Jonathan Frid: Barnabas Collins

Quotes 

• Barnabas Collins : There was a night like this. A night where a young beautiful woman was pressed to her limits. She could no longer accept what the future held for her. She knew she had to destroy herself... before she became something she did not want to be.

• Barnabas Collins : Crying hysterically, she limped and crawled to the edge of the precipice. Her lover reached her, clutched at her, spinning her around to face him. Her eyes were wide with terror as the lover held her tightly. His lips pressed against her throat. Soon she went limp, and he released her. Suddenly, with a last surge of energy, she broke free and hurled herself off the cliff!

  [overcome with emotion, Barnabas pauses, turns away, regains his composure] 

  Barnabas Collins : Her scream reacting and echoing as she plunged downward. Her body was impaled on the large craggy rocks below. Her lover descended to the bottom of Widows Hill and found her body... broken... lifeless... bloodless. As violent as her death was, the expression on her face was one of serenity, as if this were the best possible ending to her life.

  Carolyn Stoddard : [badly shaken]  I don't want to hear anymore.

  Barnabas Collins : Did my story startle you? I'm terribly sorry. I certainly didn't intend to tell it.

• Barnabas Collins : You're a very clever girl, Miss Winters. Please take care that what happened to her... doesn't happen to you.
