“Rule number 2 - don't listen to me!" Arriane laughed, "I'm certifiably insane!”

“Luce: But I thought you said I should stay away from the hard cases.Arriane: Rule number two — don't listen to me!”

“Checkmate, bitch. -Arriane”

“Soooo," Arriane said. "Now you've met Randy.""I thought his name was Cam.""We're not talking about him," Arriane said quickly. "I mean the she-man in there." Arriane jerked her head toward the office where they'd left the attendant in front of the TV. "Whaddya think-dude or chick?""Uh, chick?" Luce said tentativley. "Is this a test?"Arriane cracked a smile. "The first of many. And you passed. At least, I think you passed. The gender of most of the faculty here is an ongoing, schoolwiide debate. Don't worry, you'll get into it.”

“I'm sorry," Lucinda said,pressing her hands over her heart. "I don't know what came over me.I've never done anything like that..."Daniel wasn't going to argue with her now,though she'd slapped him so many times over the years that Arriane kept a tally in a little spiral notebook marked You're Fresh.”

“Daniel Grigori!" Arriane hooted through her hands."No!" Daniel hooted back without missing a beat.”

“Well, as much as I love kicking asses and taking names, it's way past curfew for you three"- Arriane”
