JR Ewing : [looking at portrait] Hey, this is something new since the last time I saw you. Huh, pretty little girl. What, about four years old?
[no response]
JR Ewing : Huh? Well,
[smirks]
JR Ewing : no wonder you dropped out of sight.
Leanne Rees : She's the best thing that ever happened to me.
JR Ewing : Yeah? She in the bedroom here?
Leanne Rees : No... she's with my mother.
JR Ewing : Oh, sure, of course. Who's the father?
[laughs]
JR Ewing : Oh, sorry, darling. You know, I thought you'd have a house by now. And running a string of girls. You always had a good head for business, Amber.
Leanne Rees : The name's Leanne.
[eats carrot nonchalantly]
JR Ewing : Leanne. That's classy.
Leanne Rees : [annoyed] Will you leave?
JR Ewing : We all know I have some business to discuss with you, honey. Something that demands your special talents.
Leanne Rees : That business doesn't interest me anymore. I'm making a new life for myself.
JR Ewing : [most patronizing tone] Oh, they always try. You know that never works.
Leanne Rees : I'm making it work.
JR Ewing : Well, from the looks of this place, I'd say your old life was a lot more lucrative.
Leanne Rees : Why the sudden interest in my old life? Ewing Oil need some congressmen entertained, some parties livened up?
JR Ewing : Well, I do have a friend that needs your services. And I aim to accommodate him.
Leanne Rees : Sorry. You're taking up my time, J.R., and my time's not for sale anymore.
[walks to her door, is gonna open it for him]
JR Ewing : Honey, this man wants you. And it's in my interests to give him... what he wants.
[puts down five hundred dollar bills]
Leanne Rees : [picks up the money, counts it, then spitefully tears them up] No deal.
[cool, defiant glare]
JR Ewing : [gets up, scoffs] Honey... the courts in the state of Texas are very straight-laced about the welfare of children. They have some kind of old-fadhioned notion that a mother... should set a moral example for them.
Leanne Rees : All I ever did was sell myself, but you... you'd sell yourself, your family, your friends, for power. J.R., you're a prize pimp.
JR Ewing : You know...
[as he leaves:]
JR Ewing : coming from an expert... I consider that a compliment.
[gestures with contempt at torn bills, she's welcome to them]

JR Ewing : [conspiring to set up Ben Maxwell] Now, just get him to your place after Pam's asleep.
Leanne Rees : Why are you setting up Pam?
JR Ewing : Well, let's just say I want to kill two birds with one stone.

Leanne Rees : [at Racquet Club] He's not here, is he?
Pamela Barnes Ewing : Mm, I guess not.
Leanne Rees : You really miss him, don't you, Pam?
Pamela Barnes Ewing : Well, of course I do. You know, I think I spend half my day waiting for him to call me. I'll never get used to the idea of living alone.
Leanne Rees : Look, I've got an idea. I've got a spare bedroom. Why don't you move in with me? I could use the company, not to mention splitting the expenses.
Pamela Barnes Ewing : I couldn't do that. I mean, that would make the separation seem so permanent.
Leanne Rees : Isn't it?
Pamela Barnes Ewing : No! Leanne, I love Bobby. It's just, I don't think we can make it together on that ranch anymore. That serpent of a brother, J.R. He almost sent my brother to jail. He destroyed him.
Leanne Rees : Pam, we seem to have gotten along pretty well these past few weeks. Maybe you should move in until you decide what you wanna do.
Pamela Barnes Ewing : [considers] Well, it couldn't hurt to take a look. I'll come by tonight.
Leanne Rees : Terrific.
Pamela Barnes Ewing : Okay.
[smiles]

Leanne Rees : I just don't want the evening to end out here on the sidewalk. Please?
[he is, of course, going to follow her]
Leanne Rees : Come on.
