Quotes[]

Jason Colby: I went to through the same thing when you born. Monica was strong and healthy, but you... we didn't think you were gonna make it.
Miles Colby: Oh yeah. Mom's often talked about that.
Jason Colby: Oh, she didn't see it, the worst of it. I did. That first night, you were in bad shape. My son. You're not supposed to try and make bargains with God, but I sure set him up some good deals that night.
Channing Colby: What's the matter, Fallon? Do you think I'm some sort of witch or something? Is that why you haven't touched the fruit that I sent you? Well it's not poisoned, and neither are these. [picks up the flowers she brought and leaves]
Channing Colby: Why do I get the feeling you don't like me?
Jeff Colby: Trust your instincts.
Jason Colby: I want us to be married.
Francesca Langdon: What will Sable do then, still live here?
Jason Colby: Of course not. Darling, she just lives in my house, you live in my heart.
Francesca Langdon: No, I live in your poolhouse. And you camp out here with me like a live-in lover. Is a wedding going to change that?
Jason Colby: Yes of course, she's got to leave, she knows that.
Francesca Langdon: She's still sleeping in the bed you brought her to as a bride.
Jason Colby: Not for long.
Monica Colby: [to Cash] Now, we have a full staff, 24 hour service, a beautiful guest room overlooking the Santa Monica Mountains, and me, right down the hall. Ready to give you some intensive care.
