Season 12 Quotes

12x01 - Carousel Season 12 / Episode 1: - Carousel

Lucy Ewing Cooper: I can't believe you shot him three times and missed. Next time let me know and I'll help steady the gun.
12x26 - Reel Life Season 12 / Episode 26: - Reel Life

Sue Ellen Shepard Ewing: You have nothing to worry about. I have no intention of releasing the film - at the moment.
J.R.: What the hell does that mean?
Sue Ellen Shepard Ewing: It means the movie will be locked securely in a vault. However, if I think you're coming after me - or if you cross me for any reason - or if I feel you're not doing well for John Ross, or anyone else for that matter- or if I get up on the wrong side of the bed one morning - or if I'm simply bored - then I will release the movie. And then, J.R., you will be the laughing stock of Texas.
