Mary Crosby: Kristin Shepard

Quotes 

• Kristin Shepard : [sits reading book as J.R. enters her apartment]  Well, I never expected you.

  J.R. Ewing : Surprise is the spice of life, sugar.

  [snatches book away] 

  J.R. Ewing : Come on.

  [heads to her bedroom] 

  Kristin Shepard : Hey. Hey, wait a minute. You can't just walk in here and expect me to go right to bed with you. You've got to understand that I'm not just here for your convenience. I'm a person with rights, J.R.

  [clothes start flying past her face as J.R. starts getting ready for bed] 

  Kristin Shepard : We made a deal, remember? And I am not going to go to bed with you again until you divorce Sue Ellen and marry me.

  [folds her arms] 

  Kristin Shepard : Look, she is obviously a hopeless alcoholic. You're gonna have to commit her, and you know it. There's no reason for you not to keep your promise. You need a wife who knows you the way I do,

  [brushes back her hair with her hands] 

  Kristin Shepard : who can help you the way I can.

  [with disgust:] 

  Kristin Shepard : A wife who shares more than just your bed. J.R., you're not listening to me!

  J.R. Ewing : That's right.

  Kristin Shepard : I mean it! I'm serious! I'm not gonna go to bed with you again until we're married!

  [he pulls her into bed] 

  Kristin Shepard : J.R.!

  J.R. Ewing : Kristin, shut up.

• Vaughn Leland : [as Kristin stands before mirror with necklace]  Oh, here, let me help you with that.

  Kristin Shepard : [forcing herself to be polite]  Thank you.

  Vaughn Leland : [old gentleman is every bit the predator as he stands behind her]  I didn't know you lived here.

  Kristin Shepard : Only temporarily. The Ewings use this for the occasional business meeting.

  Vaughn Leland : I see.

  Kristin Shepard : What's this one about?

  Vaughn Leland : Well, I have no idea. J.R. just said that it was, uh...

  [fixes necklace] 

  Vaughn Leland : highly... confidential. Here, let me look.

  [his hands on her shoulders as she faces him] 

  Vaughn Leland : Very pretty.

  Kristin Shepard : Thank you. It was a present... from a friend.

  Vaughn Leland : A very good friend.

  J.R. Ewing : [entering]  Well, Vaughn, glad you could come.

  Vaughn Leland : My pleasure, J.R.

  J.R. Ewing : [to Kristin]  How about some coffee, darling?

  Kristin Shepard : There's some already made.

  J.R. Ewing : Well, would you fetch us a couple of cups?

  [as she slinks off, to Vaughn:] 

  J.R. Ewing : If you can get your mind back on business, I've got a little proposition I'd like to talk to you about.
