• JR Ewing : Morning, Pam. Hey, you're kinda late, aren't ya? Shouldn't you be out meddling in somebody's life?

  Pamela Barnes Ewing : I don't meddle in people's lives, J.R. That's your specialty.

  JR Ewing : Well, you're meddling in my life, carrying on with Mama the way you are. I've been meaning to talk to you about Bobby too. You know, you're helping Mama is pretty rough on that boy. He's so concerned, he can't, uh... can't keep his mind on his business.

  Pamela Barnes Ewing : [with coldest irony]  It must bother you deeply.

  [gets up, walks away] 

  JR Ewing : And another thing... he's gonna need all the spunk he can get in this contest. I'll win, of course. Everybody knows that. But you gotta give him a sporting chance.

  Pamela Barnes Ewing : You know, J.R., I think Bobby could beat you. I think he could wipe you right out of Ewing Oil, but to do that, he'd have to become like you, and I don't want that.

  JR Ewing : Your concern is very touching, my dear.

  Pamela Barnes Ewing : I'm gonna side with Miss Ellie, and I'm gonna fight you and Bobby every step of the way.
