[spoiler]Tuesday's quote:
Ep #732 (1897) - Laura - 'Oh Quentin, the pressures MUST be very great on your brain.'
From "Robservations 11/19/02 - #732-733 - Ang & Barn's Bargain; Three For Worthington Hall"
Quentin continues to strangle Laura, then abruptly releases her when he's filled with pain, his body enveloped in light. He accuses her of doing something to him, but she says she's not--anger, she says, heats the blood and puts strain on the heart. He clutches his stomach, accusing her of doing something terrible to him. She denies it, and fears coming moving closer to him in case he tries to kill her again. "You're dead already," he moans, writhing in agony. Laura half-humorously suggests the pressures on his brain must be very great. Help me! he beg. Repeat that, Laura asks. I promise to stop you, he vows, whatever you're doing to me. Laura maintains, I'm doing nothing except enjoying your reaping the rewards of a rich and well spent life. When he begs for her help, she laughs. How does it feel to beg? she demands--to suffer? I don't want to die, he says, walking around the room in a pain-filled shuffle. Do you think I wanted to die in Alexandria? she asks shrilly, when the fire priests dragged me, screaming, to the sacrificial altar?-- "Quentin!" I cried, Laura reminds him, "Help me, Quentin!" She notes that he seems to be unconscious, and callously checks to make sure he can still hear her. He can, so she continues--I remembers the priest dragging me to the flames, asking why I was crying to Quentin for help--when he's the one who betrayed me? I had to, groans Quentin, or they would have killed me. I finally figured that out, she says bitterly, and now the death you evaded then has caught up with you, right here at Collinwood!She laughs--well, goodbye, she says, enjoy your rendezvous. He tries to grab her before she exits. Laura airily assures him, "Dying is not so bad, Quentin, once you get used to the idea!" She leaves him alone. Quentin sinks to the floor, unconscious.

The Robservations rearranges the words but still references the quote quite well...
Another one of my favorite Laura quotes. In fact, it's my favorite Laura scene, particularly where she callously checks to make sure Quentin can still hear her. Priceless!! Diana Millay's whole performance is wonderful...
