John Forsythe: Blake Carrington

Quotes 

• Blake Carrington : Remember how you once said to me 'whoever hurts me or my family' you never fail to pay them back?

  Dr. Nick Toscanni : [confused]  Did I say that?

  Blake Carrington : [nods]  Right in this office.

  Dr. Nick Toscanni : Ah.

  [shrugs and smiles] 

  Dr. Nick Toscanni : You know me, Blake. You grow up with Italian operas... lots of passion... big emotions.

  Blake Carrington : [nods again]  How about revenge? Now that's a big emotion. I know how that feels. The overwhelming need to pay back a man who's ruined your life.

  Dr. Nick Toscanni : [interrupting]  Wait a minute, Blake. Did you get me up here to talk about the guy who threw the bomb?

  Blake Carrington : [shakes head]  No, not my revenge. Yours... against me.

  Dr. Nick Toscanni : [guardedly]  What the hell are you talking about? Huh? Where'd you get this weird idea?

  Blake Carrington : Weird? I've checked into your family background. I know all about your half-brother, Gianni Mulhany. I know that you blame me for his death. And for some God-forsaken reason, you're holding me to blame for your brother's death, aren't you? And you came here to Denver so you could...

  Dr. Nick Toscanni : [low]  ... make you pay, that's right.

• Blake Carrington : Why? I am not accusing you of anything, Krystle. I'm not even accusing Toscanni. I'm merely talking hypothetically about some men who seek revenge. Of course, the classic tactic is for the avenger to turn the enemy's woman against the enemy, to poison her mind, to use her soul and body.
