Quotes edit see section history

  • “I got extra-strength cherry-scented condoms in here too. Cause you never know when Tank might be needing some emergency quality time”
    Lula
  • “Grandma was a closet free spirit for the first seventy years of her life. She kicked the door open when my grandpa died, and now nobody can get her back in.”
    Stephanie Plum
  • “Diesel finished his breakfast and stood. "Need help?" "Are you any good at finding lost grandmothers?" "Nope. Not my area of expertise." "What is your area of expertise?" I asked him. Diesel grinned at me. "Besides that.'' I said. "Maybe she just took off for a nooner with the butcher." My mother gasped. Horrified that Diesel would say such a thing, and doubly horrified because she knew it was a possibility.”
    Stephanie Plum
  • “We were tumbling around and I caught a flash of gold in my peripheral vision and realized it was Lula. "Outta my way." Lula said. I rolled off and Lula sat down hard on Major. Major let out a woof of air, farted, and went inert. An old man looked down at Major. "He's dead." Lula got off Major. I attached the second cuff, and Major still didn't move. We all took a closer look. "I might have seen him breathe just then." Lula said. "I got a defibrillator on my Rascal." someone said. "You want to try to jump start him?" "I got some oxygen." someone else said. Lula got her foot under Major and turned him over. His eyes were open. His lips were pressed tightly together. "Christ." Major said through clenched teeth. "He just got breathless," Lula said "I have that effect on men on account of I'm a supermodel"”
    Stephanie and Lula
  • “"I'm guessing that wasn't your mother" "It was Ranger" "doing a bed check?" "He likes to know his family is safe"”
    Diesel and Stephanie
