800 Best Dynasty Quotes

Alexis: Did you go to the hospital today?
Amanda: As a matter of fact, I did. And you'll be disappointed to hear that, in spite of all his problems, Blake was understanding, compassionate, and sincere.
Alexis: All the things I'm not.
Amanda: Don't put words in my mouth!
Dex: Someone's got to.

[Discussing Alexis' past, and Fallon's present, infidelities]
Alexis: Well, lets just say that some women don't appreciate what they have... until they lose it.
Fallon: On the other hand, some women don't appreciate what they don't have... until they get it.

Sarah: [reading fairy-tale] "Cinderella and the prince lived happily ever after on his ranch."
Krystina: I thought they lived in a castle.
Sarah: Well, he had both. How about that?

Blake: [referring to Steven's marriage to Sammy Jo] We'll live with it. We'll get used to her and she'll get used to us. And, we'll train her to fit in the family.
Steven: Like you train your guard dogs or servants?

Sammy: Tell me something. Do you love her?
Jeff: Who?
Sammy: Fallon. Do you still love her?
Jeff: Fallon and I are history. You know that.
Sammy: [scoffs] Incredible. Just how long do you think you can keep lying to me?
Jeff: What do you mean?
Sammy: What do I mean? You must really take me for a fool!
Jeff: Sammy Jo...
Sammy: All this time, you've been lying to me. All this time!

Ted: You want me out of your brother's life?
Fallon: Yes, I do. And if you care about him at all, you will.

Krystle: I have the feeling you don't care much for Virginia. Why?
Sammy: [scoffs] Probably for the same reason I don't like rattlesnakes. Their rattles sound cute and then they stick their fangs into you.
Maitre'D: I'll have your table in a moment, Mrs. Carrington.
Krystle: Thank you. That's not fair, Sammy Jo. I've known Virginia since she was a little girl.
Sammy: No, you knew her when she was a little girl. And an awful lot can happen when a little girl starts growing up.
Krystle: [sighs] But you haven't spent much time around her. You really ought to give her a chance.
Sammy: Well, maybe. Look, can we talk about something else?
Krystle: Okay. We could talk about the wedding. And about you being my maid of honor.
Sammy: [elated] Me?

Steven: Okay, I'm in love with a man. And you're married to a man you don't love. Now you tell me something, Fallon, which one is worse? Which one is more immoral?
Fallon: What makes you think I don't love Jeff?
Steven: Come on, I can see the way you treat him. Jeff can't, he, he...
Fallon: Well, does being gay also make you clairvoyant?

Sammy: [that guy again] The office is closed.
Tony: Yeah, that's why I stopped by. This can be a pretty rough neighborhood at night.
Sammy: Well, that's very nice of you. But I'll be fine.
Tony: [scoffs] You don't look like the political type to me.
Sammy: And just what exactly is the political type?
Tony: Hey, hey, I didn't mean anything by it. You're beautiful, you know that? Really beautiful.
[his hand snakes to her shoulder]
Sammy: [shrugs him off] Please don't do that.
Tony: Hey, what's the matter?
[laughs]
Tony: I'm not gonna hurt you or anything. I like you. I... It's just I've never met anybody like you before.
Sammy: Would you please leave?
Tony: Hey, what the hell is this, the brush-off? You're all the same, aren't you? You little rich girls,
[his hand on her cheek]
Tony: you bring it down here, you flaunt it around.
[she slaps his hand away]
Tony: I saw the way you looked at me this afternoon.
Sammy: Let go of me!
Tony: In this neighborhood, sweetheart, it doesn't work like that. No, in this neighborhood, what you show, you owe.
[she slaps him through the face]
Tony: Ooh, rich and hot, I like that!

Prince: You can't feel responsible for the revolution. There was unrest in our country long before you arrived. Surely, you don't feel guilty about that?
Alexis: Oh, guilt is an emotion that I don't suffer from. Guilt is for insecure people.

Morgan: [to Alexis] You know something lady. You inspire revenge.

Walter: [to Matthew] You've got a good family, boy. Don't blow it.

Alexis: Cecil Colby, you are as handsome as ever.
Cecil: And you, my dear, are as ravishing as ever.
Alexis: Thank you. No kiss for an old friend?
[Cecil obliges]
Alexis: Would you like some wine?
Cecil: No, thank you. Why the urgent call to see you again?
Alexis: Well, I just had a strong desire for us to get together.
Cecil: Alexis, it's 16 years since we last met. Longer than that since you and I felt anything strong for each other.
Alexis: Don't you believe in burning embers?
Cecil: Don't con a con artist, darling.

Sable: First you blow up my ships, is the hotel next?
Alexis: It could be.

Jeff: I... I don't understand. Now, if... if Steven left the letters at the house, how did you end up getting them?
Sammy: Actually, Fallon was nice enough to bring it over.
Fallon: Me, nice? There goes my image.

Blake: Who are you to bring that up? A man who'd stab his mother to make a deal!

Jeff: See you tonight? Maybe take in a movie after dinner?
Fallon: Oh, I hate plans, Jeff. I also hate daddy's projection room.

Krystle: Why are you leaving, Mark? Does it have anything to do with Alexis?
Mark: Oh no, she's a nuisance. Hey! I'm on top of the world, kid. I do know someone who'd like to push me off. But, don't worry, I don't push so easily.

Blake: [as Krystle and Sammy Jo rush upstairs] Now, wait. Dr. Hampton is here.
Krystle: [stops halfway up the stairs, looks back:] Dr. Hampton... is here in Denver?
Dr. Charles Hampton: [stepping into sight] Krystle... we have to talk.
Sammy: Go ahead, Krystle, I'll find Virginia.

Alexis: Tell me about this play you're concocting in that little blond head of yours.
Krystle: It's really rather ugly - it's about us. You were scared to death I'd tell Blake what happened between us. So, you tried desperately to cover your tracks.
Alexis: This is very interesting. Do go on, Mrs. Jennings... oh, I'm so sorry, Mrs. Carrington.
Krystle: I haven't told Blake yet what happened between us Alexis because I can't prove you fired that gun to frighten my horse. But, in my soul, I know you did. And, I warn you, Alexis, I'll never forget what you caused me, not as long as I live.

Alexis: [to Leslie] However, I might be willing to write you a letter of recommendation listing all of your special talents, starting with, em... company tramp... Or should that be... company slut, which do you prefer?

Dr. Nick Toscanni: Fallon! Call me - when you grow up.

Krystle: Blake, you have a great talent for knowing where oil is and how to get it out.

Alexis: Under the circumstances, you must be terribly upset.
Krystle: Circumstances?
Alexis: Hmm... Fallon giving Blake what you are unable to give him. You must feel very left out. Absolutely shattered.

Steven: [discussing Danny] He thinks you're wonderful.
Sammy: He's just a kid. What does he know?
Steven: I'm serious, you're wonderful with him.
Sammy: That's nice to hear. You know what, Steven? I'm not all that hungry. Besides, I'm not six-two and I don't jog eight to nine miles every morning.
[Steven smiles]
Sammy: You used to do that when we were married, remember? You didn't know it, but I used to watch for you from the upstairs window, waiting for you.
[they both smile]
Sammy: Well, I'd better get going. You've got to get to the office, and I have things to do.

Cecil: [to Fallon] You can't not like Jeff. He's bright enough, he's good looking, caring. Quite a catch, some would say. Sort of a Denver version Prince of Wales.

Mark: When I heard you tell Carrington that you had never laid eyes on Rashid Ahmed in Hong Kong, I damn near fell off the terrace in laughter.
Alexis: Too bad you didn't.

Jeff: You know, Fallon, there was a time when I felt I couldn't live without you. Now, I can't stand the sight of you.

Andrew: Blake, this is not going to work. She's not a credible witness. She's a hooker. Please, let me call Claudia Blaisdel.
Blake: No.

Blake: Funny, isn't it, how the people you trust the most will do you in, cut you the closest? That's what Julius Caesar had to learn.
Joseph: Learned a little too late to do anything about it, don't you think?
Blake: Well, perhaps I should profit from Caesar's experience.

Alexis: Did you really think I wouldn't find out about the Stahl picture? The one that drained the color from your already pallid face?
Sable: I have no idea what you're talking about.
Alexis: Does the name Adolf Hitler ring a bell?

Dex: So therefore I figured we could break breadsticks together and talk about what really goes on behind closed doors.
Alexis: That's what closed doors are for to keep out the curious.

Alexis: [about Blake being Fallon's father or not] Fallon, I can't answer that! I honestly can't answer it! Blake could be your father... or...
Fallon: Or... Mother!
Alexis: ...Cecil Colby!

[last lines]
Blake: [Alexis invites Blake to her apartment to discuss business. She changes into a sexy dress] If that's the outfit you do business in, you're going to have to be a hell of a lot more 'dazzling' before I let you rob me blind.
Alexis: And just exactly what does that mean?
Blake: You heard me. If you think you're going to rob me out of anything you're very much mistaken. Because I've got Neil McVane working for me in Washington. I've got powerful contacts all over the world. I know the oil industry. You? Well, you're just a rank amateur in this business, so watch out! I've got weapons that will blast you right out of this town.
Alexis: Well, we'll see about that.
[Blake enters the elevator and the doors close]
Alexis: God, I hate you, Blake! Oh, God, I hate you!
[hurls her martini at the elevator]

Sammy: [putting on earrings] Listen, Mommy has to finish getting dressed, but I have got a great idea. How about if I call Uncle Jeff and ask him to pick one up this afternoon?
Danny: No, I don't want his football.
Sammy: Why not?
Danny: I saw what he did to you.
Sammy: What he did to me?
Danny: He kissed you like Daddy kisses you.
Sammy: [sits down in front of him] Oh, Danny.
[hugs him]
Danny: [plaintively] I promise I'll put away my toys and take baths when he asks me, if he'll come home. Why did Daddy go away?
Sammy: [swallows] Not because of you, sweetheart. Daddy loves you very much. He just needed to be by himself for a while.
Danny: Like when I go to my room and don't wanna come out?
Sammy: [nods] Just like that.
Danny: I miss him, Mom.
Sammy: So do I.
Danny: Are we ever going to see him again?
Sammy: [reassuring chuckle] Of course we will.
Danny: When?
[she has no answer to this]
Danny: You don't know, do you?
[Sammy Jo sighs]

Alexis: Would you like a drink?
Fallon: It's 11 o'clock in the morning.
Alexis: I know, I have such a hangover .

Josh: I mean your lifestyle isn't exaclty a secret in the lockerroom, so if there are any strings attached to this job...
Steven: Look Harris, I don't give a damn what you think you know or what you've heard. Believe me, the only place I want your body is down on that football field.

Fallon: If you're saying what I think you are, you're more than dumb.
Sgt. John Zorelli: Well, we did get awful close, awful fast. Maybe you were hoping that if you and I got together, then maybe I wouldn't be so hard on your old man. Look, Fallon, all I'm trying to say...
Fallon: [furiously] You insensitive, pint-sized flat-foot! You've got a lot of gal!
Sgt. John Zorelli: Oh, here we go, here we go. Poor rich girl shows her true colors.
Fallon: Well, I hope you got a good look at those colors, 'cause it will be a cold day in hell before you see them again.

Alexis: Why are you here in Denver Ms. Devereaux?
Dominique: Merely to see in person what I have heard so much about.
Alexis: Such as?
Dominique: That Alexis Colby is one of the world's most ravishing beauties. I'd buy that. That she lives in a showplace penthouse. It is exquisite.
Alexis: Thank you - Anything else?
Dominique: You adore the south of France, even though you are prone to sea sickness on yachts.
Alexis: Only small yachts
Dominique: You were kicked out of a boarding school in Gstaad and spent several months as an artist's model in Hamburg of all places.
Alexis: Wrong it was Brussels of all places and all of this is pure trivia.
Dominique: Alright on a deeper level, you are extremely vulnerable when it comes to your children and extremely ruthless when it comes to your enemies. and there are quite of few of those hanging about.
[she takes a sip of champagne]
Dominique: It's burned!
Alexis: Is it?
Dominique: The champagne was obviously frozen in the bottle at some point.
Alexis: If the champagne is too burned for your taste, don't drink it. The caviar I trust is not burned.
Dominique: I really wouldn't know. You see that is Ostatrova and I prefer Petrossian Beluga.
Alexis: [angry] Who the hell are you, anyway?
Dominique: Who am I? You will find out very soon. Very soon.
[she rises and begins to leave]
Dominique: You said this wasn't going to be a social evening. So, whatever it was, I enjoyed myself thoroughly. Thank you, Mrs. Colby.
[Dominique turns and leaves. When she reaches the elevator, she turns back and says]
Dominique: Ciao... For now!

Adam: [to Jeff] Get off your bronco, Mercedes cowboy.

Blake: Why? I am not accusing you of anything, Krystle. I'm not even accusing Toscanni. I'm merely talking hypothetically about some men who seek revenge. Of course, the classic tactic is for the avenger to turn the enemy's woman against the enemy, to poison her mind, to use her soul and body.

Sammy: Rita!
Rita,: [as she hides The National Enquirer in favor of being seen with The Denver Chronicle] It's Krystle here, remember?
Sammy: Why are you giving Blake heart medicine? Why?
Rita,: Heart medicine? Girl, I don't know what you are talking about.
Sammy: I just came from the laboratory. I had the contents of that bottle you dropped analysed. There'd been heart medicine in it. Now, what's going on?
Rita,: Nothing. Now, for God's sake, will you stop this?
Sammy: [adamant] I'm stopping nothing. Will you tell me the truth, damn it! I've gotta know what you and Joel are doing to that man?
Rita,: [sighs] We're poisoning him.
Sammy: [shocked] You're - -?
Rita,: Well, you asked, I answered. So, you can forget about our cut of your Daddy's estate. Blake Carrington's gonna sue, and I'm gonna inherit a lot. A whole lot, millions.
Sammy: It's Joel. He's been poisoning you, your mind. What's happened to you? No, Rita, you can't go through with this.
Rita,: It's already done. Now, you're in this, just as deep as we are. So you'd better keep your mouth shut, you hear? Because if you don't, well, all of us go to jail.
Sammy: [thinks this over, clearly coming to a resolution, and scene changes, inside Steven's office, where she comes rushing in] Steven!
Steven: Sammy Jo, what are you doing here?
Sammy: This is an emergency!
Steven: Which means you are in some kind of trouble.
Sammy: Listen to me, this is serious.
Steven: Look, I've gotta get back to my office.
Sammy: Steven, it's about your father! I think he's gonna die!
Steven: What the hell are you talking about?

Fallon: Alright, I sold myself. But let me tell you this, I'm ready to let the brass ring go. I have since the first night I put it on.
Blake: You keep that on and you stay married to that young man. You make that thing work!
Fallon: "Thing"? That's exactly what it is, too - a thing. Okay, so you don't like it. Neither do I. So now that it's out in the open, why don't we let the whole thing go and forget it?

Ben: [to Alexis, after being told to re-instate cancelled Lex-Dex contract] Is that all it took, a kiss from your cowboy?

Alexis: Every human is not due to inherit a fortune one day - would you really find that so hard to take?
Dr. Nick Toscanni: No, but doesn't mean her mother can buy me as a filler for her Christmas stocking.
Alexis: Fallon doesn't believe in Santa Claus, doctor.

Blake: I don't give a damn about any one of you, not after what you just did to me!
Galloway: Sam just said it, Blake. You voted 'yes' too!
Blake: I voted 'yes' because this is my company! Mine! I worked as a rigger during the daytime. At night I went to the School of Mines, winter and summers. I studied, and I sweat, and I broke my back learning the oil business. The oil business this country can't afford to do without! And I clawed my way up to a point where I founded and built Denver-Carrington to where it is today. And right now I've got a man in Washington seeing to it that it stays that way!
[Blake leans in]
Blake: I voted 'yes' because I won't give that woman a chance to remove me from a position where I can keep an eye on her! I don't intend to let her make a move, not issue one memo, not give one order, make one decision, not do anything without answering to me!

Alexis: You over-rated cowboy; you thought you owned me. Well, nobody owns Alexis.

Sean: Where are my clothes?
Servant: Right here.
[indicating a brand new set]
Sean: No, I mean my clothes.
Servant: Yes of course. You were asleep, Mrs. Colby had me dispose of them.

Larry: You have excellent taste. He's a creep. A certifiable, bona fide, double-digit IQ, creep.
Claudia: Yeah.
Larry: As a matter of fact, that guy is the sovereign state of Michigan's gift to creepdom. Now, on the other hand, eh, I'm generably regarded as fairly likeable, reasonably good looking, I'm a whiz at my job.
Claudia: And very modest.

Alexis: And begin to talk to me a little more civilly. You see, your grandson's shares of Denver Carrington and the shares Cecil worked so hard to amass are now worth more than 50% of your company, which means you are working for me.
Blake: I'll see you in hell before that happens.
Alexis: That's the future, let's continue talking about the present.

Fallon: I guess deep down, well, let's just say I'm a romantic. And Krystle's a woman in love. She's in love with you, Matthew.
Matthew: And you don't want to see the path of true love covered with tumbleweeds?
Fallon: Yeah, something like that.
Matthew: Fallon, you and I don't know each other very well, but right now I can tell you this: you're about as convincing as a rattlesnake that's been taught to purr. Now what the hell do you really want?
Fallon: Okay, cards on the table. I want you to do us all a favor. Take Krystle off my father's hands and away from him. For his sake, and for hers.
Matthew: And yours?
Fallon: And mine.

Fallon: I thought I told you that my son is not to be left alone.
Susan: Mrs. Colby, I was only out of the room for a few moments. Please remember, I'm a registered nurse, not a bonded slave.

Krystle: [handing over a present] Something to lighten your shift. It's a new novel by Rupert Harper and a box of chocolates from Harrods, mind you.
Steven: Harper and Harrods. Sounds like a law firm.

Alexis: Sammy Jo, since you're here, I wanna ask you something about, uh, about Steven living with you.
Sammy: Go on. You don't usually hesitate about anything. What exactly is it that you wanna know?
Alexis: Is he happy?
Sammy: He's always happy when he's with Danny, you know that.
Alexis: What about when he's with you?
Sammy: We share a son, Alexis. We share a lot of good memories.
Alexis: Oh, I know, but is that all you're sharing?
Sammy: I don't think that's any of your business.
Alexis: Steven's happiness is always my business, Sammy Jo. Anyway, I'll see you later at the shower. If I'm a bit late, tell the others that I'll be along as soon as I can. Bye.

Blake: You're worthwhile.
Fallon: For a girl. In this house for how many years. Steven was the boy and Fallon was the toy, a decoration. Blake Carrington's adored little doll. And for Steven, it was always an open door into business and for Fallon it was just - a new car, a new filly. I want more and you can't buy for me what I want.

Sammy: [whirls around angrily] What?
Jeff: Okay, I know. You're worried about Fallon and me working together, but... it's not going to be a problem.
Sammy: Not for her!
Jeff: Sammy Jo, Blake has had some hard times lately. He asked for my help. Besides, I... I do have an investment to look after. I happen to own a whole lot of Denver-Carrington stock.
Sammy: Out!
Jeff: What?
Sammy: Out of here!
[points to door]
Jeff: Sammy Jo, you're taking this personally. It has... It's not what...
Sammy: Not what?
Jeff: Not what you think.
Sammy: Oh, and what do I think?
[folds her arms]
Jeff: That I accepted this position so I could be near Fallon. We won't even see each other...
Sammy: Except in
[counting: ]
Sammy: your car, your office, your apartment.
Jeff: Sammy Jo, what you and I share...
Sammy: ...is deception, jealousy and lies. The same crap I've gotten from every man I've ever known.
Jeff: Oh, that's not true.
[shakes head, goes nearer to her]
Jeff: Besides, look what you do to me.
Sammy: Do to you?
Jeff: Look at you standing there looking so delicious.
Sammy: I'm not doing anything. Now, don't even give it a thought.
Jeff: But, Sammy Jo, I mean, you're not being fair. All I wanna do...
Sammy: I don't care what you want!
Jeff: All I wanna do is just kiss you and just hold you a little bit.
Sammy: Get your hands off me!
Jeff: Remember getting wild, and we start wanting each other?
Sammy: Stop it. Jeffrey, stop!
Jeff: And our bodies start trembling...
Sammy: Stop it...
Jeff: ...like your body's trembling right now.
Sammy: I'm trembling right now because I'm furious right now. That's why I'm trembling.
Jeff: That's not... that's not what your body is telling me.
Sammy: Oh, really?
[smiles]
Jeff: [hesitates] Okay, fine. That's it.
Sammy: Wait, what are you doing?
Jeff: No, you're kicking me out.
[turns to leave]
Sammy: [low growl] Jeff Colby, you go near that door and you die.
Jeff: [smiles] Okay.
[they kiss]

Krystle: What's going on in that mind of yours?
Sammy: Well maybe, Aunt Krystle, that's something for you to figure out some time - like when you're wandering around the house in the middle of the night, instead of being in bed with your husband.

Dana: [after kiss] Oh, God, I've been so worried about you. Steven told me...
Adam: That I wouldn't come back with him? I needed time to think.
[kisses her again]
Adam: Well, I took an hour, and then I caught the next flight back. And all the way, I kept trying to figure out how I was gonna ask you to forgive me.
Dana: You just have. And I do.
Adam: [kisses her again] Dana. Will you come away with me?
Dana: Anywhere.
Adam: But I can't live here anymore. Not as Michael Torrance.
Dana: Whatever you want, Michael, whatever. I just know that I have to have you near me.
[hugs him]
Adam: I want us to forget this nightmare that I've put you through.
[she nods]
Adam: I want us to start living our lives together.
[his: ]
Adam: And... I want you to marry me. Will you?
Dana: Yes. Yes, oh yes.

Cecil: C'mon, Alexis, that affair was practically a one night stand.
Alexis: How gallant! Well maybe to you, but to me it made a more lasting impression - namely, nine months of pregnancy.

Dex: [Alexis enters Dex's hospital room with gifts] I must be dying. An angel, with fruit and flowers!

D.A. Jake Dunham: I- I didn't realize that people... American people had major-domos anymore. As a matter of fact, I'm an American and I don't even know what a major-domo is. What exactly is a major-domo, Ms. Robbins?
Jeanette: Well, ehm... he's the head, eh, the administrative head of the household. Eh, Chief retainer.
D.A. Jake Dunham: Well, that's a very precise definition, Ms. Robbins. Did you look that up in a book once?
Jeanette: No, I got it from Joseph.
D.A. Jake Dunham: [audience members laugh] I'm sure you did.

Sable: Well, Jeff Colby ought to know better. Dex, there is nothing between me and Blake except for Jeff's nasty rumors. Honestly, when is he going to grow up and stop treating me like the wicked step mother.?

Sammy: [walking along after they've dismounted from horses] No matter what you say, I still don't like it.
Krystle: The company's in trouble. Blake needs Jeff to counterbalance Fallon and Adam. Actually, it's a great opportunity.
Sammy: [shrugs] Sure, for Fallon.
Krystle: [scoffs] You sound like you're jealous.
Sammy: This has nothing to do with jealousy.
Krystle: In all fairness, Fallon lost her husband to you.
Sammy: She didn't lose him. She divorced him.
Krystle: [sighs] Don't you have any feelings for Steven?
Sammy: [shakes her head] Not those feelings.
Krystle: Well, how do you know her feelings for Jeff are any different?
[smiles]
Krystle: It's a shame you two can't be friends. You have so much in common.
[Sammy Jo gives ironic chuckle]
Krystle: I don't mean Jeff.
Sammy: Haven't you ever worried about Blake?
[shrugs]
Sammy: That he might go back to Alexis?
Krystle: Yes. I have.
Sammy: How do you deal with that?
Krystle: [scoffs] Well, when you marry a man, you have to accept that he's had a past. And it isn't always that easy. Especially with someone like...
[falters]
Krystle: someone like...
[collapses]
Krystle: Blake...
[loses consciousness]
Sammy: Krystle! Krystle, wake up!
[her aunt comes to]
Sammy: Are you okay?
Krystle: What happened?
Sammy: You fell.
Krystle: I was just dizzy. It'll pass.
Sammy: This happens a lot, doesn't it?
Krystle: [gets up] No, no. No, I'm better.
Sammy: [sitting down with her] You're talking to me like I don't know anything. I mean, you disappeared for days. You... you've had tests done in L.A. Now, I've avoided the subject long enough. What's going on with you? I care about you.
Krystle: I'm okay.
Sammy: You are not okay. What did the doctor say?
Krystle: Sammy Jo, it's late, and... Blake's hosting a party for... a few of his major campaign contributors...
[tries to get up again]
Sammy: You're not up to that! He should have cancelled!
Krystle: He wanted to. But this... is an important night...
[gets up shakily]
Sammy: Tell me what's happening with you.
Krystle: I'm fine.
[takes her niece by the shoulders]
Krystle: Really.
Sammy: I'm coming tonight.
[steadying her aunt]
Sammy: I wanna be there to help you.

Blake: I control Denver Carrington with the proxies of the shareholders who trust me. How long are they going to trust a man who's been branded a killer?

Father: [to Sammy Jo:] I just... What you did today... Thank you. For a tiny woman, you sure talk tall.

Steven: Thank you, Dr. Chen, for giving me a face I'll be able to live with. I owe you a lot more than just money.

Adam: [to Kirby] But instead of trying to understand me, you're trying to play some stupid game - the hard to get special. Well, it doesn't exactly suit the girl who I knew very well - the night she wasn't all that hard to get.

Adam: I will ask you something else while we're at it. What--a hypothetical what--but what would you do if you were forced into the position of having to fight me as well?
Blake: I'd fight. Hard. With everything that's in me. I'd fight you both, my ex-wife and my son. And you'd better believe that.
Adam: Somehow, I do.

Hooker: Was she pretty, the other one?
Steven: Yes, she was from Georgia.
Hooker: Well, that doesn't necessarily make her pretty.

Policeman: [pointing a gun at Blake] You are under arrest.
Blake: Good! Get me down to headquarters as fast as you can.

Krystle: [frantic] Are you sure she's not upstairs?
Jeanette: I checked her room again, Mrs. Carrington, and she's not there. I thought she might be with Mrs. Curtis, but she's gone.
Krystle: [desperate] Have you looked in the library?
Jeanette: Yes, but I'll do so again.
Gerard: [entering] Mrs. Carrington, I looked outside to see if Krystina was saying goodbye to Mrs. Curtis, but I didn't see either of them.
Krystle: Would you call security, Gerard?

Alexis: I have no intention of standing here and arguing with you and catching pneumonia!

Sammy: I've lost you, Steven. And now I feel like I'm losing Danny, too.
Steven: [sighs] I know how you feel right now.
[toying with her collar]
Steven: Why can't you understand what I'm going through?
Sammy: I try to.
Steven: [shakes head] But you can't. Or you won't.
Sammy: I do try. And sometimes I wonder why we can't reach some sort of a compromise. Can't we put the pain that Danny's going through before ourselves?
Steven: [turning away] What do you suggest we do? We live a sham? That we pretend that we're a family, and then it falls apart when he gets older and realizes that nothing in his life was real?
Sammy: Our love for him is real.
Steven: Then he's gonna get it from us separately.
Sammy: Except he's finding it so hard. But you,
[advances]
Sammy: you don't really care, do you? You're into some sort of self-pity right now.
Steven: Sammy Jo, listen to me...
Sammy: No, I'm tired of listening to your empty words. Because that's what they are to me. Empty. So if you just came here to do nothing, don't bother coming back again.
[eyes: ]
Sammy: Get out, Steven. Just get out.

Jeff: You're beginning to mean a lot to me, Claudia.
Claudia: Well, I hope so. I mean I don't exactly put a sign out on my door saying welcome to my bed - whoever.

Sable: Oh, doing your daily exercises, Jeffrey - opening mouth, and putting foot in.

Fallon: Have you ever tried it with any girl? You haven't, have you? Steven, if you haven't even tried, how are you going to know who you really are? Or what you are?
Steven: Maybe I'll never know, Fallon.

Blake: [as Jeff is quitting Denver Carrington] I didn't hire you because you are my son in law.
Jeff: Correction! *Past tense* because I won't be for long!
Blake: What does that mean?
Jeff: It means I'm divorcing Fallon.
Blake: Did she ask for one?
Jeff: Oh yes! She *asked* for it!
Blake: When?
Jeff: Yesterday.
Blake: When yesterday?
Jeff: When she walked into that clinic and *destroyed* my child.
Blake: Fallon *didn't* have the abortion.

Jeff: You know, sometimes you almost make me ashamed of being a Colby
Cecil: Oh, then change your name. I won't mind.
Jeff: I just might do that.
Cecil: Really, to what?
Jeff: Carrington. Blake offered to adopt me. I said no but considering what you done to our name...

Sgt. John Zorelli: It's already morning. Don't you think you should go home?
Fallon: But I don't wanna go home.
[smiles, clears away cereal bowl from bed]
Fallon: Not just yet.

Andrew: You know, Fallon? Most little girls realize by the age of six that they can't grow up and marry their daddies.
[Fallon attempts to slap him]
Andrew: Friends shouldn't fight.
Fallon: You're right. Bye, Andy.
[kisses his cheek]

Blake: Yes, Claudia Blaisdel, and I hate your guts for what you've done to her.
Cecil: She's no better than a prostitute, Blake.
Blake: What?
Cecil: Face it. She slept with your son-in-law for profit while his wife, your daughter, was delivering your grandson. Now, doesn't that make her a prostitute?
Blake: [Punches Cecil] That's for the pimp who made her a prostitute.

Blake: Amanda? My God, it's the middle of the night! Are you all right?
Amanda: I'm sorry. I didn't mean to wake you.
Blake: Nonsense. That's what children are for: to keep their parents from sleeping at night.

Jeff: Sammy Jo, wait a minute.
Sammy: Don't you tell me you have a headache.
Jeff: [chuckles nervously] That's right. Uh... no, actually, you caught me off guard, I guess.
Sammy: I hope so. How many women come to your house at the crack of dawn with a bottle of champagne, and, actually, not much more?
[loosens draw-string]

Adriana: He knows you very well. Very... very intimately.
Alexis: Well, that could be a regiment.

Steven: You know something, Cecil. You may care. My mother may care. But Blake Carrington? He doesn't care, not about me. You see, I'm his big disappointment.

Adam: I look you in the eye and what do I see? That maybe your head is still a bit screwed up. Well, I can understand that. Kirby can really get a man going. She is, as they say, one sexy doll.
Jeff: What?
Adam: Didn't you hear me?
Jeff: Don't you ever talk about my wife that way again, do you hear me?
Adam: Sorry. That was chauvinist of me. What I meant to say was she's one sexy, one very sexy woman. I ought to know.
Jeff: How do you know? That night at the motel she was fighting you off.
Adam: That night at the motel? Well, if that's all Kirby chooses to tell you about us...
Jeff: You miserable creep!
[takes Adam by the lapels and shoves him against a wall]
Jeff: If you ever imply anything about my wife ever again, I'll kill you. So help me, I'll kill you.

Sable: Hello Alexis. Glad to see you've uh, sobered up.
Alexis: And now my hangover's arrived. Go away, catch a mouse or something.

Alexis: A few hours ago you threw what amounted to a blackmail threat at me.
Adam: Did I?
Alexis: Don't interrupt! You threw a vile threat and then you stalked out of here before I had a chance to take that threat and slap it across your arrogant face!

Claudia: I just don't want to feel hurt anymore. Am I wrong?
Steven: No, you're not wrong. Wrong is when you hurt somebody. That's the only wrong I know.

Tracy: [to Alexis] Why don't YOU sleep with him? I hear that's your specialty. And don't bother saying, "You"re fired, Miss Kendall" - because Miss Kendall just quit.

Sammy: That's not true.
Buck: [through drunken stupor] Hmm?
Sammy: You've obviously been reading those lies in the Denver Mirror.
Clay: And for you to attack Sammy Jo-...
Sammy: I can speak for myself, Clay. Thank you. There was a time, Mr. Fallmont, when I couldn't speak for myself, because I didn't know who I was. But what I know now is that I made a lot of mistakes. And thanks to Blake and Krystle, I discovered I do have some value. The only thing that counts is bring honest with yourself and not blaming others for your own mistakes. It's a shame you do not know them better. You could learn something from them too.
[Mr. Fallmont even seems to sober up somewhat, and Mrs. Fallmont smiles]
Sammy: Now,
[rising from the table]
Sammy: if you'll excuse me...
[starts leaving]
Sammy: I'm sorry, Mrs. Fallmont.
Emily: Me too.
Clay: Sammy Jo - -
[glares at inebriated father, then leaves]

Krystle: I'm thinking about you and my husband.
Alexis: Yeah, I would too if I were you. Say what you like, Krystle, about Blake and me in Italy together for those few days. And think that maybe, just maybe, we're two people who are really meant for each other.

Alexis: I've done certain things in my life that I'm not proud of, but I think I've often had regrets about them.
Adam: As in Krystle's baby?

Sammy: [after kiss, as he leans in for another] Josh, I can't.
Josh: Why are you always fighting me? I mean, we're good together. When I'm with you, I... I feel that I can take on the world.
Sammy: [turns away] Why are you making this so difficult?
Josh: Because...
[takes her by the shoulders]
Josh: I'm in love with you. And I know you're in love with me. You're just too dang stubborn to admit it.
Sammy: [smiles, scoffs] You just won't listen.
Josh: I heard everything I needed to hear last night. You care about me, I know you do. Marry me.
Sammy: [scoffs] What?
Josh: Maybe this will help.
[kneels]
Josh: Sammy Jo... I want you to be my wife.
Sammy: [shakes her head] Josh... it can't be. Don't you understand that?

Blake: You are my daughter, and you're a Carrington. And you will not shame this family nor will you shame me.
Fallon: You can't just go around beating up every man in Colorado I sleep with.
Blake: Try me, Fallon. Try me! Now, you're married to Jeff. You make that marriage work, do you understand?

Blake: [disgusted seeing Ben and Alexis together] My, my, what a pretty sight. The scorpion and the cobra.

Blake: Where's my brother?
Alexis: How should I know? I'm not a social secretary, nor am I your brother's keeper.
Blake: I know who's behind this little scheme, bringing Ben to my house last night. What I don't know is what the hell you're up to.
Alexis: [laughs] You don't really expect me to answer that, do you? I answer to no man and you know it.
Blake: I could make a long list of the rotten things you've done in your time. But now you've gone too far. I can play at this too. Whatever you're plotting, I'm gonna fight you. I'm gonna fight you with everyhing I've got.
Alexis: If you've quite finished with your petty threats, why don't you take this piece of information with you? I don't care what you think about me or anything that I do or what I don't do. Because I no longer have any interest in any of you. You or the Carrington clan or Dex or your daughter, Amanda.
Blake: Amanda has got nothing to do with this. I'm talking about you, you and your filthy games.
Alexis: Oh, I learned those filthy games from a master, you. I've also learned how to match you, Blake. So watch out. Because not only am I gonna match you this time, but I'm going to see to it that you get down on your knees and beg for mercy. And when you do, I'm going to be there, watching and cheering. And waiting to see you rot.
Blake: You're gonna have a long wait, Alexis.

Michael: Listen, about tonight, I got a date.
Fallon: Pay her ten dollars and enjoy.

Krystle: [Exiting Alexis' office] I love your desk. The tusks are so you!

Sammy: I don't wanna think about it. What you're suggesting is so outrageous. Tanner is a priest. And a priest is a priest!
Jeff: But you didn't find out about it until...
Sammy: Stop it, I don't wanna hear any more. If you don't wanna be with me, fine!
Jeff: Sammy Jo, all I'm trying to say is... Come on, just... relax, would you? And have some coffee.
Sammy: I don't want your coffee. I come all the way over here, and all you can give me is instant coffee and... and suggest something so horrible.
Jeff: If I'm saying something so horrible, why are you getting upset?
Sammy: I don't want your instant coffee or a frozen breakfast.
[rises]
Sammy: So when you thaw out, Jeffrey, give me a call.
[leaves]

Fallon: [arguing with Jeff] I don't need you to speak for me, I don't need anybody getting between my father and me!
Jeff: You and your father. That's what this is all about, isn't it? We're not fighting about spaceships!

[last lines]
Alexis: And as for Mark Jennings, you should thank me for bringing him back.
Blake: Oh, yes? Why would I do that?
Alexis: Oh, you'll find out soon enough.
Blake: I'll find out what?
Alexis: Wait. Just wait. I never like to spoil the ending of a play. Or a movie or a book. A romantic tragedy. Some people might call it a farce.
Blake: Now what the hell does that mean?
Alexis: That means that what you thought you had... you never really had at all.

Cecil: [Cecil has a heart attack while making love to Alexis] I can't breathe!
[gasps in horror]
Alexis: [slapping him] Cecil! Cecil! Don't you dare die on me! Cecil, you can't die on me! We're getting married tomorrow! You can't die on me, Cecil! I need you, Cecil! Don't you die on me! I need you to get Blake! Cecil! Cecil!
[he lapses into unconsciousness]

Blake: This won't be considered simple assault, it will be homosexual assault.

[last lines]
Judge: Now, please answer the question again.
Stephen: He stood there, okay?
D.A. Jake Dunham: But your sister, Mr. Carrington, testified that Mr. Denard was the one who pushed, who shoved, who lunged, who attacked your father. Isn't that true? Isn't that what your sister has told this court?
Stephen: My sister lied.
[the courtroom gasps]
Stephen: She lied.

Amanda: [restaurant table, La Mirage] So, do we talk about her over the first course, or should we wait for dessert?
Prince: Elena.
Amanda: The determined Duchess of Branagh who followed you all the way from Moldavia to Denver.
Prince: To help my father regain his throne. There's nothing personal.
Amanda: If you insist. Look, Michael, as far as I'm concerned, you can do whatever you like with her. Just keep her out of my sight.
[Michael scoffs, raises his glass]
Elena,: [enters restaurant, wearing bare-shouldered evening dress] Good evening, Your Highnesses. I couldn't help but notice the two most attractive people in the room.
[her manner very haughty towards Amanda, taunting]
Prince: Elena, how nice to see you. Please, come and join us.
Elena,: Thank you. Ahem.
[gives Amanda a smugly satisfied look]
Elena,: Michael, I've heard from the underground. The man called Dmitrov, our key contact, he's been captured.
Amanda: [impatiently] Elena, my husband and I are having dinner right now. So, would you mind continuing your discussion tomorrow?
Prince: Amanda!
Elena,: Michael.
[quite satisfied with this development]
Elena,: Allow me, please.
[leaning forward, thinly-veiled aggression]
Elena,: There are people's lives at stake here, and every moment we delay could cost more.
Amanda: Every moment? Isn't that a little bit of an exaggeration?
Prince: [intervening] Elena, why don't we meet on this first thing in the morning? You see, I did promise my wife a very special dinner.
Elena,: Of course.
[derisive look at Amanda]
Elena,: Excuse me, Your Highnesses.
[very coldly saying that last word, aimed at Amanda - then leaves, mission clearly accomplished]
Amanda: [to Michael, as she rises] Will you excuse me for a moment?
[clearly going after Elena, as Michael just sits there shaking his head]

Jeff: This morning at the beach, when we were, when we were kissing...
Sammy: Yeah?
Jeff: In front of all the seagulls...
Sammy: [laughs] Yeah?
Jeff: They didn't seem to mind, did you?

Alexis: [discussing Krystle] Who was she throwing those plates at, anyway?
Adam: Nobody. She was just throwing them.
Alexis: How ridiculous! You don't just throw things, you throw them *at* somebody. What is wrong with her?

Clay: [at tennis court, as Sammy Jo sits down] Oh, hi, Amanda.
Amanda: Clay, how are you?
[without: ]
Amanda: Sammy Jo.
Clay: Coming or going?
Amanda: Going. I've just finished a lesson.
Clay: Come on, I've seen you play. You could give lessons.
Sammy: [snidely] And a lot of things, from what I've heard.
Amanda: Thanks, Sammy Jo. From what I've heard, you're doing well too.

Krystle: You wanna know the truth about Nick and me? I'll make it easy on you. Yes, I was attracted to him.
Blake: You were attracted to him.
Krystle: But I fought it.
Blake: But you fought it.
Krystle: Yes, it wasn't easy, I'll admit that. But...
Blake: But what?
Krystle: But I never forgot I was your wife.

Jeff: [leading her away from the crime scene] Come on.
Sammy: Jeff, we gotta tell them about Krystle.
Jeff: Why?
Sammy: Because she was here. We have her diary.
Jeff: Give me that!
Sammy: No!
[clutches it]
Jeff: Look, you don't want those guys going through her diary, do you?
Sammy: I don't care if it will help find her.
Jeff: [sighs] Look, maybe Krystle took a ride. Maybe she, uh... she wanted to... get some time alone from Blake.
Sammy: And maybe whoever killed him
[looks back at where the police are dealing with the body]
Sammy: may have gotten to her too.
Jeff: Sammy Jo, we've scoured this place. The only thing we've found is some car tracks and some footprints around the lake. They're probably Krystle's, and if they are, she drove off. If she saw anything, she would have called the police.
Sammy: What if she couldn't?
[to which he has no answer]

Fallon: I was as much a part of it as he was! It wasn't even his idea; it was mine!
Blake: I know that.
Fallon: So why don't you have me beaten up?
Blake: I probably should have, but I know that won't stop you.

Fallon: Tell me something, my dear little sister-in-law, have you always been a thief or did you just pick up the habit after moving into my house?
Sammy: Oh! You mean the necklace.
Fallon: I mean my necklace!
Sammy: Oh, come on, Fallon, I only borrowed it. Maybe because no one ever gives me anything around here.
Fallon: [grabs Sammy Jo and spins her around] So you just take things? Let me tell you something. You are what you are: my brother's biggest mistake. You could try and change that by trying to be a decent human being, try to live up to what being a Carrington really means.
[Sammy Jo laughs]
Fallon: You find that funny?
Sammy: Yes! I find that very funny. I mean, you high-and-mightying me. I may only be a Carrington by marriage, but you're not even one by birth!
Fallon: What are you talking about?
Sammy: See, like Steven told me, Blake Carrington isn't your real daddy, which makes you what we used to call back home a bastard!
[chuckles]
Fallon: You miserable liar! You vicious, miserable liar!
Sammy: Oh, am I?
[walks over to the door]
Sammy: Well, why don't you ask your mother?
[turns back to Fallon]
Sammy: Afraid, Fallon? What's the matter, cat got your high and mighty tongue?
[leaves the room chuckling]

Alexis: Dominique. Wasn't there a singing nun by that name?
Dominique: If there was, you'd better start praying to her.

Alexis: [answering the phone] Hello? Yes, she is here; put him on.
[hands the phone to Amanda]
Alexis: It's Prince Michael, calling for you, and remember, it's "Your Highness."
Amanda: [taking the phone] Hello, Michael!

Sammy: [hostage coming out] Matthew wants to talk to you, Blake. He wants to discuss his safe return to Peru. And if you agree to this, he'll free the others.

Blake: And you want Michael hired back, and Jospeh scolded?
Fallon: Well, I said reprimanded, but scolded will do just fine.
Blake: Well, you lose this one, Fallon.
Fallon: What does that mean?
Blake: Joseph was simply carrying out my orders. The decision to fire my chauffeur and your... in-house stud was mine.
Fallon: Michael paid for his mistakes. Why did you have to fire him? Why?
Blake: Because he was lazy and inept, that's why.

Fallon: I hate what it's doing to me.
Krystle: Hate the incredible miracle of giving life?
Fallon: Miracle! Any cat can do it with less fuss.

Alexis: "Good night". This is not a "good night". It's about as rotten a night as I've ever known.

[first lines]
Blake: [coming back from their attempt to check up on the collection] I still can't believe that there's nothing down there. Not a... painting, not a piece of jewelry.
Dex: There's nothing. The vault is clean. Blake, I shined a light all along the passageway. I nearly froze down there.
Blake: Are you sure you looked at everything very carefully?
Dex: The only thing I found was the seal embedded in the mud.

Fallon: [sees the photographs] Oh, God, what an idiot I've been. Daddy was right. You were just seeing me so that you could spy on him.

Dominique: Won't it just knock their socks off when they find out... I'm a Carrington.

Steven: [about Blake] Yeah? Maybe he could take out an ad in the Denver Chronicle. "My son slept with a woman. He's not a freak after all'.

Fallon: Wait 'till Lenore comes down those stairs wearing those river pebbles she calls emeralds. Hm! She'll make Fritzie sell the Cornice and fly to South America for replacements.

Alexis: Come on, let's go back to the studio, I want you to see my wedding dress.
Cecil: I've already seen it, Alexis.
Alexis: Well, I know you've seen it on me. Now, I want you to see it off me.

Krystle: [after a particularly nasty catfight with Alexis] If you want a rematch, just whistle... if you can!

Cecil: Here's to you, Krystle. In honor of your having married the second richest and the second handsomest and the second smartest man in Colorado.

Alexis: [while trapped in a burning cabin with Krystle] This is all your fault! Everytime you come into my life something terrible happens to me!

Sammy: Josh, I'm not ready to marry anybody.

Sammy: [chuckles] Fallon, I wasn't shot in the head. I can still put two and two together. Now, the last time we talked, it was puppy love. And now you're playing hide-and-seek with him. What's going on?
Fallon: Nothing. I just don't wanna talk to him right now.
Sammy: Oh, come on, how can you be mad at such a cute little...
Fallon: Dogs can be cute too. And when you go to pet them, they bite.
Sammy: What did he do to you? Ooh, don't tell me. Handcuffs!
[chuckles merrily]

Adam: [while they're awaiting Alexis] Comb your hair, Dex. Mother doesn't like used equipment.

Alexis: I've come to ask you for your autograph. Congratulations. Sister Dearest is a wonderful piece of fiction.
Cassandra: [though drunk, bolts right up at the news, about to wet her pants] You mean you've read it?
Alexis: Well, of course I've read it. It doesn't take very long. It's like a comic book without the pictures.

[last lines]
Steven: He's not breathing. You've killed him.
[cradling his friend's bloodied head]
Steven: Ted? Ted?

Blake: Our child, when we have one - and I know we're going to have one soon - we'll call him Blake, all right? Our child. The one that you will give me.

Alexis: I hear that you saw Blake yesterday?
Adam: That's right.
Alexis: And what did he have to say, other than gloating about his triumph?
Adam: That he was ready to do battle with you. That he was tired of your manipulations.
Alexis: Ha! I invented that word! Well, whenever he wants a good fight, I'm ready.

Fallon: Take Miss Bethany, now. The innocence of Marie Osmond, the eyes of Grace Kelly, the smile of Goldie Hawn - it does rather look like she was put together out of spare parts, doesn't it?

Rashid: As for the rest of the deal, you have my hand on it.
Blake: I'd rather have it in writing, Ahmed, if you don't mind.

Dana: Adam's not here, Mr. Carrington.
Ben: Well, in that case, I'd like you to handle this.
Dana: Whatever it is, the answer's no. I don't take orders from you. I only take orders from Adam.
Ben: I understand that's not all you're taking from him. Oh, I'm quite aware of his suite at the Carlton, of your rendezvous, of the very long, very long lunches.
[she smirks, tries walking past him, he seizes her by the arm]
Ben: Not so fast!
Dana: Let go of me!
Ben: You had me fooled. When you refused to tell me what was in Blake's personal files, I thought you were operating with integrity. But you were just looking for a better customer, weren't you?

Alexis: Look, I've known young men who decide maybe homosexuality is not their lifestyle after all. So, they decide to settle down and marry. Except that they marry too fast and they marry the wrong woman. Maybe even some tart they pick up in a bar.

Luke: I'm going to die, Steven.
Steven: I don't want to hear that, do you understand?
Luke: I know it, and you know it, so let me just say what I'm going to say. Try not to forget me, what we had, too soon.

Fallon: I hate the George Cinq Hotel.
Blake: Well, call him up, tell him you're coming and for him to move to the Meurice.
Fallon: I loathe the Meurice. Do you know they used it for Nazi headquarters during the war? Suppose I found myself sleeping in... Field Marshal Göring's favorite room?
Blake: I tell you, if it comes to a showdown between you and Göring's ghost, you know where I'd put my money.

Alexis: [looking over her old paintings] I'm revisiting my past, checking up on my progress as an artist. I wasn't very good, was I, Joseph?
Joseph: I'm not a critic.
Alexis: Tinker, tailor, house spy, perjurer. But not a critic. Oh, well, I don't suppose we can be everything to everyone.

Krystle: [during TV interview] Before you took over ColbyCo on the death of your second of four husbands, tell me, did you ever hold down a job?
Alexis: If you're asking me was I ever a secretary who's main job it was to bring coffee to a male chauvinist boss, the answer is no.

Jeff: I had a couple of interviews with out of state papers.
Blake: Let me guess. About that video tape, right?
Jeff: Well, why talk about the real issues when you can exploit a good scandal?
Blake: Hm-hm. It comes with the territory. Good news is just but good, evil news, why, that's sensational.

Claudia: They were faceless to me. Then one night last week I had a terrible feeling I was meeting one of them.
Dr. Jordan: Where? The butcher's? The baker's? Outside of Lucy Sorella's brothel?

Steven: Sammy Jo, should I just go back to bed-?
Sammy: No, no, no, no, no. I'm sorry, I didn't mean for it to sound like that. It's just that I really do know how she's feeling. Loving someone who doesn't love you back.
[he looks at her, and she sighs]
Sammy: And the truth is, when you walked into the room, I wasn't thinking about Dana. I was thinking about me.
Steven: [nods] And that made you sad?
Sammy: [looking away, little laugh] I've been happy these past few weeks, I really have. Danny has his parents again, and you've been very good to me, and... and it's been a home again. But being together again like this, so close, it makes me remember how it was. And I can't lie to myself anymore about my feelings. I'm just afraid they might push you away.
Steven: You know, it hasn't been easy for me, either, for a lot of reasons. Maybe not all the same as yours, but... just as real. I came out here because I knew you were up. I guess maybe, I was remembering too.
Sammy: What are you saying?
Steven: All I'm saying is that...
[sighs]
Steven: when I look at you... I feel.
Sammy: [encouraging:] What do you feel, Steven?
[he sighs, she cups his chin, looking into his eyes]
Sammy: You know what I feel when I think about you? I feel beautiful.
[he smiles]
Sammy: And warm, and loving... and safe.
[warm smile]
Sammy: You make me feel all of that, Steven. And sometimes it's hard to hide that from you. Remember the first time we made love? And how it started?
Steven: Yeah. You said nobody kisses anymore.
[she nods]
Steven: Really kissed.
Sammy: And...?
Steven: And... we kissed.
Sammy: [kisses him] And kissed
[again]
Sammy: and kissed. And kissed.
[embraces him close]
Sammy: God, Steven, I missed you so much.

Steven: So it's really over then?
Sammy: Yeah.
Steven: I'm sorry. I mean... I want you to be happy.
Sammy: You know what makes me happy, Steven? It's when I see Danny running across the yard to the stable, wanting to feed Valez a sugar cube. And... and watching his eyes light up when he sees me. I've been waiting so long for that.
Steven: You're great with him. He loves you.

Dan: Anybody ever dared tell you, Mr. Carrington, you're not much fun to deal with?

Dominique: Alexis, I didn't thank you for your present.
Dominique: [she slaps Alexis]
Alexis: [rubbing her newly slapped cheek] It is he you should slap, my dear... not I.

Detective: All right. I want you to tell me who you think might have wanted you...
Alexis: "Wasted?" Isn't that the expression you use?
Detective: They use. TV movies. We usually just say "dead."

Steven: [to Blake] How would you know anything about what I do or what I don't do? From the time mother left, I'm not sure you'd have known who I was if I didn't come into the house wearing a name tag.

Dex: I don't want to lose you to anything.
Alexis: That's right, Dex. You can't lose me. You can't lose something you never had in the first place. This conversation is becoming boring - do you know that?
Dex: You want to be left alone.
Alexis: Yes. I do enjoy my own company, just as much as you enjoy it.

Sammy: I can take care of myself, Clay. I don't need you watching out for me.
Clay: Oh, you need me, Sammy Jo. You need me as much as I need and love you. I told you once that I was never gonna let you go, and I'm not.
[burly security guard escorts him out]
Sammy: [straightening Steven's jacket] I'm sorry.
[he smiles at her, they look into each other's eyes]

[last lines]
Alexis: I'm moving in.

Jeff: My God, a woman who doesn't even want to see her own baby. I mean what kind of monster are you?
Fallon: I'm me.
Jeff: That's right, you're you. You're inhuman.

Krystle: [answering phone as Mrs Gunnerson brings in little Krystina] Hello, Sammy Jo.
Sammy: Hello, Aunt Krystle. Did... did I catch you at a bad time?
Krystle: No, I'm in no rush.
Sammy: Well, Clay's still gone, and I was feeling a little lonely.
[while Krystle picks up Krystina onto her lap]
Sammy: I went to the site yesterday to talk to him, to tell him the truth about the pregnancy,
[shrugs]
Sammy: but... he was off somewhere else working.
Krystle: Well, did you leave him a message?
Sammy: Yeah, but I guess he isn't back yet, or he's too busy,
[nervous laugh]
Sammy: I don't know.
Krystle: Well, why don't you wait a while, and if he doesn't call you back, then call him again?
Sammy: All right. I will. Goodbye.
Krystle: Goodbye.
[puts down phone]
Krystina: [has waited her turn patiently] Hi, Mommy.
Krystle: Oh, hi, sweetheart. Are you and Mrs Gunnerson making cookies?
Mrs. Gunnerson: Oh, yes, she's gonna be the best cookie maker in all of Denver.
Jeanette: [to Krystina] And are you gonna save some for me and your Mommy?
Krystina: [generously] Yes. All of them.
[everybody laughs]

Rashid: You have exceedingly good taste in wives, Carrington.

Mark: Fallon, I'd like to kiss you.
Fallon: Mark, don't spoil it.

Alexis: Adam, they are ruining me. They are stripping me of Colby Co. and everything else I own. If hey are going to bring me down, I'm going to bring every one of them down with me.

Alexis: Oh, you are such a romantic, aren't you? You remind of the first man that I fell in love with when I was 17 years old.
Sean: Blake.
[Alexis does not answer]

Sammy: [in stables] Clay, meet Valez. This is my son's favorite horse.
Clay: He's a beauty. And you're phenomenal, you know that?
[she gives a radiant smile]
Clay: Yesterday, I find you pouring over your accounts, now you're playing vet to an Arabian.
Sammy: Ah, it's just a scrape.
[looks up at him, smiling]
Sammy: But I'm glad you came by. Maybe we can go for a ride or something.
Clay: Well, that's kind of what I had in mind, a ride. Or something.

Krystle: The time's come for us Blake, to decide. We can either save our marriage or end it. I prefer we save it.
Blake: [sarcastic] What a remarkable coincidence. So would I.
Krystle: [sighing] Then you have to listen to me. Daniel Reece...
Blake: Yes? What about Daniel Reece?
Krystle: Well, I think of him... I've always thought of him as a friend. He may have misunderstood that but... he knows now that there's only one man that I love. And that's you.
Blake: He KNOWS that?
Krystle: Yes, I told him.
[Blake says nothing, lights some candles]
Krystle: and he also told me that... you saved his life.
Blake: I just wanted to give you freedom to make a choice between us.
Krystle: Didn't you hear what I just said? Don't you WANT to hear it? I made my choice a long time ago.
[moves to touch Blake's face]
Krystle: It's YOU I love.
Blake: [softening, pulls Krystle down to his side] Do you know how much I love you?
[kisses her passionately, and they begin making out]
Krystle: Oh Blake... Blake. All that time you were missing, all those terrible hours! I kept thinking one thing... how empty my life would be without you.
Blake: [still kissing Krystle] And all I kept thinking was how... I couldn't bear to live without you.

[first lines]
Alexis: We'd better let you get some sleep.
[pulls covers over her daughter]
Fallon: I'm still a little shaky.
Blake: [as Alexis nods] I'm sure you are.
Fallon: I killed someone. I can't believe it. I killed a man.
Alexis: No, darling. You must not think of it like that. You saved my life. That's what you did.
Blake: Your mother's right, you know. It's all over. From now on, everything's gonna be fine.
Alexis: Good night, my sweet. May flights of angels sing thee to thy rest.
Fallon: [smiles dreamily] You said that to me every night when I was a little girl.
Blake: You're still our little girl. Goodnight.
Alexis: Goodnight.
[Fallon turns over to sleep]

Alexis: My husband came into the bedroom, and he... he found us together. He started shouting hideous words at me. And then he picked up a candlestick, a large, brass candlestick, and he started hitting Roger with it. He hit him on the head. He hit him on the chest. He nearly killed him.
[Courtroom bursts into excited murmurs]
Judge: [banging his gavel] Order!
Jake: Blake Carrington almost killed Roger Grimes.

Sammy: [as he enters] Why does Danny need any therapy?
Steven: [closes door] He needs help because he has been living with confusion all his life, and it's finally caught up with him.
Sammy: You are the confusion, Steven. You and the interesting life you've led all...
Steven: Let's not talk about me. Let's talk about our son.
Sammy: You are manipulating Danny. And I will not have it. I got married last night. I'm Mrs. Clay Fallmont now. It's quite a name in Colorado. And I intend to use it, in court, to get my son back. And I'll win this time. So you can tell your therapist to stop wasting her time. Because Danny's not going to be here much longer.
[leaves]

Alexis: Amanda, he's kind, he's intelligent, he's a prince! What more do you want?

Jeff: Now, come on. Let's grab this moment. Let's get married. Say you'll marry me.
Sammy: [smiles] Look, this is a big step for both of us. Just give me a little more time, please?
[he strokes her cheek]

Blake: Just what is your connection to Rashid Ahmed?
Alexis: What connection is there ever between powerful, attractive men and lonely divorced women?

Blake: Of course. I forgot. The American Psychiatric Association has decided that it's no longer a disease. That's too bad; I could have endowed a foundation. The Steven Carrington Institute for the Treatment and Study of Faggotry. Now, if you'll excuse me, I've got to go get married.

[last lines]
Steven: Do you know how important this night is to me, Claudia? You see, I, uh, I've never really been with a woman before. And that's why I wonder...
Claudia: You don't have to wonder, Steven. There's a beautiful gentleness about you, a tenderness that transcends gender. That's something you're never going to lose, no matter what happens after tonight.

Blake: Sometimes people fall from heights. I know that, my friend. But, I'm not afraid from falling because this deal is a natural. It's a once in a lifetime thing and nothing and no one is going to screw it up for me.

Sammy: You seem to have the wedding well in hand.
Alexis: Yes, I intend to give my son the perfect start in his new life.
Sammy: Dana will be very happy to hear that.
Alexis: [cold smirk on her lips] Well, at least one of my sons is involved with the right woman.
[Sammy Jo fights the urge to react to this, and turns away, heading upstairs]
Alexis: Sammy Jo!
Sammy: [whirls around] I'm here to pick up my son. If it's about Steven, I don't wanna hear it.
Alexis: Why, because you're feeling guilty?
Sammy: I have nothing to feel guilty about.
Alexis: Then how do you feel? Not content with making him feel unhappy all of these years, you then entice him back and hurt him again.
Sammy: You have no right, Alexis. It was Steven who...
Alexis: Who what? Who found you out for the fraud you really are?
Sammy: [again keeping herself in check] My son's waiting for me.
[heads back up the stairs]

Blake: I told you not to do this. I thought we had an understanding.
Andrew: Blake, you and I have only one understanding, to keep you out of jail. Now, you have two choices: to go along with me or to fire me.

Sammy: I really tried to pull it off. I wanted everyone to see that I could make it on my own.
Jeff: Hey, Sammy Jo, even the biggest corporations have financial trouble.
Sammy: Jeff, I can't sell this place. I can't. It was my father's.
Jeff: Then don't. How about some fresh capital to save the day? Capital from a friend?
Sammy: A partner?
Jeff: Yeah, someone close to you. Someone you could trust.
Sammy: You can't be serious.
Jeff: Why not?
Sammy: [scoffs] Well, you don't know anything about this business.
Jeff: Well, I do know the free market system, and you don't wanna back away now. Try and corner the market and wait for a turnaround. Besides, I see a big return on my investment. What do you say, partner?
[offers hand]
Jeff: Partners?
[she accepts, giving soft giggle]

Jeff: Well...
[grunts as he sits down next to forlorn Sammy Jo]
Jeff: You look like you're having about as much fun as I am.
Sammy: [scoffs] Mauled by a quarterback and criticized by an ex-husband, my kind of evening.

Alexis: I'm a Gemini. I'm many different women.

Krystina: [abducted, rushing to the TV where Sarah is watching Krystle's plea] I heard my Mommy!

Fallon: [after being thrown off her horse into the water] I know you, Blake Carrington, you paid that horse to dump me.
Blake: I didn't have to pay him, he works for me.
Fallon: [panting] Is there anybody in Colorado who doesn't work for you?
Blake: Oh, a few people, but not for long.

Fallon: [as troubled Blake goes off] I wish somebody would tell me what's going on around here.
Jeff: Your father and Krystle are having problems.
Fallon: Well, it doesn't take a genius to figure that out. Daddy's behaving strangely. Krystle's been gone all day.
[eyes narrow]
Fallon: What kind of problems are they having?
Jeff: I think we should leave them alone.
Fallon: Did Daddy forget their anniversary? What?
Jeff: I don't know, but you stay out of it.
Fallon: You do know, don't you? And you're not telling me.
Jeff: What reason would I have to lie to you?
Fallon: I don't know. But your credibility is a little... weak these days.
[smiles]
Fallon: I'll bet you told Goldilocks some interesting stories after I left this morning.
Jeff: Let's forget about this morning.
Fallon: [chuckles] The look on your face when I walked in! But I have to hand it to you. You covered. That was quite a performance.
Jeff: Yours wasn't bad either.

Sammy: I was beginning to think I was part of your life.
Clay: [sighs, for he cannot tell her about the mission] Sweetheart, you are.
Sammy: Then why all the mystery? Why couldn;t you tell me about this last night?
Clay: [placing his hands on her shoulders, looking deep into her eyes] Because I had other things on my mind. Like you. Sammy Jo, you're very tense. You know, you've been very tense the past few days, Sammy Jo. There's more to this, isn't there?
Sammy: No. I'm just not used to you creeping out of bed on me.
Clay: Oh, is that it?
Sammy: Yeah.
Clay: Okay, okay. You don't wanna tell me, I have more important things to do. All right, I'll come back when you are ready to get to the bottom of this.

Alexis: [as Sable approaches her and Adam] Oh my God, don't tell me you're still here. I thought you were just a temporary infestation.
Sable: Well, Alexis, I see you survived Africa. It's a dangerous place for most animals, but no problem for you, of course.
Alexis: The sable is an animal, too, you know. From the rodent family.
Sable: Hmm... speaking of the rodent family, how are you, Adam? Come to visit Mummy?

Steven: It's too early for him to discuss turning over the company.
Adam: Is it? Steven, he didn't ask us to wait in here so he could bring us the weather report.

Jeff: You'll be rid of me soon, and I'll be rid of you. All of you damned Carringtons!

Blake: And from now on this family's gonna shape up.
Fallon: Take on a new look and stance? The morally upright Carringtons, is that it?
Blake: That's exactly it.
Fallon: The judge put you on probation, not me.
Blake: Fallon, I will ignore that because I know you didn't mean it. But from now on you're going to learn to behave decently if it kills you. I don't need a carbon copy of your mother in this house, and that's what you are sometimes. And it sickens me, do you hear? It sickens me!

Steven: I chose Kensington because it's close to the university.
Blake: Oh, so you decided you needed more schooling, huh? Exactly how much Keats and Shelley does a 24-year-old man need, anyway?
Steven: I'm going to take an extension course in business administration, the petroleum end especially.

Alexis: [referring to Sable] Look at her, she's like a rabid bitch.

Krystle: [next to Krystina's hospital bed] Dr. Chadway said he was so proud of you. And then you know what he said?
Krystina: What?
Krystle: He said that you were the bravest little girl he's ever seen.
Krystina: Really?
Blake: Really. And Mommy and Daddy are proud of you too, darling.
Krystina: [to Blake:] I love you, Daddy.
[to: ]
Krystina: I love you, Mommy.
[doting parents glow]
Krystle: Then I have everything I could ever want, because I love you too, darling.
[Krystina is very happy]
Krystle: Daddy and I love you more than anything in the whole world.
Dr. Harold Chadway: [entering] Hi, Krystina.
Krystina: Hi, Doctor.
Dr. Harold Chadway: Mr. Carrington, Mrs. Carrington, I'd like to see you in the consultation room for a moment.
Blake: Yes, of course.
[patting Krystina on the shoulder]
Blake: Be back in a minute.
[Krystle kisses Krystina]

Krystle: Moving, where?
Steven: A three-room apartment, over on Kensington. It's over some stores, but it's roomy. It has high ceilings and tall windows. It's nice.
Blake: Not like your cramped quarters here, huh?

Hamilton: [to Alexis] You look wonderful, Mrs. Colby, as always!
Alexis: Thank you.
Sable: Her name is Rowan.
Alexis: Not anymore.
Sable: Oh, yes, of course, your poor husband--I see you're grief stricken.
Alexis: Yes, I understand that you lost your husband, too--traded you in for your sister, didn't he?

Blake: What kind of advances can we get while our crude is tied up?
Andrew: Twenty cents on the dollar, maybe.
Blake: Where would that leave us?
Andrew: Bankruptcy. And that's the upside.
Blake: Six operational offices from Tangiers to Cape Town, payoffs to every swindling five-percenter in sight, and we get caught like this? What dim-witted office boy thought we ought to go in there in the first place?
Andrew: As I recall, Blake, it was you.

Blake: Doing what I have to do, coming out here isn't easy for me. Fact is, I had no practise at it. You see, gentlemen, I've, eh, I've come to apologise.

Sammy: Hello, Jeff.
Jeff: [surprised] Sammy Jo.
Sammy: [entering] I just wanted to say... that I love you. And I need you. And I will marry you.
[Jeff doesn't know what to do]
Sammy: I will.
[kisses him]

Fallon: [fighting in the mud with Sammy Jo over Jeff] You can *have* him; I don't want him.
Sammy: I don't want him either!
Fallon: If *you* don't want him and *I* don't want him, then why are we fighting?
[both start laughing]

Blake: [after winning a game of pool] That'll be five dollars.
Joseph: Considering the difference in our incomes, that doesn't seem very sportsmanlike to me.
Blake: Well, that's an old line of yours, Joseph, and it's not going to work. Besides, I need the money.
[snaps his fingers]

Adam: He refused the money I offered to leave, why?
Dana: Well I don't know, but I'm glad. Darling, don't you see? Morally we would have had this big black cloud hanging over us...
Adam: [interrupting] There is no 'black cloud', Dana, there is Jesse Atkinson! He's a threat to us and our child!

Jeff: [after offering Fallon a light, Jeff realizes what's she's smoking] Fallon, that's grass.
Fallon: To be exact.
Jeff: Well, suppose somebody sees it?
Fallon: Don't worry, I've got enough for everybody.

[last lines]
Sammy: [coming from bedroom, golden silk night-gown] Steven...
Steven: [stretched out on couch, pretens to be reading magazine] Yeah?
Sammy: It's kind of lonely in there. Aren't you coming to bed?
Steven: [distant] In a minute.
Sammy: [comes nearer] I've created a problem for us, haven't I? I mean, I should have known last night when you didn't come to bed until I was asleep.
[sitting on the couch with him]
Sammy: And then you left this morning before I woke up.
Steven: [gently] Sammy Jo... it's not your fault, it's mine.
Sammy: Don't say that.
Steven: No, I have to. Last night, I wanted to talk to you.
Sammy: But we talked.
Steven: No, you talked. I listened.
Sammy: I'm sorry.
[turns to face him]
Sammy: I'm listening now.
Steven: [gets up wearily] I don't... I'm not sure... what to say. Before the other night, I thought I knew who I was, and what I felt, and what I couldn't feel...
Sammy: And now?
Steven: [shakes his head] Now I don't know.
Sammy: Steven, when we made love, you were... you were gentle and sensual. Everything a woman wants in the man she loves. And you made me feel very beautiful. Now, are you saying that, that wasn't real?
Steven: No, of course not.
Sammy: That you were faking it, for my sake? Is that what you're saying?
Steven: No, don't you understand? It was very real.
Sammy: Steven. I'm not an expert at this. But couldn't it be that we...? We just have to give it a chance? Give us a chance?
[sighs]
Sammy: Unless you're saying goodbye.
Steven: No, I'm not saying that.
Sammy: Then you won't leave? I mean, yesterday I found myself going through the clothes in your closet, making sure that they were still there and that you weren't leaving.
Steven: And they were there, weren't they? And I didn't leave you, did I?
Sammy: And you're not gonna leave me now? Just give us a chance, Steven. Together, we're so good for Danny. And I want us to be good for each other. Please come to bed with me, Steven.
[urgent: ]
Sammy: Please? I don't like to beg, but I'm begging you now. Please come to bed with me.
[he hesitates]
Sammy: Please.
[he puts an arm around her and they go off to the bedroom]

Blake: God damn it Alexis. I'm tired of your lies!

Krystle: [Gives Matthew two stacks of cash] Matthew, I know you need it, so take it. And before you say no, remember you have a wife and a daughter and a lot of men counting on you to bring in that oil well. So just take it.

Fallon: Oh, too bad, doctor. Look at the prize package you let go of - Fallon Carrington Colby - one of the richest girls in all of Colorado. Get back to your patients, doctor. Go on, get back to work and excuse me while I get back to my life.

Adam: [on his marriage to Claudia] No congratulations?
Steven: My congratulations to you; my *condolence* to Claudia.

Fallon: After what you did to me in that restaurant, I think you owe me something.
Sgt. John Zorelli: What did I do?
Fallon: Gave me the worst cup of coffee I ever had in my life.

Fallon: Name him what you want. I don't care.
Jeff: What do yo mean you don't care?
Fallon: Call him anything you want.

Krystle: So you enjoy slinging mud, Alexis?

Dana: That's blackmail.
Sean: You're wrong, Dana. That's life.
[winks]

Dex: I don't know how to thank you.
Harry: [slyly] By... making the flight.

Alexis: Dex, why don't you just forget about business for a moment. Hmm?
Dex: [removes Alexis' towel] This may take longer than a moment.
Alexis: I certainly hope so.

Fallon: You don't find it strange that none of us has actually talked to Krystle since she's been back? I mean, people don't just disappear into the middle of nowhere without some sort of explanation.
Sammy: Some people do. Some people go off in spaceships.
[smirks]
Jeff: Sammy Jo, please.

Sammy: Fallon? You sleep with me and you call me Fallon?
[kicks out at him]
Jeff: [pushed off bed, lands on floor] No, no...
Sammy: You can't stop thinking about her, can you?
[smacks him with pillow]
Jeff: No, I wasn't thinking...
[another pillow blow]
Sammy: Out! Did I do something that reminded you of her?
[keeps up the barrage]
Jeff: No, no, no. Maybe what I said...
Sammy: I know what you said!
[one hit after the other]
Jeff: I know what it was...
Sammy: You miserable creep!
Jeff: I was dreaming.
Sammy: I bet you were!
Jeff: Yes, I was. No. I was dreaming about falcons.
Sammy: Falcons?
[yells: ]
Sammy: That is the stupidest lie I've ever heard!
[gets another good one in]
Jeff: No, no...
Sammy: Get out! Get out of this house! Get out! And go play with your falcon!

Alexis: A union, a bond that was strengthened when I gave him two children. And that's a bond you can never have with him, Krystle.
Krystle: You're right, Alexis. You and Blake do deserve each other.

Blake: [after dinner] Ladies and gentlemen, I have a survey report, says that we might strike brandy in the living room.

Matthew: Now, I want you to listen to me, Krystle. Now you know this trial is gonna be very, very hard. You know that, don't you?
Krystle: Yes.
Matthew: Well, then run from it the way you started to. Run from the both of us, Blake and me. Now maybe I shouldn't say this, but you finally had the courage to do the right thing and, dammit, do it.
Krystle: Did you desert Claudia when she was in trouble?
Matthew: No.
Krystle: Blake's still my husband. And I'm going to stand by him.

Matthew: [to Walter] You know how much you mean to me. You've been more than a father. I appreciate that. It's helped me more than all those schools put together.

Jeff: Well, maybe you ought to get up to the house then?
Kirby: Well, just a second. I'd like to look at you. As I expected you've become a very distinguished man in these five years. Distinguished and even more handsome. Oh, there I've said it. The other secret is out finally.
Jeff: What secret?
Kirby: I had this gigantic crush on you. But there was one gigantic snag: You only had eyes for Fallon, remember?
Jeff: Oh, yes.

Krystle: [Krystle meets Claudia while visiting an art gallery] I'm beginning to appreciate new things. How wonderful to have that gift, that talent.
Claudia: There are all kinds of talents, Mrs. Carrington. There's the talent of being beautiful, getting any man that you want to fall in love with you. There's a talent of getting what you want out of life. Now that's a true talent, isn't it? Sorry. I hope that doesn't sound like a strange question coming from someone with my background.
Krystle: Your past is past, Claudia. It could happen to any of us.
Claudia: Don't you be nice to me, because I'm not here to be nice to you. I'm not here by accident, either. I called your house to see where you were. You see, I think you and my husband slept together when I was in the hospital.
Krystle: Have you asked Matthew about this?
Claudia: I'm asking you.
Krystle: That's very unfair, Claudia. Matthew's your husband. I'm nothing to you.
Claudia: And Blake Carrington is your husband. What is it that you want? I mean, don't you already have enough?

Blake: [about Cecil Colby] I don't trust him any more than he'd trust me in this. Because he has the heart of a rattlesnake and soul of a streetwalker.

Matthew: You know, Blake, I used to respect you. I used to think you were the smartest man I'd ever known. But you're losin' it. You're dyin' in it. You're operating the old way. Trouble is, the day of the old tycoon, the oil baron, is over. And like them, you don't have any values anymore. You don't give a damn about anybody or anything.
Blake: Oh, c'mon, Matthew. You're talking about America, the American Dream, laissez-faire, mother, apple pie... petroleum.
Matthew: I'm talkin' about how you poison just about every damn thing you touch.

Alexis: Fallon, I'm sorry about us.
Fallon: I'm not. I've seen the advantages of not having you for a mother.

Dominique: Don't you have any ideas, Adam? Because if you don't, what are you doing here?

Alexis: Well, I'm letting Blake off the hook.
Sable: Oh, how magnanimous since now even you know that he didn't kill the man.
Alexis: Sable, a deal's a deal
Sable: And timing is timing, that ship has sailed, Alexis.

Steven: [as she is returning Danny] Sammy Jo? Where'd you go with him?
Sammy: We went to the zoo. Not that it's any business of yours.
Steven: You're only supposed to visit him here at the house.
Sammy: For God's sake, Steven, relax. I'm not gonna kidnap him. We were just having a good time.
Steven: You and Clay?
Sammy: Oh, that's it.
[taunting]
Sammy: It's all right for me to have boyfriends, Steven. I'm a girl.
Steven: [feigning indifference to her chide] I don't want you taking him out with you on dates. He's my son. I care how he's influenced.
Sammy: Oh well, so do I. And just because there's no-one in your life, doesn't mean you can stop me from having someone in mine. It just so happens there's nothing wrong with Clay Fallmont as an influence or a role model for Danny.
[then: ]
Sammy: At least he's straight.
[leaving him to mull that over as she walks off]

Sable: All that money of yours and you haven't been able to afford an ounce of common decency.
Monica: Mother!
Jeff: You, to talk about decency!
Monica: Jeff!
Sable: Well, even a dog knows how to behave in a public place.

Sammy: He still doesn't know what happened to Matthew Blaisdel, and it's all over the news. Shouldn't he hear it from us? I mean, shouldn't we tell him?
Steven: I should tell him.
Sammy: [impatiently] When? Before you leave town?
[sighs]
Sammy: I'm sorry. I didn't mean for it to sound like that. I promised myself I wouldn't do this.
Steven: It's all right.
[places his hand on her shoulder]
Sammy: What if Matthew had killed you? I mean, Danny and I... We need you, Steven.

Sable: How dare you involve my daughter like that? Have you no shame? You knew what you were doing!
Alexis: And I don't care! You don't care about your daughter, anyway!

Alexis: You know, you may be my daughter, but sarcasm does *not* become you.

Fallon: What if I change my mind, don't keep my end of the bargain?
Cecil: Let's just say that, at my age, vengeance is as sweet as sex.

Sammy: Look, Jeff, when things went bad for me at the ranch, you were here to bail me out financially. And then when that jerk tried to attack me the other night, you were there to rescue me. I don't wanna feel that I have to turn to you for everything.
Jeff: Is there something wrong with helping out a friend?
Sammy: No. Just as long as you understand that I'm gonna work hard to turn this business around and pay you back. I just don't wanna feel dependent on you or anybody.
[gets up from desk]
Jeff: [takes her by her shoulders as she is about to leave] Wait a minute, Sammy Jo, I gave you that money because I believe in you. And because I like you.
[kisses her]

Adam: But, I'd go easy on the brandy if I were you.
Alexis: When I want a sermon, dear, I'll go to church

Krystle: [at dining room table] What I don't understand is how did the letters get burned?
Fallon: [has clear suspicion] How do letters ever get burned? You drop them on a stove, you rub two boy scouts together, or maybe somebody put a match to them.
Jeff: Oh, come on, Fallon, who would do something like that?
Fallon: [sarcastic] Oh, I don't know.
[Adam enters]
Fallon: Hello, Adam.
Adam: Sorry I'm late.
Blake: No problem.
Krystle: [tension building] Do you think that somebody intentionally burned them?
Sammy: [pointedly] I'd like to hear what Adam thinks.
Adam: Excuse me?
Sammy: Steven left two letters, mysteriously burned.
Adam: [all innocent] What letters?
Sammy: [snarls] Oh, you know damn well what letters! And you burned them!
Adam: [scoffs] When did you dream that up?
Fallon: Oh, come on, Adam. You've always tried to make Steven look bad. But this is pathetic, even by your standards.
Blake: Fallon...
Adam: It's all right, Dad. I should have known who was behind this little fantasy.
Krystle: [nearing breaking point] Please stop.
Adam: Maybe Steven burned them himself. Maybe he decided he didn't wanna give them to you.
Fallon: [seething] Well, you got what you wanted.
Blake: All right, now that's enough.
Fallon: By the process of elimination, you're finally the favorite son.
Adam: I don't have to take this!
[unnoticed, Krystle is imploding rapidly]
Blake: I said that's enough! I don't want to hear any more about those letters. If Adam said that he didn't do it, he didn't.
Krystle: [clutches tablecloth, upsetting every kitchen utensil on table] Stop it! Stop it! Stop it! Stop it!
[everything clatters]

Alexis: What a dump!

Steven: You said this afternoon that you and Danny need me.
[Sammy Jo nods]
Steven: And now I know I need you too.
[she smiles, eagerly grabbing his hand, thinking all is working out, but...]
Steven: I'm not running away, not this time. I'm taking you up on your offer, Sammy Jo. You said you'd live with me under any conditions.
Sammy: [uncertain] What are the conditions?
Steven: That I move back in here, but that I move into my own bedroom, not yours. If you can't handle that, please... tell me now.

Alexis: Fallon, when you were a little girl, you thought you knew everything about everything. I can see you still haven't changed - you don't.

Morgan: I've been checking a few more leads on your late husband.
Alexis: [scoffs] Please, the live and death of Sean Rowan no longer concerns me.
Morgan: Well I don't know, Mrs. Colby, the guy may be dead, but, eh, he can still hurt you.

Fallon: Hello, Nick. Did I wake you?
Dr. Nick Toscanni: [checks the clock] Wake me? Whatever gave you the idea you'd be waking me at three o'clock in the morning?

Sammy: Do we have to do this, Steven? To each other? And to Danny?

Ted: Well, at least they have talking picture theaters here in Denver. Want to take in a film?
Steven: No, I can't. I'm studying.
Ted: To be what?
Steven: Petroleum tycoon, okay?
Ted: Like your father?
Steven: No, like myself.

Blake: I wanted you to be a man.
Steven: I am a man. Just not your kind. You know, I'm finally facing up something here. I tried to live a lie, to please you. Not any more. From now on, I'm gonna live my life my way. I'm a homosexual, dad. I'm a gay! And I want you to face it. And say it. Say it! Steven is gay! Somebody say it!
Fallon: Steven is gay!

Blake: Well, Alexis, I really must thank you. For once in your life, you've done me a favor - even though it was totally unintentional. You know, if you keep up this kind of behavior, people are going to start liking you.
Alexis: Why, thank you, Blake. I don't know what you're talking about, but people either loathe me or adore me. There's no middle ground with Alexis Colby - never has been, never will be.

Dex: Well, now that we know we have something in common we can do business together.
Alexis: I don't like the word "common," Mr. Dexter.

Alexis: Questions, questions. Blake, you know I could never bear answering questions so early in the morning. Remember?

Alexis: Listen to me: people we know are dead and dying. So instead of you wasting your time trying to make me take the blame, why don't we put our heads together and figure out a way of trying to get out of this hellhole?

Alexis: [Sean has taken Alexis to a secluded cabin in Mexico] So, eh, what's for dinner then?
Sean: We fish for it.
Alexis: Fish? Sean, I don't like fish. I only like caviar...

Blake: Well, let me tell you something about friends, Krystle. My friends...
[sighs]
Blake: In this business, your only friend is a dead enemy. The minute you hit the ground, these friends would turn on you like a pack of hungry dogs.
Krystle: How do you say that?
Blake: Well, because if the situation was reversed... I would do the same to them.

Dex: [after catching Alexis with another man] And I told you I hadn't slept with any type after I'd met you.
Alexis: So what?
Dex: After I'd fallen in love with you. Except I didn't know that what I'd fallen for was a SLUT! A slut with the morals of a dog in perpetual heat.
[Alexis slaps him and he slaps her back]

Fallon: We were all out. Scattered. Like big old pin-rubies looking for their lost setting.

D.A. Jake Dunham: And how did you meet?
Stephen: We were at a party.
D.A. Jake Dunham: What kind of a party?
Stephen: I - I don't understand the question.
D.A. Jake Dunham: Well, was it a gay party? Gay, not as in happy, but as in homosexual.
[Everyone laughs uproariously]
D.A. Jake Dunham: The intent of the question was not to amuse! The intent was to get a direct answer from the witness!
Stephen: No! It was not a gay party in either of those senses. It was after an art gallery opening. And, and we both just happened to be there.
D.A. Jake Dunham: I see. You met and you became friends, is that true?
Stephen: Yes.
D.A. Jake Dunham: Close friends who decided to take an apartment together. Is that a fact, Mr. Carrington?
Stephen: Yes, that's a fact.
D.A. Jake Dunham: Mr. Carrington, did you and Mr. Denard become lovers in this apartment?
Stephen: Yes, we did.

Leslie: Why are we letting this man strangle our thinking? Steven, think of something. Can't we jump them?
Sammy: Are you crazy? They'd kill us. They might even kill the children.
Steven: Look, whatever we do, we can't even think of using violence.
Leslie: Is that the voice of a coward I'm hearing?
Sammy: He's not a coward.
Steven: Stop it, both of you.

Matthew: [answers the ringing phone] Yeah?
Claudia: Matthew, it's me.
Matthew: Claudia? You okay?
Claudia: I just called to say that I loved you.
Matthew: What's the matter?
Claudia: I know that I've been a problem to you ever since the day that we met. It's going to be better this way.
Matthew: Which way? What the hell are you talkin' about?
Claudia: I love you.
Matthew: Claudia? Claudia?
[Claudia hangs up the phone]

Krystle: You miserable bitch!

Dana: I love Adam, I'll make him a very good wife.
Alexis: I'm sure you will.
Dana: You don't sound very convinced.

Alexis: Take this donkey, Joseph, and stick it wherever you see fit.

Alexis: Now, look, you pass the word on to your little wife, Steven. If I ever hear of another time when she has breathed a word about Fallon's paternity, I will personally attach tiny hand grenades to each of the wheels on her roller skates, watch her do one of her ever-loving pirouettes, and applaud as she explodes into a thousand smithereens.

Krystle: Alexis is a very complex woman, who seems to inspire passion in people. You either love her or you hate her. And she seems to enjoy it either way.

Tony: [grabbing hold of Sammy Jo] I saw the way you looked at me this afternoon.
Sammy: Let go of me!
Tony: In this neighborhood, sweetheart, it doesn't work like that. No, in this neighborhood what you show, you owe.

Sammy: Uh, when I woke up this morning, you were already gone.
Steven: Yeah, I know, I'm sorry, I had an early meeting. I should have left a note.
Sammy: That wouldn't have been necessary. About last night, my first thought was to apologize and that was probably yours too. But I don't think that makes any sense. I mean, we're both adults and last night was very beautiful and very loving.
Steven: Sammy Jo, I...
Sammy: Shh.
[covers his lips]
Sammy: I've been rehearsing this all day, and I wanna say it. When I woke up this morning and you were already gone, I thought... I mean, I didn't know what to think. For a minute, I actually panicked and thought you might never come back. I don't know how many times I picked up the phone to call you, but I couldn't think of what to say.
Steven: I wanted to call you too.
Sammy: You did?
Steven: Yeah.
Sammy: Steven, I'm so happy to see you. You came home and everything's gonna be all right.
[hugs him]
Sammy: I'm so glad we broke our promise.
[but over her shoulder, Steven looks troubled]

Alexis: I am tired of the world thinking that you are some god of goodness, a white knight, while I'm the scarlet woman. When you branded me, you stripped me of every shred of dignity.
Blake: Your affairs were about as private as a circus.

Clay: [arriving loaded with, among other things, a huge bunch of bananas] Hi.
Sammy: Hi. What is that all about?
Clay: Well, I mean to thank you for leading me out of the fire. I could have drowned this place with roses, but I said: No. Now, what's more Sammy Jo? And I hit on it. A banana split to make the Guinness Book of Records.
Sammy: No way.
Clay: Yes way.
Sammy: I love this.
Clay: All righty, here we go.
[starts unpacking]
Clay: We've got, uh... let's see. Chopped nuts.
Sammy: Show me.
[murmurs in delight]
Clay: Like chopped nuts?
Sammy: Oh, love chopped nuts.
Clay: Good. Ice cream, lots of ice cream.
Sammy: Oh.
Clay: We've got chocolate, vanilla, strawberry. I mean, lots of ice cream. Check it out. Chocolate syrup, do you like chocolate syrup?
Sammy: I love chocolate syrup.
Clay: Hmm? Good! And we've got some caramel fudge, butterscotch topping. You got that.
[unpacking more]
Clay: And your favorite and mine, coconut.
Sammy: I hate coconut.
Clay: No coconut!
[tosses it out]
Clay: And to put it in... Drum roll, please...
Sammy: [gamely tries imitating sort of a drum roll, he mimics a fanfare, produces silver tray] Oh, well, you certainly know the way to a girl's heart, don't you?
Clay: I try.

Alexis: Look, I'm not a charitable institution. I'm paying you good money so that you'll do what I want and that is to go away and stay away.
Sammy: Sorry, but that's because if innocent, I'll take this paper straight to Steven and show him how his dear, sweet mommy wanted his wife to sign something to make him out a fag.

Blake: There's got to be a better way. Can I change?
Krystle: You have the strength to do anything you want. Do you know what I want? I want to go back to bed. Your bed.

Alexis: Believe me, Krystle, there is nothing I want from you.
Krystle: Oh you want something.

Blake: Get your hand off of me!
Ty: Or what, sir? More manslaughter?
Jeff: Or just a punch in the gut! And I'd be happy to deliver it for him.

Sammy: [entering as the quarterback leaves Steven's office angrily] Josh! What's going on?
Josh: [pointing at Steven] Ask him!
[goes off]
Steven: Harris has just quit the team.
Sammy: Quit? Why?
Steven: That's a good question, Sammy Jo.

Fallon: What's gotten into her?
Sammy: Who knows? Is there a full moon tonight?

Blake: Don't you walk away from me, I'm your father!
Steven: With a father like you, I'd rather be an orphan!

Neal: Alexis. Well, I'm glad to see you're still among us.
Alexis: Are you?
Neal: I'm not really glad, you understand. But it is the civilized thing to say, isn't it?

Blake: You know that money is mother's milk to a politician, particularly when he's running for reelection. Now if you want to continue to be a voice in Congress, you're going to need help.
Neal: You mean a voice for you? For your company?
Blake: For the country, dammit! For the best interest of this country! Haven't you been listening to me? Don't you realize how important it is for you to do everything you can to get that extension on my loan?
Neal: So you can squeeze some oil out of some shale?
Blake: So I can squeeze a helluva lot of oil out of a helluva lot of shale!

Sammy: What is this?
[bunny-shaped flower arrangement]
Sammy: Oh, it's beautiful!
Jeff: I don't remember ordering that.
Sammy: Ooh, it's so cute!
[reads card, is disappointed]
Sammy: Oh, it's from Fallon.
[scoffs]
Sammy: How nice.
[pouts]
Jeff: Aren't you disappointed it's not from your Romeo at the hospital?
Sammy: Oh, come on.
Jeff: Well, I'm sure he'll write you any day now.
Sammy: [playfully] Don't be ridiculous and stop getting jealous.
Jeff: Me, jealous?
Sammy: Thank you for my flowers.
[beaming smile]
Sammy: I love them.
[puts her arms around his neck, they kiss]

Andrew: Don't let the down-home suit and tie fool you. If anybody's got his eye on the governor's office someday, it's Dunham.
Blake: Let's hope he doesn't make it over my dead body.

Claudia: You've made a prostitute out of me.
Cecil: I taught you how to use sex for gain. And it apparently upsets you.
Claudia: It disgusts me.
Cecil: How naive you are for a bright young woman, Claudia. Don't you know that if you want something in this world, you have to pay for it?

Sammy: I was driving around and I just dropped by to say hello.
Josh: Come on, Sammy Jo, there's more to it than that. You're here because you care about me. You do, don't you?
[he kisses her, and she returns the affection]
Sammy: No.
[breaks away]
Sammy: No. I'm confused. I don't know what I'm doing here.
Josh: But you're here!
Sammy: I can't stay. I'm in a really weird mood. I can't stay.
[turns around, rushes towards door]

Krystle: Look, I have a husband, you have a husband. I stay out of your marriage, stay out of mine.
Fallon: Is that an order?
Blake: Alright now, that is enough. This is still my house, and from now on it's going to be a united house. If you want to continue to live in it, Fallon, you better get that straight.
[Blake and Krystle walk away]
Jeff: Bravo.
Fallon: Oh, are we at the opera? Did the fat lady sing her high C and expire gloriously?
Jeff: Your father is going through one of the roughest times of his life, and you attack Krystle for loving and supporting him?
Fallon: Gimme a break, Jeff.
[pivots to walk away, Jeff grabs her arm and pulls her back]
Fallon: Oh, are you gonna punch me in the gut or something equally spectacular? I mean, I was impressed.
Jeff: Can't you understand that she loves him? The way I love you. And the way you should love me.

Ted: You know Steven's relationship with you is only to prove something to himself?
Claudia: You have absolutely no idea what goes on beween Steven and me.

Dex: [to Leslie] Take care, kid. You wanna feed with the sharks? They just might feed on you.

Blake: You're scum, Cecil. You're worthless scum.
Cecil: Listen to yourself, Blake, a two bit oil speculator who scrambled his way up out of a hovel into a grand house; posing as a good and great man; rendering judgment on those who he has no birthright to judge. You're common, Blake. Despite all the veneer, you're very common.

Adam: [Discussing Jeff Colby] Look, I don't like him. In fact, I dislike him intensely! And I have no intention...
Alexis: Adam darling! You seem to have inherited one of your father's more unattractive traits: His violent streak. It cost him dearly once.

Krystina: [hostages] Mommy, I'm afraid.
Krystle: [holding her close] Don't be, darling. Everything's gonna be all right, you'll see.
Krystina: Is that bad man gonna take you away?
Blake: No one is gonna take your Mommy away, darling. I promise you that.

Alexis: Do make yourself comfortable, Dominique.
Dominique: I intend to. Just as I intend to make you *un*comfortable.

Blake: [Nick has arrived at Scorpio Peak to confront Blake about his brother Gianni] Well, Nick... what are you doing here? Must be pretty important to get you all the way up here from Denver.
Dr. Nick Toscanni: [menacingly] For this I would have come all the way back from Hell.
Blake: What are you talking about?
Dr. Nick Toscanni: I'm talking about you and my brother Gianni... Farouk Ahmed told me. He told me, Blake, that you were in that miserable country when my brother was arrested and that my brother sent you a personal plea for help which you ignored!
Blake: Don't you understand? Ahmed is lying!
Dr. Nick Toscanni: You ignored him!
[Nick lunges at Blake and knocks him off his horse, both men fall to the ground fighting]
Dr. Nick Toscanni: You ignored it... because it would have jeopardized your lousy oil deal!
[he strikes Blake in the face]
Blake: [Blake falls and gets up] I told you... everything I told you is the truth! I was in Indonesia when that cable came about your brother dying... and I was in the country when your brother was arrested!
Dr. Nick Toscanni: And you didn't lift a finger to help him, you lying son of a...
[Blake ducks Nick's swing and flips him over, then gets him in a choke hold]
Blake: I couldn't help your brother... I had no power to intervene! I did call the State Department to try and get them to reduce his sentence. I had no way of knowing he was going to hang himself!
Dr. Nick Toscanni: You lie!
[Nick knocks Blake back off of him... both resume fighting]
Blake: Now you listen to me... I'm sick and tired of your insane need to blame somebody else for your brother's death. Face the fact... he was no innocent victim, he was involved with drugs! Now you listen to me once and for all, you leave me and my family alone!
[he mounts his horse and rides off, a snake spooks the horse and dumps Blake from it, causing him to tumble down the hill. Nick happens upon Blake and does nothing to help]

Matthew: I worked for the man! I know what he can do! Blake Carrington would drive into hell and hand-deliver an invitation to the devil if it suited his purpose. Dammit, you know it and I do, too!
Walter: Sure he would. You know why? Because he's smart, that's why. I mean, it still takes a big man to drive all the way out here and apologize, to admit that he's wrong. And that's my kind of man.

Steven: I saw her there naked in that studio with that creep photographer. He could be the father. Anybody west of the Rockies could be the father.
Blake: He resembles you, Steven.
Steven: Which me? This me or the old me?

Adam: I was hoping I'd run into you. I wanted to apologize for the other night at Fallon's party.
Kirby: What for?
Adam: Oh, I came on pretty strong.
[chuckling]
Adam: It happens sometimes. Especially when I meet a girl who turns me on as much as you do.
Kirby: You know, you keep talking like that and another apology is going to be in order.
Adam: You're quite a challenge, just in case you didn't know that. You see, up till now, I haven't met too many girls who pretended to turn off to me.
Kirby: What makes you think I'm pretending?
Adam: Fair enough. But I think you owe me a sporting chance at changing your mind.

Steven: [coming home] You saw the way Adam stormed out of the party tonight.
[Sammy Jo takes off her coat]
Steven: One minute he's fine, the next he's on a rampage.
Sammy: Well, since when has Adam been predictable?
Steven: But his moods are so extreme.
Sammy: Then talk to him.
Steven: Yeah, I will. If he'll let me.
[they regard each other fondly]
Steven: Good night.
Sammy: Good night.
[as Steven walks off, she looks at him longingly]

Sean: [pouring champagne into a glass] Is this enough for you?
Leslie: I like to think that we... never get enough in life. You should always stay a little hungry. It keeps you wanting more.

Sammy: [late at night, calling phone inquiries] I'd like the number for Technel Laboratories.
[gets it, jots it down]
Sammy: Thank you.
[punches in the number, but...]
Sammy: Somebody answer the phone.
Clay: [entering] Sammy Jo? Who you calling this time of night?
Sammy: I thought you were asleep.
[he chuckles]
Sammy: I was phoning Austria. There's a stallion on the market.
Clay: A horse?
[chuckles]
Clay: You're up at this hour asking about a horse?

Jeff: Well, listen, you know, the more I think about it, why not? Why sit around here? Look, I'm leaving tonight, I could use the company, and I can guarantee you, well, yes, I think I have the worst, worst jokes.
[chuckles]
Sammy: I don't know.
[chuckles]
Jeff: Oh, come on, we could both use the company. It'll do us some good.
Sammy: [nods] Maybe it would.

Alexis: You still despise me, don't you?
Blake: That's a good enough word.

Krystle: And if you really are that anxious to see him, why don't you phone Fallon and ask her to bring him to your studio?
Alexis: Oh, you talk about him like he's a piece of luggage. Could you be jealous?
Krystle: No, just amazed by you for not realizing you're the one whose excess baggage around here since the day you moved into that studio.

Fallon: [to Blake] Why couldn't I marry somebody like you?

Blake: [about Matthew Blaisdel] I gave him a chance to stay afloat. Now I'm gonna blow him right out of the water.

Adam: You're not going to like having me as an enemy.
Blake: It couldn't be worse than having you as a son.

Morgan: What do you need?
Alexis: Information about my husband.
Morgan: [laughs] Which one?
Alexis: Like your wardrobe, Mr. Hess, your sense of humor is not your strong suit.

Sammy: Your dear mother asked me to sign a piece of paper and you know what that paper would make you out to be - a fag.

Alexis: But I want you to know that I forgive you, Krystle. Particularly about that little contretemps in my studio.
Krystle: In my world, we call it a fight. A good, dirty, no-holds barred catfight.

Steven: I, uh...
[sits down on bed next to her]
Steven: I had it out with Josh Harris today.
Sammy: About what?
Steven: [smirks] What do you think?
Sammy: Look, Steven, if this is your way of reminding me about what happened between Josh and me at the stables, I told you, I haven't seen him again.
Steven: I didn't say you had.
Sammy: But you're implying that something's going on between us.
Steven: I'm not implying anything at all. I... I've been thinking about my father, 'cause he was asking me all these strange questions today, and I don't know what it is about.
Sammy: Don't give me that. It is Josh.
[gets up from bed]
Sammy: You'll never understand. I need some fresh air.
[walks out]

Matthew: [Claudia shook up watching news accounts about Steven] Are you all right? You look like you're upset.
Claudia: I am. It's what you said about these lawyers. I mean, they're turning this trial into some kind of sporting event. It's not a trial.
Matthew: I know that, but that's their job. And if I know Jake Dunham, he hasn't even started yet.

Clay: Sammy Jo, you should have told me you were coming by.
Sammy: Why? So you could spend the day thinking up something ugly to say like you did at the club last night?
Clay: Look, I...
Sammy: How could you do that? Steven and I were just dancing.
Clay: You weren't just dancing with him, you were dancing with what the two of you once had together.
Sammy: That's not true.
Clay: Isn't it? Look, the only thing I've got against Steven is your fantasy of him. He can't give you what you need, face it.
Sammy: Really? And you can?
Clay: I can look at you and see you for the woman you really are.
Sammy: A liar and a cheat. That's what you called me, isn't it?
Clay: I was hurt.
Sammy: Well, so was I. I loved you, and I trusted you. You've never seen me for who I am. Sure, you wanna make love, but when it comes to... to listen and to forgive, you're nowhere to be found. I don't know why we're dragging this out.
[produces documents]
Sammy: You have to sign these annulment papers.
[impatiently waving papers]
Sammy: Just sign them.
Clay: [taking the documents] Sammy Jo, if I sign these papers, I'm admitting that our marriage was nothing but a fraud.
Sammy: Well, what else was it? In the beginning, you didn't want me as part of your family. And then, when I thought I was pregnant, you didn't even want the baby.
Clay: I love you.
Sammy: I don't know what you feel, Clay, but it sure isn't love.
Clay: No? Then tell me what this is.
[kisses her passionately, and she surrenders to her own feelings, until coming to her senses and pushing him away]
Clay: I want you so much, Sammy Jo. More than I've ever wanted anything or anyone in my entire life.
Sammy: Whatever we feel, Clay, whatever you wanna call it, it has no future. Just sign the papers.
Clay: [smirks] Same old story, isn't it? Whatever Sammy Jo wants, Sammy Jo gets. Well, you'd better grow up and decide what it is you really do want.
[signs]
Clay: Take your papers and get out of here.

Alexis: Would you like a chocolate-dipped strawberry?
Fallon: A strawberry? What I want is to make sure my father won't get hurt.
Alexis: I know. Now, you know as well as I do that neither of us brought Mark Jennings out here. He came out of his own accord. And the only person who could hurt your father in this situation is his dear pseudo-wife Krystle, who is not worthy of him, and so the sooner we get rid of her the better. So, where's the hurt?

Clay: I decided to come back last night. I waited up all night for you. Now, where the hell have you been?
Sammy: I slept at Steven's.
[he scoffs]
Sammy: My son happens to live with his father, and I spent the night. And how come you're still here?
Clay: Because I wanted to talk to you about forgetting the annulment. About forgetting it and starting over.
Sammy: It's over between us, Clay. I'm no genius, but I'm smart enough to know that we both have to go our own ways. I'm sorry. I really am.
Clay: [scoffs, then sighs] You know, I've tried to be rational with you. I said I loved you, and I meant it. I said I made a mistake, and that I was sorry, but you won't forgive me, will you? You know what your problem is, Sammy Jo? You're still in love with your ex-husband.
Sammy: [whirls around] That's ridiculous.
Clay: Oh, I think it's on the button. You'd better think it over and see where it's gonna get you.
[he leaves, and she stands there in realization that he is right]

Krystle: [to exhausted Alexis after their first catfight] If you want a rematch, just whistle! If you can!

Alexis: [Alexis has offered Sammy Jo twenty thousand dollars to allow her marriage to Steven to be annuled] From now on, every word that you utter is going to cost you one thousand dollars. You've just said four words; that's now sixteen thousand dollars.
Sammy: Hey!
Alexis: Not exactly a word, but I'm going to count it anyway. Fifteen thousand dollars. Tell me something, my little nymphette: is this your way of upping the ante?

Alexis: How dare you talk to me about my son?
Krystle: His son, too, Alexis!
Alexis: Yes, of course. *His* son! Like the baby upstairs is *his* grandson, and you're *his* wife, and Fallon is *his* darling daughter, and Steven is *his* embarrassment! Everyone is his, *his*, *HIS!* The past is over and nothing can change it, but let me tell you something, Krystle. The future is going to be very different, because in a very short time, this faultless family is going to be hearing from me, including you, and you especially are going to cringe at what you hear! Krystle Jennings Carrington! The oh, so sterling once, and maybe future, secretary!

Jeff: Guess what's inevitable right now?
[pulls her into stable, and they both laugh]
Sammy: Let's see...
Jeff: Ah.
[fashions place to lie down in the hay]
Jeff: Must bring something to mind?
[smiles boyishly]
Sammy: Feeding the horses?
Jeff: I figured that while we're here...
Sammy: Wouldn't want it to be a complete waste of time, is that it?
Jeff: I missed you...
[holds open his arms, and she sinks into his embrace]

Sammy: You'll never get Clay, Amanda. He wants a real woman. Not a plastic excuse for one.

Tony: [re promotional material] What if I need more than one?
Sammy: You can take as many as you like.
Tony: You know what I'd really like?
Sammy: Why don't you do us both a favor and keep it to yourself?

Alexis: I was just visiting the babies and I realized I was thirsty. I wonder if you have any cold champagne.
Mrs. Gunnerson: Well, nothing open.
Alexis: Well, that's one of life's easier problems to remedy - isn't it Hilda?

Fallon: Why can't I marry you?
Cecil: Because that wouldn't benefit either of us. And because we made a deal, and a deal is a deal.
Fallon: Cecil, I wouldn't be good for Jeff. The two of us together would go very slowly and very quietly insane. But you and I - we'd be something very special. We were starting to get along.
Cecil: [Wistfully] That night. It was very good between the two of us. But people like us, we don't put personal pleasures first. We do what's best in the larger scheme of things. Now, what's best for you is that I bail out your father. What's best for me is that you marry my nephew.
Fallon: I'll take that drink now.

Monica: [kidding around] Mother is so straight, she once thought the IUD is a Federal agency.

Alexis: [to Adam] And would you please spare me the military metaphors? Wasn't it enough for you to play Cesare Borgia, must you play Napoleon too?

Neal: Revenge is almost as good as sex. In fact, in this case, it's even better.

Alexis: Well, because of that divorce and because of Jeff 's remarriage my daughter is very vulnerable right now and I want you to stay out of her life.
Mark: Just like that?
Alexis: Oh, no. Because of who you are and what you are, like this: I'll pay you anything you want within reason. Then I want you to go.
Mark: [Alexis has her checkbook open and pen poised to write] Put that away. I don't want your money, Alexis.
Alexis: [laughs derisively] How many Alexises have heard that before?
Mark: I don't want it, and that's that.
Alexis: What you want is Fallon? Because you love Fallon?
Mark: That's right, lady.
Alexis: Love? Come off it! You're nothing but a second-rate fortune hunter in tennis shoes.

Sable: Hello, Alexis. Glad to see you've uh... sobered up.
Alexis: And now my hangover's arrived.

Leslie: Are you trying to threaten me?
Sean: No, I don't need to threaten. I just call the shots and you listen. Don't you?
[kisses her on the cheek]

Fallon: What's going on in there, Steven?
Steven: They're selecting a jury of his peers.
Fallon: Oh, that's a joke. Who are they to judge Blake Carrington?
Steven: What about Ted? Are they his peers, Fallon?
[Fallon looks away abashedly]

Michael: You're not gonna get me out of Denver or your life that easily, boss. I hate you and I love your daughter. It all comes out even.
[rises to leave]
Blake: Wait a minute.
[grabs at his sleeve]
Blake: All right, if you won't get out on your own, I'll starve you out. You can sit on your $50 million until hell freezes over.

Fallon: What's that supposed to mean?
Steven: That your garbage about me doesn't matter, that doesn't matter anymore. But our mother, that lady tried to explain why she came back here. But you, you just transferred your garbage and you dumped it on her!
Fallon: Well, I finally seem to have found a career for myself after all these years of sweet, antesiptic indulgence. I'm Gertie the Garbageman... Or woman... Person... thing.

Amanda: I won't give him up, Daddy. I'm moving in with him.
Blake: Now you listen to me...
Amanda: [adamant] I have. You insist I make a choice. I've made it.
[turns and leaves]

Adam: [as Joanna steers him into her bedroom to go answer the door and let Sable in] Do you think I should just slip into something more comfortable while I'm in there, like your bed?

Jake: Would you state your full name, please?
Alexis: Alexis Morell Carrington.
Jake: And your residence?
Alexis: I've been living in Acapulco for the past several years.
Jake: You were the first wife of the defendant, Blake Carrington. You're the mother of his children, is that correct?
Alexis: Yes, it is.
Jake: And subsequently, of course, you were divorced?
Alexis: Yes.
Jake: When was this?
Alexis: Sixteen years ago.
Jake: Was it what you might term an amicable divorce, Mrs. Carrington?
Alexis: No, it wasn't. It was what you might term an enforced divorce.

Alexis: Why did you buy my hotel?
Sable: But that's what Pavilion Resorts does, darling--it acquires run-down properties that have been poorly maintained, like yourself.
Alexis: Funny, your husband--the one who dumped you for your younger sister--didn't find me "poorly maintained".

Blake: [Discussing Alexis] Denver-Carrington is a big company and powerful. And if she does anything to hurt Jeff - anything - then there's going to be war between her and me. All-out war. No holds barred. I'll see to it that ColbyCo goes down the drain if I have to if she even thinks of hurting that boy!

Sammy: [scoffs] I don't know what you're so wound up about. There's nothing in it that would interest them anyway.
Jeff: What?
Sammy: The police. There's nothing in the diary they'd care about.
Jeff: You mean you read it?
Sammy: Yes.
Jeff: Ugh, Sammy Jo, what right do you have to pry into somebody else's life?
Sammy: I have my reasons.
Jeff: Reasons? Why?
Sammy: [scoffs] Because I... I was worried about my aunt. Because I wanted to know what happened.
Jeff: Sammy Jo, we specifically...
Sammy: Oh, shoot me, okay? I did it! I also cheated on my eighth grade English exam, I... I steal ashtrays out of hotels, and I have been known to cross the street when the sign says 'Don't Walk.' Not everyone is blessed with your instincts for right and wrong.
Jeff: Okay, all right.
[two second pause]
Jeff: What did it say?
Sammy: [scoffs] Don't tell me you wanna know.
Jeff: Yeah. I'm concerned about Krystle too.

Blake: Alexis, I thought I made it quite clear that I didn't want you to come here!
Alexis: Oh, yes, Blake, you made it quite clear. But I don't arrange my life to suit the Gospel According to Blake Carrington!

Dana: [barefoot and in bath robe, opens door, sighs] I just got back from the office and I was about to take a shower, Adam.
Adam: I just got back from Australia, I had to come straight here.
Dana: Australia? I didn't know you were gone.
Adam: [laughs] You missed me that much?
Dana: [sighs] Let's just say that with your father away, there's been a lot to occupy me at the office, and right now...
Adam: Dana, I thought about you every bit of the time that I was away. And I kept hoping that you were missing me as much as I was missing you. And that's the end of the speech it took me from Sydney to Denver to prepare.
[laughs]
Dana: You're actually saying that after the way we fought the last time we were together?
Adam: Lovers' quarrel.
Dana: No, let's mark it down as a lot more than that, Adam.

Rashid: Because the explosion will be heard all over the financial world as Blake Carrington will be dead financially.
Alexis: Blake's funeral, finally.

Neal: [creepily] Alexis, you look absolutely stunning. You know, every time I see you, I say to myself: there's no justice.
Alexis: You're right.

Steven: Mother, how do you keep from hurting people you care about?
Alexis: Sometimes you can't, darling.

Krystle: Blake, last night you said to Steven that it wasn't right for Danny to grow up with his own father as an example.
Blake: Well, that's true, isn't it? That baby deserves the kind of influence that you could give him rather than the kind my son would surround him with.
Krystle: That's not the issue! Because it doesn't matter what Steven's lifestyle is!
Blake: You mean his gayness? That is the polite word they're using nowadays, isn't it?

Alexis: You're so terribly out of touch Blake. So terribly misguided in your thinking. My company can afford to plant daisies in that acerage. So I'm afraid that my offer for your process is zero.
Blake: Don't you try to bluff me Alexis.
Alexis: I don't have to bluff you Blake. Gone are the days when you were king of my fate, when you exiled me from my children and threw me out of Denver.

Steven: [knocking on her door as she works at her desk] Mind if I come in?
Sammy: No, in fact I wish you would.
Steven: [entering] I just left Danny at the stables. He's feeding sugar cubes to Valez. It's one happy kid.
Sammy: [rising from desk and coming around eagerly] Well, then I'll go see him.
Steven: Wait a minute, wait. I thought... I thought maybe the three of us would have some dinner here, and Danny could stay over, and you and I could go out for a night on the town.
Sammy: Any particular reason?
Steven: Absolutely none. Just an impulse. I mean, if you don't want to go...
Sammy: No...!
[eager, bright smile]
Sammy: I'd love to.

Alexis: Adam, I'm glad that you took my advice about Jeff to heart. We've got enough enemies in the world, darling, without inventing new ones.

Sammy: [as bare-chested Steven leaves room] Oh no, this isn't what you think. I mean, Steven is living here only because of Danny. We're... there's nothing between us, we're just friends.
Dana: You trying to convince me or yourself of that?
Sammy: It shows, huh?
Dana: Mm-hm.
[Sammy Jo gives a little laugh, looks away]
Dana: Does he feel the same way?
Sammy: Steven's been good to me, but I guess this is more one-sided.
Dana: I guess we have that in common, don't we?
Sammy: Yeah.

Dominique: [after a viscous catfight] Anytime... anytime you want more of the same, I'll be waiting for you!
Alexis: And I'll be waiting for you to tell the world what a no-talent has-been you are!

Leslie: [hostages] What were you just thinking about?
Sammy: About how much I love Danny... and Steven, and how I'm afraid we're all gonna be...
Leslie: Dead before all this is tbrough?
[hushed: ]
Leslie: I don't know where Uncle Blake went and what he's up to, but... someone has got to do something about this.
Sammy: They have guns here, Leslie.
Leslie: I know. And I'm gonna get my hands on one of them. Don't worry about me.
Sammy: I am worried.
Leslie: Sammy Jo, what have I got to lose by trying after all I've been through? God, I've lost my father, Clay... I've lost everything. You have two very special guys in your life. You hang on to that.

Dex: [entering, sees her suffering] Uh-oh. Paying the price.
Fallon: What was in those drinks?
Dex: Oh, the stuff that hangovers are made of... and headlines.
Fallon: [makes face as she drinks remedy] Headlines?
Dex: Oh, yes.
[hands her the newspaper]
Dex: Somebody had a field day with your dance of the seven veils.
Fallon: [stares aghast at the incriminating front-page photo] It looks so wild.

Alexis: Now, in case you've forgotten, I run this company, and I'm sick and tired of you using my office, cancelling my orders, and threatening my son. I am the Chief Executive of this company.
Ben: A Chief Executive who is also trying to run a newspaper, become Santa Claus to every charity in Denver, and play ring-around-the-rosy with her ex-husband. Do everything, in fact, except run this company.

Krystle: Did you have a good time?
Fallon: Yes, I did. Sorry to diappoint you.
Krystle: Why would that disappoint me?
Fallon: Well, because my husband's out of town, and according to your bourgeois ethical system I should've been locked in my room with a Bronte novel. In case you're interested, my escort tonight was Muffins Begley. You know, of Begley Bed. I mean, Begley Bread. Begley bread and muffins and ehm, pastries, whatever.

Jeff: [after Sammy Jo talked on the phone] Trouble at the ranch?
Sammy: Yeah, that was my stable manager. He's made some pretty heavy mistakes recently, involving a lot of money.
Jeff: Why don't you let him go?
Sammy: I don't know. I keep thinking that maybe...
Jeff: Maybe what?
Sammy: Maybe it isn't all his fault. I've been trying so hard to work things out with Steven that I've forgotten everything else.
[smirks]
Sammy: I can't even trust my own judgment anymore.
Jeff: Sammy Jo, I... I'm sure you're doing the best you can.
Sammy: Am I?
[he nods, and she sighs, sits down]
Sammy: I'm not a very successful businesswoman. Truth is, I'm not feeling very successful as a woman, period. I'm trying, but... nothing seems to work.
Jeff: [comes forward, tries cheering her up] Oh, now, come on now, wait a minute.
Sammy: I don't even think I'm being the best mother I can be.
Jeff: That's not true. You've got a son who adores you.
Sammy: And he worships Steven. And the older he gets, the more confused he's gonna be about the two of us and our relationship. And I've encouraged it selfishly.
Jeff: Hey, hey, hey. Would you stop it? Now, stop putting yourself down. You don't have to do this to yourself.
Sammy: [sadly] I just feel so alone.
Jeff: That's what happens when you start a new life. Welcome to the loneliest club in town. Speaking of which, I'm gonna buy you dinner tonight.
Sammy: Oh, I'm not really very hungry.
Jeff: Oh, come on. We're gonna need all the energy we can get tomorrow. Those kids are gonna run us ragged. Besides, it's my treat.
Sammy: Okay. You've talked me into it.
[smiles]

Cecil: Young people these days are ingrates.

Steven: [discussing nursery school for Danny] Sure. Enroll him in school so you can disappear with him again.
Sammy: Is that all you think of me?
Steven: [considers] That's about it, yeah.

Cecil: If you remember this it could help you. Your husband is a dangerous hunter because he's led the pride for so long. Now, he's willing to take more risks than perhaps he should because he knows that he won't be able to fight off the pack forever.
Blake: [Blake enters the room] Hello there, Cecil!
Cecil: Oh, hi, Blake. We were just talking about you.
Blake: All lies, I expect.
Cecil: Worse. The truth.

Blake: What happened to those days when daughters were virgins, and sons took over their father's businesses, and wives cherished their husbands, forsaking all others?

Steven: What would make you happy, Sammy Jo...? Besides Danny? I mean, if it;s really over between you and Clay, what's next?
Sammy: [shrugs] I don't know what's next. I'm just taking it one day at a time.
Steven: You know, Clay may have signed the papers, but... maybe it's not too late.
Sammy: For what? Steven, it's done. I know what I want.
Steven: Really? I just asked you, and you couldn't give me an answer.
[she looks down]
Steven: What do you want?
Sammy: [bothered] Not to be questioned, for one thing.
Steven: [rises from couch] Look, if I've invaded your privacy, I'm sorry.
Sammy: For God's sake, Steven, stop apologizing. Right now, I'm just... glad we're together.

Alexis: You be good now!
Fallon: Oh, that's no fun. I don't rather be like my mother.
Alexis: Well, at least check them for weapons first.

Fallon: Oh Steven and his mysterious dates. And what about Sammy Jo also conspicuous in her absence? Probably roller skating in the attic.

Krystle: Money. Your leitmotif in life. How's that for an ex-stenographer?
Alexis: Charming! Erudite, so Wagnerian, and so suprising.
Krystle: You married Cecil for it. You tried to buy Danny with it. And you bought off Sammy Jo with it. And now you're using it to try to get Blake. Well, I don't need your money, Alexis - because I'm rich in something you don't even know how to spell. The word's "integrity."

Blake: Remember how you once said to me 'whoever hurts me or my family' you never fail to pay them back?
Dr. Nick Toscanni: [confused] Did I say that?
Blake: [nods] Right in this office.
Dr. Nick Toscanni: Ah.
[shrugs and smiles]
Dr. Nick Toscanni: You know me, Blake. You grow up with Italian operas... lots of passion... big emotions.
Blake: [nods again] How about revenge? Now that's a big emotion. I know how that feels. The overwhelming need to pay back a man who's ruined your life.
Dr. Nick Toscanni: [interrupting] Wait a minute, Blake. Did you get me up here to talk about the guy who threw the bomb?
Blake: [shakes head] No, not my revenge. Yours... against me.
Dr. Nick Toscanni: [guardedly] What the hell are you talking about? Huh? Where'd you get this weird idea?
Blake: Weird? I've checked into your family background. I know all about your half-brother, Gianni Mulhany. I know that you blame me for his death. And for some God-forsaken reason, you're holding me to blame for your brother's death, aren't you? And you came here to Denver so you could...
Dr. Nick Toscanni: [low] ... make you pay, that's right.

Sammy: [when he feels betrayed] That's nonsense. Jeff is a friend and he's helping me out.
Steven: [as she climbs onto the horse] And there is nothing personal in it?
Sammy: [from the saddle] That's none of your business.
Steven: You know, you've always made such a big deal about not being dependent on me, and now you're just leaning on Jeff.
Sammy: This conversation has gone on long enough. If you wanna see Danny, he'll be back from school. See him at home.
[rides off]

Blake: [raises his glass] Cecil, to you. You've been a good friend. And more. I don't think it's any secret here at this table that you helped me out of some small difficulty recently.
Jeff: And all it cost you was your daughter. Well, that's not a very large price to pay for survival, is it, Blake?

Alexis: Is something the matter?
Krystle: It's just that you're an incredible contrast in moods, Alexis.
Alexis: [laughs] That sounds almost profound coming from you.
Krystle: Last night you were in a state of hysteria over Jeff. Now, it's party time.
Alexis: Of course I was upset last night and rightly so, but I was certainly not hysterical.
Krystle: It seemed to me you were out of control.
Alexis: Out of control - is that what it means when I care about a man who means so much to me? Who really counted in my life? Who was there when I really needed him?
Krystle: Oh, you do protest. What did I do, Alexis, touch a nerve?

Ed: Now, you're calling me a drunk and you're sticking up for the prevert? Maybe you're one of them too, huh, Blaisdel? Maybe that's what drove your old lady into the nuthouse?

Steven: [Speaking about Matthew and Walter] Dad, I want you to help them. I'll do anything you want. I'll come back to work for you. I'll try to be the son you want me to be.
Blake: Oh? You mean that you'd take a job in my public relations office?
Steven: Yes, sir.
Blake: You mean that if I called up Brian Cable and said you wanted to date his daughter, that you'd go out with her?
Steven: Yes, sir.
Blake: Does that mean that you would give up your curious New York ways?
Steven: Yes, sir.
Blake: And you would do all that for Matthew Blaisdel, and you won't do that for me?
Steven: Dad, I want you to do what's fair.
Blake: I don't want your conditions, understand that? You don't give me conditions. You be what I want you to be! You understand that?

Alexis: Look, Mark, there's nothing to be ashamed of in a man being in love with his own wife. Fight Blake! Hard. He's in a very vulnerable position right now... or he will be quite soon.

[last lines]
Jake: Your honor, our witness has arrived.
[all heads turn to behold a woman in a stylish dress, large hat and sunglasses sashaying regally down the courtroom aisle]
Blake: [whispering to a stunned Andrew] What's she doing here? What's going on?
Fallon: Oh, my God, that's my mother.

Alexis: Oh, he didn't tell you.
Steven: No
Alexis: Well he swears that he didn't buy little Danny but I know that he did for Krystle - his beloved, but barren, Krystle.

Andrew: [about Matthew Blaisdel] He'll, eh, transfer at Kennedy, arrive at Stapleton International tomorrow morning at ten A.M.
Blake: [grunts] Have his plane shot down over Kansas.
Andrew: [pause] Eh, forgive my stupidity, Blake, but, eh, is that some kind of a joke?
Blake: [Grumbling] Yeah, it's a joke, I guess.

Ben: [disapproving] You must have spent quite a night with that ex-husband of yours.
Alexis: [nonchalantly] He kept me out of the rain.

Mark: Look, Krystle, you're with your husband. You're not married to Blake Carrington; you're married to me!... Krystle, our divorce papers were never filed in Mexico. You gotta believe me. This is important to both of us. We were never divorced.

Amanda: [glumly miserable] Things will be happy, Daddy.

Alexis: This is all your fault! Every time you come into my life, something terrible happens to me!

Jeff: It seems that... my life has been like a roller coaster this past year. And I've made a lot of decisions, and some of them weren't right, but... I know what I am going to ask you is right.
Sammy: [smiling] Go ahead. I'm listening.
Jeff: I want you to marry me.
[Sammy Jo giggles]
Jeff: I love you and I want you to be my wife.
[little Danny overhears and seems dismayed]
Sammy: [giggles] I don't know what to say.
[unseen, Danny scampers off]
Jeff: Say yes.
Sammy: Oh, it's so quick, I mean...
Jeff: What?
Sammy: Well, it's not like you, to push. You're the... you're the kind of guy who thinks things through.
Jeff: [gets up, takes her by the shoulders] I have thought it through. I mean, if it seems like I'm pushing, it's because I know it's right. Sammy Jo, I love you. Look, we only go around once. Let's... let's do it. Let's not miss our chance at being happy. Let's get married.
Sammy: I just need a little time to think.
Jeff: Sammy Jo...
Sammy: I do. Just a little time.

Alexis: Well, Jerome, in the brief time you may be working for me, no one is allowed in my office unless I give specific approval.

Adam: [early morning hours, meeting at top of stairs] Well, if it isn't Cinderella.
Fallon: God, of all the people to run into.
Adam: [taunting her] Hot date... or just working real late at the office again?
Fallon: Shut up, Adam.
[steers past him]
Adam: Ooh. Touched a nerve.
[raises his brows]
Adam: Looks like you got your tickets to the policeman's ball.
Fallon: [impatiently] Tickets to what?
Adam: Is it true that cops sleep with their guns on?
Fallon: [softly snarling] Who the hell do you think you are?
Adam: Can't resist a man in uniform, can you?
Fallon: [seething] You really are an ass, aren't you?
Adam: And what are you, Fallon?
[grabs her by the shoulders]
Fallon: Let go of me!
Adam: What would you call a woman who's sleeping with a cop who's trying to put her own father in jail?
Fallon: A lesson in morals from a man who has none.
Adam: Zorelli's just using you.
Fallon: Since you're the expert in using people, you should...
Adam: He doesn't care about you! He wants Dad's scalp, and you're helping him to get it!
Fallon: That's not true!
Adam: You'd sacrifice your whole family for this guy you don't even know?
Fallon: Family? You don't even know the meaning of the word. You've back-stabbed just about everybody...
Adam: I've never betrayed my own father!
Fallon: Only because you're afraid you'd be cut out of his will. What's the matter, Adam? Touched a nerve?

Alexis: [findng out Dominique is the executor of Tom's will] *You*! The executor of the legacy that Blake and I were going to leave for our children. I'll fight this travesty through every possible court and I'll *break* it.
Dominique: Just a moment, Alexis. Now, you loathe me and I despise you. But, it's time to face the fact; we're are one big *family* now.

Walter: Sometimes you forget who owns what in this company.
Matthew: Uh-uh, I remember. We both own fifty percent of nothin'.

Ed: Why don't you go back and ask your sissy friend?
Matthew: I'd rather have a sissy for a friend than a... sneak and a coward.

Krystina: [examined with stethoscope] That tickles...

D.A. Jake Dunham: Mr. Laird, I just want to say I've been an admirer of yours for a long time.
Andrew: Thank you.
D.A. Jake Dunham: I'm really gonna enjoy this. Kinda reminds me of my football days, first time I ever made the varsity. I finally get to play with the big boys.

Sean: Look, I really don't have time for your small talk right now, Leslie. Save it for the bedroom, ok?

Alexis: I'm sorry to disappoint you, Neal, but if you came here to see me squirm, you are out of the cab fare it took to get here, or did you have to walk?

[Fallon is driving dangerously fast]
Alexis: Fallon are you trying to kill us both? Look darling, whatever this is all about, and I presume it's about Dr. Toscani, no man is worth it!
Fallon: You oughta know because you know all about men don't you mother?
Alexis: Fallon you're obviously drunk! -...
Fallon: If you don't answer me that question, well answer me this- is Blake my father or isn't he?
Alexis: Fallon what's wrong with you tonight?
Fallon: Just answer me- yes or no, because if you don't I'll kill us both, I swear to God I will!
Alexis: Fallon I can't answer that! I honestly can't answer it! Blake could be your father... or...
Fallon: Or... Mother!
Alexis: ...Cecil Colby!
[Fallon loses control of the car]
Alexis: Fallon!
[the car swerves off the road, crashing through a construction sight, as Alexis and Fallon clutch the steering wheel in desperation, the car barely misses a bulldozer, and then crashes]

Dr. Nick Toscanni: You are human, Blake, if not humane.

Ted: Obviously you can't make your own marriage work. I mean, if you think you're gonna take Steven and turn him around, what is that? A badge of honor, a validation, proof that you're a real woman?
Claudia: That's an ugly thing to say, that really is.
Ted: I love Steven, Mrs. Blaisdel. And I'll fight for him if I have to.

Michael: Why did you marry him, Fallon? Honest answer.
Fallon: Well, for one thing I wanna own... run Colbyco Oil. Honest enough for you?
Michael: Then you swiped the orchid out of the wrong hothouse. Cecil Colby. You sure had a chance to make it with him.

William: Your honor, I must agree with my client. This last minute bit of histrionics is an insult to this court!
Gloria: The truth is never an insult!

Jeff: The gate just called. Blake and Krystle are on their way. Where's Adam?
Fallon: Probably at the office making arrangements for his coronation.
Jeff: [to Sammy Jo joining them] Did you bring Krystle's diary?
Sammy: [patent black leather trousers] No.
Jeff: Why not?
Sammy: Because I didn't. I'm going upstairs to get Krystina.
Fallon: Trouble in paradise?
Jeff: Knock it off.
Sammy: [going up the stairs, where the little girl, now blonde, is sitting midway up] Well, there you are, Krystina. Guess what? Your Mommy's here.
Krystina: [uncertain] Is she... all right?
Sammy: Of course she's all right. She can't wait to see you.
Jeff: [at front door, Krystle and Blake enters] Hi.
Krystina: Mommy!
Krystle: [greeting Jeff and Fallon] Hi.
Krystina: [charging down the stairs] Mommy!
Krystle: Krystina!
[scoops her up]
Krystle: Oh, hello, darling. I missed you.
[Blake smiles]
Krystina: Where did you go? You scared me.
Krystle: Did I? Oh, I'm sorry, darling.
[strokes her hair]
Krystina: Please don't leave me again. Please.
[Blake looks on wistfully]

Fallon: [drink in hand, unbuttoned, fascinated by the belly dancer] Look at her. Isn't she amazing? How does she do that?
Dex: You've had a little too much to drink. You should go back to the hotel.
Fallon: Oh, no, not yet. It's fun here. I wanna stay and enjoy myself.

Alexis: [to Dex] It wasn't enough to destroy our love, was it? You had to help that witch destroy me financially too.

Alexis: Are you also concerned about what's happening to my son?
Dana: [sweetly] Yes, I love Adam very much.
Alexis: [sarcastic] Oh, you worshiped him from afar, but you never dared to talk to him. Then when you found out that he was a Carrington, you made your move.
Dana: [flings the paper work she'd been busy with aside] That is sick, Alexis!
Alexis: No, Dana. What is sick is what you are doing to my son. I have just had to go and bail him out of jail.
Dana: What?
Alexis: Yes. The police found him lying drunk in an alley. And you know what happened when I went to see him? He told me to leave.
Dana: Look, Alexis, I'm sorry for what has happened to Adam, but for you to blame me...
Alexis: Yes, yes, I do blame you. And I hold you responsible for what's happening with Adam. For my own son, to run away from me, you know what that means?
Dana: My God, I have tried to tell everyone that something is wrong with Adam. Except nobody would listen to me. And that includes you, Alexis.
Alexis: [lowers her eyes, stands up, moves away, sits down deep in thought] That's right, you have been trying to tell us. All right, let's find out what it is. Now I'm listening.

Blake: [adressing the house staff] The rest of you will understand that what I've tried to convey is that you are all dispensable to me. My wife is not.

Fallon: [about Blake] He used to be a fair judge of women. I think he suffered irreversible brain damage from breathing too much dime-store perfume.

Alexis: A total stranger, an obese nurse, a fat phantom in white tells me my own flesh and blood is alive and well. Not my family, not one of you - why?

Dex: [to Joanna] I'm surprised you don't have a check in your hand.
[she scoffs]
Dex: But then again, maybe you let Adam put it in someplace more personal.

Blake: And what did you tell the police, congressman?
Neal: Well, I told them that I had made up my mind to kill Alexis. To either choke her or deposit a bullet in her conniving brain. Tit for tat for ruining me politically.

Sable: [about Alexis] She's already made contact with the royal family down there. You know how easily impressed they are with cheap trinkets like herself.

Andrew: Everything depends on which one of those fanatics manages to kill off all the others and come out on top. Maybe he'll be a gentleman and turn those tankers loose...
Blake: Maybe he'll just nationalize the whole shootin' match and trade it to the Russians for MiG-21s.

Jeff: [after Fallon left] What was I supposed to do? She just showed up!
Sammy: Shoot her. Push her out the window.
Jeff: Oh, come on. Fallon likes to play games.
Sammy: Yeah, she likes to play them here.
Jeff: Oh, come on, let's not let this ruin the rest of the day, huh?
[but Sammy Jo is leaving]
Jeff: Where are you going?
Sammy: Out of here!
Jeff: Let's at least have some champagne.
Sammy: [really annoyed] Champagne? Champagne? You want some champagne? I'll give you champagne!
[opens bottle, drenching him with spray]
Sammy: How's that for champagne?
[eyes flaring, breezes off towards door, slamming it heartily]

Fallon: Adam's dull wit needs all the sharpening it can get.

Alexis: Must be a lot of tension in his mind associated with you.
Krystle: Strange, I mean you. How you have this uncanny talent for coloring things. The way want them to appear, even when you are under oath on the witness stand. But, that does not make it true, Alexis.

Krystle: Us, you and me. How I'm going to keep on fighting you, Alexis, just like you're fighting me. And when the war is over, I hope to God you remember who declared it.

Dana: Sammy Jo, you don't understand. Adam is never going to forgive me... for not telling him the truth before we got married. I know he won't.
Sammy: So you're gonna run away from it all? Oh, boy, is that ever gonna thrill somebody.
Dana: Who?
Sammy: Dear lovable Alexis. You know she's gonna be on Cloud Nine when she finds out that you and Adam split. Dana, don't give her the pleasure. Talk to Adam. He knows you had the abortion. He knows he would have been the baby's father. And the secret's out. Shouldn't you deal with it?

Danny: [at wedding reception, to his little niece] May I have this dance, Krystina?
Krystina: Yes.
[they do their little turn, and there is laughter all round]
Adam: [amused by the children] There's something I haven't told you since we've been married.
Dana: [smiling] What?
Adam: I love you.
Dana: I love you too. Very much.

Claudia: [about Dominique] She certainly does like to make cryptic exits.

Alexis: Hello, Fallon. I saw the light on and I just had to come over and talk to somebody about this terrible news about poor Krystle.
Fallon: Poor Krystle, you love it, mother. I mean, I don't like her being around here still, either, but at least I'm honest about it.

Blake: Alright, you came back, you said what you had to both here and in the courtroom. Now please leave. This office. This building. And this city.
Alexis: Blake, I go or I stay where I choose.

Sammy: [steadying her as she awakens from dream] Fallon!
Fallon: Oh, God. Oh, God.
Sammy: What?
Fallon: He was right here.
Sammy: Who? Who were you dreaming about?
Fallon: Roger Grimes.
Sammy: That dead guy?
Fallon: [nods] All the time. I dream about him all the time. I thought he'd disappeared. But he's back.
Sammy: Fallon.
[shakes her head]
Fallon: He said he came back because I've been staying away from Zorelli.
Sammy: [incredulously] He talks to you about Zorelli?
Fallon: He said Zorelli betrayed me. And he's right. He did betray me. He used me. I gotta get out of this bed.
[gets up]
Sammy: Let's get some milk.

Alexis: Thinking about money is never terrible

Claudia: Look, I never went to college, you know. I'm not blaming you for that.
Lindsay: I made you a mother at 16.
Claudia: You didn't do it by yourself, you know.

[first lines]
Bailiff: Do you solemnly swear that all the testimony you may give before this court shall be the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth, so help you God?
Alexis: Yes, I do.

Sammy: [waking up in the middle of the night to find him out of bed standing in front of the window looking out] Clay? What are you doing?
Clay: I couldn't sleep.
Sammy: [coming up behind him, putting her arms around him] You usually sleep like a rock. What's changed?
Clay: [sighs] We have.
[turns around to look her in the eyes]
Clay: Sammy Jo, I care for you...
Sammy: Care? I'm gonna have your baby and you care for me? That's all?
Clay: I wanna do what's right, but my gut is turning inside. It's like my whole life has been decided for me, regardless of how I feel.
Sammy: I see. And the baby?
Clay: I want you to have an abortion.
Sammy: We've gone from me deciding your life to you deciding mine, feel better?
Clay: Look, Sammy Jo, I don't wanna hurt you...
Sammy: Worry about yourself, Clay. I'll take care of me. And for right now, maybe you should leave. I'll sleep much better alone.

Fallon: Wait a minute. He's a priest?
Sammy: Yeah, but I don't mind that so much.
Fallon: You mean, the kind of priest with a collar and vows of celibacy? That kind of a priest?
Sammy: Yes, that kind of a priest. But what bothers me is that he didn't tell me about that right from the beginning.
Fallon: That's what bothers you?
Sammy: Yes.
Fallon: It's not that you got more involved than you wanted to be?
Krystina: [comes rushing in] They don't want me to play in their fort!
Sammy: Who? What's the matter?
Fallon: Who, sweetheart?
Krystina: L.B. and Danny.
Sammy: Listen, Krystina, men are all alike. They push us around and try to keep us in what they think is our place.
Fallon: Not only that, the only reason you wanna be in their stupid fort is because they don't want you to be there. Right?
Krystina: [cute innocence] I don't know.
Fallon: It's called forbidden fruit. It always tastes better.
Krystina: Huh?
Fallon: You'll figure it out one day.

Judge: Does the defense rest?
Andrew: We rest, your honor.
Judge: Mr. Dunham, does the state have any rebuttal witnesses?
Jake: Your honor, the state does have one rebuttal witness, who should be here in a few minutes' time.
[whispers to his aide]
Jake: And this should blow 'em right out of the water.

Claudia: We neurotics always cover ourselves with quilts that are sewn together with dark secrets - hadn't you noticed.

Krystle: [upon learning of Alexis' role in bringing Mark to Denver] God, you've sunk to a new level. A man who walks out on me--no goodbyes--just walks out on me, scheming with a woman that rotten. They're gonna have to rewrite the books when it comes to unholy alliances.

Fallon: Eavesdropping, Krystle? You could be more discreet - I mean that is what phone extensions are for.

Fallon: Hello, Krystle, you're looking well today.
Krystle: Am I?
Fallon: Yeah, playing musical bedrooms seems to suit you.
Krystle: I'm not in the mood for any of your flip observations this morning, Fallon.

Fallon: My husband's name is Jeff. When I married him, he was a decent human being. Now he seems to be some kind of a maniac. And I'm wondering...
Divorcee: Wondering what?
Fallon: Did I do it to him?

Clay: Well, I was gonna come pick you up.
Sammy: Well, I didn't think you could be there. In fact, I didn't even think you'd be here.
Clay: We live here, remember?
Sammy: That's right. We're Mr and Mrs Fallmont, the not-so-happy newlyweds.
Clay: Sammy Jo, you've got to listen to me. I know why you're angry with me. I never should have said the things I did at the hospital.
Sammy: They're hard words to forget. God, they're hard to forget.
Clay: I know. But you gotta understand, I didn't know what I was saying, all I knew was that you were... gonna have our baby.
[she turns to look up at him]
Clay: And that made me very proud.
Sammy: Now let's get into my feelings. I realized at first you just wanted sex from me.
Clay: Oh, come on, that's not true!
Sammy: You wanted to have sex, and you wanted to keep me away from your family, because you were ashamed of my background. But then you married me. I'd like to think that it was because you loved me, and that even if there were no baby, you still would have married me, but that isn't true, is it?
Clay: I did love you!
[she: ]
Clay: I do.
Sammy: I don't think so.
[sighs]
Sammy: I want an annulment, Clay.
Clay: That's crazy! Sammy Jo, all I want is for us to stay married... and be happy.
Sammy: [resolute] We're strangers to one another. I'm sorry, but I have to end this.

Mark: [clutching the Mexican divorce decree] I bought this from a lawyer I met in a bar.
Krystle: A bar? You bought our divorce in a bar?

Alexis: That's caviar, Mark, not peanut butter.

Fallon: I always wondered what you were made of, Adam. And now I know. It comes out of the back of a horse!
[leaves, slams door]

Mark: What was that all about?
Alexis: Call it "balance."
Mark: "Balance." Meaning?
Alexis: Keeping people off it.

Cecil: Blake Carrington is a hunting animal. He's sleek and fast. But it's the hunt, the wanting, the chase, the running to ground that's exciting to him. More even than the prize.
Krystle: And I'm the prize?
Cecil: Here's my gift to you, Krystle. Here's what I brought you. Figure out what it is that Blake wants most, and then don't give it to him.
Krystle: That doesn't sound like very friendly advice to me.
Cecil: That's the nice thing about a gift - you can keep it or you can throw it away.

Sable: And you're drunk.
Alexis: That may be, but tomorrow, I'll be sober, while, you, alas, will still be you.

Krystle: Have a nice flight. Are you taking a plane?
Alexis: Krystle, what a wicked sense of humor, I'm almost beginning to find you interesting.

Mark: What do they call a woman like you?
Alexis: Smart and intelligent. A woman who always knows exactly what she wants and how to go about getting it.

Dr. Nadine Craig: Dear, there's no easy way for me to say this. You're not pregnant.
Sammy: What?
Dr. Nadine Craig: It's a false pregnancy, Sammy Jo.
Sammy: That's crazy. That's the wildest thing I've ever heard.
Dr. Nadine Craig: The lab tests showed no evidence of true pregnancy.
Sammy: Then the test is wrong. Look, my body, everything about me is the same as when I was carrying Danny. I was pregnant then, and I'm pregnant now.
Dr. Nadine Craig: Sammy Jo, it doesn't mean you can't have a child. It simply means...
Sammy: [irrate] What it means is that I'm going to see another doctor. Not one that's gonna try and mix up my life.
Dr. Nadine Craig: Well, that's your privilege, of course, but the fact remains...
Sammy: Stop using that word, the 'fact.' I know what the fact is. I'm carrying my husband's baby. It's inside me right now. I feel it. I know it. I don't care what you say.
[turns and leaves, slamming office door]

Alexis: After all, we share the same title.
Krystle: You had it, once. I have it now; there's a big difference.

Sammy: My gay ex-husband saying it straight?

Alexis: My beloved mother used to tell me, "Never make promises that you can't keep. It's rude and impolite." In your case, Dominique, it's stupid and disastrous!

Claire: That was just a friendly kiss.
Sammy: Oh, I didn't say anything, did I?
Claire: No, but I sensed something about the way you looked at me. And you've no reason to be jealous.
Sammy: You don't know what you're talking about.
Claire: [smirks] He's a terrific guy. And I think you might still have some personal feelings towards him.
[disdainful look, turns and leaves, leaving Sammy Jo looking after her wryly]

Alexis: What do you think would happen if I told Mr. Carrington what you just said?
Sammy: And what do you think would happen if I told your daughter what Steven told me: that who her real daddy is, is anyone's guess?

Dominique: Why, you dirty little...
Alexis: Don't choke on the word, spit it out. Or has the former nightclub queen become too much of a lady these days?

Elena,: [in front of the La Mirage bathroom mirror, as Amanda sails into her] What are you doing? Keep your hands off me!
Amanda: It's not gonna work. Do you understand?
Elena,: [in her heavy accent] No, I do not understand. Just what are you saying?
Amanda: You may be able to fool other people with your political idealism, your love for Moldavia, but you can't fool me. Because I know it's my husband that you want.
Elena,: Oh, God, how blind you are, Amanda. Can't you see what's brought me here? Humiliation. You don't know what it's like to lose your homeland, to have people despise you because your father is a traitor. You just do not know.
Amanda: I do know a liar and a hypocrite when I see one. So stay out of our lives.
[pushes Elena out of the way, causing her to reel, and burst out into tears, covering her eyes with her hands]

Sammy: Steven, I want you to know that I liked being here last night.
Steven: Well, I'm glad you stayed. Especially at a time like this, with Krystina in the hospital, it's... it's good to be together as a family.
Sammy: Hmm. Oh, what about other times? Why do we need a crisis? Why can't we just live together... as a family?
Steven: Having a family means everything to me, Sammy Jo. But nothing's gonna change the way we are.
Sammy: Well, let's forget about us for a second. Think about Danny. He needs to have his father. He needs both of us.
Steven: What about you? What about your needs? You're a beautiful young woman, and you deserve a man who can love you the way I can't.
Sammy: All I care about right now is Danny's happiness,
Steven: Are you sure?
Sammy: [nods] Danny's happiness and... yours.
[takes little snack]
Steven: Look at me, Sammy Jo.
[she does]
Steven: I'm the same man, I haven't changed.
Sammy: Steven, all I'm asking is that we be together. We need each other. And whatever happens, or doesn't happen, can't we at least try?
[he looks at her thinking this over]
Sammy: Think about it.

[last lines]
Sammy: [after wedding, limousine about to leave] I hope they have a wonderful honeymoon.
Jeff: There's not gonna be a honeymoon.
Sammy: What?
Jeff: The doctor just called. He wants them to fly directly to the clinic in Switzerland. The operation is scheduled for the day after tomorrow.
Fallon: [as Krystle waves] Oh, dear God, protect her.

Adam: Steven, I truly want to be friends with you.
[places hands of friendship on Steven's shoulders. Steven angrily pushes them off]
Steven: Just because we're brothers doesn't make us friends.

Blake: Sometimes, you are very naive, Krystle.

Alexis: [to Krystle] When I leave a message, especially with an ex-stenographer, I expect it to be passed on.

Jeff: I want you to know that Fallon and I are going to take a stab at making our marriage work.
[Nick nods]
Jeff: So take this as a warning: stay out of our lives.
Dr. Nick Toscanni: Is that it?
Jeff: No, that's not all of it. The last time I took a swing at you, you said 'one punch per customer'. Well, if I catch you near my wife again, I'm only gonna need one.
Dr. Nick Toscanni: [both exchange frosty smiles] Come off it, pal. You don't have a wife... you got yourself a Carrington. And about your baby, does it belong to you, or is it like everything else in that mansion? And this building, practically everywhere you look. Is it another possession of Blake Carrington's?

Fallon: I don't wear clothes to bed.
Adam: How about that? Neither do I.

Sammy: [just woke up] Good morning.
[Steven, slumped, is sitting on the end of the bed]
Sammy: How long have you been awake?
Steven: Most of the night.
Sammy: Is something wrong?
Steven: Yeah... We're wrong.
Sammy: [little laugh] What are you talking about?
Steven: I'm talking about us. About me.
[sighs]
Steven: Last night...
Sammy: But, Steven, we made love last night. I wasn't pretending, we're you?
Steven: [shakes head] It's not a matter of pretending.
Sammy: [uncertainly] Then what is it?
Steven: [softly] Sammy Jo, you... you think that because we made love, that everything's fine, you think that I've changed, but I haven't. I can't.
Sammy: I'm not asking you to change.
Steven: No, but that's what you're hoping for, and it's wrong. It's wrong for me. It's wrong for you.
Sammy: It's not wrong for me. I love you, and I love being with you, and holding you. People change, Steven.
Steven: Part of me... is never going to change, Sammy Jo. Don't you understand that I can't be the kind of man you want me to be, and I can't lie to myself about it.
Sammy: Then what do you want?
Steven: I don't know, but it can't be this.
Sammy: [realizes it is over] What are we gonna do?
[cries]
Steven: [cradling her head] I wish I knew.
[she sobs]
Steven: I'm sorry.

Father: [as they dance] They're blue.
Sammy: What?
Father: Your eyes. They're a beautiful shade of blue.
[beaming smile from her]

Sable: [referring to Alexis] Just look at that. She's playing mistress of the manor again.

Steven: Look, I've always had this love-hate thing going with him and hate won out. I didn't want it to happen that way, but it happened.

Dex: Where are you going?
Alexis: Home. Nobody takes me to the cleaners and to bed in the same day, Mr. Dexter. Good night.

Cecil: I expect, bright as you are, you'll end up running your father's company.
Fallon: Not likely. See, there's an unwritten law at Denver-Carrington. At the upper-management level there are no blacks, no jews, no Eskimos and... no women.
Cecil: Well, maybe I should give you a company to run. I'm sure I've got a couple of small ones lying around.

Steven: I'm broke, Sammy Jo.
Sammy: You could have told me this.

Monica: [after Jeff's joke] Dumb? It would take three of your IQ to match mine, and I'd still get change.

Blake: A penny for your thoughts.
Krystle: Oh. I was iust looking at Kristina, thinking whatever Sammy Jo is now, she was once this vulnerable.
Blake: Darling, you must put Sammy Jo out of your mind. You've done eveything you could to help her, and she's given you nothing but trouble in return.

Fallon: I don't intend to cheat on him.
Michael: Yet.

Alexis: Well, other than that, it feels just like home.
Krystle: It isn't - not yours.

Alexis: I'll use my pen, thank you.
Sable: Whatever makes your writing legible, dear.
Alexis: It's called style, Sable. Some of us have it, some of us haven't
Sable: [Coughs] Well, I guess that concludes our business. Now, you can take your trained monkey and go play on some other street corner.

Krystle: Your little game is over, Tracy, and you've lost.
Tracy: Wrong, you are wrong, Krystle. You see, the way I play, the game isn't over until the team walks off the field, So, just between us, let's consider this a time out.

Dominique: Alexis!
Alexis: What do you want?
Dominique: I've heard you don't care for my singing.
Alexis: That's right. It's the truth that hurts.
Dominique: The truth? I hope you say that when I sue you in court for libel.
Alexis: Oh, you'd only make a fool of yourself, Dominique. Everyone knows you're nothing but a... second-rate lounge act.
Dominique: I don't care what you say to my face, you viper! Retract this or I'll cram it down your throat!
Alexis: Will you?
[slaps newspaper out of Dominique's hand]

Alexis: Who do you think you are?
Adam: Your son. Who wants ColbyCo to devour my father's company, not turn it into a national shrine!

Fallon: [getting suspicious about what Tanner had on the menu] I'm afraid to... Has anybody seen the dog?

Blake: How many are you here in this room right now. What is this, an exhibition? Come and look at the blind man. Come and see what the blind man does. See how he rages in his blindness.

Fallon: Please let me go to your house and stay there for a while, alone. I need a place to...
Dr. Nick Toscanni: To what? Hide from the rest of the world? What are you afraid of? Someone will find you? Maybe change your mind?
Fallon: You mean Jeff.
Dr. Nick Toscanni: Yes, Jeff, if he cares.
Fallon: It's not his business.
Dr. Nick Toscanni: Why don't you answer a question for a change. Does he still care?
Fallon: Yes, he cares. But so do l. It's my life, it's my future. Right now, I exist only for me. If that's wrong, if that's selfish, I don't care.

Blake: She's been that way ever since she was a child.
Sammy: That bad, huh?
Blake: I've heard her say "I'm sorry" as many times as I've heard her say "hello".
[Sammy Jo chuckles]
Blake: But right now, I don't care what she says, as long as she comes home with me.
Sammy: She loves you. We all do.
Blake: Thank you.
[they hug]
Blake: And I love you.

Krystle: Haven't I seen him on television?
Blake: Jerry Henderson? Of course you have. Best congressman money can buy.

Sean: [Blake and Dex are trapped in a ship's hold and Sean is speaking to them via intercom] We have something in common, we three: two former and one present husband of the illustrious Alexis Colby. Isn't it marvelous, eh? How, only in America, could the son of a servant enjoy the fruits of a marriage in a rich and powerful family. But it's not quite the fate my sister had to endure. Or my father.

Fallon: Don't turn psychiatrist on me, Nick, not in bed.

Krystle: I was sick. I was pregnant with the child you made me lose.
Alexis: Please, you still don't believe that, do you?
Krystle: Oh yes, I do.

Steven: I was just talking to Danny about what he wanted to be when he grows up. He said three things: computer analyst, a lawyer and a rodeo champion. Can you believe this kid? I think we have a very ambitious tyke on our hands. Sammy Jo?
[she hasn't listened to a word Steven said]

Sammy: Steven.
Steven: [turns back] Yeah?
Sammy: We need to talk.
[faltering: ]
Sammy: I'm not sure I understand all the ground rules. We went to dinner as a couple, and I assumed we were coming back as a couple. Is that a mistake?

Andrew: [about Alexis] She's really good, isn't she? Wait till I get her on the witness stand. I'm gonna tear her apart.
Blake: There's not gonna be any cross examination.

Blake: If you go on ruining other people's lives, I wouldn't give a dime for your chances of holding on to your own.

Adam: If you can't take it all, it's not worth having.

Alexis: I don't appreciate surprises like this, Krystle.
Krystle: Alexis, it wouldn't be a surprise if you hadn't left the dinner party so early last night.
Alexis: Really? Well maybe, just maybe, it was because the champagne was flat, the caviar was mushy and some of the company, to put it bluntly, very, very dull.

Mark: How about joining me for a drink?
Fallon: I own this place, you know.
Mark: Good. Then it's on you.

Dex: If I know these revolutionaries, they can't be bribed--at least, not for the next year or so.

Adam: I will not accept a casual "I'm sorry". I will not accept a vulnerable but short-lived "Help me". Either you listen to me, Mother, or I go.

Steven: What's up?
Sammy: [little sigh] Clay and I are getting an annulment.
Steven: I thought Clay had changed his mind.
Sammy: No, I changed my mind.
Steven: Oh, I'm sorry, it's not easy.
Sammy: Oh, it's for the best. Oh, Steven, you did mean it when you said I'd be able to see more of Danny, right?
Steven: Of course I did. And... maybe... I could come with Danny out to Delta Rho, and the three of us could spend some time together.
Sammy: [smiling] For Danny? Fine.
Steven: And for me.
Sammy: You?
Steven: For the part of me that needs a family.
Sammy: [friendly laugh] I'd like that.

Sammy: My maid said you phoned, but you said you weren't gonna be here till three.
Amanda: [disdainfully] Well, I hope I'm not interrupting your snack or your big business dealings.
Sammy: [wants to get this over with] What is it, Amanda?
Amanda: [irksome] I don't appreciate your telling Clay Fallmont about what happened to me.
Sammy: The pills.
[graciously]
Sammy: I'm sorry, Amanda. I shouldn't have opened my mouth.
Amanda: [aggressive] You damned well know it.
Sammy: [impatient now] I said, I'm sorry.
Amanda: Well, from what I've heard, Sammy Jo, there's a big risk in believing anything you say. Just let me make it clear. What I do with my life is my personal business.
Sammy: Oh, could that personal business be a good-looking guy named Clay Fallmont?
[knows she's right]
Sammy: Tell me something, Amanda. Would you have come here at all if I had told some Joe Doe about what happened and not Clay? That's what's bothering you, isn't it? I just told the wrong guy.
Amanda: Clay Fallmont has absolutely nothing to do with this.
Sammy: Look, I might have been born dirt-poor, but it seems like a senator's son prefers me over born-rich types like you, so I'm riding high, Amanda.
Amanda: [sneering] Or heading for a fall, Sammy Jo.
Sammy: Look, I've got work to do, so there's the door.
[points, scooting Amanda out, and as the tennis-outfitted heiress storms out petulantly, reaches for the phone]
Sammy: I'd like to speak to Clay Fallmont, please.

Alexis: Rashid, did you make the deal?
Rashid: Your former husband was quite an adversary. A real instinct for the jugular. You should have warned me.
Alexis: It was Blake or you.
Rashid: And you made your choice.

Dana: [rushing up] Oh, Sammy Jo, you haven't seen Adam, have you?
Sammy: No, I haven't. Isn't he at the office?
Dana: No, I phoned. His secretary said he ran out in a rush and he hasn't come back. Oh, my God, I hope he...
Sammy: What?
Dana: That he hasn't heard about Krystina. I mean, he's very close to the edge already.

[last lines]
Adam: Who else have you been talking to about me? Besides Dr. Edwards, I mean, and Steven and God knows who else.
Dana: [taken aback] What?
Adam: You've been talking to my father too, about how strangely I've been acting. And told Mother I've turned into a drunk.
Dana: Adam, I don't know what it is...
Adam: It won't work, Dana. I can't pretend everything's fine between us if I know it's not.
Dana: [imploring] Have you stop loving me? Is that what's really wrong?
Adam: I don't know. I'm not sure anymore.
[she stares at him, aghast]
Adam: I only know that I'm being smothered by you, by everybody. And I've got to get away.
Dana: Adam, if it's the wedding...
Adam: Wedding? What wedding? There's not gonna be any damned wedding!
[takes a hefty gulp of wine]

Dex: Not only does she hate me for sleeping with you, but she thinks I conspired with you to ruin her company.
Sable: Oh, you poor thing. I'll tell you what. The moment she gets back, I'll run into her suite and tell her that we were far too busy doing naughty things to conspire anything.

Jeff: Oh, my God. A woman who doesn't even wanna see her own baby? I mean, what kind of a monster are you?
Fallon: I'm me.

Dr. B. Forrester: Well, there's no point in your all waiting tonight. The baby is in intensive care, and Mrs. Colby isn't in any condition for visitors.
Alexis: Doctor, I'm her mother. May I see her?
Dr. B. Forrester: Oh, you can, of course, Mrs. Carrington. In the morning.

Krystle: What very special little girl is going to have her birthday when her daddy gets back?
Krystina: Me!
Krystle: That's right!
[laughs]
Krystle: And how old are you gonna be?
Krystina: Three!
[laughs]
Krystle: That's very good!
[laughs]
Krystle: And what are you gonna have for your birthday?
Krystina: A party, Mommy!
Krystle: Yes, that's right!
Jeanette: She scored a 100, Mrs.Carrington.
Krystle: [fondly] I'm not surprised.

Alexis: [Krystle walks in, carrying a rifle] Well now, you look as if you are armed for battle.
Krystle: I am.
Alexis: What? Is it your little niece? Is that it? Are you going to shoot my heart out because I sent her back to the boondocks where she belongs?

Fallon: [to Logan Rhinewood's henchman, Ray Bonning] Tell me something, Mr. Bonning. Your clothes are terribly Neiman Marcus. But who makes your shoulder holsters? Gucci?

Alexis: Come here, Adam, and sit down!
Adam: It's very late. You're still up. Plotting something, Mother?
Alexis: How dare you use that word to me!
Adam: Why not? We're both a bit Machiavellian at times. In fact, much of the time these days. One might say one has been learning one's craft from a master.

Andrew: Mr. Carrington, you have said that you love your son. There are those who will imply you do not. Now, Mr. Carrington, would you try to find it within yourself to reveal to us what a father feels at a time like that when you entered your son's room?
Blake: Well, may I say this? That night, when I walked into Steven's room, for a moment - an instant, really - I only remember seeing the room. Just the room itself. This room, some twenty-odd years before, that my son, my son was born, I carried him in for the first time, and I placed him in his crib in that room. I spent the night there watching my newborn son. In later years that room became crowded with memories. It also became crowded with toys that I bought Steven. It was a room where we talked together, where we wrestled together, where I helped my son with his homework. It was also a room where I once sat vigil when my son almost died at age five from pnuemonia. It was a room in a house I was going to give my son one day, in which I dreamed my son would grow up, and his son after that.
Andrew: Thank you, Mr. Carrington. I have no further questions, your honor.

Blake: Perhaps you'd like me to believe that Matthew Blaisdel should be some sort of charity of mine, that he lies somewhere between the Red Cross and Boys Town.

Steven: [in court fighting for his right to raise his son] I won't answer that. What he's asking in essence is if I'm guilty of being gay. Well, nobody, not my father's lawyer, not you, not anybody in this courtroom or outside of it has the right to ask this because there is no guilt in that issue. Everybody in this state and in this country has the right to live his own life the way he wants. Provided that he's a decent human-being, isn't a man entitled to raise his own child whether he's homosexual or not? I am and will always be Danny's father. And a good one no matter what my lifestyle is.

Sgt. John Zorelli: I'm not arguing, Fallon. I just don't know what the hell to do.
Fallon: You? What about me? I'm in your apartment, wearing your robe, listening to you complain about not being able to lock up my father.

Jeff: You know, I'm realy impressed.
Sammy: Oh, don't be. I've been playing frisbee since I was three.
Jeff: No, not with your frisbee, today at the auction, the way you handled yourself.
Sammy: Oh...
Jeff: No, I really mean that. I thought you were just fixing your earring or something and the next thing I know, we bought an Arabian horse.

Blake: [end lines, to Alexis] Oh, you can sleep in the master bedroom tonight. I'm having it disinfected tomorrow.

Sean: [on phone] Close doesn't make it, gentlemen. Close only counts in horseshoes and handgrenades. Not at ColbyCo.
[hangs up]

Jeff: [just woke up] What time is it?
Sammy: [standing in doorway] Almost eleven.
Jeff: You're kidding.
[beckons: ]
Jeff: Come here.
[she hesitates]
Jeff: I'd like to give you a kiss good morning.
Sammy: Jeff...
Jeff: Hey, last night was wonderful, and I don't feel I have to apologize for anything.
Sammy: I don't want you to. Jeff, can't you see? Neither one of us is good at one-night stands.
Jeff: [frowns] Is that what you thought last night was?
Sammy: Well, what else can I think? I mean, we're going home today, to our family. Our very close family.
Jeff: You're worried about Fallon?
Sammy: [climbing onto bed next to him, looking down into his eyes] Look, I don't wanna hurt anyone, and I don't wanna be hurt. And I still think of Fallon as my sister-in-law.
Jeff: Wait a minute. My love life with Fallon has been dormant for such a long time that I forgot what those feelings were. Until last night.
Sammy: But the family...
Jeff: Look, I don't wanna hurt anyone either. But I don't wanna lose what we found last night. Do you?
[she shakes her head, and they embrace, kiss]

Sgt. John Zorelli: [eating breakfast cereal in bed with Fallon] Ever worked a crossword puzzle? And then sometimes you get stuck on a big word right in the middle that about twenty other words hook up to it? Drives you crazy, right? Then all of a sudden, you figure it out, and the whole puzzle falls into place. It's fantastic. It's almost as good as, uh...
[Fallon smiles, would have giggled, but she's got a mouthful of crunchy cereal]
Sgt. John Zorelli: Okay, so maybe not that good.

Alexis: [upon learning Sable is pregnant] How sweet, maybe now we can all have the pick of her next litter.

Adam: [after Blake rushes off] You know how to clear a room, don't you?
Fallon: Drop dead!

Steven: So are you still a Josh Harris fan?
Sammy: [sighs] We've been through this already, Steven. If you're talking about the incident a couple weeks ago, it was just a friendly little pass.
Steven: It was more than a friendly little pass.
Sammy: [sighs] Steven, when you moved back here, we agreed, separate beds and separate rooms. That's the way it's been. But I was hoping we'd spend more time together. Maybe Josh is what I need. Currying horses every day doesn't exactly fill a woman's needs.
Steven: I'm sorry. I have been spending a lot of time with the team. But I will make it up to you. We'll spend more time together, I promise.

Father: [as Sammy Jo watches Tanner dance] Not bad for a man of the cloth, is he?
[she sighs]
Father: Priests aren't that different from anyone else. In most respects.
Sammy: [still reeling after her discovery of Tanner's calling] Isn't it unusual for a priest to take a year off?
Father: You have to realize what a year off means in our line of work. Even though Tanner is living and working in the secular world, he's still a priest. The vows are still sacred.
Sammy: I see.
[hopefully: ]
Sammy: And... some men who take this leave, decide to leave the priesthood?
Father: Some do. It isn't easy for a man to turn a deaf ear to his calling. Of course the church doesn't give up easily, either.
[Sammy Jo nods, little bit daunted]

Claudia: Steven loves his father, Alexis. And he loves you, too - very much. And that's the way it should be. But if you can't accept an equal display of affection from Steven to both of his parents, that's your problem. Please don't try and make it mine.

Fallon: And who the hell are you to question me anyway?
Jeff: Your husband, babe. Obviously, the last guy on the list.

Fallon: How could she hate a man like you? A wonderful man like you?
Blake: [dryly] Hm, hard to fathom, isn't it?

Steven: [to Jeff] You've messed up my sisters life, I am not gonna let you do that to Sammy Jo!

Alexis: [scoffs at Blake] Governor! You can't even run your own family, let alone Colorado!

Steven: [to Fallon, about her relationship with Jeff] I mean he's a great guy, but if there aren't any lines on the pad, he gets very nervous. And you have always colored outside the lines.

Alexis: Get your hands off me, Steven. I'm your mother, not that trollop you married. Take it off.

Adam: I know I never met Steven. But I'd liked to have met him. Growing up alone the way I did, I'd have given a lot for a kid brother. And a sister. It must be a special kind of friendship.
Fallon: Steven was very special to me. He's the only one who understood how my head worked. And my heart.
Adam: I know I could never take his place, and I'm not asking for that. Just a chance to be your brother.
Fallon: I don't know, Adam. Right now, it's just a little too painful to think about.
Adam: But in time?
Fallon: We'll see.

Fallon: How paranoid can we get?
Jeff: Very, when we're dealing with a Fallon.

Alexis: [after having someone break up a fight between Jeff and Adam] Will someone please tell me what this is all about?
Jeff: I'll tell you what it's about! That reptile which you call a son has accused Monica and me of incest!
Alexis: What?
Jeff: That's right.
Alexis: That's not possible.
Monica: Ask him!
Alexis: I mean it's just not possible for there to have been incest between Monica and Jeff.
Sable: Alexis!
Alexis: What, you haven't told her?
Sable: Don't you dare!
Alexis: That's unspeakably cruel of you!
Sable: Out of bounds, Alexis!
Alexis: Monica and Jeff are not brother and sister.
Monica: What?
Alexis: I'm sorry to have to tell you this, Monica, but Jason Colby isn't your father.
Sable: How dare you?

Sammy: You are being too hard on yourself. You deserve more than that.
Josh: [cups her face tenderly] Do I deserve you?
Sammy: Josh...
Josh: Sammy Jo, that's why I came here. I wanna show I can come through when it counts. For us, for you and me.
Sammy: Please, Josh, you know that Steven and I have...
Josh: ...an arrangement. I know. So that counts me out.
[scoffs]
Josh: Good old Steven. On my back, on and off the field. Well, you stick to your agreement, Sammy Jo. You see what good it does you when you reach out on a cold night.

Fallon: [tearfully] Daddy kept warning me I was betraying him. And I kept telling him I knew what I was doing.
Sammy: Did you tell him about this?
Fallon: I tried.
Sammy: Well, keep trying.
Fallon: I can't.
[sobs]
Sammy: [comforting her] Oh. You know, you really are something. You've got a live guy you can't stay with, and a dead guy you can't stay away from.
[Fallon sobs]
Sammy: It's okay.

Blake: And I'm not to consort with any known criminal types.
Andrew: Well, that alone will cut on half your business and social lives.
Blake: Not funny, Andrew, not funny at all .

Krystina: [comes running up] Daddy...!
Blake: Hello, darling.
[kneels down, kisses her]
Krystina: [shaking her little head] She didn't come back, did she?
Blake: [shakes his head] No. She didn't come back, darling.
[fighting against tears, the little girl blinks]

Krystle: [phone rang while she was talking to Dex] Hello?
Jeanette: Hello, Mrs Carrington? It's Jeanette.
Krystle: Jeanette? Is everything all right?
Jeanette: Oh, yes, yes, everything's fine. I'm going to put Krystina on. She's very anxious to talk to you.
[Krystle makes appreciative sound]
Krystina: [taking over from Jeanette] Mommy!
Krystle: Hello, my darling. How are you?
Krystina: I miss you and Daddy, when are you coming home?
Krystle: Soon. Soon, sweetheart, very soon.
Krystina: Promise?
Krystle: Yes, I promise. Now, you be a good girl, and you mind Jeanette. Daddy and I send you a big hug and a kiss.
[Krystina looks happy]
Krystle: Bye-bye. Now put Jeanette back on the phone.
Jeanette: [taking over again] Ah. She's, she's fine, Mrs Carrington. She just misses the both of you very much.
Krystle: Oh, oh, I miss her. You take care of my angel.
Jeanette: Oh, I will, don't worry. Bye-bye.
Krystle: Bye.
[replaces receiver]
Dex: Do we go home?
Krystle: [sighs] Just give it a little more time, Dex. I can't go home yet.

Sammy: [in hospital] There is no baby, Steven. I wasn't pregnant. I said I was because I thought I was, but I found out it was all in my mind. You believe me, don't you?
Steven: Yeah, I believe you. I know how much you wanted that baby, how much it meant to you. And to Clay. He must be very disappointed.
Sammy: No. He was more like angry. He thought I was lying about being pregnant so that he'd have to marry me.
Steven: Try to understand what he was feeling... at the time. He wanted the baby, right?
Sammy: He sure did.
Steven: Well, try to understand how hurt he must have felt.
Sammy: Whatever he was feeling,
[little sigh]
Sammy: he walked out of here like I put a knife in him.
Steven: [he takes her by the hand, shares her pain] It's all right. It's gonna be all right. It's funny, we've, uhm, had our problems, bad ones, but... somehow, I think... we still relate.
Sammy: [smiling happily] It's a good feeling.
Steven: I'd better get back.
Sammy: Steven? Will you give Danny lots of hugs and kisses for me? And tell him as soon as I get out of here, I'll come and see him.
Steven: I will.
Sammy: And, Steven, I hope you hear some good news about Blake and Alexis real soon.
Steven: Yeah, me too. Thanks. Bye.
[she is all bright-eyed as he leaves]

Sgt. John Zorelli: [after they were seen by his colleagues] You know, this pizza is just warm.
Fallon: Next time, I'll bring a microwave.
Sgt. John Zorelli: I know a place where we can heat it up.
Fallon: [looks at him intently, considers possibilities] Get in your car. I'll follow you.

Krystle: Sorry guys, but tennis is a blood sport around here. People have been executed for missing a backhand.

Dr. Nick Toscanni: [Fallon has misinterpreted a call from Krystle to Nick] Mrs. Carrington is a patient of mine.
Fallon: Is she really?
Dr. Nick Toscanni: Yes, and you're not entitled to know even that much. Now get the hell out of here, Fallon, and don't you ever pull the jealousy bit with me again. Your father's lived with it since he married Krystle; that's his problem. But I don't have to take it from you - *especially* not from you. Is that clear?

Fallon: You really work hard at driving people away. Dana never meant to hurt you. If you don't stop blaming her, you'll lose her too.
Adam: I have no intention of losing Dana. I need her. At least for the time being.
[takes another sip of wine]
Fallon: What the hell is that supposed to mean?
Dana: [entering] Adam?
Adam: Ah! Now isn't this just perfect? The star of the little family drama has arrived.
[mockingly toasts her with his glass]
Adam: Missed you in court today, Dana!
[takes another sip]
Dana: We need to talk.
Adam: [swallows wine] Mm.
[nods with inebriated enthusiasm]
Adam: Go on!
Dana: No, not here.
Adam: We have no secrets in this family, do we, Fallon?
Fallon: [disgusted by his manner] You sure have a way with words.
[tries to leave]
Adam: No, no, no, stay! This should be good for a few laughs.
[brusquely: ]
Adam: Go on, Dana. Tell me how sorry you are.
Dana: I'll see you upstairs.
[turns, leaves]
Adam: [as she goes upstairs] Tell me how disappointed you are.
[no response]
Adam: Tell me you love me!
Fallon: Well, you're right. She has to stay now. Tell me, who can resist that kind of charm?

Sammy: I guess you're gonna find out sooner or later. Jeff is buying into Delta Rho.
Steven: I don't believe it!
Sammy: It was a fair offer, and the bank was advising me to sell off.
Steven: Why didn't you come to me?
Sammy: Because I knew you'd wanna help.
Steven: This doesn't make any sense!
Sammy: Look, I know you won't understand, but the last thing I wanted to do was use you...
Steven: Use me?
Sammy: Well, maybe that's the wrong word. Look, we're no longer married, and I don't want to be dependent on you anymore. I'll never find myself that way.
Steven: But you will with Jeff.
[eyes narrow]
Steven: Is there more than money changing hands between you two?
Sammy: [angrily] I won't dignify that with an answer. Please leave.

Adam: If there's any message you'd like me to deliver to Lady Ashley in Paris, if I happen to be in the neighborhood, I'm willing to please.
Alexis: Any message from me to the lady would only cause you huge embarrassment.
Adam: Mother, I don't embarrass easily.
Alexis: I could change that in seconds.

Alexis: How about dinner tonight, in my hotel?
Mark: I'm not hungry. In fact, Mrs. Colby, when it comes to you, I'm on a diet.

Michael: [manning the bar] Freshen that up for you, Mr. Colby?
Jeff: Hm? No, no, no, thanks, Michael. Two's my limit.
Fallon: Oh, what happens to you if you have three? Do you turn back into a pumpkin?

Jehovah's: Good afternoon. Do you know where you'll be spending eternity?
Claudia: I'm sorry, I don't have the time right now.
Jehovah's: How do you know you won't be going to hell?
Claudia: Because I've already been there.

Alexis: [Discussing Jeff] Don't you have any regrets about what you've done to him?
Adam: Honest answer? No. None.

Blake: [speaking through police bullhorn] I beg you as I've never begged any man for anything: please let my family go.

Claudia: Goodbye to you, sweet house, take care. Be sweet to all of my kind friends, who sadly won't be able to join me.

Krystina: That's my medicine.
Sarah: Yes.
[pockets the bottles]
Sarah: It's cold out today. I want you to put this on. Here, put on your coat.
Krystina: Are we going out?
Sarah: Yes. It's time for your walk. You like the walks we take, don't you?
Krystina: Yes. Yes. Can I bring Raggedy Ann?
Sarah: Of course you can.
Krystina: Is Mommy coming?
Sarah: Yes, just as soon as she gets off the phone.

Sammy: Come on, Jeffrey, be a sport.
Jeff: Sport? You ask me to take you to a... a formal charity event that ends up being a sock hop for kids, and you've already got a date!
Sammy: Tanner is not my date. Why don't you call Monica?
Jeff: Monica?
Sammy: Your sister, remember? We could all go together.
Jeff: You really think this is funny, don't you?
Sammy: No, I think you are funny.
[knock on door, sure to be Tanner]
Sammy: Will you get that? And be nice.
Jeff: [goes off to door, mumbling:] "Be nice."

Claudia: [about their relationship] It's lousy, Matthew! It's got all the flash and fire of two snails mating.
Matthew: Snails are hermaphroditic. They mate by themselves.
Claudia: I'm beginning to understand why.

Sammy: In case you've forgotten, Danny is my son.
Alexis: Yes, I know, poor little thing, that's a cross he will just have to bear.
[disdainfully rising from chair in front of her dressing table to just walk away]
Alexis: Excuse me.
Sammy: I can't really blame Steven for moving out on you and taking Danny. At least I know you won't be able to contaminate my child with your conniving and your lying and your dirty ways.
Alexis: [laughs] "Dirt" seems to be the big word in your vocabulary, Sammy Jo. You grew up on the road with racing cars and dirt. You modeled for all those dirty magazines.
[with: ]
Alexis: You're covered in it.
Sammy: [defiantly] If that were true, all I would need is a bath. But with your track record, Alexis, what you need to do is stand naked in a rainstorm for a week.
Alexis: [scoffs] You trashy little tramp!
[aims a slap, but Sammy Jo grabs her hand, and the two of them glare at each other fiercely]

Phoenix: My grandfather never jumped out of a window! I know that!
Blake: I don't believe that he did, either. And if I killed him, would I be here now?

Sammy: Oh, I'll get him back. Just wait and see.
Alexis: Oh no, you won't. Because I happen to be a woman who has considerable influence with certain officials, and I will see to it that their door is slammed in your ice-cream-parlor face once and for all.
[leaves]

Krystle: [finds Sammy Jo doing high energy workout, chuckles] Are you training for the Olympics?
Sammy: [snickers as she continues exercising] Hi. I'm just keeping in shape.
Krystle: Well, how about taking a break for lunch?
Sammy: [continues] No, I've got things to do around here.
Krystle: Come on, I hardly ever see you anymore.
Sammy: I'm just not in the mood right now.
[continues exercises]
Krystle: How are things working out between you and Steven?
Sammy: [exercising continues] Fine.
Krystle: Sammy Jo, would you stop that for a moment, please?
[the girl sighs, and sits upright]
Krystle: I know how much you love Steven, but are you sure you can continue like this?
Sammy: If that's what it takes to keep my family together.
Krystle: Sammy Jo, you can't deny your... your feelings, your needs, it just won't work. You're so young and so vital, and I don't wanna see you...
Sammy: What?
[gets up, switches off tape recorder]
Sammy: Sneaking around with a bunch of one-night stands?
Krystle: You know I didn't mean that. I'm just concerned.
Sammy: I appreciate your concern, but I can handle it. I've got other things in my life. Danny, the ranch.
Krystle: Your exercises.
Sammy: Yeah, that helps too.
Krystle: But it doesn't take the place of the kind of intimacy between a man and a woman. That's what worries me.
Sammy: Don't worry. I'm not gonna do anything crazy. The truth is, when it comes to available men, I don't even know any. I'm fine, really.
[but her aunt is not convinced]

Steven: Nobody rips me off anymore. I run my own life the way I want to. Your kid brother's not a kid anymore, Fallon.

Alexis: You are so amazingly vindictive. Did you really buy this entire hotel just to evict me?
Sable: Of course not, darling. Getting rid of you is just part of the UPgrading process.

Cora: [Krystle visits Cora Van Husen's brothel] I'll say this for you, you sure got guts coming to see me.
Krystle: I'm trying to help my husband.
Cora: We help a lot of husbands in here.

Dr. Nick Toscanni: [on a pay phone] Before I left town, I told you what to do. Now you go get what I want and bring it to my house and keep your mouth shut!
[he slams down the receiver and walks to his vehicle and gets in... Krystle happens upon him]
Krystle: Nick! Nick!
[she sees his black eye]
Krystle: You're hurt, what happened to you?
Dr. Nick Toscanni: I took a fall.
[smiles]
Dr. Nick Toscanni: I'm not as good a rider as I thought I was, I guess.
Krystle: Did you see Blake?
Dr. Nick Toscanni: No, I didn't. I looked for him, but I couldn't find him, Krystle.
Krystle: I talked to him... he knew you were coming.
Dr. Nick Toscanni: Yes, well it's a big mountain.
Krystle: Well, I don't see how you could have missed him.
[beat]
Krystle: Do you think something happened to him?
Dr. Nick Toscanni: [starts engine] Goodbye, Krystle.
[drives off]

Fallon: [about Blake] He'd sell me into the harem of a sheik for three barrels of crude and a box of cigars.

Steven: [as Sammy Jo goes over to the couch] I offered him help. He was kidding himself.
Sammy: Kidding himself. I've been doing the same thing.
Steven: [gets up, comes nearer] What do you mean?
Sammy: I mean that I can't live like this anymore. And it took Josh's death to make me realize that.
Steven: What happened to Josh has nothing to do with us.
Sammy: Steven, don't you understand? I didn't love Josh. I... I just need some... I need someone to love me, and to hold me and to make love to me.
Steven: I never misled you.
Sammy: No. I misled myself.
[sighs]
Sammy: I thought I could accept your terms. But I can't. I don't wanna feel guilty about it.
[shakes her head]
Steven: I understand. Maybe I should move out.
Sammy: [as he prepares to leave] Steven. I tried.

Sammy: Would it be such a terrible thing if I didn't tell Clay?
Krystle: [little sigh] What? That you thought you were pregnant, but you found out that you aren't? Sammy Jo, he'll understand.
Sammy: But what if he doesn't? Maybe I can keep trying to conceive, and he'll never find out.
Krystle: [wisely] You can't base your relationship on lies.
Sammy: But I love him. And I don't want him to think that I trapped him into marrying me.

Alexis: Oh, I heard there was a photograph of me at a ball in the Chronicle, didn't you see it?
Joseph: No, I didn't.
Alexis: Oh, don't tell me you stopped keeping a scrap book on my adventures, Joseph. How disappointing!

Alexis: Well, I want you to know I forgive you, Krystle; particularly for that little contretemps in my studio.
Krystle: In my world, we call that a fight - a good dirty, no holds-barred cat fight.

Walter: You're too young to drive. You're only 14, going on 8!
Lindsay: [tearful] You taught me.
Walter: Maybe that was my mistake.

Blake: You look more beautiful than ever.
Alexis: Wouldn't you like to take a closer look?

Father: [kick-starts motorcycle] You got your hair cut. It looks nice.
Sammy: Thanks.
[they go off]

Blake: I don't give a damn if this house is in your name. I'll burn it to the ground if I have to - with you in it.

Fallon: Jeff, why is Sammy Jo here? I thought this was a business affair.
Jeff: Excuse me, Fallon. I have somebody *interesting* to talk to.

Dr. Jordan: [Discussing Matthew] Have you talked about it with him? Given him a chance to at least defend himself?
Claudia: No, I haven't. I don't have to, because in my heart, I know he loves her. Not me.

Morgan: You know, every time I get involved with you I end up with nothing but trouble.
Alexis: You also end up with money, lots and lots of money.

Sammy: At first I thought she was showing off or something, but now I think it might be a permanent defect.
Fallon: Like Adam.
[smiles]
Adam: Speaking of defects, I'm not the one who's telling a detective one thing, and the family something else.
Fallon: Since you obviously don't know what you're talking about, excuse me if I don't take offense.
Sammy: Would you two knock it off? Don't you get tired of sniping at each other all the time?
Adam: I don't.
Fallon: Adam's dull wit needs all the sharpening it can get.
Sammy: Ugh!
[storms off]
Fallon: What's her problem?
Adam: Cinderella complex. She had to leave before she turns into a bumpkin.
[impressed by his own wit]
Adam: Gotcha.
[goes off, she's irritated]

Kirby: You still want to marry me even though you know I don't love you.
Adam: You will. I'll promise. Whatever it takes. How ever long it takes, you're going to love me as much as I love you.

Alexis: [as Sable is being restrained from attacking her] Look at her. She's like a rabid bitch.

Sammy: Are you staying here at the house?
Steven: No, I'm back at my apartment. I... I haven't made any plans yet... about anything.
Sammy: Hmm.
Steven: How's Danny?
Sammy: Well, he heard me talking on the phone about Krystina and he started to cry. I think that was the final straw. He still doesn't know why you left.
Steven: I tried to explain.
Sammy: I know. But he thinks it's all his fault.
Steven: I'll have another talk with him. Thanks for telling me about this.

Matthew: Well, do you think it's clever to come in here, soak up Carrington's booze, and then let these guys try and go into our pocket? Do ya?
Walter: Now if you think I'm drunk, then you're no brighter than they are in there. I let them think that I'm drunk just so they can try to slip me a cold deck. Meanwhile we're getting a good look at their cards. And we're gonna hit 'em with a handful of aces when they reach for the pot. Now, that's the way the game's played.
Matthew: Well, I'm sorry, Walter. I don't play games.
Walter: Then you better go back to that school of geology, let 'em examine the rocks in your head, because if you don't play the game and play it well, then they're gonna eat you up, that bunch in there. You remember that.

Sammy: Steven, I just don't wanna be alone tonight.
Steven: [selecting clothes for trip] I'll be back before you know it. Really.
Sammy: [disappointed] Of course.

Alexis: How do you think I could kill a baby after what happened to our baby - Adam.
Blake: We swore never to talk about that.
Alexis: I can't. I'll never get over his loss.

Sgt. John Zorelli: [in her car] You can't stay away from me, can you?
Fallon: How would you like that warm pizza in your face?
Sgt. John Zorelli: That's not exactly what I had in mind.

Sammy: Get dressed and go, Clay. You and I are both very rich. The only difference is I'm not idle.

Fallon: I'll tell you something, something I've begun to think and to feel. You're the guilty one. You're as guilty as anyone else of Ted Dinard's death. You allowed him into your father's house. You practically invited him to die. Your friend, your lover. Your dead lover!

Blake: The only thing that makes me more nervous than Alexis on a rampage is Alexis on a goodwill mission.

Virginia: Keep your hands off me!
[tosses her drink onto Dexter's jacket]
Virginia: Who the hell do you think you are?
[leaves]
Sable: Good Lord.
Fallon: [smiling] There are a million stories in the big city.
Adam: And I, for one, can't wait to get to the next chapter.

Amos: Now we might be rabble and dregs, but your old man is the biggest crook who ever lived.
Steven: My father is not a crook.
Walter: You better go on home now, son.
Steven: He never walked off on the job. He never let down his friends in a jam.

Claudia: Ed, look, you came here to tell me something, so why don't you just tell me, alright?
Ed: Well, uh, all the time you were in that place, y'know, your fair-haired Matthew Blaisdel was foolin' around with another woman. I mean, everyone knew about it. And I just figured you had a perfect right to know, too.
Claudia: You're a fine credit to the human race, Ed. You really deserve a medal. What woman?
Ed: Oh, well, uh, maybe I said too much...
Claudia: What woman, Ed?
Ed: Well, the one that is married to Blake Carrington, name of Krystle.
[Claudia turns away, shuddering, emotionally shook]
Ed: You all right, Mrs. Blaisdel?
Claudia: Get the hell out of here, Ed.

Blake: Y'know, there's something I want from you too, just as seriously. I want a child by you. And soon, very soon. Because, you know, neither one of us is getting any younger.
Krystle: And I want to give you a child. But do you suppose we could just hang in there until after the Spanish omelette?

Krystle: There's something about you that makes me feel...
Dr. Nick Toscanni: Frightened?
Krystle: Uneasy.

Sable: She's not my daughter - at least, not today, she isn't.

Alexis: Look, I can either sing for him or sleep with him. What's your choice?

Alexis: [to Dex] If you're feeling dirty, Sable is one flight down.

Jeff: You know something, Adam? If your morals were a fraction better than the Borgias', I might take what you're saying seriously, but knowing who you are and what you are, I don't even hear you.

Dex: I was there for you, Sable, I was there. I gave you a big shoulder to cry on.
Alexis: You gave her more than that.
Sable: Whatever you saw in that malignancy, I'll never know.

Fallon: The rich are different, Krystle. Don't make any mistake about that. You see, the poor cut back in hard times. That's why they're poor. The rich know that's the time to spend. The game is called "Million Dollar Spit in the Ocean."
Krystle: And you're gonna tell me the rules, right?
Fallon: The rules are easy. Every card comes down and dirty, and a strong bluff is worth more than a full house aces high.

Fallon: Daddy said I'd betray him, and I did.
Sammy: Go over there and show this to him. It's not gonna be pleasant, but you've gotta do it. Before he finds out on his own.
Fallon: [nods] First thing tomorrow.
Sammy: Good.

Jeff: Well, there's a chance he could lose Denver-Carrington. That means I'd lose my share.
Fallon: And I could lose La Mirage. So, we'll all be losers for a while. We'll just have to live off Mom.

Constance: I shared your life, and now I'm sharing your death.

Steven: Well, you know what Oscar Wilde said: "Work is the curse of the drinking classes".
[holds up his glass]
Jeff: Clever man, Oscar Wilde, shame he was a homosexual.

Amanda: [spotting Sammy Jo leaving with Danny] Does Steven know that you are taking him out of the house?
Sammy: [kneeling down to speak to Danny, obviously very much annoyed by Amanda] Danny, love, why don't you go onto the kitchen and ask Mrs. Gunnerson for some milk and cookies? I'll meet you in here, okay?
Danny: Okay mommy.
Sammy: All right.
[rises to face Amanda, a glint in her eyes]
Sammy: Afraid I'll kidnap him, Amanda?
Amanda: It's happened before.
Sammy: Look, I'm taking my son for a walk, that's all.
Amanda: Well then, why don't I call Steven and ask him if it's all right?
Sammy: Well, what do we have here? Trying to fill Fallon's shoes as the young witch of the house, Amanda? No wonder your marriage is in trouble. You're so busy holding on to your broomstick that you can't even hold on to your own husband.

[last lines]
Blake: [to Krystle] I swear to you that after tomorrow if I'm freed, I'll be different.
[walks to the door, then to himself]
Blake: "If I'm freed." My God.

Krystle: Sammy Jo, he will understand.
[kisses her, leaves, leaving Sammy Jo standing there still doubtful]

Cecil: Too bad you had to cut your honeymoon short because of your overseas fiasco.
Blake: Not a fiasco, Cecil, minor setback at worst.
Cecil: Blake, you can tell the other fellas in the room that, maybe they'll believe you, but you and I, we go back to the Ice Age.

Adam: We've reached a great, a very great moment in ColbyCo's future. Do you want to tell her, Jeff?
Alexis: What do you want to tell me, Jeff?
Jeff: I signed over my son's shares of Denver-Carrington to ColbyCo.
Adam: Thus giving ColbyCo control over Blake's company. And this should please you even more, Mother. Because Jeff needs a vacation, he's agreed to sign over his own voting control in ColbyCo to you.

Steven: [to Claudia] I've loved two people. Ted and you. I've cost him his life. I've destroyed yours.

Blake: Well, lets look at it this way: if that bullet was meant for me, then she saved my life. But she's still got one hell of a fight on her hands, I'll tell you. A fight that I intend to win.

Alexis: [seeing Amanda with Prince Michael] One Christmas, when she was a little girl, she asked Santa Claus for a country. I wonder if he's about to deliver.

King: From the day I moved in here, I've been nothing but trouble for you. I tried to stay in the background, and your husband drew wrong conclusions anyway. And frankly, in his position, I would probably feel the same way.
Alexis: Dex's pride has been hurt, that's all. He'll go away, he'll drink too much, he'll sulk a little bit, and then he'll come back. He always comes back.

Dex: Hamilton Stone's leaving for Africa tomorrow. I'm sure you've found a way to invite yourself along.
Alexis: Oh, aren't you the clever little thing? You don't mind, do you?
Dex: Of course not. We have an open divorce.

Fallon: Sammy Jo was common trash. Everybody knows it.
Steven: Common trash? And what are you Fallon? *Uncommon* trash? A million dollar tramp?

Alexis: Hello, Sammy Jo. Well, I'm afraid that your maid let me in because I lied and said that I was a friend of yours.
Sammy: [distracted from selecting a painting for her den] Oh well, that's a very big lie. What are you doing here?
Alexis: I hear that you spent the other night at Steven's apartment.
Sammy: Where I spend my nights is none of your business.
Alexis: Oh, but Steven and Danny are. Now, I don't want to see them hurt, Sammy Jo, and you have a way of, uh, as you would say, screwing up people's lives. So you'd better stay away from theirs.
Sammy: You have nothing to worry about, Alexis.
[more interested in studying the painting]
Alexis: Hmm, Steven obviously believes that, but I don't. That, uh, work of art you're examining, are you thinking of buying it?
Sammy: I have an option to buy, but I haven't made up my mind.
Alexis: Really? You know, I saw something like that recently.
Sammy: Where?
Alexis: [most patronizingly] In a flea market in Singapore.

Alexis: I don't care whether your relationship with Dex is personal or professional, Dex is mine, in the boardroom and in the bedroom.
Lady: Bought and paid for, Alexis?
Alexis: I've never had to pay for it, Ashley. Have you?

Jeff: [from the back-seat, her bare arched foot comes snaking past his cheek, and mild-mannered as he is...] Ah!
[Fallon giggles, and he waits patiently for that to subside]
Jeff: What are you doing here?
Fallon: I'm sorry. It was the only way I could think of getting you alone.
Jeff: Fallon, don't you remember that little piece of paper we signed a while ago?
[slams his hand down on the seat]
Jeff: We're divorced!

Sammy: [entering living room] Steven. What are you doing?
Steven: [moody] Thinking.
Sammy: Want some company?
Steven: No.
[realizing he's being callous, looks around at her]
Steven: Thank you.
Sammy: It's late. Why don't you come to bed?
Steven: Look, I... I really need a little bit of time to myself.
Sammy: I was just trying to help.
Steven: [impatiently] I'm not an invalid.
Sammy: I didn't say you were.
Steven: [bursting out] But you act like it. You're so damn careful not to say the wrong thing, or make the wrong move.
Sammy: Well, with you, every move I make is the wrong move.
[this doesn't please him]
Sammy: I'm sorry, I didn't mean that.
Steven: Then what did you mean?
Sammy: [sighs] Look, we're both tired, why don't we just talk about it in the morning?
Steven: Nothing's gonna change in the morning, Sammy Jo. You've got to face it. You've got to accept it. I cannot be something I'm not. I cannot change who I am.
Sammy: [as he goes off] Steven! Steven!
[no use, sighs]

Blake: When are you gonna let me know which job you're gonna take?
Steven: I already have a job. But not with your company.
Blake: Oh. Who's it with?
Steven: You're not gonna like it.
Blake: Let me be the judge.
Steven: I'm working for Matthew Blaisdel.
Blake: You're right. I don't like it.

Alexis: Oh no, you're jealous because Fallon has had her baby and that has made you even more paranoid. Well, I didn't cause your accident, Krystle. Just as I did not cause you barrenness.

Adam: Steven: he's moody, unpredictable, but his feelings run deep, and he's kind. Dex...
Amanda: He's conceited, hot-tempered, he acts before he thinks. He's insensitive...
Adam: Yes, well, it's clear that you know Dex.

Blake: I did not premeditatedly kill Ted Dinard, I retained you to prove that. I expect you to do it.
Andrew: And if I don't? If I can't?
Blake: 'Don't' and 'can't' are not in my vocabulary. You'll do it.

Blake: My son is in love with a man... my daughter is in love with sex. She's probably still sleeping with every player on my football team.

Alexis: [finding Dominique and Dex in embrace, to Dex] Well,
[nods furiously]
Alexis: I always knew where you kept your conscience. But, Dominique...
[vitriolic: ]
Alexis: from lounge lizard to trailer tramp. Now I have seen everything.
[seething, tossing the documents she brought for Dex to sign, whirls around, leaves]

Jake: You're a very complicated woman, Mrs. Carrington, do you know that?
Alexis: That's been said of me a few times. In a few languages.

Dex: The last time you glowed like that, I provided the electricity.
Alexis: Your memory flatters you, Dex.

Matthew: [to Leslie] Love's an easy word around here. What they love is money and power. Now what I'm asking is, what have they given you in terms of those? My guess is nothing.

Blake: You know something? I welcome the chance to get back to the problems on my desk. At least I can solve those, unlike the one with Jeff. Jeff. In a matter of months, I seem to have lost two sons.

Fallon: What do I turn you off now that I am pregnant?
Jeff: No.
Fallon: What's the matter then?
Jeff: You're not doing this for me, you're doing this for Blake because I saved his life. And you figure you owe me something every once in a while... Why don't you call your boyfriend unless he is suddenly turned off by a pregnant Mrs. Colby.

Alexis: Well, l've turned down your very generous offer before, and l'm gonna turn it down again.
Blake: l'm not here to borrow, l'm here to sell, Alexis.
Alexis: l'd like to talk to you about a certain shale oil extraction process that my company owns. Shale oil? Why should l bother with that?
Blake: Because l know that your company has 1 50,OOO acres of shale oil leases that are unproductive and useless without my process. And l would consider selling it, if you were interested in making an offer.
Alexis: You're so terribly out of touch, Blake. So terribly misguided in your thinking my company can afford to plant daisies in that acreage. So l'm afraid that my offer for your process is zero.
Blake: Don't you ty to bluff me, Alexis.
Alexis: l don't have to bluff you, Blake. Gone are the days when you were king of my fate, when you exiled me from my children and threw me out of Denver.
Blake: And l had a damn good reason for doing it, and you know it.
Alexis: Good reason? You're at somebody else's mercy now. You're finally getting a taste of your own medicine. And when it becomes too bitter for you, when you start to cough and choke on it, then you'll be back to accept the only offer that l'm ever going to make.

Dr. Nick Toscanni: In the beginning, maybe there was...
Krystle: There was what?
Dr. Nick Toscanni: I don't know, some such notion...
Krystle: Notion? You call trying to seduce a man's wife a notion? What kind of a man are you?

Leslie: No problem, you know, it probably wouldn't have worked, I mean I never could stand anybody who didn't squeeze the toothpaste from the middle. Bye Jeff, I won't bother you again.

Sammy: [coming towards him] Steven! I was expecting Clay. Is something wrong with Danny?
Steven: No, no, no, he's fine. Listen, Sammy Jo, I've been doing a lot of thinking. I'm happy having Danny with me at the apartment, but he needs more family.
Sammy: Oh, are you thinking about moving back to the mansion?
Steven: No, I was thinking about his immediate family. His mother, you.
[she blinks]
Steven: With you having a baby and knowing how much he loves it out here, I'd like you to see more of him.
Sammy: [happily] You really mean that, don't you?
Steven: Yeah.
[laughs]
Steven: Surprised, huh?
Sammy: Uh, except about the baby...
Steven: What?
Sammy: Well, it isn't due right away, so we're not exactly a family yet.
Steven: Well, you will be soon.
Sammy: [nods, smiles graciously] You know I've wanted Danny here.
Steven: All right... then it's settled.
Sammy: Thank you, Steven.
[he leaves, and she ponders her predicament]

Jeff: [on phone] Oh, come on. I'll bet you're sitting by the pool soaking up that good California sunshine.
Sammy: [laughs] I wish. As a matter of fact, I'm in my room getting ready to leave for another auction.
Jeff: Good! I'm expecting you to bring back some champions to our stable.
Sammy: Jeff...
Jeff: Yeah?
Sammy: Why did you really call me?
Jeff: I don't know, I guess I wanted to hear a nice friendly voice.
[scoffs]
Jeff: Actually, I got the divorce papers today. It's official with Fallon and, uh...
Sammy: And you're feeling a little empty? Look, if you want me to fly back...
Jeff: No, no, no. I... I might wanna call you later on if that's all right.
Sammy: Any time. And if you don't call me, I'll call you. How about that?
Jeff: You got a deal.
Sammy: Bye.
Jeff: Bye.

Sammy: [in the dark, as Jeff climbs into bed...] Jeff!
[was under the covers]
Jeff: Sammy Jo, what the hell are you doing here?
Sammy: Waiting for you. I've been here for five hours. Where have you been?
Jeff: What, did we have an appointment?
Sammy: Come on, get into bed.
[goes for his shirt buttons]
Jeff: Wait a second. You're gonna pop my shirt buttons. Here, I'll do it.
Sammy: What were you doing till five in the morning anyway?
Jeff: What was I doing? What were you doing? I thought you were out with the priest.
[she looks at him icily]
Jeff: What happened, did he renounce his vows for you?

Alexis: Temper, temper. As my dear old auntie used to say, when you're angry, count to four. When you're really angry, swear! Go on, Krystle, swear. I'd adore to hear you say something colorful and foul.

Alexis: All I want to do is find my bed and lie down in it.
Rashid: I have a better idea. Why don't I show you where the bed is and lie there with you, yes?
Alexis: No. But, you can sit in a corner and watch me sleep if you like.

Sammy: [grabs phone as the 0-800 line for Krystina's donor heart rings] Hello? Yes, we're taking calls about the Carrington baby.
[listens, frowns, then slams down phone]
Ben: What's the matter, Sammy Jo?
Sammy: Some man. He said he could help me. And then he started using obscene language.

Krystle: Half the people in Denver have a motive for wanting to destroy Alexis.

Russ: You know, for a minute there, I thought they were going to give you a standing ovation.
Alexis: I'm rather surprised they didn't.

Karen: What kind of deal pays that much money, and in cash?
Jesse: It's perfectly legal, don't worry. I got 50.000 now and 50.000 after.
Karen: After what? What do you have to do?
Jesse: Nothing.
Karen: You're getting paid a 100.000 dollars for doing nothing?

Dr. Jonas Edwards: You're not well, boy, are you?
Adam: I'm very well.
Dr. Jonas Edwards: Those eyes are just a little too bright. And there's that tautness in you. Do your parents know what happened to you?
Adam: That a high school kid wanted to experiment once with a few assorted drugs? There's nothing to know. I saw the promised visions, it all passed, I got over it.
Dr. Jonas Edwards: So you haven't told them?
Adam: There was nothing to tell!
Dr. Jonas Edwards: Son, I nursed you for months. I went through the whole breakdown with you.
Adam: I never want to hear that word again!
Dr. Jonas Edwards: It's nothing to be ashamed of. But it's nothing to forget either. We don't know what those drugs might have done.
Adam: [escorting the doctor to and out the door] Dr. Edwards, I believe you have a plane to catch!

Josh: Look, what happened at the stables... I'm sorry.
Sammy: Me too.
Josh: It won't happen again. I like Steven, and I owe him.
Sammy: Forget it. It's history.

Dana: [retreating from their argument] Adam... I love you.
Adam: [getting hold of himself] And I love you. Maybe we can chalk this up as a lovers' quarrel? Besides, I really do have a hangover. It's a lousy excuse, I know, but it's the truth. Okay?
Dana: [uncertainly] Sure...
[closes the door]

Alexis: What kind of a monster are you?
Adam: I? I am Adam Carrington, son of Alexis Carrington Colby.

Krystle: Maybe the reason you find it so hard to believe my innocence is because you're guilty.

Blake: I know you, Matthew. We've been friends and we've been enemies, too. I know one thing about you, that you're honest. So you look me right in the eye and you tell me that you still don't think about Krystle every night and every day, day and night. You do that and I'll call off my dogs.

Krystle: Who is mistress of this house?
Jeanette: Well, you are, ma'am
Krystle: Thank you, Jeanette.

Fallon: Fast work, Zorelli, it's only been, what, two months?
Sgt. John Zorelli: Harmon Springs is a very small department. We don't have the resources or the manpower...
Fallon: [ironic] Well, you certainly know how to make a citizen feel protected.
Sgt. John Zorelli: Well, actually, we did stumble onto something very interesting.
Fallon: [mocking] I noticed you're pretty good at stumbling.

Alexis: Yes, do you know something. Sometimes, I think it might had been better had Steven gone on living the gay life. At least that would have been more honest.

Joseph: Mrs. Carrington, I don't like your tone of voice and I don't think that you're in any position to speak to me that way.
Krystle: What do you mean by that?
Joseph: You know what I mean. I belong here. You don't.

Blake: [picking up Krystina] There you are. We got a little something over here with your name on it. Just for you, for your birthday.
Krystina: [clearly a wooden pony] I know what it is!
Krystle: [smiling] How do you know that? You haven't even opened it.
Krystina: It's my very own pony, just like you promised!

Alexis: It's not going to end this way. I didn't fight this out to lose. I may have lost you now, but I'm not going to lose everything. Oh no. Oh no.

Krystle: You were brave in there with the doctor.
Krystina: I cried a little.
Krystle: Well, that's all right. It was scary. But it only hurt for a second.
Krystina: Are you brave when you see the doctor, Mommy?
Krystle: I try to be.
Krystina: I bet you are. I wanna be just like you when I grow up, Mommy.
[as: ]
Krystina: I got a shot and I hardly even cried
Jeanette: Good girl!
[laughs]

Steven: [on the subject of having moved out with Danny] Why aren't you more concerned with why I did it?
Sammy: All right, why?
Steven: Because with my father and Krystle moving out and my mother moving in, he's confused, Sammy Jo, very confused.
Sammy: Well, he wouldn't be confused at all if he were with me at Delta Rho.
Steven: Oh, that would be a great environment for him, a stud farm. He could learn about the facts of life. Watch the breeding process as demonstrated by you and Clay Fallmont.
Sammy: [catty] Well, at least he would see how it is done by straight people.
[hurting Steven, who turns away, as she clearly regrets]

Alexis: I really do love you.
Dex: If you do, it is the strangest kind of love I've ever known, and I'm not sure that I want any more of it.

Steven: You think I can't deal with a field manager when we survey this operation?
Adam: Look, if you'll just listen for a minute...
Steven: No, big brother, you listen to me. Have you ever worked on a rig? Ever been part of a crew when a well came in? Ever worked in a refinery? In fact, have you ever in your entire career at ColbyCo got an oil sludge under your fingernails?
Adam: No, I haven't.
Steven: Well, all your poring over law books, advising and consulting over drinks, won't do a damn thing for us once we're down on the ground checking out Johnson's operation. Just keep your mouth shut, Adam, and let me do the talking.
Adam: You know, you're not only a hard guy to get along with, you're an even harder guy to help.

Jeff: Oh, it's a temporary slump. Eliminating departments is not gonna help anything.
Adam: Well then, what do you suggest?
Fallon: [fluttering her eyelids] You can take an early retirement. That would save the company some money.
Adam: Do you work here?

Fallon: [as Sammy Jo's latest romantic interest, Tanner, goes off to phone] You'd better watch out.
Sammy: Well, I... I know what you're thinking, and you're wrong.
Fallon: Well, then you'd better see a doctor.
Sammy: About what?
Fallon: Shortness of breath. Flushed cheeks. Serious symptoms, Sammy Jo.
[Sammy Jo shakes her head, laughs merrily]

LB: I'm trying to be grown up. Can you help me, Grandpa?
Blake: Help you do what?
LB: Find a place to live.
Blake: Why would you want to live some other place?
LB: Because I did something bad. Now my mom and dad don't wanna be my mom and dad anymore.

Matthew: I wanna know what kind of man would let his son take the rap for something he didn't do? For something his own father set up?
Blake: Oh, that, huh?

Fallon: As it said in your invitations, the only condition for being here is that you get happy, because that is what La Mirage is all about. Just remember, the name of the game is pleasure, so 23 skidoo and grab it!
[gulps down a glass of champagne]

Krystle: [Joseph puts to bed the passed-out drunk Blake and exits] I've got to talk to you, Blake. Can you hear me?
[Krystle sits on the bed, sees Blake is passed out]
Krystle: Maybe it's just as well you can't. I've left you, Blake. I loved you the best I could. And I believe that you loved me... in your own way. But you frighten me. There are so many different people. Gentle and sensitive one minute, treacherous and brutal the next. Maybe you have to be that way to survive in your world. But I can't live with the suspicion. I can't live with the rage. I love you... but I can't live with you.

Jeff: By the way, have you met these folks? I mean, really met them? Cecil Colby, you know, of course. Been called an "unprincipled conglomerature."
Bethany: What's that?
Jeff: Oh, never mind. Oh, he's kind of proud of it though, anyway, and you know "pride goeth before destruction." Actually, he's a white slaver - buys and sells people. So you look out for him.
Bethany: Not Cecil?
Jeff: And this fellow over here, Andrew Laird. He's gotten a little thick around the middle, but would you believe he was once one of the most brilliant criminal attorneys in the Rocky Mountain states? He gave up his career to shuffle papers for Blake Carrington. Oh, at a a scandalous salary, of course! But then who am I to judge Andrew Laird... when I've been bought for a spoiled little girl's monkey on a string?
[Fallon stares daggers]
Jeff: It didn't even cost the price of a new polo pony. Blake Carrington I never did like very much. When I was a kid he scared the hell out of me. I sure wasn't real anxious to have him as a father-in-law. But tonight I got to confess, I feel sorry for him, because he's been bought, too, just like the rest of us. Or sold, depending on your point of view.
Blake: Are you quite finished, Jeff?
Jeff: Not quite. The one I think we really ought to drink to is Krystle. Now, she married into this emerald-studded zoo of ours without any preparation at all. And who knows what price she's gonna pay for it.
[raises his glass]
Jeff: To you, Krystle. Good luck, kid. You're gonna need it. Well, I'm done now. Oh, if there's anyone I haven't offended, please excuse me, but I promised this young lady the next dance.

Sammy: [brought champagne] Did you hear what I said?
Jeff: What?
Sammy: I said yes.
Jeff: Yes?
Sammy: Yes, I will marry you.
[Fallon peeks out from the bedroom]
Jeff: Marry me?
Sammy: We do belong together. I was afraid of it at first, but you were right.
Jeff: Oh, Sammy Jo, that's just great. I... I... don't know what to say.

Dex: And I told you I hadn't slept with any type after I met you.
Alexis: So what?
Dex: After I've fallen in love with you except I didn't know that what I've fallen for was a slut. A slut with the morals of a dog in perpetual heat.

Jeff: [more wild speculations from her] Here we go again.
[sighs, wants to drive off, holds out his hand]
Jeff: Come on. I really don't have time for any more of your fantasies.
Fallon: This isn't the same thing, I promise.
Jeff: Fallon, I have enough of my own problems.
Fallon: Yeah, I'm sure you do.
[she reaches up and kisses him passionately]
Fallon: And thanks...
[with: ]
Fallon: for the sympathetic ear. It was real nice to be able to unburden myself.
[they give mocking waves, he drives off, they're unaware Sammy Jo's been watching through upper floor window]

Alexis: [Alexis is lying on her couch, very drunk, when Dex enters] Hi, Dex!
Dex: You're not dressed. The curtain goes up in a little less than half an hour.
Alexis: I've decided not to go, Dex. It's going to be a mediocre evening in the theater, and besides, I've got a little bit of a headache.
Dex: And maybe, just maybe, you're headed for a more than slight hangover in the morning.
Alexis: [laughing] "Have you been drinking, Alexis?" "Oh, yes, I have, Mister Dexter." "A little too much, Alexis?" "Oh, no, Mister Dexter - a LOT too much."

Walter: Now let me tell you something else: I've never known of a billionaire that ever went to school. You know why? If he had, they'd have taught him how to figure that something couldn't work. No, all he knows is he's got a dream. That if he worked harder than anybody else he'll make that dream come true. And when he does, heh, that's when he hires the college boys. Yes sir, they come in there and they want their fringe benefits, and they want them a vacation every year, then they wanna build up a savings account, when they get enough in it, they go out and buy an 'em automobile. Well, that's not me, boy.

Sable: I've gone and got myself pregnant.

Blake: I thought I'd seen everything. My wife is in the hospital. My baby is fighting for her life. And you... you come in here enraged because you might have to share Amanda with me. You call that love? You've never loved anyone but yourself. Now leave us alone; I can't stand the sight of you.

Alexis: [walking in on Sammy Jo at Delta Rho as she sits reading, barefoot and with legs stretched out] Well, well, Sammy Jo reading. And not a comic book. I'm impressed.
[takes off her leather gloves]
Sammy: [sighs] What are you doing here, Alexis?
Alexis: Oh, I came to visit my horses and to talk to you.
Sammy: Well, why don't you go back to the stalls, because I don't want to talk to you.
Alexis: Tsk, tsk. Why not? Is it because you're being your usual snippety self, or - -?
Sammy: Or what?
Alexis: Or that you have something to hide about Auntie Krystle?
Sammy: If I did, Alexis, you'd be the last person I'd tell.
[gets up from the couch as if she doesn't want to]
Sammy: So, if you'll just get out of here...
[pads over to open the door for her, expecting of her to leave]
Alexis: [knowingly] Rita Lesley.
[has a startling effect on Sammy Jo]
Alexis: Yes, Rita Lesley. Wasn't that the name of the actress who was impersonating Krystle?
[turns around victoriously to face Sammy Jo]
Alexis: Hmm? And you were the one who discovered her, weren't you? In a New York bar on West 51st. Do you want me to remind you of the date?
[Sammy Jo hurriedly closes the door, crossing her arms defensively, Alexis smiles sensing blood]
Alexis: Colbyco has a New York office, and we have an excellent private investigator there. Who brings me all sorts of fascinating information. Which is what I want from you right now. Unless of course you want me to go to the police with all of this.
Sammy: [capitulating, suddenly meek] What is it that you want to know?

Josh: I wanted to see you and talk to you, Sammy Jo.
[sighs]
Josh: About us.
Sammy: I'm leaving.
Josh: Just... listen to me.
Sammy: I don't wanna listen to you.
Josh: Hey... what is it? Really? Are you afraid about us?
[comes closer]
Josh: . That's it, isn't it?
Sammy: Listen, Josh, Steven and I love each other in our own way. Very deeply.
[sighs]
Sammy: Some people might not understand that, but we do. He's, uh, a gentle, caring man.
[softly,: ]
Sammy: And I can't hurt him. I wouldn't hurt him for anything... or anyone.

Andrew: Shall we go inside and have a drink together while we talk?
Alexis: Sorry, no vodka. Not even any hemlock.

Blake: What is it? What did you want to talk to me about?
Michael: Sir, I know how important Fallon is to you.
Blake: Yes, yes.
Michael: I don't know how to say this.
Blake: You don't know how to say what, Michael?
Michael: It's about Cecil Colby. He's been using his money to keep you going.
Blake: And?
Michael: There was a deal made.
Blake: A deal? What kind of a deal? What are you talking about?
Michael: Maybe I've said enough.
[turns to leave]
Blake: Now, wait a minute! What deal?
Michael: Fallon agreed to marry Cecil Colby's nephew Jeff; in exchange, Colby would bail you out financially.
Blake: [derisive laughter] You're lying!
Michael: Yes, sir. If that's what you want to believe.

Fallon: [to Alexis] You don't understand, it has nothing to do with love. Yes, I'll love Jeff till I die, but I can't live with him anymore.

Tracy: [to Alexis] If you want something from him, why don't *YOU* sleep with him? I hear that's one of your specialties.

Dana: [reaching over him to put cocktail glass on bedside table, then nestles on his bare chest] Do you mind? I'm cold.
[both chuckle]
Adam: [kissing her hair] You could have fooled me.

Fallon: [shown in by butler, sarcastic tone] You called?
Sammy: [scoffs] Please, sit down.
[gestures, then sits down herself]
Sammy: Would you like some coffee or something to drink?
Fallon: [remains standing] I'd like to know why you called.
Sammy: I have to talk to you.
Fallon: To tell me Jeff proposed to you? This is old news. Steven already told me.
Sammy: Fallon, this is very important to me.
Fallon: [sarcastic] Oh, I'm sure. But why do you wanna talk to me?
Sammy: I wanna talk to you about us. You don't like me and I don't like you. I wouldn't be so dumb to suggest we'd ever become friends. But we can't be enemies.
Fallon: [sarcastic] We're off to a pretty good start.
Sammy: [scoffs] You're not making this easy for me.
Fallon: I'm not trying to.
Sammy: Okay. Jeff and I have been seeing each other... and you found out about it. But I haven't said I'll marry him.
Fallon: [sarcastic] Oh, but you will. I have faith in you. I mean, you wanted to be a Carrington, so you married Steven. Now you wanna be a Colby, so it's Jeff's turn. No, I don't think you've changed much over the years, Sammy Jo.
Sammy: [snaps] I don't care what you think. But I do care that there are children involved: yours and mine. And if I do marry Jeff...
Fallon: If? Why so tentative? Not sure you love him? Not sure he loves you? Not sure there's enough money involved?
Sammy: You're way off the mark, Fallon. I wonder, who do you hate more? Me because I got him? Or yourself because you threw him away?

Adam: [sarcastic] Missed you at the office today.
Fallon: Doesn't surprise me. You miss a lot of things.
[smiles]

Jeff: By the way, Sammy Jo's going to be joining us. I hope you don't mind.
Monica: Of course not. How's her priest, anyway? Are they, uh, picking out furniture yet?
Jeff: [chuckles] Oh, you have an evil mind.
Monica: [smiles] I know.

Alexis: Tell me some more about how much you hate Blake. I find that very exciting.
Cecil: There's no love lost between us and I do something about it everyday

Nurse: [weighing Krystina] Good for you!
Krystle: [entering] Hi, sweetheart.
Krystina: [rushing towards Krystle] Look, Mommy, I gained a whole pound!
Krystle: [picking her up] Oh, that's wonderful!
Nurse: Isn't it?
[laughs]
Nurse: I'll go get her breakfast.
[leaves]
Krystle: Okay, my little one. What shall we do today?
Krystina: Sarah said we could have a tea party. Can we, Mommy?
Krystle: A tea party? Well, I don't know why not. You like Sarah, don't you?
Krystina: She's nice.
Krystle: Yes, she is.
Krystina: Can she stay with us?
Krystle: She can stay as long as she wants.
Krystina: Good.
[both laugh happily]

Alexis: [to Dominique, who enters the bedroom suddenly] What do you want?
Dominique: I thought you did not care for my opinion.
Alexis: That's right... It's the truth that hurts!
Dominique: The truth? I'll hear you say that when I sue you in court - for libel.
Alexis: Oh, you don't want to make a fool of yourself, Dominique. Everyone knows that you're nothing but a second rate loan shark.
Dominique: I don't care what you say to my face, you viper!
[brandishing a rolled newspaper]
Dominique: Retract this or I'll ram it down your throat!
Alexis: Really?
[slaps the newspaper off Dominique's hand]
Dominique: Oh!
[slaps Alexis; they grab each other, and kick at their shins]
Alexis: Bitch!
[Alexis' Yorkshire terrier lifts her ears, then hides as fight goes on]
Adam: Dominique!
[holding her back]
Adam: Stop it!
Dominique: Any time, any time you want more of the same, I'll be waiting for you!...
Alexis: And I'll be waiting for you to tell the world what a no-talent-has-been you are!
Adam: Lin, take care of Mrs. Devereaux.
Dominique: [as Lin the waiter, lifts her up and away from the room] Slobbery! Slobbery!
Adam: What in God's name did you do?
Alexis: I was defending the freedom of the press!

Fallon: Here I am, the scandal of Colorado. And here you are...
Steven: ...Blake Carrington's mistake. Boy, we are a pair.

Blake: I think we've talked enough.
Farouk: Mr. Carrington, please! I love my brother.
Blake: [unmoved] I'm touched by your story. Would you mind getting out.
Farouk: [standing up] I could lose my brother because of you, Mr. Carrington. How would you feel to lose someone close to you?
Blake: Get out of here.
Farouk: This I promise: the day you find out how it feels, I will smile at your agony.
[he storms out]

Krystle: What are you talking about?
Alexis: I'm talking about a woman who has done everything in her power to alienate my daughter from me. Namely you.
Krystle: Alienate? That's a word they invented for you, Alexis.

Jeff: [Fallon enters dressed as a princess with a small crown on top] Is that what took so long?
[catches himself too late]
Jeff: I mean, I mean it looks beautiful.

Adam: If anything happens to my child, I will destroy you.
Jesse: You go to hell.

Blake: And would it make you feel more comfortable if I divested myself of all my holdings? If I gave away every penny I've got?
Krystle: That wouldn't make any difference.
Blake: You're right, it wouldn't. Because if I started from dead scratch tomorrow, I'd have a million dollars by the end of the year and ten million by the year after that.

Alexis: [to Krystle] I just can't wait for the day when I see you walking out of this house carrying the same two cheap plastic suitcases that you walked in here with.

Alexis: Now the end - as I have always believed - justifies the means.

Fallon: Sounds almost like a wedding invitation.
Cecil: If it were... could you find it in your heart to RSVP gracefully?

Dex: [knock on the door, he gets up, sighs as he goes to open] I need an unlisted address.
Joanna: [wears raincoat] Hi, Dex.
Dex: I didn't know it was raining.
Joanna: Oh, it isn't. But a girl has to wear at least one thing besides her hose and heels.
[loosens belt]
Joanna: Sable wanted me to say goodbye, so I just thought we should do it right...

Krystle: [to Blake as she's leaving him] And don't bother calling one of the servants. I haven't forgotten how to carry my own bags.

Andrew: Blake, I'm gonna spell it out for you, okay? You've stepped on a lot of political toes. You've supported a lot of the wrong people in political campaigns. You passed out a hell of a lot of money to causes resented by a hell of a lot of people. And they've been sitting around just waiting for a chance like this. To watch Blake Carrington go under.

Dex: I wanted to see if you were doing anything for lunch.
Leslie: Sorry, but I have plans.
Dex: Maybe you could cancel the dead?
Leslie: With Prince Edward of England? He's just passing through Denver and obviously dying to buy me a cheeseburger.
Dex: Those Buckingham Palace boys, they do have good taste in women.

Sammy: [wet and bedraggled in the pool after having been pushed in by Amanda, who fell in along with her] Well, Miss Perfection. You look like a cat on a rainy night.
Amanda: [sputtering] You pathetic little twit!
Sammy: You'll never get Clay, Amanda. He wants a real woman, not a plastic excuse for one.
[turns her back on her, wading out]
Amanda: [grabbing her by her hair from behind, pulling her back] I haven't finished with you yet!

Fallon: I used to be Fallon Carrington. Now, I'm nothing.

Blake: About your powerful friends on Capitol Hill, now you get out there and you twist their arms, do you understand? For my company and your future. Not to mention the future of this country.

Fallon: I'll go to the hospital and visit her tomorrow and tell her how sorry I am she lost the baby, okay?
Jeff: What did you lose last night, Fallon? Your amateur status?

Kirby: You bitch.
Alexis: If I am, take a lesson from me. You may need it in life.

Krystina: I wanna go home.
[coughs]
Sarah: Oh, and we will, very soon. And we'll have fun, like we always do. And you can ride your little pony and feed your little birds that you love so much. But first you must take your medicine.
[Krystina goes into coughing fit, and Sarah panicks, cradling her]
Sarah: Oh, my God. What is it? What is it, my darling? What is it? Oh, my God, please don't let anything happen to her! Please. Please! My God, please!
[sobbing]

Alexis: Not even your lovely wife, number two?
Blake: I'd like to remind you Krystle is number one.
Alexis: How could I forget?

Alexis: Blake wanted a divorce, and he bought me.
Jake: You mean with a handsome yearly payoff?
Alexis: Oh, well, there are those who might call it handsome. I called it obscene. You see, he forced me to sign a piece of paper.
Jake: A "piece of paper"? What paper?
Alexis: A neatly typed, cold document in which I was forced to promise that I would never see my children again.

Neal: Well, I'm glad to see you're still among us.
Alexis: Are you?
Neal: I'm not really glad, you understand. But it is the civilized thing to say, isn't it?

Adam: Father, what are you doing here, it's election night.
Blake: You're my son, aren't you? There's nothing more important than that.

Fallon: Tomorrow morning... oh that's awfully early, is that the only appointment she has... 9:30.

Amanda: [entering Alexis's reception room, seeing her there] Oh!
Alexis: [to Howard, her assistant, as she ignores Amanda] You can confirm my reservation.
[turns to go into her office]
Amanda: [going in after her] Mother! Mother!
Alexis: [icily] What is it, Amanda?
Amanda: [softly] I just dropped by to see Steven.
Alexis: [disinterested] Have you finished your business yet?
Amanda: [hopeful] Well, I also wanted to talk to you. It's over between Dex and me.
Alexis: So I've heard.
[sarcastically]
Alexis: Are congratulations in order? Or should I inquire as to whose husband you've set your sights on next?
Amanda: Mother, please! I've come to apologize, to make it right between us.
Alexis: Oh, you should have thought about that before you made your foray into my husband's bed.
Amanda: [imploring] I'm sorry, believe me!
Alexis: I just don't want to talk about this again, Amanda.
[moves to her desk dismissively]
Amanda: [contrite] Why must you be so unforgiving? Why can't you believe that I wish it had never happened?
Alexis: [slams down her pen on the desk] You wish it never happened? Regrets are for dinner parties, Amanda. You destroyed my marriage, and you think that an "I'm sorry" is going to make things all right again. Well, it doesn't turn back the clock, Amanda, you made your choice and you're gonna have to live with it. Take it like a woman and not like a child and think about all the suffering that you've caused.
[Amanda looks very hurt, fighting back tears]
Alexis: Now just leave me alone!
[Amanda retreats, while Alexis glowers at her ruefully]

Krystle: This morning you talked about the whole family being united, and yesterday in court, when Steven came up to you, he tried...
Blake: Not that again, dammit! Twice in one day from both wives? Now, that's enough! Krystle, the last subject on earth I want to hear another word about are my children. So help me, there are times I wish I never had them!
Krystle: You can't mean that?
Blake: I do mean it. I mean it from my soul.

Josh: Look, I know I was a...
[scoffs]
Josh: kind of a wise guy at dinner. And... I don't blame you for giving me the cold shoulder all the way home...
[scoffs]
Josh: I just don't know how to act around you.
Sammy: Well then, let me give you a clue. Coming on to me in front of Steven and then holding me prisoner in your car is probably the wrong tack to be taking.
Josh: [snickers] Okay, so I'm discovering that I'm not Mr. Smooth. I'm a football player. I spend my days with a bunch of guys who break heads for a living.
Sammy: And your nights?
Josh: Well, let's just say I'm not used to ladies like you.

Alexis: No coffee for me, thank you.
Sable: Not even laced with something?

Adam: The way I see it, you and I are two of a kind. It's just that I'm more honest about it.

Fallon: Don't tell me about any papers. You've been around this outfit long enough to know what a signature means. It's a name on a piece of paper, and pieces of paper can be burned, torn, or shredded, or flushed down the toilet. Well, she could have come to see us if she really wanted to for a day or a week or a month even. But no, she picked this day to come back. And for only one reason, Steven, to dig Blake Carrington's grave.

Jeff: [at Fallon's funeral] . Why Fallon? Why did you leave me? You never loved me. If you did, you would have never left me for that bum! You BITCH!

Sammy: In case you've forgotten Danny is my son.
Alexis: Yes, I know. Poor little thing. That's a cross he'll just have to bear. Excuse me.
Sammy: I can't really blame Steven for moving out on you and taking Danny. At least I know you won't be able to contaminate my child with your conniving and your lying and your dirty ways.
Alexis: [laughs] Dirt seems to be the big word in your vocabulary, Sammy Jo. You grew up on the road with racing cars and dirt. You modeled through all those dirty magazines. You're covered in it.
Sammy: If that were true all I would need is a bath. But with your track record Alexis what you need to do is stand naked in a rainstorm. For a week.
Alexis: [scoffs] You trashy little tramp!
[attempts to slap but Sammy Jo catches her hand]

Fallon: We were all out. Scattered. Like big old pin-rubies looking for their lost setting.

Dex: [touching Leslie's face] You're like a smoldering of fire. Hot and inviting. But as soon as anyone gets too close, they run the risk of being burned.
Leslie: [pulls away from him] Maybe you're just not man enough to take the heat.

Josh: [still getting dressed] Hi. It's a little later than I thought, I guess.
Sammy: [chuckles] It's one o'clock. Why are you still here?
Josh: I overslept.
Sammy: [chuckles] Well, I've already been riding. I've taken care of things at the stables. Don't you have something to do? Like report to practice?
Josh: There is no scrimmage today.
[they kiss]
Sammy: [chuckles] Well, I have a son that I have to pick up at school.
Josh: I'll tell you what, I'll pick up Danny for you if you want.
[another kiss]
Sammy: [chuckles] No, no. Uh... Josh, what happened last night was wrong. Steven was away, and I was lonely. And I'm telling you now, it's never gonna happen again.
Josh: Sammy Jo... I don't know what goes on in this house, but you have a great kid. And then there's Steven Carrington. The man who sleeps down the hall. Alone.
Sammy: I think it's time for you to leave.
[heads off]
Josh: No.
[takes her by the shoulders, and turns her around]
Josh: Not until I tell you I think I'm falling in love with you. I mean, really in love. What happened last night was not a casual thing for me.
Sammy: Steven's flying back tonight. I have to be here. I wanna be here. Please, just finish getting dressed, and leave. I mean it. I want you out of here by the time I get back with Danny.

Fallon: [to Alexis] Look, why don't you just stay out of my life? You should be good at it - you've had 16 years of practice.

Leslie: [as Clay left] Do you mind if I get personal?
Sammy: How personal?
Leslie: Why did you break up with Clay?
Sammy: [scoffs] Well, it's kind of complicated. But I guess you could say I fell out of love with him.
Leslie: Ah. Did he, uh, also fall out of love with you?
Sammy: I think you should ask him that yourself. Maybe sometime when you're not working.
Leslie: [guiltily] Oh, Sammy Jo, it was just a kiss.
Sammy: [laughing] Relax. Our marriage was annulled. Clay is back in circulation. I'm perfectly happy with my life right now.
[turns to leave]
Sammy: See you tonight.

Sammy: [upstairs, in her room] I didn't ask you to follow me in here, Steven.
Steven: I don't like to see you so unhappy.
Sammy: Then why are you walking out on me?
Steven: Don't you understand? It can't work.
Sammy: I love you, and it can work. But I'm sick and tired of lying awake at night, thinking of you and... and what we once had and what we might still have. Steven. Please, just leave me alone. Once and for all, leave me alone.

Alexis: Morgan Hess, it's Alexis Colby. I still think you're slime but since I know you'll do anything for money and you are rather a good private investigator, I've got another little job I'd like you to do.

Fallon: Krystle, you remember Andrew Laird - Daddy's consiglieri.
Andrew: Fallon, that's not very funny.
Fallon: Sorry. I thought that was Italian for attorney.

Alexis: Enjoy the champagne, Mark, I'll deduct it from your salary.

Fallon: Look, Krystle, I don't like you around the baby. I can handle him. I don't need my father's wife to help.
Krystle: I'm not going to take this as an insult, Fallon, because I think I know what's eating you. This has something to do with Nick, doesn't it? Fallon, I was never really involved with him and I'm not now. I'm not holding him with any invisible strings. If you lost him and you want to know the source - just look into any mirror in the house.

Alexis: [to Sammy Jo] And that's exactly the point of this little tete-a-tete. In plain words of one syllable that you can understand - I want you out of the family. I want you not married to Steven. I'm offering you $20,000 if you sign this piece of paper and leave immediately.

Steven: Look, you heard what I told him. I'm not walking out. I'll be back.
Sammy: To visit? It's not the same thing, Steven. It can't be. Now, why can't you just stay? I don't care if we sleep in separate rooms or separate beds. I don't care.
Steven: No. I can't do that, not to any of us. Especially not to Danny.
[emphasizing: ]
Steven: Not anymore.

Blake: [introducing Krystle to the domestic staff] This is Michael. He's ambitious. He listens in on conversations which do not concern him. But he drives well, and he might last the year out.

Prince: You'll love the winters in Moldavia. They're as cold as ice - just like you.

Jeff: [to Fallon] Oh, you thrive on mud. You wallow in it like a sow. You're to the mud born.

Sammy: You're still worried, aren't you?
Dana: Well, whoever was on the phone really upset Karen.
Sammy: I know. One moment she was happy, and then, I don't know.
[shakes her head]
Dana: Do you think it could have been that newspaper reporter or a lawyer?
Sammy: What are you talking about?
Dana: Adam's been concerned. Some surrogate mothers are changing their minds about giving up their babies. They're going to court. It's in this morning's paper.
Sammy: I don't think Karen's that type of person.
Dana: This baby's so important to Adam. And to me.
[shakes her head]
Dana: I just don't want anything to go wrong.

Adam: You of all people should know the end justifies the means.
Alexis: Sometimes I'm not so sure about that, Adam.
Adam: Aren't you? Then look at it this way...
Alexis: Oh, I know! It's only a matter of time before we force Blake out as head of Denver-Carrington, and then you and I will take over Denver-Carrington and ColbyCo and run it together.
Adam: Yes! Exactly. And think of the fields we'll conquer. Oil fields, soybean fields, name them... and they're ours.

Jeff: [to Adam] God, help your family. Because I think they actually love you.

Alexis: Steven, you don't get rich if you don't take chances. When are you going to grow up and become somebody in this business?
Steven: Mother, my definition of being somebody was never yours. Being rich is not as important to me as it is to you.
Alexis: The best things in life are free. Or some other such misguided phrase designed to placate those who are not rich. Steven, there is nothing in my life more important than my children. Money, position, power, nothing. I'd give anything to have Fallon back with us and to have little Danny back safe again. But I do value money, because money can help protect the people that I love.

Dana: [in bed with Adam, lying on top of him] Mm. Do you know how long I have waited for this moment? One long interminable day.
[they kiss]
Dana: I'm waiting to be with you, and wanting to be with you.
[they kiss again, but...]
Dana: Adam, what's the matter?
Adam: Matter?
Dana: Yeah.
Adam: Nothing.
Dana: You sure?
Adam: [laughs] Of course.
Dana: Could have fooled me.
Adam: Oh.
[they kiss]
Dana: Do you remember that... book with, oh, some line, like,
[laughs]
Dana: "love means never having to say you're sorry"?

Sammy: [referring to Fallon] I mean, we're kind of sisters now that I married Steven. You did hear about that?
Alexis: Yes, I heard about that. I'm just thrilled to bits.
Sammy: Alexis, I guess, I can call you mother now, okay?
Alexis: No, it's not okay. Neither Alexis nor mother is okay. I'm Mrs. Carrington. You'll remember that - won't you?
Sammy: Sure, that's easy, Mrs. Carrington. That makes three of us now.

Dex: [in swimming pool] Fallon, I'm talking about feelings, not looks.
Fallon: [having dyed her hair blond] Oh, feelings... I'm feeling fine. Thank you Dr. Dexter.
Dex: [sighs] I am talking about deep feelings.
Fallon: Oh. I should have said Dr. Freud, excuse me.

Sammy: I came by to ask why you quit, but it looks like you're quitting more than the football team.
Josh: I didn't think it would matter to you.
Sammy: You're wrong. It does matter.
Josh: Look, don't do that, Sammy Jo. We had our one-night stand. That's all that mattered. You made that clear.
Sammy: [comes nearer] Just because I didn't agree to run away with you, that means I don't care?
[sits down]
Sammy: Well, look who's running away now. Why?
Josh: Because... it's just something I wanna do.
[sighs]
Josh: You wouldn't understand.
Sammy: Oh, really? That's funny. I know all about running away. I wrote the book. When things got rough, Sammy Jo got going.
Josh: Well, maybe you were right.
Sammy: [shakes her head] No. I was afraid. I wasn't sure where I belonged, so I didn't stay in one place long enough to find out. I even left Danny behind. I gave up three years of my son's life because I was too scared to fight for him. I don't know if I'll ever forgive myself for that.
Josh: Sammy Jo, we're different people. I have to go. It's easier that way.
Sammy: But it isn't. Can't you see that once you start running, it gets harder and harder to stop? I do care about you, Josh. I don't want it to end like this.
[which he misunderstands]

Fallon: Adam gives bad first impressions. Unfortunately, they're usually accurate.
Sable: Now, Fallon, why do you want to hurt your brother's feelings?
Adam: [pointedly] Mm.
Fallon: I couldn't. He doesn't have any.
Adam: Thank God you're so easy to ignore.
[heads off, and Sable laughs]
Blake: That's enough, you two. Now, remember, we have a guest.
Sammy: [entering] Sorry I'm late.
Sable: Oh, and you are the very pretty Sammy Jo.
Sammy: Thank you.
[they shake hands]
Sable: [jokingly] Tell me, what do you do with all those men you must attract?
Sammy: Usually, lose them.
Sable: [chuckles] Don't we all?

Alexis: [Alexis standing by the ladies' room] Krystle. The typing pool's on the first floor, are you lost?
Krystle: I always know where I belong, Alexis. But that's the ladies' room. Are you lost?

Cecil: The last of the Colbys. The one who ought to take over this empire. And, it is an empire, Jeff.

Adam: As a latecomer to this family - this often ruthless family - I've made it my business to find out everything about everybody.

Alexis: Fallon, are you trying to kill us both? Look, darling, whatever this is all about, and I presume it's about Dr. Toscanni, no man is worth it!
Fallon: You oughta know because you know all about men, don't you, mother?

Alexis: Joseph's going to have a fit when he sees the mess I've made. Good!

Joanna: Hello, Monica. Here to replace me, are you?
Monica: [scoffs] I think one of us needs to go out and come in again.

Fallon: [on Carrington estate, as she parks her car, he comes sneaking up, dripping wet] I don't believe you. Are you out of your mind? How did you get past security?
Sgt. John Zorelli: Well, security was no problem. It was, uh, the sprinklers that nailed me.
Fallon: Idiot. My father will have you arrested.
Sgt. John Zorelli: You've been avoiding me, Fallon.
Fallon: You noticed.
Sgt. John Zorelli: You know what? You're right. I am an idiot. I camp out here since before dawn trying to catch you on the way to the office, and I do catch you, only you're not coming out, you're coming in first thing in the morning.
Fallon: So?
Sgt. John Zorelli: So where did you spend the night?
Fallon: Why? You're not jealous, are you?
Sgt. John Zorelli: You're damn...!
[glances up at mansion to see if they're being overheard]
Sgt. John Zorelli: You're damn right I'm jealous, and I'm entitled!
Fallon: You're not entitled to anything.
[tries brushing past]
Sgt. John Zorelli: [stops her] Look, Fallon, what's going on here? I mean, what was that stunt you pulled at my place the other night? You come over, you make dinner, I go into the shower, I come out, you're all gone. I can't reach you anywhere, I can't call you here because of your old man. I think you owe me some kind of explanation.
Fallon: I should never have been at your place to begin with.
Sgt. John Zorelli: And why not?
Fallon: I don't wanna see you anymore, Zorelli!
Sgt. John Zorelli: You don't wanna see me anymore? Oh, she doesn't wanna see me anymore!
Fallon: I can't!
[rushes off]
Sgt. John Zorelli: [as she goes up the stairs] You know, Fallon, this is nuts! This is absolutely nuts, and I'm gonna tell you something.
[she glares at him defiantly]
Sgt. John Zorelli: Some sort of explanation would not be out of order here, you know what I'm saying?
Fallon: [tearfully] Just go.
[shakes her head]

Sammy: What, is he upset about the election?
Jeff: No, no, it's something else. Look, I'd better get dressed.
[walks off]
Sammy: What's wrong?
Jeff: I said it's nothing!
Sammy: It's not nothing. What is it? Is it Krystle?
[Jeff stops]
Sammy: It is Krystle, isn't it? She's been having these headaches, and when I called today, Jeanette wouldn't put her on the phone. I was gonna drive to the lake to see if she was there, but...
Jeff: The lake?
Sammy: Yeah. She goes there when she wants to be alone.
Jeff: Could you show me where?
Sammy: Now? Jeff, what's going on?
Jeff: Just take me there.
Sammy: She's disappeared, hasn't she?

Joseph: [Joseph enters the kitchen] It's after three.
Fallon: Is it? I hadn't really noticed.
Joseph: Bran muffins?
Fallon: Bran muffins. See, I have this nervous habit of getting up in the middle of the night and baking every time my father gets convicted of manslaughter.

Adam: Nothing's wrong, and I love you for worrying about me. Now, I promise you, the sooner you get your beautiful self out of here, the sooner I can finish up and join you at home, okay?
Dana: Okay. Brazilian music tonight?
Adam: Our very own festival.

Kirby: Oh, Krystle, isn't it obvious? I mean, here I am, the new princess, living under the same roof as my husband's ex-wife, the all-time princess.

Krystle: [to Alexis] I love your desk. The tusks, they're so you.

Walter: Well, you take fast horses, good automobiles, beautiful women. Now, those things are important. And if you go to your grave without them, then the whole darn thing's just been a waste. I mean, that's the natural way. That's the way the Lord made it. Well, that's the way it's supposed to be! A man and a woman. That's why he made 'em the way he did. I mean, they just kinda fit together!

Sammy: [about to soothe Clay's sore muscles] I have just the solution.
Clay: I was hoping you'd say that.
Sammy: This.
[produces bottle]
Clay: This is horse liniment.
Sammy: [naughty sparkle in eyes, challenging him] Don't think you're man enough? On the sofa.
Clay: I was hoping you'd say that too.

Andrew: Blake, I'm not only your lawyer, I'm your friend. And I feel compelled to say something to you now, even if it upsets you. I saw the way Krystle turned away from you in court today. You want to know what I think? I think you're attacking me because this suit has obviously cost you her affection as well.
Blake: Now look here, Andrew, I am...!
Andrew: No, *you* look here! And listen to me, please! Why don't you set your mind to getting her back? She left you because you treated her like... like a possession. Why don't you find another way to treat her? Not just as a wife, but as a partner?

Mark: You know, somewhere along the line I got the impression that I meant more to you than just another tennis pro. I guess I was wrong.
[Fallon's face struggles to remain expressionless]
Mark: Your mother said you were vulnerable. You are. Like the Rock of Gibraltar!
[Fallon flees up the stairs]

Steven: Oh, just admit it, Adam: the one thing that really bothers you is that I'm sitting in Blake's chair.
Adam: You're wrong! Everything about you bothers me.

Blake: What makes you think I haven't been able to claw my way up from setbacks before? I've gone to congressmen and kings and dictators and mob bosses when I needed help. And I got it!

Blake: Jeff, I must thank you very much for keeping me so closely posted on Alexis' maneuvers.
Jeff: Well, even though ColbyCo is half mine, I think you know where my loyalties lie.

Clay: [coming up to Sammy Jo and Steven swaying on the dance floor] You guys having fun?
Sammy: As a matter of fact, we are.
Clay: Looks like it. The only problem is, pal, this lady happens to be my wife.
Steven: Look, Clay, it's just...
Clay: [brusque] I didn't finish. She asked for an annulment. You know about that?
Steven: [nods] Yeah, I know about that.
Clay: [nods back] Then you probably know too, you're responsible for it.
Sammy: Let's get out of here, Steven.
[starts leaving]
Clay: [to Steven] You used your son to get back into her life. And the ironic thing is... you're not even a man.
[Steven punches him, and a fight ensues]

Steven: You really know what hurts me the most, is I hate what you all stand for. I hate your values, your morals and your blindness. But, I love you, I love you all very much.
[Steven starts to leave as L.B. cries]
Steven: The heir apparent; the little Carrington prince - God help that poor baby.

Fallon: You're even more beautiful and more ugly than that grand English lady I vaguely remember, and whom I've tried very hard to forget existed these past sixteen years.
Alexis: I'm glad to see that your father had your teeth fixed; if not your tongue.

Sable: Alexis goes through men like they were cheeses with an expiration date.

Alexis: Darling, do you know how long it took for me to fall in love with your father?
Adam: No...
Alexis: I took one look at him, then I took a deep breath, and by the time
[makes simple gesture]
Alexis: I let it out, I was in love.
Adam: Then, you approve?
Alexis: Oh, yes, of love,
[closes her eyes]
Alexis: I do approve.

Steven: You said that it made you sick - me putting my hands on another man. Okay, I'm putting them on women. I mean aren't you satisfied?

Steven: Tell me something, doctor, if I don't like the results of what I see, is the next surgery on the house?
Dr. Chen Ling: On the house. I'm not quite familiar with that expression. Are you, Sister?
Sister: He means without charge
Dr. Chen Ling: Oh. The answer is no.

Blake: Let me show you the cockpit of this flying hotel and you'll see what I mean.
Bethany: Do you mind, Cecil?
Cecil: No, no, of course not. But just don't let him tell you he's run out of gas and wants to park.

Alexis: Blake bought people off.
Jake: "Bought people off"? What exactly do you mean by that, Mrs. Carrington?
Alexis: He bought off a lawyer.
[Andrew Laird scowls]
Alexis: He bought off one of our servants who knew what had happened, and he promoted him to a lifetime membership in the Carrington household.
[Joseph grimaces]
Alexis: He even bought off Roger Grimes.
Blake: [whispering to Andrew Laird] That's a lie. She's lying!
Jake: Are you saying that Blake Carrington paid for the silence of everyone involved in this incident, including the victim?
Alexis: Yes.

Alexis: You pregnant?
Krystle: Yes.
Alexis: Congratulations.
Krystle: Thank you.
Alexis: Not that it is all that special. I mean, even earth worms can procreate.

Blake: Fallon's got a gypsy's intuition about some things. More often than not, she's right.

Andrew: You love him a lot, don't you?
Fallon: You know I do.
Andrew: But you don't love Krystle a lot. You really fixed it good this time, didn't you? Got your father to thinking about inviting Matthew Blaisdel over here.
Fallon: It's the smartest thing for him to do, Andy. I don't have to tell you that.
Andrew: It'll also make Krystle crazy. You don't have to tell me that either. And you figure by chipping away at her, little by little, you'll be able to drive her out of this house, hm?
Fallon: She's no good for him. She'll just drag him down.
Andrew: You know, Fallon, most little girls realize by the age of six that they can't grow up and marry their daddies.

Fallon: Someone's been badmouthing Peter, and I want to know who it is. No, never mind, I know who it is. It's Jeff, isn't it?
Blake: No, it was your mother.
Fallon: Oh, *THAT* paragon of sanctity!

Alexis: Dominique. Good evening.
Dominique: Good evening, Alexis. I was sure you knew, this is a private party.
Alexis: Oh, I know. And I wouldn't dream of crashing it. But I was dining in the gourmet room and I wanted to give you a very special engagement present personally.
Dominique: There is nothing I want from you, Alexis.
Alexis: Oh, you'll want this, dear. Interesting man, your fiancee. Let's discuss him.
Dominique: Surely you understand that I'm not in the mood to discuss Garrett or anyone else with you.
Alexis: Oh, does that include his so-called first wife?
Dominique: Yes, that does include Jessica.
Alexis: Jessica. Ah, well, I think that I should tell you as a friend that there never was a Jessica. That your fiancee has never been married.
Dominique: Oh, good God, Alexis. Do your lies never stop?
Alexis: Are you calling me a liar? Oh, I find that very amusing. Well, I suggest that you check it out with Garrett Boydston yourself because he gives a new meaning to the word "liar."
Dominique: Alexis.
Alexis: Yes?
Dominique: I didn't thank you for your present.
[she hauls off and delivers the mother of all slaps to Alexis' face. And Alexis just smiles]
Alexis: It's he you should slap, dear. Not I.

Blake: [speaking to assembled family] I just don't know... if Krystle is ever going to come out of her coma.
Sammy: Oh, God.
[looks down]
Blake: And the only way... we can deal with that, is to accept it. Krystle is gone.
Sammy: But she's not dead.
Blake: Sammy Jo, Krystle's spirit will never leave this house, nor any of our hearts.

Fallon: So don't bother RSVPing.
Sammy: What's that mean?
Fallon: Oh nothing, I just made it up.

Dana: Adam, I'm serious, I am tired of being your little plaything, of... of you showing up here and... and letting yourself in and expecting me to always be waiting for you.
Adam: I'm not here to play games. I had this all planned out. Uh, true, I wasn't supposed to break any vases...
Dana: I know, you were going to sweep me into your arms and carry me off to bed. Well, I'm sorry to disappoint you. Would you please leave?
Adam: I can't.
Dana: What do you mean, you can't? This is my apartment, and I want you out of here.
Adam: I just said it, I can't go.
Dana: What is wrong with you?
Adam: I can't go until...
Dana: Look...
Adam: ...I've asked you to marry me.
Dana: Are you going to force me to call somebody to get you out of here? I said it and I'm-
[looks at him in wonder, her face radiant]
Dana: What did you just say?
Adam: That I can't go.
Dana: [filled with expectation] No, after that.
Adam: [nonchalantly] Until I ask you to marry me.
[nods comically]
Dana: You did say it. "Marry."
Adam: Well, I didn't say "let's go to the movies." And I didn't say "take a letter, Miss Waring." I said "marry." As in "church." As in "wedding." As in "future." As in "I adore you." As in "you are my life." As in...
Dana: I get the point. Would you shut up so that I can say yes?
Adam: [looking at her in awe] Okay, I'll shut up. Say it.
Dana: Yes.
Adam: Louder.
Dana: Yes!
Adam: I can't hear you.
Dana: Yes, Adam Carrington, I will marry you! Is that loud enough?
[laughs]
Adam: It will have to do.
[laughs]
Adam: Oh, God, I love you.
Dana: I love you too.
[they kiss]

Steven: Well, maybe you can accept this too, I quit my job at the refinery.
Blake: What, again, and now what are you going to do?
Steven: Something that's very important to me.
Blake: I can't wait to hear.
Steven: I'm going to be a professional driver.
Blake: Truck or taxi cab?
Steven: Racing cars.
Blake: My God, what have I done?

Krystle: Finally. You're finally trying to buy *me* off.

Phoenix: [tearfully shaking her head, with rifle aimed towards Adam] What is it with you two anyway? I thought you wanted to see him convicted.
Adam: I do.
Phoenix: I wonder. I wonder
[jerks up rifle]
Phoenix: if you're not playing some kind of weird game, getting even with him over something or other.
Adam: That's absurd.
Phoenix: Is it? I wonder if you're not playing both sides against the middle. Trying to look good for both Mommy and Daddy.

Alexis: Mark, the table is set for two. Don't you have an appointment at the muscle factory or somewhere equally intellectual?

Blake: Fallon, how did you get in here?
Fallon: Oh, I told the guard at the door I was CIA. Undercover.

Krystina: [in hospital bed] I wanna go home.
Krystle: Oh, you will, sweetheart. As soon as they help you feel better.
Krystina: I wanna sleep in my own bed.
Krystle: Soon, darling. Soon.
Krystina: Please, I don't like it here.
Blake: [entering] It'll be soon, sweetheart.
[patting her]
Blake: We'll all be going home soon.

Alexis: Blake, what you call filth, maybe a lie to you, but I still have it. When I'm ready, when I need a trump card, I'm going to play it.

Steven: What is this, Blaisdel, Be-Kind-to-a-Faggot Week?

Steven: I did what was best for the team and for Josh.
Sammy: You ruin a man's career because that's what's best for him?
Steven: Don't push this, Sammy Jo. You don't have all the facts.
Sammy: And what are all the facts? Other than you wanna show me how much control you have over my life and everybody around me?
Steven: I'll ignore that, because I know you're angry.
Sammy: You're damn right I'm angry.
Steven: Okay, you want the truth? Josh Harris is a coke addict.
Sammy: That's a lie.
Steven: I gave him every chance to help himself, but he refused.
Sammy: [shakes her head] I don't believe you.
Steven: I should have told you yesterday, but I was hoping that he would change his mind and accept help. But he's hooked. I don't want him around Danny, and I don't want him around you.

Alexis: [With a basktet of cut roses] I-I had uh, Tony cut these for me for a still life that I'm planning to paint.
Blake: No need to apologize and no need to lie either Alexis.
Alexis: Lie?
Blake: Tony has the day off. Paul is handeling the gardens.
Alexis: Oh, Blake... In the good times, and there were alot of good times, you use to forgive me my fibs... I mean, my little fibs.

Alexis: Darling, do you really expect me to believe that you and he spent thirty-six hours alone together and all you did is play backgammon?
Amanda: Are you asking if we slept together?
Alexis: Oh, of course not. I'm not that curious.

Sammy: Now, let's start all over again.
Jeff: What do you mean?
Sammy: Ask me to marry you. You said you wanted to.
Jeff: You know I wanna marry you.
Sammy: Then ask me.
Jeff: [chuckles] Sammy Jo... will you marry me?
Sammy: [kidding around] No, I don't think so.
[chuckles, then there is a knock on the door]
Sammy: Are you expecting someone?
Jeff: No.
[goes to open]
Jeff: Fallon.
Fallon: [enters, wearing exquisite red body-hugging leather dress] Sorry I'm late, Jeff. The traffic was unbelievable. Whoops.
[fastens missed button]
Fallon: I was in such a rush, I barely had time to dress. Hi, Sammy Jo.
Jeff: Ah, Fallon, I really don't think this is the time.
Fallon: What do you mean? You asked me to come over. That was today, wasn't it?
Jeff: No, uhm... I... I really think you should go.
Fallon: Ooh, champagne. Have I interrupted a celebration? Or does this go on every morning?
Sammy: Jeff and I are going to be married.
Fallon: [over-accentuated] Congratulations.
[Jeff grins]
Fallon: Out of one, into another. Uh, marriage, of course. Sammy Jo, welcome to what I'm sure is going to be a
[not sparing her: ]
Fallon: long line of Mrs. Colbys.
Sammy: For a woman who's just lost her husband, I'm glad you're taking it so well.
Fallon: Well, Jeff and I will always be close.
Jeff: [whispering] Fallon, you're really pushing it.
Fallon: You two must have so many decisions to make. Invitations, flowers, wedding gown. You know, Sammy Jo, you could borrow my old one... with a few alterations.
Sammy: [scoffs] That's very sweet of you, Fallon, but I've got Jeff, and that's all I'll need from you.
Fallon: Really? Then I guess there's nothing more for me to say.
Sammy: [smiles] Goodbye would be nice.
Fallon: [gives special look at Jeff, then heads for door, turning back] Well, as they say, here today, here tomorrow.

Mark: Krystle, look, let's go someplace for coffee.
Krystle: Try Brazil!

Krystle: Blake, I can't do that, I can't go to that meeting.
Blake: You've got to. The sharks are beginning to circle and they think that I'm weak enough so that they can slip in and chew me up. But you're going to stop them.

Dex: [as they settle in eating the lunch she had packed for Clay] I'm sorry you had to drive all the way up here and miss him.
Sammy: I should have phoned first.
Dex: [taking a bite of roast beef sandwich] He'll be disappointed.
Sammy: I hope so. I mean, I know there are some men who don't like their wives interfering in their work.
Dex: No, I don't think he'll mind at all.
[gets up, goes to the fridge]
Dex: He is a very happy man, Sammy Jo.
Sammy: You think so?
Dex: I know so.
[taking bottle of beer from the fridge]
Dex: Sammy Jo, Clay's one of those rich kids who didn't take kindly to growing up with money. He needed to prove himself. In fact, he wanted to prove himself so much that he almost got himself killed in South America. Did he tell you that?
Sammy: [surprised] No.
Dex: [takes swig of beer] You know something? You're the best thing that's ever happened to him. You and the baby.
[she looks down]
Dex: Now, that has changed his life. I mean, I've never seen a man so happy to be having a child.
[she still looks down]
Dex: Hey, you okay?
[touches her arm]
Sammy: [smiles longingly] Dex... I just love him so much...
