There's only one person that's man enough to keep that lady happy on the Southern Cross, and that sure as hell ain't you!"Yes, those were all sizzling, gasp-out-loud moments!The two examples I immediately thought of are less overt, but just as cruel in their own way. When talking to John Ross in a Season 1 episode of New DALLAS,  JR makes a point of referring to Elena Ramos as “that Mexican girl”,  despite having known her since she was a child and knowing how much she means to his son. Later in the same episode, he  attempts to get Elena onside by poking fun at John Ross: “You’re the only one that could get him to study — I doubt if he’d have ever finished a whole book if it wasn’t for you.” “He was dyslexic, not stupid,” she replies. “Yeah,” he mutters dismissively before abruptly changing the subject. It's that "yeah" that gets me -- the way Hagman delivers it speaks volumes about JR’s contempt for both the idea of dyslexia itself and his son’s struggle with it.</blockquote>
