The Letter (1983)

Morgan Brittany: Katherine Wentworth

Quotes 

• Katherine Wentworth : Pam is moving in the right direction. She seems more unsure of herself than ever. In fact, I get the impression from what she said... that if Bobby would just leave her alone for a while, she'd see the divorce through to the end.

  J.R. Ewing : Well... that little talk she and I had is bearing fruit.

  Katherine Wentworth : You saw her?

  J.R. Ewing : Yes, we had a chat. I think I convinced her that the single life is much more attractive than marriage. Especially since I would do everything in my power to make that marriage unbearable.

  Katherine Wentworth : Good.

  [sits down] 

  Katherine Wentworth : Now if we can just convince Bobby that she'd be better off without him, we could wrap this whole thing up. The problem is... he doesn't wanna let her go.

  J.R. Ewing : Well, in that case, my dear, you are not doing your job. Now, the last time we talked, I said that I would take care of Pam, and you would work on Bobby. What are you waiting for?

  Katherine Wentworth : [shrugs, sighs]  Well, I didn't know quite how to handle it... but I've got an idea now.

  J.R. Ewing : Oh, I'm sure you'll do it brilliantly. Just don't waste too much time.

  Katherine Wentworth : Okay, I'll just have to work out the details. You know, I'm curious about something. I know my reasons for wanting to keep Pam and Bobby apart. But what I really don't understand are yours.

  J.R. Ewing : Well, I have a very special feeling for your sister. I hate her. She's been a thorn in my side ever since she married into my family... and I want her as far away as possible from anybody named Ewing.

  Katherine Wentworth : Well, I can understand that when you and Bobby were fighting over Ewing Oil... but practically speaking there's not much Pam can do to hurt you now, is there? I mean, there is a truce between you and Bobby,

  [she leans forward:] 

  Katherine Wentworth : Isn't there? You have called off the fight for Ewing Oil, haven't you?

  J.R. Ewing : Bobby has, that's for sure.

  Katherine Wentworth : And you?

  J.R. Ewing : Well, we shook hands on it. I gave him my word.
