The Red File: Part 2 (1979)

Patrick Duffy: Bobby Ewing

Quotes 

• J.R. Ewing : You've wrecked me at the cartel, you know that. Stripped me of all my power.

  Bobby Ewing : That's wonderful, J.R. You forged daddy's will, set Cliff Barnes for a murder, and all you can think about is your power.

• Bobby Ewing : It's your Red File, isn't it, J.R.? I mean that's everything that you didn't think I was ready to see.

  J.R. Ewing : Well, you are my baby brother. Some of the stuff's pretty gamey.

• Bobby Ewing : It's the old Barnes and Ewing feud again, isn't it? Well I love you Pamela and I want you back with me. But you got to remember I was a Ewing when you married me, and I'll be a Ewing till I die. If you think you can live with that, then you call me.

  [walks away from her without looking back] 

• Pamela Barnes Ewing : Bobby?

  [he turns back from door] 

  Pamela Barnes Ewing : Please hurry back. I'm gonna need you in the courtroom.

  Bobby Ewing : That's the best thing I've heard all day.

  [winks at her] 

• Bobby Ewing : Did you see Cliff?

  Pamela Barnes Ewing : Yeah.

  Bobby Ewing : How is he?

  Pamela Barnes Ewing : Well, you know how Cliff is. Always tries to wisecrack his way through everything.

  [Bobby scoffs] 

  Pamela Barnes Ewing : I'm really frightened for him.

  Bobby Ewing : Pamela, you shouldn't go through this alone.

  Pamela Barnes Ewing : I can't come back to Southfork. Live in the same house with J.R.? Look at him every evening across dinner?

  [shakes her head] 

  Pamela Barnes Ewing : No. Not as long as I know he's responsible for Cliff being in jail.

  Bobby Ewing : Pamela, that's only part of it. I'm there too, you know. Mama, she loves you very much. Daddy, Lucy...

  Pamela Barnes Ewing : Your Daddy only tolerates me because he loves you so much.

  Bobby Ewing : You know, it sounds like you look for excuses to stay away.

  Pamela Barnes Ewing : This whole thing with Cliff has exposed all our differences.

  [Bobby raises his?eyes] 

  Pamela Barnes Ewing : Now I'm confused.

  Bobby Ewing : About what? About whether you love me?

  Pamela Barnes Ewing : [smiles, shakes her head]  No, never that.

  Bobby Ewing : Well, I don't see anything else.

  Pamela Barnes Ewing : But there is. Do you believe that Cliff is guilty?

  Bobby Ewing : I don't think he killed Julie, no.

  Pamela Barnes Ewing : Then what about J.R.? Do you think he framed Cliff?

  Bobby Ewing : I think J.R. would do anything he could to keep what he thinks is his. Like I would, to keep you.

  Pamela Barnes Ewing : Oh, Bobby, it's not that I don't miss you. I woke up this morning, and you weren't there, and...

  [voice breaking:] 

  Pamela Barnes Ewing : I needed you so badly.

  Bobby Ewing : Oh, then, let's work it out together. Pamela, we're better together.

  Pamela Barnes Ewing : [shakes her head, close to tears]  No. It wouldn't work right now.

  Bobby Ewing : [gives up reluctantly]  I'm gonna go see Cliff.

  [goes off]
