Andra Akers: Sally Bullock

Quotes 

• Eugene Bullock : Sally, tell Ewing why you married me.

  Sally Bullock : Money.

  Eugene Bullock : [J.R. laughs]  Ain't she wonderful? Perfect. Hell, I'd rather leave it to her than those weasels I bred.

  [to Kristin:] 

  Eugene Bullock : Take a page from Sally's book, sweetheart. Tell the outrageous truth. Don't strain this aging Ewing's credibility by asking him to believe that you really care for him.

  Kristin Shepard : Mr. Bullock, I don't think you understand. J.R. is my brother-in-law, Sue Ellen, my older sister, is his wife. I'm here as a secretary.

  [Sally finds this endlessly amusing] 

  Eugene Bullock : When I give advice... smart people take it.

  J.R. Ewing : Well, I'll drink to that.

  [grins] 

• Kristin Shepard : I thought we were playing tennis this morning, J.R.

  J.R. Ewing : Oh, we are, we are, just as soon as I get a few things straightened out with Sally. And, meanwhile, I'm sure you could find something to keep yourself amused.

  Kristin Shepard : I'm sure I can, if I put my mind to it.

  [goes off in a huff] 

  Sally Bullock : That's a very demanding secretary.

  J.R. Ewing : But useful. Very useful.

  [both chuckle merrily]
