DALLAS | "Real Power Is Something You Take!"

[@stevesparta4995]

I think Jock was secretly proud of Bobby for standing up to him.

[@skyblueerik]

One of the greatest scenes in TV history.

[@rknow78229]

Yes, the best scene.

[@rayvictory]

I AGREE 100%

[@Danny-fs1hk]

Absolutely!

[@willferrellnumberone201]

Jock Ewing’s delivery is spot on

[@christopherkraft1327]

Excellent scene!!! Jock is right!! Rest In Peace Jim Davis & Larry Hangman!! 🙏

[@anb7408]

Notice how JR was just sitting back enjoying it with the usual evil little smirk on his face.

[@MountainMan.]

Yep. I'd love to know what he's privately thinking in that moment.

[@kucylja]

I know this scene by heart, but i watch it every time it crosses my path. Iconic!

[@tomtagliente1464]

Reading through these comments and knowing how Jim loved being on DALLAS, I bet that he would be so honored that we like him and remember him so much. That's the power he gave DALLAS fans.

[@MsJourneyfan]

Mr Peppermint and Punk felt for Bobby, while ol' JR sits there and gloats. Scenes like this are why Jim Davis was so beloved as Jock. No one else could have ever played Jock after Davis passed away. No one.

[@MrCraigblaze]

That is Jock's own motto !! 🤣🤣

[@ndirangugichuki6260]

Real Power Is Something You Take !! Damn, that's deep. Also a great scene.

[@robertpiarulli6230]

Boy, that was some scene. Between jock and Bobby. Wow

[@wtbysinger]

Claassic scene

[@delavalmilker]

When Jim Davis passed away suddenly, a lot of the spark went out of "Dallas". It was never quite the same again. They brought in Howard Keel, and he's a good enough actor. But making him Ellie's second husband just never seemed to quite "cut it".

[@soralaraison]

I like innocent eyes from JR after jock said he'll never talk business with you or anyone else.

[@richardcoronado4081]

This looked like a modern version of a wild west showdown, and it's in Texas. 🤠

[@kennethwilliams7697]

One of my absolute favorite scenes! Jock Ewing was a baaaaad Man! Bobby was a Ewing through and through, he just wasn't as coniving as JR, and he wasn't as brash as Jock. Dallas was awesome!

[@terencelee4849]

Jock was standing on business

[@richardedmiston3756]

Beautiful watch Jock is wearing.

[@barjumbo1969]

'REAL power's something you take.' Ill remember that, always!

[@AnthonyCoker-ni4nf]

He do what ever he dame please😂😂😂

[@kirbygene]

Bobby is clearly Jock's favorite son. Even though he chews him out for calling him out in front of his buddies, you can see how it bothers him immediately after and into the next day. He would never feel that way if it had happened with JR or Gary. But then, JR and Gary would never dare to face down Jock and not back away. Such a powerful scene about father/son relationships.

[@legendbucwild]

Very memorable, iconic scene, I'd be very surprised if Patrick Duffy didn't pee himself while having to go face to face with Jim Davis giving him television's most intense crazy-eye to this day........ but it's not clear what Jock's message is here other than, "Screw me out of the company and it's all your's son!"

[@DALLAS70]

Jim started swearing during one of the takes and cracked everyone up!

[@legendbucwild]

@@DALLAS70 Haha, I bet Jim was a blast backstage those first few years. Watching him in some of those outtakes and hearing stories about him makes me think he should've done more comedies.

[@janvollgod7221]

most epic quote

[@cynthiasmith4130]

Jock is the man!!!!!

[@AarHan3]

2:11-Boy... _those_ 6 words aren't gonna come back to bite Jock in the butt anytime soon, are they?! 😮

[@claudiocorleone7856]

What terrific acting!

[@legendbucwild]

Also, after that showdown with Bobby and Jock sits back at the table, the rest of that little hangout had to be awkward as hell....... just Jock sitting there pissed off, the other two looking like they just witnessed a train-wreck and JR sitting there looking like Publishers Clearing House just showed up at his door. Here's the unseen dialogue from the rest of that meeting.... (long silence) JR: "So how bout them Dallas Cowboys?!?" Jock: "Shut up JR." JR: "Yes daddy....." (more long silence)

[@wolfgangj.hofmann7630]

... 😂😂👍 🤟

[@jamesdursocaplanides1577]

Its not the best scene from Dallas, but its 100% the most important scene from Dallas.

[@johnpadgitt2198]

Most profound statement ever made on television or big screen.....lessons taught to us by the most brutal dictators ever to walk the earth.....Stalin, Hitler, Pol Pot, Gengis Khan, Mao Tse-Tung, and even our own Abraham Lincoln.....REAL POWER IS SOMETHING YOU TAKE.

[@Polostar79]

So I guess no one’s going to mention how Jock was dripping in gold and diamonds.

[@loisjeanwilliams]

Jock is absolutely right!

[@adamk4716]

Incredible

[@scottmoore1614]

If they had ever cast General Thunderbolt Ross in the Incredible Hulk television show, Jim Davis would have been perfect!

[@samuelfitzhugh3630]

Jock's eyes never left Bobby's

[@DestinyFilmWorks]

I think this scene shows just how entitled Bobby thought he was...

[@timriggins70]

And later when Bobby takes that power Jock gets butthurt.

[@timmeeyh6523]

this scene turned out to be one of those odd things i remember from my childhood

[@KK96303]

Jock had eyes like steel ball bearings like John Wayne.

[@lamonttindley8814]

Funny thing is that John Wayne was the original choice to play Jock. I think there was a scheduling conflict with John Wayne

[@santiagocanojr.4663]

"That money belongs to Ewing Oil"- Bobby Ewing.

[@carlodonn8983]

Jr would never stand up to jock like bobny!@

[@charleshuber3745]

Amazing

[@AndreBlige-vb3ur]

This was something JR understood & Bobby had to find out the hard way

[@davidgoldin2577]

There's a lot of truth to what Jock said.

[@nunyabeeswax303]

Life lesson!

[@Casca-su3ty]

Jock used to be john Wayne's go too boy.

[@samuelfitzhugh3630]

You knew who was in charge

[@riderskater7248]

Brilliant brilliant scene. But it's not lost on me that JayZ has more money than Ewing Oil. Twice as much in fact. Ewing Oil was worth about one billion dollars at it's height.

[@wearabo]

Actually around $2 billion and compared to Buffet and Gates, Jay-Z's money is "pocket change."

[@BatmanFan2274]

This is why people feared Jock in the oil business. If he was still around later on Jeremy Wendell and Carter McKay would have been on their knees in front of Jock.

[@getabag_aw17]

1:52

[@Ubnaniniuk]

Take what you want take what you need not gonna make a difference

[@robertdubs9466]

Remember "If Vito Corleone were an oil baron, he'd be Jock Ewing"

[@dreamquesttv]

He even had his own Fredo (Gary)!

[@robertdubs9466]

@@dreamquesttv and his own Tom Hagan (Ray Krebbs). And J.R. and Bobby as his Sonny and Michael.

[@jdhogg35]

I always thought Jock saw JR in him where as Bobby was more closer to Miss Ellie.

[@KeithFroehlich07]

Jim Davis was bad-ass. But I thought Steve Forrest would have been a formidable Jock Ewing also. That would have been better than the Cally/Barbara Eden nonsense.

[@LindaMerchant-bq2hp]

Jock took no guff off noone

[@t9j6c6j51]

Ewing Oil may have belonged to Jock, but to take that amount of cash out without even consulting with the company manager was just wrong. Bobby had every right to be angry.

[@rosemarylopez8493]

I absolutely agree 100% with you. Great scene however Bobby was right n deep down Jock knew that Bobby was right.

[@wolfgangj.hofmann7630]

​​@@rosemarylopez8493 ... yes, you are right on the point ... Jock knew definitely ... 👍👍🙏🙌🤟

[@derrickjackson6737]

Bobby shouldn’t disrespect his Dad like that jock got piss

[@charlespeakjr2168]

​@@derrickjackson6737I understand where Bobby is coming from. However, that discussion with Jock should have been done privately.

[@BatmanFan2274]

Jock was right Bobby was wrong. Jock was Ewing Oil, he was a great business man and would have made the money back in any up coming business deals. Why do you think Jock told him about real power? He was his father he didn't need a lecture from his son.

[@craigsimons817]

2.47 it’s dawning on Jock that he has just made a big mistake saying those words.

[@AlvinFlavien-m2e]

This is what the devil could not understand so he tried to take it from God but thankfully arc angels God gave them the powerto defeat Lucifer

[@wolfgangj.hofmann7630]

... you got it, that's the incredible truth ... 👍👍🙏🤟

[@MajSolo]

I did not watch but just commenting on the title "Real Power Is Something You Take" no "Power is Built, you build it up" and there is no problem if it takes years.

[@derrickjackson6737]

Don’t ever come cross ur Daddy like that Jock wouldn’t put his foot in square off in BobbyASS it shouldn’t handle at Southfolk behind closed doors

[@jrewing1512]

Jim Davis was a terffic actor and he stoled this scene. I sure wish would've to see him in the entire series.

[@opencurtin]

Not good for the indigestion!

[@Evaweronica]

Power u take..... And to hell with all the rest??no sir. U may own the company but when u gave bobby the athority to manege then u have to take the back seat

[@msr1116]

I worked for a guy whose father made him take over the family business, though the dad still wielded power long after allegedly retiring. I think he was given a cut of the gross or net income to subsidize his lifestyle. He lived in a swanky suburb and traveled regularly but business was in the old man's blood.

[@lesleyfitzpatrick2305]

What Is JR Doing With JOCK & HIS CRONIES..
