Quotes 

• Reporter # 1 : Apparently, Cliff Barnes was a moving force behind this arrest. Do you have any comment on that?

  J.R. Ewing : Yes, it's something Mr. Barnes dreamed up. He's hated this family since the day he was born.

  Bobby Ewing : The whole thing is a personal vendetta, that's all.

• Scotty Demarest : J.R., you were only a kid, but you're old enough to have killed Hutch McKinney.

  J.R. Ewing : I don't find that particularly funny.

  Scotty Demarest : Well, I didn't mean it to be funny. Miss Ellie could've killed him also.

  Scotty Demarest : What the hell you getting at?

  Scotty Demarest : There are five people in this room. And out of this group here, only one, just one could not have killed Hutch McKinney, and that's Bobby. Because he was busy getting born.

• J.R. Ewing : I'll tell you one thing: no matter how the case comes out, I'm gonna drive Cliff Barnes outta the state of Texas.

  Bobby Ewing : You're gonna have to stand in line behind me, brother.

• J.R. Ewing : Always knew that you didn't do it, dad.

  Jock Ewing : Well, the way that prosecutor was going, I was beginning to believe I did.

  J.R. Ewing : I'm sorry about having to testify against you. I sure didn't wanna do that.

  Jock Ewing : Well, you did what you had to do, J.R., and you did it like a man.

• J.R. Ewing : Sue Ellen, what are you doing right here in the middle of the courthouse, drinking?

  Sue Ellen Ewing : Isn't that what you've always wanted? You should be surpremely happy.

  J.R. Ewing : Here, use this mouthspray. Here! My daddy's in enough trouble without you sitting in the courtroom smelling like a distillery.

• Sue Ellen Ewing : Well, if your daddy goes to jail, then you'll be in charge of Ewing Oil again. Are you trying to tell me you're not on Cliff Barnes' side?

  J.R. Ewing : Sue Ellen, after nine years of marriage you still don't know much about me, do you?

• Bobby Ewing : [as Pamela returns]  Pam.

  Pamela Barnes Ewing : [in doorway]  I'm so sorry, Jock.

  J.R. Ewing : Well, you can be proud of your brother today.

  Bobby Ewing : Shut up, J.R.
