If you don't want to know the circumstances surrounding today's entry in this slideshow, then don't read any further...
[spoiler]Today's quote:
Ep #1204 (1841PT[-1967: Ep #210]) - Possessed Melanie - 'But it MUST go on. Don't they realize that? The lottery MUST happen again. ::laughs::'
From "#1203/1204: Robservations 12/11/03: Naive Fiancee"
The Robservations references the quote nearly perfectly...
And this is the third quote from this ep. The first (Possessed Melanie - 'They don't pay any attention to you, do they?--you TELL them what they MUST do, and then you die!') was back on June 1st of 2020, and the second (Melanie - 'But after the funeral, you MUST set her free.') was back on April 15th.
Plus, I know I've said this before, but I LOVE this scene. This is what I wrote about it back in June of 2020:
And just a reminder, we've seen notations like "(1841PT[-1967])" before and know it means that an 1841PT quote has been substituted for what should have been a 1967 quote. But this time around "(1841PT[-1967: Ep #210])" means all that plus that the quote should have come from 1967's Ep #210 but that ep doesn't have any "must" lines to quote from. So, with that in mind, it means that Ep #210 now joins Eps #1, #5, #124, #136, #198, #478, #659 and #904 as ones without any "must" lines. More to come before too long...

Melanie comes in, laughing uproariously. Why aren't you ready for the funeral? Flora asks her daughter and she and Quentin stare at Melanie, shocked. Melanie goes over to the coffin, puts her hands on it and says, giggling, "They don't pay any attention to you, do they?--you tell them what they must do, and then you die!--but they don't have that lottery, oh, no, they're much too smart for that!" Melanie, please! begs Flora. Melanie continues, "It must go on, don't they realize that, the lottery must happen again!"She laughs, chillingly.

No one played possessed better than Nancy Barrett, and the writers often imbued humor into those types of scenes for her. Perhaps no other scene is a better example of that than this one from Ep #1204. And it's quite obvious that NB had a field day playing it! And by contrast, the way Joan Bennett and David Selby played Flora and Quentin's horror at her behavior only makes what NB did as Possessed Melanie all the better...
