If you don't want to know the circumstances surrounding yesterday's entry in this slideshow, then don't read any further...




[spoiler]Yesterday's quote:
Ep #588 (1968) - Nicholas - 'The mate has already been created but, in order for the mate to exist, she MUST be infused with a life force. The life force will be yours.'

From  "Robservations 8/2/02 - #588/589 - Carolyn, Enslaved; Maggie Remembers All"

You are alone, observes Nicholas, smiling evilly, and invites himself for a drink. She seems thrilled for the company, she hates being alone. He says she should never be left alone. She points out the brandy and he closes the double doors. She asks why, and he says he wants to talk privately with her. "Carolyn, come here," he orders--"Look at me." She says she doesn't understand. "You cannot move," he tells her. "Try to move your hand." She can't! She asks what he 's doing to her. "You cannot speak," he says. "You will neither move nor speak until you understand exactly what you are to do.

You will be my slave. You will do exactly as I tell you to do. You will be completely rational, but you will be my slave. Do you understand?" Carolyn nods. He allows her to speak, and she asks what he wants her to do. Tell Adam you will participate in an experiment that will provide a mate for Adam. "A mate?" asks Carolyn. The mate has already been created, he tells her, but the mate needs to be infused with a life force--and the life force will be yours. She doesn't understand, but he says that isn't necessary--she will participate in the experiment, to help Adam. He tells her not to be frightened, she won't he harmed or in danger. He orders her to tell him she isn't afraid, and she repeats the words, smiling.

The Robservations references the quote without using "must" - shameful!!

And you've no doubt noticed that it isn't Nicholas who appears in the screen capture. That's because Nicholas delivers the quote while he's off screen and it's Carolyn who's on screen, which is why today's screen capture features Carolyn -


- rather than Nicholas. And as I've explained before, normally we would just skip a quote if the character saying it isn't on screen. However, in this instance Nicholas' "must" line is the only one in the ep that takes place in the actual 1968 story - there are other "must" lines, but they all take place during a flashback to 1967.

You'll also note that once again a screen capture has red bars on the left and right sides of it. And that's because it's something that we're using to further indicate that a character other than the character delivering the quote is on screen.

"I'm sorry Mrs. Johnson but Barry Goldwater not seeking the presidential nomination is no reason to take the day off."
