Pam o’war
In “Hush, Hush, Sweet Jessie,” a seventh-season “Dallas” episode, Katherine (Morgan Brittany) enters her bedroom, followed by Pam (Victoria Principal).
KATHERINE: Come on in, Pam. I was just dressing.
PAM: I want to talk to you about the letter.
KATHERINE: Letter? What letter? [Looks through her closet]
PAM: The letter that you read to Bobby. The letter from me to my attorney before we ever field for a divorce. The letter that said that I wanted to lead a different kind of life away from Bobby. The letter that I never wrote, Katherine.
KATHERINE: [Turns to face her] Now Pam, just a minute.
PAM: Did you write it? You did, didn’t you? [Katherine turns back to the closet.] Did you write it?
KATHERINE: Well, yes. J.R. forced me to. [Chooses an outfit, faces Pam] It was all his fault.
PAM: J.R. forced you? J.R. forced you to write a letter to break up me and Bobby?
KATHERINE: [Puts on a dress, smirks] That’s right.
PAM: You’re a liar.
KATHERINE: No, I’m not. You know how much he wanted the two of you divorced. And so did I. [Fastens a belt, smiles]
PAM: I can’t believe what I’m hearing.
KATHERINE: What difference does it make to you anyway? You left Bobby, didn’t you?
PAM: He was still my husband!
KATHERINE: But you walked out on him. [Walks toward her] You didn’t want him anymore, and I did. [Retrieves a scarf from the bed, drapes it around her neck] I fell in love with Bobby from the first time I saw him. And I’ve loved him ever since, Pam. And I’m going to have him too.
PAM: [Slaps her, sending a gasping Katherine onto the bed] Listen to me. You may be my sister, but I never want to see you again. I want you out of my life for good!
Katherine rubs her cheek and glares as Pam leaves.
