Billy Campbell Quotes

	Season 4 / Episode 21: - No Lifeguard on Duty (2) Brooke Armstrong: Hello, Billy. Miss me? Nice job at my funeral. What happened? Couldn't you admit that it's your fault that I'm dead? Billy Campbell: This isn't happening. Brooke Armstrong: Oh, yes it is, and it is your fault. I came to you with so much love, and you gave me nothing but hate. Too bad Alison won't stay with you. I guess she knows that you're a heartless, unfeeling bastard! Brooke Armstrong: You can't run away from me. I'll never leave you. Billy Campbell: Stop it! Brooke Armstrong: I'll never leave you alone!
	Season 4 / Episode 21: - No Lifeguard on Duty (2) Billy Campbell: What do you want from me? Brooke Armstrong: I don't want anything from you. I don't need your love anymore. Do you know why? Because you sold me your soul. And all it cost me was one little line. That silly little Lindy Toy slogan, it's going to make you a star. And from now on, every step you take, every bridge you burn, will be because of me.
	Season 4 / Episode 7: - Let the Games Begin Billy Campbell: Don't do this. There are plenty of other accounts that Brooke can get. Amanda Woodward: If it wasn't Brooke, Jack would still find another way in. Billy Campbell: We're not in Miami anymore, so just tell the guy to take a hike. Amanda Woodward: I'm handling this, all right? Just stay out it and stay away from Jack. Billy Campbell: Well, you're not handling it very well. If you're not going to talk to him to get lost, I will. Amanda Woodward: No, Billy! Wait! Listen... um... I didn't know what I was getting into when I married Jack. I was young, wild, naive and immature. One night about a few months after we got married, he was supposed to be out of town on business, and I went out to dinner with some of my girlfriends, and he was waiting for me when I came back. Instead of giving me a kiss, he gave me a black eye... my first black eye. Billy Campbell: Why? Amanda Woodward: Because I went out without his permission. It's an old Sicilian tradition that the husband is in control of the wife, and Jack's father... who is just like him, encourages him to follow in his Italian heritage. The next morning, Jack told me he was sorry and promised that he wouldn't do it again. But a few months later... he did. It would happen every other week, and the only change was that he just stopped apologizing. I kept trying to get away. One time, I made it all the way to Tallahassee when his goons found me and dragged me back, threw me in the house... and when I looked up, there was my father... all bruised and bloody, down on his knees... and Jack was holding a gun to his head. Jack, his father, and their Mafia thugs told me that if I ever tried to leave Jack again, they would kill him. A few months later, my father helped me escape for good with the boating accident and all. Now... when Jack patted you on your shoulder, that was a message. I've seen it before. Jack does that when he marks someone whom he thinks is a threat to him. I just don't want to see you down on your knees with Jack holding a gun to your head. So, do us both a favor, okay? Stay away from him at all costs.

	Season 3 / Episode 5: - Nonsexual Healing Billy Campbell: Palmer had to have taken Jake by force. It's the only thing that makes any sense. I mean, he could never have bought Jake. Jo Reynolds: No wonder Amanda is the way she is. She's Palmer Woodward's daughter, and she's just like him: paranoid, distrustful, deceitful. Her survival instinct always at work in the office and out. "Everyone is out to get me. Get them before they get you. Never trust anyone." Matt Fielding: I don't know. I think she trusted Jake. Allison Parker: [scoffs] Yeah, as much as she could trust anyone.

Amanda Woodward: Well, you should've sensed it. Billy Campbell: You should've been more direct. Amanda Woodward: Could we at least turn it down? Billy Campbell: No, I want it loud. Amanda Woodward: Billy, I'm not kidding. Billy Campbell: Well, neither am I. I live here too, you know. Sometimes I think you forget that. Amanda Woodward: Fine! [gets up and walks out of the room]
