Favorite Tongue-tied Lines Of Dialogue

[BuzzH]

My favorite flub has to be when, in 1897, Barnabas is going to try and cure Quentin of being a zombie (I think this is when this flub happened, been a while since I've seen the scene) and Barnabas says, "I'm going to see if Magda has the Mir and the....uh...oh the things that she needs!"  Poor Jon! 

Watch KLS in this scene.  When JF gets tongue-tied, she starts to laugh and puts her hand up to her mouth to hide it.

Okay, I went and watched this scene and not only is KLS not laughing, she's not even putting her hand to her mouth.  I watched it 3 times and never took my eyes off her.  Are you sure it was this particular scene and not another?

Just watched it to make sure.

It's the scene in which Barnabas is talking to Rachel, Carl, and Judith.  KLS is a bit obscured by Joan Bennett so it's hard to see, but she definitely puts her left hand up to her mouth after pursing her lips together and sort of tensing up, as if she's suppressing a laugh.  The moment passes more quickly than I remember, and the picture quality isn't the clearest, but to me it looks as if KLS starts to laugh and then pulls it together before really losing it.

"My Cousin, Uncle Jeremiah"

There is one scene from 1897 that is a good one...Angelique has failed to get the Amulet from Aristede,so Barny tries his luck....Aristede hears rustling in the bushes and B appears, i think they exchange "Who are yous"??  then Barnabas out of the blue comes up with "I would gladly go, but you will not let me" or something to that affect...  Watch Aristedes face go directly for the cue cards, i am sure he is thinking  "where the heck did he come up with that line"??

In episode 413, Sarah is talking to Naiomi:

Sara:  "You see, Jereh...Joshua...(sigh)...Josette's been so sad for such a long time..."

All those darned people to keep track of.

This isn't really a flubbed line of dialogue, but I love Mrs. Johnson's eyelids fluttering uncontrollably in her big "death" scene in 1995!

i caught a good one last night.

when liz and carolyn are taking sactuary at the rumson house on little winiward island jeb phones liz with some instructions.he's supposed to tell liz to pretend that she's on the phone with mrs.johnson but instead tells her something like "under no circumstances are you to tell anyone mrs.johson called".liz however follows up with the intended dialouge and proceeds to pretend that it's mrs.johnson on the other end of the line.

My favorite has to be Roger's "incestors" flub--especially given the puritanical bent of tv at the time!

Since I recently watched the first six DVD's I just heard this line, even my stoic hubby cracked up....

The incenstors/ancestors line was hilarious!

There's a line from Joe during the Laura storyline from 1967: "Tell Mr. Guthrie I'm, I'm, I'm I'm on my way" that always makes me laugh! I mean I Joel Crothers hardly flubbed his lines but that one time he did I was cracking up.
