Grover QUOTES

1 " Let us find the dam snack bar," Zoe said. " We should eat while we can." Grover cracked a smile. " The dam snack bar?" Zoe blinked. " Yes. What is funny?" " Nothing," Grover said, trying to keep a straight face. " I could use some dam french fries." Even Thalia smiled at that. " And I need to use the dam restroom." ...I started cracking up, and Thalia and Grover joined in, while Zoe just looked at me. " I do not understand." " I want to use the dam water fountain," Grover said." And..." Thalia tried to catch her breath. " I want to buy a dam t-shirt. "

2 " Poison!" Grover yelped. " Don't let those things touch you or..." " Or we'll die?" I guessed." Well...after you shrivel slowly to dust, yes." " Let's avoid the swords," I decided. "

3 " Percy: I thought I’d lost my mom forever, and I was stuck on a hill in a thunderstorm fighting this huge bull dude while Grover was passed out wailing. “Food!” It was terrifying, man. "

4 " Let us find the dam snack bar," Zoe said. " We should eat while we can." Grover cracked a smile. " The dam snack bar?" Zoe blinked. " Yes. What is funny?" " Nothing," Grover said, trying to keep a straight face. " I could use some dam frenchfries." Even Thalia smiled at that. " And I need to use the dam restroom." Maybe it was the fact that we were so tired and strung out emotionally, but I startedcracking up, and Thalia and Grover joined in, while Zoe just looked at us. " I do notunderstand." " I want to use the dam water fountain," Grover said." And…" Thalia tried to catch her breath. " I want to buy a dam T-shirt." I busted up, and I probably would've kept laughing all day, but then I heard a noise:" Moooo." The smile melted off my face. I wondered if the noise was just in my head, but Groverhad stopped laughing too. He was looking around, confused. " Did I just hear a cow?" " A dam cow?" Thalia laughed. "

5 " Mr. D," Grover asked timidly, " if you're not going to eat it, could I have your Diet Coke can? "

6 " Grover and Nico came back from their walk, and Grover helped me fix up my wounded arm." It's green!" Nico said with delight. "

7 " I wondered if Grover could still read my emotions, mixed up as they were. "

8 " Grover was sniffing the wind, looking nervous. He fished out his acorns and threw them into the sand, then played his pipes. They rearranged themselves in a pattern that made no sense to me, but Grover looked concerned. " That's us," he said. " Those five nuts right there." " Which one is me?" I asked. " The little deformed one," Zoe suggested. " Oh, shut up. "

9 " Hoover Dam," Thalia said. " It's huge." We stood at the river's edge, looking up at a curve of concrete that loomed between the cliffs. People were walking along the top of the dam. They were so tiny they looked like fleas.The naiads had left with a lot of grumbling—not in words I could understand, but it was obvious they hated this dam blocking up their nice river. Our canoes floated back downstream, swirling in the wake from the dam's discharge vents." Seven hundred feet tall," I said. " Built in the 1930s." " Five million cubic acres of water," Thalia said.Graver sighed. " Largest construction project in the United States." Zoe stared at us. " How do you know all that?" " Annabeth," I said. " She liked architecture." " She was nuts about monuments," Thalia said." Spouted facts all the time." Grover sniffled. " So annoying." " I wish she were here," I said. "

10 " Grover murmured, " Well, Percy, what have we learned today?" That three-headed dogs prefer red rubber balls over sticks?" No," Grover told me. " We've learned that your plans really, really bite! "

11 " When I got across, I looked back and saw Tyson giving Grover a piggyback ride (or was it a goatyback ride?). "

12 " But I've never even been to Olympus! Zeus is crazy!" Chiron and Grover glanced nervously at the sky. The clouds didn't seem to be parting around us, as Grover had promised. They were rolling straight over our valley, sealing us in like a coffin lid.Er, Percy ...?" Grover said. " We don't use the c-word to describe the Lord of the Sky. "

13 " Grover Underwood of the satyrs!" Dionysus called.Grover came forward nervously." Oh, stop chewing your shirt," Dionysus chided. " Honestly, I'm not going to blast you. For your bravery and sacrifice, blah, blah, blah, and since we have an unfortunate vacancy, the gods have seen fit to name you a member of the Council of Cloven Elders." Grover collapsed on the spot." Oh, wonderful," Dionysus sighed, as several naiads came forward to help Grover. " Well, when he wakes up, someone tell him that he will no longer be an outcast, and that all satyrs, naiads, and other spirits of nature will henceforth treat him as a lord of the Wild, with all rights, privileges, and honors, blah, blah, blah. Now please, drag him off before he wakes up and starts groveling." " FOOOOOD," Grover moaned, as the nature spirits carried him away.I figured he'd be okay. He would wake up as a lord of the Wild with a bunch of beautiful naiads taking care of him. Life could be worse. "

14 " He gave me the brochure. It was about the Hunters of Artemis. The front read, A WISE CHOICE FOR YOUR FUTURE! Inside were pictures of young maidens doing hunter stuff, chasing monsters, shooting bows. There were captions like: HEALTH BENEFITS: IMMORTALITY AND WHAT IT MEANS FOR YOU! and A BOY-FREE TOMORROW!" I found that in Annabeth's backpack," Grover said.I stared at him. " I don't understand." " Well, it seems to me… maybe Annabeth was thinking about joining." I'd like to say I took the news well.The truth was, I wanted to strangle the Hunters of Artemis one eternal maiden at a time. "

15 " Zoe readied her arrows. Grover lifted his pipes. Thalia raised her shield and I noticed a tear running down her cheek. Suddenly it occurred to me: this had happened to her before.She had been cornered on Half-
Blood Hill. She'd willingly given her life for her friends. But
this time she couldn't save us. "

16 " We couldn’t have done it without somebody else! We couldn’t have won this race or got the Fleece or saved Grover or anything! We owe our lives to Tyson, Percy’s…’
‘Brother!’ I said, loud enough for everybody to hear. ‘Tyson, my baby brother.’
Tyson blushed. The crowd cheered. Annabeth planted a kiss on my cheek. "
