EJ: It's not a  game, Father. Turn around. I'm gonna finish what I came here to say. I'll shoot you in the back. Sort of fitting, actually, don't you think? I mean, after all the things you did behind my back.

Stefano: If that's what you want. You feel better?

EJ: I'm not gonna feel better until you're dead in the ground. 

Abe: I have to say... I agree with EJ on this.

Abe: Lexie is sick because of you. The most important person in my life, in my son's life, is going to die. Don't you--don't you--don't you walk away from me, you coward! Look at me! You face what you've done! You've denied your own grandson his mother. And now he has to grow up without her comfort and her support. You hear me? Are you listening to me, you son of a bitch?

Stefano: Yes, I am. I'm listening to you, all right. And I will never forgive myself.

Abe: My conscience. You can live with blood on your hands. I can't I wouldn't be able to look at my son if I robbed him of his grandfather. Or my wife, if I stole away her final days with her father, no matter how corrupt he is.

Stefano: [Sighs] Well, I suppose I should thank you.

Stefano: [Laughs] Oh, God, John. All right, come on. Let me have the little speech. You know what I'm talking about. What do you think you came here for? You want to jump up and down and scream and tell me everything that I've done wrong.

John: [Sighs] Doesn't work. The bill's due. And I'm here to make you pay... for trying to kill my wife, my friends, and me. I'm finally gonna give you what you deserve, Stefano.

Stefano: First of all, I never, ever tried to kill you. Let's understand that. Then let me ask you another question. How are you gonna sleep at night knowing that you tried to kill an unarmed man?

John: Knowing that you'll never hurt another human being? Like a baby.

Sami: All right, this has been the most bizarre day. My mom's acting crazy, and now Will is walking around Salem carrying a gun.

Lucas: Mm-hmm. Something's in the air all right.

Hope: You know what, Stefano? Being that close to death made me realize something; that as long as you're around... I will never be safe. My husband and children will never be safe.

Stefano: So, that's why you are here, to put an end to it, right?

{Hope pulls out a gun and points it Stefano}

Hope: Does that answer your question?

Stefano: All right. Then what are you going to do when you get caught, huh? And believe me, you are going to get caught. How are you going to explain this to your family, and to your daughter?

Hope: I won't have to.

Stefano: Let me tell you something. To see the look of disappointment on a child's eye, which I have seen in my children's, there is nothing worse on earth.

Hope: My daughter will be proud of me, Stefano.

Kate (to Stefano): You had no right to do what you've done. Why couldn't you just divorce me like a noble human being? Because you're not a human being.

Bo (to Stefano): You think you got away with it, don't you? Weaseling out of those charges, even though we caught you red-handed? Your reign of terror ends, tonight.

Marlena: I thought I would offer you some insight into your soul. Not that you have one. Do you know why people bully? It makes them feel stronger, when deep down inside they know they're really quite weak. You torture and torment people, because deep down inside you know you have nothing to offer you have nothing to give the world.

Stefano: Thank you, Doctor, for your analysis. Did you ever stop to thin that almost everybody thinks and feels the same way, hmm? Including you?

Marlena: Maybe. But we're talking about you now. You are at your lowest point. That's why you've gone as far as you have. But I'm here to tell you, we're not going to take it from you. None of us. There will be retribution. Do you understand what I'm saying?

Stefano: Perfectly.

Marlena: Well, maybe. I can make one thing clear. I just pity you. But even more than that? I despise you.
