Two of a kind
In “The Ewing Blues,” a sixth-season “Dallas” episode, J.R. (Larry Hagman) stands in front of his bedroom mirror, holding an icepack to his swollen face, when a smiling Sue Ellen (Linda Gray) enters the room.
J.R.: What do you find so amusing, Sue Ellen?
SUE ELLEN: Well, I was just wondering whatever happened to your ability of handling — I mean, dealing — with people.
J.R.: Well, I just forgot that cowboy has a terrible temper. He’s lucky he didn’t have his spurs on. [Sits on the bed] Rub my back, would you?
SUE ELLEN: Of course. [She removes her robe and sits behind him as he winces in pain.] I can’t wait to see you on that TV show.
J.R.: You like that sort of thing, don’t you?
SUE ELLEN: [Glides a finger down his face] I think it’s nice to be the wife of a celebrity.
J.R.: I tell you the truth, I’m kind of nervous about, about being up there, and speaking in public.
SUE ELLEN: [Giggles] Well, you’ll think of something to say. I have all the confidence in the world in you.
J.R.: Well, I’d have a lot more confidence if I had somebody up there with me.
SUE ELLEN: [Leans back] You want me on the show with you?
J.R.: [Turns to face her] If it wouldn’t be an imposition.
SUE ELLEN: You mean that, don’t you?
J.R.: We’re partners, aren’t we?
SUE ELLEN: You really mean that commitment that you made at the lake, don’t you?
J.R.: [Strokes her face] Of course I do.
SUE ELLEN: I can’t tell you how happy that makes me feel.
She leans back further and gazes at him. He smiles.
