- JR Ewing: [to Bobby] Why don't you go home, diaper your baby, and take care of that nutty wife of yours?
- Afton Cooper: You see, J.R. talked Milton into giving me the job at the Star Drift, and what J.R. gives you J.R. can take away.
- Cliff Barnes: Yeah, I know that, yeah. It's called "the long arm of the Ewings."
- JR Ewing: [playing with John Ross] Hey, he really takes after his daddy, doesn't he? He's not only handsome he's smart! Sue Ellen, you and I did a fine thing here.
- Rebecca Barnes Wentworth: Ellie thinks J.R. was really hurt over the divorce and losing custody of John Ross. She thinks he's ready for some peace in his life.
- Cliff Barnes: Mama, J. R. is a rattlesnake. And when you step on a rattlesnake the last thing they want is peace. All a rattlesnake wants to do is sink its fangs into whoever stepped on it.
- Katherine Wentworth: I'm tired of the men in New York, anyway. The ones I meet are usually on coke or on the couch or both.
