Cliff Barnes : Come on, Pam! What, you're getting flak from the Ewings because you're involved in my campaign?
Pamela Barnes Ewing : Well, what do you think? Of course I am!
Cliff Barnes : Well, you can't back out now, because everybody knows that you're working for me. And how would it look if my sister were to desert me? That would be a great job for public relations, right?
