Quotes 

• Bobby Ewing : I don't feel like celebrating. Pam finds out what you did to her brother, that's the end of our marriage.

  J.R. Ewing : Well, that's like killing two birds with one stone, I guess.

  [snickers and starts to pour himself a drink] 

  Bobby Ewing : You can leave your celebrating to me.

  [walks up to J.R. and tries to punch him in the face, but Jock comes between them] 

• Sue Ellen Ewing : You're scared, aren't you? Really scared.

  J.R. Ewing : Is that a little insight you picked up from your psychiatrist?

  Sue Ellen Ewing : No. Just from listening to you for the past eight years. It's the first time I've truly heard fear in your voice, J.R.

  J.R. Ewing : Why don't you go to sleep, Sue Ellen? You know how haggard you look in the morning if you don't get your full eight hours.

  [gets up to leave the bedroom] 

  Sue Ellen Ewing : Are you gonna visit my sister and spend the night? It's gonna be quite a change for her. I don't think she's ever been to bed with a poor man.

• J.R. Ewing : [on phone]  Hank, if you don't strike oil within the next week, Ewing Oil is out of business, and so are you, boy!

  [slams down receiver, shrugs:] 

  J.R. Ewing : Typhoon!

  Kristin Shepard : J.R., I'm sorry.

  [tries to console him] 

  J.R. Ewing : Well, that's not for you to worry about, I'll write you a nice reference.

  Kristin Shepard : You know I'd work for you for nothing.

  J.R. Ewing : I know it, I know it, I know it.

  Kristin Shepard : Well, maybe Mr. Leland will give you an extension on the Southfork mortgage. It's due next week.

  J.R. Ewing : Now listen, that is defeatist talk, I don't want to hear any more about it. Why don't you go do some filing or something? I got some phone calls to make.

  [grabs receiver] 

  J.R. Ewing : Go on!

• Kristin Shepard : J.R., I couldn't stop them. Your Daddy took everything. All the files on the loans, all the Ewing Oil holdings. Everything.

  J.R. Ewing : Is that right? You gonna be home tonight?

  Kristin Shepard : Of course.

  J.R. Ewing : Haven't made any other plans or anything, have you?

  Kristin Shepard : [scoffs]  Well, no, why would I?

  J.R. Ewing : Well, I know you Shepard ladies. You and Sue Ellen like to be assured of a rosy future. I'm just not certain I can provide that for you.

  Kristin Shepard : J.R., don't! I am not Sue Ellen.

  [hugs his shoulders from behind] 

  Kristin Shepard : Whatever happens, I wanna be with you.
