Ahem. I thought that I'd start off something I call "Best Moments from Symphony No. 1". I thought I'd hold off until Gryphon puts out Pavane for a Dead Princess, but then I thought, what the heck. So, out of all seven movements, six entr'actes, one intermezzo, and one interlude, I came up with... Okay, so the list isn't finalized, so I can't really state a number. And I'm starting to sound silly, so I think I'll just put up the damn list. Please understand that this is purely my own personal list, so it may (will, actually) differ from yours. In no particular order, they are:

1. Corwin blundering into Morgan 413 and getting Juri's jacket wrapped around his head at the end of Duelists of the Rose
2. Dorothy's observation of her bed, also in Duelists
3. Utena's speech to the Administrative Review Panel for the proposal for the foundation of the Institute Duelists' Society, still in Duelists
4. Again in Duelists:

       "Oh, we can fix that," said Zoner.  He took back the red WDF
Credit Union card, slid it into a slot on a small PDA-type device,
made a few adjustments with a stylus, and handed the card back after
it beeped, saying, "There.  Now you're well-endowed."
       There was a brief, awkward pause.  Juri raised an eyebrow.
       "You have a lot of money," said Zoner, his expression wooden. 

       "I guess it's the couch for me tonight," she said.  Then she
turned her dark eyes on Miki, a touch of an impish smile on her face,
and added as he took a sip of his water, "Unless you'd rather sleep
with one of us." 

       "When I went home for the spring interval," said Amanda
matter-of-factly, "my younger sister made four separate attempts on my
life, one of which, as you can see, was very nearly successful."  She
blinked her good eye coolly at the counselor and added, "What do your
talents and training say to that?" 

Admittedly, this list is very preliminary, and I'll probably have to come back to edit it later on, discarding some and adding others, but I think it's off to a good start. Think it's weird? Well, I'm a weird guy. Don't see your favorites up there or disagree with some (all?) of my choices? Well, start a list of your own! No one says you can't, you know? And now, everyone, good night.

Naaa... YOu've pretty well covered it as far as I'm concerned.

Jer told Vaughn about me. I am once again a victim of Murphy's law...

1. The game-ending double play in Game 7 in Wounded Rose
2. Utena's beating of Mike Carpenter in Christmas Rose
3. Gryphon being ejected out of the side of the dojo and landing in the koi pond, where he spends the next minute underwater contemplating as everyone else simply look on in A Rose for the New Year
4. Also in New Year, Utena confronting Dorothy about the Turing application and Corwin's plans to send her to WPI
5. G'Kron, the two Kalidor missionaries, and the Book of G'Quon in A Question of Faith
6. Saionji and Utena's antics with ice and the Frialator, also in Question
7. Kate's search for a vending machine in the Hotel des Deus Iles in The Rose that Blooms in the City of Light
8. Saionji's actions on the train in Reflections in Transition
9. Tiny Robo and his Atomic Buster Cannon in Hunted Rose
(Side note: Corwin once mentioned "future expansion" for this little critter. If it includes a weapons upgrade, I'm not sure if I want to know what else he puts into Tiny Robo.)

I doubt that I'll come back to edit this list--I spent most of yesterday and today skimming through the stories, and the above are all I pulled out. As I've repeatedly stated before, this is my own personal list, composed of entirely my own opinions, so you are free to disagree with it. I didn't include Ivanova's blinktake because I didn't feel it was all that special; obviously, this is only what I feel. Others, such as Mr. Schroeck, may (and can) feel otherwise.
