[QUOTE="stevew, post: 56347, member: 130"] The board of Trident begins to gather and Pamela says to Elena, "You don't really think getting into this company gets at John Ross do you?" "He loves his businesses." "No he doesn't. He loves his family. And I'll admit someplace inside him he still loves you." "Don't worry I don't want him back." Pamela laughs. "Oh I'm not worried about that. It's not his love for me that keeps him faithful. It's my love for him. He won't risk that for you or anyone else." "I wouldn't be so sure with John Ross about something like that." Pamela chuckles. "I'm as certain of it as I am that you regret what you did to him, and that if I died tomorrow, it'd make you very happy." "I don't want him back." "You're either lying to me or yourself. Maybe both. You did a good job all those years pretending to love Chris. I'd watch his wife if I were you." "I'm not worried about her." "Didn't say you should be. I said watch her. But you and Chris. You two deserve each other." "What's that mean?" "Bitter, disillusioned and foolish." "Whatever." "You know you hurt him, right?" "Who?" "John Ross. I mean you're just one in a long list of people who hurt him, but you did hurt him." "That doesn't mean he should keep my son from me." "No it doesn't. And if Jack wanted to see you, he'd support him. Your problem isn't me or John Ross. It's Jack. We only told him of your existence and that you associated with some bad people and were in the wrong place at the wrong time. Your family made you out to be evil. Not the Ewings." "I know. I spoke to Mateo." "So what's the point in investing in Trident? You're only gonna piss off Chris." "Just business. Everything John Ross touches turns to gold, doesn't it?" "Listen, you give me time and I'll get Jack to speak to you. He is curious. But right now he thinks he's being loyal to me." "I guess I can see that." "Jack won't let you hurt me. And I won't let you hurt him." "I just want to know him. I want him to know I love him." "You're not capable of love," Chris says approaching the two of them. "You're a drug pushing, addle-brained tramp." "Christopher!" Pamela admonishes. "It's true. They going through her boy Nick's finances. Billions in drug laundered money. How much drug money you get in your hands Elena?" "This isn't going to get us anywhere." Pamela says. Chris adds, "Oh and let's not deny tramp. I hear you and old Weston, well they say he died in the sheets." Elena says, "But addle-brained? That's a new one. I've never been accused of being addle brained." Elena walks to her place at the table. The ranch is alive with a South Fork barbecue. Everyone's eating, drinking, chatting. Lucy says to Elena who's walked up from the driveway, "Watch your self."

Pamela holds John Ross's hand as they walk away from the family gathering into the yard. He says, "You're shaking." "I've got something to tell you?" "What is it?" "They found a mass." "What? Jack? Does he know?" "Not Jack. He's fine. Doctors couldn't be more happy . . . Me. My breast." John Ross holders her tight. [/QUOTE]
