If you don't want to know the circumstances surrounding today's entry in this slideshow, then don't read any further...




[spoiler]Today's quote:
Ep #78 (1966) - Roger - 'You deserve a gold medal for the progress you've made with David, but in lieu of a medal we will have something to eat, something to drink, a little music, a little dancing, but above all, we MUST forget all of the worries for the evening. Agreed?'

From  "#0077/0078: Robservations 07/16/01: A Family Divided"
Foyer - Vicki checks her face in a very large compact mirror, applying powder. Come, come, I call that gilding the lily, teases Roger. I guess I'm as ready as I'll ever be, says Vicki. Did I hear the phone a moment ago? asks Joe. Yes, it was Joe Haskell, says Vicki. Good old Joe Haskell, says Roger, every faithful. He's awfully nice, agrees Vicki, and certainly attentive to her. Why shouldn't he be? asks Roger--how else can he become more than just a fisherman? And what's wrong with being a fisherman? Asks Vicki. Nothing, he says, I didn't mean to sound like a snob. Is it any worse than being just a governess? asks Vicki. I see I've touched a sore spot, says Roger--my sincere apologizes. He helps her into her coat and says she deserves a gold medal for the progress she's made with David--but in lieu of a medal, they'll have something to eat, something to drink, a little music, a little dancing, but above all, they must forget all their worried for the evening--agreed? Agreed! she says. He offers her his arm and they leave the house together.

The Robservations paraphrases a bit but gets the points of the quote quite well...

And Ep #78 is this month's first example where Midnite serendipitously happened upon an ep that hadn't been quoted from before.

If you don't want to know the circumstances surrounding today's entry in this slideshow, then don't read any further...




[spoiler]Today's quote:
Ep #154 (1967) - Roger - 'Don't you understand? I MUST know it for your own sake. You MUST tell me the truth so that I can handle the entire situation as it has to be handled.'

From  "#0154/0155: Robservations 09/07/01: Caretaker of the Crypt"
What would you like to hear? she demands--tell me exactly what is it and I'll say it! Don't you understand, I must know, it's for your own sake, he says, you must tell me the truth so that I can handle the entire situation--as it has to be handled. What are you thinking? asks Laura--surely not that I murdered that woman! Is it impossible? he asks. Roger! she says. Oh, you're so shocked, he mocks-- when will you learn that nothing a human being does is shocking. The idea that I could murder anyone, says Laura--I refuse to discuss this, Roger! If you go through that door, warns Roger, as she starts to leave, it may be the first step in your eminent departure from Collinwood! Don't be ridiculous, she says, my staying or leaving is Elizabeth's decision--at the moment, she has agreed to my staying. I'm afraid that was before our visit from Lt. Riley, says Roger--my sister and I had a chat in this very room before you came here--tonight's episode has convinced her there is no longer any reason for you to stay on in Collinwood. I am not leaving here without David, she reminds him. You are if Liz says you are, he tells her. Did you hear what I said? she repeats--I said I'm not leaving without my son! We'll see, says Roger. I think you and Liz had better listen to me, says Laura--I'm getting a little tired of her threats and I think it's time she realized I have a few of my own! Oh? he asks. And if she thinks she can force me to leave Collinwood... begins Laura. Yes? asks Roger. I don't advise her to try it, because I can carry out my threats, too! says Laura And you think you're incapable of murder, says Roger--I want you to look at yourself right now.

The Robservations references the quote perfectly...

And this is the third quote from this ep. The first (Caretaker - 'You MUSTN'T go in there') was exactly four years ago, back on July 2nd of 2020, and the second (Laura - 'Roger, uh, MUST we talk about this tonight?') was back on June 9th of 2022.

If you don't want to know the circumstances surrounding today's entry in this slideshow, then don't read any further...




[spoiler]Today's quote:
Ep #259 (1967) - Alexandra Moltke Voiceover - 'My name is Victoria Winters. Collinwood, for 18 years, has held one woman captive, but the true prisoner has been the lonely secret locked deep within her heart. Terror is a ransom that MUST be paid, and freedom is more terrifying than captivity. But the stones of Collinwood are not impregnable to the thrusts of love, and the time will come when even the embattled heart MUST yield its long-held secret to freedom and to light.'

This time the slideshow goes where it's only gone three times before: using an opening voiceover. And once again it's because the voiceover is the only place in the ep where "must" is used. So, it was the only choice from Ep #259. And since the quote is not dialogue from a scene, there's no Robservations excerpt. And the graphic -


- was chosen from the exact moment in the voiceover when Alexandra says the first "must." The time she says the second "must" was also a possibility, but I decided to go with the first because a shot of that lit window is frequently seen during voiveovers and is more representative of them. But here's the other option that I could have chosen to use for the slideshow -


And as with Ep #78 earlier this month, Ep #259 is another example where Midnite serendipitously happened upon an ep that hadn't been quoted from before.

And as an aside, Midnite informed me that Eps #257 & #258 don't have any "must" lines. That means that at some point I'll be featuring them in the slideshow with quotes taken from other versions of DS. But I won't get to those eps until sometime in 2025...

[spoiler]Today's quote:
Ep #404 (1796) - Judge Matigan - 'Well, naturally, I MUST communicate with the Foundling Home.'

From  "#0403/0404: Robservations 03/19/02: Barnabas Confronts His Witch-Wife"
At the Collinsport Gaol, Barnabas brings Judge Matigan, who he hopes to defend her at her witchcraft trial, to see Vicki. Although Barnabas does his damndest to deflect Vicki's responses, saying she was hurt in that carriage accident and her brain has suffered as a result, Vicki decides to be completely honest. Barnabas offers to be her character witness, but the judge says he hasn't known Vicki long enough.  Unfortunately, the judge's questions about her family and friends in the Boston area where she claims to have come from a foundling home, unnerve Vicki, so the brilliant Miss Winters decides to tell Matigan that she came from another century! To no one's surprise, including Vicki, Judge Matigan bows out of defending her.

Being during a period with less detail, the Robservations doesn't reference the quote directly. But the way it and the foundling home come up is that after it's explained that odd initial behavior was caused by her having "an accident on the road," Judge Matigan asks Vicki where she lived before she came to Collinwood, Barnabas interjects that he's told him that Vicki came from Boston and was brought up in a foundling home. But Judge Matigan directs, "Please, I am asking Miss Winters." Barnabas apologizes and then Judge Matigan follows up by asking Vicki if she says she was raised in a foundling home in Boston? Vicki lies and says, "Yes." Judge Matigan then asks if that is where she lived before she came to Collinwood? Vicki again lies, "Yes." But then Judge Matigan asks, "And what is the name of that foundling home?" Vicki shakes her head and asks, "Why - why does that matter?" and Barnabas again interjects and asks, "Yes. What difference does that make?" And that is when Judge Matigan delivers the quote. That prompts Barnabas to ask, "Why?" and Judge Matigan replies, "Well, to find people who knew her before she came here. Friends, relatives, anyone who can testify on her behalf." But Vicki says that's not possible. And after Judge Matigan asks why not, Vicki admits there's no one. Judge Matigan believes she had to have had friends of some kind. And after Vicki hesitates and turns to Barnabas, he offers to testify, believing his testimony is sufficient. But Judge Matigan is quick to point out that unfortunately Barnabas has only known Vicki since her arrival in Collinwood. Vicki then tells Barnabas that Judge Matigan may as well know the truth. Barnabas tries to protest, but Vicki presses on that she comes from another place, another time, confusing Judge Matigan. Vicki goes on to explain that somehow she was transported there from the future where she works for descendants of the Collins family "who will live 200 years from now." Not exactly the smartest move. But at least Vicki realizes her admission means that Judge Matigan won't be willing to defend her...

And who knew that quoting "MUST" lines would have us commemorating Addison Powell's first bodily appearance on the show after having been the voice of Jeremiah's Ghost earlier in the storyline.

And this is the third quote from this ep. The first (Barnabas - 'If she knew the truth, Angelique would kill her. Somehow I MUST make her listen to me') was back on September 4th of 2021, and the second (Barnabas - 'I have no desire to threaten you but I ask desperately for your help. And you MUST give it to me. I MUST speak to Josette. I MUST see her and you MUST make that possible') was back on May 25th.

[spoiler]Today's quote:
Ep #520 (1968) - Barnabas - 'Elizabeth, we MUST get you to a doctor quickly.'

From  "Robservations 6/13/02 - #519/520 - Trask Makes it Right"
Tower room - Liz begs Barnabas to let her in, to see him once, and she opens the door on the empty room now littered with books. She calls to Barnabas, feeling the poison working on her. "No, not until I see him," she cries. Barnabas runs in. Liz begs her "son" to hold her. I am not your son and you aren't Naomi, says Barnabas-you are under a spell. No, you are, she insists--Joshua told me you were dead, but you are alive--what is true? I'm not under a spell! says Barnabas. I did what I had to do, says Liz, fading, I have no life, she told me that. We must get you to a doctor, Barnabas says. He clasps her in his arms, demanding to know what she took

The Robservations references most of the quote well...

And this is the second quote from this ep. The first (Julia - 'You MUST hope, Barnabas') was back on December 29th.

[spoiler]Today's quote:
Ep #650 (1968) - Roger - 'Oh, it MUST have been terrible for you, dear, but it's something that you're just going to have to wipe out of your mind.'

From  "Robservations 9/17/02 - #649/650 - A Tumble Downstairs; A Rejected Proposal"
Liz, in a pretty blue dress, paces the drawing room. It's 6:30. She looks at the Tarot card. Roger comes in, looking exhausted. Madame F had a heart attack, Roger tells Liz, who consider that odd--did she see something that scared her to death? Roger chides her--Mrs. Findlay died of natural causes and Liz must accept it. Liz vividly describes how the medium fell down the stairs. Roger advises her to wipe it from her mind (like that's easy).

Unfortunately, the Robservations only references the most important part of the quote...

And "Findlay" should be "Findley" (perhaps the Robservations should have stuck to using "Madame F"  [wink2]).

And this is the second quote from this ep. The first (Vicki - 'Please, Jeff, the watch MUST tick. I MUST know that you're close to me') was back on November 27th of 2020.

If you don't want to know the circumstances surrounding today's entry in this slideshow, then don't read any further...




[spoiler]Today's quote:
Ep #763 (1897) - Beth - 'But she IS at rest. Magda, MUST he go on forever like this?'

From  "Robservations 1/10/03 - #762-763 -  A Heart-Wrenching Truth"
You aren't a gypsy, says Magda.  Yes, says Beth, and I'm glad--I wouldn't want the power to do the evil you do.  The gypsy says, I have helped Quentin more times than you know.  Help him now, begs Beth--you can remove the curse.  I don't want to, says Magda--it's the only way to let my sister's spirit rest, to be avenged.  She IS at rest, cries Beth, must we go on forever like this?  Every night when there is a moon, says Magda, he'll be at its mercey--for months, for the rest of his life.  Can't we do something? sobs Beth--I can't go back without some hope.  Don't go back, advises Magda cruelly.  You have no right to speak to me that way, says Beth--I could spend the rest of my life with Quentin, marry him, get money somehow, travel, and find a cure!  Magda looks unhappy--you would marry him, knowing his son, if he has one, will suffer the same fate as Quentin.   "You're mad!" says Beth, horrified.  That's the curse, says Magda.  "Then" says Beth, "you have cursed your own kin."  But Jenny had no children, says Magda.  "Remember the dolls, Magda?--dolls I gave her because her own children were taken from her."  You're lying! Magda accuses. I'll take you to them, offers Beth--twins, a boy and a girl, who live 20 minutes away--shall we go now?  I wouldn't believe it if I saw them, says Magda.  You'd have to, says Beth--the little girl looks exactly like Jenny.  How could anyone not know of this? asks Magda.  Edward and Judith are the reason, explains Beth

Unfortunately, when the Robservations references the quote, it has "we" instead of "he," which changes the meaning entirely...

And this is the fourth quote from this ep. The first (Tim - 'I MUST do whatever you TELL me') was back on June 16th of 2020, the second (Magda - 'You MUST go and get a pentagram. You MUST put it around the little boy. He MUST wear it always-- always-- all the days of his life') was back on November 7th of 2020, and the third (Evan - 'Because it MUST be done, and you have been chosen') was back on May 24th. So that all means that Ep #763 has joined the club with Eps #2, #3, #42, #44, #50, #52, #54, #66, #106, #119, #133, #195, #208, #211, #212, #296, #300, #308, #315, #340, #365, #367, #377, #384, #426, #449, #450, #462, #466, #479, #481, #503, #506, #518, #543, #544, #550, #608, #609, #629, #639, #643, #644, #646, #647, #655, #678, #709, #717, #727, #734, #742, #743, #746, #750, #883, #884, #886, #889, #915, #975, #976, #977, #993, #1006, #1011, #1057, #1064, #1111, #1125, #1126, #1127, #1128, #1197, #1199, #1206, #1218 and #1232. However, not only recall that Eps #42, #44, #52, #66, #133, #208, #211, #300, #367, #377, #384, #449, #466, #550, #609, #629, #639, #646, #678, #709, #727, #734, #742, #746, #977, #993, #1057, #1111, & #1197 have five quotes, but Eps #66, #377, #384, #449, #646, #727 & #993 have six quotes.

[spoiler]Today's quote:
Ep #915 (1969) - Barnabas - 'No, you MUST leave me alone.'

From  "Robservations 4/29/03 - 913/914/915 - Warning for Barnabas: A Taste of Vampirism"
Barnabas finds himself on the docks near the Greenfield Inn, searching for a victim. Why am I here? he asks himself--this cannot be happening to me again, I know why I'm waiting, I am standing here...I will not let it happen...I will go home, I must. He turns to leave, but feels a hand on his shoulder. He turns to see a smiling face (a young, untried Marsha Mason), who smiles and asks, where are you going? Please leave me alone, I'm in a hurry, he says. Try that on someone else, she advises flirtatiously, I've been standing here, watching you looking lonesome. Why have you been watching me? he asks. Maybe I didn't have anything better to do, she says, grinning, I'm new in town, and lonesome, too. Go to the Blue Whale, he suggests, you'll find lots of friends there. He tries moving away, but she pursues him and says, "I found the friend I want." No, leave me alone, he insists. She leans her head against his shoulder, caressing it--I can be a very good friend, she promises, you'll find that out--we should both go to the Blue Whale. She teasingly touches his ear. I can't go to the Blue Whale, says Barnabas, or anywhere else except my home. Take me with you, she coos. No, he says, I'm going alone--good night. He doesn't move, however.  I don't think you are going home, she says--why should you?--a man, standing alone on a dark street, a storm coming up any minute--that man is waiting for something, isn't he? Barnabas stares at her evilly, hungrily.

The Robservations references the quote well, though it makes it seem as if Barnabas only tells her once to leave him alone when he actually tells her twice...

And this is the fifth quote from this ep. The first (Adlar - 'Enemies MUST be dealt with, that is the law') was back on April 28th of 2021, the second (Megan - 'Oh, but I MUST, please, Barnabas, you're the only one I can talk to') was back on November 8th of 2021, the third (Adlar - 'You are just an outsider. You MUST constantly prove yourself...because you will never be above suspicion') was back on April 11th of 2022, and the fourth (Michael - 'Now that you serve us, you MUST forget all that happened before') was back on October 25th of 2022.

And this ep now shares the [milestone] of a fifth quote with Eps #42, #44, #52, #66, #133, #208, #211, #300, #367, #377, #384, #449, #466, #550, #609, #629, #639, #646, #678, #709, #727, #734, #742, #746, #977, #993, #1057, #1111, & #1197. However, recall that there's an even bigger because Eps #66, #377, #384, #449, #646, #727 & #993 have six quotes...

If you don't want to know the circumstances surrounding today's entry in this slideshow, then don't read any further...




[spoiler]Today's quote:
Ep #1014 (1970PT) - Hannah - 'Oh. I-- You MUST excuse me. I really MUST go now. Quentin, Quentin, please be careful.'

From  "#1014/1015: Robservations 07/10/03: Hoffman Learns the Truth"
Collinwood - Angelique's room - Quentin enters. I've been worried about you, says Hannah--Alexis said you haven't been feeling well. I'm feeling better now, he says. I'm glad to hear it, says Hannah--where's Alexis?--she's been looking for you. Downstairs, he says, sounding very distant.  I really must go now, says Hannah--Quentin, be very careful, please.  She leaves. Quentin picks up a Tarot card from the table and holds it up, wondering to himself, is it true it can reveal hidden future secrets?

The Robservations paraphrases the quote but gets it well...

And I was a bit surprised when I saw that Midnite had come up with the quote because I'd mistakenly thought we might have already used all of Hannah's potential quotes. I mean this one is the sixth Hannah quote used in the slideshow, yet she appeared in only 7 eps. And who knows, there may yet be more...

And this is the third quote from this ep. The first (Quentin - 'Is it true that you can reveal secrets that are hidden in the future? Everything that's happening MUST be leading to something. But what? Does the answer lie here?') was back on September 19th of 2021, and the second (Cyrus - 'I can't possibly tell Quentin what I know, and I MUST forget what Yaeger knows') was back on October 3rd.

[spoiler]Today's quote:
Ep #1080 (1970) - Hallie - 'Someone MUST'VE brought it here to the drawing room.'

From  "#1080/1081: Robservations 08/26/03: Return of Roxanne!"
I couldn't tell, says David, I was too scared. So was I, confesses Hallie, as soon as I saw that (she indicates the ship). How did it get down here? wonders David, it was up in my room, both of us saw it!  Someone must have brought it here, she says. But who? asks David--you, me and Aunt Liz were the only ones here.  I don't know, she says, but it was someone that none of them could see.  I'm going to take it out of here, put it in the playroom, and leave it there, says David determinedly.  He takes the ship away.  Hallie nervously watches him go.

The Robservations references nearly the entire quote, and it does so well...

And this is the second quote from this ep. The first (Liz - 'Carolyn, I MUST insist that you stay away from Sebastian') was back on May 20th.

If you don't want to know the circumstances surrounding today's entry in this slideshow, then don't read any further...




[spoiler]Today's quote:
Ep #1134_1135 (1840) - Gerard - 'Now you listen to me. Flora is our last chance. My plans have changed here at Collinwood. Now we MUSTN'T do anything to have her upset.'

From  "#1133/1134_1135: Robservations 10/21/03: Valerie Threatens Roxanne"
Rose Cottage - Leticia examines the instruments.  Gerard enters--where have you been? he asks--I've looked all over for you.  Round and about, she says, trying to keep my mind occupied, as it were.  I suggest you go upstairs and occupy your mind with Flora, he says--she is writing a new book in which you are to be the main character--she can't finish it without you--now get on up there!  I'm sorry, I don't have time right now, says Leticia.  What do you mean, you don't have time? he demands, grabbing her arm and swinging her around.  I mean just what I said, she says, I have something important to do.  He puts his hands on her shoulders--Flora is our last chance, he says--my plans have changed here in Collinwood, and I'm not going to do anything to get her upset.  No one wants to do that, agrees Leticia--I'll get to Flora when I have time--go up and turn on your charm, that ought to sort her out.  He follows her to the door--where are you going?  Out! she answers--we've each got our own lives to live, don't we?  He calls after her, but she's gone.

Again a Robservations paraphrases most of a quote, and gets the main points across well...

And this is the third quote from this ep. The first (Angerie - 'Valerie, Barnabas. You MUST remember to call me Valerie. I don't want an embarrassing scene from the rest of the family') was back on November 21st of 2020, and the second (Julia - 'There is going to be an electrical storm tonight-- later. We MUST use the lightning to transmit the life force to him') was back on May 28th.

If you don't want to know the circumstances surrounding today's entry in this slideshow, then don't read any further...




[spoiler]Today's quote:
Ep #1215 (1841PT) - Flora - 'Well, of course you MUST have children.'

From  "#1214/1215: Robservations 12/18/03: Not Gabriel!"
Catherine and I had our first disagreement last night, he says--it was about our having children.  Of course you must have children, insists Flora.  She says that too, he says--I won't have children as long as that curse exists!  Morgan! says Flora disapprovingly.  I will put no child of mine through any of this, insists Morgan--we can't let that child face what we had to face last week!--I'm sick of it--I will find Gabriel and end that curse.  How? she asks--he could be anywhere by now, there's no way of telling where he is.

The Robservations references the quote almost perfectly...

And this is the third quote from this ep. The first (Justin's Ghost - 'The room. Someone MUST go into the room') was back on March 12th of 2021, and the second (Carrie - 'You MUST wait--Gabriel will find you'') was back on April 14th of 2023.

[spoiler]Today's quote:
Ep #80 (1966) - Roger - 'Nothing. Nothing at all, except, as with all fishermen, he MUST feel that there are more fish in the sea.'

From  "#0079/0080: Robservations 07/17/01: Burke Plays Carolyn and David"
I think it would be better if I talked to Joe alone, says Liz, her tone tinged with annoyance. As you wish, my dear, says Roger, exiting the room and closing the doors behind him. (Liz really likes to "decapitate" Roger in the southern region, doesn't she?--ouch!) Carolyn comes downstairs, coat over her arm, beaming. You don't want to go in there, warns Roger, your Mr. Haskell and my sister are having a frightfully important conference. Really? asks Carolyn--what about? I believe your mother is offering Joe some great bribe to take you off her hands, says Roger. Uncle Roger, says Carolyn reproachfully, then looks at his angry face and adds, "You are joking?" She wouldn't say it in so many words, he says, but that's what it sounded like to me--oh, Kitten, you can't be serious about marrying an ordinary fisherman--that's the extent of his ambition. What's wrong with being a fisherman? asks Carolyn defensively. Nothing, says Roger, except as with all fishermen, he must feel there are more fish in the sea. What is that supposed to mean? asks Carolyn, irritated. Well, you might ask Joe if he enjoyed his date last night at the Blue Whale. What date? asks Carolyn quietly. I'm not one to talk out of school, says Roger, (get a switch and hit yourself, liar!) but Vicki and I happened to be there and we saw him with Maggie Evans.

The Robservations references the quote almost perfectly...

And as with Eps #78 and #259 earlier this month, Ep #80 is another example where Midnite serendipitously happened upon an ep that hadn't been quoted from before.

[spoiler]Today's quote:
Ep #260 (1967) - Maggie - 'Little girl, I don't know who you are or why you're here, but you MUST help me. You've got to go tell someone that I'm locked in here so they can come and get me. You MUST tell my father.'

From  "#0259/0260: Robservations 11/27/01: Sarah Visits"
Sarah appears in Maggie's cell, playing "London Bridge" on a flute. Don't cry, says Sarah--I'll let you keep my doll. Realizing Sarah is real, Maggie begs her to go to Sam Evans, her father, and tell him she's here. Sarah assures Maggie she doesn't want her to die.

The Robservations falls in the period with little detail, so it doesn't reference the quote, however, it does reference the circumstances under which the quote is delivered because after she realizes Sarah is real is when Maggie delivers the quote...

And this is the second quote from this ep. The first (Sarah - 'You MUSTN'T die. I don't want you to die') was back on March 3rd of 2022.

[spoiler]Today's quote:
Ep #405 (1796) - Barnabas - 'In order to harm her, you MUST first know where she is, and you don't know that.'

From  "#0405/0406: Robservations 03/20/02 - Cursed!"
Angelique and Barnabas square off. He's made a big mistake, she says, her eyes glinting angry sparks. He tried to betray her, but he won't succeed--does he really think getting Josette out of town will stop her?  She's got more powers than he thinks, spits Angelique, and proves it by turning Josette's portrait into a bloody skeleton. Oh, sure, you can distort the portrait, but not really hurt Josette, says Barn. She asks where Josette is, but he refuses to tell her. She could force him--but then, he says smugly, she wouldn't be getting him the way she wants him, thus defeating her purpose.

Unfortunately, this Robservations falls into the period where there still isn't as much detail as there will be, so the quote isn't referenced. However, at least the circumstances around it are referenced. After Barnabas says Angelique may be able to distort the portrait but she can't harm Josette, Angelique counters that he's a fool if he believes that. But Barnabas says she's a fool if she thinks he would believe anything else. And after that is when Barnabas delivers the quote. That prompts Angelique to accuse Barnabas of going to Josette and telling Josette about her. He denies this. But Angelique points out that he sent her away, which he admits. And after Angelique asks where, Barnabas asks if she really believes he would tell her...

And when it comes to the screen capture for this quote, it's so the case that if looks could kill, the expression on Angelique's face would have definitely killed Barnabas -


- just look at those eyes(!) - but as angry as she is there, it's nothing compared to what she will look like in the not too distant future in this ep!  [ghost_wink]

And this is the fourth quote from this ep. The first (Countess du Pres - 'They'll think we've both gone mad. No, Josette, you MUST stay and make your explanations before you leave') was back on November 23rd of 2021, the second (Josette - 'I MUST ask a favor of you, Aunt Natalie') was back on January 15th of 2022, and the third (Abigail - 'I MUST talk to you at once') was back on March 15th of 2022. So that all means that Ep #405 has joined the club with Eps #2, #3, #42, #44, #50, #52, #54, #66, #106, #119, #133, #195, #208, #211, #212, #296, #300, #308, #315, #340, #365, #367, #377, #384, #426, #449, #450, #462, #466, #479, #481, #503, #506, #518, #543, #544, #550, #608, #609, #629, #639, #643, #644, #646, #647, #655, #678, #709, #717, #727, #734, #742, #743, #746, #750, #763, #883, #884, #886, #889, #915, #975, #976, #977, #993, #1006, #1011, #1057, #1064, #1111, #1125, #1126, #1127, #1128, #1197, #1199, #1206, #1218 and #1232. However, not only recall that Eps #42, #44, #52, #66, #133, #208, #211, #300, #367, #377, #384, #449, #466, #550, #609, #629, #639, #646, #678, #709, #727, #734, #742, #746, #915, #977, #993, #1057, #1111, & #1197 have five quotes, but Eps #66, #377, #384, #449, #646, #727 & #993 have six quotes.
