Quotes
-
Jeff Colby : [after Sammy Jo talked on the phone] Trouble at the ranch?
Sammy Jo Dean Carrington : Yeah, that was my stable manager. He's made some pretty heavy mistakes recently, involving a lot of money.
Jeff Colby : Why don't you let him go?
Sammy Jo Dean Carrington : I don't know. I keep thinking that maybe...
Jeff Colby : Maybe what?
Sammy Jo Dean Carrington : Maybe it isn't all his fault. I've been trying so hard to work things out with Steven that I've forgotten everything else.
[smirks]
Sammy Jo Dean Carrington : I can't even trust my own judgment anymore.
Jeff Colby : Sammy Jo, I... I'm sure you're doing the best you can.
Sammy Jo Dean Carrington : Am I?
[he nods, and she sighs, sits down]
Sammy Jo Dean Carrington : I'm not a very successful businesswoman. Truth is, I'm not feeling very successful as a woman, period. I'm trying, but... nothing seems to work.
Jeff Colby : [comes forward, tries cheering her up] Oh, now, come on now, wait a minute.
Sammy Jo Dean Carrington : I don't even think I'm being the best mother I can be.
Jeff Colby : That's not true. You've got a son who adores you.
Sammy Jo Dean Carrington : And he worships Steven. And the older he gets, the more confused he's gonna be about the two of us and our relationship. And I've encouraged it selfishly.
Jeff Colby : Hey, hey, hey. Would you stop it? Now, stop putting yourself down. You don't have to do this to yourself.
Sammy Jo Dean Carrington : [sadly] I just feel so alone.
Jeff Colby : That's what happens when you start a new life. Welcome to the loneliest club in town. Speaking of which, I'm gonna buy you dinner tonight.
Sammy Jo Dean Carrington : Oh, I'm not really very hungry.
Jeff Colby : Oh, come on. We're gonna need all the energy we can get tomorrow. Those kids are gonna run us ragged. Besides, it's my treat.
Sammy Jo Dean Carrington : Okay. You've talked me into it.
