Quotes 

• Bobby Ewing : [Pamela phones Southfork from The Store]  Hello?

  Pamela Barnes Ewing : Bobby! When did you get back?

  Bobby Ewing : Oh, hi, honey. This morning. I went straight to the office.

  Pamela Barnes Ewing : Well, why didn't you call me? We could have lunch together.

  Bobby Ewing : I'm sorry. It's just that meeting with J.R. and Daddy was a real butt-breaker. And then I had that lunch with Jim Lassiter, and I was exhausted, so I came home.

  Pamela Barnes Ewing : You know you've been gone for a week. You only managed to call me twice from La Mesa, and now this? Well, thanks a lot, Bobby!

  [puts down receiver, leaving Bobby hanging... then there's a knock on her door] 

  Pamela Barnes Ewing : Come in.

  [it's Alex] 

  Pamela Barnes Ewing : Hi.

  [sad] 

  Alex Ward : Hi. Either you've just been fired or you lost your favorite puppy.

  Pamela Barnes Ewing : [forlornly]  Well, I'm losing something.

  Alex Ward : Why don't we meet, like, tomorrow, and talk about it? If it helps, you can think of me as the man from the Humane Society.

  [smiles] 

  Pamela Barnes Ewing : [smiles]  That's a wonderful idea.

• Pamela Barnes Ewing : Oh, there's nothing to talk about. I discussed it with Sue Ellen last night, and she's not gonna say anything.

  Alex Ward : No, what I wanna talk about has nothing to do with Sue Ellen. It has to do with you. Secretive lunches, furtive hand-holding, that's... that's not my style.

  Pamela Barnes Ewing : Well, it's not been mine either. I've never been a sneak, and I don't wanna start being one now.

  Alex Ward : What do you want, Pamela?

  Pamela Barnes Ewing : I'm sorry, Alex, I have a meeting.

  Alex Ward : Pam, I've got to know. Do you want me?

  Pamela Barnes Ewing : Yes. But I'm not ready to give Bobby up. And I can't cheat on him.
