- J.R. Ewing: [re Donna] Sue Ellen, I don't understand. It's bad enough having that woman in my office, why did you have to ask her for dinner?
- Sue Ellen Ewing: I just thought it would be nice to be around family for a change.
- J.R. Ewing: Family?
- [scoffs]
- J.R. Ewing: The only one who qualifies for family is Ray, and he misses by half.
- Ray Krebbs: Well, at least some of the pressure's off, now that we know Barnes is the one that shot Bob.
- Donna Culver Krebbs: Well, the pressure might be off of us, but what about Pam?
- J.R. Ewing: I don't give a damn about Pam. All that concerns me is Bobby getting his sight back.
- Clayton Farlow: Doctors expect that might happen any day.
- J.R. Ewing: What doctors expect and what might happen are two different things, Clayton.
- Donna Culver Krebbs: J.R., there is no reason to be pessimistic.
- J.R. Ewing: I'll tell you what I'm pessimistic about: You being in my office. Now you can save yourself a lot of time and trouble by not coming in... because nothing important is gonna happen until Bobby gets back.
- Donna Culver Krebbs: Well, I know that. But I'll tell you what: I'm gonna be there just to make sure that nothing does.
- J.R. Ewing: Oh, wonderful.
- Sue Ellen Ewing: Donna, the Ewings have had their problems, but you know perfectly well that J.R. is not going to take advantage of Bobby while he's in the hospital.
- Donna Culver Krebbs: J.R. would take advantage of anybody at any time.
- J.R. Ewing: [to Donna] You do not belong in Ewing Oil!
- Donna Culver Krebbs: I am there at Bobby's request and I'm gonna stay there till he asks me to leave.
- Ray Krebbs: All right, that's enough. Let's just cut it out!
- [softly insists:]
- Ray Krebbs: Can we please have this dinner in peace?
- J.R. Ewing: There's not gonna be any peace until she gets out of my office.
- Clayton Farlow: Come on, J.R. The only thing we ought to be concerned about is Bobby. Now think how he's got to be feeling right now.
- J.R. Ewing: Well, you got a lot of nerve coming round here after what your brother did to mine.
- Pamela Barnes Ewing: What were you doing there yesterday when my brother was arrested?
- J.R. Ewing: You consider that your business, do you?
- Pamela Barnes Ewing: Yes, I do, because I think you had something to do with it.
- J.R. Ewing: What on earth could I have to do with it?
- Pamela Barnes Ewing: How did you know he would be arrested that precise moment?
- J.R. Ewing: Well, I have friends in the department. I went down there to see the expression on that worm's face when the police arrest him for shooting my brother.
- Pamela Barnes Ewing: Let me tell you something, J.R.! If he did shoot Bobby, it's because he thought it was you, and he had every reason to shoot you.
- J.R. Ewing: You know, I'm getting tired of that old song. Mean nasty J.R. beating up on poor innocent Cliff Barnes. You're sounding more and more like him, you know that?
- Pamela Barnes Ewing: Well, that's fine with me, because that means I'm beginning to sound more like a Barnes, thanks to you. I've never believed in the Barnes-Ewing feud, J.R., but now I'm going to *join* it. I'm gonna do everything I can to help Cliff, and I'm not gonna rest until *all* our families' scores are settled!
- [walks away furiously]
- Mandy Winger: Hi.
- [enters his apartment casually]
- Mandy Winger: Nice place.
- [checks it out]
- Cliff Barnes: [closes door behind the pretty girl, chuckles] I'm glad you like it.
- Mandy Winger: You don't remember me.
- Cliff Barnes: No. Help me.
- Mandy Winger: The police station.
- [points at herself]
- Mandy Winger: My place.
- Cliff Barnes: Oh, okay! Yeah, okay, the police station, yeah. I'm sorry, I don't remember much about the night we met.
- Mandy Winger: [chuckles] That's okay, there's not much to remember. But you were a lot of fun that night. Till you passed out.
- [smiles, chuckles]
- Mandy Winger: And then I woke up in the morning and you were gone.
- Cliff Barnes: Well, I'll tell you, I truly, I had been meaning to look you up, 'cause I wanted to thank you, but... I didn't know your name.
- Mandy Winger: [big smiles, shakes his hand] Mandy Winger.
- Cliff Barnes: Okay. Can I get you something to drink, Mandy Winger?
- [chuckles]
- Mandy Winger: [chuckles] Maybe a soft drink, yeah.
- Cliff Barnes: [as he prepares the drink] How did you ever go to the police about me?
- Mandy Winger: I read in the papers about you being in trouble.
- Cliff Barnes: You also read that I had a lot of money.
- Mandy Winger: Hey, I got nothing against money. That's not why I did it.
- Cliff Barnes: Oh? Then why? You obviously came here for a reason. You'll have to tell me what it is.
- Mandy Winger: I came because I thought you were really nice that night. I liked you. I thought maybe we had something going.
- Cliff Barnes: It's been quite a while since we spent the night together.
- [shakes his head]
- Cliff Barnes: Why didn't you look me up before you found out I was rich?
- Mandy Winger: Maybe I was hoping you'd look me up.
- [he looks at her in a suspicious way]
- Mandy Winger: Hey...
- [shakes her head]
- Mandy Winger: let's just forget the whole thing. I hope you and your money are *very* happy together.
- [walks towards the door]
- Cliff Barnes: [realize he is letting the very pretty catch slip through his fingers] Oh, wait, excuse me, I... I do appreciate you getting me off the hook the way you did. And I would like to repay you.
- Mandy Winger: [with her back towards him] That won't be necessary.
- [smiles, turns around]
- Mandy Winger: What did you have in mind?
- Cliff Barnes: Do you like Chinese food?
- Sly: Excuse me, J.R. Martha Randolph is out here...
- J.R. Ewing: Oh, Lord, who else...?
- Sly: Shall I show her in?
- J.R. Ewing: No, don't show her in!
- Donna Culver Krebbs: Of course show her in.
- Sly: She's very upset.
- J.R. Ewing: I don't wanna see that woman!
- Martha Randolph: I *bet* you don't!
- [enters office]
- Martha Randolph: Why would you want to see me? You destroyed my marriage, you destroyed my husband...
- J.R. Ewing: Your husband was finished before I ever laid eyes on him.
- Martha Randolph: Oh, no. Edgar had problems, but they were under control. He spent years building a new life. And then *you* dredged up his past and blackmailed him.
- J.R. Ewing: Sly, would you get a hold of the building security and get them up here right away?
- Martha Randolph: You are *evil*, Mr. Ewing. You are *evil through and through*. What I don't understand is how you always escape punishment.
- Donna Culver Krebbs: [tries placing her hand on Martha's shoulder] Martha...
- Martha Randolph: [snaps at Donna] Don't touch me!
- [Donna pulls back her hand]
- Martha Randolph: I've heard about your brother. Now he's paying for your crimes. Who's next, Mr. Ewing? Who's going to be next?
- J.R. Ewing: Will somebody get this woman out of here?
- Donna Culver Krebbs: Martha, this is not the way to solve anything.
- Martha Randolph: My husband... is in a mental hospital because of you.
- J.R. Ewing: Sure he is. That maniac tried to kill me.
- Martha Randolph: Yes, he did. And my only regret is that he missed. Because it wouldn't have cost him any more if he had killed you.
- [leans forward across desk]
- Martha Randolph: One of these days,
- [smiles:]
- Martha Randolph: somebody is going to do it.
- [shakes her head:]
- Martha Randolph: And I just hope I'm there to watch.
- [fixes him with a dirty look, a fixed stare which she holds like she's pinning down a butterfly]
- Donna Culver Krebbs: Martha... Martha...
- [Martha finally relents and walks past out of the office]
