Quotes 

• Fallon Carrington Colby : How could she hate a man like you? A wonderful man like you?

  Blake Carrington : [dryly]  Hm, hard to fathom, isn't it?

• Blake Carrington : Get your hand off of me!

  Ty Meredith : Or what, sir? More manslaughter?

  Jeff Colby : Or just a punch in the gut! And I'd be happy to deliver it for him.

• Alexis Carrington : You still despise me, don't you?

  Blake Carrington : That's a good enough word.

• Blake Carrington : And you want Michael hired back, and Jospeh scolded?

  Fallon Carrington Colby : Well, I said reprimanded, but scolded will do just fine.

  Blake Carrington : Well, you lose this one, Fallon.

  Fallon Carrington Colby : What does that mean?

  Blake Carrington : Joseph was simply carrying out my orders. The decision to fire my chauffeur and your... in-house stud was mine.

  Fallon Carrington Colby : Michael paid for his mistakes. Why did you have to fire him? Why?

  Blake Carrington : Because he was lazy and inept, that's why.

• Blake Carrington : I control Denver Carrington with the proxies of the shareholders who trust me. How long are they going to trust a man who's been branded a killer?

• Blake Carrington : There's got to be a better way. Can I change?

  Krystle Carrington : You have the strength to do anything you want. Do you know what I want? I want to go back to bed. Your bed.

• Krystle Carrington : Look, I have a husband, you have a husband. I stay out of your marriage, stay out of mine.

  Fallon Carrington Colby : Is that an order?

  Blake Carrington : Alright now, that is enough. This is still my house, and from now on it's going to be a united house. If you want to continue to live in it, Fallon, you better get that straight.

  [Blake and Krystle walk away] 

  Jeff Colby : Bravo.

  Fallon Carrington Colby : Oh, are we at the opera? Did the fat lady sing her high C and expire gloriously?

  Jeff Colby : Your father is going through one of the roughest times of his life, and you attack Krystle for loving and supporting him?

  Fallon Carrington Colby : Gimme a break, Jeff.

  [pivots to walk away, Jeff grabs her arm and pulls her back] 

  Fallon Carrington Colby : Oh, are you gonna punch me in the gut or something equally spectacular? I mean, I was impressed.

  Jeff Colby : Can't you understand that she loves him? The way I love you. And the way you should love me.

• Blake Carrington : Alright, you came back, you said what you had to both here and in the courtroom. Now please leave. This office. This building. And this city.

  Alexis Carrington : Blake, I go or I stay where I choose.

• Blake Carrington : And from now on this family's gonna shape up.

  Fallon Carrington Colby : Take on a new look and stance? The morally upright Carringtons, is that it?

  Blake Carrington : That's exactly it.

  Fallon Carrington Colby : The judge put you on probation, not me.

  Blake Carrington : Fallon, I will ignore that because I know you didn't mean it. But from now on you're going to learn to behave decently if it kills you. I don't need a carbon copy of your mother in this house, and that's what you are sometimes. And it sickens me, do you hear? It sickens me!

• Krystle Carrington : This morning you talked about the whole family being united, and yesterday in court, when Steven came up to you, he tried...

  Blake Carrington : Not that again, dammit! Twice in one day from both wives? Now, that's enough! Krystle, the last subject on earth I want to hear another word about are my children. So help me, there are times I wish I never had them!

  Krystle Carrington : You can't mean that?

  Blake Carrington : I do mean it. I mean it from my soul.

• Blake Carrington : Don't you walk away from me, I'm your father!

  Steven Carrington : With a father like you, I'd rather be an orphan!
