If you don't want to know the circumstances surrounding Saturday's entry in this slideshow, then don't read any further...
[spoiler]Saturday's quote:
Ep #1149 (1840) - Flora - 'Oh Lamar, you MUST be mistaken about Quentin. The very idea of Quentin bewitching anybody is almost amusing!'
From "#1148/1149: Robservations 10/30/03: Rescue; A Sibling Horrorshow"
Because "you" was changed to "he," the Robservations doesn't reference the quote directly, but it does reference it almost perfectly...
And I have to say I love Joan Bennett's Flora. Some think she's too flighty, but I love how Joan got to play a character that was so different from all her others. And because she often played Flora with such delight, I suspect Joan also enjoyed the change. The way Joan delivered this quote (as seen here in -
Ep #1149 (1840) - Flora - 'Oh Lamar, you MUST be
mistaken about Quentin. The very idea of Quentin
bewitching anybody is almost amusing!'
- this screen capture) is a perfect example of what I'm saying...

An insidious evil has crept its way inside that house, says Trask, I'm not at liberty to divulge its nature. If you're not at liberty to divulge it, asks Randall, annoyed, why mention it at all? Randall! Chastises Flora. It's quite all right, says Trask, I'm quite aware of Randall's unbelieving, but the Almighty will deal with his blindness. The Almighty will have his hands full dealing with yours! Says Randall angrily. Will one of you please tell me what you're talking about? asks Flora. Mr. Trask has somehow convinced himself Collinwood is filled with witches and evil spirits, says Randall. You are suffering from delusions if you think Quentin Collins is what he seems, says Trask, he is not. What has Quentin got to do with it? asks Flora. Trask tells her Quentin is in league with the devil, practicing witchcraft in that house. Randall informs Trask he's had enough of his inflammatory nonsense. Inflammatory, is it? asks Trask, I find that a curious charge, coming from you, so soon after your dear sister's untimely death. Let my sister rest in peace, says Randall. You seem content to merely accept her death, says Trask, but I am not--I believe she was murdered by an act of sorcery and intend to prove it. Gentlemen, please stop shouting! Trills Flora--oh, Lamar, he must be mistaken about Quentin--the very idea of Quentin bewitching anybody is almost amusing! I do not find it amusing, says Trask--you do not believe me now, but you will soon--I have confidence in your judgment and faith--I'm sorry I can't say the same for you, Randall--go on doubting me, if you will--but I want you--those who doubt the word of truth are only a shade less guilty than those who defy it--good night. He leaves.[/spoiler]
