Quotes 

• J.R. Ewing : [annoyed that Lucy is having contact with Valene]  I knew that tramp mother of hers would start filling her up with false hope if she came back to Dallas.

  Sue Ellen Ewing : Somehow the role of social worker doesn't fit you, J.R.

  J.R. Ewing : Well, she is my niece.

  Sue Ellen Ewing : Well, I'm touched by your concern with children. I'm just sorry you didn't adopt me instead of marrying me.

  J.R. Ewing : [her sarcasm is not getting through to J.R]  Hm. What?

• J.R. Ewing : Hey Bobby, where's Pam? Y'all have another argument?

  Bobby Ewing : She's working late, J.R.

  J.R. Ewing : Short of cash, are you?

• J.R. Ewing : Now hold on, Ray, you're just a hired hand around here, don't try to shift the blame on me!

• J.R. Ewing : You bring a sheriff?

  Bobby Ewing : There's no law in Landsdown. And damn little help.

• J.R. Ewing : [cleaning shotgun, to Bobby]  I don't see why Dad has to have Ray along. It should be a family thing.

  Bobby Ewing : You know how he feels about Ray. It's like he is part of the family.

  J.R. Ewing : Yeah. Never could figure that one out.

• Jock Ewing : [Jock awakens to see someone under the hood of their SUV]  Hold it!

  [fires his shotgun, sniper shots follow, Jock is hit and goes down] 

  J.R. Ewing : [awakens]  What is going on?

  Bobby Ewing : Daddy's hit!

  Ray Krebbs : Get down!

  J.R. Ewing : DADDY!

• Bobby Ewing : [Bobby is tending to a wounded J.R]  Did you see who it was, J.R.?

  J.R. Ewing : [sarcastically]  No, I didn't see who it was! It had to be those men we brawled with in Landown.

  Bobby Ewing : Why would they want to kill us?

  J.R. Ewing : We hurt their pride! We ripped 'em on their own territory in front of their friends!

  Bobby Ewing : All because Daddy didn't recognize that dude? That's a little hard to believe, J.R.

  J.R. Ewing : Listen, Bob... we gotta get outta here. Those dudes might come back.

• Tom Owens : My boy and I had to start all over again, from nothing... in Landowne.

  Ben Masters : Mr. Owens has made a lot of friends around here, Ewing.

  Jock Ewing : Yeah, the kind of friends that ambush people.

  Dan Owens : They all know my father's story and who ruined him in Texas. Nobody's gonna feel sorry for whatever happens here.

  Jock Ewing : So that's it? You're gonna kill me in cold blood, huh?

  J.R. Ewing : Listen, maybe we can make a deal, sir.

  Jock Ewing : No, J.R.

  [sits up] 

  Jock Ewing : All right, Owens. Come on. If you're gonna do it, do it.

  Tom Owens : [raises rifle, then looks into Jock's unwavering eyes, lowers rifle]  I can't. I'm not a killer. I thought you're were gonna shoot my boy... I was gonna kill you, and get away with it. Give the devil his due.

• J.R. Ewing : [as he gets his shoulders rubbed]  Who was on the other line, honey?

  Kristin Shepard : The tanker people. But I told them you were in a meeting.

  J.R. Ewing : Well, what did they want?

  Kristin Shepard : You don't wanna know, do you?

  J.R. Ewing : No,

  [smirks] 

  J.R. Ewing : not now.

  [enjoying massage:] 

  J.R. Ewing : Right there, you got it.

  Kristin Shepard : J.R., is everything all right?

  J.R. Ewing : You worried about your salary?

  Kristin Shepard : No, I'm worried about you. This Southeast Asia thing's a big gamble, isn't it?

  J.R. Ewing : Now, you just let me tend to running Ewing Oil, and you tend to running me, okay?

  Kristin Shepard : Okay, but you don't have to keep everything bottled up.

  J.R. Ewing : Oh, right there, right there. Just do it.

  Kristin Shepard : I know that everything the Ewings own is mortgaged to the hilt, J.R.

  [phone rings] 

  J.R. Ewing : Get that phone for me.

  [she goes off]
