Miles O’Brien: Me. Of all the people in the line-up he asks me who threw the first punch.
Julian Bashir: You lied to him.
Miles O’Brien: I lied to Captain Kirk! I wish Keiko could’ve been here to see it.

“People expect you to have cooler friends than us,” said Luna, once again displaying her knack for embarrassing honesty.
“You are cool,” said Harry shortly. “None of them was at the Ministry. They didn’t fight with me.”
“That’s a very nice thing to say,” beamed Luna.

Giles: So, all the city plans are just, uh, open to the public?
Willow: Um, well, i-in a way. I sort of stumbled onto them when I accidentally decrypted the city council’s security system.
Xander: Someone’s been naughty.

The expression “following suit” is a curious one, because it has nothing to do with walking behind a matching set of clothing. If you follow suit, it means you do the same thing somebody else has just done. If all of your friends decided to jump off a bridge into the icy waters of an ocean or river, for instance, and you jumped in right after them, you would be following suit. You can see why following suit can be a dangerous thing to do, because you could end up drowning simply because somebody else thought of it first.

Worf: I have completed my search of the primary habitat levels and. What is that sound?
Odo: Soothing isn’t it? The bartender called it a…
Worf: A tribble.
Odo: Sit down. You’re drawing attention.
Worf: Where did you get that thing?
Odo: From a man named Cyrano Jones. He told me tribbles like everyone, but this one doesn’t seem to like you.
Worf: The feeling’s! The feeling’s mutual. They are detestable creatures.
Odo: Interesting. It’s been my observation that most humanoids love soft, furry animals especially if they make pleasing sounds.
Worf: They do nothing but consume food and breed. If you feed that thing more than the smallest morsel, in a few hours you’ll have ten tribbles then a hundred then a thousand.
Odo: Calm down.
Worf: They were once considered mortal enemies of the Klingon Empire.
Odo: This? A mortal enemy of the Empire?
Worf: They were an ecological menace, a plague to be wiped out.
Odo: Wiped out? What are you saying?
Worf: Hundreds of warriors were sent to track them down throughout the galaxy. An armada obliterated the Tribbles’ homeworld. By the end of the twenty third century they had been eradicated.
Odo: Another glorious chapter of Klingon history. Tell me, do they still sing songs of the great tribble hunt?

“I liked the D.A.! I learned loads with you!”
“I enjoyed the meetings too,” said Luna serenely. “It was like having friends.”
This was one of those uncomfortable things Luna often said and which made Harry feel a squirming mixture of pity and embarrassment.

Giles: For as long as there have been vampires, there’s been the Slayer. One girl in all the world, a Chosen One.
Buffy: He loves doing this part.
Giles: Alright. The Slayer hunts vampires, Buffy is a Slayer, don’t tell anyone. Well, I think that’s all the vampire information you need.

Jadzia Dax: McCoy… Leonard McCoy!… I met him when he was a student at Ole Miss… I had a feeling he’d become a doctor – he had the hands of a surgeon.

“That’s three Galleons, nine Sickles, and a Knut,” said Fred, examining the many boxes in Ron’s arms. “Cough up.”
“I’m your brother!”
“And that’s our stuff you’re nicking. Three Galleons, nine Sickles. I’ll knock off the Knut.”
“But I haven’t got three Galleons, nine Sickles!”
“You’d better put it back then, and mind you put it on the right shelves.”
Ron dropped several boxes, swore, and made a rude hand gesture at Fred that was unfortunately spotted by Mrs. Weasley, who had chosen that moment to appear.
“If I see you do that again I’ll jinx your fingers together,” she said sharply.
