Spock: A time portal, Captain. A gateway to other times and dimensions, if I’m correct.

Spock: Really?
Kirk: Annoyed, Spock?
Star Trek — Season 1: Episode 28 — “The City on the Edge of Forever”
Xander: But… It’s just that it’s buggin’ me, this ‘cool’ thing. I mean, what is it? How do you get it? Who doesn’t have it? And who decides who doesn’t have it? What is the essence of cool?
Oz: Not sure.
Xander: I mean, you yourself, Oz, are considered more or less cool. Why is that?
Oz: Am I?
Xander: Is it about the talking? You know, the way you tend to express yourself in short, noncommittal phrases?
Oz: Could be.
Xander: I know! You’re in a band! That’s like a business-class ticket to cool with complementary mojo after takeoff! I gotta learn an instrument. Is it hard to play guitar?
Oz: Not the way I play it.
Xander: Okay, but on the other hand: eighth grade. I’m taking the flügelhorn and gettin’ zero trim. So the whole instrument thing could be a mislead. But you need a thing, one thing nobody else has. What do I have?
Oz: An exciting new obsession. Which I feel makes you very special.

Mal: This is the last time. Last time with cows. Hear there was an idea regarding beagles? They have smallish droppings?

Mal: Better go take their money.

Buffy: Uh, what do we do with the trio here? Should we burn them?

(Everyone looks at her)
Willow: Occasionally, I’m callous and strange.
Buffy the Vampire Slayer — Season 3: Episode 13 — “The Zeppo”
Kirk: What would you say the odds on our getting out of here?
Spock: Difficult to be precise, Captain. I should say approximately 7,824.7 to 1.
Kirk: Difficult to be precise? 7,824 to 1?
Spock: 7,824.7 to 1.
Kirk: That’s a pretty close approximation.
Spock: I endeavour to be accurate.
Kirk: You do quite well.
