I always enjoy reading your comments and insights. <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" />Presea, I do think Sue Ellen learnt something from just observing and listening to JR for all those years. She knew him really well and like Miss Texas 1967 rightly points out there was a scene on the show where Sue Ellen says that she'd learnt from the master. <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite2" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=";)" />I do agree with you that it is unrealistic that someone can learn everything about how to run a business from just observing someone else though as there's a lot of things involved in running a business. But considering how Sue Ellen kept Mr. Valentine on her pay roll to start with I think he actually kept running the business end of things and Sue Ellen's influence to start with was limited to telling him to hire Mandy and put her in trampy lingerie so that it would sell! <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite8" alt=":D" title="Big Grin    :D" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":D" />So it wasn't really until later that she got her own office and got more involved with the day to day operations.Well Cliff tries to use Pam to get back on Afton's good side since she told him not to contact her for a good long while. So then he played the Pam card and she did agree to dinner with Pam and Bobby which is why Cliff is now desperate to get hold of his sister. I think Bobby and Pam were more concerned with Rebecca throwing her golf club than her cursing. :lolo:But I can understand why a child who is around cursing picks it up. I began cursing when I was about 7-8 years old and I picked up all the bad language from a Swedish soap opera my parents let me watch. So before I was 10 I cursed so badly that I remember a friend telling me to use nicer language! <img src="https://smileyshack.files.wordpress.com/2010/12/smileyslaughing_lol_hehe_100-102.gif?w=145&h=150"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":giggle:" title="Giggle    :giggle:" data-shortname=":giggle:" />Miss Texas 1967, exactly right about the scene with JR/SE. That lunch scene and the dialogue is in fact a reference back to that scene. So well spotted. <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" />I agree with you about Nick Pearce, Sue Ellen really shouldn't have mixed business with pleasure... Tommie, I'm glad that you enjoy the Bobby and Pam scenes. <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" />I think you speak nicer than I do though as I admit to cursing a lot in real life. Especially when my computer locks up or doesn't work properly then I really yell ugly words in frustration! <img src="https://smileyshack.files.wordpress.com/2010/12/smileyslaughing_lol_hehe_100-102.gif?w=145&h=150"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":giggle:" title="Giggle    :giggle:" data-shortname=":giggle:" />Silvie, thank you I'm glad you think the update was fantastic. <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" />Okay so it's time for tonight's update and finally some father-son time at the office:                       JR and John Ross were standing in front of Jock’s painting at the Ewing Oil office, “And this is of course the most important part of the office,” JR said, as he switched the light on so that Jock’s face was illuminated.“Granddaddy’s portrait,” John Ross smiled. “I remember it from when I was little.”“Yeah remember John Ross that without this man, there wouldn’t be a Ewing Oil,” JR said seriously. “We owe everything we’ve got to your grand-daddy.” “I won’t forget,” John Ross replied, and standing there looking at his grandpa’s portrait a faded memory sprung to life in his mind. “I used to sit in his lap, his voice was so strong when he told me stories,” John Ross reminisced.“So you do remember your grandpa?” JR wondered.“Only a little, but he was nice to me. I used to feel so safe when he was around.”“I’m glad,” JR smiled. “Anyway that was the tour of the office so what do you think?”“It’s impressive and I’m really looking forward to working with you here,” John Ross smiled.“Me too, it’s going to be great,” JR grinned, before he cast a glance at his watch. “Anyway I think we’d better get going now or we’re going to be late for dinner and you know your grandma doesn’t like that.”“You’re right dad, we’d better get going,” John Ross agreed. “By the way I’m so glad that you’re going out with mama on Friday,” John Ross smiled.“So am I,” JR said, as he walked over to his coat hanger and put on his cowboy hat. “So has your mama said anything about me that I should know?”“You want to know if she still has feelings for you?” John Ross asked and JR nodded. So John Ross went on, “Well she hasn’t said it. But I think she does, because she dodged the subject when I asked her.”“I see,” JR replied as they started walking towards the elevator. On the way there they passed by the secretaries empty desks as JR had already sent them home for the day.“She also told me this morning that she was thinking about divorcing Don.”“Well that sure is great news,” JR grinned.“I know dad, I so hope she follows through with it as I can’t stand the guy.”“He’s hasn’t treated you bad now, has he?”“Not really, it’s just that he’s always butting in, scaring off my girl-friends and he doesn’t make Mama happy either. They are just arguing all the time.”“Well thanks son that’s good to know,” JR grinned and as he placed his hand on John Ross’ shoulder he couldn’t help but noticing that his son had grown up a lot in the four years they’d been apart. He was almost as tall as JR now. A year or two and he might pass him by in height.“So you’re thinking of making a move on mama?” John Ross asked.  “When the time is right yes,” JR confided in John Ross. “But your mama’s a sensitive woman, so I can’t move too fast or I’ll scare her away.”“Like I scared away Melissa you mean?”“Yeah son, consider that a lesson how not to treat a lady.”“Well believe me dad when I say the lesson has been learned.”“Good, you’ll see John Ross. I am going to teach you everything I know, about the oil business and also about other things. So it makes my heart good to know that you’re learning already,” JR grinned, as he and John Ross entered the elevator and the doors closed.</blockquote>
