This thread has probably already been made, but...
Ax: Yes Prince Jake. Not a toy. Toy! Toytoytoytoytoytoyt oytoy! Sorry.
-
Memorable lines?
Until then, we fight.
No chime cleft!
This is insane.
Let's do it.
Globules! Globules!
I will call you the Prince formerly known as Jake.
-
My name is [***].
-
How about best lines?
From Book 28
Ax: "Please make every effort not to drop me!"
<What do we do? Don't they ever send bulls to the slaughterhouse?>
"Yeah. They do, so maybe if we get there we're okay. But how do we get
past these guys in the truck? They'll call in to be sure they're
supposed to carry bulls. They'll be mad because bulls are dangerous.
They'll realize something is wrong. Ear tag or no ear tag."
<We've gone to too much trouble,> Prince Jake said bitterly. <l don't
just want to give up.>
For a long moment no one moved, and no one said anything. Then Prince
Jake said something that even I found frightening.
<Marco? Think you can drive their truck?>
-
Do you hate trash cans, Marco!? Is that it!? Do you just hate trash cans!?
-
We all yelled helpful advice.
<Hold your breath!>
<Gee, really?! Do you think?! Hold my breath?!> Tobias managed to respond.
<He must be okay,> I said. <He's still capable of being sarcastic.>
<Let go!> Ax advised.
<Why didn't I think of that?> Tobias answered. <Ahhhh!>
<Start acquiring him!> Rachel said. <lt will put him in a trance.>
<l am acquiring him,> Tobias said. <Guess what? He's not in a trance.
Ahhhhh!>
<Well, as long as the dolphin is okay,> Tobias said. <Because I really,
really hope the dolphin is okay.>
<Are you going to be sarcastic the rest of the day?> I asked him.
<Yes. I am going to be sarcastic the rest of the day. I nearly drowned.
Now I'm going to go
become the thing that nearly drowned me. I will be sarcastic until
further notice.>
-
Rachel: Marco, you know you're a toad?"
Marco: Kiss me and I'll become a prince. I'll be The Prince Formally Known as Toad. You know you want me. You can't help it. After all, you're a female and I'm... well, I'm me."
Rachel: "Yeah, that's the real Marco."
Cassie: "Believe me, we all did the same kind of thing. I asked him to tell me what it was like when we morphed trout. Just to test his memory."
Marco: "And I answered that it wasn't bad except that the cracker-crumb coating chafed a little and I was allergic to tartar sauce. Now can you all stop playing that game? I'm afraid I'll miss a punch line and Rachel will morph to grizzly and eat me before I have a chance to say anything."
-
<You know,> I said thoughtfully, <that could be a regular act at The
Gardens. Hawk and dolphin. Kind of a dolphin rodeo, if you really think
about it.>
<Hey, Marco? You need to remember that you're just a lowly seagull right
now, which is practically a pigeon, and I'm a hawk,> Tobias said. <You
want to keep grinding my nerves, I'll be glad to show you the difference
when it comes to aerial combat.>
<Dolphin rodeo. I'm just saying it has possibilities>
"Let's get fishical, fishical," I sang.
Rachel groaned. "Olivia Newton-John? Have you been listening to
dinosaur-rock radio again?"
"How about you? You actually know who sang that song."
Do they all have to be funny?
<Who is this?> demanded the Andalite officer
on the other end. <Who is initiating this contact?>
It was surreal! This voice . . . these words . .
Our link to another world!
Jake signaled Ax to answer.
But Ax shook his head.
<No. I believe this is your moment.>
Jake glanced at each of us, ran his hand
through his hair.
"This is . . ." He cleared his throat. He glanced
back at Ax and smiled. Then he leaned in close
to the device.
"This is Earth," he said.
-
"Hey! Hey! Lockofa!"
He opened his eyes and favored me with his usual disaproving scowl. "What now?"
"I made it. I'm nonessential!"
"As nonessential as it is possible to be," he said dryly.
From The Ellimist Chronicles.
-
Rachel: Marco, you know you're a toad?"
Marco: Kiss me and I'll become a prince. I'll be The Prince Formally Known as Toad. You know you want me. You can't help it. After all, you're a female and I'm... well, I'm me."
Rachel: "Yeah, that's the real Marco."
Cassie: "Believe me, we all did the same kind of thing. I asked him to tell me what it was like when we morphed trout. Just to test his memory."
Marco: "And I answered that it wasn't bad except that the cracker-crumb coating chafed a little and I was allergic to tartar sauce. Now can you all stop playing that game? I'm afraid I'll miss a punch line and Rachel will morph to grizzly and eat me before I have a chance to say anything."
I don't remember this part. What was it about?
Those are all good. Even the nonfunny one.
-
I think that the Animorphs were making sure that Marco was Marco, because this was right after David had impersonated him briefly and hit Ax, in harrier morph, with a baseball bat.
But I could be wrong . . .
-
Oh yeah. Now I remember david acquired Marco and used his body to get around.
-
<You know,> I said thoughtfully, <that could be a regular act at The
Gardens. Hawk and dolphin. Kind of a dolphin rodeo, if you really think
about it.>
<Hey, Marco? You need to remember that you're just a lowly seagull right

to the device.
"This is Earth," he said.
No, they don't. Touching, funny, whatever you want.
Book 9 (I think)
Jake: I swear, I wanted to kiss that Andalite.
-
Book 9 was a Cassie narrated book, so no. I don't know what book it was in, though. Maybe that's where the Jake/Ax shipping came from.
-
It was Six, actually. If I'm not mistaken.
-
It was the one where Jake was a controller. I'm not sure which one that was.
-
Now I remember. Jake was so happy because Ax was suspicious, where the others weren't. If it wasn't for Ax, the resistance would be over. Cassie was suspicious, but she would have let jake go. The others didn't seem too concerned, since he was saying he's fine.
-
Yes, that one! I'm 99% sure it's 6.
-
I'm totally sure it's 6 now. I'd be very surprised if it wasn't.
-
back to great lines!
Marco: Don't say the word cage around Tobias. He'll preform some Ninja-SWAT-team-hawk-from-h*** attack on the center. And he'll talk Rachel into stomping your house flat.
-
Book 34
Marco: "Yeah, the Yeerks have these cute little things
called weapons."
"Okay, there's that girl, Holly Perry, you
know, she transferred from Polk?" Marco said
from his seat on one of the big bales of hay in my
barn. "I want my Chee to ask her out for me. I
tried a couple of times, but this thing happened
with my voice."
"He started clucking like the chicken he is,"
Rachel commented.
"Holly Perry. No problem," Erek the Chee told
Marco. "It's not like we have anything else to do
but work on your love life. Yeah, the Chee who
plays you will also hold down his regular full-time
job as a restaurant manager, but hey, your love
life comes first."
Marco nodded. "Good. As long as we have our
priorities clear."
And:
"If we're not back before the date, my Chee
should just go out with her and make sure she
really has fun," Marco continued.
"Do you think that's a good idea?" Rachel
asked. "Won't Holly be disappointed when she
goes out with the real you?"
-
Nice one.
Tobias: That was before. Before the Andalite. Before he died trying to save us. I can't let that go. I can't let him die for nothing. So whatever you guys decide, I'm going to fight.
I thought that one was touching.
-
'My name is ...', 'Let's do it!', 'Are you insane?!', 'Don't call me Prince!', are definitely memmorable lines from the series.
'Tick-tcok Tick-tock' was also said quite a few times.
I'd like to post here a line extracted from The Departure. It wasn't verbalized, it was more of a statement that marked me the instant I read it.
'Life is sacred. Even the life of an Enemy.'
-
Oh, I'm forgetting one. One BIG HUGE HUGE one.
Jake: Full power to emergency engines. Ram the Blade ship. :o
-
Tobias: Be happy for me, and for all who fly free.
The end of three.
-
This one is too memorable for me. Waaaay too memorable.
"Hello?"
I turned around. It was an older human.
Marco had warned me to say nothing to his father
"No," I said to Marco's father.
"I'm Marco's dad. Are you a friend of his?"
"Yes."
"What's your name?"
"No," I answered.
"Your name is 'No'?"
"Yes."
"That's an unusual name, isn't it?"
"No."
"It's not?"
"Yes."
"Yes, it's not an unusual name?"
"No."
"Now I'm totally confused."
"Yes."
Marco's father stared at me. Then, in a loud voice he yelled, "Hey, Marco? Marco? Would
you ... um ... your friend is here. Your friend 'No' is here."
"No," I said.
"Yes, that's what I said."
Marco came running down the stairs. "Whoa!" he cried. "Um, Dad! You met my friend?"
"No?" Marco's father said.
"What?" Marco asked.
Marco's father shook his head. "I must be getting old. I don't understand you kids."
"Yes," I offered.
After that, we went to the bookstore.
Marco looked at me. "How do you grovel? I've never groveled before."
I shrugged.
<Grovel!>
"We don't know how," I told the closest Helmacron. "I mean, you know,
different folks, different customs. Maybe you could show us."
They looked at one another. Then the one I'd spoken to said, <You may
grovel in the style of your own people. Grovel as you normally grovel.>
I saw the sly gleam in Marco's eye. "You heard the man, Cassie. Let's
grovel."
He scooted his legs forward, lay on his back, stuck his hands behind his
head, and relaxed like he was at the beach soaking up sun.
"I grovel before the mighty Helmacron captain, most mighty of the
mighty, undisputed champion of the world in the dust-weight category! We
grovel like the pitiful losers we are! We grovel like a guy who hasn't
got a date the day before the prom and the only girl around is the head
cheerleader, that's how much we grovel. Cassie, you could join in any
time, you know."
"We grovel . . . um, like grovelers."
Marco turned his head to shoot me a disdainful look. "Oh, good
groveling. Put some feeling into it."
"I grovel like, uh . . . like a person who is really, really groveling,"
-
Yeah I remember those parts. The groveling part was one of the best in the first Helmacron books.
-
Marco: Don't say the word cage around Tobias. He'll preform some Ninja-SWAT-team-hawk-from-h*** attack on the center. And he'll talk Rachel into stomping your house flat.
"Hell"? We can't say "hell?" Hell, even Scholastic let KA say "hell?"
-
Apparently we can't use the word "slut" either. It was marked out of an RPG intro I did.
-
It's kind of weird, I know, but I have this, um, no swearing policy. You can, but I don't. :-[
-
"I am ready," I said, making mouth sounds. "R-r-r-ready. Red. E. Red. E."
"How about putting on a shirt?" Marco asked.
"The men who are young and restless do not wear shirts. I am young. And
I am occasionally restless."
"Ax?"
"Yes, Marco?"
"Put on a shirt."
This was a good one to me. Not the best, but funny nonetheless...
-
And let's not forget-
<There are always These Messages,> I pointed out.
"These what?"
<The shorter shows that are displayed between longer shows. These
Messages. They are often my favourites. "Zestfully clean! Zestfully
clean! You're not fully clean unless you're Zestfully clean!" So much
information condensed into so brief a format. So much emotional intensity.>
"You're starting to scare me, Ax."
Sorry, I'm reading #28 The Experiment. Ax cracks me up. It's like watching Family Guy; it's funny cuz it's true. Applegate uses Ax to make fun of humans things in sort of the same way.
-
Ax > Family Guy.
-
In my opinion most of ax's 'humor' was pure amazing. Are these lines supposed to be funny or meaningful?
-
They can be both.
Cassie in book 4
They were asking me to play. So I did.
-
Book 16: Jake's perspective
<Tobias, where are you?>
<Well . . . it's smooth. Um, it was different when I first landed here.
It was smooth and white. Wet, though. There's dampness on the surface.
And I think there's a big lake or something below me.>
<Are you right side up or what?>
<l'm sideways. I'm sideways on a smooth, damp surface I think was white.
And there's a big lake below me.>
We all considered that description for a moment.
<0h, man!> Marco yelled. <Tobias, you're in a toilet!>
<Tobias, get out of there before someone flushes,> I said, stifling the
urge to laugh.
<I'm . . . remember how I said it was different when I first landed
here? It was light. Now it's dark.>
We all considered this new information for a moment.
<Uh, guh-ROSS!> Marco said, half-laughing, half-scared.
<Tobias, I think the reason it got dark is that someone sat down.>
<Wait. You're saying I'm in a toilet bowl. And someone sat down. But
then ... oh, man.>
<Caution: falling objects,> Marco said.
<What does all this mean?> Ax wondered.
-
lol and then Marco says he'll explain Ax when he gets older, lol i was laughing a lot as i read that part.
-
That is a good one!
-
Jake: Full power to emergency engines. Ram the Blade ship. :o
[spoiler]wouldn't been a much better line had it not been the LAST one..
i hate eternal cliffhangers.. :([/spoiler]
i really like the last part of book #1.
[spoiler]<They'll come,> Tobias said. <The Andalites will come. And until then . . . >
I nodded and wiped away my tears. "Yeah," I said. "Until then, we fight.[/spoiler]
-
I agree to first spoiler, and I like the second.
Ax:
One bun? One tray?
You can't blame me for not understanding.
-
Oh, I remember that one. Funny stuff.
<You're kidding. His name is Jeremy?>
<Hey Ax-man. Did that scare you peeless too, or does that stuff not bother you andalites?>
<I am as peeless as you, Tobias my friend.>
<Do you see any Yeerk in there?>
<No, I do not.>
-
What was that from?
-
#13
Jara has just opened his skull to prove he's not a controller.
-
Animorphs #54 (Marco):
<Who exactly are you?> Asculan asked Jake.
I jerked a thumb at my friend. "This is Jake.
Jake Berenson. President of Earth."
-
<So many species on this planet,> he said to himself. <So many balances and connections.
Everything preying on everything else. Every power is checked by some other power. Every ad
vantage is canceled by some disadvantage.>
<Yeah. Earth. It's a tough neighborhood.>
<When we take this planet, we will eliminate these species. We will simplify. Things should be
simpler. Yes, much simpler.>
<I have a news flash for you, Yeerk. I don't think you're going to take this planet. I think this
planet is going to take you.>
Gotta love that Jake bravado :)
-
<You are fools,> the Yeerk said, having read my thoughts. <It is madness to fight when you
cannot win.>
<Yes, it is foolish. It is crazy,> I agreed. <And it's why we will win.>
Another good one from Jake
-
Yeah, Jake does have some good ones up his sleeve.
Someone might have said this, but...
Jake: Is that it Marco?! Do you just hate trash cans!?
-
<You are fools,> the Yeerk said, having read my thoughts. <It is madness to fight when you
cannot win.>
<Yes, it is foolish. It is crazy,> I agreed. <And it's why we will win.>
Another good one from Jake
One of my fav scenes. :)
-
This is a bit long, It's the scene where Ax Marco and Tobias are in the 7-11 trying to acquire Champ in book 49. I'm surprised no one has posted it yet. Sorry for the weird format, it's a copy pasta from somewhere else.
"Ah." Ax nodded. "She does not understand how menacing we are." He tapped her on the
shoulder. "You do not know me," he said, "but I am a juvenile delinquent. I do not trust authority figures, I probably will not graduate from high school, and statistics say my present rowdiness
and vandalism will likely lead to more serious crimes. I am a dangerous fellow, and I am causing mayhem in this store." He reached behind her and pulled three jars of baby food from the top shelf. Shoved them behind a box of macaroni. Shuffled the Cheez Whiz in front of the Marshmallow Fluff. Tossed a bag
of lady's shavers onto a bag of hamburger buns. "There. I have now shamelessly destroyed the symmetry of this shelf, undoing hours of labor by underpaid store employees. If you could see me, you would be frightened."
-
Welcome to RAF, EvilPinkDragon, but I'd advise you to introduce yourself properly in the introductions section.
-
Aw, no need to sound threatening, Cloaky.
Welcome aboard, Dragon.
All aboaaaard! Hahahahah!
Ay .. ay .. ay .. ay...

I can't believe that hadn't been posted before! I love that scene! ;D
-
I meant that without hostility, wild.
-
I only read the book that's in once, so I forgot that scene. The epitome of Ax trying and failing to understand a situation.
-
Marco:
A car slammed on its brakes and missed me by a couple of feet. A couple of feet! I mean if the driver had been one millisecond slower to hit the brakes, I'd have to be roadkill. But my complete dog-brian reaction to that near-death experience was "Cool I smell something!"
I'm totally serious. The fact hat I smelled some other dog's pee on the curb was about ten-thousand times more interesting to my dog brain than the squealing car was.
Best paragraph ever and I copied it word for word out of my book
-
lol very good ones ^^ *can't stop laughing*
I also like when Ax try to... pilot a Yeerk spaceship ^^' It's a little like Marco and cars/trucks.
Animorphs #45 (Marco):
The sudden sound of compressed air being released . . .
"Ax?"
Whoooossshhhhhh!
"Aaaaaax!"
My head was thrown back. My body slammed against four other bodies on the cabin's back wall. A hawk screeched nervously as momentum plastered his bony body to the ceiling.
<l have control of the ship,> Ax said loudly.
<Please remain calm. I think the ****pit was modified for a mutant Taxxon, a Taxxon with twice the normal number of appendages.>
[...]
Ax flipped two switches over his head, then pressed a red button. There was the sound of a fan. Warm air rushed out from under the seats that lined the sidewalls. Ax's stalk eyes swung around, puzzled.
"Much better, Ax," Rachel said impatiently.
"You have the makings of a great heating-and cooling engineer."
"Maybe we should read the owner's manual?" Cassie.
[...]
I moved to the front of the ship to get a better view. Silly of me. If I'd waited a half-second longer, I wouldn't have had to walk.
The ship pitched forward and angled down toward the earth. Before we could yell, the six of us were trapped in a pile-on.
<You should always wear the safety restraints,> Ax scolded, struggling futilely to get four humans and an angry bird off him.
[...]
"Won't that kill us?"
<At these velocities, death is always a possibility.>
Great. Killed by autopilot. Totally humiliating death.
And some things are so hard to say, sometimes:
< I . . . > Ax hesitated, began to pace, then spoke again. <This human-made device is, seemingly at least, equal to or even superior. . .> I swear he was trying to stop himself from choking on the words. <. . .superior to Yeerk technology.>
Animorphs #47 (Jake):
"What solar system are you from? Are you with the Federation? Is your ship in orbit or on land?"
Unbelievable. I almost laughed.
"Uh," I said, "we're from Earth, just like you."
"Ah, yes," Richard said. "I always knew you lived among us. I have friends who've seen your ships."
"We don't have any ships," Tobias said.
[...]
Lewis grinned. "So, like, what's your natural form?"
"We're just normal kids with a special power," Tobias said carefully. "We're not aliens."
"If you don't want us to call you aliens, we won't call you aliens," Richard said with a wink.
Megamorphs #1 (Marco):
I was a four-hundred-pound gorilla who had just decided to go skydiving without a parachute.
<Aaaaaaaahhhhhh!>
<Marco, why are you screaming? It hurts my head.>
<We're gonna die, you alien lunatic!>
<No, we won't die. Don't be foolish,> Ax said.
<Maybe you won't. You're a flea! You'll bounce. I'll hit the ground like rock!>
<Marco, morph into a bird.>
<Oh. Duh,> I said, feeling a little foolish. <Is there time?>
<I don't know. Maybe we should hurry,> Ax said in his annoyingly calm Andalite way.
Animorphs #18:
Marco:
"That's what's strange: the word "yanked." Us turning into mosquitoes to suck some guy's blood so we could morph into him and instead ending up in the middle of some war to control psychic yellow frogs, and oh, by the way, blowing up a small continent full of Yeerks, saving an entire species, then getting back here to find out Coma-man woke up from a mosquito bite delivered by a morphed alien-slash-deer-slash-scorpion-slash-four-eyed centaur, that's all totally normal. That's just an average day. Dear Diary: another boring average day, till someone said "yanked.""
-
Rachel: Marco, you know you're a toad?"
Marco: Kiss me and I'll become a prince. I'll be The Prince Formally Known as Toad. You know you want me. You can't help it. After all, you're a female and I'm... well, I'm me."
Rachel: "Yeah, that's the real Marco."
Cassie: "Believe me, we all did the same kind of thing. I asked him to tell me what it was like when we morphed trout. Just to test his memory."
Marco: "And I answered that it wasn't bad except that the cracker-crumb coating chafed a little and I was allergic to tartar sauce. Now can you all stop playing that game? I'm afraid I'll miss a punch line and Rachel will morph to grizzly and eat me before I have a chance to say anything."
I don't remember this part. What was it about?
Those are all good. Even the nonfunny one.
Hey, which book is this from?
-

It's from book 22.
-
I never thought the thread would be so popular! ;D
This one creeped me out a little
Tobias: Sky!
The hawk flew fast and straight.
I let it go. I surrendered.
Tobias, a boy whose face I could no longer remember, no longer existed.
-
Those were all great, Dameg! Ax and Marco are always funny.
-
"It's Cassie," I said. "Emerging from the chrysalis."
Ax looked puzzled. "But this is not at all the body she had."
"No, that's what happens," Marco explained. "The caterpillar becomes the
butterfly."
Suddenly, the butterfly simply took off. It fluttered away, off across
the flowers, like it was shopping for just the right one.
"Naturally-occurring morphing?" Ax asked quizzically. "You didn't tell me."
"I guess it is natural morphing," I said. "And I guess it's better to
live your life as a butterfly than as a caterpillar."
"Would Cassie prefer being this creature to being human again?" Ax
asked. "Creee-cher. Cuh-ree-ture."
Rachel sighed. "No, Ax, of course not. We're just saying that this is
better than her only other choice. Better to be a butterfly than a
caterpillar."
"Ah. I see," Ax said. "But maybe she would like to demorph now."
"I'm sure she would," Marco said grimly.
"Then she should," Ax said.
Slowly, one by one, we all turned our eyes to stare at him. Rachel did a
little more. She jumped up, grabbed him by the collar and said, "Are you
jerking my chain, or do you have something to say?"
Ax seemed a little surprised, to put it mildly. But he said, "Oh, I see.
You didn't realize. Zuh. Re-uh-liiii-zuh. A very complicated word,
'realize.' And the 'z' sound makes my human mouth-parts tickle."
"Ax! Are you saying Cassie can morph?!" I demanded.
"I believe so," he said. "This naturally-occurring morph should reset
the morphing clock. She has two hours to demorph."
"GET! THAT! BUTTERFLY!" I yelled.
-
From book 12, Rachel ;D
<Is it Jeremy Jason?> Cassie asked excitedly.
<Has to be,> I said.
<Does he have brownish-blond hair and really big blue eyes?>
<And full lips?> I added. <Like Brad Pitt
<Gag! Barf!> Marco, of course.
<The hair and eyes are correct, > Ax said. <l can't evaluate the lips,
though. How large would lips have to be in order to be Brad Pitt lips?>
<In that Montana movie Brad Pitt's lips filled the entire screen, >
Marco said. <In fact, I heard some people were crushed to death by Brad
Pitt's
<Bet they're fake,> Jake muttered. <You know how they inject, like, butt
fat into lips to make them all puffy?>
<It's so sad to hear so much jealousy, don't you agree, Cassie?>
<It is sad, Rachel. Terribly sad.>
<This is the worst mission we've ever been on,> Marco said. <l mean,
I've been scared before. Hey, I've been horrified, screaming,
wanting-to-wet-myself terrified before. I'm used to that. But this is
the first time I've wanted to just throw up. Rachel, I didn't think you
were even capable of normal human affection, let alone pathetic hero
worship.>
<Say it, brother!> Jake agreed. I think he was kidding. But I couldn't
be sure.
<And Cassie!> Marco went on. <l thought you only cared about animals.
Animals like skunks and snakes . . . and Jake. Hee-hee!>
<Okay, let's get back to business now,> Jake said quickly.
Jake gets embarrassed any time anyone mentions his feelings for Cassie.
-
That one was funny.
-
I always loved Marco's: I'm the devil may care comedian. At least thats what I find it useful for people to think.
Or something along those lines. Its perfect summation of Marco.

This is a bit long, It's the scene where Ax Marco and Tobias are in the 7-11 trying to acquire Champ in book 49. I'm surprised no one has posted it yet. Sorry for the weird format, it's a copy pasta from somewhere else.
"Ah." Ax nodded. "She does not understand how menacing we are." He tapped her on the
shoulder. "You do not know me," he said, "but I am a juvenile delinquent. I do not trust authority figures, I probably will not graduate from high school, and statistics say my present rowdiness
and vandalism will likely lead to more serious crimes. I am a dangerous fellow, and I am causing mayhem in this store." He reached behind her and pulled three jars of baby food from the top shelf. Shoved them behind a box of macaroni. Shuffled the Cheez Whiz in front of the Marshmallow Fluff. Tossed a bag
of lady's shavers onto a bag of hamburger buns. "There. I have now shamelessly destroyed the symmetry of this shelf, undoing hours of labor by underpaid store employees. If you could see me, you would be frightened."
I can't believe that hadn't been posted before! I love that scene! ;D
ax is an amazing character. the series wouldn't have done nearly so well without him.
-
Yeah, I also love Marco and Ax ^^
Nohensen, this part is one of my favorite!
-
BEST. SCENE. EVER.
The trashcan scene still makes me howl with laughter, though, until people look at me strangely...
...or rather, MORE strangely....
-
That happens. I always get bugged that my friends don't understand RAF jokes. You can't explain RAF to an outsider.
-
<Now, this is an interesting human concept,> Ax said approvingly. <This
hologram makes it almost appear that we are under the water.>
"Ax? It's not a hologram," Rachel said.
<Then ... we are underwater? Protected only by badly made human plastic?>
"Yeah."
<Why do you humans do things like this?>
Then...
"Jake," I whispered. "This is bad. We need something drastic."
"I'm open to suggestions," he muttered.
"Okay. I suggest you take a deep breath."
"Oh, no. Oh, man."
"Yeah," I agreed. "Everyone take a deep breath. Ax-man? Just how badly
made is human plastic?"
Just one of those moments I liked :)
-
I remember that. Quite funny.
-
We returned to base so that Menderash could
explain. My heart was pounding. My pulse was racing.
I was a little embarrassed by my response,
but this was Ax, one of us.
One of mine.
That was from Jake, and that last part really hit me for some reason.
After 5 years of basically saying things like "I guess I'm sort of the unofficial leader......" and "I'm the leader because Tobias said so....", he then says something like "One of mine". That was a very leader-ish thing to say.
-
True. I didn't remember that one.
Here's one!
Ax: Bunz-uhh! Bunz-uhh!
-
Does it have to be from the books?
Marco: Why? Why, Jake? We're kids, man! We're supposed to have fun, to goof off. I want to go back to the way it was. To normal problems like zits, I want zits! ... Well, not really, but you know.
-
"It is I, Aximili. You are
having a reaction to mouth-pleasures. It will be
fine. Come with us and be quiet."
-
That's a response to Estrid eating jellybeans, isn't it?
-
You got it ;D
-
That scene was awesome.
-
lol ya. I think there maybe a need for groups on the Andalite Homeworld to deal with addictions to human morphs and cinnabuns. ;)
-
Ax: <My name is Ax.>
Group resonse: <Hi, Ax!>
Ax: <And I'm . . . a Cinnabonaholic.>
-
Ax: <My name is Ax.>
Group resonse: <Hi, Ax!>
Ax: <And I'm . . . a Cinnabonaholic.>
That was funny, but I think it's supposed to be actual lines. Things they actually did say.
-
Yeah...But they can be from fanfics too.
-
That was from a fanfic? Awesome.
-
No, it was a joke! It was intended to be a joke!
-
That was from a fanfic? Awesome.
No, It wasn't from a fanfic. I was just saying if you had one from a fanfic you can post it.
And Cloaky, I know.
-
I had a really good day yesterday so I had a Cinnabon in celebration of all things Ax.
-
Ha. I just played eye of the tiger on Rock Band and kept thinking it's Jake's eye.

Book 20:
<Tobias!> Rachel cried.
<I'm ok,> Tobias said. <Professor Plum did it in the conservatory with the candlestick!>
Tobias was alive. But he must have hit fairly hard. He seemed to be reliving a game of Clue. ((Isn't it cluedo?))
....
<Miss Scarlet? Was it Miss Scarlet with the plum in the professor?> Tobias wondered.
....
From far off I heard, <Actually Miss Scarlet, I think you should have used the wrench.>
....
A hawk rose up to join us.
<Tobias?>
<Yeah. Man, that was a bad bump I took. I was having this weird dream. I was trapped in the conservatory with Professor Plum. So, how'd everything go?>
-
Well, I'm impressed by your necrobump skills. Six year old thread and you found it!
-
I have a lot of spare time :)
-
So this thread suddenly in unread posts!
-
Talking about lines, as a gamer I liked what Crayak said in the end of Ellimist chronicles:
There must be a game. If there is no game there is nothing for me.
-
I just wanted to follow the thread tbh that's why I posted
-
Marco: Just tell them we're Animorphs
[Not sure who says this]: Tell them we're what?
Marco: Idiot teenagers with a death wish.
-
Rachel says it.

Rachel says it.
Ah, yes. Thought so :P thanks

Visser Three (talking about the Helmacrons to the Animorphs): <I don't know about you, Andalites, but these creatures are really, really, REALLY annoying me.>
-
The conversation in Visser where V1 and Essam think that Star Trek is real for like half a page. I'm too lazy to transcribe the book or find a pdf. Somebody else have it?

I have the book... On paper

So do I. Hardcover.

Cooool! I don't have the hardcover editions ???? I got them over time from 2010-2012
-
My aunt buys me books all the time. During the height of my Animorphs obsession (2013-14), she managed to get me an Animorphs set on eBay or Gumtree or something only missing a few main series ones, all chronicles except Visser (I had TAC beforehand) and every book after #47, plus an extra #18. I lost #8 somewhere, which pissed me off greatly because it was my fave.
-
I feel like eBay is where most people get the. These days, my dad bought like 60% of my set from EBay. Now I'm only missing visser and the ellimist chronicles.
Also this is completely off topic.

I had vague idea of which book this incident happened, and it took just maybe 15 minutes to find the correct page:(in spoilers just to not spoil fun of looking for it or so)
[spoiler]
Visser [Chronicle], pages 64 - 65:
And in other data they were shown using highly effective, adjustable-intensity beam weapons they called "phasers". "Faster-than-light spacecraft? Faster-than-light through real space? Impossible!" Essam said, looking over my shoulder. "And armed with beam weapons?" "How do they manage to get visual records of ships moving at faster-than-light speeds? See, there! The ship is announced to be moving at Warp-Factor Six, which we know from context is a multiple of light speed. And yet there we see the ship from the outside, as though the recording device, too, is moving at these impossible speeds." "Not possible," Essam said, his voice rasping, his tongue dry. I had drunk the last of the water several hours earlier. "No. Faster-than-light travel is an impossibility. Not even the Andalites can do it! That is why we tunnel into Zero-space." I was puzzled. Confused. Was it possible... were the humans creating these images to frighten away potential enemies? Was that it? Was this all a complex bluff designed to intimidate potential conquerors? Then, it hit me in a flash of insight. "it's all lie, Essam. It's not real. These are created events! Simulations! The humans, they... they invent these events."[/spoiler]

I've never seen you around!
Also, thanks.

My favorite quote of the whole series:
Jara: "Story have no end. Stories go on." :')
-
TIL that emoticon exists.
-
Not my absolute favorite, but the best that I thought of off the top of my head:
[spoiler]The human was silent. No begging, no pleading for life. At the end, acceptance came even to this strong, turbulent spirit. "You said I could ask one more question."
"Yes."
"I can't ask if we win, I can't ask if it will all turn out okay."
"I don't know those answers."
"Okay, then answer this, Ellimist: Did I… did I make a difference? My life, and my . . . my death . . . was I worth it? Did my life really matter?"
"Yes. You were brave. You were strong. You were good. You mattered."
"Yeah. Okay, then. Okay, then."
A small strand of space-time went dark and coiled into nothingness.[/spoiler]

This thread has probably already been made, but...
Ax: Yes Prince Jake. Not a toy. Toy! Toytoytoytoytoytoyt oytoy! Sorry.
End of "The Secret" on page 158 of paperback: Cassie: Think maybe we should have told him (Visser 3) the truth? That its tomato juice, not grape juice that washes away skunk smell?

This one had me laughing for ages:
Captain Torreli was quoted in the newspaper as saying, "It was those kids! I am looking for three kids named Fox Mulder, Dana Scully, and Cindy Crawford."
The reporter wondered if perhaps Captain Torreli had been drinking.
