Victoria Principal: Pamela Barnes Ewing

Quotes 

• Pamela Barnes Ewing : [to Bobby]  I can't help thinking if my brother's a rat, it's your brother who turned him into one.

• Bobby Ewing : What is it about you, Pamela? You think that my family is capable of any kind of double dealing, that I am, too! And yet your precious brother, he's capable of doing no wrong, is that right?

  Pamela Barnes Ewing : That's not what I said.

  Bobby Ewing : It's time you faced up to some facts. Nobody is perfect. Not me and not your brother. It's time you grew up, Pamela.

• Bobby Ewing : [she was waiting for him somewhere on the street]  We have to stop meeting like this.

  Pamela Barnes Ewing : [laughs]  Hi.

  [they kiss] 

  Bobby Ewing : I mean it.

  [walks along with her] 

  Bobby Ewing : I feel like I'm having a clandestine affair with my own wife. I'm not enjoying it.

  Pamela Barnes Ewing : I know. Maybe we should stop meeting. I love to see you... but we haven't resolved anything.

  Bobby Ewing : It could resolve itself in a minute, Pamela. You could come home.

  Pamela Barnes Ewing : Oh, if you were Bobby Smith or Bobby Jones, I would in a minute.

  Bobby Ewing : That's one wish the Ewing money can't grant you.

  Pamela Barnes Ewing : Oh, I love you, Bobby.

  Bobby Ewing : If I didn't believe that, Pamela, I wouldn't be here.

  Pamela Barnes Ewing : But I can't love the Ewing family. They destroyed my father, and now they're trying to destroy my brother.

  Bobby Ewing : Pamela... the feuding has got to stop, and it can stop with us.

  Pamela Barnes Ewing : I thought it would when I married you, but it's worse than it's ever been.

  Bobby Ewing : It takes time, honey. You've got to give it time.

  Pamela Barnes Ewing : [she halts, looks him in the eyes]  Bobby, please don't make this any harder for me than it already is. I just don't know what I'm gonna do.

  [the intensity leads to her kissing him] 

  Bobby Ewing : [after passionate kiss]  Come on, I'll buy you lunch.

• Pamela Barnes Ewing : You extort $10 000 from me by totally misrepresenting the facts. You make trouble for me and Bobby and his family, and you want to know why I'm upset? I feel like a fool. Bobby tried to tell me, and I wouldn't believe him.

  Cliff Barnes : You know, if you're so concerned about your precious marriage, why are you living in a hotel? Why aren't you home with your husband?

  Pamela Barnes Ewing : Better than anyone, you know the answer to that.

  Cliff Barnes : You know, you have to choose. You're either a Ewing or a Barnes. But you have to choose.

  Pamela Barnes Ewing : That's right. I have to decide. But you don't get to do it for me.

  Cliff Barnes : Okay, I admit, I set you up. I wanted to knock you off that fence you're sitting on because I want you here on my side.

  Pamela Barnes Ewing : Lately, your side doesn't look any more attractive to me than the Ewing side does. In fact, I can't tell the difference anymore.

  [leaves] 

• [last lines] 

  Bobby Ewing : [after kiss]  I love you, Pamela. And I want you. Does that make a difference?

  Pamela Barnes Ewing : Of course it makes a difference.

  Bobby Ewing : But not enough.

  Pamela Barnes Ewing : Oh, Bobby, if we could go someplace tomorrow, just the two of us, and start over again... I'd go anyplace in the world with you.

  [smiles] 

  Bobby Ewing : Except Southfork?

  Pamela Barnes Ewing : I can't.

  Bobby Ewing : Don't you see, Pamela? If we run away, they'd have won, both of them, Cliff and J.R. I don't wanna go through life knowing that I let them whip me. I'd like to tell you that I could wait forever for you to make up your mind.

  [shakes his head] 

  Bobby Ewing : But life's not like that. People change. Too many things happen. Decide, Pamela. Decide soon.
