Showdown at San Ángelo (1981)

Larry Hagman: J.R. Ewing

Quotes 

• Miss Ellie Ewing : [as J.R. looks stricken after phone call]  J.R., what is it? What's wrong?

  J.R. Ewing : It's Daddy. He's real upset.

  Miss Ellie Ewing : Well, what about?

  J.R. Ewing : About Sue Ellen... having John Ross. He told me in no uncertain terms, no matter what, he wants that boy back on Southfork.

• J.R. Ewing : Yeah, it's all this family needs, another half breed!

  Ray Krebbs : J.R.!

  [rises in anger, but Donna holds him back] 

  Ray Krebbs : I just might see if that hat of yours fits into your mouth!

• J.R. Ewing : Harry, I didn't expect to see you back this soon.

  Det. Harry McSween : No reason for me to stay in San Angelo.

  J.R. Ewing : What does that mean?

  Det. Harry McSween : I couldn't do you any good. Farlows have too much power down there. No one wants to go up against them. They run San Remo County like the Ewings do Braddock.

• Det. Harry McSween : J.R., it would take an army to get your son off the Southern Cross.

  J.R. Ewing : Maybe not an army. Maybe a Trojan Horse.
