Getting rid of that painting would be like turning my back...

...on the years we had together.

As long as it's here, just doesn't leave much room for Clayton.

- But I'm glad it happened. - You're glad?

Your life is now with Jenna.

You didn't change your whole life for Donna.

She became your wife. I've become Ellie Ewing's husband.

PAMELA: You're thinking that I'm crazy to go on looking for Mark.

Well, I'm not. I'm going to find him.

- That belongs here. - J.R., please don't make it any--

You're wrong.

JENNA [GIGGLING]: We have to be quiet. We don't wanna wake up Charlie.

BOBBY: All right. All right.

I hope you don't mind me not wanting to go back with the others...

...but I was so excited about the announcement and everything...

...I wanted to be alone with you.

Oh, that's fine with me, except we're not exactly alone.

- Oh, she's asleep. - Ah.

- Nightcap? - No, no, I'm fine.

Well, I can't believe it. It's official.

I'm finally going to be Mrs. Bobby Ewing.

Well, I don't understand why you're so excited about that.

Oh, I could think of a thousand reasons why, but one is because I love you.

- I love you. - Hmm.

I love you. I love you.

JENNA: Charlie.

I waited up for you.

It's really late, honey.

I know. but I wanted to hear about the ball.

How was it? Was it pretty?

- It was beautiful. - Was it?

- Were there a lot of people there? - Oh, hundreds of them.

Really? And how about"?

I'm gonna let your mama tell you all about it, because, uh, I'd better go.

Will you, Mama? I wanna know everything that happened.

Okay, why don't you go on up and get to bed and I'll be there in a minute, hmm?

Okay. Good night, Bobby.

Good night, sweetheart.

JENNA: I'm sorry.

Oh, so am I.

[JENNA LAUGHING]

Um, I'll see you in the morning.

Bye.

[SO FT MUSIC PLAYING]

I love this song. Come on, Dave. [GIGGLING]

I don't believe it. She wants to dance again.

- Why not? - You're gonna wear that boy out.

- Oh, he'll be fine. DAVE: Uh-huh.

[PAMELA LAUGHING]

You know, Mandy. I am not usually pleased...

...with what J.R. Ewing does, but tonight, I certainly am.

You're happy he made that announcement about Bobby's wedding?

I think that's exactly the jolt that Pam needed to show her...

...that Bobby's out of her life.

[SIGHS]

Now maybe we can convince her to give up this ridiculous search for Mark Graison.

That announcement was a jolt, all right. Cliff, she was just devastated.

Well, that might be, but look at her. She's having fun, she's dancing.

MANDY: She's just trying to cover up her real feelings.

She and I had a talk tonight before that announcement was made.

She cares for Bobby a whole lot more than she lets on.

Yeah, but the fact of the matter is Bobby's marrying somebody else.

Now, I'm sorry it that hurts her, but I think it's the best thing for her.

Well, I'll tell you one thing.

I sure am glad Jeremy Wendell got that award...

...instead of that idiot he let sit at his table.

I'm sure they weren't gonna give Cliff the award second year in a row.

I wouldn't.

SUE ELLEN: Bobby. - Hi, Bob.

I didn't expect you home early.

- Thought you'd spend time with Jenna. - I wanna talk to you.

- Get yourself a nightcap. - I don't want a nightcap.

What I wanna know is why you made that announcement.

Well, I thought it'd be nice for you.

- You're not upset, are you? - You're damn right I'm upset.

If I wanted to announce my wedding plans, I'd have done it myself.

- Bobby-- - But I didn't, on purpose.

J.R.: Why not? - Because Pam was there.

Bob, you're not married to Pam anymore.

That doesn't mean she doesn't have feelings, J.R.

She knew halt the people in that room. Why embarrass her in front of everybody?

Bobby, I'm sure that J.R. didn't mean to embarrass her.

I know my brother, Sue Ellen. Thank you very much.

It was a lousy and insensitive thing to do.

- Now, hold on. - I know you never liked her, J.R.

But what do you have to gain by being vindictive now?

You got it all wrong. I wasn't thinking about Pam...

...but you and Jenna and how happy I was you're getting married.

- I bet you were. - It's true, Bob.

I just wanted it to be a special evening for you both.

Don't come down on me for that.

- Bobby, I think you're being unfair. - Unfair to J.R.? That's a joke.

In any case, I think the announcement was the best thing that could've happened.

I mean, after all, you are marrying Jenna.

Pam just has to realize that her life as a Ewing is over.

[SOBBING]

The ball was incredible. I still haven't gotten over it.

- You seemed to have had a good time. - I had a wonderful time.

JAMIE: And, Clayton, you're some dancer. MISS ELLIE: He certainly is.

He was also the handsomest man there last night.

[CHUCKLES]

Clayton, you seem awfully quiet. Are you all right?

I'm fine.

[CAR APPROACHING]

Hey, there's Ray. I'd better get going.

- Where's my briefcase? - I'll get it.

Where you going?

I'm gonna go downtown and, uh, look at some offices.

- Then Ray and I are gonna fly to Houston. - Houston?

I got some business down there.

And Ray wants to check up on new supply outfits for the ranch.

RAY: That's right.

I've been planning on going down to Houston.

MISS ELLIE: Good morning. - Miss Ellie.

You just want a ride on that plane.

RAY: Come on, Clayton, you ready to go?

I sure am. I'll see you tonight.

- I'll be home before dinner. - Okay.

- So long, everybody. JAMIE: Goodbye.

SUE ELLEN: Bye.

Sit down and have some coffee.

Well, I guess I better be going too. Goodbye.

Uh, I think I've had enough coffee this morning.

Excuse me.

Uh, I noticed that Clayton wasn't quite as cheerful this morning...

...as he was last night.

I guess the new furniture didn't take care of the problem.

[CHUCKLES]

What problem? He won't even admit there is one.

Well, I kind of had a feeling that things weren't going to be that easily settled.

Yes, well, they're not going to be settled at all it he won't talk about them.

[DONNA SIGHS]

Miss Ellie, you're just gonna have to get Clayton to open up.

Donna, I've tried.

But he's...

He's put up a wall and I don't know how to fight it.

Well, there's only one way to fight it. Tear it down.

[LAUGHS]

That's easier said than done.

I know, I know. but you just have to keep chipping away.

[SIGHS]

But he tells me everything is wonderful and there's nothing to worry about.

But he doesn't believe that and we both know it.

You know, Miss Ellie, uh, you said this to me yourself.

Clayton feels very uncomfortable here.

Now, I know when a person doesn't feel comfortable...

...that's all they think about.

So somehow or the other, you've got to find a way to make him feel relaxed.

Yes, well, I... I thought changing the furniture would help.

It did, I know it did, but that's the first step.

You've got to go farther.

Well, uh, I don't know how far I can go.

I know that it you keep at him, that wall of his is gonna come down.

Oh...

Well, I wish I were as sure of that as you are.

[SIGHS]

Come take me swimming more, Dad.

Oh, honey. I can't take you swimming today.

I'm gonna talk to Mommy and then I gotta go right to work.

- You haven't finished breakfast, have you? - No.

Well, you gotta do that before anything else, all right?

- All right. - Okay.

Come on, Christopher. Let's finish up.

- Thank you. - You're welcome.

- Bye-bye. BOTH: Bye.

- Good morning. - Good morning. Want some coffee?

No, no, I had some before I left the house.

I'm surprised to see you here this morning.

Actually, I, uh...

- I came by to apologize. - For what?

Well, for J.R. making the announcement last night at the Oil Baron's Ball.

It was a lousy way for you to find out that Jenna and I had set a wedding date.

[SCOFFS]

Well, Bobby, I was going to find out sooner or later.

I know. but I wanted to tell you myself privately.

Not have you find out in a ballroom full of people.

Well, I was upset at first.

It was such a typically J.R. thing to do.

But after thinking about it, I'm glad it happened.

You're glad?

It showed me very clearly that your life is now with Jenna...

...and that I have to get on with my own life.

Do you have any plans?

Well, to go on doing what I've been doing.

What does that mean?

Pam, you're not gonna go on with this search for Mark?

Well, of course I am.

Don't you see how pointless that is?

That doesn't concern you, now, does it?

I just wish there were some way I could talk you out of it.

Well, there isn't.

Well, I, uh... I've gotta get back to the office.

Uh, Pam, no matter what you said about that announcement...

...I'm sorry that it happened that way.

Goodbye, Bobby.

Bye.

RAY: If this trip to Houston is gonna be this much fun...

...I think I may as well stay here in Dallas.

CLAYTON: What?

Clayton, last night, you were having fun, talking, dancing...

...and ever since we left Southfork, you haven't said two words.

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

- Everything's fine. - Mm-hm.

Well, it is.

But?

Well, I don't know, Ray.

Remember a while back before Ellie and I got married?

You and I were talking about Southfork...

...and you said it was nothing but a lot of brick and mortar and wood.

Well, I'm beginning to find out there's more to it than that.

It's a lifetime of memories. I feel like a stranger out there.

I'd tell Miss Ellie about it.

What am I gonna tell her? That the problem is Jock?

That everything I come up against reminds me of him every time I turn around?

Not to mention the painting in the living room.

There's gotta be some way to make Miss Ellie understand how you feel.

We", even if I did tell her about it, what could she do?

I just can't ask her to throw away 40 years of memories to make me comfortable.

[SIGHS] I don't know what to say, Clayton. but I sure can sympathize with you.

Can you?

Well, sometimes I think I'm making a big thing out of nothing.

Hell, no. What you're going through is rough.

I know. I've been there.

- You have? - Yeah, when I married Donna.

Her first husband was a very powerful man.

- Walking in his shoes wasn't easy. - I guess it wasn't, but there's a difference.

You didn't change your whole life for Donna.

She became your wife. I've become Ellie Ewing's husband.

Well, I'd really appreciate it it you could start drilling around April 15th.

Well, for tax reasons-- [INTERCOM BUZZES]

Hang on a minute, would you?

Uh, yeah?

KENDALL [ON INTERCOM]: Frank Carp is here to see you.

Good, good. Send him in.

I'll have to get back to you on this. Ha. All right, bud.

- Well, how you doing? - Mr. Ewing.

- Sit down, sit down. - Thank you.

- Like a drink? - Uh, no, thanks. Not this time of day.

All right. Well, then. let's get down to business.

- I want you to do some detective work. - Yes, sir.

I, uh, want you to find out some information on a young lady I met.

She's very tall, about 5'8“ 019", long dark hair and really a beautiful woman.

- Do you have a name? - No, no, I don't.

I saw her modeling some clothes in a restaurant.

You know The Swan Room over on Preston?

Yes, I know the place.

I don't know if she's a regular. You can check that out for me.

And I also saw her at the Oil Baron's Ball with a man named Cliff Barnes.

- Oh, yes, I've read about him. - Yes, I'm sure you have.

It may have been just a casual date, or maybe there's something else to it.

I want you to find out that information for sure.

Yes, sir. Well, you've given me two good places to start.

Here's where you can find Barnes.

Thank you.

Uh, about this woman, what kind of information would you like on her?

Well, I want her name, address, telephone number, that sort of thing.

- And I'll take it from there. - All right. I'll do what I can.

If I get anything concrete, I'll get right back to you.

- Appreciate it. - Thank you.

CLAYTON: What'd you think about these offices we looked at?

They look a little dreary to you?

RAY: I think all offices look dreary. That's why I never work in them.

[BOTH LAUGHING]

CLAYTON: Well, I think I'm gonna pass on them.

RAY: I've been thinking about that conversation we started earlier.

I know you're having your problems, but at least you got a wife to come home to.

Well, don't you?

That oil field of Donna's seems to be eating up an awful lot of her time.

Don't tell me you two are having troubles.

I wouldn't call it trouble, exactly. Just things are different, that's all.

It used to be I'd come home from the range and she'd have fixed lunch...

...and we'd sit for a while and eat together, talk about things.

She'd never be late for dinner, I'll tell you that.

- She is now, huh? - It's happening more and more.

Well, Donna's always been a pretty active woman.

I know she has, and I know it's hard for her to just sit around the house.

I'm not complaining, uh. It's not all that had, really.

I don't want us to be one of those working couples that just see each other in passing.

Have you talked to her about it?

Well, that'd probably be about as hard for me to talk about that...

...as it would be for you to talk about your problem with Miss Ellie.

Well, I'm sorry, Ray. I didn't know about your troubles.

Well, there's no reason you should.

Besides, what you're going through is a lot rougher.

I'll tell you, I, uh... I wouldn't wanna change Donna.

I just want her to be at peace with herself.

If work's the thing that's gonna do that, then she ought to work.

But you resent her not being therefor you, hmm?

Yeah, that's the thing. I wish I didn't, but I do.

Well, come on, let's get going.

[LAUGHING]

That's it. You win again.

But you made me work for that one.

SUE ELLEN: Oh, boy. JAMIE: Oh...

I can't believe how good you're getting.

I'd better be careful or you're gonna start beating me.

Ha. You don't have to worry about that for quite a while.

You know, Jamie. I was just thinking, um...

...there's a nice tennis shop over on Turtle Creek...

...that has beautiful tennis outfits.

Maybe we can go there on the way home.

Do we have to?

No, we don't have to, uh...

Maybe you'd like to go to the galleria instead.

Lookit, Sue Ellen, I'm getting tired of wandering about...

...through shops and malls and hair salons every day.

Oh. I'm really sorry.

It's just that, well, I enjoy spending time with you, getting to know you.

I guess I thought you just felt the same way.

Sue Ellen, I like getting to know you too.

That's why I came to Texas, to find my family.

And you've been great.

Well, then, what's the problem?

Lookit, all this is wonderful, the tennis, the swimming.

You take me places that I've never even dreamed of.

You buy me beautiful clothes.

[JAMIE SIGHS]

And it doesn't appeal to you?

Of course it appeals to me.

It would appeal to anybody, but I want more to my life than that.

J.R. was right when he said that I'm not the kind to stand around and do nothing.

Jamie, is he the problem?

- Has he done anything? - No.

Because if he has-- - It's not J.R.

It's me. I'm the one that's gotta do something.

Like what?

I don't know. Maybe get some kind of a job.

Jamie...

Look, you know how I feel about that.

You just lost your father and you've moved to a new place.

But you need this time to get yourself together.

Sue Ellen, I'm as together as I'm ever gonna be.

But you're bored.

I don't wanna hurt your feelings, but, yeah, I am.

MISS ELLIE: No, that's all right, Clayton. I don't mind.

- Will Ray be staying in Houston with you? CLAYTON: Yes.

Well, then, uh, I'll see you whenever you finish your business.

Did you have any idea how long that will take?

Oh, a couple of days, probably. I'm not sure.

Oh...

All right. Good night, Clayton.

- I love you. 4 fave you too, Effie.

Well, they're gonna stay down there a few more days.

Hmm.

Ray said that they might.

Well, you don't suppose Clayton is staying away deliberately, do you?

Well, I think that's something you're gonna have to ask him yourself, Miss Ellie.

I'm going to have a brandy. Would you like one?

Please.

He was a very impressive man, wasn't he?

What?

Jock.

Thank you.

He was strong, tough-minded, very successful.

In a lot of ways, he and Clayton are very much alike.

Yes, I guess that's true.

That painting, Miss Ellie, it, um...

It dominates the room.

It's like no matter where you go, Jock is there with you.

But you know that, don't you?

Yes, I do.

And I'm sure that Clayton feels it.

But what am I supposed to do about it?

There's only one thing you can do.

You mean, take the painting down?

Yes, ma'am.

But Jock is the father of my sons.

I spent 40 years of my life with him.

[DONNA SIGHS]

Miss Ellie, you are married to another man now.

But I loved him, Donna.

Well, of course you did. That is never gonna change.

It's very hard.

Getting rid of that painting would be like...

...turning my back on all the years we had together.

You are not turning your back on all those years.

No one would expect you to do that.

But you are gonna have to deal with the painting.

Miss Ellie, as long as it's here presiding over this house...

...doesn't leave much room for Clayton.

Did you tell her we were stopping by?

No, I'm sure she'll be here.

We'll take her out to dinner or something nice.

- Hello, Mr. Barnes. - Hi. My sister in?

Yeah, she's out in the garden.

If you don't want my business, why don't you say so...

...instead of stalling like you have been?

JACKSON: Forgive me for saying this...

...but I think you're being a little unreasonable.

My divers are out there. They're looking for the plane.

Well, it seems to be taking an awfully long time.

I warned you it wouldn't be easy to find.

Mr. Jackson, I don't need your excuses, I want results.

And if you can't give them to me, I'll find a salvage crew who can.

Pam, what's wrong?

Oh. It was the salvage man who's been trying to locate Mark's plane.

I don't believe it could take this long.

It's a big ocean out there.

I think he's putting me off.

Putting you off?

Why would he put you off?

Maybe because he believes, like the rest of you, that it's a futile search.

Pam, it is a futile search.

Or maybe because Bobby talked him into it.

CLIFF: That's crazy. - It's not crazy. He called Bobby.

- I know-- PAMELA: Can you believe it?

As though I need permission to make this search.

But why would Bobby try to talk him into putting you off?

PAMELA: I have no idea.

All I know is that you're all against what I'm trying to do.

We're only against it because we're afraid you may get hurt.

What have you got to do with this? Stay out of it.

I'm worried about you. I've never seen you like this.

You've never seen me at all. All you ever see is the merger.

That's all you ever talk about, is getting Cliff together with Jeremy Wendell.

Hey, whoa, wait a minute.

Sure, I'd like the merge! to happen, but more important than that, I care for you.

No, you don't. If you did, you'd support me.

Hey, sis, calm down a little.

I know what you're thinking. I know what everyone's thinking.

You're thinking that I'm crazy to go on looking for Mark.

Well, I'm not.

He may be alive out there somewhere, and if he is, he's sick and alone...

...and he needs me more than ever.

I don't care what anybody thinks. I'm gonna go on looking.

And if he is alive, I'm going to find him.

- Thanks. - Well, there you are.

- I'm sorry. - Oh, no, listen, I understand.

A sudden rainstorm, you had to wait by the side of the road, huh?

[JENNA LAUGHING]

Sue Ellen called as I was leaving the shop and I couldn't get her off the phone.

Can I get you something from the bar?

Uh, yes, I'll have some iced tea with a little lemon, please.

Yes, ma'am.

[JENNA SIGHS]

Well, Sue Ellen's gonna help me pick out some bridesmaids' dresses.

Is that something you need help with?

Well, two opinions are better than one. She's got great taste.

You've been hitting it off the last couple months, haven't you?

Yeah. I like her.

In fact, uh, I was thinking about asking her to be my matron of honor.

- Well, that'll make her happy. - I think so.

The problem is Donna. I'm afraid she might be hurt.

Well, I have the solution to that. Don't ask either one of them.

Well, the trouble is, I'm not really close to anybody else.

Honey, what about your daughter? She's not exactly a stranger.

I thought about asking her, but I was afraid it would be corny.

[LAUGHING] What's corny about it?

I don't know, it just struck me as corny, but...

But now that you mention it, I think it's a wonderful idea.

Yes, it is a wonderful idea. She'd make a beautiful maid of honor.

- And I'll tell you something else. - What?

She's gonna make a beautiful daughter for me.

[LAUGHS]

Thank you.

[PLAYING COUNTRY MUSIC]

[MUSIC STOPS] [LUCY LAUGHS]

All right. That was terrific.

Gosh, I don't even know when the last time I was in this place.

It don't change much. Let's go wrangle up some beers.

LUCY: Okay. [BAND PLAYING COUNTRY MUSIC]

So besides seeing you work at the Hot Biscuit...

...I don't know anything about you.

Well, that makes us even.

What are you talking about? I told you all about myself.

Just that you worked in construction.

BARTENDER: Next?

- Uh, two beers. Two beers. BARTENDER: You got them.

- Thanks. Well, what else? EDDIE: What else what?

LUCY: Well, tell me about yourself. EDDIE: Well, there's not a whole lot to tell.

I got out of high school, started working for my uncle...

...and I'm still there, five days a week, pounding nails.

Heh. Doesn't sound like you enjoy it very much.

I don't.

But the money's pretty good and I manage to stash some away every week.

I'll give that job about one more year, that's it.

Then what are you gonna do?

I don't know, but it's gonna be something besides that.

[LAUGHS]

I think it's great that you wanna better yourself.

You would.

You see, that's the difference between you and somebody like Betty.

You got class. Betty's strictly hammers and nails.

So tell me, um, you live near that bus stop where I picked you up?

Yeah, not too far away.

- Where? - Around there.

Okay, ha, ha, ha, you don't wanna tell me, don't tell me.

You got a husband or something?

Heh, no, of course not. Would I be here with you if I did?

Um...

- Some girls would. - Well, I'm not one of them.

Oh, hey, hey, come on. where are you going?

I'm tired of talking. Let's go dance.

Oh, you're a nervous little thing, aren't you?

No, it's just we came hereto dance, so let's go dance.

- This is what you mean by working late? EDDIE: Uh-oh.

- What are you doing here? - What am I doing here?

What are you doing here with that pygmy?

- Stop it, Betty. - I warned you to stay away from my man.

He's not your man.

All you did was go out on a couple dates with him.

Is that what you told her?

Betty, it--

You miserable louse!

[PEOPLE YELLING]

BETTY: Get back here! Don't touch me!

EDDIE: Betty! Cool out, now.

Cool out, huh? Look, you got no call to do this.

Why don't you just get on home, huh?

Go on, get the hell out of here.

You are gonna pay for this, Eddie Cronin.

[SIGHS]

[SIGHS]

Next time, why don't you pick on somebody your own size?

Very funny.

[LAUGHING]

[JENNA SIGHS]

- Did you take your notebook? - Uh-huh.

Okay.

I packed an apple with your sandwich today, and I want you to eat it.

- Okay, Mama, I will. - All right? All right.

Here we go. Give me a kiss.

- Bye-bye. - Bye.

- Hello, Charlotte. - Hi.

[WOMEN SPEAKING INDISTINCTLY]

She's very beautiful, our daughter. Just like her mother.

- What are you doing here? - I must talk to you.

We have nothing to talk about. I'm in a hurry to get to work.

Jenna, what I have to say is very important.

If you have no time now, meet me later. I'm staying at the Quorum Hotel.

Do you really think I'll meet you at your hotel?

All right, then. meet me at Energy Square, say 5:00?

What is it, Naldo? What do you want?

It's in your best interest to be there, believe me.

Meet me at 5:00.

How's your search for the new receptionist coming?

- Have you found a new girl yet? - No, haven't found anybody yet.

We haven't been looking too hard.

We'll have to do something about it this week.

- Well, good morning. - Morning, J.R.

BOBBY: Well, I better go.

If I'm interrupting, I could eat in the kitchen.

No, you're not interrupting anything, I just wanna get into the office early.

- Goodbye, Sue Ellen. - Bye.

See you later.

Uh, I don't want any breakfast. I'm just gonna stick to toast.

All right, Mr. Ewing.

Bobby was telling me that you hadn't found a new receptionist yet.

Well, we really haven't had time.

I have to make sure that Kendall can manage Sly's workload.

- Can she? - Well, time will tell.

She seems to be doing okay.

Then that means you're gonna need someone for the front desk.

Mm, yeah, I suppose we will.

Well, uh, have you, uh. ever considered someone in the family?

Now, don't tell me you're looking for a job.

No, no, I was just thinking about Jamie.

Jamie? Honey, I see enough of that girl around this house.

I don't need her complicating my business life too.

Well, you're the one that brought up the idea other working.

Not in my office.

And since when did you start to scout for Ewing Oil?

I haven't. I was merely thinking about Jamie.

Honey, she's an outdoor girl.

She doesn't know the first thing about being a receptionist.

J.R., she's a very bright young girl. She can certainly answer a telephone.

Well, I don't like the idea. That's all there is to it.

I have done everything I possibly can to make her feel at home.

I'm afraid if she doesn't have something to occupy her time, she's gonna leave.

Oh, boy, that'd be a damn shame, wouldn't it? Ha-ha.

Look, I'm very fond of her, and I want her to stay.

You and I have been getting along pretty well lately.

And it you want it to stay that way, you'll do this for me.

All right. All right, I'll think it over.

Thank you.

[SCOFFS]

Jamie. Ha.

[INTERCOM BEEPS]

PHYLLIS [ON INTERCOM]: Bobby, Jenna's on line two for you.

Thank you.

Hello. Are we still on for this afternoon?

Uh, no, that's why I'm calling.

Something's come up, uh. and I'm not gonna be able to meet you.

Nothing serious, I hope.

No, just, uh... There's something I have to do, that's all.

All right. Listen, I'll talk to you tonight?

I'll call you.

- Babb y? - Yeah ?

I love you.

I love you too. Bye.

[INTERCOM BUZZES]

- Yeah? KENDALL: J.H., Mr. Carp is here.

Send him in.

- Hey, Carp. - Mr. Ewing.

Well, you work fast.

When people hire me for information, they generally want it yesterday.

Ha, I know. What you got?

Well, the name of the woman that you're looking for is Mandy Winger.

- Mandy Winger, huh? - That's right.

That's her address and phone number, but she's not there very much.

Her relationship with Cliff Barnes appears to be, well, more than just casual.

She spends probably half her time at his condo.

- Is that a fact? - Yes, sir.

As far as a job goes, she does work as a model 0” and on.

She gets her bookings out of the Lincoln Agency over on Beltline.

- Yeah, I see it. - And that's about all I have so far.

Well, that's a good job, given the short length of time.

I've just started. Maybe I could go a little deeper.

No, no, that's fine. Uh, that's all I need. You did a fine job.

- I'm glad you think so. - I'll probably be in touch with you again.

Well, thank you. I hope so. Goodbye.

Uh, J.R., Mama's on the phone.

She asked me something, now she wants to ask you personally.

- Line two. - Uh-oh.

- You can take it here if you like. - All right.

[J.R. CLEARS THROAT]

- Hello, Mama? - Are you planning to be home for dinner?

- Well, I can arrange to be. - Good.

There's something I wanna talk to you and Bobby about.

- Oh? What? - We'll discuss it later.

Okay. I'll see you at dinner.

- Thank you, J.R. Goodbye. - Bye.

- What do you suppose that's all about? - Your guess is as good as mine.

Jenna.

I'm glad you came.

Whatever you have to say, Naldo. say it and let me get out of here.

Well, you are not going to stand there, are you?

Please, sit down. Please.

You have a lot of gall, after that disgusting stunt you pulled last year.

Yes, showing Bobby Ewing Charlotte's birth certificate.

Yes. What was the purpose of that?

It nearly broke Bobby and me up for good.

- Well, that was the purpose. - But why?

What would you have gained?

Jenna, you must understand. It was not my idea.

- Well, whose was it? - Katherine Wentwonh's.

Katherine?

She was in love with Bobby. Surely you must know that by now.

She wanted Bobby to leave you so she could have her chance.

She found the birth certificate...

...tracked me down and paid me to do what I did.

And you, of course, did it for money, just as you've done all your life.

I cannot tell you how sorry I am, but what I did was disgusting.

- It was awful, I know. - Yes, that was awful.

What surprises me is that you realize it.

I have realized many things since then.

I know what you must think of me, but I cannot blame you.

[SIGHS]

I've spent my life...

...my entire life, doing things for which I felt ashamed afterwards.

But this time, I've learned my lesson.

[SIGHS]

I have been sick to my heart about this ever since.

What happened has made me see what kind 01a man I was.

I could not live with that person anymore.

I have changed, Jenna. Really, I have.

All right, I'm happy to hear that, Naldo.

But what I don't understand is why you're telling me.

No matter how unpleasant that birth-certificate business was...

...I'm not completely sorry it happened, because it brought us together again.

And it made me realize how much I had missed...

...the daughter I've never even seen.

- What? - Yes.

Charlotte. That beautiful child that we made together.

- Wait a minute. - Please, please, let me finish.

At first, I did not know what to do. I was confused.

Then I heard about your engagement to Bobby...

...and I realized that if I did not come forward...

...you would marry Bobby and I would lose Charlotte forever.

- I don't believe I'm hearing this. - Jenna. Jenna.

No.

I want my daughter to be with me again.

- You stay away from her. - I have a right to see her.

You have no rights toward Charlie.

I intend to see her. I think she should know her real father.

I mean it.

I will do anything I have to do to make that happen.

- Bobby, are you coming in? - Yeah, I'll be right with you, Mama.

I'm sorry, honey, but...

You sure you're all right? You sound like something's wrong.

JENNA: I'm all right.

Well, look, I can come over right now, if you want.

No, I'd like to be alone tonight.

But would you be able to come over in the morning?

Sure, first thing, before I go to work.

There's something I have to talk to you about.

I know there's something wrong. I can hear it in your voice.

- Does it have to do with the wedding? - No. I'll talk to you about it in the morning.

- Good night, Bobby. - Good night, honey-

Sony, Mama.

Bobby, J.R, ever since Clayton and I returned from Greece...

...I've been doing a lot of thinking.

It's not easy for him to move into this family.

In spite of our faults, we're very close together...

...and we don't open doors easily to outsiders.

Well, it's no secret that at one time I was against Clayton...

...but I don't think I've done anything to make him feel unwelcome...

...since you two got married.

No, you haven't, J.R.. and I appreciate that.

It was a little difficult for me at first to see you with a new man...

...but I made my peace with that.

You've both been very good about it.

But there's something that we haven't been able to do...

...and that is to put the past behind us.

I'm speaking of Jock.

Well, wait a minute, it's one thing for Clayton to many my mama...

...but he's never gonna take the place of my daddy.

Same goes for me.

Bobby, J.R...

Nobody could ever take the place of your daddy, and not for me either.

I loved him with all my heart.

But he's gone.

And the rest of us have to be free to go on with our lives.

Mama, I think I know what you're talking about...

...but that painting's not hurting anyone.

It's the only thing we got left of Daddy around here.

That's not true and you know it.

You can't do it, Mama. It belongs here.

It did once, but no more.

It belongs at Ewing Oil, the company he built.

- She's fighi, JR. - No. she's not fight.

- Please, don't make it any more difficult-- - You're wrong.

J.R., I know how much you loved your daddy...

...but keeping that painting up there is not going to bring him back.

Only our memories could do that, and we have a lifetime of those.

I mean, your daddy is in every shadow in this house...

...in every place he ever walked.

Nobody can take away the love we had for him.

But his life with us is over...

...and we've mourned him long enough.

Taking this painting down is the right thing to do.

I'm sure that even Jock would agree.

It's time for this family to start again.
