Quotes
-
Afton Cooper : [chuckles as they enter Cliff's apartment] Well, come on, tell me what's making you so happy. You've been on a cloud ever since you picked me up at the club.
Cliff Barnes : [triumphant tone] I am going to break J.R. Ewing. Despite the power of the Ewing name, despite the political clout... I'm gonna win.
Afton Cooper : Why do you wanna break J.R.?
Cliff Barnes : Wait. Listen, I want you to taste this wine. It's from the Loire valley.
[bit patronising:]
Cliff Barnes : That's in France.
Afton Cooper : I know where the Loire valley is. Why do you hate J.R.?
Cliff Barnes : Well, that's a long story. And some rainy, wintry night... I may tell ya.
Afton Cooper : [chuckles] Okay.
[takes glass]
Afton Cooper : So how are you gonna do it?
Cliff Barnes : What, break J.R.? Well, I'll tell you. When I got off the plane in Austin today, I had a little press conference. I'm not without friends. And the wire service were there, the local reporters were there.
Afton Cooper : And what did you tell them?
Cliff Barnes : I told them the one word that reporters like to hear more than any other word.
Afton Cooper : What?
Cliff Barnes : Cover-up.
