Iino: Does this proper precedent you're referring to include what I caught you two doing in the office? That exemplifies stupidity, not good behavior.
Kaguya: Iino, you misunderstood.
Iino: I get that you like each other a lot, but that doesn't mean that we need to see!
Kaguya: (flustered) You think we like each other?! Wow, who knew we came across that way?
Iino: Everyone, because you're letting it get the best of you!

Kagome: Say, Inuyasha? Is it just me, or do you get the feeling that maybe Sango has the hots for Miroku?
Inuyasha: Huh? You're not serious?
Kagome: Don't tell me you haven't noticed anything.
Shippo: I noticed it a long time ago.
Inuyasha: But I—
Kagome: You're even denser than I thought.
Inuyasha: Then how come Sango always gets mad when Miroku tries to stroke her butt?
Kagome: Because you have to set up the right atmosphere for women!
Inuyasha: Atmosphere... as in clouds and stuff?
Kagome: Uh... look, Sango likes Miroku. Trust me, I know these things.

Hikari: Shinji confessed to her this morning.
Touji: And that's bad?
Hikari: She doesn't think he means it. She thinks it's an act or something, to make sure the doesn't cause anyone any trouble.
Asuka: That's exactly it! If you could only see the way he acts toward me...
Touji: Uh, Soryu... Look, you know I'm not exactly your biggest fan and all, but I think you're kinda off base here.
Asuka: Then you're an idiot.
Touji: No, seriously, what you're saying doesn't make sense. I spend more time with the guy than anyone, apart from you I guess, and he never talks about you embarrassing him or anything. He just wants to make you happy.
Asuka: Of course he does. If he makes me happy he'll get praise, and then he'll feel like he's worth a damn. Same old Shinji.
Hikari: Asuka, that's a really cynical way to look at it.
Asuka: What are you talking about?
Hikari: Well, it's true that he's always a little concerned or upset when he's talking about you, since that's just the way you two are... but even so, when he talks about something good that happened between you two his face just lights up, like he—
Touji: Yeah! He'll get this stupid grin on his face, like he's the happiest guy on Earth.
Asuka: That's... that's insane. You guys are just defending him!
Touji: You think it's just us?
Hikari: Everyone knows about it. It's, ah... it's kinda obvious.
Asuka: No, he's just... I mean, it's Shinji, he... Everyone?
Hikari: Well...

"You think when you can't look at me because you're afraid that everybody will see what I see, it's not betrayal? When your face lights up a block away as you fly out of your stupid job? When you leave your hair down, when those lips of yours quiver? Are they not betraying you?"
— Alexander Belov, The Bronze Horseman, by Paullina Simons
Sarah: You know he doesn't like me that way.
Antimony: I know he does. Everyone in the family knows he does. Even Alex knows, and Alex is both a boy and currently in Ohio. Sarah, people who have never met either one of you know he does—they can see it in his forum posts.

You're into him, and he's into you, and Shane, who by the way should be listening to this, cause it's so damn obvious!
Rory: What's obvious? What did I do?
Dean: Everyone can see, Rory! Everyone. And I'm tired. But I'm over it.

MC: Why are you guys talking as if you always knew we would...ahem.
