[spoiler]Today's quote:
Ep #676 (1969) - Chris - 'There MUST be more reason than that.'
From "Robservations 10/4/02 - #676/677"
They enter the mausoleum. You promised to take me someplace I couldn't get out of, Chris reminds him. "I did" Barnabas assures him. Looking around, Chris advises, kill me tonight--the gate won't hold me after the transformation. But this door will, says Barnabas, opening the secret panel, showing Chris the room with the coffin.
Barnabas tells him this room was originally a storage room for ammunition during the Revolutionary War. When Chris asks how he knows about it, Barnabas replies, "I am a Collins, I know a great deal about my family history," as though that's more than enough explanation. (I loved the grand way he said it, too.) Chris points to the coffin--it must have had other uses after the war, he observes. "Yes," says Barnabas, but doesn't elaborate. The coffin is empty, says Barnabas, but I don't know where the body is. Do you know and just don't want to tell me? asks Chris (sharp guy). Barnabas suavely changes the subject to the reason they are here. Why are we here? asks Chris. To prevent you from doing further violence this night, replies Barn. Why are you helping me? Chris asks gently. Barnabas softly responds, "Because I want to help you." Chris feels there must be more of a reason why he's willing to take the risk. Because I know you aren't responsible for what you do after the transformation, Barn answers.
