Derek: Not in God's name, Ben. In mine.
Ben: I don't believe it.
Derek: Well, sorry to disappoint you, Ben, but I'm back.
Ben: You bloody bastard.[censored in the UK]
 

Derek:(going through Ben's wallet) What have we here? Americans and their presidents. Lot's of dead ones here. Oh, Gold Card. Platinum Card! Horrid drivers license photo. Oh, the object of desire. Meg. "To Ben, my love forever. Meg." Well, not quite forever, Meg. I'm afraid it's gonna be a bit shorter.

Ben: Meg...
Derek: Meg, Meg! How pathetic!
Ben: If anyone's pathetic, it's you. I swear, if you hurt her...!
Derek: You'll do what exactly? You're chained up in the warehouse in the middle of nowhere, you idiot!

Meg: I just wanna go home and apologize to Ben. Every time I went to see Madam Carmen it must have been eating him up inside and he never ever said a word to me, Gabi, NEVER! I swear, I will never doubt Ben, no matter what anyone else says.

Derek:(knocking Ben unconscious) You talk too much, Ben.

Hank arrives in Sunset Beach and is impressed by Ben's house:
Hank: They don't built like this in Kansas.
Joan: They never did.

Gabi: You can have all the best intentions, Madam Carmen...! Oh, or should I say Mrs. Torres?! But it's what you do to others and I will never forgive you for what you've done to Meg! I will never let you hurt her again! She's in love! And she deserves to be happy! And if I have anything to say about this no one in this town will buy into this... this twisted family plot of yours against Ben! Or anything else you've got to say for that matter! No one! So just stay away from her, because you are wrong about Ben! All of you! [ I just LOVED Gabi then].

Gabi:(to Ricardo and Antonio) He loves her! You have to believe that! He would do anything for her! He would... He would die for her if he had to!

Hank: Not that I'm apologizing for that welcome I gave you. All I knew was that my little girl was coming back from Sunset Beach crying over some man named Ben Evans, but I decided to sit back and see how you treat my daughter.
Joan: And you liked what you saw, didn't you, Hank?

Meg: You're much different man that I met last year. Do you remember that day?
Derek: Yeah, we were on the beach and the sun was setting...
Meg: What are you talking about? We were in the Java Web and you threw out that Arnold Shwarzeneger wannabe guy who was coming onto me!

Derek: My sweet Meg. It'd be hell to be separated from you. I just imagine the... the pain, the torture.
Meg: That's something that you will never have to worry about.
Derek: Not me.
Meg: I'm with you the way it should be.
Derek: I couldn't have said it better myself.

Derek:( taking the cell phone from Ben as he was trying to contact Meg) Now, I can't have you making personal  calls on my time, now!

Meg: (to Ricardo) Don't waste your breath warning me about Ben again. I trust him completely and I love him with all of my heart.

Ben: I'm gonna kill you.
Derek: Can you kill someone who's already dead?

Derek: And now I can get as close to Meg as I want. Since she thinks I'm you.
Ben: You stay away from Meg, you hear me?!!! You stay away!!!
Derek: Sorry, too late.
Ben: I swear, I am gonna kill you Derek!
Derek: I don't think so. [Think twice]

Derek: So much for the break away plans. It's no use anyway.
Ben: And just what is that supposed to mean?
Derek: Wouldn't you like to know.
Ben: I swear, if you hurt Meg...
Derek: I get someone who'd enjoy that.
Ben: What have you done to Meg?!
Derek: Well, it's not so much what I did  to her. It's what she did to me.
Ben: What the hell are you talking about?
Derek: Well, I've never thought much of you in the past, brother dear, but I have to admit - you have great taste in lovers. I'd have to give Meg a ten in that department.
Ben: You know, I don't believe for a second that Meg made love to you.
Derek: Believe what you want. I know what happened.
Ben: NOTHING happened.
Derek: If only you could have seen the look on her face when I brushed her beautiful hair from her smooth skin when she woke up. It was the fantasy come true.
Ben: You're lying, brother.
Derek: Because of that ridiculous pact you made about not making love before you were married? Well, sorry, but all bets were off when we canceled the elopement.
Ben: Well, I'm afraid I still don't believe it. Meg would never sleep with you. With her parents in the house or without for that matter, because she'd known you're not me.
Derek: And how can you be so sure? Remember when we were kids? I always used to pretend to be you.
Ben: Yeah, I remember. You never got away with it.

Ben: Oh, I see, you're not out just to get rid of me. You wanna be me.
Derek: No wonder people always called you the smart one.

Derek: I also checked your files, your computer, but no password. It's in your head isn't it? I know I'm right. You always used to keep things from me. I always hated it when you did that. Now, I want that password.
Ben: And what makes you think I would ever give it to you?
Derek: Meg. You love her. And giving me what I want is your only hope of keeping her alive.

Derek: I will never understand why everyone thought you were the bright one.
Ben: Well, don't waste your brain cells trying to figure that out.
Derek: Do you have any idea how much I wanna kill you?
Ben: Then why don't you just shut up and get on with it?
Derek: You know damn well why.
Ben: Why? Cause you'd miss me too much if I were gone?

Derek:( to Tim ) Finally some privacy. So I can blow your brains out. Then again, it ought to be hard to shoot what's already gone.

Derek: Now, I'm gonna ask you a few questions.
Meg: Oh, great, like in that movie 'Sex, lies and videotapes'?
Derek: Never saw it. But I like the title.

[Now, remember about that not giving a damn about what Derek has to say, but only caring for Meg's love for Ben? Here's one of those quotes.]

Derek: Who do you love, Meg?
Meg: You, of course.
Derek: How much?
Meg: Ben, I love you more than anything.
Derek: (to himself) This is perfect. If I don't kill brother Ben, this tape will. (to Meg) Describe how we met.
Meg: Ben, this is crazy, okay?
Derek: Please, indulge me.
Meg: Okay. You were my knight in shining armor who save me from that steroid monster at the Java Web.
Derek: I remember it well. And the first time I kissed you?
Meg: Well, we were right here in this living room and we were dancing and you took me to the deck and kissed me under the stars and moonlight. It was SO romantic.
Derek: Well, you haven't seen anything yet. So tell me about some of the romantic things we've done together.
Meg: Are you sure you want me to say all this on tape?
Derek: Well, we don't have to show it to anyone. It will be for our eyes only.
Meg: Okay. God, there've been so many romantic adventures with you, but I guess my favourite one would be making love to you when I returned to Sunset Beach from Kansas.
Derek: One of my favourite memories, too. [Yeah, like you wish, you bastard]  And what day are you looking forward to the most?
Meg: Our wedding day. The day that I get to marry the man that I love.
Derek: And what night?
Meg: Okay, you know what? This interview is over! God, now, you know,  if anyone ever told me that Ben Evans would videotape me and ask me all these questions I never would have believed them. Look, come here. Are you just gonna stand there or you're gonna come over here?
Derek:What for? [ Something that wasn't meant for you, you snake]
Meg: You'll see...

Meg: Ben, I know your headache wasn't the only thing that made you blow up.
Derek: No?
Meg: No. It's the stress of having my parents here. You're not used to having so many people around. I understand what you're going through.
Derek: How can you be so understanding?
Meg: Because I love you. And I know that you love me.

Ricardo does his usual "Ben is dangerous" routine:
Meg: God, that is enough, okay? You sound like a broken record. Just like Tim.
Ricardo: Meg, Meg, damn it! I've been a cop long enough to know a little bit about psychology! Now, Ben has a very dark side to him. Even if it's not always obvious, it's still there! God help the person who gets in his way. Like you.
Meg: You know, I can't even believe I'm having this conversation with you AGAIN! Ben isn't gonna hurt me or anyone else! I love him and I trust him completely. Is that clear? Now good-bye.

Derek is showing Ben the holographic image of Meg. Poor Ben can't take his eyes of her...
Derek: Nothing like a captive audience, I always say.

Ben: (to Derek) If you kill Meg I'll have no reason to live.

Ben: Go to hell, Derek.
Derek: As your American friends say: "Been there, done that".

Ben: I'll kill you Derek!!!
Derek:(putting the gag into Ben's mouth) Remember what our mother used to say? Don't talk with your mouth full.

Ben: I told you leave Meg out of this!
Derek: How touchy. Your protecting your precious little Meg. You know, once I get what I need from her there's really... There's really no need for me to keep her alive. Especially now that she knows about this warehouse.
Ben: She wouldn't come back here! You heard her. She's a very trusting person. [ Did you, too, hear all that love for Meg in his voice when Ben said that?]
Derek: Yeah, yeah. Luckily for me. But I can't take the chance that she'll come back and find you. Not that she'll have too much time anyway. She'll probably be too busy lying in my arms, letting me stroke her silky smooth skin...
Ben: You stay away from her, you hear me, bastard!!!? [censored in the UK]

Meg: I appreciate everything that you'd give me, I really do, but the only thing that I want you to share with me right now is yourself.
Derek: What do you mean?
Meg: I wanna know about your family. What it was like growing up. You never share these things with me.
Derek: I'm sure you wouldn't find it very interesting.
Meg: I would find anything about you interesting, Ben.

Meg: You did prove yourself. But that's not why I love you. I love you for who you are, not for what you've done.

Derek: You really do understand me, don't you?
Meg: Of course, I do. Isn't it what love's all about? Connecting with someone so deeply that you feel what they feel?

Derek: We need to discuss my financial holdings.
Meg: Ben, I don't care about any of that. That's what I've been trying to tell you. ( putting her arms around his waist) I love YOU, Ben Evans and this is the only holding that I want.

Meg: (when Derek stopped the kiss)  Something wrong?
Derek: You're the one who didn't wanna make love while your parents were here.
Meg: Ben, we were just kissing.
Derek: Yeah, well, another kiss like that and who knows what might happen.

Ben&Derek's Mother: I'll never understand how identical twins could turn out SO different.

Eddie: Ben, don't try to blow me off here, because I swear...
Derek: Don't swear, it isn't polite.

Ben&Derek's Mother: Why won't Derek leave you alone? I mean, I know he's jealous, but, Ben, why must he always want what you have?

Derek: You think you know everything, don't you? Well, you don't know this. What if I told you I had no intention of leaving Sunset Beach?
Ben: I'd tell you were bluffing.
Derek: Wrong. You know, I like it here, Ben. Yeah. The lovely sunsets, the crashing of the waves on the shore, the undying love of YOUR beautiful fiancee...
Ben: Leave her out of this!
Derek: But she's very much a part of it. You see, Ben, I've... I've decided to take your place. Mr. Ben Evans, meet Mr. Ben Evans.
Ben: You won't fool anyone, Derek.
Derek: Well, Meg believes I'm you. And if I can fool her, I can fool the world.
Ben: Maybe. But you can't change who you are, Derek. It'll only be a matter of time before people start learning to hate you.
Derek: Yeah, well, if they do, it's you they'll be hating. Just like Mark did when he thought it was you who killed him. And just like Meg will when she realizes what her Ben is REALLY like.
Ben: She'll see through you, Derek.
Derek: I doubt it. She'll just think Ben's gone from Dr Jekyll to Mr. Hyde. And it's really gonna kill her. It really is.

Meg: Ben, you're too good to me. You're generous with your forgiveness, just like you are with everything else.
Derek: It's because I love you so much. It's easy for me to forgive you.
Meg: No. It's more than that. Ben, you're renovating this warehouse to be our new home together. And the goblets - such a thoughtful gesture.
Derek: Well, I'll do anything to hold your love.
Meg: Ben, it's not because of that. It's not because of the house or the goblets. I love you for who you are.

Meg: I just wanna be special to you.

Derek: She really is lovely, isn't she?
Ben: You stay away from her!!!
Derek: Or what? You will kill me? I don't think so. [ I thought I've already told you to think twice, didn't I? You'd better listen to this one.] While you're in this pit I'm living in your beautiful house, sitting on your very comfortable sofa, drinking your very expensive wine, enjoying your very beautiful fiancee.
Ben: You keep your hands off her, all right?!!!
Derek: Too late. I'm addicted.

Derek: You'll get your money, Connors. I just have to liquidate a few assets first.
Eddie: Well, it better be soon. Or it's Meg's love for you that's gonna be liquidated.

Derek: Too bad I'm not friends with Bill Gates. He'd crack Ben's password in a heartbeat.

Derek: I'll find some suitably savage way to deal with Connors later.

Derek: Brother dear, what's the matter? You look like a Kansas corn withering on the stock.

Derek: I always get what I want.
Ben: Yeah, like you did in the past.
Derek: Well, I will  this time. You mount my words.
Ben: How? By killing me? Very heroic, Derek.
Derek: It shouldn't come as any surprise to you that I always intended to put you six feet under.
Ben: Then just do it, then, will you? I'm getting bored of your melodramatic delays.

Ben: Kill me now and I guarantee you will never know the password to my Swiss bank accounts.
Derek: Oh, Ben, Ben, Ben, Ben... You're so simple. Obviously I don't need a password anymore.
Ben: Oh, and what sick twisted little plan have you come up with now?
Derek: It's quite brilliant, actually. You see, suppose your body was lost at sea and never found...
Ben: (ironically) Oh, that's brilliant.
Derek: A, A, A, A, A! Please, let me finish before you pass judgment!

Ben: You seriously expect to raise like the Phoenix from the ashes in order to reclaim my fortune from Meg?
Derek: And why not? People come back from the dead all the time. You're looking at living proof.

Eddie: You have a twin?! Oh, get out of here!!!
Ben: Believe me, I've been trying.

Derek: I'll do whatever it takes to marry you.
Meg: I like the sound of that.

Derek:(after Meg hugged him unexpectedly) What's this for?
Meg: To thank you. For making me feel so lucky.
Derek: Lucky for what?
Meg: Lucky for having you in my life. And I'm glad you've finally told me about your headaches.
Derek: Well, I'm sorry I kept it from you.
Meg: I know, I just wish you'd told me sooner.
Derek: Why?
Meg: So I could have helped. Ben, don't you know that there's nothing I wouldn't do for you?
Derek: You really would do anything for me, wouldn't you?
Meg: Isn't that what love's all about?

Meg: Ben, you have changed. You are incredible, loving, sensitive man.
Derek: You really think that about me?
Meg: Of course, I do. We've been through so much together. Good and bad. And it only keeps getting better.
Derek: I... I don't know what to say. [I bet you don't. You've never encountered so much love for a person in your entire sorry life, and you never will. It's not for you.]
Meg: You don't have to say anything. Just love me. That's all you have to do, Ben. Just love me.

Derek: Ben's wealth. Ben's fiancee. Who says I can't have it all? (the phone rings)
Eddie: Hello, Ben. It's your worst nightmare calling. [Does that answer your question?]

Derek: Well, I still don't see the need to get our stories straight about the break-in at my place. As far as I'm concerned it's a dead issue.
Eddie: Well, dead issues have a nasty way of coming back to life.

Ben hasn't seen anything to eat or drink for God knows how long. Eddie shows him an empty carton of milk:
Eddie: Got Milk?

Ben: Try to overcome your natural urge to be an idiot, Eddie.

Annie: I was just concerned about Ben and Meg, you know, Ben is a partner in Liberty Corporation.
Gregory: That's a fact I am aware of.
Annie: Well, he is, you know, planning to marry Meg.
Gregory: Annie, make your point.
Annie: My point is what happens if they divorce? Would Meg becoma a partner like Alex Mitchum did when she got her divorce?
Bette: Oh, phuleeze, Poopsie! Ben and Meg getting a divorce? Look, numero uno -- they're not even maried yet. And numero due -- I have never seen two people more in love!!!

Bette: Aha! Well, if it isn't the Prince Of Darkness.
Derek: Prince of Darkness?
Bette: Well, obviously you are not reading my column.
Derek: Your column?
Bette:(waving palms in front of his face) Hello? Ben? Anybody home here?

Annie: After you canceled your elopement we weren't sure we were gonna see you two ever again.
Meg: Well, your concern was wasted, Annie. Because Ben and I are still getting married.
Annie: Well, I wouldn't wait too long. You wouldn't wanna lose a handsome devil like this.

Annie: Can I get you something?
Derek: I can think of one or two things I'd like. [Wasn't the expression on Annie's face just PRECIOUS?!!!]

Annie: The Ben Evans I know hasn't given me the time of day since Little Miss Kansas Corn Stock two-stepped into your heart.

Meg: (to Casey, about "Ben's" headaches) I'm just afraid that something is really wrong and I don't know what I'd do if something even happened to Ben.

Eddie tells Derek that he found Ben:
Derek: I don't know what you're talking about.
Eddie: I'm talking about your twin brother, Ben. You know, the one you got tied up like a gibbon at some sado-masochistic convention?

Eddie: (to Derek) You will be lucky if you don't get the electric chair. Nasty what those things do to your hair.

Derek: Oh Eddie. No wonder you're at the bottom of food chain. You're stupid..

Derek: ( to Eddie ) I've been in this town long enough to know everybody thinks you're a waste of space.

Antonio: Don't ask me. I'm just a priest.

Meg: Don't you want to meet Ben?
Sara: Of course, I do, he sounds like one in the million, but, ppor Tim, you know, he's been through so much. He could use a friendly soul.
Meg: Great. How can Ben compete with that? Just a rich guy with no worry in the world..

Ben: Now, listen very carefully, Eddie. The passsword is: "Deadman".
Eddie: That's a weird passowrd.
Ben: Oh, not so weird when you think about it. Because that's exactly what you'll be sooner rather than later I'd imagine.
Eddie: What the hell are you talking about, Ben?
Ben: Oh, there are a few other passwords you should know. "Idiot", "joop", "back-stabbed". They all describe you.

Meg:(walks down the stairs and looks absolutely beautiful, and Derek keeps staring at her) Ben, what's wrong? Don't you like it? Ben, please, just say something!
Derek: You take my breath away.

Meg: Ben, this is Sara.
Derek: It's a pleasure, Sara.
Sara: I've heard a lot about you.
Derek: Well, none of it is true, I assure you. [ Not in your case, it isn't] We'll have to get together sometime and compare notes.

Annie has drunk a truth serum and is throwing herself at "Ben" [What else is new?]
Derek: Annie, I'm with Meg!
Annie: I know and that's what I call a damn awful shame.
Derek: Excuse me?
Annie: I know, I know, I'm throwing myself at you again, but I want you , Ben. I ache for you and I always will.
Derek: You will, well, at least you're honest about it.
Annie: Yeah, Annie Douglas honest. What's gotten into me?

Gabi notices Annie's usual "Ben, take me now"  behaviour:
Gabi:(to Meg) Hey, do you want me to spill a drink on her to cool her down?.

Bette:(is about to sing) Now, I'm gonna need your help there guys. Well, girls, too, but you know where my loyalties lie.

Annie: (to Meg) Ben loves you, mommy and daddy love you, the whole damn town love you, no wonder why I'm so jealous of you!

Meg: I would love you even if you didn't have a penny to your name, don't you know that?
Derek: Well, I do now. What did I do to deserve your love?
Meg: You loved me.

Joan: (to Vanessa) I'm glad Meg found Ben. I feel better knowing she is with a man who just loves her to death..

Eddie: ( to Derek) You know, you tall, dark, handsome guys are all the same. You say you're gonna call, but then, you never do.

Bette: Headline reads: "Ben Evans Sells Papers."

Ben: (to Eddie) You know, I always knew you had the morals of the snake, Eddie. I didn't realize you had the brains, too.

It should have worked, but since Eddie is an idiot...
Ben:It owes wrong about you having the brain of a snake, Eddie. I think a worm would be more appropriate, don't you?

Eddie has enough listening to the truth about himself so...
Eddie: (puting the tape back on Ben's mouth) You know what? I like you better with this thing on.

Bette: See, what my readers really wanna know is what will Meg be wearing. Any idea?
Derek: Yes!
Bette: Golden lace?

Bette: Oh, the perfect wedding...  For the perfect couple...

Derek: So, you think you got everything?
Bette: Are you kidding? Women will be rioting at the newsstand to get a copy of this paper!

Bette: Thousands of women are gonna be drooling over you tomorrow morning, honey.
Derek: Well, you better go ahead, then.

Bette:(to Derek) You know something? Meg is a lucky gal. [You know, Bette starts to sound like Joan. Stating the obvious.]

Derek: Oh, Eddie, such a nasty little list of my crimes. So maddeningly true.

Sara: Do you know how lucky you are to find a man who loves you like that?
Meg: Ben is the best thing that ever hapenned to me.
Sara: Sounds like you've found the perfect guy. Too bad he doesn't have a brother.

Eddie: Who's there?
Derek: It's the Grim Reaper. And he's not very happy.

Meg: Ben is going to turn it into a palace.
Sara: Well, your house on the beach doesn't seem too shabby to me.
Meg: Yeah, but I guess Ben just likes to spoil me. You know, I... It's weird, but it's like his mission in life is to take every dream I ever had and make them all come true. I feel like Alice in Wonderland sometimes, on the other side of the glass.
Sara: You're lucky, Meg. You've found your soulmate.
Meg: Well, I don't know if it's so much luck, Sara. I followed my dreams and I was blessed for doing so. Every time I look into Ben's eyes I thank God that I found him. He is the love of my life.
Ben: God knows, Meg, I love you, too.

Sara: How do you make it through that sort of thing ? (like Terror Island, etc.)
Meg: By believing in him. And us. Ben hasn't exactly been himself lately, but I know he'll get over this one  if I give him all my love.

Meg: All I care about now is marrying Ben. It can't happen soon enough for me.

Derek: (showing Ben the Polaroid photos of Eddie's body) Good shots, aren't they? I'm thinking of entering them into one of those photo contests for best still life.

Derek: Well, I wanted tonight to be special.
Meg: Ben, it's special every time we make love. Not just because you're tender. It's because of all the romantic things you do for me. Like the time you filled the Java Web with white roses.
Derek: Your favourite flower?
Meg: That's why I love you. You're always doing little things for me.

Meg: I left Tim at the altar in Kansas to chase the dream.
Derek: Me? [ Well, sorry to disappoint you, but not you. Your brother dear - Ben]
Meg: I hoped that I would find you and that we would be together. But I never dreamed it would be as perfect as it is. Do you know how happy you make me?
