Quotes
-
Lucy Ewing : I don't know. Mitch is so darn stubborn. All he ever thinks about is going to medical school and studying.
Sue Ellen Ewing : Well, Lucy, you should consider yourself very lucky. Ambition is a fine quality to have in a man.
[Pamela looks down]
Sue Ellen Ewing : Isn't It, Pamela?
Pamela Barnes Ewing : I suppose so. If the ambition doesn't become an obsession.

Pamela Barnes Ewing : You were up early this morning.
Bobby Ewing : I went out for a drive. I haven't been sleeping too well lately.
Pamela Barnes Ewing : I know. Want help?
Bobby Ewing : No. No, nobody can help. Just a lot of things going on, problems I have to solve.
Pamela Barnes Ewing : There was a time when you discussed your problems with me. Or is it now all your problems have to do with running Ewing Oil, you don't think I'll understand?
Bobby Ewing : Of course not, honey, you know how I value your opinion.
Pamela Barnes Ewing : Oh, really?
Bobby Ewing : Oh, sure. These are just things I have to work out on my own.
Pamela Barnes Ewing : Fine, Bobby.
[gets up to leave]
Pamela Barnes Ewing : You do that.
Bobby Ewing : Pamela.
Pamela Barnes Ewing : [angrily] We all have problems. I thought it would help if we tried to solve them together.

Pamela Barnes Ewing : [enters bedroom wearing long flowing night robe] Bobby?
Bobby Ewing : [lies on bed, busy studying documents] Yeah, honey?
Pamela Barnes Ewing : Can you finish that in the morning?
Bobby Ewing : No, sweetie, I can't. I have to finish it tonight. I have a meeting first thing in the morning.
Pamela Barnes Ewing : [climbs onto bed] Hey. I know you're under a lot of pressure. And I know things haven't been very good between us lately. And maybe a lot of it is my fault. But, Bobby, it seems like we don't spend any time together anymore. Everything's changing.
Bobby Ewing : Honey, I know I spend a lot of time at work, but why do you think that changes things between us?
Pamela Barnes Ewing : Well, we haven't made love in weeks. That tells me something.
Bobby Ewing : Come on now.
[shakes his head]
Bobby Ewing : It hasn't been that long.
Pamela Barnes Ewing : No? When was the last time?
[he looks at her at a loss for words, then looks down]
Pamela Barnes Ewing : Well, that's wonderful, Bobby, you can't even remember. One of us is slipping, and I don't think it's me.
[she rises from bed, he places his hand on her shoulder]
Pamela Barnes Ewing : No one has ever made love to me out of pity, and it's not gonna start now.

Pamela Barnes Ewing : [latest fashion pictures] What do you think, Jackie?
Jackie Dugan : I think that's what Liz had in mind.
Pamela Barnes Ewing : Maybe you'd better use these too.
[hands over more]
Jackie Dugan : Isn't Liz expecting you for a meeting?
Pamela Barnes Ewing : Well, that was before the meeting was postponed from this morning. Make my excuses for me, okay? I gotta get home.
Jackie Dugan : Okay, have a nice evening.
[phone rings]
Jackie Dugan : Shall I get that?
Pamela Barnes Ewing : No, I got it. Bye-bye. Hello. Pamela Ewing.
Alex Ward : Alex Ward.
Pamela Barnes Ewing : Well, hello.
Alex Ward : [chuckles] Well, that's a start. I wasn't sure you'd even talk to me.
Pamela Barnes Ewing : Of course I'm talking to you.
Alex Ward : Good. I had the distinct impression you were trying to avoid me. I want to see you, Pam.
Pamela Barnes Ewing : Well, I'm not trying to avoid you, Alex. I don't feel that I should see you.
Alex Ward : [chuckles] I told you I was willing to overlook the fact that you're married.
Pamela Barnes Ewing : But I'm not.
Alex Ward : Pamela, if your marriage is good I can't hurt it. If not, what have you got to lose? Have dinner with me.
Pamela Barnes Ewing : Look, Alex, I've got to go to my family dinner, and I'm running late. I have to go.
Alex Ward : But...
Pamela Barnes Ewing : Goodbye.
