"That girl could talk both ears off of any given elephant and still have enough chatter to host a game show." I thought it was pretty funny and worth sharing. What are everyone else's favorite lines? |

(okay so its really two sentences I like it anyway...by the way she's talking about the walking signs at the intersections)
The white walking man stands directly in front of me yards away facing to my right. I want to tell him he’s walking in the wrong direction but I figure since he’s only a bunch of lights he wouldn’t understand me anyway

My favorite single line so far is one I came up with tonight.
"How many times do I have to tell you? Extortion first, pizza later."

Don't have a favorite line, but something funny I guess. My parents have long thought Hillary Clinton to be the anti-Christ and my story is a post apocalyptic one, and the apocalypse comes while she is the president. She is the harbinger of destruction.

So my book is about a serial killer who kills people dressed up like cereal spokespeople... a serial cereal killer if you will... My favorite line is in a scene I haven't yet written, but... I have to share.
Standing over the body of the Trix Rabbit, the man in black shook his head sadly.
----------"Silly rabbit," he said softly. "Trix really ARE for kids."

My main character is re-counting the childhood abuse she suffered and though a bit depresing my favorite line so far is
The tentacles of self-loathing were already snaking their way throughout my inner being, where over the years they would slowly strangle to death any shred of self worth I dared to have.

Hey,
I have never really introduce myself, I'm Luis. My alias is SwordBrujo. I love reading the Las Vegas comments. Anyway, this is my favorite line from my novel.
A female Asian character, from Hawaii ,playfully suggest to a African- American male a menage-a-trois with the male character's wife. He replies: "Mmm, Mmm, So its like that, huh." He pauses, shakes his head, and scans her sumptuous body. "Chocolate and Hawaiian pineapple, I can hardly wait.."
Please keep posting.

Ugh, makes me sad to go through my whole story and have lots of plot movement but very few lines I just love. Means I gotta work on quality AND quantity as I work! Oh well :) Here's what I have:
Scene's between two characters locked up in their house because there are some head-hunters after them both:
“I thought you might like some company," she said. "You’re pacing like an animal in a cage.”
“I am an animal in a cage, dear. Lost my fur in the war, but I still have my teeth.”

It isn't a favorite line, but more of why December should be hilarious.
I always reread the last line or two when I've stopped so that I can remember what I was writing about...and I ended up laughing hysterically. My character just finished having a conversation with her spirit animal thing, for a lack of a better term, and he left. I wrote:
"He spread his wings out and flew over my head, into the mountain"
Which now all I can imagine is this bird giving this sage advice and then splat! Right into the mountain, which makes me giggle.
Amazing what a missing word can do to the meaning of a sentence. :)

*laughs* nothing like a bird smacking into a mountain. I have several of those type of typos which turn out to be funny . Thank goodness in Dec we can start picking it all part.

Maybe that should have been the sign to go to sleep, because I just wrote:
"Amy was reflective, chewing at her lower hip"
I'm wondering how that would work, outside of if you were a cat and could toss your leg over your head.
