-
Pamela Barnes Ewing : [on phone] Mr. Mackey, are you sure this woman is my mother?
-
Bobby Ewing : [entering bedroom after Pamela, sighs:] Honey, you're all wound up. You hardly touched your dinner. Don't leave tonight. Wait till morning.
Pamela Barnes Ewing : Bobby, Ive waited all my life to see this woman.
Bobby Ewing : Well, it would be better for you if you saw her when you're calmer. Now what if Mackey made a mistake? And even if he didn't, she might not be the kind of woman you think she is.
Pamela Barnes Ewing : [fiery] I don't care what kind of woman she is. My mother's alive. I want to see her.
Bobby Ewing : [sighs] I wish I could go with you.
Pamela Barnes Ewing : [quite sarcastic] Well, I'm sure the airline would sell you a ticket.
Bobby Ewing : Honey, I can't leave now. You know that. Not with the wells still on fire. I've got Scotty Hawthorne flying in with a crack fire-shooting crew. There's too much going on for me to leave.
Pamela Barnes Ewing : There always is lately.
Bobby Ewing : Now, wait a minute. You know what Ewing 23 means to us.
Pamela Barnes Ewing : Means to you, not to us.
Bobby Ewing : Honey, I have to be here to make sure that nothing else goes wrong.
Pamela Barnes Ewing : Look, Bobby, I understand. I don't wanna burden you with my problems, okay?
Bobby Ewing : [suddenly very attentive] Will you be home by Wednesday?
Pamela Barnes Ewing : Probably. Why?
Bobby Ewing : It's a fund-raising thing for Dave Culver. Daddy would like us to be there.
Pamela Barnes Ewing : Hmm.
[nods]
Pamela Barnes Ewing : Well, I'll be home then. I wouldn't want to disappoint your family.
[said in a very cool way]

Pamela Barnes Ewing : [to Mackey] I know I keep asking you the same question over and over again. But are you sure this Rebecca Burke is my mother?
