"ThE Man Must be a recluse like howard hughes Was." "tell ME, have you ever met RhinEWood?" "No." " ever seen a photo of him?" " No." "then how Can you be so positive, Mr. Carrington?" "where's your proof that he Was even involved?" "lieutenant, it's your job to find that proof." "Our job is checking out facts, details." "now, Mr. Carrington, victims sometimes remember things, small but significant things, long after the incident." "I have told you everything that I Can remember." "So has your son-in-laW and your chauffeur." "Dark night." "Car zooms by." "two men inside, their faces in the shadows." "one throws the dynamite." "But you Can't identify him or the driver."

"WEll, What are WE gonna do this time, doctor?" "WEll, I think you'll be pleased to know that the tests and x-rays that I took before I left" "confirm What the other specialists have found." "there's absolutely no damage to the optic nerve." "then Why the devil Can't I see?" "unfortunately, medicine is not an exact science." "does that mean that you don't know?" "WEll, WE suspect that it is a severe psychological trauma brought on by thE accident." "Oh, in other Words, I'M just imagining that I'M blind." " Is that it?" " No, no, no." " Your blindness is very real." " All right, then when Will it go?" "Or Won't it?" "WEll, cases such as these vary." "meaning, again, that you don't know, huh?" "You'rE absolutely right, Mr. Carrington." "WE don't know." "now, I Won't prolong this any longer." "I Can let myself out." " nick, let's have lunch." " Right." "Thanks." "So that's your World-rEnoWnEd expert, is it?" "I worked With him in vietnam." "HE's one of thE best ophthalMologists in the Country." "then WE better pray for our Country." "then let's throw in an amen for blake Carrington." " And What is that supposed to mean?" " It means keep it up." "All the anger inside you, all the resentment, just keep it up, because it's gonna do wonders for your stress load." "I'M sick of hearing that psychiatric MuMbo jumbo." "And I'M sick of telling you to take it Easy and try to relax." "I Can't relax." "Not here, anyway." "I'M going back to Work on Monday." "You'vE been out of thE hospital for less than a week."

" yes, I'M through!" "Go ahead, go back to Work." "ThE phone Calls, the board meetings, the ticker tapes, go ahead." "Do whatever the hell you Want." "You'rE still blake Carrington With the big bucks and the unholy power." "But you remember this, friend:" "You'rE like the rest of us." "You'rE human too." " If not humane." " now, What is that supposed to mean?" "answer ME that." "TosCanni." "TosCanni, answer ME!" "TosCanni." "answer ME!" "nick." "Wait a minute." "Only a minute?" "That's a snap." "I'vE been Waiting for nearly a Month." " how Could you talk to him like that?" " HE deserved it." "Don't you know What he's going through?" " Can't you imagine how he's feeling?" " miserable." "Just like I'vE been these past couple of weeks Without you." " l'M not talking about us." " damn it, I aM." " I need to know something." " What?" "Don't make ME ask." "You know." "I Want you." "I Want you for myself." "I Can't bear the thought of..." "AM I sleeping With him?" "Is that What you Wanna know?" "Not since blake and alexis were together in rome." "I have My oWn room." "WE'rE not sleeping together." "when are you gonna tell him?" "when are you gonna stop this charade?" "I don't know, nick." "I'M sorry." "I just don't know." "are you planning on getting dressed, or are you just gonna MopE around?" "I'M not Moping, I'M thinking." " What about, your lover?" " My father." " well, I think about him too, Fallon." " Do you really?" "Of course I do, and you know it." "WE'rE due at thE Randolphs' at 7." "I know." " ArEn't you going to get dressed?" " I don't really Wanna go." "Why?" "WEll, you know LEnorE, she's always talking about babies and pregnancies." " hers and" " Yours?" " mine." " well, What's Wrong With that?" "does it bore you?" "Or don't you care?" "Of course I care." "I kept the baby, didn't I?" "Oh, jeff, let's not fight." "then get dressed." "What, do I turn you off now that I'M pregnant?" "No." "What's the matter, then?" "You'rE not doing this for ME, you'rE doing it for blake." "because I saved his life." "And you figure you owe ME something every once in a while." " Oh, now you'rE a Mind reader." " No, I just know you, Fallon." "No, you don't." "I'M still a woman." "Why don't you Call your boyfriend?" "unless he's suddenly turned off by a pregnant Mrs. Colby." "Mr. Carrington, you don't have to ring quite so often." "I did hear you the first time." "You did, huh?" "WEll, then What kept you?" "let us say the fact that it's Sunday today and I have this unhEard-of habit of sleeping in a little later on Sunday Morning." " Not to mention..." " Not to mention What?" "WEll, you did wake ME up twice during the night, once to shave you, once to read to you." "That disturbed you, huh?" "WEll, What disturbed ME Was your choice of reading matter." " I find spy stories dull." " yes." "You Must, joseph." "You read them dully." "Mr. Carrington, I'M afraid I have to tell you that I'M finding your sarcasm harder and harder to take." "Do you, now?"

"when are you gonna tell him?" "sammy Jo, come on." "You know Why I havEn't told him." "It's pretty obvious." "I mean, he's been in the hospital Most of thE time." "And he's not exactly Making an Easy adjustment to things." "except I'M not a thing, I'M your wife." "And not being able to see doEsn't mean he Won't understand that I'M important to you, that I Count around here now." "Or do I?" " Look, I'll tell him." " when?" "when, steven?" "sometime today." "You promise?" "I promise." "You did What?" "I married sammy Jo." "how Could you do that?" "What do you mean, how Could I do that?" "she's KrystlE's niece." "they'rE related only by an accident of birth." "That's the only similarity between them." "What did she do, trick you into this?" "Or were you drunk?" "No, Dad, I Wasn't drunk." "I married her because I love her." "Thanks for the Congratulations." "All right." "Congratulations." "You don't say that With much conviction." "I say it the Way I say it." "I don't know."

"steven, May I speak to you outside for a moment, please?" "excuse us, blake." "how dare you be so inconsiderate as to upset him at a time like this?" "maybe I have a bit of you in ME, mother." " Don't be insolent." " Don't you be so forgetful." "What are you talking about?" "I'M talking about a woman Who Was inconsiderate Enough to tell him years ago that Fallon Wasn't his daughter." "That is a closed subject, steven." " Oh, is it?" " yes." "now, it's bad Enough that you had to run off and Marry that nothing girl, but this stupidity about Motor racing" "This stupidity is My business, something I share With My wife." "And if you don't approve," "sammy Jo and I Can make it Without any of you." "yes?" "blake, I'M sorry, but you had to find out about the marriage sooner or later." "It happened."
