The New Mrs. Ewing (1981)

Larry Hagman: J.R. Ewing

Quotes 

• Jock Ewing : [slid the doors closed to lash out at J.R]  I couldn't believe it. My own son. Letting some little no-account alley cat swing you by your big toe. Letting her screw up the deal with the cartel. I thought I brought you up better than that.

  [doesn't hear Miss Ellie enter] 

  Jock Ewing : A woman's place is in the bedroom. Sure as hell not in the boardroom.

  Miss Ellie Ewing : Very nice, Jock.

  Jock Ewing : Oh. Didn't hear you come in, Ellie.

  Miss Ellie Ewing : Obviously.

  Jock Ewing : Now look, Miss Ellie, you know that I didn't mean to...

  Miss Ellie Ewing : I know what you meant. You believe that the woman's place is two steps behind the man. Except when walking through a minefield.

  Jock Ewing : You don't understand, Ellie. J.R. let that uppity Lesley Stewart spoil his deal with the cartel.

  Miss Ellie Ewing : Well, you and J.R. should know all about spoilers, Jock.

  Jock Ewing : Now, what's that supposed to mean, Miss Ellie?

  Miss Ellie Ewing : Everything you touch you spoil. Relationships, people's lives.

  J.R. Ewing : Well, Mama, I think you're exaggerating a little bit.

  Miss Ellie Ewing : Am I? J.R., you and your daddy use people up and then throw them away. Even members of your own family.
