- 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.
- Fallon Carrington: [about Blake] He used to be a fair judge of women. I think he suffered irreversible brain damage from breathing too much dime-store perfume.
- Fallon Carrington: [about Blake] He'd sell me into the harem of a sheik for three barrels of crude and a box of cigars.
- Fallon Carrington: Krystle, you remember Andrew Laird - Daddy's consiglieri.
- Andrew Laird: Fallon, that's not very funny.
- Fallon Carrington: Sorry. I thought that was Italian for attorney.
- Jehovah's Witness: Good afternoon. Do you know where you'll be spending eternity?
- Claudia Blaisdel: I'm sorry, I don't have the time right now.
- Jehovah's Witness: How do you know you won't be going to hell?
- Claudia Blaisdel: Because I've already been there.
- 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.
- Steven Carrington: [to Blake] How would you know anything about what I do or what I don't do? From the time mother left, I'm not sure you'd have known who I was if I didn't come into the house wearing a name tag.
- Claudia Blaisdel: [about their relationship] It's lousy, Matthew! It's got all the flash and fire of two snails mating.
- Matthew Blaisdel: Snails are hermaphroditic. They mate by themselves.
- Claudia Blaisdel: I'm beginning to understand why.
- Cecil Colby: I expect, bright as you are, you'll end up running your father's company.
- Fallon Carrington: Not likely. See, there's an unwritten law at Denver-Carrington. At the upper-management level there are no blacks, no jews, no Eskimos and... no women.
- Cecil Colby: Well, maybe I should give you a company to run. I'm sure I've got a couple of small ones lying around.
- Steven Carrington: Well, you know what Oscar Wilde said: "Work is the curse of the drinking classes".
- [holds up his glass]
- Jeff Colby: Clever man, Oscar Wilde, shame he was a homosexual.
- Fallon Carrington: [as she and her father lead the horses] And then I said to myself: "Would Daddy really appreciate a soccer player for a wedding present?" So I left him there. Besides, in his last game, he had his fibula broken in two places and he couldn't even...
- Blake Carrington: Now, now, now, Fallon, will you wind down for a minute, please? When we go back to the house, with your brother there and Krystle and all the confusion, we may not get another chance to talk.
- Fallon Carrington: Okay.
- Blake Carrington: Now, you know you're just about the most important thing in the world to me.
- Fallon Carrington: [petulant] Just about? You mean I've slipped to second place?
- Blake Carrington: Are you gonna give me a chance and listen to what I have to say?
- Fallon Carrington: Yes, I'll listen.
- [rests her head on his shoulder as they walk]
- Blake Carrington: I've asked Cecil Colby to bring his nephew to the wedding.
- Fallon Carrington: It's your wedding, invite anybody you like.
- Blake Carrington: His name is Jeff. He's just about your age.
- Fallon Carrington: Yes, I know him, Daddy. We went to summer camp together when we were eleven.
- Blake Carrington: Oh, well, I told Cecil that you'd act as sort of Jeff's *escort* for the day.
- Fallon Carrington: I see.
- [nods]
- Fallon Carrington: And have you already negotiated a bride price? What are you taking for me, cash or stock options?
- Blake Carrington: You asked me what I wanted for a wedding present. The very best present you could give me, would be to see you...
- Fallon Carrington: To see me happily married and settled down?
- Blake Carrington: That's right.
- [nods]
- Fallon Carrington: That is bull, Daddy, and you know it. Colbyco Oil makes Denver-Carrington look like a corner filling station, and that's eating your liver out.
- [shakes her head]
- Fallon Carrington: You're not talking about a marriage, you're talking about a merger.
- Blake Carrington: And if I am, what the devil is wrong with that? Am I supposed to be thrilled because seventy percent of the voting stock of Denver-Carrington is going to end up in the hands of some... Greek bandit?
- [said with contempt]
- Fallon Carrington: Well, what are you on me for, anyhow? You have a son. That's the natural line of succession. Let Steven get married. Let him provide the *royal heir.* Give *him* the seventy percent.
- Blake Carrington: [glumly] I'm afraid Steven is not going to work out.
- Fallon Carrington: Well, why? What's the matter with him, low sperm count?
- Blake Carrington: Mind your own business.
- Fallon Carrington: Ooh, we're sensitive, aren't we?
