- Deleted scene : Alexis and Cecil are talking of Jonathan Crown, head of International Operations for Colbyco at Paris, a (handsome) man who hates Blake as much as them. Obviously, the character was supposed to appear in season 3 but the writers changed their plans as he would have been redundant with Adam.
- Trimmed scenes : Before Fallon comes to talk to her, Alexis is seen giving orders to her staff; while in bed with Cecil, Alexis is in high ecstasy and says that the whole world is theirs.
Quotes[]
- Farouk Ahmed [To Blake Carrington]: This I promise: the day you find out how it feels, I will smile at your agony.
- Jeff Colby [To Nick Toscanni] : I want you to know that Fallon and I are going to take a stab at making our marriage work. [Nick nods] So take this as a warning: stay out of our lives.
Nick Toscanni : Is that it?
Jeff Colby: No, that's not all of it. The last time I took a swing at you, you said 'one punch per customer'. Well, if I catch you near my wife again, I'm only gonna need one.
Nick Toscanni [both exchange frosty smiles]: Come off it, pal. You don't have a wife... you got yourself a Carrington. And about your baby, does it belong to you, or is it like everything else in that mansion? And this building, practically everywhere you look. Is it another possession of Blake Carrington's? - Blake Carrington [Nick has arrived at Scorpio Peak to confront Blake about his brother Gianni] : Well, Nick... what are you doing here? Must be pretty important to get you all the way up here from Denver.
Nick Toscanni [menacingly] : For this I would have come all the way back from Hell. - Nick Toscanni [on a pay phone] : Before I left town, I told you what to do. Now you go get what I want and bring it to my house and keep your mouth shut!
- Cecil Colby [Cecil has a heart attack while making love to Alexis] : I can't breathe! [gasps in horror]
Alexis Carrington [slapping him] : Cecil! Cecil! Don't you dare die on me! Cecil, you can't die on me! We're getting married tomorrow! You can't die on me, Cecil! I need you, Cecil! Don't you die on me! I need you to get Blake! Cecil! Cecil! [he lapses into unconsciousness]
