Quotes 

  • Mrs. Shepard : [elderly romance]  We're strongly attracted to each other. Uh, spiritually, I mean.

    Lucy Ewing : Well, I'm so glad it isn't physical or anything.

    Miss Ellie Ewing : Lucy!

    Lucy Ewing : Why, I'll bet Mrs. Shepard's glad, aren't you, Mrs. Shepard?

    [smiles] 

    Mrs. Shepard : [resignedly]  Yes, Lucy. Oh, I wish Kristin could come with us, but of course she has her own plans.

    Kristin Shepard : I'm really gonna miss Dallas. I honestly don't wanna go back to Santa Fe.

    Bobby Ewing : Well, you probably should. All your friends are there.

    Pamela Barnes Ewing : You must wanna say goodbye to everybody before you go to California. USC Architectural School, that's really exciting, Kristin.

    Kristin Shepard : But I feel as if I'm...

    [shakes her head] 

    Kristin Shepard : missing something. Maybe I'm rushing into this architecture thing too fast.

    Mrs. Shepard : The answer to my dreams is to have Kristin marry the right man.

    J.R. Ewing : Oh, I'm sure she will, Patricia.

    Kristin Shepard : I'd even settle for a job until next term.

    J.R. Ewing : A job, really?

    [nods] 

    J.R. Ewing : Well, maybe we could work something out, uh... Say, Bob, maybe she can fill in for Louella. On a temporary basis.

    [explaining to the others:] 

    J.R. Ewing : Louella's my secretary. She's getting married.

    Mrs. Shepard : Oh, yes, Jock mentioned it to Kristin and me earlier.

    Bobby Ewing : Well, I imagine Kristin will find office work a little boring.

    Kristin Shepard : Oh, no, from what I've heard, Ewing Oil sounds fascinating.

    [unnoticed, Lucy quietly mocks her] 

    J.R. Ewing : Well, let's give it a try. What do you say?

    Kristin Shepard : [throws her hair back]  Oh, I'd love that.

    J.R. Ewing : Well, how about you, Patricia, do you think it's a good idea?

    Mrs. Shepard : Well, uh, if that's what Kristin wants... But I have given up the apartment.

    Lucy Ewing : Well, I don't think Kristin will be too happy here on Southfork. It's much too isolated for her.

    Kristin Shepard : Oh, I wouldn't think of imposing.

    J.R. Ewing : I wouldn't worry about that. I think Ewing Oil could find a place you'd be comfortable in. Uhm... what about the Oakside condo, Dad? That's available, isn't it?

    Jock Ewing : Uh, let's see, the Oakside... the Oakside condo... Yeah, that's available.

    J.R. Ewing : [to Kristin]  Well, then, there you are. Your got your own little place down in Dallas.

    [Kristin is elated, Sue Ellen scowls] 

    Mrs. Shepard : I don't know. Sue Ellen, what do you think? Is Kristin doing the right thing?

    Sue Ellen Ewing : [steely]  I think that Kristin always knows exactly what she's doing.

    [Kristin regards her coldly] 

    J.R. Ewing : [smiling at Kristin]  Well, there you go, start work tomorrow.

    [chuckles]
