Best Line in an FPW Book - Grimjack - 10-21-2010
Greetings All,
I am looking for a show of hands (on keyboards) to find your favorite 'one-liner' in an FPW book. Not actually jokes (but they can count), just a line in a book which started you thinking, made you pause, or just 'got to you'.
For me, it was in Nightworld, which a lot of you out there have not had a chance to read yet, where Jack [SPOILER]called Rasalom 'A real dirt bag' after shooting him and finding out his skin was filled with dirt and was moving like a puppet by Rasalom's power.[/SPOILER] I was rolling, it was hilarious.
Now, I think the best line is in Fatal Error. Seems like a lot of people really enjoyed Vicky's outburst in the airport. I could just see her sitting there, all innocent and honest, saying those words and not knowing the significance. Not only of the words themselves but of the implications of what Jack could, and did, do. First I just stared at the page, wondering if I had actually read what I thought I had, then I couldn't stop laughing and finally I thought, this type of interaction HAD to have come from real-life. If so, I would very much enjoy hearing FPW tell THAT anecdote.
Looking forward to all replies.

A friend's grandchild said that. I HAD to use it.

From Fatal Error......Abe to Jack, "Ammo is a good thing, and you can't have to much of a good thing."
Sorry don't have my copy handy for the exact quote, but thats close.

From Conspiracies When Jack and Gia are talking about those that believe in aliens. Cracks me up everytime I think about it.
I've borrowed the phrase a few times.
"To me, they're nut cases. I mean, talk to any one of them for 5 minutes and you KNOW that someone has stopped payment on their reality check."

Welcome to the board! If your user name is any clue, it looks like you like Makarov's too.

My all time favorite is from All The Rage!
"Just remember the Law: not to spill blood. Are we not men?"
I know it's a quote from a quote, but I still like it and use it often. Mostly people just look confused when I say it. That's half the fun.

From THE TOMB. You'll recall it.
"I lied."

SESOUP!

Does a line from DRACULAS count? If I remember correctly from the Kindle bonus materials, it was Paul's suggestion to include it...
"That's not a clown. That's just a guy dressed up to look like a clown!"
