Julian Bashir: I work for one of the nation-states of this era, Great Britain, which is battling various other nations in what is called the Cold War. This apartment, my clothes, weapons, even my valet were provided to me by my government.
Garak: I think I joined the wrong intelligence service.

“How would it be,” she asked them coldly as they left the classroom for break (Binns drifting away through the blackboard), “if I refused to lend you my notes this year?”
“We’d fail our O.W.L.s,” said Ron. “If you want that on your conscience, Hermione. . . .”
“Well, you’d deserve it,” she snapped. “You don’t even try to listen to him, do you?”
“We do try,” said Ron. “We just haven’t got your brains or your memory or your concentration — you’re just cleverer than we are — is it nice to rub it in?”
“Oh, don’t give me that rubbish,” said Hermione, but she looked slightly mollified as she led the way out into the damp courtyard.

When somebody is a little bit wrong–say, when a waiter puts nonfat milk in your espresso macchiato, instead of lowfat milk–it is often quite easy to explain to them how and why they are wrong. But if somebody is surpassingly wrong–say, when a waiter bites your nose instead of taking your order–you can often be so surprised that you are unable to say anything at all.

Trolls: Everyone’s a bit of a fixer upper
That’s what it’s all about!
Father! Sister! Brother!
We need each other
To raise us up and round us out!
Everyone’s a bit of a fixer upper
But when push comes to shove…
The only fixer upper fixer that can fix a fixer upper is…
True!
True!
True, true, true!
Love!

Kira Nerys: What do Klingons dream about?
Worf: Things that would send cold chills down your spine, and wake you in the middle of the night. No, it is better that you do not know. Excuse me.
Kira Nerys: I can never tell when he’s joking.

“Been having a nice little chat with her about whether or not I’m a lying, attention-seeking prat, have you?” Harry said loudly.
“No,” said Hermione calmly, “I told her to keep her big fat mouth shut about you, actually. And it would be quite nice if you stopped jumping down Ron’s and my throats, Harry, because if you haven’t noticed, we’re on your side.”
There was a short pause.
“Sorry,” said Harry in a low voice.
“That’s quite all right,” said Hermione with dignity.

Uncle Monty taught them how to handle the Inky Newt without getting its black dye all over their fingers, and how to tell when the Irascible Python was grumpy and better left alone. He taught them not to give the Green Gimlet Toad too much water, and to never, under any circumstances let the Virginian Wolfsnake near a typewriter.

Kristoff: Reindeers are better than people
Sven, don’t you think that’s true?
Kristoff (as Sven): “Yeah, people will beat you
And curse you and cheat you
Every one of ’em’s bad except you.”
Kristoff:Aww, thanks buddy
But people smell better than reindeers
Sven, don’t you think I’m right?
Kristoff (as Sven): “That’s once again true
For all except you.”
Kristoff: You got me. Let’s call it a night.
Kristoff (as Sven): “Good night.”
Kristoff: Don’t let the frostbite bite.

Miles O’Brien: She says that I’m trying to live like a bachelor again. That I’m expressing a subconscious desire to push her out of our quarters.”
Julian Bashir: Now, that is ridiculous! I mean, if anything, by spending your free time in the bedroom, a place you intimately associate with Keiko, you’re actually expressing a desire to be closer to her, during her absence. It’s quite touching, really!
Miles O’Brien: Exactly! Exactly! See, you understand! Now why can’t she see that? Why can’t she be more like, uh…
Julian Bashir: More like…?
Miles O’Brien: Err, um, a man, more like a man.
Julian Bashir: So. You wish Keiko was a man.
Miles O’Brien: I wish I was on this trip with someone else, that’s what I wish.
