1 " There aren't any syringes." Red Sox came over and held a sterile pack out. When she tried to take it from him, he kept a grip on the thing. " I know you'll use this wisely." " Wisely?" She snapped the syringe out of his hand. " No, I'm going to poke him in the eye with it. Because that's what they trained me to do in medical school. "
2 " A demigod!" one snarled." Eat it!" yelled another.But that's as far as they got before I slashed a wide arc with Riptide and vaporized the entire front row of monsters." Back off!" I yelled at the rest, trying to sound fierce. Behind them stood their instructor--a six-foot tall telekhine with Doberman fangs snarling at me. I did my best to stare him down." New lesson, class," I announced. " Most monsters will vaporize when sliced with a celestial bronze sword. This change is completely normal, and will happen to you right now if you don't BACK OFF!" To my surprise, it worked. The monsters backed off, but there was at least twenty of them. My fear factor wasn't going to last that long.I jumped out of the cart, yelled, " CLASS DISMISSED!" and ran for the exit. "

4 " Everyone thinks you've been kidnapped," he said. " We've been scouring the ship. When Coach Hedge finds out- oh, gods, you've been here all night?" " Frank!" Annabeth's ears were as red as strawberries. " We just came down here to talk. We fell asleep. Accidentally. That's it." " Kissed a couple of times," Percy said.Annabeth glared at him. " Not helping! "
5 " That's brain tissue. How can you-?" Claire shut her mouth, fast. " Never mind. I don't think I wanna know." " Truly, I think that's best. Please take it." He showed his teeth briefly in a very unsettling grin. " I'm giving you a piece of my mind." " I so wish you hadn't said that. "
6 " I got you to look after me, and you got me to look after you, and that'swhy. "

7 " HANNAH: You had a vision.PRIOR: A vision. Thank you, Maria Ouspenskaya. I'm not so far gone I can be assuaged by pity and lies.HANNAH: I don't have pity. It's just not something I have.(Little pause)One hundred and seventy years ago, which is recent, an angel of God appeared to Joseph Smith in upstateNew York, not far from here. People have visions.PRIOR: But that's preposterous, that's...HANNAH: It's not polite to call other people's beliefs preposterous.He had great need of understanding. Our Prophet. His desire made prayer. His prayer made an angel. The angel was real. I believe that.PRIOR: I don't. And I'm sorry but it's repellent to me. So much of what you believe.HANNAH: What do I believe?PRIOR: I'm a homosexual. With AIDS. I can just imagine what you ...HANNAH: No you can't. Imagine. The things in my head.You don't make assumptions about me, mister; I won't make them about you. "

9 " Dimitri moved closer to me, his eyes sparkling with a secret. " It gets better:you're Lissa's guardian." " What?" I almost pulled away. " That's impossible. They'd never..." " They did. She'll have others, so they probably figured it was okay to let you hang around if someone else could keep you in line," he teased." You're not..." A lump formed in my stomach, a reminder of a problem that has plagued so long ago. " You're not one of her guardian too, are you?" It had constantly been a concern, that conflict of interest. I wanted him near me. Always. But how could he watch Lissa and put her safely first if we were worried about each other? The past was returning to torment us." No. I have a different assignment." " Oh." For some reason, that made me a little sad too, even though I knew it was the smarter choice." I'm Christian's guardian." This time I did sit up, doctor's orders or no. Stitches tugged in my chest, but I ignored the sharp discomfort. " But that's...that's practically the same thing! "
10 " My idea of Heaven has nothing to do with fluffy clouds or angels. In my Heaven there's butter pecan ice cream and swimming pools and baseball games. The Brooklyn Dodgers always win, and I have the best seat in the house, right behind the Dodger's dugout. That's the only advantage that I can see about being dead: You get the best seat in the house. "

11 " You don't have to lie to me to be nice, Jake. You can just say, 'Wow, your nails look crappy.'" I did my best boy voice." Well, I will tell you that's a crappy imitation of my voice." He smiled so wide I could see his eyetooth from across the table. " But you've got to know you're totally hot, chipped nails and all." He burned beet red all the way to the roots of his hair. " Man, you get me to say some embarrassing stuff, Brenna." He rubbed his hand on the back of his neck." Hey, don't blame me when you feel moved to make strange declarations. "
