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.

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?

    • I have not gone back to watch much of 1987, but from what I've seen lately, it doesn't feel like the writers or producers had any sort of plan. The show feels as if it's constantly in flux.  I will give it credit for this. It's watchable for the most part minus Lisa/Jamie which I find nearly unwatchable now.   I don't find Cheryl mousy. I think she has a lot of quiet strength, but she was saddled with the Scott romance which the writers did not invest in. She had a good friendship with Julie (also criminally underused), and her interactions with Ada were enjoyable as well. I also like Layman, but Spencer was extremely talented and when Cass returns, Schnetzer and Spencer have some wonderful scenes. Spencer also fits in with Alexander, Hogan, and Marie.  I'd forgotten just how much I missed seeing Wallingford. IT was so good to see him again. Even when they didn't have a major plot, Felicia/Cass/Wallingford/Mitch always brings a smile to my face.  
    •   Dani’s cute ass party planner. He gave me some tea but I was so drunk I don’t remember it.
    • NBC must have been grateful to have LHOTP, it's only hit and still strong after several seasons. Their next established show was Rockford Files at 45th. They didn't develop any comedies and relied on movies and mini series  which didnt establish viewer loyalty and habits. Their only new hit was mid season's Project UFO which debuted Feb up against Rhoda/On Our Own on CBS and How the West Was Won on ABC. It opened with a strong 36 share beating CBS and close to ABC as HTWWW had a 36 share over 3 hours. The next week UFO saw a respectable 32 share, then a 31 so it was slipping. A 28 share followed but a few weeks later it jumped back up to a 34. So no blockbuster but compared to what else they had, there was potential, So next season NBC sent it to Thursday up against Mork and The Waltons and it bombed.  They were smart to see potential in Chips, which took off on Saturdaysnext season. ABC was on a roll with Love Boat, 3's Company, Taxi, Eight is Enough adding to their hits. Their only real flops were Redd Foxx and San Pedro Beach Bums, an Aaron Spelling misfire. Like Redd Foxx, Harvey Korman was lured to ABC but his series was a filler that did well but was considered a time slot hit. Nancy Walker and Rob Reiner were also given series on the philosophy that not only were they popular names, their absence from popular shows like Sanford, Rhoda and All in the Family might weaken those shows. CBS were relying on old favorites. Betty White was strong the first few weeks then faded. Incredible Hulk was their strongest newbie. It was lucky for CBS that NBC was doing so badly or else some of their weaker shows would have really suffered.
    • That outfit looks like something Martin would wear lol.
    • Omg not we both ran into people from the show this weekend!
    • I guess he was let out the gates, because he's outside. 
    • Yup.  You can hate John all you want, but like seriously he was the cornerstone of the show for years.  So he should get a long ass funeral and burial and all the things because Drake and John deserve that.
