Wash: Kaylee! Kaylee! Go to blackout, we’re being buzzed!
Kaylee: Shi. (Affirmative.) Going dark.
(Shuts down the power, plunging the engine room into darkness.)
Kaylee: Ok, now I can’t get down
Firefly: Episode 1 – “Serenity”
Jurassic Park is one of my all-time favorite movies, but I also believe it’s one of the most important films in the history of cinema. It ushered in a new era of filmmaking and box office blockbusters, where anything an artist could envision could appear convincingly on the screen, while setting a standard for visual effects that is still unmatched. It was also one of my most memorable moviegoing experiences, and to an entire generation of people my age it was our Star Wars. It inspired us and filled us with wonder, while delivering a story, characters, and a universe that captured our imaginations and dominated the pop culture landscape. It also had dinosaurs. Jurassic World was seemingly inevitable, particularly in today’s nostalgia-obsessed world. Take one of the most popular franchises of all time and update it, bringing the most modern visual effects and most popular stars to the series, and the result has been the biggest box office smash of all time. It’s also a mess.
“I shall expect you and the Slytherins in the Great Hall in twenty minutes, also,” said Professor McGonagall. “If you wish to leave with your students, we shall not stop you. But if any of you attempt to sabotage our resistance or take up arms against us within the castle, then, Horace, we duel to kill.”

Giles: It’s not over. I-I-I suppose you know that. He’ll come after you, particularly. His profile, uh, well, he… he’s likely to strike out at the things that made him the most human.
Buffy: You must be so disappointed in me.
Giles: No. No, no, I’m not.
Buffy: But this is all my fault.
Giles: No. I don’t believe it is. Do you want me to wag my finger at you and tell you that you acted rashly? You did. A-and I can. I know that you loved him. And… he… has proven more than once that he loved you. You couldn’t have known what would happen. The coming months a-are gonna, are gonna be hard… I, I suspect on all of us, but… if it’s guilt you’re looking for, Buffy, I’m, I’m not your man. All you will get from me is, is my support. And my respect.

Sometimes Mrs Williams wondered whether he really were quite the thing — whether those strange tales about sea-officers might possibly be true in his case. Was it not very odd that he should live with Dr Maturin?

Wash: Everything looks good from here.
Wash (as Stegosaurus): Yes… Yes… This is a fertile land and we will thrive. We will rule over all this land and we will call it… this land.
Wash (as T-Rex): I think we should call it your grave!
Wash (as Stegosaurus): Ahh! Curse your sudden but inevitable betrayal!
Wash (as T-Rex): Ha ha ha! Mine is an evil laugh! Now die! Rawr!
Wash (as Stegosaurus): Ahh! No god! Dear god in heaven!

“You’re acting on Dumbledore‘s orders?” she repeated with a look of dawning wonder. Then she drew herself up to her fullest height.
“We shall secure the school against He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named while you search for this — this object.”
“Is that possible?”
“I think so,” said Professor McGonagall dryly, “we teachers are rather good at magic, you know.”
