Agent Q, or The Smell of Danger! (Pals in Peril #4) QUOTES

1 " When spies aren't in sewer tunnels, they're usually crawling through air ducts. I'm not sure exactly why this is. It makes you kind of wonder: Are spies just frustrated maintenance men? Is that what spies really want to be doing? Plumbing? Air conditioner repair? I fear the day that they follow their dream, lay down their laser-gun cigarette lighters, and pick up wrenches. Our country will be in great peril, though with fewer toilets backing up and more of our houses at a uniform sixty-eight degrees Fahrenheit. "

― M.T. Anderson , Agent Q, or The Smell of Danger! (Pals in Peril #4)

2 " Who do we seek, my spies? Again and again, I announce to the world: I. M. Realdom! I. M. Realdom! I. M. Realdom! I cannot say it too often! Do you have that? "

― M.T. Anderson , Agent Q, or The Smell of Danger! (Pals in Peril #4)

3 " If you have read many adventure novels, you'll know that spies spend about half of their time in the sewers. They run along sewer tunnels, shooting. They find secret hideaways in sewers. They take weird funeral barges through sewers, poled along by old men in hoods. In fact, if a spy's kid wants to get a message to their mom or dad, the easiest way to do it is just to flush it down the toilet. "

― M.T. Anderson , Agent Q, or The Smell of Danger! (Pals in Peril #4)

4 " One of the best things about road-tripping with monks is that monks are used to repeating chants over and over and over, so they really don't mind songs like 'Ninety-nine Bottles of Beer on the Wall' or 'The Song That Never Ends. "

― M.T. Anderson , Agent Q, or The Smell of Danger! (Pals in Peril #4)

5 " Dear reader. Dear, dear reader. Here we find ourselves, you and me, engaged in a book in which someone has just exclaimed, in all seriousness, 'The sentient lobsters!'

How did we end up here? Did we make some mistake along the way? "

― M.T. Anderson , Agent Q, or The Smell of Danger! (Pals in Peril #4)
