[spoiler]Today's quote:
Ep #197 (1967) - Roger - 'Well, it MUST be very personal and very important to have such a special padlock on it.'
From "#0196/0197: Robervations 10/09/01: Blackmailed by a Blackguard"
Liz holds a key in her hand, on a chain, and she hears a door slam and begins putting roses in a vase. Roger bursts in and tells her he's been searching the house from turrets to foundations, looking for paintings--has she seen them? What paintings, she asks. About a dozen, he says, some in frames, some not. Family portraits? She asked, most of them are hanging. No, says Roger, he picked them up about 10 years ago and not important, but he needs to have them--has she seen them? Liz doesn't remember them. I need them for personal reasons, says Roger, and he's searched everywhere except the locked room in the basement. (uh oh!) They wouldn't be there, she says, but Roger wants to check anyway--does she have the key? She doesn't know where it is. What do you mean? he asks. Angrily, she says, "I'm telling you, I don't know!" Take it easy, he says, staring at her strangely. The paintings aren't in there, she says, she knows. Roger wants to see for himself. You can't, insists Liz. Furious, Roger wants to know why she keeps telling him that--what's in that room? Some personal belongings, says Liz, and she doesn't want anyone poking around! It must be very personal and important, since it had a special padlock on it

I just love today's quote - another classic Liz/Roger scene! Though the most amusing exchange in this ep might be after Roger asks Jason why he was so closely examining the lock on the basement door and Jason claims it was because he used to collect old padlocks, Roger replies that Jason looked like he wanted to add the padlock to his collection, but then Jason claims that he's switched to collecting stamps, though he still can't resist looking at an old padlock. The way Dennis Patrick and Louis Edmonds play it is priceless!
