And all around these neatly lettered words, scribbles had been added by other witches and wizards who had come to see the place where the Boy Who Lived had escaped. Some had merely signed their names in Everlasting Ink; others had carved their initials into the wood, still others had left messages. The most recent of these, shining brightly over sixteen years’ worth of magical graffiti, all said similar things.

Good luck, Harry, wherever you are.
If you read this, Harry, we’re all behind you!
Long live Harry Potter.

“They shouldn’t have written on the sign!” said Hermione, indignant.
But Harry beamed at her.
“It’s brilliant. I’m glad they did.”

Buffy, Willow

Buffy:  I’m on a beach, but not one of those American beaches, one of those island beaches where the water’s way too blue, and I’m laying on my towel, and it’s just before sunset, and Gavin Rossdale’s massaging my feet!

Willow:  Oh, that’s good! Uh, I’m in Florence, Italy, I’ve rented a scooter that’s parked outside, and I’m in a little restaurant eating ziti, and there are no more tables left, so they have to seat this guy with me, and it’s John Cusack!

Buffy:  Ooo! Very impressive. You have such an eye for detail.

Willow:  ‘Cause with the ziti!

Xander:  What are you two up to?

Buffy:  Just having a quick game of ‘Anywhere But Here’.

Xander:  Ooohhh. Amy Yip at the waterslide park.

Willow:  You never come up with anything new.

Xander:  I’m just not fickle like you two, okay? I’m constant in my affections. Amy Yip at the waterslide park!

Willow:  Do you think Giles ever played ‘Anywhere But Here’ when he was in school?

Xander:  Giles lived for school. He’s actually still bitter that there are only twelve grades.

Buffy:  He probably sat in math class thinking, ‘There should be more math. This could be mathier.’

Willow:  C’mon, you don’t think he ever got restless as a kid?

Buffy:  Are you kidding? His diapers were tweed.

Barret Bonden, coxswain and captain of the maintop, was unusually young for his post; a fine open-looking creature, tough without brutality, cheerful, perfectly in his place and, of course, a prime seaman — bred to the sea from childhood. ‘Sit down, Bonden,’ said Jack, a little consciously, for what he was about to offer was the quarter-deck, no less, and the possibility of advancement to the very pinnacle o the sailor’s heirarchy. ‘I have been thinking . . . should you like to be rated midshipman?’

‘Why, no sir, not at all,’ answered Bonden at once, his teeth flashing in the gloom. ‘But I think you very kindly for your good opinion, sir.’

Benjamin Sisko: She’s a Dax. Sometimes they don’t think. They just do.

“So, have you got it?” Harry asked her, partly to remind her that he was there.
“Got — got what?” she said with a little start.
“What did we just go through all that for? The locket! Where’s the locket?”
“You got it?” shouted Ron, raising himself a little higher on his pillows. “No one tells me anything! Blimey, you could have mentioned it!”

Lie to Me

Buffy:  I don’t know what I’m supposed to say.

Giles:  You needn’t say anything.

Buffy:  It’d be simpler if I could just hate him. I think he wanted me to. I think it made it easier for him to be the villain of the piece. Really he was just scared.

Giles:  Yes, I suppose he was.

Buffy:  Nothing’s ever simple anymore. I’m constantly trying to work it out. Who to love or hate. Who to trust. It’s just, like, the more I know, the more confused I get.

Giles:  I believe that’s called growing up.

Buffy:  I’d like to stop then, okay?

Giles:  I know the feeling.

Buffy:  Does it ever get easy?

Giles:  You mean life?

Buffy:  Yeah. Does it get easy?

Giles:  What do you want me to say?

Buffy:  Lie to me.

Giles:  Yes, it’s terribly simple. The good guys are always stalwart and true, the bad guys are easily distinguished by their pointy horns or black hats, and, uh, we always defeat them and save the day. No one ever dies, and everybody lives happily ever after.

Buffy:  Liar.

In times of stress Jack Aubrey had two main reactions: he either became aggressive or he became amorous; he longed either for the violent catharsis of action or for that of making love. He loved a battle: he loved a wench.

“Snape, headmaster! Snape in Dumbledore’s study — Merlin’s pants!” she shrieked, making both Harry and Ron jump. She leapt up from the table and hurtled from the room, shouting as she went, “I’ll be back in a minute!”
“‘Merlin’s pants’?” repeated Ron, looking amused. “She must be upset.” He pulled the newspaper toward him and perused the article about Snape.
…
“Oh, here she is,” Ron added, craning around in his seat to watch Hermione reentering the kitchen. “And what in the name of Merlin’s most baggy Y Fronts was that about?”

Ezri Dax: I bumped into Captain Boday the other night.

Miles O’Brien: Captain Boday?

Julian Bashir: The Gallamite. Jadzia dated him.

Miles O’Brien: Oh, the toothy smile and the transparent skull?

Julian Bashir: That’s him….  Personally, I don’t know what Jadzia ever saw in the man.

Miles O’Brien: Well – his brains.

That baby is sore!

Willow:  Boy, we blend right in.

Xander:  In no way do we stick out like sore thumbs.

Angel:  Let’s look around. You guys check out downstairs.

Xander:  Sure thing, Bossy the cow!

Willow:  Okay, but do they really stick out?

Xander:  What?

Willow:  Sore thumbs. Do they stick out? I mean, have you ever seen a thumb and gone, ‘Wow! That baby is sore!’

Xander:  You have too many thoughts.
