00:00Where does your brother fit in all this?
00:03He needs more experience, Dad.
00:04How many years is that going to take?
00:06Five, ten, fifty...
00:07Dad, when you told me to take over you and all,
00:08you said I could handle it any way I saw fit,
00:11and that's the way I see...
00:13Dad, it seems you're not about making deals on the hospital steps.
00:15Daddy is sick upstairs, sick because of you.
00:17You're just moving too fast, boy.
00:19He's scheduled for open-heart surgery this morning.
00:21If anything happens to Daddy,
00:22I'm going to be by your side 24 hours a day.
00:25You're hiding something, J.R., and I'm going to find out what it is.
00:27You're clamping, Mike.

02:59Oh, my God.
03:16The fundraising committee met yesterday and voted to have our annual dance at the marina.
03:21They had it there last year.
03:23Yes, and it was a total success.
03:25My husband hates dances.
03:28Well, I think we should take a vote.
03:30All those in favor, raise your hands.
03:35Now, why don't we adjourn and meet back here tomorrow?
03:38We have to think of a theme for our dance that would show our concern for the underprivileged,
03:42but something not too depressing.
03:45Ladies, until tomorrow.
03:52I'd better drive back with Sue Ellen.
03:54I don't want my daughters-in-law to think I'm playing favorites.
03:56Oh, that's fine.
03:57I'll call Bobby at the office and ask them to meet me at lunch.
04:00Pamela, I don't think that's such a good idea.
04:02Men don't like their wives calling at the office.
04:04Sue Ellen?
04:08I appreciate your experience, too.
04:25Yeah?
04:26Oh, put her on.
04:28Hi, sweetheart.
04:29How's your meeting?
04:30Oh, I'm sorry.
04:32It probably takes some getting used to, like avocados.
04:36No, sweetheart, I can't.
04:38I'm sorry.
04:39Now, I have a real important meeting with J.R. and some boys,
04:41and it's going to go right past lunch.
04:43Okay.
04:45All right, I'll see you tonight.
04:46I love you, too.
04:55At least, would you put the pack in real estate?
04:57Okay, we'll put it.
05:03J.R.?
05:07J.R.?
05:09J.R., I've been looking over these Ewing Oil land holdings.
05:13I can't believe we have that much property.
05:15You mean oil leases?
05:16No, raw land all over the state.
05:18There's not a well on it, nothing but sagebrush and bugs.
05:21Oh, well, a few years ago, when all the independents were just taking leases,
05:25Daddy decided to buy up as much land as he could for a couple of three dollars an acre.
05:30Some of them were oil wells, some of them dry holes, you know, can't win them all.
05:35You've been talking to the geologists, have you?
05:36No, but I have been doing some thinking, and I think we can put this property to some good use.
05:42Uh-huh.
05:43Uh, I want you to go over and talk to Luke Haley at Luke Haley Freight Lines.
05:47I can't do that, J.R.
05:48We'll have that meeting in a couple minutes.
05:50Well, the thing is, I don't know what happened to all those derricks that were supposed to be down in
05:54Abilene last week.
05:55Look, I'll give them a call after the meeting, all right?
05:57No, the phone's not going to do it, boy.
05:59Look, J.R., I am a full member of Ewing Oil.
06:02Now, I should be in on a meeting with Jeb Ames and Willie Jogar.
06:05Well, I'm going to take care of those old boys, but in the meantime, if we don't find those rigs,
06:09we're going to lose a fortune.
06:10We are partners with them in over a dozen fields worth millions of dollars.
06:15Bobby, I don't want to pull rank on you, but I do know how to run the company,
06:18so I want you to go over to Luke Haley Freight Lines right now, okay?
06:32Bobby, would you put this on your company, please?
06:55All right, all right.
06:59Mr. Ames, Mr. Gar.
07:01Hey, J.R. there, please.
07:03Let me know Willie Jogar and Jeb Ames.
07:05Well, there they are, right on time, dude.
07:07How you doing, boys?
07:08Hey, J.R., well, you're looking real good.
07:11Oh, thank you, thank you.
07:12You know, I've got a hell of an idea.
07:13I thought we might go over to the club and have a drink.
07:15I don't know about you, Willie Jogar, but my friend here and I could use a little steam bath.
07:19Hey, especially you.
07:22Darling, I get any more calls, you tell them I'm out for the rest of the day and maybe the
07:25rest of the night, too.
07:26What do you say?
07:27Yeah, I tell you, call my wife and tell her I won't be in for dinner.
07:31Hey, I got a little...
07:32Yes, I got a little...
07:40The club?
07:43Is that all he said?
07:45He said he'd be gone for the rest of the day.
07:56You come home at four in the morning, you might as well stay out all night.
08:01How's business?
08:02Well, whoever you're doing business with wears fleur-de-preint.
08:06Tom, you're liberating.
08:09Must have been waitress.
08:12Oh, one.
08:17Ready?
08:19Yes.
08:20Is Pamela coming?
08:21No, she has another appointment.
08:23Well, thank you.
08:25Well, I tried to involve her, Miss Ellie, but she just doesn't seem to fit in.
08:43Ah!
08:50Ha!
08:51Hey.
08:51Watch the suit.
08:52Watch the suit.
08:53We touched you today.
08:55No, we're not touching.
08:56I'm waiting for my phone call from Houston.
08:58Too busy to dry my bath?
09:00Never.
09:07Oh, watch out for the suit.
09:08I'll buy a new one.
09:10You going out with Mama and Sue Ellen again?
09:12Oh, not today.
09:13I have lunch with Liz Craig.
09:15Liz Craig?
09:16Mm-hmm.
09:17Your boss from the store?
09:18What's that all about?
09:21Well, what that's all about is not having to listen to boring Sue Ellen, or going to any
09:26more boring luncheons.
09:27That's what you've had lunch with Liz Craig a couple of three, four times the last few
09:30weeks.
09:31What's going on?
09:32She's a friend.
09:34A friend.
09:35She's going to ask you back to work, isn't she?
09:38Is that bad?
09:41Just have to think about that.
09:44Hello.
09:45Harold, how are you?
09:46Yeah, I tried to get a hold of you.
09:49Yes, I did.
09:51And you're going to love her when you see her.
09:54Look, Harold, Ewing Oil has a lot of property, and I'd like to put it to some good use.
09:59I don't know.
10:00Business complex, apartment building, something.
10:02I know you have a lot of experience in the field.
10:05What do you say we get together?
10:13Beep, beep.
10:14There's Bobby.
10:14Hey, I want to talk to you.
10:17Come on.
10:18Ray, you go ahead.
10:18I'll catch up with you.
10:20Bobby, maybe you can get your dad to take it easy for a few days.
10:23He's been working pretty hard lately.
10:25Ray, I'll catch up with you at your shoots.
10:27Yes, sir.
10:29Bobby.
10:32That's true?
10:33Have you been pushing yourself?
10:35You know, your grandpa, Southworth, he hated oil men.
10:38He said to ruin the ranges and stank up the air.
10:42And he figured the only way that you could live off the land decently was to raise cattle.
10:46Well, after all these years, I'm inclined to give the devil his dues.
10:50I'm having one hell of a time.
10:52I'm glad.
10:53Bobby, you got something on your mind?
10:55Yeah.
10:56Now, Daddy, we own a lot of land, and I'd like to use some of it.
10:58Maybe construction business.
11:00Construction?
11:01You talked to JR about that?
11:02No, but, Daddy, the cities in this state are expanding at such a rate that some of our holdings are
11:06in prime building sites.
11:08Why didn't you talk to him?
11:09What?
11:10JR, he runs a company.
11:12If you think you want to branch out, you know...
11:14No, Daddy, I'm talking about a whole separate company.
11:16JR giving you a hard time?
11:20I can't work with him, Danny.
11:22Now, I don't like saying it, but it's true.
11:23Bobby, you stand up to him.
11:25There is no way.
11:26He plays everything so close to the vest, I can't get in.
11:28That's no excuse.
11:30You demand your rightful share.
11:32Look, I can go into the office every day and punch him out, but I don't want to live that
11:35way.
11:36You're not quitting on me, are you?
11:38Just let me check out this thing with my friend down in Houston, okay?
11:42I don't like you running out, Bobby.
11:44Daddy, I've never run out on anything in my life, and you know it.
11:47But if I can do this on my own without JR, then I want that chance.
11:52I don't like it.
11:58Daddy, I've got a plane to catch.
12:00I'll let you know how things turn out.
12:07Manuel, take my heart.
12:18Don't let me know how things turn out.
12:20I don't like it.
12:20Don't let me know.
12:20But I'm coming.
12:25I'm coming.
12:27I'm coming.
12:28I don't know how things turn out.
12:32I don't like it.
12:34I don't like it.
12:50There you are.
12:52Morning, Ed.
12:56Didn't know you kept bankers hours.
13:00Well, I was out with Jed Ames and Willie Joe Gar last night.
13:04Yeah, about as trustworthy as two step-thrown rattlesnakes.
13:08Well, so you're the one that brought them in as partners up those two fields up in Galveston?
13:13No, I brought the daddies in.
13:15Men you can trust with a handshake.
13:19Well, we surely got a lot of new business with them now.
13:22I called it to them. They don't go to the john without asking me first.
13:26Where does your brother fit into all this?
13:30Yeah, he's doing fine.
13:31I just talked to him.
13:33I got a feeling that you're trying to make an office boy out of him.
13:38He had no cause coming running to you to complain.
13:40He's talking about quitting, going into construction business.
13:44That's the first I heard of him.
13:45Well, you knew that I always had in mind the two of you working together.
13:49That's not happening.
13:50Yeah, he needs more experience, Dad.
13:52That's a young company you're running, J.R.
13:54Family business.
13:56Bob's got a right to know what's going on.
13:58Every detail.
13:59Every meeting.
14:00I'm telling you, he's just too impulsive to sit in on every meeting, and that's all there is to it.
14:05How many years is that going to take?
14:06Five, ten, fifteen.
14:07Dad, when you told me to take over you and all, you said I could handle it any way I
14:10saw fit.
14:11And that's the way I see...
14:14Dad?
14:16You all right?
14:17What's the matter?
14:18Oh, God.
14:21Dad!
14:23Ain't nobody here.
14:28Operator?
14:30Operator, South Fork Ranch.
14:31Get an ambulance out here right away.
14:33South Fork Ranch!
14:35Dad?
15:01It's agreed, then.
15:02The theme for our dance this year will be the Pioneers.
15:05It was nice of you to agree, Mrs. Laird.
15:09We will need committees for centerpieces, punch, hors d'oeuvres, and whatever else that we might need.
15:17It would be lovely...
15:19Yes, let me see, what is it?
15:21Speak slower, I can't understand you.
15:25And in the center...
15:26Well, who was in the ambulance?
15:28A real covered wagon.
15:29Wait, isn't anybody there?
15:30Yes, that's everyone.
15:32All right, call Bobby at the office and find Ray getting to stand by.
15:37Lucy, do you know the office number?
15:39Mrs. Shannon.
15:39Well, if you forget, it's in the book next to the phone.
15:43Now, tell me the name on the ambulance.
15:46Okay, bye-bye.
15:47Bye-bye.
16:18Can I get it?
16:21Okay, Chris, let's put them down here until we get room three ready.
16:28Okay, let's have a quarter-grain air mass ready to give IV when I say, all right?
16:40You would have loved it, Pam.
16:42He came up to here.
16:43He had cigar ashes all over his chest.
16:46And he tells me he's gonna lay New York at my feet.
16:49Just like an old movie.
16:51How do you like that portrait?
16:53It's wonderful.
16:55I'm surprised.
16:56I thought you enjoyed married life.
16:59Especially South Fork.
17:00Well, I loved being married to Bobby.
17:03But South Fork's another story.
17:08You're bored, aren't you?
17:11Liz, I am bored to death.
17:14You know, I can always find a place for you at the store.
17:20Oh, thank you.
17:25Excuse me, Liz.
17:30Doctor?
17:33Say, doctor, uh, my father...
17:35No, he's still holding on.
17:36I'm sorry, I've got another emergency.
17:38Doctor Gerson, go to the turn.
17:40Doctor Gerson, go to the turn.
17:44Doctor Gerson...
17:44Mother.
17:46It's Dad.
17:47He's had some sort of seizure.
17:48Where is he?
17:49It's in room three, right over there.
17:52Ellie, let me go in a moment.
17:54I thought it was you, Gina.
17:56Open your hand.
17:58Doctor Danvers was on his way to lunch when I called.
18:00I was lucky.
18:01Well, I did everything as fast as I could.
18:03I didn't think of Doctor Danvers.
18:04I just got out of the hospital.
18:05No one's faulting you, J.R.
18:06J.R.
18:08You did the answer.
18:10Where's Bobby?
18:11In Houston.
18:12What happened?
18:13Doc's taken sick.
18:14The doctor's with him.
18:15What is Bobby doing in Houston?
18:17I don't know.
18:17Complaining about something, I suppose.
18:20Ray!
18:22Ray!
18:23In here.
18:28There you are.
18:29I've been looking everywhere for you.
18:31Where were you?
18:32I need someone to talk to.
18:34There's a ranch to run here.
18:36There's a mare here.
18:37You can fold any day now.
18:39You're really ready.
18:40I'm scared, Ray.
18:44Hold me.
18:45Lucy.
18:46Not now.
18:48I don't want to grow old.
18:51You're a long ways from old.
18:53Well, I never thought Granddaddy was old either.
18:56Now he's dying.
18:59You ought to be thinking about your granddaddy, not yourself.
19:03I am, Ray.
19:04I am.
19:05That's why I'm here.
19:05I just need you.
19:07I don't want to grow old.
19:10I just want to feel like I'm alive.
19:14Lisa.
19:17So does Jock.
19:29Ellie.
19:30It appears Jock has suffered coronary insufficiency.
19:34How bad?
19:36I don't know.
19:37There's no testing equipment here.
19:39I can't get his blood pressure stabilized.
19:41I'd like to get him into Dallas Memorial.
19:44I wish he'd been taken there first.
19:48We've lost invaluable time.
19:50Well, then I don't think we should stand around talking.
19:52Do you?
19:59He'll be okay, Janelle.
20:01Well, has anybody tried to reach Bobby?
20:04Well, I don't think he cares the way he started in on Daddy today.
20:07Something I suppose you put him up to.
20:08Are you trying to make me responsible for Jock's heart attack?
20:12Come on, Junior.
20:13I'm just saying he needs us.
20:14All right.
20:25Operator, Houston information, please.
20:37Don't you do anything foolish, you hear?
20:59Comfortable, Jock?
21:01You're like a damn TV station.
21:07I'll tell Ellie, you're kicking like a mute.
21:10All right.
21:12Yeah.
21:18Am I going to make it?
21:20Yeah.
21:29J.R., sit down.
21:32You've been pacing ever since we've been here.
21:33Oh, and I.
21:41Jock's out of pain.
21:43His blood pressure's been stabilized.
21:45And he's complaining.
21:48What next?
21:50A whole lot of testing to find out what really happened.
21:53Any idea?
21:54Oh, I don't like to guess.
21:55You know that.
21:56When can we see him?
21:57In a couple of hours, but only for five minutes.
22:00Well, I guess it'll be time to pick up Bobby at the airport.
22:03But Harlan, I want to stay here.
22:06Get me a room.
22:07I don't want to leave Jock.
22:09I'd rather you didn't.
22:11If Jock knew that you were keeping a 24-hour vigil, it could do more harm than good.
22:17All right.
22:24Well, he sees us.
22:26Hold on now.
22:27Just sit still a minute, will you?
22:37J.R., how's Daddy?
22:38Why did you run off to Houston?
22:40Never mind that.
22:40It seems you're not about making deals on the hospital steps.
22:42Daddy is sick upstairs.
22:44Sick because you, you and your wild schemes.
22:46The way I hear it, he collapsed arguing with you.
22:48Do you have to hear?
22:49I'll tell you what we were arguing about.
22:50We were arguing about you.
22:51You and threatening to leave Ewing Oil.
22:53You just haven't taken the time to learn how to learn the business.
22:55That's your problem.
22:56That's not true, J.R.
22:57Yeah, well, what do you think worked him up?
22:59How should I know?
22:59He was fine when I left.
23:01Fine, was he?
23:01We were arguing about you.
23:02And you're just moving too fast, boy.
23:04You're the one who took him to that two-bit hospital and forgot to call a doctor.
23:08Are you trying to blame me for what you did to him?
23:10Bobby, the most important thing is to see your Daddy right now.
23:25You can go to the car, Sue Ellen.
23:28How's your Daddy?
23:30Yeah, it's the coronary.
23:32We won't know for a while.
23:33You know, Willie Joe and I were just talking about him when we heard the news of him.
23:36Yeah, I believe this would be a good time for us to take a look at that red file.
23:43For the last thing on my mind, it's business right now.
23:46What was the matter, G?
23:48I mean, you know, it was just yesterday in the stands.
23:50You asked us to be your backers, you know, and back you when the cartel starts trying to decide about
23:55your investment plans for next year.
23:57You can't run the blame with the Joe here.
23:59I mean, considering what happened with your Daddy and everything, we're kind of like a swing vote in there, you
24:03know?
24:04We'll make sure of that file and everything before it's too late.
24:07I mean, forbid.
24:09I'll call you.
24:10Call us soon, you know?
24:35Call us soon, you know?
24:58Call us soon, you know?
25:00Call us soon, you know?
25:03Call us soon, you know?
25:08Call us soon, you know?
25:09Call us soon, you know?
25:10Call us soon, you know?
25:11Call us soon, you know?
25:12Call us soon, you know?
25:12Call us soon, you know?
25:12Call us soon, you know?
25:38I don't know why you'd want to give up a nice air-conditioned office for this.
25:41Well, I figured it was time I learned a little more about this side of the family business.
25:45I'm trying to help if I can, Bobby.
25:47Thanks a lot, Ray.
25:48Come on!
26:01Miss Ellie? Do you know where Bobby is?
26:04I've had breakfast with him. He's out working with Ray.
26:07Ray? Doing what?
26:08He's filling in for Jock.
26:12Miss Ellie, Bobby thinks he's the cause of Jock's heart attack.
26:16Nobody's the cause, except maybe Jock himself.
26:19He never would listen to the doctor.
26:22Miss Ellie, I'm really worried about Bobby.
26:25I've got more on my mind than that.
26:27Pam, you're a Ewing now. Bobby's your responsibility. Handle it.
26:31Well, I better get to the hospital. Jock gets peeved if I'm not around when he wakes up in the
26:36morning. I don't know why.
26:44Bye.
26:48They spend millions of dollars on a hospital to save your life and then try to kill you with the
26:54damn food.
26:57Jock, it's not that bad.
27:00Nobody tells you anything around here. They've been poking, pushing and pulling at me for two days now.
27:07I talked to Harlan. I got a few more tests to do and then they'll know.
27:11Are they gonna open me up, Ellie?
27:15He's not sure.
27:17But they're bringing the best cardiac surgeon in the state.
27:22How's things going at home?
27:25Same as usual.
27:27Except Bobby's working with Ray. He's filling in till you get back.
27:31Well, that's good.
27:33You know, Ellie, sometimes I worry, Ellie.
27:37I don't think I've been a very good father.
27:41Yes, you have.
27:44Gary pulling out. Drifter.
27:48Maybe I could have done better by him, but I just didn't know how.
27:53Jock, don't.
27:55Look at J.R.
27:57He may get on your nerves once in a while, but he's done wonders for Ewing Oil.
28:02A natural-born businessman.
28:04And Bobby's working the ranch. I like that.
28:07Maybe that's the way to solve the whole problem.
28:11Maybe.
28:14Ellie, if anything happens to me, you keep the family together, you hear?
28:22Nothing's going to happen.
28:24Promise me. It means a lot.
28:26To me, too.
28:30Remember when my daddy didn't give us five years together?
28:34Sometimes I think he was right. We were both so headstrong.
28:38Well, we raised a family, and we're still together.
28:45We've had a good life, Ellie.
28:47We still do.
28:48Come on.
28:53Come on.
28:53Come on.
28:56Come on!
29:00Get out of here.
29:05Come on, grunt!
29:07Come on!
29:08Come on!
29:09Come on, grunt!
29:10Come on!
29:11Come on, Grunt!
29:13Come on, Grunt!
29:18I bought daylight between your wife and that saddle.
29:21Better take a look. It might be important.
29:45News about Daddy?
29:46No. Bobby, I want to talk to you.
29:49Pamela, I got work to do.
29:50But it's important.
29:52Why didn't you go to see Jock in the hospital yesterday?
29:55Pamela, he doesn't need a crowd around him.
29:57Well, you're hardly a crowd.
29:58Is that what you came out here for, to remind me to see my Daddy?
30:01I don't need reminders, Pamela.
30:02Well, you need something. Are you afraid to see him?
30:05I've never been afraid of that man in my life.
30:07Well, what are you trying to prove working out here?
30:11He's not here. Somebody has to do it.
30:14Bobby, why are you laying this kind of guilt on yourself?
30:17Pamela, I could have killed that man.
30:18Oh, come on. It wasn't your fault.
30:22Pamela, go to the house, please.
30:25No.
30:27Bobby.
30:28Nobody can help what happened.
30:30Please, he needs you now.
30:43So, Feeney says to the bumpkin, now what would you do?
30:45I said a bumpkin scratched his head and said, well, I'd call my brother Eustace.
30:50Because Eustace ain't never seen no real good, right?
31:21For the last time, please leave, before I call security.
31:23Well, my friends really ought to know better.
31:25Oh, they don't mean no harm.
31:27The judge would like to tell them stories.
31:29I like to listen to them.
31:33Time to rest now, Mr. Eustace.
31:34It's my son.
31:36Just a few more minutes.
31:38Would you close the doors a little while?
31:41Thanks.
31:44Since your mama home, told her to rest up.
31:48She was completely worn out.
31:51I asked, she misses you.
31:52We owned it.
31:54She tells me, uh, you're working with Ray.
31:57He needs a little help getting those cattle ready for shipping.
32:00What happened to the construction business?
32:03I put it on the back burner for a while.
32:05We'll talk about this when you get home.
32:09Bobby, I do not want you to leave the Ewing Hall Company to you here.
32:14Look, I came down here to find out how you were doing,
32:19not to have a business conference.
32:21The hour's doing fine, but don't get me wrong.
32:25I'd like to have you there, too.
32:28I get the feeling sometimes that your brother's not telling me everything.
32:35Go.
32:49Go.
32:51Go.
32:58Oh, my God.
33:38Oh, my God.
34:19Oh, my God.
34:21Are you planning to rejoin the working class?
34:25I find it more honest than waiting for Jock to die so you can become the lady of the manor.
34:31You have a disgusting mouth.
34:33Oh, I beg your pardon.
34:34What was that you were doing up on the stairs?
34:36Checking for termites?
34:39If it does happen, and when I do take over, the first thing I'm going to do is throw you
34:45out.
34:47No one is taking over.
34:49Not while I'm alive.
35:10Lord love her, she and J.R.
35:13Neither one of them lacks her ambition.
35:16Coffee I smell?
35:26Willie Joe?
35:27J.R.
35:28Ames?
35:29Hey.
35:30I don't mind telling you I don't think this is necessary.
35:32Well, maybe so, J.R., maybe so.
35:34But it was just what?
35:35Last month your daddy was talking over at the Calvin's Club about the South Fork.
35:38Yeah, I was there.
35:39He said no one, but no one is ever going to drill for oil on that ranch.
35:44Sent shivers up my spine.
35:46You got no cause.
35:47Well, we always vote together, the cartel, and the others are wondering why.
35:51You know, and I know, and Willie Joe here knows, it's because of those reserves of oil over there on
35:55Section 40 of the South Fork, huh?
35:56Yeah, daddy often says things so mama won't worry.
35:59You know how she feels about that ranch.
36:01Yeah, well, that's why we want to see the file.
36:03It'll help us sleep a whole lot easier, J.R.
36:05You know, you got to face it.
36:06Your daddy may not get out of that hospital.
36:08About your tongue.
36:08Well, I'm just talking about facing the facts.
36:10I don't mean no disrespect.
36:12Here, read that.
36:14Read it out loud so Willie Joe can hear it.
36:17This cartel cell amends paragraph 37.
36:21Upon my death, I hereby grant to my son, John Ewing, Jr., full drilling rights on all oil found in
36:28Section 40 of the South Fork Ranch as described in said paragraph.
36:33Satisfied?
36:35Sure am.
36:37Sorry to have to put you through all this trouble, J.R., but we had to make sure Jock didn't
36:42change nothing.
36:43Yeah, he certainly didn't forge his name on the bottom of this paper, huh?
36:48I don't think that's funny.
36:52Let's have a drink of daddy's health.
36:56Kelly, we've just finished the cardiac cath test.
36:59There's a blockage in one of Jock's coronary arteries.
37:02It's shutting off the blood supply to his heart.
37:05Does that mean surgery?
37:07Yes, it does.
37:08We'll do a bypass graft.
37:09It's like a detour around the blockage.
37:17He's not a young man.
37:19Always a tough man.
37:20He always has been.
37:22There's a good chance of leading a long and normal life.
37:27When long?
37:29This morning.
37:30We don't want to wait.
37:37What's going to happen?
37:38This is about any time now.
37:40Well, I didn't know it was going to happen so soon.
37:42You usually know about everything that's going on.
37:44I didn't know they did it so quick.
37:45Well, how about a little reverence for new life, Lucy?
37:48Come on in.
37:49Come on.
37:52Yeah, Mama.
37:53How is he?
37:57Okay, we'll be right in.
38:00He's scheduled for open-heart surgery this morning.
38:07I'll just sign a message for me.
38:09I make you do that.
38:11It's routine.
38:14Nobody wants to take any responsibility nowadays.
38:19If I kick off,
38:22I guess I'll have nobody to blame myself for it.
38:25Job.
38:30You know, there's something.
38:35I'm trying to tell you myself.
38:37Well, I don't know what.
38:39You can talk you now and stop for an hour.
38:42I love you.
38:46Oh.
38:47Oh.
38:56I'm sorry, this is healing.
38:57I'll have to get him right now.
39:07I thought you weren't here.
39:36I don't know what to do.
39:39I don't know.
39:43Did you reach J.R.?
39:44He's out of the office at a meeting, but I left Wurley.
39:46I don't believe that guy.
39:47He is just taking care of business, Bobby.
39:51Scared, but he won't admit it.
39:54Can we get you some breakfast, Mama?
39:56Nothing.
39:57Miss Ellie, J.R. will be here.
39:59Good.
40:00If you don't mind, I want to be by myself for a while.
40:04It's going to be ours.
40:08You sure you're going to be all right?
40:11Come on.
40:15Suhan, don't you want some coffee?
40:20Can I bring you some?
40:33Will the nurse on duty call the desk?
40:39Dr. Kingman, report to surgery.
40:43I want some coffee.
40:44Don't call the doctor.
40:47What?
41:23I'm going to assist Dr. Bycroft.
41:26Yeah.
41:28Wash your hands, honey.
41:33So one birthday I came home and there was a merry-go-round in the front yard.
41:39Not one of those dinky little things you find in front of a supermarket,
41:42but an honest-to-God merry-go-round with music and mirrors and hand-carbed horses.
41:49Your daddy sure did love you.
41:52Yeah.
41:52He'd give me anything if I asked for it.
41:55You know what gave me the most pleasure?
41:59Just spending the day with him.
42:02Go to the office or out in the oil fields.
42:06Just be with him.
42:08You two always had a special relationship.
42:11I guess so.
42:13Mama, she always, always liked Gary the best, so...
42:16That left J.R.
42:18Daddy helps explain him, but it doesn't help much.
42:24Pamela, I think J.R. is up to something.
42:26Why, he's always up to something?
42:27It's something he doesn't want anybody to find out about.
42:30Bobby, J.R. needs secrets.
42:32That's his power.
42:34That's what he's all about.
42:35He keeps me out of every meeting with Willie, Joe, and Jeb.
42:38Every meeting.
42:39And we've got a lot of business going with those boys.
42:41Those two men we saw at the hospital?
42:43Yeah.
42:44They wouldn't even go to their own mother's funeral
42:46unless they thought the undertaker was going to strike oil,
42:48and yet Daddy gets sick and they come right in.
42:51Sweetheart, you're under a lot of pressure.
42:53Look, give us some time.
42:56Let's go check on your daddy.
42:58Yeah, come on.
43:03I figure you boys stand and make 15% on the asphalt plant alone.
43:08J.R., the way you're going, the A-Rabs will come to us to borrow money.
43:13Smartest thing old jock ever did was putting you in charge.
43:16Well, shoot, you're going to be bigger than he ever was.
43:18Take care now.
43:19You too.
43:30We're going to fight again.
43:31Not unless you want to.
43:33No, I don't.
43:35Let's go and see if Dad's out of search.
43:37I want to know what's going on with Willie Joe and J.R.
43:40Well, I don't have the files on me.
43:41They're at the office.
43:42If you would care to drop in occasionally, you might be able to find out.
43:44What I want to know isn't in those files, J.R.
43:47Well, what is that supposed to mean?
43:49I mean, why do you keep me out of every single business meeting with them?
43:52Because I run Ewing Oil, and when you're ready, you can sit in on any meeting you want to.
43:56Well, I'm not ready for the three of you to be circling this hospital like a bunch of vultures.
44:01I hope you didn't mean what I just heard you say.
44:03If anything happens to Daddy, I'm going to be by your side 24 hours a day.
44:07You're hiding something, J.R., and I'm going to find out what it is.
44:12Come on, Grandma.
44:38All right, we're going off bump, Mike.
44:40Do you clamp?
44:43We're clamping, Mike.
44:49P-Tec.
44:51Now, it's a good impression.
44:53Going back on bump.
44:55Paddle.
45:08Normal, silence room.
45:27sollstick水.
45:30New police.
45:35Are you joking?
45:41What do you mean by an intentional effort?
45:41Evelyn's go mean by halves.
45:41I don't think so.
45:41It's just, it's fun.
45:48It's hard to worry about it.
45:50It's a good impression.
45:51appreciate it that. It's
45:53You think he's gonna be all right?
45:56Sure.
45:59I sure hope so.
46:27Jock, my friend, you truly have been born again.
46:39Oh, granddaddy!
46:40Well, you don't do that much anymore.
46:42Sometimes I think it pays to get sick.
46:45Sir Alan, you sent beautiful flowers.
46:47That's the landscape of the highway from Mary to Austin.
46:50Appreciate it.
46:50Hold it, Ellie.
46:53Bobby, I want to know something.
46:54Are you gonna quit the Ewing oil?
46:57Go in construction business?
46:58Well, Daddy, I'm working out at the ranch right now.
47:02It's a nice evasive answer.
47:04Well, it's the art.
47:05Looks like you're gonna have the office all to yourself.
47:11Let's go, Ellie.
47:13Let's go, Ellie.
47:15Let's go, Ellie.
47:19Let's go, Ellie.
47:22Let's go, Ellie.
47:25Let's go, Ellie.
47:30Let's go, Ellie.
47:32Let's go, Ellie.
47:33Let's go, Ellie.
47:34Let's go, Ellie.
47:35Let's go, Ellie.
47:37Let's go, Ellie.
47:38Let's go, Ellie.
