Nathan Billings: You wanted to discuss my campaign?
J.R. Ewing: Yeah, yeah, but before we do that, I really wanna thank you for finding something for Rhonda Cummings to do.
Nathan Billings: [uncertainly] How do you know about that?
J.R. Ewing: Oh, she was so excited, she dropped by and told me all about it.
Nathan Billings: Uh...
J.R. Ewing: It's really hard to believe she's so young, ain't it?
Nathan Billings: Young? Yeah, but she's a college graduate.
J.R. Ewing: Oh, yes, she is, but she's just real smart. I don't think she's even twenty-one yet, but she seems to know what she's doing.
Nathan Billings: Yes, I'm sure she's gonna be an asset. Now, you wanted to talk politics.
J.R. Ewing: Uh-huh. But before we get into that, Rhonda dropped this by.
[video tape]
J.R. Ewing: She thought it would be important to your career.
Nathan Billings: What's that?
J.R. Ewing: Mm, just a little amateur production. Uh... I think it's... very relevant.
[places it into the player, switches on, and last night's passionate meeting between two mismatched participants appear]
J.R. Ewing: Well, look at that.
[Nathan in a clinch with Rhonda]
J.R. Ewing: That's you, isn't it? Well, looking good. Real good.
Nathan Billings: Blackmail?
J.R. Ewing: That's right.
Nathan Billings: You went to all that trouble just because I shut down one of your smaller fields?
J.R. Ewing: No, no, I've got big plans for you. I just wanted to guarantee your cooperation.
[devious grin]
