JR Ewing (Larry Hagman):
I’m sorry, Daddy. I let you down. I just flat gave up.
Back there at that swamp — you were gone. It was all over. Didn’t seem like there was anything worth going on for for me.
And I almost forgot—.
You left us something; you left us the company. You built Ewing Oil from the ground up. And whatever it took — you did it for Ewing Oil. And I’m gonna do the same. I’m gonna pass it on bigger and stronger to my son.
I’m back, Daddy.
And nobody’s gonna take Ewing Oil away from me, or my son, or his son.
“I swear to you: By God, I’m gonna make you proud’a me.
— Leonard Katzman, Dallas
