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"

Jackie (to Stephanie, about Thorne): "You remember that other little boy who lived here when Ridge was growing up?"

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?

    • Christian Streaty wrote her second freelance script today on Days. Surprised they gave the first funeral episode to a newbie.  
    • And the third thing, which I have no cite for, and I may look to see if one is findable, but supposedly she said that the show had too much gay content in it. And, to be fair, that could be someone making a criticism about balance & not be bigotry but when it's added to the other, that's why it bugs people.

      The greatest tv series season finale in history.   
    • Mick Savage was sooo unbearable. And more unbearable was the reaction from the female characters to him - they were acting like he is God's gift to women and sooo irresistible. To a point of unbelievable cringe. 
    • Today was a short one. Only 33 minutes.  The ‘Part One’ graphic at the beginning was pretty interesting though. I didn’t expect them to do something like that.  I like how everything was focused around John and his family and friends. Again, the acting and the dialogue was very well done and well written. And I love that they were able to incorporate Drake’s, “swing for the fences” phrase into the script. It was nice seeing everyone interact with each other, especially characters who don’t often share scenes together. It felt like every character was part of a big family or community. Plus, an outdoor funeral in June makes a lot more sense than an outdoor funeral in December.  But yeah, it’s very, very strange that Will isn’t at the funeral, especially since we know that

      I would much rather he had been there today. And, where’s Anna too? And Jack and Jennifer? What was the point of bringing them all back if they weren’t going to attend the funeral? I expected Steve to want to close down BlackPatch, though I’d rather he just retire and let Paul take it over. But I like that Kayla was there to comfort him. I wonder if he’s going to change his mind at some point.  It was nice seeing Shane again too. Now, he just needs to have more scenes with his son lol but I enjoyed seeing him comfort Marlena. I’m not really sure about his interaction with Cat though? Was it really necessary for this to happen now, at John’s funeral? They could’ve waited a little longer to introduce this story arc.  Btw, was Tate bleeding from his head in his first scene with Arianna? 
    • This is the coldest early June in my life. It's like it's January.

    • Now this strikes me as funny. I have it up on my acct. The thing is I only have S2. Didn't want either 1 or 3.  Perhaps I should just list all of these that I have up.  Parodies: Dirty Sexy Money, Filthy Rich Incomplete: The Monroes, All That Glitters, Falcon Crest (have all just not all up), Once & Again S2 only Complete: Models Inc, Pasadena, Pacific Palisades, Paper Dolls, Flamingo Road  
    • This is wonderful! Thank you for posting this! I loved the first two seasons and never got to see the final season when they cancelled the DVD release. I've been hoping this popped up on streaming but no luck. Happy I'll finally get to see how it ended!
