Quotes
-
Pamela Barnes Ewing : [finds Cliff day-drinking] Well, no "Hello, sis, have a seat. Have a drink"?
Cliff Barnes : How'd you find me?
Pamela Barnes Ewing : Your secretary said you'd be here. What are you doing out here, drinking in the middle of the afternoon?
[to the waiter:]
Pamela Barnes Ewing : Nothing for me, thanks.
Cliff Barnes : [to the waiter] I'll have another, please.
Pamela Barnes Ewing : Well?
Cliff Barnes : What?
Pamela Barnes Ewing : Why aren't you at work?
Cliff Barnes : Pam, I don't have to account to you for my time.
Pamela Barnes Ewing : Okay. Cliff, does this have anything to do with J.R.?
Cliff Barnes : You know what? It seems that everything in my life, one way or another, has something to do with J.R.
[waiter brings fresh drink and is about to clear away the old one]
Cliff Barnes : No, I want that.
[to Pamela:]
Cliff Barnes : Have you been to the hospital yet?
Pamela Barnes Ewing : J.R. was still in surgery when I left. You know, Bobby and I left Southfork. We were on our way to California.
Cliff Barnes : You left? What, you were going on vacation?
Pamela Barnes Ewing : No, we left Southfork. Bobby couldn't stand J.R.'s underhanded deals anymore. His closing down Ewing 23 was the last straw. He didn't want anything to do with doing you out of your share of the profits.
Cliff Barnes : Well, that's nice. But it's pretty academic now. The field is closed. There are no profits.
[takes sip of his drink]
Pamela Barnes Ewing : Cliff, the reason I came to see you is because Jock named you as a prime suspect in J.R.'s shooting.
Cliff Barnes : [smirks, takes another sip] I said to my boss, the DA: "I'm probably a prime suspect in this case. I certainly have enough motive. And if anybody deserves shooting, it's J.R."
[rises]
Cliff Barnes : But you tell me. You're closer to me than anybody else. Do you think your brother's a killer?
