Quark: A-ha, I knew it! When I saw the two of you slip out, I said to myself, that no-good, misanthropic, cantankerous changeling is trying to sneak off the station without anyone noticing.
Odo: That was the idea.
Quark: Well, it’s not gonna happen, is it?
Odo: Apparently not.
Quark: So – now that I’m here… is there something you want to say to me?
Odo: Such as?
Quark: Such as… ‘Goodbye. You certainly were a worthy adversary.’ Or maybe something with the words ‘mutual respect’ in it.
Odo: No.
Quark: No? What do you mean, no?
Odo: I mean, no. I have nothing I want to say to you.
Quark: You telling me that after all these years, after all we’ve been through, you’re not even gonna say goodbye to me?
Odo: That’s right. Nerys, I’ll be on the runabout.
Kira Nerys: Don’t take it hard, Quark.
Quark: Hard? What’re you talking about? That man loves me! Couldn’t you see? It was written all over his back.
Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, Season 7: Episode 25 – “What You Leave Behind”
“That’s when they decided there was only one way to stop me, I suppose, and they went for Gran.”
“They what?” said Harry, Ron, and Hermione together.
“Yeah,” said Neville, panting a little now, because the passage was climbing so steeply, “well, you can see their thinking. It had worked really well, kidnapping kids to force their relatives to behave, I s’pose it was only a matter of time before they did it the other way around. Thing was,” he faced them, and Harry was astonished to see that he was grinning, “they bit off a bit more than they could chew with Gran. Little old witch living alone, they probably thought they didn’t need to send anyone particularly powerful. Anyway,” Neville laughed, “Dawlish is still in St Mungo’s and Gran’s on the run. She sent me a letter,” he clapped a hand to the breast pocket of his robes, “telling me she was proud of me, that I’m my parents’ son, and to keep it up.”

(Xander drops his egg)
Willow: It didn’t break! How come it didn’t break?
Xander: Which is another secret to conscientious egg care: pot of scalding water and about eight minutes.
Willow: You boiled your young?
Xander: Yeah! I know it sounds cruel, but sometimes you gotta be cruel to be kind! I mean, you can bet that little Xander here is thick skinned now.
Giles: Technically that would be cheating, yes?
Xander: No! It’s like a short cut. You know, when you run a race?
Buffy: That would also be cheating.
Willow: You should be ashamed.
Giles: I suppose there is a sort of… Machiavellian ingenuity to your transgression.
Xander: I resent that! Or possibly thank you.
