[spoiler]Today's quote:
Ep #534 (1968) - Barnabas - 'I can no longer bear to, to think of, of what Vicki is going through for me. I MUST put a stop to it.'
From "Robservations 6/24/02 - #534/535 - The Point of Return?"
Barnabas says there's no way out, but Julia refuses to believe this. He went to see Cassandra, he tells the horrified Julia, and asked her to release Vicki from the dream's effects. In return for WHAT? asks Julia, already knowing. I was willing to admit defeat and restore our relationship of long ago, he says. Julia can't believe he was serious in this offer, and he explains he told her he'd wait at the Old House for her answer, but there was none. If Cassandra wasn't willing to respond to that, there's nothing else, and he can't bear contemplating what Vicki is going through for him. (Does he have any clue what JULIA is going through for him?)Julia begs him to think it over, and he says, firmly, he has thought about it and is prepared to accept it. He leaves, and Julia stares after him, in despair. A very nice scene between these two.)
And again a Robservations paraphrases a quote and gets most of the points across...
And presumably there should be an opening parenthesis before the word "A" in the last line in the above excerpt, as in "(A very nice scene between these two.)", but there isn't.
And this is the fourth quote from this ep. The first (Barnabas - 'It's in her nature to love and not destroy. Well there MUST be something in my nature that's like that too-- that... that is worthy of what she's doing for me. And that's why I cannot let it go on, Julia') was back on July 16th of 2021, the second (Carolyn - 'If Prof. Stokes was willing to take you in and try to teach you, then he MUST understand you. He MUST realize that when you ran from his house, it was out of fear, and that means he isn't angry') was back on August 2nd of 2022, and the third (Carolyn - 'You MUST believe that and let me go now') was back on October 16th of 2023. So all that means that Ep #534 has joined the club with Eps #2, #3, #42, #44, #50, #52, #54, #66, #106, #119, #133, #158, #195, #208, #211, #212, #296, #300, #308, #315, #340, #365, #367, #377, #384, #405, #426, #449, #450, #462, #466, #479, #481, #503, #506, #518, #528, #543, #544, #550, #608, #609, #629, #639, #643, #644, #646, #647, #651, #655, #678, #709, #717, #727, #734, #742, #743, #746, #750, #763, #764, #883, #884, #886, #889, #915, #975, #976, #977, #993, #1006, #1011, #1014, #1057, #1064, #1081, #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 & #1218 have five quotes, but Eps #66, #377, #384, #449, #646, #727, #915 & #993 have six quotes.
