Quotes[]
- Alexis Carrington Colby Dexter [to Galen]: I'll keep the tiara you gave me and the crowned jewels that you promised me. It's the least I can expect in return for what you've taken from me. I want you to pack your things and be out of here by morning, you pathetic, you loathsome, you despicable majesty.
