Quotes Of The Week: Dexter, Love Island USA, The Buccaneers, Ballard And More

Love Island USA's Amaya Papaya may be winning over America with her words of wisdom, but she isn't the only TV character who's been delivering noteworthy lines.

In our latest Quotes of the Week column below — which rounds up the best sound bites of the past seven days — you'll find a dozen shows represented, including The Buccaneers, The Bold and the Beautiful, The Snake and The Chi.
