Lois Chiles: Holly Harwood

Quotes 

• J.R. Ewing : [as Holly lies sunbathing on her boat]  It's a long way to come to listen to a bunch of maybes and ifs.

  Holly Harwood : We're talking about a lot of money. Refineries don't come cheap, you know. If this is too far, we can *always* meet at my office in Dallas.

  J.R. Ewing : No, no, I told you before, when we meet, it's gotta be in private. I don't want anybody to know of our association. Now... are you gonna do what I tell you or not?

  Holly Harwood : Don't get so uptight. I already authorized the purchase of the refinery.

  J.R. Ewing : You what? You mean, I've been sitting around here like a damn fool listening to a bunch of chitchat? Why didn't you tell me that in the beginning?

  Holly Harwood : [sits upright]  Because Harwood Oil is still seventy-five percent mine. And I think I'm entitled to know why you want a refinery.

  J.R. Ewing : You are entitled to the profits that are coming to you when you do what I tell you. When I was at Ewing Oil, I didn't take orders from anybody, and I'm sure as hell not gonna start now.

  Holly Harwood : J.R., I get the feeling our relationship has changed somehow.

  J.R. Ewing : No, uh-uh, no, it's exactly the same. I make the decisions and you do as you're told.

  Holly Harwood : That's not what I meant.

  J.R. Ewing : Well, what is it, then?

  Holly Harwood : Did I upset you when I turned down your little pass the other day?

  J.R. Ewing : Well, you did remind me that doing business with women can be a very frustrating situation.

  Holly Harwood : Ah. I thought my telling you that I preferred your brother to you might've ruffled your feathers some.

  J.R. Ewing : I don't care if you wanna be with two chimpanzees and a goat. I only make an offer once. Now, do as you're told, and we leave it at that.

  Holly Harwood : [big smile]  Let's do just that.
