- 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.
- Marilee Stone: Do you think Bobby's trying to cutthroat us?
- Cliff Barnes: A Ewing is a Ewing is a Ewing.
- 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]
