1 " I ripped my left arm out of his hand and slammed my elbow into his solar plexus. He exhaled in a gasp. I lunged for the dagger and sat on top of him, my knees pinning his arms, my dagger on his throat.He lay still. “I give up,” he said and smiled. “Your move.”Er. I was sitting atop the Beast Lord in my underwear, holding a knife to his throat. What the hell was my next move? "

2 " When in doubt, poke the beehive with a stick to see if anything interesting flies out.I clapped my hands. 'I had no idea Pit teams had such pretty cheerleaders. Can you do it again, but with more spirit this time? "
3 " Sh!t. F_ck sh!t.'....'Sh!t f_ck would have also been accepted. "
4 " Cats randomly refuse to follow orders to prove they can. "
5 " I think you’re confused as to the nature of our relationship. You and I, we don’t get along. You’re a psychopathic control freak. You order me around and I want to kill you. I’m a pigheaded insubordinate ass. I drive you mad and you want to strangle me. "
6 " You said sloppy! Look, I didn't even use my sword; I hit him with my head, like a moron. "
7 " Curran looked at me. “What the hell was I supposed to do, catch the werebison as he was falling? "

9 " You sure you don’t want me to stay? I’ll make you coffee and ask you about your day. "
10 " I dreamed that Curran and I killed a dinosaur and then had sex in the dirt. "
11 " Give me an opportunity to fail," Saiman said. "I promise my corpse won't interrupt your 'I told you so' speech. "
12 " He groaned and I saw his face. "Curran!" I would've preferred a homicidal lunatic. Oh, wait... "
13 " Keeping you safe keeps me in shape. "
14 " Cute. I think I would prefer to be stabbed in the eye rather than be called cute. "
15 " Kate Daniels, trained negotiator. When in possession of some valuable information, give it away to the first sexy man you see with no guarantee of return. "
16 " A shadow crossed Andrea's face. "I don't want to be his TWT-IHFB." "What does that mean?" "That Weird Thing I Haven't Fucked Before." I choked. "
17 " What kind of shapeshifter has orange fur anyway?" "Weredingo." Now I'd seen everything. Well, at least he didn't steal my baby. "
18 " Obviously I was missing the whole picture. Any minute now he would leap up, wrench the two-inch silver alloy bars apart despite the fact that silver was toxic to shapeshifters, and heroically kick Saiman's ass. Any minute now. Any minute. "
19 " She eats grass. Don’t ask. "
20 " She had wailed loudly enough to wake the dead and make them call the cops. "
