Albert Salmi: Gil Thurman

Quotes 

• Gil Thurman : You and me, we know some folks in common.

  Afton Cooper : We do?

  Gil Thurman : As a matter of fact, there's some relatives of yours. Ewing.

  Afton Cooper : The Ewings are not my relatives.

  Gil Thurman : Well, I don't mean just blood kin. I include in-laws. Like Lucy... Ewing Cooper being married to your brother.

  Afton Cooper : Not anymore. Listen, I have no connection to the Ewings.

  Gil Thurman : Well, I do. I just might have me a deal going with the numero uno Ewing... J.R. hisself.

  Afton Cooper : [exhales]  I'm sure there are lots of oilmen in this town who are after J.R. for one thing or another. They always are.

  Gil Thurman : You got it the other way round, little lady. J.R. wants something from me, and he wants it real bad.

  Afton Cooper : My, that's a great spot to be in, isn't it?

  Gil Thurman : Well, I guess you could say that.

  Afton Cooper : Oil wells? Is that he's after?

  Gil Thurman : Uh-uh, I'm not selling him my wells and he doesn't need any. I own a refinery, one of the biggest and best in Texas.

  Afton Cooper : I see. And J.R. has his eye on it?

  Gil Thurman : Sure looks that way. But I don't know if I'm selling.

  Afton Cooper : Mr. Thurman... I really would love to talk to you some more... but I have to get some rest.

  Gil Thurman : Oh, I'm sorry. And the name is Gil.

  Afton Cooper : Sure would be nice if you could come back tomorrow, though. We could pick up where we left off. I really would like to see you again.

  Gil Thurman : Oh, I'll be here.

  Afton Cooper : Wonderful.
