Quotes 

• J.R. Ewing : [enters living room]  Well, looky, everybody lined up to watch television?

  Miss Ellie Ewing : Why? Is there something we should watch?

  J.R. Ewing : There sure is.

  Sue Ellen Ewing : J.R. was interviewed by the news.

  Pamela Ewing : Well, I can miss that.

  J.R. Ewing : Is Bobby not home yet?

  Miss Ellie Ewing : He's still at the office.

  J.R. Ewing : Well, why don't you call him, Pam? He wouldn't wanna miss all the warm and wonderful things I said about him.

  Pamela Ewing : Goodnight, Miss Ellie.

  [gets up] 

  Miss Ellie Ewing : Goodnight, Pam.

  [Pamela leaves] 

  Sue Ellen Ewing : Goodnight.

  J.R. Ewing : Can I freshen up your drink, Mama?

  Miss Ellie Ewing : No, thank you. Uh, I'm going to bed.

  Sue Ellen Ewing : You're not gonna watch the show?

  Miss Ellie Ewing : No, I, uh... I don't care... to watch my two sons attack each other in public.

  [leaves] 

  J.R. Ewing : [smirks]  Attack? I haven't even loaded my guns yet.

  [chuckles] 

  J.R. Ewing : Okay, let's watch this thing.

• Bobby Ewing : [Pam switches on the light as he enters the bedroom]  Oh, honey, it's late. I thought you were asleep.

  [as she gets up:] 

  Bobby Ewing : Wait till I tell you what happened. I had the best stroke of luck you can imagine. I think I found a way to force the cartel into opening up the Wellington well.

  Pamela Ewing : [unimpressed]  That's wonderful. Now you can lose a few more friends.

  Bobby Ewing : Well, honey, J.R.'s way ahead. I have to catch up.

  Pamela Ewing : Bobby, by the time you catch up to J.R., you may lose your family and all the friends you ever had.

  Bobby Ewing : Pamela, we've been through this all before. And you know the kind of race I'm in. I'm doing what I think is right.

  Pamela Ewing : I'm very much afraid of what it's doing to you.

• Bobby Ewing : [after the phone call from Mark Graison]  Honey, what was that all about?

  Pamela Ewing : Well, his family has a lawyer on retainer that Miss Ellie wants to use.

  Bobby Ewing : What does that have to do with you?

  Pamela Ewing : I'm helping Miss Ellie convince him to loan her the lawyer's services.

  Bobby Ewing : [angrily]  I don't believe it. Pamela, you may want this fight between J.R. and me to be over... but you're on the wrong side of the war.

  Pamela Ewing : I don't think so.

  Bobby Ewing : [nods]  I'm going downstairs to have a drink.

  [leaves] 

• Mark Graison : [clearly Pamela has found favor in his eyes]  You look very lovely this morning.

  Pamela Ewing : Thank you. Last night, you said there was a question.

  Mark Graison : Well, I just thought before I release Brooks Oliver to work for Miss Ellie, I... ought to know a little about what he's gonna get into. How the family feels, for example.

  Pamela Ewing : Well, my husband and his brother are against it, that's for sure.

  Mark Graison : What about you?

  Pamela Ewing : I think Miss Ellie should do what she needs to do.

  Mark Graison : Even if it's against what your husband wants?

  Pamela Ewing : In this case, yes.

  Mark Graison : Well, it sounds like you want Miss Ellie to break the will almost more than she does.

  Pamela Ewing : We both want to end this rivalry for Ewing Oil.

  Mark Graison : [smiles]  All right, I'll give you Brooks Oliver.

  Pamela Ewing : [smiles]  Well, that was easy. I must be very persuasive.

  [he smiles] 

  Pamela Ewing : Either that, or you made up your mind before this morning.

  Mark Graison : Right.

  Pamela Ewing : Then why are we having breakfast?

  Mark Graison : Because you knocked me out the other day when we met, and I wanted to see you alone.

  Pamela Ewing : Mr. Graison, I'm a married woman.

  Mark Graison : I know that.

  Pamela Ewing : And I'm not very modern when it comes to playing around.

  Mark Graison : That is a very attractive quality.

  Pamela Ewing : Well, I'm glad you appreciate it. It's a quality I intend to keep.

  Mark Graison : You know, marriages are funny. Ships... in a storm. Some waves they survive. Others break them apart.

  Pamela Ewing : Well, I have a very strong marriage. And we've survived lots of storms.

  Mark Graison : The battle over Ewing Oil may strain it more than you think. If you ever need a lifeboat...

  Pamela Ewing : I don't think I ever will.

  [he smiles] 

  Pamela Ewing : Thank you.

  [gets up] 

  Mark Graison : Have Miss Ellie give me a call about Brooks.

  Pamela Ewing : I'd appreciate it if you'd do that yourself. And also, that you not mention that we... had breakfast together.

  Mark Graison : [finger in front of his mouth]  Shh.

  Pamela Ewing : Thank you again.

  [shakes his hand, walks away]
