Dallas

J.R.: Oh, I explained all that to you. It's strictly business. James: No, it's lying. That's what it's all about. You lying to Cally. Diana lying to her husband. It's a way of life here in Texas. J.R.: It's a way of life all over the world, son.

Bobby: Mrs. McKay? Rose: You sound surprised. Bobby: I was surprised to find out Carter McKay was married. Rose: Ah, especially to someone like me, right? Bobby: I didn't say that. Rose: But I ain't what you expected. Bobby: Actually, considering everything I've heard, you are exactly what I expected.

Michelle: Like I said, I have some information for you. Bobby: About what? Michelle: Cliff Barnes. McKay is blackmailing him. Bobby: How? Michelle: He has a tape of Cliff romping with Mrs. McKay in a hotel room. Bobby: McKay isn't married. Michelle: According to Cliff, he is. Bobby: So he set him up with his own wife? Michelle: Real class act, huh?

April: I think just a small wedding, only family, a few friends. Bobby: Oh, ho ho. That could be fine. You could have Michelle as your maid of honor and I could have J.R. as my best man. April: (laughing) On second thought, I think we should elope.

Diana: Listen, look at it on the bright side. You wanted me to stop sleeping with J.R. Well, after tonight, I think you may have gotten your wish. James: Oh, that makes me feel a lot better. You two are the cheaters and I'm the one who gets caught. Diana: Lesson #2: Never ever be the innocent bystander.

Diana: (about James) He's a nice boy, J.R. J.R.: Yeah. He has an integrity problem, but I'm working on it.

Diana: You do know how to give people what they want, don't you? J.R.: Ha ha. It's a gift acquired after many years of practice. Diana: Now refined to an art.

Billy Joe: Middleton, he's one of them uptight guys with high-falutin' moral values. I keep telling him we're investigating oil companies, ain't no need for ethics in this thing. J.R.: (chuckling) Well, that's a fact.

Bobby: What's going on in Austin, James? James: Just the usual, I guess... cheating, bribing, whatever it takes. Bobby: J.R.'s school of business.

J.R.: Listen, if you don't do things my way, you're going to be burying Ewing Oil. Bobby: Well, your way doesn't work as long as Cliff Barnes is at the head of that committee. Now, get out of my office! J.R.: I can't believe you're my daddy's son. You just don't have his guts. Bobby: I got enough guts to bounce you out of here, now get.

McKay: What in the hell did you do to yourself? Rose: Oh, you don't like it? McKay: No! I like you the way you were. Rose: Well, that lady doesn't live here anymore. The one that loved you and wanted to do anything for you. There's nobody here but your whore.

April: No ring? Bobby: Come here. How about tomorrow? April: I'll you what, why don't we wait until this whole thing with Cliff Barnes blows over and the pressures's off and then you can come over with a ring and ask me to marry you all over again? Now, is that fair? Bobby: By then, I might not have enough to buy you much of a ring. April: It doesn't have to be much. It doesn't even have to be a diamond. It just has to be official.
