Linda Gray: Sue Ellen Ewing

Quotes 

• Jock Ewing : We'll take care of Cliff Barnes. Noboby is gonna talk about the Ewings and get away with it.

  Sue Ellen Ewing : What are you going to do about it?

  Jock Ewing : I know one thing for sure: we can't kill him. But I'll guarantee you one thing: before we get through suing him, he'll wish that he'd never messed with us.

• Sue Ellen Ewing : My mamma says: a lady doesn't dignify an insult by answering it.

  Jock Ewing : J.R., will you tell your wife to sign the damn paper so we can get out of here?

• Kristin Shepard : Sue Ellen. I read that terrible story in the paper about you. You must feel just awful. I'm so sorry for you. I don't know what would make Cliff Barnes say such a dreadful thing.

  [smile slips through] 

  Sue Ellen Ewing : You'd love it if all of that were true, wouldn't you?

  Kristin Shepard : Sue Ellen, how can you say that? Of course not.

  Sue Ellen Ewing : You think that J.R. would throw me out and you'd have him all to yourself.

  [Kristin looks all angelic] 

  Sue Ellen Ewing : Well, you don't know him as well as you think you do.

• Miss Ellie Ewing : [the Ewing women are watching Cliff Barnes withdraw from the run for congress]  Poor Digger. This must be a big disappointment to him.

  Sue Ellen Ewing : Some people deserve to fail.

  Lucy Ewing : Alan must be miserable. He really thought Cliff had a chance of winning.
