Quotes 

• Blake Carrington : Of course. I forgot. The American Psychiatric Association has decided that it's no longer a disease. That's too bad; I could have endowed a foundation. The Steven Carrington Institute for the Treatment and Study of Faggotry. Now, if you'll excuse me, I've got to go get married.

• Krystle Carrington : Haven't I seen him on television?

  Blake Carrington : Jerry Henderson? Of course you have. Best congressman money can buy.

• Andrew Laird : [about Matthew Blaisdel]  He'll, eh, transfer at Kennedy, arrive at Stapleton International tomorrow morning at ten A.M.

  Blake Carrington : [grunts]  Have his plane shot down over Kansas.

  Andrew Laird : [pause]  Eh, forgive my stupidity, Blake, but, eh, is that some kind of a joke?

  Blake Carrington : [Grumbling]  Yeah, it's a joke, I guess.

• Fallon Carrington : [after being thrown off her horse into the water]  I know you, Blake Carrington, you paid that horse to dump me.

  Blake Carrington : I didn't have to pay him, he works for me.

  Fallon Carrington : [panting]  Is there anybody in Colorado who doesn't work for you?

  Blake Carrington : Oh, a few people, but not for long.

• Blake Carrington : And would it make you feel more comfortable if I divested myself of all my holdings? If I gave away every penny I've got?

  Krystle Jennings : That wouldn't make any difference.

  Blake Carrington : You're right, it wouldn't. Because if I started from dead scratch tomorrow, I'd have a million dollars by the end of the year and ten million by the year after that.
