‘Sir, sir,’ piped Babbington into Jack’s ear.
‘Hush, sweetheart,’ murmured his captain, whose dreaming mind was occupied with quite another sex. ‘Eh?’

Nog: Uh-oh…
Odo: What do you mean, “uh-oh”? We don’t have time for “uh-oh”.

She released Harry, leaned over the bannister, and screamed, “Ron! RON! Get up here, quick!”
Ron appeared, panting, a minute later, his wand ready in his hand.

Willow: Uh, Angel? If I say something you really don’t wanna hear, do you promise not to bite me?
Angel: Are you gonna tell me that I’m jealous?
Willow: Well, you do sometimes get that way.
Angel: You know, I never used to. Things used to be pretty simple. A hundred years, just hanging out, feelin’ guilty… I really honed my brooding skills. Then she comes along.

‘Did you notice my bowing in the pump-pump-pump piece?’ asked Jack.
‘I did indeed. Very sprightly, very agile. I noticed you neither struck the hanging shelf nor yet the lamp. I only grazed the locker once myself.’
‘I believe the great thing is not to think of it.’

Benjamin Sisko: You want to know? You really want to know what my problem is? I’ll tell you: Las Vegas, 1962. That’s my problem. In 1962, black people weren’t very welcome there! Oh, sure, they could be performers or janitors, but customers? Never!
Kasidy Yates: Maybe that’s the way it was in the real Vegas, but that’s not the way it is at Vic’s. I have never felt uncomfortable there, and neither has Jake.
Benjamin Sisko: But don’t you see?! That’s the lie! In 1962, the Civil Rights Movement was still in its infancy! It wasn’t an easy time for our people, and I’m not going to pretend that it was!
Kasidy Yates: Baby… I know that Vic’s isn’t a totally accurate representation of the way things were, but… it isn’t meant to be. It shows us the way things could have been – the way they should have been.
Benjamin Sisko: We cannot ignore the truth about the past.
Kasidy Yates: Going to Vic’s isn’t going to make us forget who we are or where we came from. What it does is reminds us that we are no longer bound by any limitations – except the ones we impose on ourselves.

Ron struggled for a moment before managing to extract his wand from his pocket.
“It’s no wonder I can’t get it out, Hermione, you packed my old jeans, they’re tight.”
“Oh, I’m so sorry,” hissed Hermione, and as she dragged the waitress out of sight of the windows, Harry heard her mutter a suggestion as to where Ron could stick his wand instead.

What I’d like to see from tomorrow’s Academy Award nominations
With the Academy Award nominations due to be announced tomorrow morning, most movie blogs and websites are busy trying to predict what names will be called before dawn. I don’t have the expertise to join them, nor have I seen enough films to really get a sense of how things will shake out. However, despite my feeling that 2014 was a bit of a dud at the movies, I still have some nominations I’d like to see in the morning. I’ve broken them down below into three general categories based on their likelihood, with some seemingly locks for a nomination, others possible but less likely, and others that will never happen no matter how much I want them to.

Buffy: It was terrible. I moped over you for months. Sitting in my room listening to that Divinyls song ‘I Touch Myself’….. Of course, I had no idea what it was about.
[at the end of the conversation]
Willow: (realizes) Oh, that’s what that song is about?!
