Victoria Principal: Rae Colton

Quotes 

• Margo : Well, I got to the house, and I had this funny feeling. I went inside and straight to the bedroom, I was sure he was with somebody. Nobody! I looked all through the house, I was so relieved! Then I looked out at the pool. Billy, the love of my life, was on the cement with this sleazy blonde.

  Rae Colton : Oh Margo.

  Margo : I ran... I just took off. I was running down Doheny... I thought my heart would stop. I thought the world had come to an end, I didn't know who to call! And then I ended up calling Ramon. He told me to come right over. His house is better than Billy's, and he's got art!

  Rae Colton : [impressed]  He moved your stuff?

  Margo : Well, I went back to the house. The blonde was gone. I went up to Billy, I gave him a big hug, and I said I still love you, but I'm moving out. You know, I really thought that one would last.

• Margo : [Rae reaches for a butter patty while at lunch]  You're not going to eat that butter, are you?

  Rae Colton : Oh, I forgot.

  [raises her left hand and covers her heart with her right] 

  Rae Colton : I must not overeat, I need my body to be thin.

  Margo : Oh, you go ahead... laugh. But it works! There are all these young, skinny women here who are just waiting for you to put on weight to get your man!

  Rae Colton : I'm not worried.

  Margo : You should be. To tell you the truth, I think I'd knock you down and walk over your body for one night with Wyn.

  Rae Colton : [laughs]  You gonna make him sign a contract?

  Margo : I didn't get this way without a reason, you know.

  Rae Colton : I know.

  Margo : I've learned to protect myself. I loved Billy... I love Ramon, I love men! But you've got to get it in writing. Things change after you get dumped.

  Rae Colton : Well, Wyn and I have been together for nine years. I don't think I'm gonna get dumped.

• Wyn : [after Rae tells Wyn about landing a minor acting role]  Do I give you enough money, Rae?

  Rae Colton : Of course you do, Wyn. You're the most generous person I've ever known.

  Wyn : All the lessons I pay for, the dancing, the acting, the singing. Don't they keep you busy enough?

  Rae Colton : Well, that's what they're for! I mean, I like to work... I like to be productive.

  Wyn : I'll always take care of you, Rae. You know that.

  Rae Colton : But I'm an actress. Well, you know, I always wanted to be an actress... and this is an opportunity.
