Kirk: Do you know the one, ‘All I ask is a tall ship’?
McCoy: It’s a line from a poem. A very old poem, isn’t it?
Kirk: 20th century Earth. ‘All I ask is a tall ship, and a star to steer her by’. You could feel the wind at your back in those days. The sounds of the sea beneath you. And even if you take away the wind and the water, it’s still the same. The ship is yours. You can feel her. And the stars are still there, Bones.

Willow: It’s horrible! That’s me as a vampire? I’m so evil and… skanky… and I think I’m kinda gay.
Buffy: Willow, just remember, a vampire’s personality has nothing to do with the person it was.
Angel: Well, actually… (Buffy shoots him a look) That’s a good point.

Lorelai: There goes the fire chief, the police chief and the one paramedic with a valid license. I feel safe, don’t you?
Luke: Look at them, all relatively intelligent men, but there they are dressed up in costumes, standing out in a snowstorm, and for what?
Lorelai: Because it’s tradition.
Luke: Tradition is a trap, it allows people to stick their head in the sand. Everything in the past was so quaint, so charming. Times were simpler. Kids didn’t have sex. Neighbors knew each other. It’s a freaking fairy tale. Things sucked then, too. It just sucked without indoor plumbing.
