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?

    • @soapfan770 1995/96 to 1999/2000 were not very good in primetime. CBS and ABC both had primetime mess eras, and that's how NBC got away with their Thursday garbage shows finishing in the Top 10. Remember too that ABC was sold to Disney in 1996.  As for ABC primetime mess era, it started with the Top 10 fallout of Roseanne and ended with the breakout success of Who Wants to be a Millionaire. Monday Night Football and Home Improvement pretty much kept ABC alive in that era.
    • This show is miles better under the new writers. It's really a condemnation of Carlivati, because he had the characters and history to write good soap. Instead, he turned it into a joke and a farce. I've heard some people says DAYS is now "too talky." Miss me with that stupid analysis.
    • I always wondered if Jackie wasn't going to be recast after being persumed dead... if Marland was going to pair Evie and Justin as a couple reunited in grief over Jackie's death. The one consistent thing I noticed about Evie during those months she was still on the show was that she was kind of a second mother to Phillip after Jackie's 'death' and Elizabeth no longer on the canvas.   But then one of the three interim writer teams decided to pair up Helena with Justin.. which left Evie even less to do than she had at the start of 1983. You're right that Evie was a unique character on the soap.  She was sweet and trusting, yet she had a quiet strength that made it difficult to push her around (at least when the Dobson's were writing her).  The Ben/Amanda/Eve triangle was an interesting triangle because neither of the women were evil... and Ben did have chemistry and a connection with both women.   It had a pretty decent run from 1978/9 to 1982 before Amanda was spun off into her mother's new marriage to Mark as the other woman.
    • Lots of fast-forwarding in today's episode. The best parts were the Lulu and Tracy scenes and Chase in the tank top. And once again, a horrible cliffhanger with Sonny.
    • A very very brief excerpt from a CBS special is up. That's it. @jam6242 Thank you for the lovely Susan article. I adore that photo of her with Denise - such strong yet different personalities on display.  I remember seeing that photo of Denise, Bill and Susan on soap magazines like Afternoon TV. I wonder if they took it or if DAYS did.
    • I think Joss does know the material and maybe just plagiarized some of Emma's data?   Despite all her actions I do think the show pretends Joss is smart and this class is sort of in her new wheelhouse as a degree. Gio playing Carmen was super high pitched to me.  He's a talented musician but that was screechy lol. TBH, we all know I love Sonny to a fault, but I would rather stare at Rebecca Herbst's opening picture for an hour than listen to Sonny and Jason blather on about giving up the mob.  You can't even try to fake me out at this point.
