Quotes[]

Fallon (to Alexis): Mother, you realize I can see your nipples from New York, right?

Monica: You slept with Dirty Kirby?
Jeff: Come on, that's just some bitchy nickname Fallon gave her.
Monica: And the fact that she almost burnt down Carrington Manor?
Jeff: It was a long time ago. Kids love playing with fire. People change.
Monica: Clearly. Kirby's sleeping with guys now, for one.

Sam: I'm worried Melissa Daniels is a liar.
Alexis: You should be. She is a lying, thieving predator. The thing I didn't tell you... is that she slept with Steven when he was only 18.
Sam: Was that before or after you slept with her husband?
Alexis: The point is, she's not getting any money in the divorce, so when she looks at Steven, she sees dimples and dollar signs. I have doubts that she's pregnant with anything other than carbs. We can't tell Steven until we have proof. He'll think I'm petty and vindictive.
Sam: I can't imagine why.
Alexis: You know what they say. Keep your enemies close. So, ingratiate yourself with Melissa. Maybe she'll slip up and we'll catch her in a lie.
Sam: This is insane. I'm not a detective.
Alexis: Well, maybe you can be now. Law and Order: Fashion Victim.

Kirby (to a rat): I'm gonna call you Fallon.

Fallon: You know what? Keep it.
Kirby: You think it's your clothes I want? Maybe when I was 12.
Fallon: What the hell do you want?
Kirby: I want everything. Everything you took from me when you had me shipped back to Australia. I'm gonna take your friends, your family, your whole damn world.
