The World?
The Universe?
God-hood?
All of the above?
Or maybe for just all human beings to actually utilize their faculties for rational thought, if they do indeed possess them...

Veruca Salt:
Gooses! Geeses!
I want my geese to lay gold eggs for Easter
It will, sweetheart
At least a hundred a day
Anything you say
And by the way
What?
I want a feast.
You ate before you came to the factory
I want a bean feast!
Oh, one of those
Cream buns and doughnuts and fruitcake with no nuts
So good you could go nuts
You can have all those things when you get home
No, now!!
I want a ball
I want a party
Pink macaroons and a million balloons
And performing baboons and ...
Give it to me
Rrhh rhhh
Now!
I want the world
I want the whole world
I want to lock it all up in my pocket
It's my bar of chocolate
Give it to me
Now!
I want today
I want tomorrow
I want to wear 'em like braids in my hair
And I don't want to share 'em
I want a party with room fulls of laughter
Ten thousand tons of ice cream
And if I don't get the things I am after
I'm going to scream!
I want the works
I want the whole works
Presents and prizes and sweets and surprises
Of all shapes and sizes
And now
Don't care how
I want it now
Don't care how
I want it now
;D ;D ;D

Well, I'd better do this before Martin does, because he will.
"I want to live just long enough to be there when they cut off your head and put it on a pike as a warning to the next ten generations that some favors come with too high a price. I want to look up into your lifeless eyes and wave, like this... *waves* Can you and your associates arrange that for me, Mr. Morden?" -- Vir Cotto, Babylon 5, "In the Shadow of Z'ha'dum"
If anyone can think of a good variation of that situation which would fit into my Snapefic, I'd be much obliged.... it's one of the coolest lines ever.
*nudges Big Brother*

Unfortunately, I'd need a better idea of what the detailed plot of your story is than can be gleaned from a fairly cryptic set of chapter titles.
But just off the top of my head...
Saying it directly to Tommy-boy Riddle would be a bad idea. Every-molecule-in-your-body-exploding-at-the-speed-of-light sort of bad.
Having Snape say it to any of the death eaters would be similarly bad. Instantly kill his credibility as a DE.
Perhaps some less-than-brilliant Death Eater can try to recruit noted pureblood troublemaker James Potter into Voldy's gang, and get a modified version of Vir's desire as his response? Nah.
Last words of Regulus Black? Eh.
But as for what *I* want, I must very ashamedly quote Johnny Mnemonic: "I want ten-thousand-dollar-a-night WH0RES!"

Yes, and I'd love to see Lucius Malfoy cry like a baby and beg for his life.... but I don't think I can work it into my fic. ::sigh:: I'm thinking about using it by having a student mouth off to a Hogwarts teacher... possibly Snape to Prof. McGonagall... it would help set up the stuff I've got planned for the last few chapters of Part One. I'm ashamed no one's posted this: "I want you to die slowly, cut into a thousand pieces." -- Buttercup, The Princess Bride |

To pretty much anyone, in all cases. But I suddenly had a vision of this sort of scene... Okay, not horribly realistic, and I seem to have turned Voldy into a particularly incompetent James Bond supervillain. But what else can you expect from a guy who creates himself a scary name that is an anagram of the birth-name he claims to despise? I get the feeling Voldy's final end won't even be as dignified as being dragged out of a hole in someone's backyard by a couple of gun-toting Marines. More likely, he'll trip over the hem of his long black robes (impressive looking, but not terribly practical) and accidentally impale himself on his own wand. |

LOL... can I add something?
Voldemort's wand was out and in a flash of green light, death was speeding towards Snape.
Severus sat bolt upright in bed, covered in a cold sweat... [continue from there]
This scenario would be good, because it demonstrates what Snape's subconcious is saying. He would like to kill Voldemort, behead him even, (and Nick would tell you that this is not a very ... antiseptic form of death) also, it demonstrates his fear of being killed while in the line of duty and his reluctance to be a spy (note the words sticking in his throat, and his final answer) also, it shows that he actually has confidence in the Order, that they trust each other in Snape's mind at least. Finally it demonstrates his desire to no longer be a spy, to 'come clean' as it were...
Anyway... my two sickles...

Okay, not horribly realistic, and I seem to have turned Voldy into a particularly incompetent James Bond supervillain. Oh, and he's not already? :-P He's got "chatty-Cathy" syndrome and everything. I have half a temptation to give Voldemort a fluffy white cat after I saw this creepy picture of one in a book, with one red eye and one green eye (taken using a special light).

Yeah. Thank you for writing the Snapefic for me, Mlle. ;D Sorry :-( I mean, you don't have to use it, of course... I mean... I just thought I'd help.... |

Sorry :-( I mean, you don't have to use it, of course... I mean... I just thought I'd help.... LoL.... no, I'm sorry, Mlle....  it's just that your astute psychological analysis of Snape, plus the role of the dream... it was so close to things I had planned for my original draft of the Snapefic and the 6th/7th year stories, and I was a bit frustrated that I hadn't kept them. Also, you're hitting a bit close to home on the Snapefic with "it demonstrates his fear of being killed while in the line of duty and his reluctance to be a spy"... most Snape-based fics have him as Super-Spy!Snape, where he loves his job.... but no. My Snape has some semblance of sense. He knows being a spy is a crappy job and he'd rather not do what Dumbledore has asked him to do, because he fears greatly for himself. Would he be a good Slytherin if he didn't? |

LOL...Superspy!Snape LOL....
Yeah I know what you mean... I don't suspect Snape likes being a spy either... especially judging by DD's statement in GoF of 'If you are willing, if you are prepared' (or something like that). I don't think that sounds like something DD would have said to 'Snape, Severus Snape - I like my potions shaken, not stirred.' It sounds more to me like DD didn't even want to ask him to do whatever it is he asked him to do, but had to because it's neccessary for the cause.'
Also, look at what he said to Sirius in OotP about risking his butt. It sounds to me like a deep seated fear of being caught, more than a jibe as Sirius' inactivity.
