Gordon Thomson: Adam Carrington

Quotes 

• Adam Carrington : The way I see it, you and I are two of a kind. It's just that I'm more honest about it.

• Adam Carrington : As a latecomer to this family - this often ruthless family - I've made it my business to find out everything about everybody.

• Adam Carrington : You of all people should know the end justifies the means.

  Alexis : Sometimes I'm not so sure about that, Adam.

  Adam Carrington : Aren't you? Then look at it this way...

  Alexis : Oh, I know! It's only a matter of time before we force Blake out as head of Denver-Carrington, and then you and I will take over Denver-Carrington and ColbyCo and run it together.

  Adam Carrington : Yes! Exactly. And think of the fields we'll conquer. Oil fields, soybean fields, name them... and they're ours.

• Alexis : [Discussing Jeff]  Don't you have any regrets about what you've done to him?

  Adam Carrington : Honest answer? No. None.

• Alexis : Come here, Adam, and sit down!

  Adam Carrington : It's very late. You're still up. Plotting something, Mother?

  Alexis : How dare you use that word to me!

  Adam Carrington : Why not? We're both a bit Machiavellian at times. In fact, much of the time these days. One might say one has been learning one's craft from a master.

• Alexis : I've done certain things in my life that I'm not proud of, but I think I've often had regrets about them.

  Adam Carrington : As in Krystle's baby?

• Adam Carrington : We've reached a great, a very great moment in ColbyCo's future. Do you want to tell her, Jeff?

  Alexis : What do you want to tell me, Jeff?

  Jeff Colby : I signed over my son's shares of Denver-Carrington to ColbyCo.

  Adam Carrington : Thus giving ColbyCo control over Blake's company. And this should please you even more, Mother. Because Jeff needs a vacation, he's agreed to sign over his own voting control in ColbyCo to you.

• Alexis : A few hours ago you threw what amounted to a blackmail threat at me.

  Adam Carrington : Did I?

  Alexis : Don't interrupt! You threw a vile threat and then you stalked out of here before I had a chance to take that threat and slap it across your arrogant face!
