- J.R. Ewing: Well, I'll tell you what I'm gonna do. If these tests embarrass me publicly, and it's proven that Cliff Barnes is the father of that child, I am gonna get the quickest divorce in the history of the state of Texas. And you, my dear, can walk the streets before I'll give you a dime.
- Jock Ewing: We'll take care of Cliff Barnes. Noboby is gonna talk about the Ewings and get away with it.
- Sue Ellen Ewing: What are you going to do about it?
- Jock Ewing: I know one thing for sure: we can't kill him. But I'll guarantee you one thing: before we get through suing him, he'll wish that he'd never messed with us.
- Sue Ellen Ewing: My mamma says: a lady doesn't dignify an insult by answering it.
- Jock Ewing: J.R., will you tell your wife to sign the damn paper so we can get out of here?
- Kristin Shepard: Sue Ellen. I read that terrible story in the paper about you. You must feel just awful. I'm so sorry for you. I don't know what would make Cliff Barnes say such a dreadful thing.
- [smile slips through]
- Sue Ellen Ewing: You'd love it if all of that were true, wouldn't you?
- Kristin Shepard: Sue Ellen, how can you say that? Of course not.
- Sue Ellen Ewing: You think that J.R. would throw me out and you'd have him all to yourself.
- [Kristin looks all angelic]
- Sue Ellen Ewing: Well, you don't know him as well as you think you do.
- Miss Ellie Ewing: [the Ewing women are watching Cliff Barnes withdraw from the run for congress] Poor Digger. This must be a big disappointment to him.
- Sue Ellen Ewing: Some people deserve to fail.
- Lucy Ewing: Alan must be miserable. He really thought Cliff had a chance of winning.
- Cliff Barnes: You interviewing my daddy? Sit down.
- Debra Johns: As a matter of fact, he's given me a story that my paper would like to print. But I need your corroboration, because it could prove extremely embarrassing to J.R. Ewing.
- Cliff Barnes: Anything that can embarrasing him has got to be true.
- Kristin Shepard: Well, I was only supposed to work for Ewing Oil temporarily. But I've been having such a good time that... I've practically put all thoughts of school right out of my head.
- Andy Bradley: Well, I don't know how J.R. does it, but he always manages to find the prettiest ladies to work for him.
- [she chuckles]
- Andy Bradley: Must be a real pleasure to come into the office every morning and see you first thing.
- Kristin Shepard: [chuckles] Why, thank you, Mr. Bradley.
- Andy Bradley: Now, you can call me Andy, sugar.
