Transcripts - Forever Dreaming

Last on Dallas:

I remind you that Mrs. Foley and
your gunmen were countrymen of yours.

All that means is
you'll never find them.

But I Will.

These boys have the largest
detective agency in the southwest.

- I just bought it.
- What?

We'll be meeting tomorrow, but I want you
to compile Sheila Foley's dossier tonight.

The next time I come to bury the
hatchet, I'm gonna bury it in your skull.

- Why can't you talk to me?
- Stop pressing me.

- What's going on?
- Just stay away from me.

Maybe I can help.

S-E-X.

I heard you, Rose, and
so has everyone else.

- I recruited McKay's wife.
- To hell with the oil business.

You'd better take a real
good look around, J.R.

I'm changing all the rules and nothing's
gonna be the same from now on.

Mr. Ewing? Mr. Ewing,
your table's ready now.

I'll be there in a
minute, Dora Mae.

How dare you bury
April in France?

You had no right to hold
her funeral without me.

I did what I thought was best.

Best? Without me?
Without my mother?

Without anyone that loved her?

I loved her.

Not like we did.
She was my sister.

I should have
been at her funeral.

You should have been at her
wedding as her maid of honor.

I gave you the first one.
You don't get another.

Now leave me alone.

You always get your own way,
don't you? Well, not anymore.

Liz?

Liz, open the door.

Okay, what's this
all about, huh?

- Just who in the hell are you?
- I don't know what you're talking about.

Some goon just stuck
a g*n in my ear and said

if I didn't stop seeing
you, he'd k*ll me.

- Why didn't you listen to him?
- I wanna know who he was.

- I don't know what you're talking about.
- The hell you don't.

How many ways do I have to
say this, Cliff? Drop it. It's over.

Now leave me alone
before you get hurt.

Just what do you think could happen
to me that would hurt worse than this?

I told you I'd break it off
with Cliff in my own way.

Why isn't that good
enough for you?

If you want Dancer, you
leave Cliff Barnes alone.

Dad.

John Ross. Oh, boy, is it good
to see you. I missed you, son.

- I missed you too, Dad.
- Ha, ha. Hey, Christopher.

Oh, good to see both
of you. How you doing?

- How'd you get here? JOHN
ROSS: Clayton picked us up in London.

Clayton? CHRISTOPHER:
Is my dad here?

No. No, not yet.
He will be soon.

Listen, boys. A terrible thing
has happened in the family.

But we're Ewings, we'll
get through this together.

- Sure, Dad.
- Hello, J.R.

Just put things right
there. Thank you.

- Hey, Clayton, where's Mama?
- She didn't come with me.

Oh. Well...

I'll tell you what, boys,
you run upstairs and

unpack and I'll take
us all out for dinner.

Okay. Come on, Christopher.

What do you mean,
Mama didn't come back?

I only came back to wrap
up this business with Westar.

We decided I should
come back alone.

I can't believe Mama knows
about April and didn't come with you.

She didn't know.

I only found out about it myself when
I went to England to see Sue Ellen.

And I thought it best to bring John
Ross and Christopher home with me.

Did you call and tell her?

I don't want her to
know. Not yet, at least.

Are you crazy? Bobby's wife
is dead. Mama needs to know.

- I'm gonna call her.
- If Bobby wants, he can call her himself.

- Bobby's not thinking straight.
- He told you not to call, didn't he?

Or he would've
called her by now.

Bobby doesn't know
what he's talking about.

Let her have some
peace. Let her be happy.

There's plenty of time
later for her to find out.

Is everybody crazy around here?

I kept the lawyers up all night
hammering out the contract.

They're all ready.

Just have your people go over
them, and then we'll make it official.

- Sounds good to me.
- There's just one thing bothering me.

What's that?

The first two times we met,
you're as cold as ice in January.

Then, suddenly, there's a
definite thaw. How come?

You always did look a gift
horse in the mouth, Johnny.

That's because I never know
if a gift horse is a Trojan horse.

You've walked away from me before.
Why are you walking back to me now?

I didn't walk away
from you, Johnny, I ran.

Just as far away as I could get.

- Obviously not far enough.
- I thought it was.

I thought Cliff would be
the perfect antidote to you.

He was honest, kind, caring.

Sounds like a Boy Scout.

He was also boring,
self-involved and ambitious.

And safe. You never
settled for safe before.

Who says I settle for it now?

We'll see.

So tell me, where do all
the oil bigwigs hang out?

There are a couple
of places, why?

Since I'm going to be one now...

it's time they saw the
new power in town.

I'm sorry I was so late. I looked
in on you and you were asleep.

I stayed up as long as I could.

I'm sorry.

If I knew you were coming home
last night, I'd have been here.

It Doesn't matter. Forget it.

Come on, John Ross, we're
gonna be late for school.

Hey, you can miss school today.

I thought maybe you and I'd spend
some time together at the ranch.

Same goes for you, John Ross.

I got a business meeting,
but I'll be home before lunch.

Bobby, if it's a bad time for
me to finish this Westar deal...

I can always put
McKay off a while longer.

I don't know why you're getting
involved in it in the first place.

You and Mama were
having a good time traveling.

You should be with her instead
of worrying about business.

I didn't realize that my doing
business with Westar bothered you.

Personally, I don't give
a damn about Westar.

I just want you and Mama
to have a nice life together.

The on business is
gonna give you nothing

but trouble. You
should just stay out of it.

Whoa.

You wanna get
down and walk some?

Okay.

That's the quietest
ride I've ever taken.

Christopher, I know
you're upset about April.

Why won't you
talk to me about it?

Son, whatever it is,
I want you to tell me.

I was so scared, Dad.

When Aunt Sue Ellen
told me about April...

and you didn't call
for such a long time.

Why didn't you
call me right away?

And let me be with you?

I'm sorry, son.

I needed some time
to get myself together.

But I could've helped you.

I know.

I wasn't thinking too
clearly at the time.

I couldn't believe that
all that actually happened.

I know it's hard for
you to understand.

I'm still trying to be able
to deal with it myself.

Christopher...

it's my fault that April died.

- No, Dad, you didn't. You couldn't...
- No, no, no, I didn't k*ll her...

but she's dead because
of me, because of who I am.

No, Dad. It wasn't your fault.

Christopher.

There had to have been
something I could've done...

should've done to save her life.

But it was just one big
mistake after another.

April put her life in my hands.

She trusted me.

And I let her down.
I couldn't save her.

I love you, Dad. And
everything's gonna be okay now.

No, son.

It's not gonna be
okay. Not for a while.

Not until the people who
k*lled April have been punished.

Otherwise, none of
this makes any sense.

Do you understand?

- Yeah.
- And I have to go after them myself.

And once I've...

taken care of them, then
we can get on with our life.

Okay?

Let's go.

Hello, Rose. You
just look lovely.

I guess our little meeting
yesterday agreed with you.

Look, what happened
yesterday just happened.

Why don't we call it one of those
things and just forget about it?

Oh. Well, that'd be kind of a
shame, but if it's what you want.

Just as long as you hold
up your end of the bargain.

- What bargain?
- Now, don't tell me you forgot already.

I was drunk, and hurt, and mad,
I would have agreed to anything.

And you did.

You promised to help
me because I helped you.

- What do you want?
- Oh, nothing much.

I just want you to plant a
bug in your husband's office.

I have a friend on the police department
who'd be happy to show you the ropes.

- I can't do that.
- Well, sure you can.

Unless you want Mac
to find out about us.

You wouldn't dare.

Wouldn't I? Oh, boy,
that'd be embarrassing.

The one man he hates more than anybody else
in Dallas, having a fling with his wife.

Ha-ha-ha. In his house,
on his desk. My God.

You son of a b*tch.

Now what kind of language
is that for a lady to use?

I'm not a lady.

I'm a stupid fool.

Who's your friend on the police
department? I wanna get this over with.

Now you're talking, honey.

Don't worry. I'll be in touch.

How did you get in here?

You ought to do something about that lock
of yours. All it takes is a credit card.

By now, that's about
all mine's good for.

I don't like this, James.

Come on, Sly. Don't be mad. I
didn't know when you'd be back.

And I couldn't wait
to read this stuff.

I thought we
agreed not to do this.

I tried. I practically went back
to him on my hands and knees.

But he didn't wanna
hear it, so all bets are off.

He's just upset about Bobby
and April. Give him time.

No way. He had his
chance. He didn't want it.

Now, come here. I'm having
trouble reading some of your writing.

I told you, I don't wanna go
through with this anymore.

Don't jerk me around,
Sly. We had a deal.

That was before April's
death. I don't wanna hurt Bobby.

Hurt Bobby? Now you
sound like Cliff Barnes.

You didn't go to Cliff.

Sure I did.

James, how could you?
You didn't even ask me.

Why should I? I thought
this was what you wanted.

What I want is for all this
to be stopped, right now.

Sly, nobody worked harder for
J.R. than you did, and he fired you.

Don't you wanna
see him punished?

I don't wanna see him hurt.

I don't believe this.

First Cally, and now you.
What is it with this man?

Every time he's in trouble,
people wanna help him.

You wouldn't have kept these
records if you didn't wanna use them.

Maybe. I don't know anymore.
I just... I feel bad about all this.

We all feel bad about this. But
I'm gonna do it with or without you.

James, no.

You can do what you want, but
from now on, these talk for you.

I'm sorry, April.

I didn't know where else to go.

I bet if you could see me right
now, you'd be laughing your head off.

I guess it is pretty funny.

When's the last time
you saw me in church?

I'm sorry 1 didn't
go to your wedding.

I was hurt and angry
and feeling pretty selfish.

1 am so sorry 1 hurt you.

I loved you so much...
and you never knew.

Couldn't you see how much
1 wanted to be like you?

Every time 1 tried
to get close to you...

J always did something stupid
or hateful and got you mad at me.

Why did you leave me before
I could tell you how I felt?

It can be different, 1 promise.

I'll never say another mean thing
to you. I'll always be there for you.

PM he the best sister in
the world, just don't be dead.

- So she was telling the truth.
- From what I can see, apparently so.

I have records of birth
and marriage certificates...

for both Sheila and John
Foley. Both of Odessa, Texas.

He was head of
Foley Petrotech...

and he did commit su1c1de
just exactly like she said.

Is that it? Don't you have
any idea where she is?

No, not yet. The lady is a
complete and total mystery.

PTA president, head of the
Ladies Auxiliary League...

regular churchgoer. She's nothing at all
like the woman you said you knew in Paris.

Well, that was all
before her husband died.

That's right. That's
when everything changed.

She was under medical
care for many months.

- Being treated for acute depression.
- And the doctor just let her walk away?

No. One day she just vanished.

The breakfast dishes were left on
the table. The radio was still playing.

It was like she just
disappeared into thin air.

The geologists are
here for the meeting.

Sorry, I didn't know
you had people with you.

You run the meeting, J.R., and
run all the other meetings too.

- I have more important things to do.
- Oh, all right, fine.

We'll be in my office
when you need us.

She was involved with other
people besides Jordan Lee.

Retrace her steps. Find out who
she talked to after her husband died.

There's gotta be somebody out
there who can give us information.

Don't know what to say,
Mac. Chairman of the board?

Westar stock has already gone up
10 percent since Dusty acquired it.

You vote it the right way and he's
gonna end up a very, very rich man.

- It's not about our money.
- Well, then, what is it?

I really thought you'd be
delighted at the opportunity.

Under other circumstances, I would,
but after what happened to April...

Oh. I'm really sorry about that.

Poor Bobby.

How's Miss Ellie holding up?
This has gotta be terrible for her.

Well, as a matter of
fact, I haven't told her yet.

Clayton, do you think you
can keep it from her forever?

I don't know.

When I came back to Dallas, I fully
intended to take my seat on the board.

- Working with you at Westar.
- But?

But Bobby said something
to me. It got me thinking.

Why should I go back to this business
when there's so much life left to enjoy?

You are kidding.

- I'm dead serious.
- What would you do with your voting right?

Let you vote them for me.

- Just like that?
- No.

There's a price tag attached.

I want you to leave
Ewing Oil alone.

I don't want any trouble
between you and the boys.

Clayton, you give me
your voting rights and

I guarantee you,
there will be no trouble.

And you can have my word on it.

Good.

But we'll make sure it's all spelled
out in the contract, just in case.

Anything you say.

What about the request for
the lifting of the drilling limits?

Tell him no way. You
got a reservation for me?

Yes, of course. Let me
show you to your table.

But if we can reduce our
dependence on foreign oil...

Forget it, I make the
decisions around here, not you.

Maybe we could ease the
pumping restrictions just a little.

No, I said, no. Listen, just tell Carter
McKay and Westar to take a hike.

Dora Mae. DORA MAE: Yes, sir?

Could you see that my
associates get seated, please?

Certainly, Mr. Barnes.
This way, gentlemen.

Be right there.

Is this the goon that
put a g*n in my ear?

Cliff, not now.

No, is he the guy that you dumped me
for? Huh? What's so great about him?

Cliff, would you please
just leave us alone?

Friend of yours, Liz?

Why don't you introduce us?

Cliff Barnes, John Danzig.

So you're the
famous Cliff Barnes?

- It's nice to meet you.
- Oh, I'll bet.

Uh, what's with this guy anyway?

He's a friend, Cliff. Now
would you please just go away?

He's a friend. How wonderful.

What kind of wine are you drinking?
I wanna treat you to another bottle.

I'd rather you
didn't do that, Cliff.

No, I insist, please.
Yeah, need a wine steward.

Wine steward.

Cliffy, the lady said, no, thank you.
Why don't you go back to your own table?

But she doesn't
know what she wants.

Sometimes she runs hot.
Sometimes she runs cold. Mostly cold.

That a fact?

Sit down, slimeball.

Cliff.

Johnny, no! Johnny, stop it!

My fault. Please, uh,
go back to your dinners.

I'm sorry, Cliffy. I'm terribly
sorry. Are you all right?

Come on, honey.

Time to go.

See you around' CNN.

If I see you
again, I'll k*ll you.

Hey, good to see you,
James. Come on in.

How are you, son? I'm sorry to
hear about your fight with your father.

- How'd you hear about it?
- Oh.

It's a small town. People talk.

I've also heard that
you've fallen on hard times.

- Anything I can do to help?
- Well, actually, I came to help you.

How so?

J.R. fired his secretary
and she's out for blood.

She's got J.R.'s files.
Names, dates, payoffs.

And I want you to have them.

- And what do you get in return?
- Nothing.

I just want you to use the information
to bring my daddy down to his knees.

I wanna see him at
the bottom, with me.

He's your father, James. Are
you sure you wanna do this to him?

Yeah. I thought you'd
be jumping for joy.

Did you know that J.R. had
Duke Carlisle run out of town...

for suckering you
into that poker game?

That's his problem, not mine. And
what's that got to do with anything?

I had a son and he died because
he was full of hate and anger.

Don't be like him, James.

Go back to J.R. and
make up with him.

Spare me the sermon. Do you
want the information or not? It's free.

- No, I don't want it. I don't need it.
- I don't understand this.

J.R. shafted everyone in this town
and nobody wants to get back at him.

I don't need to get back at J.R.

Matter of fact, I never have
to worry about him again.

- What happened to you?
- Oh, no, this is nothing, forget about it.

Bobby, I'm so sorry about
April. I should've called you.

Forget it.

But you know, I didn't know what
to say. I didn't know how to say it.

If there's anything I
can do, you just name it.

Get me the books on
Foley Petrotech in Odessa.

That's a privately-held
company. The O.R.C.

doesn't have the
authority to go in there.

Cliff, it's me. I know how the game
is played. I know you can get them.

What do you want?

I wanna buy that company
and scatter it to the winds.

Oh. You don't know
what you're talking about.

Cliff, I'm gonna destroy
Sheila Foley's company.

Wherever she is, she's
gonna know it happened...

- and she's gonna know I was behind it.
- Bobby, Bobby, hey.

That's not gonna
bring April back.

No, but it might bring
Sheila Foley back to Texas.

- Now, are you gonna do it or not?
- Yeah, I'll do it.

Good.

I didn't expect
you until tonight.

I finished early. Your
brother kept good accounts.

Aren't you gonna let me in?

You never used to ask first.

That's because I
always had a key.

What's the matter?
Why so nervous, Liz?

I'm not nervous,
Johnny. I'm just tired.


You're upset about
last night, aren't you?

Since when do you read minds?

You think it's because of
what I did to your friend Cliffy.

Is that a fact?

But what you're really upset
about is how much you enjoyed it.

It was a turn-on for
you, wasn't it, Liz?

Right, Johnny.

The same way I get turned-on
watching an elephant crush a mouse.

No matter how
much you deny it...

I know you better than anyone.

You loved it.

No, Johnny, you loved it.

v*olence was always
your turn-on, not mine.

You used to be more
honest with yourself, Liz.

You craved the
excitement as much as I did.

Maybe then, not now.

When are you gonna
stop playing games?

When are you
gonna start to listen?

Whatever I feel about
yesterday doesn't matter.

You don't own me, Johnny.
Not then, and not now.

You're never gonna get rid
of me, Liz. I'm in your blood.

Maybe.

But I'll decide if we get back
together and on what terms.

There's never been
anyone like you.

You're like a wild horse
that's never been ridden.

But I'm gonna break you.

And I'm gonna enjoy every second
it takes to put my saddle on you.

You understand that
the late Mrs. Ewing...

made her will
before her marriage...

and only at the insistence
of her tax advisers.

So what I have here is
somewhat frivolous in tone.

- Could we just get on with it, please?
- Yes, of course.

To sum up briefly, your sister
left bequests to various friends...

$500,000 to her mother,
Amy Thompson Stevens.

But the bulk of her
estate, and I quote:

"Goes to my sister,
Michelle Stevens.

You always wanted
what I had, Shelley...

so congratulations,
you've finally got your wish."

You understand these are
Mrs. Ewing's own words.

- Under normal circumstances, we'd...
- It's understood, Mr. Gerhardt.

Is that it?

Not quite.

She also made her sister
executrix of her estate.

But as her husband, Mr. Ewing,
you have the right to contest the will.

No way. He doesn't get anything.
He doesn't deserve a dime.

Miss Stevens, please.

I called Paris.

The inspector on April's
case told me everything.

I know how she died, Bobby,
and the part that you played in it.

You don't know anything.

I know that she died because
she was married to you.

Congratulations. Like April
said, you finally got what you want.

I won't be contesting the will.

JAMES“. J.R. shafted
everyone in this town...

and nobody wants
to get back at him.

Why, you dirty little turncoat.

1 don't need to get back at J.R.

Matter of fact, 1 never have
to worry about him again.

What have you got on me, McKay?

What have you got?

Oh, my God.

I can't believe you're here.

I was in New York on business
when I heard about... About April.

It's a terrible, terrible
tragedy for all of you.

Yeah. Bobby's really broken up
about it. I don't know what to do.

I flew out to pay my respects to Bobby.
I wanted to tell him how sorry I am.

You flew all the way
out here just for that?

Well, James is here...

and you.

Perhaps it was a mistake.

No. No mistake.

I can't tell you how much
I need you here, Vanessa.

You threw a lifeline
to a drowning man.

Then I'm glad I came.

Can we have dinner tonight?

I can't. I just got in and I
really should call James.

Well, that can wait. He's fine.

I'd like to spend some time with
you alone before you see him.

Why? Is something wrong?

Oh, no. I'm just
jealous of your time.

I'm afraid if you go away with
James, I'll never see you again.

That would never happen, but,
all right, I'll wait to call James.

I'll wait for our
dinner, tomorrow night.

Shall I come out to Southfork
or will you and Cally pick me up?

Well, Cally and I are
separated. She's filed for divorce.

Oh, J.R., I'm so sorry.

Don't be. We weren't
right for each other.

Not like you and I.

You'd better get used to
my company, Vanessa.

Because I'm never
letting you go again.

So how are you and Liz
getting along these days?

She's selling me her company.

No kidding?

I thought she'd never give it
up. At least, not without a fight.

I left her 20 percent
as a consolation prize.

But that's not enough to stop
me from making my next move.

Which is?

Taking over Westar.

That's not gonna happen, Johnny.

Come on, Mac. We worked well together
in the past. You were a good soldier then.

This is just one more favor
you're gonna do for me.

Westar is not for sale.

All right.

If you don't wanna make it easy, I
guess I'll have to watch you sweat.

That should be fun.

Get out of my office, Dancer.

Or Danzig, or whatever your
name happens to be this week.

Not bad.

I haven't even made my first
move, you're already sweating.

I said, get out.

I will, for now.

The first thing that
gets changed...

is this office.

I thought you had
better taste, Mac.

You make one move to
take over my company...

you're a dead man.

I'm going to enjoy this, Mac.

Ha. I really am.

Liz Adams is here to see you.

Mr. Barnes? Are you there?

All right, Carolyn, send her in.

- Hello, Cliff.
- Liz.

I want to apologize for what
happened to you the other night.

- Are you all right?
- No, I'm not all right.

I don't appreciate being humiliated
in front of the woman I love.

- Cliff, please...
- No, just stop.

Look. your Mend Dan-Hg
might have won the first round...

but the fight's not over yet.

Cliff, don't.

- He's a dangerous man.
- Don't ever think I'm not.

The bastard is gonna
pay for what he did to me.

Cliff, just stay
away from Johnny.

I'll take care of
him. Believe me.

Yeah, a bottle of '45 Mouton
with the bottle of perfume, yeah.

Have it delivered right here at
my office, 5:00 this afternoon, huh?

All right.

J.R., Michelle Stevens
is here to see you.

Well, show her in.

Michelle, please sit down.

I'm so sorry about April.

Thank you.

- Would you like a drink or something?
- No.

- Well, where you been all this time?
- Oh, I think you know, J.R.

But thanks for asking.

You know, we have
something in common.

Bobby took things away from
both of us that were precious.

- Such as?
- He took my sister away from me.

And Ewing Oil away from you.

What are you
getting at, Michelle?

I know you love Bobby, but I
also know you love Ewing Oil more.

I'll help you get rid of
Bobby and make it yours.

Get the hell out of my office.

I thought you'd leap at the
chance to get your company back.

Not this way.

I'd never do anything to hurt my brother.
This company's gonna save his life.

And I'm sure as hell not gonna let some
silly little twit take it away from him.

Some silly little twit can't.

But I can and will.

Don't underestimate me, J.R.

I'm not the same naive little girl
you shipped away to Bermuda.

Yeah, is Cliff Barnes
there? This is Bobby Ewing.

When did he leave?

Did he tell you
where he was going?

No, no, I tried him at home.

Listen, he was doing some research for
me on a company called Foley Petrotech.

Do you know if he
came up with anything?

Yeah. No, no, it's all right.

Just have him give me a call
when you hear from him, okay?

Thanks.

Good evening.

Gentlemen, I think there
must be some mistake.

May I come in?

Oh!

- Join the party.
- You look like you're ready to go out.

I thought we were
going out for dinner.

In a manner of speaking.

We're going
exactly 6112 miles...

to a wonderful apartment in
Vienna, where we drank this wine...

and you were wearing this perfume,
we were listening to this music...

and eating that dinner.

Here you are, boys.
Have a good time.

Perhaps that was a better
night for you than it was for me.

Well, up to a point, it was
one of the best nights of my life.

Until I so boldly
propositioned you?

And I so stupidly
turned you down.

Tonight we're starting all over.

Can we really
erase all that time?

So much has happened
since then, J.R.

I don't think you understand.

For the first time in our
lives, we're both free.

Three times we've been together,
Vanessa, and three times I let you go.

I don't know, J.R. We
had something so special.

Did it last because we
spent so much time apart?

Will we destroy it if we
stay together permanently?

I don't believe
that for a minute.

Oh, Vanessa, we
have so little time.

Look at Bobby and April.
They took everything for granted.

We can't let that
happen. I won't.

I do love you so.

And in Vienna, I loved you
so, as I've loved you all my life.

I'm never letting you go again.

Room service.

ML Dan-Hg?

Hm.

Room sewing ML Dan-Hg.

Hm.

ML Dan-Hg?

Next on Dallas:

What the hell is going on here,
Mac? Did you k*ll that man?

Johnny's dead?

Very.

You blew it.

I didn't k*ll him.

I wonder what McKay would
give to get a hold of this.

I know about Sheila
Foley, and I wanna help.

It's a very personal score I
have to settle with Sheila Foley.

Until we find Mr. Barnes,
he's not in the clear...

and you're not
in the clear either.

- You're as dumb as you are big.
- I'll take you apart right now.

- No!
- J.R., knock it off!

You see the man you
fell in love with years ago.

But now he's 3 Wing cheating'
whoring' no-good bastard.

- I do have his child.
- Yeah, but so do I.

You're pregnant?

I still feel strange about this.

There's no need to.

I know I love her, but somehow I get
the feeling the only person you love...

is the one you see in the
mirror when you shave.

So be it.

I'll be down there first
thing in the morning.

I know where Sheila Foley is.
