You're swooning around whining about some spider bite, and have you - have you bothered to thank me for risking my life for stealing that stinking book from Helena Cassadine? I didn't have to drag it all the way out here, but I did. I didn't have to tell you what she was doing, but I did. I gave you ammunition. Now, why don't you find a way to use it. Why don't you get up off your butt, fix yourself a drink, and fight like a Quartermaine.

Tracy Quartermaine: Lorenzo Alcazar's niece was murdered in our home.
Dillon Quartermaine: Mom, you're trying to make sure that Lorenzo Alcazar blames Georgie for what happened to Sage. I don't know what it is. I don't know, but for some strange reason, you've got it in your head that you don't want Georgie and me to be together, and you're going to use anything you can, including Sage's death, to get what you want. You don't care about the consequences of what you do. You don't care about weight of the misery that you cause people. I don't know how you do it. How do you be so heartless? Do you even have compassion? Do you even have empathy? how about plan old common decency?
Tracy Quartermaine: I won't apologize for protecting you.
Dillon Quartermaine: All right, you know, fine. Then do me a favor - don't protect me. Don't do anything for me, don't do anything in my name. I don't know. Georgie and I are together, there's nothing you can do about that except turn around and walk away.

Helena Cassadine: This book contains information that could reverse the curse that I put on Nikolas and Emily.

Helena Cassadine: I'll make sorrow and regret your constant companions.
Tracy Quartermaine: You're braking mad.

Tracy Quartermaine: As a heart attack.
Courtney Matthews Morgan: You would really prevent underprivileged children from getting the help they need just to satisfy your aging ego?

Ric Lansing: It's a plan.

Luke Spencer: Hi, It's me. Lucas Lorenzo Spencer. Well, what can you say about Cameron Lewis except that he was as crazy as most of his patients? Which is probably why he was a good doctor. He was an honest man, and he told it like it was. He'd been to some dark places in himself, and he wasn't afraid of those place in other people. He knew what made seemingly intelligent people trash their own lives. Dr. Lewis died saving my son, probably because he couldn't save his own. He made mistakes, like everybody, but did what he could to fix what he had broken. He was a good man, an honest man. I don't really believe that the dead can hear me or see me. But, just in case I'm wrong, Thanks, Cameron. You were a good friend.

Skye Quartermaine Jacks: Well, I'm sure Jax has kind words for you, too.
Luke Spencer: Well, he should. I've never done anything to him. However, he has treated you like dirt, he's drop-kicked you, he's shallow as a mud puddle. What do you see in him, anyway? Why are you so hung up on him?
Skye Quartermaine Jacks: Oh, there's so much more than that. Let's see while you were gone, Jax and I remarried. Oh, and even better, we're expecting a little bundle of joy. Let's see what else happened while you were away. Oh, yes, we were robbed opening night at the casino here. But, well, I managed to keep the place open while you were gone and just took off and left me a note!
Luke Spencer: You really missed me, didn't you?
Skye Quartermaine Jacks: Oh, I missed you, all right, considering you're the only warm body between this casino and that bleached-blond psychopath freak, Faith Rosco.
Luke Spencer: She been threatening you again?
Skye Quartermaine Jacks: Oh, only every time she turns around.
