Afton Cooper
- J.R. Ewing: Afton, it's very important to me that he likes you.
- Afton Cooper: I know, but I don't even know him. Maybe he won't like me.
- J.R. Ewing: Of course he will. You just turn on that charm, honey. You're a performer. Perform.
- Afton Cooper: It's different, I don't like doing this.
- J.R. Ewing: No, it's not different. It's exactly the same as what you did for me with Cliff Barnes.
- Afton Cooper: J.R., you were in big trouble then.
- J.R. Ewing: Afton, you've been talking about getting a better singing job than the one you have at Star Drift.
- Afton Cooper: I know, but...
- J.R. Ewing: And a recording contract...
- Afton Cooper: A recording contract? Are you sure?
- J.R. Ewing: Have I ever let you down? Even once?
- Afton Cooper: [sighs] No.
- J.R. Ewing: All right. You take care of that banker, and I'll take care of you.
- J.R. Ewing: [uneasy silence, doorbell rings, he stands up, opens door] Well, Vaughn, how you doing?
- Vaughn Leland: J.R. I still don't understand why you wanted us to meet here.
- [sees Afton]
- Vaughn Leland: But I must say, I think it's a splendid idea.
- J.R. Ewing: Vaughn Leland, this is Afton Cooper, a very good friend of mine.
- Vaughn Leland: Well, I'm delighted to meet you.
- [takes her hand, all Southern gentleman charm]
- Afton Cooper: [softly] Thank you, it's nice to meet you.
- J.R. Ewing: Why don't you get Vaughn a drink? A neat Scotch. Yes. Why don't we get down to business?
- Vaughn Leland: Yes, let's do that, J.R. All right, bottom line, what's in it for me?
- J.R. Ewing: A very healthy finder's fee for securing that loan.
- Vaughn Leland: And?
- J.R. Ewing: Oh, certain perks. Delightful perks.
- Vaughn Leland: [chuckles] Well, J.R., we got a deal.
- J.R. Ewing: Good.
- [everybody's much pleased, except Afton, of course]
