Before anybody could respond to this ominous pronouncement, the dormitory doors opened again and Mr. and Mrs. Weasley hurried up the ward. They had done no more than satisfy themselves that Ron would make a full recovery on their last visit to the ward; now Mrs. Weasley siezed hold of Harry and hugged him very tightly. “Dumbledore’s told us how you saved him with the bezoar,” she sobbed. “Oh, Harry, what can we say? You saved Ginny . . . you saved Arthur . . . now you’ve saved Ron . . .”
“Don’t be . . . I didn’t . . .” muttered Harry awkwardly.
“Half our family does seem to owe you their lives, now I stop and think about it,” Mr. Weasley said in a constricted voice. “Well, all I can say is that it was a lucky day for the Weasleys when Ron decided to sit in your compartment on the Hogwarts Express, Harry.”

Xander: Hey! Buffy!
Willow: You missed it!
Buffy: Missed what?
Xander: We just saw the zebras mating! Thank you, very exciting…
Willow: It was like the Heimlich, with stripes!

“Why does the Council have so many rules?” Violet asked.
“Why does anyone have a lot of rules?” Hector said with a shrug. “So they can boss people around, I guess.”
A Series of Unfortunate Events: The Vile Village
Welcome to “Trailer Tuesday” where I talk about trailers for upcoming movies.
I’ve posted a lot of Guardians of the Galaxy since we got our first glimpse of it, and that’s not about to stop now. Today we’ve got three “final” trailers for the film, the first of which is actually a “viral” commercial for a Galaxy Getaways, while the second and the third are “extended looks” at the film. At this point, I doubt they could show us much more of the movie without delving into serious spoilers, and even some of these may be pushing the limit of how much people want to know before they see a film. They also give us a much better glimpse at the emotions and the characters of the film, along with several more complete scenes instead of just isolated clips. But let’s start with Galaxy Getaways
Miles O’Brien: Here’s to retaking the castle.
Julian Bashir: And planting our flag on its battlements once again.
Jadzia Dax: You two spend too much time in the holosuites.

“Er-my-nee,” croaked Ron unexpectedly from between them.
They all fell silent, watching him anxiously, but after muttering incomprehensibly for a moment he merely started snoring.

Buffy: We don’t even know if this is anything.
Giles: No, we don’t.
Buffy: And I haven’t had a day off in a while.
Giles: True…
Buffy: And a cranky Slayer is a careless Slayer!
Giles: Buffy, maintaining a normal social life as a Slayer… i-i-is problematic at best.
Buffy: This is the 90’s. The 1990’s, in point of fact, and I can do both. Clark Kent has a job. I just wanna go on a date.
Giles: Well, I, I suppose it was a fairly slim lead…
Buffy: Thank you, thank you, thank you! And look, I won’t go far, okay? If the apocalypse comes, beep me.

‘Murder’ is the word for a group of crows, like a flock of geese or a herd of cows or a convention of orthodontists.
