Or you mean the fact that I was two months in a coma?</p><p>Val: Well, I mean both...Please, don´t make it harder. Your dad and I were shocked to know that you legally established that Peter´s custody had to go to Bob and Pam if something happened to you.</p><p>Lucy: So why not?

I think today is not my birthday.</p><p>Will: No, actually it´s our 9th anniversary: 9 months ago from today you bumped into my life...</p><p>Bobby (surprised): Really? 9 months since I crashed into your car?</p><p>Will: Yes, if you´d rather say it that way...</p><p>Bobby: Don´t know what to say, I got nothing for you...Or maybe yes (smiling)...</p><p>Will: Open it. (Bobby tears the wrap apart and finds a jewelry box and, after looking at Will, he carefully opens it. There is a note over the content. He takes the note and reads it: "We´ve only just begun. From Will to Bobby with love." Then he puts the note apart and finds the real gift: a gold chain with that day´s date branded behind a platinum plate, with the symbol of his astrologic sign).</p><p>Bobby: Wow! Fu...! Geesh! (Bobby kisses Will passionately) I love it...Now let me to thank you for it...</p><p>Will: Hey, take it easy boy (Will watches the naked young man) Within one month, you´ll be 18 years old. Is there anything...you´d like to have specially?</p><p>Bobby (joking): That we didn´t make in the last two hours? No. All´s fine. I feel great with you. My father didn´t make me attend the college and I like my job at Southfork Hotel, for a first job... What else can you ask for?</p><p>Will (serious): You´re a remarkable person, Bobby. I wish you´ll never change...I must tell you something.</p><p>Bobby (arching his eyebrows): I´m listening.</p><p>Will: I´ve been offered the president charge at the Managing Board of the bank´s new subsidiary, in San Francisco...and I´ve accepted.

Good night...(She turns around and walks towards the stairs) Wait a minute...</p><p>Pam (turning to him, with a distant look): Yeah.</p><p>Bob: Don´t you really wanna have a drink before going to bed? You didn´t tell me about Cliff and you. How´s Afton feeling? (Pam sits down by his side while Bob lays the paper over the table)</p><p>Pam: I´ve got something in my mind for a little while, Bobby. How can you be there, so quiet, when the papers are still talking about the Ewing Oil´s bankruptcy? The company your nephews have lost, casually named just like the one you and your brother J.R. ran in the past? How can you keep on treating your cousin Barbara like a pariah...?</p><p>Bob: Pam, I think I don´t understand you. I´ve given to James and John Ross all the help I could, but it sadly wasn´t enough. You and I are living in the house your mother left you. My stepfather turned to a clause of a contract that I made by myself, becoming him the only owner of the Southfork Ranch and all its land properties. In fact, he did it a little before dying in Switzerland, although his lawyer didn´t mention it until his will´s reading. And now we got his widow staying at our former house...Ray is the only one who could keep his lands. And about Barbara, she should have remembered that we are her family, and that she should follow certain rules to treat us, among them not to accuse of murder to any of us the Ewings, as she did with Madeleine...</p><p>Pam: I see you have giving a thought to it, since you summed it up quite well, but you forgot one little thing: your son is missing for seven months and you are pretending not to care about it at all...</p><p>Bob (standing up): How are you capable to say that, Pam? I was the one who paid a detective agency to investigate his disappearance exclusively. He seems to have been swallowed by the earth, but let me tell ye something: that is impossible. He´s out there somewhere, living his own life, and has a reason to avoid touch with us. Whenever he wants to, he will come back.</p><p>Pam (standing up, too): Whenever he wants to, he will come back? What kind of father are you, in heaven´s name, Bobby?</p><p>Bob: And what happened to you when in Italy? Because since you came back, you sound like a diferent person, you wanna argue about the damnest little thing...</p><p>Pam (slapping his face): Don´t ever say that again to me! (Bob leaves the house in anger and afterwards, he drives his car off. Pam´s mind goes back in time six months ago...)</p><p></p><p>SC. 20: INT. - FLASHBACK: HOTEL DUOMO, MILAN, ITALY</p><p></p><p>(Pam walks down the corridor of one of the floors of the hotel, with two of her colleagues for the Woman Today magazine, Mike and Natasha)</p><p>Pam: I think I agree with you boys. The last show had a lot to be desired, they don´t know what to do to call the attention... (They stop by Mike´s door and he says good-night to them)</p><p>Natasha: I feel Sue Ellen is gonna be quite satisfied with the special report.</p><p>Pam: She will, let me tell you. Have a nice rest, tomorrow will be another hard day.</p><p>Natasha: Please don´t remind me...Good-night, Pam.(The young woman walks into her room. Pam walks on by and turns around the corner, bumping into another guest of the hotel, who inadvertently pushes her handbad away, and she pushes his glasses off too. ..He is a white-haired man, about 50 years old, impeccably dressed, who puts on his knees to help her)</p><p>Pam: Oh, my God...I hope not to have smashed your glasses, I´m so sorry..."Scusi..." (Pam looks up to him and recognizes the man in front of her, although she hadn´t seen him for the last 22 years) Alex?</p><p>Alex: Pam...Pamela Ewing?</p><p>Pam: Alex Ward...I just can´t believe it...

Lucy: I have a little headache, mother... Val: Did your therapy session go well? Lucy: Yes...we´re going ahead. Is this what you wanted to know? Val: Not really. You´ll see, when that happened... Lucy: You mean, when the 9/11 attacks happened and one of the buildings fell into pieces while I was on the first floor? Or you mean the fact that I was two months in a coma? Val: Well, I mean both...Please, don´t make it harder. Your dad and I were shocked to know that you legally established that Peter´s custody had to go to Bob and Pam if something happened to you. Lucy: So why not? You could raise two children with the help of three different husbands and Pam´s only son is adopted, not to say that he´s been missing for seven months now... Val (teary-eyed): Lucy, just want you to know that you´ll always can count on us, your dad, and your brothers Bobby and Betsy...(Lucy walks towards her mother and holds her tightly) Lucy (sincerely though still coldly): I know mummy. I know... (Val gets into the house and Lucy takes his cell phone and dials a number from her agenda) Lucy: Ah, hi. Yeah, I´d like to get some person´s number...I know that he was working for the Government, but we lost touch a long ago...Yes, I´ll wait...(speaking to herself) Maybe you´re right Mama. Maybe bext time Peter should go with his real family: his daddy. SC. 18: INT. -WILLARD MONAHAN´S APARTAMENT IN DALLAS, TEXAS (Wearing only a boxer, Will gets into his bed-room and sits down on his bed, where Bobby is resting, covered with the sheets up to his pubis) Will: Happy birthday! (as he gives him a package wrapped as a gift). Bobby (astonished): But why? I think today is not my birthday. Will: No, actually it´s our 9th anniversary: 9 months ago from today you bumped into my life... Bobby (surprised): Really? 9 months since I crashed into your car? Will: Yes, if you´d rather say it that way... Bobby: Don´t know what to say, I got nothing for you...Or maybe yes (smiling)... Will: Open it. (Bobby tears the wrap apart and finds a jewelry box and, after looking at Will, he carefully opens it. There is a note over the content. He takes the note and reads it: "We´ve only just begun. From Will to Bobby with love." Then he puts the note apart and finds the real gift: a gold chain with that day´s date branded behind a platinum plate, with the symbol of his astrologic sign). Bobby: Wow! Fu...! Geesh! (Bobby kisses Will passionately) I love it...Now let me to thank you for it... Will: Hey, take it easy boy (Will watches the naked young man) Within one month, you´ll be 18 years old. Is there anything...you´d like to have specially? Bobby (joking): That we didn´t make in the last two hours? No. All´s fine. I feel great with you. My father didn´t make me attend the college and I like my job at Southfork Hotel, for a first job... What else can you ask for? Will (serious): You´re a remarkable person, Bobby. I wish you´ll never change...I must tell you something. Bobby (arching his eyebrows): I´m listening. Will: I´ve been offered the president charge at the Managing Board of the bank´s new subsidiary, in San Francisco...and I´ve accepted. I´m leaving tomorrow (Bobby is open-mouthed, without even blinking). SC. 19: INT. - LIVING-ROOM OF THE WENTWORTH MANOR (Pam gets into the room, where Bob is reading the newspaper. Her look turns to Christopher´s portrait, over the mantelpiece) Pam: I´m going to bed, Bobby. Bob: So soon? Good night...(She turns around and walks towards the stairs) Wait a minute... Pam (turning to him, with a distant look): Yeah. Bob: Don´t you really wanna have a drink before going to bed? You didn´t tell me about Cliff and you. How´s Afton feeling? (Pam sits down by his side while Bob lays the paper over the table) Pam: I´ve got something in my mind for a little while, Bobby. How can you be there, so quiet, when the papers are still talking about the Ewing Oil´s bankruptcy? The company your nephews have lost, casually named just like the one you and your brother J.R. ran in the past? How can you keep on treating your cousin Barbara like a pariah...? Bob: Pam, I think I don´t understand you. I´ve given to James and John Ross all the help I could, but it sadly wasn´t enough. You and I are living in the house your mother left you. My stepfather turned to a clause of a contract that I made by myself, becoming him the only owner of the Southfork Ranch and all its land properties. In fact, he did it a little before dying in Switzerland, although his lawyer didn´t mention it until his will´s reading. And now we got his widow staying at our former house...Ray is the only one who could keep his lands. And about Barbara, she should have remembered that we are her family, and that she should follow certain rules to treat us, among them not to accuse of murder to any of us the Ewings, as she did with Madeleine... Pam: I see you have giving a thought to it, since you summed it up quite well, but you forgot one little thing: your son is missing for seven months and you are pretending not to care about it at all... Bob (standing up): How are you capable to say that, Pam? I was the one who paid a detective agency to investigate his disappearance exclusively. He seems to have been swallowed by the earth, but let me tell ye something: that is impossible. He´s out there somewhere, living his own life, and has a reason to avoid touch with us. Whenever he wants to, he will come back. Pam (standing up, too): Whenever he wants to, he will come back? What kind of father are you, in heaven´s name, Bobby? Bob: And what happened to you when in Italy? Because since you came back, you sound like a diferent person, you wanna argue about the damnest little thing... Pam (slapping his face): Don´t ever say that again to me! (Bob leaves the house in anger and afterwards, he drives his car off. Pam´s mind goes back in time six months ago...) SC. 20: INT. - FLASHBACK: HOTEL DUOMO, MILAN, ITALY (Pam walks down the corridor of one of the floors of the hotel, with two of her colleagues for the Woman Today magazine, Mike and Natasha) Pam: I think I agree with you boys. The last show had a lot to be desired, they don´t know what to do to call the attention... (They stop by Mike´s door and he says good-night to them) Natasha: I feel Sue Ellen is gonna be quite satisfied with the special report. Pam: She will, let me tell you. Have a nice rest, tomorrow will be another hard day. Natasha: Please don´t remind me...Good-night, Pam.(The young woman walks into her room. Pam walks on by and turns around the corner, bumping into another guest of the hotel, who inadvertently pushes her handbad away, and she pushes his glasses off too. ..He is a white-haired man, about 50 years old, impeccably dressed, who puts on his knees to help her) Pam: Oh, my God...I hope not to have smashed your glasses, I´m so sorry..."Scusi..." (Pam looks up to him and recognizes the man in front of her, although she hadn´t seen him for the last 22 years) Alex? Alex: Pam...Pamela Ewing? Pam: Alex Ward...I just can´t believe it... (Pam´s memory comes back to now. She starts to cry...) SC. 21: EXT. - ROOFTOP OF THE EWING BUILDING, DALLAS, TEXAS - 8.48 A.M. THE NEXT DAY (We see John Ross´s profile and the camera zooms away. - The song "I Fall Apart" by Cameron Diaz begins to play- He is standing on the edge of the rooftop of the old Ewing Building. The camera surrounds him and turns around, and then over him, until we see the general view of the streets of Dallas. John Ross closes his eyes and puts his arms crossed, facing the cold morning wind - The song continues...Fade to white) SC. 22: INT. - UNKNOWN PLACE - 9 A.M. (Close-up of Christopher´s face, closed-eyed. We hear a female voice whispering: "Darling, wake up...". Christopher opens his eyes and smiles widely) Christopher: Good morning... (Fade out and the end credits roll on while "I Fall Apart" is re-played.)
