Larry Hagman: J.R. Ewing

Quotes 

• [first lines] 

  J.R. Ewing : [as Jamie, packed and ready to leave, comes down the stairs]  Well...

  [chuckles happily] 

  Miss Ellie Ewing : [she and Clayton arrives at that moment]  Why, Jamie, what are you doing?

  J.R. Ewing : She's leaving, Mama. Good riddance.

  Miss Ellie Ewing : [turns to face J.R]  Why?

  Jamie Ewing : J.R. and I just can't seem to get along. He told me to leave.

  Clayton Farlow : Just like that? Come on, Jamie, tell us what happened.

  Jamie Ewing : [looks at J.R., but refrains from telling]  It doesn't matter what else happened. He's right, I don't belong here.

  [J.R. smirks] 

  Miss Ellie Ewing : Jamie, it is not J.R.'s place to tell anyone to leave. This is my home, and I've been very happy that you're here.

  J.R. Ewing : Mama, she wants to leave, why are you trying to stop her?

  Miss Ellie Ewing : She's family!

  J.R. Ewing : Well, family or no, I don't want her sponging off of us anymore.

  Miss Ellie Ewing : She has not sponged off us.

  J.R. Ewing : Oh? I wonder how many $500 dresses she has hanging up in her closet? Not to mention the new car, of course. But, uh... I suppose you gave the keys back to Sue Ellen, didn't you?

  Jamie Ewing : I asked her if I could borrow it for a while. Don't worry, I'll get it back to you as soon as I can. I sure don't want anything that belongs to you.

  J.R. Ewing : Well, maybe I will look in that duffel bag of yours to see if there's any family silver in there.

  Jamie Ewing : [seething]  You know, you really are the pits!

  Miss Ellie Ewing : J.R., that's a terrible thing to say! I want you to apologize!

  J.R. Ewing : The hell I will. The sooner she's out of here, the better.

  [turns, leaves] 

  Clayton Farlow : J.R.!

  Miss Ellie Ewing : Clayton, please... Don't.

  [to Jamie:] 

  Miss Ellie Ewing : Despite J.R., I want you to know you are perfectly welcome to stay here.

  Jamie Ewing : Thanks, Miss Ellie, I know that you do mean that, and I appreciate it, but... I don't wanna stay here in the middle of any more battles. Thanks.

  [hugs her] 

  Clayton Farlow : Is there anything you need? Money to tide you over, a place to stay?

  Jamie Ewing : No, thanks, Clayton, I'll be okay. It's about time I started to make it on my own anyway. Bye.

  Clayton Farlow : Bye.

  Miss Ellie Ewing : [after Jamie has gone]  Why, J.R.? What brought this on?

  J.R. Ewing : Mama, that little girl is a snoop and a liar. You saw how close she was getting to Sue Ellen.

  Clayton Farlow : Why does that bother you?

  J.R. Ewing : Because she is filling her head full of nonsense, talking about things that are not her damn business!
