“It’s her,” Klaus said, speaking quietly so Hector wouldn’t hear him. “I’m sure of it. Isadora Quagmire wrote this poem.”
“I think so, too,” Violet said. “I’m positive it’s her handwriting.”
“Blake!” Sunny said, which meant “And the poem is written in Isadora’s distinct literary style!”

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.”

Willow: You missed it!
Buffy: Missed what?

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.

Worf: When we exchange vows, you must remember to present your d’k tahg to General Martok as a formal request for him to accept you into our House.
Jadzia Dax: But I don’t want to join his House.
Worf: What?
Jadzia Dax: I don’t want to get caught up in all those blood feuds. Every time a member of the House of Martok gets dishonoured or killed, I’ll have to drop whatever I’m doing and rush off on some quest for vengeance. It’s boring, Worf.
Worf: If you refuse, it will be a grave dishonour. General Martok will not understand.
Jadzia Dax: Worf, I’m joking.
Worf: So you will join our House?
Jadzia Dax: Of course I will.
Worf: I can see our lives together will not be easy.
Jadzia Dax: True. But they’ll be fun.
