- J.R. Ewing: Sue Ellen, I hope you're not thinking of taking advantage of my absence.
- Sue Ellen Ewing: Well, of course not, J.R. There's no need to worry. I intend to be just as discreet as you are.
- Valene Ewing: [about Miss Ellie] She's desperate to see you, Gary.
- Gary Ewing: I'm sorry, Valene. She'd just drag me right back into that family.
- Valene Ewing: No, no, no, she said she wouldn't.
- Gary Ewing: Yes, she would! She's a lady who thinks family. She can't think any other way.
- J.R. Ewing: That's Eugene Bullock over there. He's just as rich as Croesus. Has his own fleet of tankers.
- Jock Ewing: She holds me responsible for running Gary off. But I loved your brother, you know that. But it broke my heart when I found out he didn't have any guts.
- Jock Ewing: I... believe I have a son getting married here today. I'd like to attend the ceremony. If I'm welcome.
- 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]
- Miss Ellie Ewing: I wish I could give you a wedding of some kind.
- Valene Ewing: Well, maybe when we let everybody in on it, you can. I mean, as far as I'm concerned, we can get married every year, over and over.
- J.R. Ewing: Sue Ellen, why didn't you call me and let me know what was going on?
- Sue Ellen Ewing: Well, maybe it's because I don't care anymore who rules the roost at Southfork. Or maybe, it's, eh, because I enjoy seeing you not get what you want.
- J.R. Ewing: Well, If I lose, you lose, too, honey. Just remember that.
- Sue Ellen Ewing: Well, maybe I don't care about that anymore either.
- J.R. Ewing: [old melody on turntable] Why does Mama have to play that record over and over again? It's starting to get to me. I never did like it.
- Lucy Ewing: Why? Because it was one of my Daddy's favorites?
- J.R. Ewing: Oh, why does she have to keep playing it over and over again anyway?
- Bobby Ewing: Because it's Gary's birthday, J.R.
- J.R. Ewing: Hmm. I wish she'd stop. Especially the mood she's been in lately. No point in brooding over a no-account like Gary.
- Lucy Ewing: [seething] Don't you talk about my Daddy like that, J.R.!
- Bobby Ewing: A man doesn't have to be the president of a corporation to amount to something, J.R.
- 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]
- Rudy Millington: J.R. Ewing. Forget that he's the pig that he is. He's your sister's husband.
- Kristin Shepard: She doesn't want him.
- Rudy Millington: Do you?
- Kristin Shepard: You better believe it.
- Rudy Millington: I don't. What about us?
- Kristin Shepard: Ancient history.
- Rudy Millington: What is it? His money? It's not like I'm a pauper, you know. The youngest junior associate at one of the oldest and best banking firms in Texas. And I'm moving up, fast. My name will be in the firm name in ten years.
- Kristin Shepard: What's it worth?
- Rudy Millington: Two hundred thousand a year. Maybe more. We could live pretty well on that.
- Kristin Shepard: Honey... J.R. tips two hundred thousand a year.
- Rudy Millington: Your fees come out of that?
- [she tries to slap him, but he grabs her hand]
- Rudy Millington: I thought so. You mind, don't you?
- Kristin Shepard: No.
- Rudy Millington: And you miss me. You miss us. Remember?
- Kristin Shepard: I don't remember anything. Go away. I don't wanna see you.
- Rudy Millington: Of course you remember. Tonight you'll remember.
- Kristin Shepard: Shut up!
- Rudy Millington: When he falls asleep on you! I'm at the St. Francis Motel.
- Kristin Shepard: What's the matter, Rudy? Wouldn't they let you in here?
- Rudy Millington: Apparently, you have to make a reservation some time in advance.
- Kristin Shepard: Not if you're important, Rudy. Not then!
- [goes off]
