Into the Leviathans storyline:

Angelique: "Carolyn knew me as Cassandra."
Barnabas: "She won't recognize you, you had dark hair!"

Jeb Hawkes: "I've just stopped by to confirm our date & ask you to meet me at the Old House."
Carolyn: "At the Old House?"
Quentin Collins: "Ooooh, very romantic."

Bruno: "Don't worry, you've got Bruno!"

Willie: "Oh, I'm not going up to some old room in the East Wing, open some coffin & put a stake on her heart. Barnabas, I don't even know Megan Todd!"
Barnabas: "Willie, it isn't a pleasant task for anyone. But it must be done."
Willie: "Well..Julia!"
Barnabas: "Julia hasn't got the strength for it."
Willie: "Well, I'm not so strong either, Barnabas!"

The lines that I  am about to type out strike me as HIGHlarious!  It has to do with Grayson's delivery of them more than anything, I think! 

In Episode 408...after the doctor has seen Barnabas and says he thinks he has the plague.  Natalie says "THE PLAGUE!" and although it's very serious episode (like most) I probably rewound that one ten times because of her delivery! SO FUNNY...

In Episode 409 as La Countess and Josette are looking through the Collins Family history, the wind blows out the candles (well most of them) and Grayson does that high pitched "OOH"  and then says "THE WIND!!!"  I almost fell in the floor.

My favorite of them all is in episode 410 when she tells Josette they need to leave Collinsport she says..."Josette.  I don't understand it.  What I don't I understand I run from.....IS THAT NORMAL??"   Again it's in the way Grayson delivers the line that had me cackling!  I also found it funny La Countess (who seems to "all knowing") asking her young niece if her behavior was normal.

It may just be me, maybe I was just in a mood but those lines cracked me up.  I am pretty sure, as I said before, it was in Grayson's delivery of the lines!

Another funny line that Ben said to Peter Bradford. "You don't need to be in a graveyard if you are hearing voices!"  Well I just lost it.  Ben may have been ignorant (in some ways) but he often spoke the truth.  I don't think I would be in a graveyard if I was hearing voices either!!

One I've been meaning to post is a rare favorite line spoken by TLATKLS.  It's from early on in the Parallel Time 1970 and Maggie is talking to Hoffman, Housekeeper from Hell:

"You're a rare woman yourself, Hoffman.  You're the only person I know who could turn an apology into a testimonial."

Classic stuff...

In general, ALL of Grayson's scenes as Housekeeper Hoffman are instant favorites.  I love her gloating whenever she talks to Maggie about "Mrs Collins."

I love that moment so much that I featured it in the History Slideshow:

1970: Ep #984 - Now the wiser, Maggie admonishes Hoffman
for turning her apology into a testimonial about Angelique.

I think my favorite is early on in the show, Willie has just let Barnabas out of his coffin and gets bit.. on the wrist... hahahaha.... and Willie is staying in a room in Collinwood. Vicki brings his food up to him and he's not acting right... so she's SUPPOSED to say, "What's wrong with you? Your illness?" And it comes out, "What's wrong with you, Your Illness?" almost like saying "Your Highness".

Thanks, MB, for that capture.  I'd forgetten that that scene is staged in front of the portrait of "the first Mrs. Collins."

Another great moment is when Maggie is pouring a cup of tea for Will Loomis and the smirk on Hoffman's face as she hands him his liquor right on beat to be caught by Maggie.  Will's line about tannic acid, and Hoffman's smug expression, are priceless!

Barnabas: "If I can find Julia alive, then she can clear Quentin by testifying that Angelique used a doll to murder Bruno."
(Someone should carry a tape recorder around so Barnabas can hear how ridiculous some of the stuff he says is..)

Quentin: "The only sedative I need is to get my hands around Stoke's neck."

Julia: "Quentin, I think I found it: 'Proposed Stairway Into Time'!"
Quentin: "You're telling me someone actually drew up plans under that heading?"

Julia: "Quentin, I think I found it: 'Proposed Stairway Into Time'!"
Quentin: "You're telling me someone actually drew up plans under that heading?"

I enjoy both of those, especially Barnabas's line, which really ought to have been preceded by the words "I have a cunning plan!"

Sara Monster, the links to your images from here just aren't working well.  However, I can view the pics when I access them via your directory.  (Great screencaps!)
