Patrick Duffy: Bobby Ewing

Quotes 

• 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]
