Quotes 

  • Alexis : Why are you here in Denver Ms. Devereaux?

    Dominique Deveraux : Merely to see in person what I have heard so much about.

    Alexis : Such as?

    Dominique Deveraux : That Alexis Colby is one of the world's most ravishing beauties. I'd buy that. That she lives in a showplace penthouse. It is exquisite.

    Alexis : Thank you - Anything else?

    Dominique Deveraux : You adore the south of France, even though you are prone to sea sickness on yachts.

    Alexis : Only small yachts

    Dominique Deveraux : You were kicked out of a boarding school in Gstaad and spent several months as an artist's model in Hamburg of all places.

    Alexis : Wrong it was Brussels of all places and all of this is pure trivia.

    Dominique Deveraux : Alright on a deeper level, you are extremely vulnerable when it comes to your children and extremely ruthless when it comes to your enemies. and there are quite of few of those hanging about.

    [she takes a sip of champagne] 

    Dominique Deveraux : It's burned!

    Alexis : Is it?

    Dominique Deveraux : The champagne was obviously frozen in the bottle at some point.

    Alexis : If the champagne is too burned for your taste, don't drink it. The caviar I trust is not burned.

    Dominique Deveraux : I really wouldn't know. You see that is Ostatrova and I prefer Petrossian Beluga.

    Alexis : [angry]  Who the hell are you, anyway?

    Dominique Deveraux : Who am I? You will find out very soon. Very soon.

    [she rises and begins to leave] 

    Dominique Deveraux : You said this wasn't going to be a social evening. So, whatever it was, I enjoyed myself thoroughly. Thank you, Mrs. Colby.

    [Dominique turns and leaves. When she reaches the elevator, she turns back and says] 

    Dominique Deveraux : Ciao... For now!

  • Alexis : Well, l've turned down your very generous offer before, and l'm gonna turn it down again.

    Blake Carrington : l'm not here to borrow, l'm here to sell, Alexis.

    Alexis : l'd like to talk to you about a certain shale oil extraction process that my company owns. Shale oil? Why should l bother with that?

    Blake Carrington : Because l know that your company has 1 50,OOO acres of shale oil leases that are unproductive and useless without my process. And l would consider selling it, if you were interested in making an offer.

    Alexis : You're so terribly out of touch, Blake. So terribly misguided in your thinking my company can afford to plant daisies in that acreage. So l'm afraid that my offer for your process is zero.

    Blake Carrington : Don't you ty to bluff me, Alexis.

    Alexis : l don't have to bluff you, Blake. Gone are the days when you were king of my fate, when you exiled me from my children and threw me out of Denver.

    Blake Carrington : And l had a damn good reason for doing it, and you know it.

    Alexis : Good reason? You're at somebody else's mercy now. You're finally getting a taste of your own medicine. And when it becomes too bitter for you, when you start to cough and choke on it, then you'll be back to accept the only offer that l'm ever going to make.
