Narrative:

In cruise; about 40 minutes from landing; the first officer noted the right hydraulic quantity going to zero. We followed the QRH procedures; declared an emergency; advised dispatch; talked to maintenance control and briefed the flight attendants. We selected the longest runway for landing; successfully accomplished the emergency gear extension procedure; landed; stopped on the runway; had the gear pinned and were towed to the ramp. We landed at about 120;000 pounds.
