What are these?" Meg looked at the rings of keys in Nate's hand, deliberately furrowed her brow. "Those would be keys." "Why do you need so many keys?" "Because there are so many locks? Is this a quiz?" He jingled them in his palm while she continued to give him a sunny, innocent smile. "Meg, you don't even lock your doors half the time. What are all these keys about?" "Well...

We're going to get a couple pretty, fluffy inches in the morning for a gorgeous December evening wedding. Go get ready for rehearsal." "I'm afraid of rehearsal. My voice is going to squeak.

Laurel's in right field, leading off. Her fielding's crap, but she's got a good bat." "My fielding is not crap." She hit Del with the glove. "Keep it up and you're not going to have any problem winning that beat, Brown." When she stalked off, Mal took an easy, testing swing. "What bet?" Laurel strode straight up to Mac. "I want to switch with you. I want to play on Jack's team." "Baseball slut. Okay by me, but you'd better tell Jack." ..

Then I saw it, and it just grabbed me. That moment, that breath just before destiny, between innocence and power. He'll pull the sword free. You know it. And in that moment, the world changes. Camelot's born, Arthur's fate is sealed. He'll unite a people, be betrayed by a woman and a friend, and sire the man who'll kill him. In this moment, he's a boy. In the next he'll be a king.

Heroism's just doing more than you want to do or think you can. Sometimes it's just doing the crappy things, the unhappy things other people won't do....It's not just jumping out of a plane onto a glacier ten thousand feet up because there's nobody else there to do it. It's getting out of bed in the morning when it seems like too much trouble.

Shall I tell you what rock and roll is, Johnno, from someone who doesn't perform, but observes? It's restless and rude. It's defiant and daring. It's a fist shaken at age. It's a voice that often screams out questions because the answers are always changing. The very young play it because they're searching for some way to express their anger or joy, their confusion and their dreams. Once in a while, and only once in a while, someone comes ..

It's called male bonding. You'll never get it. I believe women are as capable as men, deserve equal pay--and that one day, should be sooner than later, in my opinion, the right woman can and should be leader of the free world. But you can't understand the male bonding rituals any more than men can understand why the vast majority of women are obsessed with shoes and other footwear.
