    Y&R's Phyllis (Michelle Stafford) and GH's Tracy (Jane Elliot) had stand-out dialogue this week.

    There are so many clever lines uttered on soaps, and in the capable hands of daytime’s most dynamic actors, these sitcom-worthy lines truly tickle our collective funny bone. Here’s a sampling of the humorous dialogue that recently stood out to Digest editors.

    Bold And Beautifu l

    (In front of Deputy Chief Baker, Shelia denies Li and Steffy’s accusation that she killed Tom and Hollis.)

    Li: “Lies! That’s what you do. You hurt people and then do everything you can to cover it up.”

    Sheila: “That's not true.”

    Steffy: “Nine toes says otherwise.”

    Days Of Our Lives

    (Theresa tells Brady she wants Tate to attend her wedding to Alex that night.)

    Brady: “Theresa, don’t you think it’s a little late in the game to have Tate come to your wedding? I mean, the lacrosse camp is in... ”

    Theresa: “Yeah, I know. It’s in Upstate New York. I’m well aware. Flights are only a couple of hours away.”

    Brady: “It’s summertime. The likelihood of finding a flight... Direct flights are going to be sold out by now.”

    Theresa: “Then we'll have Alex send the Titan jet.”

    Brady: “You're going to have the Titan jet pick our kid up at summer camp? You don’t think that’s kind of extravagant?”

    Theresa: “No. Not for the future heir of the Kiriakis fortune.”

    Brady: “I forgot, you’re marrying Jay Gatsby.”

    (Xander arrives at Leo’s hotel room to get dressed for his wedding to Sarah.)

    Xander: “Thanks for letting me get changed in here.”

    Leo: “Oh, consider this the home for naked Scots.”

    Xander: “What?”

    Leo: “I said, ‘Anything for the boss.’ ”

    General Hospital

    (Maxie finds Nina lost in thought.)

    Nina: “Sonny was just here.”

    Maxie: “Oh, boy.”

    Nina: "No, no. It wasn’t like that. We had a good conversation. He was like his old self.”

    Maxie ( disbelieving ) : “Oh, what did he want?”

    Nina: “To bury the hatchet.”

    Maxie: “In who?”

    (Chase gives rookie Dex some cop shop advice)

    Chase: “You need to study the community. Really get a feel for it. But those weren't the biggest or roughest challenges.”

    Dex: “What was?”

    Chase ( sighs ) : “Not being able to talk about my beloved Red Sox.”

    Dex: “Oh, man. You’re a refugee from Red Sox Nation.”

    Chase: “Yep. There’s nothing but Yankees fans here as far as the eye can see.”

    Dex: “I’m a Dodgers guy.”

    Chase: “Hmm. I’d keep that to yourself around here. Being a Dodgers fan is something you don’t come back from.”

    Dex: “I’ll add that to my list.”

    (IYKYK)

    Gio: "I’m so happy that I’m here, but I do miss the city.”

    Tracy: (rolls her eyes)

    Gio: “What?”

    Tracy: “New Yorkers call New York City ‘The City.’ As if there are no other cities around.”

    Gio: “Well, it’s the best one.”

    (Gio later gives Tracy his take on the best New York City has to offer.)

    Tracy: “Okay, so we've covered four of the five boroughs. I know nothing about Staten Island. I’ve never gone there.”

    Gio: “Don’t worry. No one does.”

    Young And Restless

    (Nick’s business lunch at Society gets canceled so he asks Phyllis to dine with him.)

    Phyllis: “Is this how you wrangle all your ladies, by asking them out last minute?”

    Nick: “Only the ones I feel sorry for because they have nothing else to do.”

    (They encounter Sharon, who is acting strange, and Phyllis anticipates Nick’s next move.)

    Phyllis: “I know you, you have your hero thing. I can tell when you want to come in and save someone.... and before you start saddling up your white horse, I want you to know something about Sharon.”

    Nick: “What's that?”

    Phyllis: “You have this vision of her, you know, I guess it’s a ‘first love’ thing but she’s not the same person she was in high school.”
