Quotes

Bobby Ewing : [at swimming pool] You are a very sound sleeper. You hardly even woke up when I came in last night.
Pamela Barnes Ewing : I'm usually asleep after midnight.
Bobby Ewing : Oh, honey, I know it was late, but she's an old friend.
Pamela Barnes Ewing : What did your old friend want that took so long?
Bobby Ewing : If you'd have asked me last night, I would have told you.
Pamela Barnes Ewing : [sweetly] If I'd asked you last night, I might have said some things I shouldn't have. Why don't you tell me about it now?
Bobby Ewing : [as Pam heads to pool-side chair] Honey, she needed some help moving things, and so I helped.
Pamela Barnes Ewing : [unimpressed] Hmm. That's very nice of you, Bobby.
[sits down]

Pamela Barnes Ewing : [ex-girlfriend Jenna phoned again] What now, a spider in her tub?
Bobby Ewing : Anderson wants her to get out of town.
Pamela Barnes Ewing : Hey, let's hear it for Anderson!

Pamela Barnes Ewing : [on horseback as Bobby returns] Hello.
Bobby Ewing : I'm sorry about lunch, Pamela.
Pamela Barnes Ewing : Had a good day?
Bobby Ewing : Not bad.
Pamela Barnes Ewing : Would you like to tell me how you spent it?
Bobby Ewing : Do you want it minute by minute, hour by hour, or just big, broad strokes?
Pamela Barnes Ewing : [jumps off horse, fiery:] How about second by second? You haven't made it for dinner most of this week. And when I went by your office today, they didn't even know where you were.
Bobby Ewing : Charlie needed some things.
Pamela Barnes Ewing : [snarls:] *I bet she did!* This can't go on.
Bobby Ewing : There is nothing going on, Pamela, and I'm getting tired of explaining that.
Pamela Barnes Ewing : What you're explaining and what I'm seeing is two different things!
Bobby Ewing : You know, I can't even talk to you anymore. You're so twisted up with some kind of jealousy!
Pamela Barnes Ewing : [vehemently] *That's not true! You know that's not true!*
[softly:]
Pamela Barnes Ewing : Bobby, if it's the child... if she is your child, we can work something out... Other people do. I wouldn't ask you to run out on her.
Bobby Ewing : Just what are you asking?
Pamela Barnes Ewing : That you not spend every day with Jenna. That you come home to me at the end of each day because you want to.
[tearfully:]
Pamela Barnes Ewing : God, Bobby, I need you! But if you can't stay away from her, stay away from me!
Bobby Ewing : Is that the way you want it? Fine!
[jumps into car, pulls away with screeching tires, leaving her sobbing to horse]

Jenna Wade : You two obviously wanna talk. I'd offer to leave, but it is my apartment.
Pamela Barnes Ewing : Is it?
Bobby Ewing : Yes, Pamela, it is.
Pamela Barnes Ewing : All right. Well, let's find out what else around here is hers.
Jenna Wade : Look, I've got a little girl asleep in there.
Pamela Barnes Ewing : Jenna, I have no intention of making a scene. Do you? No? Well, then, let's talk. I want to know where I stand, where you stand, where we all stand. And I want to know tonight.
Jenna Wade : Well, tonight's just as good a time as any, I suppose.
Pamela Barnes Ewing : All right. I love Bobby, and I want him. What do you want?
Jenna Wade : Bobby.
Pamela Barnes Ewing : Bobby? Or a husband, and a father for your child? Some security?
Jenna Wade : With Bobby, I get them all.
Pamela Barnes Ewing : I prefer you got it with somebody else.
Bobby Ewing : Pamela, why don't you cut a deck of cards and roll the dice for me?
Pamela Barnes Ewing : Come on, Bobby! Let's get down to basics! The child! Is Bobby the father of your child?
[Jenna lowers her eyes]
Pamela Barnes Ewing : Because if he is, he'll do something about it. But it doesn't mean he's going to leave me for you.
[Jenna walks away, with Pam storming after her, yelling:]
Pamela Barnes Ewing : Come on, Jenna, surely you know? Is Bobby the father?
Jenna Wade : [yells] I never said he was!
Pamela Barnes Ewing : [yells louder] Is he?
Jenna Wade : [after much hesitation] No.
[Bobby looks down]
Pamela Barnes Ewing : That makes things a little more simple. Then it's between you and me. Only you can answer that, Bobby.

Bobby Ewing : Hello.
Jenna Wade : Hi! Don't I get a kiss?
[Bobby gives her a peck on the cheek]
Jenna Wade : Well, that was a nice brotherly kiss. You surprised to see me?
Bobby Ewing : [smiles] Oh, yes, I'm very surprised.
Jenna Wade : I'm in trouble.
Bobby Ewing : Well, sweetheart, you have never been a stranger to that.
