        “Yes I’m… lookin’ for someone. Have you seen a gentleman with a jagged scar across his face, like this?” Thomas asked softly, lifting a metal finger to trace a path diagonally across his cheek and over his nose. 

       “I’m thinkin’ he coulda come through here.” 

“He’s not- I think he’s been… kidnapped.” It sounded stupid to her own ears, but it was the situation nonetheless. “For trying to help Travis.” 

“HIM BEING in the military shouldn’t effect his DATE LIFE- He’s either being self-conscious or meeting up with the wrong people.” Her words remained BLUNT, despite the softness in her tone and features. She’d look up at the other, raising a brow as she sat forward. “-I care about him, DEARLY and if what I heard the other night is any indication of how he feels-” 

Part of her thought it was hopeless;  if he was entirely set on avoiding relationships then there wasn’t much she could do herself. “There’s obviously more to it- I won’t make you tell me but-” 

“IF HE likes me, why doesn’t he just ask me out? All the other guys don’t seem to have a problem doing it.” Her words were flat, nails clicking against the the metallic table idly; a sigh escaping her as her gaze shifted towards the street; her face barely reflected by the coffee-house window.

“Would it be easier if I told him?”

"Ahh. Uncomfortable silences and alcohol. Just like thanksgiving at home."

"You have no chance of being normal."

"Don't ever be afraid to come to me with stuff like that."

"A person doesn't have to be perfect to be exactly what you need."

"It's the kid inside of us that keeps us all from going crazy."

"I don't dislike you, I nothing you."

"Nothing's worse than a ninja - they're masters of every style of combat."

"Have you been in the supply closet, crying?"

"It sounds like you're asking me out on a man date."

"There's a good chance I'm gonna kill someone."

"The only way you could be more useless right now is if you actually were the wall."

"Gosh, now I'm too proud of you to be mad at you."

"Relationships don't work they way they do on television and in the movies."

"Sometimes it feels like you're holding back."

"All you do is bitch about your relationships all day long!"

"We're only four seconds in and I'm already regretting my decision."

"I can't believe you lost our bottle opener."

"I think we both know there's a little more to it than that."

"Does this lipstick make me look like a clown?"

"Why don't I ever listen to me?"

"Well isn't that just the pickle on the giant crap sandwich that is my day."

"Come on, what's the worst that could happen?"

"I can't help but notice you love telling jokes."

"Do you want to be alone?"

"You're telling me that you actually made a decision that had a positive impact on your life?"

"Can you get that for me? I can't reach it."

"Don't look in her eyes, she might steal your soul."

"I refuse to be judged by a grown man wearing a hockey jersey."

"That was my mistake. I keep forgetting that you're a horrible, horrible person."

"Why are you so afraid of loving me?"

"Do you want to cry a little?"

"Why do you have to jump out and scare me all the time?"

"What do I know about good relationships?"

"Newsflash! You can't drink and then come to work!"

      She recognizes that look. Peels away the sharp gaze, the slow thin of River’s mouth. Magnolia is a rare gem in a cobble of muck and mud–that’s neither here nor there. River’s thoughts are her own, just as Quinn’s are. Even so, she regards the other woman in a way that’s almost feline: strangely knowing, coy, but never quite telling. Her mouth curves, and Quinn shakes her head, chiding.

      “The Minutemen are working on rebuilding. Maybe I heard her wrong.” Maybe. “But I was under the impression that you knew a thing or two about some of the old establishments that they had set up before–well. You know. One establishment in particular, actually.”

"Ahh. Uncomfortable silences and alcohol. Just like thanksgiving at home."

"You have no chance of being normal."

"Don't ever be afraid to come to me with stuff like that."

"Newsflash! You can't drink and then come to work!"

"OMG would you guess that I'm not wearing undies today?"

"Everything ends-- even the lives of families and friends."

"A juice box, and make it a motts goddamn it."

"Where you have you been all my life!?"

"When you know everything it's suddenly strange when you don't have a clue."

"My real passion is fanfiction."

"My head's confused but I know there's something in it."

"I want to know your story."

"Bitch. I ain't Cho-chang."

"Ridevines! What the hell can't they do!"

"They're remember me!"

"That Zefron poster is boss."

"I wanna be your friend forever."

"I never cared for stories until you entered mine."

"WHAT THE DEVIL IS GOING ON IN HERE?"

"You think killing people will make them like you. It doesn't. It makes them dead."

"In order to beat a man, you gotta be stronger than a man. You gotta be a WOMAN."

"I'd feel much better if you would stay here."

"But I don't have a job!"

"God. I can't stand people who don't read."

"1,001 nights with you is not enough to end."

"I wanna let her know I feel so queezy."

"I am a starship ranger!"

"I'm finally ready, so ready to go."

"You're a whole lot hotter with that lightning scar."

"Don't forget that dirt is solid and clouds can disappear."

"What the hell is a Huffelpuff?"

"This could mean danger."

"Everybody knows that's just the way it goes and there's nothing you can do."

"Take off your cloths."

"I want a rocket ship!"

"Do YOU have a rocker ship?!"

"We're there. We've reached that point."

"I'm not a baby! I'm twelve!"

"You are not permitted to touch!"

"I never expected to find someone like you."

"Tiger fucker!"

"You don't know you the way I do."

"He taught me how to love."

"If you don't go out there and die for something I will kill you for nothing."

"I guess that's what Harry Potter's all about."

"What remains of a man when that man is dead and gone?"

"I wanna be a modern dancer."

"I AM WOMAN. HEAR ME SMASH."

"... Hold you in a tight embrace and cuddle till we're blue."

"How will they tell my story?"

"Perhaps it's not too late to change the course of fate."

"Sorry. Did I just stutter?"

"There's a hidden swimming pool!"

"If I hide to save my life, what has my life been for?"

"Just because you care about stuff doesn't mean you're weak."

"I know you've seen the rough time, hell, I see them too, but I ain't seen anyone face them half as well as you."

"Daddy! Daddy! You came to love me!"

"Who cares about bein' another pipe dreamer?!"

"I'm in love with my best friend."

"You can't confuse me with numbers."

"I'll never be a hero."

"Thank dear dead God, man!"

"I wanna be somebody's buddy."

"I must be pretty great if you believed in me."

"JOEY RICHTER DICK JUST TOUCHED ME."

"I'm just a side kick, but I love being at your side."

"Wait. Not so fast."

"I'm the one who's gonna love you with all of his heat because that's what I've got."

"Who could care about a loser like me!?"

"I WANNA HAVE CARIBBEAN STUDIES WITH YOU!"

"What will I do without you to guide me?"

"I'm so sad that we are done, but that don't mean we can't do it again."

"So good to be gettin' laid."

"You can't hold on to what's gone."

"I came home."

"You can't just GO to Pigfarts! It's on mars!"

"This must be how it feels to have a home."

"Finally, I found a friend."
