‘Oh no,’ said the man who appeared to be in charge, in that he was carrying the biggest gun. ‘Not until you tell us why you’re here, and how you penetrated our defences.’

‘Did we? They’re not very good defences, are they? Have you thought about new ones?’

“Rodney?” Elizabeth is looking at him meaningfully from behind a line of Marines.
“Would you care to explain the situation?”

“No! No, I wouldn’t!” Rodney snaps. “Because I don’t have any idea!”

“So, is there anything funny going on around here? Any mysterious disappearances? Or appearances? Any injustices in need of correction?”

Rodney wonders if he’s crazy. He certainly looks like he could be. “No,” he says warily, bending his knees slightly so that he can run indoors if the man makes any crazy movements. “Not really.”

“Ah,” the man says. “Nice change, that.”

“There was a war. A really big war. The kind of really big that make words like ‘really’ and ‘big’ seem very silly.”

“I was expecting pizza,” she said, pening the door.

“I must be a terrible disappointment.”

“Don’t know about you, Gene,” Sam say, looking inordinately pleased with himself. “But I’m perfectly comfortable in my sexuality.”

“Poofter.”

“Neanderthal.”

“What is it with you and difficult women, Richard?”

“I had my lifetime allotment of easy ones in college?” The instant the words left his mouth, he groaned and dropped his face into his palm.

Johnny rubbed his eye, trying to keep from crying in front of these men. O’Neill picked up a box of tissues and handed them across to him. “I really ought to dust this office more often,” he said obliquely.

“He is quite dashing and he seems quite enamoured of you.” She suddenly discovered how complicated it was to sit down without creasing one’s dress, and blushing—out of embarrassment at her gracelessness, she was sure— spent several minutes smoothing out her skirts.

Oliver groaned, “Nothing good ever comes after the ‘you’re a really great guy’ opener.”

He sneered right back at the man. “I forget sometimes, not all of us are capable of logical thought.”

“Oh, I blend in very well,” the Doctor assured him, despite all evidence to the contrary.

“But when a person’s magic is twisted or warped or added to, it affects the animagus form. Who knows what my animagus form might have been originally, now it’s some freakish thing with a lion’s head, a cobra for a tail, dragon feet and big feathery wings.”

“So, let me get this straight… you don’t want to turn into something that can fly and has two mouths, one of which is poisonous?”

Dec 18

He ate like a child, always had, and burned the calories off in some mysterious male way that turned them into hardened muscle.

“I was listening the whole time,” Teddy lied sheepishly.

“I asked you if you kept penguins at your house, and you said, ‘yeah, sometimes’.”

Dec 16

“Well...” Pam began thoughtfully. “The demolition derby is at the Lackawanna County Fairgrounds this weekend.”

“I’m not sure if it scares me more that you might actually be offering that as a possibility, or that you even know that information at all.”

After a moment’s reflection, he added, “Let’s never leave.”

Allison laughed at that. “Don’t you think someone might miss us eventually?”

“Nah,” he responded, feeling too content to be bothered with logic.

“Your father is proud of you, Ben,” Inara says.

“Is that why he called me a moron and offered to shoot me himself? Does it get tiresome constantly translating from Dad to Sane People?”

“What on earth was that about?” Snape demanded, staring after her with a scowl.

“Oh, she wants me to seduce you for your birthday,” I replied, without really thinking about it.

“Charming,” Snape said, wrinkling his nose. I am relatively sure that if I’d said ‘I’m going to chop you into bite-sized pieces and then feed you to the giant squid,’ his reaction would have been the same. Perhaps a tad less disgusted.

“She’s insane,” I said dismissively, then added, “I’m not going to, by the way.”

“Thank God for small mercies,” he murmured.

Dec 12

“What do you mean we’re nowhere? How can we be nowhere? That’s impossible isn’t it?”

"Do you want the long or short answer?”

He considered the matter. “Short.”

She gazed up at the clouds. “Then the answer is no, it’s not impossible.”

“Long, then. I want the long answer.”

“Do you realize that our whole timeline could have blinked out of existence if you’d eaten that pudding?!”

“You want to tell me how you infiltrated a top secret military base with a card pinned to your shirt that says ‘I am supposed to be here?’”

He noticed that his feet were carrying him in the direction of the stairs to the kitchens. ‘O, clever feet,’ he thought happily. ‘Splendid feet.’

“You know as well as I do that one doesn’t date Luna. One arranges to be in the same place at the same time as Luna. It’s nice if she actually recognizes you in the process, but it’s optional.”

“The price isn’t going to go down just because you keep repeating it in disbelief.”

“Luna we’ve been over this,” Mr. Lovegood shook his head. “If you can’t remember to feed the dog then how do you expect me to believe you’re responsible enough for weapons grade plutonium?”

“That’s a TV? I had no idea they grew that big.”

“I’m asking it to close. I’m ordering it to close. I’m willing it to close. It’s not closing!”

Sirius frowned. “Maybe you need to bleed on it again.”

“I’m not stuffy,” Harry grumbled. “He’s a judgmental pillock.”
