Eric: Victor.
Victor: For me? How sweet. Or are you going on a date? Daniel used to go on dates. He doesn't anymore. He's dead.
Eric: You don't need to make me feel guilty. I got that covered all by myself.
Victor: I see you're consumed with guilt. That's why you got all dressed up and went to a flower shop to find the perfect rose. Have a lot of fun on your date. What are you gonna do? Have a few cocktails, go for a spin? Make sure you tell the young lady to buckle her seatbelt.
Eric: I don't drink anymore and I don't drive.
Victor: I'm sure Roman and Marlena convinced you that the good people of Salem would welcome you with open arms. Maybe they will. Most of us won't. I never will. Like most of the people who know you, I wish I never had to look at your face again.

Chad: Hey, baby. Where's Thomas?
Abby: He's upstairs.
Chad: Everything all right?
Abby: Hope came by here earlier today and said Deimos had been beaten up and you were responsible. That true?
Chad: Uh... I gave him a taste of his own medicine.
Abby: No!
Chad: It was a small taste. I didn't put him in a meat locker for a couple of days or kidnap someone he loves and poison them, which I think shows a lot of restraint.
Abby: This is not funny!
Chad: No, it's not, but I had to give him the message in terms he understands that you don't get to mess with my family and get away with it.

ISA agent Dad, doctor Mom, they pay your rent. Looks like you won the parent sweepstakes.

Deimos, you know it's so surprising that a man as beloved as you would get the crap kicked out of him. Tell me, did a mob just descend on you or did your friends draw straws to see who got the honors?

Victor

All the Dimera enforcers are classically trained.

Paul: Good morning.
Sonny: Oh. Hi.
Paul: Oh, hi? I thought I'd get more than that after last night.
Sonny: Sorry. I'm a little distracted.
Paul: I thought we could do lunch. Did you get my text?
Sonny: No. Not yet. I'm too busy reading "Make it work" texts from Deimos.

Deimos: I believe that the younger generation in this family have been handed everything on a silver platter, and they don't appreciate it.
Maggie: By younger generation, you must mean Sonny.
Deimos: All right, fine. Let's start with Sonny. I'm trying to work with him, Maggie. I've just given him a very important position in the company and instead of being grateful for the opportunity, he's being an oversensitive, temperamental pain in my neck. But at least he's still here. Brady, on the other hand, he's taken off, abandoned the family, Titan. He's left me all alone to deal with the Hernandez family on my own.
Maggie: Well, there's an easy solution to the Dimera and the Hernandez families. Just bow out.
Deimos: I do that and I lose face.
Maggie: With whom?
Deimos: With everyone. Except Nicole. She's taken off too.
Maggie: And to think I naively thought that maybe I'd gotten through to you the last time we had a serious conversation. Let me ask you a question. Has doing things your way gotten you anywhere?

It's hard to believe that Deimos who runs a multimillion dollar corporation is having meetings in alleys.

Nicole: [walking through house in towel] I know I left my flip flops in here somewhere.
Scooter: [whistles] Looking for these?
Nicole: Get out of here!
Scooter: Oh come on, Misty baby. I just came over here to borrow a cup of sugar.
Nicole: Don't call me that.
Scooter: You're all the sugar that I need. Bridgette, I saw Freddie leave with the kids. It's just the two of us. ANd I love what you're wearing.
Nicole: I told you, I am so not interested.
Scooter: Don't worry about anyone finding out. It'll just be our little secret.
Nicole: Like hell!
Scooter: You say one word to the wife and I'll blow the whistle on who you used to be.
Nicole: You know, I was forced into porn, okay, and that was like, 20 years ago. My husband understands. No one else is gonna care.
Scooter: Oh, I'm not talkin' about Misty Circle, porno queen. I'm talkin' about Nicole Walker. Kidnapper, fugitive from justice. Yep, that's right. I know your real secret.

Andre: The day has finally come for you and Chad to renew your vows. I can't tell you happy I am. What's wrong?
Abigail: Me. I was wrong. How could I have been so stupid?

Eli: What did Gabi ever do to you?
Julie: For one thing, she killed Nick, who was your cousin, and she barely did any prison time for it.
Eli: I was told there were extenuating circumstances.
Julie: Well, here's Nick's circumstances. He's dead. And Gabi's circumstances are, she shot him. Don't be seduced by those big brown eyes.
Eli: Grandma, can I tell you something?
Julie: Of course.
Eli: Once you get to know me better, you'll learn that nobody tells me what to do.

Like sands through the hourglass... so are the Days of Our Lives.
