Do You Take This Woman? (1984)

Jenilee Harrison: Jamie Ewing

Quotes 

• Jamie Ewing : You're still talking to me?

  Sue Ellen Ewing : Of course I am.

  Jamie Ewing : I saw everybody come in downstairs. Must be quite a big discussion going on down there.

  Sue Ellen Ewing : It is. You gave everyone quite a shock.

  Jamie Ewing : I didn't mean to. But J.R. got to me, telling me that I wasn't a Ewing, that I didn't belong. I just wanted to prove to him that I'm just as much a Ewing as he was.

  Sue Ellen Ewing : Jamie, if you had the picture and document all this time,

  [shakes her head] 

  Sue Ellen Ewing : why did you wait so long to show it?

  Jamie Ewing : I don't see what the big deal is. Everybody acts like they've never seen it before. Surely Uncle Jock must have had the same piece of paper that my Daddy had.

  Sue Ellen Ewing : If he did, no one in the family even knew about it. Jamie, you can just imagine the implication.

  [shakes her head] 

  Sue Ellen Ewing : You know how J.R. feels about Cliff Barnes.

  Jamie Ewing : Yeah, I know.

  [nods] 

  Jamie Ewing : And I should never have done what I did. I didn't wanna hurt anybody. I mean, the Ewings are the only family that I have. I never meant for anyone to see it.

  [shakes her head] 

  Jamie Ewing : And I'd never want to use it against my own family.

  Sue Ellen Ewing : You really mean that, don't you?

  Jamie Ewing : Sure I do. You know, maybe it would be best for everybody if I just packed up my bags and moved on out of here.

  Sue Ellen Ewing : No, Jamie, that's not the answer. Everyone's a little upset right now, but

  [shakes her head] 

  Sue Ellen Ewing : no one wants you to leave.

  Jamie Ewing : [wry smile]  Then what about J.R.?

  Sue Ellen Ewing : Ewing Oil is very special to him. But he'll calm down by tomorrow. I'll see to it.

  Jamie Ewing : Well, you know him a lot better than I do. But somehow, I don't think J.R. will ever forgive me for what I did.

  Sue Ellen Ewing : Just so it doesn't go any further, he'll be just fine. So will you. One way or another, we're all gonna be a happy family.

  Jamie Ewing : I hope so.
