India to Mindy (while we are on the subject of hair) "Oh Mindy, it so nice to see you and you haven't changed a bit...you always had the most interesting, shade of hair!"

I loved India. She is sorely missed. I remember the last time she returned during Philip's collapse(going crazy story) The ex wives club.

Blake to Harley, while Harley is wearing metallic coat.. "Harley where did you get that coat, from Reva's closet??? It screams' Forty and Divorced!!!

:lol::lol:

One of my favorite ever Erica lines:

David- I was having a private conversation in the privacy of my office. I will not be subjected to this interrogation.

Erica- I'll bet Dixie knows. Dixie's been guarding your office like a poodle on steroids.

:lol: Picture Dixie circa 2000, and it's a perfect description.

My fave from Melrose Place

Kimberly: Now you get this clear you opportunistic little bitch! If anythings old news around here it's you, and if you think that shotgun marriage you arranged is gonna protect you, then you are dumber then you look. Now you stay the hell out of our lives, and you won't get hurt, OK?

Sydney: What? I'm supposed to be afraid of you?

Kimberly: My professional advice, you bet your ass!

Cue the classic MP background music!

And one of my favorite scenes from the new 90210

Annie: Just so I am clear, everything you have done, the whole shopping trip, flying Jason out here, all of that was just to set me up to ruin my birthday?

Naomi: Absolutely! If you want Ethan, you can have him. I wanted to see you miserable, and I got my wish.

Annie: That's sick.

Naomi: Oh don't give me that holier than thou routine, you're no innocent here.

Annie: OK, I should have told you about Ethan, I grant you that, I wanted to tell you.

Naomi: But you didn't did you? No instead you tried to play me for a fool you backstabbing, duplicitous, bitch!

Annie: OK, I was trying to spare you feelings, I knew you'd be upset, so I was trying to find the right time, but you didn't even like Jason, you just went after him to hurt me.

Naomi: You deserved it. I am so sick and tired of all you people who won't tell me the truth. First with my dad, and his mistress. And then my mother, and her son.

Annie(cutting in before she can finish): None of that was my fault!

Naomi: All I know, is that before you moved here, my life was perfectly fine.

Annie: No, before I moved here, You were just lieing to yourself, and getting away with it. You'd rather have people fear you then be honest with you. You are manipulative, and cruel, and the only person that you should be blaming for feeling so alone right now, is you.

Embarrassingly, I only remember the first half of the exchange, but last summer or fall Dorian got mad--reallllly mad--at David, and screamed the she could horsewhip him.

David had a beautiful comeback that made me laugh out loud, but I don't remember his exact words... something along the lines of, "How I've missed that" I think

Sit. Your Ass. DOWN.

:lol:

Great delivery by ED.

That was my favorite line by ED on Y&R in a LONG TIME!

ED as Susan Banks on Days

"Kristaaan, you are mean, mean, meeean!"

"I'm a real good girl John, I'm not like Kristen. I know she is mean, mean, mean "

For some reason, this great little piece with AMC's Adam and Marian from Thanksgiving 2004 came back to me today:

Marian storms into the Chandler mansion P-I-S-S-E-D! because Adam didn't invite Stuart to have dinner at the mansion, and so while she (along with Opal, Palmer, and Brooke!) are bitching him out hardcore, the front door slams, and Adam gets scared that it's Stuart.

Marian: What?! Scared, Adam!? Oh, don't worry! To keep his mind off the pain, Stuart's been baaaking all day! Twelve pumpkin pies! Nine apple pies! Just baaaaaaaaking all day!

I swear, it was JB's delivery of the "baking" that made it hilarious. I hope it's on YouTube somewhere.

Oh, it's so hard, but that's why GH's script writers are the absolute BEST! They slide sh*t in beneath the radar.

Yes, yes, yes. B) Heavens are ablaze with perfection these people deliver on a daily basis every single year. There are no rotten apples on that team and hardly any current - and many of the years past - can match the exquisite dialogue GH writers give us with each new episode.

Spectacular. :D

The perfection is even more visible given the unsurpassed amount of horrendous storytelling this soap has had in quite some time...

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!!!!!

"Who is upset that you're spending time with me? Who is possessive enough to get in a snit? Who is narcissistic enough to use a Felicia Gallant novel to make a point? . . . Felicia Gallant!"

God, I love early 90's GL dialogue! That whole era of the show felt you were just licking the rich history of the show, and the dialogue was no exception.

I was just watching a scene where Maureen barges into Holly's office and accuses Holly of having another affair with Ed, anyway things cool off and they start having a civil conversation. I LOVED Holly's dialogue about her relationships with men, so true, yet so tragic. LOL!

Holly (to Maureen): "I don't think men really love me, I think they get obsessed with me like I'm some DISEASE or something. Roger runs off and drags me through the jungles of Santa Domingo and Daniel makes me play a part in this sick parody of a wedding. THOSE are the kind of relationships I wind up in, and the good men like Ed and Ross, I throw them away. Look at what you have, you and Ed - you love each other, you respect one another, you're raising a child together and you're always the place where everybody goes to for warmth and comfort. You've got what EVERYONE WANTS."

It starts 2:26 into this clip:

Roger Thorpe's speech at Maureen's grave site is another one of my favourite pieces of dialogue.

Roger: "This is the first chance that I've had to come and say "goodbye" Maureen. I know you understand why I didn't come to the funeral. You were always trying to keep the peace and I seemed always to be breaking it somehow. You never judged me though, did you? You managed to find something worthwhile in me, something salvageable, even when I couldn't. This is gonna sound really crazy, but I used to picture what it would be like to live with you. You remember, of course you remember, that night of the Towers blackout, remember when we were trapped in the stairwell?

Did you know ... there was a moment when I had this uncontrollable impulse to just grab you and kiss you? I'm glad I didn't. You would not have received it well! It is so strange to me how all this developed between us, but your approval of me, your acceptance , came to matter to me so much. I can live with the hatred of all the burghers in this town, I can even relish it, but I never would've been able to stand yours.

Your generosity of spirit completely disarmed me Maureen. Thank you for liking me. It meant so much more to me than you knew. Things we never say when we have the chance, right?

Anyway, I hope you don't mind, but I'm gonna come visit every once in a while.

I surely am gonna miss you."
