Miss Ellie Ewing
- Pamela Barnes Ewing: [as Jock approaches] Miss Ellie... who's Jenna Wade? I got the feeling this morning she's a delicate subject around me.
- Miss Ellie Ewing: [as Jock sits down] She and her daddy were friends of ours quite a few years ago.
- Pamela Barnes Ewing: And Bobby and she were particularly good friends?
- Jock Ewing: Well, for a while there we all thought they we're gonna get married.
- Miss Ellie Ewing: Jock!
- Jock Ewing: Well, hell, nothing came of it, Ellie.
- [to Pam:]
- Jock Ewing: Like Ellie said, it was quite a while back.
- Pamela Barnes Ewing: [smiles unperturbed] Right. A while back. Why, I've got better things to do than worry about old girlfriends. Bye-bye.
- [leaves]
- Pamela Barnes Ewing: It's awful watching somebody you love slide away. Bobby's known Jenna a lot longer and a lot of different ways. But I can handle Jenna. It's the little girl that worries me. The child could tip it. There, I may be out-matched, Miss Ellie.
- Miss Ellie Ewing: If you take that attitude, you are. Jenna was never stoical about anything in her life. When she goes down, she goes down kicking and screaming.
- Pamela Barnes Ewing: I don't think kicking and screaming will help.
- Miss Ellie Ewing: I knew a woman once. Her man couldn't decide whether or not to do right by her. So, she took a horse-whip to him. Helped him make up his mind fast.
- Pamela Barnes Ewing: I don't think a horse-whip would work with Bobby.
- [smiles]
- Miss Ellie Ewing: I don't see why not. It worked on his daddy all right.
- Pamela Barnes Ewing: [laughs] Miss Ellie...
- Miss Ellie Ewing: Of course... I really wanted his daddy.
- Pamela Barnes Ewing: [with fire] I really want Bobby.
- Miss Ellie Ewing: Then go get him!
- Pamela Barnes Ewing: [nods, with newfound clear direction] Yeah.
