Perhaps you could put two captures in your pattern: the first one 
anchored at the beginning of the string, with 0 or 1 occurrences (?) of 
the non-escaped quote, then '.-' and the second one like you posted.
Then you could combine the two captures with 'or', so that if the first 
one fails you get the second one.

Implementation details are left as an exercise to the reader. I'm lazy :-)
