Divorce, Ewing Style (1980)

Stephanie Blackmore: Serena Wald

Quotes 

• Serena Wald : [in lavishly decorated lounge]  Do you have to leave so soon?

  J.R. Ewing : [fixing tie in front of ornate mirror]  Well, I wouldn't wanna overstay my welcome.

  Serena Wald : [pours him a drink]  You know, you're different from most of my... friends.

  J.R. Ewing : Oh, how's that?

  Serena Wald : [hands him the drink]  Well, you're the only one that hasn't offered to take me away from all this. Set me up in a place of our own.

  J.R. Ewing : Take you away from all this...? Honey, you... you got a good deal here.

  [finishes drink in one gulp] 

  J.R. Ewing : Tax-free too.

  Serena Wald : If you did set me up, it would probably save you money in the long run.

  J.R. Ewing : [scoffs, returns glass]  Don't push it, or there may not be a long run.

  [takes out lots of money] 

  J.R. Ewing : Well, I like everything just the way it is. Cash and carry.

  [drops money into that wine glass] 

  Serena Wald : [with irony]  You certainly know how to say all the right things.

  J.R. Ewing : [chuckles]  Yeah. Like you said, I'm different.

  [leaves]
