"Hungry? Careful not to choke on your stupidity."

[arcane_mixologist]

"We all signed this waiver--I hope you read yours--it says spell work is not unlikely to murder you and if so, oh well."

[explosive_artist]

Sabine: "Ugh, his plan gets worse all the time."
Zeb: "Just hope he doesn't change it again."
Kanan (literally standing between them): "I'm standing right here."
Sabine and Zeb: "We know."

Let me post a few gems from YT. Some are actual spoken lines and others are more like exposition from her point of view, or internal monologue.

“The world is full of power and energy and a person can go far by just skimming off a tiny bit of it.”

“Y.T. is maxing at a Mom's Truck Stop on 405, waiting for her ride. Not that she would ever be caught dead at a Mom's Truck Stop. If, like, a semi ran her over with all eighteen of its wheels in front of a Mom's Truck Stop, she would drag herself down the shoulder of the highway using her eyelid muscles until she reached a Snooze 'n' Cruise full of horny derelicts rather than go into a Mom's Truck Stop.”

“I just saved your fucking life, Mom...It's like, if you--people of a certain age--would make some effort to just stay in touch with sort of basic, modern-day events, then your kids wouldn't have to take these drastic measures.”

"Oh no! Verigan's Hold! It's all covered in sand and shit!"

[i_ship_it]

"Okay. Could we, like, eat part of him?"

[doesitbotheryou]

"It is not a matter of talent. It is a matter of will."

[isawit]

"The best liars always tell the truth."

[my_brothers_shadow]

"But what is us, Floki, is changing; only you won't accept it."

[no_more_hiding]

"Well, I think we should hope for the best, and prepare for the worst"

[notapilot]

"So you like cats?"
"Anyone ever tell you you're a little paranoid?"
"Did you write that down first, or was it off the top off your head?"
"Man, shut the hell up!"
"41st floor! 41st floor!!"

[bringspeopletogether]

"Demons. You got us demons. Some of them were on fire. You're the best."

[almosthonorable]

"Goddamn trains. Never can rely on 'em, huh?"

[ceitfianna]

Oh god, that line. Just reading it pulls me back to that scene. I really love Ben and Yuma.

[sardonicynic]

Hee, speaking of this glorious quote, I was inordinately pleased with myself over the holidays. When I spied this gingerbread train kit, I couldn't help but pick it up for Ali; I taped a note on the front of the box with the "goddamn trains" quote on it, so it was the first thing she saw when she unwrapped it. There was a ridiculous amount of laughter when we exchanged gifties. >:DDD

[ceitfianna]

That's so cool. I have stuff that I will at some point mail out to you guys, this has been a weird winter.

[sardonicynic]

*snugs* Take care of yourself, first and foremost. <333

"I tried to take care of her after our mom died — sometimes I felt more like a mother than a sister. At least, I tried to be."

[i_am_your_host]

"Meine Damen und Herren, Mesdames et Messieurs, Ladies and Gentlemen...
Is it a crime to fall in love?
Can we ever tell where the heart truly leads us?
All we are asking is eine bisschen Verständnis: a little understanding.
Why can't the world leben und leben lassen?
'Live and let live....'?"

[garde723]

"Thank you, but I'm not a girl."

[howtoactfereldan]

She is the hold-beast of Stone-Bear Hold. All other bears in the area are mere imitations.

Storvacker. How do I even begin to explain Storvacker?

Storvacker is flawless.

She has two ancient elven trees for claw sharpening and a silver honey dish.

I hear that her claws are valued in Denerim at 10,000 sovereigns.

I hear that she sells her shed fur to Orlesian master weavers in Val Royeaux.

Her favorite story is Hard in Hightown.

One time, she met Alistair Theirin, fabled warrior of the Fifth Blight, and he told her she was pretty.

One time, she clawed me in the face. It was amazing.

"Don't worry, the weeds will grow up and take the place over. They are Luthor weeds, after all."

"In every relationship, one person stands while the other one kneels. I will not be forced down again."

[firstorderknight]

"The droid... stole a freighter?"

[thekidfrombrooklyn]

"I know I'm asking a lot. but the price of freedom is high. It always has been. But it's a price I'm willing to pay. If I'm the only one, then so be it, but I'm willing to bet I'm not."

[furiousroadwarrior]

"You know, hope is a mistake. If you can't fix what's broken, you'll go insane."

"Sorry, got to dash--I left my riding crop in the mortuary."

"I've tried my best to keep the world safe. Hope I made you proud."

"I can put up with a lot, but when you fuck with my face, it's time to die."

[sunbaked_baker]

"Vampires do breathe, by the way, but their chests don't move like humans'. Have you ever lain in the arms of your sweetheart and tried to match your breathing to his, or hers? You do it automatically. Your brain only gets involved if your body is having trouble. Fortunately there was nothing about this situation that was like being in the arms of a sweetheart except that I was leaning against someone's naked chest. I could no more have breathed with him than I could have ignited gasoline and shot exhaust out my butt because I was sitting in the passenger seat of a car."

[not_my_sandbox]

Not from any of my pups, but:

We can fight! I've had that... thing inside my head. It's not merciful. It doesn't see us as people. It only wants to dominate, to control. Our ancestors defied it. They escaped its clutches, they broke all of its hateful commandments, they built a new city – a new world – where we could be free. We haven't gotten rid of conflict or suffering entirely – maybe we could have, given more time and effort – though we have done pretty well. Our whole history since then, every one of us who has lived and loved and built and dreamed, has been one glorious act of defiance. If we surrender, that rebellion will be undone. Bandos won't just make us suffer, he won't just reduce us to barbarism – he'll turn us into an instrument of evil. But if we fight it now, then even if we die, that will be the crowning of our defiance. I thought I couldn't fight, but [Player] told me that... that [he/she] believed in me. That's what we need now; to believe in one another. You say that we can't win, that we can't fight. Well, perhaps you're half right; perhaps we can't win. But we can fight.
