- Bobby Ewing: [J.R. is elated after sealing a refinery deal with Chris Mainwaring] J.R., if marriage is the basis for that deal, you better find some other terms and fast.
- J.R. Ewing: What are you talking about?
- Bobby Ewing: Kit's going to stop the wedding.
- J.R. Ewing: Oh, no, he's not. That boy's gonna marry Lucy no matter what.
- Bobby Ewing: No, he's not, J.R., and it's better for her that he doesn't.
- J.R. Ewing: Now, don't tell me no. This refinery is just beginning. We've got a lot at stake here.
- Bobby Ewing: And what about Lucy?
- J.R. Ewing: Lucy? What's she got to do with this?
- Bobby Ewing: It's her life we're talking about!
- J.R. Ewing: [breathes a sigh of condescending resignation] Bobby, c'mon. Women marry homosexuals all the time. It seems to suit a lot of 'em. Now, she's in love with this boy, she's gonna marry him. Lucy's gonna be all right. It's gonna be just fine.
- Bobby Ewing: You knew about this all the time, didn't ya?
- J.R. Ewing: Well, there's very little that goes on in Dallas that I don't know about. And when it comes to somebody as important to me as Mainwaring, I make it my business to find out everything about him.
- Bobby Ewing: Just when I think I know how low you are, J.R., you surprise me and reach a whole new depth.
- J.R. Ewing: Bobby, there's no need to become insulting. I have everybody's interests at heart, you know that. And like I said, Lucy's gonna be just fine.
- Kit Mainwaring: I've got to call off the wedding. And I don't know how to tell Lucy.
- Bobby Ewing: What do you mean "got to"?
- Kit Mainwaring: I just can't go through with it.
- Bobby Ewing: Oh, c'mon, Kit. There's got to be a reason. There's got to be some kind of explanation.
- Kit Mainwaring: I just wish you'd take my word on this, Bobby. It's not the best thing.
- Bobby Ewing: You know what this is going to do to Lucy? You better think of something better than you changed your mind.
- Kit Mainwaring: [walks slowly to the window, pauses, turns] This is very hard, Bobby. Very difficult. I'm a homosexual.
- [long pause]
- Kit Mainwaring: Bobby, now, it would really help me if you could say something now.
- Bobby Ewing: [stunned] I will... as soon as I think of something to say. You've sort of taken me by surprise.
- Lucy Ewing: [Kit and Lucy are kissing when J.R.'s car pulls into the driveway] Oh, shoot. My uncle J.R.
- Kit Mainwaring: So what?
- Lucy Ewing: Nothing makes him meaner than the sight of people enjoying themselves.
- Bobby Ewing: [watching Kit and Lucy disco dancing] Y'know, the more I see of that kid the more I like him.
- Pamela Barnes Ewing: Me too. He's so nice! Now, I don't understand those rumors a few years ago about his family having so much trouble with him.
- Bobby Ewing: It was just the usual thing. He was a rich kid who didn't want to get involved in the family business. Played around, drank a little too much. I think he's settled down now.
- Pamela Barnes Ewing: Sounds like somebody I know.
- Bobby Ewing: [laughs] But my folks thought I was exceptionally cute.
- Kit Mainwaring: I really didn't mean for this to happen, Bobby. When I started going out with Lucy it was because I thought it would be good for my image. But then things changed. I mean, she's so full of life. When she wants something she goes for it. So I started out admiring Lucy, and ended up loving her. And I thought she woulld change my life for me.
- Bobby Ewing: Well, what changed your mind?
- Kit Mainwaring: [pauses, hesitating, weighing his words] I slept with Lucy last night. But it didn't do what I expected. It didn't change anything. I'm the same person today I was yesterday. I'm still a homosexual. It's just not fair for me to marry her.
- Sue Ellen Ewing: You're overdoing this "Mr. Nice Guy," J.R. Someone might suspect you're up to something.
- J.R. Ewing: [at the big party, J.R. sidles up to Chris Mainwaring] We ought to get together at the club, play a little racquetball and have a drink, or talk, or whatever, you know?
- Chris Mainwaring: Well, it certainly wouldn't hurt, J.R., to wait until we're sure we have something to talk about.
- Lucy Ewing: [a short distance off, Lucy squeals with delight] Of course, Kit, yes!
- J.R. Ewing: Well, from the sound of Lucy, we shouldn't have to wait too long.
- Lucy Ewing: [Lucy, dragging Kit by the hand, runs up to her family] Let's go tell everybody right away! I can't wait to tell everybody! Guess what, you guys? Guess what, everybody? Kit has asked me to get married and I said YES!
- J.R. Ewing: You've made mistakes in the past, Kit. There's no sense in repeating 'em. Like they say, there's nothing like the love of a good woman to keep a man's feet firmly on the right path.
- Lucy Ewing: Kit, do you really have to take me home?
- Kit Mainwaring: Yeah, I don't think it would be a very good idea for you to stay.
- Lucy Ewing: Why not, hmm?
- [they kiss, but after a short while, he breaks away]
- Lucy Ewing: What's the matter?
- Kit Mainwaring: You're awfully young, Lucy.
- Lucy Ewing: We've been seeing each other for a while now. You said you cared about me. Didn't you mean it?
- Kit Mainwaring: Yes, I did mean it.
- [but looks troubled]
- Lucy Ewing: You don't want me?
- Kit Mainwaring: I don't know what I'm supposed to do here now. Do you want me to treat you like you're cheap or something? Would that make you happy?
- Lucy Ewing: [all big eyes] No. No, that wouldn't make me happy.
- Kit Mainwaring: I do care about you, you know. Very much.
- Lucy Ewing: Do you really?
- Kit Mainwaring: Yes, I really do. And I'm not gonna do anything as long as I think it might hurt you.
- [they kiss again]
- J.R. Ewing: I understand your Daddy's building a new oil refinery down on the Gulf?
- Kit Mainwaring: We filed the environmental impact report. It's looking pretty good right now.
- Lucy Ewing: [petulantly] Now, you two aren't gonna start talking business, are you?
- J.R. Ewing: Of course not. I'm not gonna ruin your evening, now... I figure you kids are getting tired of us old folks, so I think I'll just fold up Sue Ellen and we'll steal away into the night. Oh, I, uhm, called Jimmy's Disco, said you might be dropping in. Lucy said you like to dance there, and... and you guys go and have a good time. It's on me.
- Kit Mainwaring: Thank you.
