Louis Edmonds' characters often got some of the best dialogue on DS - and the February 14th episodes were no exception. Two bits that I absolutely loved today:
Ep #167 - when Carolyn tells Roger that a seance might help Liz:
ROGER
(in outraged disbelief)
Help your mother?! Why not dance a voodoo dance around a hospital table, chanting semi-guttural noises?!
And Ep #428 - when Nathan claims to really be in love with Millicent:
JOSHUA
(aghast)
Forbes, you are too much of a swine to love anybody but yourself!
I was laughing hysterically after both of those.
And on a side note, we've discussed this before, but it's interesting how often pig/swine references come up on DS as character putdowns. Of course, there's my favorite
- but in addition to Joshua's remark above, off the top of my head I recall that in Ep #790 Magda calls Gregory Trask a swine, in Ep #820 King Johnny calls Magda swine, in Ep #841 Petofi calls the gypsies swine, in Ep #1169 Gabriel calls Gerard a loathsome pig, and in Ep #1190 Gabriel likens being married to Edith to being married to a pig. Someone at DS most defintely loved to use pig/swine expressions.
