Jadzia Dax: What is it Worf? What’s wrong?

Worf: It is about our wedding.

Jadzia Dax: You’re getting cold feet.

Worf: You have scheduled the ritual sacrifice of the targ to occur after the wedding feast has been served.

Jadzia Dax: We haven’t seen each other in five weeks, and that’s the first thing you say to me?

Worf: We agreed it would be a traditional ceremony.

Jadzia Dax: Okay, have it your way. First we’ll shed blood, then we’ll feast.

Worf: As it should be.

Martok: He has been unable to talk about anything else for days.

Jadzia Dax: He’s such a worrier.

Benjamin Sisko: Take my advice, old man. A small wedding is the way to go.

Jadzia Dax: You get married the way you want, and I’ll get married the way I want. I’ll see you later, Captain

Benjamin Sisko: Try not to break any bones.

Harry spun on the spot, lost balance, and nearly fell over.  He was not the only one.  The whole Hall was suddenly full of staggering people; Neville was flat on his back; Ernie Macmillan, on the other hand, had done a kind of pirouetting leap into his hoop and looked momentarily thrilled, until he caught sight of Dean Thomas roaring with laughter at him.

Buffy:  Well, we’ll be ready whenever it is.

Giles:  Which is tonight.

Buffy:  Tonight, okay… Not okay! It can’t be tonight!

Giles:  My calculations are precise.

Buffy:  Nuh! They’re bad calculations! Bad!

Willow:  Buffy has a really important date.

Buffy:  Owen!

Giles:  Alright, I-I’ll just jump in my time machine, go back to the twelfth century and ask the vampires to postpone their ancient prophecy for a few days while you take in dinner and a show.

Buffy:  Okay, at this point you’re abusing sarcasm.

Giles:  Buffy, this is no ordinary vampire. But we have to stop him before he reaches the Master.

Buffy:  But… Cute guy! Teenager! Post-pubescent fantasies!

Giles:  Those will just have to be put on hold! The dark forces are aligning against us, and we have a chance to beat them back. Tonight we go into battle!

[Cut to the graveyard. Giles and Buffy are sitting on a large gravestone.]

Giles:  Perhaps I miscalculated.

Buffy:  I’m thinking yes.

The quoting of an aphorism, like the angry barking of a dog or the smell of overcooked broccoli, rarely indicates that something helpful is about to happen.  An aphorism is merely a small group of words arranged in a certain order because they sound good that way, but oftentimes people tend to say them as if they were saying something very mysterious and wise.

Jake Sisko: Come on, Nog.

Nog: No.

Jake Sisko: Why not?

Nog: It’s my money, Jake. If you want to bid at the auction, use your own money.

Jake Sisko: I’m human, I don’t have any money.

Nog: It’s not my fault that your species decided to abandon currency-based economics in favour of some philosophy of self-enhancement.

Jake Sisko: Hey, watch it. There’s nothing wrong with our philosophy. We work to better ourselves and the rest of humanity.

Nog: What does that mean exactly?

Jake Sisko: It means… It means we don’t need money.

Nog: Well if you don’t need money, then you certainly don’t need mine.

Jake Sisko: How much latinum do you have? How much?

Nog: Five bars.

Jake Sisko: Five bars!

Nog: Look, it’s taken me a lifetime to save up that much money, and I’m not going to just throw it away for some baseball card.

Jake Sisko: Not even for my father, the man who made it possible for you to enter Starfleet Academy.

Nog: Oh no, that’s not fair.

Jake Sisko: The man who believed in you when no one else would.

Nog: Oh, this is so low.

Jake Sisko: I can’t believe you would rather keep your filthy money locked away in a box under a bed than use it to give him endless moments of happiness.

Nog: Argh! All right, all right. I’ll do it.

Jake Sisko: That’s very generous, Nog. I’m proud of you. Now let’s get that money.

Nog: Hew-mons.

“Ah, Harry, how often this happens, even between the best of friends!  Each of us believes that what he has to say is much more important than anything the other might have to contribute!”

Buffy:  It’s not that big a deal. It’s just a bunch of people getting together.

Willow:  It’s a very big deal!

Buffy:  It’s not!

Willow:  It is. (spots Giles) Tell her!

Giles:  I’m afraid it’s very big.

Willow:  Thank you! Wait! What are you talking about?

Giles:  What are *you* talking about?

Buffy and Willow:  Boys!

A newspaper, as I’m sure you know, is a collection of supposedly true stories written down by writers who either saw them happen or talked to people who did.  These writers are called journalists, and like telephone operators, butchers, ballerinas, and people who clean up after horses, journalists can sometimes make mistakes.

“He accused me of being ‘Dumbledore’s man through and through.'”

“How very rude of him.”
“I told him I was.”

Dumbledore opened his mouth to speak and then closed it again.  Behind Harry, Fawkes the phoenix let out a low, soft, musical cry.  To Harry’s intense embarassment, he suddenly realized that Dumbledore’s bright blue eyes looked rather watery, and stared hastily at his own knees.  When Dumbledore spoke, however, his voice was quite steady.

“I am very touched, Harry.”
