[spoiler]Yesterday's quote:
Ep #1094 (1970) - Carolyn - 'Mother, please be quiet. You MUST be quiet, otherwise you'll ruin the concert for everyone.'

From "#1093/1094: Robservations 09/05/03: A Song is Sung"

says Liz--I want to talk to you. Not now, says Carolyn, it's going to be dark. What does that have to do with it? asks Liz. I have to light the candles, says Carolyn--for my surprise. What are you talking about? asks Liz. I'm very nervous about it, says Carolyn, but I'm trying to be calm--you may call everyone in. Why should I do that? asks Liz. Carolyn begins to re-arrange the chairs in the room.  What are you doing? asks Liz--why are you behaving this way?  I want everyone to be comfortable, answers Carolyn. All right, you may call them in, says Carolyn. Frantic, Liz calls for Julia. Carolyn stands before the fireplace--I'm not going to be as good as I should be, she says, I haven't practiced for so long, I think everyone will understand. She starts to light the candles.  Carolyn, go to your room, insists Liz. Now? asks Carolyn, lighting the candle, not now, not until after my surprise--you aren't going to ruin this for me, Mother. Carolyn! says Liz, upset. The candles are lit. Is no one else coming? asks Carolyn, running to look into the foyer--where are the others? Gerard stands there, staring at her. She turns back and takes her place in front of the fireplace. I can start now, says Carolyn. Start WHAT? asks Liz. My concert--please sit down, says Carolyn. Liz sits on the sofa. Smoothing back her hair, Carolyn says, "For my first number, I should like to sing my very favorite song." Liz, horrified, says, No, Carolyn, no!  Please be quiet! orders Carolyn, or else you'll ruin the concert for everyone!  She clears her throat and sings

The Robservations paraphrases the quote but gets the points across, albeit without using "must" - shameful!!...

And this is the second quote from this ep. The first (Liz - 'Oh there's a fascinating book you MUST read. It's in the study. I'll get it for you') was back on October 7th of 2023.

[spoiler]Today's quote:
Ep #1157 (1840) - Judard - 'First of all, we MUST place our hands together, form a circle, and it MUST not be broken under any circumstances-- that is very important.'

From "#1157/1158: Robservations 11/06/03: A Frightened Witch"

Collinwood drawing room, seance table - Gerard, I'm not sure if I want to go through with this, says Daniel--you know my reservations on this sort of thing--I've always considered it evil--I'm frightened now, I know I agreed to it, but think I want to change my mind. Believe me, everything will be all right, Gerard assures him--relax, there is no danger involved, everything is quite harmless, and I am sure that when it's all over, you will be very pleased at the final results.  I know you're right, says Daniel--what do you want me to do?  They place their hands together in the unbroken circle--which must not be broken under any circumstances, says Gerard--relax your mind and concentrate

The Robservations paraphrases the quote but gets the points across, and at least one instance of "must" is included this time...

And this is the third quote from this ep. The first (Judard - 'You MUSTN'T worry about that, Charles') was back on February 10th of 2024, and the second (Daniel - 'I MUST change my will. I MUST choose a new heir') was back on November 20th.
