Quotes

[first lines]
Blake Carrington: [coming back from their attempt to check up on the collection] I still can't believe that there's nothing down there. Not a... painting, not a piece of jewelry.
Dex Dexter: There's nothing. The vault is clean. Blake, I shined a light all along the passageway. I nearly froze down there.
Blake Carrington: Are you sure you looked at everything very carefully?
Dex Dexter: The only thing I found was the seal embedded in the mud.
