- J.R. Ewing: [Lucy is going out on a date] Makes me feel old...
- Miss Ellie Ewing: Junior, you were born old.
- Pamela Barnes Ewing: [her convertible alongside Lucy in driveway] Get in.
- Lucy Ewing: Walking is good for my figure.
- Pamela Barnes Ewing: Why did you do it?
- Lucy Ewing: Me? Mr. Miller scared me half to death. It never would have happened if you hadn't made me go to school.
- Pamela Barnes Ewing: Do you know what this could do to Mr. Miller?
- Lucy Ewing: Do you really care about Mr. Miller?
- Pamela Barnes Ewing: I care what happens to him.
- Lucy Ewing: Then Monday I'll go to school and I'll tell them it was just a little misunderstanding.
- Pamela Barnes Ewing: And in return for this magnificent gesture...?
- Lucy Ewing: Well, you just make sure no more letters come to the house when I skip school... and you keep Miss Ellie believing I'm in school every day.
- Pamela Barnes Ewing: You really worked this beautifully.
- Lucy Ewing: Thank you.
- [smiles]
- Lucy Ewing: See what happens when you care about people?
- Lucy Ewing: Lets go dancing.
- Roger Hurley: [unenthusiastic] Dancing?
- Lucy Ewing: Dancing makes me very affectionate.
- Pamela Barnes Ewing: [at loft, hands on hips, calls out] Ray!
- Ray Krebbs: Yeah! Be right down!
- [appears]
- Ray Krebbs: Pam.
- Pamela Barnes Ewing: [sternly] Come down here a minute.
- Ray Krebbs: [still fixing his trousers] You givin' me orders now?
- Pamela Barnes Ewing: Come down here, please.
- [cocks her head]
- Ray Krebbs: [climbs down ladder, gives uneasy smile, expecting trouble] Something I can do for you?
- Pamela Barnes Ewing: Yeah. Leave us alone I wanna talk to Lucy.
- Ray Krebbs: Now, Pam, you ain't gonna...
- Pamela Barnes Ewing: Now, Ray!
- Ray Krebbs: [after being held by her steely gaze] Suit yourself.
- [walks off]
- Pamela Barnes Ewing: [looks up at hayloft] Lucy!
- Lucy Ewing: [comes down the ladder] Ray Krebbs was just telling me how even he used to, uhm...
- Pamela Barnes Ewing: Never mind me and Ray Krebbs. The subject is school.
- Lucy Ewing: I get all the education I need... right here.
- Pamela Barnes Ewing: [strict] You're going to school.
- Lucy Ewing: I'm not going anywhere.
- Pamela Barnes Ewing: How about seeing Jock?
- Lucy Ewing: Fine! Granddaddy believes everything I tell him.
- Pamela Barnes Ewing: All the letters from the school? He's gonna believe they were lost in the mail?
- Lucy Ewing: [widens her eyes to assert herself] If that's what I tell him.
- Pamela Barnes Ewing: And when I get copies of the letters? He's gonna believe those are lies?
- Lucy Ewing: Sure.
- Pamela Barnes Ewing: Sweetie, that's a set of lies only an imbecile would believe.
- [turns to leave]
- Lucy Ewing: You're not really gonna tell him, are you?
- Pamela Barnes Ewing: Oh, I really am. And I'm gonna get copies of those letters.
- Lucy Ewing: Why? Why do you care?
- Pamela Barnes Ewing: Because I'm a Ewing now! This family is so full of guilt because your Daddy ran away, they let you run wild. Well, baby-face, that won't work with me.
- Lucy Ewing: [tastes defeat, sighs] What do I have to do?
- Pamela Barnes Ewing: [adamant] Go to school.
- Lucy Ewing: [head rearing back] No!
- [seething, Pam turns around, and is off to go tell... so Lucy scampers all the way down the ladder to go after her]
