Quotes

Mitch Cooper : Oh, this is Lucy. Lucy this is my mother, and my sister Afton.
Lucy Ewing : Hi, Mrs. Cooper. So very nice to meet you. Hi, Afton.
Afton Cooper : Hi.
Arliss Cooper : It's just such a pleasure to make your acquaintance. Mitch wrote so much about you.
Mitch Cooper : Oh, nothing good.
Arliss Cooper : Oh, Mitchell, now you stop that.
[to Lucy:]
Arliss Cooper : He said nothing but good things about you. Looks like he didn't say enough.
Lucy Ewing : Well, thank you.
Mitch Cooper : Oh, come on. She's spoiled enough already.
Lucy Ewing : [playfully slaps his shoulder] No, I'm not!
Afton Cooper : [to Lucy] You really have all that money?
Arliss Cooper : Afton!
Afton Cooper : [shrugs] Just wanted to know.
Lucy Ewing : Well, uh, I don't. But my family sure does.
Arliss Cooper : Now, Lucy, no matter what my son says, there is absolutely no reason to feel sorry about having a lot of money.
Mitch Cooper : Come on, there's got to be a hundred other things we can talk about besides money.
Afton Cooper : [to Lucy] Why don't you tell us about the wedding? I bet thats going to be something.
Mitch Cooper : Oh, uh, come on. Let's get the bags, or I'm gonna be late for school, all right?
Lucy Ewing : Why don't I drop you off, and then we'll go on to your apartment, okay?
Afton Cooper : All right. Let's go.
Arliss Cooper : Good.
Afton Cooper : [to Lucy] You know, ever since Mitch wrote us about the wedding, I've been reading up on your family.
Lucy Ewing : Oh, don't blame them on me. By the way, I'd really like it if you could be one of my bridesmaids.
Afton Cooper : [enthusiastically] Oh, you would?
Lucy Ewing : Yeah! Don't you think it would be fun?

J.R. Ewing : [after they kissed passionately] Well, that leaves four things.
Afton Cooper : I don't believe we'd best find out what they are today.
J.R. Ewing : But soon?
[she smiles]

J.R. Ewing : [very attentive to Mitch's sister] Can I get you a cold drink or something?
Afton Cooper : No, thank you.
J.R. Ewing : I must say, beauty certainly runs in your family.
[chuckles]
J.R. Ewing : I understand they raise these huge magnolias down in Mississippi. Is that right?
Afton Cooper : Yeah, that's true.
J.R. Ewing : And is it true what they say about the alligators down in Mississippi?
Afton Cooper : Yeah.
J.R. Ewing : It is?
Afton Cooper : Yeah, it is true.
[he chuckles, while Sue Ellen looks on knowing full well where all this is leading]
Afton Cooper : They're all along the sides of the road.
J.R. Ewing : Yeah, you're kidding. Are they really?
Afton Cooper : And the Spanish moss is hanging... from the trees. It's pretty scary.
J.R. Ewing : [laughing] And they sing songs like "doo-dah, doo-dah day"?

Afton Cooper : [walking into bedroom 'accidentally'] Oh, my goodness. Excuse me, I was looking for Lucy's room. I left my sweater there.
J.R. Ewing : Getting chilly, is it?
[knows It's not]
Afton Cooper : Some.
J.R. Ewing : How you liking Dallas?
Afton Cooper : Yeah, I love it.
J.R. Ewing : And Southfork?
Afton Cooper : It's beautiful. I've never seen anything like it. You sure are lucky to live here.
J.R. Ewing : Yeah, I guess so. Well, your being here adds more beauty to it.
Afton Cooper : Well, it sure puts Mississippi to shame. I almost hate to go back.
J.R. Ewing : Well, since you're almost a member of the family...
[closes bedroom door]
J.R. Ewing : Well, it seems a shame to lose you so soon.
Afton Cooper : Wouldn't take much to talk me out of it.
J.R. Ewing : Talking's the second best thing I do.
Afton Cooper : [soft snicker] I guess talking is about... the fifth best thing I do.
