- JR Ewing: [after Sue Ellen has come into his bedroom for sex, and then gets up to leave] Well, I'll be damned if you can come in here any time you want and use me like some stud-service!
- Sue Ellen Ewing: What other possible use could I have for you? Good night.
- Sue Ellen Ewing: [as they enter the ladies' room] J.R. tells me your Daddy was in the oil business too.
- Jenna Wade: Oh, yes. Old Lucks Wade turned the richest fields of East Texas into dust by the time I was sixteen.
- Sue Ellen Ewing: Is that why you went to Europe?
- Jenna Wade: Well, it offered a lifestyle I liked and they did still think I was an heiress.
- Sue Ellen Ewing: [snickering] So you left Bobby behind?
- Jenna Wade: [taken aback] Uh, were you and Pam very close?
- Sue Ellen Ewing: We were friends. Why?
- Jenna Wade: [exhales] I just wondered whose side of the fence you were on. You know, they were divorced before I ever saw Bobby again this time.
- Sue Ellen Ewing: Well, I really don't think it's any of my affair.
- [it's then that the opposition comes in as well]
- Pamela Barnes Ewing: [merrily chatting with Katherine and Afton] I don't know, I don't know.
- Katherine Wentworth: I don't wanna think about it.
- [spots their adversaries:]
- Katherine Wentworth: Oh, God.
- Pamela Barnes Ewing: Hi, Sue Ellen. Jenna.
- Sue Ellen Ewing: Hi, Pamela, how are you?
- Pamela Barnes Ewing: I'm fine, thank you.
- Jenna Wade: It's nice we're all trying to be so civilized, isn't it?
- Katherine Wentworth: I don't think you're in any position to talk about being civilized... the way you latched on to Bobby in such a hurry.
- Jenna Wade: Do you think this is any affair of yours?
- Pamela Barnes Ewing: Well, it didn't take you very long to find him, did it?
- Jenna Wade: He found me. But then, I knew him first, didn't I?
- Sue Ellen Ewing: Uh, ladies, I don't think this is the proper place for an argument.
- Afton Cooper: Why don't we go back to our table?
- Katherine Wentworth: Afton, why don't you just stay out of this? This is between Pam and Jenna.
- Afton Cooper: [finally bites back] And you?
- Jenna Wade: I don't know why we are arguing. You're not married to Bobby anymore, Pam. You gave him up.
- Pamela Barnes Ewing: You're right. We really don't have anything to argue about.
- Jenna Wade: [smiles] Well, then, let's all go back to our tables. I'm happy with my date, Pam. I certainly hope you're happy with yours.
- [leaves]
- Sue Ellen Ewing: [follows, whispers:] I'm sorry, Pam.
- Katherine Wentworth: [after their two adversaries have left] She's a real witch.
- Pamela Barnes Ewing: Well, she's right. I did divorce Bobby. And I'm very happy with Mark. When we get back to the party, let's have a real good time.
- [last lines]
- Cliff Barnes: [approaches the Ewing's table victoriously] J.R., I hope your seat belt's fastened, because I'm about to tell the whole world the story of the great Jock Ewing and Digger Barnes!
- JR Ewing: Hello, Punk.
- Punk Anderson: Howdy, boys, howdy. I just heard the news about Ray, that's sure a big relief, isn't it?
- JR Ewing: [insincere] Yeah, I can't tell you how wonderful I feel about that.
- Katherine Wentworth: Are you going with Mark?
- Pamela Barnes Ewing: Yes.
- Katherine Wentworth: Won't the Ewings be there?
- Pamela Barnes Ewing: I'm sure they will.
- Katherine Wentworth: Won't it bother you to see Bobby there with somebody else?
- Pamela Barnes Ewing: Bobby and I are divorced. He's free to go with whomever he wants.
- Katherine Wentworth: Then it won't bother you?
- Pamela Barnes Ewing: No more than it will bother him to see me there with Mark.
- Katherine Wentworth: Pam, you've done everything but answer my question.
- Jenna Wade: So of all the women in the world, I'm the last she'll want to see you with. You're not just asking me to spite her, are you?
- JR Ewing: [rising] Well, if it isn't the whole Barnes-Wentworth clan. Oh, by the way, Pam, what name are you using, now that you're no longer a Ewing?
- Pamela Barnes Ewing: It's really none of your business, is it?
- JR Ewing: Oh, well, I was just curious as to how I'm gonna introduce everybody, but... you know Jenna Wade. Jenna, you remember Pam? Bobby married her after you ran out on him.
- [Jenna blanches]
- Bobby Ewing: J.R., cut it out.
- JR Ewing: Well, for those who don't have a program, I'm gonna have to announce all the names of the players, aren't I?
- [grins]
- Cliff Barnes: Don't bother, J.R, this is one night that not even you can spoil.
- JR Ewing: [laughs, sits down] Now, as I was saying...
- Jenna Wade: Bobby, can we dance, please?
- Bobby Ewing: Oh, sure.
- [gallantly leads her away]
- JR Ewing: [stands up to lead Sue Ellen onto the dance floor, but forgot she isn't likely to comply... so sits down again] Well... this has all the earmarks of one of the great nights of my life.
- Sue Ellen Ewing: Nothing brings out the best in you like other people's unhappiness.
- JR Ewing: Gmph!
- Lucy Ewing Cooper: I think Bobby might just take you apart if you keep it up.
- JR Ewing: Oh, not in front of the next Mrs. Ewing, he won't.
- [smiles]
- Lucy Ewing Cooper: [frowns] You mean Jenna Wade?
- JR Ewing: Nothing would make me happier.
- [chuckles]
- Katherine Wentworth: [at the opposite table] Who is that Jenna Wade? Pam was certainly upset when she saw Bobby with her.
- Cliff Barnes: Oh, that's Bobby's first love. They grew up together. They were supposed to get married.
- Afton Cooper: So why didn't they?
- Cliff Barnes: I don't know. Well, I wasn't exactly taken into the Ewing's conference, but the way I heard it was that she jilted Bobby and then she goes off to Europe and married some count and then they got divorced. She shows up in Dallas with a daughter who's supposed to be his, but she calls herself Wade.
- Katherine Wentworth: What do you mean "supposed to be"? It's someone else's?
- Cliff Barnes: Well, the daughter is thirteen years old, and that's how long she and Bobby would have been married.
- Katherine Wentworth: You mean it's Bobby's daughter?
- Cliff Barnes: [chuckles] Well, everybody denies that... but who really knows but Jenna?
- Katherine Wentworth: [smirks] It's no wonder Pam's so upset.
- [looks over at the dancing couple]
- Pamela Barnes Ewing: I was just surprised, that's all.
- Mark Graison: Is that so? If I didn't know any better, I'd think you were jealous of Jenna Wade.
- Pamela Barnes Ewing: I am not. I just don't understand why Bobby brought her here and had to flaunt her.
- Mark Graison: Perhaps for the same reason we're here together. Neither one of you wanted to show up alone.
- Pamela Barnes Ewing: That's not true, Mark. I really care about you.
- Mark Graison: Well, then I suggest that since you and Bobby are no longer married, you try to put him and Jenna out of your mind and concentrate on me.
- Pamela Barnes Ewing: Well, that's exactly what I'm going to do.
- [smiles up at him]
- Pamela Barnes Ewing: Let's go back to the table and help Cliff celebrate his big night.
- Mark Graison: Perhaps later we'll celebrate ours, maybe?
- Pamela Barnes Ewing: [smiles] Maybe we should.
- Ray Krebbs: [as they dance] Hey, I think it's just what I need, is a good fight. Help me get rid of some of these pressures.
- Donna Culver Krebbs: Can't you think of something other than that?
- Ray Krebbs: Well, sure, but not in front of all these people.
- [chuckles]
- Ray Krebbs: Besides, I think J.R.'s just gonna keep pushing them until he starts something here tonight.
- Donna Culver Krebbs: Well, I'll tell you what, you can hit somebody as long as it's J.R.
- [Ray chuckles]
- Jenna Wade: Are you going through this entire dance without talking?
- Bobby Ewing: I can't dance and talk at the same time.
- Jenna Wade: Oh, is that like walking and chewing gum?
- Bobby Ewing: I guess so, a little bit.
- Jenna Wade: So... how did it feel? And don't say "what?"
- Bobby Ewing: [sighs] You mean, to see Pam?
- Jenna Wade: That's what I mean. Are you with the right date tonight?
- Bobby Ewing: Listen, if I didn't wanna do this I wouldn't have asked you to come here. Pam and I are divorced, you know.
- Jenna Wade: Lots of people who are divorced love each other. Are you one of them?
- Bobby Ewing: Don't you ask any simple questions?
- Jenna Wade: Did I ever?
- Bobby Ewing: No, I was hoping you'd changed a little bit.
- Jenna Wade: Well, then?
- Bobby Ewing: Do you really wanna know?
- Jenna Wade: Not really, but I think I have to.
- Bobby Ewing: [sighs] It hurt to see her with someone else.
- Jenna Wade: [face falls] Maybe I shouldn't have asked.
- Bobby Ewing: No, no, no, come on. You know me. It takes me a little while to get over feelings like that. It took me a long time to get over you the first time.
- Jenna Wade: Do you think I'm gonna say it's better the second time around?
- Bobby Ewing: Yes.
- Jenna Wade: [snickers] Maybe you're right.
