Babylon 5: Messages From Earth (Season 3 Ep 8)

Garibaldi: Thought I’d stop in and see how you’re doin’.
G’Kar: Fine. Fine! Two weeks down, six to go before I’ve repaid my debt to society for attacking Mollari. I’ve taken the opportunity provided by my incarceration to meditate, to think…sometimes I even sing!
Garibaldi: I know. We got a petition.
G’Kar: For, or against?
Garibaldi: Based on the sound, they think we’re torturing you in here.

Saw a Freudian typo today from somebody posting about "the givernment".

Of course, from my perspective it would be "the takernment".
------------------
How can the politicians keep calling their runaway government spending "investment"? I suppose "flushing your tax money down a rat-hole" just wouldn't play well.

Vir Cotto: "What do I want? What do *I* want?
I'd like to live just long enough to be there when they cut off your head and stick it on a pike as a warning to the next ten generations that some favors come at too high a price. I would gaze up into your lifeless eyes and wave, like this. (holds up right hand and wiggles fingers at Morden) Can your associates arrange that for me, Mr. Morden?"



Of course what Morden's associates usually do is grant people their wishes in ways that make them regret ever making the wish.

So the expression on Morden's face when he hears that wish is hilarious IMO

I always imagined that Morden probably set out to eliminate any enemies Vir had after hearing the wish, thus delaying Vir's death and the fulfillment of his wish as long s he could.

And Vir only got part of the wish thankfully. He lived long after the rest of his wish was fulfilled.

From A Civil Campaign by Lois McMaster Bujold

Simon Illyan: Do you know all those old folk tales where the Count tries to get rid of his only daughter's unsuitable suitor by giving him three impossible tasks?

Ekaterin: Yes...

Simon: Don't ever try that with Miles. Just....don't.

From Heaven Is For Real
Tod Burpo (preacher and father): You punched a kid in the nose?
Cassie Burpo (young daughter): Yes, but it was two kids. Not one.
Sonja Burpo (mother): Honey you know you're supposed to turn the other cheek. Right?
Cassie: I did turn his other cheek, when I hit him.

Son, your mother says I have to hang you. Personally I don't think this is a capital offense. But if I don't hang you, she's gonna hang me and frankly, I'm not the one in trouble. —cthia's father. Incident in ? Axiom of Common Sense

For those who believe, no explanation is necessary. For those who do not, none will suffice. - Dunninger


The quote has nothing to do with religion, rather magic. Though it seems to fit religion as well. It's an actual swipe at both sides of the fence.
