[spoiler]Today's quote:
Ep #75 (1966) - Roger - 'For goodness sake, Kitten, it MUST be here in the house somewhere. It's bound to turn up sooner or later.'
From "#0075/0076: Robservations 07/13/01: No More Pretense"
I saw Burke today--he looks at her--I did see him, I had to talk to him about something. I wish you would stay away from that man, says Roger. I mentioned the pen to him and he said you hadn't given it back to him, says Carolyn. So much happened that night, I suppose it's entirely possible, says Roger. He said when you came to the office, says Carolyn, you were going to give it back to him, but when you reached into your pocket, you said you didn't have it with you. I believe he's telling you the truth, says Roger, I remember something like that. Oh, I hope you haven't lost it, she says, it was so valuable. I'll be happy to buy you another, he says. It was from South America, she says. I'll fly to Rio first thing in the morning and pick one up for you, how's that? he asks. I wish you wouldn't joke about it, she says, it really is my responsibility. For goodness sake, Kitten, it must be here in the house somewhere, he says, it's bound to turn up sooner or later. Hands on hips, Carolyn insists she wants it to turn up NOW! Shall I call the sheriff and tell him to mount a full investigation? asks Roger mockingly. Please! she says, exasperated. Yes, Kitten? he asks mockingly. She giggles, and he chuckles.
The Robservations references the quote perfectly...
Thankfully THE PEN makes its glorious reappearance near the end of the ep:
Vicki is still picking up items from the beach, and she finds something really interesting--a filigreed silver pen exactly like the one Burke gave Carolyn! She takes it into her hand, then looks around at the water and the rocks.
Roger searches the couch cushions for the pen.
And Ep #75 just happens to be one that we hadn't quoted from before. But unlike how for April I specifically quoted from eps we hadn't before, Midnite didn't set out to do that for this month - it just happened serendipitously. But then if we look back I'm guessing there are a least a few times every month that we quote from an ep for the first time. I mean, no one was trying to do it back in March yet it happened 16 times with Eps #153, #253, #1078, #1210, #73, #254, #402, #513, #1211, #74, #514, #759, #1212, #515, #760 and #516...
