Favorite Lines of Dialogue Ever!

[Dan]

Found another of my GL favorites. This time, from 2000. The scene features the divine Mary Stuart as Aunt Meta and Joie Lenz (Bethany Joy Galeotti) as Michelle. Michelle has had enough of Danny's (Paul Anthony Stewart) mob ties and has decided to leave him. Unfortunetly, she has found herself pregnant and is fearful of what Danny might do if he found out, so she has decided to run away. Meta is trying to keep her from doing that.

Meta: Where would you go?

Michelle: New York. I was thinking cause Drew's there. I know she would keep it a secret.

Meta: Wouldn't you miss your family?

Michelle: You know that would be the hardest part. You should have seen Rick's face when I told him. He was so excited. But if Danny finds out and he knows that I'm carrying his child, forget it, he's going to be all over me.

Meta: So, you're gonna run?

Michelle: No. Well I'm going to protect myself and my child.

Meta: For how long? Hon, if you leave now will you ever be able to come home?

Michelle: Of course I will.

Meta: When? If you show up in a year, won't Danny wonder about this new child of yours? If you run now, you'll never stop.

Michelle: I really don't think you understand what I'm up against.

Meta: I think I have a pretty good idea and I can imagine the rest. I can see how frightened you are and that is the best reasonI know for you to stay right here. Face it now. If you don't If you don't hold your ground now while you have friends and family to help and protect you, Danny will run your life no matter where you go. Honey, whatever you do, just don't do it from a place of fear. That's not who you are. That's not who we are.

Michelle: Bauer power, huh?

Meta: Something like that.

Michelle: Do we get secret strength, energy, pills with that at all?

Meta: No. You get a free babysitter morning, noon, or night. Any hour of the day. And Uncle Rick. He'll be right there.

Michelle: Uncle Rick! He's gonna be the best.

Meta: yes he is. Sweetheart I don't want to try to give you pie in the sky that's not what I'm promising. I know, Being a single mother is a hard job. There will be rough times ahead. But it is doable.

Michelle; Yeah it is. Okay, I probably have to get out of here. I have to meet Claire at the hospital to settle the matter. So, at least I know what to say.

Meta: Tell her to stick it in her ear.

Michelle: Something like that.

Meta: Hey, I'm happy for you.

Michelle: Thanks.

Meta: And Bauer babies are mighty pretty.

Michelle: Bye. (And walks out of the Bauer kitchen.)

Okay, so since Anna Stuart has been bandied about the boards lately, does anyone remember this one scene where she ripped Carlos a new one in the Fusion office? I used to know the whole damn thing by heart, because it was so hilariously bitchy and great. And per usual, Anna Stuart sold it. I think this is it, but I may be missing a few lines:

It started out like, "And you're just interested in a romance with a little rich white girl aren't you? Well don't fool yourself poncho because Greenlee is going to drop you the second she meets a halfway decent man who doesn't walk around wearing a T-shirt with his name on it. You are not good enough for my daughter, you were not good enough the day you were born and you never will be!"

The whole speech was delivered with such gusto and arrogance and Anna Stuart totally sold it. And afterward, she turns around and fiercely exits. Max Anderson(the "actor" who played Carlos) usually tried to evoke some kind of emotion, but when Anna Stuart's Mary got done chewing his ass out, he just stood there, motionless, like there was no way he could respond to it. It was as if his pride was hurt and there was no way in hell Max Anderson was that good of an actor.

Am I missing any of it? Does anyone have a clip of this gem of a scene?

I absolutely LOVED this scene. Does anyone know if there is a copy of it on YouTube or somewhere out there? I've searched all over for it and no such luck!

[Y&RWorldTurner]

I would LOVE to see this!

[rangethatrover]

It used to be. Check the poster "itsmandykimper'- or email her at youtube- she is a HUGE Dickson fan/buff and I know she posted that scene at one time

[Y&RWorldTurner]

mandykimper is like the biggest Dickson fanboy EVER. Lots of Dickson clips are on YouTube from him.

[CSF]

Yeah, he didn't have that video posted so I sent him a message. Hopefully he has it somewhere.

Thanks range for letting me know where to check!

[CSF]

I've found it!!!

Range and Y&RWorldTurner, THANKS SOOOOO MUCH!!!!

Y&R Kay and Jill scene

[MarkH]

So, I watched this religiously back then (as now). But I never picked up on Jill being QUITE this much of a classic-camp-Diva. Honestly, I think she was kind of "normal" for an 80s soap villainous. Now, I watch this, and she's like a freakin' Jessica Rabbit cartoon.

Somebody's reading cue cards...

[brimike]

LOL! There was a lot of that during this era. At every soap.
