Quotes 

• Faith Rosco : If you do this, you had better be sure it's what you want. Because if it isn't and you hurt me again, I will make you scream so loud the devil will cover his ears. And then I will kill you myself.

• Faith Rosco : We don't have much time to get out of here.

  Justice Ward : You know what, Faith? You've been stabbed twice. You're in no condition to go anywhere but to the hospital.

  Faith Rosco : So I'm in pain. That's not going to stop my legs from working. If we wait any longer, I will never get out of here. If the killer doesn't get me, the Quartermaines are going to stone me to death.

  Justice Ward : You know what? You're right. They're not the most compassionate group.

  Faith Rosco : You think?

  Justice Ward : You know, I hate the way the Quartermaines treat other people, especially each other. They're like a pack of wolves waiting to tear each other to shreds. I don't know why I wanted to be a part of this family.

  Faith Rosco : Everybody wants to belong somewhere.

• Faith Rosco : If the princess doesn't want to leave, we'll go without her. Enjoy the blaze!

  Luke Spencer : Skye, you can't just sit here and wait for the - wait for the room to go up in flames.

  Skye Quartermaine Jacks : Well, it hasn't reached us yet. And, look, we have water, you know, and I heard the fire engines down stairs. We should wait here until we get evacuated.

  Luke Spencer : We've got to go up or down now.

  Skye Quartermaine Jacks : No, I'm telling you, it is too risky!

  Luke Spencer : If the explosions have caused the stairwells to be blocked, then they're going to be putting people on choppers from the roof.

  Faith Rosco : Oh, hello! Less chat, more running for cover!

  Skye Quartermaine Jacks : Luke, come on, you already passed out once!

  Luke Spencer : Yeah, and your first-aid techniques have made me a stronger, better man.

  Skye Quartermaine Jacks : Oh, come on, Luke!

  Luke Spencer : Skye! The fire is moving through the walls! This room could go up in flames in five minutes!

  Skye Quartermaine Jacks : Well, you know, it hasn't reached us yet, OK?

  Luke Spencer : Darling, I am not a white knight.

  Skye Quartermaine Jacks : Yeah, well, this isn't a test, OK? I'm not waiting for you to rescue me.

  Luke Spencer : Well, then come with me!

  Skye Quartermaine Jacks : No way, I'm sorry. I'm sorry, I'm staying.

  Faith Rosco : Great, super. Let's go, my nail polish is melting!

• Faith Rosco : Oh my goodness. You're a regular calamity Jane, aren't you. Wow. Well, I'll give you this - you are a resilient little thing, but there's no way you're going to bounce back from this one. Ric is finally free. Well, you rest in peace little one. I hope you're busing tables in hell.

• Faith Rosco : Who died and made you private detective? Anyway, why does it matter so much who hit the calamity waitress? We nursing a little crush here, Sonny?

• Faith Rosco : The five families are history. Their leaders are dead. So is Jason. I am in charge now. And this is your one chance to deal.

• Faith Rosco : Jason was at the table with the five families when my men opened fire. I told them not to leave survivors. This is your last chance to work with me, Sonny. Let go.

  Sonny Corinthos : Get out of here.

  Faith Rosco : You are in no position...

  Sonny Corinthos : Get out of here.

  Faith Rosco : To give orders. The only reason I left you alive was because I have a soft spot for children, hmm? How could I leave your baby all alone in this world, hmm. Poor little tyke. His Mommy's brains are creamed corn. Uncle Jason has surely beled to death by now. Where does that leave Morgan, hmm? If I take away his Daddy, who till take care of the poor little orphaned boy?

• Faith Rosco : The mighty Sonny Corinthos answer to no one, huh? Well, guess what you answer to me now. I run this territory you just retired. Because if you don't everyone you love will disappear. Your precious baby, your little carrot top, your spunky sister and what's left of your wife.

  Sonny Corinthos : Your days are numbered.

  Faith Rosco : Really, you lost, Sonny. You lost. Your enforcer is dead. And unless you show me a little respect, you will be, too.

• Zander Smith : You need to leave.

  Faith Rosco : Yeah, no brains, no service. He's right. You'll have to go.

  Jason Morgan : Sonny tells me you hold the title to this place.

  Faith Rosco : I do, indeed. I inherited it from my grandmother. So Carly is out of the picture. Not that she has enough brains left to understand that. Maybe Sonny will enjoy being married to a vegetable. He seems to clearly have a soft spot for mentally defective people.

• Lucky Spencer : You think you're untouchable, don't you?

  Faith Rosco : Oh, no, on the contrary. I love being touched. Yeah, not usually by cops, as a rule.

• Courtney : I don't know how this got out of control so fast.

  Faith Rosco : Because you attacked me. I want her arrested.

  Courtney : Me?

  Brian : Courtney did nothing wrong.

  Faith Rosco : She hit me.

  Brian : You provoked her.

  Faith Rosco : You were here you saw what happened I offered the little snit a job and she comes after me like a bunny out of hell. That's assault and if you don't take her in I'm going straight to ADA Lancing and I will have your badge.

• Faith Rosco : I have to be honest. I just don't get it.

  Carly Corinthos : Go away.

  Faith Rosco : No, not until you explain the attraction. Now, Sonny and Alcazar are two of the most powerful men in the Northeast, and they're chasing around after a glorified piece of trailer trash. What is your secret?

  Carly Corinthos : I won't tell you again.

  Faith Rosco : Oh, come on, Carly, it's just us girls. Tell me, who do you dream about at the end of the day Sonny or Alcazar? Now, I know it's a tough decision. Yeah, they are both powerful, passionate men. Unfortunately for you, neither one learned to share. Otherwise maybe you could have both of them - you know, say, like alternating nights or three on a mattress. What is your private fantasy, Carly?

• Faith Rosco : The truth hurts, doesn't it? You want Sonny for the main course and Alcazar on the site.

  Carly Corinthos : I'm married to Sonny, Lorenzo means nothing to me.

  Faith Rosco : Well, isn't there something in the scripture about lusting in the heart being just as bas as doing the deed?

  Carly Corinthos : Don't quote the bible, Faith, you may burst into flames.

  Faith Rosco : You're the one that's on fire, buttercup. Lorenzo Alcazar is under your skin, and he knows it. He's not going anywhere, and you don't want him to. Oh, and remember - if I can see it, Sonny will, too.

• Skye Quartermaine Jacks : He collapsed from smoke inhalation! Now, help me move him!

  Faith Rosco : What do I get out of it?

  Skye Quartermaine Jacks : You get to live because, I swear, if you leave us, I will survive for the sole purpose of hunting you down and ringing your scrawny little neck!

  Faith Rosco : Fine. But just so you know, I'm doing this for Spencer, Even I don't want to see the devil get burned.

• Skye Quartermaine Jacks : Oh, my God, he's barely breathing.

  Faith Rosco : Oh, here, you need a professional. My lips have been known to wake the dead.

  Skye Quartermaine Jacks : You know what, Faith? You helped get him in here. Now you can go.

  Faith Rosco : And leave you alone in here with Luke? I don't think so. Once we get him back among the living, he's going to help me through the fire - I need a shield.

• Luke Spencer : This is not like you to freeze up, Red.

  Skye Quartermaine Jacks : No. Luke, it's called logic and common sense.

  Faith Rosco : No, no, it's called blind panic! Look, I'm not going to die because this bimbo is too drunk or too dumb to walk out of a burning building.

  Luke Spencer : Feel free to leave us.

  Faith Rosco : Uh, no. I saved your life. I expect you to return the favor.

  Skye Quartermaine Jacks : You know, I may loathe that woman, but she's got a point. Look, you know, you and Faith, you want to go, go.

• Faith Rosco : You know, didn't I hear that Carly was a guest at this hotel? That means that she and her lover could be crispy critters real soon. Is that what you were counting on? Or maybe deep down inside, you're still worrying about little Carly?

  Sonny Corinthos : Do you understand we could die? You're wasting time!

• Justice Ward : What are the odds of us getting on that chopper?

  Faith Rosco : Well, lets see. After poor little Emily, prince Nikolas, and the ridiculous teenagers, I'd say we might as well take a swan dive down an elevator shaft.

• Luke Spencer : Hey! Life's a gamble, People! This proves it! Everybody's got one chance to save his or her life! This is going to be a lottery, folks. Everybody draws a number, low goes first, high last. The only exceptions will be the badly injured and kids under 18 - they take priority.

  Faith Rosco : Who put you in charge?

  Luke Spencer : This. This is my authority. You want to challenge it, step forward. I won't hesitate to put a bullet in anybody who causes trouble. And one more thing - all drawings are final. No trading number, no selling them off. What you draw is when you leave, period! That all right with you?

  Ric Lansing : It's a plan.

• Ric Lansing : All right, next group, line up, please. Numbers eight through 14.

  Helena Cassadine : I have 11.

  Faith Rosco : Well, looks like I'm leaving.

  Justice Ward : Have a safe trip.

  Faith Rosco : I hope you make it, counselor. But if you die tonight, look on the bright side. Sooner or later, I'll be joining you in hell.

• Skye Quartermaine Jacks : Have you forgotten one very important detail? Faith is a homicidal maniac.

  Luke Spencer : True, but she's also a savvy investor.

  Faith Rosco : Oh, thank you. It's nice to be appreciated.

  Luke Spencer : Her participation guarantees notoriety. Plus we all benefit from the percentage of laundering her money, which I explained to you already.

  Skye Quartermaine Jacks : Yeah, but, you see, that was before you disappeared and left me alone with this bleach-blond barracuda, before I had to stop her from murdering Justus Ward, before she tried to kick us out of our own club.

  Faith Rosco : Is this a private rant, or can anyone chime in?

  Luke Spencer : Chime.

  Faith Rosco : Good. See, now that you're back and someone competent is in control. I promise to be on my very, very best behavior. See, I'd rather have you on my side than standing against me, so to speak.

  Luke Spencer : I'm glad we understand each other. I look forward to doing more business with you.

  Faith Rosco : I'm breathless with anticipation. Don't disappoint me.

  Skye Quartermaine Jacks : Do you want to get the knife out of my back because it's a little hard to reach.

  Luke Spencer : Oh, come on, Blaze, calm down.

  Skye Quartermaine Jacks : Oh, no, don't Blaze me! You just sided against me with a psychopath.

  Luke Spencer : Well, I think she's more of a sociopath, actually, but she's not so bad. Believe me, I've danced with worse.

  Skye Quartermaine Jacks : Oh, my God. I can't believe I didn't see this before. You actually enjoy having that woman around, don't you? You like the treachery with a little murder thrown in. You're really having fun here, aren't you?

  Luke Spencer : That's somewhat true.

• Jason Morgan : What the hell do you want?

  Jasper 'Jax' Jacks : I wanted to congratulate you in person on becoming a father.

  Faith Rosco : Oh? You and Bunny are back together?

  Jasper 'Jax' Jacks : No, that's old news. Jason finally found someone on his own level - Sam McCall.

  Faith Rosco : Oh, oh, this is really too delicious. You've been boffing Sonny's girlfriend and live to tell the tale.

  Jasper 'Jax' Jacks : Yes, but that's not all. Sam just shared the happy news - her and Jason are getting married.

• Faith Rosco : Oh - Oh, I am so sick of this male double standard! If you're a strong woman, you know, they call you a psychopath! But every single available man in town has lost it! They're completely obsessed with a good little girl like Courtney Cottontail and Little Lizzie Webber!

• Alexis Davis Cassadine : I guess really what I want to know is, is what on earth entitles you to ask a favor of me after you lied to my face, induced me to suborn perjury all in the name of your pregnant little girlfriend? I mean, it begs the question why you would ask me a favor, right?

  Sonny Corinthos : Mm-Hmm

  Alexis Davis Cassadine : Because the truth is I am fresh out of favors for you.

  Sonny Corinthos : Mm-Hmm

  Alexis Davis Cassadine : The truth is, is that I am sick to death of you, Corinthos. I am sick of your self-importance and your sense of entitlement to do whatever you want to anybody you please whenever you choose because you think the world owes you a big, fat favor. You aren't any better than anybody else. You aren't any more special than anybody else. And if you happen to break one law too many and D. A. Lansing happens to find out about it and catch you, good for him.

  Sonny Corinthos : Should I take that as a no, or...

  Ric Lansing : You know, why don't you do us all a favor, Sonny, and just admit that you gave the order to blow up that ship and kill Faith Rosco?

  Faith Rosco : Oh, get your filthy hands off me! I didn't do anything!

  Lucky Spencer : Stop - look what I found.

• Ric Lansing : What is this? What happened?

  Faith Rosco : Well, You've heard of a cat with nine lives, haven't you?

  Ric Lansing : Lucky?

  Lucky Spencer : A patrolman saw her climbing out of the harbor making a run for it after the explosion.

  Faith Rosco : Yeah. I would like to report an attempted murder! Mr. Alcazar and Mr.corinthos are conspiring to kill me.

• Faith Rosco : Oh, Justus, Justus, I need a lawyer.

  Justice Ward : Look, I'm here to represent Mr. Morgan and Mr.corinthos.

  Faith Rosco : Oh, Justus, please? For old times' sake?

  Justice Ward : I can't do it. My hands are tied. It's a conflict of interest.

  Faith Rosco : I knew you wanted me out of your life. I just didn't think you were going to let me die to see it happen.

• Faith Rosco : I knew you'd come.

  Justice Ward : No, you didn't. You don't look like you got much sleep.

  Faith Rosco : No, I - I couldn't get the feel of you off my lips. How about you?

  Justice Ward : Slept like a baby.

  Faith Rosco : Liar.

  Justice Ward : Faith, my nights of tossing and turning over you are long gone.

  Faith Rosco : Like I said - liar.

  Justice Ward : You don't know me as well as you think you do.

  Faith Rosco : I know that you're on fire. You hide it well, but I can see it in your eyes.

• Mac Scorpio : The first thing I'm going to do is make sure Faith is in a secure location. For all we know, the killer is here.

  Faith Rosco : Look, I do a lot of things, but I don't kill kids, ok?

  Mac Scorpio : Excuse me if I don't take your word on that.

  Faith Rosco : Hey, what are you doing to do, put me in the freezer? That is where the killer found Sage.

  Mac Scorpio : I want you out of the way until I figure out what the hell is going on in this house!

• Faith Rosco : If we cannot get away together, I want you out of this. I will face Sonny alone.

  Justice Ward : And, what, let him murder you in cold blood? That's not going to happen!

  Faith Rosco : I knew the risks going in, ok? I have pushed the guy once too often. Six moths ago, I would not have cared if I died. But now, I going to miss you.

  Justice Ward : You're not going to die, Faith.

• Justice Ward : I'm going to get away from Sonny, and somehow we will find each other, ok?

  Faith Rosco : That's wishful thinking, Justus.

  Justice Ward : Sonny owes me.

  Faith Rosco : You're not really buying into this man-oh-honor crap, are you? How do you think he survived so long? He eliminates anyone who double-crosses him, whether he owes them or not.

  Justice Ward : It is my choice to help you. If I die in the process, at least I know I died for a noble cause.

• Sonny Corinthos : This offer is one-time only. Take the plea bargain, go to prison, I won't have you killed.

  Faith Rosco : I plan to live to a ripe old age, Mr. Corinthos, and not in a prison cell. But if that doesn't work out, if I'm dead no matter what I do, I'll go down fighting you and Jason all the way.

• Faith Rosco : Ok. Let's say I cop a plea. I go to prison for a little while. Do you promise that I won't slip on the soap and accidentally break my neck or wind up with rat poison in my soup?

  Sonny Corinthos : I'm not going to have you killed in prison. I can't speak for anybody else. You have a talent for making enemies.

  Faith Rosco : Well, we all have our gifts.

• Faith Rosco : Tell me again why I should take the plea.

  Alexis Davis Cassadine : So a jury doesn't hear Jax testify that you abducted and shot him.

  Faith Rosco : I shot him in the leg. I didn't do any permanent damage. He should thank me.

  Alexis Davis Cassadine : A jury won't hear it that way, I promise.

  Faith Rosco : Why not?

  Alexis Davis Cassadine : Because juries aren't usually made up of criminally insane sociopaths.

  Faith Rosco : Hmm. Just checking. Fine. I'll take the plea.

  Alexis Davis Cassadine : Good choice.

  Faith Rosco : To aggravated assault. Right? I get sentenced to seven to ten, and I get two, right?

  Alexis Davis Cassadine : I'll do my best.

• Justice Ward : The van's going to be here any minute. But once you get out of pentonville, we're going to be together of the rest of our lives.

  Faith Rosco : Do you think Alexis got the two years?

  Justice Ward : She might have. She's a great attorney.

  Faith Rosco : OK. Two years is nothing, right?

  Justice Ward : I'm going to be here, Faith. I'm not going anywhere.

  Faith Rosco : Say goodbye now.

  Justice Ward : I can't, no.

  Faith Rosco : Listen to me.

  Justice Ward : No.

  Faith Rosco : Listen to me. When I step out there, I am going to shut down. OK, where I'm going, The world out there, I cannot afford to feel anything. So kiss me now. Say goodbye to the woman you love, the woman who loves you. because once I step out there. She's gone.

• Alexis Davis Cassadine : Ten years in real time.

  Faith Rosco : You promised me two years.

  Alexis Davis Cassadine : I promised you to do the best that I couuld.

  Faith Rosco : I wouldn've done better in front of a jury.

  Alexis Davis Cassadine : No, I don't think you would have.

  Alexis Davis Cassadine : You are a liar. OK? You did this to me on purpose, right? you set me up! You wanted me conviceted to pay me back for shooting jax. You lying bitch! My God, do you know - This was a set up from the start, wasn't it? The three of you want me to disapear.

  Justice Ward : It's all right Faith.

  Faith Rosco : No, no, no, no. But I will not diseappear. I will come back, and I will hunt you down, all three of you!

  Justice Ward : Faith don't say another word!

  Faith Rosco : My God, I will make you beg for mercy. You will ask me, and I will give you more pain than you ever imagined. I will take the ones you love and I will make it so you never, never see them again.

• Skye Quartermaine Jacks : Let's just say I've learned how to play the game.

  Faith Rosco : Hmm. Matter of necessity, I guess. I guess you had to, you know, when Luke ran off and left you to shift for yourself.

  Skye Quartermaine Jacks : Luke will be back.

  Faith Rosco : You're delusional.

  Skye Quartermaine Jacks : Am I?

  Faith Rosco : Mm-Hmm.

  Skye Quartermaine Jacks : Well, How about you? Didn't I hear something about how Justus was kicked off your case due to a conflict of interest?

  Faith Rosco : So what?

  Skye Quartermaine Jacks : So, if you actually think that you're in a relationship or that he's going to wait for you, think again.

  Faith Rosco : We're going to run away together.

  Skye Quartermaine Jacks : Oh, yeah. He ran, all right - In the opposite direction.

  Faith Rosco : You better watch your mouth, Buttercup.

  Skye Quartermaine Jacks : Hey! You watch it! People in prison learn to hit back twice as hard.
