Rufus T. Firefly: [trying to decide if Chicolini, Firefly, Pinky, or Bob Roland will make a suicidal run into no-mans-land to get help] One of us has got to go get word to General Cooper and his men. One of us has got to go and risk his life for his ...
Robert Ford: They gave me ten days. Charley Ford: For what? Robert Ford: Arresting him. Charley Ford: You and me, huh? Robert Ford: It's going to happen one way or another. It's going to happen, Charley, and it might as well be us who get rich on it....
My laboratory,' I said, experimentally, drawing out each syllable. 'Why is it that saying it like that always makes me want to follow it with 'mwoo-hah-hah-hahhhhh'? ' 'You were overexposed to Hammer Films as a child?' - Harry Dresden & Bob the Skull...
