The Best Ric Lansing Quotes

Alexis: Look, Lorenzo Alcazar was out for blood. Hey, he stated in front of a room full of police officers that he was going to exact revenge on Mary Bishop for Sage's death, and because of you, he now knows that if this goes to trial, she would probably be found not guilty because of reason of insanity.
Ric: Right.
Alexis: He's not going to let it go unpunished. He has all the money in the world, he has God knows how many hit men on his payroll. Do you honestly think it's so hard to believe that he would get someone to give her the wrong medication when he was conveniently out of town.
Ric: Ok, It's plausible argument, I'll give you that. But I can't help suspecting that this takes the pressure off your nephew and his fiancee and conveniently places the blame on a man that you can't stand - a man, incidentally, who's the brother of another man that you hated and just happened to kill.
Alexis: Must you always throw that in my face?

Alexis: Any word yet on Sam's baby?
Ric: They had to perform an emergency c-section. The baby didn't survive.
Alexis: Oh, my God.
Ric: Look, I know that Sonny's gong through hell right now. I now he would ever tell me that. Alexis, I spoke with Dr. Webber and he told me that you didn't cause any of it. He also told me that the stem cells would still be viable even if Sam's baby dies.
Alexis: How do I bring myself to ask her?
Ric: I know, I know. Look, she's not going to be able to make an informed decision at this point. So you are going to have to be the one to ask for Sonny's permission.

Ric: I heard there was a problem with Sam?
Alexis: She's in surgery, both she and her baby are at risk.
Ric: What happened?
Alexis: I'm not even sure.
Ric: Were you with her?
Alexis: I went to the Chapel to ask her, to beg her to reconsider. I told her that she was Kristina's only hope, and then I pleaded with her to give the stem cells. Mother to mother.
Ric: What did she say?
Alexis: She said she couldn't do it, and I got so upset. I don't know what I did. I just pushed her. I pushed her and pushed her. And then - then she agreed and then she fell down in pain.
Ric: What if Sam's baby dies? Can she still save Kristina?

Alexis: What?
Sonny: The buttons are straight, the jacket looks really nice, but the hair is kind of - what were you guys doing? You guys rolling around in Ric's office?
Alexis: Of course not.
Sonny: Or maybe on the desk? Were you guys doing it on the desk? May be a little uncomfortable.
Alexis: Don't be ridiculous.
Sonny: Well, I mean, it's not uncomfortable? You like doing it on the desk? Well, it makes sense because, you know, you and Ric are working all the time, so on the desk - you know what I mean?
Alexis: How much longer is this going to go on?
Sonny: Uh, not too long. Your earring. I think you're missing an earring. You might've left it in Ric's office. Maybe in the broom closet? Or in the back seat of his car?
Alexis: Maybe.
Sonny: Maybe?
Alexis: Maybe.
Sonny: Right.
Alexis: Or maybe it's on the sofa or the patio. It could be in the bedroom. But we kind of find that boring. And if it's not in the apartment, then it could be in the elevator. Any number of elevators, all over town.
Sonny: Whew. Wow.
Alexis: Your brother is gifted.
Sonny: Hmm.
Alexis: More than you could ever imagine. He satisfies me - no, he rocks me, body and soul, on every level, like no man that I have ever known.
Ric: Was good for me, too.

Ric: I'm just doing what the people of this town paid me to do.
Alexis: Then the people deserve a refund.

Ric: Ms. Cassadine, I know you're not stupid. You know you're only hope is to let her go.
Helena: Oh, hope? hope is overrated.
