Favorite quotes from Halfway to the Grave

[Raven]

"Face it- without me, you're looking for a needle in a fangstack."
page 34 (Bones to Cat about finding her father)

Great, that was going to leave a mark. There'd be a bruise the size of my stupidity.
page 70 (Cat, to herself)

"...be good only if being bad ain't more fun!"
page 194 (Tara to Cat)

"I'm great as bait! All the vampires want to eat me!"
page 195 (Cat to Bones)

"You don't get your meanness from your father- you get it from her. She bit me."
page 344 (Bones to Cat about Justina)

Wow,I have too many!A few of my favorites I can think of right now are:

Cat:"But why?I'm great as bait!All the vampires want to eat me!"
and also

Bones:"I thawt I thaw a putty tat!"
Bones:"I did,I did thee a putty tat!" <-- hehe i laughed my butt of when i first read the book,and saw his Tweety imatation!
This part really had me laughing though.
(the entire scene actually,but I'm just saying certain parts of it)
Bones:"I'm glad your still upright,Charles,and the only reason you are is because she didn't have any silver.She'd have staked you right and proper otherwise.She has a tendency to shrivel someone first then introduce herself afterwards."
Cat:"That's uncalled for!"I said,insulted at the suggestion that I might be homicidal.
then later on...
Cat:"Oh,this'll be fun!"
Spade:"Where's she off to?"
Bones:"To hand you your arse,and for the record,if I htought I had any chance of keeping her out of this,I would.Woman's stubborn beyond reason."
Spade:"Stubbornness wont keep her alive.I'm astounded you'd allow her to-"
Cat:"Ok,so your a big bad vampire who's gonna rip my throat out,right?You see I'm armed-with steel,since this is a demonstraion and I don't want you to end up smelly-and you don't care because I'm just an artey in a dress.If you get a moouth on my throat first,you win,but if I plug you heart first,I do."
Spade:"Is she joking?"
Bones:"Not at all."
Cat:"Dinners getting cold.Come and get me,bloodsucker."
Spade:"Well,strike me pink!"
Cat:"I dont know what that means,but okay."

Hehe,I love that part.Then of course,the blood-chilling line-"If you run from me,I'll chase you.And I'll find you."

I'm surprised I haven't seen this one posted:

"Once you go dead, no ones better in bed"

I find myself mumbling it like lyrics to a soung I can't get out of my head.

[MissAchaerus]

Ok...actually I could write down almost the whole book but...

"I am a nice young girl here to pick up your granddaughter for the weekend." ... "We're going to a Bible retreat to scare the devil out of her." (Bones to Cat's grandparents, page 173)

"I can only say that it was caused by my natural affront to the notion of her as my sister. Since I'll be shagging her tonight, you can imagine how I'd be distressed at the thought of rogering my sibling." (Bones to Timmie, page 225)
Yeah...just imagine Timmies face XD

Or the other way round:
"Hi. We're sleeping together." (Cat to Francesca about Bones, page 236)
Oh my God, I laughed so much. Cat's sometimes so shy and then...yeah, reminded me of myself...>.< I can also be very direct sometimes and afterwards I'm embarrassed (but I've never said that...)

Ok...actually I could write down almost the whole book but...

I really agree with you there, be careful ladies, otherwise we'll end up with an online copy of HTTG...

One of my favourites, besides the ones mentioned is quite odd. It's when Bones says "go and make yourself a pot of tea. Off you go."
Cause it reminds me about how brittish Bones is, and I'm really soft for brittish accents...

(sorry if I didn't get the wording right, I've finally made my friend read HTTG and she borrowed my copy...)

[HidingInPlainSight]

"You! You tricked me! I never want to see you or your bottle of liquid arsenic again!" LOL, I just love that one. Besides being hard to find, illegal, and pretty darn gross, moonshine is almost 100% alcohol. Three shots and I was out cold.

Also from that same scene (earlier though): "Let me get this straight. You want me to go stomping through a graveyard brandishing a bottle of booze to rouse an unrestful spirit so I can interrogate him?"

I love Timmie, too! He's so cluelessly hilarious, "I don't mind foreigners. God save the queen!" and then Cat's reply. "Didn't hear that part? Nevermind. Don't ask."

„Now, will you stop griping every time you have to lick a few bits off my pieces?“

“I hope worms shit on your corpse!”

“If my pipes still worked, I’d go right back there and piss on your grave!”

“No. I don’t think you are pretty. I think you’re the most beautiful girl I’ve ever seen.”

“I hate to inform you, luv, but you and Winston don’t have a future together.”

“Hello, handsome”, I said in my most alluring voice.
“Not now.” … “Excuse me?
“I’m busy”
“I was wondering, um…” …
“Want to fuck?”
“Bad timing, luv. Have to wait until later. Be a good bird and fly away, I’ll find you.”

“I’m ready to fuck now.”
“What?”

“You got anything to drink around here? Nothing with clots in it, I mean, or that can be classified as O-negative or B-positive. Hmm?”

“I hope you choke on my blood, you jerk.”

“Are you telling me bloody caramel apples and books taught you how to kill vampires?”

I have a lot more. At the moment I read it again and write down all the good quotes... I thought about creating a fanpage with all the quotes, but I don't know if that is allowed?

My favourite ones are:

"It hasn´t escaped my notice that you only compliment me when you´re intoxicated.Makes you right more agreeable,it does"


"She has a tendency to shrivel someone first and then introduce herself afterwards"

[Greek Bee]

Probably already been said, but, the "Artery Party" bit cracks me up every time.

[Aeternitas]

“Nothing going on here!”
“Sure…I can see that.” Ted
