This is the way it began that extraordinary night; the night "he" came. Let me just shut this thing off. What's that noise? Oh, my gosh! It's the infrared radio band. I've locked in to something in space; a pulsar or a satellite. Hello? Hello? This is K726XAA. Can you read me? They're answering but I don't recognize the language.
In a middle school full of bullies, insane teachers, and gross school lunches, Ned Bigby - that's me - and my two best friends try to do the impossible. Create a guide to help you survive school.
Note: Heard in the theme song that opens every episode. But, Ned is still the first character to speak in the first episode of the show.
It's the first day of school, and it can be totally frightening. But the key to surviving it is whether you're ready...or not.
Hello. Hi, my name is Leslie Knope and I work for the Parks and Recreation department. Can I ask you a few questions? Would you say that you are, "Enjoying yourself and having fun, "having a moderate amount of fun, and somewhat enjoying yourself", or "having no fun and no enjoyment?" I'm gonna put a lot of fun.

Let's go everybody, we're running late! Sandwich, sandwich, sandwich, carrot, carrot, carrot, apple, apple, dollar. Great ones improvised.
Today is a big day. Today is the day Lincoln Loud becomes a man. And I am super pumped! I've always been known as the Man with the Plan, but tonight, I'm gonna take it up a notch. My best friend Clyde and I will be watching the Rip Hardcore Midnight Marathon and getting our official Macho Man badges.
I'm afraid this comic book isn't good enough condition for us to buy it from you. There's a small corner crease, a slight discoloration along the spine, and...there's a huge hole in it. Sorry.
You think Gotham City is a peaceful city? Ho ho ho, put your gum under your seats, hold your breath, and get ready to cheer Batman and hiss his diabolical enemies. Hissable enemy number one is now about to strike.
If the photon is directed to the plane with two slits on it and either is observed, it will not go through both. If unobserved, it will.

So you see, what you're eating is not technically yogurt, because it doesn't have enough live acidophilus cultures. It's really just ice milk with carrageenan added for thickness.

Oh, thank god, we're home.

SHELDON, THIS IS NOT A GREAT TIME!!! WHAT DO YOU WANT?!?!?!

Excuse me, is it all possible that you're knitting a pair of pants?

I can't believe we're getting married, soon.
Who: Leonard Hofstadter (Season 9)
Note: Although, "The Matrimonial Momentum" is the start of Season 9, it could also be part 2 of the Season 8 finale as Sheldon and Amy have broken up in the middle of the episode and the the very end of the previous episode. If this was the Season 8 finale, then the Season 9 premiere would be "The Separation Oscillation" and Lenoard's first line of the season would be "Why are you up?".
Leonard? Leonard?

It feels like it wasn't that long ago we were doing this for Halley.
Captain's log, Stardate 41153.7. Our destination is Planet Deneb IV, beyond which lies the great unexplored mass of the galaxy. My orders are to examine Farpoint, a starbase built there by the inhabitants of that world. Meanwhile I'm becoming better acquainted with my new command - this Galaxy-class USS Enterprise. I'm still somewhat in awe of its size and complexity. As for my crew, we are short in several key positions, most notably a first officer, but I'm informed that a highly experienced man, one Commander William Riker, will be waiting to join the ship at our Deneb IV destination.
They are coming. Atom by atom, they will coil around us and take all that we are. There is one way to confront this threat. By reuniting the twenty-four warring houses of our own empire. We have forgotten the Unforgettable, the last to unify our tribes: Kahless. Together, under one creed, remain Klingon! That is why we light our beacon this day. To assemble our people. To lock arms against those whose fatal greeting is...we come in peace.
