Quotes[]
- Morgan Hess: What do you need?
Alexis Carrington Colby Dexter Rowan: Information about my husband.
Morgan Hess: [laughs] Which one?
Alexis Carrington Colby Dexter Rowan: Like your wardrobe, Mr. Hess, your sense of humor is not your strong suit.
- Sean Rowan: [Blake and Dex are trapped in a ship's hold and Sean is speaking to them via intercom] We have something in common, we three: two former and one present husband of the illustrious Alexis Colby. Isn't it marvelous, eh? How, only in America, could the son of a servant enjoy the fruits of a marriage in a rich and powerful family. But it's not quite the fate my sister had to endure. Or my father.
