    Storyline

    Did you know

    • Trivia
      In the scene where Bobby (Patrick Duffy) encounters J.R. (Larry Hagman) at Southfork for the first time, Bobby offers J.R. a drink, but J.R. refuses, citing doctor's advice. This film was filmed and aired less than four months after Larry Hagman's liver transplant in July 1996. J.R. was drinking again on Dallas (2012).

    • Quotes
      • John Ross Ewing: [after JR appears screwed by Cliff because he sold Ewing Oil to Bobby and Sue Ellen] Dad, I don't understand, why are you smiling? You just lost Ewing Oil?
      • J.R. Ewing: Son, you don't understand. Ewing Oil is back in Ewing hands. Your Uncle Bobby is no longer going to sell Southfork, and is back in the oil business. I am the Chairman of the Board of Weststar. Your mother is back at Southfork, and you are going to remain in Dallas to learn the oil business under the best damn oil man there ever was.
      • John Ross Ewing: Dad, when you say it that way, it appears you'd planned everything to work out this way from the start.
      • J.R. Ewing: See son, you are learning already.
