Jenna's Return (1980)

Larry Hagman: J.R. Ewing

Quotes 

• J.R. Ewing : [talking to Ray about Donna]  You know, Sam used to say that she was, eh, she was the real politician in the family. If she ever decided to run for public office, she'd win by a landslide. And I believe it, I really do. Yeah, with all that loot he left her and her looks, there's just about nothing in the world she couldn't have. Which is why it just beats hell out of me how you think she's gonna be happy living in a cabin on Southfork, barefoot, pregnant and in the kitchen.

• J.R. Ewing : [to Sue Ellen]  I wouldn't be at all surprised if the first word this child learns is 'where's mamma?'

• J.R. Ewing : [after she kissed him, he shows no real interest]  Darling, where are those papers you got from Bollier?

  Kristin Shepard : Over there on the table.

  J.R. Ewing : Well, I don't know why you didn't bring them to the restaurant in the first place.

  Kristin Shepard : Do you have to leave right away?

  J.R. Ewing : Darling,

  [scoffs] 

  J.R. Ewing : it's late.

  Kristin Shepard : You hardly spoke to me at dinner. And now it's barely ten o'clock and you wanna go home? I don't know why you spend any time with me at all.

  J.R. Ewing : Kristin, I'm a busy man. I've only got so much attention to go around. And everything I've got right now is just used up.

  Kristin Shepard : On what? Sue Ellen?

  J.R. Ewing : A jealous woman is never a very pretty sight.

  Kristin Shepard : And what about a jealous man? Is that what I have to do to get your attention? Find myself a lover?

  J.R. Ewing : It might be worth a try. I'll see you in the morning.
