TESS & ANTONIO QUOTES
PART 2
Part 1 ++ Part 2 ++ Part 3

Antonio: (to the Buchanans about Tess) Well, she's right. She doesn't have to talk if she doesn't want to.
Tess: Am I supposed to be grateful now?
Antonio: No. No, I just thought that if you want to talk to Nash you should be able to.
Tess: Oh, well, thank you, Antonio. Thank you very much. I'm a real person, aren't I?

[Antonio agrees to let Tess call Nash]
Antonio: You know the number to the winery?
Tess: Well, yes, I do, Antonio. It is my house. It's 916-555-0139, and please be sure to dial 1 before you place your call.

Dr. Fox: Tess, you're not going to disappear.
Tess: No, I won't disappear, but I'll end up with him. (she gestures to Antonio) And you know what? That's worse.

Antonio: Maybe we should just bring Jess back.
Tess: What, you going to put me back in my room, big boy?

Antonio: Who do you think you are?
Tess: Somebody who's not going to be shoved around by you.

Antonio: I have an idea, and the only way it's going to work is if we're all willing to cooperate.
Tess: Please, hurry up and tell us. I know I can hardly wait.

Antonio: Come with me to our loft. I promise I'll have you back here before Nash's flight arrives. I have something I want to show you.
Tess: It's your loft, and I would rather drink drain opener than go anywhere with you.

Nash: You're worried about Antonio busting in.
Tess: Yes, I am. I mean, that's what he always does. He comes busting in, and then he babbles on about this great love that he has for Jessica to make her come out, and it's sick.

Antonio: Jessica, if you're in there, please, talk to me.
Tess: Back the hell off, Antonio, right now.
Antonio: I want to talk to Jessica.
Tess: Well, too bad, because she doesn't want to come out, okay? You know, you're going to have to get this at some point. This is my life, this is my boyfriend, and this is my baby, okay? And nothing you can say or do is going to make me disappear. I'm good and pissed, Antonio, and I am never as strong as when I am good and pissed. So you get the hell out of here or I'm going to call the cops.

Antonio: I made Jessica a promise that I would keep her safe and that's what I'm going to do.
Tess: Okay, fine, fine, fine. So go stand out in the hall and then we'll let you back in when we're ready -- 15 minutes, okay?
Antonio: No.
Tess: Antonio, I'm five months pregnant. We're on the second floor. What am I going to do -- jump out the window and fly away?

Antonio: Jessica?
Tess: No such luck, Antonio.

Tess: Oh, great. Antonio. Run and get me some salad dressing?
Antonio: You're mentally impaired, not physically. Get it yourself.
Tess: That's not very nice.

Antonio: Look, you know, you keep talking to me like I'm the enemy.
Tess: Wow, you have a firm grasp of the obvious.

Antonio: I'm not the one who's keeping secrets from you. Has Nash told you who beat him up yet?
Tess: You know, you're pretty cocky for a member of the Santi family.

Tess: You know, Jessica's not in right now, so why don't you call back later?
Antonio: Okay.
Tess: Much later.

Antonio: You know, I heard you when -- when you were saying that Jessica needed you.
Tess: Wow. I feel so validated.

[Antonio and Nash enter the room after the paternity test]
Tess: Still here.
Nash: Tess -- are you okay?
Antonio: How's the baby?
Tess: I'm fine, Antonio. Thanks for asking.

Tess: What makes you so sure that I can stay in control, especially with Antonio hanging around?
Nash: Well, I guess it's a good thing that that fine fellow got his foot caught in a bear trap.
Tess: Couldn't have happened to a nicer person.

Cristian: (to Carlotta) I have a feeling no matter what happens with this baby, Antonio's going to have his hands full with this Tess.
