I'll tell you, though, it's like the man says we gotta quit seeing each other this way, Donna.
I ain't complaining.
I want more of you than just nights in a bar or a motel, you know.
What if that's all there is?
Well, that just can't be now.
Why don't we go away someplace?
Take a week.
Really get to know each other, have some fun.
It's getting kind of serious for me.
Before we go a whole lot further I think we better figure out where we wanna end up.
Say, Donna.
- How you doing?
- J.R., how are you doing?
Oh, well, just fine, just fine.
I thought I'd sneak out and do a little buying.
You looking for something for Sam?
No, I was just doing some window-shopping.
- Oh, yeah?
- Well, it was nice seeing you.
Bye.
Say, Donna?
Donna, you know, I was real surprised when Sam introduced you as his wife.
Yeah, most people are, but they get over it.
I'm not against it.
It's the best thing that ever happened to him to have a pretty young lady like you for a wife.
- Well, he seems happy.
- Well, there's a lot of advantages for him.
I can see where there would be advantages for you too.
I bet you can.
Of course, I suppose there would be drawbacks.
Namely, his age.
I hate to tell you, but that's not original.
You're not the first person to point out that a young, healthy woman like myself couldn't have a happy sex life with Sam.
No, I don't suppose it's original, but I do suppose it's true.
Well, and I guess you think that you are just the man to fill my lonely hours.
Oh, me?
No, no, no.
I'm a married man.
I believe in the sanctity of marriage.
Well, you're gonna have to tell me what all this is leading to.
A funny thing happened to me last night on the way home.
I was on my way to the ranch, it was late and old Ray Krebbs' pickup truck just came barreling past me doing well over the speed limit.
So I thought something might be wrong, see.
So I did a U-turn, and I followed him.
And you can imagine how surprised I was when all he did was turn in to the Starlight Motel.
I bet you were so surprised, you hung around long enough to find out who he was meeting.
Well, I always was a curious one.
Ray has had some unfortunate romantic experiences in his past and I just wouldn't want that old boy to get hurt again.
So?
So I can't understand him fooling around with a married woman.
You can cut out all this nonsense about caring whether Ray gets hurt or not.
I mean, what you really want is something in exchange for not telling Sam, right?
Who me, tell Sam?
Oh, no, never, never.
I don't think he'd take kindly to anybody who told him his wife was fooling around.
I don't think he'd take kindly to the Ewings when he found out it was their foreman that she was fooling around with.
Well, you're gonna have to spell it out for me, J.R.
You're just way over my head.
Sam is on the fence between the Ewings and the OLM and I want you to tell him that taking the power from the OLM would be a fine idea.
And in return?
Ray will never find out from me who you are.
If he got a broken heart again, he might go off the deep end.
I don't know what he'd do to you or to Sam.
- Oh, do you think I care if you tell Ray?
- I read people pretty well.
Yes, I think you care quite a lot.
As a matter of fact, I'm banking on it.
There's the little store I was looking for.
I think I'll go and buy my wife some trinkets.
You have a nice day.
Well, I don't know.
Well, come on, it's gonna be a great party.
Tommy said guys are coming over from Plano.
I thought we were just gonna fool around here for a while.
- Oh, why stay here when there's a party?
- Come on.
These really pepped you up the other day, didn't they?
- Yeah, it did make me feel pretty good.
- Well, one more isn't gonna hurt you any.
Come on, how's it gonna be a party without the four of us?
All right, but those guys from Plano better be cute.
Oh, they are.
Yeah.
Why?
I was just getting ready.
Where?
Is something wrong?
All right.
See you there.
- Evening, Daddy.
- J.R.
- What you got there?
- Oh, just some breeding reports.
It looks like Ray's gonna start stocking that land of his.
Is that a fact?
Well, good for him.
I'll look him up and see if I can give a hand.
Well, I'm sure he'd appreciate that.
Oh, have you heard anything from Sam Culver yet?
No, sir, not today, but I think I'll be hearing from him shortly.
