Sue Ellen's Sister (1979)

Patrick Duffy: Bobby Ewing

Quotes 

• Bobby Ewing : [on phone]  Look, Pamela, what's the sense? As long as you think that Cliff is Sir Galahad and the Ewings are the forces of evil, there's no sense in talking.

• Bobby Ewing : What is it about you, Pamela? You think that my family is capable of any kind of double dealing, that I am, too! And yet your precious brother, he's capable of doing no wrong, is that right?

  Pamela Barnes Ewing : That's not what I said.

  Bobby Ewing : It's time you faced up to some facts. Nobody is perfect. Not me and not your brother. It's time you grew up, Pamela.

• Bobby Ewing : [Bobby confronts Cliff]  Our marriage has enough problems without you adding to them.

  Cliff Barnes : The thought of you and my sister getting a divorce doesn't exactly break my heart. I never wanted her to marry you to begin with.

  Bobby Ewing : C'mon, Cliff. I thought we came a long way past that.

  Cliff Barnes : You know, I've got nothing against you personally, Bobby. I guess I even like you. But you are a Ewing. And to date you Ewings have cost me an election, you've tried to saddle me with a trumped-up murder charge, so right now my sole purpose is to cause you as much trouble as I can, even to ruin you! And I'll do anything and use anybody to do it.

  Bobby Ewing : Even your sister?

  Cliff Barnes : Including my sister! I want her out of that family! I want her back on the right side of the tracks where she belongs.

  Bobby Ewing : [draws in close to Cliff, eyeball-to-eyeball, speaks softly but resolutely]  My brother has been waiting for the chance to tear you apart. And so far I've been running interference for you. Now, if you don't leave my marriage alone, I'm not only gonna stop doing that, I may even lend him a hand.

• Bobby Ewing : [she was waiting for him somewhere on the street]  We have to stop meeting like this.

  Pamela Barnes Ewing : [laughs]  Hi.

  [they kiss] 

  Bobby Ewing : I mean it.

  [walks along with her] 

  Bobby Ewing : I feel like I'm having a clandestine affair with my own wife. I'm not enjoying it.

  Pamela Barnes Ewing : I know. Maybe we should stop meeting. I love to see you... but we haven't resolved anything.

  Bobby Ewing : It could resolve itself in a minute, Pamela. You could come home.

  Pamela Barnes Ewing : Oh, if you were Bobby Smith or Bobby Jones, I would in a minute.

  Bobby Ewing : That's one wish the Ewing money can't grant you.

  Pamela Barnes Ewing : Oh, I love you, Bobby.

  Bobby Ewing : If I didn't believe that, Pamela, I wouldn't be here.

  Pamela Barnes Ewing : But I can't love the Ewing family. They destroyed my father, and now they're trying to destroy my brother.

  Bobby Ewing : Pamela... the feuding has got to stop, and it can stop with us.

  Pamela Barnes Ewing : I thought it would when I married you, but it's worse than it's ever been.

  Bobby Ewing : It takes time, honey. You've got to give it time.

  Pamela Barnes Ewing : [she halts, looks him in the eyes]  Bobby, please don't make this any harder for me than it already is. I just don't know what I'm gonna do.

  [the intensity leads to her kissing him] 

  Bobby Ewing : [after passionate kiss]  Come on, I'll buy you lunch.

• [last lines] 

  Bobby Ewing : [after kiss]  I love you, Pamela. And I want you. Does that make a difference?

  Pamela Barnes Ewing : Of course it makes a difference.

  Bobby Ewing : But not enough.

  Pamela Barnes Ewing : Oh, Bobby, if we could go someplace tomorrow, just the two of us, and start over again... I'd go anyplace in the world with you.

  [smiles] 

  Bobby Ewing : Except Southfork?

  Pamela Barnes Ewing : I can't.

  Bobby Ewing : Don't you see, Pamela? If we run away, they'd have won, both of them, Cliff and J.R. I don't wanna go through life knowing that I let them whip me. I'd like to tell you that I could wait forever for you to make up your mind.

  [shakes his head] 

  Bobby Ewing : But life's not like that. People change. Too many things happen. Decide, Pamela. Decide soon.
