I find these pretty fun in stories. They can kind of give a whole new tone to a character. :)

"Just accept it."
"Give me the goods."
"Leave it at the door."
"Oh, balls!"

Lots of things are cliche. Doesn't mean they can't be good when they're used correctly.

Taking 'At Least They Haven't Got a Bazooka.'" Will work perfectly for Colby.
Leaving: "I can't handle any more trouble today. Trouble, you're not allowed in until tomorrow!" Bonus points if Trouble is a person...

sarahmfighter

Taking "Truth or happiness? Your choice." I love it. It's perfect for my villain's brother who happens to be a good guy.

"Truth or happiness? Your choice."'

"Um. Truth?"

"I'm Charlotte's older brother."

"NOOOOOOOO!" D: Oh noes face.

Haha. First situation I'll probably use it in.

Taking "Evil? I'm not evil. I'm a visionary." Fits my 2nd to last scene perfectly. Thank you.

I think I am taking "I forgive you." I like the possibilities for honesty as well as facetiousness.

mustardgirl

I love these! My novel has some time-traveling historical figures and I think they're going to need to have some of these. Napoleon gets, "Holy Cranberries!" and I think Catherine de Medici will say, "Oh, balls!" Love it!

I guess since I adopted I'll leave some too, I don't know how good these will be though! :D
"Not if you own a motorcycle."
