[spoiler]Today's quote:
Ep #170 (1967) - Dr. Guthrie - 'We MUST keep this circle unbroken at all times.'
From "#0170/0171: Robservations 09/19/01: Laura, Saboteur, Dream-Weaver"
If you'll all sit at the table, I'll turn out the light, says Guthrie. He closes the double doors and turns out all the lights, then turns on the recorder. How very restful, remarks Roger. Make yourselves as comfortable as possible, advises Guthrie. He sits across from Roger. Vicki and Carolyn face each other. Our object here tonight, says Peter, is to summon the ghost of Josette Collins--now we're all reasonably certain that she's been trying to communicate with us (Vicki looks nervous)--now we feel if we can create the proper atmosphere and right state of mind, that she will come into this room and speak to us--she might either appear to one of us or use one of us as a medium, to speak through. Well I certainly hope she uses you, doctor, it will be something to remember, hearing her voice coming out of your mouth. (LOL!) Mr. Collins, says Peter sternly, if you want to make a joke of this, I'd be very grateful if you'd leave the room now. I'm sorry, says Roger, please proceed. Thank you, says Peter--now, let's place our hands flat on the table. (We get an overhead view.) Spread your fingers and make a circle of the fingers by touching the fingers of those next to you. We must keep this circle unbroken at all times...that's good--now the electricity of thought has been set in motion so that if will flow through us, making our minds as one--let us begin to concentrate--we must repeat over and over in our minds, "Josette Collins...Josette Collins...Josette Collins..." Thunder rolls. Everyone concentrates.

True, we're not seeing Dr. Guthrie's face for this quote and that's been a reason in the past to skip a quote. But the moment depicted in the screen cap and the quote itself are so iconic to DS that Midnite felt it was too cool to pass up, and who among us can argue against that?! After all, the scene and the quote are both milestones in DS history: the first seance ever on the show and the first time ever that a character says the seance circle must remain unbroken.
