[spoiler]Thursday's quote:
Ep #629 (1968) - Diabolos - 'There is something more important that MUST be done before she can be accepted here-- she MUST be sacrificed on the Black Altar.'
From "Robservations 9/3/02 - Angelique Sends Nicholas to Hell - #628/629"
I don't want to return here, says Nicholas. No one ever does, intones the Master. If I give you what you want, I deserve more, insists Nicholas--to remain on earth, without my powers. How will you survive? wonders Diabolos. Perhaps I wouldn't, says Nicholas quietly--it's because I want Maggie with me, admits Nicholas--I love her very much. The Master pronounces Nicholas hopelessly lost--no wonder he made such a mess of things--when the experiment is over, you must return to hell. I won't be allowed to be with her? Asks Nicholas. I didn't say that, says the Master--your story has touched me--I mean that you can be with her. Nicholas is excited. Then the Master drops the other shoe, "But only here." "But that would mean she would have to die," protests Nicholas. Yes, says the Master--arrange it--there is something else that must be done before she can be accepted here--she must be sacrificed on the black altar. No, protests Nicholas.
The Robservations references the quote perfectly...
And this is the fifth quote from this ep. The first (Diabolos - 'That is the only way you and Maggie Evans can be together, Nicholas. The Black Mass MUST be performed') was back on September 29th of 2020, the second (Nicholas - 'I implore you-- if I MUST account for something, let me account for it, but do not harm this woman. She is not responsible for anything that I may have done') was back on October 2nd of 2021, the third (Maggie - 'I don't understand it. I MUST of fainted') was back on February 21st of 2022, and the fourth (Nicholas - 'There's something vitally important that I MUST speak to you about') was back on June 6th of 2022.
And this ep now shares the
of a fifth quote with Eps #42, #133, #208, #211, #300, #377, #384, #449, #466, #609, #646, #678, #709, #727, #977, #993, #1057 & #1111. However, recall that there's an even bigger
because Eps #449, #727 & #993 have six quotes...
