[spoiler]Monday's quote:
Ep #882 (1897) - Angelique - 'It MUST be quite wonderful to be loved the way you love Amanda Harris.'
From "Robservations 4/8/03 - #882/883 - Walking the Floor With Q; Fire!"
Angelique closes the double doors and says, Quentin, when Barnabas came to ask my help, I had to decide whether or not I would give it--I've decided to do help you get to New York--on one condition--that you take me with you. Angelique...he says. Is the idea so abhorrent to you? she asks. I was willing to marry you and live here at Collinwood--"What choice did I have, after you threatened to kill Amanda?" he asks, eyes half closed. Amanda! she rants, there's a new life waiting for you in New York, a new life with HER, that's what you keep thinking, her, not me! You answered your own questions, says Q--her, not you. She sits beside him and presses her hand to his face. "Look at me," she says--there's so much I can do for you, if you'll only let me--at least let me try to make you happy--I can, I promise you I can--please take me to New York with you. I can't, he says, and even if I told you I'd promise not to look for Amanda, I couldn't keep that promise--every night I went to bed, I'd be thinking tomorrow might be the day I'd find her. Then you aren't willing to pay my price for helping you? she asks. I can't, he says, yawning. I see, she says softly, very disappointed. My eyes are burning, he says, I swear I'd do anything just to get some sleep, close them for a while. But you can't, she says, grabbing his arm. "It must be quite wonderful to be loved the way you love Amanda Harris," says Ang wistfully. It only happens once in a lifetime, he says (and should have been Beth!).With ordinary people, yes, says Ang, teary.

The Robservations references the quote perfectly...
And, of course, I chose this quote because of how all Quentin fans are so fully supportive of and love Quentin's relationship with Amanda. Right? ...
And this is the second quote from this ep. The first (Charansy - 'The show MUST go on--that's the one and only rule there is now') was back on August 6th.
