If you don't want to know the circumstances surrounding today's entry in this slideshow, then don't read any further...
[spoiler]Today's quote:
DS 2004 Pilot (-1968: Ep #478) - Barnabas - 'You MUST be my cousin Elizabeth.'
From the DS 2004 Pilot script:
INT. GREAT HALL - COLLINWOOD - NIGHT
He enters, transfixed, STARING toward the wall over the great fireplace. There, a magnificent portrait of
BARNABAS COLLINS,
the name etched on a gold nameplate dated 1788, hangs half- lit by the flickering firelight.
ELIZABETH (0.S.) I don't believe it.
VAMPIRE My apologies for the hour, but I couldn't resist any longer.
The Vampire turns as Roger and Elizabeth comes down the stairs, gaping at their visitor. He is, in fact, a DEAD RINGER for the man in the portrait.
BARNABAS (taking Elizabeth's hand) I'm Barnabas Collins.
ELIZABETH Barnabas? You even have his name?
BARNABAS A tragic lack of imagination on the part of my parents. (kissing her hand) You must be my cousin Elizabeth.
While Elizabeth is taken with Barnabas, Roger is suspicious.
BARNABAS (CONT'D) (to Roger) And you... are staring.

Dark Shadows - M. Verheiden - 1/19/04 33.
ROGER Roger Collins. You're in from...?
BARNABAS England. I tried to get a message through, but I understand there's been a family emergency.
ELIZABETH - My daughter, Carolyn. She was... injured. Bitten by some sort of animal.
Barnabas tightens with surprise and regret. He had no idea Carolyn was a member of the Collins family.

And the script references what Barnabas actually says in the pilot perfectly. Other things are a bit different, including the setting because the scene actually takes pace in the Drawing Room, and Barnabas doesn't take Elizabeth's hand until just before he delivered the quote and he kisses her hand after he delivers it...
And for those who may be interested in such things, I recently noticed that the version of the pilot currently on YouTube has been upgraded from 514X360 to 686X480.
And Ep #478 now joins Eps #1, #124, #198 and #659 as ones without any "must" lines - one more left to come for this month.
