"And let me guess, they think you did it?"

"Ouch. Is that how you say hello?"
Gabi:
"Yeah. Saying hello to someone that almost got my friends killed."
Will:
"Henry just helped us try and find out what Chad's mom's connection to the DiMera's could be hiding. It's not like he's the one that hit us over the head."
Henry:
"You guys haven't figured out who did that?"

"So how are you this morning?"
Chloe:
"A little nauseous, but I'm dealing. With that anyways. I'm nervous about Nathan. I think he's getting too close to the truth."
Philip:
"Yeah especially after that message that I left you yesterday. That was so stupid of me."
Chloe:
"You didn't know that I lost my phone and that Nathan of all people had it. It was my fault for losing it."
Philip:
"No it's not. It's my fault for leaving it. Daniel could of heard it."
Chloe:
"Let's stop placing the blame and come up with a plan to get Nathan off our backs."
Philip:
"Yeah what can we do without throwing an more suspicion our way?"
Chloe:
"I think I have it. Let's just tell him that I confided in you about my affair."

"Yeah that could work."

"Yeah he better."

EJ:
"She is innocent, she didn't attack me."
Hope:
"How can you be so sure?"
EJ:
"Because Arianna closed her door and I saw her do that. 2 seconds later I was attacked. There's no way that she could have done it. Not to mention all the time we were together before that she could have taken me out and she didn't. Plus she just got out of jail. Why would she want to attack me? I helped her get out. And as her lawyer, I want her released immediately."
