Current Talk '24 I / Re: Everyone In Collinsport's Favorite Word Slideshow

If you don't want to know the circumstances surrounding Tuesday's entry in this slideshow, then don't read any further...
[spoiler]Tuesday's quote:
Ep #1195 (1841PT[-1967]) - Quentin - 'Now, I MUST admit I've never gotten along particularly well with my family, but it's the only family that I've got.'
From "#1195/1196: Robservations 12/05/03: Angelique, Powerless?; Executioner's Ax"
The Robservations references the quote perfectly...
And this is the second quote from this ep. The first, which also happens to be from this 1841PT scene (Quentin - 'You've, uh, grown up the past 5 years, and I MUST say I like what I see') was back on November 12th.
And to explain what "(1841PT[-1967])" means, obviously the "1841PT" part means that it's a quote from the 1841PT storyline, but the "-1967" part means that what really should have been featured is a quote from 1967's Blackmailing Liz-Introducing Barnabas-Kidnapping Maggie-Introducing Julia storyline. Midnite and I have have been mostly working off of a list I made back in 2020 shortly before this slideshow began. I'd searched the Robservations summaries and compiled a list of over 3500 "must" quotes from the various storylines. Though even with that large amount, some of the storylines had fewer quotes on the list than others, and the Blackmailing Liz-Introducing Barnabas-Kidnapping Maggie-Introducing Julia storyline is one of those. Midnite and I have pretty much exhausted all the quotes that were on the list and lately we've been hunting for new ones by scanning the actual eps. I suspect there are still quite a few to be found but who knows how many more we're going to find. So, rather than run out of quotes for that storyline, we're going to space them out so that quotes from that storyline will hopefully still appear over the entire fourth year of the slideshow. There are other storylines, like 1841PT, where we're never going to use all the possible "must" quotes because there are so many of them, so rather than use all the intended quotes for the Blackmailing Liz-Introducing Barnabas-Kidnapping Maggie-Introducing Julia storyline, only two (or even one if we're having a really hard time finding something) might show up in any given future month's slideshow, and to fill in for the intended ones not to appear, we'll substitute something from a storyline like 1841PT that still has a lot of potential quotes on the list. And you'll always know when a substitution has taken place because there will be some sort of notation like "(1841PT[-1967])" in the quote...

I don't believe a word of it! declares Catherine. I think you should at least find out what's going on in this house before you decide to come and live here, says Daphne. I don't intend to let anything upset my marriage plans, says Catherine--and I certainly won't go asking the family embarrassing questions about a locked room!Dashing, handsome PT Quentin joins the ladies, curtly informing Catherine, I think you just made a wise decision. How long have you been standing there? asks Catherine. Long enough to be disturbed by what I heard, he says. I'm sorry, says Catherine. You should be, says Quentin--Catherine, Morgan wants to see you downstairs--something about wedding arrangements, I believe. Catherine excuses herself and leaves the room. I want to go with my sister, says Daphne. Stay right here, insists Quentin. It's all right, I'm not going to hurt her, Quentin assures Catherine. I've been gone for seven years, Daphne, says Quentin--do you know why? Yes, she says, you were convicted of manslaughter and have been in prison. That's right, he says--I got into a fight with a man and killed him--because he was spreading stories about my family--the same kind of stories Ezra Robinson is telling you--he was trying to make my family look like a pack of fools--I must admit I've never gotten along particularly well with my family, but it's the only family that I've got--and I don't like to hear stories or so-called legends about that--and I don't like to hear them slandered--do I make myself absolutely clear to you? You do, she assures him--I'm sorry for what happened. All right, he says, smiling, it's all forgotten[/spoiler]
