Quotes 

• Sue Ellen Ewing : Tell me, J.R., which slut are you going to stay with tonight?

  J.R. Ewing : What difference does it make? Whoever it is has got to be more interesting than the slut I'm looking at right now.

• J.R. Ewing : [quietly]  Bobby's getting weak, Daddy. Just plain weak. Doesn't hardly sound like a Ewing any more.

  [Jock nods sorrowfully] 

• Vaughn Leland : It was crooked! And I believe you knew that! You'll regret this!

  J.R. Ewing : Is that a threat, Vaughn?

  Vaughn Leland : No threat. A promise!

• J.R. Ewing : [to Sue Ellen]  I swear, you're heading at ninety miles an hour towards a nervous breakdown. Gonna have to do something about those ravings of yours.

• J.R. Ewing : You've got something to tell me?

  [grabs her] 

  Kristin Shepard : Look, J.R., that hurt!

  J.R. Ewing : Fess up, honey.

  Kristin Shepard : What is it?

  J.R. Ewing : I want some answers from you.

  Kristin Shepard : I don't know what you're talking about.

  J.R. Ewing : All right, all right, I'll give you a hint. Hank Johnson just called.

  [gets deer in the headlights look from Kristin] 

  Kristin Shepard : I didn't want to do it, J.R. Alan made me. He threatened to tell Jock about us. Our love affair. I was only protecting you.

  J.R. Ewing : You think you were gonna blackmail me? You and Alan Beam? You're out of your league, honey. You're gonna be sorry you even thought of that.

  Kristin Shepard : [voice quavering]  You can't scare me.

  J.R. Ewing : Takes brains to know when to be scared, honey. And since that's something in short supply around here, I'm gonna help you.

  [ominous tone:] 

  J.R. Ewing : Now is the time to be scared.

  [hands her cash] 

  J.R. Ewing : Exciting weather this time of year down in Rio. Put on one of those pretty string bikinis. You could last at least a year on one of those rich Brazilian businessmen.

  Kristin Shepard : One day somebody's gonna stop you, and I hope I'm there to watch it!

  [throws the money back at him] 

  Kristin Shepard : No way you're gonna buy me off!

  J.R. Ewing : We'll see!
