Dr. McKay: [about Anubis] Has a real flair for the dramatic, doesn't he? Very theatrical.
Maj. Carter: Yeah, pretty much all the Goa'uld are like that.
Dr. McKay: But, why wait? Why does this guy show up a day and a half after this all starts to do his whole "prepare to meet your doom" thing?
Maj. Carter: I don't know, maybe he wanted to make sure it was gonna work.
Dr. McKay: Yeah, that would be embarrassing, wouldn't it? "Nothing can stop the destruction that I bring upon you!" And then the Gate shuts down. "Oops, sorry, never mind."
[Carter kisses McKay on the cheek]
Dr. McKay: [thrilled] That means you don't hate me.
Major Carter: Maybe. Too bad for you.
Dr. McKay: Why?
Major Carter: I was more attracted to you when I did.
Dr. Michaels: Hi. It's nice to finally meet you, Major.
Maj. Carter: You too. Dr. Michaels, this is Dr. Fraiser.
Dr. Michaels: Doctor.
Dr. Fraiser: Doctor.
Dr. Michaels: [also introducing] Uh…Drs. Woods and Osbourne.
Dr. Fraiser: Doctor.
Dr. Woods: Doctor.
Dr. Osbourne: Major.
Maj. Carter: Doctor.
Woods: Major.
Dr. Fraiser: Doctor.
Col. O'Neill: All right. That's enough.
Ba'al: Who are you?
Col. O'Neill: You go first.
Ba'al: [picking up a knife] You claim you do not know me?
Col. O'Neill: Well, take no offense there, Skippy, I'm sure you're a real hot, important Goa'uld, I've just always been kind of out of the loop with the snake thing.
Ba'al: I am Ba'al.
Col. O'Neill: That's it? Just "Ball"? As in Bocce?
Ba'al: Do you not know the pain you will suffer for this impudence? [aims the knife at Jack]
Col. O'Neill: I don't know the meaning of the word. Seriously. "Impudence." What does that mean?
Dr. Jackson: I'm energy now…
Col. O'Neill: How's that working out for you?
Dr. Jackson: Good, actually. Very…
Col. O'Neill: Good.
Dr. Jackson: Very good.
Dr. Jackson: It's your journey. No one but you can choose what you become or the path you take. All I can promise you is it will be an amazing journey. Once you release your burden.
Col. O'Neill: Daniel, so help me, if you start talkin' like Oma…
Dr. Jackson: I'm not talking like Oma Desala.
Col. O'Neill: Sounds like Oma to me.
Dr. Jackson: No, no, no…see, Oma Desala would say something like…uh, uh, if you know the candle is fire then the meal was cooked a long time ago or something like that.
Col. O'Neill: Why?
Dr. Jackson: To open your mind.
Col. O'Neill: Though a candle burns in my house…there's nobody home
Dr. Coombs: They'll be back, Felger. Can't you see they're just having fun with you?
Dr. Felger: What are you talking about? There's something going on out there.
Dr. Coombs: Oh, please, huh? They're just tired of your butt-snorkeling.
Dr. Felger: Bite me, Coombs! At least my heroes exist. If this was a Trek convention you'd be all dressed up like a Klingon.
Dr. Coombs: Vulcan, Felger. Vulcan. And I don't know how you can call yourself a scientist and not worship at the altar of Roddenberry!
Dr. Felger: [mockingly] Oooh, how we gonna get outta this one, Captain? Oh, I don't know, something to do with a tachyon emitter?
Maj. Carter: How come you're not smiling?
Jonas: Should I be?
Maj. Carter: Well, it is your first time being captured by a Goa'uld.
Herak: No matter what you have endured, you have never experienced the likes of what Anubis is capable of.
Col. O'Neill: You ended that sentence with a preposition. Bastard!
Dr. Felger: You are not going to die, Coombs.
Dr. Coombs: Oh, come on, Felger! We might as well be wearing red shirts!
Maj. Carter: It seemed like a power fluctuation in the cycle output of the naquadah reactor. But at closer inspection, I discovered the absorption port and its redundancy had been tampered with.
Col. O'Neill: Carter! I haven't had coffee.
Col. O'Neill: Alright now, how is that possible? I mean, how does she make kids without a… [pause] …man friend? Malek: Symbiote queens are able to fertilize their own eggs. It is essentially an asexual process.
Col. O'Neill: That why you guys take hosts?
Col. O'Neill: They didn't go for it.
Maj. Carter: They didn't approve the mission?
Col. O'Neill: No, they did that. Once they knew the stakes and the whole "fate of the universe" stuff, both the president and Hammond realized we have no choice. He sends good luck, godspeed, and all those things he says when he thinks we're gonna die.
Maj. Carter: So what didn't they go for?
Col. O'Neill: The name I suggested.
Maj. Carter: For the ship?
Col. O'Neill: Yeah.
Maj. Carter: Yeah, sir, we can't call it the Enterprise.
Col. O'Neill: Why not?
Thor: If in fact you are reconsidering...
Col. O'Neill: No, no. I full well expected the other shoe to drop.
Thor: We can only hope that this will be the last footwear to fall.
Jonas: The possibility of being insane has been interfering with my ability to relax.
Maybourne: Nothing more than a good wiener.
Col. O'Neill: Yes, you are what you eat.
Teal'c: The Celts were formidable warriors in their time. Their descendants may make valuable allies.
Col. O'Neill: You've seen Braveheart too often.
Teal'c: I would prefer not to consume bovine lactose at any temperature.
Col. Ronson: There's no redundancy for that particular system.
Col. O'Neill: So, you're saying there's no redundancy.
Mot: You are the Tauri of Stargate Command.
Col. O'Neill: And you are Lord Mot. Come to punish us for our insolence, yada, etcetera, et al.
Mot: That is correct.
Col. O'Neill: Well Mr Mot. We're onto you. We know what you've got planned and we've informed the Tok'ra. If we don't report back on schedule, they're goina rat you out, they'll tell your boss, they'll snitch on ya.

Book Review: Grave Peril
Are you hooked yet? Have you picked this series up? I am not going to tell you about the books until you do.
Harry: Even days that culminate in a grand battle against an insane ghost and a trip across the border between this world and the sprit realm usually start out pretty normally. This one, for example, started off with breakfast and then work at the office.
Michael: I still can’t believe, that you came to the Vampires’ Masquerade Ball dressed as a vampire
Harry: Not just a vampire, a cheesy vampire. Do you think they got the point?
Michael: Blood of the Dragon, that old Serpent. You and yours have no power here. Your threats are hollow, your words are empty of truth, just as your heart is empty of love, your body of life. Cease this now, before you tempt the wrath of the Almighty…Or before my friend Harry turns you into a greasy spot on the floor.
Who’s Michael you ask? Well here’s what Harry had to say
Harry: Let that be a lesson to you. Hands off the Fist of God.
Are you sure you don’t want to be reading this?

Teaser Tuesday
I am joining the fun over at . Reading Adventure (who is joining the fun over at Should be Reading ) I just started the book this morning (don't you raise an eyebrow at me, I did not just start the book so I could play). The book is The True Story of Hansel and Gretel A novel of war and survival. And the winner of my teaser search is.....p 102 "He lead them deeper into the trees through snow that was so soft he sometimes turned and picked up the girl, and the boy clung to his back. He could feel the faster beat of her heart through his coat. " GOOD GOD I couldn't have planned that better if I tried. Now THAT is Hansel and Gretel.

Once Upon a Time III
I stumbled across this challenge when I was poking around Reading Adventures.
Stainless Steel Droppings has presented a challenge.
Read!
He has concocted multiple quests surrounding the following definitions:
fan⋅ta⋅sy: a genre that uses magic and other supernatural forms as a primary element of plot, theme, and/or setting.(Wiki)
fairy tale: a fictional story that may feature folkloric characters such as fairies, goblins, elves, trolls, giants, and talking animals, and usually enchantments, often involving a far-fetched sequence of events. (Wiki)
folk⋅lore: the traditional beliefs, legends, customs, etc., of a people; lore of a people; The traditional beliefs, myths, tales, and practices of a people, transmitted orally. (Dictionary dot com)
my⋅thol⋅o⋅gy: a body of myths, as that of a particular people or that relating to a particular person; a set of stories, traditions, or beliefs associated with a particular group or the history of an event, arising naturally or deliberately fostered. (Dictionary dot com)
I am going to try Quest the Third. I need to read 5 books between now and June 20th and in June read/watch A Midsummer Night’s Dream. I think this should be fun and as I have only 1 more baby blanket and that &^%$ stole for my boss. I think I can fit a book or 5 in…
I am thinking I will finish up (?) the Sword of Truth series with “Confessor”. That should satisfy “fantasy” I also have The Dresden Files, god I love those books.
For fairy tale I will be reading “The True Story of Hansel and Gretel”. I also pulled out a bunch of my retellings of fairy tales so you may be seeing Deerskin, Tam-Lin and the Princess Bride (to name a few).
I am having trouble with the difference between folklore and mythology. So I will have to work on these. But I am going to read The Hawk’s Gray Feather. It’s Volume 1 of the Tales of Arthur. It has to fit in one of these two categories.
Happy Reading!

Book Review: Never Let Me Go
What’s up with me and not reading Sci Fi/Fantasy? Well a former boss of mine keeps sending me stuff she LOVED. Who am I to ignore that? What’s nice is everything she seems to love is really good.
Anyway back to the story.
We start off by meeting Kathy H. Who is 31 and works as a “carer”, She works with the “doners”, and suddenly there is a funny fluttering feeling in your stomach. Kathy tells us her story through flashbacks/memories of when she grew up. You meet an interesting cast of characters. Through it all that funny feeling is there, sometimes like a single butterfly and often like a squadron of moths. Because it jumps back and forth your not really sure if what you think is happening is happening.
Wanna know if it is? Read the book...
