Barnabas: "Josette, look at me, my dear. Look at me. Look into my eyes. All I want is to make you happy, you know that don't you?" "Yes." Barnabas: "Then you must never be frightened of me. Ever."
Maggie: "Frightened?"
Barnabas: "You were frightened of me once. So frightened that you ended your life on Widow's Hill."
Maggie: "Widow's Hill?"
Barnabas: "You didn't understand. I didn't want to harm you. Do you understand that now? Tell me. Tell me you understand. I've been waiting to hear you say that for so long."
Maggie: (flatly) "I understand."
Barnabas: "Tell me that you know that we're going to be happy together. Tell me you know how happy we're going to be."
Maggie: "Yes..yes."
Barnabas: "You don't know what that means to me to hear you say those words. You can't know."
(goes to kiss her hands)(she pulls away)
Barnabas: "Well don't be frightened of me. You said you aren't frightened of me, you aren't are you?"
Maggie: "No."
Barnabas: "You want to be my bride. You want it as much as I do."
Maggie: "Yes."
Barnabas: "I remember the first time I saw you. You couldn't speak a word of English, a beautiful dark girl of 18. My job was to teach you English. Those hours we spend together were the happiest of my life. And we will relive them again & again as time goes by. Time will mean nothing."
Maggie: "Nothing."
Jason McGuire: "People are still wondering what happened to him, you know. Where did he go? Oh-where, oh-where has Paul Stoddard had gone, oh-where, oh-where can he be?"
Doctor Woodard: "It may be some comfort to you to know that a great many people share your dislike for giving away your blood."
Barnabas: "Now in a way, isn't that understandable? Afterall, blood is the lifeforce. It reaches into the deepest recesses of both the heart & the brain. It is the familiar of our complete being. To surrender even one drop of it is to suggest a parcel surrender of one's utmost self."
(Real subtle there..)
Barnabas: "Oh doctor, please be careful."
Doctor Woodard: "Oh, what do you mean?"
Barnabas: "Well from what I've heard, a very dangerous man is interested in what you're trying to do."
Doctor Woodard: "So it would seem."
Barnabas: "I was told that the man, who broke into your office, is of tremendous strenght."
Doctor Woodard: "If 'man' is the proper term, one should use, to describe him."
Barnabas: "Oh, and what term would you suggest?"
Doctor Woodard: "I don't know. Beast, maybe. Although a beast would never do the things that are being done. You know, it's the particular malignance of the human spirit that's required to provide the potental for such corruption."
Barnabas: "Yes, I know what you mean. Whoever he is, he most certainly be, at one & the same time, more than a man & less than a man."
Doctor Woodard: "You seem almost sorry for him."
Barnabas: "Sorry? No, I'm not sorry. The truth is I loathe him. I loathe him very, very deeply."
Willie: "Barnabas, please! Let me go away. Far away, please!"
Barnabas: "But I need you here. You know that."
Willie: "They're gonna find me!"
Barnabas: "Find you? Are you lost?"
Willie: "I don't understand. If you're so worried I'll betray you, why'd you let them take my blood? Why?"
Barnabas: "Oh Willie, you have so little faith in me, don't you?"
Willie: "Faith?"
Barnabas: "Did you really think I would betray you?"
Willie: "what?"
Barnabas: "Did you think that I'd be more unloyal to you than you are to me?"
Willie: "I AM loyal."
Barnabas: "And you think that I am not."
"Willie: I only know that you let them take my blood."
Barnabas: "Yes, I let them take the blood." (takes out the slide & looks at it)
Willie: "What's that?"
Barnabas: "A deliate flower painted on glass."
Willie: "You switched the slides! You changed them!"
Barnabas: "You forgot that I paid a visit, a few days ago, to a doctor's office. Any number of indubious blood slides were made available to me at that time."
Willie: "And the doctor, he won't find anything?"
Barnabas: "Heh, let's say he won't find 'anything' very important."
Willie: "And they won't come after me!"
Barnabas: "Did you think I would let them come after you?"
Willie: "Oh-no. No, I knew you wouldn't let anything happen to me!"
Barnabas: "You knew nothing of the kind."
Willie: "Yes-yes I did, I knew you'd protect me."
Barnabas: "No you didn't. You didn't know it then & you don't know it now."
Willie: "What?"
Barnabas: "I protected you then. I may again and then again, I may not."
Willie: "Uhh..You will. I know you will!"
Barnabas: "We shall see. We shall see.."
(Mind Games 101)
Barnabas: "Maggie?""
Maggie: "What did you say?""
Barnabas: "I was calling Maggie.""
Maggie: "That sounds like a servant's name. But I don't remember one named Maggie.""
Barnabas: "Forgive me. I forgot. She was here for awhile but now she is gone..forever.""
Maggie: "Who was she?""
Barnabas: "No one of any importance. Her name will never be mentioned again."
(Burn!)
Willie: "Give in."
Maggie: "Give in?"
Willie: "It'd be easier."
Barnabas: "What are you doing with this tool? Be careful, it's very sharp. I wouldn't want you to hurt yourself, or anyone else. I wouldn't want you to hurt anyone. But perhaps you were trying to hurt one. Perhaps you were trying to hurt me."
Maggie: "No!"
Barnabas: "Perhaps you were trying to destroy me!"
Vicky: "Oh, isn't that pretty. What is it?"
Barnabas: "Why, it's a music box. It's been in the family for generations."
Vicky: "Beautiful! Does it still play?"
Barnabas: "Yes, would you like to hear it?"
Vicky: "Oh, yes, please."
(music plays)
Vicky: "It's lovely. I reminds me.."
Barnabas: "Of what?"
Vicky: "..of the past. Of a long, long time ago."
Barnabas: "Yes, it does."
Vicky: "Ha, I'm being much too much of a romantic."
Barnabas: "Oh, not at all. Not many young girls feel very happy about the past. And the past is very beautiful VERY beautiful."
Vicky: "Yes, I'm sure it was."
Barnabas: "Well, I watched your face just now. While you listening to the music. You seemed very transfixed."
Vicky: "I did?"
Carl Collins: "Always did have the looks in the family. Yes, I suppose that's why he was Grandmother's favorite when we were children."
Judith Collins: "And Grandfather's too. Grandfather used to sit him on his lap & say 'This boy is much too good looking to die from old age.' "
Carl Collins: "Oh..'Killed by a woman.' That's what he used to say, 'No doubt about it, Quentin will be killed by a woman.' And Grandmother used to say: 'Oh Grandfather, stop talking such nonsense!' "
Judith Collins: "Stop talking nonsense!"
Carl Collins: "Well, I was only saying what Grandfather said!"
Carl Collins: "Quentin, where is Judith & Edward?"
Quentin Collins: "Judith is dreaming about her money. And so is Edward."
Gregory Trask: "Your sister has told me, in confidential alcourse, that you are unusually high-strung."
Carl Collins: "WELL, I AM NOT! Honest!"
