~Felix King, Road to Avonlea ("Woman of Importance," season 7)


2.
Algernon Moncrieff: "Oh! I am not really wicked at all, cousin Cecily. You mustn't think that I am wicked."
Cecily Cardew: "If you are not, then you have certainly have been deceiving us all in a very inexcusable manner. I hope you have not been leading a double life, pretending to be wicked and being really good all the time. That would be hypocrisy."

3.

6.
"Well, the King is well pleased with you. All charges have been dropped. We're still going to hang you of course, but I'll spare the drawing and quartering."  [stunned silence]  "That was a joke."
~Judge Jeffreys, Lorna Doone (2000)

7.
"But, uh, Pearl... if the little bird cannot see... AND cannot fly... how is he in the sky?"
