- 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.
- Kristin Shepard: I'll kill him. I swear I'll kill him.
- Alan Beam: Take a number. There are a few of us ahead of you.
- Sue Ellen Ewing: [talking to Dr. Ellby about J.R] Don't you see? He's gotta be stopped. He's gonna teach my son to be just like he is and it's gonna go on and on and on!
- J.R. Ewing: [quietly] Bobby's getting weak, Daddy. Just plain weak. Doesn't hardly sound like a Ewing any more.
- [Jock nods sorrowfully]
- Sue Ellen Ewing: I wanna tell you something, Dr Ellby. You've been right all along. I can't rely on anyone else to do what I have to do.
- 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!
- Bobby Ewing: There's nothing to talk about, Daddy. Unless you want to talk about decency or morality and they don't seem to be words we use around here.
- Bobby Ewing: I've put up with all the wheeling and dealing and back stabbing I'm going to we leave in the morning.
- Alan Beam: [at door] Hi, Kristin.
- Kristin Shepard: Come on in.
- Alan Beam: Interesting, isn't it?
- [newspaper with headline Ewing Oil Empire Collapses]
- Kristin Shepard: That's old news. Been on the TV, radio. J.R. wasn't hurt. He sold those leases.
- Alan Beam: What are you talking about? When?
- Kristin Shepard: Couple of days ago.
- Alan Beam: How do you know?
- Kristin Shepard: I've had... guests.
- [has secret recording]
- Kristin Shepard: Listen.
- Andy Bradley: [on tape] J.R. finally let us in on the Asian deal. I'm gonna be a rich man.
- Kristin Shepard: [on tape] How come?
- Andy Bradley: [on tape] Some new deal in the works. Says he needs the cash.
- [Kristin switches off]
- Alan Beam: Who is that?
- Kristin Shepard: One of the cartel members. Andy Bradley.
- Alan Beam: Oh, J.R. must have had advance information those wells would be nationalized.
- Kristin Shepard: I've been trying to figure that out all morning. Maybe Hank Johnson tipped him off.
- Alan Beam: Who's Hank Johnson?
- Kristin Shepard: J.R.'s man in the Far East. He was in charge of the oil wells.
- Alan Beam: Who bought the leases?
- Kristin Shepard: Who else? J.R.'s closest friends and associates.
- Alan Beam: I'll bet those friends and associates would be very interested to know that J.R. had been warned in advance.
- Kristin Shepard: They'd string him up.
- Alan Beam: I'll bet that J.R. would pay plenty to keep them from knowing.
- Kristin Shepard: We have no proof. J.R.'s too smart for that. He covered his tracks.
- Alan Beam: Maybe not. Maybe not. See if you can get Hank Johnson on the phone.
- Kristin Shepard: [picks up receiver] Overseas operator, please.
