"We both know that that body means nothing compared to what could float to the surface." "Last time on Dynasty:" "You are here because I thought there was something in the lake." "Now I'm..." "Oh, there is, all right." "And what did you find besides a body that floated inconveniently to the surface to cause a lot of trouble for a lot of people?" "A passageway." "There are things in people's lives that they don't tell anybody." " Yes, I know that, but..." " Fallon." "You love Blake?" "Of course I do." "So don't put him on the spot by asking questions he can't answer." "Protect him." "He's your father." "Oh, Virginia." "This is Dex Dexter." "This is Krystle's cousin Virginia." "These are divorce papers." "What it says is, that if I come out of this operation and I can't hear or speak or recognise you, that my divorce from you will become automatic." "Do you know what you're asking me to do?" "I'm asking you to keep me from becoming a burden to the people I love." "I want tonight to be a celebration of all the shared moments of our lives." "With this ring I thee wed." "With this ring I thee wed." "I love you more than I can ever say." "And I love you." "I hope they have a wonderful honeymoon." "It's not going to be a honeymoon." "What?" "The doctor just called." "He wants them to fly directly to the clinic in Switzerland." "The operation is scheduled for the day after tomorrow." " Uh, help." " Zorelli." "I don't believe it." "Just give me a hand, please." "Thank you." " What are you doing?" " Well, actually, I think I'm falling!" " Aah!" "Sorry." "What are you doing here?" "Well, I had an extra hour to kill, you know." "So you thought you'd pester me?" "No, my skating was just a little rusty, so I thought I'd get some practise in." "How often do you skate?" " Including today?" " Yeah." "Once." "What do you want, Zorelli?" "Did it ever occur to you that maybe I just enjoy your company?" "Never." " You don't think I'm sincere?" " Not in the least." "Well, actually I can appreciate that." "What I do think is, beneath all of that little-boy charm lives a very shrewd cop." "Little-boy charm." "Is that a good thing to have?" "I don't know yet." " Um..." "Do we have to go so fast?" " Oh, we're just warming up." "Oh, great." "Well, I gotta tell you, I'm really not loving this." " Oh, all right then, we'll play a game." " Okay." " Is it called stop?" " No, it's called crack-the-whip." " No." "No." " Yes." "Happy landings." "Oh, oh, oh." "Whoa!" "All right." "Here we go." "You feel a bit lost?" "Yeah." "Especially with Krystle gone." "I came to Denver because she needed me," " and now..." " She still needs you." "She doesn't need anybody now." "I had her for such a short time." "And then to lose her again." "Excuse me." "Hello?" "Well, fire him." "His pate tastes like meatloaf and his souffles are like pancakes." "No, it doesn't surprise me to hear that the previous owner loved the chef." "My cousin never has had any taste." "Maurice leaves The Carlton." "Thank you." "I forgot Alexis is your cousin." "Please don't apologise." "It's something I'd sooner forget." "I can't imagine Blake being married to someone like her." "And I think, in retrospect, neither can he." "Look, if we are ever going to get to this gallery opening..." "These will be perfect." "Oh, my gosh!" "I can't..." "Sable, I couldn't." " Yes, you can." " No." "You'll pay me back." "You know what I would love?" "I would love some copies of the photos that you took at the wedding." " Sure." " Especially of Krystle and Blake." "And maybe one of Dexter." " You took a lot of him, didn't you?" " No, I didn't." "Yes, you did." "With Fallon and with Jeff." "I just wanted to be sure we got everybody." "Not that I blame you." "Dex is quite a specimen." "Now, he used to be married to Alexis too, you know?" "And she still has her claws in him." "It seems that the only way her husbands can be complete free of her is to die." "Look, I must get ready." "Alexis, you're 10,000 miles away and you're still giving orders." "Goodbye, Alexis." "She giving you a hard time again?" "Oh, what else is new?" "Mm." "But it looks like she greased the right palms there." " The ships will be on their way home." " Good, good." "Glad you're here." "Painter's on his way over with Fritz Heath's phone records." " Did he find anything?" " Look at this." "See this account?" "A $250,000 withdrawal." "And here..." "Five-hundred thousand." "Both made last week." "Right." "And over here." "Now, that is a total of 4 and a half million Colbyco dollars transferred out of six accounts and stockpiled." "Four and a half million?" "Same amount as the Vitron payment, which just happens to be due today." "Now, Fritz Heath swore Vitron would come in." "But he forgot to mention that it was coming in out of Colbyco's own accounts." "It's open." " Painter." " And here we have every phone number out of Heath's office for the past couple of months." "You got names and addresses on all of these?" "Oh, you betcha." "Except for these two." "This first one, I think, is a private line out of Colbyco." "Yeah, it could be." " And this one right here." " It's an L.A. Number." "Yeah." "Yeah, we got the name, but the number's been disconnected." " Said the lady moved out of town." " I can't believe this." "I can help us out with this." " You know who it is?" " I think so." "Hey, is this California's sexiest gift to Denver?" "Tell me it's my lucky day that you're free and I can pick you up for lunch." "Oh." "Well, Mr. Dexter," "I was looking for a good excuse to get out of here." "Well, I'm on my way." "Well, well, well." "The lady told me she was into twists and turns." "I should have remembered." "How did it happen?" "You told me you put together one of the best medical teams in the world." " What happened?" " Blake." "I'm sorry." "I'm very sorry." "I keep seeing Krystle's face before they wheeled her into surgery." "Smiling." "Optimistic." "With all the things that I have, even with all the money I have," "I couldn't help her." "Blake, it's over." "Charles, I..." "I tell you, I don't know what I'm gonna do." " You go home." "That's what you do." " To what?" "To your family, your children." "You've been in Switzerland for over two weeks now." "Kristina needs you more than ever." "Blake, you've got a life to lead." "I can't leave Krystle when she's like this." " Blake, she's dead." " No!" "She's dead, Blake." "Her heart's still beating, but she's dead." "What about her mind?" "What makes you think that she can't hear, that she can't understand?" "There's no significant brain activity." "Nobody's saying that we should cut off the life support system." "Medically, Krystle's still alive." "But I'm telling you, not as a doctor but as a your friend, you've got to accept it." "She's gone." "Besides, the two of you had an understanding." "You agreed to the terms of her living will, and there were divorce papers." "I don't give a damn about the papers." "Well, she did, and for good reason." "She knew it might come to this, and she wanted freedom for both of you." "So I'm just supposed to just leave?" "Not even take time to mourn?" "Blake, you've been mourning her for three years now." "Ever since I first told you about her condition." "Charles, I know what you're saying and I respect it." "I just don't think I can do it." "You've got to let her go, Blake." "For your sake." "For your family's and for Krystle's." "It was her last wish." "You owe it to everyone to honour it." "Actually, I think you'd really enjoy fencing." "I'm not exactly the graceful type." "Mrs. Colby, excuse me, you have a call from Los Angeles." "Oh, thank you, Robert." "I'll take it in the office." "Well, we nearly made it out." "Look, you just wait here." "It shouldn't take long." "Ooh." "Excuse me." "Well, what a surprise." "I hardly recognised the two of you without your trampoline." "Dexter, you met Virginia at the wedding, I believe." "Oh, yes, we did." "Krystle's cousin." "You remembered." "And this is Joanna Sills, my vice president in charge of acquisitions." "Hello." "Mr. Dexter and I were just finishing some details on the hotel sale." "How very fortunate Alexis is to have someone working so hard on her behalf." "Very thorough of you, Joanna." "Well, what do you think?" " What?" " My face." "You've been staring at it." " I wasn't staring at it." " Ha-ha." "You should be used to women appraising you by now, Dexter." "A man so dashing and who flaunts it so well." "Joanna, may I have a word with you, please?" "Sure." "Well, don't mind her." "She just says things sometimes." "I was really sorry to hear about Krystle." " Were you?" " Yes." "Blake and I are very close friends." "And Krystle too?" "Were you close to her?" "Look, I don't know what this is about, miss." "If I've offended you in some way, just tell me." "I wasn't aware there were any loose ends to tie up on the hotel sale." "Oh, there aren't, but I have a feeling that Dexter is after something else." "He called me earlier today, invited me to lunch." "Mr. Dexter has never struck me as a let's-do-lunch type." "I wonder if there's some special favour he expects." "Oh, well, whatever it is, I'll fill you in later." "Assuming, of course, that it's pertaining to business." "Oh, of course it is." "Good." "I have always trusted your judgement, Joanna." "You know, the wonderful thing about doing business with another woman is one generally knows exactly what the other is thinking." "Well, I think we're finally ready." "Nice to see you, Dexter." "Same here, Sable." "Have a lovely afternoon." " I'm so relieved I didn't lose you." " What?" "To Miss Congeniality." "She couldn't take her eyes off you." "Yeah." "I wonder why I'm not flattered." "Please?" "Okay, Danny, that's enough." "But Aunt Krystle taught me how to ride without a saddle." "Krystle's not..." "Look, we'll talk about it later." " That means no, doesn't it?" " Not always." "Uhn." "Now, you go on into the house." "I'll take Ranger in." "There sure are a lot of ways to say no." "Hank?" "Clint?" "Mommy, what's wrong?" "Oh, God." " What happened?" "I'm not..." "I'm not sure." "How come you're on the ground like that?" "I don't know, sweetheart." "Just help me up." "Miss Carrington, what happened here?" "Hold on." " I just want to get my bearings." "You okay?" "Someone was in here." "I guess they jumped me." "Uhn." "If it was one of the hands, believe me, I'll find out..." "I don't know." "They just surprised me." "I'll find out who he was." "Here, let me help you up to the house." "You can lean on me, Mommy." "I know I can, sweetheart." "Let's go." "Ow!" "Ow." "Don't be such a baby." "It'll help bring down the swelling." " It's very cold." " My hero." "Crack-the-whip, huh?" "I think you broke my ankle." "It's not broken." "This is some way of saying thanks." "Thanks?" "For what?" "Your boyfriend out at the lake, I thought maybe you'd like to know that we've been closing in on an ID on him." "Fast work, Zorelli." "It's only been, what, two months?" "Harmon Springs is a very small department." "We don't have the resources or the manpower..." "Well, you certainly know how to make a citizen feel protected." "We did stumble onto something very interesting." "I notice you're pretty good at stumbling." "You know that mining company, Colterton?" "Time to go, Zorro." "Ow." "Ow." "It's clever how they got that name, isn't it?" "Col for Colby, Ter for Dexter, Ton for Carrington." "Funny, I never knew that those three families were in business together." "Colterton." "You know, I hear after 10 years of mining, they never hauled up anything." "If you're asking me a question, you're asking the wrong person." "I don't know one end of a mine from the other." " Hey, I'm just making conversation." " You never just make conversation." "As a matter of fact, I have been trying to track down your father." "I hear he's out of town?" "You didn't know about Krystle?" "I heard she had some kind of operation or something." "Yeah." "Some kind of operation." "I don't know much about it." "Was it serious?" " Yes." " I'm sorry." "Look, L.B.'s done with his lesson." "I gotta go." "Hey, hey, hey." "After what you did, you're not gonna buy pizza that we keep talking about?" "You keep talking about." "Why don't you take some aspirin?" "It'll be a lot better for your ankle than pizza." "So I guess a ride home's out of the question, huh?" "All right, Dex." "I have waited through two martinis, a piece of dry fish, and one hour of you trying to flatter the pants off of me." "Did I succeed?" "Well, I'll let you know as soon as you tell me what you really wanted to talk to me about." " You interest me." " Mm." "You know all the right moves, you know how to play the game." "I think you're on the wrong team." "Don't tell me you're offering me a job." "Does the idea shock you?" "Well, I know what I would do for Dexter." "I'm not sure what I would do for Dexter Enterprises." "Well, I'm not sure either but, as you know, I'm expanding rapidly." "Yes, I noticed that the other night." "Well, especially in the area of land acquisition," "I've done some preliminary head-hunting." "Looking at a few good people." "Jed Harris at Hanford Oil." "Fritz Heath at Colbyco." "Know them?" "Mm." "I don't think so." "Moneymen." "I'm a bit surprised you haven't heard of them." "Not in Harris' case, but Fritz Heath, he's been around a long time." " Has he?" " Yeah, Alexis says he's a good man." "Oh, then I sincerely hope you get him." "And you're not interested?" "I'm not so sure I'd be comfortable working with someone as complicated as you." " Me?" " Mm-hm." "I'm just a simple kind of guy." "Right." "Who's still involved with his ex-wife, has a strange young woman who's fascinated with him, and has just offered a job to a lady whose boss is also interested in him." "Come on, Sable can't stand me." "Well, I could be wrong." "You could be wrong about me too." "Well, there's always that possibility." "I never completely close doors." "Anyhow, thanks for lunch." "Next time, it's on me." "Good." "I'll order something I can lick off." "Men like Dexter, they make wonderful lovers." "Wonderful." "But trust them?" "Take them seriously?" "Never." "I don't think there's any danger of that." "Oh, you're drawn to him and that's dangerous." "Remember that whatever he says to you, whatever he does, his ultimate loyalty is to Alexis." "You could say that they deserve each other but, frankly, nobody deserves Alexis." "We're repainting and fixing things up a little." "Where did it happen?" "Back there, in the tack room." "I noticed that the lock was broken so I opened the door and, wham, he just knocked me down." "It was probably one of those kids that Clint hired." "He knew he wasn't supposed to be in there and he got scared." "Maybe you should beef up security." "Is anything missing?" "No." "Clint and Hank checked everything." "And see?" "They've even changed the locks." "Well, now that we're alone..." "So that's why you brought me out here." "Oh, that never crossed my mind." " But if we have to be here..." " Oh, we don't have to be here." "Oh, it's funny, I mean, here we are." " Destiny put us here." " Destiny?" " We didn't have to come out here." " You said you wanted to look around." "Sammy Jo, it's been such a long time." "Since what?" "Since anything." "Oh, really?" "No accidental meetings with any ex-wives?" "I was a jerk." "That thing with Fallon was..." "Inevitable is the word that comes to mind." "Guess what's inevitable right now?" "Let's see." " Ah." "Must bring something to mind." "Feeding the horses?" "I figured that while we're here..." "Wouldn't want it to be a complete waste of time, is that it?" "I missed you." "I don't know." "I mean, the horses..." "Oh, the horses aren't gonna tell anybody." "No, I don't know." "I just never quite trusted that pinto." "Well, I had a nice long talk with him." "I missed you too." "I think this is what they call a roll in the hay." "Giddyap, horsie." "Let me help you out." "The Vitron payment was 4 and a half million dollars." "Now, by some strange coincidence, over the past few days, you have withdrawn funds from six separate Colbyco accounts and dumped them into a seventh." "Guess how much money is in that account?" "Four and a half million." "So?" "So the Vitron payment was supposed to be income." "Income." "That 4 and a half million didn't come in, it was already here." "Well, these six accounts weren't earning enough interest." "I just rolled them over into one jumbo account that pays more." "Yeah, but that money, that 4 and a half million was ours to begin with." "It was supposed to be new money from Vitron." "I wanna know where that money is." "It's right here." "Ha-ha." "I can understand how you got the wrong idea." "I set up this deal thinking that that cheque would be in on Tuesday." "And then when it wasn't, I just shifted the funds." "Well, that makes sense, doesn't it?" "Yeah." "It's almost scary." "Tell me, Fritz." "What have you got in mind for the 56 million due from Strasser/Silicon?" "I'm working on that." "Oh." "How is Mrs. Colby faring in Africa?" "She should have her ships ahoy any day now." "Great." "She's some lady, isn't she?" "Mm-hm." "Yo, yeah." "He's on his way down." "Did you get anything on him?" "No." "He's so damn clean, he squeaks." "I wanna find out where he hides his dirt." "Where have you been?" "I went to Copenhagen for a good Danish." "Funny man." "What's with the foot?" "What is this, 20 questions?" "I tripped." " You did more than trip this time." " Good morning, captain." "I got a bill here from the bureau for some photo you sent them last week." " Oh, here we go." " Oh, that." "Well, you see, sir, I had Fallon Carrington come in and check out a morgue shot of the stiff we found, and while she was looking at it, she pulled out this other photo..." "You told me all that already." "And I told you we couldn't afford pouring department money into a murder case that's 25 years old." "Yes, sir, I know that..." "But you went behind my back anyway." "I'm sorry, sir, but you see, back in Philly..." "This isn't Philadelphia." "This is Harmon Springs, Colorado." "And in Harmon Springs, Colorado, sergeants follow their captain's orders." " Yes, sir, but..." " You've been here less than a year and from day one you're trying to find some case you can turn into a headline and make a career out of it." "That's not fair, sir." "I know the Carringtons are important, but the fact is we have a murder." "We can't even identify a 25-year-old stiff, much less find out who killed him." "That makes me upset." "That makes me want answers, I call that being a good cop." "And I call it grandstanding." "You wanna solve murders?" "We got three that don't go back six presidents." "Work on them." "And you." "You ever wanna make lieutenant?" "Make sure that your partner keeps his nose where it belongs." "Yes, sir." "Can't say I didn't warn you." "Homicide." "Yes, Mr. Homicide, I'd like to speak to Mr. Zorelli, please." "And what do you want?" "Well, I was thinking of apologising for yesterday, but..." "You know, because of you I have my butt and my ankle in a sling now." "You must look adorable in that position." "That's cute." "I'm limping around the office like some deputy out of Gunsmoke," "Marshall Dillon just busted my chops for ruffling your family's feathers." "Man, are my ears working right?" "I could say I'm sorry." "You know, on Thursdays, I usually jog to Oronetto's for a pizza, but now I'm crippled, I'll have to eat doughnuts." "If my ankle's not much, much better," "I'm gonna have Richards drive me home." "Heh." "You're in for a long wait, brother." "Oh, you're breaking my heart, Zorelli." "Well, that just about makes us even, doesn't it?" "Well, then let's quit now." "Adam." "Shut up." "Okay?" "You want it quiet?" "Keeping your foot in your mouth." "Might be good for your ankle." "Ow!" "Ow." "Ow." "Good, Zorelli." "Very good." "Checking for dust?" "No." "This was one of Krystle's favourite pieces." "I never liked it." "We didn't get that close." "But now that she's gone, I miss her." "She was so good for Dad." "She'll be back." "I know it." "I hope so, but..." "Now, I'm curious about your mother." "Tell me about her and Dex." "They were married, weren't...?" "Dad, you're back." "Would you take these, please?" "Hello, Adam." "Daddy." "Hello, darling." "She didn't come back, did she?" "No." "She didn't come back, darling." "I wanna thank you all for making our wedding the celebration that it was." "I can't tell you what it meant to us." "Krystle never stopped talking about it." "Your love and joy carried us along." "Right up to the time of the surgery, we held onto our hope and we kept telling each other that, oh, in a week or so, we..." "We'd be back on our honeymoon." "As I told Kristina upstairs, the one question you all have is the one that I don't have an answer to." "I just don't know if Krystle is ever going to come out of her coma." "Oh, God." "The only way we can deal with that is to accept it." "Krystle is gone." "But she's not dead." "Sammy Jo, Krystle's spirit will never leave this house nor any of our hearts." "But I am determined to carry out her wish that our lives must go on." "They must." "Uh..." "Some years ago Krystle and I visited an old monastery in Portugal." "They had a beautiful wine cellar, filled with lots of port wines, and this one was very special." "They called it their porto de vida." "Port of life." "Yeah." "And they told us that if we drank the wine from that bottle that we'd have eternal life and good fortune." "They gave us the bottle and we never opened it." "The plan was to..." "Was to open it on our 25th wedding anniversary." "But..." "To Krystle." " Krystle." " To Krystle." "And maybe someday, God willing," "Krystle and I will..." "You can't let go of her either." "I thank you all for being here." "And I thank you for listening to me." "It's too bad Fallon couldn't be here for this." "Adam." "Yes." "Yes, where is she, anyway?" "I don't think you wanna know, Dad." "Mm." "She's with that detective again." "Blake." "Jeff told me you were back." "I'd better go check on Kristina." "I don't know what to say." "Thank you." "I'm glad you came." "We need to talk, you and I." "Excuse us, please." "You had to bring up Fallon, didn't you?" " She should have been here." " I agree with you." "But you didn't have to throw it in his face." "Dex, how much do you know about Colterton?" "Just what my father told me, that it was a venture between the three families." "Started out as a mining operation." "And?" "Well, at one point, they got involved in something that had nothing to do with mining." "He said that if what happened down at the bottom of the lake ever came to light that it would put shame on the families." "Let me tell you what my father said to me about this thing." "He said, "Son, whenever you have children, you better protect them." "Never let them see what you've done wrong."" "You're saying that my father went wrong?" "The three of them did." "Your father, my father and Jason Colby." "But that's all done, that's all finished." "What you and I have to do now is we have to protect that secret." "I've spoken to Alexis." "Now, she hasn't mentioned you, but I'm sure she hasn't forgotten about Roger Grimes." "Yeah, but Alexis is our problem." "Now, this Grimes thing has nothing to do with the project or what happened at the bottom of that lake." "But when Alexis gets back, if she calls for an investigation, they're going to be going through this whole thing we're talking about with a fine-tooth comb." "It could open up everything." "You wanna know if there's anything I can do to stop her?" "Dex, I need to know where you stand." "Well, there's no love lost between her and me right now, I can assure you." "Yeah, but what about tomorrow?" "You and Alexis have always had your ups and downs." "Blake, you've already said it." "This is as important to the name of my family as it is to yours." "I'll do anything I can to protect it." "Good." " Problems?" " Hamilton Stone." "I told him not to underestimate that barracuda." "Don't tell me Alexis is going to get her ships back." "Well, she's already made contact with the royal family down there, you know how easily impressed they are with cheap trinkets like herself." "She's has also managed to put out most of the fires we started in her overseas offices." "I swear, I sometimes wonder if she doesn't have a spy of her own sniffing around my offices." "Which reminds me." "How was your lunch with Mr. Dexter, Joanna?" " Well, he offered me a job." " Really?" "Yes." "And he brought up Fritz Heath's name several times." "Oh, on a fishing expedition, was he?" "Seems like it." "I wonder." "Now, we made the initial contact with Mr. Heath." "I wonder if he told Dexter that we were trying to get in touch with him." "I only ask because Heath phoned our L.A. Office today, because we'd been missing each other by phone, and he wants to get together." "Should I set it up?" "Maybe." "But first, I think we should get a little more background on Heath." "We've searched high and low for the weak link in Colbyco." "Let's just make sure that it is Heath, that it's not just that Dexter is trying to use him as a Trojan horse." "Your left foot's really bothering you, huh?" "Oh, man, you better believe it." " You've had a run of bad luck lately." " Yes, I have." "Because yesterday it was your right foot." "Oh, yeah." "Right." "Right." "Anyhow, I didn't want you to starve." "This is nice." "This is very nice." "I just thought, if you couldn't walk, and you couldn't drive, and then you died of starvation that maybe your partner would arrest me for manslaughter." "Anyway, your ankle looks a lot better." "I'm a tough cop." "I work through the pain." "Brave man." "Get in." "Warm." "You prefer it cold?" "Hot." "A pizza should be hot, dripping with onions and cheese and anchovies," " if a person likes that kind of thing." " I'll try to remember that." " I wasn't being critical." " Really?" "You can't stay away from me, can you?" "How would you like that warm pizza in your face?" "That's not exactly what I had in mind." "Hey, what are you two doing in there?" "Oh-ho." "Zorelli." "You got lucky." "You know, this pizza really is just warm." "Next time, I'll bring a microwave." "I know a place where we can heat it up." "Get in your car." "I'll follow you." "What is this?" " Here." " Mm." "Virginia." "Uh..." "This is a real surprise." "You really don't remember me, do you?" " Of course I do." " No." "Before yesterday at The Carlton." "Before the wedding." "Come on, Dex, think real hard." "Look, if we've met before, I mean, before this week, just tell me." " Bastard." " Look, if I've done something to you..." "Done something?" "What could you possibly have done and then forgot about?" "Excuse me." " Hello." " It's Joanna." "Hi." "I can't believe this." " Just wanted to see if you were home." " Yeah, but it's hard..." "Hard to keep track of all the women in your life, isn't it, Dex?" "I'll talk to you a little later." "Oh, I've been thinking about Fritz Heath." "Heath?" "What about him?" "You were on a fishing expedition at lunch, weren't you?" "How many have there been, Dexter?" "Fifty?" "Five hundred?" "What are you talking about a fishing expedition?" "You had no intention of hiring either Fritz Heath or me." "You just wanted to get my reaction when you mentioned his name." "And you didn't have one." "Now you're telling me that you know him?" "I think we need to talk." "Now, Dex." "Do you remember me now?" "Oh, yeah, Bonnie." "Was I that forgettable, Dex?" "No, I..." "Oh, good God..." "What's the matter, Dex?" "Always so smooth, so sure of yourself." "Haven't you got anything to say?" "Yeah." "I know." "I'm a little different, right?" "A little older?" "A hell of a lot wiser." "But it's me, Dex." "I used to call myself Ginger." "I guess I should have remembered." "You damn well should have." "You're so beautiful." "I am not interested in how Alexis wanted the dining room to look." "She wouldn't know an elegant restaurant from a greasy spoon." "Speaking of which..." "Ah." "Jeffrey." "Twenty minutes late." "I guess that's right on time for you." "Poor Jeff." "Little things always meant such a lot to you." "May I get you something, Mrs. Colby?" "Oh, no, thank you, Robert." "I won't be staying long." "All right." "Well, isn't this quaint?" "Just the two of us." "You've been here a few months." "It was time that we sit down, have a little talk." "I agree." "But why is it I get the feeling that you didn't ask me here to kiss and make up for old times?" "I'm curious." "What are you doing here in Denver?" "Enjoying the climate." "Look, there are good business opportunities here." "It also gives me an opportunity to rebuild my life after Jason." "You never could get over the fact that he turned out to be my father." "And that he and my mother ran off together." "Oh." "What a unique way you have of ingratiating yourself." "I don't owe you anything." "After all of your attacks on me for all those years," "I don't owe you a damn thing." "Then, what is running through that relentlessly brainless head of yours?" "I told you." "What are you doing here in Denver?" "And for the life of me, I can't imagine that it's any of your damn business." "I can't imagine your thinking it's a secret." "I beg your pardon?" "It's brilliant." "It's perfect timing." "Krystle gets sick, Blake needs some support." "You come along to provide comfort." "Are you suggesting that there's something wrong in my helping Blake and Krystle?" "Helping?" "Ha-ha-ha." "You planned the wedding." "Oh, you befriend Krystle's cousin," "Blake or Krystle need anything, you're right there." "Some people would call that being kind." "Some people might think you came along to fill a particular void." "Now I have that quivering feeling you're about to insinuate something that should be beneath even you." "Look, I know you, Sable." "You may think you're fooling the Carringtons, but you're not fooling me." "Ever since my father had the good sense to get rid of you, you've been on the prowl for a new coat of arms." "Now, Blake's a free man." "Isn't that why you're here now?" "Oh, Jeffrey." "What is one to do with you?" "I suppose that I should know by now how that disgusting little mind of yours works." "You fouled the very roots of my family, so naturally you would assume that I would do the same." "No." "I am not after Blake Carrington." "Not in the way that you mean." "Well..." "If I'm wrong, you have nothing to worry about, do you?" "But just remember, the Carringtons haven't seen your act before." "But I have."
