Cally: Are you moving in? James: Cally, don't look so down. My mother's gone back to Vienna. Of course, now you'll be seeing a lot more of me. Cally: Well, in... in that case, um, welcome to Southfork. James: Thanks, I hope to be around here for a while. Uh, Cally? There's one more thing. Do I call you "Mom"?
Michele: Look, do me a favor, send my stuff over here. I'm moving in with Cliff. April: Talk about taking sides. Michelle: Listen, we both bought cruise tickets. Too bad you chose the wrong boat.
April: You betrayed the man I love. Cliff: Oh, ho, sounds like a Country and Western song. You want to hum me a few bars?
McKay: I'm going to give you something that money can't buy. You can call on me for one favor - anytime. Anything. Michelle: And what if I ask for that favor in cash? McKay: Then it would prove to me that you're a nickel-and-dime player and you don't belong in the game. Michelle: Okay, I'll take it. But believe me, I'll call on you for something big. McKay: I'd be disappointed if you didn't.
Michelle: We had a deal. J.R.: And you screwed it up. Michelle: You're not so bright yourself, J.R. If Cliff forms this investigation committee, he's gonna stick it to you and stick it hard. J.R.: He'll never get it off the ground. Michelle: Oh, he will. He's motivated, he's angry. You're his reason for living. He wants to sink you deeper than that tanker. J.R.: You gonna help him? Michelle: Think of Cliff as a missile pointed at your head... only it's my finger on the button. You made a bad mistake, J.R.
Bobby: I don't care what it costs. I'm tired of oil men being thought of as greedy and uncaring. Now, it's time we showed them what we're capable of. J.R.: Well, you'll show them that you're capable of gross stupidity.
J.R.: You're taking the fall or you're a dead man. Halliday: Well, now, you wouldn't be threatening my life, would you, J.R.? You could go to jail for that. J.R.: Ha ha ha. No, I never use physical violence. When I set out to destroy somebody, I tear their lives apart piece by piece. When I'm finished with you, you're going to beg me to put you out of your misery.
Cliff: (regarding J.R. and Cally) I'll give that marriage another six minutes. Michelle: Why are you so optimistic?
Lucy: (to J.R.) Oh, this is great. All these years of sticking it to Ray, calling him "half-breed." Now, you've got your own illegitimate son. Congratulations. Cliff: You got my congrats, too. Mm-hmm. God, it's kind of... kind of a miracle that none of your other little bastards haven't showed up before now. After all these years, you must have knocked up half the women in Dallas.
Barbara Bel Geddes (Miss Ellie) is absent from this episode.
After J.R. and Bobby do the interview with the TV station, J.R. opines that they could become the next "Huntley-Brinkley," referring to NBC's evening news from 1956 to 1970, co-anchored by Chet Huntley and David Brinkley.
