Favorite Percy Jackson/HoO quotes
The Lightning Thief quotes
Hades raised an eyebrow. When he sat forward in his throne, shadowy faces appeared in the folds of his black robes, faces of torment,as if the garment was stitched of trapped souls from the Fields of Punishment, trying to get out. The ADHD part of me wondered, off-task, whether the rest of his clothes were made the same way. What horrible things would you have to do in your life to get woven into Hades' underwear?
“Braccas meas vescimini!"
I wasn't sure where the Latin came from. I think it meant 'Eat my pants!
“Why can't you place a blessing like that on us?" I asked.
"It only works on wild animals."
"So it would only affect Percy," Annabeth reasoned.
"Hey!" I protested.”
---------------------------------------------------------
“Remind me again-why do you hate me so much?"
"I don't hate you."
"Could've fooled me."
She folded her cap of invisibility. "Look...we're just not supposed to get along, okay? Our parents are rivals."
Why?"
She sighed. "How many reasons do you want? One time my mom caught Poseidon with his girlfriend in Athena's temple, which is hugely disrespectful. Another time, Athena and Poseidon competed to be the patron god for the city of Athens. Your dad created some stupid saltwater spring for his gift. My mom created the olive tree. The people saw that her gift was better, so they named the city after her." -Annabeth
"They must really like olives."
"Oh, forget it."-Annabeth
"Now, if she'd invented pizza-that I could understand.”
I had weird dreams full of barnyard animals. Most of them wanted to kill me. The rest wanted food.
I'd love to tell you I had some deep revelation on my way down, that I came to terms with my own mortality, laughed in the face of death, et cetera.
The truth? My only thought was: Aaaaggghhhhh!
Grover murmured, "Well, Percy, what have we learned today?"
That three-headed dogs prefer red rubber balls over sticks?"
No," Grover told me. "We've learned that your plans really, really bite!”
“Meat!" he said scornfully. "I'm a vegetarian."
You eat cheese enchiladas and aluminum cans," I reminded him.
"Those are vegetables.”
“Your uncle," Poseidon sighed, "has always had a flair for dramatic exits. I think he would've done well as the god of theater.”
“The River Styx,' Annabeth murmured. 'It's so...'
'Polluted,' Charon said. 'For thousands of years, you humans have been throwing in everything as you come across - hopes, dreams, wishes that never came true. Irresponsible waste management, if you ask me.”
He had a note excusing him from PE for the rest of his life because he had some kind of muscular disease in his legs. He walked funny, like every step hurt him, but don't let that fool you. You should've seen him run when it was enchilada day in the cafeteria.
“Um," Grover said. "Percy?"
"Yeah?"
"I thought you'd want to know."
"Yeah?"
"Cerberus? He's saying we've got ten seconds to pray to the god of our choice.After that...well...he's hungry.”
“I held it up, and tried to channel happy dog thoughts toward Cerberus- Alpo commercials, cute little puppies, fire hydrants.”
“And do you know what a full-fledged war would look like, Percy?"
"Bad?" I guessed.
"Imagine the world in chaos. Nature at war with itself. Olympians forced to choose sides between Zeus amd Poseidon. Destruction. Carnage. Millions dead. Western civilization turned into a battleground so big it will make the Trojan War look like a water-balloon fight."
"Bad," I repeated.”
“In a way,its nice to know thereare Greek god out there,because you have somebody to blame whaen thing go wrong. For instance, when you're walking away from a bus that's just been attacked by moster hags and blown up by lightning, and its raing on top of everything else, most people would think that's just really bad luck; when you're a half-blood, you understand that some divine force really is trying to mess up your day.”
“Hey, guys!" Grover yelled somewhere above us. "I think she's unconscious!"
"Roooaaarrr!"
"Maybe not," Grover corrected.”
“Two U.S. Marine skeletons guarded the doors. They grinned down at us, rocket-propelled grenade launchers held across their chests.
"You know," Grover mumbled, "I bet Hades doesn't have trouble with door-to-door salesman.”
“I nodded, disappointed, but then I got an idea. "Hey, Grover. You want a magic item?"
His eyes lit up. "Me?"
Pretty soon we'd laced the sneakers over his fake feet, and the world's first flying goat boy was ready for launch.
"Maia!" he shouted.
He got off the ground okay, but then fell over sideways so his backpack dragged through the grass. The winged shoes kept bucking up and down like tiny broncos.
"Practice," Chiron called after him. "You just need practice!"
"Aaaaa!" Grover went flying sideways down the hill like a possessed lawn mower, heading toward the van.”
I didn't understand how. But the toilets had responded to me. I had become one with the plumbing...
Sea of Monsters quotes
My mom's funny that way, celebrating special occasions with blue food. I think it's her way of saying anything is possible. Percy can pass seventh grade. Waffles can be blue. Little miracles like that. -Percy
I’ve met plenty of embarrassing parents, but Kronos, the evil Titan Lord who wanted to destroy Western Civilization? Not the kind of dad you invited to
school for Career Day. -Percy
He'd changed since the last summer. Instead of Bermuda shorts and a T-shirt, he wore a button-down shirt, khaki pants, and leather loafers. His sandy hair, which used to be so unruly, was now clipped short. He look like an evil male model, showing off what the fashionable college-age villain was wearing to Harvard this year. -Percy
"Powdered donuts," Tyson said earnestly. "I will look for powdered donuts in the wilderness." He headed outside and started calling, "Here, donuts!"
“Dude! said a party pony as he unloaded his gear. Did you see that bear guy? He was all like: 'Whoa, I have an arrow in my mouth!”
“Hermes smiled. "I knew a boy once ... oh, younger than you by far. A mere baby, really."
Here we go again, George said. Always talking about himself.
Quiet! Martha snapped. Do you want to get set on vibrate?
Hermes ignored them. "One night, when this boy's mother wasn't watching, he sneaked out of their cave and stole some cattle that belonged to Apollo."
"Did he get blasted to tiny pieces?" I asked.
"Hmm ... no. Actually, everything turned out quite well. To make up for his theft, the boy gave Apollo an instrument he'd invented-a lyre. Apollo was so enchanted with the music that he forgot all about being angry."
So what's the moral?"
"The moral?" Hermes asked. "Goodness, you act like it's a fable. It's a true story. Does truth have a moral?"
"Um ..."
"How about this: stealing is not always bad?"
"I don't think my mom would like that moral."
Rats are delicious, suggested George.
What does that have to do with the story? Martha demanded.
Nothing, George said. But I'm hungry.
"I've got it," Hermes said. "Young people don't always do what they're told, but if they can pull it off and do something wonderful, sometimes they escape punishment. How's that?”
Tantalus made a wild grab, but the marshmallow committed suicide, diving into the flames.
Fish gathered to look at us - a school of baracudas, some curious marines. SCRAM! I told them. They swam off, but I could tell they went reluctantly. I swear I understood their intencions. They were about to star rumors flighing around the sea about the son of poseidon and some girl at the bottom of Siren Bay.
“But... you're still getting married?" Grover sounded hurt. "Who's the bride?" Ploypemus looked toward the boiling pot. Clarisse made a strangled sound. "Oh, no! You can't be serious. I'm not-”
Hermes gazed up at the stars. "My dear young cousin, if there's one thing I've learned over the eons, it's that you can't give up on your family, no matter how tempting they make it. It doesn't matter if they hate you, or embarrass you, or simply don't appreciate your genius for inventing the Internet-"
"You invented the Internet?"
It was my idea, Martha said.
Rats are delicious, George said.
"It was my idea!" Hermes said. "I mean the Internet, not the rats.”
“Whathat!" Tyson gasped.
"Those are the stables for the pegasi," I replied, "You know, winged horses?"
"Whasthat!"
"Um... those are the toilets.”
Percy: “You asked Poseidon for… me?”
Tyson: "For a friend, young cyclopes grow up alone on the streets, learns to make things out of scraps. Learn to survive."
Percy: “But that’s so cruel!”
Tyson: “Makes us appreciate blessings, not be greedy and mean and fat like Polyphemus. But I got scared. Monsters chased me so much, clawed me sometimes--"
Percy: “The scars on your back?”
Tyson: “Sphinx on Seventy-second Street. Big Bully. I prayed to Daddy for help. Soon the people at Meriwether found me. Met you. Biggest blessing ever. Sorry I said Poseidon was mean. He sent me a brother.”
“Tyson! Thank the gods, Annabeth is hurt!"
"You thank the gods that she is hurt?" he asked, puzzled.”
"A chain," she agreed. "And don't you think it's strange that one appeared immediately after you told Tyson to get donuts? Right here in the middle of the woods?"I thought about it. It did seem a little weird, but, I mean, donut shops weren't real high on my list of sinister forces.
Later that night, as we were roasting s'mores and listening to the Stoll brothers tell us a ghost story about an evil king who was eaten alive by demonic breakfast pastries,
The arts and crafts cabin had burned to the ground from an attack by a Draco Aionius (which as near as I could figure was Latin for "really-big-lizard-with-breath-that-blows-stuff-up").
"Hermes?" I stammered.
"Hello, Percy. Didn't recognize me without my jogging clothes?"
"Uh …" I wasn't sure whether I was supposed to kneel or buy stamps from him or what.
Did you bring me a rat? George asked.
"No …" I said. "Uh, we didn't find any."
What about a guinea pig?
George! Martha chided. Don't tease the boy.
The Titan's Curse quotes
Ever had a flying burrito hit you? Well, it's a deadly projectile, right up there with cannonballs and grenades.
Grover was sniffing the wind, looking nervous. He fished out his acorns and threw them into the sand, then played his pipes. They rearranged themselves in a pattern that made no sense to me, but Grover looked concerned.
"That's us," he said. "Those five nuts right there."
"Which one is me?" I asked.
"The little deformed one," Zoe suggested.
"Oh, shut up.”
“Wow," Thalia muttered. "Apollo is hot."
"He's the sun god," I said.
"That's not what I meant.”
He cleared his throat and held up one hand dramatically.
“Green grass breaks through snow.
Artemis pleads for my help.
I am so cool.”
He grinned at us, waiting for applause.
"That last line was four syllables.” Artemis said.
Apollo frowned. “Was it?”
“Yes. What about I am so bigheaded?”
“No, no, that’s six syllable, hhhm.” He started muttering to himself.
Zoe Nightshade turned to us. “Lord Apollo has been going through this haiku phase ever since he visited Japan. Tis not as bad as the time he visited Limerick. If I’d had to hear one more poem that started with, There once was a goddess from Sparta-"
“I've got it!” Apollo announced. “I am so awesome. That’s five syllables!” He bowed, looking very pleased with himself.
“God alert!" Blackjack yelled. "It's the wine dude!
Mr. D sighed in exasperation. "The next person, or horse, who calls me the 'wine dude' will end up in a bottle of Merlot!”
The cafe windows wrapped all the way around the observation floor, which gave us a beautiful panoramic view of the skeleton army that had come to kill us.
“Hey, can I see that sword you were using?"
I showed him Riptide, and explained how it turned from a pen into a sword just by uncapping it.
"Cool! Does it ever run out of ink?"
"Um, well, I don't actually write with it."
"Are you really the son of Poseidon?"
"Well, yeah."
"Can you surf really well, then?"
I looked at Grover, who was trying hard not to laugh.
"Jeez, Nico," I said. "I've never really tried."
He went on asking questions. Did I fight a lot with Thalia, since she was a daughter of Zeus? (I didn't answer that one.) If Annabeth's mother was Athena, the goddess of wisdom, then why didn't Annabeth know better than to fall off a cliff? (I tried not to strangle Nico for asking that one.) Was Annabeth my girlfriend? (At this point, I was ready to stick the kid in a meat-flavored sack and throw him to the wolves.)
“You're a stalker with hooves."
"I am not! I followed her to the Big House and hid in a bush and watched the whole thing.”
“Can’t this thing go any faster?” Thalia demanded.
Zoe glared at her. “I cannot control traffic.”
You both sound like my mother,” I said.
Shut up!” they both said in union.”
“Hoover Dam," Thalia said. "It's huge."
We stood at the river's edge, looking up at a curve of concrete that loomed between the cliffs. People were walking along the top of the dam. They were so tiny they looked like fleas.
The naiads had left with a lot of grumbling—not in words I could understand, but it was obvious they hated this dam blocking up their nice river. Our canoes floated back downstream, swirling in the wake from the dam's discharge vents.
"Seven hundred feet tall," I said. "Built in the 1930s."
"Five million cubic acres of water," Thalia said.
Graver sighed. "Largest construction project in the United States."
Zoe stared at us. "How do you know all that?"
"Annabeth," I said. "She liked architecture."
"She was nuts about monuments," Thalia said.
"Spouted facts all the time." Grover sniffled. "So annoying."
"I wish she were here," I said.
“Brother,” Artemis chided. “You do not help my Hunters. You do not look at, talk to, or flirt with my Hunters. And you do not call them sweetheart.”
“And, whoa!" He turned to Mr.D. "You're the wine dude? No way!"
Mr.D turned hi eyes away from me and gave Nico a look of loathing. "The wine dude?"
"Dionysus, right? Oh, wow! I've got your figurine!"
"My figurine."
"In my game, Mythomagic. And holofoil card, too! And even though you've only got like five hundred attack points and everybody thinks your the lamest god card, I totally think your powers are sweet!"
"Ah." Mr.D seemed truly perplexed, which probably saved my life. "Well, that's...gratifying.”
“Boys are usually forbidden to have any contact with the Hunters. The last one to see this camp…” She looked at Zoe. “Which one was it?”
That boy in Colorado,” Zoe said. “You turned him into a jackalope.”
Ah, yes.” Artemis nodded, satisfied. “I enjoy making jackalopes…”
“Eternity with Artemis?" He heaved a big sigh.
Thalia rolled her eyes. "You satyrs. You're all in love with Artemis. Don't you get that she'll never love you back?"
"But she's so…into nature," Grover swooned.
"You're nuts," said Thalia.
"Nuts and berries," Grover said dreamily. "Yeah.”
---------------------------------------------------------
"Blackjack!" I called.
Yo,boss! he called. You manage to stay alive okay without me?
"It was rough," I admitted.
I brought Guido and Porkpie with me.
How ya doin? The other two pegasi spoke in my mind.
Blackjack looked me over with concern, then checked out Dr. Chase, Thalia, and Annabeth. Any of these goons you want us to stampede?
"Nah," I said aloud. "These are my friends. We need to get to Olympus pretty fast."
No problem, Blackjack said. Except for the mortal over there.Hope he's not going.
I assured him Dr. Chase was not. The professor was staring openmouthed at the pegasi.
"Fascinating," he said. "Such maneuverability! How does the wingspan compensate for the weight of the horse's body, I wonder?"
Blackjack cocked his head. Whaaaat?
"Why, if the British had had these pegasi in the cavalry charges on the Crimea," Dr. Chase said, "the charge of the light brigade—"
"Dad!" Annabeth interrupted.
---------------------------------
Good luck, boss, Blackjack said.
"Yeah." I didn't know why, but I had a sense of doom. I'd never seen all the gods together. I knew any one of them could blast me to dust, and a few of them would like to.
Hey, if ya don't come back, can I have your cabin for my stable?
I looked at the pegasus.
Just a thought, he said. Sorry.
--------------------------------------
“He gave me the brochure. It was about the Hunters of Artemis. The front read, A WISE CHOICE FOR YOUR FUTURE! Inside were pictures of young maidens doing hunter stuff, chasing monsters, shooting bows. There were captions like: HEALTH BENEFITS: IMMORTALITY AND WHAT IT MEANS FOR YOU! and A BOY-FREE TOMORROW!
"I found that in Annabeth's backpack," Grover said.
I stared at him. "I don't understand."
"Well, it seems to me… maybe Annabeth was thinking about joining."
I'd like to say I took the news well.
The truth was, I wanted to strangle the Hunters of Artemis one eternal maiden at a time.”
“I uncapped the blade, flung open the door, and found myself face-to-face with a black pegasus.
Whoa, boss! Its voice spoke in my mind as it clopped away from the sword blade. I don't wanna be a horse-ke-bob!”
“I gotta say"—Apollo broke the silence—"these kids did okay." He cleared his throat and began to recite: "Heroes win laurels—"
Um, yes, first class," Hermes interrupted, like he was anxious to avoid Apollo's poetry.”
“Could an Olympian parent turn against his half-blood child? Would it sometimes be easier just to let them die? If there were ever any half-bloods who needed to worry about that, it was Thalia and me. I wondered if maybe I should've sent Poseidon that seashell pattern tie for Father's Day after all.”
“The most dangerous flaws are those which are good in moderation," she said. "Evil is easy to fight. Lack of wisdom… that is very hard indeed.” -Athena
It seemed weird calling a teenager "sir," but I'd learned to be careful with immortals. They tended to get offended easily. Then they blew stuff up.
“Let us find the dam snack bar," Zoe said. "We should eat while we can."
Grover cracked a smile. "The dam snack bar?"
Zoe blinked. "Yes. What is funny?"
"Nothing," Grover said, trying to keep a straight face. "I could use some dam french
fries."
Even Thalia smiled at that. "And I need to use the dam restroom."
Maybe it was the fact that we were so tired and strung out emotionally, but I started
cracking up, and Thalia and Grover joined in, while Zoe just looked at us. "I do not
understand."
"I want to use the dam water fountain," Grover said.
"And…" Thalia tried to catch her breath. "I want to buy a dam T-shirt."
I busted up, and I probably would've kept laughing all day, but then I heard a noise:
"Moooo."
The smile melted off my face. I wondered if the noise was just in my head, but Grover
had stopped laughing too. He was looking around, confused. "Did I just hear a cow?"
"A dam cow?" Thalia laughed.”
“But it's your Oracle," I protested. "Can't you tell us what the prophecy means?"
Apollo sighed. "You might as well ask an artist to explain his art, or ask a poet to explain his poem. It defeats the purpose. The meaning is only clear through the search.”
“Burrito fight!”-Grover
“If it weren't for dreams," he said. "I wouldn't know half the things I know about the future. They're better than Olympus tabloids." He cleared his throat then held up his hands dramatically:
"Dreams like a podcast,
Downloading truth in my ears.
They tell me cool stuff"
"Apollo?" I guessed, because I figured nobody else could make a haiku that bad.
He put his finger to his lips, "[Shh] I'm incognito. Call me Fred.”
“Do yourself a favor,' I said. "Forget it. Forget you ever saw me."
"Forget that you tried to kill me too?"
"Yeah. That, too."
"But who are you?"
"Percy-" I started to say. Then the skeletons turned around. "Gotta go!"
"What kind of name is Percy Gotta-go?"
I bolted for the exit.”
“... Sometimes mortals can be more horrible than monsters." (Zoe Nightshade)”
------------------------------
“Zoe—" I said.
"Stars," she whispered. "I can see the stars again, my lady."
A tear trickled down Artemis's cheek. "Yes, my brave one. They are beautiful tonight."
"Stars," Zoe repeated. Her eyes fixed on the night sky. And she did not move again.
Thalia lowered her head. Annabeth gulped down a sob, and her father put his hands on her shoulders. I watched as Artemis cupped her hand above Zoe's mouth and spoke a few words in Ancient Greek. A silvery wisp of smoke exhaled from Zoe's lips and was caught in the hand of the goddess. Zoe's body shimmered and disappeared.
Artemis stood, said a kind of blessing, breathed into her cupped hand and released the silver dust to the sky. It flew up, sparkling, and vanished.
For a moment I didn't see anything different. Then Annabeth gasped. Looking up in the sky, I saw that the stars were brighter now. They made a pattern I had never noticed before—a gleaming constellation that looked a lot like a girl's figure—a girl with a bow, running across the sky.
"Let the world honor you, my Huntress," Artemis said. "Live forever in the stars.”
The Battle of the Labyrinth
You deal with mythological stuff for a few years, you learn that paradises are usually places where you get killed.
“You are okay?" he asked. "Not eaten by monsters?"
"Not even a little bit." I showed him that I still had both arms and both legs, and Tyson clapped happily.
"Yay!" he said. "Now we can eat peanut butter sandwiches and ride fish ponies! We can fight monsters and see Annabeth and make things go BOOM!"
I hoped he didn't mean all at the same time, but I told him absolutely, we'd have a lot of fun this summer.”
"A demigod!" one snarled.
"Eat it!" yelled another.
But that's as far as they got before I slashed a wide arc with Riptide and vaporized the entire front row of monsters.
"Back off!" I yelled at the rest, trying to sound fierce. Behind them stood their instructor--a six-foot tall telekhine with Doberman fangs snarling at me. I did my best to stare him down.
"New lesson, class," I announced. "Most monsters will vaporize when sliced with a celestial bronze sword. This change is completely normal, and will happen to you right now if you don't BACK OFF!"
To my surprise, it worked. The monsters backed off, but there was at least twenty of them. My fear factor wasn't going to last that long.
I jumped out of the cart, yelled, "CLASS DISMISSED!" and ran for the exit.
“Getting something and having the wits to use it...those are two different things.”
“Monkey bar," Annabeth said. "I'm great at these." She leaped onto to the first rung and start swinging her way across. She was scared of tiny spiders, but not of plummeting to her death from a set of monkey bars. Go figure.”
“My mother made a squeaking sound that might of been either "yes" or "help".
Poseidon took it as a yes and came in.
Paul was looking back and forth between us, trying to read our expressions.
Finally he stepped forward.
"Hi, I'm Paul Blofis."
Poseidon raised an eyebrow and then shook his hand.
"Blowfish, did you say?"
"Ah, no. Blofis, actually."
"Oh, I see," Poseidon said. "A shame. I quite like blowfish. I am Poseidon."
"Poseidon? That's an interesting name."
"Yes, I like it. I've gone by other names, but I do prefer Poseidon."
"Like the god of the sea."
"Very much like that, yes"
"Well!" My mother interrupted. "Um, were so glad you could drop by. Paul, this is Percy's father."
"Ah." Paul nodded, though he didn't look real pleased. "I see."
Poseidon smiled at me. "There you are, my boy. And Tyson, hello, son!"
"Daddy!" Tyson [shouted]...
Paul's jaw dropped. He stared at my mother. "Tyson is..."
"Not mine," she promised. "It's a long story.”
“I'm calm," Rachel insisted. "Every time I'm around you, some monsters attack us. What's to be nervous about?"
"Look," I said. "I'm sorry about the band room. I hope they didn't kick you our or anything."
"Nah. They asked me a lot of questions about you. I played dumb."
"Was it hard?" Annabeth asked.”
“But remember, boy, that a kind act can sometimes be as powerful as a sword. As a mortal, I was never a great fighter or athlete or poet. I only made wine. The people in my village laughed at me. They said I would never amount to anything. Look at me now. Sometimes small things can become very large indeed.”~Dionysus
I turned to Dionysus. "You cured him?"
"Madness is my specialty. It was quite simple."
"But...you did something nice. Why?"
He raised and eyebrow. "I am nice! I simple ooze niceness, Perry Johansson. Haven't you noticed?”
As I got closer to the fence, I held my shirt over my nose to block the smell. One stallion waded through the muck and whinnied angrily at me. He bared his teeth, which were pointed like a bear's.
I tried to talk to him in my mind. I can do that with most horses.
Hi, I told him. I'm going to clean your stables. Won't that be great?
Yes! The horse said. Come inside! Eat you! Tasty half-blood!
But I'm Poseidon's son, I protested. He created horses.
Usually this gets me VIP treatment in the equestrian world, not this time.
Yes! The horse agreed enthusiastically. Poseidon can come in, too! We will eat you both! Seafood!
Seafood! The other horses chimed in as they waded through the field.
When I got across, I looked back and saw Tyson giving Grover a piggyback ride (or was it a goatyback ride?). -Percy
“Are you guys busy?" Juniper asked.
"Well," I said, "we're in the middle of this game against a bunch of monsters and we're trying not to die."
"We're not busy," Annabeth said.
I held out a lead figurine of Hades—the little Mythomagic statue Nico had abandoned when he fled camp last winter.
Nico hesitated. "I don’t play that game anymore. It’s for kids."
"It’s got four thousand attack power," I coaxed.
"Five thousand," Nico corrected. "But only if your opponent attacks first."
I smiled. "Maybe it’s okay to still be a kid once in a while.”
“Percy!” he bellowed. He dropped his broom and ran at me. If you’ve never been charged by an enthusiastic Cyclops wearing a flowered apron and rubber cleaning gloves, I’m telling you, it’ll wake you up quick.”
Percy: The Heka-what?
Annabeth: The Hundred-Handed Ones. They called them that because... well, they had a hundred hands. They were the elder brothers of the Cyclopes.
Tyson: Very powerful. Wonderful! As tall as the sky. So strong they can break mountains!
Percy: Cool. Unless you're a mountain.
Hephaestus glowered up at us. “I didn’t make you, did I?”
Uh,” Annabeth said, “no, sir.”
"Good,” the god grumbled. “Shoddy workmanship.”
I turned and found Dionysus standing there, still in his black suit.
Walk with me,” he said.
Where to?” I asked suspiciously.
Just to the campfire,” he said. “I was beginning to feel better, so I
thought I would talk with you a bit. You always manage to annoy me.”
Uh, thanks.”
Poseidon put his weathered hand on my shoulder. “Percy, lesser beings do many horrible things in the name of the gods. That does not mean we gods approve. The way our sons and daughters act in our names…well, it usually says more about them than it does about us. And you, Percy, are my favorite son.”
“Don’t judge someone until you’ve stood at his forge and worked with his hammer, eh?” ~Hephaestus
He dropped the rest of the Cokes into the grave and pulled out a white
paper bag decorated with cartoons. I hadn’t seen one in years, but I
recognized it — a McDonald’s Happy Meal.
He turned it upside down and shook the fries and hamburger into the grave.
“In my day, we used animal blood,” the ghost mumbled. “It’s perfectly good enough. They can’t taste the difference.”
“I will treat them with respect,” Nico said.
“At least let me keep the toy,” the ghost said.”
He just raised the dead with coke and cheeseburgers.~Percy talking about Nico
The Last Olympian
"With great power... comes great need to take a nap. Wake me up later." ~Nico
"I don't recommend shadow travel if you're scared of:
a) The dark
b) Cold shivers up your spine
c) Strange noises
d) Going so fast you feel like your face is peeling off
In other words, I thought it was awesome."
The throne rumbled. A wave of gale-force anger slammed into me.
WHO DARES-
The voice stopped abruptly, The anger retreated, which was a good thing, because just those two words had almost blasted my mind to shreds.
Percy. My fathers voice was still angry but more controlled. What-exactly-are you doing on my throne?
"I'm sorry, Father," I said. "I needed to get your attention."
This was a very dangerous thing to do. Even for you. If I hadn't looked before I blasted, you would now be a puddle of seawater."
My brother broke into a toothy grin. "Yay! Your brain works!"~Tyson
Everybody was patting Nico on the back, complimenting him on his fighting. Even the Ares kids thought he was pretty cool. Hey, show up with an army of undead warriors to save the day, and suddenly you're everybody's best friend.
The main courtyard was filled with warriors - mermen with fish tails from the waist down and human bodies from the waist up, except their skin was blue, which I'd never known before.Some were tending the wounded. Some were sharpening spears and swords. One passed us, swimming in a hurry. His eyes were bright green, like that stuff they put in glo-sticks, and his teeth were shark teeth. They don't show you stuff like that in "The Little Mermaid.
"As for my brothers," Zeus said, "we are thankful"-he cleared his throat like the words were hard to get out-"erm, thankful for the aid of Hades."
The lord of the dead nodded. He had a smug look on his face, but I figure he'd earned the right. He patted his son Nico on the shoulders, and Nico looked happier than I'd ever seen him.
"And, of course," Zeus continued, though he looked like his pants were smoldering, "we must...um...thank Poseidon."
"I'm sorry, brother," Poseidon said. "What was that?"
"We must thank Poseidon," Zeus growled. "Without whom . . . it would've been difficult-"
"Difficult?" Poseidon asked innocently.
"Impossible," Zeus said. "Impossible to defeat Typhon."
"The Council agrees," Zeus said. "Percy Jackson, you will have one gift from the gods."
I hesitated. "Any gift?"
Zeus nodded grimly. "I know what you will ask. The greatest gift of all. Yes, if you want it, it shall be yours. The gods have not bestowed this gift on a mortal hero in many centuries, but, Perseus Jackson-if you wish it-you shall be made a god. Immortal. Undying. You shall serve as your father's lieutenant for all time."
I stared at him, stunned. "Um...a god?"
Zeus rolled his eyes. "A dimwitted god, apparently. But yes. With the consensus of the entire Council, I can make you immortal. Then I will have to put up with you forever."
"Hmm," Ares mused. "That means I can smash him to a pulp as often as I want, and he'll just keep coming back for more. I like this idea."
"Why do you need to gallop while you fly?"
"Why do humans have to sway their arms while they walk? I dunno boss, but it just feels right."~Blackjack and Percy talking
"Doesn't miss many meals, does he?" Zeus muttered. "Tyson, for your bravery in the war, and for leading the Cyclopes, you are appointed a general I. The armies of Olympus. You shall henceforth lead you breathren into war whenever required by the gods. And you shall have a new...um...what kind of weapon would you like? A sword? An axe?"
"Stick!" Tyson said, showing his broken club.
"Very well," Zeus said. "We will grant you a new, er, stick. The best stick that may be found."
"Hooray!"
The cord, a familiar voice said. Remember your lifeline, dummy!
Suddenly there was a tug in my lower back. The current pulled at me, but it wasn't carrying me away anymore. I imagined the string in my back keeping me tied to the shore.
"Hold on, Seaweed Brain." It was Annabeth's voice, much clearer now. "You're not getting away from me that easily."
The cord strengthened.
I could see Annabeth now- standing barefoot above me on the canoe lake pier. I'd fallen out of my canoe. That was it. She was reaching out her hand to haul me up, and she was trying not to laugh. She wore her orange camp T-shirt and jeans. Her hair was tucked up in her Yankees cap, which was strange because that should have made her invisible.
"You are such an idiot sometimes." She smiled. "Come on. Take my hand."
Memories came flooding back to me- sharper and more colorful. I stopped dissolving. My name was Percy Jackson. I reached up and took Annabeth's hand.
"I'm afraid not." Hades sighed. "My son here convinced me that perhaps I should prioritize my list of enemies." He glared at me with distaste. "As much as I dislike certain upstart demigods, it would not do for Olympus to fall. I would miss bickering with my siblings. And if there is one thing we agree on - it is that you were a TERRIBLE father."
The last time I'd seen the Minotaur, he'd been wearing nothing but his tighty whities. I don't know why. Maybe he'd been shaken out of bed to chase me.
"We need music," Nico said. "How's your singing?"
"Um, no. Can't you just, like, tell it to open? You're the son of Hades and all."
"It's not so easy. We need music."
I was pretty sure if I tried to sing, all I would cause was an avalanche.
"Kronos would be 10 times more powerful. His very presence would incinerate you. And once he achieves this he will empower the other Titans. They are weak, compared to what they soon will become, unless you can stop them, the world will fall, the gods will die, and I will never achieve a perfect score on this stupid machine." ~Dionysus
The older lady harrumphed. "I warned you, daughter. This scoundrel Hades is no good. You could've married the god of doctors or the god of lawyers, but noooo. You had to eat the pomegranate."
"Mother-"
"And get stuck in the Underworld!"
"Mother, please-"
"And here it is August, and do you come home like you're supposed to? Do you ever think about your poor lonely mother?"
"DEMETER!" Hades shouted. "That is enough. You are a guest in my house."
"Oh, a house is it?" she said. "You call this dump a house? Make my daughter live in this dark, damp-"
"I told you," Hades said, grinding his teeth, "there's a war in the world above. You and Persephone are better off here with me."
"Excuse me," I broke in. "But if you're going to kill me, could you just get on with it?"
Different elevator music was playing since my last visit-that old disco song "Stayin' Alive." A terrifying image flashed through my mind of Apollo in bell-bottom pants and a slinky silk shirt.
A telkhine was hunched over a console, but he was so involved with his work, he didn't notice us. He was about five feet tall, with slick black seal fur and stubby little feet. He had the head of a Doberman, but his clawed hands were almost human. He growled and muttered as he tapped on his keyboard. Maybe he was messaging his friends on uglyface.com. ~Percy
"Grover Underwood of the satyrs!" Dionysus called.
Grover came forward nervously.
"Oh, stop chewing your shirt," Dionysus chided. "Honestly, I'm not going to blast you. For your bravery and sacrifice, blah, blah, blah, and since we have an unfortunate vacancy, the gods have seen fit to name you a member of the Council of Cloven Elders."
Grover collapsed on the spot.
"Oh, wonderful," Dionysus sighed, as several naiads came forward to help Grover. "Well, when he wakes up, someone tell him that he will no longer be an outcast, and that all satyrs, naiads, and other spirits of nature will henceforth treat him as a lord of the Wild, with all rights, privileges, and honors, blah, blah, blah. Now please, drag him off before he wakes up and starts groveling."
"FOOOOOD," Grover moaned, as the nature spirits carried him away.
I figured he'd be okay. He would wake up as a lord of the Wild with a bunch of beautiful naiads taking care of him. Life could be worse."
"Percy," Apollo said, "I wouldn't worry too much. The last Great Prophecy about you took almost seventy years to complete. This one may not even happen in your lifetime."
I thought about the lines Rachel had spoken in that creepy voice: about storm and fire and the Doors of Death. "Maybe," I said, "but it didn't sound so good."
"No," said Apollo cheerfully. "It certainly didn't. She's going to make a wonderful Oracle!"
Athena called, "Annabeth Chase, my own daughter."
Annabeth squeezed my arm, then walked forward and knelt at her mother's feet.
Athena smiled. "You, my daughter, have exceeded all expectations. You have used your wits, your strength, and your courage to defend this city, and our seat of power. It has come to our attention that Olympus is...well, trashed. The Titan lord did much damage that will have to be repaired. We could rebuild it by magic, of course, and make it just as it was. But the gods feel that the city could be improved. We will take this as an opportunity. And you, my daughter, will design these improvements."
Annabeth looked up, stunned. "My...my lady?"
Athena smiled wryly. "You are an architect, are you not? You have studied the techniques of Daedalus himself. Who better to redesign Olympus and make it a monument that will last for another eon?"
"You mean...I can design whatever I want?"
"As your heart desires," the goddess said. "Make us a city for the ages."
"As long as you have plenty of statues of me," Apollo added.
"And me," Aphrodite agreed.
"Hey, and me!" Ares said. "Big statues with huge wicked swords and-"
All right!" Athena interrupted. "She gets the point. Rise, my daughter, official architect of Olympus."
Athena stood in the middle of the road with her arms crossed and a look on her face that made me think Uh-oh. She'd changed out of her armor, into jeans and a white blouse, but she didn't look any less warlike. Her gray eyes blazed.
"Well, Percy," she said. "You will stay mortal."
"Um, yes, ma'am."
"I would know your reasons."
"I want to be a regular guy. I want to grow up. Have, you know, a regular high school experience."
"And my daughter?"
"I couldn't leave her," I admitted, my throat dry. "Or Grover," I added quickly. "Or-"
"Spare me." Athena stepped close to me, and I could feel her aura of power making my skin itch. "I once warned you, Percy Jackson, that to save a friend you would destroy the world. Perhaps I was mistaken. You seem to have saved both your friends and the world. But think very carefully about how you proceed from here. I have given you the benefit of the doubt. Don't mess up."
Just to prove her point, she erupted in a column of flame, charring the front of my shirt."
"Percy," Grover said, "the gods really don't appreciate people sitting in their thrones. I mean like turn-you-into-a-pile-of-ashes don't appreciate it."
"You know what would help this boy?" Demeter mused. "Farming."
Persephone rolled her eyes. "Mother-"
"Six months behind a plow. Excellent character building."
It was one of those and so they died/the end stories, that made us demigods feels all warm and fuzzy inside.-Percy
"Chiron, I don't think the attic is the proper place for our new Oracle, do you?"
"No, indeed." Chiron looked a lot better now that Apollo had worked some medical magic on him. "Rachel may use a guest room in the Big House for now, until we give the matter more thought."
"I'm thinking a cave in the hills," Apollo mused. "With torches and a big purple curtain over the entrance . . . really mysterious. But inside, a totally decked-out pad with a game room and one of those home theater systems."
"Not all powers are spectacular." Hestia looked at me. "Sometimes the hardest power to master is the power of yielding."
"Percy," my mom said. "I give you my blessing."
"Be safe brother!" Tyson pleaded.
"Enchiladas!" Grover said. I wasn't sure where that came from, but it didn't seem to help much.
"You're the last Olympian,' I said. 'And the most important.'
And why is that, Percy Jackson?'
Because Hope survives best at the hearth,' I said.
Annabeth came up to me. She was dressed in black camouflage with her Celestial bronze knife strapped to her arm and her laptop bag slung over her shoulder—ready for stabbing or surfing the Internet, whichever came first.
"Erre es korakas, Blinkey!" Dionysus cursed. "I will have your soul!"
"Um, he's a video game character," I said."
And when demigods use cell phones, the signals agitate every monster within a hundred miles. It's like sending up a flare: Here I am! Please rearrange my face!
"It's our loot!" he yelled, standing on his tiptoes so he could get in Clarisse's face. "If you don't like it, you can kiss my quiver!"
Poseidon grinned. "You're doing well with those new cabins, by the way. I suppose this means I can claim all those other sons and daughters of mine and send you some siblings next summer."
"Ha-ha."
Poseidon reeled in his empty line.
I shifted my feet. "Um, you were kidding, right?"
Poseidon gave me one of his inside-joke winks, and I still didn't know whether he was serious or not.
"Whoa," Connor Stoll said. "Back up. Zoom in right there."
"What?" Annabeth said nervously. "You see invaders?"
"No, right there—Dylan's Candy Bar." Connor grinned at his brother. "Dude, it's open. And everyone is asleep. Are you thinking what I'm thinking?"
"Connor!" Katie Gardner scolded. She sounded like her mother, Demeter. "This is serious. You are not going to loot a candy store in the middle of a war!"
"Sorry," Connor muttered, but he didn't sound very ashamed.
"I don't care what your nose says! The last time you smelled half-blood, it turned out to be a meatloaf sandwich!"
"Meatloaf sandwiches are good! But this is a half-blood scent, I swear. They are on board!"
"Bah, your brain isn't on board!"
Then something occurred to me.
"Get closer," I told Blackjack.
He whinnied in protest.
"Just within shouting distance," I said. "I need to talk to the statue."
Now I'm sure you've lost it, boss, Blackjack said
Two archers ran by, chased by an angry Ares kid who was yelling in poetry: "Curse me, eh? I'll make you pay! / I don't want to rhyme all day!"
We ducked as Michael Yew's chariot dive-bombed an Ares camper. The Ares camper tried to stab him and cuss him out in rhyming couplets. He was pretty creative about rhyming those cuss words.
The Son of Neptune quotes
“They're Lares. House gods."
"House gods," Percy said. "Like...smaller than real gods, but larger than apartment gods?”
“Reyna sent me to get Percy," Frank said. "Did Octavian accept you?"
"Yeah," Percy said. "He slaughtered my panda.”
“Hazel squinted. "How far?"
"Just over the river and through the woods."
Percy raised an eyebrow. "Seriously? To Grandmother's house we go?"
Frank cleared his throat. "Yeah, anyway.”
“Hey!" said the guy in the video. "Greetings from your friends at Camp Half-Blood, et cetera. This is Leo. I'm the..." He looked off screen and yelled: "What's my title? Am I like admiral, or captain, or-"
A girl's voice yelled back, "Repair boy."
"Very funny, Piper," Leo grumbled. He turned back to the parchment screen. "So yeah, I'm...ah..supreme commander of the Argo II. Yeah, I like that! Anyway, we're gonna be sailing towards you in about, I dunno, an hour in this big mother warship. We'd appreciate it if you'd not, like, blow us out of the sky or anything. So okay! If you could tell the Romans that. See you soon. Yours in demigodishness, and all that. Peace out!”
“Now, come over here so I can pat you down."
"But you don't have-" Percy stopped. "Uh, sure."
He stood next to the armless statue. Terminus conducted a rigorous mental pat down.
"You seem to be clean," Terminus decided. "Do you have anything to declare?"
"Yes," Percy said. "I declare that this is stupid.”
“Um...is that thing tame?" Frank said.
The horse whinnied angrily.
"I don't think so," Percy guessed. "He just said, 'I will trample you to death, silly Chinese Canadian baby man'.”
“Um..." Hazel faltered. "You mean you won't... you're not going to-"
"Claim your life?" Thantos asked. "Well, let's see..."
He pulled a pure-black iPad from thin air. Death, tapped the screen a few times, and all Frank could think was:
Please don't let there be an app for reaping souls.
"I don't see you on the list," Thantos said. "Pluto gives me specific orders for escaped souls, you see. For some reason, he has not issued a warrant for yours. Perhaps he feels your life is not finished, or it could be n oversight. If you'd like me to call and ask-"
"No!" Hazel yelped. "That's okay."
"Are you sure?" Death asked helpfully. "I have video-conferencing enabled. I have his Skype address here somewhere...”
“There!" Mars finished writing and threw the scroll at Octavian. "A prophecy. You can add it to your books, engrave it on the floor, whatever."
Octavian read the scroll. "This says, 'Go to Alaska. Find Thanatos and free him. Come back by sundown on June twenty-fourth or die'."
"Yes," Mars said. "Is that not clear?"
"Well, my lord...usually prophecies are unclear. They're wrapped in riddles. They rhyme, and..."
Mars casually popped another grenade off his belt. "Yes?"
"The prophecy is clear!" Octavian announced. "A quest!”
“Jeez, Hazel," Percy said, "tell your horse to watch his language."
Hazel tried not to laugh. "What did he say?"
"With the cussing removed? He said he can get us to the top."
Frank looked incredulous. "I thought the horse couldn't fly!"
This time Arion whinnied so angrily, even Hazel could guess he was cursing.
"Dude," Percy told the horse, "I've gotten suspended for saying less than that...”
“Frank stared at him. "Unfair? You can breathe underwater and blow up glaciers and summon freaking hurricanes-and it's unfair that I can be an elephant?"
Percy considered. "Okay. I guess you got a point. But the next time I say you're totally beast-"
"Just shut up," Frank said. "Please."
Percy cracked a smile.”
Just his luck he was related to this grubby old dude. He hoped all sons of Neptune didn't share the same fate. First, you start carrying a man satchel. Next thing you know, you're running around in a bathrobe and pink bunny slippers, chasing chickens with a weed whacker.
I'm fine!" Percy yelled out as he ran by, followed by a giant screaming bloody murder.
“THAT'S IT!" Terminus cried. "That's AGAINST THE RULES!"
Polybotes frowned, obviously confused that he was being told off by a statue. "What are you?" he growled. "Shut up!"
He pushed the statue over and turned back to Percy.
"Now I'm MAD!" Terminus shrieked. "I'm strangling you. Feel that? Those are my hands around your neck, you big bully. Get over here! I'm going to head-butt you so hard--”
Juno: "All roads lead there child. You should know that."
Percy: "Detention?
“They all ordered massive plates of eggs, pancakes, and reindeer sausage, though Frank looked a little worried about the reindeer. "You think it's okay that we're eating Rudolph?"
"Dude," Percy said, "I could eat Prancer and Blitzen, too. I'm hungry.”
“Two hundred Romans, and no one’s got a pen? Never mind!"
He slung his M16 onto his back and pulled out a hand grenade. There were many screaming Romans. Then the hand grenade morphed into a ballpoint pen, and Mars began to write.
Frank looked at Percy with wide eyes. He mouthed: Can your sword do grenade form?
Percy mouthed back, No. Shut up.”
“Tyson, Frank is a descendant of Poseidon."
"Brother!" Tyson crushed Frank in a hug.
Percy stifled a laugh. "Actually he's more like a great-great-...Oh, never mind. Yeah, he's your brother."
"Thanks." Frank mumbled through a mouthful of flannel.
Percy tried to remember. He really did. For some reason, Annabeth and he had visited a spa and decided to destroy it. He couldn't imagine why. Maybe they hadn't like the deep-tissue massage? Maybe they'd gotten bad manicures?
A tiny dark object came sailing out of the window and landed at the giant's feet. Polybotes yelled, "Grenade!"
He covered his face. His troops hit the ground.
When the thing did not explode, Polybotes bent down cautiously and picked it up.
He roared in outrage. "A Ding Dong? You dare insult me with a Ding Dong?" He threw the cake back at the shop, and it vaporized in the light.
Dakota's head was stuck in his toga. He staggered around olike a Kool-Aid-stained ghost.
"Um," Percy said, "should I wear my bed sheets?”
Frank stared at her. "But you throw Ding Dongs at monsters."
Iris looked horrified. "Oh, they're not Ding Dongs."
She rummaged under the counter and brought out a package of chocolate covered cakes that looked exactly like Ding Dongs.
"These are gluten-free, no-sugar-added, vitamin-enriched, soy-free, goat-milk-and-seaweed-based cupcake simulations."
"All natural!" Fleecy chimed in.
"I stand corrected." Frank suddenly felt as queasy as Percy.
Part of their problem was Percy. He fought like a demon, whirling through the defender's ranks in a completely unorthodox style, rolling under their feet, slashing with his sword instead of stabbing like a Roman would, whacking campers with the flat of his blade, and generally causing mass panic.
As he fell toward the highway, a horrible scenario flashed through his mind: his body smashing against an SUV's windshield, some annoyed commuter trying to push him off with the wipers. "Stupid 16-year-old kid falling from the sky! I'm late!
Her name badge read: Hello! My name is DIE, DEMIGOD SCUM!
“Look, ladies, we've been over this. I don't even remember killing Medusa. I don't remember anything! Can't we just call a truce and talk about your weekly specials?" Stheno gave her sister a pouty look, which was hard to do with giant bronze tusks. "Can we?”
“Heroes!" Euryale said with disgust. "They always bring that up, just like our mother! 'why can't you turn people to stone? your sister can turn people to stone.' Well, I'm sorry to disappoint you, boy! That was Medusa's curse alone. she was the most hideous one in the family. She got all the luck!" Stheno looked hurt. "Mother said I was the most hideous.”
Annabeth’s face, her blond hair and gray eyes, the way she laughed, threw her arms around him, and gave him a kiss whenever he did something stupid. She must have kissed me a lot, Percy thought.

Kogoro: “Eri told me it’d ‘help build character’. I didn’t realize she meant ‘turn our daughter into a weapon of mass destruction’.”
“There's no such thing as a perfect plan. There always something that gets in the way. If you push on under that condition, not letting it get in your way.

Haibara: That's impossible. People have emotions. A troublesome attribute that's not only invisible. But also, changes easily. If it's friendship or love, then that's fine. But if by some trigger it changes to malice and vengeance. Then that could bring forth thoughts of murder.
Genta: But my Mom and Dad are fighting all the time. But they still get along well.
Agasa: That's because they love each other. Just as Ai-kun said, a person can easily be the giver of reciever of pain. In order to keep something like that from happening, one must always hold good feelings for others. ~ Movie 9

"A stopper is like a final stronghold to a team. No matter how the others beat or ridicule you without mercy, when you play the next game, you must take the mound with sound look on your face! How can someone who loses confidence in his own ability and commits murder be able to continue assuming the responsibility of the whole team...? ~ Mouri Kogoro ~ Chapter 465

"The clues are what differ from the expected. Whenever there's a case, there's always something that differs from the norm. First of all, you have to find those points, through careful observation.

Nothing is more essential than those small changes in the room." Shinichi Kudou ~ episode 343
"Even detectives are normal humans. They aren't almighty gods. As a detective presenting his deductions...There are times when he feels uneasy about it as well. He worries if maybe he overlooked something, and whether there are any other possibilities that remain. That's why, when one's deduction hits the bull's-eye, it's the greatest feeling in the world." Shinichi Kudou ~ episode 344
"But why are there two different Yuki-onna stories?" Ran
"It's because mothers tell them. The original Yuki-onna legend was used to caution people not to go out during snowstorms. When they tell the stories to their children, they sympathize with the Yuki-onna, and little by little they change the way they tell them. That's why the original story where making the exchange for the silver gown leads to death changed into the story where she returns to the snow without taking his soul. That's why there are a lot of Yuki-onna stories that are sad and seem real." Shinichi, Episode 490
"If I said how I feel about her, she would miss me even more…All this time, I’ve been breaking her heart by keeping her waiting, yet I still can’t appear before her eyes…I never want to see her cry anymore…even if it means I no longer exist in her heart." Shinichi in episode 270
"Without considering the consequences, you pursue truth and justice. The burdens you bear are yours alone because you feel obligated to protect those around you. Your dangerous boy-like personality is so painfully and achingly intriguing. I wonder if you realize... That that pure scent of yours...

Flowers are fragile and ephemeral...Even if you meant to protect them with a surrounding fence from wind and rain, they would die without sunlight...and a spindly fence has no power against a strong wind...Are you fully aware of that, Kudo-kun?... ~ Ai Haibara ~ episode 270
Shinichi Kudo: Even if you are facing a bitter aspect of life... Drugs and murder are foul, without any excuse. Deserve a red card, for a loser.

"Hatsuho-san, Do you think your father would be happy with your revenge? Do you think he would praise you and say "you did well"? The one who wore the armor wasn't Hidetomo's spirirt.

Kudo: yeah,“you are the criminal”right on his face.

But no matter how odd...How incredible something may be...If a human does not touch it...If a human does not see it...If a human is not involved with it...It is simply something that happened.

"Weight?" ~ Watanuki

"W-What is?" ~ Watanuki
"Quite a variety of things. And those who know them would never take a life. Nothing makes up for it." ~ Yuko

"It's how a world is. A world is infinietly large, but actually, it's pretty small. The scope of what you can see; the scope of what you can hear; the scope of what your fingers can touch; the scope of what you can feel...and that's all. A world...it just is! And you make it." ~ Yuko
"The world...is a very small place, but for those who know it, it is very, very large.And the world...when it is viewed by those who know...is far larger than just one world can hold." ~ Yuko
"If there is something you want to quit. You should have a conversation with yourself and ask why you want to quit and why you need to quit." ~ Yuko
"Sincerity with respect to yourself! No matter what your objective...No matter who you are...If you are going to do something or not do something, that is a promise to yourself. And the one who keeps the promise, or breaks the promise, is you. No one else can be burdened with holding you to a promise that's made to yourself." ~ Yuko
"Family is other people. No matter how close your blood relationship is…no matter what your relationship may be…anyone other than you is not you! And so you have to think it over and decide for yourself! Take away other people’s wants and needs, and decide if this is something that is necessary for you! It may cause hardships to others…but you want it. That’s your free will right there! But you ignore that and decide based on someone else’s advice, because decency demands it, because people say it’s awful, you will fail to quit. No one could succeed that way! You don’t understand what you’re trying to do. With that as your background, how do you expect to make a promise to yourself? But the opposite way…there are risks there, too, of course. If you decide to take the action that best suits you, there will be people who won’t understand…people will be saddened by your actions ~ Yuko
"There is no such thing as coincidence in this world. The only thing is hitsuzen." ~ Yuko

"Once a boy saw a dream. Twirling, twirling, flying, flying. So happy in his freedom. The boy believed himself to be a butterfly. But when he opened his eyes, he was no butterfly, only a mere human. Then he thought to himself: did I just dream I was a butterfly or is this a dream as well? Maybe I am but a dream that is dreamed by the butterfly." ~ Haruka Doumeki talking to Watanuki in a dream
The affinity between objects and people works the same way as affinity between two people. When an affinity is bad, one simple event can send things downhill like a rock rolling down a slope.
Words, can be frightening, says Yuko. Once spoken, words can never be erased. Sometimes, the words we speak can even turn on us and bind us.
There is always a disastrous price for breaking a promise. There are no exceptions.
A true fortune teller correctly identifies only that which the subject wants to be told, and states only the necessary results of their divination, with no extra information. That is because telling a fortune is another kind of contract, and the more that one tells, the more that must be paid in exchange.
According to Yuko, no amount of admonishing or reasoning can help someone fix a habit that he himself does not care about. Everyone has a different value system, and no one should be singled out by others.
"Sometimes, even when the heart forgets, the body still remembers." Yuko
"No matter how small the problem is, how small the thing is, it will always effect the people around you." ~ Yuko talking to Watanuki
"Instead of regretting what we cannot do, it is better to do what one can. For example, what we do has nothing to do with results and so we must forge forwards." ~ Yuko talking to Watanuki
"Words are beasts. Chains can be used for more than tying down. They can be used to connect, and tie together. Looking forward and speaking positively makes all the difference." ~ Yuko
"Humans do nothing to help the precious things of the world. Why should the precious things have to help some human?" ~ Ame-Warashi

Here, it says to "like yourself." What does that mean? Good things- how are you supposed to find them? I only know things that I hate about myself. Because that's all I know, I hate myself. But even if you force yourself to find good things, it feels so empty. It doesn't work that way. People like your teacher just don't get it. I think when you hear someone say they like you, for the first time, then you can begin to like yourself. I think when someone accepts you, for the first time, you feel like you can forgive yourself a little. You can begin to face your fears with courage.” ~ Yuki
“It's all very simple. But maybe because it's so simple, it's also hard.” ~ Yuki
“Don't get lost. Give it a try. Go find the place that you're wishing for.” ~ Haru
“I know it's not good to be weak and helpless. But I don't think it's good to be too strong either. In our society, they talk about survival of the fittest. But we're not animals. We're human.” ~ Yuki
“Saying she doesn't mind being alone...that she's alright... There isn't a person alive who'd really feel that way!” ~ Yuki
Ayame: "Yuki, let's deepen the bond between us brothers!"
Yuki: "Before you can do that I'll drown you in the deepest part of that lake."
Ayame: "As long as we spend time together."
Yuki: "On second thought, go drown yourself.
Yuki: "What can I learn from a stupid cat like you? You didn’t even know that Jason isn’t really a bear. He’s a character in a horror film."
Kyo: "Yeah? So what if I didn’t? Like I’d waste my time watching some movie about a bear!"
Yuki: You truly are an idiot.
Ritsu: Please, Onii-san, please write with takoyaki power!
Mitsuru: Yes, sensei! With ikyayaki or takoyaki or whatever it takes! Write quickly, without hesitation! Ah... Um... W-what is takoyaki power?
Ritsu: Well, that is--! When Shigure-niisan eats takoyaki, he transforms into a great warrior...
Shigure: No I don't.
[Kagura is doing laundry and tries to wring out Kyou's shirt causing it to rip in two]
Kyo Sohma: Tell me what I think just happened didn't just happen.
Kagura: My love!
Kyo Sohma: My shirt!
Kyo Sohma: One of these days I'll make you say you're sorry!
Yuki Sohma(looking bored): I'm sorry.
Kyo Sohma: That's not what I meant! Don't you have any shame!
Yuki Sohma(still looking annoyed): Yes I'm ashamed to be seen with you shouting in public.
Kyo Sohma: Oh that's it! We're taking this outside!
Yuki Sohma(still looking annoyed): We ARE outside you stupid cat.
"A lot of people are too scared to admit that they're still children. They do everything they can to avoid it. So people who can admit that have a lot of courage" ~ Tohru
"My mom told me, it's better to trust people than to doubt them. She said that people aren't born with kind hearts. When we're born, all we have are desires for food and material things. Selfish instincts, I guess. But she said that kindness is something that grows inside of each person's body, but it's up to us to nurture that kindness in our hearts. That's why kindness is different for every person." ~ Tohru
"But I think... I want to live with all my memories. Even if they're bad memories. Even if they're memories that only hurt me... that I'd rather forget. If I keep them and keep trying, without running away, then someday I'll be strong enough that those memories can't defeat me. I believe that because I want to think that there's no such thing as a memory that's ok to forget" ~ Momiji
Hatsuharu: Whoa... I don't believe it. Someone just walked in who looks exactly like Yuki. A mystery.
Yuki: [annoyed] It is me.
Hatsuharu: But this is the main house.
Yuki: That's why I snuck in.
Hatsuharu: [grabs a camera and poses with Yuki] Peace. You too, Yuki, peace.
Yuki: [extremely annoyed] What was that for?
Hatsuharu: In commemoration of your coming to the main house after such a long time. And for me.
"NOW, SPARKLE, MY HOUSE OF LEARNING!!" ~ Ayame
Ayame: (picking up barely-injured Yuki) You musn't die, Yuki! The setting sun we watched the day we pledged by the Seine together sparkles like gold in my heart even now!
Yuki: We never saw that! We never pledged! Stop making up past events and put me down!
Ayame: Be strong, Yuki!

"Shorty?! Could a shorty do this?! What else you want to call me: a half-pint bean-sprout midget?! I'm still growing you backwater desert idiots!" ~ Edward Elric
Maes Hughes: Hey, I've got a message from Roy.
Edward Elric: You mean the Colonel?
Maes Hughes: He said,

Maes Hughes: "Don't die under my command, you're enough of a pain without the paperwork." That was it.
Edward Elric: Tell him fine, there's no way I'm dying before you do, you morally bankrupt Colonel with a God complex.

[color=white]Bleach qoutes
Remember this well. There are two types of fights. As we have put our lives in battle, we must be able to distinguish between the two. The fight to protect life, and the fight to protect pride.
Ukitake Jushiro (Bleach)
We are all like fireworks. We climb, shine, and always go our separate ways and become further apart. But even if that time comes, let's not disappear like a firework, and continue to shine forever.
Hitsugaya Toushiro (Bleach)
You know why big brothers are born first? To protect the little ones that come after them.

What has a demon done that a human hasn't?
Calvin & Hobbes quotes
At night my mind does not much care
If what it thinks is here or there.
It tells me stories it invents
And makes up things that don't make sense.
I don't know why it does this stuff.
The real world seems quite weird enough.

Ode to Tigers
Tigers are mean.
Tigers are fierce.
Tigers have teeth
and claws that pierce.
Tigers are great,
they can't be beat.
If I was a tiger,
that would be neat.
Tigers are nimble
and light on their toes,
my respect for tigers
continually grows.
Tigers are great!
They're the toast of the town.
Life's always better
when a tiger's around!
Tigers are perfect,
the e-pit-o-me
of good looks and grace
and quiet dignity.

"Sometimes I think the surest sign that intelligent life exists elsewhere in the universe is that none of it has tried to contact us." ~ Calvin
Calvin: Dad, where do babies come from?
Calvin's Dad: Most people just go to Sears, buy the assembly kit, and read the instructions.
Calvin: I CAME FROM SEARS?!?!
Dad: No, you were a Blue Light Special at Kmart. Almost as good, and a lot cheaper.
Calvin: AAUUGHHH!
Calvin's Mom: Dear, what are you telling him now?!
Calvin's Dad: This year, I thought we'd just keep the tree in the garage.
Calvin: In the GARAGE?!
Calvin's Dad: Sure. You can go out and look at it whenever you want, and it saves all the trouble of decorating it.
Calvin: We're not going to DECORATE it?!
Calvin's Dad: Why bother? We just take it all down in two weeks. On Christmas Day, if you get a present…
Calvin: IF I get A present?!
Calvin's Dad: …you can take it out to the garage to open, and pretend the tree has lots of lights and…
Calvin: MOM!
Calvin's Mom: [threateningly, to Dad] I know somebody who's going to get a lot of coal in his stocking, buster.
Calvin's Dad: This season gets less jolly every year.

Calvin: When are we going to get a Christmas tree?
Dad: Oh, I dunno. Probably a little after New Year's.
Calvin: AFTER NEW YEAR'S?
Dad: Sure. We can just go up the street and pick the best tree from the neighbor's driveways.
Calvin: WHAT?
Dad: Sometimes there's still tinsel on the tree too, so you don't even have to decorate it! We'll save time and money!

Tiger sprawling in the sun
Tiger sprawling in the sun!
Fast asleep, his day is done.
Lying here, 'twas warmth he sought.
The sun has made his tummy hot.
One sad fact he overlooked:
His brain is now completely cooked!
----------------------------------------------------------
What if my bones were in a museum,
Where aliens paid good money to see em?
And suppose that they'd put me together all wrong,
Sticking bones on to bones where they didn't belong!
Imagine phalanges, pelvis, and spine
Welded to mandibles that once had been mine!
With each misassembled, the error compounded,
The aliens would draw back in terror astounded!
Their textbooks would show me in grim illustration,
The most hideous thing ever seen in creation!
The museum would commission a model in plaster
Of ME, to be called, "Evolution's Disaster"!
And paleontologists there would debate
Dozens of theories to help postulate.
How man survived for those thousands of years
With teeth covered arms growing out of his ears!
Oh, I hope that I'm never in such manner displayed,
No matter HOW much to see me the aliens paid.
---------------------------------------------------------
Eighty million years ago,
Back in the late Cretaceous,
Lived the great Tyrannosaur,
A fearsome and predacious
Therapod of monstrous size!
He weighed six tons or more!
He epitomized the concept of
The killer carnivore!
His jaws had teeth like railroad spikes
With fore and aft serrations!
This dental hardware was designed
For quick eviscerations!
With thrashing bites and awful roars
The T. Rex would attack!
He was, it's clear, a savage
Mesozoic maniac!
Imagine then, the panic caused,
The horror and the mayhem,
When this monster came to town
And ate some folks this A.M.!
It was a sight few will forget!
He lunged into the crowd!
The multitude became unglued!
Their screams were long and loud!
People pushed to get away!
The elderly and small
Were trampled underfoot by the
Advancing human wall!
Little Tim was on an errand
With his brother Howard.
They dawdled by the candy shop
And both boys were devoured.
A camera crew from Channel 3
Arrived in town to give
A live report. At this they failed,
Because they didn't live.
At last the menace ate his fill.
The big Tyrannosaur
Stomped away to parts unknown
Where he had lived before.
Tyrannosaurs, though rarely seen,
Are certainly still around.
And no one knows just where or when
The next one will be found.

Tucker: [angrily] "Oh sure, phase the car through the building. You had to save the day, didn't you?"
Danny: "Um, yeah, because a car smashing into the 28th floor of anything is bad"
Danny: "Great. My parents are splitting up, my sister's a basketcase, and I'm going to ghost jail. This may be the worst day of my life."
Skulker: "Well, if it isn't the little whelp who got us locked up in this stinking place. Welcome home." [grins ferally]
Danny: "This is the worst day of my life."
Box Ghost: "I am the Box Ghost!!"
Danny: "Will you stop that?!"
[Danny hesitantly walks into the jail cafeteria full of his enemies] Danny: "Wow, hehe.. Pretty much everyone who hates me all at one table... Just like high school..."
Danny [pointing out Jazz] "What the heck is she so happy about?"
Sam: "Don't ask me. I'm usually the sour one around here, but compared to everyone else, I'm the Gothbird of Happiness."
Danny [about Tucker liking Valerie] "Two-hundred seventy-nine girls in our school, and he's gotta have a crush on the one with the weapons and the grudge."
Danny: "I don't get it. This Ember McLain comes out of nowhere and suddenly she's the biggest thing since mp3s! It's so..."
Sam: "Infuriating how mindless prepackaged corporate bubble gum is preventing true musical artists from being heard?"
Danny: "I was gonna say weird but uh... okay."
Tucker: "Ember's not just about music. She is an expression of my unique individuality." [Everyone in the school is wearing Ember's merchandise.]
Sam: "Oh yeah, you're one of a kind. Every single one of you."
Danny: "Tucker, you're starting to scare me. And I fight ghosts!"
Tucker: "It's an Ember thing. You wouldn't understand it".
Sam: "Uh, you do realize she's an evil mind-controlling spirit from another dimension."
Tucker: "Yeah, but you said the same thing about Paulina."
Danny: "You know, he has a point."
Concessions Kid: [gasps] "I know you. You're Bad Luck Tuck!"
Tucker: "And you're Minimum Wage Stan, but you don't hear me broadcasting it."
Danny [goes home to find a party being thrown]Not getting invited to a party is one thing. But, not getting invited to a party AT MY OWN HOUSE!
Sam: "A curfew?"
Tucker: "An escort?"
Danny: "Okay, who's the idiot security adviser who came up with these lame ideas?" [Jack & Maddie enter the room]
Jack: "Fear not, young ones, we're here to make sure this school is prepared for any ghost emergencies."
Maddie: [On megaphone] "You must be cautious, at any time one of these ectoplasmic malefactors -" [spots Danny in the crowd] "Hi sweetie!" [Danny ducks down and blushes] - could appear out of no where."
Danny: [to Sam & Tucker] "Time to sit in the back where nobody can notice us?"
Sam: "Time to sit in the back where nobody can notice us."
Maddie: [to Danny, with Fenton Bazooka to his head, about to shoot] "By the authority invested in me by the city of Amity Park, I sentence you back from once you came!"
Danny: "Oh man, I have got to start paying more attention in these fights."
Maddie: [finds note on Fenton Bazooka, reads it] "Honey, forgot to fully charge Fenton Bazooka. - Jack. P.S.: Can I have a cookie?"
Danny: "With that, I bid you a fond farewell." [flies away]
Maddie: [waves fist] "You haven't seen the last of me!"
Danny: [out of earshot]" Duh, I'll see you at dinner."
Maddie: [reading ghost detector] "This ecto-storm is coming from the direction of 917 Maple Street."
Jack: "917 Maple, eh? I could have sworn it was coming from that big spooky house with the big, swirly cloud overhead."
Tucker: [thinks Danny is dressed up as Fright Knight] "Pretty neat horse though. What's it made of, flaming bed sheets?"
Fright Knight: "Flaming bed sheets of death!!"
Sam: [reading a spell from a book] "To cease the Storm, to end the Fear, the sword must sheath in pumpkin near. Pumpkin near! Danny, you gotta put the sword back in a pumpkin!"
Danny: "A pumpkin? There are no pumpkins in the room. [short pause] No pumpkins in the room? It's Halloween, what am I, an idiot?"
Danny: "Great. At midnight I get my powers back, at 12:01 the belt zaps me, and at 12:02 Vlad tries to make-out with my mom. Those are gonna be the worst two minutes of my life."
Danny: "So long, Vlad! And as a lonely single man in your forties, might I suggest Internet dating? Or a cat!!"
Vlad:" Mark my words Maddie, no one says no to Vlad Masters! You will rue the day you spurned my affections! And I. Will. Not. Get. A. Cat!!"
Danny: [after draining a pool with Johnny 13's shadow in it]" Enjoy your trip to the sewers! Oh, and if you see Monday's meatloaf, say "Hi" for me."
Sam: [after her parents wake her up and open the blinds, letting the sun in] "I’m a creature of the night, doomed to a family of morning people...."
Sam's Grandma: (Trance-like) Cross over to the dark side! (Sam's parents glare at her) I'm just kidding, lighten up!
Tucker: (Dressed as Sam) This is so wrong. (Holds up some money and smiles at it) But you make it right!
Danny: Terrific, the crooks got away, I'm late for school, and... I've never seen so many Goths out in broad daylight. (Goths open umbrellas)
Sam's Grandma: And just where do you think you're going, Bubeleh?
Sam: You don't understand, grandma! My friend is in trouble and if I don't do something right away...
Sam's Grandma: You know, I had a wild streak when I was your age. (Pulls out a photo album and shows Sam a picture of herself)
Sam: Why are you showing me this?
Sam's Grandma: Who knows? Maybe I'm old and babbling... or maybe you should sneak out and help your friend while I'm lost in my memories. (Smiles at Sam)
Sam: (Kisses her Grandmother on the forehead and runs off)
Sam's Grandma: (Takes off her sweater revealing a Sam-like shirt underneath) This is so wrong... (Puts on a wig matching Sam's hairstyle) But I dig it!
Danny: Hey everyone! Over here! We're Danny Fenton and Sam Manson. We cut school and we're proud of it!
Goth Boy: [Sprays paint Danny's shirt black] You're on of us now.
Tucker: "Good job beating the big cow, Danny."
Danny: "Yeah, well it hasn't stopped Sam from busting my chops about "Cruelty to Unliving Plastic Animals"."
Sam: "I had to choose between fake cows and evil trucks. The cow won."
Danny and Tucker: "Pretty please with those dark licorice sprinkles and the black frosting you like with those little gummy bats on top?"
Jack: "Why should we trust you?"
Dr. Bert Rand: "Because I'm with the government and I can audit your taxes if you don't."
Jack: "We trust you."
Tucker: [from outside the hospital] "Spooky hospital. Ghosts guarding the joint. Still, no sign that Danny's in any real danger yet."
Danny: [from inside the hospital] "Let me go!"
Tucker: "Still, technically not a cry for help."
Danny: "HELP!!"
Tucker: "Well, not a cry for me."
Danny: "TUCKER!!!"
Tucker: "Ah, dang."
Danny: [seeing Spectra turn into a walking snot monster] "I was going to mention that there's a "you blew it" pun on you somewhere, but I rather not."
[later, after the above quote] Spectra: "Alright kid, let's boogie."
Danny: "See, that was the thing I was trying to avoid with the whole "blew it" comment."
Sam: "You realize you're playing with fire."
Danny: "Well, sometimes I have to use my powers for the greater good." [points to Dash]
Dash: [opens his locker and gets half-covered in toilet paper] "Whoa!"
Tucker: [amused] "And come on! How good was that?"
Sam: "Niiice...Using your powers to stuff toilet paper into a locker. He's gonna find out it's you."
Danny: "Have you seen his grades?"
Danny & Tucker: "Never gonna happen!"
Dash: [notices the toilet paper has Jack's face on it] "Hey! This is Fenton Wipe!"
Sam: "Never" is Karma's doorbell. Ding-dong! It's for you."
[Danny and Valerie head into an alleyway, attempting to hide behind a dumpster, but see that Sam is already there.]
Sam: [Points to Danny]
Danny: "Hiding from Dash."
Sam: [Points to Valerie]
Valerie: "Hiding from Nathan. You?"
[Sam points off-screen. The camera cuts to a shot of Sam's mother holding a large pink and yellow dress outside the alleyway.]
Mrs. Manson: "Sammikins, at least try it on!"
Valerie: "Hey, Danny."
Danny: "Hey, Val."
Tucker: "Hey, Val"? Isn't that the same Val that's usually on a jet sled trying to paste Danny?"
Sam: "Yep. And apparently next week, we're having cookies with Skulker!"
Danny: [going through his ghost files with Sam and Tucker] "Okay, Ember: Ghost Zone. Skulker: Ghost Zone. Box Ghost..." [in unison with Tucker and Sam] "Who cares."
Box Ghost: [pops his head out of the Fenton Portal] "Hey! I have feelings too you know!" [the Fenton Portal shuts him out]
Super Danny: "Say, you wear an awful lot of black for a superhero sidekick. Have you considered switching to bright primary colors!?"
Sam: "Tucker, wait up!"
Super Danny: "Have you lost your half of our mind?!"
Fun Danny: "Dude, I'm not the one wearing a bed sheet."
Lance Thunder: [mumbling] "Can't believe I quit acting to work in this place." [to newscaster] "There's chaos here, Bill." [Ghostly Christmas trees surround him; panicking] "Not the face! Not the face!"
Ghost Writer: Danny Fenton hates Christmas. He hates it a lot, / Which is why I've inserted the boy in this plot. / He'll go through this tale till the story is ended.
Danny [angrily]: "But you can't make me rhyme!"
Sam [greets a passerby]: "Hope your new year is splendid!"
Danny: [to the ghosts] "I'm trapped in this story. The guy's off his nut."
Skulker: "He ought to know better."
Box Ghost: "Let's go kick his butt!"
Danny shoves an orange into Walker's mouth, hoping to end the ghost fight] Ghost Writer: [typing] Young Danny thought quickly and picked up an orange. He threw it at Walker who... [stops typing and thinks] Ghost Writer: [angry] Aw, crud! Nothing rhymes with orange!
Jazz walks in the janitor closet holding her laptop with Danny's personal ghost files on it]
Danny: "Where did you get this?!"
Jazz: "From your computer."
Danny: "You hacked into my personal ghost files?! And how did you get the password?!"
Sam, Tucker, and Jazz: "It's Paulina Fenton. "
Sam: "Seriously Danny, it's not that hard to figure it out."
Jazz: "How come you never told me Vlad Masters has ghost powers? And he has a thing for Mom?!"
Danny: "Because it's none of your business!"
Sam: "If you don't mind, we'll be over there, doing the "glad I'm an only child" dance."
[Jack: "Danny, word on the street has it that you've got a girlfriend! [to Sam and Tucker] Can you two leave so I can have a totally awkward "father and son"-chat?"
Sam & Tucker: "Gone and gone."
[Scene cuts to Jack & Danny eating Ice cream in the kitchen.]
Danny: "Does it have to be awkward?"
Jack: "Yep. I'm gonna give you some fatherly advice. Then I am going to say something that makes you cringe and run out of the room in embarrassment."
Dash: "What kind of a mouse hole is this? Where's the matchbox sofa and the coffee table made out of a spool of thread?"
Danny: "You watch way too many cartoons."
Dash: "Doing manual labor for a geek we used to make fun of? This isn't supposed to happen until we're, like, thirty."
Kwan:" Dude! I don't think we'll even make it to thirty. We're doomed."
[Danny, Sam, and Tucker arrive at Goth-apalooza, only to find the place overrun with ultra-cute decorations and teddy bears.] Teddy Bears: "WE LOVE YOU!!"
Sam: "Destroy them, Danny! Find the gem that did this AND TEAR THE STUFFING OUT OF EVERY LAST ONE OF THEM!!"
Danny: "Somehow, I don't think that'll be necessary... May I have the Gem of Form?
Teddy Bears: Say the magic word!"
Sam: "Die?"
Danny: "Please?"
Sam: [after Goth-apalooza is restored] "Ah, I love the smell of anti-establishment in the evening."
Danny: [determined look] "Okay, Fenton...you've looked evil in the face, and defeated it time and again...you can do this! [unfolds a map and looks at it confusedly; traces his finger along the map] We turn left at Skulker's island and right at Walker's jail. Or, is it a left at Walker's jail and a right at Skulker's island...? "
Sam: "Um, are we ever going home, or are we still playing "Lost in the Ghost Zone"?"
Danny: "We're not lost! My expertly drawn map tells me exactly where we are. [points] We just hook a u-turn around this swirling vortex of infinite pain, and we're home. Oh, wait, that's a...thumbprint."
Sam: "What is it with you guys not asking for directions?"
Tucker: "Now I've missed my 4:05 feeding! [clutches at Sam, dramatically] If I don't make it...tell my PDA, I love her. [lays down against Sam] The cell phone meant nothing to me."
Frostbite: "Thank you!" [picks up Danny and hugs him]
Sam: "Aww...a boy and his snow monster."
Tucker: "Is there a greater love to be found anywhere?"
Billy:" Mom, are you sure there are no ghosts under my bed?"
Billy's Mom: "Of course not, Billy. Remember what President Rosevelt said: "We have nothing to be afraid of but fear itself." "
Danny: [Phases through the bed] "Actually, it was: "Nothing to FEAR but fear itself."
[Billy and Billy's Mom scream in fright. Danny, Sam and Tucker exit out of the portal before it closes on them.]
Sam: "Great, we just scarred a child for life."
Danny: "I just wanted to make sure she didn't mess up the one historical quote I actually remember!"
Danny:"What do you want, Skulker?"
Skulker: "My girlfriend thinks I'm a lousy hunter. But hanging your pelt on my wall should change her mind."
Danny: "Wow."
Skulker: "Frightened now?"
Danny: "No. I can't believe you have a girlfriend."
Skulker: "Now that just plain hurts."
Danny: [to Skulker, who is on the head of a giant lake monster] "New pet, or is this the girlfriend I've been hearing so much about?"
Danny: "I can't change back to Danny Fenton! Me and the other Danny were fighting and we ran into my dad's Ecto-Stoppo-Power-ofier, and I think it's taking away our ghost powers."
Tucker: "Does your dad ever invent anything that doesn't mess you up?"
Sam: "Or without a dorky name?"
Box Ghost: "Behold! The Lunchbox of Fear!" [opens it, a spooky thermos comes out]
Danny: [catches it] "Hey, bringing your own thermos to our battles, now? You know, you could save us time by showing up already inside it."
Box Ghost: "And now... taste your multi-grain DOOM!" [Lunchbox of Fear shoots out hundreds of sandwiches that rain down on everyone]
Lady: "Look! That caterer brought free lunch for everyone!" Crowd: [cheers and picks the sandwiches up]
Box Ghost: "No! I am no caterer! My sandwiches are very high in calories! They will totally clog your arteries!"
Sam: [scoffs] "In like, forty years!"
Box Ghost: "Yeah? So? It is a SLOW death!" [Danny and Tucker start eating their sandwiches.]
Box Ghost: [confused] "Wait, what are you doing?"
Danny: "Tasting our doom. And, I gotta tell ya, it's a little dry."
Tucker: "You wouldn't happen to have any "Spicy Mustard of Doom", would ya?"
Lady: [as shoes rain down] "Hey everyone! The catering shoe salesman is giving out free samples!"
Box Ghost: "I am NOT a catering shoe salesman! You are supposed to tremble as my menacing footwear pinches your feet like nobody's business!"
Lady 2: [unimpressed, holds up a purple shoe] "Do you have these in an "8"?"
Danny: [reading about Pandora's Box] "Plagues, pestilence, boy bands, man this is one evil box."
Tucker: [firing a bazooka at snakes]
Sam: "Forget the snakes, Tucker, aim for the dragon!"
Tucker: "You battle your phobia, I'll battle mine."
Sam: "If we were battling my phobia, that dragon would be a giant, fire-breathing cheerleader."
Danny: At least the monster is gone.
Dash: [screams and runs into the mess hall] The monster ate Kwan!
Tucker: At least the monster got to eat.
Danny: Dash, that's impossible! He...probably just...wandered off to use the bathroom.
Dash: Nah-uh! You don't know Kwan's amazing bladder. He can hold it for-
Sam: [as she gets up and walks way] Uh, please don't finish that sentence until I'm safely out of the building.
Tucker: Please don't finish that sentence at all, dude.
Technus: [picks up three DVDs; to store worker] "Well, look on the bright side: at least I'm not downloading them illegally."
Danny: [appears and punches Technus away] "Next register, Cyber-Jerk!"

[color=pink]Pirates of the Carribean Quotes
movie 1
Barbossa: How the blazes did you get off that island?
Jack Sparrow: When you marooned me on that god forsaken spit of land, you forgot one very important thing, mate: I'm Captain Jack Sparrow.
Jack Sparrow: Me? I'm dishonest, and a dishonest man you can always trust to be dishonest. Honestly. It's the honest ones you want to watch out for, because you can never predict when they're going to do something incredibly... stupid.
Jack Sparrow: [Wakes up and sees Elizabeth burning the rum] No! Not good! Stop! Not good! What are you doing? You burned all the food, the shade... the rum.
Elizabeth: Yes, the rum is gone.
Jack Sparrow: Why is the rum gone?
Elizabeth: One: because it is a vile drink that turns even the most respectable men into complete scoundrels. Two: that signal is over a thousand feet high. The entire Royal Navy is out looking for me. Do you really think there is even the slightest chance they won't see it?
Jack Sparrow: But why is the rum gone?
Elizabeth: Just wait captain Sparrow. You give it one hour, maybe two; keep a weather eye out and you will see white sails on that horizon. [Jack momentarily considers shooting her with his single bullet he has been saving for ten years before stomping off]
Jack Sparrow: "Must have been terrible for you to be trapped here Jack. Must have been terrible for you." Well it bloody is now! [Seeing Norrington's ship off shore, vindicating her plan]
Jack Sparrow: There'll be no living with her after this.
[after Jack steals the Interceptor]
Officer: That's got to be the best pirate I've ever seen.
Norrington: So it would seem.
Mullroy: What's your purpose in Port Royal, Mr. Smith?
Murtogg: Yeah, and no lies.
Jack Sparrow: Well, then, I confess, it is my intention to commandeer one of these ships, pick up a crew in Tortuga, raid, pillage, plunder and otherwise pilfer my weasely black guts out. Murtogg: I said no lies.
Mullroy: I think he's telling the truth.
Murtogg: If he were telling the truth, he wouldn't have told us.
Jack Sparrow: Unless, of course, he knew you wouldn't believe the truth even if he told it to you.
Jack Sparrow: I know those cannons. It's the Pearl.
Man in Jail: The Black Pearl? I've heard stories. She's been preying on ships and settlements for near ten years. Never leaves any survivors.
Jack Sparrow: No survivors? Then where do the stories come from, I wonder?
Lt. Gillette: This ship cannot be crewed by two men. You'll never make it out of the bay.
Jack Sparrow: Son, I'm Captain Jack Sparrow. Savvy?
Jack Sparrow: Is there a problem between us, Miss Swann?
Elizabeth: You were going to tell Barbossa about Will in exchange for a ship.
Jack Sparrow: We could use a ship. But the truth is, I wasn't going to tell Barbossa about Will, as long as I had something to bargain with, which now nobody has, thanks to bloody stupid Will.
Elizabeth: Oh.
Jack Sparrow: [mockingly] Oh
Jack Sparrow: [Will and Jack have just taken over the Interceptor after Norrington's men go onto the Dauntless] Thank you, Commodore, for getting us ready to make sail! We would have had a hard time of it by ourselves!
Jack Sparrow: This is the day you will always remember as the day you almost caught Captain Jack Sparrow!
Barbossa: [after Jack show up alive after leaving him on the island a second time] Its not possible
Jack Sparrow: Not Probable
Will Turner: Jack. Where's Elizabeth?
Jack Sparrow: She's safe, just like I promised. She's all set to marry Norrington, just like she promised. And you get to die for her just like you promised.
Jack Sparrow: [pauses and thinks] So we are all men of our word really. Except for Elizabeth who is in fact a woman.
Movie 2:
Tia Dalma: Land is where you are safe, Jack Sparrow, and so you will carry land with you. Jack Sparrow: Dirt. This is a jar of dirt.
Tia Dalma: Yes.
Jack Sparrow: ...Is the jar of dirt going to help?
Tia Dalma: If you don't want it, give it back.
Jack Sparrow: [greedily] No!
Tia Dalma: Then it helps.
Will Turner: You want me to find this?
Jack Sparrow: No. You want you to find this, because the finding of this finds you incapacitorially finding and or locating in your discovering the detecting of a way to save your dolly belle, ol' what's-her-face. Savvy?
Will Turner: This is going to save Elizabeth?
Jack Sparrow: How much do you know about Davy Jones?
Will Turner: Not much.
Jack Sparrow: Yeah, it's going to save Elizabeth.
Elizabeth Swann: [as Will, Jack, and Norrington fight] Stop it! Will!
Will Turner: Guard the chest!
Elizabeth Swann: [indignantly] No! This is barbaric! This is no way for grown men to settle... oh, fine! Let's just haul out our swords and start banging away at each other! That will solve everything! I've had it! I've had it with wobbly-legged, rum-soaked pirates! [starts throwing rocks at them]
Elizabeth Swann: Enough! This is madness! [faking]
Elizabeth Swann: Oh! Oh, the heat! [pretends to faint, then opens one eye to see that none of them have noticed]
Jack Sparrow: [after searching the shattered jar of dirt for Davy Jones' heart] Where is it? Where is the thump-thump?
Jack Sparrow: [with his back to Elizabeth, thinking that she is a man] Come to join my crew, lad? Welcome aboard!
Elizabeth Swann: I'm here to find the man I love.
Jack Sparrow: [startled] I'm deeply flattered, son, but my first and only love is the sea.
Elizabeth Swann: Meaning William Turner, Captain Sparrow.
Jack Sparrow: [turning around] Elizabeth! [to Gibbs]
Jack Sparrow: Hide the rum.
Norrington: Come on, then! Who wants some? Form an orderly line, I'll have you all one by one. Come on, who's first?
Elizabeth Swann: [Grabs bottle from Norrington's hand and smashes it over his head] I just wanted the pleasure of doing that myself.
Jack Sparrow: [holds up jar of dirt] Oi! Fishface! Lose something? Eh? Scungilli! [falls down stairs, holds up jar again] Jack Sparrow: Got it! Come to negotiate, eh? Have you, you slimy git? Look what I got. Jack Sparrow: [sing-song] I got a jar of dirt, I got a jar of dirt, and guess what's inside it!
Gibbs: [Tia Dalma just uncovered Jack's Black Spot] The Black Spot! [he does a strange superstitious dance] Ragetti: The Black Spot!
Pintel: Black Spot! [Pintel and Ragetti do the same dance]
Jack Sparrow: My eyesight's as good as ever, just so you know.
Jack Sparrow: So what's your plan, then?
Will Turner: I row over, search the ship until I find your bloody key.
Jack Sparrow: And if there are crewmen?
Will Turner: I cut down anyone in my path. J
ack Sparrow: [turns to Gibbs] I like it. Simple, easy to remember.
Jack Sparrow: No, no! More wood! Big fire! I am chief! Want big fire!
Gibbs: Where's the Commodore?
Jack Sparrow: He fell behind.
Gibbs: [solemnly] My prayers be with him. [suddenly brightens]
Gibbs: Best not wallow in our grief!
Gibbs: And mark my words, what bodes ill for Jack Sparrow bodes ill for us all.
Jack Sparrow: Darling, I am truly unhappy to have to tell you this, but through an unfortunate and entirely unforeseeable series of circumstances that had nothing whatsoever to do with me, poor Will has been press-ganged into Davy Jones's crew.
Jack Sparrow: [to Pintel and Ragetti] Guard the boat, mind the tide... don't touch my dirt.
Tia Dalma: You know of Davy Jones? A man of the sea, a great sailor. Until he run afoul of that which vexes all men.
Will Turner: What vexes all men?
Tia Dalma: What indeed.
Gibbs: The sea?
Pintel: Sums?
Ragetti: The dichotomy of good and evil?
Jack Sparrow: A woman.
Tia Dalma: A woman. He fell in love.
Gibbs: No, no, I heard it was the sea he fell in love with.
Tia Dalma: [annoyed] Same story, different versions. And all are true. See, it was a woman as changing and harsh and untamable as the sea. Him never stopped loving her. But the pain it caused was to much to live with, but not enough to cause him to die.
Will Turner: What exactly did he put into the chest?
Tia Dalma: Him heart.
Ragetti: Literally or figuratively?
Pintel: He couldn't literally put his heart in a chest. Could he?
Tia Dalma: It was not worth feeling what small, fleeting joy life brings.
Gibbs: So, we're setting out to find whatever this key unlocks?
Jack Sparrow: No. If we don't have the key, we can't open whatever we don't have that it unlocks. So what purpose would be served in finding whatever need be unlocked, which we don't have, without first having found the key what unlocks it?
Gibbs: So, we're setting out to find this key?
Jack Sparrow: Now you're not making any sense at all.
Jack Sparrow: Gentlemen, what do keys do?
Leech: Keys... unlock... *things*?
Pintel: ...I always heard it said "kray-kin"
Ragetti: What? With a long A?
Pintel: Uh-huh.
Ragetti: Na-na-na-na-no-no no "Krah-ken"'s how it's pronounced in the original Scandinavian, and "Krakken"'s closer to that.
Pintel: Well we ain't original Scandinavians, are we? Kray-kin.
Ragetti: It's a mythological creature, I can calls it what I wants!
Pintel: [watching Norrington, Will and Jack fight whilst Elizabeth is screaming and throwing rocks] How'd this go all screwy?
Ragetti: Well, each wants the chest for hisself, don't 'e? Mr. Norrington, I think, is trying to regain a bit of honor. Old Jack's looking to trade it, save his own skin. And Turner there, I think 'e's trying to settle some unresolved business twixt him and his twice-cursed pirate father.
Pintel: Sad.
Elizabeth Swann: It's real!
Norrington: You actually were telling the truth.
Jack Sparrow: I do that quite a lot. Yet people are always surprised.
Will Turner: With good reason.
Marty: [Marty picks up the cloth] It's a key! Jack Sparrow: No! Much more better. It is a *drawing* of a key.
Will Turner: What about Jack? I won't leave without him! [Jack runs in followed by hundreds of angry cannibals] Will Turner: Never mind! Let's go!
Captain Bellamy: [he sees that the quartermaster and the bursar are arguing over a dress] If you both fancy the dress, you'll just have to share, and wear it one after the other.
Burser: It's not like that, sir. The ship is haunted.
Elizabeth Swann: There will come a time when you have a chance to do the right thing.
Jack Sparrow: I love those moments. I like to wave at them as they pass by.
Jack Sparrow: I want my jar of dirt!
Movie 3:
Jack Sparrow: He needs the Pearl. Captain Turner needs the Pearl, Jack Sparrow: [to Elizabeth] and you felt guilty, Jack Sparrow: [to Barbossa] and you and your Brethren Court. Jack Sparrow: Did no one come to save me just because they missed me? [Everyone looks around. Pintel, Ragetti, and Jack The Monkey cautiously raise their hands] Jack Sparrow: I'm standing over there with them.
Captain Ammand: [about Barbossa] Shoot him!
Captain Jocard: Cut out his tongue!
Jack Sparrow: Shoot him and cut out his tongue, then shoot his tongue! And trim that scraggly beard!
Jack Sparrow: Why should I sail with any of you? Four of you have tried to kill me in the past... one of you succeeded.
[looks at Elizabeth; Will looks at her; she looks around, guiltily]
Jack Sparrow: Oh, she's not told you. You'll have loads to talk about while you're here.
Jack Sparrow: [to Tia Dalma] As for you...
Tia Dalma: Now don't tell me you didn't enjoy it at the time.
Jack Sparrow: Fair enough. You're in.
[begins going down the line of pirates on the beach]
Jack Sparrow: [to Ragetti] Don't need you, you scare me. Gibbs, you can come. Marty, Cotton... Cotton's parrot, I'm a little iffy... At least I'll have someone to talk to.
[to Tai Huang]
Jack Sparrow: Who are you?
Tai Huang: Tai Huang. These are my men.
Jack Sparrow: Where does your allegiance lie?
Tai Huang: With the highest bidder.
Jack Sparrow: I have a ship.
Tai Huang: That makes you the highest bidder.
Jack Sparrow: Good man. 'Weigh anchor all hands. Prepare to make sail.
[takes out compass]
Cotton's Parrot: 'Weigh anchor.
Barbossa: [pats the charts in his hands] Jack... Which way ya goin', Jack?
Jack Sparrow: [examining the map] Up is down. That's just maddeningly unhelpful. Why are these things never clear?
Miniature Jack 1: [voice] Clear as mud, Jackie...
Jack Sparrow: What? Eh?
Miniature Jack 1: [appearing from Jack's left dreadlocks] Stab the heart.
Miniature Jack 2: [appearing from Jack's right dreadlocks] Don't stab the heart.
Jack Sparrow: Come again?
Miniature Jack 2: The Dutchman must have a captain...
Jack Sparrow: Well that's even more than less than unhelpful.
Miniature Jack 1: Sail the seas for eternity.
Jack Sparrow: [smiling] I love the sea...
Miniature Jack 2: What about port?
Jack Sparrow: I prefer rum... Rum's good.
Miniature Jack 2: Making port, where we can get rum and sultry wenches... once every ten years.
Miniature Jack 1: What'd he say?
Jack Sparrow: Once every ten years.
Miniature Jack 1: Ten years is a long time, mate.
Jack Sparrow: Even longer, given the deficit of rum.
Miniature Jack 1: ...But eternity is longer still.
Miniature Jack 2: And how'll you be spending it? Dead?
Miniature Jack 1: ...Or not... The Immortal Captain Jack Sparrow.
Jack Sparrow: Ooh, I like that.
Miniature Jack 2: [looking out to the sea] Come sunset and it won't matter.
Jack Sparrow: [realizing] ... Not sunset... Sundown! And Rise... Up!
Jack Sparrow: We must fight... to run away!
as the ship is rocking]
Pintel: He's rocking the ship!
Ragetti: We'll tie each other to the mast upside down so when the boat flips we'll be the right way up!
[Barbossa is giving orders and Jack repeats the order]
Barbossa: What are you doin'?
Jack Sparrow: What are *you* doin'?
Barbossa: No, what *are* you doin'?
Jack Sparrow: What are *you* doin'?
Barbossa: *No!* What *are* you doin'?
Jack Sparrow: What are *you* doin'? Captain gives orders on the ship.
Barbossa: The captain of the ship *is* givin' orders.
Jack Sparrow: My ship, makes me captain.
Barbossa: They be my charts!
Jack Sparrow: Well, that makes you
[pause]
Jack Sparrow: chartman.
Pintel: Stow it! Both of you! That's an order! Understand?
[Jack and Barbossa stare at him]
Pintel: Sorry. I just thought with the Captain issue in doubt, I'd throw my name in for consideration, sorry.
Ragetti: [to Pintel] I'd vote for you.
Mullroy: [as Jack is taking his effects] There has definitely been a breakdown in discipline aboard this vessel.
Murtogg: I blame the fish-people.
Mullroy: [Sarcastically] Ohh, so fish-people, by dint of being fish-people are less disciplined than non-fish-people?
Murtogg: [as Jack is taking the chest] It seems contributory.
Murtogg: Of course, if there were no fish-people, then there would be no need to guard the chest.
Mullroy: And if there were no chest, then we wouldn't need to be here to guard it.
[both realise that the chest is gone and the apparent danger they're in]
Barbossa: [Jack and Barbossa see the dead Kraken] Still thinkin' of running, Jack? Think you can outrun the world? You know the problem with being the last of anything, by and by there be none left at all.
Jack Sparrow: Sometimes things come back mate. We're livin' proof, you and me.
Barbossa: Aye, but that's a gamble of long odds, ain't it? There's never a guarantee of comin' back. But passin' on, that's dead certain.
Jack Sparrow: Summoning the brethren court then, is it?
Barbossa: It's our only hope, lad.
Jack Sparrow: That's a sad commentary in and of itself.
Barbossa: The world used to be a bigger place.
Jack Sparrow: World's still the same. There's just less in it
Cabin Boy: [sung] The King and his men stole the Queen from her bed /And bound her in her bones./ The seas be ours and by the powers/ Where we will, we'll roam.
[joined by other prisoners]
Cabin Boy: Yo ho, all hands, hoist the colours high/ Heave ho, thieves and beggars, never shall we die!/ Yo ho, haul together, hoist the colours high/ Heave ho, thieves and beggars, never shall we die!
Captain Jocard: Who is this traitor?
Barbossa: Not likely one among us.
Elizabeth Swann: Where's Will?
Jack Sparrow: Not among us.
Gibbs: Look alive, men! It's not for naught it's called Shipwreck Island where lie Shipwreck Cove in the town of Shipwreck.
Jack Sparrow: You know, for all that pirates are clever-called, we are an unimaginative lot when it comes to naming things.
Gibbs: [nods] Aye.
Jack Sparrow: I once sailed with a geezer lost both his arms and part of his eye.
Gibbs: What did you call him?
Jack Sparrow: [pause] Larry.
Gibbs: Jack! The world needs you back something fierce!
Will Turner: Cutler Beckett has the heart of Davy Jones, he controls the Flying Dutchman.
Elizabeth Swann: He's taking over the sea!
Tia Dalma: The song has already been sung! The brethren court is called!
Jack Sparrow: I leave you people alone for just a minute look what happens, everything's gone to pot!
[Jack is about to eat a peanut when a shot is heard. He falls to the ground to reveal ANOTHER Jack Sparrow]
Jack Sparrow: [picking up the peanut] MY peanut!
Elizabeth Swann: [of the Pirate Lords and their crews fighting each other] This is madness.
Jack Sparrow: This is politics.
Jack Sparrow: Why would he do that? Because he's a lummox, isn't he? Well, we shall have a magnificent garden party, and you're not invited!
Officer: Which ship do we follow?
Lord Cutler Beckett: Signal the Dutchman to track down Sao Feng. We follow the Pearl. How soon can we have the ship ready to pursue?
Officer: [Officer looks back towards a cracking sound, and watches as the large mast falls down. He looks on towards the Black Pearl, admirably] Do you think he plans it all out, or just makes it up as he goes along?
Pintel: No one said anything about cold.
Ragetti: I'm sure there must be a good reason for our suffering.
Pintel: Why don't that Obeah woman bring Jack back the same way she brought back Barbossa?
Tia Dalma: Because Barbossa was only dead. Jack Sparrow is taken body and soul to a place not of death, but of punishment, the worst fate a person can bring upon himself stretching on forever. That's what awaits at Davy Jones' locker.
Ragetti: Well, I knew there was a good reason.
Lord Cutler Beckett: [Jack is about to light a cannon that's pointed at the mast] You're mad.
Jack Sparrow: Thank goodness for that, 'cause if I wasn't this would probably never work.
[fires the cannon, which catapults him onto his ship, landing safely on his feet behind his crew]
Jack Sparrow: And that was without even a single drop of rum.
Jack Sparrow: Mr. Gibbs!
Gibbs: Aye, cap'n?
Jack Sparrow: You may throw my hat if you wish.
Gibbs: Aye, AYE!
[Gibbs throws Jack's hat into the celebrating crowd]
Gibbs: Hurrah!
Jack Sparrow: Now go and get it.
Barbossa: Dying is the day worth living for.
Ragetti: [watching the souls of the dead float by the ship en route to Davy Jones' Locker] Wonder what would happen if we were to drop a cannonball on them...
Barbossa: There's not been a gatherin' like this in our lifetime.
Jack Sparrow: And I owe them all money...
Jack Sparrow: [as the real Jack escapes the brig] I miss him already
Jack Sparrow: He was quite charming, wasn't he?
Jack Sparrow: NOBODY MOVE! I've dropped me brain.
[Sao Feng holds a knife near a frightened Asian man]
Captain Sao Feng: Drop your weapons, or I kill the man!
Barbossa: Kill him, he's not our man.
Will Turner: Wait... if he's not with you... and he's not with us... then who is he with?
[Everybody on the Black Pearl tries to shoot each other... and fails]
Gibbs: Wet powder!
[Everyone gets down to sailing the ship, crisis over... ]
Pintel: Wait! We can still use them as clubs!
[Ragetti tries this idea out by whacking Pintel]
Pintel: OW!
Ragetti: Sorry. Effective, though.
Pintel: Those aren't pieces of eight. They're pieces of junk!
Gibbs: When the First Brethren Court was called, they needed an emblem to symbolize their elite membership. However, they were short on the money side, so they used whatever they had in their pockets...
Pintel: So change the name!
Gibbs: To what, to "Nine Pieces of Whatever We Have in Our Pockets"? Oh, yes, that's very piratey...
[Every pirate on the battlefield glares at Jack Sparrow]
Jack Sparrow: Parley...
Barbossa: You've always run away from a fight!
Jack Sparrow: I have not!
Barbossa: You have so!
Jack Sparrow: Have not!
Barbossa: Have so!
Jack Sparrow: Have not!
Barbossa: Have so!
Jack Sparrow: Have not!
Barbossa: You have so and you know it!
Lord Cutler Beckett: [upon seeing the Dutchman resurface] Ah, she survived.
[the crew of the Dutchman is shown back in their human forms]
Will Turner: [as the immortal captain of the Dutchman] Ready on the guns!
Movie 4
Joshamee Gibbs: Any idea how to get her out?
Captain Jack Sparrow: We need a crossbow, an hour glass, three goats, one of us must learn to play the trumpet while the other goes like *this*.
Joshamee Gibbs: I know a man with a goat.
Captain Jack Sparrow: Great! I can go like *this*.
Captain Jack Sparrow: The Black Pearl in a bottle? Why is the Black Pearl in a bottle?
Captain Jack Sparrow: I understand everything... except that wig
Captain Jack Sparrow: You are guilty of being innocent of being Jack Sparrow.
Captain Teague: Does this face looks like its been to the Fountain of Youth?
Captain Jack Sparrow: Depends on the light.
Captain Jack Sparrow: Did everyone see that, because I will not be doing it again!
Captain Jack Sparrow: Captain, I wish to report a mutiny! I can name fingers and point names.

My dog Draco! January 26, 2001 - November 19, 2011
He will be deeply missed. Got him from a collie breeder somewhere in south Florida. Our family's first dog. The friendliest dog you would've met. Loved his family and people.
Our cat Chase! Got him from the Humane Society when he was a little kitten. He's eight years old. Acts likes he's in charge of the place. Doesn't really like play with cat toys (except for string and feathers). Loves to scratch our couch. Got along well with Draco.
