[spoiler]Today's quote:
DS 2012: (-1966: Ep #72) - Barnabas - 'Fifteen - and no husband! You MUST put those birthing hips to good use at once, lest your womb shrivel up and die.'

From the DS 2012 script:

CUT TO; INT. COLLINWOOD MANOR (CAROLYN'S ROOM) - DAY Barnabas sits politely on Carolyn's frilly bed. His great-great-great grand-niece sits beside him -- as far away as the edge of the bed will allow.                         CAROLYN           I don't feel comfortable talking           to you about this.                         BARNABAS           I simply seek a bit advice in the           art of courting a woman of this ti                         (almost said "time")           "Land." Of this land. After all,           who better than a woman of your           age -- what is your age, if I may?                         CAROLYN           Fifteen.                         BARNABAS           Who better than a woman of fifteen           to --                         {stops cold)           My Lord, fifteen and no husband?           We must put those birthing hips to           good use before your womb shrivels           and dies!

She stares him down -- are you out of your mind?                         BARNABAS (CONT’D)           A joke, my dear -- a bit of fun!           David tells me women these days           are commoniy married as late as           twenty; even twenty-one. You           have time yet for dalliances.                         CAROLYN                         (a beat, then)           You're weird.                         BARNABAS           We're all a bit queer darling.           It's nothing to be ashamed of. He whispers to her -- almost sounding like a schoolgirl:                         BARNABAS (CONT'D)           Do you think me too...queer for a           woman of this land?                         CAROLYN           You obviously mean Vicky.                         BARNABAS                         (imagining)           She has the most fertile birthing           hips...                         CAROLYN           And yes, you're way too weird.                         BARNABAS                         (taking it to heart)           Do you really think so?                         CAROLYN           Yeah. You're all stiff and proper           and old fashioned.                         BARNABAS           And Victoria? She isn't...proper?                         CAROLYN           She likes to pretend she's Disco,           but she's a Carpenters kind've           chick, for sure.                         BARNABAS           I had no idea she was woodworker           by trade.

CAROLYN           The Carpenters are musicians,           stupid.                         BARNABAS           Ah! Music! Yes, I'm rather fond           of the music of the day. Barnabas breaks into an achingly soft 4 capella rendition of The Steve Miller Band's "The Joker."                         BARNABAS (CONT'D)           For I am a picker, I am a grinner,           I am a lover, and I am a sinner --           Playing my music in the sun...                         (a beat, then}           If only Shakespeare had been as           eloquent...                         CAROLYN           Listen -- if you want to get down           with her, you've got to change up           your approach. You've gotta drop           the whole, weird swinging London           thing and spend some time around           normal people... We MOVE TOWARD Barnabas; the sound of NIGHT WOODS growing louder by the second...

And the excerpt is from the November 30, 2010 version of the script, which is not the exact version that was ultimately shot. As such some of the directions, descriptions and dialogue are different in the excerpt. However, the way the quote is delivered in the film is very close to the way it appears in the excerpt...

And just a reminder, we've seen notations like "DS 2012: (-1966: Ep #72)" before and in this case it means that the quote should have come from 1966's Ep #72 but that ep doesn't have any "must" lines to quote from. So, with that in mind, it means Ep #72 now joins Eps #1, #5, #8, #12, #13, #22, #24, #39, #47, #86, #87, #120, #124, #136, #138, #139, #141, #145, #189, #198, #210, #217, #219, #223, #242, #272, #478, #659, #667, #690, #848, #904, #960, #1008 and #1087 as ones without any "must" lines.

[spoiler]Today's quote:
DS 1991 Ep #11 (-1966: Ep #49) - Natalie - 'Well, if we are to protect Josette, we MUST do it in the next two nights.'

From SHADOWS IN THE '90s: The Dark Shadows Concordance 1991 - PLOT SUMMARIES - EPISODE ELEVEN:

JOSETTE'S ROOM:  Josette is asleep.  Natalie fixes a cross above Josette's bed and directs Andre to put another in the window.  Peter joins them and asks about the crosses. Natalie takes him into the next room and explains about vampires.  Peter, at first skeptical, admits Victoria believes the same thing.  Natalie insists they must take every precaution to protect Josette.

The summary doesn't reference the quote directly but it does reference its circumstances...

And one thing that the summary doesn't mention is that when Peter arrives at Josette's room, Joshua is with him. And if the look on Joshua face at seeing the crosses could have killed, everyone in the room would have been dead. 

And as I've done previously when it comes to the '91 Series, I used a screen capture from the TGG Direct DVD release that's the same dimensions as the ones from the original series -

- because even though that release also doesn't have the correct color timing like the VHS release does (to be added later) -

- also like the VHS release, it has the correct aspect ratio, plus it even tends to show a bit more of the frame and it's clearer than the VHS.

And even though the MGM DVD release, like the TGG Direct release, tends to be clearer than the VHS, frustratingly, the aspect ratio is cropped from 4X3 to 16X9 -

And just a reminder, we've seen a notation similar to "DS 1991 Ep #11 (-1966: Ep #49)" before and in this case it means that the quote should have come from a Vicki's Arrival-Burke's Revenge-Matthew Morgan-Introducing Josette's Ep #49 but that ep doesn't have any "must" lines to quote from. So, with that in mind, it means Ep #49 now joins Eps #1, #5, #8, #12, #13, #22, #24, #39, #47, #72, #86, #87, #120, #124, #136, #138, #139, #141, #145, #189, #198, #210, #217, #219, #223, #242, #272, #478, #659, #667, #690, #848, #904, #960, #1008 and #1087 as ones without any "must" lines.

   And once again it's a case that I don't currently have access to my DS 1991 VHS tapes or a video copy of Ep #11 (I do have such copies of some of the other eps), so that's why the screen capture from that scene from Ep #11 isn't currently displaying. But as soon as I get access to the tape again and can take the screen capture, it will be posted as well as a notice that it has been added...

For those who may have missed all of today's quotes because of whatever weirdness was happening again, here they are:

2020:

Ep #1218 (1841PT) - Josette - You MUST answer that as honestly as you
know how.'

2021:

Ep #555 (1968) - Nicholas - 'So you MUSTN'T be afraid to tell me the truth.'

2022:

Ep #545 (1968) - Carolyn - 'But we MUST be more careful.'

2023:

Ep #806 (1897) - Gregory - 'An evil force has aroused your spirit against
me. You MUST believe that, Minerva. You MUST believe that!'

2024:

Ep #14 (1966) - Carolyn - 'Oh, that MUST be Joe.'

2025:

DS 1991 Ep #11 (-1966: Ep #49) - Natalie - 'Well, if we are to
protect Josette, we MUST do it in the next two nights.'

And if those screen captures/quotes are still up but you're not seeing them correctly, that means you probably need to clear your browser's cache...

[spoiler]Today's quote:
hoDS: Scene #86 (-1966/67) - Barnabas - 'You MUST. ... You're as beautiful as she.'

From DC's hoDS script:

He crosses to a portrait on the other side of the room.                                BARNABAS                        Naomi Collins, isn't it?                               LIZ                        Yes. The first Barnabas's mother.        From his pocket, he takes a small velvet box.                               BARNABAS                        I so hoped there would be someone                        like you to wear this.        He hands it to Liz.                               LIZ                        Why, thank you.                               CAROLYN                        What is it, Mother?         She opens it, is astonished.                               LIZ                        Look at this. Isn't it beautiful?         She holds up the necklace.  It is the same one that Naomi         wears in the portrait.                               CAROLYN                        I've never seen anything like it.                                                               CONTINUED Rev. 4/14                                                                    Rve. 4/14/70  86     CONTD                              ROGER                            PAN TO                    The missing jewels.  Naomi's necklace.      CU Rog                    Barnabas, where did you find them.          SLOW PAN                                                                PAST  JULIA                              LIZ                                TO   CU                    It's absolutely magnificent.                  PROFILE BARN                              ROGER                    Legend had it they were buried in                    the revolutionary War and never                    found again.                              BARNABAS                    Legend is so much more romantic than                    reality.  Naomi gave them to my ancestor when                    he left Collinwood.  They were his share of the                    estate.                              CAROLYN                    Mother, you must wear them .                              ROGER                    I remember reading she gave him the                    Old House too.                              BARNABAS                    I'm so looking forward to seeing it.                    The first Barnabas wrote a fascinating                    memoir about his life there.  I've always                    dreamed of living in that house.                              LIZ                    It's in shocking condition we've not kept                    it up, I'm afraid.                              ROGER                    With work, it could be made livable again.                    Why don't we take you through it?         Carolyn has fastened the necklace around Liz's neck.  She looks down at it.                              LIZ                    I don't really know how I can accept this.                              BARNABAS                      (As he takes her hand Carolyn sees the ring)                    You must.  You are as beautiful as she.

And while the script has "You are as," what Barnabas actually says in the film is "You're as"...

And another bit of business is that I used a screen capture from the VHS -

- so that it would be in keeping with the dimensions of the screen captures from the original show, but this is what the Blu-ray looks like -

And apparently there was, or perhaps still is an alternate 4X3 print of hoDS that, unlike the VHS, shows more of the frame at the top but less on the sides and bottom, and it was shown as the July 14, 1985 installment of Elvira's Movie Macabre. So, I'm adding a screen capture from it of Scene 86 to this post:

And just a reminder, we've seen a notation similar to "hoDS: Scene #86 (-1966/67)" before and in this case it means that the quote should have come from a The Return of Laura ep, but there aren't any more eps from that period that haven't been quoted from, so an alternate version of DS is being used instead. In this case that alternate version is hoDS and a quote from its Scene 86 is being used.

[spoiler]Today's quote:
Ep #280 (1967) - Liz - 'So MUST I. Roger, you're being absurd.'

From "#0279/0280: Robservations 12/11/01: Barnabas' Swinging Party"

The chapel bell rings 11 PM, Liz feels a phantom hand touch her shoulder, the candles flicker and Roger suggests the presence of a ghost--and says, "Let's have a seance!" Barnabas protests, Roger persists, even accusing Barn of being afraid. Liz advises Barnabas to go along, because Roger will not let up.

The Robservations falls in the period where there's little detail and, thus, the quote isn't directly referenced, but the circumstances are as Liz' quote is a direct response to Barnabas' protest...
