1 " Do you remember that mother in the park who flung sacks of dog shit at a group of kids after one kid looked at her daughter wrong?” I ask her very seriously. “Of course I do. That woman was batshit crazy. Why are you—” “Because you’re more embarrassing "

2 " Why are you driving?!” I shout at her. “How are you driving?!” “Because you can’t have a fast getaway if you’re doing the speed limit!” she snaps. “And I have ghost powers, eejit! "
3 " Anna returns from an impossible death right around the time when Idun rises, and we’re just all going to ignore it. Cool. Makes sense,” I finally state, since I’m the only one who seems to have a motherfucking problem with Anna being alive. Well, not dead. Well, not dead for the second time. "
4 " What sort of action needs to be taken on a scale of one to death? "
5 " That fucking wanker. I’m going to tear off the wanker’s wanker and give it to another wanker who wants a wee wanker. "
6 " You chopped off your own foot when I tried to teach you to use a sword, Violet. You lost an arm learning to swing an axe, for Pete’s sake. Don’t even get me started on archery; I’ve never seen a person shoot their own kneecap. It’s not something that should be possible,” Marta says as she glares back over at Zuela. "
7 " Do you really want me to tell the girl you’re not allowing her to get her art piece because you think I want in her knickers?” he asks like he’s confused.“Violet! Vance is having daddy issues and is trying to talk him out of giving you the stained glass!” Anna yells very loudly.Vance’s eyes widen. “I’m going to fucking kill you for fifty-three years, you stupid son of a b—” He stops, calming himself, because his grandmomma was a damn fine woman who’d punch him in the nuts for calling her that word…if she knew what it meant.She always hated dogs. Especially female dogs. "
8 " I don’t have it in me to tell her that whatever she’s doing right now…isn’t rock-and-roll. It’s more like roll-to-a-corner-and-rock music. "
9 " Don’t piss off a wolf with PMS. Duly noted. "
10 " Damien was ready to die, until she came to town,” Arion states quietly, glossing over Damien’s interruption.“Now I’d rather see all of you die so I can just enjoy her by myself for a while,” Damien mutters like a petulant child, as he sniffs the baby’s ass and wrinkles his nose. “I’m not tending to that. You brought him, Vampyre. He’s your responsibility.”Arion sneers. “As if I know how to tend to a paper shit catcher. I’ve been underground. What was wrong with cloth diapers? The downside is the trash this era has created out of laziness and—”“Why are you off on this tangent to begin with, Arion? "
11 " And you can’t break up with friends the same as boyfriends. "
12 " because you think I’m young and have the mental fortitude of a marshmallow? "
13 " She’s spoiled the little crier. He apparently screams until you do what he says, and he hasn’t even learned to speak yet,” Emit states in observation. "
14 " I’m not sure why we’re all staring at the baby like it’s going to burst into flames or something. "
15 " You chopped off your own foot when I tried to teach you to use a sword, Violet. You lost an arm learning to swing an axe, for Pete’s sake. Don’t even get me started on archery; I’ve never seen a person shoot their own kneecap. It’s not something that should be possible, "
