Quotes 

• Sue Ellen Ewing : [to Mandy]  Isn't it strange how the mistress always thinks she's smarter than the wife? If she's so smart, why is she the mistress?

• Sue Ellen Ewing : Mandy? I'm Sue Ellen Ewing.

  Mandy Winger : I know.

  Sue Ellen Ewing : May we talk?

  Mandy Winger : Why?

  Sue Ellen Ewing : I have something to tell you which may be helpful. You're not the first girlfriend J.R. has had.

  Mandy Winger : That's helpful?

  Sue Ellen Ewing : I've, seen the way he's treated all of them.

  Mandy Winger : Look, this time it's different.

  Sue Ellen Ewing : Is it?

  Mandy Winger : Yes, it is. J.R. and I love each other. And you just don't *know* him the way I do.

  Sue Ellen Ewing : Mandy...

  [smiles] 

  Sue Ellen Ewing : I know J.R. every which way there is to know him. And he's never gonna change. Never! He's gonna use you like he used all the others. Unless you walk out, and never come back.

  Mandy Winger : [sighs]  You really want me out of the way, don't you?

  Sue Ellen Ewing : Not for the reasons you think. I *don't* want him back. Mandy, I'm telling you this for your own good. Because J.R. destroys every woman he goes to bed with. It's by the grace of *God* that he didn't destroy me. Don't let him do it to you.

  Mandy Winger : Thanks for the advice.

  [tearfully:] 

  Mandy Winger : You'll forgive me if I don't take it, because I don't know what the hell you're talking about!

  Sue Ellen Ewing : Isn't it strange how the mistress always thinks she's as smart as the wife? If she's so smart... why is she the mistress?

  [Mandy runs off] 

• Sue Ellen Ewing : For all I care, you can throw Mandy WInger down in the middle of the arena and make love to her in front of your family and friends.
