[after Voldemort's death, and the war was over, Harry stands over the broken bridge gazing at the deep abyss holding the Elder Wand]
Hermione Granger: [about Voldemort] Why didn't it work for him, the Elder Wand?
Harry Potter: It answered to somebody else. When he killed Snape, he thought the wand would become his, but the thing is, the wand never

belonged to Snape. It was Draco who disarmed Dumbledore that night in the Astronomy Tower. From that moment on, the wand answered him... until the other night when I disarmed Draco at Malfoy Manor.
Ron Weasley: So that means...
Harry Potter: [proudly] It's mine.
Ron Weasley: What should we do with it?
Hermione

Granger: [incredulously] We?
Ron Weasley: I'm just saying - that's the Elder Wand, the most powerful wand in the world. With that, we'd be invincible!
[Harry pauses and has second thoughts, then snaps the Elder Wand in half destroying its power before tosses the two halves into the abyss, Ron and Hermione proudly smile at Harry]

1st soldier with a keen interest in birds: Who goes there?
King Arthur: It is I, Arthur, son of Uther Pendragon, from the castle of Camelot. King of the Britons, defeater of the Saxons, Sovereign of all England!
1st soldier with a keen interest in birds: Pull the other one!
King Arthur: I am, and this is my

trusty servant Patsy. We have ridden the length and breadth of the land in search of knights who will join me in my court at Camelot. I must speak with your lord and master.
1st soldier with a keen interest in birds: What? Ridden on a horse?
King Arthur: Yes!
1st soldier with a keen interest in birds: You're using coconuts!

King Arthur: What?
1st soldier with a keen interest in birds: You've got two empty halves of coconut and you're bangin' 'em together.
King Arthur: So? We have ridden since the snows of winter covered this land, through the kingdom of Mercia, through...
1st soldier with a keen interest in birds: Where'd

you get the coconuts?
King Arthur: We found them.
1st soldier with a keen interest in birds: Found them? In Mercia? The coconut's tropical!
King Arthur: What do you mean?
1st soldier with a keen interest in birds: Well, this is a temperate zone
King Arthur: The swallow may fly

south with the sun or the house martin or the plover may seek warmer climes in winter, yet these are not strangers to our land?
1st soldier with a keen interest in birds: Are you suggesting coconuts migrate?
King Arthur: Not at all. They could be carried.
1st soldier with a keen interest in birds: What? A swallow carrying a

coconut?
King Arthur: It could grip it by the husk!
1st soldier with a keen interest in birds: It's not a question of where he grips it! It's a simple question of weight ratios! A five ounce bird could not carry a one pound coconut.
King Arthur: Well, it doesn't matter. Will you go and tell your master that Arthur from the

Court of Camelot is here?

King Arthur: Please!
1st soldier with a keen interest in birds: Am I right?

Krall: This is Abronath. It was used by the Ancient Ones as a weapon. But when they could not control its deadly power, they split it into two and ejected the halves into space, hoping it would be lost forever.
[a door closes, separating Uhura and Ensign Syl from Sulu]
Krall: But I am grateful. I have spent lifetimes searching for it, only to have

you find it for me. The poetry of fate. The world that I was born into is very different from yours, Lieutenant. We knew pain. We knew terror. Struggle made us strong. Not peace. Not unity. These are myths the Federation would have you believe.
Lieutenant Uhura: Those are strong words. You might even believe them, but there's something else going on with you. Something

underneath.
[another door closes, separating them from Ensign Syl]
Ensign Syl: Uhura!
Lieutenant Uhura: Wait. What are you doing with her? You already got what you wanted! Let her go! Syl!

Mike McDermott: [narrating while playing against teddy KGB] Here's the beauty of this game: I just got top two pair on the flop and I want to keep him in the hand. Against your average guy, I'd set a "bear trap", hardly bet at all, let him walk into it. But KGB's too smart for that. So, what I've got to do is over bet the pot,make it look like I'm trying to buy it.

Mike McDermott: I bet two thousand
Mike McDermott: [narrating] Then he plays back at me, and I get paid off.
Teddy KGB: [after reaching an Oreo cookie, splitting in two halves and putting the right half in his mouth] call
Mike McDermott: [Narrating] My guess is Teddy's on a flush draw.
Teddy

KGB: [checking his turn] Burn and turn.
Mike McDermott: [Narrating, while the turn card is dealt] There's my money card, nine of hearts. I got a full house.
Teddy KGB: [checking his turn, slow playing his hand] To the bettor.
Mike McDermott: Check's good.
Mike McDermott: [Narrating] Now I hope

a spade falls and Teddy makes his flush. That way he'll bet strong, and I'll beat him with my nines full over aces.
Teddy KGB: I'm going to bet fifteen thousand
Mike McDermott: [requesting a time out to think] time
Mike McDermott: All right, I call your fifteen plus I have another thirty three to raise you. Yeah, I'm gonna go

all in, 'cause I don't think you got the spades
Teddy KGB: You are right. I don't have spades.
Mike McDermott: [Narrating] I know before the cards are even turned over.
