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 #113 (1966) - Burke - 'Drunk or sober, I would never run away from anything. You MUST believe that, Mrs. Johnson.'
From "#0113/0114: Robservations 08/08/01: Befriending a Murderer"
The Robservations references the quote perfectly with the exception of addressing the second part to Mrs. Johnson. And I don't think Mitch Ryan mixed up his lines - Clarice Blackburn did have to feed him a bit when he suddenly went up, but It looked to me that what he said was what he was supposed to say and how he was supposed to say it...

In his room at the Inn, Burke looks through some legal paperwork, feet on the coffee table. Sarah Johnson pays him a visit, telling him she has to talk to him. I have some news that couldn't wait, she reports--they found out who's been trying to kill Vicki Winters. Roger Collins? he guesses hopefully. No, she says, and what's more, Mr. Collins did not kill Mr. Malloy. What are you talking about, he's got to be the one, insists Burke. No he isn't, says Sarah, you were wrong and I was wrong--the man who did the actual killing was Matthew Morgan.I don't believe it, says Burke--what possible reason could he have? He thought that Mr. Malloy was hounding Mrs. Stoddard, and that was reason enough for him, she explains--he had to protect the sacred name of Collins. I suppose that's still what he's doing, says Burke--did he make an actual confession? Not to the sheriff, he didn't says Sarah, but he did to Miss Winters and he as much as did to Mrs. Stoddard. Where is he now? asks Burke. He could be in Canada now, she says--he turned and ran as soon as Mrs. Stoddard confronted him. I can't believe it, says Burke, I was so positive it was Roger, as positive as I am that he was guilty of that manslaughter charge they tried to hang on me. Could you have been wrong about that? she asks. No, I was not driving that car, insists Burke. They said at the time you were drunk, she reminds him. Yeah, sure I was drunk, he says, and everything about that night is hazy, but...well... You didn't run away from something you knew you'd done, she says. Drunk or sober, I would never run away from anything, and you must believe that, says Burke. (I think Mitchell mixed up lines here.) I know, she says, it's Roger Collins, he'd run away from anything, from every one of his responsibilities--he'd hide behind his sister's skirts.[/spoiler]
