1 00:00:02,360 --> 00:00:05,887 There is an intra-company rivalry going on between you and your brother. 2 00:00:06,197 --> 00:00:10,441 I love my brother. But he does not have the strength to run Ewing Oil. 3 00:00:10,784 --> 00:00:12,752 I know it. And the whole family knows it. 4 00:00:12,994 --> 00:00:14,917 My brother thinks I can't play hardball. 5 00:00:15,163 --> 00:00:18,724 Sweetheart, I'll have the pleasure of stuffing that ball down his throat. 6 00:00:19,041 --> 00:00:20,452 I'm gonna side with Miss Ellie. 7 00:00:20,668 --> 00:00:22,955 I'll fight you and Bobby. Every step of the way. 8 00:00:23,212 --> 00:00:25,579 She has to know exactly what she's getting into... 9 00:00:25,839 --> 00:00:29,321 - if she wants to go to court. - I don't want to do any of this. 10 00:00:29,634 --> 00:00:30,840 I have to! 11 00:02:00,005 --> 00:02:01,609 Jock... 12 00:02:02,091 --> 00:02:04,776 you're putting me through hell. 13 00:02:09,889 --> 00:02:13,371 How can I fight you when you're not even here? 14 00:02:35,370 --> 00:02:38,533 Miss Ellie. Why are you sitting in the dark? 15 00:02:38,998 --> 00:02:41,649 No reason. I was just thinking. 16 00:02:42,251 --> 00:02:44,060 Turn on a light. 17 00:02:47,589 --> 00:02:50,035 I wanted to know how your meeting went. 18 00:02:50,508 --> 00:02:52,351 With Brooks Oliver. 19 00:02:53,136 --> 00:02:55,707 It was very general. 20 00:02:55,971 --> 00:02:58,258 He needs to get permission from one of his clients... 21 00:02:58,515 --> 00:03:00,165 before he can represent me... 22 00:03:00,392 --> 00:03:02,633 but he thinks I might have a case. 23 00:03:02,894 --> 00:03:04,384 Well. Good. 24 00:03:05,438 --> 00:03:08,920 To do it, though I'm going to have to claim... 25 00:03:09,233 --> 00:03:13,841 that when Jock wrote the codicil he was mentally incompetent. 26 00:03:15,864 --> 00:03:18,231 Well. There must be other grounds. 27 00:03:18,491 --> 00:03:21,734 No. None I can win with. According to the lawyer. 28 00:03:28,166 --> 00:03:31,852 Miss Ellie. The Jock we all knew is not the man who wrote that codicil. 29 00:03:32,462 --> 00:03:35,272 He loved his sons too much to let them destroy each other. 30 00:03:36,799 --> 00:03:39,040 Jock was not mentally incompetent. 31 00:03:39,301 --> 00:03:41,508 He was a very rational man. 32 00:03:41,762 --> 00:03:45,403 Miss Ellie. Please. You've gone this far. Don't turn back now. 33 00:03:45,724 --> 00:03:47,533 Jock. God bless him. Lived his life. 34 00:03:47,767 --> 00:03:49,451 What you do now can't hurt him. 35 00:03:49,685 --> 00:03:53,007 But the battle he left behind is tearing a whole family apart. 36 00:03:53,314 --> 00:03:56,238 You owe it just as much to Jock to have that will overturned. 37 00:03:56,900 --> 00:03:58,823 I don't know. Pam. 38 00:03:59,069 --> 00:04:01,640 I'm having second thoughts. 39 00:04:02,655 --> 00:04:05,659 Looky there. Everybody lined up. Getting ready to watch television? 40 00:04:05,950 --> 00:04:07,679 Why? Ls there something we should watch? 41 00:04:07,910 --> 00:04:10,481 - Sure is. - J.R. was interviewed by the news. 42 00:04:10,912 --> 00:04:12,437 Well. I can miss that. 43 00:04:12,664 --> 00:04:14,905 - Bobby not home yet? - He's still at the office. 44 00:04:15,166 --> 00:04:16,770 Well. Why don't you call him. Pam? 45 00:04:17,001 --> 00:04:20,448 He wouldn't wanna miss all the warm and wonderful things I said about him. 46 00:04:23,006 --> 00:04:24,337 Good night. Miss Ellie. 47 00:04:24,883 --> 00:04:27,011 - Good night. Pam. - Good night. 48 00:04:29,095 --> 00:04:31,257 Can I freshen up your drink. Mama? 49 00:04:31,764 --> 00:04:34,768 No. Thank you. I'm going to bed. 50 00:04:35,893 --> 00:04:37,975 You're not gonna watch the show? 51 00:04:38,770 --> 00:04:44,379 No. I don't care to watch my two sons attack each other in public. 52 00:04:46,402 --> 00:04:50,123 Attack? I haven't even loaded my guns yet. 53 00:04:50,989 --> 00:04:53,390 Okay. Let's watch this thing. 54 00:04:54,201 --> 00:04:55,851 That does I! For local news. 55 00:04:56,077 --> 00:04:58,523 Coming up next, we have Pete Decker with the weather... 56 00:04:58,788 --> 00:05:02,349 which, hopefully, will remain just as pretty as it's been all week. 57 00:05:02,666 --> 00:05:05,476 And following Pete, we have an interview with Mr. J.R. Ewing. 58 00:05:05,919 --> 00:05:08,968 The man who's starting in be known as the king of cut-rate gas. 59 00:05:09,255 --> 00:05:12,099 Mr. Ewing has some interesting things to say about gas and oil... 60 00:05:12,383 --> 00:05:16,627 and fascinating things to say about the battle raging within the Ewing empire. 61 00:05:19,515 --> 00:05:22,837 Craig. It just doesn't sound reasonable. That's all. 62 00:05:23,143 --> 00:05:27,307 It's a basic multi-partner situation. From what I can see. 63 00:05:27,647 --> 00:05:32,938 The majority wants to keep these fields closed, they've got the right. 64 00:05:33,318 --> 00:05:36,561 Of course the cartel doesn't mind if the Wellington fields are closed... 65 00:05:36,863 --> 00:05:38,592 they don't need the revenues. I do. 66 00:05:38,823 --> 00:05:41,588 Well. I'll see what we can find in the small print. 67 00:05:41,868 --> 00:05:44,792 All right. There's gotta be a way. J.R. negotiated that contract. 68 00:05:45,079 --> 00:05:47,207 I know he wouldn't paint himself into a corner. 69 00:05:47,456 --> 00:05:48,662 We'll see. 70 00:05:48,874 --> 00:05:52,196 There's a lot of words here. Could take some time to go through all of it. 71 00:05:52,502 --> 00:05:54,027 Give yourself a day. 72 00:05:54,253 --> 00:05:55,743 I was thinking of a week. 73 00:05:55,963 --> 00:05:58,284 I'm thinking of tomorrow. 74 00:06:08,266 --> 00:06:11,190 And you know what the worst part is? The whole thing was a farce. 75 00:06:11,477 --> 00:06:14,083 I mean. You should've heard them. You should've heard them. 76 00:06:14,355 --> 00:06:15,516 You talk about cowards. 77 00:06:15,731 --> 00:06:19,372 Oh. Boy. I mean. The OLM doesn't have a thing on them. 78 00:06:19,693 --> 00:06:22,014 - At least they're honest. - Honest? 79 00:06:22,278 --> 00:06:24,884 They are going to allow J.R. to keep his variance. 80 00:06:25,156 --> 00:06:26,681 That is stupid. That is stupid. 81 00:06:26,907 --> 00:06:29,717 What I mean is. When you're dealing with a man that's honest... 82 00:06:29,993 --> 00:06:32,439 you at least got a chance to change his mind. 83 00:06:32,704 --> 00:06:34,627 Well. You know what? I don't care. 84 00:06:34,873 --> 00:06:38,400 Because I have decided to quit the committee. 85 00:06:38,709 --> 00:06:41,110 Now. Hold on a minute. 86 00:06:41,712 --> 00:06:44,318 Really. I mean. I cannot work with people like that. I... 87 00:06:44,590 --> 00:06:46,513 Donna. You're not a quitter. 88 00:06:46,758 --> 00:06:49,204 I didn't say I was a quitter. But I'm not blind either. 89 00:06:49,469 --> 00:06:52,598 I mean. I know a brick wall when it's staring me in the face. 90 00:06:52,888 --> 00:06:55,255 - Now. Just sit down. - Ray. Let's just go to bed. 91 00:06:55,516 --> 00:06:57,883 Just sit down. I wanna talk to you for a minute. 92 00:06:59,686 --> 00:07:00,847 Now. Look. 93 00:07:01,104 --> 00:07:05,314 I love the idea of you running around. Getting involved with politics. 94 00:07:05,650 --> 00:07:08,130 But you took a job. Now you do it. 95 00:07:08,402 --> 00:07:12,202 Every time I try to do it. I get voted down. 96 00:07:12,531 --> 00:07:15,296 You only got voted down once. Now. You get in there and fight! 97 00:07:15,575 --> 00:07:17,418 Well. I never heard you talk like that. 98 00:07:17,660 --> 00:07:21,301 Well. I never heard you talk about quitting anything before either. 99 00:07:21,872 --> 00:07:26,161 You stick with it. Talk those jerks into stopping J.R. 100 00:07:28,378 --> 00:07:31,621 That's all I'm gonna say. Let's go to bed now. 101 00:07:35,051 --> 00:07:36,735 Well. You coming? 102 00:07:37,678 --> 00:07:39,521 Yes. Sir. 103 00:07:51,565 --> 00:07:55,286 Push that one right there. Push it again. 104 00:07:56,611 --> 00:08:01,299 You haven't got the hang of this yet. There we go. Looky there. Ewing Oil. 105 00:08:01,657 --> 00:08:05,025 You know. I think we can probably program some video games in here. 106 00:08:05,327 --> 00:08:08,934 When this year is up. Your Uncle Bobby's gonna have so much time on his hands... 107 00:08:09,247 --> 00:08:11,693 he'll be able to play with you any time you want. 108 00:08:11,958 --> 00:08:14,199 Ewing Oil. Just a moment. I'll see. 109 00:08:14,460 --> 00:08:17,509 J.R.. it's Roy Ralston. 110 00:08:17,797 --> 00:08:20,198 - Who? - From the talk show. 111 00:08:20,466 --> 00:08:21,752 Roy Ralston? 112 00:08:21,967 --> 00:08:25,449 Oh. Yeah. Yeah. I'll take it in the office. 113 00:08:25,762 --> 00:08:27,844 Come on. John Ross. Come on. 114 00:08:30,308 --> 00:08:33,391 Come on. Now. Go over and play with that oil well over there.

So I'll be brief. 117 00:08:41,693 --> 00:08:44,503 I spoke to Mrs. Ewing a few moments ago. 118 00:08:44,779 --> 00:08:47,464 You do know about our talk show. Don't you? 119 00:08:48,324 --> 00:08:50,691 Well. I'm not exactly Rip van Winkle. You know. 120 00:08:52,577 --> 00:08:54,705 We'd be honored if you'd appear as our guest. 121 00:08:55,705 --> 00:08:56,911 A guest for what? 122 00:08:57,498 --> 00:09:01,025 Well. Selling gas at your kind of prices has made you the talk of Texas. 123 00:09:01,335 --> 00:09:03,542 So we'd like to discuss it with you on Talktime. 124 00:09:04,129 --> 00:09:07,053 Well. Yeah. Yeah. That'd be just fine. 125 00:09:07,340 --> 00:09:10,503 I think your audience ought to be set straight on what's going on. 126 00:09:10,802 --> 00:09:12,531 I'd like a chance to air my views. 127 00:09:13,137 --> 00:09:15,708 Wonderful. We'll get back to you with the schedule. Then. 128 00:09:15,973 --> 00:09:17,782 And I'm looking forward to meeting you. 129 00:09:18,225 --> 00:09:20,353 - My pleasure. - Bye-bye. 130 00:09:24,939 --> 00:09:26,703 Hey. John Ross. 131 00:09:27,358 --> 00:09:29,486 - You ever hear of Robin Hood? - Yeah. 132 00:09:29,735 --> 00:09:33,820 Yeah? Well. Your daddy is the Robin Hood of the oil business. 133 00:09:34,156 --> 00:09:37,842 Take from the poor, and give to the rich. You remember that. Now. 134 00:09:38,993 --> 00:09:41,155 Well. A talk show. 135 00:09:41,829 --> 00:09:43,877 There's no stopping us now. 136 00:09:47,918 --> 00:09:49,124 Thanks very much. 137 00:09:52,213 --> 00:09:54,420 She said Jordan's on his way. 138 00:09:54,674 --> 00:09:57,917 Oh. Incidentally. I spoke to some of the refineries in the area. 139 00:09:58,219 --> 00:10:00,142 - Oh. Did you? What did they say? - Excuse me. 140 00:10:00,387 --> 00:10:02,515 - You ready to order? - Yeah. Marilee? 141 00:10:02,764 --> 00:10:04,687 - Vodka. Please. - Bourbon and branch.

I'll have the same thing. - Okey-doke. 143 00:10:07,310 --> 00:10:08,835 They're 100 percent behind us. 144 00:10:09,061 --> 00:10:11,632 - None of them will do business with J.R. - Great. 145 00:10:11,897 --> 00:10:14,787 Honey. You wanna bring me a double recipe of the usual? 146 00:10:15,067 --> 00:10:16,512 Sure. 147 00:10:17,527 --> 00:10:21,213 Sorry I'm late. I was checking on some news that none of you's gonna like. 148 00:10:21,531 --> 00:10:22,737 What news? 149 00:10:22,949 --> 00:10:25,793 Remember that 25-percent cutback Bobby made before the split? 150 00:10:26,076 --> 00:10:27,999 - Yeah? - Well. He just reversed it. 151 00:10:28,579 --> 00:10:30,502 - What? - He's pulling all he can... 152 00:10:30,747 --> 00:10:32,909 out of his 17 fields. 153 00:10:33,166 --> 00:10:35,453 Don't tell me Bobby got a variance too. 154 00:10:35,877 --> 00:10:37,800 No. J.R.'s still got the only variance... 155 00:10:38,045 --> 00:10:40,651 but Bobby's pumping to the last legal drop. 156 00:10:40,923 --> 00:10:42,812 He wants to uncap that Wellington field. 157 00:10:43,425 --> 00:10:45,996 Yep. That's an awful lot of oil in today's market. 158 00:10:47,095 --> 00:10:50,099 - He'll never get a price on all that crude. - He'll get a price... 159 00:10:50,389 --> 00:10:53,836 but he'll have to take four or five dollars less than anybody else. 160 00:10:54,435 --> 00:10:56,278 You think Bobby's trying to cutthroat us? 161 00:10:56,520 --> 00:10:59,603 A Ewing is a Ewing is a Ewing. 162 00:11:00,190 --> 00:11:03,751 This is even more reason not to let him open up the Wellington field. 163 00:11:04,235 --> 00:11:05,919 You're absolutely right. That's right. 164 00:11:06,153 --> 00:11:08,633 What's the point of this meeting? We can vote, can't we? 165 00:11:08,906 --> 00:11:12,149 It's a majority votes, right? Is there anybody for opening up that field? 166 00:11:12,451 --> 00:11:14,852 - Hell. No. - All right. Then that's all there is to it. 167 00:11:15,120 --> 00:11:17,168 Jordan. Why don't you call the gentleman... 168 00:11:17,413 --> 00:11:19,984 and tell him he's just been voted down. 169 00:11:20,416 --> 00:11:22,783 Okay. Thank you, bye-bye. 170 00:11:31,134 --> 00:11:32,738 - Hello.

Are you having fun? Oh. Did you draw that? 176 00:11:55,655 --> 00:11:58,704 - I maked a fire engine. - Oh.

I'm sorry. I'm gonna be late. 180 00:12:05,414 --> 00:12:08,543 My last appointment's in the office right now. How are you doing? 181 00:12:08,834 --> 00:12:10,359 I thought we were gonna have lunch. 182 00:12:10,752 --> 00:12:13,562 We will. You go down. Grab a table. I'll be down shortly. 183 00:12:13,838 --> 00:12:15,442 Where is he? 184 00:12:16,674 --> 00:12:17,800 He's right here. 185 00:12:18,008 --> 00:12:19,612 - Get him downstairs. - Come on. 186 00:12:20,094 --> 00:12:23,064 Sly. Hold this. And don't write a letter on it until I talk to you. 187 00:12:23,346 --> 00:12:26,873 See that guy right there? He's no longer with this firm. 188 00:12:31,020 --> 00:12:35,821 Let me see. Oh. We were talking about opening up a string of gasoline stations? 189 00:12:36,191 --> 00:12:37,955 Yes. Sir. In Arizona. 190 00:12:38,193 --> 00:12:42,198 Now. I've got the stations and I wanna buy a franchise on the Ewing name... 191 00:12:42,530 --> 00:12:45,136 which is getting itself known up our way too. 192 00:12:45,533 --> 00:12:47,615 - Is that right? - Now. This is what I plan to do. 193 00:12:47,868 --> 00:12:51,077 I'd like to buy my gas from you and sell it at those cut-rate prices. 194 00:12:51,538 --> 00:12:54,747 I don't have your resources, so I won't be able to go as low as you do. 195 00:12:55,083 --> 00:12:59,611 But 10. 15 cents off a gallon, and I'll line those cars up around the block. 196 00:12:59,962 --> 00:13:02,613 And I'll cut you in for 50 percent of the profit. 197 00:13:02,881 --> 00:13:06,931 That's a generous offer, Mr. Criswell. You're a very enterprising young man. 198 00:13:07,260 --> 00:13:08,989 - Then you like the idea? - I do. 199 00:13:09,220 --> 00:13:11,302 That's wonderful. I'd say we've got a deal. 200 00:13:12,139 --> 00:13:13,550 Hell. I'm afraid not. 201 00:13:13,766 --> 00:13:16,087 See. Oil is one thing. Gasoline is something else. 202 00:13:16,894 --> 00:13:19,898 I have a lot of oil. But I'm having trouble refining it too. 203 00:13:22,232 --> 00:13:25,441 Well. That's a shame. Mr. Ewing. 204 00:13:26,152 --> 00:13:28,075 Now. I'm not slamming the door in your face. 205 00:13:28,320 --> 00:13:31,244 It's just that I'm having an awful time supplying my own stations. 206 00:13:31,532 --> 00:13:35,696 But if you could locate a refinery. Well. We could do some business. No fooling. 207 00:13:36,035 --> 00:13:38,003 Well. A refinery. That's a different story. 208 00:13:38,246 --> 00:13:41,090 - They're pretty scarce these days. - Tell me about it. 209 00:13:41,374 --> 00:13:44,218 - All right. I'll keep my ears open up. - You do that. 210 00:13:53,426 --> 00:13:57,033 - Mr. Graison. - Oh. Mr. Graison. Yes. Right this way. 211 00:14:08,397 --> 00:14:09,558 - Mark. - Miss Ellie. 212 00:14:09,774 --> 00:14:11,822 You look younger than the last time I saw you. 213 00:14:12,067 --> 00:14:14,513 Well. That was some time ago. And I certainly do not. 214 00:14:14,778 --> 00:14:15,939 - How are you? - I'm fine. 215 00:14:16,154 --> 00:14:17,644 - I'm Mark Graison. - How do you do? 216 00:14:17,864 --> 00:14:21,266 - This is my daughter-in-law Pamela. - Well. I'm very happy to meet you. 217 00:14:21,701 --> 00:14:23,624 - Won't you? - Thank you. 218 00:14:24,036 --> 00:14:26,801 Something from the bar? White wine for me. 219 00:14:27,080 --> 00:14:28,730 I'll have the same. 220 00:14:29,416 --> 00:14:32,022 I wanna tell you how sorry I was to hear about Jock. 221 00:14:32,293 --> 00:14:34,182 He was an exceptional man. 222 00:14:34,420 --> 00:14:36,024 Thank you. Mark. 223 00:14:36,255 --> 00:14:39,976 It's Jock that I wanted to talk to you about. 224 00:14:40,300 --> 00:14:42,871 Or rather, about his will. 225 00:14:44,137 --> 00:14:46,219 I can imagine what kind of a battle that set up. 226 00:14:46,514 --> 00:14:49,324 Yes. It has. And Miss Ellie thinks it should be stopped. 227 00:14:49,600 --> 00:14:53,810 It seems the only way to stop this battle is to break the will. 228 00:14:54,146 --> 00:14:58,913 And a friend of mine suggested that I see Brooks Oliver about representing me. 229 00:14:59,567 --> 00:15:02,810 - My family has Brooks on a retainer. - Yes. That's what he told me. 230 00:15:03,362 --> 00:15:07,651 He also said he'd be happy to handle Miss Ellie's case with your approval. 231 00:15:07,992 --> 00:15:09,596 I understand. 232 00:15:09,826 --> 00:15:11,590 Is his schedule completely filled? 233 00:15:12,871 --> 00:15:14,077 Well. We'd have to see. 234 00:15:14,539 --> 00:15:18,339 Phone call for Mrs. Pamela Ewing. Phone call for Mrs. Ewing. 235 00:15:19,126 --> 00:15:22,369 - Where's the telephone. Please? - Right up at the hostess stand. 236 00:15:24,089 --> 00:15:25,739 Excuse me. 237 00:15:36,350 --> 00:15:39,752 Mark. I have to be honest with you. 238 00:15:40,187 --> 00:15:43,509 I'm not certain I'll go through with this case. 239 00:15:44,315 --> 00:15:49,481 I'd like to apologize if this lunch turns out to be a waste of your time. 240 00:15:51,363 --> 00:15:53,127 A waste of my time? 241 00:15:53,365 --> 00:15:56,608 Miss Ellie. You don't have to apologize about anything. 242 00:15:56,910 --> 00:16:00,392 I can't conceive how seeing you two could possibly be a waste of my time. 243 00:16:12,215 --> 00:16:13,740 Yeah? 244 00:16:15,384 --> 00:16:17,864 - Hi. You're just in time. - For what? 245 00:16:18,137 --> 00:16:20,583 Oh. Boy. I'm covered up with packing cartons here. 246 00:16:20,847 --> 00:16:24,408 - I need some help. - Oh. Lucky me. 247 00:16:24,726 --> 00:16:27,013 The other day you wanted me to be your decorator. 248 00:16:27,270 --> 00:16:29,955 We certainly do get to share interesting parts of your life. 249 00:16:30,231 --> 00:16:32,313 You don't wanna help me pack? 250 00:16:32,566 --> 00:16:36,093 Why should I? These aren't my things. I don't have a new apartment. 251 00:16:36,403 --> 00:16:39,452 Well. Yeah. But I figured you'd be moving in sooner or later. 252 00:16:40,406 --> 00:16:42,647 - Did you really? - Oh. Yeah. Eventually. 253 00:16:42,909 --> 00:16:46,038 Tell me something. Cliff. Is that pre-marriage or post-marriage? 254 00:16:47,246 --> 00:16:48,407 What marriage? 255 00:16:48,622 --> 00:16:51,068 Exactly. I haven't heard you mention a thing about that. 256 00:16:51,333 --> 00:16:53,461 You wanna get married? Okay. We'll get married. 257 00:16:53,710 --> 00:16:54,871 Oh. No. We won't! 258 00:16:55,086 --> 00:16:57,327 - What? - Never! 259 00:16:57,588 --> 00:16:58,589 What are you saying? 260 00:16:58,798 --> 00:17:00,960 I would jump out that window before I'd marry you! 261 00:17:01,216 --> 00:17:02,377 Breakable things in here. 262 00:17:02,593 --> 00:17:05,324 Look. The man I marry is going to want to marry me! 263 00:17:05,595 --> 00:17:09,998 - I just said I wanted to marry you. - No. You didn't. And you don't. 264 00:17:10,349 --> 00:17:11,589 I don't understand you. 265 00:17:11,809 --> 00:17:15,052 All you want is a cheap maid and someone to split the rent! 266 00:17:15,354 --> 00:17:18,881 Well. Damn your boxes! Go pack them yourself! 267 00:17:27,031 --> 00:17:31,116 I keep going back and forth on it. Ray. I just can't make up my mind. 268 00:17:31,451 --> 00:17:35,172 Whatever you decide to do. Miss Ellie. Just know Ray and I will support you. 269 00:17:35,497 --> 00:17:37,420 Evening. Hope I'm not interrupting anything. 270 00:17:37,665 --> 00:17:40,271 - No. - Well. I don't know. 271 00:17:40,543 --> 00:17:43,990 Looks like I barged in on some kind of conspiracy. 272 00:17:44,296 --> 00:17:48,745 Seems like every time I turn around somebody's conniving against me. 273 00:17:49,092 --> 00:17:51,220 Nobody's conniving against you. J.R. 274 00:17:51,803 --> 00:17:54,454 Look at Donna there. Tampering with a public commission... 275 00:17:54,722 --> 00:17:56,724 trying to get them to overturn my variance. 276 00:17:57,224 --> 00:18:00,467 - Now. Just a minute. J.R. - Yeah. You are. Wheeling and dealing... 277 00:18:00,769 --> 00:18:04,251 after they voted, democratically. I might add to let me keep it. 278 00:18:04,564 --> 00:18:07,329 I don't appreciate how you put that. 279 00:18:07,608 --> 00:18:11,169 Are you implying that I have been underhanded? 280 00:18:11,487 --> 00:18:14,331 - I believe the word is inept. - Watch your mouth. 281 00:18:14,614 --> 00:18:17,982 - You gotta admit, she's not too bright. - All right. Let's go outside! 282 00:18:18,284 --> 00:18:21,049 - You're wrinkling my suit. - I'm gonna wrinkle your face! 283 00:18:21,329 --> 00:18:24,219 - Ray. Let's go home! - Best idea you've had all night. 284 00:18:25,457 --> 00:18:26,743 Oh. Ray! 285 00:18:26,959 --> 00:18:30,600 One of these days. I'm gonna really shut that mouth of yours. 286 00:18:34,090 --> 00:18:36,092 Let's go home, Donna. 287 00:18:36,342 --> 00:18:38,424 I'm sorry. Miss Ellie. 288 00:18:50,646 --> 00:18:52,057 Yes? 289 00:18:52,273 --> 00:18:54,082 - Right in here. Mr. Gurney. - Thank you. 290 00:18:54,316 --> 00:18:56,796 Thank you. I won't need you anymore tonight. You can go. 291 00:18:57,068 --> 00:18:59,435 - Thank you. Bobby. Good night. - Good night. 292 00:18:59,821 --> 00:19:02,222 All right. What'd you find? 293 00:19:02,740 --> 00:19:06,301 Well. I dug deeper in this contract than you dig for oil. 294 00:19:07,161 --> 00:19:09,562 Well. The important thing is did you find any? 295 00:19:10,288 --> 00:19:11,414 I believe we did. 296 00:19:11,623 --> 00:19:14,194 Great! Then I can force them to uncap those wells. 297 00:19:14,459 --> 00:19:19,784 No. There's no procedure for that. But what you can do is sell out your share. 298 00:19:22,299 --> 00:19:26,987 Craig. I don't wanna sell Wellington. 299 00:19:27,345 --> 00:19:30,667 Not even for five times the current market value? 300 00:19:30,973 --> 00:19:33,055 Well. Who's gonna give me that kind of money? 301 00:19:33,309 --> 00:19:35,198 The cartel. 302 00:19:36,019 --> 00:19:39,228 According to the way your brother set up the contract... 303 00:19:39,523 --> 00:19:42,413 if a majority of the partnership wants to cut off production... 304 00:19:42,692 --> 00:19:46,378 then the others have the right to sell their share at fivefold market value. 305 00:19:46,696 --> 00:19:52,260 And the majority partners are obliged to be the buyers of last resort. 306 00:19:54,286 --> 00:19:56,493 Fivefold market value. 307 00:19:56,746 --> 00:20:01,308 - That's a sizable amount of cash. - Don't I know it. So either way. I win. 308 00:20:01,750 --> 00:20:05,038 They either uncap those wells. Or I can force them to buy out my interest. 309 00:20:05,337 --> 00:20:06,862 That's the way the contract reads. 310 00:20:08,548 --> 00:20:09,754 Thank you. J.R. 311 00:20:09,966 --> 00:20:13,288 My God. Do you know how to write a contract. 312 00:20:25,813 --> 00:20:28,339 What do you find so amusing. Sue Ellen? 313 00:20:29,066 --> 00:20:33,196 Well. I was just wondering whatever happened to your ability of handling... 314 00:20:33,528 --> 00:20:36,134 I mean. Dealing with people. 315 00:20:37,449 --> 00:20:40,737 Well. I just forgot that cowboy has a terrible temper. 316 00:20:41,035 --> 00:20:43,322 Just lucky he didn't have his spurs on. 317 00:20:43,579 --> 00:20:45,581 Rub my back. Would you? 318 00:20:46,582 --> 00:20:48,027 Of course. 319 00:20:56,924 --> 00:20:59,848 I can't wait to see you on that TV show. 320 00:21:01,220 --> 00:21:03,541 You like that sort of thing. Don't you? 321 00:21:04,931 --> 00:21:08,299 I think it's nice to be the wife of a celebrity. 322 00:21:09,685 --> 00:21:11,733 To tell you the truth. I'm kind of nervous... 323 00:21:11,979 --> 00:21:15,700 about being up there. Speaking in public... 324 00:21:17,275 --> 00:21:18,925 You'll think of something to say. 325 00:21:19,152 --> 00:21:21,883 I've all the confidence in the world in you. 326 00:21:22,613 --> 00:21:26,459 I'd have a lot more confidence if I had somebody up there with me. 327 00:21:33,915 --> 00:21:36,236 You want me on the show with you? 328 00:21:36,834 --> 00:21:39,041 If it wouldn't be an imposition. 329 00:21:41,547 --> 00:21:44,869 - You mean it. Don't you? - We're partners. Aren't we? 330 00:21:48,178 --> 00:21:51,739 You really mean that commitment that you made at the lake, don't you? 331 00:21:54,016 --> 00:21:55,256 Of course I do. 332 00:21:59,354 --> 00:22:02,437 I can't tell you how happy that makes me feel. 333 00:22:31,007 --> 00:22:33,169 Oh. Honey. It was late. I thought you were asleep. 334 00:22:33,426 --> 00:22:35,906 Wait till I tell you. I had the best stroke of luck. 335 00:22:36,178 --> 00:22:39,864 I think I found a way to force the cartel into opening up the Wellington field. 336 00:22:40,182 --> 00:22:42,788 That's wonderful. Now you can lose a few more friends. 337 00:22:43,059 --> 00:22:45,869 Honey. J.R.'s way ahead. I have to catch up. 338 00:22:46,145 --> 00:22:47,715 By the time you catch up... 339 00:22:47,939 --> 00:22:50,863 you may lose your family and all the friends you ever had. 340 00:22:51,150 --> 00:22:53,960 Pamela. We have been through this all before. 341 00:22:54,236 --> 00:22:57,877 Now. You know the kind of race I'm in. I'm doing what I think is right. 342 00:22:58,198 --> 00:23:01,088 And I'm very much afraid of what it's doing to you. 343 00:23:03,994 --> 00:23:06,042 Hello? Bobby Ewing here. 344 00:23:07,706 --> 00:23:11,028 Mark Graison! I haven't thought about you in ages. 345 00:23:11,334 --> 00:23:13,098 How are you? 346 00:23:14,587 --> 00:23:18,069 Oh. I'm doing real good. Thank you. What can I do for you? 347 00:23:20,717 --> 00:23:23,448 Oh. Sure. Pam's right here. 348 00:23:23,720 --> 00:23:26,769 Hang on. He wants to talk to you. 349 00:23:29,725 --> 00:23:32,695 - Hello. - Pam. This is Mark Graison. 350 00:23:32,978 --> 00:23:34,662 Listen. I'm sorry to call you so late. 351 00:23:34,897 --> 00:23:37,423 I'm leaving Dallas tomorrow for a couple of days... 352 00:23:37,691 --> 00:23:41,252 and I know you need a decision on the Brooks Oliver situation. 353 00:23:42,487 --> 00:23:43,693 Yes. 354 00:23:44,405 --> 00:23:48,330 Well. There's one or two questions I'd like to ask before I give an answer. 355 00:23:49,159 --> 00:23:51,924 Could you meet me tomorrow morning. Say. Breakfast? 356 00:23:54,247 --> 00:23:55,658 Well. I suppose so. 357 00:23:56,249 --> 00:24:00,140 Fine. We'll meet at The Morning Stop on Greenville. Say. 9:00? 358 00:24:01,045 --> 00:24:04,936 All right. That'll be fine. Goodbye. 359 00:24:08,927 --> 00:24:10,895 Honey. What was that all about? 360 00:24:11,762 --> 00:24:14,493 His family has a lawyer on retainer Miss Ellie wants to use. 361 00:24:15,099 --> 00:24:17,261 What does that have to do with you? 362 00:24:17,684 --> 00:24:20,767 I'm helping Miss Ellie convince him to loan her the lawyer's services. 363 00:24:22,647 --> 00:24:24,536 I don't believe it. 364 00:24:24,774 --> 00:24:27,425 Pamela. You may want this fight to be over... 365 00:24:27,693 --> 00:24:29,582 but you're on the wrong side in the war. 366 00:24:30,571 --> 00:24:31,572 I don't think so. 367 00:24:33,907 --> 00:24:35,909 I'm going downstairs and have a drink. 368 00:24:46,793 --> 00:24:49,080 Don't tell me I can't go up there! Get out of my way! 369 00:24:49,337 --> 00:24:51,021 - You can't come in here. - Yes. I can. 370 00:24:51,256 --> 00:24:54,066 - The lady's busy. If you'd... - Don't give me any lip. Young man. 371 00:24:54,342 --> 00:24:56,231 - I wanna talk to you. - I couldn't stop him. 372 00:24:56,469 --> 00:24:58,471 - Get this creep off me. - I'll take care of it. 373 00:24:58,721 --> 00:25:01,008 - You sure? - Yeah. She's sure. Thank you very much. 374 00:25:01,264 --> 00:25:04,029 You have no right to keep barging into my bedroom like this! 375 00:25:04,309 --> 00:25:06,118 You'll have to find another place to work. 376 00:25:06,352 --> 00:25:08,832 - What is going on with your refinery? - What do you mean? 377 00:25:09,105 --> 00:25:12,473 You know damn well what I mean. I asked you to cancel those contracts... 378 00:25:12,775 --> 00:25:15,745 except for the ones I give you. And you have not done that. 379 00:25:16,027 --> 00:25:17,028 Okay. Wait a minute. 380 00:25:17,237 --> 00:25:21,287 Pick up that phone and call whoever to get rid of those contracts. 381 00:25:22,366 --> 00:25:25,415 - J.R.. I won't. - I'm sorry. I don't think I heard you right. 382 00:25:26,328 --> 00:25:29,855 I'd be cutting Harwood Oil off from all other business. 383 00:25:30,165 --> 00:25:32,293 I can't do that to my daddy's company. 384 00:25:32,876 --> 00:25:36,358 You can and you will. If you don't. You won't need any other contracts. 385 00:25:36,671 --> 00:25:38,161 Harwood Oil will cease to exist. 386 00:25:38,380 --> 00:25:41,589 Do you really believe you could just wipe out Harwood Oil? 387 00:25:42,384 --> 00:25:43,590 Holly. Sit down. 388 00:25:43,802 --> 00:25:46,487 I'll explain something to you that even you will understand. 389 00:25:46,763 --> 00:25:48,128 For the past two months... 390 00:25:48,348 --> 00:25:51,113 I have entangled your company in many interrelated deals... 391 00:25:51,392 --> 00:25:53,793 that you could send a battalion of accountants... 392 00:25:54,061 --> 00:25:56,667 and they'd come away with nothing more than a headache. 393 00:25:56,938 --> 00:25:57,939 What are you saying? 394 00:25:58,523 --> 00:26:01,891 I'm saying. Holly. That I have built your company into a house of cards. 395 00:26:02,193 --> 00:26:06,801 You don't do what I tell you. I'll huff. I'll puff. And blow Harwood away. 396 00:26:07,406 --> 00:26:11,127 - You can't be serious. - Some things even I don't joke about. 397 00:26:11,827 --> 00:26:15,149 What about my contracts with the military? How can I break those? 398 00:26:16,080 --> 00:26:18,048 I don't know. But I've got confidence in you. 399 00:26:18,291 --> 00:26:19,941 I know you'll come up with something. 400 00:26:20,292 --> 00:26:23,739 I'll be leaving now. So that you can make all those nice phone calls. 401 00:26:24,046 --> 00:26:27,129 And if I find out by tomorrow you have not done so... 402 00:26:27,424 --> 00:26:30,109 I'll turn Harwood Oil into a memory. 403 00:26:30,385 --> 00:26:32,672 And not a very pleasant one at that. 404 00:26:53,555 --> 00:26:55,125 - Good morning. - Good morning. 405 00:26:56,182 --> 00:26:57,672 Please. 406 00:26:59,977 --> 00:27:02,184 Just coffee for me, thank you. 407 00:27:02,813 --> 00:27:03,974 I'm fine. Thank you. 408 00:27:06,400 --> 00:27:08,004 You look very lovely this morning. 409 00:27:09,319 --> 00:27:10,809 Thank you. 410 00:27:11,279 --> 00:27:13,088 Last night. You said there was a question. 411 00:27:15,449 --> 00:27:18,692 I just thought before I released Brooks Oliver to work for Miss Ellie... 412 00:27:18,994 --> 00:27:21,725 I ought to know a bit more about what he's gonna get into. 413 00:27:21,997 --> 00:27:23,886 How the family feels. For example. 414 00:27:25,125 --> 00:27:27,969 Well. My husband and his brother are against it, that's for sure. 415 00:27:28,252 --> 00:27:29,617 What about you? 416 00:27:29,837 --> 00:27:31,999 I think Miss Ellie should do what she needs to do. 417 00:27:32,840 --> 00:27:35,446 Even if it's against what your husband wants? 418 00:27:36,510 --> 00:27:37,841 In this case. Yes. 419 00:27:39,721 --> 00:27:43,043 It sounds like you want Miss Ellie to break the will more than she does. 420 00:27:43,599 --> 00:27:46,284 We both want to end this rivalry for Ewing Oil. 421 00:27:51,231 --> 00:27:53,438 All right. I'll give you Brooks Oliver. 422 00:27:55,902 --> 00:27:57,745 Well. That was easy. 423 00:27:57,987 --> 00:27:59,955 I must be very persuasive. 424 00:28:03,325 --> 00:28:06,374 Either that. Or you made up your mind before this morning. 425 00:28:06,661 --> 00:28:08,151 Right. 426 00:28:08,371 --> 00:28:09,941 Then why are we having breakfast? 427 00:28:10,164 --> 00:28:14,567 Because you knocked me out when we met. And I wanted to see you alone. 428 00:28:16,044 --> 00:28:18,809 - Mr. Graison. I'm a married woman. - I know that. 429 00:28:19,089 --> 00:28:21,569 And I'm not very modern when it comes to playing around. 430 00:28:22,800 --> 00:28:24,689 That is a very attractive quality. 431 00:28:26,679 --> 00:28:30,365 Well. I'm glad you appreciate it. It's a quality I intend to keep. 432 00:28:30,682 --> 00:28:35,688 You know. Marriages are funny. Ships in a storm. 433 00:28:36,062 --> 00:28:39,145 Some waves they survive. Others break them apart. 434 00:28:39,690 --> 00:28:42,978 Well. I have a very strong marriage. And we've survived lots of storms. 435 00:28:43,610 --> 00:28:46,420 The battle over Ewing Oil may strain it more than you think. 436 00:28:46,696 --> 00:28:49,779 - If you ever need a lifeboat... - I don't think I ever will. 437 00:28:52,743 --> 00:28:54,108 Thank you. 438 00:28:55,121 --> 00:28:57,601 Have Miss Ellie give me a call about Brooks. 439 00:28:57,873 --> 00:29:00,160 Well. I'd appreciate it if you'd do that yourself. 440 00:29:00,584 --> 00:29:04,509 And also. That you not mention that we had breakfast together. 441 00:29:05,713 --> 00:29:07,477 Thank you again. 442 00:29:15,931 --> 00:29:17,740 Yes? Bobby, Miss Harwood is here. 443 00:29:18,391 --> 00:29:20,234 Show her in. Please. 444 00:29:27,691 --> 00:29:30,012 - Hello. Holly. - Thank you for seeing me, Bobby. 445 00:29:30,277 --> 00:29:32,245 Well. You sounded so upset on the telephone. 446 00:29:32,654 --> 00:29:35,624 Bobby. Jordan Lee is on line two. Do you want to call him back? 447 00:29:35,906 --> 00:29:39,035 No. I'll take it right now. Thank you. Excuse me. Holly. 448 00:29:44,247 --> 00:29:46,454 - Jordan. - Bobby, we tank a vale... 449 00:29:46,708 --> 00:29:49,109 none of us liked the idea of opening up Wellington. 450 00:29:49,377 --> 00:29:52,824 Well. Jordan. I don't like the idea. But I do think we should meet about it. 451 00:29:53,130 --> 00:29:56,134 - Tomorrow morning's all right with me. - Well. Fine. 9:30. here? 452 00:29:56,425 --> 00:29:58,792 Fine. See you then. 453 00:30:01,220 --> 00:30:03,348 J.R. came to see me this morning. 454 00:30:03,598 --> 00:30:06,841 - He threatened me. - He did what? 455 00:30:07,351 --> 00:30:09,399 He really frightened me. 456 00:30:11,855 --> 00:30:13,903 Sit down. Tell me about it. 457 00:30:14,149 --> 00:30:16,390 Bobby. I've just gotta break away from that man. 458 00:30:16,651 --> 00:30:18,415 Just calm down and explain what happened. 459 00:30:18,819 --> 00:30:21,220 The refinery I bought has contracts with oil producers. 460 00:30:21,488 --> 00:30:23,729 - You know that. - Sure. 461 00:30:24,157 --> 00:30:26,558 J.R.'s been trying to get me to break those contracts. 462 00:30:27,577 --> 00:30:31,502 Of course. He needs your full capacity for his own gas stations. 463 00:30:31,998 --> 00:30:34,080 I don't wanna break those contracts. Bobby. 464 00:30:34,583 --> 00:30:35,948 Holly. You don't have to. 465 00:30:36,168 --> 00:30:38,569 You still have 75 percent of your own company. 466 00:30:39,254 --> 00:30:42,576 He told me that if I didn't. He has ways of destroying Harwood Oil. 467 00:30:43,800 --> 00:30:48,124 He said he's tangled my company up into knots that only he can untie. 468 00:30:49,221 --> 00:30:52,031 Could he have done something like that in just a couple months? 469 00:30:53,100 --> 00:30:56,070 Holly. You gave him a free hand. 470 00:30:56,352 --> 00:30:59,834 It doesn't take long to stretch a company like yours to the snapping point. 471 00:31:00,856 --> 00:31:02,096 What do I do? 472 00:31:03,067 --> 00:31:05,593 Well. I said it was possible. I didn't say he did it. 473 00:31:06,028 --> 00:31:09,589 God. I want that man out of my life! 474 00:31:10,115 --> 00:31:12,959 I want that 25 percent I gave him back. 475 00:31:14,577 --> 00:31:17,945 Well. Now. You might have to sue him to get that. 476 00:31:18,580 --> 00:31:20,787 Then he'd attack my company for sure. 477 00:31:22,500 --> 00:31:24,628 Well. It is one way to find out if he's bluffing. 478 00:31:26,671 --> 00:31:28,321 That's not much of an answer. Bobby. 479 00:31:29,715 --> 00:31:31,319 Yeah. I know. 480 00:31:31,633 --> 00:31:34,000 It's the only answer I can give you, Holly. I'm sorry. 481 00:32:33,605 --> 00:32:36,336 Hey. Who gave you permission to swim in our pool? 482 00:32:36,607 --> 00:32:39,531 Didn't think I needed it. After all. I'm practically a Ewing. 483 00:32:39,819 --> 00:32:41,981 It's the �practically� that makes the difference. 484 00:32:42,237 --> 00:32:44,843 And I hope you washed the hay off before you jumped in. 485 00:32:45,115 --> 00:32:48,517 Yes. Ma'am. And the fleas and the ticks too. 486 00:32:48,827 --> 00:32:51,512 - Wanna dive in and find out? - Don't do that. 487 00:32:54,498 --> 00:32:55,909 Does Ray know you're down here? 488 00:32:56,291 --> 00:32:58,976 - I don't know what Ray knows. - I'll bet he doesn't. 489 00:32:59,252 --> 00:33:00,902 Why don't you go down and ask him? 490 00:33:01,796 --> 00:33:03,446 I'm not especially interested. 491 00:33:03,673 --> 00:33:06,722 Oh. Interested enough to come down and look for me. 492 00:33:07,009 --> 00:33:10,730 Don't flatter yourself. I didn't even know you were down here. 493 00:33:12,097 --> 00:33:13,747 You're a very cocky kid. 494 00:33:14,975 --> 00:33:17,979 Oh. I'm sorry. You bring out the best in me. 495 00:33:19,604 --> 00:33:21,766 I was afraid that was your best. 496 00:33:22,273 --> 00:33:25,516 - Hey. Is that what you really think? - No. Not really. 497 00:33:25,817 --> 00:33:29,742 I think that underneath all your cockiness. You're basically pretty nasty. 498 00:33:31,155 --> 00:33:34,876 And underneath all that frost. There's a deep-freeze unit. 499 00:33:45,543 --> 00:33:48,274 Hi. You still angry with me? 500 00:33:49,588 --> 00:33:52,432 - Well. I'm here. Aren't I? - I'm sorry about the other day. 501 00:33:52,716 --> 00:33:56,118 I mean. I really acted stupid. I just wasn't myself. 502 00:33:56,428 --> 00:33:58,669 Unfortunately. You were. 503 00:34:00,848 --> 00:34:06,776 And as far as marriage is concerned. Why. That's definitely in the cards. 504 00:34:07,646 --> 00:34:10,889 Cliff. Let's change the subject. Okay? 505 00:34:12,734 --> 00:34:15,499 You said you invited me over for dinner. 506 00:34:15,778 --> 00:34:17,303 I don't smell anything cooking. 507 00:34:17,530 --> 00:34:20,420 I can't find the cartons with the kitchen stuff in it. 50... 508 00:34:20,699 --> 00:34:23,623 But I thought I'd keep it simple. And just order something in. 509 00:34:23,910 --> 00:34:26,277 I heard there's a really great gourmet restaurant. 510 00:34:26,538 --> 00:34:28,142 Right here in the neighborhood. 511 00:34:28,373 --> 00:34:30,899 - Chinese? - Yeah. I like Chinese. 512 00:34:31,167 --> 00:34:33,773 And they should be here any minute now. 513 00:34:34,795 --> 00:34:37,480 Well. Don't let me disturb you. 514 00:34:37,756 --> 00:34:40,646 I'm sure you wanna keep on with your decorating. 515 00:34:40,925 --> 00:34:43,212 I'm gonna go watch some TV. 516 00:34:46,388 --> 00:34:47,878 Okay. 517 00:34:50,809 --> 00:34:52,811 Settle down. Please. 518 00:34:53,186 --> 00:34:54,836 Settle down. 519 00:34:55,063 --> 00:34:56,224 Stand by. 520 00:34:56,481 --> 00:34:57,846 Five seconds. 521 00:34:58,065 --> 00:35:01,911 Four. Three. Two... 522 00:35:02,820 --> 00:35:04,151 Good evening. 523 00:35:04,363 --> 00:35:06,809 We are privileged tonight to have a very special guest. 524 00:35:07,198 --> 00:35:11,248 A man whose name is synonymous with independent oil here in Texas. 525 00:35:11,577 --> 00:35:14,786 Some call him a saint. Some call him a sinner. 526 00:35:15,080 --> 00:35:18,323 Hopefully. We'll find out which one he is tonight. 527 00:35:18,625 --> 00:35:20,389 You all know who I'm talking about. 528 00:35:20,627 --> 00:35:23,949 The man who has set gas prices back four whole years. 529 00:35:24,255 --> 00:35:27,782 Along with his lovely and charming wife. Let's give a warm welcome... 530 00:35:28,092 --> 00:35:30,254 to Mr. J.R. Ewing. 531 00:35:33,930 --> 00:35:36,137 Hey-ROY-How you doing? 532 00:35:55,616 --> 00:35:58,665 - Thank you for joining us. - Thank you. My pleasure. 533 00:35:58,952 --> 00:36:04,197 Mr. Ewing. Why have you decided to sell gasoline cheaper than anybody else? 534 00:36:04,582 --> 00:36:09,429 Well. I feel the American public deserves a better hand than they've been dealt. 535 00:36:09,795 --> 00:36:14,881 The price of gasoline is skyrocketing. And I don't think there's a real reason for it. 536 00:36:15,258 --> 00:36:17,545 That's not what the industry wants us to believe. 537 00:36:17,802 --> 00:36:19,213 No. I guess they don't. 538 00:36:19,429 --> 00:36:22,558 It doesn't cost all that much to get a barrel of oil out of the ground. 539 00:36:22,848 --> 00:36:25,215 And that is where the price starts from. Isn't it? 540 00:36:25,476 --> 00:36:29,367 That's pretty radical talk from an oilman. Do you consider yourself a radical? 541 00:36:29,688 --> 00:36:33,329 A radical? Me? Sue Ellen.

I mean... I mean the oil community. 674 00:44:23,564 --> 00:44:26,249 And there's Sue Ellen beside him like the Duchess of Windsor. 675 00:44:26,525 --> 00:44:28,368 I tell you. If he continues like this... 676 00:44:28,610 --> 00:44:31,898 he'll work himself into a position where we won't be able to touch him. 677 00:44:32,196 --> 00:44:36,326 - I don't like it any more than you! - All right. Then let's move on him. Now. 678 00:44:36,659 --> 00:44:40,744 Cliff.

You know. Ellie may try to break Jack's will. 685 00:45:03,516 --> 00:45:06,645 - She'll never go to court. - That's not sure. 686 00:45:06,935 --> 00:45:11,099 And if she does and she succeeds. There won't be much for us to fight about. 687 00:45:11,439 --> 00:45:14,045 So. What are you suggesting? Do we ease up on the pressure? 688 00:45:14,776 --> 00:45:18,144 - I want the pressure off Ellie. - I'm not concerned about Ellie. 689 00:45:19,446 --> 00:45:21,050 I know. 690 00:45:21,573 --> 00:45:24,304 But I think we should hold off on them all for now. 691 00:45:24,576 --> 00:45:28,023 Nothing should dissuade Ellie from attacking that will. 692 00:45:28,329 --> 00:45:30,809 God. She's fighting both her sons. 693 00:45:31,082 --> 00:45:33,528 We don't know how strong she is. 694 00:45:33,792 --> 00:45:37,478 Cliff. It's not such a bad idea.
