Go back and take a look at 1897. Edward is belittleing(sp) Quentin, well, he thinks he is, anyway, Edward mentions Opium as he reads off Quentin memu of 'things you should not do'
Can you imagine what Edward's list of no-no for Quentin would look like?
1) No opium
2) No running off to Egypt with my wife
3) No hanky-panky with the hired help
4) No summoning the devil
5) No plotting the murder of family members (yes, we know all about Grandmother!)
Of course, Quentin wouldn't have been nearly as fun to watch had he adhered to that list...
