Alex Ward : [in restaurant] It's been good being with you here, Pam. Not... precisely what I'd hoped for, but still... I'm sorry It's over. Well, almost over.
Pamela Barnes Ewing : It's been nice being here.
Alex Ward : But you're anxious to go back to your husband.
Pamela Barnes Ewing : Well, I don't know if Bobby's gonna be there. He's so wrapped up in this solar energy thing, I don't know when I'll see him.
Alex Ward : Most wives would say that with at least a touch of bitterness. You didn't.
Pamela Barnes Ewing : Well, I'm not bitter.
Alex Ward : Aren't most neglected wives bitter?
Pamela Barnes Ewing : I'm not like most wives.
Alex Ward : You're not like any other woman.
[places his hand over hers]
Pamela Barnes Ewing : Alex, Bobby doesn't mean to neglect me. It's just, he gets so wrapped up in other things.
Alex Ward : But he does neglect you.
Pamela Barnes Ewing : Occasionally.
Alex Ward : Then he's a fool. Occasionally.

Jackie Dugan : I admit it. I'm surprised.
Pamela Barnes Ewing : Surprised about what?
Jackie Dugan : I saw you and Alex in the bar. I thought for sure you were headed for a long night.
Pamela Barnes Ewing : Are you kidding? That was just a friendly drink.
Jackie Dugan : Call it friendly if you want to, but, Pam, the man goes for you. It's written all over him. And that's why I can't understand why he's just disappeared like this.
Pamela Barnes Ewing : You, dear heart, are an incurable romantic. And also dead wrong. Alex is just a friend.
Jackie Dugan : [at Pam's hotel door] Sure. Night, Pam.

Pamela Barnes Ewing : [sees him checking out] Alex?
Alex Ward : [chipper but formal] Good morning.
Pamela Barnes Ewing : What's going on? We've still got a full day's shoot left.
Alex Ward : Yeah, uh... Bell-man, would you get these bags, and I'll need a cab to the airport. I'll be right out.
Pamela Barnes Ewing : Why are you leaving?
Alex Ward : I don't think there's any more reason for me to stay.
Pamela Barnes Ewing : Is it because of last night? I thought you'd understand.
Alex Ward : Oh, I do. That's why I'm leaving.
Pamela Barnes Ewing : Alex...
Alex Ward : Pam... I wanna be absolutely honest with you.
Pamela Barnes Ewing : I'm not sure I want to hear this.
Alex Ward : All my life, I have been the one that's pursued, and that's not ego. It's just a statement of fact. But since we met, and especially the last couple of nights here, it's... it's been all one-sided. I've... been doing the pursuing. Obviously, not well enough.
Pamela Barnes Ewing : I'm so sorry. I'm just not ready. You know that.
Alex Ward : Yes, I do. And you know how I feel about you, Pam. I made that clear.
[looks down, then at her again:]
Alex Ward : If Bobby ever... really neglects you... call me.
[walks away, leaving Pamela staring after him sadly]

Bobby Ewing : [in bedroom, while Pamela's unpacking] And I think Donna's right. It's a chance for me to really stand up and fight for what I believe in. Honey, you haven't said two words. Is something the matter?
Pamela Barnes Ewing : Well, it's a big decision, Bobby.
Bobby Ewing : I know it. I know it is, and it's very exciting.
[chuckles]
Pamela Barnes Ewing : You know this could affect our lives, and you didn't even think to talk to me about it?
Bobby Ewing : That would have been difficult, wouldn't it? With you down on the Gulf Coast, playing with Alex Ward.
Pamela Barnes Ewing : Who said I was playing?
Bobby Ewing : Doesn't matter. But it's true, isn't it?
Pamela Barnes Ewing : Alex was at the hotel.
Bobby Ewing : Damn it, Pam. How could you do that?
Pamela Barnes Ewing : Do what?
Bobby Ewing : Alex was with you. You must have spent a lot of time together.
Pamela Barnes Ewing : Yes, we did, and if you're going to tell me I was wrong, don't.
Bobby Ewing : You didn't think it was wrong to spend time with Alex?
Pamela Barnes Ewing : Did you think it was wrong when you were seeing Jenna Wade?
Bobby Ewing : Now what are you dragging her into this for?
Pamela Barnes Ewing : Because it is the same situation. It wasn't planned. It just happened.
Bobby Ewing : The two of you... alone together in a hotel. Pam, you could have stopped it. Why didn't you?
Pamela Barnes Ewing : Stopped what? Are you asking me if I slept with Alex?
Bobby Ewing : Did you?
Pamela Barnes Ewing : No. But I almost did. And do you want to know why, Bobby? Because I have been very lonely.
Bobby Ewing : Lonely?
Pamela Barnes Ewing : Lonely! Sometimes even when you're with me, I feel alone. And that's why I spent so much time with Alex. And that's why I almost went to bed with him.
Bobby Ewing : I see.
Pamela Barnes Ewing : I'm glad I didn't, because I know how you'd feel. I know how I felt when you were seeing Jenna.
Bobby Ewing : Pamela...
[rushes towards her]
Pamela Barnes Ewing : Oh, wait a minute, Bobby, let me finish. I found out something. That no matter how many problems we have...
[looking up into his eyes:]
Pamela Barnes Ewing : I love you and only you. And I'll never see Alex Ward again.
[shakes her head, then gets kissed]
