J.R.: Do I know you? James: No, you don't. J.R.: Well, I'm here to tell you, I don't like to play games. James: Well, sure you do, especially if you win them.
Cally: Just tell me what Marilee meant? J.R.: Oh, she's just trying to get back at me, honey. She tried to seduce me with her fading charms and I... I turned her down flat. Hell, I wouldn't share a swimming hole with her, much less a bed.
J.R.: Now, Cally, you're developing a bad case of sexual jealousy. And I'm getting a little tired of you seeing a mistress behind every tree. Cally: It's not that I don't trust you, J.R. J.R.: Monogamy is not exactly second nature to me, so I want full credit for my efforts.
Sly: Excuse me. Uh, what are you doing here? James: Well, actually I was wondering what a "Sly Lovegren" would look like. Sly: Oh, were you? James: Yeah. I thought, "It must take a very unusual woman to use that name." But then I looked around the office and I said, "Now what other kind of woman would be J.R. Ewing's assistant?"
Michelle: What's really so bad about Cliff? J.R.: Ha ha, you look up the word "cheap" in the dictionary, you'll see his picture there, honey. Michelle: He can't be that bad. After all, he's rich. J.R.: If he ever gives you any jewelry, you ask to see the Cracker Jack box it comes in.
April: Have you slept with her yet? Cliff: What? April: You heard me. Cliff: I have taken her to dinner a couple times. That's none of your business. April: Spoken like a man whose brains have moved south of his belt buckle.
Marilee: What's going on? J.R.: Oh, I'm so sorry to leave you high and not-so-dry, Marilee, but I got some... I got some celebrating to do, honey. (Laughing) Oh, and by the way, darlin', you're a little bit too old to go running around without your clothes on.
Tracey: Not a tear for Tommy? Not a hug for me? Don't you dare turn back into the old Carter McKay!
Bobby: J.R., I'm going to cancel my appointments for Thursday. I'm going to Tommy McKay's funeral. J.R.: You really are a saint, aren't you? Going to the funeral of the man who tried to kill you, I tell you. Bobby: I just thought it might help smooth things over. Wouldn't be a bad idea if you showed up. J.R.: Well, I cut some of my best deals at funerals. Alright.
J.R.: I'm having just a little difficulty transferring my funds. It seems that my Swiss banks don't understand how fast we work here in the United States. Shaughnessy: Just write the check, Ewing. J.R.: Uh huh, well, Shaughnessy, just when did you graduate from charm school?
Cally: Well, I just don't care for women who use their bodies to trick men. J.R.: You mean, like pretending to be pregnant to get a man to the altar? Cally: Well, that's not the same thing. J.R.: Doesn't miss it by far.
J.R.: What's going on? Is something wrong with my tanker? Halliday: No, it's just taken on a little water. Nothing serious. A few days delay at the very worst. J.R.: Every day is costing me a million dollars. Now, what are you going to do about that? Halliday: Short of sending Mother Nature a bill, I don't know. J.R.: Halliday, I'm going to sue you. I swear to God, I'm going to sue you. Halliday: You own the tanker now, not me. Really, this is just a courtesy call. J.R.: Well, courtesy isn't going to keep me from skinning you with a potato peeler if my tanker doesn't dock soon.
