• Felicia Scorpio Jones : Everyone has to try and stay calm.

  Dr. Monica Quartermaine : Well, that shouldn't be too difficult. It wouldn't be the first time a homicidal maniac has wandered around these grounds.

  Dr. Alan Quartermaine : Well, at least this time it's not one of us.

  Tracy Quartermaine : And is that supposed to be funny?

• Tracy Quartermaine : Let me make this perfectly clear - I find you hideous on every conceivable leave. I have wanted you gone from the very first moment you slithered into my mother's rose garden. Why would I help you?

  Heather Grant Webber Quartermaine : Because we want the same thing Tracy - Money.

  Tracy Quartermaine : You don't have any. And your husband is working for small change.

  Heather Grant Webber Quartermaine : But I have other plans for Edward and his estate. If you help me, I'll give you half his fortune.

• Tracy Quartermaine : What ever do you want? Make it fast.

  Skye Quartermaine Jacks : Why, Aunt Tracy, is that anyway to talk to family?

  Tracy Quartermaine : You know, the rest of the Quartermaine's may tolerate your fraudulent use of the family name. I, however, will not.

  Skye Quartermaine Jacks : Well, blood ties or not I do happen to care about the Quartermaine's, and that includes Edward.

  Tracy Quartermaine : Poor Daddy, practically checked himself into Shadybrook when he married Heather Webber.

  Skye Quartermaine Jacks : You helped Heather have him committed there. Something tells me you regret that.

  Tracy Quartermaine : Something tells me you're drinking again.

• Skye Quartermaine Jacks : Well, there won't be much of Edward's money left once Heather gets through with it. She just invested $2 million into the Haunted Star.

  Tracy Quartermaine : She has no right to start spending my father's money.

  Skye Quartermaine Jacks : Well, I agree. Heather's has even less of a standing in this family than I do. So why don't you set your sights on eliminating her?

  Tracy Quartermaine : I tried. No one would listen.

  Skye Quartermaine Jacks : Well, there's still time, Tracy. Get Edward out of Shadybrook, get him to see that this lovely bride is nothing but a moneygrubbing vulture.

• Skye Quartermaine Jacks : So will you help me save Edward?

  Tracy Quartermaine : Doesn't mean that we're friends, right?

  Skye Quartermaine Jacks : I hate the sight of you, too.

  Tracy Quartermaine : Fine. Let's go get my father.

• Tracy Quartermaine : The game is over, my father knows everything.

  Heather Grant Webber Quartermaine : I don't know what you've been told, but I wasn't responsible for having you committed.

  Tracy Quartermaine : You did everything but drive the van.

• Skye Quartermaine Jacks : Here to savor your victory?

  Tracy Quartermaine : You bet I am. I swore I'd get you out of my family, and now I have.

  Skye Quartermaine Jacks : You have hated me for so long, Tracy. What wasted energy, because each time you lash out at someone you lose them. I find it so ironic that I don't have a drop of Quartermaine blood in me and yet I have their love. You haven't driven me out of this family. In fact, you've only given them incentive to rally around me. I finally have a family that I can count on. The Quartermaines know that I didn't kill anyone, and they're going to help me prove that I didn't do it. But if you were in my position, they wouldn't lift a finger to help you.

  Tracy Quartermaine : They are my family.

  Skye Quartermaine Jacks : Then act like it. The next time you want to do something hateful, do just the opposite. Ask Alan his option, take Dillon out to lunch. You don't have to be hateful, Tracy. You just choose to be.

  Tracy Quartermaine : Well, Psychologist from convicted murderer - hmm. Guess you'll have plenty of time to discover everything about that subject in prison.

  Skye Quartermaine Jacks : You know what, Tracy? If I were to spend the next 30 years in prison, I'll have lived a much better life than you.

• Heather Grant Webber Quartermaine : I assume you all received my fax.

  Edward Quartermaine #3 : What fax?

  Dr. Monica Quartermaine : Oh, Heather was thoughtful enough to fax us a copy of your marriage certificate.

  Edward Quartermaine #3 : Really?

  Heather Grant Webber Quartermaine : I thought I'd give everybody a head start on getting used to the idea and I was hoping when we got home that your family would be able to share in out happiness. Oh, it just occurred to me - you're all my family, too, now.

  Dr. Monica Quartermaine : Ugh.

  Dr. Alan Quartermaine : Just because you dragged my Father to the altar, don't think I'm going to start calling you Mother.

  Heather Grant Webber Quartermaine : Heather will be fine.

  Tracy Quartermaine : I have a better idea. How about Thieving, Gold-Digging, Tramp?

• Tracy Quartermaine : I've been waiting for you.

  Edward Quartermaine #3 : That's what vultures do.

• Tracy Quartermaine : Hmm. Fallen off the wagon, have we? What's your excuse this time? Jax doesn't love me, never did? Luke doesn't love me? I'm not a real Quartermaine? I have no friends, no life?

  Skye Quartermaine Jacks : What do you want?

  Tracy Quartermaine : I want you gone.

  Skye Quartermaine Jacks : Oh, my God. It was you, wasn't it? You were the one who sent me the drink at the casino last night.

  Tracy Quartermaine : Tasted like heaven, didn't it?

  Skye Quartermaine Jacks : Wow. I must have you running scared.

  Edward Quartermaine : Well, good, good, good - the two people I most want to see.

  Skye Quartermaine Jacks : Well, now I know you're lying.

  Edward Quartermaine : I guess you've heard that I'm changing my will. I'm leaving everything to anyone who can save E. L. Q.

  Skye Quartermaine Jacks : You're trying to eliminate the competition.

  Edward Quartermaine : Why? What's she done now?

  Skye Quartermaine Jacks : You don't really believe Tracy can save E. L. Q. do you?

  Tracy Quartermaine : Why bother with your real daughter when you can give everything away to a drunken Quartermaine wannabe?

• Edward Quartermaine : Dillon?

  Dillon Quartermaine : Why am I here?

  Edward Quartermaine : So that I can apologize to you.

  Dillon Quartermaine : For what?

  Edward Quartermaine : For not spending enough time with you during your mother's recent absence.

  Dillon Quartermaine : My Mom's been back for six months.

  Edward Quartermaine : Dillon, what you need to understand, son, is that Lila and I practically raised Ned, and I thought that with your mother as your only role model that you were going to turn out to be a viper, like she is, but I - I was mistaken, you have potential.

  Dillon Quartermaine : OK, now you're freaking me out.

  Edward Quartermaine : No, no.

  Dillon Quartermaine : Yeah.

  Edward Quartermaine : You stand for what you believe. You're young. You got a lot to learn. But you do. You stand for what you believe and you have a strength of convictions, and you have that in spades.

  Dillon Quartermaine : Yeah, and I thought you had no use for me.

  Edward Quartermaine : Well, you thought wrong you give me a few years, and you could be C. E. O. of E. L. Q. huh?

  Dillon Quartermaine : E. L. Q. ?

  Edward Quartermaine : Well, sure. It's your legacy. Providing you keep your mother away form the helm. You see, I can revise my will so that you could get the lion's share of my estate, hmm?

  Dillon Quartermaine : I don't know what to say.

  Edward Quartermaine : Well, you might try yes or thank you.

  Dillon Quartermaine : Listen - no, thanks.

  Edward Quartermaine : What?

  Dillon Quartermaine : I'm going to be an independent filmmaker.

  Edward Quartermaine : An independent what?

  Dillon Quartermaine : Yeah, so, you can go back to calling me names, like derelict and good-for-nothing now, OK?

  Tracy Quartermaine : Sweetheart, have you been sniffing that hair product?

  Dillon Quartermaine : Later, Mom.

  Edward Quartermaine : Well, congratulations, Tracy. Another splendid product of your parenting expertise. Peterpan with a movie camera.

• Nikolas Cassidine : What's happening?

  Lucky Spencer : The wind is too strong. They'll try again when it gets - when it dies down.

  Tracy Quartermaine : They can't! The building is burning down below us!

  Justice Ward : This wind is making the fire worse inside!

  Edward Quartermaine : We have to be patient! The helicopter will evacuate us as soon as it's possible!

  Tracy Quartermaine : If any of us are still alive!

• Tracy Quartermaine : Why don't you sit down and rest, Daddy? Let others do the worrying.

  Edward Quartermaine : Spare me the phony concern.

  Tracy Quartermaine : Jeez, Daddy, we're trapped in a burning building. We may not make it out alive. What possible reason would I have to be phony? I love you. Why do you let everybody in but me?

  Edward Quartermaine : Because you frighten me, Tracy. You always have. When I look at you, I see the worse of myself.

  Tracy Quartermaine : Well, I've succeeded, all I ever wanted was to be just like you.

• Ned Ashton : Alan, how is he?

  Dr. Alan Quartermaine : We almost lost him in the ambulance.

  Tracy Quartermaine : He's not going to die.

  Dr. Alan Quartermaine : You'd like nothing better, would you?

  Tracy Quartermaine : What a terrible thing to say.

  Dr. Alan Quartermaine : Why? You almost let him die at your feet before, didn't you?

  Tracy Quartermaine : Oh, Alan, please.

  Ned Ashton : Let's not talk about this right now.

  Dr. Alan Quartermaine : Except this time he has medicine, doesn't he?

  Tracy Quartermaine : That is uncalled for.

• Tracy Quartermaine : Where have you two been?

  Dr. Monica Quartermaine : We've been with Emily.

  Dr. Alan Quartermaine : My daughter has lost her fiance.

  Helena Cassadine : That's all Nikolas was to you - a boy in love with your daughter. Now, my grandson is gone. He's gone. And I will spend the rest of my life seeing that the Quartermaines pay - every last one of you. Now that Nikolas is gone. I have nothing to live for but vengeance.

  Justice Ward : Mrs. Cassadine, we certainly...

  Helena Cassadine : Retribution is my special gift. Years ago I cursed Luke and Laura. Now Laura's a vegetable, and Luke is slowly drinking himself to death.

  Skye Quartermaine Jacks : Luke survived a lot worse than you - tonight alone.

  Helena Cassadine : I'll make sorrow and regret your constant companions.

  Tracy Quartermaine : You're braking mad.

  Helena Cassadine : Yes, and you will be too, when you've lost your sons as I lost my grandson.

  Skye Quartermaine Jacks : Come on, this is the last thing Nikolas would want.

  Helena Cassadine : Don't you presume to speak for my grandson! His death will be avenged. And you will all pay dearly! You - You most of all.

  Tracy Quartermaine : Good grief! That woman is melodramatic.

  Dr. Alan Quartermaine : Well, Helena's hex obviously solves are liability problem - we'll all be dead within the week.

• Tracy Quartermaine : You tell Jax he's not for you - which wouldn't be lie. Because he's not, he's mine. You put an end to this silly little crush he thinks he has on you, and I would be willing to overlook the infraction.

  Courtney Matthews Morgan : You're serious.

  Tracy Quartermaine : As a heart attack.

  Courtney Matthews Morgan : You would really prevent underprivileged children from getting the help they need just to satisfy your aging ego?

  Tracy Quartermaine : Look, Sweets, you're playing way out of your league, with me and with Jax. He needs a woman of substance, not a piece of trash who used to ride a pole in a strip club for dollar tips.

• Dr. Monica Quartermaine : I have to admit what I heard today made me change my mind about Skye's guilt.

  Tracy Quartermaine : Oh - how mealy-mouthed are you?

  Dr. Monica Quartermaine : What...

  Ned Ashton : What's wrong, mother? All your attempts at making Skye look like a sociopathic killer blowing up in your face? It's the least you deserve.

  Edward Quartermaine #3 : I warned you about turning against Skye on the stand, now, didn't I?

  Tracy Quartermaine : How can you be so protective of an outsider?

  Dr. Alan Quartermaine : Skye's more part of this family then you'll ever be.

  Dr. Monica Quartermaine : If your feelings are hurt, why don't you go someplace and recuperate - like another planet for a very long time.

• Tracy Quartermaine : Maybe it's time you and I worked together.

  Edward Quartermaine #3 : I didn't realize that hell had frozen over.

• Felicia Scorpio Jones : For Lila's sake, I did everything I could to keep an open mind to give you a fair chance to get that inheritance.

  Tracy Quartermaine : You were against me form the start.

  Edward Quartermaine #3 : Can you blame her? She's supposedly searching for the most virtuous Quartermaine. She knew in advance it wouldn't be you.

  Felicia Scorpio Jones : Unfortunately, you've done nothing except prove that you were completely conniving and dishonest. As everyone says that you are.

  Tracy Quartermaine : What have I done specifically?

  Felicia Scorpio Jones : You spied on your father. You tried to blackmail him by taking photographs of him and Heather.

  Tracy Quartermaine : We're Quartermaines blackmail is how we all relate.

  Felicia Scorpio Jones : You're greedy, untrustworthy, dishonest. I tried to give you the benefit of the doubt.

  Tracy Quartermaine : You did not try very hard.

  Felicia Scorpio Jones : I bent over backwards so that I wouldn't be accused of bias.

  Tracy Quartermaine : Of course you're biased. You've hated me ever since I tried to protect my son from your daughter.

  Dr. Monica Quartermaine : Here we go.

  Felicia Scorpio Jones : You were completely unfair to my daughter.

  Tracy Quartermaine : Then maybe she should have taken the hint and stayed away, hmm?

  Felicia Scorpio Jones : Your son loves my daughter.

  Tracy Quartermaine : My son is teenager. He thinks with his hormones. I was just trying to get him to not make a terrible mistake.

  Dr. Alan Quartermaine : Why couldn't she have had a meltdown like this before we were eliminated?

  Tracy Quartermaine : You can't disqualify me for opposing a teen romance.

  Felicia Scorpio Jones : "Opposing"? You put naked pictures of my daughter on the hospital computer! Did you think that I would forget about that?

  Tracy Quartermaine : I'm going to call a lawyer as soon as the lights go back on. I'm going to have that will declared invalid, and while I'm at it, I'm going to sue you for fraud!

  Felicia Scorpio Jones : Are you threatening me?

  Tracy Quartermaine : No! I'm making you are promise, and I always keep my word.

  Dr. Alan Quartermaine : Since when?

  Dr. Monica Quartermaine : Since when?

• Tracy Quartermaine : Lorenzo Alcazar's niece was murdered in our home.

  Dillon Quartermaine : Mom, you're trying to make sure that Lorenzo Alcazar blames Georgie for what happened to Sage. I don't know what it is. I don't know, but for some strange reason, you've got it in your head that you don't want Georgie and me to be together, and you're going to use anything you can, including Sage's death, to get what you want. You don't care about the consequences of what you do. You don't care about weight of the misery that you cause people. I don't know how you do it. How do you be so heartless? Do you even have compassion? Do you even have empathy? how about plan old common decency?

  Tracy Quartermaine : I won't apologize for protecting you.

  Dillon Quartermaine : All right, you know, fine. Then do me a favor - don't protect me. Don't do anything for me, don't do anything in my name. I don't know. Georgie and I are together, there's nothing you can do about that except turn around and walk away.

• Tracy Quartermaine : What on earth are you doing?

  Helena Cassadine : This book contains information that could reverse the curse that I put on Nikolas and Emily.

  Tracy Quartermaine : Oh. Any minute now, I'm going to wake up and I'm going to realize that this all has been one ridiculous nightmare. I am not really standing here next to a woman who puts poxes on people.

  Helena Cassadine : Knowledge is power, and a lack of it, weakness. What is done can be undone. I am not going to take that chance again.

  Tracy Quartermaine : Again?

  Helena Cassadine : Oh, my husband found this book, and in it he found the information he needed to reverse the curse that I put on that creature that he impregnated with our pathetic little mouse Alexis. Neither Nikolas nor Emily can be allowed to see this. Not ever.

• Tracy Quartermaine : What about your grandson? You know, the one you profess to love so much.

  Helena Cassadine : Oh, I do love Nikolas with all of my heart. What about him?

  Tracy Quartermaine : Hello? Have you forgotten you put a pox on him, too?

  Helena Cassadine : Nikolas made a choice. Unfortunately, it was the wrong choice. He needs to realize that he can never have a life with Emily. And anyone who ever gets in my way is going to be very very sorry indeed.

• Tracy Quartermaine : All right, I wanted to stop the marriage. But I had no idea how dangerous Helena could be.

  Emily Quartermaine : Or maybe you just didn't care, Tracy, as long as you believed Helena could help you get what you want.

  Tracy Quartermaine : I'm not the only one in my family that went along with Helena. But when she started hurling curses and you ended up in the hospital, well, I didn't sign up for anybody to die.

  Emily Quartermaine : Why should I believe that?

  Tracy Quartermaine : Did I bring you the book? I certainly didn't have to.

  Emily Quartermaine : Tracy, maybe it's a trick and you're still working with Helena.

  Tracy Quartermaine : Look, Missy, I made a mistake teaming up with Helena. I am trying to fix it. You can either believe it or not. Look at you! You're swooning around whining about some spider bite, and have you - have you bothered to thank me for risking my life for stealing that stinking book from Helena Cassadine? I didn't have to drag it all the way out here, but I did. I didn't have to tell you what she was doing, but I did. I gave you ammunition. Now, why don't you find a way to use it. Why don't you get up off your butt, fix yourself a drink, and fight like a Quartermaine.

• Jenny : Tracy the phones are not working, what do we do?

  Tracy Quartermaine : Breath!

  Jenny : I am, oh

• Jenny : Man that was some screem you out, out there

  Tracy Quartermaine : Sorry it's an old habit of mine every time I fall flat on my back

  Jenny : I'm going to get you some more dry cloths, okay?

  Tracy Quartermaine : Oh my God, I'm soaked

  Jenny : I know I'm going to get you dry in just a minuet

  Tracy Quartermaine : uh uh, It's not from the rain, my water broke

  Jenny : Oh my God!
