You sad, boring person. No wonder I come up with such brilliant ideas: I had an old-fashioned childhood: riding bikes and horses, playing in adventure playgrounds, going swimming; wholesome, family fun...
Remember, I was born in the mid-80's, to a lower-middle class family. Some might say that I live in a yoghurt commercial, but, nerts to them!

Han Solo to whoever. Probably Leia. Just before he gets betrayed by Lando to Vader for maximum irony.

What does it matter, Draculina?! Does it matter if the ones who shoot us and start a war with us are human or not human? They came here on their own! They came to fight us, they came to kill us, or to be beaten, and be killed themselves! That is all! That's everything! That's something that can't be changed! Nobody can change it! Not God, not the Devil and not you!
-Alucard to Seras Victoria
I'm the one who holds the gun, I take aim, I load the magazine and cock the slide, I am the one who releases the safety. But. You are what really kills them. So what will you do?! Give me my order, Sir Hellsing! Sir Integra Fairbrook Wingates Hellsing!

Change 'Draculina' with 'Shinigami' and I can see this being said to Ichigo to someone like Shunsui or even Kenpachi.

a couple of paraphases from the movie Tombraider (I say paraphrases because I can't remeber the exact dialogue and don't really care to re-watch the movie to get it down pat)
1. "I think you might try to kill me...."
"I won't kill you..."
"I said you'd TRY"
2 (and my personal favorite line)
"You don't get it... this is where I start to have FUN!"
(man why can't I stop pictureing Naruto saying that to akastuki while blood drips down his face and him grinning madly?)

t: As a side note, those of you who played TFF Rising will emember a character named Stark, he was based off of this man. Harry glared at Draco, hoping that this would look reasonably convincing. Polyjuice of Snape wasn't easy to get hold of (they'd had to degrease the hair for one thing). "Sex Education, Practical: Report to me in the Stationery Cupboard."
"Wha- bu-" Draco spluttered.
'Snape' rolled his eyes. "Draco..." he hissed, discreetly tapping his left forearm.
Draco's eyes widened and he nodded quickly. "I understand Professor."
"Excellent," Harry sneered and stalked away, his robes flapping around him. A couple of Hufflepuff firsties burst into tears as he glared at them.
-
"All ready?" he asked a tapestry on the third floor.
"The roosters are polyjuiced, bound and gagged," Ron replied quietly from behind the tapestry. "They look like a couple of ordinary girls... Harry are you sure that this is the right thing to do?"
"Don't forget what we're doing this for, Ron," Harry told him in a dangerous voice. "Some sacrifices need to be made."
Ron hesitated. "You're right Harry," he agreed. "But those poor roosters."
-
"Harry," Dumbledore said. "I'm sure you know why I asked you to meet me here."
Harry scratched his chin and kept his rear pointed at the wall. For some reason, unexplained summons by a Hogwarts Professor made him feeling a little nervous. "No Professor."
"Then you don't know anything about these photographs of Draco Malfoy in the Stationary Cupboard performing a disgusting sexual act on a rooster?" Dumbledore asked, his twinkling eyes at a contrast to his stern expression.
"Ah..."
"Or the fact that several of his House Mates have reported that he had been ordered to the Stationary Cupboard by Professor Snape for..." the old man hesitated. "Practical sex education?"
"I'd heard that, Professor, but you know what rumours are like around Hogwarts."
"Ah, indeed." Dumbledore steepled his hands. "So why did you do this, Harry."
Harry gulped. "Two reasons, headmaster. Firstly, it was the first of April - it's traditional to prank someone that day."
"Really?"
Harry nodded vigorously. "Ask any of the muggleborn students sir, they'll all know about April Fool's Day."
"It was still a cruel and malicious thing to do, Harry."
"It was for the greater good, Headmaster."
"The greater good?" Dumbledore blinked. "I don't understand, Harry."
"Sacrifices have to be made," Harry said seriously. "You taught me that, Headmaster. I knew I was letting the roosters in for a dark and difficult time. I knew that they would suffer. You might ask why it had be so. Why could I not just have sat back, let things go on? I beat Voldemort last year, kept him from the Prophecy, but his supporters are still at large, angry, desperate and violent. And so I made my decision. That the children at Hogwarts needed to be protected. For the greater good."
He walked over to the window and stared out of it. "Ah, here they are," he said. "Orderlies from Saint Mungos. No one who did what Draco did can be sane, headmaster. So he'll be locked away for the foreseeable future. Where he can't hurt himself or anyone else. And the roosters?" He sighed. "I shall have to hope that they someday can understand and forgive me, for sacrificing their innocence for the greater good."
Dumbledore's mouth was slack. "I-I-I... Harry?"
"Are you proud of me?" Harry asked, his face suddenly hopeful. "It is what you would do, isn't it?"
Albus Dumbledore stared at the shining, innocent face of the Boy-Who-Lived and a lone tear trickled down his cheek.

That was hysterical.
I'll give you a challenging quote.
-Mary Elizabeth Lease of the Grange, a Midwestern farmer's movement that preceded the Farmer's Alliance, which preceded the Populist revolt, which was the foundational stone of the Progressive movement.
God damn my history teacher for actually doing his job.
