      Bobby Ewing: I don't feel like celebrating. Pam finds out what you did to her brother, that's the end of our marriage.

      J.R. Ewing: Well, that's like killing two birds with one stone, I guess.

      [snickers and starts to pour himself a drink]

      Bobby Ewing: You can leave your celebrating to me.

      [walks up to J.R. and tries to punch him in the face, but Jock comes between them]
