Personally I am very pessimistic. But when, for instance, one of my staff has a baby you can't help but bless them for a good future. Because I can't tell that child, 'Oh, you shouldn't have come into this life.' And yet I know the world is heading i...
Sergeant JT Sanborn: Maybe you shouldn't take this down. You know, we get a lot of mortars at night. You know, the plywood on the windows help with the lateral frag coming through. That's why it's up there. Staff Sergeant William James: Yeah, well, i...
Oogway: My time has come. [hands his staff to Shifu] Shifu: What? What are you...? Oogway: You must now continue your journey without me. Shifu: No! WAIT! Master! You can't leave me! Oogway: You must believe... Shifu: MASTER! [in a haze of peach blos...

[the 'stick to cobra' combat had just occurred] Moses: You gave me this staff to rule over scorpions and serpents, but God made it a rod to rule over kings. Hear His word, Rameses, and obey. Rameses: Obey? Moses, Moses. Are there no magicians in Egyp...

Axsem would say nothing more to any of them. No sooner had Fallon released him than he fled deep into the trees, staff in hand, with Hailos following after. Through the morning air, they heard the wail of his mourning. The scarred heart of the genera...
