Michelle: You're right, men stink. At least you're financially independent. You don't have to depend on them for money. April: Maybe not, but I leased this office space because I thought being in the oil business would bring Bobby and I closer together. Now the thought of filling my car makes me nauseous.

Cliff: I'm getting all the publicity I need lately. Stephanie: Lately. You know, the trouble with publicity is that left unguided it can go away in hours. There's no more committee. You're yesterday's news. You get staler by the minute. Cliff: Huh. And yet you're interested? Stephanie: I love a challenge.

John Ross: You really worked in the fields? J.R.: Yep, side by side with my daddy. John Ross: Like I'm doing with you now. J.R.: Pretty much so. Now, whether you work in an office or in the fields, you're going to get dirty. But out here, the dirt's a lot cleaner.

Melville: Mr. Ewing, Clarence Melville, sir. Red Gardner sent me. J.R.: Well, you're just a kid. Melville: I'm twenty-five. J.R.: Well, that certainly makes me feel better. Heh. Melville: I have a Masters in chemical engineering from the University of Texas. Red Gardner's my uncle. J.R.: Oh, well, you know, getting dirty's just as much a part of the oil business as book learnin' and who you know. Uh, you just don't seem like you've gotten dirty for some time. Melville: Would it help if I rolled around on the ground a bit?

Michelle: So does this date save Daddy from having to give her a raise? James: This date is so I can enjoy myself for a change. Kendall: Maybe you two would like to be alone for a minute. James: (to Michelle's date) You know, you look like a nice guy. What are you doing with her? Stephen: Well, I thought I was going to be having dinner, but I guess I'm just part of a continuing drama.

Phone Repairman: Looking for somebody? McKay: I must have the wrong office. I'm looking for April Oil. Phone Repairman: You've got it. April Oil. Ms. Oil's in there.
