"Why do you think the Devil wants to touch you?" All of this from Barnabas had potential to be a very smart and classic scene, but I think the lines might have become slightly jumbled, either strange inflections or ad-libbed words. It could have been so much, this business of connecting Abigail's obsessive vigilante piety to her sexual repression.
Trask: "Curiosity is the Devil's money!" What? Alright, that means we're picking the Devil's pocket every time we ask a question, so... that's good...!
Barnabas bares his fangs at Abigail, but it's unclear what he intends to do with them. He seems to be showing off what he is, and if she'd said "Oh! You're a vampire!" and he didn't intend feeding, he'd have had an awkward moment where he stopped showing his fangs, and said "Yes". Sort of a muffled thud moment. It's good for Barnabas that the dilemma of feeding vs. strangling was solved by Abigail picking that moment to have a heart attack.
