The Jungle

JOHN (as he shows Stefano a chart): "I want you to mark on this chart for the pilot the location of where we are going."
Stefano quickly pinpoints the location on the chart.
JOHN, looking at the place Stefano has marked: "My God, that's an uncharted jungle!" (1997)

(After John, Kristen, Hope and Stefano have headed for the jungle)
ABE: "Why do you think Kristen is missing?"
ROMAN: "Because I live with her and I haven't seen her in a while" (1997)

(Stefano sends Hope and Kristen to separate rooms to keep them from fighting about why John 'died', then he talks to his assistant.)

(When John's foot gets caught between a rock and a hard place, Hope uses cold cream to redefine beauty "aid")

HOPE: Credit vanity.(1997)

STEFANO (to Kristen, who wants to follow John into the jungle): ""It will take more than a compass, sweetheart, to bring you and John back together!" (1997)

(Hope brings John's compass to him so he won't get hopelessly lost trying to find Roman's cure)
JOHN: You bring new meaning to the phrase "Hope has arrived!"

 

Other Adventures and Schemes

(Lucille leaves Billie alone at Ms. Faversham's, giving her a chance to plant a listening device)

BILLIE: Well, you picked a fine time to leave me, Lucille.....

(Billie realizes that she could use Lucile, Ms. Faversham's servant, against Hope)
BILLIE: "That maid and I have one powerful thing in common. We both hate little Miss Hope-less."

TableclothPETER (to Jenn): Who are you going to believe-your husband or a psycho wearing a tablecloth on her head? (1996)

SUSAN: John, I was wondering something. I know that Dr. Marlena Evans almost married Roman Brady. Does that mean tyou 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 just wondering. 'cause if you couldn't be with Dr. Marlena Evans, I was wondering, were you going back with Kristen.
JOHN: No, that will never happen, and you know better than anyone that that Kristen is mean, mean, mean.

MARLENA: Thank you, Alice
ALICE: It was my pleasure! (August 22, 1986)


GINGER (on meeting Mickey and Julie): Now wait a minute, let me get this straight, you are uncle and niece?
MICKEY: That's right, my sister Addie was Julie's mother...
GINGER: Who ended up marrying Julie's third husband. Which makes you your own stepmother!
JULIE: Darling, you had to be there.

BILLIE: "How in the world could you let Alice Horton overpower you?"
EARL: "That old lady is pretty spunky, let me tell you."

CALLIOPE:
Roses are Red,
Butterflies are hard to catch,
If I could do it all over again,
I would have gone for Patch.

(Calliope is handing out flyers to promote the Beat Bar at Shenanigans. She comes across a cranky man sitting at a table.)
CALLIOPE: Hello, sir! Are you going to come and dig it at our Beat Bar, dig it?
Man: (crankily) Why don't you go dig yourself a hole and crawl into it?
CALLIOPE: You know, it's people like you that make establishments like this have to provide toilet seat covers. In your case, your seat cover would be square!

DIANA: I am still head of the advertising department and I will let you know when we have meetings. Now if you'll excuse me, I have an appointment.
JACK: With Kayla? I've already told her that we're not going to waste any more newsprint just because some sappy kid gets a pimple! (1989)

Just plain cute

Steve, a guy from the street

KAYLA: Don't patronize me
STEVE: I don't even know what the word means! (1986)

(The Emergency center is busy, and Kayla is the only one there. Patch comes in and offers to help, so while she helps a patient, he handles the waiting room, full of three or four cranky people. A man comes in.)
MAN: I'm sick! I need something!
PATCH: Woooooo, dude, it looks like you need a fashion consultant!!!

(Later, another guy has come in with a swollen jaw, and Patch is not making any progress with trying to entertain them. This guy grows impatient.)
MAN: We want the nurse!!!!!
PATCH: Oh? I'll let you in on a little secret, buddy, SO DO I, but we all have to wait our turn.

KAYLA: I don't understand you! When you're with Hope, you turn into a gentle and kind person, A HUMAN. Then when you're with me, you turn into this tough macho guy who doesn't care about anything! So, which is it? Which guy ARE YOU?|
STEVE: I think it's both, baby. As a matter of fact, I think I'm a chameleon. Wanna heat me up and watch me change colors?

(Patch rescues Max from drowning in the river, and along with Frankie, brings him to Kayla at the Emergency Center. Kayla says she'll fix his cut.)
STEVE: Yeah! She's good at fixing people up!

STEVE: (With a smirk on his face) Not as much as I'd like her to!

(After Werner stabs Steve, trying to locate the emeralds, Kayla finds him and brings him back to his place. She grows frustrated.)

STEVE: Wooooo...there are parts you haven't even gotten to yet! (laughs) (1986)

(After Marlena's memorial service, Steve takes Kayla back to her loft. They kiss and Kayla wants more, but Steve is afraid and says he can't stay and he has to go. Kayla follows him to the door.)
STEVE: I can't stay, baby.
KAYLA: Why not? You stay with other women!
STEVE: You're not "other women", sweetness. There's a difference with the other women. I can love them and leave them. But, if I love you, I don't think I'd be able to leave.

(Hope comes looking for Bo down at the docks, since he works there. Steve is the foreman and comes up behind her)
HOPE: Do you know where Bo is?
STEVE: (putting a finger up to his mouth, sarcastically) Well, gee. He didn't leave me a note on the fridge. (1986)

(Outside of Steve's apartment underneath Shenanigan's, Kayla sees Steve, who is playing his harmonica. She says something to him and he responds sarcastically)
KAYLA: You know, you have a cruel and saracastic mouth.
STEVE: (flirtatiously) You don't hear me making comments about YOUR mouth. (1986)

(Before the remarriage of Roman and Marlena, Kayla makes a stop at the Emergency Center with her dress, among other things. Seems she is having car problems and is feeling a bit stressed. Patch comes along and senses that. He wants to help.)
STEVE: (sarcastically) Come on, Sweetness, are you sure there's nothing I can do to help?
KAYLA: Well, OK. Do you know anything about dead batteries?
STEVE: (with a smirk on his face) I know how to jump them.
KAYLA: (innocently) Then, go jump mine! (1986)

(Bo and Shane have it planned that Britta is going to get the goods on Victor so they can once and for all put him away. To keep Steve from messing it up, they've kidnapped him and brought him to the loft, not telling him what's going on. When they finally do, Bo leaves.)
BO: Will you be OK with Patch here?
HOPE: I can handle it.
STEVE: Yeah, Hope can handle me ANYTIME. (laughing) (1986)

(Hope confronts Steve at Shenanigans, after only knowing him for a couple days. Steve obviously thinks Hope is pretty hot. She wants to talk about what happened in Stockholm and what happened with Steve and Bo.)
STEVE: Well, if it isn't the sexiest cop in Salem! You know that outfit is a real-turn on. Do you have your handcuffs, too?
HOPE: I have them, Patch, but I don't want to use them. Just tell me what happened with you and Bo.
STEVE: Wow, with that outfit and the handcuffs, we could have ourselves a real good time! (1985)

 

Funny situations

Franco was tells Jill that she has to leave town, but she makes Franco promise to take her cat back to her mother's. Franco says, "Yes Jill, I promise I will take your little kitty cat back to your mother's." (1996)

Vivian is standing at the door and John says to her that he's too tired to invite her in. Vivian pushes her way in to the house and begins to talk about Kristen's baby, and leans over to touch her stomach. Kristen lets out a big shriek and John says to Vivian something like "Vivian, how dare you grope Kristen like that. Even she won't let me touch her stomach. She's been so sensitive since the baby almost miscarried." And Vivian replies "And don't you find that a little peculiar."

Just after Kate was "killed" in the plane crash, Ivan took some coffee to Vivian's room. It was in the same silver coffee pot the she had placed the sleeping pills in. She said something like, "Ivan, get that away from me! That's like showing Lady Macbeth the bloody knife!"

During the Salem High graduation in 2002, there is a very humorous scene when Shawn goes up to the stage to receive his diploma. Hope, in the audience, gets out her camcorder and begins to laugh as she is "filming" Shawn on the stage. Bo looks up and gives Hope a disgusted look - she has forgotten to take the lens cap off!

 

 

 

Duh!

Roman to Bo and Hope: "Until J.T. is found, he is still missing" (May 23, 2001)
