1	->''"I am very smart. I went to the best Medacad in Osiris, top three percent of my class, finished my internship in eight months. "Gifted" is the term. So when I tell you that my little sister makes me look like an idiot child, I want you to understand my full meaning. River was more than gifted, she... she was a gift. Everything she did, music, math, theoretical physics -- even dance -- there was nothing that didn't come as naturally to her as breathing does to us."''

10	->''"And that's Stoney's real problem. He's the Satan figure from a different story, a different mythology. Stumbling unwelcome and unneeded into this story — where the Satan figure is actually {{Satan}} — he just can't compete... He stumbles around the edges of this story, unable to find any legitimate reason for his presence. He seems a sad, vestigial relic.''"

13	->''[[TheCowl Armsmaster]] hates you. He hates that you’re the next big thing, the guy that’s going to be better than him. That you get the easy road to being a big name in the Protectorate, and [[TheResenter he’s the one that has to stay up nights, reworking his stuff]], [[AwesomenessByAnalysis compiling simulations]], [[GadgeteerGenius coming up with new ideas]], [[BadassNormal training in the gym for hours and hours on end]]. Every second of work he puts in, he gets more and more resentful of you. Why do you think you were the one member of the team he sent off to patrol the city and watch over the Wards, instead of having you come to the party?''

29	->''"Even the positive things [Scottie] Pippen did were the little things, the shadow things that only experienced eyes could discern. I remember Jim O'Brien, then a New York Knicks assistant coach, describing a subtle play Pippen made in his second season. The Knicks, trailing the Bulls by one with about ten seconds left, were trying to get a simple turnaround jumper for Patrick Ewing on an inbounds play from the frontcourt. But Pippen applied heavy pressure to his man, the target of the inbounds pass, forcing him to get the ball much higher than he wanted. That in turn fouled up the entry pass to Ewing, who now turned in desperation to shoot. By that time, guess who had come over to double? [[UsefulNotes/MichaelJordan [Michael] Jordan]]. He blocked the Ewing shot and drew the plaudits. But it was the Shadow Man who had made the shadow play."''

43	'''Aang:''' "Then why aren't you the one bossing everyone around?"\
44	'''Azula:''' "I'm delegating! It's a perfectly normal thing for leaders to do!"\

There are a lot of things I don't understand, but from the first day I met you, I just knew that you were destined for something the rest of us could only dream about.

60	->"I was really trying to figure out why I was enjoying the scenes with Din Djarin, more than Boba Fett, in the Boba Fett show. And I think the reason is the Mandalorian is basically what we see Boba Fett as, like you know the mental picture of Boba Fett that the public consciousness has sprouted over the past decades of the character existing is of the cool, aloof, cold blooded, Mandalorian super soldier. And that's exactly what Din is: ''he's Boba Fett''. Or at least old Boba Fett. And now that Boba Fett can't be that because we would just have two of the same character in this show Boba becomes something unique. He's very tribal. He has kind of this code of honor now because he spent this undisclosed amount of time living with the Tusken Raiders, and it definitely makes him more unique, but unfortunately, the Mandalorian is just cooler. And it's sad. Because it's not the Mandalorian's show."

67	'''Ghost Roaster:''' Turn our backs? WE’VE been doing Eon and Buzz’s secret dirty work for years, [[DudeWheresMyRespect and we’ve got NOTHING for it]]! We don’t get glory, or attention, or fancy new vehicles. It’s not enough to be a hero. Because as soon as you’re a ''Giant'', or part of the ''Swap Force'', or ''[=SuperCharged=]''... [[ChuckCunninghamSyndrome you get tossed aside and forgotten]]. You may not see it now, but don’t worry, your time will come.

83	'''BMX Bandit:''' Well, we're supposed to be a partnership, but -- to be honest -- I'm starting to feel a bit overshadowed here.\
84	'''Angel Summoner:''' Oh, right. Why's that?\
85	'''BMX Bandit:''' Well, I think the thing is that your ability to summon a horde of celestial superbeings at will is making my... BMX skills look a bit redundant.\
