Manny Quotes of Love

The Rustle of the Sheets . . .
Danny and Michelle Quotes of Love

Note: If anyone has any Manny quotes of love (or lust) they'd like here, email me at [email protected].

One More Note: Bear in mind, these are only quotes that deal with their feelings for one another, or commentary made by others (notably, Drew in the beginning -- thank goodness that Rick, Bill and Pilar are jumping on the bandwagon now).

This means all of those things that Michelle said while pretending in the beginning, ie. "I love Danny. He's my husband," etc. will not be here, simply because they weren't real. I'm only going for the reality of their feelings here -- so, naturally, all of the early quotes will deal with Danny's feelings for Michelle. Thankfully, this is changing and we are seeing that one-side street going both ways now. :)

Danny: Wanna, help me out, Michelle?
Michelle: Uh, okay.
Danny: Tell me the truth.
Michelle: The truth about what?
Danny: Well, what a nice, pretty girl like you is doing studying in a place like this?

Drew (to Michelle): I've seen the way he [Danny] looks at you ...

Danny: You know, that Michelle, she's a real class act.
Jesse: She ain't no act, she's a pretty amazing woman.
Danny: Yeah, she is.

Michelle: Danny and I sorta had a thing.
Drew: A thing?
Michelle: He kissed me. I know, it came out of nowhere. He just walked up to me and kissed me on the mouth ...

Drew (to Michelle): He's been eyeing you ... he made his move.

Drew (to Michelle): Danny has a big thing for you.

Danny (to Michelle): Now, there's only us.

Drew: We both know Danny has the hots for you.
Michelle: You think I actually like Danny's little mind games?
Drew: Either that, or you're real good at faking it.

Danny (to Michelle): Mornin' sexy.

Drew: You don't care who killed your brother anymore.
Danny: Look, you watch what you say to me, Drew.
Drew: That is not what this Jesse thing is about. It's about Michelle. You have feelings for her and you are using your brother's death to get closer to her.
Danny: Okay, Drew, let's suppose that you are right and I do find Michelle to be attractive ... and I think that Jesse killed my brother, which is gonna make this a lot more interesting for me. It's kinda gonna be like, uh, killing two birds with one stone.

Dietz (to Danny): The boss is concerned that you're getting friendly with this, this, Bauer girl.

Danny (to Michelle) : You know, Michelle, I really wish that I was wrong about you guys, especially you.

Drew: I told you the truth so that no one would get hurt. I thought you cared about Michelle.
Danny: And you thought that was gonna save her?
Drew: I don't understand. It was an accident. I don't understand, I thought you liked her.
Danny: Mick was my brother, Drew, he was my brother. Besides, there are a lot of people who want revenge. This went way out of my hands a while ago.

Danny (to Michelle): Please, don't make this any harder on me than it already is.

Danny: Why do you keep following me?
Dietz: Making sure you're not getting soft on this pretty young thing.

Danny (to Michelle): I wonder, I wonder if you're worth risking my neck for?

Deitz: You're throwing your whole life away, every thing you've worked for, been groomed for on some two-bit piece of work off the street --
Danny: -- Hey, hey! Don't you ever talk about Michelle like that again. Ever!

Danny: I'm not going to let you take her away from me. Michelle is here because I want her here. She belongs with me.
Carmen: You're really in love with her, aren't you? You're in love with the girl who killed your brother.
Danny: I know the value of our family, you've taught me that, but you are not going to intimidate her and I will not let you scare her off. She is my wife and you're going to honor that, whether you like it or not.

Danny: Haven't you got it yet, Michelle? All of this is for you. Everything that I have done, I have done to keep you alive. I didn't say anything to my mother just now, because I will do whatever it takes ... I'll do whatever it takes to keep you safe.
Michelle: Oh my God.
Danny: It's not about my mother and it's not about my brother anymore, either. Its, uh, it's about you ... and me.

Danny (to Michelle): W'ere connected, Michelle. I mean, come on, even when we're at each other's throats there's something between us. You know I'm right.

Carmen: The feelings you have for this young woman sadden me.
Danny: Why? Why? You're the one -- you claim that you want me to be happy.
Carmen: I don't think that she can make you happy. In fact, after everything you've done for her, I believe that she'll only end up breaking your heart.
Danny: You're wrong. You're wrong.

Michelle: When we were talking with Father Tomas, I realized that we want the same things out of life.
Danny: We do, yeah. Like everybody does.
Michelle: I know, I just never ...
Danny: What, you never, you never thought that I want those things?
Michelle: Yeah. When we were at Father Tomas' office, I saw somebody that I actually liked. And I realized that we're not so different, you know. We, we have similar dreams.
Danny: Yeah, I mean, they're the same.
Michelle: We deserve to have our dreams come true, Danny, we do.
Danny: Yeah, I know, of course we do.
Michelle: So, maybe we really can make this work out?
Danny: Yeah, we can, you know, but not if we quit. If we do this right, we can have everything we want, by working together, not fighting with each other, trusting each other ....

Danny: Look, hey, I would never hurt Michelle. I would never let anybody touch her. Never!
Jesse: Well, well, well, I see what's going on here, you're falling in love with Michelle, aren't you?

Jesse (to Michelle) : This is about Danny. He's really falling in love with you.

Danny (to Father Tomas) : I have to protect her. I can't let anything happen to my wife.

Danny (to Michelle): Do you know how beautiful you are?

Michelle: Am I supposed to fall in love with you? Learn to love you?
Danny: Look, I don't care one way or the other, okay.
Michelle: Liar. Jesse told me how you feel about me, Danny, and this marriage is not about you protecting me or saving anybody else. This is about you ... you wanting something ....

Michelle: I don't love you. I never will.
Danny: Never say never, Michelle. My grandparents had an arranged marriage and ...
Michelle: And what, they lived happily ever after?
(overlapping) Danny: Yeah, they did! As a matter of fact, they did.
(overlapping) Michelle: Well, good for them. Good for them.
(overlapping) Danny: No, good for us.
Danny: If my grandparents never laid eyes on each other before they were married and they ended up happy, then maybe we can too.

Michelle (about a drawing of herself): Jesse drew that a while ago. It's alright, I guess.
Danny: No, it's not.
Michelle: What?
Danny: Come on, he had a beautiful subject and he didn't do it justice, not at all.

Danny (to Michelle) : You really are something.

Danny: You know, when you -- you take a shower and you comb your hair, you -- you rub lotion into your arms, into your shoulders and you slip into a nightgown and I'm -- I'm sitting in bed, pretending to read or listen to music or whatever, but that's not what I'm doing. I -- I'm watching you. I'm trying not to, but I am. I do. I am a man and when you climb into bed with me, beside me, never touching, never touching, I lie there awake, staring into the dark, aware of everything that you're doing, of how you breathe, of the rustle of the sheets and it takes every ounce of my being to not want to reach out to you. I care about you. I desire you. I want to reach out to you.

Carmen (to Michelle) : He's very devoted to you. He truly loves you.

Drew: Does Danny like you?
Michelle: I think he's actually starting to have feelings for me.

Ray (to Carmen): My cousin is a man in love.

Danny: (as Michelle steps beside him at the altar) You look beautiful.

Danny: Are you nervous?
Michelle: Yeah, I think I'm gonna faint.
Danny: Just look at me.

Danny: You know sometimes people meet each other under very unusual circumstances. We did. Who knows why God puts a particular person into your life. I certainly didn't expect to meet someone like you and I know you didn't plan on meeting a guy like me, but by divine providence or fate or just plain luck, we were thrown together and I knew, I knew that you were a treasture to be cherished and to be revered. Michelle, I -- I promise to do everything in my power to keep you safe and to make you happy. And what we have betweeen us will grow with you as my wife and I as your husband.

Michelle: Daniel, from now on, I put my life ... my fate, into your hands.

Danny: Michelle, I give you this ring as a symbol of my vow. And with all that I am and all that I have I honor you in the name of God.
Michelle: Daniel, I offer you this ring as a symbol of my vow. And with all that I am and that I have I will honor you in the name of God.

Michelle: You know, you can stop smiling now. (To photographer) We're on a break. We're on a break.
(overlapping) Danny: No, a break. Michelle: On a break.
Danny: Sorry, I just can't stop smiling.
Michelle: Hey listen, I wanna thank you for kind of saving my vows, that stuff you said about being so devoted and giving of yourself was really good. Thank you.
Danny: You're welcome. I meant every word.

Drew: The wedding was beautiful and Danny really made me believe he loved you ... a lot.

Carmen: Where's my son? Look at him, as happy as ever.
Wedding Guest: Surely God has joined these two together.

Rick: This all happened so fast, I didn't think it was real, but I saw today the one thing that I always imagined when I thought about my sister's wedding and that was her smile. Michelle, may that beautiful smile always light up your husband's life like it lit up this room today.

Drew: You know, if I didn't know better, I'd think this whole thing was real.
Michelle: What does that mean?
Drew: You! I mean, you're laughing and smiling all over the place. And that kiss (fans herself), whew!
Michelle: Drew, I had to kiss him.
Drew: Like that?
Michelle: Yeah, I guess things are getting a little real around here.
Drew: A little? I don't think it's an act anymore.

Daniel: I know it can be pretty intense meeting the family all at one time.
Michelle Not really, why -- why do you say? Why do you ...
Danny: Well, I mean, you seemed in a little, a little bit of a rush to get out of there.
Michelle: Oh, well, I hope I wasn't rude.
Danny: No, no, no, not at all. It's okay. You were perfect. (Pause) You are perfect.

Drew: I thought you were gonna bust the ceremony or something.
Jesse: To tell you the truth, I actually thought about it ....
Drew: What stopped you?
Jesse: She looked really happy. She really looked in love.

Danny: I won't do anything to rush you, okay? We've all the time in the world, this is just the beginning for us as husband and wife.

Danny: Hey, remember that -- that day when we had to go meet with Father Tomas, for our Pre-Cana, to talk about all the things we want in marriage.
Michelle: Mmhmm, what about it?
Danny: You looked so miserable. You practically had your fingers crossed and your toes.
Michelle: Seems like a long time ago.
Danny: I know, I know, you know, you thought that you hated me, I know. And then you realized that we want the same things, that our dreams are pretty much the same --
Michelle: Danny --
Danny: Let me finish, let me finish. You know, I thought, I was starting to think that we were not gonna make it -- that together there was no way we were gonna have the kind of marriage we both wanted with us at each other's throats all the time. I figured we were just doomed, you know, doomed to go through the motions for the rest of our lives. But today -- today something changed. We said our vows. I don't know, I saw something different in you. I felt it, I think you did, too. And when we kissed, you kissed me back and it was real and I thought, you know, maybe we're gonna be okay. You know, maybe things are gonna work out and maybe our dreams can really come true.

Danny: I was very wrong to think that you care about me.
Michelle: I do care about you.

Danny: You are my wife and I will protect you with my life. I promise.

Carmen: Things started happening the day you brought Michelle Bauer into our home.
Danny: Her name is Michelle Santos.

Danny (to Carmen): I trust Michelle. I trust her with my life.

Danny (to Carmen): This girl is my wife. She is the future of this family. Her children -- our children -- are the next Santos generation.

Ray: You really lucked out when you married Michelle. You found yourself a very kind and generous girl.
Danny: Well, yeah, I know.

Danny: I love to hear good things about my wife.

Danny: I am trying to figure out who you are . . . who I'm married to.
Michelle: Me! Michelle Bauer Santos, I'm your wife.

Danny: So, what am I supposed to think, huh?
Michelle: You're supposed to believe me. You're supposed to remember our wedding day and our vows to trust each other. Will you just remember the way that we looked at each other and the way that we kissed? I felt something. I know you did. Do you --
Danny: Michelle . . .
Michelle: Do you honestly think that I would just betray that feeling? That I would just throw it away? Why would I do something like that? Why would I do that?
Danny (whispering): I don't know.
Michelle: Ssh, we have something. You know that we do. And I know that I tried to deny it for a very long time, but it's there and it's this chemistry and it's not like anything I've ever felt before.

Michelle: . . . I am alive and it's because of you.
Danny: So, you're grateful.
Michelle: What I'm feeling is more than gratitude. Do you honestly think that I would do anything to hurt you?
Danny: I don't know. I don't know. I want to trust you.
Michelle: I want to trust you, too.
Danny: Well . . .
Michelle: I want to be close to you, Danny. I want us to start out like any other couple who just got married. Just think about our wedding day: the priest has just pronounced us husband and wife. You may kiss your bride.

Danny: You look nice.
Michelle: Thank you.

Drew: . . . obviously he trusts you now.
Michelle: Yeah, I guess.
Drew: He does more than trust you as a matter of fact, he's falling all over you.
Michelle: Well, yeah, he has his moments when he's protective and he's definitely really sweet sometimes . . .

Michelle: I am a prisoner in that house.
Drew: Yeah, you are, but you're starting to have feelings for your jailer.

Drew: I am worried about you, 'kay?
Michelle: You're worried about me?
Drew: Yes, because I know I'm right about what I see in you and Danny. I know it.
(overlapping) Michelle: Drew --
Drew: Listen, this is not --
Michelle: You can't --
Drew: This is not a great act, okay? I mean, I see the two of you together. I just saw the way you reacted when he kissed you, Michelle. That stupid, ridiculous smile you have on your face every time you're with him. He is getting to you. Why can't you admit that?
Michelle: Alright, alright, you're right. I mean, he definitely has his moments when I forget who he is, I forget his family and when we're alone I definitely feel guilty about what I'm doing.

Grandmother (to Danny): You are not doing this for the business or for your family. You are doing this for you because you care about her. I see the way you look at her.

Grandmother: I know all of the problems you're having [with] this marriage -- your mother's vendetta, your brother, Mick, but I have a feeling that something strong can come out of this.
Danny: Like you and grandfather?
Grandmother: Ours was an arranged marriage. Now, we hardly knew each other, but we learned to trust and we learned to love.
Danny: I just don't think that Michelle and I are going to get that chance. I mean, ours was not an arranged marriage. We were forced together by circumstance. I knew that she didn't love me, she didn't even like me, so ...
Grandmother: That has changed, I promise you.
Danny: I don't know. I don't know.
Grandmother: Then what do you think?
Danny: What --
Grandmother: How do you feel towards her?
Danny: Me? I don't . . . I have mixed feelings.
Grandmother: Don't lie to your grandmother. You are in love with this girl.
Danny: I wish I wasn't. I wish I didn't, but you're right. I'm in love with her. I love her.

Danny (to Michelle): Baby, I heard you, I heard what you said and I want to spend some more time with you, too.

Danny: Okay, Michelle, I'll be right out here, okay? If you need me ...
Michelle: Okay.
Danny: I'm right here.

Michelle: He said he loved me. I heard him tell his grandmother that he loved me and there's no way that he could have known that I was listening, so I know that he meant it. And when I heard that, I couldn't do it, do you understand now? I couldn't go through with it, I couldn't betray him like that. I'm telling you, Drew, in that moment, he was different.
Drew: Or maybe you're just falling in love with your husband?

Carmen: Daniel, how can you trust anything that girl has ever said? Or how she's looked at you? How can you believe any kind, loving words she's ever spoken?
(overlapping) Danny: Because ... because --
Carmen: -- How do you know for sure that it wasn't all a lie?
Danny: I know her.

Michelle (to Danny): Danny, I could never hurt you. You need to understand that. You need to trust your feelings about me.

Michelle (to Danny): I heard you tell her that you cared about me. Honestly, it made me feel really, really good, because it made me feel like you understand me.

Michelle (to Danny): I just wanted to tell you that I'm glad that you ended up with me last night, that nothing happened to you.

Danny: I'm gonna miss you.
Michelle: I'll miss you, too.

Danny (to Michelle): I don't want to say goodbye to you.

Danny (to Michelle): Michelle, I am your husband and I want to be there for you. I do, the same way that you'd be there for me.

Danny (to Michelle): I want to take care of you.

Rick: I want you out of this marriage!
Michelle: I don't want out!
Abby: Okay, hey, are you serious about this?
Michelle: Yes, I'm serious. I want to stay married to Danny.

Meta: You have strong feelings for Danny.
Michelle: No, no, I do not. I just, you know, I feel bad for hurting him, I feel bad.
Meta: You don't risk your life if you just feel sorry for someone.
Michelle: Okay, so maybe I have thoughts ...
Meta: What kind of thoughts?
Michelle: I don't know, thoughts, just thoughts, okay?
Meta: You do care for him?
Michelle: (after a long pause) There's something about him. I don't know if it's the way he looks at me or the way that I feel when I'm around him, I don't know what it is, but I can't explain it, I can't.
Meta: You think maybe it's love?
Michelle: I don't know. I wish to God that I did know because it's there and it won't go away.

Michelle: Danny told his grandmother that he loved me, I felt so ...
Meta: So what?
Michelle: Special. Is that crazy?
Meta: No, it's not crazy at all.
Michelle: It felt so good when I heard that and if I didn't care for him, then why would I feel that way?
Meta: You wouldn't.

Michelle: He needs to know that at first I pretended to have feelings for him, but now everything's changed. Do you think he'll believe me?
Meta: Believe the feelings are real now?
Michelle: I think they are, maybe this could really work out.

Meta: What would your life be like with him?
Michelle: We could make whatever kind of life we want.

Michelle (to Danny in her dream): When I told you that I cared about you, I wasn't lying. I wasn't.

Michelle (the dream continued) : I know we started off wrong, but we can make this right, I know we can make this work. I want you. I want you, so much.
Danny: I want you, too.

Note: There is a big chunk of quotes missing, but I will eventually get to them all.

Danny: I'm sorry, no. I can't allow this.
Michelle: You're not gonna change my mind. This is where I belong -- right beside you. No matter what.

Danny: I may have to do something drastic.
Ray: Drastic?
Danny: It's the only way I figure I'm going to be able to do it.
Ray: Do what?
Danny: Get back with the woman I love.

Michelle (to Bill about Danny): I love him. I'm in love with him, Bill.

Carmen: Why, why did you take this dangerous step, what were you thinking?
Danny: I'll do anything to be with Michelle.

Danny (to Michelle): I want to hold you close and swear before God I will always love you.

Danny (to Michelle): I wanna say my vows to you in church before God with no distractions except those beautiful brown eyes of yours.

Danny (to Michelle): I love the way you smile.

Danny: When we come home after the wedding today we're gonna be together for the rest of our lives. We're never gonna be apart again. I promise.

Danny (to Rick about Michelle): Yeah, look, you know we didn't really start out like most couples. You could say we had the odds stacked against us but since we've been separated, our feelings for each other have grown stronger. And I know that I come from a particular life, but Michelle makes me want to be a better man ... a man that she can be proud of. I'm changed forever.

Danny (to Rick about Michelle): I know that I am not exactly the guy that you would want for Michelle but I love her. I love her with all my heart and I can take care of her. She'll never want for anything. She'll have every bit of happiness she can ever imagine.

Abby (to Danny): You have a beautiful voice. (to Michelle)Doesn't he have a beautiful voice?
Michelle: Yes, he has a beautiful voice.

Rick (to Michelle about Danny): Do you love him?
Michelle: I love him. I do.

Abby (to Rick about Danny and Michelle): They are so in love.

Danny (to Michelle) : I can't wait to take you home as my wife. I can't believe that I am going to be able to wake up every morning for the rest of my life and see this beautiful face.

Danny: Don't move... (Bells ringing) Do you hear that?
Michelle: Mmhhmm.
Danny: I'll remember this moment for the rest of my life -- the way you look right now and the happiness that I feel � the sound of the bells ... how being with you makes me feel like I can do anything.
Michelle: You know, I used to imagine what my wedding day would be like. I used to dream about what it would be like to stand next to the man I want to spend the rest of my life with and nothing that I dreamed could have possibly turned out as wonderful as this.
Danny: Wow, soon we're really going to be husband and wife.

Michelle: Mr. Santos, I do believe someone might think we're in love.

Michelle (to Danny): I want to be with you, you are my husband.

Michelle: Can you think back to when Ray was going to marry us, we were talking about having him marry us for real?
Danny: Yeah.
Michelle: Okay, I wanted that so badly, because I finally knew how I felt about you. I mean finally, and for the first time in my life, the first time in my life, I knew what it was like to totally and completely adore someone, to want someone more than anyone or anything in my life. I felt connected to you in my heart, in my soul. I�m in love with you Danny. I would rather die with you than live without you.

Phillip: Okay, fine, if you don�t want to do that, what about Danny?
Rick: What about Danny?
Phillip: Well, I know he is not your favorite guy, but do you think he really loves Michelle?
Rick: Yes.

Michelle (to Danny): I came back here to live with you as husband and wife, that�s what I want. I came back here because I want to be with you in every way. I want to wake up with you, I want to make love to you, and crawl into bed with you, and take bubble baths with you, and watch TV, and fight over the remote control, and have breakfast in bed, and I want all that. I want all of it, and I want you. If there were a thousand guns lined up outside, I would want to face them with you. Please, please love me enough to know that I am not just your wife now, I�m your life.

Rick: She stays at your side because that the kind of person she is, that�s why you love her right?
Danny: Yes, I love her.

Danny (to Rick): I love her more then anything.

Michelle: Rick, don't you see. I love this man!

Michelle: I belong with Danny. We belong together.
Rick: Think about what you're saying!
Danny: She thought about what she is saying, we belong to each other.

Danny: Hello, my beautiful wife.
Michelle: Hello, my perfect husband.

Phillip: Rick, Rick, will you listen to me for just a second. I know what it is you are trying do and I wish there was a simple way to do it, but there isn�t. You understand, it doesn�t matter, you can keep her locked up for two months or two years and if she loves Danny Santos, then she is going to find her way back to him. And as we both know very well, the harder you try to keep them apart the harder they are gonna try to come together.

Michelle: I just want to be with you.
Danny: You are. You are with me. Right where you belong.

Michelle: Danny, listen to me for a minute. I want to be your wife. I want to have a life with you more than anything in this world, okay? If we keep fighting your mother, it's just going to be harder for us. I don't want that. I really, really don't.

Michelle: I feel like I just lost my family. And it's really strange because it doesn't really matter as long as I have you.
Danny: I am sorry this is happening. Rick was wrong -- you are safe with me. I would protect you with my life.
Michelle: I know. And I believe you. I love you.
Danny: I love you. I do. More than my own life.

Michelle: � when we got married the first time in front of everybody and we kissed, I was fighting it but I just realized that I was falling in love with you and I know it's gonna last forever.
Danny: I want to promise my love for you before God right here.
Michelle: Me too, me too. And you know what's so great about this, I am already yours and I always will be. We just get to say it again!
Danny: Just us.
Michelle: Just for us.
Danny: Just for us.

Danny: I love you. I love you so much.
Michelle: I love you too!

Ray (to Michelle): You bring so much happiness to my cousin.

Danny: Are you ready?
Michelle: Mhhmm, I've been ready since I realized that I can't live without you.

Ray: We are gathered here in sight of God to join this man and woman in the holy matrimony.
Michelle: Danny, you know I wasn't looking for love when I met you and somehow by the grace of God it found me and standing here with you right now, I can�t even imagine what it would be to live without it. And I know we've been tested, definitely and it only made us stronger, you know. And I really believe we could survive anything right now. I mean, you really are a dream come true, Danny.
Danny: Michelle, Michelle, when you entered my life, I was changed forever. You're so full of love and life and goodness. You are a treasure and I promise I will treasure you always. With you in, my life is richer than I had ever dreamed it would be. You make me want to be the best man that I can be. The man you can be proud to call your husband. I want to make all your dreams come true and I will. And as God is my witness I vow to protect you, to honor you and to love you forever. You are my life.
