Quote of the Day

He spun around. Albus Dumbledore was walking toward him, sprightly and upright, wearing sweeping robes of midnight blue.

“Harry.” He spread his arms wide, and his hands were both whole and white and undamaged. “You wonderful boy. You brave, brave man. Let us walk.”

Jayne: Testing. Testing. Captain, can you hear me?

Mal: I’m standing right here. 

Jayne: You’re coming through good and loud. 

Mal: ‘Cause I’m standing right here. 

Jayne: Yeah, well… but the transmitter’s…

Quote of the Day

‘Come, come, there is not a moment to lose; I make my rounds at seven bells. One, two, three,’ he cried, tapping his foot, and the cabin was filled with the opening movement of Boccherini’s Corelli sonata, a glorious texture of sound, the violin sending up brilliant jets through the ‘cello’s involutions, and they soared up and away from the grind of pumps, the tireless barking, the problems of command, up, the one answering the other, joining, separating, twining, rising into their native air.

Xander: Finding out who this thing is takes priority. Cordy, you should go with Giles. 

Giles: Why do I have to have…? (looks at Cordelia) Uh, good thinking. I-I-I could do with a research assistant. 

Cordelia: Let’s go, tact-guy.

Quote of the Day

“You’ve been so brave.”

He could not speak. His eyes feasted on her, and he thought that he would like to stand and look at her forever, and that would be enough.

“You are nearly there,” said James. “Very close. We are . . . so proud of you.”

“Does it hurt?”

The childish question had fallen from Harry’s lips before he could stop it.

“Dying? Not at all,” said Sirius. “Quicker and easier than falling asleep.”

“And he will want it to be quick. He wants it over,” said Lupin.

“I didn’t want you to die,” Harry said. These words came without his volition. “Any of you. I’m sorry —”

He addressed Lupin more than any of them, beseeching him.

“— right after you’d had your son . . . Remus, I’m sorry —”

“I am sorry too,” said Lupin. “Sorry I will never know him . . . but he will know why I died and I hope he will understand. I was trying to make a world in which he could live a happier life.”

A chilly breeze that seemed to emanate from the heart of the forest lifted the hair at Harry’s brow. He know that they would not tell him to go, that it would have to be his decision.

“You’ll stay with me?”

“Until the very end,” said James.

“They won’t be able to see you?” asked Harry.

“We are part of you,” said Sirius. “Invisible to anyone else.”

Harry looked at his mother.

“Stay close to me,” he said quietly.

And he set off.

Patience: We can deal. I’ll upload coordinates for a rendezvous point outside of town.

Mal: See you in the world. (Mal ends the transmission, followed by a long pause.) I believe that woman’s planning to shoot me again.

Jayne: She meant to pay you, she’d’a haggled you down some.

Wash: Just a little effort to hide it would’ve been —

Zoe: Sir, we don’t have to deal with her.

Mal: Yes, we do.

Jayne: Here’s a little concept I been workin’ on. Why don’t we shoot her first?

Wash: It is her turn.

Quote of the Day

‘As for mutinies in general,’ said Stephen, ‘I am all in favour of ’em. You take men from their homes or their chosen occupations, you confine them in insalubrious conditions upon a wholly inadequate diet, you subject them to the tyranny of bosun’s mates, you expose them to unimagined perils; what is more, you defraud them of their meagre food, pay and allowances — everything but this sacred rum of yours. Had I been at Spithead, I should certainly have joined the mutineers. Indeed, I am astonished at their moderation.’

‘Pray, Stephen, do not speak like this, nattering about the service; it makes me so very low.’

Quote of the Day

Willow: Oh, yeah, I’m good at medical stuff since Xander and I used to play doctor all the time.

Xander: No, she’s being literal. She used to have all these medical volumes, uh, and diagnosed me with stuff. I didn’t have the heart to tell her she was playing it wrong.

Willow: Wrong? Why? (to Buffy) How did *you* play doctor?

Buffy: (evasively) I never have.
