[spoiler]Wednesday's quote:
Ep #587 (1968) - Adam - 'You MUST tell me you are not going to use violence.'
From "Robservations 8/1/02 - #586/587 - Things Come to a Head"
an approaching Adam, who tells him Barn is upset about using Carolyn, but didn't talk him out of it. Barnabas told Adam it would be dangerous, which Nicholas said he would do. He made Adam believe it, but Nick insists that was just a ploy to scare him. No, says Adam, he wants him to wait until he finds Maggie. NO, says Nick, Maggie won't be used--he wants Adam to love this woman, which will only happen if she's like Carolyn. Yet I am not like Barnabas, states Adam. Nicholas says he'll see Carolyn in the mate, just as Adam and Barnabas share certain traits. Adam doesn't feel Barnabas believes they share any characteristics, but Nicholas insists that's only because Barnabas won't admit it. Nicholas asks Adam if he saw Willie, and Adam replies no. Adam wants Nick to tell him how he's going to get Carolyn to cooperate, and, grabbing his arm, insists he not use violence on Carolyn. Of course not, says Nicholas. Adam wants Carolyn to WANT to be part of the experiment, and Nicholas says he understands that. She must want to do it, says Adam, for HIM, and Nick promises that will happen.

The Robservations references the quote well...
And how amazing is it that Adam can threaten all the violence he wants to get what he wants but he's so concerned that Nicholas not use violence on Carolyn. It's a totally different situation when Carolyn is in the mix. Perhaps he should have remembered that and tried to see things from others points of view. But, well, apparently Adam was incapable of that, mostly thanks to Nicholas' influence...
And this is the second quote from this ep. The first (Maggie - 'Oh, Willie, you MUST be crazy') was back on May 15th of 2021.
