What a nice surprise to find an update to your wonderful fan fic 
You know, somehow I'd figured that a sweet moment between Bobby and Pam had to be followed by a scene in which JR is "molding the bullits" to attempt a break-up!
It's just like Dallas in the good ol' days! (And that's a compliment to you writers!)
It's amazing that in a house as big as Southfork that each room (more or less) doesn't have its own phone line. Of course, that wouldn't leave room for JR to eavesdrop on other people's phone calls! For once, Sue Ellen had a "pleasant" conversation with her husband without any yelling or cursing! Only exchanges of different opinions! I can't help but wonder how long it'll be, before Sue Ellen discovers that the U.S. movie premiere hasn't been cancelled after all? Oh, I do hope that we get to hear more about the "thrilling" movie in future episodes! It's bound to be filled with "good" stuff! And lots of details, please! :wink@
I'm looking forward to the next update!

Thank you so much for the feedback everyone.
Alexia, you're welcome. I am glad you enjoyed that short JR/SE scene.
Ms. Southworth, I am glad that you think we've found a good order for the scenes in our story.
It's quite interesting what you can do just by placing certain scenes and comments after each other. I mean take for instance on the new Dallas JR made a comment about "my enemies" and well later there was a scene with Clif Barnes. If i had been writing that I would have placed those scenes directly after each other as everyone who watched the original show would have known they were enemies and by placing the scenes after each other there it could have created a funny moment for the viewer who are familiar with the characters and their feelings about each other. But of course CC and her team didn't put those scenes after each other and an opportunity for something funny was lost.
Good point about the phone lines. I suppose JR should have had his private line. Somehow I just didn't think about it when I wrote it though...
Shan, I'm glad you thought the update was fantastic.
Okay so it's time for another update:
Meanwhile over in Bobby’s room, he was laying awake, propped up on one of his elbows, as he was watching the woman he loved sleep. Watching her face he memorized every line he’d never seen before, as his memories of past mornings together and the present merged. He was not sure how long he’d been laying there just watching her sleep as time seemed to stand still. Looking at her beautiful face that looked so innocent when she was asleep, Bobby could feel tears of happiness in his eyes, as for the first time since April died he was truly happy again. He could feel a warm feeling inside and a sense of gratitude. Suddenly he felt like his faith was restored. After doubting God’s existence for years he now knew that there must be a God after all, since how else would one explain Pam coming back to him with a miracle child like Rebecca?
Pam’s eyelids started to flutter, as she was finally about to wake up. Bobby smiled when he saw this before he gently leaned down and woke her up with a kiss. For a moment Pam wondered if she was still dreaming, as she could have sworn that Bobby was here with her. She’d had this dream for years, to wake up with the man she loved once more. Yet she never thought it would really happen. But hearing his voice made it real to her.
“Good morning,” Bobby greeted her and as she opened her eyes she found herself looking into his hazel eyes. He was really there with her. It wasn’t just another dream. It was real.
“Good morning,” Pam replied tenderly.
“I love you,” Bobby said hoarsely.
Pam smiled, “Oh Bobby I love you too,” Pam pulled him down to her for another kiss. But he wouldn’t let her deepen it before he pulled back. Looking deep into his eyes she could tell that he wanted to talk.
“You know it is funny how fast life can change. If you’d asked me last month I wouldn’t have thought this was possible.”
“Neither would I,” Pam nodded, since she knew what he meant.
“I thought that I could never love you like this ever again. When you left me you broke my heart, so I told myself that I was over you and I hid all my feelings for you…” Bobby paused for a moment before he went on emotionally. “But now I know that I was only fooling myself. Having you back has opened up my heart and brought all those feelings back. It’s almost like those lost years never existed.”
“I know and right now I feel so lucky that you still love me and that you took me back after all these years,” Pam looked down. “I didn’t realize how much I needed you until it was too late. By the time I realized what a mistake I made when I walked out on you and Christopher it just seemed impossible for me to come back to you…” A tear ran down Pam’s face and Bobby dried it off before he cupped her face and made her look at him.
“Pam you’re here now and that is all that matters. What’s past is past and what’s now is now,” Bobby said tenderly and Pam nodded in agreement.
“Thanks for being so understanding.”
Then Bobby’s smile vanished and he looked away sighing, “I just wish that Christopher could see it the way I do.”
Pam bit her lip, “You don’t think he’ll forgive me?”
“I don’t know,” Bobby sighed. “He took it very hard when you left him. You remember how we had just told him he was adopted right before the accident?”
“Yes,” Pam nodded. “What does that has to do with anything?”
“Well knowing that he was adopted made Christopher feel very insecure so he thought that you didn’t love him anymore because he was adopted…”
“But that’s not true,” Pam objected.
“I know but Christopher was so sure that’s the reason you left us. He was so hurt when you left that he even said something about that if you didn’t want us, we didn’t want you either!”
“Oh my God! What have I done?” Pam said in a regretful voice. “You must believe me Bobby. I never meant to hurt him. That he was adopted really had nothing to do with my leaving you.”
“I know that and you know that but I’m not sure Christopher does,” Bobby sighed. “Then there’s Rebecca…”
“What about Rebecca?”
“I think Christopher is having a hard time to accept her.”
“But she’s his sister!”
“Yes but she’s also our biological child. So that you came back with Rebecca just proved to him that you left him because he was adopted and you wanted to have a real child instead of him.”
“Oh no, I didn’t even think of that. I’d better talk to him,” Pam said with a heavy heart, as she hadn’t realized before just how deeply she’d hurt her son when she’d abandoned him.
“Yeah you’d better,” Bobby nodded.
“I’m just so worried he won’t hear me out. I mean if what you’re telling me is true, he must hate me for leaving,” Pam said in a sad voice.
Bobby touched Pam’s cheek, “No he doesn’t hate you. If anything he’s always wanted you to come back. Long after I had given up on you he still wished for you to return. He even asked me once what would happen if I got married to someone else and you’d come back.”
“He did?” Pam asked.
“Yeah so don’t worry honey. It’s all gonna be okay.”
“You really think so?”
“Yes I know so,” Bobby said convincingly. “Just give Christopher some time to readjust and I’m sure he’ll be thrilled to have his family back for good!”
“I really hope you’re right,” Pam replied.
“I know I am right,” Bobby smiled. Before he leaned forward and kissed Pam who eagerly responded to the kiss and pulled him closer to her. Their tongues came out to play with each other as they deepened the kiss and before long they were so immersed in their embrace that neither one of them heard the knock on the door. So when they suddenly heard Miss Ellie’s voice they felt like a couple of teenagers who’d been caught red-handed.
“Good morning Bobby, what do you…” Miss Ellie stopped on the spot, as she took in what she’d just walked in on. Seeing Bobby and Pam together she blushed. Bobby and Pam hurried to pull away from each other and hid under the covers, as they faced her.
“Good morning mama,” Bobby smiled sheepishly.
“Good morning Miss Ellie,” Pam said blushing, as she felt totally embarrassed.
Miss Ellie however quickly composed herself as she said, “Oh Good morning Pam, I’m so sorry that I just barged in like this. I didn’t realize you were in here,” Miss Ellie said apologetically. Then she smiled, as she realized that her youngest son and his estranged wife had gotten back together again. “Anyway it’s breakfast in 5 minutes. See you downstairs!” Miss Ellie hurried to leave the room. As soon as she’d left them alone Bobby and Pam burst out laughing.
“Oh my God, that was so embarrassing!” Pam exclaimed.
“I know I’m so sorry Pam I can’t believe we forgot to lock the door…”
“It’s alright. It’s not like we planned for this to happen and you couldn’t know that your mama was gonna burst in like that.”
“True,” Bobby nodded, before he got up and put on his robe. “Anyway we’d better hurry down for breakfast before the others figures out what’s going on.”
But Pam had another idea. “No go lock the door,” Pam suggested flirtingly. “Let’s be late for breakfast.”
“Are you sure?” Bobby raised an eyebrow. “I mean everyone but the kids will know.”
“I know so do you mind?”
“Nah, come to think of it I can’t wait to see JR’s facial expression when he figures out what we’re doing that he and Sue Ellen aren’t,” Bobby said jokingly, as he went to lock the door.
Pam laughed, “God forbid she’ll ever fall for your brother again.”
“I know those two are like poison for each other,” Bobby agreed, as he came back to her.
“I agree but why talk about them when we could focus on us?” Pam said flirtatiously, as she started to pull Bobby’s robe off him.
“I like the way you’re thinking,” he smiled, as she leaned up to kiss him. He responded to the kiss and took her into his arms. They kissed passionately as they lay down on the bed together. But then they pulled a part for a moment to catch their breath. As they do they could hear his stomach groan.
Pam laughed, “You hungry?”
“Yeah, I normally have breakfast at this time.”
“Well come here and I’ll make you forget all about breakfast,” Pam smiled, as she pulled him closer to her so that her legs were straddling him. Then she kissed him again and he willingly surrendered to her kisses and soon they were making sweet love in the morning. It felt so good and as their bodies united again they forgot all about breakfast. After all they had a lot of lost time to make up for. So breakfast really could wait…

I laughed out loud when Sue Ellen heard JR laughing on the other end of the phone! Despite all of their problems, I always thought that one of the reasons Sue Ellen stayed with him for so long was because all of the drama he created was at least exciting, in a way. I swear, sometimes I think she ENJOYED the fighting! She had no problem leaving the other guys (Dusty, Clint, Don, etc.) because they were so god dang boring. JR has a sense of humor and deviousness that can be very attractive. I do wish Sue Ellen would just dump Don, though. The fact that he is actually blaming John Ross for the state of their marriage and comparing him to JR is seriously wrong. JR needs to actually start working with Sue Ellen on the issues that caused their divorce. (I'll buy it if it's done the right way.) And family time with her and John Ross would help, too. Instead, he is wasting his time obsessing over Pam, and it won't win him any points with Sue Ellen, either. Because I'm pretty sure this ridiculous test (if he even manages to pull it off) is just going to say that Rebecca is Bobby and Pam's daughter. And if it bothers him this much, then he should start acting like an adult and move out.
I cannot believe how flippin' stupid Pam is in this story! Especially when I read lines like this: "Oh no, I didn't even think of that!" (Just when have you thought of anything in this story, Pam?) and: "I better go talk to him." (Well, duh!! You should have done that like, a million chapters ago when you first came back to Southfork!) Instead, she prolongs Christopher's agony by getting it on with Bobby again while everyone is up and having breakfast. Seriously? And what's with them relishing in the fact that they are getting action while JR and Sue Ellen aren't? While I do agree with them about it probably being a bad idea for JR and Sue Ellen to get back together (unless it is a realistic reconciliation) it is disturbing to see Bobby and Pam talking like horny teenagers who think sex is an achievement.

Great updates Karin! I love Bobby and Pam. They are so cute together in your story but I am not impressed with either one of them right now. Bobby and Pam are both living in a dream world right now when it comes to their son. I feel bad for Christopher the most in your story because he struggling with having to deal with his mom being back and his new sister Rebecca when it has just been him and his daddy for the last few years. Pam needs start dealing with her son soon and she also needs to have that long awaited talk with him before it is too late and they are unable to reconcile their issues.

Your last update was simply:
The smile on my face hasn't yet faded (and probably won't for quite some time). And that's a huge compliment to you, Karin and Jenny! :loveit:
10 out of 10 points in my book :10::10::10::10::10::10::10::10::10::10::10:
I loved the "morning after" scene in this episode! It was cute, well-written, and all of the words listed above.
I was fully able to see the entire scene played out before my very eyes!!!
I only wish (for the 17th time?) that Pam would get it and have the mother/son talk with Christopher! For me, it's out of character for Pam to procrastinate for that long ... ... it's been two weeks, for crying out loud!!! I don't understand how Pam has even managed to be around Christopher without needing to break down the "fences"!!! Please ... I'm dying to hear what she has to say ... and also how Christopher will react! 
OMG, I laughed out loud, when Miss Ellie walked in on Bobby and Pam, while things were just about to get really hot and heavy!!!
:lolo:
It was so funny! :lolo: I can totally put myself in not only Bobby and Pam's place, but also Miss Ellie's! And being the mother that she is, she handled it beautifully, I think!
Pam's suggestion to be "late for breakfast" was yet another memorable line from this episode! Their mutual decision to not give up on their little "love nest" just yet was great, IMO!
However, I'm not sure that I get the line, "... ... Everyone else but the kids will know ... ...". First of all, Miss Ellie is not one to "tell". Secondly, I do think that the majority of the family will be able to put two and two together, since both Bobby and Pam are both late for breakfast! And thirdly, why won't the kids be able to "figure out" what's going on? I mean, John Ross and Christopher are teenagers! And Rebecca, well ... ... let's just say that I have faith in her "abilities" to figure things out ... one way or the other!
I loved it when Bobby said: "... ... I can't wait to see JR's facial expression when he figures out what we're doing that he and Sue Ellen aren't ... ..."!!! It's so hilarious when lines from previous Dallas episodes (in this case, season 1, DVD) are "borrowed" and run again!
I hope that you'll do that some more!!!
I do hope that we get to "witness" the family breakfast scene shortly! I'm sure that we'll get a few good laughs out of that one!
I did "stumble" upon a few expressions in this update that I dread somehow will be tied into future episodes: (1) "... ... beautiful face that looked so innocent ... ..."; (2) "... ... miracle child like Rebecca ... ..."; and (3) "... ... to have his family back for good ... ...". Thus, I'll be holding my breath, hoping that I'm just reading too much into it!
PS. Don't worry about my query regarding the few phone lines at Southfork! I realize that it's all part of a "bigger" plan! Entertainment above all, right?
- AMAZING
- ROMANTIC
- FUNNY :rlol: :bag:
- SEXY

Great synopsis!
I fully agree! Well, let's see! ... ...
First of all, supposedly it has been a long time, since Bobby or Pam have had any action in the bedroom! That alone explains a lot, IMO! Secondly, just because they're in their early to mid-40s, doesn't mean that their sex drive has dropped to zero! And they're "doing it" in the privacy of Bobby's bedroom (not Miss Ellie's kitchen counter or Jock's antic office desk), so why should they have to "put a lid" on their emotions? It's nobody's business but their own! Thirdly, I think that it is special when a couple who used to be in love years ago are able to reconnect again on more levels than the one that immediately come to mind! (I've seen it happen in real life, and it was ... and still is ... a beautiful "achievement")! Let's hope that love really can conquer all ... ... in spite of all the obstacles that Karin and Jenny throw their way!
And BTW ... that goes for all our favorite couples!

I never thought that they were too old to fully enjoy a sexual relationship (although I could do without a JR and Sue Ellen love scene when I think of how old they are), I just find Pam and Bobby's smugness a little OOC for their age. It reminded me horribly of how a lot of girls in high school would brag about sex. I have also personally never understood how all of the residents at Southfork could all have sex under the same roof (Even Larry Hagman mentioned this in an interview, and it was hilarious!) when you consider that the place doesn't have very good sound insulation. I still remember an early episode where Pam and Bobby could hear JR and Sue Ellen arguing in their bedroom, all the way from their own bedroom! And JR and Jock hearing Pam and Bobby giggling from an upstairs window while they were outside. I personally, don't know how they all had no problem doing all of that stuff in the same house as their parents, family, and/or in-laws! And imagine if Miss Ellie had chosen to come into the room about five minutes later! Hopefully now, she'll know to knock first!Great synopsis!
Well, let's see! ... ...
Let's hope that love really can conquer all ... ... in spite of all the obstacles that Karin and Jenny throw their way!

It's a big world, and there is room for having different opinions on these issues!
I think it's great when people pursue (and still are able) to have an active sex life no matter what age they're at! Just imagine if you knew that your love life would completely shut down and be over and done with at 50 or 60? :eck: I completely agree that there's no need to share your most inner personal life with the world! But in a fan fic, other rules apply, IMO!
Also, I see no comparison between Bobby and Pam's behavior and those teens in high school or even college who brag about their (often non-existing) sex lives! It's just very different situations, IMO! I'm on the same page as you when it comes to how on earth the residents of Southfork were ever able to live under the same roof!!! And let's not even begin to get into how they were able to make love while the rest of the family could be listening in!!!
And yes, Miss Ellie and Rebecca both need a couple of lessons in how to knock ... ... and when NOT to enter unless you've been invited in! :mo: You know ... ... even if Pam hadn't been present, Miss Ellie could easily have "caught" Bobby in a "private" situation that no mother should have to witness!

Hi, Karin!
I think Bobby and Pam's reconciliation was too easy and fast for all the pain Bobby must have felt. I also think they have problems with Chris AND Rebecca. The girl acts like she's an only child!
The same goes for JR and Sue Ellen. I'd rather wait for the love scene and see them starting over. They need to fall in love for each other all over again so it can be true and not a superficial thing. In the beginning of the story JR seemed truly sorry. I do not expect him to change his personality, he can continue to screw everybody, but he has to be true to Sue Ellen, he has to really love her.

Sorry, but I beg to disagree with Bobby and Pam's reconciliation being too easy and fast! It was written in a trustworthy way, IMO! The "starting point" for Bobby and Pam was quite different than the one JR and Sue Ellen will have to face, simply because the foundation of each relationship is very different!Hi, Karin!

Also, I think that Bobby has realized that life is short ... and that foregiveness is the only way to move forward! Karin, it was my intention to ask, where JR has been hiding his mistresses in this fan fic so far, but it has slipped my mind several times!
JR wouldn't be JR, if he didn't have a "girl in every port", so to speak! Is JR really living like a "monk" these days, or have we yet to hear about his "double life"? Thank you everyone for the feedback on my story. I find it interesting to read all of your opinions and it's fascinating how people can have totally different interpretations of the same scene. So I've enjoyed reading your discussions.
Presea, I'm glad you enjoyed the JR/SE scene and him listening in on her conversation.
I agree with you that he should work on his own relationship with Sue Ellen rather than trying to ruin things for Bobby and Pam. But well I guess he wouldn't be JR if he didn't try that now, would he?
Also I agree with your opinion about JR and Don too. Don sure is dull and out of line to blame John Ross for his problems with Sue Ellen too...
I never thought of Bobby and Pam as acting like horny teenagers. That was not the point we were trying to get across. The JR and Sue Ellen line was like Ms. Southworth pointed out a way to pay homage to the original show where a similar piece of dialogue was used in the mini-series. Of course one could argue that Bobby and Pam were younger then. However the whole idea with their scene is to show that they are still as much in love as they were when they were first married, or actually even more in love now considering everything they have gone through to get there and yes it's been 8 years since they were last together so who can blame them if they wanna start the day with making love again. They do have a lot of lost time to make up for!
I agree with you about the house situation. I don't understand how they can be so comfortable making love while living under the same roof as his mom. But I guess it works for them. Somehow the show has always been like that. Also I don't think they were bragging about having sex, since for it to be bragging they would have to tell someone else about their sex life, the way teens do. They were just sharing a joke at JR's expense nothing more.
Sanda, I am glad that you love Bobby & Pam. I agree that Pam needs to sit down and talk with Christopher. I think she's putting it off since deep down she knows she has done him wrong and that there really is no excuse for the way she's behaved and therefore she is afraid to have that talk since she fears that her son won't forgive her. So she'd rather pretend that things are fine than face the problem and deal with the situation.
Pammy, I'm glad that you enjoyed the updates.
Ms. Southworth, thank you for all your kind words about the last update. I am glad you found it to be all that.
Yes the Miss Ellie bit was meant to be funny but it's also a plantation for later. Also she did knock on the door, but they were too wrapped up in each other to hear it. I guess she's not used to Bobby sharing his room with a woman anymore as there hasn't been one living at Southfork since April. So therefore she didn't expect what she walked in on. Then as for the line you didn't understand, what they meant was that everyone but the kids (Rebecca and Margaret) will know what they have been doing if they are late for breakfast.
Also I'm glad you picked up on the references to the original show in the dialogue.
Breakfast will come up soon but first there's another scene...
Bobby and Pam are in their mid-40's in this story btw. So it's not like they are really that old. Besides they have always enjoyed a physical relationship in the past so I don't see any reason for that to change just because they have gotten a couple of years older.
Also this is getting off topic but I remember reading in a magazine when I was a teenager that a survey had shown that people who were in their 60s or even 70s were in fact having a more active lovelife than younger people. I remember reading it because the idea of people that age doing it was completely grossing me out when I was a teen! :lolo:
Then as for JR and his mistresses, well maybe he has changed?
At the moment he has no need for a mistress, as he's busy chasing Sue Ellen...
Silvie, I am glad you found the update lovely. Yes I agree that Pam needs to talk to Christopher.
Crazy about SE and JR, you are right that Bobby and Pam did get back together very fast and that there are still problems they haven't solved. The situation with their kids being the most pressing one and yes Rebecca is used to being an only child and so is Christopher so they will both need some readjustment. I think JR and Sue Ellen still loves each other but she's in denial about her true feelings right now since she knows JR is not good for her.
Anyway update will follow in the next post and since you've all been so good with the feedback I'll give you a double treat tonight...

If the foundation wasn't strong enough to avoid Pamela's departure, I don't think it was that strong in the first place. But that is my opinion. And I'm not comparing Bobby & Pam with JR & Sue Ellen. I'm just saying that couples with BIG issues has to go a little bit slower. But that's in my opinion too.
I'm very curious to know Pamela's secret, because saint Pam surely has one!

You make a valid point Crazy about SE and JR. Sometimes it's better to go slowly than to rush into things, and yes Pam has a secret...
Anyway now onto the update:
Sue Ellen stopped by John Ross’ room on her way down to breakfast. She knocked on the door saying, “John Ross, are you awake?” When she didn’t get a reply she opened the door and entered the room. “John Ross?” Sue Ellen walked over towards her son, who was fast asleep. She then looked at the alarm clock on his bed that showed that it was only 7.30 in the morning. Knowing that her son was a sleepyhead she then decided to let him sleep a bit longer. Sue Ellen threw one last look on her sleeping son before she turned around, only to stand face to face with JR. His presence threw her but she did her best not to show it as she said, “JR, what are you doing here?”
“Same thing as you are darling,” JR smiled, as he approached her, “just checking in on our boy.”
“Well I guess we should let him sleep a bit longer. He’s not really a morning person.”
“If he does he can’t go with me to the office today either.”
“Well he is grounded,” Sue Ellen said.
“True but as his parents we can un-ground him any time we see fit.”
“I know but I still think we should let him sleep today.”
“I guess you are right,” JR said disappointed.
“You were really looking forward to take him with you to the office, weren’t you?” Sue Ellen saw right through him.
“Yeah but it can wait until another day…” JR said, “Like maybe tomorrow.”
“I think he would love that,” Sue Ellen said softly.
“So how about if I walk you down to breakfast,” JR suggested and Sue Ellen couldn’t help but smile at that, as JR sure was a charmer.
“Sure that’s where we’re both heading anyway so…” Sue Ellen agreed and they closed John Ross’ door behind them and started walking towards the breakfast table.
On their way down there JR asked, “So have you talked to Don about the movie yet?”
“Yes but you already knew that didn’t you?” Sue Ellen eyed him suspiciously as she remembered the chuckle she’d heard on the phone line earlier this morning.
“I don’t know what you’re talking about,” JR played innocent.
“Oh so you weren’t eavesdropping on my conversation earlier this morning?”
Her voice was accusing and realizing that she was on to him he knew he had to be more careful. But not wanting her to know that she was right he denied it in a harsh tone of voice, “Don’t be ridiculous Sue Ellen, why would I be interested in anything that husband of yours has to say?”
“I don’t know why don’t you tell me?”
“There’s nothing to tell.”
His words made Sue Ellen feel silly for bringing it up, “Okay, so you really don’t know what Don said about the movie then?”
“No,” JR shook his head.
“Well Don and I have come to an agreement, he will stop the movie before it hits the USA,” Sue Ellen said and JR smiled at that.
“Well that is great news.”
“Yeah he hasn’t talked to the distribution company just yet. But he promised to do it today and get back to me when he knew what they said.”
“Good,” JR said before he went on. “Although I guess that means you won’t divorce him?”
“I never intended to do so to start with. It was just an empty threat.”
“Didn’t sound like an empty threat to me,” JR mumbled.
“What did you say?”
“Oh I just said that I’m glad that it all worked out for you,” JR lied.
“Thanks JR. If I didn’t know you better I’d almost think you meant it,” Sue Ellen said sarcastically.
“Oh well I am glad that you had the movie stopped.”
“That I can believe, but I must say that it is a relief. Now that’s one less problem to worry about,” Sue Ellen said, as she felt like a weight had been lifted off her shoulders.

“That I can believe, but I must say that it is a relief. Now that’s one less problem to worry about,” Sue Ellen said, as she felt like a weight had been lifted off her shoulders.
Meanwhile in London, England was Don Lockwood talking on the phone in his office. He had finally reached the distributors of the movie.
“No it’s alright, I understand,” Don said. “And you’re right a deal is a deal. I am not sure that Mrs. Lockwood feels the same way about this though.”
“You think she will sue us?” The distributor asked.
“No, I don’t think she’ll sue you. But she’s not going to be happy when the movie opens up in the USA either,” Don said. “So for the sake of my marriage it would have been good if you could have stopped the USA release.”
“I’m sorry if it will cause you any personal problems Mr. Lockwood. But everything’s already been put in motion so that’s really quite impossible to do now.”
“But it could be done if you pulled some strings right?” Don enquired.
“No like I said it is impossible,” the CEO said and Don swallowed, as he just knew that Sue Ellen was not going to be thrilled with this news.
“Oh I see, I guess if it’s really impossible we just have to accept that.”
“Yeah and don’t forget about the publicity deal either. You promised to promote the movie and well even if Mrs. Lockwood is unable to do that we still expect you to fulfill your part of the promotion,” the CEO at the distribution company reminded Don.
“Alright I’ll do the publicity tour,” Don sighed. “I mean, if the movie really can’t be pulled it won’t hurt cashing in on it instead.”
“I’m glad that you see it our way,” the CEO said, then after a beat he added, “Also don’t forget what this movie has done for your career. I mean in this business a director is only as hot as his latest movie and take it from me Don. You are smoking hot right now.”
“I know it’s never been this easy to get backers for my film projects before,” Don smiled.
“Well good then I think we have an understanding.”
“Yes we do,” Don replied. “And if you’ll excuse me I’d better go home and pack now. It seems like I have a lot of travelling to do.”
“That you do, bye Don.”
“Bye,” Don said and the distributor boss hung up and Don sighed, since he just knew that this might spell the end of his already vulnerable marriage. Yet he knew that if worst came to worst it was better to be a divorced rich man than to be a poor married but miserable man. Besides maybe Sue Ellen wouldn’t divorce him after all. Maybe his marriage could still be salvaged, if he made some sacrifices. Like let’s say move to Texas. However at this point Don was not sure if he really was ready to give up everything that was home to him and relocate to Texas just to stop Sue Ellen from divorcing him.
“No it’s alright, I understand,” Don said. “And you’re right a deal is a deal. I am not sure that Mrs. Lockwood feels the same way about this though.”
“You think she will sue us?” The distributor asked.
