Pillow talk
In “Power Play,” a third-season “Dallas” episode, Jock and Miss Ellie (Jim Davis, Barbara Bel Geddes) are in bed as he rubs her back.
JOCK: You know, everything’s under control at the office now that Bobby’s there. Why don’t we go down to Ruidoso tomorrow and watch Punk Anderson work out his 2-year-olds? We just might spend the night at the lodge, the one with the river.
ELLIE: I don’t know, Jock.
JOCK: I can’t ever remember missing one of his annual barbecues. We’ve had some wonderful times, haven’t we, Ellie?
ELLIE: Yes, we have.
JOCK: Then you’ll go?
ELLIE: [Turns to face him] Jock, I, I don’t know if I’m up to a big social event yet.
JOCK: Doctor says you’re doing just fine.
ELLIE: There’ll be too many people. Too many questions. Probably well-meaning questions or maybe just inquiring glances. It’s gonna take me time, Jock. Please understand.
JOCK: Sure. [He kisses her hand and she turns away from him.] Good night.
I recently re-watched this episode, I think this is the only time we ever see them actually in bed together. Jim Davis has such a tough-guy look yet in his alone scenes with BBG, he projects such a sweetness that you really believe these two people are very much in love. Such chemistry!
I think you’re right, misslea5. Jock and Ellie didn’t have a lot of bedroom scenes. I also agree: Their chemistry was amazing. I love them both.
