Bobby quotes from Dallas

Bobby

Now you listen to me boy: there is no drilling on my ranch!

Bobby

[to John Ross] I really had hoped that you kids would climb out of the hole this family dug. But J.R.'s just dragging you down with him.

Bobby

It's not like the old days where we use to knock 'em back for no reason at all.

Bobby

I appreciate you backing me on this Gary. You were always the one brother I could count on.

Bobby

[Bobby enters J.R.'s bedroom and pours himself a drink from J.R.'s decanter] I knew you'd have at least one more left up your sleeve, J.R.

Bobby

And it's a good one... I love you, brother. [takes another drink and dissolves into tears]

Bobby

The only hope we have of surviving is if we stick together.

Bobby

Since J.R.'s dead we have to find our own inner junkyard dog.

Bobby

We've got to get to the will reading because if we're late I'm sure he will give us nightmares.

Bobby

Pull in your claws, Afton. You've caused enough trouble in the past.

Bobby

Well if anyone in this house knows how complicated a relationship with a Barnes woman can be, it's me.

Daddy always said beautiful women were the most dangerous.

Bobby

[impatient to get to the point] I know all the things daddy used to say.

Ewing Oil is back in business, Bobby!

Bobby

That's not gonna happen, J.R. [holds up a deed stating J.R. owns Southfork]

You wanna carry on mama's legacy? Well, I wanna carry on daddy's.

Christopher

How the hell could J.R. do this to his own family?

Bobby

How much time do you have? Son, ever since momma left me this ranch, J.R. has been desperate to get it back. I just never thought he'd be so desperate that he'd risk losing it all together.

[reading J.R.'s final letter to him aloud] John Ross, if you're reading this, it means I'm dead. And if I'm dead, that means Barnes is coming after you. You must crush him before he can win. I promised your Uncle Bobby that taking down Harris Ryland would be my masterpiece. I bet my last nickel Barnes'll join forces with Ryland to destroy us. Use what I've given you to take from them what they want to take from us. When you've done that, Bobby will know what to do.

And remember, you're my son, tip to tail.

Bum

[to Bobby, handing him an envelope] He wanted you to have this.

[Bobby reads it silently] What's it say?

Christopher

Ain't you gonna tell us?

[Bobby beckons to Bum] Uncle Bobby!

Christopher

Dad!

Bobby

[as he and Bum leave the den] This is between my brother and me... for now.

Bobby

[to Bum] You pay off whoever you have to pay off... so that everybody still thinks J.R. was killed by a mugger. And when the time comes, we'll take care of this ourselves... as a family.

Cliff

Who killed J.R.?

Bobby

You'll *never* know, Cliff.
