Patrick Duffy: Bobby Ewing

Quotes 

• Pamela Barnes Ewing : [Donna and Ray married]  Oh, Bobby, I'm so happy for them. Isn't it wonderful?

  Bobby Ewing : Well, I have some news that's gonna make you even happier.

  Pamela Barnes Ewing : Yeah?

  Bobby Ewing : Cliff agrees to be my legal counsel.

  Pamela Barnes Ewing : Oh, Bobby...

  Bobby Ewing : Are you happy?

  Pamela Barnes Ewing : Yes, I am. Thank you, I know why you asked him.

  Bobby Ewing : You're welcome.

  [kisses her, goes off] 

  Pamela Barnes Ewing : [to herself]  I just wish I knew why Cliff accepted.

• Alex Ward : [to his secretary, after Bobby barged into his office:]  It's all right, hon. Go out and close the door.

  [to Bobby:] 

  Alex Ward : What are you doing here?

  Bobby Ewing : I came to tell you to stay away from my wife. You've been chasing her. I want you to stop it right now!

  Alex Ward : I don't deny that I find your wife attractive. And I also admit that I tried to charm her. But only because I felt she needed me. If I hadn't felt that way, I never would have raised an eyebrow. I don't play games I don't feel I can win.

  Bobby Ewing : Listen, you phony, my wife is not first prize in some game. Now, I'm warning you, stay away from her! This time I'm talking, next time I'll beat the hell out of you!

  Alex Ward : If you're really concerned about your wife, let me make a suggestion. Talk to her. I made my move only because I knew there was something wrong with your marriage.

  [walks to his door to open it for Bobby] 

  Alex Ward : After all, she'd never even have looked at me if there hadn't been. Would she?

• Bobby Ewing : [as Pam readies herself to go downstairs where the family is going to toast Donna and Ray]  I went to see Alex Ward today, Pam.

  Pamela Barnes Ewing : Alex? Why?

  Bobby Ewing : Lucy told me she got her job because of your influence with him.

  Pamela Barnes Ewing : Oh, Bobby. It was nothing. I did it for Lucy.

  Bobby Ewing : Pam, you told me that you weren't gonna see him again. Now why did you go see him behind my back? Why couldn't you tell me about It?

  Pamela Barnes Ewing : Well, to be honest, I didn't think you'd understand.

  Bobby Ewing : Do you understand?

  Pamela Barnes Ewing : What do you mean?

  Bobby Ewing : Did you go see him for Lucy, or... because you wanted to see him?

  Pamela Barnes Ewing : [adamant]  I went to see him for Lucy.

  [fumbles with necklace] 

  Pamela Barnes Ewing : Why are you trying to make so much out of this? It's exactly the reason why I didn't mention it. I was afraid you'd misunderstand.

  Bobby Ewing : [helps her with necklace]  Pam, do you understand?

  Pamela Barnes Ewing : What's that supposed to mean?

  Bobby Ewing : I went to see Alex, because you weren't around, and I wanted to know what was going on. And he told me something very interesting.

  Pamela Barnes Ewing : What?

  Bobby Ewing : He said that you wouldn't have looked at him... If there wasn't something wrong with our marriage. Is there?

  Pamela Barnes Ewing : [she turns away, then faces him again]  There was. You changed. You became different. I didn't feel loved or cared for, that you even knew when I was around. I was alone most of the time, Bobby, even when you were here. Well, that may be okay for some wives. But I needed more.

  Bobby Ewing : You said "there was." Do you think we still have a problem?

  [a knock on the door interrupts] 

  Jock Ewing : [opens door]  Come on downstairs. They're here.
