Larry Hagman: J.R. Ewing
Quotes
-
J.R. Ewing : [at restaurant] Mandy... You look sad. Something wrong?
Mandy Winger : This relationship is wrong. I've been thinking all through dinner about what happened earlier with Cliff.
J.R. Ewing : Don't you worry about that little termite. He needed to be taught a lesson.
Mandy Winger : J.R., you had a fight in a public place with him over me.
J.R. Ewing : You're damn right I did. I'd do it again. I wouldn't let anybody talk to you like that, not while I'm around. But I see what you mean. Things could get back to Sue Ellen. Well, the chips will just have to fall where they may.
[shakes his head:]
J.R. Ewing : I don't want it to concern you.
Mandy Winger : My concern is that I'm getting involved with you, deeper and deeper every day.
J.R. Ewing : Good.
Mandy Winger : No, it's not good. Not for me. Years ago, I swore I'd never let myself get involved with a married man. And now, here I am, doing just that.
J.R. Ewing : But that's wonderful. I'm gonna make you very happy.
Mandy Winger : For how long? A month, a year? Don't you see, there is just no future in it for me!
J.R. Ewing : Well, you didn't have a future with Barnes, but you were with him.
Mandy Winger : [insists] He wasn't married. You will not leave your wife. I'm not asking you to. Please believe that. I mean, I don't wanna break up your marriage. It's just that I don't see how I can fit into your life.
J.R. Ewing : Of course you could.
Mandy Winger : You and Sue Ellen are practically an institution. You two have your quarrels, but you'll never marry anyone else.
J.R. Ewing : Mandy, I don't think you realize how much... how much you mean to me. I'd do almost anything to keep from losing you. Just give me a little time. It will work out.
Mandy Winger : All right.
J.R. Ewing : Oh, I'm glad.
Mandy Winger : But, J R., I still won't sleep with you.
[shakes her head]
Mandy Winger : It's not that I don't want to. I do.
J.R. Ewing : Why not? I wanna be as close as I can to you. And you know I'd never cause you any pain.
Mandy Winger : But it's bound to happen, even if you didn't mean to hurt me. I can't do it.
[shakes her head]
Mandy Winger : Please, you have to understand that. Do you?
J.R. Ewing : No. Cause I want you too much. But I won't push.
