She’s got this
In “Dallas’s” fifth-season episode “Waterloo at Southfork,” J.R. (Larry Hagman) stands behind Miss Ellie (Barbara Bel Geddes), who has summoned Vaughn (Dennis Patrick), Jordan (Don Starr), Wade (Robert Ackerman), Andy (Paul Sorensen) and Cliff (Ken Kercheval) to J.R.’s office.
ELLIE: I’d like to thank you all for coming.
JORDAN: Well, it’s good to see you again Miss Ellie, but –
ELLIE: But you wonder why you were called here – at this time of night and by me. Is that right?
WADE: You do have us guessing, ma’am.
ELLIE: Well, you can stop guessing. I called you here to tell you that Ewing Oil is now prepared to pay back your loan … with interest.
VAUGHN: [Forced smile] Well … how nice.
ANDY: I knew Ewing Oil would be coming through.
ELLIE: Did you, Mr. Bradley? I suppose I should thank all of you gentlemen for the aid you gave my son.
JORDAN: Now Miss Ellie, you know it’s just business.
ELLIE: What I do know is that you are supposed to be Jock’s friend, Jordan. And yet the minute his back was turned, you took advantage of J.R.’s situation to charge an outrageous 25 percent interest to extend your loan.
VAUGHN: Now Miss Ellie, you don’t understand.
ELLIE: I understand perfectly. And what about you, Cliff? How long are you going to perpetuate this stupid Barnes-Ewing feud? Until we’re all dead and gone? Is it worth it to you?
CLIFF: Don’t expect me to apologize because J.R. got in over his head.
ELLIE: I don’t expect anything from you, Cliff. And I don’t apologize for what my son did. It’s a family matter. We may be wrong and we may be right, but we’re Ewings. We stick together – and that’s what makes us unbeatable.
