Quotes
-
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]
