- Dr. Eric Lang: [Adam is in his cell listening to taped message from Lang] Julia... when... when you do the experiment again, if both Barnabas and my creation live, if they BOTH live, Barnabas will be free and healthy as long as Adam lives. Adam will drain Barnabas' affliction from him, but will not suffer from the disease itself... because he lives. But if Adam dies, Barnabas Collins will be as he was before.
- [Adams stops recorder]
- Adam: Before... as before. As before.
- Willie Loomis: [showing up at Adam's cell with his dinner] Hey, you're talkin' to yourself again, huh? Yeah, you! I got a right to be mad at you! You ain't no friend of mine, no sir!
- [opens cell door... Adam grunts as he reaches for plate Willie is carrying... Willie mocks him]
- Willie Loomis: Don't you growl at me! I brought you your snack! Ten o'clock feeding for the baby!
- [sets plate down out of Adam's reach]
- Adam: [grabs at plate unsuccessfully] As before!
- Willie Loomis: Oh, you learned something did ya?
- [takes plate out of Adam's reach again]
- Willie Loomis: Maybe you can learn something for me! Yeah, it's about time you did something for Willie, instead of Willie always doing something for you!
- [pulls food off plate and holds a chicken drumstick out of Adam's reach]
- Willie Loomis: Yeah! You see this? Huh?
- Adam: Barnabas... Barnabas... Barnabas!
- Willie Loomis: That word don't do nothin' for me! You may get what you want from him by saying that! But you better learn to say something different for me! Yeah! You want the food, huh? Say 'I'! I! I!
- Adam: I! I!
- Willie Loomis: I! You ain't finished yet! Say 'I stole'. Stole! Stole! Come on, what's the matter with you? Can't you even say 'stole'!
- [by this time screaming]
- Willie Loomis: STOLE! STOLE! STOLE! STOLE! NOW YOU STOP IT NOW! Now you look here! You're supposed to learn something new every day! That's what His Highness Mr. Barnabas Collins said! Anything you can learn! You're gonna learn to say 'I stole the earrings!' Come on now, you say that or I'm gonna eat this! You got that? I'm gonna eat it!
- [takes bite from chicken leg]
- Willie Loomis: Come on boy, say it! SAY IT! COME ON, SAY IT!
- [takes another bite]
- Willie Loomis: SAY IT!
- [Willie finishes chicken leg while Adam continues to grunt and moan... then he breaks the chain securing him by the ankle... he lunges at Willie who flees upstairs with Adam in pursuit]
- Dr. Julia Hoffman: [to Barnabas as they're about to enter the Old House] I won't let you alone. You're much too depressed.
- Barnabas Collins: Well, shouldn't I be? When I think of everything for which I'm to blame.
- [they enter and hear Adam grunting at Willie... Barnabas sees Adam choking Willie on the floor]
- Barnabas Collins: Adam! Let him go! You cannot do this!
- Dr. Julia Hoffman: Barnabas! Barnabas be careful!
- Barnabas Collins: You cannot! Stop it!
- [raises his cane]
- Barnabas Collins: LET HIM GO! LET WILLIE GO!
- [he strikes Adam with the cane... Adam stops]
- Barnabas Collins: Now stop it! I won't allow it! Do you understand?
- [Adam resumes choking Willie... Barnabas strikes him four more times... Adam finally stops]
- Barnabas Collins: Now Adam... let Willie go.
- Adam: [releasing Willie... weakly] Barnabas...
- [gets up... snatches cane from Barnabas and attacks him]
- Dr. Julia Hoffman: BARNABAS! NOOO!
