Quotes
-
Alan Beam : You know how important I am to J.R.
Kristin Shepard : For now. You're replaceble.
Alan Beam : What's replaceable is a secretary who does most of her work on her back.
-
Alan Beam : Was that J.R. you were talking to just now?
Kristin Shepard : Aha.
Alan Beam : Well, why didn't you put me on?
Kristin Shepard : He only had time for his most urgent messages. Flunkies aren't urgent. He'll meet you at the condo in the morning.
Alan Beam : What's the matter with you? You know how important I am to J.R.
Kristin Shepard : For now. You're replaceable.
Kristin Shepard : [scoffs] What's replaceable is a secretary who does most of her work on her back.
Alan Beam : I'd watch my mouth if I were you. Once the Barnes campaign is over, you're back on the streets.
Kristin Shepard : You're worried, aren't you?
[smirks]
Kristin Shepard : You're afraid that if I get too close to J.R., I'll cut you out.
Alan Beam : That's a laugh. He needs me.
Kristin Shepard : Mm-hmm.
[nods]
Kristin Shepard : In only one way.
[as he leaves:]
Kristin Shepard : And from what I've heard about J.R., he's overdue for a change.
-
Kristin Shepard : [refusing to connect Serena's phone call through to J.R] I'm sure he'll be back, but he does take long lunches. Why don't you try again in say in about... six weeks?
-
Kristin Shepard : Are you sure I haven't done something?
J.R. Ewing : I'm gonna take that drink after all.
Kristin Shepard : [fixes him drink] Maybe you're getting bored with me.
J.R. Ewing : Nonsense!
Kristin Shepard : My mother always said how much you enjoy the chase. Even more than the capture.
[hands over drink]
J.R. Ewing : Your mother is... a remarkable woman.
Kristin Shepard : Have I been too easy?
J.R. Ewing : What do you think?
Kristin Shepard : I don't know.
[smiles]
Kristin Shepard : Show me.
-
Alan Beam : Kristin, would you get me a cup of coffee, please? Cream and sugar.
Kristin Shepard : You must be joking.
Alan Beam : Which word did you find amusing, cream or sugar?
Kristin Shepard : J.R., do you have to meet with him here?
J.R. Ewing : Darling, I didn't hire him for his manners. Would you please get us a cup of coffee? Be a sport, all right?
Kristin Shepard : [as she goes off to fetch] Would you like one...?
J.R. Ewing : No, I don't want any.
-
Serena Wald : Hi.
Connie Brasher : Hello.
Serena Wald : I'm looking for J.R. Ewing.
Connie Brasher : Do you have an appointment?
Serena Wald : He's expecting me.
Connie Brasher : Oh. Well, it's first office down the hall.
Serena Wald : Thanks.
Connie Brasher : Hmm.
Kristin Shepard : [as Serena heads past her to J.R.'s office] Excuse me. May I help you?
Serena Wald : You just relax, darling. I can find Mr. Ewing myself.
Kristin Shepard : I'm afraid that's not possible. He doesn't see anyone without an appointment.
Serena Wald : He's expecting me.
Kristin Shepard : I'm afraid that's not possible, either. I have his schedule right here.
Serena Wald : Mm-hmm.
[walks past, gets grabbed]
Serena Wald : That's my arm, dear.
[Connie is enjoying this show]
Serena Wald : I was sent by Alan Beam. He told me to deliver this package to J.R. Ewing.
Kristin Shepard : Then you can give it to me.
Serena Wald : I said to Mr. Ewing!
Kristin Shepard : I open all of J.R.'s mail!
Serena Wald : [smirks] Not this.
J.R. Ewing : [coming out of his office] What is going on?
[sees attractive blonde]
J.R. Ewing : Oh, hello.
Kristin Shepard : J.R., she has a package for you, and she won't give it to me.
J.R. Ewing : Oh...
Serena Wald : My instructions were to give this to no one but J.R. Ewing personally. Mr. Beam said you were expecting it.
J.R. Ewing : Oh, Alan, Alan.
[takes package]
J.R. Ewing : Sure, I have been expecting it.
[to Serena]
J.R. Ewing : Step into my office, please.
[to Kristin:]
J.R. Ewing : Yeah, hold my calls, will you? This might take some time to check out.
Kristin Shepard : J.R.!
[Connie smiles]
-
J.R. Ewing : Oh, Kristin, you still here? Better be careful, honey, you'll get old before your time if you work so hard.
Kristin Shepard : I'll exercise.
J.R. Ewing : [chuckles] That's a good one. I just wanna see that Serena gets home safely. I'll see you in the morning.
Kristin Shepard : [after they've left] Beam,
[picks up phone]
Kristin Shepard : this time you've stepped over the line.
