Quotes 

• [first lines] 

  J.R. Ewing : [at restaurant, drowning sorrows:]  I want you to keep your eyes on this glass, and when you find that it's empty, bring me another one, and keep them coming till I tell you to stop.

  waitress : Mr. Ewing, is something wrong?

  J.R. Ewing : Well, yes, but nothing that I wanna talk about.

  waitress : I'll keep the drinks coming.

  Holly Harwood : [as he takes sip]  J.R.

  J.R. Ewing : Oh, Lord.

  [lowers glass] 

  Holly Harwood : I was hoping I'd run into you.

  J.R. Ewing : Would you please leave, Holly?

  Holly Harwood : I just heard the most astounding news...

  [sits down uninvited] 

  Holly Harwood : that you and Bobby are gonna run Ewing Oil side by side, share and share alike.

  J.R. Ewing : Well, news travels fast in this town.

  Holly Harwood : Good story like that? Hard to keep bottled up.

  J.R. Ewing : [takes sip]  You've heard the story and you've told me about it. Now, I really wanna be alone.

  [waitress brings next drink] 

  J.R. Ewing : Oh, thank you, honey.

  waitress : [to Holly:]  Can I get you something?

  Holly Harwood : Nothing for me, thank you.

  J.R. Ewing : Ah, no, the lady's leaving...

  [as the waitress goes off:] 

  J.R. Ewing : Aren't you?

  Holly Harwood : Looks like the only friend you have left is in that glass. I just think it's wonderful that despite all your manipulations... despite all your crooked deals... despite your hitting me up for twenty million bucks to get you out of my company... Despite *all that*... you still couldn't beat Bobby.

  J.R. Ewing : Holly, I don't feel that I owe you *any* kind of an explanation. But since you're not gonna leave my table... *maybe* I can shut you up by giving you a little inside information. Bobby and I agreed to split up the company long before the accounting.

  Holly Harwood : Maybe you did. But the way I heard it, you were gonna double-cross Bobby. It was Bobby that agreed to share Ewing Oil with you. Not the other way around.

  J.R. Ewing : Well, I must compliment you on the quality of your spies.

  Holly Harwood : [smirks]  I still have some people in this town who owe me favors.

  J.R. Ewing : [smirks]  Well, since I don't think you slept with Punk or Harv Smithfield... it must have been one of the auditors. Or all of them, as the case may be.

  Holly Harwood : [hurt by his insinuation]  Same old J.R.

  [smirks] 

  Holly Harwood : Losing has done nothing for your soul. But I'm happy that you lost, because you cost me the one thing in the whole world that I ever really wanted.

  J.R. Ewing : Bobby.

  Holly Harwood : Yes.

  J.R. Ewing : Well, he's free now, honey. You can go after him free as a bird.

  Holly Harwood : You made that impossible.

  J.R. Ewing : I did?

  [realizes] 

  J.R. Ewing : You mean because of that one night I spent in your bed? Oh, my saintly brother.

  [gets up] 

  J.R. Ewing : Darling, I'd like to make a little toast. To the fact that you will never, ever be my sister-in-law. And I wanna thank you, too, for reminding me how ethical my brother is. It's a flaw in his character that eventually will cause his downfall in the oil industry. I'm not finished yet, honey, not by a long shot. Thank you. I'm feeling better.

  [she turns away, but as she goes off, J.R. sits glowering]
