1 " He wanted to wake up to her smile every day for the rest of his life, like some stupid coffee commercial on TV. "

2 " Damn, this op has been like a fucking Love Boat episode. "
3 " How do you know when you're in love?. . .When you look into his eyes, and you're more alive than you've ever felt," Annebet said. "When the very breath you take sends both fear and joy rushing through you, and you feel as if you might die if you can't see him again -- right now. When you want to shout and laugh and cry and curse all at once, when you burn for him to touch you, to make love to you, even though all your life you've been told that you mustn't, that you shouldn't, that you can't. It's when you feel yourself on the verge of becoming everything you've evre dreamed of being, when you can nearly touch your own potential because this other person gives you all of his strength and his power and you know he'd give you the very breath from his lungs if you asked. And you realize that you'll never be alone again because there's a piece of him that you'll carry with you, forever, in your heart. A heart that is infinitely bigger than it was just a week or two ago. "
4 " Love me unconditionally, so I can start learning to love myself, Senior Chief.Expect only the best from me, and I'll give it to you, Senior Chief. Give me shit when I slip and deserve shit because that's further proof that I matter to you, Senior Chief. Be my hero, Senior chief, and never let me down. In the past, it had been a burden at times -- his role of the infallible hero, the mighty senior chief -- but it had never been so heavy as it was right now. Because he'd seen something else in Teri Howe's eyes, something different, something he'd never seen in all of the hopeful young faces that had come before. Kiss me, Senior Chief. "
5 " Relentless repetition was usually needed when dealing with alcohol and idiots. "
