- J.R. Ewing: You'd better stop drinking, Sue Ellen. There's nothing uglier than a woman who can't handle her liquor!
- B.J. 'Buzz' Connors: Miss Ewing, my name's Buzz Connors. This is, eh, Cliff Barnes.
- Sue Ellen Ewing: Cliff Barnes? I've heard a lot about you.
- Cliff Barnes: Oh, I'm sure you have. I can't imagine any of it having being favorable.
- Sue Ellen Ewing: Well, you're much more attractive than your reputation.
- Cliff Barnes: You're far too pretty to be a Ewing.
- B.J. 'Buzz' Connors: Cliff was just leaving.
- Jock Ewing: A job? What does she need a job for? Ewing women don't work.
- Bobby Ewing: Well, Daddy, Pamela doesn't consider herself a Ewing woman. And she wants a job.
- Jock Ewing: Well, I don't see anything wrong with staying home and having babies.
- Bobby Ewing: Well, there's nothing wrong with it... when the time is right.
- Pamela Barnes Ewing: Bobby, I love being married to you, but there's so much more to find out and do for myself. You didn't marry another Sue Ellen. Sometimes I get the feeling if J.R. didn't exist she'd disappear into a puff of smoke.
- Barbara Walsh: What kind of child were you looking for?
- Sue Ellen Ewing: A newborn. A baby.
- Barbara Walsh: Mrs. Ewing, most people who come in here seem to want newborns. I try to discourage it. So many single mothers are keeping their babies now, and with abortion, with the Pill, well, the supply is very limited. It could take a long time.
- Sue Ellen Ewing: [picking up portrait] You look very pretty in your bathing suit.
- Rita Briggs: Give me that!
- [rushing down stairs]
- Rita Briggs: Who said you could go through my things?
- [grabs portrait]
- Sue Ellen Ewing: Well, I'm sorry.
- Rita Briggs: You spent a couple of bucks on me, you think... you think you can... own me?
- Sue Ellen Ewing: That's from a beauty contest, isn't it?
- Rita Briggs: Maybe.
- Sue Ellen Ewing: I was in a beauty pageant once.
- Rita Briggs: Oh, yeah? Which one?
- Sue Ellen Ewing: Miss Texas.
- Rita Briggs: So big deal. I... I was in the Miss... Teen Texas one.
- Sue Ellen Ewing: How did you do?
- Rita Briggs: I was voted Miss Congeniality.
- [almost spelling that out]
- Rita Briggs: That means they liked me.
- [Sue Ellen smiles]
- Rita Briggs: How did you do?
- Sue Ellen Ewing: Well, I was, uh, voted Miss Texas.
- Rita Briggs: [nods] I knew it. I knew it! I... You always get what you want, don't you?
- Sue Ellen Ewing: Well, I didn't get Miss America.
- [scoffs]
- Sue Ellen Ewing: I didn't even make it to the finals.
- Rita Briggs: Did you cry?
- Sue Ellen Ewing: [nods] Yeah. I cried for three days.
- Rita Briggs: [sad smirk, nods] I... I cried when I lost, too.
- Sue Ellen Ewing: [reaching out to the girl who is now subdued] Uh, why don't we have a little lunch?
- Rita Briggs: [pushes hand away] Look, Mrs. Ewing, you don't gotta keep hanging around here, you know?
- Sue Ellen Ewing: I know. But I want to. Let's go.
- Sue Ellen Ewing: [crying] J.R., you can't walk out on me! Do you know how that makes me feel?
- [he continues walking to his car]
- Sue Ellen Ewing: I wanna have a baby when I'm young!
- [as he climbs into car:]
- Sue Ellen Ewing: You got everything! You got your business, and I got *nothing!* I gotta have something to hold on to!
- J.R. Ewing: All right, darling, I'll buy you a puppy.
- [throws car into reverse and zooms off]
- Lucy Ewing: [in bikini, poolside] Hey, Ray! Why don't you get your trunks on, and we'll go swimming?
- Ray Krebbs: Who needs trunks?
- [flashes big smile]
