- JR Ewing: [after Mitch walked out on Lucy] Lost another one, did you, sugar? Hell, I got to hand it to you, you sure can pick them. A pansy, a crook, and an up-and-coming pauper. You are a veritable magnet for losers and failures.
- Lucy Ewing Cooper: At least I can't do any worse than Sue Ellen, can I?
- 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?
- Muriel Gillis: [to Lucy] Mitch is still waters. You are... Ewing Oil. The two of those cannot be mixed in a blender.
