Marilee Stone : Speaking of working together, Cliff, as I remember, last time we met, you seemed rather cool. You left me by the pool all by myself.
Cliff Barnes : Things change, Marilee. I may have acted a little bit hasty, but there's nothing I'd like better than a good business relationship with you.
Jordan Lee : Cliff, you know I'd like to work with you, but I don't intend to get mixed up in any vendetta with J.R.
Cliff Barnes : You don't have to worry about that, Jordan. J.R. knows he's gonna lose his company to me.
[chuckles]
Cliff Barnes : He's running around with his tail between his legs.
waitress : Have you made your choice, Mr. Barnes?
Cliff Barnes : Uh... Champagne.
[to Jamie]
Cliff Barnes : Would you like champagne?
Jamie Ewing : Well, I don't know. I haven't had much of it.
Cliff Barnes : [to the waitress] Two. Two bottles of the very best. Nothing but the best for my sweet little partner.
waitress : Yes, sir, two bottles.
[off on her way]
Marilee Stone : You must be awfully sure of winning this fight with J.R.
[Cliff chuckles happily]
Mandy Winger : [two more guests arrive at the club] Oh, J.R., are you sure you're doing the right thing?
J.R. Ewing : I'm fine with it if you are.
Mandy Winger : There's bound to be people here you know who will tell your wife.
J.R. Ewing : Mandy, you made it perfectly clear that you did not want a little backstreet romance, so I decided not to take you to the out-of-the-way places. Besides somebody who really knows you, you could be the most beautiful independent oil woman in Oklahoma.

J.R. Ewing : [to Mandy, as they enter the restaurant and he steers her towards his archenemy:] Well, the best defense is a good offense. Come on.
[to the group:]
J.R. Ewing : Well, looky here. Birds of a feather. Plotting an assassination, are you? Or trying to figure out a way of stealing somebody else's company?
Jordan Lee : You got no call to talk that way, J.R.
J.R. Ewing : Really? Well, Marilee, I see you and Jamie made up. Planning a little midnight swim later?
Cliff Barnes : [glowering] Shut up, J.R.!
J.R. Ewing : Jamie, you sure found yourself a prize.
Jamie Ewing : I'm sure I prefer it to yours.
J.R. Ewing : Oh, really? You know what they say. Losers tend to flock together.
Cliff Barnes : Ah-hah! Like the little lady you're with, huh?
Mandy Winger : [shocked] Cliff...!
Cliff Barnes : Oh, I heard you're such a big spender, J.R. Tell me, how much did it cost to have her throw me over?
J.R. Ewing : Oh, that was for free. All she had to do was hang around with you for a while.
Cliff Barnes : Oh, is that so? Well, you're welcome to her. Considering the number of nights she spent at my place, you can have my leftovers.
Mandy Winger : [furious] You miserable worm!
[slaps Cliff through the face - hard!]
Cliff Barnes : [laughs] Well, you'll find out how much better off you were with me than with what you got there!
[and then J.R. decks him]
