[QUOTE="stevew, post: 67491, member: 130"] Pamela walks up to the a young man, ten years or more her junior in the sidewalk outside the Capitol building in Austin. "What do you mean your sister's in-laws. That's my project you're attempting by to shut down and it has nothing to do with Texas. We're out in federal waters." "Pamela. How's my big sister." He attempts to hug her and she backs up. "Pissed. How is any of this any number of your business? Any of Texas's business?" "How's John Ross doing?" "Like you care." "A better question is do you care? I mean with him dead you're free to do what you want." Pamela slaps him. "This whole thing is nothing more than a political point for you, isn't it?" "Wow. Hit a sore spot for you. Listen, I don't owe you any explanation. You and John Ross took everything away from our father and left me nothing. We've never been friends. You grew up with your mother, I grew up with mine. Speaking of family, how is my Aunt Ann?" "Last I heard doing well. She and Bobby are in Italy. They've come to a dead end looking for Chris." "Too bad. Still makes it nice to have them gone." "I never had any problem with Ann. I never had any problem with you until you struck up this so called revenge for our father. I told you what happened, what he did." "And I told you I don't believe it. You're the one that let yourself be dragged in the middle by these Ewing's. Just like my mom says of Ann. Her sister let Harris Ryland walk all over her and now Bobby Ewing." "You don't know Ann if you think anyone walks all over her." "No but my mother, her twin, certainly knows her. Far better than you. And you profess John Ross doesn't walk over you but you don't even live in the same house while you work for his company. Now you're here in his behalf fighting with your brother on his behalf so he can use a technology that belongs to our cousin. And when he cheats on you again then what? You going to try and kill yourself again? Fear me not sister dear. Fear that husband of yours. One day he'll lock you up too." "Just you remember this war is between you and me." Pamela gets in the back of her limousine with Jesse watching. Her driver shuts the door and Pamela rolls down the window. "Did you mother, Abby, final settle with Harrison Van Buren's estate." "She's very comfortable. Thank you for asking." "I never like that man. Even when my mother was married to him." "One thing we can agree upon." Pamela puts her window up and the car drives away. A plaque next to a glass door reads, 'Anderson Van Buren' and way up on the top floor of the glass building Marvin across from a woman who looks exactly like Ann. She says, "It's not personal with the Ewing's, like it is for Jesse, it's just we want control of West Star and the Ewing Process in particular." "Just business." He slides two folders across the desk to her. "The McKay shared and the Wendell shares." "Of course once we take over we've got to call Jesse off. He's not gonna be too happy about that. We've got to figure a way to get him a U.S. Senate seat." "Next election. The Ewing's are cozy with Senator Brown. It'd be to our benefit to have our own Senator right next to her. Fighting the Ewing Process might get him to Washington. Then we'll need him to pull back. There's a few stings we can pull to put him in the right place." "Good. Let's make it happen." At Southfork Sue Ellen sits with Pamela by the pool. She takes the younger woman's hand and asks, "When are you and John Ross going to fix this?" "There's nothing to fix." "Oh come on. I saw you in that hospital. You were beside yourself." "He was an idiot for running into that fire." "He did what he felt he had to do." "Well he's got a son to think about." "And a wife." Pamela pulls away. "John Ross always wanted a big family. Kids to fill up Southfork." "Well then he should have married some else. That's not our arrangement." "And what is your arrangement." "I run the company and he takes care of Jay." "And you don't miss being around your son?" "Did you?" "Terribly. I knew every minute he was here he became more and JR's son and less and less mine." "Well patently bring more like his father isn't such a bad thing. John Ross is the great hero. Saved that man's life." "And you." "Why would he want to be like me?" "What do you mean?" "Look at me. I'm in a loveless marriage working eighty hours a week. For what?" "Then stop working." "And for what?" "Your family, Pamela." "Don't you think that's too late? Do you know John Ross and I haven't ever even been on a date?" "Then go out together. Work on it. Try before one day it's too late and you've lost him. I'm telling you that one day it can be too late." "I'm sure it already is. Maybe I should just let him go. Give him a divorce and let him find someone who will make him happy." "Why can't that be you?" Standing up Pamela says, "Because he doesn't love me. He's never loved me. Do you think JR ever loved you?" "Yes I do." Perplexed, Pamela sits back down. "How can you say that?" "A limousine showed up for me a month after he died. It took me to this little restaurant I'd never been before. No one was there but me. And a letter where JR should have been sitting. He left me with all the right words. Everything I ever wanted to hear. He told me every fear he had, all the anger he aimed at me because he was certain I didn't love him like he loved me. All the foolish times he thought he was in love with someone else. How bad he wanted me to hold him at the end. And how even if I didn't love him at all, that he loved me and always will." "Oh Sue Ellen." "We spent a lifetime hitting each other and only in death did he say what he needed to say and I . . . I stood over his grave and told him. He was the love of my life. And now . . ." Pamela takes Sue Ellen's hands and says, "I'm so sorry." "Tell him Pamela how you feel before it's too late. I promise you he feels the same way." "Sue Ellen . . ." "I know my son. He might not talk to me, and I can't blame him, but I know him. Please Pamela, before it's too late." [/QUOTE]
