Favorite Lines of Dialogue Ever!

[DaytimeFan]

Oh there is another good one involving Erica Kane and Barbara Montgomery...

Erica: Enchantment Inc...My goodness, well what do you think the name Erica Kane means but enchantment and romance and passion but Erica Kane also stands for spirit and sophistication and glamor

Barbara: Try failure, your last product line bearing your name sank faster than the Titanic.

Erica: Why don't we name it after you: Raging Bitch!

The KL monologue is a great one. Abby was such a confident woman!

And yes, the one liners Joan Collins got to say on D could fill a phone book and each one of them is awesome. Her delivery was half the fun.

[SFK]

That's just it DaytimeFan, it's all about the delivery. I was sitting here thinking of my fav lines, but some of them weren't "lines" at all, just very memorable delivery or physical tics that tickled me to death. Joan is a pro at this, but Robin Strasser is a master. There's really no way that we could create a viable thread on this subject, I mean Youtube is great, but it doesn't always deliver. We need the video to show what exactly we're talking about. There are some little things that Robin as Dorian has done with her mouth that I have never forggotten... okay, that sounds scandalous, but I mean her little tics and grimaces, some of them have become a part of my everyday life.

How could I forget the best, greatest, spectacular scene in soap opera history bar none? Alexis and evil Cecil Colby in bed (he was even meaner than she was), when he has the heart attack during sex.

"Cecil, don't you die on me! " (starts smacking him to snap out of his heart attack) "I need you! I need you to get Blake! Cecil!...Cecil!"

Greatest scene ever from any soap opera this side of Alpha Centauri.

I loved Cecil Colby. He was just so mean, snide to everybody for no reason except he starred on a soap. Dynasty killed him off far too soon.

Some of my faves from 90210(original)

Valerie: Dylan, hello? It's me.

Dylan: Gotta remember to lock that door.

Valerie: You alone? Cause if not, I'll go.

Dylan: What if I am, will you still go?

Valerie: Look, I just wanna talk to you.

Dylan: I think you've done enough talking lately.

Valerie: I don't know what you mean.

Dylan: I mean I got a visit from Jim Walsh I could live without.

Valerie: Can I help it if he got a fax about you and started nosing around?

Dylan: You don't gotta give me crap about a fax, I know you told him that I'm broke. You don't lie very well, I hate a liar

Valerie: Well you've been lieing to everyone for months. Pretending your still richie rich. Why were you trying to hide it anyway it was only a matter of time.

Dylan: So what, you do me a big favor by expediting the inevitable? I don't think so, I think your mad cause you caught me with a girl in here the other night.

Valerie: You don't know how intimidating Jim Walsh can be.

Dylan: Oh I know exactly how intimidating Jim Walsh can be. What he do, bully ya?

Valerie: What am I supposed to do, I'm living in his house?

Dylan: Hey, you could stand up to him. I mean Bren did. In fact she got pretty good there at the old end, you know, standing up to big Jim.

Valerie: You know, the Walshes were really concerned about you.

Dylan: Yeah, well if they cared so much, tell me this, why was I never good enough for their daughter huh, at least Brenda, had the guts to call em on it.

Valerie: You know, I am not, Brenda. I will never be Brenda. DON'T TALK TO ME ABOUT BRENDA!

Dylan: No, your not Brenda, your just pretending to be, and I think you like it, I think you like living in Brenda's house, you like sleeping in Brenda's bed, ya got Brenda's brother, and BRENDA'S parents, all that in that nice cozy little package, instant family!

Valerie: What's wrong with that?

Dylan: Nothin.

Kelly: Hi, come on in, we were just talking about you. Congratulations, you got a call back.

Brenda: Yeah, I saw your name up there too, pretty surprised.

Donna: Hi Bren!

Brenda: Hi. All last week, when I was helping you find the nerve to audition, remember? You told me you were going out for the part of May.

Kelly: I was, but then Roy Randolph asked me to read for Maggie.

Brenda: And I suppose he asked you out for coffee after the audition too.

Kelly: Yeah, he did, and everybody else who was still stuck there.

Brenda: Oh if Roy Randolph forced you into it, why didn't you tell me?

Kelly: Honestly, I was afraid of how you would react.

Brenda: Stab me in the back and I bleed.

Donna: Um, you guys, could you keep it down, your scaring the puppy.

Kelly: What do you expect me to do Brenda, drop out? Make more room for you?

Brenda: Kelly, it's not your part.

Kelly: What makes you think you own it?

Brenda: Why don't you get a life of your own, and stop trying to steal mine?

Kelly: I've got a life of my own.

Brenda: Yeah, I know all about it.

[DaytimeFan]

detroitpiston's clips reminded me of how Michelle Phillip's played Valerie's mom on 90210, damn she was a hoot.

And yes, the Alexis & Cecil sexdeath scene is THE best scene in soap history to infinity.

"Don't you die on me!"

:lol:

[All My Shadows]

Oh god, Maggie the effin Cat. Brenda should have destroyed the entire community of Beverly Hills.

LMAO! Love that episode. It reminds me of a short, but sweet, Erica/Nick Davis exchange:

Erica: If you leave out that door, I'll never speak to you again! You'll never see me.

Nick [hurrying to the door]: That, my dear, is precisely the idea!

[S&BFanForLife]

GH:

Ric Lansing: I'm just doing what the people of this town paid me to do.

Alexis Davis Cassadine: Then the people deserve a refund.

------------

Helena Cassadine: They don't keep people like us in hell, dear, we'd end up running the place.

Samantha McCall: What's with the injured-wife routine? You betrayed your husband with another man, his worst enemy, if I've got my facts straight. Sonny's done with you, he's free. So am I. There is nothing left to say.

Carly Corinthos: OK, well, I wouldn't get all comfy and cozy with Sonny, if I were you. Has be bothered to mention Brenda yet? Because the two of you look enough alike to be sisters. Same height, same build, same dark hair. Although Brenda's was more stylish, but I'm sure that Sonny did not notice that difference in the dark.

Samantha McCall: Wow, you are some nasty little b!tch.

Carly Corinthos: No, actually, I'm being pretty nice and I imagine that the resemblance to Brenda was also the hook for Jax.

Samantha McCall: OK, now you're stretching.

Carly Corinthos: You'll probably have more time with Sonny than you did Jax because Sonny is a practical man. Brenda's gone. So am I. You'll do for now, but don't think that you're in it for the long haul, because you will lose Sonny just the same way you lost out on Jax.

Samantha McCall: Oh, yeah? Why is that?

Carly Corinthos: Because you're not Brenda. No one is. Brenda the illusive ghost she is. She's incandescent. Oh, she unattainable and unforgettable and Sonny and Jax, they have her so high up on a pedestal, you cannot see her until she comes back down and is in your face. And let me tell you something else - she always comes back. Always. So, you may be sharing Sonny's bed right now, but just do yourself a favor and never forget that you are a substitute, and you always will be.

From Youtube- Y&R 1983, Brenda Dickson as Jill. Marla Adams as Dina Mergeron. One of her Brenda's first episodes back in the role- and one of Marla's early shows too. She recently witnessed Dina at the Abbott mansion talking to Mamie about old times and how she is so thrilled that the house looks exactly as she left it before she left Genoa City. This scene I think is at a hotel restaurant where Dina is staying. Dina is in the dining room drinking coffee and Jill sits down for a nice little chat:

Dina:What do you want Jill?

Jill:Well Dina dear, I don't want anything, Life couldn't be sweeter.

D:Well why don't you sweeten my life and leave, hmm?

J:But I'm here to help you.

D:God forbid.

J:I'm here to help you bury your past, including your relationship with the Abbott family.

D:What are you getting at?

J:Its important Dina, It's important for you to realize that you no longer have a connection to the Abbott home, MY HOME now.

All signs of you are being erased.

Beginning with THESE. (Throws some photos on the table)

D:What in the world?

J:They are photographs of you....

...I cut them out of OUR albums. They don't belong there anymore.

D:Well.. you've delivered your usual dose of venom, so why don't you just go, hmm?

J:No, I think I owe your more proof for your own sake.

D:Proof of WHAT?

J:Proof that your past as Mrs. John Abbott is not only out of sight, but out of mind....

John and I are REDECORATING. ELIMINATING- every last trace of your presence from our home.

You know those relics you called furniture? They're going Dina, ALL OF THEM. I'm calling the Salvation Army to come get them. I MAY have to PAY them... Unless you would like to come over and pick up a few pieces for yourself?... But do call first, darling.

D:Is that it?

J:Hmmm. I just thought you should know in case you are harboring any pathetic thoughts of worming your way back into my husbands life.

D:How nice for your SON... I recall you had one somewhere.

J:But of course! My son ADORES his private school and he knows his mother is just a phone call away. He doesn't have the slightest fear that I'll run off and desert him as you did YOUR children".

MEOOOOOOOWWWWWWW!

Its on Youtube. BRILLIANT, bitchy 80's dialogue.

[Soapsuds]

I loved Jill's lines. It seemed that they always used the word "dear" with Jill.

[Paul Raven]

From Dallas,one of JR's many great lines:

To some female he was entangled with

"Darlin,you'd better hurry on back to your street corner before some other tramp takes your spot"

I think this was from the first ep

Sue-Ellen "JR,I want a baby!"

JR "I'll buy you a puppy"

I almost forgot my own favorites...

GL

Circa 1996:

Ross [to Dinah]: "Oh, for crying out loud, if everybody who Roger hurt jumped into bed together, everything would have to stop for the world's biggest orgy!"

Circa 1992: Holly and Blake have a strained conversation after Holly finds Blake and Ross in bed. It is Holly's birthday and Blake has come over to try to patch things up. Holly is drunk and keeps drinking wine.

Blake: Why do you have to do this?

Holly: It's medicinal darling. It's -- I can't sleep. I close my eyes and little images race across the back of my eyelids like tiny home movies.

Circa 1993: Holly has planned a party for Ed shortly after Cliff House. Roger has crashed the party looking for Holly after their romp at Cliff House and has made a seen. However, before he could tell Ed about their affair, the others convince him to leave.

Roger: Ed. You'll always be my hero.

Circa 1993: Nick and Mindy's engagement party

Alex: Well, I would feel remiss if I didn't offer my best wishes. I love my son very much and his happiness is all important to me because my son --

(Alex sees Roger enter the room, and instantly changes her tone.)

My son you see is one of those people who is truly capable of feeling and giving great joy as opposed to others, the takers in the world. Those who seem to derive some maniacal pleasure in paining and hurting others. Oh, there are those bloodless, heartless people in the world, who have no capacity to love or feel. Even their families aren't spared. No, they seem to wreck the greatest damage on them. But as I always say, nothing is forever. There is a judgement day and that judgement day is right here on Earth, not somewhere out there in the great beyond. So may you go to Hell tomorrow Roger!

Roger: I'll take Hell any day, it's gotta beat marriage to you. That's what this is all about. Come on, why don't you tell the good people why you hate me so much (Alex interupts with a "SHUT UP ROGER!") and why you're so unhappy with your son's choice of a wife. COME ON TELL THEM! You just can't stand losing yet another man to Mindy Lewis' bed!!

Nick: SHUT UP THORPE!

Dylan: Roger you slime! Satisfy your ego?

(Dylan runs up to fight with Roger on the balcony, yet Roger gets the upper hand and throws him off the end of the balcony. )

Roger: COME ON! Come on! Hey! (He pulls out a soepena) Let's talk about this. Let's talk about this soepena I've just been handed. You know this hearing tomorrow? Big battle for Spaulding? Nothing more than the raging sexual jealousy of a woman scorned! She can't forgive me for leaving her bed for Mindy's and I don't think there's an honest man in this joint who could blame me!

(Billy gets up on the table and kicks around some of the food.)

Want to rock and roll? Come on!

Alex: You letcher! All you ever cared about in your life was power!

Roger: And you loved the power I had over you. Didn't ya?! You thought I was your last chance at happiness. You know what? I was. Who'd love you now?

Alex: Happiness with you!? You couldn't make a DOG happy!

Roger: I lived a dog's life with you and how you put me through tricks lady. But draging me into your bedroom at all hours of the day to service you!

Alex: Well it's just too bad you weren't up to the job. All you ever wanted was someone to stroke your MASSIVE EGO!

Roger: Yeah right! Well I would get more comfort from a toothless STREET WHORE than I ever got from you!

Alex: WHO?! The whores you messed with didn't give you any comfort did they?!

Roger: Aww Nick, did you hear what mom just called your bride to be?

Nick: SHUT UP THORPE!

(Alex gets up on the balcony and slaps Roger. Roger backhands her, causing all hell to break loose as Nick and other Sprinfield residents attack him. The Lewis babysitter begins bringing baby Peter into the room)

Vanessa: MARY! MARY! Don't bring the baby in here!

Holly: No Billy No!

Billy: Don't mess with this Holly!

Holly: He doesn't deserve it. You want him to charge you with assault?

Billy: He is not gonna live long enough!

Holly: Look at your boy!You want him to see all Hell break loose in here? (SHe turns to Roger) Roger, get out of here! Go!

(AS Roger leaves, Dylan grabs his neck and Roger returns in kind before Ed pulls his hand off. Roger leaves the room.)

AW: Iris to Vivien after Vivien's suggestion of hot milk to help Iris sleep: Oh, I detest hot milk. Just the thought of it makes me nauseous.

Capitol: Moments after her marriage to Trey at the Jefferson Memorial, Sloane is sharing with Trey's parents Sam and Myrna the utter glee she felt when the officiant pronounced her "Mrs. Samuel Pearson Clegg!" Myrna (in that inimitable Marj Dusay way) through clenched grin quickly adds, "The third."

One of those "had to be there" moments, but Myrna was making it very clear that she was the Mrs. Samuel Pearson Clegg.

GH: Tracy to Lois after Lois tries to shame Tracy for not showing up to Lois and Ned's wedding: HhhAAA! I made an appearance at the first wedding, I made an appearance at the second wedding, and I plan on making an appearance at the fourth!

P.S. Dan, I love the way Marj says "playzhure" for "pleasure" in that scene. Plus, that flowing frock she's wearing is faboobulous!
