J.R. sets his glass down on the nearby bronze tray and leans near his lover.“Anita, how long has it been since we got back together?” J.R. asks distantly.“It’s been since 96, so that’s nine years,” Anita answers.“Well....” J.R. mutters.“Well what?” Anita asks in a puzzled tone.“Oh, nothing. I was just thinking that maybe we’re at that point,” J.R. leads.Anita clears her throat, as if knowing where J.R. is leading this conversation. “J.R., I think marriage is...”“What’s so wrong about it? You even told ole J.R. that you loved him many moons ago,” J.R. jokes.Anita begins to fidget slightly. “J.R., I do. I really do love you, but marriage just leaves a bad taste in my mouth,” she confesses.“Well, honey, I’ve been married before. It’s not as bad as it seems,” J.R. tries to assure.“Look, my parents divorced when I was just a little girl, and it really affected me. I promised myself that I would never get married in case that would happen to me!”“I’m certainly not hearing the Anita Smithfield that I know,” J.R. says wide-eyed.“I mean, why now? We’ve lived comfortably like this for years, and it never bothered you before, so why now?” Anita asks nervously.“Well, don’t get excited, honey. I just think. It’s more of a matter of business, I’m afraid-““I should’ve known! This whole thing was just going to be another one of your business exploits,” Anita moans.“Anita, I’m sorry it has to be this way, but if we want our little scheme as a married couple buying Ewing stock, we should make it legit, don’t you think? If you don’t go along, I could always turn in all the evidence that could get you disbarred and probably land you in prison.”Anita begins to lose her breath and takes a large sip of her chardonnay. “You son of a-““Don’t blame me, darling. You’re the one who wanted to get involved with this in the first place, and-““I know! You don’t have to tell me twice!” Anita shouts.J.R. rests his head against his arm and waits patiently for Anita to say something else.“All right. From now on our relationship is strictly professional. As soon as that money lands in my savings account, I’m annulling the marriage!”J.R. chuckles and takes a sip of his tomato juice. “Now, now.... Don’t you think we should consummate the marriage just to be on the safe side?”â€œAnd then we’ll have to get a divorce. I’ll go along with this and through the marriage, but I will no longer represent you. You’re going to have to take your business elsewhere!”J.R. gets out of the Jacuzzi and wraps a towel around his waist. “Don’t tell me you’re turning human on me now?”I’ll get to work on the marriage license in the morning. But, after everything - I mean, everything - is settled, I never want to hear from you or see you again!” A Hotel in Warsaw; Room 7 - Late EveningJennifer sits on her rather uncomfortable bed, arms folded, as Orlando and another figure walk in. Orlando smiles after seeing Jennifer in the quaint, uncomfortable room.“You’re a wise woman, Miss Jantzen,” Orlando comments with a wink.“I’m only doing my part until I can get the hell away from you,” Jennifer mutters coldly.Orlando ignores her last reply before opening his briefcase containing a cobalt-blue map. Lurching closer, Jennifer saw it to be blueprints of Southfork.“What... what is that?” Jennifer asks nervously.“I think you should recognize that place. You’ve been living there for seven years,” Orlando says wryly.“You told me the other Ewings wouldn’t get involved. You said your only target was J.R.,” Jennifer blurts.“I think I should introduce you to a change of plans,” Orlando replies.“You SOB! You used me all the way just to get you out of prison!”Almost instantly, Orland retrieves a silenced pistol from his briefcase and fires at Jennifer, who falls back into the bed.“Boss,” the henchman says, “what’re we going to do with the body?”Orlando finds himself surprised at his own actions; then, he proceeds to check her pulse which there is none.“There isn’t time to do anything. The flight leaves at midnight, and we have to get going,” Orlando addresses.“Isn’t the address of Southfork registered in the lobby?”“Hopefully young Miss Jantzen wasn’t foolish enough to do that,” Orlando answers. “Either way it won’t affect anything. Let’s get out of here.”Orlando and his henchman quickly place everything into their briefcase and scan the room for anything that might’ve fallen before leaving.Ewing Oil; J.R.’s Office - Early MorningJ.R. enters his office and smiles grandly at Anita, who shoots him a cold glare. He briefly looks at the pair of witnesses before sitting at the head of his desk.“All right. Well, we got our blood test done last night, and hopefully you did your part, Anita,” J.R. says.Anita throws the marriage license onto the desk and quickly signs her name. “Your turn,” she says with a cocky grin.J.R. momentarily looks at her emotionlessly before signing his own name. The witnesses who are secretaries of Anita at Smithfield & Bennett sign.“You can file those papers now, Mrs. Ewing,” J.R. says with a grin.“You can shove whatever you have to say, J.R. From this moment on, our contact ceases now. As I said before, I am no longer your representing attorney!”“And, what about consummating the marriage?”“Call me on a drunken night, and maybe you’ll be so lucky,” Anita wryly answers.“You say that now, but when you see those dollar signs flashing....”“Don’t flatter yourself. Save it for Sue Ellen or whatever woman comes your way,” Anita quips before storming out of the office.</blockquote>
