John Ross Ewing:
[reading J.R.'s final letter to him aloud] John Ross, if you're reading this, it means I'm dead. And if I'm dead, that means Barnes is coming after you. You must crush him before he can win. I promised your Uncle Bobby that taking down Harris Ryland would be my masterpiece. I bet my last nickel Barnes'll join forces with Ryland to destroy us. Use what I've given you to take from them what they want to take from us. When you've done that, Bobby will know what to do.
[pauses]
John Ross Ewing:
And remember, you're my son, tip to tail.
Bum:
[to Bobby, handing him an envelope] He wanted you to have this.
John Ross Ewing:
[Bobby reads it silently] What's it say?
Christopher Ewing:
Ain't you gonna tell us?
John Ross Ewing:
[Bobby beckons to Bum] Uncle Bobby!
Christopher Ewing:
Dad!
Bobby Ewing:
[as he and Bum leave the den] This is between my brother and me... for now.
Bobby Ewing:
[to Bum] You pay off whoever you have to pay off... so that everybody still thinks J.R. was killed by a mugger. And when the time comes, we'll take care of this ourselves... as a family.
