Victoria Principal: Pamela Barnes Ewing

Quotes 

• Pamela Barnes Ewing : Mama, I can't worry about Cliff anymore. He's got you to protect him. But I do worry about Bobby. And I *am* worried about my marriage.

  Rebecca Barnes Wentworth : Pam... you love Bobby. You're gonna have to fight for your marriage.

  Pamela Barnes Ewing : [shakes her head]  I don't think there's anything more I can do about it.

• Bobby Ewing : I feel so dirty.

  Pamela Barnes Ewing : What do you want from me? Sympathy? Because you're not going to get it.

  Bobby Ewing : Pam, I don't want your sympathy.

  Pamela Barnes Ewing : Oh, yes, you do. You want me to slap your wrist and then reassure you that you're still the same wonderful man underneath it all. Well, I'm not gonna help you out! You can stay dirty!

  Bobby Ewing : You don't understand.

  Pamela Barnes Ewing : Understand? I understand that you're not the man I married! The Bobby I love would rather be dead than blackmail a Hicks or anyone else, double-cross the Cartel, and force his own mother into court!

  Bobby Ewing : There were reasons.

  Pamela Barnes Ewing : Reasons? There's only one reason! You would do anything to beat JR and get the company! Anything!

• Miss Ellie Ewing : I've done everything I could. Even if the boys are determined to destroy each other, they're not going to destroy me.

  Pamela Barnes Ewing : Can you really walk away from all this, Miss Ellie?

  Miss Ellie Ewing : Pam, the only way I can continue to live here is to ignore the war and get on with my own life.

• Pamela Barnes Ewing : Why are you getting involved in the feud again, Mother?

  Rebecca Barnes Wentworth : Somebody has to stop JR from getting that refinery. I can do it.

  Pamela Barnes Ewing : You're just escalating the war, just making it worse.

  Rebecca Barnes Wentworth : I'm making it worse? Look at what JR is up to! Look at how your own husband is behaving! The stakes are very high here, Pam!

  Pamela Barnes Ewing : I'm sorry, Mama. I'm just terribly frightened somebody is really going to be hurt.
