Audrey Landers: Afton Cooper

Quotes 

• Afton Cooper : [pillow talk]  Cliff? Are you sleeping?

  [strokes his shoulder] 

  Cliff Barnes : [still sleepy]  Yeah...

  Afton Cooper : [chuckles]  I just wanted to tell you I had... a nice time.

  Cliff Barnes : Me too.

  Afton Cooper : You know something? You're about the best lover I've ever had.

  Cliff Barnes : Is that so?

  Afton Cooper : Mm-hmm.

  Cliff Barnes : Even better than J.R.?

  Afton Cooper : Much. You're more considerate, more tender. Especially since J.R. started chasing that Leslie Stewart.

  [exhales] 

  Afton Cooper : I guess he caught her, because he dumped me.

  Cliff Barnes : For her? Wow, can't understand why.

  Afton Cooper : I can. I know I'm pretty, but I'm not smart.

  Cliff Barnes : That's funny, I never thought J.R. got turned on by brains.

  Afton Cooper : Well, you know. Sometimes he'd have business problems on his mind... and I just couldn't help him at all.

  Cliff Barnes : [interest vaguely piqued]  What kind of business?

  Afton Cooper : Different things. Like all those phone calls from... foreign countries with funny names.

  Cliff Barnes : [eyes light up]  Afton... why don't I get up and make us some scrambled eggs and some toast... and I'll bet you and I can find a lot to talk about.

  Afton Cooper : I'd rather you held me.

  [he snuggles up, she chuckles contentedly] 

  Afton Cooper : That's better.

  [strokes his back] 

  Cliff Barnes : [sensing blood - J.R.'s!]  I guess J.R. was on the phone a lot during your evening's together.

  Afton Cooper : Afternoons.

  Cliff Barnes : [closing in]  We're any of those calls to Southeast Asia?

  Afton Cooper : I think so.

  [happy smile, they kiss]
