- Afton Cooper: [he denies having used her to get to J.R] Yeah, well, even that doesn't really matter, Cliff. You're a loser. And I don't have any room in my life for losers.
- Cliff Barnes: Mr. Wendell... Dave Stratton made some promises before the hearing in Austin. Uh... a position with Westar...?
- Jeremy Wendell: You don't seem to have gotten my message, Mr. Barnes. Westar Oil does not reward losers.
- Afton Cooper: [J.R. asks if he's ever rewarded her for helping him out with Cliff Barnes] You thanked me plenty. I was even able to move out of Mitch's old apartment.
- Donna Culver Krebbs: I loved Ray... just the way he was. A cowboy. Real, unassuming. Never felt like he always had to have the answer. And, uh... now he's changed. He's a wheeler-dealer now, a real Ewing.
