- Sable Colby: [on phone] Sorry, I'm busy today for lunch and for dinner and tomorrow in case you were going to ask.
Zach Powers: [on other line] Well, you're either very hungry or very angry. Is that the game, Sabella? Trying to make me jealous? - Jason Colby: I flew ten thousand miles right into a brick wall: Hoyt Parker's banker.
- Monica Colby: He's diabolical. If you're eating with Zach, you'd better use a long spoon.
