21 " Aedus reached into the center console and pulled out a pair of sunglasses. There was hardly a cloud in the sky. He drove for ten minutes before the helicopter came in sight, gradually descending towards the airport in his opposite direction. He looked around for a place to make a U-turn, but there was no legal turn available. Aedus sighed. The things a good guy has to do.

25 " In learning from failure, there are stepping stones for success. "
26 " Jean smirked and raised an eyebrow at Leor. “Would you like to fly through the Louvre?”Leor couldn’t perceive how that would even be possible. But Jean would inevitably find a way. “No, no!” Leor ardently replied. “Let’s just land there and take a walk. Look at some statues, get some air.” “Ah, but do we not have plenty of air, flowing around up here in the skies?” Jean asked, diving down towards the Seine, and then sharply pulling up along one of the slopes.“Would you like me to vomit again?” Leor asked, with a hand near his mouth.

28 " You will shape up and get better... But you’ll always have others to rely on as well. It’s the fact that we’re not each a detective going solo. We’re together. The unique talents of our friends fill in where we lack. There’s nothing wrong with that. "

33 " Now chin up,” Puss said, moving Mark’s chin upwards. “Did you hear me? My plan? Your future wife?”“I’ll have a wife?” Mark said, still in a daze.“Details, details. You’ll have a girlfriend, I suppose,” Puss sighed. “Then she’ll become your wife. And out of your gratitude, you will find me a lifelong companion from the pet store…”Mark laid his head back and let out a stream of air. “I’m going to have a wife. And my cat can talk.

35 " ...for me, being a detective isn’t just about solving a case. It’s about bringing a resolution to all the loose ends, and to do all I can to help those who were involved. My friend, Leor, understands this very well, and I’m sure he’d do the same. It’s beyond chivalry.-Jean Rusé "
