Doing it for themselves
In “Fringe Benefits,” a sixth-season “Dallas” episode, Sue Ellen and Pam (Linda Gray, Victoria Principal) leave a dress shop together.
PAM: Have you decided on the color of your dress yet?
SUE ELLEN: Mhmm.
PAM: [Playfully] Well, you’re not going to tell me, are you?
SUE ELLEN: Well, I would like it to be a surprise. But, um…. Well, one thing I can you is it won’t be white.
PAM: Well, I can’t imagine why not. [They giggle.]
SUE ELLEN: I’m so glad you’re here with me today.
PAM: [Locks arms with her] Well, I enjoy being with you, Sue Ellen.
SUE ELLEN: Despite the rivalry between Bobby and J.R.?
PAM: [Seriously] Have you been thinking about that too?
SUE ELLEN: It’s odd how relationships change. I hated you when Bobby first brought you to Southfork.
PAM: That’s funny. You never showed it.
SUE ELLEN: [Smiles, touches Pam’s hand] But then you were so wonderful to me when J.R. and I were fighting over John Ross.
PAM: Well, I think you’d do the same thing for me.
SUE ELLEN: [Nods, smiles] I don’t want us to lose our friendship.
PAM: Well, there’s no reason for that to happen. It’s up to us.
SUE ELLEN: We have to try hard to not get into their fights.
PAM: I think it would be ironic after hating each other for so long and finally being friends that we lose our friendship over their fight.
SUE ELLEN: Well, we just have to make sure that doesn’t happen.
PAM: And I know we’ll try.
