1 " I ran three miles, staggered into the lobby, and took the elevator back to my apartment. No point to overdoing this exercise junk. --Stephanie Plum "
― Janet Evanovich , Two for the Dough (Stephanie Plum, #2)
2 " In spite of all the sparring that went on between us, I sort of liked Morelli. Good judgment told me to stand clear of him, but then I've never been a slave to good judgment. "
3 " I don't need shoes. I need a night scope. You think they sell night scopes someplace here? "
4 " It's not a nice thing to send a penis to a woman. It's disrespectful. "
5 " It's a penis,' Grandma said. 'Stephanie got it in the mail. It's a pretty good one too. "
6 " My father would eat cat shit if it was salted, fried, or frosted, but it took an act of Congress to get him to eat a vegetable. "
7 " I rented Ghostbusters, my all-time favorite inspirational movie. I picked up some microwave, popcorn, a KitKat, a bag of bite-sized Reese's peanut butter cups, and a box of instant hot chocolate with marshmallows. Do I know how to have a good time, or what? "
8 " I don't believe this," Morelli yelled. "I don't fucking believe this. What do you do, sit in bed at night and think about ways to fuck up my life? "
9 " With the exception of dessert, food is food. "
10 " Any intelligent woman would have made a dignified retreat, but this was New Jersey, where dignity always runs a poor second to the pleasure of getting in someone's face. "
11 " My father was in the kitchen putting a new washer in the kitchen faucet. He looked relieved to see Morelli standing in the hallway. He'd probably prefer I bring home someone useful, like a butcher or a car mechanic, but I guess cops are a step up from undertakers. "
12 " I rushed us out of your parents' house because I didn't think I could manage two hours at the dinner table with everyone focused on Joe Loosey's joystick sitting in the refrigerator next to the applesauce. "
13 " There was an air of satisfaction to the house at the end of the day. Maybe the day hadn't gone exactly right, but the day had been lived and the house had been there for its family. "
14 " Some people learn from books, some listen to the advice of others, some learn from mistakes. "
15 " Sliced off like a chicken neck and stuck with a hatpin. Reminded me of my husband.” Lula leaned forward so she could whisper. “You talking about size? Was your man’s part that big?” “Heck no,” Grandma said. “His part was that dead. "
16 " I cut my eyes to the alley. Ranger was still there, doubled over the steering wheel, shaking with laughter. "
17 " Lula leaned forward so she could whisper. “You talking about size? Was your man’s part that big?” “Heck no,” Grandma said. “His part was that dead. "
18 " His participation was in the ballpark of a pity fuck. "
19 " uh-oh," Ranger said. "you been reading those Nancy Drew books again? "
20 " He could freeze his stupid dick off for all I cared. "
