Favorite Lines of Dialogue Ever!


Recommended Posts

  • Members

One of my most favorite pieces of dialogue comes from the famous Country Club confrontation scenes between Roger and Alexandra on GL in the early 90's. Beverlee McKinsey was FIERCE, and the woman was robbed of an Emmy numerous times in her career.

Alexandra: "Oh yes, PLEASE INDULGE ME. There's A LOT I need to say before the LEGAL proceedings begin. I'm afraid I'm going to be in court a VERY long time. You see, not only do we have the divorce, we have this matter of embezzlement. It seems my husband's personal attorney and confidant has been arrested for embezzling funds from the Spaulding Foundation. MILLIONS, and wouldn't you know? NONE OF IT can be found in his possession. So, we're working very hard, putting it all together - how he could've gotten into Spaulding, gained access to the money, and most IMPORTANTLY - WHO HAS IT NOW? So, ugh, as my schedule is going to be quite full for the foreseeable future, I decided to invite all of you here tonight to make my apologies:

I'm sorry I ever brought this man into your midst. I know that except for MY SUPPORT, he would've been a PARIAH in this town, and for VERY GOOD REASONS.

Ed, I'm sorry for reviving painful memories and brining you any new problems at Cedars.

To Holly I apologize for taking advantage of our friendship and for and for giving SANCTUARY to this man who RAPED YOU.

Ross, you saw it all so clearly and I wouldn't listen to you. Sorry I was so STUPID and careless with your happiness.

And to my beloved Henry, I apologize for all pain, and financial loss you have been forced to endure. I owe you a great deal Henry, you and Alan-Michael. For finally opening my eyes.

Aw, Fletch, if only we ended up on another island all those years ago, things would have been so different.

There are other here, TO WHOM I MAKE NO APOLOGIES. THOSE OF YOU WHO TRUSTED AND BELIEVED IN ROGER HAVE ONLY YOURSELVES TO BLAME!"

Victor: When you finally get it through your head, Jack, that I was asked by your sister, a high officer of this company, to help her save this company from going bankrupt. I am here to do that job whether you like it or not. And I'm going to sit in the chair that you're sitting in right now.....I like it....I want you out of it....and I want me in it.

Jack: You like this chair? You want this chair? (throws the chair into the window) Have a seat.....on me!

Oh, how could I forget Alexis' stunning breakdown at Kristina's funeral on GH!?!? In those scenes alone, she said what the GH audience was thinking for YEARS. Nancy Lee Grahn was BLATANTLY ROBBED of an Emmy.

Alexis (to Roy): Hi Roy! I mean, what can I say about Roy, really? Professional snitch? Second-rate club owner? And I'm sorry that you're a gangster wannabe. He just needs a little practice, that's all, because in a matter of weeks he staged a war with a dangerous man, planted a BOMB that went off and killed the wrong person, although you did run in there for a daring rescue, which was a really nice touch and I'm sure my sister would've really appreciated that - HAD SHE LIVED!

Alexis (to Jason): JASON! WHERE ARE YOU?!? Jason Morgan, there you are. EVERYBODY (Alexis sings), BAW, BAW, BLACK SHEEP. Don't expect him to sing, HE BARELY SPEAKS. He's the silent son who walked away from his family who STILL so DESPERATELY LOVES HIM. You know, I bought your routine Jason, I bought it for a LONG TIME, which is why I used my CONSIDERABLE legal skills to keep you out of prison so many times, but you want us all to believe that you do what you do to PROTECT the poor and the unfortunate and the misunderstood, but in truth YOU'RE A COMMON THUG WHO WOULD DO ANYTHING TO PROTECT HIS BOSS. YOU'RE A PUPPIT, YOUR AN ERRANG BOY, YOU'RE A SHADOW, YOU'RE NOTHING - YOU THINK NOTHING OF GOING AFTER ANYONE WHOSE WEAKER THAN YOU, LESS EXPERIENCED THAN YOU, CAUGHT OFF GUARD OR PREFERABLY STANDING IN THE DOCK AT THE DEAD OF NIGHT - JASON MORGAN PROFESSIONAL, STRICTLY TAKING ORDERS FROM HIS BOSS SONNY CORINTHOS!

Alexis (to Sonny): You must be SO PROUD of your right hand boy. He's like family, AND WE ALL KNOW WHAT FAMILY MEANS TO YOU. I'm afraid that we haven't made our Sonny VERY HAPPY. But not to worry, NO ONE EVER HAS. BUT MANY HAVE DIED TRYING! Do you think you're THE ONLY PERSON WHO UNDERSTANDS FAMILY!? My family, the Cassidines, were staging DEADLY VENDETTAS while YOUR ANCESTORS WERE WORKING OUR FIELDS WITH THE OTHER PEASANTS. I COULD in the honor of my family tradition, DECLARE REVENGE ON YOU. I could place a CURSE ON YOU. I could VOW TO MAKE YOU PAY. But that would be REDUNDANT. And it certainly WOULDN'T BE NECESSARY, BECAUSE YOU ARE ALREADY CURSED. YOU BRING DEATH WHEREEVER YOU GO. No, seriously, I almost lost my life TWICE, simply because I was just standing TOO CLOSE TO HIM. But I survived, UNLIKE YOUR MOTHER, or LILY, or her UNBORN CHILD, or BRENDA, or YOUR UNBORN CHILD

Alexis (to Carly): Carly, when you lie down next to him at night - don't you ever wonder if you're gonna wake up!? BECAUSE ONE DAY YOU WON'T.

OR YOU (pointing to JASON), or YOU (pointing to ROY). You will ALL FALL DEAD WITH HONOR AT THE FEET OF SONNY CORINTHOS. BUT GUESS WHAT!? HE WILL NEVER FALL. THAT'S HIS CROWNING ACHIEVEMENT! EVEYONE DIES AROUND HIM, YET HE IS THE ONE THAT ALWAYS LIVES! I MEAN REALLY, ISN'T IT AMAZING!? ISN'T IT EXTRAORDINARY!? I MEAN IT'S JUST UNBELIEABLE! IT IS SO UNBELIEVABLE THAT I FEEL COMPELLED TO GIVE YOU A PRIZE!

Alexis offers Sonny Kristina's ashes and says: SO HERE, TAKE IT! YOU KILLED HER, YOU EARNT IT! Put it on YOUR mantle and REMEMBER what you've done and WHO PAYED THE PRICE! TAKE IT!!!!!

Alexis Carrington (to the camera, chest convulsing in dramatic breathing as she wipes away a tear) :

Oh no Blake, I may have lost you now but I am not going to lose everything. Oh no....OH NOOO.." <cue dramatic music and freeze frame>

Erica Kane: "I don't need DNA, I have K-A-N-E!"

One random thing I will never forget is on OLTL Cassie and her boyfriend Rob Coronal (played by old EoN hunk Mark Arnold) were off looking for clues in Lord Henry's castle or something and Bo was trying to locate them and he was describing them to someone"

"she is blahblahblah, he looks like an underwear model".

on GH, Scotty and Heather, the couple based on evil are in bed:

"Scotty, you're hurting me"

"Good."

"You love me? ... If this is being loved by you, I'd rather be Shane." (Jake to Vicky, Another World, 1998, when Jake is questioning Vicky in the courtroom at Jake's arraignment for negligent homicide in the death of Shane Roberts, after Jake found out Vicky lied to him about where she was the night Shane and her father Michael died in a car crash)

"Run, Matthew, don't walk. And count your money when you leave." (Donna Love to Matt Cory regarding Lila, Another World, 1998)

Good Lord! NLG should have ad libbed a "GET YOUR [!@#$%^&*] HAND OFF OF ME!" at the end.

Here is perhaps my #1 favorite 90210 scene. Dylan and Kelly first tell Brenda that Dylan has made his choice between the two of them and he chooses Kelly. Then, they tell her that they were together during the summer while she was in Paris.

Kelly: Brenda, please try to understand how much you mean to us, all right?

Dylan: I know this is hard for you, Bren, it's hard for all of us.

[Kelly puts her hand on Brenda's shoulder]

Brenda: DON'T touch me. Look, Dylan, you have made your choice, and I have to deal with that, and I should have seen it coming, but I don't have to stand here and listen to any more of this. I'm going home, okay?

Kelly: No, Brenda, we have to tell you something else.

Brenda: Well, I don't want to hear it, I have heard enough!

Dylan: Well, you're gonna have to, Bren, because neither one of us can stand to lie to you anymore!

Kelly: This summer, while you were in Paris...

Dylan: Look, I told you I was with a girl, right? Kelly was the girl.

Brenda [shocked]: I thought you guys were my friends! I loved you, I trusted you both!

Kelly: Brenda, please!

Dylan: We didn't plan this, Bren.

Brenda: No, of course you didn't plan it, Dylan, you just let it happen! And you lied to me! Both of you, for months and months! You know, when I broke up with you, you made it seem like Kelly was just some girl you picked to go out with! You made it seem so innocent, like it was my fault!

Kelly: Neither of us wanted to hurt you!

Brenda: You didn't care about how I felt at all, Kelly!!

Dylan: That's not true.

Brenda: ........did you two sleep together?

Kelly: No!!

Brenda: And why should I believe you?

Dylan: Because it's the truth, Bren!

Brenda: Why are you doing this to me!?

Dylan: Because we OWE it to you, Bren. I mean, don't you think that we all owe ourselves something more than this, then maybe we can start again from some place a little more honest?

Brenda: Honesty?! Is that what you think this is about, Dylan? I don't think so. Look, I hate you both, never talk to me again!!

(Shannen Doherty struts away, her enormous behind shifting from side to side, as Kelly continues to care about no one but herself)

"Mrrrrrpphhhh mrrrph" - Victor Newman.

After Victor saved Jack from the "Palm Springs" as Tammin Suresucks called it lol / "Clear Springs" collapse, he said something like "you have the nerve to accuse me of murder after I saved your life? I should have left you there, choking in the dust"

jinx, did you used to be a member over at WoST? I too have always remembered that line of Dixie's about keeping her eyes open for the snakes, and I had a conversation with someone over at WoST about it. :D

Dorian (swimming in white mink tails, after her divorce hearing with Herb): Do I look 'wounded'? Not today...

Viki to a recently deceased Megan: You're cold baby, you're cold. :(

Erica Kane: Barbara, I don't even like the name Barbara.

Victor Newman: Iwilldoevrytsinginmahpaaaaaaa.../Matt Claaahhhk! Ya PUNK!

I don't remember it exactly, but I actually used this for an audition monologue once when I was unprepared :P:lol::P:lol: ...

Abby to Paige on Knots: I'm so flattered that you want to be like me. But don't flatter yourself into thinking that we're at all alike. Everything I have, I've earned. Everything you have, you've been given. And I know it *galls* you, it galls someone of your stature to see someone like me have what you thought was yours by birth. People like you are threatened by people like me, because deep down you're afraid you won't be able to *cut it* without your trust fund. And you know what? You're right. (turning before exiting) You know, I never would have set myself up the way you just set yourself up.

I could be here all day quoting Alexis' one liners on Dynasty. "It's called style Sable, some of us have it, some of us... haven't."
