Quotes 

• Felicia Scorpio Jones : Everyone has to try and stay calm.

  Dr. Monica Quartermaine : Well, that shouldn't be too difficult. It wouldn't be the first time a homicidal maniac has wandered around these grounds.

  Dr. Alan Quartermaine : Well, at least this time it's not one of us.

  Tracy Quartermaine : And is that supposed to be funny?

• Heather Grant Webber Quartermaine : I assume you all received my fax.

  Edward Quartermaine #3 : What fax?

  Dr. Monica Quartermaine : Oh, Heather was thoughtful enough to fax us a copy of your marriage certificate.

  Edward Quartermaine #3 : Really?

  Heather Grant Webber Quartermaine : I thought I'd give everybody a head start on getting used to the idea and I was hoping when we got home that your family would be able to share in out happiness. Oh, it just occurred to me - you're all my family, too, now.

  Dr. Monica Quartermaine : Ugh.

  Dr. Alan Quartermaine : Just because you dragged my Father to the altar, don't think I'm going to start calling you Mother.

  Heather Grant Webber Quartermaine : Heather will be fine.

  Tracy Quartermaine : I have a better idea. How about Thieving, Gold-Digging, Tramp?

• Dr. Monica Quartermaine : Your due date must be coming up. How do you feel?

  Samantha McCall : Good, actually. I mean, I feel great. This is probably the most secure and settled I've ever felt in my entire life, thanks to Jason.

  Dr. Monica Quartermaine : Yeah. Yeah, I can tell he really cares about you. And though I never thought I would say it, I really - really believe you are good for him.

• Tracy Quartermaine : Where have you two been?

  Dr. Monica Quartermaine : We've been with Emily.

  Dr. Alan Quartermaine : My daughter has lost her fiance.

  Helena Cassadine : That's all Nikolas was to you - a boy in love with your daughter. Now, my grandson is gone. He's gone. And I will spend the rest of my life seeing that the Quartermaines pay - every last one of you. Now that Nikolas is gone. I have nothing to live for but vengeance.

  Justice Ward : Mrs. Cassadine, we certainly...

  Helena Cassadine : Retribution is my special gift. Years ago I cursed Luke and Laura. Now Laura's a vegetable, and Luke is slowly drinking himself to death.

  Skye Quartermaine Jacks : Luke survived a lot worse than you - tonight alone.

  Helena Cassadine : I'll make sorrow and regret your constant companions.

  Tracy Quartermaine : You're braking mad.

  Helena Cassadine : Yes, and you will be too, when you've lost your sons as I lost my grandson.

  Skye Quartermaine Jacks : Come on, this is the last thing Nikolas would want.

  Helena Cassadine : Don't you presume to speak for my grandson! His death will be avenged. And you will all pay dearly! You - You most of all.

  Tracy Quartermaine : Good grief! That woman is melodramatic.

  Dr. Alan Quartermaine : Well, Helena's hex obviously solves are liability problem - we'll all be dead within the week.

• Dr. Monica Quartermaine : I have to admit what I heard today made me change my mind about Skye's guilt.

  Tracy Quartermaine : Oh - how mealy-mouthed are you?

  Dr. Monica Quartermaine : What...

  Ned Ashton : What's wrong, mother? All your attempts at making Skye look like a sociopathic killer blowing up in your face? It's the least you deserve.

  Edward Quartermaine #3 : I warned you about turning against Skye on the stand, now, didn't I?

  Tracy Quartermaine : How can you be so protective of an outsider?

  Dr. Alan Quartermaine : Skye's more part of this family then you'll ever be.

  Dr. Monica Quartermaine : If your feelings are hurt, why don't you go someplace and recuperate - like another planet for a very long time.

• Emily Quartermaine : When Nikolas remembers...

  Dr. Monica Quartermaine : He may never remember, Emily!

  Emily Quartermaine : Yes, he will!

  Dr. Monica Quartermaine : You are - you are breaking your own heart by building him up, and you are hurting Nikolas, Emily, by trying to hold on!

  Emily Quartermaine : He isn't like Jason, Mom.

  Dr. Monica Quartermaine : No, no, he isn't. But the situation is. I couldn't let go of Jason. I forced him to destroy the best part of himself, just trying to break free.

  Emily Quartermaine : You aren't responsible for Jason's choices.

  Dr. Monica Quartermaine : I know that. But I can wonder, can't I. wonder if I had given him room, if I had respected what he wanted to do, would we be more than just uncomfortable acquaintance? Would I see him more than three times a year? Every Christmas I wait for him to show up, my brain says it's not going to happen, but my heart doesn't get that message. After all these years, you are a young woman, Emily. Don't do this to yourself. Let Nikolas go!

• Felicia Scorpio Jones : For Lila's sake, I did everything I could to keep an open mind to give you a fair chance to get that inheritance.

  Tracy Quartermaine : You were against me form the start.

  Edward Quartermaine #3 : Can you blame her? She's supposedly searching for the most virtuous Quartermaine. She knew in advance it wouldn't be you.

  Felicia Scorpio Jones : Unfortunately, you've done nothing except prove that you were completely conniving and dishonest. As everyone says that you are.

  Tracy Quartermaine : What have I done specifically?

  Felicia Scorpio Jones : You spied on your father. You tried to blackmail him by taking photographs of him and Heather.

  Tracy Quartermaine : We're Quartermaines blackmail is how we all relate.

  Felicia Scorpio Jones : You're greedy, untrustworthy, dishonest. I tried to give you the benefit of the doubt.

  Tracy Quartermaine : You did not try very hard.

  Felicia Scorpio Jones : I bent over backwards so that I wouldn't be accused of bias.

  Tracy Quartermaine : Of course you're biased. You've hated me ever since I tried to protect my son from your daughter.

  Dr. Monica Quartermaine : Here we go.

  Felicia Scorpio Jones : You were completely unfair to my daughter.

  Tracy Quartermaine : Then maybe she should have taken the hint and stayed away, hmm?

  Felicia Scorpio Jones : Your son loves my daughter.

  Tracy Quartermaine : My son is teenager. He thinks with his hormones. I was just trying to get him to not make a terrible mistake.

  Dr. Alan Quartermaine : Why couldn't she have had a meltdown like this before we were eliminated?

  Tracy Quartermaine : You can't disqualify me for opposing a teen romance.

  Felicia Scorpio Jones : "Opposing"? You put naked pictures of my daughter on the hospital computer! Did you think that I would forget about that?

  Tracy Quartermaine : I'm going to call a lawyer as soon as the lights go back on. I'm going to have that will declared invalid, and while I'm at it, I'm going to sue you for fraud!

  Felicia Scorpio Jones : Are you threatening me?

  Tracy Quartermaine : No! I'm making you are promise, and I always keep my word.

  Dr. Alan Quartermaine : Since when?

  Dr. Monica Quartermaine : Since when?
