Quotes 

• Lucy Ewing : Daddy, I was just telling mamma that, since neither of you got married again, you both must still be carrying torches.

  Gary Ewing : Oh, you see, if I carried a torch I'd have blown myself up a dozen times from all the alcohol on my breath.

• Valene Clements : [after business proposition, as J.R. drives off with Lucy]  Gary?

  Gary Ewing : Yeah?

  Valene Clements : You gotta get away from here.

  Gary Ewing : But why? Didn't you hear? It's all going fine.

  Valene Clements : I heard. Now look, you pack your bags and go to California. Or anyplace.

  Gary Ewing : I don't understand. What's wrong?

  Valene Clements : [close to tears]  J.R. is coming after you. Now, I'll move too, maybe. We'll keep in touch... and if it all works out, we can come back for Lucy.

  Gary Ewing : Now, wait a minute, Val...

  Valene Clements : You can't wait. He's gonna do it again... to you, to us, and to Lucy.

  Gary Ewing : Come on, Val. He's just...

  Valene Clements : Can't you see? He's doing something. Whatever it is, it's gonna leave you wrung out and tossed away like the last time. And when he gets through with you, he's gonna come after me. And then Lucy isn't gonna have either one of us again.

  [runs off tearfully] 

• Valene Clements : [admiring Southfork from afar]  It so peaceful. It's really a beautiful place. I can't believe what's waiting for us inside. J.R. and your Daddy...

  Gary Ewing : It's like I told you, Val. Jock's

  [shakes his head] 

  Gary Ewing : easier, he's not so hard anymore. J.R.'s fine, almost like a real brother.

  Lucy Ewing : They're really glad Daddy's back.

  Valene Clements : J.R. says one thing, he does something else.

  Lucy Ewing : But I told you about Pam, Bobby's wife. She's living there, J.R. doesn't bother her.

  Valene Clements : Her husband's with her. That means a lot.

  Gary Ewing : [to Val]  Look, I know it's no excuse, but... when I left here sixteen years ago,

  [shakes his head] 

  Gary Ewing : I didn't think they'd make you leave too.

  Valene Clements : Yeah, I know.

  Gary Ewing : I thought I'd be back. All I knew was... I couldn't breathe on this ranch.

  Valene Clements : But we would have gone with you!
