Quotes edit
-
“Something else always comes along. You go to jail, you don’t have to worry about anything. No rent to pay. No food bill to sweat. Free dental plan. And that’s worth something, dude. You don’t want to stick your nose up at free dental.”
Mooner -
“I lucked out and got laid off, dude. I'm telling you, this is a great country. Where else could a dude get paid for not working?”
Mooner -
“Other women have mothers who get sick and go to nursing homes to die in their beds. Not me. I have a mother who wears spandex. What did I do to deserve this?”
Helen -
“The corners of Morelli's mouth twitched up ever so slightly. Jerk.”
Stephanie Plum -
“"Honey," Mrs Dale said, 'you bring that man back to life and I'll hit you with the meat mallet until your head looks like veal patty." She bent over her husband. "Anyway, look at him. He's dead as a doorknob. A body couldn't get any deader."”
Mrs Dale -
“My Grandmother was standing in the doorway when I drove up. She lived with my parents now that my grandfather was buying his lotto tickets directly from God.”
