Favorite Lines of Dialogue Ever!


Recommended Posts

  • Members

We always notice little snippets and turns of phrases the writers use to spice up the dialogue. Sometimes they can have dramatic relevence, sometimes they can reveal something about the characters, or sometimes they can just be pretty damn funny.

What are the best quips, quibbles, and one-liners you have evern heard on your soap?

From AMC, this little speech of Adam's is one of my favorites:

ADAM: Well, to all the petal pluckers and star wishers made in Jake Martin's image, I say go to hell! But for the fire breathers and the risk takers and the passion players, I say step right up and take a chance. What have you got to lose?

LIZA: Who are you?

ADAM: Don't you know? I'm you.

"Take A LOOK YOU BITCH! That's no Halo. And you're not Heroine. You have done the vilest, filthiest thing sleeping with you're daughter's husband."

Truer words were never spoken to that hoe. Brooke is so pitiful.

Flannery sent chills up my spine with this dialogue.

Todd Manning (after Tea suggests that Starr would probably like Disney World): Can you really see ME in the happiest place on Earth? I'd rather dig out my small intestine with a cocktail fork.

Todd Manning (on finding out that Blair would be at the charity auction): Well that seals it. Wild horses on crack couldn't drag me there.

Paul Ryan (on James using nursery rhymes to give up the location of Rose and Lily): The guy's human napalm as a father, but he's letter perfect on the Mother Goose, go figure.

Rosanna Cabot (when the minister hesitates during her and Craig's wedding): Oh for God's sake. I now pronounce us Rosanna and Craig.

And my new recent favorite...

Emily Stewart to Meg Snyder - on how Paul is just no fun anymore and won't help her scheme: Thanks to you? He's useless to me. (Word, Emily. Word.)

From Y&R

John Abbott: Mamie I need a few moments alone with my......Mrs...

Mamie Johnson: You mean The Bitch don't you?

John Abbott: Thank you Mamie I'll handle this for now.

Katherine Chancellor: Dear God In Heaven [insert rest of plea to the Lord]

From B&B

Stephanie Forrester: TAKE A LOOK YOU BITCH! That's No Halo! And You're No Heroine!

The way Flannery delivered that line was just spine tingling.

These two are from the very short lived prime time soap 'Paper Dolls' featuring Morgan Fairchild

Racine: Those famous Harper family dinners. Forks on the left, knives in the back.

Julia Blake: [holding a Barbie-type doll] Racine, this will not be the new Taryn Blake doll. It's eyes are brown!

Racine: I guess they couldn't get that bloodshot color just right.

From 'Dynasty'

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: Nobody takes me to bed and to the cleaners in one night.

Alexis: I know what's wrong with you... The empty armed Madonna, mourning the baby that she couldn't have and the baby that she almost got to adopt... Gone now... That is it, isn't it?

Krystle: You miserable bitch!

[Pushes Alexis into a nearby pond and they both fall in]

Dex: You have managed to say no every time we've met. You said no to Tar Sands. You said no to dinner.

Alexis: Well, you seem to thrive on rejection.

From Y&R:

Michael (to Victoria, about Jack): "We's kin now"

Diane: "Jack has offered me a position at Jabot"

Phyllis: "On your back in the mens' room?"

Jill: "I want to talk to you about our son"

John: "Billy?"

Jill: "No, Val Kilmer"

Victor (to David): "If I want you dead, you will be dead!"

Colleen: "Chloe Mitchell - a bitch, a loser and now a mom. I feel sorry for that baby"

Victor (after Nick launches into a tirade, threatening to sue him): "Pull yourself together son, you're not suing anyone"

From B&B:

Macy (to Brooke): "You're nothing but a walking, talking piece of pornography"

Stephanie (to Brooke): "You're about as welcome here as a whore at a monk's convention"

Eric (to Stephanie): "I see you've had your daily breakfast of staples and nails"

Stephanie (to Katie): "Another Logan sister? Oh my God. Sorry, I'm fresh out of sons"

Y&R Halloween episode. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8ZrSP7m5IMU

Colleen (Bumps into Amber at the Bar): Excuse Me

Amber: Excuse you

Colleen: It must suck that Daniel might come to his senses and dump you at any second. I mean he already knows you cheated on him right. Does he know you're a psycho?

Amber: If I were a psycho I would toss this drink right in your face. (Dumps it down Colleen's cleavage)

Colleen: You are a lunatic. You know

Amber: At least it wasn't your face, right baby?

    • Yes today's would have been what should have aired Friday 
    • A poster on Bluesky has reminded me that this was that awful story where Jen was engaged to Lawrence. Further she thinks that Jack was going for one of the SNL wild & crazy guys. And then she adds how much she misses Vern. And, don't we all?!! For the DAYS virgins among us, Vern was the newspaper editor & also father to Brian & to Tanner, Vern Scofield. Vern was a good friend to Jack, at a time when Jack didn't have many friends. 
    • It's Eurovision week!

    • And, Gio is Rocco's half-brother, siblings. 
    • Yes, I would agree that she has some rights to tell Dante because it's their son's brother and it's very unfair Dante never knew.  The whole scenario is odd to me because I don't know why Dante or Olivia were kept in the dark in the first place.  I think Dante would have absolutely accepted Brook Lynn's choice.   I can see Olivia possibly having some issues with it, but she never got the option to react either. 
    • Head trip for EON fans and thanks to @GymnastGuy who's been posting tons of Search episodes on YouTube.  SFT August 22 1985 episode Executive Producer: Erwin Nicholson who produced Edge for nearly two decades; this was his last job (9 months starting March 85 through Nov). Co -Head Writer (with Paul Avila Mayer) Stephanie Braxton who played Winter on Edge Actors: Joe Lambie (Logan) as Lloyd; Lois Kibbee as Grandmere (she stepped in for the Maureen O'Sullivan who had played the part for a few episodes, Lee Godart (Elliot) as Bella; Louise Shaeffer (Serena/Josie) as Stephanie. Other non Edge tidbits: Audrey Peters (Van Love of Life); John Loprieno (Cord OLTL) Of course SFT was filmed at EUE studios where Edge had taped. Most of the technical crew were Edge crew for decades.  Background music same as Edge (Elliot Lawrence productions).

    • Ahh...so in that case it's more of a gray area. But I still think Lulu  has ground to tell Dante as she co-parents with him. 
    • Well Disney owns the archive of all ABC soaps plus Santa Barbara. There are no known plans for Disney to do anything at all with the archive. Some of us are very excited because GH has done modern digitizing of original scenes of young Lucky & young Liz to use as flashbacks now & the past few months. Jerome Dobson last year teased that Santa Barbara might be streamed sometime. It had been tied up in some litigation & that is over now. The reason Disney owns it: it was owned by New World. FOX bought them. Disney bought all of FOX.
    • I casually watched it as a kid, but I finally started X-Men: The Animated Series season 1. It's going to be fun watching it from beginning to end.
