“However, we continue to hear truly inspirational stories of wizards and witches risking their own safety to protect Muggle friends and neighbors, often without the Muggles’ knowledge. I’d like to appeal to all our listeners to emulate their example, perhaps by casting a protective charm over any Muggle dwellings in your street. Many lives could be saved if such simple measures are taken.”

“And what would you say, Royal, to those listeners who reply that in these dangerous times, it should be ‘Wizards first’?” asked Lee.

“I’d say that it’s one short step from ‘Wizards first’ to ‘Purebloods first,’ and then to ‘Death Eaters,'” replied Kinglsey. “We’re all human, aren’t we? Every human life is worth the same, and worth saving.”

Buffy:  How is he?

Willow:  He’s shot! Are you okay?

Oz:  I, uh, I’m shot! Y’know. Wow! It’s odd! And painful.

Ever since Stephen Maturin had grown rich with their first prize he had constantly laid in great quantities of asafetida, castoreum and other substances, to make his medicines more revolting in taste, smell and texture than any others in the fleet; and he found it answered — his hardy patients knew with their entire beings that they were being physicked.

Quark: Whatever happened to survival of the fittest? Whatever happened to the rich getting richer and the poor getting poorer? Whatever happened to pure, unadulterated greed?

“What about Luna?”

“Well, if they’re telling the truth and she’s still alive —” began Ron.

“Don’t say that, don’t say it!” squealed Hermione. “She must be alive, she must!”

“Then she’ll be in Azkaban, I expect,” said Ron. “Whether she survives the place, though . . . Loads don’t. . . .”

“She will,” said Harry. He could not bear to contemplate the alternative. “She’s tough, Luna, much tougher than you’d think. She’s probably teaching all the inmates about Wrackspurts and Nargles.”

Oz:  Hey.

Willow:  Hey! Your hair! Is brown!

Oz:  Oh, yeah, sometimes. So, uh, did you decide? Are you gonna be a Corporate Computer Suit Guy?

Willow:  Oh. Uh, well, I-I think I’m gonna finish high school first. What about you?

Oz:  I’m not really a computer person, you know. Or a work of any kind person.

Willow:  They why’d they select you?

Oz:  Oh, I sorta test well. Y’know, which is cool. E-except that it leads to jobs.

Willow:  Well, don’t you have some ambition?

Oz:  Oh, yeah! Yeah. E-flat, diminished ninth.

Willow:  Huh?

Oz:  Well, the E-flat, it’s, it’s doable, but that diminished ninth, y’know, it’s a man’s chord. Now, you could lose a finger.

Stephen looked at him attentively, took his pulse, gazed at his tongue, asked squalid questions, examined him. ‘Is it a wound going bad?’ asked Jack, alarmed by his gravity.

‘It is a wound, if you wish,’ said Stephen. ‘But not from our battle with the Cacafuego. Some lady of your acquaintance has been too liberal with her favours, too universally kind.’

‘Oh, Lord,’ cried Jack, to whom this had never happened before.

Julian Bashir: One thing’s for sure: Sloan knew he had the perfect bait, that I wouldn’t be able to resist it. But there was one thing he failed to consider.

Miles O’Brien: And what’s that?

Julian Bashir: You. To Miles Edward O’Brien!

Miles O’Brien: To friendship. Well, I’d better get home. Keiko is holding dinner for me.

Julian Bashir: This late?

Miles O’Brien: Yeah, well, she’s a helluva woman.

Julian Bashir: That’s why you love her.

Miles O’Brien: M-hm, that’s right – that’s why I love her… You wanna come?

Julian Bashir: Sure.

Luna had decorated her bedroom ceiling with five beautifully painted faces: Harry, Ron, Hermione, Ginny, and Neville. They were not moving as the portraits at Hogwarts moved, but there was a certain magic about them all the same: Harry thought they breathed. What appeared to be fine golden chains wove around the pictures, linking them together, but after examining them for a minute or so, Harry realized that the chains were actually one word, repeated a thousand times in golden ink: friends . . . friends . . . friends . . .

Harry felt a great rush of affection for Luna.

Kendra:  I study because it is required. The Slayer handbook insists on it.

Willow:  There’s a Slayer handbook?

Buffy:  Wait. Handbook? What handbook? How come I don’t have a handbook?

Willow:  Is there a T-shirt, too? ‘Cause that would be cool…
