Wayne Northrop: Michael Culhane

Quotes 

• Fallon Carrington Colby : Mind if I come in?

  Michael Culhane : Does it make any difference if I mind? You're the boss's daughter. I'm paid to do what I'm *told.*

  Fallon Carrington Colby : [enters]  I couldn't sleep. Besides, I was kind of bored. What with Jeff away and all.

  Michael Culhane : You look more bored when he's around.

  Fallon Carrington Colby : Cheap shot, Michael.

  [smiles] 

  Michael Culhane : Makes us even. This is some kind of cheap visit, isn't it? Only it so happens that now that you're a... married woman, far be it for me to take advantage of the fact.

  Fallon Carrington Colby : Boy, that English wench must be something terrific.

  Michael Culhane : What wench?

  Fallon Carrington Colby : Colby's secretary. Janet, is it?

  Michael Culhane : Oh, Jennifer.

  Fallon Carrington Colby : [mimics:]  "Oh, Jennifer." Well, I understand that you and "Oh, Jennifer" have become quite close... as it were.

  Michael Culhane : [nods]  As it were.

  Fallon Carrington Colby : How is she?

  Michael Culhane : Well, now, that's... uh... That's a real big order.

  [scoffs] 

  Michael Culhane : Know what I like the most about her? Hard as it will be for you to believe.

  Fallon Carrington Colby : What, pray tell?

  Michael Culhane : Her accent. And the way she talks. And the things she knows and says.

  Fallon Carrington Colby : About her boss and me?

  Michael Culhane : You and Cecil? A little bit, yeah.

  Fallon Carrington Colby : Yeah, I'll bet a little.

  [nods, smiles] 

  Michael Culhane : I don't think she's particularly interested in you, Fallon. Not when it comes to the fine, upstanding Carrington clan. But Mrs. Carrington... Krystle Carrington... Now, therein lies... Lays? Lies another story.

  Fallon Carrington Colby : Which... *you*... are going to tell me.

  Michael Culhane : Why should I? I don't owe you anything.

  Fallon Carrington Colby : Well, because if you don't tell me what I wanna know, I'm gonna have to assault you, despite your best efforts. Destroy your reputation.

  [Michael wants to put his arms around her] 

  Fallon Carrington Colby : Tell me about my father's wife.

  Michael Culhane : Ah... well, now, it seems that Jennifer knows the secretary... Private secretary, another *English wench* as you'd put it... of a loan shark by the name of Volkert. And it seems that one day not too long ago... your father's wife paid him a visit, along with some jewellery. And that when she left his office, she was about $40 000 richer.

  [Fallon is intrigued] 

  Michael Culhane : You want me to go on?

  Fallon Carrington Colby : Yes, go on.

  [nods] 

  Michael Culhane : Say please.

  Fallon Carrington Colby : [smiles]  Michael, I said it. Go on.

  Michael Culhane : Your father ever finds out about this, and he'll kill me.

  [nods] 

  Michael Culhane : And the lady's liable to get hurt

  Fallon Carrington Colby : He won't find out. *From me.* Go on.

  Michael Culhane : Please?

  [his lips gets sealed by a kiss]
