- Clayton Farlow: [referring to Patricia] So that's Sue Ellen's mother. You don't seem to like her much.
- Miss Ellie Ewing Farlow: I don't. That woman's never been anything but trouble.
- Pamela Barnes Ewing: J.R., there is no easy way to do this, so I'm just going to say it. I've decided to accept Jeremy Wendell's offer.
- J.R. Ewing: No, you can't do that.
- Pamela Barnes Ewing: J.R., please, I want you to know my reasons. And I want you to know that this has *nothing* to do with you personally.
- J.R. Ewing: It has everything to do with me personally.
- Pamela Barnes Ewing: No, it doesn't. The person it has to do with is Christopher. Now, I've thought this through, and I've realized that his future can be my only consideration.
- J.R. Ewing: How about the future of his family? The Ewings. If you sell out to a stranger,
- [shakes his head]
- J.R. Ewing: you'll destroy that family.
- Pamela Barnes Ewing: I feel very deeply about that. You know how I loved Bobby. And if I thought for one minute that I was doing something he didn't want me to do,
- [shakes her head]
- Pamela Barnes Ewing: we wouldn't even be talking. But I believe that when Bobby left his shares in Ewing Oil to his son, he wanted *only* the very best for him. Now your deal is a cash offer. Wendell has matched that. And he's offered stock that will continue to grow in value... The hard fact is that Westar's offer is substantially better than yours.
- J.R. Ewing: The hard fact is you don't give a damn about the Ewings anymore!
- Pamela Barnes Ewing: I'm sorry, J.R., but this is no longer open for discussion.
- [shakes her head]
- Pamela Barnes Ewing: It took me a *long* time to make this decision, and I am going to stand by it.
- J.R. Ewing: [nods] You're finally getting your revenge.
- Pamela Barnes Ewing: No.
- [shakes her head]
- Pamela Barnes Ewing: No, I'm not doing this to hurt you.
- J.R. Ewing: I'll try to remember that.
- [stands up, leaves]
- Jeremy Wendell: This is strictly business, J.R. And my offer to buy you out still stands.
- J.R. Ewing: [smiles] That's very kind of you. You can take your offer straight to hell.
- [walks away]
