Current Talk '24 I / Re: Everyone In Collinsport's Favorite Word Slideshow
« on: October 17, 2021, 06:36:17 PM »
If you don't want to know the circumstances surrounding Friday's entry in this slideshow, then don't read any further...
[spoiler]Friday's quote:
Ep #1213 (1841PT) - Bramwell - 'I guess I made the mistake in thinking you as the young girl I knew when I went away. Well, a great deal MUST have happened to you, you MUST tell me about yourself-- I, I don't think I even know you.'
From "#1212/1213: Robservations 12/17/03: Gabriel Escapes"
The Robservations drops a few words - particularly the all-important "must", adds another, but basically references the quote well...

I guess I made the mistake of thinking of you as the young girl I knew when I went away, says Bramwell--a great deal must have happened to you, tell me about yourself--I don't think I even know you. Do you really want to know? she asks eagerly. Yes, very much, he says. I don't think anything terribly interesting happened, she says--I just grew up, that's all--it's really funny, I always thought it would be different, but it's not different at all. You mean being an adult? he asks. Yes, she says. Why should it be different? he asks. I don't know, she says, I thought it would bring some freedoms that I didn't have as a child--I guess if I were a man, it would have, I don't know--but as a woman, well, I'm still living in Collinsport, as restrained as always, yet wanting so much to go beyond it. It's no better out there, I've been there, he says, but if you're so sure of it, go--you must have a sweetheart--marry him and go together. You make it sound simple, says Daphne, but I don't have a sweetheart, so that's out. I find that difficult to believe, remarks Bramwell. It shouldn't be, says Daphne--the young men want to leave Collinsport, too, and so they do, they go off and find jobs or go to school, some of them come back--but with wives--I did go out for a while with Gerard Stiles. Who? asks Bramwell. Don't you remember him? she asks. I guess not, says Bramwell.[/spoiler]
