Episode #1.2 (1987)

John McCook: Eric Forrester

Quotes 

• Eric Forrester : Ridge, my older son, thought the line lacked sensuality, excitement.

  Margo Lynley : Why do you put up with him, Eric?

  Eric Forrester : Because he's my son.

  Margo Lynley : You have another son.

  Eric Forrester : I never forget that.

  Margo Lynley : I just hate seeing Ridge hurt you like that. I despise him for it.

  Eric Forrester : You're very loyal, Margo.

  Margo Lynley : I care about you.

• Eric Forrester : May I ask you a very honest question?

  Stephanie Forrester : Of course. Any time. About anything.

  Eric Forrester : Do you get anything out of this marriage? Anything at all?

  Stephanie Forrester : Well, the fact that you asked that question supposes that you don't.

  Eric Forrester : I asked for an honest answer. Don't you feel it, too? Apathy. That malaise.

  Stephanie Forrester : Are you trying to tell me that's what you feel in bed? Because if you are, I don't believe that. I'm there, too, Eric. Remember?

  Eric Forrester : Well, then I'm a man and you're a woman, Stephanie. The word for that is "need"... Look, I'm not trying to hurt you.

  Stephanie Forrester : Oh, this is all under the guise of honesty.

  Eric Forrester : I'm looking for answers.

  Stephanie Forrester : Who is she? Of course. Margo. Your wonderful right arm. Or whatever appendage she is.

  Eric Forrester : There is no other woman, Stephanie.

  Stephanie Forrester : Margo adores you. She'd do absolutely anything for you. Anything. Now, you're not blind to that.

  Eric Forrester : I repeat: there is no other woman.

  Stephanie Forrester : What are these answers that we're looking for?

  Eric Forrester : As simple and as complicated as a marriage gone stale.

  Stephanie Forrester : Eric...

  Eric Forrester : And what do we do about it?
