Knight Smeg's "interesting lines" from the first books

I trusted another.  I trusted Xanatos completely, and disaster was the  
result.  1-? 

It was not a simple thing for one Jedi to touch the mind of another.  It was an intimate thing... 1-167 

"...hidden in a barrel of lubricant." (I missed this the first time though.  
The second I was reading it out loud to some kids and I just choked.  I had this vision of Obi finding it, but falling in, and returning all covered in  
the stuff...) - 1-82 

Were his feelings continually to take him unaware when it came to this boy?  
115 

The older man seemed to go very still, perhaps even to stop breathing, ,  
before he turned to his protégé. "I will do what I must Obi-Wan.  Would you have me any other way?" - N-229  

Xanatos began to circle around him. "We were friends at the end, more than Master and apprentice." "Yes... We were." 2-70 

"...But no, Qui-Gon is too good.  He is not tempted.  He is never tempted."  
- 2-71  

"You have gone too far this time."  "No." Xanatos' dark blue eyes glinted. He drew his lightsaber.  "Now I have gone to far." (I really feel the need  
to include the next line here, so...)  In a flash, Qui-Gon's lightsaber  
hummed to life. - 2-72  

Qui-Gon felt the power of Xanatos' stroke move up his arm. 2-72  

...he thrust and thrust again, always with a surprising angle or direction. 
2-72 

Qui-Gon used a slashing sequence of moves...(Sorry, I couldn't resist this)  
2-73 

Only the future mattered now.  Obi-Wan was the future.  2-74  

"Don't call me clumsy." (I just loved this line!) - 2-105 

"Yes , Qui-Gon.  I can do it.  I will do it." - 2-111  

Obi-Wan was still unsure of his master's feelings about him. - 3-2 

Would he ever please his new Master? - 3-6  

"So they weren't escorts.  I was wrong.  It happens." (This is Qui) 3-17 

His heart cried out for his Padawan to hear him. - 3-112  

"...It's a tight fit." "I can do it," Obi-Wan promised.  Keeping his speed  
steady, he dipped down lower.  "Slow down," Qui-Gon warned. "I can make it..."  (I forget who pointed this one out to me) - 5-4 

Qui-Gon turned to him and stared for a moment.  Obi-Wan couldn't read what was behind that keen blue gaze. (From Star) - 1-? 

Knowledge was so easily obtained here.  But where it came to the heart, so much was a mystery. (From Star) - 1-? 

Yet time and again he found his thoughts returning to Obi-Wan, to the look of defeat on the boy's face during their talk.  Why did the boy exert such persistent tug? (From Star) 1-?  

Qui-Gon forced himself to be honest.  The reason he couldn't feel close to Obi-Wan was because he wouldn't allow himself to. (From Star) 2-? 

Long had Qui-Gon followed the ways of the Force.  Now he felt it beckon him.  
"Run," it commanded.  "Go to Obi-Wan." (From Star) 1-?  

While he considered the odds, he thought about the way he and Obi-Wan had come to function together as a unit.  Though at times their relations could be bumpy, under pressure their rhythm matched, their thoughts clicked.  He admired his Padawan's ability to operate on all levels. (From Star) 5-22  

"There is always a way, Padawan." (Qui) - 5-6 

Nezad's "the slashy lines/special moments" of book #12 

If Qui-Gon were dead, he would know it.  He would feel it.  
(page 10) 

He reached into his tunic to remove the Force-sensitive stone that Qui-Gon had given him.  He often found comfort in turning the smooth stone around in his hand.  It made him feel closer to Qui- Gon.  (page 26) 

 "I have to find my Master, Tahl," Obi-Wan said steadily.  "I  
  feel him.  I know he needs me.  Let me go."  (page 44) 

The vapor rose around him as the walls surrounded him.  Qui- 
Gon felt despair rise with the enclosing walls.  
*I need you, Obi-Wan.  Find me soon.*  (page 52) 

Obi-Wan had to agree that he was following the slenderest of  
threads.  He tried to call Qui-Gon, reaching out to the Force.  He  
felt nothing.  He touched the stone inside his tunic and felt its  
reassuring warmth.  He could not shake the feeling that every step he  
took brought him closer to his Master.  (page 88) 

He approached the transparent chamber.  He put his hands on  
the smooth wall. Qui-Gon floated, his eyes still closed.  Obi-Wan  
felt choked with anguish at the sight.  He knew his Master was  
alive.  Yet he felt as though he had witnessed his death. 
He didn't think his voice would penetrate the chamber.  Obi- 
Wan spoke his Master's name quietly.  "Qui-Gon." 
Qui-Gon's eyes opened.  He saw Obi-Wan.  He smiled.  He  
mouthed the words.  
*I knew that you would come...* (page 134)  

As soon as she was gone, Obi-Wan hurried over to Qui-Gon.  He  
knew now that if he let Qui-Gon remain in that chamber, his Master  
would die.  He activated his lightsaber and cut a hole in the  
chamber.  The vapor escaped, and Qui-Gon began to fall.  Obi-Wan  reached in to help support him.  Qui-Gon half fell and Obi-Wan half  dragged him to the floor. 
"Master," Obi-Wan murmured brokenly.  It was shocking to see  
Qui-Gon so weak.  He always counted on his Master's strength. 
"You...must...help me, Padawan," Qui-Gon said, his white lips  
barely moving.  His face was very pale.  He held up his hands, palms  out.  Obi-Wan pressed his own palms against Qui-Gon's. 
He felt his Master's power flicker and reach out toward him.  
The Force moved between them.  Obi-Wan gathered it around him.  He felt the Force grow with their combined effort, felt it flow from his fingers into Qui-Gon. 
After a moment, the cloudiness in Qui-Gon's eyes  vanished.  "I can walk now," he said.  He rose to his feet.  Obi-Wan rose with him.  (page 136)  

"But you have no real evidence that someone else is here,"  
Obi-Wan said desperately. 
"But I know someone is," Qui-Gon said.  He turned to Obi- 
Wan.  He saw the desperation and dread in his Padawan's eyes.  "You  know what you must do, Padawan." 
"No," Obi-Wan said, shaking his head violently.  "I will not  
 leave you."  (page 143)  

Obi-Wan handed Qui-Gon his conlink.  Then he gave him his  
lightsaber.  It was the greatest gift one Jedi could give another.  
Qui-Gon placed his hand on the hilt. 
"I will keep it safe until you return for it," he said.  "Now  go." 
Astri hurried forward.  She pressed the button to access the  
door.  Fresh air rushed in with the scent of coming rain. 
Obi-Wan looked back at Qui-Gon.  Qui-Gon saw anguish and  
heartbreak on his Padawan's face.  "I will return." 
He nodded.  "I will be here."  (page 144)
