"Adam, you know what I think about the Vitron oil deal." "I think it's too big, too fast." "Are you backing this deal because you've checked it out?" "Or are you for it because I'm against it?" "How much do you wanna prove yourself to Dad?" "How much do you need to use this company to assert your manhood?" "Last time on Dynasty:" "Stop it!" "All right, just to make it official, you both want this deal, right?" " Yes." " Absolutely." "I'm not going to make it unanimous, but it's two against one, so it's a go." "All work and no play?" "Aren't you worried about what Alexis might think?" "I never let anything interfere with business." "You've got guts, woman." "I admit it." "Maybe I just wanted too much too soon." "But we're here now." "Can we try again?" "What's the matter?" "I won't hurt you." "That's exactly what I'm afraid you will do." "Maybe you're just not man enough to take the heat." "Well, you're sounding more and more like Alexis every day." "I wanna win this election." "I am convinced that that upcoming debate will allow me to do that." "Of course, if Alexis continues to attack me on a personal level," "I say let's take the gloves off and we fight her." "We fight her with everything we have." "Good evening." "And welcome to Colorado's live gubernatorial debate." "It's a pleasure to have all three candidates here this evening:" "Blake Carrington," "Jim Rayford and Alexis Colby Rowan." "We'll begin our evening now with Mr. Blake Carrington." "Blake, I..." "Mother!" " Alexis." "Mother!" "Get an ambulance, quick!" "Damn!" "Damn!" "We need a doctor!" "There must be one in the building somewhere." "See if you can find one." "Come on, fellows." "Not now!" "Not now!" " Get out of here!" " Stand back, please." "Please!" "Alexis?" "Blake." "Bla..." "Alexis." "Don't die." "Oh, dear God, don't let her die." "Do you know who did this?" "Bingo!" "Officer, get him out of here!" "Dr. Brisdale, report to Dr. Parr..." "Blake." "That bullet must have been meant for you." "You know, darling, Jeff could be right." "We can't be sure of that." "Right now, the only one who matters is Alexis." "She's gonna be all right." "But why did it happen?" "The world is full of crazies and God knows what." "Mr. Rowan." " How is she, doctor?" " Very lucky." "The bullet only grazed her skull." "When can we see her?" "They're moving her to a room right now." "I'd like to keep her here a day or two." "But I'd like to hold all visitors until tomorrow." "Except for Mr. Rowan." "You can see her in a few minutes." "I'm gonna go talk to the police." "See what they know." "Isn't this how we first met?" "My bringing you to the hospital?" "Sean." " Sean." " Alexis, you'll be all right." "You'll be as good as new in a couple of days." "What about the police?" "They find any suspects yet?" "My first concern is you." "I'll be talking to them later." "God." "What is wrong with the world?" "This campaign has almost cost me my life." "Alexis, please." "Just because some emotionally disturbed person..." "Oh, Sean." "Next time, maybe it won't be an emotionally disturbed person." "Next time, maybe they won't miss." "That's why I've decided to withdraw from the race." "I'm gonna go back to running Colbyco." "That's where I belong." " Colbyco?" " Yes." "I should never have left it." "Never." "Never." "I don't care what time it is in Africa, you find Harry Thresher." "You tell him to call Sean Rowan in Denver, The Carlton Hotel." "Tell him it's urgent." "Very urgent." "Sean, this isn't right." "Don't go getting a conscience on me." "I think you should think about what you're doing." "I don't really think..." "I think maybe you should just think about this a little bit." "Oh, for God's sake, Sean." "Your wife is in the hospital." "She'll survive." " But I need you, Leslie." " Ugh." "I need you tonight." " Please, I feel uncomfortable." " No." "Don't..." "No." "Don't fight me." "Don't fight me." "Oh, can't you just stop for me, please?" " You want this as much as I do." " Oh..." "Stay here." "Yeah." "Yeah, Harry." "You're damn right it's urgent." "Now, pay attention." "I want the stuff loaded right away." "Don't ask questions." "Just move and move fast." "Things are happening." "We have to change our plans." "Now, I am flying to Natumbe tomorrow." "Oversee the operation myself." "You drag your feet on this one, Harry, baby, it'll be the last thing you ever do." "Yeah, yeah, yeah." "I'm still here, Harry." "Just get on with it." "Change of plans?" "Why Natumbe?" "Hello, Blake." "Alexis." "They said that you weren't gonna be allowed any visitors until tomorrow, but I wanted to see for myself how you were." "Are you all right?" "Nurse, would you mind leaving us for a minute, please?" "Blake, I'm really frightened." "Doesn't it scare you?" "Being that open a target?" "Well, that bullet could have hit you if I hadn't stood in front of you." "Yes." "You saved my live." "And you're right too." "It is unnerving standing out there, easy prey for any lunatic." "That's why I've decided not to run at all." "What did you say?" "Look, I wanted to do something for this state." "And what I get in return?" "A bullet through my head." "Well, whoever fired that bullet, his target just bowed out." "Are you serious?" "Yes." "I'm very serious." "I don't intend to be shot at twice." "Well, I don't know what to say." "Well, why don't you just say thank you?" "With me out of the running, it's gonna leave you clear sailing with Rayford." "You're sure about this?" "Oh, I'm very sure." "Colbyco is where I belong, Blake." "But if you do get into the Governor's Mansion," "I want you to make sure that I get at least one state dinner in my honour." "I think I can arrange that." "Well, it's good that you're all right." "Why don't you get some rest?" "Bye, Blake." "Alexis quitting." "I still can't believe it." "No, no." "I think she means it." "Once you've come that close to death..." "Blake, what if that bullet was meant for you?" " Mustn't start jumping to conclusions." " How do we know it wasn't?" "Maybe you should pull out of the race too?" " Listen..." " I don't wanna to lose you." "You're not going to." "You're never gonna get rid of me." "I'm gonna be around a long, long time." "Blake, I'm scared." "I'm really scared." "I know you are." "But once something like this happens, security gets much tighter." "Besides, when I agreed to run, we knew it was gonna be difficult, didn't we?" "Of course, not this difficult, but..." "Come on, now." "Everything is going to be all right." "Believe me." "I'll probably be able to go to sleep now." "Mrs. Rowan?" " Yes?" " Sorry to disturb you so late, but there's a man here who says he must talk to you." "What man?" "It's important, Mrs. Rowan." "Gordon Wales." "Is it all right?" "Yes." "This better be important." "Would you mind leaving us?" "I just thought you'd wanna have these notes." "You were obviously planning to withdraw from the race." "Where did you get these?" "In the confusion after the shooting, I, uh, found them just off the stage." "Deny it if you want, I think you were pulling out of the race because of the article I was planning on you and your, uh, deathbed marriage to Cecil Colby." "Don't flatter yourself, Mr. Wales." "I really don't care about what you or your nasty little magazine think." "Whatever." "Look, I came up here to set the record straight and, uh, maybe do you a big favour." "What sort of a favour?" "First of all, I want you to know that I'm not doing the article." "The truth is, regarding Colby's death, I have nothing but rumours to go on." "Lies, you mean." "It doesn't really matter." "Digging up dirt on candidates may be hot right now, but, uh, with all the reaction tonight," "I'd be tarred and feathered if I tried to take you on." "What reaction?" "They haven't told you?" "The phones have been ringing off the hook." "You're a heroine." "The sympathy and concern is pouring in." "You know, I didn't think much of your chances before, but I have a feeling if you ran for the presidency tonight, you'd give the front-runners a run for their money." "Why are you telling me all of this?" "I'm no fool." "You'd have figured this out soon enough." "But this way, I get on your good side, you stay in the race, and I've got a direct pipeline to a sure winner." "Speedy recovery." "I just don't understand why you have to go rushing off to Natumbe again." "There's so many things that we have to discuss." "Darling, this oil deal is important." "Until you come back to the company, I'm handling things." "Now, I need to be there." "Well, I thought you'd be interested to know" " that I've changed my..." " The doctor said you'll be fine." "And I'll be back before you know it." "Now, I've got to go, or I'll miss my plane." " Goodbye." " I love you." "All right." "Hello, Mother." "Fallon." "Ha, ha." "Hello, Mother." "You're looking much better." "Oh, thank you, Steven." "Adam will be along in a while." "It's so good to see both of you." "Flowers from all over the country." "And you should see the overflow outside." "Yes." "Perhaps you'd make sure that they find their way to the children's ward." "Perhaps it might brighten their day." "Well, these should brighten your day." "Pay particular attention to the one on top." "Hmm." "From the White House." "Heh." "Such a fuss over a flesh wound." "Mother, you could have been killed." "Mrs. Rowan." " Hold it, please." " Who are you?" "Come on." "Would you get out of here?" "Like it or not, you're front-page news." "Well, I don't like it right now." "We're gonna let you get some rest." " All right?" " All right, darling." " Feel better." " Mm, I will." "Thanks for coming." " Bye." " Bye." "Fallon." "Don't forget to send flowers to the children's ward." " I won't." " Bye." " Oh, I'm sorry, I was just..." " Mother?" "Oh, yes." "Russ, come on in." "Bye." "Excuse me." "Did my photographer get his picture?" "Your photographer?" "Russ, I don't appreciate being exploited like this." "Now, wait just a minute, Alexis." "Did I misunderstand you when we met earlier this morning?" "Didn't you agree that we should maximise this rush of sympathy and interest in your campaign?" " Yes, but I..." " Now, look." "I only know one way to work." "The media has a five-minute attention span and we've gotta make every minute count." "Now, to the public, you took a bullet meant for an opposing candidate." "Now, that makes you a heroine." " But I think that they're..." " Don't." "You pay me to do the thinking." "Now, listen to me." "You have a chance to be much more than just a spoiler in this election now." "My dear lady, you could win it." "Is it just my imagination or did we buy out every baby store in Denver?" "Well, Adam did say to spare no expense." "This is gonna be the best-dressed baby in Colorado." " Relax." "I'll make coffee in a second." " Okay." "Oh, Sammy Jo, thanks so much for going with us." "I wouldn't have known half of the things we need." "Thanks for the invitation." "And you'll be an expert in no time." "I can't talk right now." "Karen, is something wrong?" "Uh, no." "No, uh..." "Just someone I'd rather not talk to." "But you're shaking." "What did they say to upset you?" "Nothing." "Really." "I..." "I'm just tired." "I'd like to lie down." " Well, I..." " Maybe we should go." "You're sure you're okay?" "I'll call you later." "We did get some beautiful things for your baby." "You're still worried, aren't you?" "Well, whoever was on the phone really upset Karen." "I know, one minute she was happy, and then..." "Do you think it could have been a newspaper reporter?" "Or a lawyer?" "What are you talking about?" "Adam's been concerned." "Some surrogate mothers are changing their minds about giving up their babies." "They're going to court." "It's in this morning's paper." "I don't think Karen's that type of person." "This baby is so important to Adam." "And to me." "I just don't want anything to go wrong." "Karen." "I tried the front door, but no answer." "I thought you might be out here." "I told you on the phone I didn't wanna see you, Jesse." "I got these dolls here for the girls." "They in school?" "Yes, and I don't want you here when they get home." "They're my kids too, you know." "Now, this one, on the other hand..." "Not that I owe you an explanation, but I'm involved in a surrogate mother programme." "Yeah." "I've heard about those programmes." "Why are you doing it?" "I haven't seen a child support payment from you in over a year." "Didn't even know you were back in the country." "Okay, okay, okay." "I guess I deserve that." "How much are they paying you?" "None of your business." "Whatever jam you're in, I'm not bailing you out." "Not this time." "I didn't come back here to hit you up for money." "Then why did you come back?" "I came back because I've missed you and the kids." "And because I got tired of chasing whatever it was I thought I was going for." "I'm sorry, Jesse." "I've heard it all before." "Ever since high school." "There's a difference this time, Karen." "This time I mean it." "You're right." "There is a difference." "This time we're divorced and I don't have to listen anymore." "Yeah, well, that's another thing." "See, we're not divorced." "I couldn't bring myself to sign the final papers." "You're lying." "No." "We're still married." "And I still love you, Karen." "You look good, Mrs. Rowan." "Ladies and gentlemen." "Ladies and gentlemen, can I have your attention, please?" "Thank you." "Mrs. Rowan." "I want to thank all of you for being here on such short notice." "And I promise you that I won't take up too much of your time." "How are you feeling, Mrs. Rowan?" "Oh, more angry than injured." "This was just a graze." "But I'm very, uh, touched by the outpouring of love and support that I've received from people all over the country." "Tell us, what was your first thought, when you realised what had happened?" "Yes." "It was for the people of Colorado." "And for the people all over America." "It was a sadness for the violence that infests our society." "Why has she called a press conference?" "To officially announce her withdrawal, I would imagine." " Blake, she's on." " Ah." "I've given it much thought and consideration." "Some of my advisors have urged me to withdraw from the race because they are thinking about my safety." "And I appreciate that." "But I'm thinking about the people of this great state who have shown me by their love and support that they deserve a leader who has strength in government." " I don't believe it." " Blake?" "So I'm announcing today that I intend to stay in the fjght and win." "That is, jf the people of Colorado still want me." "She lied to you." "She never intended to withdraw." "Is it too late to use the information we have on her?" "Well, you can forget it now." "Alexis has so much sympathy going for her, any attack on her character would only backfire." "Well, let's look at it this way, if that bullet was meant for me then she saved my life." "But she's still got one hell of a fight on her hands, I tell you." "A fight that I intend to win." "Yes, Mr. Bingham." "I do understand it's serious." "I know a decision needs to be made." "I just need a little more time." "Okay." "I'll come in tomorrow." "Thank you." " Hi." " Hi." "The boys are still out riding." "Yeah." "I'm a little early." "Is something wrong?" "Is it Steven, or...?" "No." "No, this time it's me." "That was the bank politely reminding me that you can't borrow against your assets forever." " Have some coffee?" " No, thanks." "Are you in some kind of financial trouble?" "I took a calculated risk." "I borrowed against the horses I did have, to buy more I thought I should have." " And the market went soft." " Yep." "And now the same banker who made the loan is advising me to sell off a big chunk of Delta Rho to meet the loan." "Forget it." "I wish I could." "And I really tried to pull it off." "I wanted everyone to see that I could make it on my own." "Hey, Sammy Jo, even the biggest corporations have financial trouble." "Jeff, I can't sell this place." "I can't." "It was my father's." "Then don't." "How about some fresh capital to save the day?" "Capital from a partner." " A partner?" " Yeah, someone close to you." "Someone you can trust." "You can't be serious." "Why not?" "Heh, well, you don't know anything about this business." "Well, I do know the free market system, and you don't wanna back away now." "Corner the market." "Wait for a turnaround." "Besides, I see a big return on my investment." "What do you say, partner?" "Partners?" "Her banker's name is Bingham." "After you get in touch with him, have some preliminary papers drawn up, and then I'll take a look at them." "Good." "Well, my schedule is a little tight, but I think I could be in Los Angeles in a couple of days." "Ha, ha." "It'll be good to see you again too." "Bye-bye." " Dex." " Hello, Jeff." " Glad you could make it." " Got off the plane from Natumbe." "I heard about the shooting." "That why you wanted to see me?" "No, no, the, uh, police are investigating." "Excuse me." "I wanted to talk to you about the pipeline." "Jeff, you've got the wrong guy." "I quit that project." "Well, that's why I called." "You know that Colby Enterprises has a lot invested in that pipeline." "I don't envy you." "Not with Steven Carrington calling the shots." "I know Steven can be unreasonable, but..." "Unreasonable?" "Jeff, that's maybe the understatement of the year." "He became a real hard-head about the deadline." "We were late." "I knew that." "I had no control over the easement problems, but I would have worked them out." "Not good enough for him." "Dex, I don't feel comfortable without you on the project." "What will it take to get you back?" "Blake back at the helm of Denver-Carrington." "Jeff, I'm sorry, there's just too much conflict among those three kids." "I don't want to be in the middle of it." "I'm better off out of it." "I was just talking to Danny about what he wanted to be when he grows up." "He said three things:" "A computer analyst, a lawyer, and a rodeo champion." "Can you believe this kid?" "I think we have a very ambitious tyke on our hands." "Sammy Jo?" "Oh, I'm sorry, Steven, you were saying?" "I was saying I just put a little overachiever to bed." "Did you hear a word I've said?" "I'm trying to get a handle on the Delta Rho inventory." "I'll need it before the papers are drawn up." "What papers?" "I didn't get a chance to tell you." "I, uh..." "I had a little financial problem and I'm bringing in an investment partner." "Partner?" "Who?" "You didn't go to a bank or a broker, did you?" "No." "I guess you're gonna find out sooner or later." "Jeff is buying into Delta Rho." " I don't believe it." " It was a fair offer." " And the bank was advising to sell off." " Why didn't you come to me?" "Because I knew you'd wanna help." "That doesn't make any sense." "Look, I know you won't understand, but the last thing I wanted to do was use you..." "Use me?" "Well, maybe that's the wrong word." "Look, we're no longer married and I don't wanna be dependent on you anymore." "I'll never find myself that way." "But you will with Jeff." "Is there more than money changing hands between you two?" "I won't dignify that with an answer." "Please leave." " Steven." " Hey, Jeff." "Can I come in?" "Sure." " Nice place." " Thanks." "Can I get you something?" "No, I can't stay very long." "I just wanted to come over and try to clear the air between us." "About what?" " The pipeline." " You came to talk about the pipeline?" "I heard you met with Dex and tried to get him to come back." "And I understand." "Colby Enterprises has a lot riding on that project." "So does Denver-Carrington." "Is that why you harassed Dex until he quit?" "Jeff, I didn't come over here to argue with you." " Why did you come over here?" " To strike a deal." "What kind of deal?" "A deal where everybody wins." "Mm." "I'm listening." "You want the pipeline complete." "So do I. And since we both agree" "Dex is the best man for the job, I'm willing to bring him back." "In exchange for what?" "I made a promise to myself after Matthew Blaisdel died." "I was going to stay in Denver and see to it that my family was protected and provided for." "Are you talking about my investment in Delta Rho?" "I want you to back out of it, Jeff." "Tell Sammy Jo you changed your mind." "Does Sammy Jo know about this little deal of yours?" "No." "And I don't want her to." "Has it ever occurred to you that Sammy Jo doesn't want your help?" "And as far as Dex is concerned, he's not coming back to work for you." "So you'd better find another way of meeting your obligations with Colby Enterprises." "And what about Sammy Jo's obligation to your investment?" "Oh, come on, Steven." "You're way off base." "And if Sammy Jo wants me as a partner, the deal goes through." "We'll see about that." "You messed up my sister's life," "I am not gonna let you do that to Sammy Jo." "Hello, Don?" "It's Jeff Colby here in Denver." "I'm sorry to call you at this time of night, but I want you to do something for me in the morning." "As soon as the New York Stock Exchange opens," "I want you to buy as much available Denver-Carrington stock as you can get your hands on." "It's for me." "But keep my name out of it." "Grab all you can get." "Bye." "Thank you, Richard." "Blake, I have to talk to you." "I'm sorry." "I'm busy at the moment." "Too busy to return my phone calls?" "Blake, I have come here from the hospital because I want to explain to you." "Explain what?" "Why you lied to me about withdrawing from the race?" "I didn't lie." "I had every intention of withdrawing." "But I just could not ignore the outpouring of support that I've had from the people of Colorado." "Blake, you have no idea." "The messages, the phone calls, the letters that I've had." "And they've said the same thing:" ""Stay in the race, Alexis." "We need you."" "Now look, you're telling me...?" "Listen, Blake, the people of Colorado are seeing me now as a genuine candidate for governor." "Despite what you say the people want, you and I know that the only reason why you're in this race is to destroy my campaign." "Well, it didn't work before, it's not gonna work now." " Blake..." " Excuse me, I have a speech to make." "And I believe that one of the prime obligations for state government is to provide decent housing for all its citizens." "And as of today, I am putting all slum landlords on notice." "I'm telling them, "Clean up your act, or when I get to the state capitol, I'll clean it up for you."" "How can you help us?" "Living in your big mansion, driving your big cars." "Have you ever been poor?" "Yes, I've been poor." "You know, my family has been here in the state of Colorado for three generations, and not one of them has ever had anything more than just the clothes on his back." "Yeah, we know what it was to be poor, we know what it was to go to bed at night hungry." "And along the way, ma'am, I learned what hard work was." "And that's just what I intend to do for you on your behalf." "Work hard." "If you'll just give me the chance." "Thank you." "Thank you very much." "Together we can make it happen." "You're right." "The truth does win elections." "Yes." "And Alexis is gonna find that out pretty soon." "You sorry you volunteered?" "No." "Blake is wonderful." "I want to do more." "And speaking of wonderful," "I can't thank you enough for your investment, partner." "Well, I think I know a good investment when I see one." "I just hope I can pick a horse." "I'll teach you everything you need to know." "Jeff." "Excuse me." " What if I need more than one?" " You can take as many as you like." "You know what I'd really like?" "Why don't you do us both a favour and keep it to yourself." "There you go." "I'm so glad you're all right, Mrs. Rowan." "Thank you, Jennifer." "There's a backlog of phone calls, speech confirmations, telegrams from well-wishers." "Oh, well, I'll have to look at all of them later." "Would you get ahold of Leslie, tell her that I wanna talk to her." "I'm sorry, Mrs. Rowan, I thought you knew." " Knew what?" " Miss Carrington left for Natumbe." "Natumbe." "Did she go with Mr. Rowan?" "No, she took a different flight." "Shall I call and see if I can reach her?" "No, no." "That will be all." "Thanks, Jennifer." "Yes, Danny, we'll be there just as soon as Uncle Jeff gets back." "That's right." "I love you." "Bye-bye." "I'll be with you in a second, Jeff." "The office is closed." "Yeah, that's why I stopped by." "This can be a rough neighbourhood at night." "Well, that's very nice of you." "But I'll be fine." "You don't look like the political type to me." "And what is the political type?" "Hey, hey, I didn't mean anything by it." "You're beautiful, you know that?" "Really beautiful." " Please don't do that." " Hey, what's the matter?" "Heh." "I'm not gonna hurt you or anything." "I like you." "I've never met anybody like you before." " Would you just leave?" " What the hell is this, the brush off?" "You're all the same." "You little rich girls, you bring it down here, you flaunt it around." " I saw the way you looked at me." " Let go!" "In this neighbourhood, sweetheart, it doesn't work like that." "No." "In this neighbourhood, what you show, you owe." "Ooh." "Rich and hot, I like that." "Jeff!" "You all right, huh?" "She's okay." "Well, she's resting now." "Blake, thanks for taking care of Danny tonight." "I didn't want him to see her like this." "Sure." "I'll talk to you tomorrow." "Bye." "Jeff." "It's all right." "It's all right." "Nobody's gonna hurt you." "Danny." "L..." "Danny's spending the night with Blake and Krystle." " I was so scared." "I thought..." " I know, I know." "He said that I was looking at him, teasing him." "Come on now, don't be so hard on yourself." "You didn't do anything." "Why don't you lie down?" "Close your eyes and get some sleep." "Thank you for being there again when I needed you." "I don't understand why you can't find Mr. Rowan." "I know he arrived there hours ago." "Never mind." " Who is it?" "It's Dex." " Dex, hello." " Hi." "You up to a little get-well visit?" "Yes, of course I am." "Come on in." " For a speedy recovery." " Ha-ha-ha." "Thank you." "My favourite perfume." "You remembered." "That is so sweet." "I didn't wanna bother you at the hospital." " Figured it'd be a zoo." " Yes, it was." "Thank you for your concern." "Not fun, huh?" "No." "Not fun at all." "God." "You feel so vulnerable when you're in the public eye, Dex." " Just a sitting target for anyone." " But you're gonna stay in the race." "Oh, yes." "I have to." "But next time, I'm gonna have protection." "Oh, speaking of which, where is your husband?" "He had to go to Natumbe on business." "Well, if it were me, Alexis, they couldn't have dragged me from that hospital room." "Well, that's very sweet of you, Dex." "But it's not you." "Yeah." "Alexis, what do you know about Harry Thresher?" "The oil minister in Natumbe." "Oh, he's part of the Vitron deal." "Why?" "What did Sean tell you about him?" "They're not strangers, Alexis." "What are you getting at?" "Look, whatever else has gone down between us, I do care about you." "I don't trust Thresher." "Does that mean that you also don't trust my husband?" "I didn't say that." "I think you should keep an eye on what's going on there." "Yes, well, I think that you should keep your accusations to yourself." "Alexis, I'm not here to knife Sean." "I'm trying to help you." "Yes, well, I appreciate that." "If you really want to do that, why don't you just leave me now because I'm feeling rather tired." "I'd like to take a nap." "Yeah, Harry, I just got in." "Now, is everything ready to go in Port Baddi?" "Good." "Good." "I'll get into some clothes and head right out there." "No, I wanna see the cargo loaded myself." "Now, I'll be in touch." "What the hell are you doing here?" "Invite me in and you'll find out." "Why did you follow me here?" "Oh, maybe I missed you." "You're messing with me and that's a mistake." " Now what are you doing here?" " You're hurting my arm." "You are testing my patience." "Now what are you doing here?" "I know what you're up to." "What are you talking about?" "I don't have all the pieces yet, but, uh..." "What pieces?" "I think you figured out a way to make a personal profit on the Vitron deal." "Over and above what's happening at Colbyco and Denver-Carrington." "You have an overripe imagination." "I'm right, aren't I?" "Sean, all I want is a piece of the action." "I'm tired of being a salaried employee." "Poor relation." "Two steps above a servant." "What the hell would you know about that?" "About being a servant?" "Heh."
