    • Quotes

      Alexis: Why are you here in Denver Ms. Devereaux?

      Dominique Deveraux: Merely to see in person what I have heard so much about.

      Alexis: Such as?

      Dominique Deveraux: That Alexis Colby is one of the world's most ravishing beauties. I'd buy that. That she lives in a showplace penthouse. It is exquisite.

      Alexis: Thank you - Anything else?

      Dominique Deveraux: You adore the south of France, even though you are prone to sea sickness on yachts.

      Alexis: Only small yachts

      Dominique Deveraux: You were kicked out of a boarding school in Gstaad and spent several months as an artist's model in Hamburg of all places.

      Alexis: Wrong it was Brussels of all places and all of this is pure trivia.

      Dominique Deveraux: Alright on a deeper level, you are extremely vulnerable when it comes to your children and extremely ruthless when it comes to your enemies. and there are quite of few of those hanging about.

      [she takes a sip of champagne]

      Dominique Deveraux: It's burned!

      Alexis: Is it?

      Dominique Deveraux: The champagne was obviously frozen in the bottle at some point.

      Alexis: If the champagne is too burned for your taste, don't drink it. The caviar I trust is not burned.

      Dominique Deveraux: I really wouldn't know. You see that is Ostatrova and I prefer Petrossian Beluga.

      Alexis: [angry] Who the hell are you, anyway?

      Dominique Deveraux: Who am I? You will find out very soon. Very soon.

      [she rises and begins to leave]

      Dominique Deveraux: You said this wasn't going to be a social evening. So, whatever it was, I enjoyed myself thoroughly. Thank you, Mrs. Colby.

      [Dominique turns and leaves. When she reaches the elevator, she turns back and says]

      Dominique Deveraux: Ciao... For now!
