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.

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?
