Xander: Oh, don’t I wish I had the answer to *that* question.
Willow: Xander kinda found himself in front of our class not wearing much of anything.
Xander: Except my underwear.
Willow: (laughs) Yeah! It was really… (looks at Xander) …bad. It was a bad thing.
Xander: ‘Bad thing’? I was naked. ‘Bad thing’ doesn’t cover it.
Willow: Everyone staring? I would hate to have everyone paying attention to me like that.
Xander: With nudity!

“Like me,” Sunny said, and abruptly stood up. Violet and Klaus gasped in surprise as their baby sister took her first wobbly steps, and then walked closely beside her, ready to catch her if she fell.
But she didn’t fall. Sunny took a few more self-sustaining steps, and then the three Baudelaires stood together, casting long shadows across the horizon in the dying light of the sunset.

“But I haven’t got uncommon skill and power,” said Harry, before he could stop himself.
“Yes, you have,” said Dumbledore firmly. “You have a power that Voldemort has never had. “You can —”
“I know!” said Harry impatiently. “I can love!” It was only with difficulty that he stopped himself adding, “Big deal!”
“Yes, Harry, you can love,” said Dumbledore, who looked as though he knew perfectly well what Harry had just refrained from saying. “Which, given everything that has happened to you, is a great and remarkable thing. You are still too young to understand how unusual you are, Harry.”
“So, when the prophecy says that I’ll have ‘power the Dark Lord knows not,’ it just means — love?” asked harry, feeling a little let down.
“Yes — just love,” said Dumbledore.

“Who are those other two?” asked an Elder in the crowd.
“Who cares?” said Mrs. Morrow, and waved her torch. “They’re probably more accomplices! Let’s burn them at the stake, too!”

A Series of Unfortunate Events: The Vile Village
Sometimes when you go out to a nice restaurant you want the newest, most exciting thing on the menu. You want something that will challenge your taste buds, something surprising and original, which gives you unique ingredients in unforeseen combinations, blowing your mind with its creativity. Other times you want something intimately familiar, a favorite dish you’ve ordered countless times before. It may familiar and routine, but while the mind craves the new sometimes the heart longs for the familiar. The same could be said for film. In The Hundred-Foot Journey, the characters spend their days trying to reconcile the new and creative with the old and familiar. As for the movie itself there’s little new to shock and surprise, but in its familiarity the film feels intimate and reassuring, hitting all of the familiar beats of a dish that we may know very well yet is still wonderfully crafted and a joy to eat.
