- Punk Anderson: [after Afton sang C'est Magnifique] You know, that's what I call real pretty singing. Don't y'all think so?
- J.R. Ewing: Oh, real nice, real nice.
- 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]
- J.R. Ewing: [after Ray assures him he can match Punk Anderson's business savvy] Pays to have Ewing blood in your veins. No matter how it got there.
- J.R. Ewing: [looking at little John Ross] Handsome little devil, isn't he?
- Sue Ellen Ewing: He has eyes exactly like yours, J.R. It's the first thing that attracted me to you.
- J.R. Ewing: Is that so? I thought it was my money.
- Sue Ellen Ewing: [smiles] Well, I had several suitors with lots of money. No, it was your eyes. They always seemed to be hidin' secrets. Things you knew about the world that no one else knew.
- J.R. Ewing: Sue Ellen, what are you talking about?
- Sue Ellen Ewing: You know something? My mama didn't want me to marry you at first.
- J.R. Ewing: Don't tell me she wanted you to marry... that poor boy you were going around with, what's-his-name? Clint something or the other?
- Sue Ellen Ewing: No, no, not him. She had, uh, Billy Frompton picked out for me.
- J.R. Ewing: [snickers] Billy Frompton. Billy turned into a blimp.
- Sue Ellen Ewing: I know. But his daddy was loaded. He had oil and uranium and diamonds and coal and things like that.
- J.R. Ewing: And you picked me because of my eyes?
- Sue Ellen Ewing: And because of the way you speak.
- [picking an imaginary piece of lint from his shirt]
- Sue Ellen Ewing: You know, every time you talked to me... I got the shivers.
- [he turns away from mirror, goes to sit on bed, lies back]
- Sue Ellen Ewing: You know, J.R., I've always wanted to ask you something. With all those ladies in the state of Texas after you...
- [sits down next to him]
- Sue Ellen Ewing: Why me?
- J.R. Ewing: Well, once upon a time... I was a judge in the Miss Texas beauty contest. And after a while, you run all those girls through the contest, and it... It looks like a cattle auction in Fort Worth.
- Sue Ellen Ewing: I felt the same way too.
- J.R. Ewing: [sighs] Then we got down to the... bathing suit category. And all those pretty little girls prancing around, trying to look sexy... But then there you were, Sue Ellen, not trying to do anything. Just.. just looking more sexy than any of them. And you had something else. You looked like a lady. And the combination was... devastating.
