Bailey: Raising my voice back there doesn’t mean I was scared or couldn’t do my job. It means I happen to have a human thing called an adrenaline gland.
Spock: It does sound most inconvenient, however. Have you considered having it removed?
Bailey: Very funny.
Sulu: You try to cross brains with Spock, he’ll cut you to pieces every time.

Willow: Okay. Now, he’s had his two o’clock feeding, and, uh, after sunrise, if he forgets where his clothes are, they’re on top of the file cabinet in his cage. I put those towels up for privacy.
Xander: Uh, no worries. I can handle the Oz Full Monty. I mean, not ‘handle’ handle, like ‘hands to flesh’ handle.
Willow: Mm, okay. Well, it’s not for you. It’s for me, ’cause I’m still getting used to half a Monty.
Xander: Oh. Good…. Half? You and Oz? Which half?
Willow: Wouldn’t *you* like to know?
Buffy the Vampire Slayer — Season 3: Episode 4 — “Beauty and the Beasts”
The 88th Academy Award nominations will be announced tomorrow morning, with the ceremony scheduled for February 28th, hosted (for the second time) by Chris Rock. 2015 was a pretty good year for movies, both the big box-office smashes and the smaller films, and as always I have some things I want to see from tomorrow’s nominations. These are not predictions, but simply films I’d like to be recognized in certain categories were this an ideal world. I’ve split them up into nominees that are at least possible versus ones that I know have no conceivable chance. So read on for my Oscar nomination wish list, and then leave me a comment and let me know what you hope to see!
‘How I wish I had held my tongue,’ thought Sophie. She looked anxiously at Stephen as he sat there, bent and staring into the red cavern under the log. ‘Poor dear thing,’ she thought, ‘how very much he is in need of darning — how very much he needs someone to look after him. He really is not fit to wander about the world along; it is so hard to unworldly people. How could she have been so cruel? It was like hitting a child. A child. How little learning does for a man — he knows almost nothing: he had but to say “Pray be so good as to marry me” last summer and she would have cried “Oh yes, if you please”. I told him so. Not that she would ever have made him happy, the . . .’ Bitch was the word that struggled to make itself heard; but it struggled in vain.
HMS Surprise – Patrick O’Brian
Kaylee: Oh, look at the pretties!
Wash: What am I looking at, the girls or the clothes?
Jayne: There’s girls?
Zoe: The clothes, please.
Kaylee: Say, look at the fluffy one.
Zoe: Too much foofaraw. If I’m going to wear a dress, I’d want something with some slink.
Wash: You want a slinky dress? I can buy you a slinky dress. Captain, can I have money for a slinky dress?
Jayne: I’ll chip in.
Zoe: I can hurt you.
Firefly – Episode 4 – “Shindig”
Kirk: You could see the alarm lights flashing from there, McCoy. Why didn’t you tell me?
Bones: Finally finished a physical on you, didn’t I. (Kirk leaves) What am I, a doctor or a moon shuttle conductor? If I jumped every time a light came on around here, I’d end up talking to myself.
Star Trek – Season 1: Episode 2 – “The Corbomite Maneuver”
Willow: And over here, we have the cafeteria, where we were mauled by snakes.
Xander: And this is the spot where Angel tried to kill Willow.
Willow: Oh, and over there in the lounge is where Spike and his gang nearly massacred us all on Parent-Teacher night. Oh, a-and up those stairs, I was sucked into a muddy grave.
Xander: And they say young people don’t learn anything in high school nowadays, but, um, I’ve learned to be afraid.
Faith: You guys are a hoot and a half. If I’d had friends like you in high school, I… probably still would’ve dropped out. But I might’ve been sad about it, you know?
