  • Jock Ewing: [talking about his past] I was wildcatting. Ah... tough times. Men shooting, killing each other. You know, things like... like happened today.
  • Jock Ewing: All right, maybe I did lean on you too hard. But it seems to me you've waited a hell of a long time to get revenge.
  • Tom Owens: I didn't want revenge. I wanted to spit in your eye.
  • Jock Ewing: Then what's all this?
  • Tom Owens: You crushed me like a bug. And after 32 years you don't even remember my name. You're gonna pay for that.
  • [aims his rifle at Jock]
  • Jock Ewing: I don't remember you, Owens, but I should have. Because you got a lot of pride. And when you get right down to it, that's all a man can take to his grave.
  • Jock Ewing: [laughing and throwing cash to the bartender after the fight at Lenny's Bar] Three hundred bucks oughta cover it, buddy!
  • Jock Ewing: [Jock awakens to see someone under the hood of their SUV] Hold it!
  • [fires his shotgun, sniper shots follow, Jock is hit and goes down]
  • J.R. Ewing: [awakens] What is going on?
  • Bobby Ewing: Daddy's hit!
  • Ray Krebbs: Get down!
  • J.R. Ewing: DADDY!
  • Tom Owens: [Tom and Dan come up on a sleeping J.R. and Jock, Dan takes J.R.'s gun, they awaken with a start] Hold it.
  • Jock Ewing: What do you want?
  • Tom Owens: Still don't remember, Ewing? Steal a man's farm, wipe him out, and you still don't remember.
  • Jock Ewing: Now you look, Mister...
  • Tom Owens: Owens!
  • Jock Ewing: Owens, I do business with a lot of people.
  • Tom Owens: 32 years ago, you came to my farm, personally. We stood as close as we are right now. You tried to get me to sell. When I wouldn't, you spread some money around. And suddenly no one would buy my crops.
  • Tom Owens: [enters bar] EWING!
  • Jock Ewing: You talkin' to me, or all of us?
  • Tom Owens: You! Big Jock Ewing! You're in my territory now, where that name doesn't mean a damn thing!
  • Jock Ewing: Well now, since I didn't claim it did, we don't have anything to argue about do we?
  • [turns back to his table]
  • Tom Owens: Face me, Ewing! There's no one to help you here! No Ewing organization, nobody but yourself, if you're man enough!
  • Bobby Ewing: [standing up] That does it...
  • Jock Ewing: [stops him] Bobby...
  • Tom Owens: Look at me! Well, look at me!

  • Tom Owens: Don't you know?

  • Jock Ewing: So you're Tom Owens!
  • Tom Owens: Don't you even remember me?
  • Jock Ewing: I never saw you before in my life!
  • Tom Owens: Why you...
  • [throws punch, brawl insues]
  • Tom Owens: My boy and I had to start all over again, from nothing... in Landowne.
  • Ben Masters: Mr. Owens has made a lot of friends around here, Ewing.
  • Jock Ewing: Yeah, the kind of friends that ambush people.
  • Dan Owens: They all know my father's story and who ruined him in Texas. Nobody's gonna feel sorry for whatever happens here.
  • Jock Ewing: So that's it? You're gonna kill me in cold blood, huh?
  • J.R. Ewing: Listen, maybe we can make a deal, sir.
  • Jock Ewing: No, J.R.
  • [sits up]
  • Jock Ewing: All right, Owens. Come on. If you're gonna do it, do it.
  • Tom Owens: [raises rifle, then looks into Jock's unwavering eyes, lowers rifle] I can't. I'm not a killer. I thought you're were gonna shoot my boy... I was gonna kill you, and get away with it. Give the devil his due.
