- Vaughn Leland: [to Cliff and the cartel] When Jock finds out, he's gonna kick J.R. right out of Ewing Oil. Plus, gentlemen, we will own a large chunk of Ewing assets.
- J.R. Ewing: [answering intercom] Yeah?
- Sly: Mr. Ewing, there's a Mr. Cliff Barnes here to see you.
- J.R. Ewing: Who?
- Sly: Cliff Barnes.
- J.R. Ewing: Tell him to get lost.
- [back to reading newspaper]
- Sly: [comes trailing behind Cliff as he barges in] I'm sorry, I couldn't stop him.
- J.R. Ewing: [sighs] All right, Sly. What the hell are you doing here, Barnes? I ought to have you sent to that nut house your crazy sister is in.
