does not engage
in personal attacks.
421
00:26:19,602 --> 00:26:21,366
Mrs. Krebbs...
422
00:26:21,604 --> 00:26:26,292
if one man decides to cut the price
of gasoline in times like these...
423
00:26:26,651 --> 00:26:27,777
how can you object?
424
00:26:29,321 --> 00:26:34,452
Because. Mr. Figueroa. What one man
wants to do is not the point.
425
00:26:39,790 --> 00:26:43,795
Look. Gentlemen. We have our job to do.
426
00:26:45,421 --> 00:26:48,504
Mighty hard to vote against
reasonable gas prices.
427
00:26:48,799 --> 00:26:53,202
Yes. It is. And that is why we have been
appointed by the state legislature...
428
00:26:53,554 --> 00:26:56,524
because we don't have to worry
about our public image.
429
00:26:56,807 --> 00:26:58,775
We can do what we really think is right.
430
00:26:59,352 --> 00:27:02,003
There is no way I'm gonna vote
for higher prices.
431
00:27:02,271 --> 00:27:04,399
It's time everything came down.
432
00:27:04,816 --> 00:27:08,263
Mr. Lawrence, did you know that we get
applications for drilling variances...
433
00:27:08,569 --> 00:27:11,300
from wildcatters all over the state
every day in our office.
434
00:27:11,573 --> 00:27:14,304
If we overturn that ruling
that we made in a public hearing...
435
00:27:14,576 --> 00:27:17,341
and allow J.R. to keep his variance.
Then sooner or later...
436
00:27:17,620 --> 00:27:20,510
we are going to have to allow
other variances, and then what?
437
00:27:21,917 --> 00:27:24,523
I think we can deal with that issue
at another time.
438
00:27:24,794 --> 00:27:28,958
I'd like a vote now on whether we allow
J.R. Ewing to continue his variance.
439
00:27:29,299 --> 00:27:30,949
I think we should vote...
440
00:27:32,803 --> 00:27:35,454
unless Mrs. Krebbs
has something new to add.
441
00:27:35,722 --> 00:27:38,009
Well. As a matter of fact, I do.
442
00:27:39,768 --> 00:27:43,090
This is a...
An environmental-impact report...
443
00:27:43,397 --> 00:27:45,923
I would really like to draw
to your attention.
444
00:27:52,448 --> 00:27:54,974
- Yeah?
- Mr. Smithfield is here.
445
00:27:55,243 --> 00:27:57,450
Send him in.
Ask Bobby to come in too. Would you?
446
00:27:57,703 --> 00:27:59,273
Yes, sir.
447
00:28:03,126 --> 00:28:05,208
- Hey. Harv.
- J.R. Glad you could see me tonight.
448
00:28:05,461 --> 00:28:07,304
- It's pretty important issue.
- Yes. It is.
449
00:28:07,547 --> 00:28:08,708
- Harv.
- Bobby.
450
00:28:08,923 --> 00:28:10,971
- Like a drink?
- Yes. Please. No ice.
451
00:28:11,217 --> 00:28:13,788
Well. How did it go with Mama?
452
00:28:15,472 --> 00:28:18,555
She's got me between a rock
and a hard place. Boys.
453
00:28:23,480 --> 00:28:27,530
- I imagine she was pretty upset.
- Yes. Considerably. So did Pamela.
454
00:28:28,694 --> 00:28:30,059
- Pamela?
- Yes.
455
00:28:30,279 --> 00:28:33,522
Matter of fact, she offered Miss Ellie
quite a bit of moral support.
456
00:28:34,825 --> 00:28:39,114
Say. Harv. I know this is tough on you...
457
00:28:39,872 --> 00:28:43,035
but I take it you're going
to protect Daddy's wishes.
458
00:28:43,334 --> 00:28:44,381
Of course.
459
00:28:46,378 --> 00:28:49,109
If Miss Ellie pursues the case
with another lawyer...
460
00:28:49,382 --> 00:28:51,430
I'll have to be in court.
461
00:28:51,801 --> 00:28:54,088
And we'll be on opposite sides.
462
00:28:54,345 --> 00:28:57,667
- I don't like it. I don't like it at all.
- Somebody's gotta speak for Daddy.
463
00:28:58,349 --> 00:29:01,159
I promise you 100 percent
cooperation from me.
464
00:29:01,436 --> 00:29:04,724
What she's doing is dead wrong.
I honestly believe that.
465
00:29:05,190 --> 00:29:06,680
Well. Bobby?
466
00:29:06,900 --> 00:29:08,311
We gonna work together on this?
467
00:29:11,112 --> 00:29:12,477
Come on. Harv has to know.
468
00:29:14,241 --> 00:29:18,087
Do you want him to go into court alone
or do you want to get behind him...
469
00:29:18,411 --> 00:29:21,574
and defend Daddy's right to say
how he wanted this company run?
470
00:29:22,958 --> 00:29:24,005
I'm with you, Harv.
471
00:29:25,711 --> 00:29:27,998
There you are.
You got our full cooperation.
472
00:29:28,255 --> 00:29:30,337
The Ewing brothers
are working together.
473
00:29:30,591 --> 00:29:31,956
Thanks. Boys.
474
00:29:32,176 --> 00:29:34,144
This is not a fight
I'm looking forward to.
475
00:29:35,721 --> 00:29:37,849
- Yeah?
- Bobby has a phone call.
476
00:29:38,098 --> 00:29:39,099
I'll take it here.
477
00:29:39,850 --> 00:29:41,215
- Put it through here.
- Yes, sir.
478
00:29:41,435 --> 00:29:43,324
Thanks. Harv. Appreciate it.
479
00:29:47,358 --> 00:29:51,044
- Hello.
- Bobby. Are you in your office?
480
00:29:51,362 --> 00:29:53,364
No. Donna. I'm not.
481
00:29:53,906 --> 00:29:55,112
HI call you back.
482
00:29:55,324 --> 00:29:56,894
No. No. It's all right.
483
00:29:58,620 --> 00:30:00,668
J.R. gets to keep his variance.
484
00:30:03,708 --> 00:30:06,359
Well. Thanks for
letting me know anyway.
485
00:30:07,253 --> 00:30:10,416
- I'll talk to you later.
- Yeah. Goodbye.
486
00:30:12,551 --> 00:30:13,837
Not bad news. I hope.
487
00:30:35,449 --> 00:30:38,259
It would have been more fun
if we double-dated.
488
00:30:38,536 --> 00:30:40,698
I'm sorry
if you didn't have a good time...
489
00:30:40,955 --> 00:30:44,038
but I told you I am not ready to date.
490
00:30:44,333 --> 00:30:47,576
Well. I think it would be good for you.
491
00:30:47,879 --> 00:30:50,723
You make it sound
like a visit to the doctor.
492
00:30:53,134 --> 00:30:56,934
Well. Now I know when
you're allowed outdoors, only at night.
493
00:30:57,263 --> 00:31:00,312
Just what we needed
to spoil a pleasant evening.
494
00:31:00,809 --> 00:31:03,415
Aren't you gonna introduce me
to your beautiful friend?
495
00:31:04,771 --> 00:31:07,456
Muriel Gillis. This is Mickey Trotter.
496
00:31:07,732 --> 00:31:09,894
He's Ray's cousin.
Our newest ranch hand.
497
00:31:10,444 --> 00:31:12,492
Nice to meet you.
498
00:31:13,989 --> 00:31:15,673
My pleasure.
499
00:31:15,907 --> 00:31:18,478
Well. Lucy.
At least your friends are nice.
500
00:31:19,369 --> 00:31:23,010
You know. I just have to drop this stuff
off with Miss Ellie and then I'm free.
501
00:31:23,332 --> 00:31:25,903
What do you say? Wanna go
into Braddock and have a beer?
502
00:31:28,128 --> 00:31:29,857
I don't know.
503
00:31:31,507 --> 00:31:34,033
Well. If you're worried about Lucy.
She can tag along.
504
00:31:34,301 --> 00:31:35,382
Gee. Thanks.
505
00:31:35,594 --> 00:31:38,325
Hey. I asked you once
and you turned me down.
506
00:31:39,181 --> 00:31:40,990
What do you say. Muriel?
507
00:31:41,392 --> 00:31:45,078
Thank you very much, but I can't.
508
00:31:46,314 --> 00:31:49,557
Well. At least I'm getting turned down
by a better class of people.
509
00:31:49,859 --> 00:31:52,783
- See you around.
- Yes.
510
00:31:57,575 --> 00:32:00,260
Come on. Muriel. I wanna go for a drive.
511
00:32:00,829 --> 00:32:02,638
Why?
512
00:32:03,415 --> 00:32:06,339
Because I don't want to be here
when he comes out.
513
00:32:06,668 --> 00:32:09,433
Lucy. I don't understand you.
514
00:32:09,963 --> 00:32:15,288
He's very attractive
and I think he likes you.
515
00:32:15,719 --> 00:32:19,087
Didn't you hear him?
He's got some mouth on him.
516
00:32:19,390 --> 00:32:21,438
Besides. He's too young for me.
517
00:32:21,684 --> 00:32:24,494
Don't knock it until you've tried it.
518
00:32:46,960 --> 00:32:48,644
Ready for dinner?
519
00:32:50,755 --> 00:32:52,519
Should I go out and come back in again?
520
00:32:52,757 --> 00:32:55,647
I remember when one of my kisses
used to get your engine running.
521
00:32:55,927 --> 00:33:00,171
Harv Smithfield said you were
with Mama when she went to see him.
522
00:33:02,267 --> 00:33:05,077
Is that why you're sitting here
like some kind of ice sculpture?
523
00:33:05,354 --> 00:33:07,163
Damn it, Pam.
524
00:33:08,273 --> 00:33:09,354
It's not a joke.
525
00:33:10,943 --> 00:33:12,832
Why are you taking Mama's side
against me?
526
00:33:13,070 --> 00:33:14,356
I'm not against anything.
527
00:33:14,571 --> 00:33:16,414
I'm for what I believe is right.
528
00:33:16,657 --> 00:33:18,227
Miss Ellie is right.
529
00:33:20,619 --> 00:33:22,348
Pamela. You don't understand.
530
00:33:22,580 --> 00:33:26,471
Bobby. We don't need all of this.
Let Miss Ellie sell Ewing Oil.
531
00:33:26,792 --> 00:33:30,274
Spend some time with your family.
Let Christopher get to know his daddy.
532
00:33:30,588 --> 00:33:33,114
Why are you doing this when
I need you beside me the most?
533
00:33:33,382 --> 00:33:35,032
Sue Ellen's not fighting J.R.
534
00:33:35,510 --> 00:33:39,310
Sue Ellen and I get along fine now.
But I'm not Sue Ellen.
535
00:33:39,639 --> 00:33:44,566
Power. Money and wealth.
They don't mean that much to me.
536
00:33:44,936 --> 00:33:48,224
I want a nice, ordinary life
with my husband.
537
00:33:48,523 --> 00:33:49,888
I love you.
538
00:33:50,108 --> 00:33:51,598
I love you so much.
539
00:33:51,818 --> 00:33:53,547
I hope so.
540
00:33:53,945 --> 00:33:56,789
Because I love you too
and I want you beside me...
541
00:33:57,073 --> 00:33:59,883
but I'm gonna do everything I can
to stop Mama.
542
00:34:00,160 --> 00:34:01,685
And then I'm gonna beat J.R.
543
00:34:01,912 --> 00:34:04,358
And then I'm gonna run
Ewing Oil permanently.
544
00:34:23,017 --> 00:34:25,941
I don't mean to drag you into
what's really a family problem.
545
00:34:26,228 --> 00:34:28,071
I'm glad you called.
546
00:34:29,106 --> 00:34:31,234
I can understand your dilemma.
547
00:34:31,859 --> 00:34:36,023
Well. When Harv Smithfield
turned me down...
548
00:34:36,489 --> 00:34:38,935
even said that he'd fight me...
549
00:34:39,200 --> 00:34:42,568
I felt the rug had been pulled
right out from under me.
550
00:34:42,871 --> 00:34:45,078
Don't be too harsh on Smithfield.
551
00:34:45,331 --> 00:34:47,413
You really put him on the spot.
552
00:34:47,667 --> 00:34:49,556
I guess so.
553
00:34:50,003 --> 00:34:53,212
But I can't help feeling that
if he's going to oppose me...
554
00:34:53,507 --> 00:34:56,909
I don't want him recommending
the lawyer that's gonna handle my case.
555
00:34:57,219 --> 00:35:00,985
Miss Ellie. It doesn't work that way
with ethical lawyers.
556
00:35:01,306 --> 00:35:03,354
Smithfield has a superb reputation.
557
00:35:03,600 --> 00:35:06,729
And I'm sure that he'd recommend
only the finest attorneys.
558
00:35:07,688 --> 00:35:11,898
No. I... I wouldn't feel right
going back to him now.
559
00:35:13,068 --> 00:35:15,639
Well. If you really want to
find an estate lawyer...
560
00:35:15,905 --> 00:35:18,670
I can recommend a man.
Brooks Oliver.
561
00:35:18,949 --> 00:35:21,600
He's certainly the finest in Texas.
Fine gentleman.
562
00:35:21,869 --> 00:35:23,917
I'll call him tomorrow.
563
00:35:24,247 --> 00:35:27,410
Let me call him first.
Pave the way for you.
564
00:35:27,708 --> 00:35:30,871
Thanks. Clayton. I'd appreciate that.
565
00:35:31,170 --> 00:35:32,660
Clayton.
566
00:35:35,216 --> 00:35:37,662
- Sue Ellen.
- Clayton.
567
00:35:37,927 --> 00:35:41,898
Looks like you spend a hell of a lot more
time in Dallas than you do in San Angelo.
568
00:35:42,390 --> 00:35:43,676
I get around, J.R.
569
00:35:44,142 --> 00:35:47,351
Yeah. I can see that.
You and Mama look very cozy.
570
00:35:47,646 --> 00:35:50,650
J.R.. I called Clayton.
I wanted some advice.
571
00:35:51,858 --> 00:35:54,668
Your mother needs a lawyer. J.R..
But I'm sure you knew that.
572
00:35:54,945 --> 00:35:56,231
It's family business.
573
00:35:56,446 --> 00:35:59,097
J.R.. Clayton is only trying
to be a good friend.
574
00:35:59,366 --> 00:36:01,050
Clayton has no right to get involved.
575
00:36:01,577 --> 00:36:04,547
- You planning to throw me out?
- Now. J.R.. that's enough.
576
00:36:04,830 --> 00:36:07,310
I still have some say about
what goes on in this house...
577
00:36:07,583 --> 00:36:10,154
and right now.
I want to speak to Clayton alone.
578
00:36:11,253 --> 00:36:12,584
Sure.
579
00:36:13,756 --> 00:36:15,246
Sue Ellen.
580
00:36:17,551 --> 00:36:20,077
- Good night. Sue Ellen.
- Good night. Clayton.
581
00:36:20,346 --> 00:36:21,791
Sue Ellen.
582
00:36:28,980 --> 00:36:30,550
I'm sorry. Clayton.
583
00:36:31,983 --> 00:36:33,553
Don't be.
584
00:36:33,776 --> 00:36:35,858
I can handle J.R.
585
00:36:38,990 --> 00:36:42,392
That Clayton Farlow certainly
is attracted to Ewing women.
586
00:36:43,495 --> 00:36:46,465
J.R.. there is nothing romantic
between Miss Ellie and Clayton.
587
00:36:46,748 --> 00:36:50,673
I think it's reasonable that she would
ask Clayton help her find a lawyer.
588
00:36:51,003 --> 00:36:54,166
Well. I promise you one thing.
I'm gonna win this fight with Mama.
589
00:36:54,464 --> 00:36:58,753
Nobody's gonna take Ewing Oil from me.
Not Mama. Not Bobby. Anybody.
590
00:36:59,219 --> 00:37:03,019
When this contest is over with Bobby.
There's not gonna be a thing left for him.
591
00:37:03,349 --> 00:37:05,556
He's gonna have to pack up.
Leave Southfork...
592
00:37:05,809 --> 00:37:07,891
take that little wife and baby
with him.
593
00:37:08,562 --> 00:37:10,405
J.R.. it doesn't have to be that way.
594
00:37:10,648 --> 00:37:12,218
Yes. It does.
595
00:37:12,650 --> 00:37:17,611
Not one member of my family is ever
gonna interfere with Ewing Oil again.
596
00:37:19,532 --> 00:37:21,341
What about your mother?
597
00:37:21,909 --> 00:37:23,354
She's here.
598
00:37:23,578 --> 00:37:26,548
She is mistress of Southfork.
599
00:37:27,874 --> 00:37:29,683
In name only.
600
00:37:30,460 --> 00:37:33,384
When she fails to overturn
my daddy's will...
601
00:37:33,755 --> 00:37:36,361
I'm gonna be the power here
in Southfork.
602
00:37:37,300 --> 00:37:40,383
And you. My darling.
Are gonna share that power with me.
603
00:37:46,101 --> 00:37:48,991
There': A Mr. J.R. Ewing downstairs.
604
00:37:49,271 --> 00:37:50,682
Send him up.
605
00:37:55,527 --> 00:37:58,258
- Hello. Holly.
- J.R.
606
00:37:58,530 --> 00:37:59,895
- Thank you...
- Elliot.
607
00:38:00,115 --> 00:38:02,004
Elliot. Thanks very much. Appreciate it.
608
00:38:02,910 --> 00:38:05,800
Oh. Nice little place you got here.
609
00:38:06,122 --> 00:38:08,853
I've known of a lot of things
that can go on in a bedroom...
610
00:38:09,125 --> 00:38:12,572
but this is the first time I've
ever seen an oil company run from one.
611
00:38:12,962 --> 00:38:16,603
You know as many oil deals are made
in bedrooms as in boardrooms. J.R.
612
00:38:17,467 --> 00:38:19,629
Touch?. Holly. Touch?.
613
00:38:20,178 --> 00:38:23,182
I suppose it's kind of tough
on your male secretary.
614
00:38:23,890 --> 00:38:27,417
I guess working in these surroundings
couldn't help his concentration...
615
00:38:27,727 --> 00:38:29,536
especially on his typing
and shorthand.
616
00:38:30,980 --> 00:38:34,462
I'm sure you're not here to discuss
my secretary's working conditions.
617
00:38:34,818 --> 00:38:37,344
Well. No. As a matter of fact, I'm not.
618
00:38:37,612 --> 00:38:40,297
Holly. The only way I can stay
well ahead of Bobby...
619
00:38:40,574 --> 00:38:44,659
is to continue to expand
my gasoline-station operations.
620
00:38:44,995 --> 00:38:49,796
And the only thing standing in way
of that is, as usual. Refinery space.
621
00:38:51,001 --> 00:38:56,610
Listen. When we struck a deal
giving you 25 percent of Harwood Oil...
622
00:38:57,007 --> 00:39:00,534
it was for you to build Harwood.
Not Ewing.
623
00:39:00,886 --> 00:39:03,287
All you care about is Ewing. Isn't it?
624
00:39:03,556 --> 00:39:08,005
You don't expect me to turn my back
on a company my daddy built. Do you?
625
00:39:08,895 --> 00:39:12,024
Of course not.
And I'm taking care of Harwood Oil too.
626
00:39:12,315 --> 00:39:13,555
I wonder.
627
00:39:14,067 --> 00:39:16,115
Have you taken a look
at your profits lately?
628
00:39:16,361 --> 00:39:18,329
Yes. They're good.
629
00:39:18,571 --> 00:39:21,177
The sale of those gas stations
to your dummy corporation...
630
00:39:21,449 --> 00:39:23,019
was responsible for a lot of it.
631
00:39:23,618 --> 00:39:25,541
How are we coming with the refinery?
632
00:39:25,787 --> 00:39:27,312
Have you canceled those contracts?
633
00:39:27,539 --> 00:39:29,382
I'm gonna need your full capacity.
634
00:39:29,874 --> 00:39:32,923
You're not gonna get full capacity. J.R.
635
00:39:33,211 --> 00:39:36,055
One of our major contracts
is with the military.
636
00:39:36,381 --> 00:39:38,190
Were you aware of that?
637
00:39:38,425 --> 00:39:41,668
Holly. You're just gonna have to solve
that problem yourself.
638
00:39:41,970 --> 00:39:45,053
Now. I suggest you get your pretty butt
out of this pleasure palace...
639
00:39:45,349 --> 00:39:47,317
and start canceling contracts.
640
00:39:47,559 --> 00:39:51,006
- But. J.R...
- My patience is running thin, darling.
641
00:39:51,313 --> 00:39:53,202
You know what to do.
642
00:39:53,440 --> 00:39:54,930
Do it.
643
00:40:01,157 --> 00:40:04,764
No. Ted. What I want is not as drastic
as asking the Energy Commission...
644
00:40:05,077 --> 00:40:07,125
for the same kind of variance
that J.R. got.
645
00:40:07,413 --> 00:40:09,700
I agree. But what you're asking for...
646
00:40:09,957 --> 00:40:13,279
is to eliminate our voluntary
25-percent cutback...
647
00:40:13,628 --> 00:40:15,915
so that you can bring
your half of Ewing wells...
648
00:40:16,172 --> 00:40:18,652
- back up to allowable capacity.
- Exactly.
649
00:40:19,175 --> 00:40:23,021
That means that you're gonna flood the
market with oil when there's a surplus.
650
00:40:23,346 --> 00:40:24,996
It'll cost you a fortune to store it.
651
00:40:25,265 --> 00:40:27,552
I'm not gonna store it.
I'm gonna sell it.
652
00:40:27,809 --> 00:40:29,937
You know what shape
my half of the company is in.
653
00:40:30,187 --> 00:40:32,349
I need revenues. Yes. Phyllis.
654
00:40:32,647 --> 00:40:34,251
Mr. Lee and Mr. Bradley are here.
655
00:40:34,483 --> 00:40:35,848
Send them in. Please.
656
00:40:36,068 --> 00:40:37,797
That will do it for now.
657
00:40:38,862 --> 00:40:41,593
You notify the men in the fields
as soon as you can, okay?
658
00:40:41,865 --> 00:40:43,276
Okay. Bobby.
659
00:40:43,492 --> 00:40:44,618
Gentlemen.
660
00:40:44,827 --> 00:40:46,875
- Andy. Jordan.
- Bobby.
661
00:40:47,121 --> 00:40:48,532
Come on in. Sit down.
662
00:40:48,747 --> 00:40:52,672
Well. I didn't think I'd be standing
on Ewing property again so soon.
663
00:40:53,002 --> 00:40:55,403
I'd like you to convey my apologies
to Miss Ellie...
664
00:40:55,671 --> 00:40:59,312
for my behavior at the barbecue.
I... I was way out of line.
665
00:41:00,134 --> 00:41:03,138
If you'd like to speak to Mama.
I suggest you call her yourself.
666
00:41:03,429 --> 00:41:05,955
I'd like to keep this meeting
strictly business.
667
00:41:06,849 --> 00:41:08,260
Then get on with it.
668
00:41:09,185 --> 00:41:13,110
Now. Some time ago. The cartel and
Ewing Oil went in on a deal together...
669
00:41:13,439 --> 00:41:17,763
and brought in some lucrative wells on
a large tract called the Wellington land.
670
00:41:18,111 --> 00:41:21,320
That's an old deal. Why are you
bringing that up now. Bobby?
671
00:41:21,865 --> 00:41:25,870
I'm bringing it up because the Wellington
land is in my half of Ewing Oil.
672
00:41:26,453 --> 00:41:27,739
That's a rich property.
673
00:41:27,954 --> 00:41:30,719
Those wells will produce
for years and years to come.
674
00:41:31,458 --> 00:41:33,506
Yes. But right now
those wells are capped.
675
00:41:33,752 --> 00:41:35,834
We're not pumping
a drop of oil out them.
676
00:41:36,088 --> 00:41:38,898
Well. Of course.
Ewing Oil agreed to that decision.
677
00:41:39,174 --> 00:41:41,176
It's good business
to keep those wells capped.
678
00:41:41,427 --> 00:41:42,872
We don't need that oil right now.
679
00:41:44,471 --> 00:41:47,998
I need it, and I want those wells
uncapped and pumping.
680
00:41:48,851 --> 00:41:50,137
That's ridiculous.
681
00:41:50,352 --> 00:41:51,717
There's a surplus.
682
00:41:51,937 --> 00:41:54,588
I intend to sell every drop of oil
I can pump.
683
00:41:55,900 --> 00:41:57,550
What are you up to. Bobby?
684
00:41:57,777 --> 00:42:01,543
You gonna follow J.R. and open
your own string of cut-rate stations?
685
00:42:02,281 --> 00:42:05,842
No. But I will sell that oil
for whatever price I can get for it.
686
00:42:06,452 --> 00:42:08,614
You mean you'd cut our throats?
687
00:42:08,913 --> 00:42:12,201
If the cartel wants to keep
the oil prices high. That's their business.
688
00:42:12,500 --> 00:42:14,628
I need profits and I need them fast.
689
00:42:15,170 --> 00:42:16,660
Well. I'm dead set against it.
690
00:42:16,880 --> 00:42:18,644
Come on. Andy.
691
00:42:23,303 --> 00:42:27,194
You can hang before I'll agree
to open that damn field. Bobby.
692
00:42:33,897 --> 00:42:35,137
Well. Frankly. Mrs. Ewing...
693
00:42:35,357 --> 00:42:37,803
I don't know how the two of us
have been able to...
694
00:42:38,068 --> 00:42:40,992
live in Dallas so many years
and never meet.
695
00:42:41,280 --> 00:42:45,729
Well. I'm sure we have met. Mr. Oliver.
At one social function or another.
696
00:42:46,077 --> 00:42:48,921
Perhaps. But I'm certain
I would have remembered you.
697
00:42:49,205 --> 00:42:51,492
- Well. Thank you.
- May I offer you tea?
698
00:42:51,749 --> 00:42:53,353
No. Thank you.
699
00:42:53,584 --> 00:42:56,633
Now. Clayton Farlow
told me very little...
700
00:42:56,921 --> 00:42:59,322
but he thought I might be able to help.
701
00:42:59,590 --> 00:43:01,160
Why don't you tell me your problem.
702
00:43:01,759 --> 00:43:06,003
You're aware that my husband was
declared legally dead not too long ago.
703
00:43:06,347 --> 00:43:07,712
Yes. Of course.
704
00:43:08,558 --> 00:43:12,404
And I also know.
In a rather sketchy way...
705
00:43:12,729 --> 00:43:14,891
the unusual terms of his will.
706
00:43:15,732 --> 00:43:19,339
Then you know that my two sons are in
competition for control of the company.
707
00:43:19,653 --> 00:43:21,781
Yes. Bobby and J.R.
708
00:43:22,906 --> 00:43:25,876
And to spare you
any more embarrassment...
709
00:43:26,285 --> 00:43:30,085
I also know about the incident
at your barbecue last Sunday.
710
00:43:30,414 --> 00:43:34,897
My boys have always had a need
to prove themselves to their father.
711
00:43:35,252 --> 00:43:38,381
And now this need may be
the downfall of my family.
712
00:43:39,089 --> 00:43:40,853
- I see.
- Their rivalry...
713
00:43:41,092 --> 00:43:43,220
has become very destructive.
714
00:43:43,469 --> 00:43:46,075
And the company
that Jock wanted to preserve...
715
00:43:46,347 --> 00:43:49,908
may be destroyed by this competition.
716
00:43:50,226 --> 00:43:54,117
I just... I just can't understand
what possessed him to do it.
717
00:43:56,524 --> 00:44:01,325
Mrs. Ewing.
I take it the terms of the will...
718
00:44:01,696 --> 00:44:05,940
in regard to Ewing Oil
came as a total surprise to you?
719
00:44:06,284 --> 00:44:09,606
"Oh. That's" That's putting it mildly.
720
00:44:09,913 --> 00:44:14,077
It didn't sound the sort of arrangement
that your husband would make?
721
00:44:14,417 --> 00:44:15,543
No.
722
00:44:18,630 --> 00:44:20,234
Mrs. Ewing. What do you want to do?
723
00:44:20,757 --> 00:44:22,441
I want to challenge the will.
724
00:44:24,386 --> 00:44:26,912
Well. I can understand why.
725
00:44:29,141 --> 00:44:31,382
I suppose this is a matter
of some urgency.
726
00:44:31,644 --> 00:44:33,373
Absolutely.
727
00:44:33,604 --> 00:44:35,686
I was afraid of that
when I talked to Clayton...
728
00:44:35,940 --> 00:44:37,829
but I wanted to hear
what you had to say.
729
00:44:38,067 --> 00:44:39,592
Mrs. Ewing. At the moment...
730
00:44:39,819 --> 00:44:42,982
I'm on retainer.
Settling the estate of Mark Graison. Sr.
731
00:44:43,281 --> 00:44:44,521
Yes. I know the family.
732
00:44:44,740 --> 00:44:47,584
It's a vast estate. Very time-consuming.
733
00:44:47,869 --> 00:44:51,874
I'm not at all sure that Mark Jr. would
allow me to interrupt my work for him...
734
00:44:52,206 --> 00:44:53,970
to take your case, you see?
735
00:44:54,375 --> 00:44:56,503
Maybe I could talk to Mark Jr.
Would that help?
736
00:44:56,753 --> 00:44:57,800
Well. It might.
737
00:44:58,004 --> 00:45:00,530
I'd like to try and help you. Mrs. Ewing.
I really would.
738
00:45:00,799 --> 00:45:03,450
I'll meet with Mark as soon as possible.
739
00:45:05,804 --> 00:45:10,446
I didn't ask you, but how does a lawyer
go about breaking a will?
740
00:45:11,893 --> 00:45:15,818
- It's premature. I'd have to read it first.
- I see.
741
00:45:17,024 --> 00:45:21,552
But the usual way
would be to call into serious question...
742
00:45:21,904 --> 00:45:24,510
your husband's mental competence
at the time the will...
743
00:45:24,782 --> 00:45:26,910
or any subsequent codicil
was written.
744
00:45:27,159 --> 00:45:29,446
Mental competence?
745
00:45:30,663 --> 00:45:33,234
We don't have to go into that right now.
746
00:45:34,166 --> 00:45:37,887
No. I guess not.
747
00:45:43,259 --> 00:45:45,739
Because of that.
Miss Ellie has gone to see an attorney.
748
00:45:46,387 --> 00:45:48,196
She's going to contest Jack's will.
749
00:45:48,431 --> 00:45:52,322
She can't stand the fact that even
old family friends are being driven away.
750
00:45:53,353 --> 00:45:56,118
It must be very difficult for Ellie.
751
00:45:57,399 --> 00:45:59,527
She worshipped that man.
752
00:45:59,985 --> 00:46:02,272
How could she question his judgment?
753
00:46:03,029 --> 00:46:04,872
Well. She doesn't have any choice.
754
00:46:06,992 --> 00:46:09,916
I'm sure J.R. will fight her.
What about Bobby?
755
00:46:10,871 --> 00:46:12,111
He's with J.R.
756
00:46:12,331 --> 00:46:13,901
What about you?
757
00:46:14,666 --> 00:46:16,077
I think Miss Ellie's right.
758
00:46:16,752 --> 00:46:19,756
That puts you and Bobby
on opposite sides.
759
00:46:20,422 --> 00:46:22,151
You think your marriage can stand that?
760
00:46:22,383 --> 00:46:25,751
I don't know. But I know it couldn't
go on this way much longer.
761
00:46:27,137 --> 00:46:30,425
Please don't put any more pressure
on the Ewings right now. All right?
762
00:46:32,518 --> 00:46:33,849
All right.
763
00:46:36,272 --> 00:46:38,718
Do you think Ellie would see me
if I come to Southfork?
764
00:46:39,233 --> 00:46:41,998
- I'm sure she would.
- I'll call her.
765
00:46:44,030 --> 00:46:47,557
You know. Pam.
If J.R. would change his tactics...
766
00:46:47,867 --> 00:46:49,995
Ellie wouldn't have to go
through this hell.
767
00:46:50,620 --> 00:46:52,782
The Energy Commission
got the message.
768
00:46:53,039 --> 00:46:56,600
The American public wants gasoline
they can afford. I can give it to them.
769
00:46:56,918 --> 00:46:58,841
You feel the people
were the real winners...
770
00:46:59,087 --> 00:47:01,977
when the Commission allowed
your variance to remain in effect?
771
00:47:02,257 --> 00:47:05,545
Oh. Yes. Absolutely. With the price
of everything going sky-high...
772
00:47:05,844 --> 00:47:09,485
I can reduce the cost of gasoline
and. By gully. I'm proud of that.
773
00:47:09,848 --> 00:47:12,454
There are many who think
that this was used...
774
00:47:12,726 --> 00:47:15,047
to wrest control of the company
from your brother.
775
00:47:15,604 --> 00:47:19,893
Well. Teri. I'm a strong believer
in open and free competition...
776
00:47:20,234 --> 00:47:22,362
and if competition between
my brother and I...
777
00:47:22,611 --> 00:47:26,332
results in a break for the consumer.
Then what's to argue about that?
778
00:47:26,949 --> 00:47:30,032
And how long can we expect
this break for the consumer to go on?
779
00:47:30,328 --> 00:47:32,535
As long as the profiteers
stay off my back...
780
00:47:32,788 --> 00:47:35,189
and. Of course. The government
doesn't interfere.
781
00:47:42,799 --> 00:47:46,690
Bobby Ewing. You know your brother's
philosophy. Do you care to comment?
782
00:47:47,345 --> 00:47:50,747
Anything I'd have to say
wouldn't be suitable for television.
783
00:47:52,851 --> 00:47:56,492
J.R.. you heard what your brother
had to say. He wouldn't speak to us.
784
00:47:56,813 --> 00:47:59,054
Do you have anything else
you'd like to add?
785
00:47:59,316 --> 00:48:01,364
Well. There's nothing much to add.
Is there?
786
00:48:01,610 --> 00:48:05,934
As you can see, there is only one Ewing
who really cares about the little man.
787
00:48:06,281 --> 00:48:08,522
And I'm having not only
to fight the oilmen...
788
00:48:08,784 --> 00:48:11,071
and the politicians in Austin
and Washington...
789
00:48:11,328 --> 00:48:14,969
but I have to fight my little brother
to get the price of gasoline down.
790
00:48:15,291 --> 00:48:18,534
But I know. Teri. With your help.
And the help of the rest of the media...
791
00:48:18,836 --> 00:48:23,319
Mr. and Mrs. Average Citizen will
know that someone cares about them.
792
00:48:23,674 --> 00:48:26,154
That somebody is on their side.
793
00:48:26,427 --> 00:48:29,636
And that somebody is J.R. Ewing.
794
00:48:29,686 --> 00:48:34,236
