Dallas Jock and Bobby Argue(famous) 

"Real power is something you take!".....greatest line ever

I loved this scene; the look of pain of scolding his son, yet teaching him an important lesson

I literally could play this over and over and it never gets old. You can apply this speech to most things in life.

"Nobody gives you power. Real power is something you take."

The look on JR's face is priceless. He knows his young pup brother is going to get schooled by daddy.

I love J.R.'s expression at the end of the argument. You can see the son just admiring the hell out of his Dad. Hagman is brilliant.

Most iconic line in Dallas all time...Jim Davis is the GOAT..

Rest In Peace to Jim Davis and Larry Hagman. This is one of the best scenes in the series' history. This was must see TV.

Old man Ewing was a bad ass on that show. Jim Davis died way too soon. He was a good actor.

Jock was the man. Ultimate badass. Jim Davis rocked that character.

"Another round for the table please Miss." You just gotta love Larry Hagman's portrayal of J.R. Ewing. Lol

Probably my favourite Dallas scene ever. Jim Davis owns it. Brilliant

After such a tense exchange between Jock and Bobby, you got JR at the end nonchalantly asking for more drinks. ROFL. Classic.

Jim Davis was the PERFECT guy to play a man's man like Jock Ewing. Great acting.

Me and grandma use to watch this every Friday at 10pm ..god I really do miss her.

Jr always had a smug look on his face .He was enjoying the argument

What can you say? Jock Ewing is a legend.

When Jock said “Ww have a hundred times that amount” phew! Boss! This whole scene took me out!!!

JOCK WAS THE MAN.......PERIOD!!

Larry Hagman was so great as jr he didn’t have to say a word in scenes Just the way he looks at the people talking with a little smirk classic

Younger people just have idea how huge and how great Dallas was in its heyday of seasons 2 and 3. Had JIm Davis lived it would have gone on to be the best TV show off all time - his loss was devastating and even though it went on for another Decade it was never the same.

Epic scene! "Any damn way I see fit!!" Tell him Jock!

Jim Davis was so great....

It was only after I spent more than half my life in the Oil and Gas Industry that I realised the characterisation of Jock Ewing was pretty much spot on. Jim Davis must have known people in the industry to pull off such a part so well. Nowadays the oil game has changed and is full of self-serving, spineless, talentless 'politicians,' wankers and wannabe's.

The great thing about Dallas was that it was a much stronger show than dynasty. Jock was a much stronger character than Blake Carrington. Jock Ewing raised two very strong sons. JR was like Jock in business but more cut throat. JR never intentionally tried to hurt his daddy or take over Ewing oil. JR worshipped Jock and always tried to make Jock proud. The same goes for Bobby. Jock's sons never disrespected him and he proved that he was the head of the family. On Dynasty, Blake Carrington, didn't have that larger than life patriarchal image. Blake constantly had trouble with each of his kids and Adam constantly betrayed and disrespected Blake. Also Blake was constantly losing credibility and for three seasons he was always on the brink of losing his company and did lose it twice. When Jock Ewing got mad, he got powerfully mad and that's when his strength came flooding out to viewers. Dallas really was a man's show from beginning to end whereas Dynasty was more a woman's show.

RIP JIM DAVIS!! Great acting!!!

DON'T YOU FORGET IT BOY!!!

He was confronting his brother and didn't realize that Jock was behind the cash withdrawal. The confrontation with his father was not his intention. We are taught at Law School that real power is never given. Great scene.

You could see JR Ewing, son of Jock Ewing, almost being physically and psychologically formed in this scene.

And now we know where JR got his mindset.

Jim Davis died of Cancer in 1981...71 years old...He was a great Actor!.

man do I miss the old Dallas

One of the best scenes from Dallas or any TV show EVER! Great acting!

A truly awesome scene. Bobby and JR represent Jock's duality and in this scene you see Jock's blood lust boiling over. JR, the devil on his shoulder, is loving it.

Only 2 people could pull off "YOU DAMN RIGHT" with such epicness: Isaac Hayes and Jim Davis. [God give them peace]

I still got all seasons of Dallas. Istarted to watch all over and now I am at season 8. Shame, that Jim Davis died so early.

I loved Jim Davis' character as Jock Ewing. He reminded me of my daddy. Rough, gruff, and to the point. Caring, loving, and concerned when he had to be and mean as a snake when he needed to be and he didn't any crap from any of us kids, especially his sons. RIP Jim, and My Daddy. 1:14, Jr's face as Bobby is attempting to come down hard on Jock, "Go ahead, dig your hole." JR seems to be thinking. :)

Jim Davis added grit to Dallas, made it feel like watching a Western. When Davis died, it was just a night time soap. Still a decent product but never would be the same without Jim Davis as Jock. His one true tough sob son Bobby, had the stones to go toe to toe verbally with Jock. Jock admired him for it, even though he was fuming over it in this scene. Great scene from a legendary actor to a darn good one.

Jim Davis' performance gave me CHILLS! He, Patrick and Larry played off each other so well. The camera angles are perfect, too. The tension just snaps! I watched it 5 times and each time I caught my breath on 'take.' I miss great performances like this, even if it was on a night soap, that we'd be talking about the next morning!

At least Bobby had the balls to confront his Daddy when he believed he needed to, JR was petrified to do the same!! Jim Davis was an amazing actor!

“Well...s’down Bobby; we got a lot of room, a lot of booze”. I miss JR and the looks have gave people. Seeing him here beside Jock in a scene like this...epic.

Best arguement on Dallas ever! Real Power is something you take!!

Thanks for this upload. I remember this scene from the first time it aired and I never saw it since.. but it forever memorable, a real life lesson I am afraid: "Nobody gives you power..real power is something you take!" Wow!

To give this scene context, Ewing Oil had gone to Bobby's head. He got so caught up in it that it put a strain on his relationship with Pam. He also forgot who really was Ewing Oil. Should Jock have given Bobby a heads up before taking that money out? Sure. But Bobby had no right to embarrass him in front of his friends and create a scene in public view. But we wouldn't have all of these scenes that made Dallas great.

Thank you very much, 11a2bdestruct, for uploading this video so that we can see it whenever we are confined to staying at home during this quarentine as much as possible. Please have a nice day today. ©® March 24, 2022 @ 8:15 am ©®

Jim Davis was so lucky to play an iconic role after a long acting career. Dallas wasn't about flashy wealth, like Dynasty. However, I did notice Jock was the character that would wear the bling 0:41 on the show from time to time. I noticed this about his wardrobe choices.

When Jim Davis passed away suddenly, it seems that a lot of the spark went out of "Dallas". It was never quite the same again. Howard Keel is a good enough actor, but bringing him into the show as Ellie's 2nd husband just never really made it as a Dallas character. Jim Davis was the embodiment of a tough Texas oil tycoon and family patriarch. Can you imagine anyone else being the father of a man such as JR?

I love that quote "Real Power Is Something You Take"!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

If Jock Ewing could see the state of masculinity in America today, he would weep.

Never piss off Jock Ewing!

This is the cast of all cast. The series of all series.

I want to see the rerun*s of DALLAS bring it back please

Real power is something you take.....powerful words...

The show was better when Jock was on the show also I love the way that jr sat there smirking

I loved the Jock Ewing character on Dallas. Tough as nails! And he was played brilliantly by Jim Davis. R.I.P.

What an actor Jim Davis was. Wonder what Dallas would have been like had he not died so early. You could see JR's admiration of his dad just oozing out. Great scene.

exactly, JR is what I've always remembered from this scene for about 25 years now but looking at it again just, this is also Jim Davis' scene, one word: wow

I always loved this scene!

They were such good actors that I believed them to be the characters they portrayed. You hit the nail

another round for the table please miss....lol

Jim Davis was the true power in the show. RIP dear soul.

Jock Ewing is one of the all-time great tv characters.

THE most legendary Dallas scene.......

Jock with the comeback. You do that

I was watching a documentary the other day on former president Lyndon Johnson. I was struck by the strong similarities between LBJ and Jock Ewing. They were both ruthless. Yet they had a strong loyalty to family and friends. I think it must be a common characteristic with these Texas "good ol' boys".

I never get enough of this scene. It was great.

Jock to Bobby : "Power isn't something you give. Power is something you take! "

Berludddy awsome! Jim Davis was cast so perfectly as the Ewing patriarch.

Classic scene! Love old Jock!

The greatest scene during the entire run of Dallas!

A classic scene in the history of Dallas and there were many.

Jock and J.R. were tight! "J.R. don't discuss my business with you or nobody else!"

this is a great scene. JR really was the most like jock.

Jock told the real truth here

So what!!!!.....WE GOT 100 X THAT MUCH.......hahahaha

My dad was the black version of jock lol

Moral of the story - don't disrespect your daddy.

This is such a great scene that in just 3 minutes raises some profound moral questions. On the one side we got Bobby: idealistic and moral. On the other side his dad Jock, who is more knowledgeable on how the real world works. "Real power is something you TAKE!", Jock explodes. And Bobby really has no answer. I myself can identify with Bobby Ewing, as I am always trying to do the right thing; and have gotten stomped for it. Does the world truly belong only to the most ruthless?

The JR's smirk priceless here, ha ha ha

Now we see what made JR JR when it came to Ewing Oil. Jock STRAPPED Bobby here 😂😂

One of the greatest scenes in Dallas and despite it being one of Jock’s best scenes, he was wrong in taking that money.

Classic moment in American TV history.

Jock was right! Ewing Oil was 100% his and he didn't answer to anyone regarding Ewing Oil least of all his Sons. He decided who would be president and no one else. It's been said the Bobby was jock's favorite but maybe on a family level but it was JR that he could count on to run the business the way he would. JR mentions a few times that it was Jock who trained him and taught him how to play hardball in business and win. Jock only wanted to raise winners and that's why he disappointed in Gary and he was right. Gary was weak and a terrible business man. By the end of knots landing, Gary lost his entire fortune by trying to harness a new form of clean energy by trying to use the power of the ocean. Ray even lost everything. I always rooted for JR when it came to Ewing Oil.

life is amazing at times n confusing at others...jim davis had been around for years before taking the role of jock ewing on dallas.....but it was this role that suited him so well n allowed ppl to see what a great and under rated actor he was....also jock overshadows bobby so much in this scene we miss that this was a scene that was well done by all invovled and what it takes to make a scene great...this was well written, well directed n well played by both jock n bobby.....but we can not leave out the svengali...jr.ewing!!!

My dad LOVED Jim Davis. He always loved the big men, and he thought Davis was handsome. They were the same age. Davis also had beautiful eyes. He was perfect for that part. The show was never the same after he died.

even thought bobby was right he never should have confronted jock like that, jock had to put him in his place.

Bobby: "You gave me Ewing Oil to run in writing." Cersei: "Is this meant to be your shield? A piece of paper?"

Jock was the one man JR never crossed, talked back to or criticised. He worshipped his daddy as well as fearing him.

“Real Power is something you take!” Jock was the man!

JR KNEW WHO THE REAL BOSS OF EWING OIL WAS JOCK!!!

JR never had the guts to stand up to old Jock like this.Bobby had balls...

Jock is completely right. Who opened Ewing Oil in the 1930's? It was Jock in the first place because it states in the prequel: "DALLAS: The Early Years." Please think positive daily.©® May 14, 2023 @ 2:55 pm ©®

Jim Davis.... Class act.....

brilliant scene, totally brilliant...the writing,the directing, and the acting...totally wrong that jock resented bobby....actually, bobby was jock's favorite(and gary was miss. ellie's) and JR. new this and it is what drove his Jealousy of Bobby(Miss. Ellie explains this too clayton in the season that bobby dies)....Jock also respected bobby because bobby stood upto him(he hated that bobbby challenged him but respected him for it) whereas JR. never stood up to him or challenged him(not b/c he feared him but because he was afraid of his disapproval). Jock and JR. were alot alike. Jock mellowed as he got older but in his youner days he had a "take no prisioners attitude"(and was ruthless to the core). Jock was an old school "mans man" who thought that women should be seen and not herd.(and only the strongest survive) Bobby has alot of character & integrity but he was no pussy and was not to be fu&ked with and JR could never beat him the way he did Gary(sue ellen described him as a steel hand in a velvet glove). Jock did not like the fact that JR. was able to drive gary away and thought that he was weak because he turned to the bottle(and lost all respect for gary as a ewing and as a man)!!...(miss ellie explains all this in a conversation with clayton somewhere in the 1st season that bobby dies)...(jock like many fathers with sons...have no tolerence for weakness or cry babies in their sons.)....if i fell as a child my father would always say " now don't you start crying"....the only time men get a pass on shedding a tear is if they loose a child or their mama....my father was an old school man's man but that man loved his mama to death n she could do no wrong in his eyes....he was never the same after she passed...

Bobby does have a point, he is open to some legal liability and should have been told before it went down. But, you would have thought he would have had that conversation in private. You could see JR bask in warm glow of contentment as Daddy laid into him.

@wheelinthesky300 so true, jim davis was a great actor and this scene is surely what acting is about, god what he would have done if he lived longer but we have these great scenes rip jim

damn that was a powerfull scene between jock and bobby ewing , you could really feel the tence and emotions against each other .

Jim Davis was such a bad ass. The best years of Dallas were when he was on it. Then the year after when it was Bobby Vs JR was pretty interesting. After that I lost interest. Jock was the man! Still is!

Aired: January 9, 1981 Jim Davis lived for just 3 more months

“REAL power is something you TAKE!” - sums up the show quite nicely. ⛽️ 💵 🤠 💍 🐴 🌆
