Kirk: He didn’t ask for what happened to him.
Spock: I felt for him, too.
Kirk: I believe there’s some hope for you after all, Mister Spock.

Giles: There’s a Watchers’ retreat every year in the Cotswolds. It’s a lovely spot. It’s very serene. There’s horse riding and hiking and punting and lectures and discussions. It-i-it’s… it’s a great honor to be invited. Or so I’m told.
Faith: Oh, it’s boring. Way too stuffy for a guy like you.
Buffy: Um, maybe I should introduce you again. Faith, this is *Giles*.
Faith: I see him. If I’d’ve known they came *that* young and cute, I would’ve requested a transfer.
Buffy: Raise your hand if ‘ew’.
Giles: Well, um, uh, leaving aside for a moment my, uh, youth and beauty, I’d-I’d say it was, um, fortuitous that Faith arrived when she did.
Willow: Aha! (They all look at her) Sorry. I just meant… aha! There’s big evil brewin’. You’ll never be bored here, Faith. ‘Cause this is Sunnydale, home of the big brewin’ evil.

Wash: Seem to you we cleared out of Santo in a hurry?
Zoe: Seems we do that a lot. Heard tell though, we’re going to stay a while on Persephone.
Wash: Shiny.
Zoe: Yeah? Thought you’d get land crazy that long in port.
Wash: Probably, but I’ve been sane a long while now, and change is good.
Mal: (entering the bridge) Well, ain’t that a joyful sight?
Wash: Gotta love a sunset.
Zoe: Starting to get familiar too, like a second home.
Mal: Persephone ain’t home. Too many people we got to avoid. Re-supply, look for work, move along. Sniff the air, we don’t kiss the dirt.
Zoe: Wasn’t planning on the dirt-kissing, sir.
Wash: Besides, I wouldn’t stand for it anyway, Captain, jealous man like me. (alarm sounds) Closing in.
Zoe: Planet’s coming up a mite fast.
Wash: That’s just cause, I’m going down too quick. Likely crash and kill us all.
Mal: Well, that happens, let me know.

Spock: I’ll have you checkmated your next move.
Kirk: Have I ever mentioned you play a very irritating game of chess, Mister Spock?
Spock: Irritating? Ah, yes. One of your Earth emotions.
(Kirk makes an unexpected move)
Kirk: Certain you don’t know what irritation is?
Spock: The fact one of my ancestors married a human female …
Kirk: Terrible having bad blood like that.

Oz: Something occurring. Uh, now, you both kill vamps, and who could blame you, but, I’m, I’m wondering about your position on werewolves.
Willow: Oz is a werewolf.
Buffy: It’s a long story.
Oz: I got bit.
Buffy: Apparently not that long.
Faith: Hey, as long as you don’t go scratchin’ at me or humpin’ my leg, we’re five-by-five, you know?
Oz: Fair enough.

‘I have your plates,’ he said, holding out a green-baize parcel.
‘Oh, thank you, thank you, Stephen. What a good fellow you are. Here’s elegance, damn my eyes. How they shine! Oh, oh,’ his face fell. ‘Stephen, I do not like to seem ungrateful, but I did say hawser-laid, you know. The border was to be hawser-laid.’
‘Well, and did I not say, “Let there be a hawser about the periphery” and did he not say, the shopman, God’s curse upon him, the thief, “Here, sir, is as pretty a hawser as Lord Viscount Nelson himself could desire”?’
‘And so it is. A capital hawser. But surely my dear Stephen, you must be aware, after all this time at sea, that a hawser is cable-laid, not hawser-laid?’
‘I am not. And I absolutely decline to hear more of the matter. A hawser not hawser-laid — what stuff. I badger the silversmith early and late, and we are to be told that hawsers are not hawser-laid. No, no. The wine is drawn, it must be drunk. The frog has neither feathers nor wool, and yet she sings. You will have to sail up to the Downs, eating the bread of affliction off your cable-laid baubles, and wetting it with the tears if misery; and I may tell you, sir, that you will eat it without me.’

Mal: There’s a chance you might want to head back to the ship.
Inara: Oh, I’m all right. This is entertaining, actually.
Mal: Yeah? What’s entertaining?
Inara: I like watching the game. As with other situations, the key seems to be giving Jayne a heavy stick and standing back.
Mal: Still, might ought to clear out before too much longer. Seems there’s a thief about.
Inara: A thief?
Mal: Took this right off him. (hands Inara stolen money) Now they earned that with the sweat of their slave-trading brows.
Inara: Mal…
Mal: Aw, terrible shame. Course they won’t discover it till they go order their next round of drinks.
Wright: (in Chinese, grabbing Mal’s shoulder) Way! [“Hey!”]
Mal: Good drinker, that one.
(a fight breaks out)
Inara: (to the bartender) Lovely place, I’ll tell my friends.

The last trace of steam evaporated in the autumn air. The train rounded a corner. Harry’s hand was still raised in farewell.
“He’ll be all right,” murmured Ginny.
As Harry looked at her, he lowered his hand absentmindedly and touched the lightning scar on his forehead.
“I know he will.”
The scar had not pained Harry for nineteen years. All was well.

Buffy: So let me get this straight. I’m really back in school because the school board *overruled* you. Wow. That’s like having your whole ability to do this job called into question, when you think about it.
Joyce: I think what my daughter’s trying to say is… Nyah-nyah-nyah nyah.

The lines seemed to crackle with life and happiness, but still the swam. ‘Wish me joy!’ Well, so I do, too. ‘You will never guess the news I have to tell you!’ Oh yes I shall, brother: pray do not use so many points of admiration. ‘I have the best part of a wife!! viz, her heart!!’ Stephen sniffed again. An intolerably tedious description of Miss Williams, whom Stephen knew a good deal better than Captain Aubrey — her appearance, virtues. ‘So direct — straightforward — nothing hole in the corner, if you understand me — no damned purser’s tricks — must not swear, however, — like a 32 lber.’ Could he really have likened Sophie to a thirty-two pounder? It was quite possible. How the lines did swim. ‘He must not speak disrespectfully of his putative mother-in-law, but . . . ‘ What did Jack imagine putative to mean?
