“And just like you, I will die at some unknown date in the future. I just come equipped with a few extra powers. (Sebastian)I see. I’m a Toyota. You’re a Lamborghini.(Channon)”

“Hey, just be grateful I’m old. When an Arcadian first starts time-walking, we only have about a three percent chance of success. I once ended up on Pluto. (Sebastian)Are you serious? (Channon)They’re not kidding about it being the coldest planet. (Sebastian)”

“You told me there wouldn’t be any Rod Serling voice-overs, yet here I am in the middle of a Twilight Zone episode. Oh, and let me guess the title of it, Night of the Terminally Stupid! (Channon)”

“I can’t imagine a man so handsome without a line of willing women fighting behind him. (Channon)Looks aren’t all there is in this world, my lady. They are certainly no protection against being alone. Hearts never see through the eyes. (Sebastian)”

“I’m here because I know the sadness inside you. I know what it feels like to wake in the morning, lost and lonely and aching for someone to be there with me. (Sebastian)”

“Dragons have sharp talons. Sometimes I don’t get out of the way quickly enough. (Sebastian)Maybe you should fight smaller dragons. (Channon)”

“Well, I would turn into a dragon and fly you home, but something tells me you would protest. (Sebastian)No doubt. I imagine the scales would also chafe my skin. (Channon)True. Not to mention, I once learned the hard way that they really do call the military out on you. You know, fighter jets are hard to dodge when you have a forty-foot wingspan. (Sebastian)”

“You know, I keep having this really weird feeling that you’re going to take me someplace later and tie me up so that your friends can come laugh at me. (Channon)Does that happen to you often? (Sebastian)No, never, but this night has the makings for a Twilight Zone episode. (Channon)”

“So, how do you kill a dragon? (Channon)With a very sharp sword. (Sebastian)”

“Look, I promise I’m not psychotic. Eccentric and idiosyncratic, but not psychotic. (Sebastian)I’ll bet the prisons are full of men who have told women that. (Channon)”

“Why on earth would you want to talk to me? (Channon)My lady, do you not own a mirror? (Sebastian)Yes, but it’s not an enchanted one. (Channon)”

“I accept you as you are, and I will always hold you close in my heart. I will walk beside you forever. (Fang)”

“What’s this? (Fang)One for all and all for fun, my friend. You didn’t think I’d let you fight demons all on your own, did you? (Thorn)”

“Oh, gods, you’re mated! I really hope it’s to Aimee. (Bride)Thankfully so. Otherwise I’d have had to kill me some ho and then beat Fang senseless. (Aimee)”

“Man, quit hugging me. You are a perv. (Fang)You’re such an asshole. (Vane)Daddy said a bad word! (Trace)You tell him, pup. Keep your daddy straight. (Fang)”

“Oh, pooh, you’re just like akri. No, Simmi, don’t be breathing fire around the flammable objects or small children. Except for that black plastic card that’s not really plastic. It some metal thing, but the Simi loves it cause it let her buy everything she want without limit. He never say no to Simi when she use it. Oh, hello, there, Fang. You okay? You looking kind of peaked or piqued or…? Oh, heck, the Simi can never keep those straight. (Simi)”

“Stand back, akri-wolf! The Simi’s gonna huff and puff and melt that door down. And you might not want to be too close when I do it, ‘cause melted wolf is tough on the enamel and akra-Aimee might not like it if you turn into a puddle of bloody goo. Besides, burning wolf is kind of smelly to the Simi’s delicate nostrils. (Simi)”

“Sanctuary, home of the Howlers and stragglers of the Were universe. (Damien)”

“Cop a squat, animals and folks. I don’t want to be here any more than the rest of you so make it fast and get out of my hair. Let’s quickly run down the bullshit pedagogy. Hear ye…Who the hell wrote this crap?...Welcome to the Omegrion Chamber. Here we gather, one rep from each branch of the two patrias. We come in peace (he paused to snort derisively) to make peace. I’m your mediator, Savitar, and if you don’t know that by now, you need to be hit in the head with a jackhammer and replaced because you’re too stupid to represent your patria. But in case you’re dense and forgot, I am the summation of all that was and what will one day be again. I make order from chaos and chaos from order, which is how I got drafted into this shit. Now let’s get on with this before I start splitting your hairs. (Savitar)”

“Inside us all are pieces of that which makes the neagitve. Demons are neither good nor bad. Like you, they have many facets. It is that inner essence, or drive, if you will, that we all have that guides us through our lives. Sometimes those voices that drive us are whispered memories that live deep inside and cause us such pain that we have no choice except to let it out and to hurt those around us. But at other times, the voice is love and compassion, and it guides us to a gentler place. In the end, we, alone, must choose what path to walk. No one can help us with it. (Menyara)”

“Keep your shirt on," she said with a laugh at her bad joke. "Your clothes are at the laundry. They'lldeliver them as soon as they're ready.""And in the meantime?""Looks like you're naked."His jaw worked as if he couldn't believe what he was hearing. "I beg your pardon?""Beg all you want, you're still going to be naked." Tabitha paused at the wicked image in her mind."Come to think of it, a gorgeous, begging, naked man… that's the stuff of fantasies. Begging won't getyou your clothes, but it could get you something else." She wiggled her eyebrows at him.”

“I know I’m Charonte and we defer to our females, but you have to respect the fact that I’m Charonte and we protect our females to the end. You be my female. I be protecting. (Xedrix)”

“And she was just leaving. (Xedrix)Not yet, I’m not. (Aimee)Yes, you are. Adios. There’s the door. Doorknob twists to the left. The hinges open in. You should use them. Keep them working. Keep you breathing. (Xedrix)”

“Forgotten history. You, however, are my present. (Varyk)Oh, goody. Do I have to wear a bow? (Fang)”

“I love you, don’t I? And the gods know you are definitely not easy to deal with. (Aimee)Thanks, Aim. By the way I still have a tiny bit of confidence left. Please make sure you stomp on it too while you’re at it. Gods forbid it should actually grow into something called self-esteem. (Fang)”

“But it’s like Cherise says, the hardest ones to love are always the ones who need it most. (Aimee)”

“Watch your back, wolf. There’s a pall over this place and the bears are racking up enemies faster than Wal-Mart rakes in sales. When the time comes, it’s going to get bloody. (Thorn)I wouldn’t have it any other way. (Fang)Don’t be so arrogant. Long before I was the debonair sophisticate standing in front of you, I was a warlord. I put more blood on my blade than Madame la Guillotine. The one thing all that battle taught me is that no one walks away without scars. No one. (Thorn)”

“I see time away hasn’t made you any more charming. (Fang)Oh, I can be charming. I just choose not to. People start to think you like them, then when you stab them in the back, they take it so personally. Really pisses me off. (Thorn)”

“You hurt any of us or those we love again and so help me, I won’t stop until I’ve pulled you into so many pieces, you’ll think you’ve been through a grinder. (Fang)”

“And in your world, Captain Scary, that would mean? (Fang)You hit him three times and then you stop. It’s in English. Hell, it’s in –your- English. You were born then! (Thorn)That was my third hit. (Fang)I have a tumor. I know I have a tumor. I just wish I were mortal so that it could kill me. (Thorn)”

“Tell me again how great you are, asshole. Nothing like a steel enema to ruin even your best day. (Fang)”

“And if I die? (Fang)I’ll know and I won’t be happy. Remember, wolf, I’m one of the few beings who can follow you into the afterworld and seriously fuck you up there. Don’t fail me. (Thorn)”

“This is your sword. You press the pointy end into the enemy. Try not to let him make eye contact with you and remember, he spits invisible poison. (Thorn)”

“I should probably warn you that I’m not real big on fairness and I have a below-zero tolerance on most things. Do your job. Do it right and we won’t have any problems. Fuck up and I’ll most likely kill you. Fuck up bad enough and I’ll torture you first. (Thorn)”

“I can tell we’re going to get along like Batman and the Joker. (Fang)Just remember one thing, world. I’m the best friend you’ll ever have or the last enemy you’ll ever make. (Thorn)”

“You seriously lack people skills. (Fang)And I flunked anger management the moment I put the counselor through a stone wall. (Thorn)”

“Bitch going to rue the day she decided to unleash Phrixis on the world. (Thorn)Rue the day? (Fang)I’m old enough to make you look like an embryo. Sometimes it shows. (Thorn)”

“A what? (Fang)Badass demon with a superiority complex who picks his teeth with bones of infants. Let’s just keep it simple and say he’s a demon I want out of the human realm. ASAP. (Thorn)”

“It looks like a typical voodoo sacrifice. (Fang)Well, slap my ass and call me Sally if you’re not bright. (Thorn)”

“What do you want exactly? (Fang)An end to the mistreatment of small, fluffy dust bunnies. (Thorn)”

“Are you out of your fucking mind? I just got back and I can barely stand on my own. What do you want me to do? Bleed on them? (Fang)”

“Can you stand? (Aimee)I’m not helpless. (Fang)Oh, look! Mr. Macho is back in all his glory. Hello, Mr. Macho, it’s so not good to see you again. But you know, Mr. Macho, that you’ve been bedridden to the point that your legs aren’t used to carrying your weight and you’re not really human. So if you want to get up and fall, gods forbid I do anything to stop it. After all, I live for America’s Funniest Home Videos. Should I fetch a camcorder now? (Aimee)”

“I have more important things to do anyway. I have a hangnail that needs my attention. (Dev)”

“You risked the cub? (Dev)He’s not just a cub. (Aimee)You’re right. He’s the passenger who fell off the short bus. (Dev)”

“What does this Daimon look like? (Xedrix)He’s tall and blond. (Kyle)Well, that narrows it down to every Daimon here except Stryker. What would that be? Several thousand of them? Could you be a bit more specific and if you tell me he was dressed in black, I’ll kill you myself and spare me the agony of dying. (Xedrix)”

“You’re a demon. I thought your motto was ‘spoils to the victor.' (Aimee)No, our motto is ‘everything tastes better with hot sauce.' (Xedrix)”

“Where I am always thou art. Thy image lives within my heart.”

“Shut up, already. Just once, could I get a demon with no vocal cords? (Anonymous)At least they’re not puking on us this time. (Wynter)Small favor that. (Anonymous)”

“What was that action? (Aimee)Chuck Norris meets Jet Li. (Dev)”

“Oh. Sorry about the muzzle. But it was necessary to protect you from your own stupidity. (Thorn)”
