- Sue Ellen Ewing: [having just learned Jock has had a seizure] I thought it was you, J.R.
- J.R. Ewing: Hoping, you mean.
- Jock Ewing: [Bobby finds it difficult to work with J.R] You demand your rightful share.
- Bobby Ewing: Look, I can go into the office every day and punch him out, but I don't want to live that way!
- Bobby Ewing: [about Willie Joe and Jeb] They wouldn't even go to their own mother's funeral unless they thought the undertaker was gonna strike oil and yet Daddy gets sick and they come right in.
- Sue Ellen Ewing: [found practising just exactly how she's going to be coming down those stairs some day soon] What are you doing here?
- Pamela Barnes Ewing: I live here, remember?
- Sue Ellen Ewing: You keeping up with the latest? You planning to rejoin the working class?
- Pamela Barnes Ewing: Mm. I find it more honest than waiting for Jock to die so that you can become the lady of the manor.
- Sue Ellen Ewing: You have a disgusting mouth.
- Pamela Barnes Ewing: Oh, I beg your pardon. What was that you were doing on the stairs, checking for termites?
- Sue Ellen Ewing: If it does happen, and when I do take over,
- [gleefully:]
- Sue Ellen Ewing: the first thing I'm gonna do is throw you out.
- [doesn't see Miss Ellie appearing on balcony behind her]
- Miss Ellie Ewing: [softly] No one is taking over. Not while I'm alive.
- Miss Ellie Ewing: God bless her
- [Sue Ellen]
- Miss Ellie Ewing: . Neither she nor J.R. lack for ambition.
- Bobby Ewing: [as Pam emerges dripping wet from swimming pool] Hey, watch the suit, watch the suit.
- Pamela Barnes Ewing: My, are we touchy today.
- Bobby Ewing: No, we're not touchy. Waiting for a phone call from Houston.
- Pamela Barnes Ewing: Too busy to dry my back?
- Bobby Ewing: Never.
- [grabs her, pulls her onto his lap, they kiss]
- Pamela Barnes Ewing: Mm.
- [jumps off]
- Pamela Barnes Ewing: Watch out for the suit.
- Bobby Ewing: I'll buy you a new one.
- Miss Ellie Ewing: Ready?
- Sue Ellen Ewing: Yes. Is Pamela coming?
- Miss Ellie Ewing: No, she has other appointments.
- Sue Ellen Ewing: Figures. Well, uh, I try to involve her, Miss Ellie, but she just doesn't seem to fit in.
