Or in my case, post a short excerpt, 'cause I don't know whether "three lines" means "three sentences" or what, and also I want it to make some sort of sense.

Alex’s assistant, who had gone down with the landing party, confirmed what Alex had suspected from the aerial surveys: the plant life had originated on earth. The other biologists agreed. Somebody had seeded this planet with terran plants, microbes, and invertebrates.
“How long ago was it?” Natacha asked.
“I’ll have a better idea once I do a thorough survey of the ribosomal RNA,” Alex said. “But from the phyla we’ve observed, I’d say no earlier than 200 million years ago, no later than 65 million.”
“So, long before there were humans, then.”
Alex smiled. “Yes. Long before.”
“Then who do you suppose did it?”

"You must not fear me. Have I ever treated you cruelly?”
“No, O my mistress.”
Veledis shook her head ruefully. “And if I had, would you have answered yes?”

Lucy: Hmm...I think I’m going to say this spell to make me beautiful, even if it has disastrous consequences....Okay, I’m going to say it now, I mean it....I’m saying it...

Lucy: Hah! I knew that would do it. Aslan, you’re here somewhere, I know you are. Come out, come out, wherever you are!...Dammit, you’re going to make me go through this whole rigmarole before you appear, aren’t you? Aren’t you?
Aslan: Yup.
Lucy: Who said that?
Aslan: Not me.
Lucy: Just say the goddamned spell and make these whatever-they-are visible again, will you?! Why make me do it when you can just do it with a flick of your goddamned whiskers?!... [sighs] Oh, have it your way. Now, where was I...Ooh, an eavesdropping spell! Cool! I’d better try this one....Aslan? Aren't you going to stop me?...I’m saying it now. I’m really going to say it....okay, here goes...usually at this point you appear and stop me...hey, are you really going to let me do it this time? Man, you are devious...
