Kindle Notes & Highlights
‘Faeries,’ I muttered. ‘Why did it have to be faeries?’
‘Rip her dress off!’ Bob shouted.
‘That’s what I’m talking about!’ Bob hollered as more pages turned.
‘Your nose is all swollen up and you’ve got two black eyes. You look like a raccoon. Holding a dislocated ass.’
Who would dislocate a donkey? o.O
“Help me, help me! It’s the Billy Goats Gruff!”
‘Why don’t you ever use pentagrams? All I ever see you draw is circles.’ I shrugged. ‘PR mostly. Run around making lots of five-pointed stars in this country and people start screaming about Satan. Including the satanists.
‘This is my box knife! There are many who like it, but this one is mine!’
Who do you think keeps the Dread Beast Mister from killing the brownies when they come to clean up your apartment? We do! Who lays low the mice and rats and ugly big spiders who might crawl into your bed and nibble on your toes? We do! Fear not, Za-Lord! Neither the foulest of rats nor the cleverest of insects shall disturb your home while we draw breath!’
Marcone was criminal scum, but I’ll give the rat his due - he’s got balls that drag the ground when he walks.
Make him walk across rough terrain! Broken glass! Caltrops!
Inky, Binky, and Pinky
Waka waka!
‘It’s easier to replace an apartment than your ass,’
Nonsense. Try Donkeys 'R' Us.
‘Where are we headed?’ ‘To where they treat me like royalty,’ I said. ‘We’re going to Burger King?’
What happened to your face?’ ‘It’s always like this,’ I said. ‘I forgot to put on my makeup today.’
‘It’s in the trees,’
It's coming!
‘Did you know,’ she said, ‘that this kind of glue was originally developed as an emergency battlefield suture?’ ‘Did you know that you’re about to find out what I had for breakfast this morning?’ I countered. ‘I don’t know if it’s true,’ she continued. ‘I saw it in a movie. With - dammit - with werewolves.’
Dog Soldiers, if my guess is correct.
‘The king and his land are one,’ Sanya intoned solemnly. ‘Well, yeah.’ Sanya nodded. ‘Michael showed me that movie.’ ‘Merlin was the only good thing about that movie. That and Captain Picard kicking ass in plate mail with a big ax.’
Excalibur. LOL. And a rather unfair appraisal, too.
A pair of dolphins swept by us in the water, flicking their heads out to get a look at us as they went. One of them made a chittering sound that wasn’t very melodic. The other twitched its tail and splashed a little water our way, all in good fun. They weren’t the attractive Flipper kind of dolphins. They were regular dolphins that aren’t as pretty and don’t get cast on television. Maybe they just refused to sell out and see a plastic surgeon. I held up a fist to them. Represent.
‘You think that pathetic sot bested Father?’ Deirdre said with scorn.
Is Harry a drunkard? Where did she get that idea?
