Kristen's Schemes
(Fake Pregnancy, Susan, the Secret Room and more)

VIVIAN: (to Kristen after exposing the Baby Pillow) Suppose you'd better sit down before you fall down! (1997)

VIVIAN (to Kristen after revealing her pillow): Well I have heard of bouncing baby boys and girls but what is this? (1997)

KRISTEN (to Vivian after she's busted): You're either drunk or insane. Or both.

KRISTEN: It's OK, John loves me and won't leave me.
VIVIAN: That's because John is clueless (3/97)

(Vivian has just exposed Kristen)
VIVIAN: You see, you and I are alike.
KRISTEN: No, actually we are nothing alike.
VIVIAN: You and I would do just about anything to keep our men. Including very bizarre and unorthodox behavior, which of course is necessary when you are living in the shadow of your rival. (2/97)

IVAN: Madam does not want to do anything that will drive her underground, out of town or into jail. (to Kristen's threats)

VIVIAN: I think the best thing you can do is leave town!
KRISTEN: No! I'm not going anywhere!
VIVIAN: Oh, I see. So you prefer to stay here while Marlena tells John everything. Well, fine, she's on her way over. Maybe you could rent a video camera and you could capture his [John] expression before he strangles you! (3/97)

KRISTEN: Where'd he go?
VIVIAN: This is no time to speculate. Accept your fate, finish packing, get the hell out of Sale-
KRISTEN: Oh, wait a second! Wait! If John's not here, it means he won't be here when Marlena arrives!
VIVIAN: Kristen, you are buying seconds, nothing more. Come with me now before it gets worse!
KRISTEN: Worse? What could possibly be worse than this? What could possibly happen? (3/97)

LAURA (after finding out Kristen was faking her pregnancy): Kristen was wearing some sort of contraption under her skirt...FOAM RUBBER, I suspect!!! (1997)

VIVIAN: Actually, your name is on the marriage certificate, Susan was just a proxy
SUSAN: HEY!!! You watch what you call me!! (1997)

DR. WU: I Can't Believe You're Here. Why Are The Gods Punishing Me Like This?
VIVIAN: Get a grip Dr. Wu, Just Give Me The disposable syringe and the drug and I'll be out of Your life forever
DR. WU: I can only hope (1997)

(Vivian tries to prevent John from entering Kristen's room)
VIVIAN: I haven't had a chance to tell you how special you are to me.
JOHN: Come again?

SUSAN: John? Where's John? He won't keep my boy from me! John? John!
KRISTEN: Oh my God. What next? (3/97)

VIVIAN: I knew something like this would happen.
KRISTEN: You have no right to barge in here like this. I want you out of here now!
SUSAN: No. Nope, nope, nope. (3/97)

VIVIAN: This is very serious.
KRISTEN: I think I know that!
VIVIAN: There is no way out. Susan's right. John's coming back, Marlena will be here, and she'll tell him everything. And if that doesn't keep him away from you, now we have a hysterical Susan. Post-partum, hormones raging through her body, who's going to tell Marlena things she doesn't even know!
KRISTEN: Oh God. Oh God.
VIVIAN: Like the fact that you weren't pregnant, and that you didn't give birth to John's child . . . it's all falling away, Kristen! If Marlena doesn't deal the lethal blow, Susan will. There's nothing you can do to keep this from happening. (3/97)

VIVIAN: Kristen . . .
KRISTEN: Stop it! Look, it's because of you John is off wondering whether or not Marlena still loves him. Marlena's due here any second and if she gets here she is just going to blurt out everything she knows. And if John gets here, this whole thing -
VIVIAN: I know all the gory details. (3/97)

(Kristen has called Stefano, only to reach one of his many minions.)
MINION: I'm sorry, but Mr. DiMera can't be reached. He'll probably call in a few weeks.
KRISTEN: Weeks? I don't have a few weeks. My whole life could be destroyed in a few minutes.
MINION: You're a DiMera. You'll think of something.

VIVIAN: Faster, Ivan, we've got to warn Kristen that Susan's Marlena's patient!
IVAN: What if Marlena has already put two and two together, Madame?
VIVIAN: Then you and I would be better off in a car crash, because John and Marlena are going to tear us apart with their bare hands! (5/97)

(Marlena is confronting Kristen, Vivian, and Ivan)
MARLENA: And then Susan felt the need for some therapy. Who wouldn't, dealing with all of you all day long! (5/97)

(Vivian and Ivan try to escape)
KRISTEN: There go the rats deserting the ship, I see!
VIVIAN: Well, better a live rat than a dead one. (5/97)

KRISTEN:"Where the hell have you been?"
IVAN: "At the spa having a facial and a body wrap. You should try it. It's done wonders for me, Kristen".
KRISTEN:"My life is just hanging in the balance-as well as your lives-and you sit there and have beauty treatments?"(1997)

KRISTEN: But I don't have time to be bogged down by guilt
VIVIAN: No, of course not, conscious would be an impediment (1997)

(John complains to Vivian about the Elvis costumes they are wearing for his wedding to Kristen/Susan)
VIVIAN: "Let's just call it a theme wedding".
JOHN: "Oh, really. What's the theme?"
VIVIAN :"Nightmare at Graceland". (1997)

(Kristen shares her plans to eliminate the competition with the only person in Salem twisted enough to appreciate them)
KRISTEN: When Stefano gets back in town, he's going to take Susan and Marlena away, and they'll never be heard from again.
VIVIAN: How wonderfully evil!
KRISTEN: Well, I'm not doing anything. It's not me who's kidnapping them. I'm just making it easier for Stefano.
VIVIAN: Quite a rationale! (1997)

KRISTEN: If you tell John or anybody else that John Jr. is your son, I promise you, you will never see Dr. Evans again and something worse could happen.
SUSAN:"What could be worse than that?"
KRISTEN:"Graceland will burn down".
SUSAN (distraught):"Oh, no. Not Graceland". (1997)

(Susan's antics drive Vivian and Kristen to seek refuge in a bottle)
VIVIAN: Ivan, make me a vodka martini.
KRISTEN: Me, too. Make mine a double; it's been a hell of a day.
VIVIAN: I don't think John should catch you with alcohol on your breath. You're supposed to be nursing.
KRISTEN: Well, if Susan would stop gallivanting around town impersonating me, I wouldn't have to resort to alcohol to calm my nerves, now would I? (1997)

(Vivian and Ivan are confused by the odd behavior of bride-to-be "Kristen" on her wedding day)
VIVIAN: If I didn't know better, I would think Kristen is eating those funny mushrooms. The way she's behaving is so bizarre.
IVAN: She's been behaving more like Susan.
VIVIAN: Well, she's not Susan. Remember, I pulled her hair. She's not wearing a wig. Besides, if she was Susan, where's Kristen? Never mind! I don't want to know. (1997)

(Kristen's devilish attempt to cast blame)
MARLENA: Susan. Tell the truth. Think about your precious Elvis.
KRISTEN: John, I hate to say it. Is it possible marlena's possessed again? Oh my God!
Laura: Why don't you give it up, Kristen! (1997)

(Kristen arrives to the hospital, just after Roman collapsed at Carrie's New Year's Eve party, and is confronted by the Brady's.)
KIMBERLY: What are you doing here?
KRISTEN: I'm concerned about Roman.
KIMBERLY: Insane people can't feel concern. (1997)

(Kristen has John Jr. stashed in his old nursery.)
JOHN: I could have sworn I heard the shrill sound of a baby crying.
KRISTEN: It must've been a Kenny G song. (1997)

KRISTEN: Why don't you open up this present. It's for you.
SUSAN: For me?
KRISTEN: (Thinking to herself) No, it's really for the maid, but what the hell.

(After Roman collapses, John thinks that Kristen might be responsible.)
KRISTEN (Annoyed): I'm not up to anything, John.
JOHN (sarcastically) That would be a first.

(Kristen and Vivian run into each other at the spa)
VIVIAN: Kristen.
KRISTEN: Vivian.
VIVIAN: What a surprise! What sort of schemes are you up to these days?
KRISTEN (snidely): That's funny. I was just going to ask you the same thing. (1998)

CELESTE: I sense that something just isn't right with you, Kristen.
KRISTEN : Of course you do. That's your job, Celeste - sensing things about people. But you know what? This time, you're right. Something's not right with me; my nails are a mess. I really need a manicure. (1998)

(Kristen starts laughing hysterically to herself while Laura is in the room)
LAURA: What are you laughing at?
KRISTEN: Don't worry about it. It's an inside joke. (1998)

EDMUND: I have a busy day planned for you tomorrow. And there's no use asking for a hint because I'm going to lock my lips and throw away the key.
KRISTEN (as Susan, to herself): Lovely image! (1998)

 (Abe, Roman, John, Edmund and "Susan" are discussing Laura's status as a suspect in Kristen's murder)
EDMUND: (to Abe and Roman) Excuse me if I sound rather thick.
KRISTEN: (to herself) How else could you sound, you idiot? (1998)

KRISTEN: (to herself, while dressed as Susan) I look ridiculous. I look like Susan. (1998)

(Laura and Mike are talking about how she is a prime suspect in the investigation of Kristen's death)
LAURA: It's not my fault the whole world is better of without her.
MIKE: Mom, that kind of talk won't help your case. (1998)

 

 

 Susan

(During Austin and Sami's doomed ceremony, Susan reminds Maggie and Alice of Salem's terrible track record)
SUSAN: You know when you're coming into town and there's that sign that says "Welcome to Salem?"
MAGGIE: Yea?
SUSAN: Well, it should say underneath it: the town that has an awful lot of weddings but none of them ever really happen.
ALICE: Nonsense! We have a lot of beautiful marriages in Salem, and I think you're going to see one today.
SUSAN: Well, I'm not going to hold my breath. (1997)

(Susan warns her sisterly sister that strange things often happen in Salem)
SUSAN: "They can even bring back the dead here!
SISTER MARY MOIRA: "Why Susan Delilah Banks!"
SUSAN: "It's true! Ask Dr. Marlena Evans, herself. That Kristen dragged her ex-husband into the church to stop her wedding to John. Ya see, there's something about weddings in this town. Nothing ever, ever, ever, ever, ever goes right!" (1997)

(Later, Susan finds out that her instincts were right on the money)
SUSAN: I knew it, I knew it, I knew it. I'm just glad I kept my sales receipt to the deep-fat fryer I bought them for their wedding present. I just had a psychic feeling that I was going to have to return that darn thing.
MAGGIE: You could be right.
SUSAN: I hate to say that I told you so, but weddings inthis town just don't ever come off. I gotta go find Dr. Marlena Evans and tell her that I feel her pain. (1997)

(Susan tries to prove Vivian is a vampire by holding up a mirror)
SUSAN: Vampires! Stay away from me!
VIVIAN: I am not a vampire!
SUSAN: Oh, yes you are. Look, you have no reflection.
VIVIAN: Yes, I do have a reflection and I look like hell! (1997)

(Susan calls Graceland)
SUSAN: Hello, Graceland? I'm the mother of Elvis's baby.
VOICE: Which mother?
SUSAN: (upset) The only mother! (1997)

(Susan reacts after overhearing Vivian's plans to knock her out and drag her to the secret room)
SUSAN: They think they can just roll me up in a rug like some kind of human enchilada! Well, we'll just see about that, Mr. and Mrs. Vampire! (1997)

(Later, Susan describes Vivian and Ivan to Elvis)
SUSAN: Oh, Elvis! That nasty Vivian girl wants to lock me up in a dungeon. It's like one of those scary movies, and Vivian and her husband, or her son, or whatever the heck he is, they're monsters! (1997)

SUSAN (talking about Kristen): "Well she's about as interesting as a bag of 'patater' chips!!"

CELESTE: I believe all children are born good
SUSAN: So whatever happened to Mr. Stefano DiMera?

(When Kristen tries to convince Susan to give up baby Elvis, Susan puts the smooth talking DiMera in her place.)
SUSAN: How can you protect him?
KRISTEN: Give him to me. Let me raise him.
SUSAN: Now don't that just burn the pie! Not only are you mean, mean, mean, but you've just gone bonkers. I would never, ever, ever, ever let my baby be raised by the daughter of the head vampire!!

SUSAN (To Mary Moira): If I've said it once, I've said it a kajillion times. That Sami is just mean, mean, mean. (1997)

(Susan tells Kristen about how she baked cookies with her mother at Christmas time when she was young.)
SUSAN: And then she'd sell them.
KRISTEN: Your mother would sell the cookies?
SUSAN: Well, how else could she afford to buy the things to make them?

(Kristen and Celeste are trying to find out who Little Elvis's father really is, but Susan keeps insisting it's Elvis Presley)
CELESTE: Susan, darling, when you say "Elvis," surely you mean an impersonator.
SUSAN (offended): Surely I do NOT mean an impersonator! The one and only Elvis Presley is my baby's daddy.
KRISTEN (condescendingly): Susan, you can't expect us to believe that Elvis Presley came to your house and made love to you.
SUSAN: Well, Kristen, how else do you think I got pregnant? (muttering to herself as she walks off) That girl is just thick, thick, thick!

SUSAN: John, I was wondering something. I know that Dr. Marlena Evans almost married Roman Brady. Does that mean you and her aren't going to get together?
JOHN: Well, Susan, that's kind of a complicated situation, but, yeah, we're going to be together.
SUSAN: I was wondering, 'cause if you couldn't be with Dr. Marlena Evans, I was wondering, would you go back to Kristen?
JOHN: No, that will never happen, and you know better than anybody that that Kristen is just mean, mean, mean. (1998)

MAGGIE: Kristen was trying to take Susan's baby away.
VIVIAN: Not again.
KRISTEN: That baby belongs with me.
VIVIAN: Why would you want the baby of that moron Susan, who should be wearing a gown and carrying a butterfly net? (1998)

 

 Marlena and Kristen's Wonderful Relationship

KRISTEN (as she stomps on the frame with John and Marlena's picture): This is what's left of John and Marlena! This is what's left of John and Marlena! This is what's left of John and Marlena!

(after Marlena somehow stopped Kristen and John from eloping on the plane)
MARLENA: "I'm not going to let you out of my sight."
KRISTEN: "Didn't you have a career at one time? What happened to that? Or did you quit to devote yourself to torturing me?" (1997)

(After Marlena proved one of Kristen's actions wrong by saying it didn't happen in the hospital)
KRISTEN: Oh, and you just know everything that goes on in this hospital, don't you? (1997)

KRISTEN: You are just such a bitch
MARLENA: I was thinking the same thing about you (1997)

KRISTEN (upon seeing Susan in bed with John): she's (Susan) impersonating me!
MARLENA: you HIRED her to impersonate you.
KRISTEN: I didn't hire her to have sex with my husband! (6/2/97)

(Kristen and Marlena are locked in the secret room watching Susan parade around as Kristen)
Marlena: Once she exposes herself I will be free to love John and you will be free to rot in Hell.
Kristen: No, it'll never happen. (1997)

KRISTEN: How can you not know John? How can you not know that's not me? It's that crazy bucktoothed moron!
MARLENA: Obviously your lovemaking isn't as impressive (6/2/97)

MARLENA (about John spending time with Susan, who is impersonating Kristen):"Maybe he's so preoccupied by finding me that maybe he won't even notice".
KRISTEN:"My God, what a colossal ego you have!" (1997)
KRISTEN (about Marlena): "Just look at her. Playing the perfect mommy. Devious witch - she makes me sick."
VIVIAN: "I'm sure she feels the same way about you." (1997)

Kristen and Marlena are trapped in the secret room and they are watching Susan and John eat a romantic dinner. Kristen is fuming at Susan for pigging out.
KRISTEN:(chowing down on a chicken leg) You idiot!I never eat fatty foods!
(Marlena looks at Kristen in surprise)
Kristen opens a bag of potato chips and eats a handful
KRISTEN: (Spitting out the food) UUH! Pork rinds! What part of the pig is this? (1997)

(Marlena and Kristen watch the wedding on a monitor in the secret room)
MARLENA (laughing hysterically): "This is priceless".
KRISTEN (about Susan) :"She turned my wedding into a freak show".
MARLENA :"Just think, by tommorrow you'll be on the cover of every society page in the country. This will be great for your reputation". (1997)

(A phone call from John turns Roman's death into an inconvenience for Kristen)
JOHN: Marlena's not doing so good, sweetheart. I'm going to stay with her awhile.
KRISTEN: Of course. I love you.
JOHN: Same here (hangs up).
KRISTEN: Same here? He can't even tell me he loves me in front of his precious, fragile, weak Doc. Thanks a lot, Roman. You picked a hell of a time to die! (April 1997)

MARLENA (to KRISTEN who's trying to explain herself after they were released from the secret room): OK, go ahead, start talking; you'll hang yourself.
In the same scene:
KRISTEN: John, she's feeling the effects of the cellar.
MARLENA: I'm feeling the effects of the treachery. (1997)
(Kristen passes food to Marlena in the secret room)
KRISTEN: "Feeding time. Time to feed the animals."
MARLENA: "Is it poisoned?"
KRISTEN: "That's clever. That's very funny. But, no. I've got to keep you fat and sassy. Stefano's got lots of big plans for you." (1997)

(Kristen turns Eric 's dig into a compliment as only she can)
KRISTEN: It looks like your mom is falling in love with your dad again. Isn't that great?
ERIC: No, that's what you want to happen.
KRISTEN: Oh, come on. Isn't that what you want? Tell the truth. Every kid wants their parents to be together.
ERIC: You know, I can see how you snowed John. You're as good as Stefano.
KRISTEN: Well, thanks! (1997)

MARLENA (to Roman, John and "Susan" about Kristen's suicide): It was one final act of revenge. I wouldn't put it past her.
KRISTEN (to herself): And while you're at it, maybe you shouldn't put it past Kristen to punch you out right here and shut you up for good.

KRISTEN (to herself about Marlena): Give me a break. You're having the time of your life, Doc. Stringing Roman and John along. Both of them madly in love with you, fighting over you. You're just in hussy heaven. (1998)

EDMUND (admiringly): Marlena's remarkable, isn;t she? Prominent psychiatrist, terrific mum, loyal friend.....
KRISTEN (spitefully, to herself): ......Major phony. But who'd expect an idiot like Edmund to see through act? Nobody else does. (1998)

 

Classic Vivian and Ivan

VIVIAN: Ivan, I value you--as a friend and as a servant. (1996)

IVAN: And I was honored to be the best man at your wedding.
JOHN: It changed my life. (1997)

(A broke Vivian and Ivan sit in their dumpy apartment)
VIVIAN: "What will become of us?"
IVAN: "Madame, we'll get a job. We'll work our way back up. (Skims the want ads.) Janitor. We have a dog walker. We have a gravedigger. Gravedigger - we have a lot of experience with that." (1997)

(Victor's date returns from the restroom)
VIVIAN: That was fast.
ALANA: Well, when you're my age you don't need that much upkeep.
VIVIAN: Yes, plastic always wears well.

IVAN: Madame I have been taking tranquilizers ever since I began working for you. (1997)

(Sami wants Vivian and Ivan to climb into the chimney at the Kiriakis mansion.)
VIVIAN: If there's risk involved, why don't you stick your own neck out?
SAMI: Because I have my son to think about. You and Ivan don't have that worry.
IVAN: Who, me?
VIVIAN (glancing his way): Yes, you, Braveheart.

IVAN: I will never stop longing for you
VIVIAN: If you must, you must. (1996)

VIVIAN: Do You Hear That Woman (Kate)? She Absolutely Refuses To Acknowledge That I Am Legally Married To Victor
IVAN: I Wonder Why

VIVIAN: I can't believe that after all this time, I would be intimate with you.
IVAN: A number of women would kill for that opportunity, Madame
VIVIAN: Name one.
(Ivan is silent)
VIVIAN: Oh, I'm sorry!

(Vivian and Ivan have just walked in on Stefano's attempt to kill John)
VIVIAN: John? What are you doing with your head in that guillotine? It must be very uncomfortable. (8/96)

(Vivian and Ivan are at University Hospital. Earlier, Vivian mistakenly injected Ivan with a shot intended for Susan, to stop her from lactating. Ivan is in a closet, drinking milk.)
VIVIAN: Ivan, what are you doing in here? Why are you drinking all this milk? You hate milk.
IVAN: I know, Madame. My body's suddenly craving it. I think it's the --yeah-- I think it's the shot you gave me, Madame. My voice is changing, too. What happened?
VIVIAN: You are hysterical. That shot can't affect you.
IVAN: Madame, I am starting to sound like a woman. I am turning into a woman. Dr. Wu has ruined my life.
VIVIAN: Ivan, that shot only stops lactation. It can't affect your voice. The only thing it could possibly affect would be your breasts.
IVAN: I don't have any breasts, do I? (Ivan begins a nightmare here. He has incredibly large and fake breasts and is standing in front of a mirror.) Oh! Oh!
VIVIAN: Well, think of all the money that women spend on breast implants, Ivan. If Dr. Wu could market that drug, he could make a fortune.
IVAN: Madame, I like them on you, but I don't want breasts. Do something!
VIVIAN: Well, I'd lend you a brassiere, but you're a little out of my league! (Vivian runs off.)
IVAN: Oh,... oh, no. (the nightmare ends here) Madame... my chest is growing. My masculinity right now is being sucked out of me by this hormonal vacuum.
VIVIAN: What's happening?
IVAN: I have this sudden urge to shave my legs.
VIVIAN: Well, you know, you were rather attractive when you pretended to be Sami's mother. And then of course, you were turning heads at the costume ball when you played Josephine in Paris.
IVAN: Madame.
VIVIAN: We could be sisters.
IVAN: Yeah?
VIVIAN: Yes... Ivana. I could help you with your makeup.
IVAN: I like Earth tones.

(Ivan wants to sleep with Vivian to balance the effect of the anti-lactation drug)
VIVIAN: Ivan's been there for me all these years. Can I really deny him this one small request. Oh hell, I can manage one unselfish act. (2/97)

(Vivian is talking to Ivan at a bar.)
VIVIAN: Susan. Can you imagine? That woman wanted to name that helpless little baby Elvis.
IVAN: Well, he is "the King," after all.
VIVIAN: Sometimes you scare me, Ivan. I just hope we've seen the last of that fruitcake.

VIVIAN (after Ivan faints upon hearing that Kristen wants them to dig up Peter's body themselves): Not again
(Vivian bends over him)
KRISTEN (looking on): Would you smack him for me? (May 1997)

(Ivan and Vivian are spying on Susan who is at an exclusive spa. Ivan is posing as a woman, "Ivana", so that they will let him in. In this scene, he has a facial mask on and is speaking to the receptionist.)

IVAN(A): The only head I want to turn is that of my madam.
RECEPTIONIST: Your madam?
IVAN(A): uh huh
RECEPTIONIST: They'll let anybody in here these days. (May 28, 1997)

(In need of a prescription, Vivian and Ivan make the mistake of turning to Marlena for help)
MARLENA: You've had an acute anxiety attack?
IVAN: Yes, and I really, really need my tranquilizers.
MARLENA: Well, maybe you wouldn't have so much anxiety if you would stop scheming with Vivian and Kristen.
VIVIAN: Could you just please write the prescription and we'll be on our way.
MARLENA: Sure. I'll be glad to drop it off at the pharmacy after I'm done with my patient, if you don't mind!
VIVIAN: That woman, Marlena, is so self-righteous. I can't wait for Stefano to kidnap her again! (1997)

(Vivian and Ivan have just figured out that Susan's sister isn't Susan)
IVAN: (hyperventilating) Madame, we kidnapped a nun! This is great. We're not just going to jail, we're going to Hell right after!! (6/97)

MARY MOIRA BANKS: In fact, sometime thereafter she did have Mr. Elvis Presley's name tattooed on her ankle.
IVAN: Ankle? Well, that's a great idea! maybe I should get one!! (Vivian hits him) (6/97)

VIVIAN (as she climbs up to the chimney of the Kiriakis mansion): "I feel like a bloomin' Mary Poppins!"
IVAN: "You be careful, Mary."

VIVIAN (looking in the Pine Haven computers): It looks like there's a patient here from Salem by the name of Laura Horton. Horton! Don't tell me a Partridge Family clone is in a mental institution. (1993)

(Ivan is drunk after Vivian and Laura die at Pine Haven)
IVAN: Why did you have to go Madame?
(Vivian and Laura enter the house through the back; Ivan doesn't see them)
VIVIAN: Aagh! it's hot down here! Turn the air down!
IVAN: Oh Madame! After the hell you went through up here, why did they send you down there! (He begins weeping.) (2/94)
When the Salem crew was in Paris, Stefano kidnapped Vivian and Ivan and they were pleading about how blessed they'd feel if he'd let them go.
STEFANO: "I would feel myself blessed if you would both SHUT UP!".

IVAN: I am incredibly greatful, Mr.DiMera
Stefano: For Vivian's silence? Me too (1996)

IVAN: "Last time you had three martinis, you came up with the idea to bury Carly Manning alive."
VIVIAN: "Wasn't that just brilliant? I get goosebumps when I think about it." (1997)

VIVIAN: Oh, nothing will go wrong.
IVAN: I hate it when you say that. It's even worse than "I've got a plan". (1997)

VIVIAN (to Ivan, after a confrontation with Marlena): "That was outrageous. I can't wait for Stefano to kidnap her again." (1997)

(Ivan comforts Vivian when she is insulted by a common police officer)
OFFICER: Put your wallet and jewelry in the envelope, please.

IVAN: Madame, you look beautiful. Don't worry about him. (1997)

(At Marlena and John's engagement party, Stefano sees an opportunity to attempt to kidnap Marlena while Vivian sees stripes in her future.)
STEFANO: "Now is my chance to take Marlena."
VIVIAN: "Ivan, something tells me we're going to end up in jail again. Before that happens, I'd like a drink, or maybe 10." (7/97)

(Ivan doesn't share Vivian's love of Jonesy)
VIVIAN: Ivan! I don't understand why you think this man is such a threat. He's a kind, gentle person.
IVAN: That's what the neighbors always say after the police carry the corpses out. (1997)

(Later, as Ivan and Vivian continue to debate Jonesy's character, it becomes clear why Vivian finds him "worthy")
IVAN: I wish you would reconsider this. You know nothing about Jonesy! He could be a serial killer!
VIVIAN: Oh, don't be ridiculous, Ivan. He's a perfectly harmless old man, and besides that, he's rich. Rich and elderly. It's a perfect combination! (1997)

IVAN (regarding Jonesy and Vivian's "marriage"): It was a fake marriage. I should know - I was the priest. (1998)

(The day after the dinner party, Vivian brags to Ivan that she soon will have Stefano eating out of the palm of her hand)
