"Adeal with the Ahmed brothers?" "Let me see that folder, Gerry." "There it is." "Thanks, Gerry." "Well?" "It's not gonna happen." "This is Jeff Colby." "Get me Adam Carrington, please." "He's busy?" "Well, tell him to stop being busy." "Tell him I want him in my office in ten minutes." "Yes, I'll hold." "He can't make it?" "No, no messages." "And that'll get me into Heathrow Airport at what time?" "Good." "Book it." "Yes, the Concorde." "Jeff, come in." "I was about to return your call." "Where's Alexis?" "In New York." "And she put you in charge?" "Until she gets back, yes." "Now, what can I do for you?" "It's what you can undo for me." "Your trip to London, this deal you're cooking up with the Ahmed brothers." "How did you find out about it?" "I found out." "This deal I'm cooking up with the Ahmed brothers." "Sorry, Jeff, but I'm afraid your tense is wrong." "You see, I've already given them my word" "And my word is that the deal is off." "Oh, yes." "Yes, because one, although Jeff Colby is still working for Denver-Carrington, he owns 50 percent of Colbyco." "Two, Blake Carrington's already turned down the same deal with the Ahmeds." "And three, Farouk Ahmed once threatened your family." "That was an empty threat, Jeff, the man did not kidnap your son." "The man is a crook." "His brother is a crook." "And what else is new in this business?" "Well, try decency." "Do you find that so damned funny?" "Do you?" "Adam Carrington or Michael Torrance." "Or whoever you are." "It's Adam Carrington." "I think that's all been squared away." "My mother believes me, no questions asked." "Blake apparently believes me, questions asked and answered." "And do you know what else I think, Jeff?" "Sitting here now, face to face with you." "I'm thinking how strange it is you can't control your temper in a simple business matter." "But maybe, then again, it's not so strange after all, is it?" "I mean, a man who can't control his own wife..." "Her sexual appetite." "Meaning exactly what?" "Fallon hasn't told you, then I will." "She came on to me at her hotel." "More than once." "Before she knew I was her brother, of course." "But then she probably has told you." "You've both had a kinky laugh or two." "Have you?" "The Ahmed deal is off." "Mr. Jennings." "What does it take to reach you, a posse?" "Who is this?" "Alexis Colby." "I was afraid it was." "Never mind the animosity, Mr. Jennings." "Don't you recognise a real friend when you see one?" "How come you haven't answered my phone calls?" "Mrs. Colby, why talk when there's nothing to say?" "What a beautiful and stubborn man you are." "You obviously didn't listen to a word that I said the other night in my room." "I did, but I didn't believe it." "Well," "let's try again, shall we?" "How about dinner tonight in my hotel?" "I'm not hungry." "In fact, Mrs. Colby, when it comes to you, I'm on a diet." "Thank you for calling." "I've got a lesson now." "So I said to my daughter," ""You know, you look like you're going to have triplets."" "That would make you three times as happy, wouldn't it, Ed?" "Oh, sure." "Except I'd have to spring for three times as many presents." "You know, birthdays, Christmas..." "All right, Barbara, I've been through these." "Now, make sure that Morrison gets that report." "Make sure that he sends it out to our field people in Brisas immediately." "That's fine." "Thank you very much." "As for this, you tell Burke and his staff that I need more explicit information from Research and Development before I can sign anything." "Will do, Mr. Carrington." "Yes?" "Marcia has Adam Carrington on one for you." "Oh, good." " There you are, Ed." " Oh, thank you, Mr. Carrington." "My best to your family." "Sure thing." " Adam?" " Yes, it's Adam." "It's" "It's been almost a week since we talked." "Since that rather unfortunate dinner at the house." "I enjoyed meeting your wife, she's lovely." "Thank you." "What I'm trying to say is that, well, we both let off a little steam, maybe said some things that we really didn't mean and I'd like to get together again." "How about sticking one of those out-to-lunch signs on your door, say, at 12:30 and meeting me?" "All right, where?" "Well, I could pick you up at the corner of 16th and Park." "How about that?" "I'll be there." "Good." "Bye." "Sweetheart, you're trying." "I can really see how hard you're trying on your serve." "I really am, Mark, I swear." "I always listen to you." "I try to do everything you ask me to." "Sure you do." "All this sparkling sweat tells me you do." "But if you don't listen to me all the way, if you don't keep your eye on the ball at all times," "I'm gonna have to paddle your cute little bottom." "Looks like we've run past the clock, so lesson's over and I'll see you Tuesday." " Okay." " All right." "She's very pretty and nubile." "Is she any good?" "With her racket, that is." "She has potential." "I bet." "And I've got another lesson in exactly five minutes." " So..." " Mr. Jennings" "No." "Let's take it the other way around with Mrs. Colby." "The answer is still no, Mrs. Colby." "The answer to your pitch stays no, Mrs. Colby." "Oh, please, call me Alexis." "I have been in New York for one week right now." "For one reason only, my pitch." "Now, it's obviously a good one, otherwise I wouldn't have wasted my time waiting for your phone calls." "Which simply means, lady, that some ladies can't take a hint." "Which means that this lady doesn't give up so easily and I've driven out here to convince you." "To do what?" "Leave New York, go back to Denver to put Krystle through hell so you can gloat for some twisted reason?" "My twisted reason happens to be a very valid one and rational too." " Look, Mark, I really" " You look." "I want the woman that I was married to, the woman that I made life miserable for once, to live her life in peace now." "You don't wanna hurt her." "You got it." "Look, Mark." "You admitted to me quite openly the other night that you were carrying a very strong torch for Krystle." " I was drunk." " On one Scotch?" "Oh, no." "I think you've still got very strong feelings for Krystle, who is still your wife, according to my investigator." " Who could be wrong." " Who is not wrong." "Who went to Mexico at enormous expense, mine, and who found nothing to prove that one Krystle Grant Jennings had ever been divorced from one Mark Jennings." "Mrs. Colby, let me tell you this, and once and for all." "With my last hundred bucks, I bought a legal divorce from a lawyer I met in a bar down there." "When the guy came back with the decree," "I sent it on to Krystle in Ohio and that's it." "Except it was a phoney document." "You're still married to Krystle, aren't you, Mr. Jennings?" "I'm due to give a lesson now." "All right." "But after your lesson, why don't you drive into town with me?" "We could have a drink." "I think we've still got a lot of talking to do." "You look surprised, did you expect me to be late?" "No, but I did expect you to be driven up in that big black monster I've seen parked outside Denver-Carrington." "Well, surprises help make the world go round, as someone once said." " Like you?" " Come to think of it, it might have been me." "Would-?" "Would you care to drive this?" "Where do I drive to?" "Fallon's hotel, I thought we'd have lunch there." "I'd like you to see what your industrious little sister's doing with the place." "Where's Daddy?" "I don't know." "One, two, three, four, five words." "Well, I guess we've run out of small talk." "Well, I haven't." "How's my wife, the hotel-keeper, these days?" "That's not even small, Jeff, that's just petty." "Marcia." " Yes." " Where's Mr. Carrington?" " Having lunch." " With whom?" "With Adam Carrington." "I see." "Thank you." "Well, your big brother is really one hell of a takeover guy." "Yeah, some people are just natural stars." "Wherever you put them, they shine." "I thought you didn't like him." "I don't." "That's funny." "I get the feeling you kind of admire him in a kind of a perverted way." " Do you?" " Admire him?" "God, Jeff, no wonder you and I get along so swimmingly." "I mean, we're both Colorado born and bred but we don't even speak the same language." "I loathe him." "Well, you just said he's a star." "So he has to have a few things going for him." "What is it?" "His good looks?" "His charm?" "His sexiness?" "What are you talking about?" "Did you find him real sexy at the hotel the few days he was there?" "I asked you something and I want an answer." "How dare you talk to me like this." "Knowing you, Fallon, I dare." "Well, what do you think?" "Well, I think La Mirage is an improvement." "No, no, no." "I mean about the car." "Oh, the car." "Well, as jitneys go, she feels pretty good." "Handles all right, hugs the road." "As investments go, I think you made yourself a pretty nice deal." "Youthful image and all that never hurts." "Well, let's put it this way." "I was politically oriented back in Montana." "I was a young, political animal myself once." "Politically ambitious, I mean." "Thought about running for Congress, just for starters." "Why didn't you pursue it?" "Well, for one thing, your mother didn't think that Washington would suit her." "Too humid, she said." "Probably was afraid of what it might do to her beautiful skin." "Well, she does have beautiful skin." "What's wrong with that?" "Nothing." "Just making a joke." " Like Jeff's." " What?" "His skin." "It's almost too perfect." "Too pretty, wouldn't you say?" "I mean, for a man." "Well, he is very much a man, I assure you." "I know that." "It was my turn to make a joke." " Hi, Daddy." " Hi, darling." "You know, I might have taken my sexy little sister here for a lot of things when I first met her, but a hotel tycoon?" "Never." "Do you really think I'm sexy, Adam?" "Very." "Well, that's very flattering." "From my brother, of all people." "Oh, if I'm anything, Fallon, I'm an honest brother." "Honesty is a very misused word these days." "Daddy, do you have time to stay and go over some cost estimates with me?" " Yeah, sure." " Okay." "Oh, Adam, would you mind driving back alone in that new jitney?" "I'll have my car come pick me up later." "Well, sure." "But what do I do with the car when I get back to town?" "Well, that's your problem." "You see, it's your car." "You'll find the registration in the glove compartment." "Thank you." "But I don't need one." "Not from you." "Wait a minute." "Adam, what-?" "What is it?" "What's wrong?" "Why are you so hostile?" "The day you start to really believe I'm Adam Carrington is the day I stop being hostile." "I'll take a taxi back." "Excuse me, Daddy." "And I'll wait for it outside." "Wait." "Miss me already?" "I wanna know where you get off talking to my father like that." "Oh, you mean, that sensational man in there?" "That's exactly what I mean." "You're a fraud." "You have no right" "Be careful, Fallon." "I don't need to take this, not from you." "Well, take this." "Even if we're still legally married, what Krystle and I had together was a long time ago." "And I can't see how it stacks up against what she has now." "The fancy mansion that you told me about, jewellery, furs, the Rolls-Royce." "The man can give her everything." "Including happiness." "Happiness?" "From Blake Carrington?" "That man is cold, arrogant and unfeeling." "I should know, I was married to him for enough miserable years." "No, what" " What Krystle really needs now is what I needed then." "Some love." "Some tenderness." "Look, why don't you fly out to Denver and see for yourself?" "Now, Krystle's not going to admit any of this at first, she's much too proud." "But give it a few days." "And I also happen to know that there's a wonderfully chic new resort called La Mirage and they're desperately looking for a tennis pro." " I could quite easily" " Forget it." "I said no, I mean no." "Tell me something, Alexis." "What are you really here for?" "Why would a woman with your money and power come all this way to try and get us back together?" "All right, you're obviously not a stupid man." "I do have something to gain." "It's none of your business." "The truth of the matter is that Krystle's in trouble and she needs you." "Look." "You look at me and tell me honestly that you don't still love her and I will climb onto my white horse and ride out of your life forever." "I don't love her." "You're a liar." "I love you." "God, I love you." "These are good." "Very good." "You've taken this white elephant, you've done a fine remodelling job and you've kept the cost down." "Congratulations so far." "Daddy, I didn't mean to upset you before." "It's just that I can't see you accepting it so easily." "You mean that Adam is who he is?" " Or who he claims he is." " Wait a minute." "Wait a minute, Fallon." "To that hard and knowing world out there, you're a woman." "But to me, there's still a part of you that's a child." "My child, always will be." "Now, if that child is concerned that somebody else will ever replace her in my affections and my love, she's wrong." "Oh, come on, Daddy, I'm not worried about myself." "It isn't the sibling hour." "And even if it were, I could certainly fight for my own position." "What's bothering me, what's killing me, really, is the way you're so busy trying to win him over." "It's as if Steven was already forgotten and replaced." "And that hurts you?" "Yes, very much." "Well, it shouldn't, because it's not true." "When Steven left, he made it very clear he wanted no more of this family." "You were there, you heard him, you saw him go." "I know what you were feeling then." "And I'm feeling..." "I'm hoping and I'm praying that he changes his mind and comes back." "No questions asked?" "Well, if I said yes to you, I'd be lying." "And I've never lied to you." "Well, what are you gonna ask him?" ""Steven, have your attitudes about life and lifestyles changed?"" "I'm sure I'd get around to it, you know me well enough for that." "Let's get back to Adam." "Now, he is a part of this family and I'd appreciate it very much if you knock that suspicious chip off your lovely shoulder and you started to show him the consideration that he deserves." "As a Carrington?" "Yes, damn it, as a Carrington." "How you doing, little fella?" "How are you?" "You remember me?" "You should, the way I keep barging in on you." "Hello, Krystle." "I came home for a look at him too." "Oh, I'm sorry." "Oh, no, no, don't be, you're beautiful with him." "There." "Besides, with Fallon being away as much as she is..." "How you doing?" "Fallon." "My first love." "You know I fell in love with her when we were just kids." "Except she never paid any attention to me." "Not until we were married." "And then married for the wrong reason." "One big mistake right from the start." "Well, you're holding one right reason." "The only reason now." "Right?" "Good." "I think it's time for you to go back to bed." "Jeff," "I know it's been on your mind, with Fallon gone so much of the time." "Look, I've heard it all before." "From Fallon, but" "Could you just listen to me for a second?" "Sometimes people do things that they" "They feel they have to, and some people are left out." "But right now that's a chance that Fallon's gonna have to take." "Otherwise, she'll regret it for the rest of her life." "And if it works, great." "If it doesn't, at least she's had her shot." "And then Fallon and I will get together the way you and Blake did, and live happily ever after, right?" " Maybe." " No, not maybe, Krystle." "I'm finally facing a big truth in my life, that it's over between Fallon and me." "Except there's one thing." "I still love her." "And how do you fall out of love?" "Well, in a way, we don't." "I married my first love too, Jeff." "And when it was over," "I thought I'd never recover." "But eventually I found Blake and then I was okay." "And you'll be all right when you find someone else." "You can love more than one person in your life." "Well, we'll see." " Let's work on that forehand a little bit." " Okay." "Attagirl." "Beautiful." "Mark, what's the matter?" "That about does it for today, Irene." " See you Monday?" " Sure." "Welcome to paradise, Mrs. Jennings." "And at 21 bucks a night." "Well, it's so very nice to be here, Mr. Jennings." "And who gives a hoot about the money?" "We got nearly $200 in wedding gifts today." "That's cold cash." "Aside from the candy dishes," " the candy dishes" " And the candy dishes." "You looked so beautiful today." "And you look even more beautiful now." "Don't be nervous." "I trust you, Mark." "With my body and my heart and my soul." "I'll be gentle, Krystle." "I know." "Have you seen these before?" "Well, these two, that's Steven and Fallon." " Is that Adam?" " Yes." "Two weeks before he was kidnapped." "There is a resemblance, don't you think?" "I mean, look at his eyes and Fallon's, and their noses are the same shape, don't you think?" "They are." "Of course, this age, most babies have pretty much the same-shaped nose." "Would you like some brandy?" "Yes, thank you." "What's wrong, Blake?" "Is it Adam and the thing about the car?" "Yes, that, and his moving in with his mother." "I mean, that'd be fine with me, but I know Alexis." "I know that she's gonna keep steering him against me all the time." "Well, the Blake Carrington I know would fight." " Happily." " I was prepared to." "I was gonna give it the fight of my life." "But..." "But what?" "Fallon." "Her questioning of this, her questioning of me." ""Are you so sure he's your son?" "How can you be so sure he's your son?"" "I try to dismiss it, but I can't." "Then you're still not sure." "I'd like to be sure." "Then be." "Fallon's got a Gypsy's intuition about some things." "More often than not, she's right." "And Fallon doesn't trust Adam." "And you can't get past that." "No, I can't." "I just can't." "Hello, Fallon." "Do you have a few minutes?" "Well, seeing as how you drove all the way over," "I'll have to make a couple." "What do you wanna talk about?" "I want to talk about your father." "Did he send you here?" "No, I came on my own." "I figure it's about Adam." "That's right." "I'm upsetting my father because I don't trust my brother who I'm not so sure is." "Fallon, you and Adam somehow got off on the wrong foot." "So did Blake." "But he's tried to do something about it." "Now, why can't you?" "Tell me something, Krystle." "What does any of this have to do with you?" "Because whether you accept it or not, I am a part of this family, Fallon." "And I don't wanna see your father upset." ""Part of the family," we're talking about my brother, not yours, so leave it alone, okay?" "No, it's not okay." "Now, you've used this bloodline routine of yours on me for years, and I let it pass." "Well, not this time." "Do you know what you're showing me?" "That your love for your father doesn't measure up to a fraction of mine." "That's bull and you know it." "What I know is what I hear and what I see." "And what I know is I will not leave it alone if I see anyone causing Blake pain." "Now, you just keep it up and you'll be hearing from me." "Joseph." "Joseph." "Yes, Mr. Carrington?" "Now, what is this?" "Come on in here, I wanna talk to you." "Close that door." "Now, what the devil is this letter about?" "Exactly what it says." "I am resigning." "Why?" "Are you being mistreated in this household?" "No, Mr. Carrington." "Well, why, then?" "Is it a better job?" "If it is, I'll match the offer." "It's a very personal matter, it concerns my daughter." " Kirby?" " Yes." "I received a letter from her a couple of days ago." "You may recall she was engaged to a rather wealthy graduate student at the Sorbonne, a Jean-Louie Cadot." "Well, she has broken the engagement, wants to come home." "If that's the way it was meant to be, it's better that she realised it before the wedding, don't you think?" "My daughter doesn't know what's good for her." "I do." "So I shall be leaving for Paris immediately." "And I shall remain there until she is married to that young man." "Sit down, Joseph." "You know something, old friend?" "You're a snob." "Wanting to make sure that your daughter marries into money." "Her happiness, of course, that's merely incidental." "I remember Kirby well." "She's headstrong like Fallon." "Nobody but nobody runs Fallon." "Kirby is my daughter." "I'll handle her." "Joseph." "Kirby loves you, she needs you." "Now, you should be grateful that when a problem comes up that her instinct is to run to you instead of running away from you." "Mr. Carrington, you see, she" "Take it from a man who's made a big mistake." "Now, Steven is" "Nobody knows where right now, because I drove him away." "Right now," "I'm managing to do the same thing with Adam." "I reject him the way I rejected Steven." "Joseph," "I want Kirby to stay here." "Right here with you." "Here in the house?" "Yes." "Well, it's where she's learned all her bad ways, isn't it?" "She loves you." "You and I, Joseph, we have to welcome our children back." "Thanks for the game." "Oh, did you really like that?" "I've seen better." "I see you've been to Wimbledon too." "No, right here in Denver." "I doubt it." "Say, how about joining me for a drink?" "I own this place, you know." "Good, then it's on you." "No, we'll roll for it." "Okay, you're on." "So, modesty aside, I'm a terrific player and learning that you need a top pro here at La Mirage," "I'm offering you my services." "What I'm saying, Mrs. Colby, is that I'm exactly the man you've been looking for." " May I tell you something?" " Sure." "But I'll trade you a Fallon for a Mark." "You were saying, Fallon?" "That you, Mark, give the word "immodest" a whole new meaning." "Yes, well, that and my backhand are my two strongest suits." "Well, if there's a third, save it for the customers." "Like that, huh?" "Yeah, like that." "Why don't you get dressed and meet me in my office and we'll talk business." "Say when." "Fine, fine." "I assume this is an interim contract?" "I mean, handwritten, no lawyers." "Oh, I'll have the real papers drawn up before you can say, "Ivan Lendl."" "Would you sign there?" "Before you can say, "Jimmy Connors."" "Here." "That's my wife." "I mean, my ex-wife." "She lives here in Denver." "Married to a guy named Carrington." "You keep looking at her, Fallon." "Do you know her?" "Yes, we've met." "Listen, I think you were right about the contract." "I should have a lawyer draw it up to make it official." "So we'll just wait, okay?" "In the meantime, I have a meeting to attend to." "So why don't you jot down your number and we'll keep in touch." "All right, Mother." "He came, he saw and he almost conquered." "Now, what kind of a number are you trying to pull on me?" "I don't know what you're talking about, Fallon." "And I'm not in the mood for riddles." "All right, are you in the mood to discuss your New York shopping trip?" "What did you buy, Mother?" "Nothing." "The selection was terrible." "Dresses, that is." "The hats were even worse." "What about the men?" "Men?" "Don't be impertinent, Fallon." "Oh, yes, that's right, the recent widow." "Not that that stopped you from finding one item, male, which you liked." "What are you inventing now?" "A story." "But not a make-believe one." "Once upon a time you came to La Mirage and you urged me to fix up the tennis courts and hire a pro." "And at the time, I made it perfectly clear" "I didn't need any assistance from my dear mother." "You even had Adam call me to say you would share the cost with me for a gift, which I turned down." "So today, as if touched by a wand, he shows up." "A pro." "Looking for a job." "His name is Mark Jennings and he just happens to be Krystle's ex-husband." "Now, I wanna know why you sent him here." "So he's here?" "Is that news to you?" "Yes, it is." "Did you hire him?" "Well, I nearly did until I found out about him." ""Nearly" isn't good enough, Fallon." "I think that you should rush right over and consummate the deal." "What are you talking about?" "Consummate the deal." "With Krystle's not ex-husband, but never-divorced and therefore present husband." "Darling, you should thank me." "Not only for finding a very attractive man for the job, but for also providing you and me with such a lovely surprise for Krystle." "Tea?" "So, what have you got for me today?" "Jeff, I brought these documents over for you to examine and then sign." "They have to do with your uncle's estate." "These are a bit complex for instant reading." "Let me have some time to look these over, and if I have any questions, I'll call you at the office." "Okay, counsellor?" "You better call me at home." "Why?" "You planning on taking some time off?" "More than I want." "I've taken an early retirement from Colbyco." "Well, whose idea was that?" "Obviously not yours." "Hardly matters." "Well, it does to me." "You've been fired." "Right?" "That's right, I fired him." "I fired Wilson, Mother." "Why?" "Because the man is a spy." "He passed on the Ahmed file to someone at Denver-Carrington." "To me at Denver-Carrington." "Because he was thinking of Colbyco and I happen to be part of Colbyco." "Denver-Carrington employs you." "Oh, come on, Alexis, how could you allow him to do this?" "I didn't allow him to do anything, I was in New York." "I would never have condoned it, had I known." "You know that Cecil always had the greatest respect for Gerald Wilson." "And besides, we need an attorney of his experience in our company." "Mother, the man betrayed us." "Adam, in future you will check with me before you hire or fire anyone." "Do you understand?" "Darling." "You obviously didn't realise how vital Gerald was to our operation." "But you do now, don't you?" "Oh, Adam and Jeff." "You two young men are the most important men in my life right now." "And it really would mean so much to me that you two could be close to each other." "We're gonna be close, all right." "I've made up my mind to come over to Colbyco." "What?" "I've decided to run the company jointly with you, Alexis." "Have you told Blake that you're going to leave Denver-Carrington?" "No, but I will." "Jeff, that is wonderful." "How much guarantee do you need?" "Wilson is back." "You want the man to stay, he's staying." "So there's no need for you to" "For me to come back?" "Oh, but there is, Adam." "I mean, can't you understand that?" "You're supposed to be the bright new kid on the block." "Here I am, Jeff Colby, in the totally enviable position of being in the best of two possible worlds." "A finger in two powerful empires." "So why should I give one of them up?" "Well, sure, we'd love to have you, Jeff, but" "Oh, don't worry about Blake, I'm sure you do." "I mean, after all, he is your father and we both owe him a lot." "But he'll understand." "I think it'll take me, what, about two weeks to close up shop at Denver-Carrington." "But after that, you, Alexis, can count on both owners being actively involved in the company." "Colbyco." "Colbyco." "It's Blake's loss and my gain." "Oh, Jeff, what can I say except that I am thrilled at the prospects." "Now let's have a glass of champagne to celebrate." "And we will cement a wonderful future for the three of us together." "Working together." " Mother, Jeff." " Cheers." "Cheers." "Come on now, Jeff." "You can protect your own interests without actually working with a she-octopus like Alexis." "No, I know that, Blake." "But let's not forget that almost half of Denver-Carrington is owned by Colbyco through the Logan Rhinewood stock buy-up." "So if Alexis has any plans to attack, you'll have me there to try and stop her." "And if I'm reading it right, you're probably going to need me there." "Adam." "Yes?" "Why are you so bothered with all of this?" "Look, Jeff is not only a very intelligent person, but he's also a Colby." "And a really caring man who was all strength to me when Cecil died." "All right." "You see him the way you want to see him." "But do you know what I see?" "He's an obstructionist." "Oh, I tell you, he's gonna get in my way at every turn." "He'll kill and strangle every plan we've talked about for you and me." "How can you have these kind of opinions about somebody that you barely know?" "I know him." "You see, I learned very early in life how to tell my enemies from my friends." "And Jeff Colby is the enemy, Mother." "Our enemy." "Mine and yours." "Let me tell you something, Adam, and don't ever forget it." "I wouldn't be where I am today if it wasn't for the fact that I know who my enemies are and how to destroy them." "I'll decide if Jeff Colby becomes a real threat." "Not you," "I."
