Quotes 

• Julie Grey : [at outdoor restaurant, Cliff is settling in to eat junk food]  You sure must have a cast-iron stomach.

  Cliff Barnes : Hey, Julie.

  [goes over] 

  Cliff Barnes : When did you get back into town?

  Julie Grey : Two weeks ago.

  Cliff Barnes : You must know that I am now a power in Dallas.

  Julie Grey : Can't be much of a power. Look where you eat.

  Cliff Barnes : Oh, no, I... I like to eat among the people.

  Julie Grey : Well, for a politician, you sure take rotten care of your most valuable possession.

  Cliff Barnes : What?

  Julie Grey : Your mouth.

  Cliff Barnes : Oh. Oh, very funny. Is this a coincidence that we meet, or are you doing undercover work for J.R.?

  [she lowers her eyes] 

  Cliff Barnes : Whoops. Bad choice of words. I assume that you've resumed your relationship with Texas' answer to Michael Corleone?

  [smiles, lifts his glass] 

  Julie Grey : He's not that bad, Cliff.

  Cliff Barnes : Are you his emissary?

  Julie Grey : No, I'm early for a job interview across the street.

  Cliff Barnes : You're not workng for Ewing Oil?

  Julie Grey : No.

  Cliff Barnes : You see, I don't understand that. I do not understand why J.R. doesn't give you a vice presidency with a large yearly bonus.

  Julie Grey : [smiles, raises her eyes]  Why do you think I'm worth that?

  Cliff Barnes : Because you're gorgeous.

  [she scoffs] 

• Julie Grey : [to herself, as she checks up on her jewelry case]  J.R., you were so worried about what I know, you had my apartment searched. You'll never find it...

  [smiles] 

  Julie Grey : because you don't know where to look.

  [looks up at herself in mirror] 

• Cliff Barnes : [answering machine]  This is Cliff Barnes. I'm out right now. Leave your name and number after the tone, and I'll get back to you.

  [beep] 

  Julie Grey : [tearfully]  Hello, Cliff? This is Julie. You're right, I do know where the skeletons are buried. I've been hurt enough, and I'm ready to sell. All we have to talk about is the price.

• Jeb Ames : [as Julie opens door]  Hi, Julie.

  Julie Grey : Mr. Ames. Oh, this is a surprise.

  Jeb Ames : [flashing big smile]  Can I come in?

  Julie Grey : [reluctantly]  Yes, I guess so.

  Jeb Ames : Julie, I know you just got back to Dallas and all, but I'm afraid it's time for you to move on again.

  Julie Grey : I see. Did J.R. send you?

  Jeb Ames : Oh, no. But I'm sure he'll agree once he finds out you've been trying to make a deal with Barnes.

  Julie Grey : [lowers her eyes, soft sigh]  You had my phone tapped, didn't you?

  Jeb Ames : Julie, when you were J.R.'s secretary, you knew about all our deals. Now, we can't allow you to sell out to Barnes.

  [shakes his head] 

  Jeb Ames : That wouldn't be smart now, would it?

  Julie Grey : [sighs, panic in her voice]  Look, you don't understand, Mr. Ames. There's a lot that went down this afternoon!

  Jeb Ames : I understand. I understand you've got five minutes to pack.

  Julie Grey : [shakes her head desperately]  Look, you haven't got anything to worry about.

  Jeb Ames : Time's running out, Julie!

  [snarls:] 

  Jeb Ames : You get packing.

  [guides her to the door of her bedroom, which she tries to close as she enters] 

  Jeb Ames : Leave the door open!
