J.R.: You better keep a civil tongue in your head. James: You know, I came a long way to see what the shouting was all about. Frankly, I'm disappointed. J.R.: Because your mama was so special to me, I'm not gonna bounce your butt out of here, but you better watch what you say to me! James: Heh, heh, now, that's better. That's more what my mother was talking about - this rough, tough Texan. What a contract to all the polished gentlemen she knows. J.R.: Well, this Texan is a hell of a lot more man than those hand-kissing foreigners.
McKay: Oh, J.R., if you're ordering dinner, I might suggest a humble pie. You've had quite a bit of that lately, but you may want another helping. J.R.: You know, this place used to have a lot of class. Nowadays, they let anyone in—even turncoats like him.
James: I'm curious about the oil industry. And what better place to learn that Dallas? Cally: Well, you can learn a whole lot from J.R. James: If wouldn't mind, I'd like to spend some more time around your office, maybe sit in on a few meetings. J.R.: Yeah, that's alright with me. If you're gonna learn, learn from the master.
April: You're crazy about me, right? Bobby: Am I on a hidden camera here? April: Would it make a difference? Bobby: Well, I might keep my clothes on.
Kendall: And you think I'm gonna spend the night with you? James: Only if you want to make it a date to remember. I guarantee you'll wake up with a smile on your face. Kendall: Well, I do like to wake up happy.
Bobby: Well, McKay is not famous for his sense of humor. J.R.: Yeah, last time he had a good laugh was when the Titanic went down, right?
April: You're a cold, cruel, arrogant man. McKay: And you're a busy little opportunist who goes from man to man the way a bee goes from flower to flower.
