Quotes
-
Afton Cooper : They also don't know what he was doing in your office.
J.R. Ewing : My office!
Afton Cooper : Yes, Bobby was shot in your office. There were bullet holes through the back of your chair.
J.R. Ewing : Oh my God, that means someone was trying to kill me.
-
Afton Cooper : [found critically wounded Bobby] Cliff. Cliff, what have you done? What have you done?
female voice on the phone : May I help you? This is the operator.
Afton Cooper : Somebody's been shot. I need an ambulance.
-
Afton Cooper : Doesn't it even bother you that Bobby was shot?
Cliff Barnes : [thinks that over] No. Not really, no. He's not married to Pam anymore. He's a Ewing. Want a drink?

Cpt. Merwin Fogerty : Tell me again, Miss Cooper, what were you doing up here at 8:30 at night?
Afton Cooper : [softly] I had a meeting with J.R. Ewing.
Cpt. Merwin Fogerty : Now this is Mr. Ewing's appointment book. Your name is not in it. Not for tonight. Not at any time.
Afton Cooper : I called. He answered the phone. I knew he was here.
Cpt. Merwin Fogerty : And he asked you to come up here at this time of night?
Afton Cooper : No, I didn't say anything. I heard his voice, and I hung up, and then I... I just came right over here to see him.
Cpt. Merwin Fogerty : Why didn't you say anything?
Afton Cooper : I didn't think he'd wait if he knew it was me.
Cpt. Merwin Fogerty : [with laughter in his voice] Why is that?
Afton Cooper : We don't like each other, Captain Fogarty.
Cpt. Merwin Fogerty : Miss Cooper, did you just come up here to talk to Mr. J.R. Ewing?
Afton Cooper : Yes, of course.
Cpt. Merwin Fogerty : Isn't it possible you had something else in mind?
Afton Cooper : What are you getting at?
Cpt. Merwin Fogerty : What *did* you come up here to talk about?
Afton Cooper : [evasive] It's personal.
Cpt. Merwin Fogerty : I see. Miss Cooper, you realize of course that Mr. Bobby Ewing was shot in Mr. J.R. Ewing's office.
Afton Cooper : [very softly] Yes.
Cpt. Merwin Fogerty : How soon after the shooting did you... call for help?
[which is a trick question]
Afton Cooper : I don't know when he was shot. I called as soon as I found Bobby. Are you trying to say that I did it?
Cpt. Merwin Fogerty : I'm not saying anything, Miss Cooper.
Afton Cooper : I think I want a lawyer.
Cpt. Merwin Fogerty : You're not under arrest.
Afton Cooper : Then I'm going right over to the hospital to find out about Bobby.
Cpt. Merwin Fogerty : We may wanna talk to you again.
Afton Cooper : You can talk to my lawyer the next time.
Cpt. Merwin Fogerty : Don't leave town unless you call us.
