[spoiler]Thursday's quote:
Ep #509 (1968[-1967]) - Tony - 'You know it MUST be old. Otherwise how would it have gotten under the floor?'
From "Robservations 6/6/02 - #509/510 - Adam's New Friend/Taken to Trask"
Stokes offers him a sherry, and Tony accepts. Stokes says the cross is probably not authentic and he'll need it for a few days to test it. Tony agrees. It's used for protection against witches, says Stokes. Stokes pours the sherry, and Tony surreptitiously takes out the ring containing the poison. Stokes says he's going to get some cheese, which helps him sleep, and excuses himself to get it. Tony says he'd like some, too, and after Stokes leaves the room, empties the powder in the ring into Stokes' glass. When Stokes returns, he finds Tony examining the cross, saying he's fascinated by it--his wife thinks it's real gold. Tony's back is to the professor while he's talking to him, and Stokes urges him to come drink his sherry."To your antique gold Coptic cross," toasts Stokes, "may it turn out to be antique and gold for your wife's sake." They drink, Tony draining his glass in one gulp. While Stokes is prattling on about the cheese, Tony grabs his throat and begins to convulse. "Professor!" cries Tony, before falling to the floor, unconscious.
Another Robservations that doesn't reference the quote at all. However, it comes up after Stokes returns with the cheese and Tony mentions how fascinated he is by the cross and before Stokes says he will give a great deal of thought to Tony's question (another line the Robservations doesn't reference) and Tony says his wife thinks it's real gold...
It's great that Midnite was able to come across another Tony quote - that gives him three now. An interesting thing is that the same line is repeated in the Teaser of Ep #510, but in the restaged version Tony isn't on screen when he delivers it, so that's why we had to go with getting the screen capture from Ep #509 even though it's a kinescope.
And best of all it's the infamous cheese episode/scene!!
