Huh. As it turns out, I have fewer orphan lines and passages than I thought. And some of these may yet find their way into stories.
"I am a killer, yes. But I choose when and where to kill. I do not kill indiscriminately. I do not kill out of spite.
"Much."
****
"I do much better as a goddess," Urd said, "since my secretarial skills have always been limited."
****
There are things you do because they feel right and they make no sense and they make no money, and may be the real reason we are here: to love each other and eat each other's cooking and say it was good.
****
I saw them standing there, pretending to be just friends, when all the time in the world could not pry them apart.
****
"Pretty girl, but she's got the personality of a rabid wolverine."
****
"We are here to laugh at the odds and live our lives so well that Death will tremble to take us." -- poet Charles Bukowski, quoted in Jive Magazine
****
"It's Sister Ginny's turn to throw the bomb!
The last one it was thrown by Brother Ron.
Mama's aim is bad and the aurors all know Dad,
So it's Sister Ginny's turn to throw the bomb!"
****
"Mana is energy. Energy applied properly becomes force. Force applied properly becomes momentum. And momentum applied properly can do a lot of damage."
****
"While tantric magic is very good for certain tasks, it is somewhat... less than optimal for combat use."
****
If I could live full-time with Sana Kurata for a year and not go mad, I sure as hell could be Usagi Tsukino's coach.
****
"Usagi..."
"No, Mamo-chan."
"But, Usako..."
"Mamoru. If you say one more word, I'm going to put my umbrella in your pants and open it."
(pause)
"Sangnoir-sensei is such a bad influence on you."
****
"My race is pacifist and does not believe in war. We kill only out of personal spite."
****
"Get out of my way, Doug."
I shook my head. "I'm sorry, Kirika. I can't let you do this."
"Don't make me escalate this," she said softly. "I know your limitations."
I let a little smile creep out. "That's as may be. But you don't know all my strengths."
****
"Don't listen to what anyone else says, Atsuko. One of my talents is that I can see the souls of living beings. And you have a soul that burns as brightly and as true as any human or god I have ever met."
****
"Sorry, Louie. I'm with the girls on this one. That was just fucking stupid." I paused for an infinitesimal moment. "Not that I wouldn't have done exactly the same thing if it were me in that situation, mind you. But it's still fucking stupid."
****
"Prue, Piper, do either of you have dibs on the unconscious hunky guy on our stairs?"
"The one strapped to the motorcycle embedded in the wall? Not me."
"Are you kidding? I've got Leo."
Phoebe Halliwell grinned and clapped her hands. "Goody! He's mine!"
"Feebs," her elder sister Prue objected, "we do not get possessive over strange unconscious men who have motor vehicle accidents in our house."
"Not right away, at least," amended middle sister Piper.
****
"I don't negotiate with kidnappers and terrorists." "I kill them."
