Quote: Harley Quinn and Batman

Harley: There's one thing I gotta know. Why'd you stay with me all day, risking your butt for someone who's never given you anything but trouble?

Batman: I know what it's like to try and rebuild a life. I had a bad day too. Once.

Harley: Nice guys like you shouldn't have bad days.

~ Harley Quinn and Batman, Batman: The Animated Series season 3 episode 6: Harley's Holiday

Batman: The Animated Series is another show I haven't re-watched in a long time. I do remember this episode rather well because after Harley Quinn was released from Arkham Asylum, she truly had a terrible day. From a misunderstanding about the dress she bought to being accused of kidnapping, it was a lot. And not to mention, she ended up right back in Arkham. But Batman did surprise Harley by giving her the dress she had bought earlier.

Quote: Jason, Kimberly, Billy, Trini and Zack (Mighty Morphin Power Rangers)

(While, looking at Bulk and Skull fight after their terrible Bulkwich sandwich fell to the floor)

Jason: You know, I hope that the people who open this time capsule in the future, live in a peaceful and friendly world.

Kimberly: With no hatred.

Billy: No prejudice.

Trini: No crime.

Zack: And no wars.

Kimberly: Think it will ever happen?

Jason: If we all do our part and try to get along with each other. Yeah, I do. We just got to hope for the best.

Zack: To the future.

(Said in unison)

Yeah!

~ Jason Lee Scott, Kimberly Hart, Billy Cranston, Trini Kwan and Zack Taylor, Mighty Morphin Power Rangers season 1 episode 47: Reign of the Jellyfish

After rewatching this episode of the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers yesterday, I just had to post this quote. It would be so wonderful to live in the world they described. Maybe one day in the future, it will happen.

Quote: Ilya Rozanov and Shane Hollander (Heated Rivalry)

Ilya: Is someone chasing you?

Shane: I'm standing in the hallway like an idiot. Scott Hunter is right next door.

Ilya: (laughing quietly)

Ilya Rozanov and Shane Hollander, Heated Rivalry season 1 episode 1: Rookies

This scene always makes me laugh because not only was Shane quickly knocking on Ilya's hotel room door, he rushed in as soon as Ilya opened the door. No wonder Ilya asked Shane "Is someone chasing you?", because he was acting as if someone was. But I understand, Shane was nervous and didn't want anyone to know that they were hooking up. And not to mention fellow hockey player Scott Hunter had a room right next to Ilya. And he would have easily realized what they were up to if he had seen Shane waiting outside Ilya's door. And at this point, Shane definitely wasn't ready for anyone to know him and Ilya were hooking up. But nervous or not, that didn't stop him from wanting to be with Ilya.

(Heated Rivalry season 1 episode 1: Rookies)

Quote: Ilya Rozanov and Shane Hollander (Heated Rivalry)

Hearing a loon call

Ilya: What the fuck was that?

Shane: A loon?!

Ilya: A what?

Shane: A loon. It’s a bird.

Ilya: Sounds like a fucking wolf.

Shane: It’s a bird, trust me. You’re so scared!

Ilya: What kind of a bird makes a noise like that?!

Shane: A LOON. A fucking wolf?!

Ilya: A stupid Canadian wolf bird!

Shane does a loon call

Ilya: Oh, so now you speak bird, too.

Shane: Fluent.

Ilya: I hate you.

Shane: No you don’t.

~ Ilya Rozanov and Shane Hollander, Heated Rivalry season 1 episode 6: The Cottage

I just thought this scene was so funny. Because Ilya, who is usually so confident and tough immediately became scared when he heard that loon call. Shane told him it was a bird but Ilya was looking around just in case a "wolf" suddenly appeared. I just love how Shane had a good-naturedly chuckle about it. He was probably just as surprised to see how scared Ilya was over a bird call.

(Heated Rivalry season 1 episode 6: The Cottage)

Quote: Ilya Rozanov and Shane Hollander (Heated Rivalry)

Ilya: You scared me.

Shane: I'm sorry I didn't text you last night.

Ilya: No, it's OK.

Shane: I was excited about last night. I'm mostly mad at Marleau for fucking that up.

Ilya: He feels really bad.

Shane: You know, I had a whole plan to ask you something.

Ilya: Maybe it's better if you just rest now.

Shane: I was gonna ask you...

Ilya: Hollander...

Shane: Will you come to my cottage this summer? Don't go to Russia. Come to my house. We'll have so much fun. It's so private. No one will know.

Ilya: Hollander, you know I can't do that.

Shane: We could have a week or even two. We'd be completely alone. Together.

Ilya: Maybe. Maybe.

~ Ilya Rozanov and Shane Hollander, Heated Rivalry season 1 episode 5: I'll Believe in Anything

Ilya must have been so worried about Shane. Because after Shane had gotten knocked out during the game, he couldn't be by his side. He had to stand by and let the medical staff take care of Shane and take him to the hospital. And since they are in a secret relationship, Ilya couldn't leave the game and go to the hospital with Shane. Which means he had to continue the game while during all that time being worried about Shane. And then by the time the game was over, so was most likely visiting hours at the hospital. So, he had to wait until morning just to finally see Shane and find out how he was.

Meanwhile, Shane was all drugged out on whatever medicine or painkillers his doctor had him on. And despite the concussion and a fractured collarbone, he probably didn't have a care in the world. Well that is except for wanting to ask Ilya to come to his cottage for the summer. All in all, he was just so happy to see Ilya. He was just so cute and adorable and loopy throughout this scene meanwhile Ilya was all worried and concerned. What I found so interesting is that the love they have for each other was very present not just in this moment but throughout the entire scene. But it's also very funny with how loopy and slightly loud Shane was which had Ilya trying to quiet him down. I really like this scene.

Quote: Denise Huxtable and Millie (A Different World)

Millie: A cluttered desk means a cluttered mind.

Denise: Really? Then what does your empty desk mean, Millie?

~ Millicent "Millie" (no last name) and Denise Huxtable, A Different World season 1 episode 12: Advise and Descent

I don't know why Denise Huxtable accepted the volunteer job of peer counselor during finals week in the A Different World episode Advise and Descent (season 1 episode 12) when she had a big paper due. It goes without saying that finals week is tough, you're intensively studying or working hard to complete that last paper or report. It's a lot. Although, Denise was helping her fellow students deal with the stress of finals week, she was limiting her time to finish her paper. In a way, it also felt like she was subconsciously using being a peer counselor as a way to procrastinate. It reminds me of when you know you need to study or work on something important but then you start focusing on something else that is until you go back to focusing on your studies.

I posted this quote because it's funny but also shows how stressed Denise was. When Millie made that cluttered desk comment, she probably thought she had made a fun little comment that was slightly critical (and insulting). And Denise definitely heard the insult which is why she threw that comment right back at her. It was clear to see that Denise was frazzled and stressed as she walked into the counseling center with an arm full of stuff that she placed down on the desk. No doubt about it, she was stressed, not only had she been so focused on being a peer counselor, she somehow lost a day in which she needed that extra time to finish her paper.

Of course, she eventually finished her paper by the end of the episode but Denise put herself through all of that stress. I guess the moral of the story is, to make sure your paper is done or close to being done before agreeing to be a peer counselor during finals week. Or manage your time better so that you can be a peer counselor but also don't miss a day and feel even more stressed out trying to get your paper done.

Quote: Rory Gilmore's Graduation Speech

Headmaster Charleston, faculty members, fellow students, family and friends, welcome. We never thought this day would come. We prayed for its quick delivery, crossed days off our calendars, counted hours, minutes, and seconds, and now that it's here, I'm sorry it is because it means leaving friends who inspire me and teachers who have been my mentors - so many people who have shaped my life and my fellow students' lives impermeably and forever.

I live in two worlds.

One is a world of books. I’ve been a resident of Faulkner’s Yoknapatawpha County, hunted the white whale aboard the Pequod, fought alongside Napoleon, sailed a raft with Huck and Jim, committed absurdities with Ignatius J. Reilly, rode a sad train with Anna Karenina and strolled down Swann’s Way. It’s a rewarding world, but my second one is by far superior.

My second one is populated with characters slightly less eccentric, but supremely real, made of flesh and bone, full of love, who are my ultimate inspiration for everything. Richard and Emily Gilmore are kind, decent, unfailingly generous people. They are my twin pillars, without whom I could not stand. I am proud to be their grandchild. But my ultimate inspiration comes from my best friend, the dazzling woman from whom I received my name and my life’s blood, Lorelai Gilmore.

My mother never gave me any idea that I couldn’t do whatever I wanted to do or be whomever I wanted to be. She filled our house with love and fun and books and music unflagging in her efforts to give me role models from Jane Austen to Eudora Welty to Patti Smith. As she guided me through these incredible eighteen years, I don’t know if she ever realized that the person I most wanted to be was her.

Thank you, Mom. You are my guidepost for everything.

~ Lorelai "Rory" Gilmore's Graduation Speech, Gilmore Girls season 3 episode 22: Those Are Strings, Pinocchio

I always found it interesting that Rory's entire speech wasn't show because as she was continuing with her speech, it cut to another scene. This was just the beginning of her Valedictorian speech where she first started out expressing love and gratitude to her family, it would have been interesting to know what was included in the rest of her speech. However, what was shown was still inspiring but I'm sure the rest of the speech was providing a lot of encouraging words for all the graduates in preparing for their next stage in their lives.

Quote: Howard Han, Edmundo Diaz, Evan Buckley and Henrietta Wilson (9-1-1)

Chimney: What are you doing?

Eddie: Just looking for flights for me and Chris for a redeye. I still got to be in El Paso at 7:00 a.m. Make that 6:00. They're an hour ahead.

Chimney: Eddie, wait. Ravi, hold up. Everybody, just stop. Especially you (in regards to Eddie).

(Chimney then takes Eddie's phone)

Eddie: Hey.

Chimney: You're not getting on any redeye.

Buck: He's not?

Chimney: No. And nobody's transferring out. And nobody's staying in Texas. This is our firehouse. This is the 118. And it's not just a number. It's us. And you're right, Buck. Things are never gonna be the same again because Cap is gone. But leaving won't change that. It won't make you feel any less sad. It just means that you'll be sad all alone.

Bobby died so that I could live. And it has screwed me up in ways that I cannot fully express, but the truth is... he would've done that for any one of us. You see, he knew that just coming in to work every day, there is a chance that one or more of us would not make it home. And his job above everything else was to make sure that we did.

And we're all standing here right now because of him. This team, we are his legacy. So we can miss him. And we can mourn him. And we can even curse his name, but we are not going to disrespect him by throwing away what he built right here. So you hang up your turnouts, you hit the showers, you go home and you get some rest. 'Cause we are all gonna see each other on our next shift right here. Together. Understood?

Hen: Copy that, Cap. I mean, Chim.

~ Howard "Chimney" Han, Edmundo "Eddie" Diaz, Evan "Buck" Buckley and Henrietta "Hen" Wilson, 9-1-1 season 8 episode 18: Seismic Shifts

This was an inspiring speech by Chimney in the 9-1-1 eighth season finale. And he's right, the team (and the show) will never be the same now that the late Fire Captain Robert "Bobby" Nash has died. But all they can do, is continue to honor Bobby by going out there and doing the absolute best at their job. Since, the Showrunner and writers had Hen turn down the job as Fire Captain (which still makes no sense), then I hope they will make Chimney the Captain.

Back in the final two episodes of the second season, Chimney was definitely not the right person for Interim Captain while Bobby was suspended. But now, Chimney has certainly grown as a person and as a paramedic/firefighter to take on the responsibilty as Captain. Aside from Hen, I can't imagine anyone else taking over the job. I guess we'll see in the ninth season who the Showrunner and writers will make captain but I truly hope it's Chimney.

Quote: Athena Grant and Robert Nash (9-1-1) (+ a few 9-1-1 fandom thoughts)

Athena: Hey.

Bobby: I'm sorry, that was unprofessional.

Athena: Oh, no one bats a thousand. Not with the things we got to see every day. When I'm on duty, this is who I need to be. But the second I walk through my door at night, I turn into a completely different person. Everybody here today looks like they're holding it together. No doubt, they're going through a box of tissues tonight. Anything I can do to help you with this one?

Bobby: Yeah. Will you go somewhere with me?

~ Athena Grant and Robert "Bobby" Nash, 9-1-1 season 1 episode 10: A Whole New You


I'm still disappointed that the 9-1-1 Showrunner and writers so carelessly killed off Bobby and not only ended his story but also his and Athena's love story. The quote this scene is from, A Whole New You (season 1 episode 10) was the beginning of Athena and Bobby's love story.

Back in the episode Love is in the Air (season 6 episode 17), Edmundo "Eddie" Diaz asked Bobby about how him and Athena made it happen. And Bobby said, she sat and talked with him while they were at the scene of a really bad motorcycle accident. And she also went to Bobby's church with him and again sat and talked with him. During those two moments, they must have really got to know one other and from there they eventually (according to Bobby some days later) went on their first date which was shown at the end of the episode A Whole New You.

What Bobby was trying to tell Eddie was you can't force a special moment. Because earlier in Love is in the Air, Eddie was trying way too hard to try to meet someone but unfortunately for Eddie he still didn't quite understand what Bobby had said. So when Eddie re-met Marisol at the end of the episode, he thought that meeting was something special. But it was not, however, that's a post for another day.

Anyway, had Athena not taken the time to comfort a then acquaintance/growing friend, her and Bobby would have never found their second chance (well in Athena's case third chance) at love. The 9-1-1 Showrunner was so excited about "shaking things up" that he didn't seem to care how this was going to play out for Athena and Bobby. And not to mention how it was going to play out for fans who have been invested in these characters and their story for eight seasons. Ever since Bobby was killed off, it seemed to also have killed off a great deal of the 9-1-1 fandom's enjoyment and engagement of the series. Because now fans are left wondering if the Showrunner on another whim is going to decide to "shake things up" again and kill off another main character. It's funny, I haven't seen this much of a fandom deflation since the Game of Thrones' Showrunners ruined the final season of the show.

As a fan, it's so disappointing that Bobby was killed off and that him and Athena's love story came to an equally disappointing end.

Quote: Scarlet Witch and Hawkeye (Avengers: Age of Ultron)

Scarlet Witch: How could I let this happen?

Hawkeye: Hey, hey, you okay?

Scarlet Witch: This is all our fault.

Hawkeye: Hey, look at me. It's your fault, it's everyone's fault, who cares. Are you up for this? Are you?

Look, I just need to know, cause the city is flying. Okay, look, the city is flying, we're fighting an army of robots, and I have a bow and arrow. None of this makes sense. But I'm going back out there because it's my job. Okay? And I can't do my job and babysit.

It doesn't matter what you did, or what you were. If you go out there, you fight, and you fight to kill. Stay in here, you're good, I'll send your brother to come find you, but if you step out that door, you are an Avenger. Alright, good chat. Yeah, the city is flying.

This is so funny because Michel really doesn't want to entertain all those little kids that were at the party at The Dragonfly Inn. But that's what he's going to have to do since Sookie was going to leave to go find Lorelai, who was the one responsible for this kids' party.

I just adore Michel, throughout the Gilmore Girls' first episode he had to deal with non-stop calls from customers who didn't understand that the Independence Inn was completely booked. It wasn't as if he wasn't doing his job and being helpful but they just didn't seem to understand. And at this point, he just didn't want to deal with any more of them.

Christmas Countdown Day #8: Quote: Hen and Karen (9-1-1)

It's eight days until Christmas and I want to start my Christmas Countdown with this quote and scene from the 9-1-1 episode Christmas Spirit. What I found so interesting is that Henrietta "Hen" and Dr. Karen Wilson didn't realize that they had bought their son Denny so many presents. That is until they had piled all the presents up after getting them down from the attic.

During this moment, Hen was still thinking about the emergency call from earlier where a mom had needed medical care. However since the mom had to go to the hospital, that meant her son Leo would end up having to temporarily go into a group home or foster care until his mom is better. But since 9-1-1 is a feel good show, the mom was better and surprised her son at the 118 fire station's Holiday party. Back to Hen and Karen, thinking about Leo and his situation would inspire them to become foster parents. They also did something really sweet with a lot of those gifts, they gave them to the children from the group home who attended the fire station's party.

Hen: Did we mean to buy Denny this many gifts?

Karen: Well, I started stashing them in the attic because he was snooping, and I think I lost track of how much I bought.

Hen: Do you ever think about where Denny would be if we hadn't stepped in? Would he have ended up in a group home too?

Karen: I don't know. Maybe.

Hen: That kid doesn't know how lucky he is.

Karen: Of course not. He's a kid. Just one more thing to be thankful for this holiday.

Quote: Margaret and Maddie Buckley (9-1-1)

Margaret: Are you calling 911?

Maddie: I am 911.

~ Margaret and Maddie Buckley, 9-1-1 season 7 episode 6: There Goes the Groom

I'm still not a fan of Margaret Buckley but I thought this little moment between her and her daughter Maddie was funny. Despite it being a stressful moment with Maddie trying to find her soon to be husband Howard "Chimney" Han. And unbeknownst to anyone, Chimney was suffering from Viral Encephalitis (that he caught from a guy he rescued) which was causing him to severely hallucinate. He was eventually found and they ended up having a wedding that was unique. Not the wedding Maddie and Chimney should have had, but one that's fitting for the show.

Most Memorable Scene: Athena and Bobby's Casino Mystery (9-1-1)

I haven't started my 9-1-1 re-watch just yet but I'm looking forward to it. It's been a while since I've watched the show from the beginning. I was thinking about this scene from the episode Past is Prologue (season 5 episode 9) where Police Sergeant Athena Grant and her husband Fire Captain Robert "Bobby" Nash were at the casino trying to see if they could figure out how the "Biker Bandit" was able to get away with over a million dollars in stolen chips back in 1987.

Technically, this was Athena's case but her mystery loving husband Bobby was way too intrigue by this "Biker Bandit" (a name he coined) case not to want to help. Their investigation at the casino seemed like it was part date/part work especially since they got all dressed up for it. I like how they were trying to retrace the "Bandit's" escape route and as well as picking up additional information as their investigation went along.

A quote I like from this scene is:

Bobby: All right, let me have your purse.

Athena: Oh. It doesn't really go with that outfit.

Bobby: You don't think?

Quote: Henrietta and Dr. Karen Wilson (9-1-1)

Karen: See... I told you it was nice.

Hen: Yeah, well, I don't see any crystals, so that's a bonus.

Karen: Look, we don't have to stay. You know, if you just wanna go home...

Hen: No. No, no, no. It's okay. Honestly, it'll be nice for us to spend a few days away from everything and everyone we know. You know, just me and you.

~ Dr. Karen and Henrietta "Hen" Wilson, 9-1-1 season 3 episode 9: Fallout

I know Hen was dealing with the aftermath of that really bad accident. But I just love this scene with her and her wife Karen taking some time away. Because not only did Hen need to sort through her feelings but Karen as well. Because in the previous episode Malfunction, Karen had found out that their attempt at In Vitro Fertilization didn't work and that devastated her and it put a strain on their relationship.

So, this time away was exactly what both of them needed. And not to mention, Hen got some much needed words of encouragement from Stacey Mullins, the life coach who years ago Hen had saved her life. That experience was one of the reasons why Hen became a firefighter/paramedic.
