Cashmere in Veronica Mars:
When I told DH of cancellation he said: "Honey, you're cursed with good taste and low marketability."
Hell, I don't know. If I had wanted schooling, I'da gone to school.

In Buffy and Angel:
Aimée (talking about her hatred of Drusilla): I have only enough room for one batshit crazy beautiful murderous woman with great fashion sense in my life, and I'm it.

In Bitches, a general discussion of Roman execution methods reveals that for patricide, the sentence was to be stuffed in a bag with an ape, a dog, and a snake, and thrown in a river.
billytea That was the punishment for the patricide perpetrator, though now imagine if someone did kill their father that way. Then the authorities would have to come up with something even worse to teach him a lesson. "Ok, so we stuff him in there with a lion, an ostrich and a rhino..."

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

Starsky & Hutch was pretty much four seasons of hurt/comfort interspersed with cheesy costumes, dance numbers, and hookers.

amych in Natter, re: earworms (slackers, why did this take so long to get here!)
Earworm had grown so rich, he wanted to retire. He took me to his cabin and he told me his secret. 'I am not the Dread Pirate Earworm' he said. 'My name is My Milkshake; I inherited the ship from the previous Dread Pirate Earworm, just as you will inherit it from me. The man I inherited it from is not the real Dread Pirate Roberts either. His name was Mahna Mahna. The real Earworm has been retired 15 years and living like a king in Patagonia.'

SA in Fanfictiom II:
But it's how he knows he's alive again!!`~
How do you expect your (handsome, dashing male) protagonist to truly FEEL ALIVE if they don't do the hippy hippy shake?! Come on, now, people--be reasonable! Hippy hippy shake is its own medicine! Along with the Healing Penis of Comforting Love (TM, available in three sizes) and the Strong Arms of Protection (subject to bicep-width warranty) and ending finally in the Cuddle of Warm Fuzzies. These three combined will clear any rape-related trauma, defibrillator-induced chest pain, or returning-from-the-dead aches and pains!
Credit for coinage of hippy hippy shake in this context goes to Nutty

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
Dear Owen,
No pitching fits while mommy is nekkid. She has other things to do when she is nekkid.
Love,

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
Jessica in Natter: When I become a deity capable of designing intelligent life, it's gonna lay eggs. I am so over internal gestation.
