- Kristin Shepard: I find it fascinating, especially the secrets.
- J.R. Ewing: What secrets?
- Kristin Shepard: [chuckles] Don't worry, J.R., I won't tell.
- J.R. Ewing: Tell what?
- Kristin Shepard: Well, there's the meetings with Mr. Leland and Mr. Hanson. There's Southeast Asia. I don't exactly know what it's all about. But I am sure that it has to do with lots and lots of money. You know, I'll bet Bobby or Uncle Jock...
- [nods]
- Kristin Shepard: They could figure it out.
- J.R. Ewing: Why, you little rascal... You're what they call... a devious wench.
- Kristin Shepard: Why, J.R., I thought you liked devious.
- J.R. Ewing: I love devious.
- [puts his arms around her neck]
- J.R. Ewing: Now, what are you gonna do with this newfound knowledge of yours?
- Kristin Shepard: Nothing.
- J.R. Ewing: You're not gonna tell Bobby or my Daddy?
- Kristin Shepard: Of course not. Why, your Daddy might remove you from Ewing Oil. And where would that leave me?
- J.R. Ewing: [shakes his head] You're one smart lady.
- Kristin Shepard: All I want, J.R., is for you to keep coming back. No one-night stands.
- J.R. Ewing: Kristin, with your mind and your body... It just might take me a lifetime to figure you out.
- Kristin Shepard: J.R., you just pushed all the right buttons.
- [passionate kiss]
- J.R. Ewing: [J.R. has just been flirting with Kristin when Sue Ellen comes out in a bathing suit] Sue Ellen? Pretty hot out here. Maybe we ought to go back upstairs.
- Sue Ellen Ewing: Oh?
- J.R. Ewing: Yeah, it's early yet. We got plenty of time before I have to go to work.
- Sue Ellen Ewing: [gives him an ice-cold look] I love your sudden urges, J.R. They're almost as romantic as, eh, your daddy's pit bull.
- Kristin Shepard: [Kristin is serving hors d'oeuvres to the Cartel members in a low cut top] Mr. Bradley...
- Andy Bradley: Guilty as charged.
- Kristin Shepard: Mr. Lee...
- Jordan Lee: Just what I like.
- Kristin Shepard: Mr. Luce...
- Wade Luce: I sure am, honey!
- [guffaws]
- Kristin Shepard: You said it, I didn't.
- Wade Luce: Hey, she's fast, too!
- [more raunchy laughter]
- Pamela Barnes Ewing: But you know it would help if everybody wasn't under so much pressure from you.
- Cliff Barnes: That is not going to change until I break J.R.
- Kristin Shepard: I'm not looking for a one-night stand, J.R.
- J.R. Ewing: I know you're not.
- Kristin Shepard: Isn't that what this would be, give or take a night or two?
- J.R. Ewing: I hope you're not expecting any promises from me.
- Kristin Shepard: Oh, no, J.R., I wouldn't do that. Not ever.
- J.R. Ewing: Good.
- Kristin Shepard: I need a little time to think. Can you understand that?
- J.R. Ewing: I'm not exactly a patient man.
- Kristin Shepard: I promise I won't take forever to make a decision.
- J.R. Ewing: Kristin, you just take all the time you need.
- J.R. Ewing: If you don't wanna fight Cliff Barnes, just tell me. Just come out and say so.
- Bobby Ewing: Look, I'm as commited as you are to getting Cliff Barnes out of office but it doesn't entail a daily trip to Austin. Unless you're trying to cover up something down here. And I'm not talking about your considerable attention to your wife's sister.
- 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]
- Mrs. Shepard: Kristin, one day you'll find a man like that just for yourself.
- Kristin Shepard: I think that's possible, Mama. Quite possible.
- Mrs. Shepard: Now, I'll be leaving tomorrow. You'll be completely on your own. I know I can trust you to remember all the things I've taught you, like waiting for the right opportunity.
- Kristin Shepard: Mama, I remember everything you've taught me.
- Mrs. Shepard: So, wherever I am, I can be relaxed, knowing that you would never do anything to harm your sister. I'm worried about Sue Ellen. Keep an eye on her, dear. Keep me informed.
- Kristin Shepard: I don't think she's been succeeding too well with J.R.
- Mrs. Shepard: Sue Ellen might be a little bit depressed right now. That often happens after giving birth. But if it turns out she's not entirely happy with the life J.R. has to offer her...
- Kristin Shepard: Well, above all, we want Sue Ellen to be happy.
- Mrs. Shepard: Of course, dear. We could give her all the love and support she'd need to start a new life elsewhere. I'd certainly miss having a son-in-law like J.R.
- [laughs]
- Mrs. Shepard: I never met a man who enjoys the chase as much as he does. Almost more than winning.
- Kristin Shepard: Why don't you let me worry about J.R. Ewing?
- Mrs. Shepard: Whatever you do, Kris, it will be the best thing for all of us.
- Kristin Shepard: You can trust me, Mama. I won't let you down.
- Mrs. Shepard: I know you won't.
- J.R. Ewing: [much taken with his young sister-in-law as she emerges from swimming pool in bikini] Well, looking very fetching this morning. Sleep well?
- Kristin Shepard: Oh, yes. I just love spending the night here. Makes me feel more like one of the family.
- J.R. Ewing: You are part of the family.
- Kristin Shepard: Mama;s gonna be so jealous when I tell her what a good time I've had here. She'll be sorry that she stayed last night in Dallas after the party.
- J.R. Ewing: Well, I suppose she's got a lot of packing to do before her European trip. I guess you have some packing to do too. We're all gonna miss you when you go back to Santa Fe.
- Kristin Shepard: Thank you, J.R.
- J.R. Ewing: Have a nice day
