Pamela Barnes Ewing : Oh, Miss Ellie!
Miss Ellie Ewing : Pam, I'm, uh... I'm surprised you're here.
Pamela Barnes Ewing : Well, why?
[chuckles]
Miss Ellie Ewing : Oh, Pam. Haven't you heard?
Pamela Barnes Ewing : Heard what?
Miss Ellie Ewing : Uh...
[looks down]
Miss Ellie Ewing : Cliff is in Dallas Memorial Hospital.
Pamela Barnes Ewing : What happened?
Miss Ellie Ewing : He, uh... he tried to take his own life.
Pamela Barnes Ewing : How is he?
Miss Ellie Ewing : He's in a coma.
Pamela Barnes Ewing : [closes her eyes, then looks at Bobby, who looks down] Why would he do something like that?
[Miss Ellie looks down]
Pamela Barnes Ewing : Did it have anything to do with J.R. and Sue Ellen?
Miss Ellie Ewing : It was J.R.
Pamela Barnes Ewing : I'd better get to the hospital.
Bobby Ewing : I'll go with you.
Pamela Barnes Ewing : No, Bobby. If J.R.'s involved, I don't think Mama would want to see a Ewing at the hospital. You understand?
Bobby Ewing : [nods] Sure.
Pamela Barnes Ewing : I'll call you.

Miss Ellie Ewing : Sit down, J.R.
J.R. Ewing : Well, tight little family meeting we got here. Except for Ray. Where is he? Or is this only for those of us who have both Ewing and Southworth blood coursing through our veins?
Miss Ellie Ewing : You know why Ray isn't here. You stole his voting shares.
J.R. Ewing : [shakes his head] Mama, I did no such thing. I have a signed proxy locked upstairs in my room.
Miss Ellie Ewing : I know all about it, J.R.
J.R. Ewing : Is this little meeting to determine the fate of Ewing Oil?
Lucy Ewing Cooper : No, it's over your fate, J.R.
J.R. Ewing : Same thing, darling. Same thing.
[pats her hand in most paternalistic way]
