[spoiler]Today's quote:
Ep #466 (1968) - Julia - 'I MUST have an ambulance immediately.'
From "#0465/0466: Robservations 05/01/02: Elopement, Interrupted; Mad Doc"
Julia, on the phone in Barnabas' room, is ordering an ambulance. Lang comes in. I knows who you are, he says, we know each other. I have been treating Barnabas, she says, who is in no condition to stay here. You can't move him, insists Lang, but Julia says only she completely understands his case. What is your diagnosis? asks Lang, and she says it's a rare blood disorder. It IS rare, he agrees, and difficult to control. What name has she give to this rare disease, he asks, but she evades the question. She starts taking Barn's clothing from the closet. Lang knows what it is--and first asks to see Julia's neck--he saw strange marks on Vicki and wonders if Julia also has them. (she wishes, sigh!) She is again evasive, demanding the necessary clearance to take Barnabas out. It's very nearly dawn, he observes shrewdly.I have a lot to do, she says nervously, she isn't sure what the transfusion given in the hospital will do to him. Lang points out Barn had almost no blood, no pulse, no heartbeat--I envy you such an unusually interesting case, he says, but she insists they're wasting time. Lang has an interest in bizarre medicine and wants to discuss Barnabas, a member of the living dead, now. Your words, not mine, says Julia.

I remember originally watching this ep like it was yesterday - it was just one exciting, on the edge of your seat scene after another. And thankfully RD hadn't yet become as annoying as he would as Jeff Clark, so the fact that he's in the ep didn't diminish it one iota. In fact, wondering if he was or wasn't Peter added to the excitement.
And today's quote marks the first time a second "MUST" quote has been taken from an episode. The first (Dr. Lang - 'Mr. Collins, you and I MUST talk.') was back on May 26th. But most certainly this is but the first example of that happening. When it comes to some eps, it seems like every other word out of the characters' mouths is "must"!!
Starting tomorrow the slideshow will begin the previously announced "30 Days Of To Tell Or Not To Tell" sub-theme. I've been having a lot of fun picking out quotes for it...
