Tracy Quartermaine : Hmm. Fallen off the wagon, have we? What's your excuse this time? Jax doesn't love me, never did? Luke doesn't love me? I'm not a real Quartermaine? I have no friends, no life?
Skye Quartermaine Jacks : What do you want?
Tracy Quartermaine : I want you gone.
Skye Quartermaine Jacks : Oh, my God. It was you, wasn't it? You were the one who sent me the drink at the casino last night.
Tracy Quartermaine : Tasted like heaven, didn't it?
Skye Quartermaine Jacks : Wow. I must have you running scared.
Edward Quartermaine : Well, good, good, good - the two people I most want to see.
Skye Quartermaine Jacks : Well, now I know you're lying.
Edward Quartermaine : I guess you've heard that I'm changing my will. I'm leaving everything to anyone who can save E. L. Q.
Skye Quartermaine Jacks : You're trying to eliminate the competition.
Edward Quartermaine : Why? What's she done now?
Skye Quartermaine Jacks : You don't really believe Tracy can save E. L. Q. do you?
Tracy Quartermaine : Why bother with your real daughter when you can give everything away to a drunken Quartermaine wannabe?

Edward Quartermaine : Dillon?
Dillon Quartermaine : Why am I here?
Edward Quartermaine : So that I can apologize to you.
Dillon Quartermaine : For what?
Edward Quartermaine : For not spending enough time with you during your mother's recent absence.
Dillon Quartermaine : My Mom's been back for six months.
Edward Quartermaine : Dillon, what you need to understand, son, is that Lila and I practically raised Ned, and I thought that with your mother as your only role model that you were going to turn out to be a viper, like she is, but I - I was mistaken, you have potential.
Dillon Quartermaine : OK, now you're freaking me out.
Edward Quartermaine : No, no.
Dillon Quartermaine : Yeah.
Edward Quartermaine : You stand for what you believe. You're young. You got a lot to learn. But you do. You stand for what you believe and you have a strength of convictions, and you have that in spades.
Dillon Quartermaine : Yeah, and I thought you had no use for me.
Edward Quartermaine : Well, you thought wrong you give me a few years, and you could be C. E. O. of E. L. Q. huh?
Dillon Quartermaine : E. L. Q. ?
Edward Quartermaine : Well, sure. It's your legacy. Providing you keep your mother away form the helm. You see, I can revise my will so that you could get the lion's share of my estate, hmm?
Dillon Quartermaine : I don't know what to say.
Edward Quartermaine : Well, you might try yes or thank you.
Dillon Quartermaine : Listen - no, thanks.
Edward Quartermaine : What?
Dillon Quartermaine : I'm going to be an independent filmmaker.
Edward Quartermaine : An independent what?
Dillon Quartermaine : Yeah, so, you can go back to calling me names, like derelict and good-for-nothing now, OK?
Tracy Quartermaine : Sweetheart, have you been sniffing that hair product?
Dillon Quartermaine : Later, Mom.
Edward Quartermaine : Well, congratulations, Tracy. Another splendid product of your parenting expertise. Peterpan with a movie camera.

Nikolas Cassidine : What's happening?
Lucky Spencer : The wind is too strong. They'll try again when it gets - when it dies down.
Tracy Quartermaine : They can't! The building is burning down below us!
Justice Ward : This wind is making the fire worse inside!
Edward Quartermaine : We have to be patient! The helicopter will evacuate us as soon as it's possible!
Tracy Quartermaine : If any of us are still alive!

Tracy Quartermaine : Why don't you sit down and rest, Daddy? Let others do the worrying.
Edward Quartermaine : Spare me the phony concern.
Tracy Quartermaine : Jeez, Daddy, we're trapped in a burning building. We may not make it out alive. What possible reason would I have to be phony? I love you. Why do you let everybody in but me?
Edward Quartermaine : Because you frighten me, Tracy. You always have. When I look at you, I see the worse of myself.
Tracy Quartermaine : Well, I've succeeded, all I ever wanted was to be just like you.

Edward Quartermaine : Oh, Emily, I can't tell you how grateful I am that you're safe.
Emily Quartermaine : You must be a whole lot happier now that Nikolas is gone.
Edward Quartermaine : No, Emily, now, you know that I opposed your engagement to Nikolas. But I...
Emily Quartermaine : That hotel was a firetrap, and you knew it! You could have stopped what happened. Nikolas died because of you!
