“Why do you tolerate it? (Kat)The same reason Sin hasn’t resigned himself to death. There are six billion people on earth who need someone to protect them from things that are scarier than the tax man or a knife-wielding stranger. Things that a gun won’t stop. As long as their lives hang in the balance, what’s a little humiliation for me? (Acheron)”

“There are thousands of them to fight. Even going after the Dimme in there is suicide. (Sin)Who wants to live forever? (Kat)For the record, I do. (Kish)Then why do you irritate me so often? (Sin)Suicidal tendencies are inherent in my species? (Kish)”

“Where are you anyway? (Acheron)I don't know. I hear some godawful kind of music from outside, horns blaring, and I'm in a house with a Mohawk cuckoo bird, a transvestite, and a knife-wielding lunatic. (Valerius)Why are you at Tabitha's? (Acheron)”

“So what do we need to do? (Kat)One: Don’t die. Two: Don’t get bitten. (Sin)And? (Kat)Kick their ass. (Sin)Good plan. Little vague on the details. (Kat)Isn't it, though? (Sin)”

“There is more than one kind of death? (Kat)Yes. Cowards aren’t the only ones who die a thousand deaths. Sometimes heroes do, too. (Sin)”

“Kat laughed. 'Who wants to live forever?'Kish put his hand up. 'For the record, I do.'Sin scowled at him. 'Then why do you irritate me so often?'Suicidal tendencies are inherent in my species?”

“Apollymi keeps a tight rein on them. (Kat)Death to the bitch-goddess! May she die in a flaming pit of Charonte spit! (Xirena)Damn, Kat, you can’t win for losing. Is there anyone, other than you, who actually likes your family? (Sin)”
