41 " I know you’re going to find this hard to believe, but for some reason I don’t understand, I actually like you…most of the time. (Simone)Well, you also love Jesse. Obviously your taste in men leaves a lot to be desired. (Xypher) "
― Sherrilyn Kenyon , Dream Chaser (Dark-Hunter, #13; Dream-Hunter, #3)
42 " Right, and the definition of basic stupidity is to keep doing the same thing over and over again while expecting a different result. I’m not stupid. (Xypher)I didn’t say to keep doing it. Move forward with purpose. Examine what went wrong and correct that one mistake. (Acheron) "
43 " Start walking. When you hit a spot where you’re gasping for breath, that should tell us our limitations. (Xypher)Oh, joy. I can’t wait to be the guppy. (Simone)Glub, glub, little fishy. Start walking. (Xypher) "
44 " Don’t play that game with me, Acheron. Tell me what I need to know! (Xypher)Nice tone. We should rent you out to record Halloween albums. (Acheron) "
45 " Was it like this? (Jesse)(Jesse made an inhuman ghost noise.)That sounds like Darth Vader choking on a chicken bone. (Gloria) "
46 " Do you know what happened to the last person who took that tone with me? (Xypher)Let me guess…Disembowelment. Probably painful. Definitely slow. (Simone) "
47 " Want to come back to the morgue with me after lunch? (Tate)I shudder at the thought of the pickup line you must have used the night you met LaShonda. Come with me, baby, and see my collection of stiffs. (Simone) "
48 " Don’t be jealous, baby. We’ll get to you in a jiffy. (Daimon)Jiffy? What kind of pathetic wuss uses the word ‘jiffy’? (Xypher) "
49 " Your father wasn’t a positive influence on you, was he? (Simone)Being the god of nightmares, he wasn’t a warm fuzzy bunny. Unless you count Happy Bunny. Amazingly the two of them have a lot in common…And I have to say that I’ve developed a fondness for that pissy rodent. (Xypher) "
50 " What do you want with me? (Simone)Not a damn thing. All I want is an entrance into the Daimon hell so that I can visit and kill an old friend. You’re just the poor sap who got caught in the crossfire. (Xypher) "
51 " What made you so unforgiving? (Simone)Be grateful that you have the luxury of asking me that question. Pray to whatever god you worship that you’ll always be ignorant. (Xypher) "
52 " But for the last couple of weeks I’ve had this bizarre sensation that something is watching me. (Simone)You mean someONE, right? (Tate)I know it sounds crazy – (Simone)I just had a body walk off the table mid-autopsy and you think your story is nuts? (Tate) "
53 " Are you sure it’s not one of the ghosts you see eyeballing you? (Tate)No. They’re never this subtle. They usually pop in, like ‘yo, she-bitch, do my bidding.’ This…this is something else. (Simone) "
54 " Did you do that? (Simone)Sometimes my powers work. Sometimes they don’t. Looks like this time they did. Yea, us. (Xypher) "
55 " I don’t like being threatened, lied to, or manipulated. You’d do well to remember that. (Simone)Or what? You’re going to snivel at me? (Xypher) "
56 " Ectoplasmic plane? What the devil is that? (Simone)It’s jargon from those of us who are corporeally challenged. It’s the great beyond where we bounce into each other like floundering atoms. It’s really kind of gross – which is why I hang out with you. But only because you’re less gross than they are. (Jesse) "
57 " Maybe they’re customers. (Simone)For a doll store? Yes, I can just see them now…I’ll take the frilly pink baby doll. (Liza) "
58 " Fine. I’m a Skotos (Xypher)That means what? You have toe jam? (Simone) "
59 " Want a closer look? (Tate)Like a screwdriver through my eye socket. Sure, let’s have a look-see. (Simone)Ooo, welcome back, Ms. Snark. I’ve missed you. (Tate) "
60 " I beg your pardon. I’m not gross. (Simone)Grody to the max. Gag me with a spoon. I’ve seen you in the mornings. You’re not exactly well coiffed. (Jesse) "
