25 " Okay, so I fibbed a little about the kids. I didn’t want her to feel bad. I mean we can’t all be lucky enough to have a hamster. "
26 " Ranger took his SEALs hat off and put it on me, tucking my hair behind my ears, letting his hands linger a moment too long. “You have to believe in what you’re doing.” That could be a problem. And Ranger could be a problem. I was feeling much too attracted to him. "
27 " was dressed in black jeans, black motorcycle boots, a black T-shirt, and a black leather motorcycle jacket. "
28 " I want nothing. There is no pizza. There is no you, no me, no us, no pizza. And don’t ever call me again, you scummy, slimy fungus-ridden dog turd, piece of fly crud. "
29 " Maybe Bunchy was actually Allen Funt in disguise, and I was on funniest bounty hunter bloopers. Margaret "
30 " Congratulations. You caught yourself a Munchkin. "
31 " I rolled my eyes so far into the back of my head I saw myself Thinking“- Stephanie Plum High Five "

33 " I ate the 100 Grand bar first, and then the Kit Kat, "
34 " Well, damn,” Lula said, “I can hear his little feet going, but I can’t see him. He’s lost in between all these cars. "
35 " there who’ll take advantage. "
36 " My mother came into the kitchen. “Whose car is that parked in front of our house?” “That’s Stephanie’s new car,” Grandma said. “Isn’t it a pip?” One of my mother’s eyebrows raised in question. “Two new cars? Where are these cars coming from?” “Company cars,” I said. “Oh?” “Anal sex is not involved,” I told her. My mother and grandmother both gasped. “Sorry,” I said. “It just slipped out.” “I thought only homosexual men did anal sex,” Grandma said. “Anybody with an anus can do it,” I told her. “Hmm,” she said. “I got one of them. "
37 " You gonna take the case?"It's not a case. It's a missing person. Sort of."You're gonna have a devil of a time finding him if it was aliens," Grandma said. "
38 " We need some french fries to celebrate with,” Lula said after I bought the dress.“My treat.”“I can’t have french fries. Another ounce and I won’t get into the dress.”“French fries are a vegetable,” Lula said. “They don’t count when it comes to fat.

I just don't want to marry you. "
40 " Will you look at this," Grandma said. "Closed casket. Isn't this a fine howdy-do. I get dressed up and come out to pay my respects, and I don't even get to see anything."Martha Deeter was shot and autopsied. They'd taken her brain out to get weighed. After she was put back together she probably looked like Frankenstein. I was personally relieved to see a closed casket. "
