Ewoks
“After watching Star Wars everyone wanted a lightsaber and was irritated that the technology for them didn’t really exist. Everyone also agreed the Ewoks should all die.”
-The Ghost Brigades, John Scalzi

“You’re a son of a bitch, you know that ? She bought her first new car and you hit her with a drunk driver. What ? Was that supposed to be funny ? ’You can’t concieve, nor can I, the appaling strangeness of the mercy of God’ says Graham Greene. I don’t know whose ass he was kissing there ‘cus I think you’re just vindictive. What was Josh, a warning shot ? That was my son. What did I ever do to yours but praise his glory and praise his name ? There’s a tropical storm that’s gaining speed and power. They say we haven’t had a storm this bad since you took out that tender ship of mine in the North Atlantic last year, 68 crew. You know what a tender ship does ? It fixes the other ships. It doesn’t even carry guns, it just goes around and fixes the other ships and delivers the mail. That’s all it can do. Gratias tibi ago, domine. Yes I lied. It was a sin. I’ve commited many sins. Have I displeased you, you feckless thug ? 3.8 million new jobs, that wasn’t good ? Bailed out Mexico, increased foreign trade. Thirty million new acres of land for conservation. Put Mendoza on the bench. We’re not fighting a war. I’ve raised three children. That’s not enough to buy me out of the doghouse? Haec credam a deo pio, a deo justo, a deo scito ? Cruciatus in crucem ! Tuus in terra servus, nuntius fui ; officium perfeci. Cruciatus in crucem… Eas in crucem.
You get Hoynes.”

“Andrew, listen to me. Han Solo is not a loser. Han Solo got encased in carbonite, and that was a big mess but that’s not what he’s remembered for. He’s remembered as the guy who made the Kessel run in less than twelve parsecs. And who braved the sub-zero temperature of the ice-planet Hoth, in order to save someone he cared about from the big, ugly Wampa. He’s remembered as the guy who swooped on at the last minute, blasted Darth Vader out of the skies, so that Luke could use the Force and destroy the damn Death Star. Princess Leia saved him from the carbonite, and they fell in love, and they saved the universe, and had twin Jedi babies that went on to save the universe again. Now that’s the whole picture. The carbonite is just a piece, okay ? (aux autres) Well, so I like science-fiction, anyone got a problem with that ?”
-Miranda Bailey
“The average life is full of near misses and absolute hits, of great love and small disasters. It’s made up of banana milkshakes, loft insulation and random shoes. It’s dead ordinary, and truly, truly amazing. What you’ve got to realize is, it’s all here, now. So breathe deep and swallow it whole, because take it from me, life just whizzes by, and, then, all of a sudden, it’s …”
