David Forsyth: John

Quotes 

• [John explains to Marlena that they are too connected to the serial-killer suspects] 

  John : Doc, listen. Sami is your daughter. Rex is your son. My son is living in Nicole and Victor's house. Kate is my employee. Lucas is Will's father. Tony is my half-brother and they're all suspects.

• Marlena : You're treating me like a common criminal.

  John : I don't mean to. You're not a common criminal, Doc, you're a cold blooded killer and I think it's time you confess.

• [Roman suggests that Sami and Will should not visit the penthouse until John has Brady under control] 

  Roman : It'd not just this one incident; it is not just a couple of beers. You told me yourself Brady has been acting up.

  John : Yeah so because he's acting up, your going to tell Sami she can't see her mother? Will can't see his grandmother? It doesn't matter what the Hell they want? Is that what we are talking about?

  Roman : First of all, they can see each other some place else, all right? But the fact is Sami is my daughter.

  John : I mean God love her, she is a perfect kid, now isn't she?

  Roman : Boy, that's nice, that's nice, you say that about the girl you raised the one you tell me that you love like your own.

  John : What I am saying is that Eric and Sami were the perfect kids.

  Roman : [laughs]  And you are saying that's because of you, right? J

  John : I'm saying that I didn't have any trouble with them.

  Roman : Well good for you John, now about my wife.

  John : Oh so this is what this is all about...

• [after waiting for car assistance] 

  John : It's about time.

  Marlena : John don't pick a fight with this man.

  John : I don't need you looking over my shoulder.

• [John and Marlena arguing over Brady, which leads to...] 

  John : ...or where you can forget that maybe I made a child with another woman.

  Marlena : No - didn't forget that part.

• [Hattie at Tuscany's for the first time... encounters John] 

  John : Quit starring at me lady or I'll have you picked up for harassment.

• [John bails Brady out of jail] 

  John : You know, maybe what you need is a good old fashioned butt kicking.

  Brady : I don't know, sounds like child abuse to me.

  [pause] 

  Brady : Officer this man is THREATENING me, I would like to file a complaint.

• [after Marlena tells him he must have mixed up the faces he saw] 

  John : You think I don't know the face of my own wife?

• Hope : John, are you okay?

  John : No, I'm not okay. You've lost your father, Brady's lost his grandfather, I've lost friends... REALLY GOOD friends... I wish I could help you but I can't. I CAN'T name your killer.

• John : (to Brady) I don't know who the killer is, son. But when I do I swear to you, I will make sure she NEVER kills again.

• John : You're the love of my life, Marlena, but you're a killer.

• John : That's a fact.
