The Best line in Animorphs

[Horsefan1023 (Seal)]

This thread has probably already been made, but...

Ax:  Yes Prince Jake.  Not a toy.  Toy!  Toytoytoytoytoytoyt oytoy!  Sorry.

[Chad32]

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.

[goom]

My name is [***].

[Uza-chan]

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?>

[Chad32]

Do you hate trash cans, Marco!? Is that it!? Do you just hate trash cans!?

[Uza-chan]

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.>

[AniJen]

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."

[Uza-chan]

<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.

[AniDragon]

"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."

I don't remember this part. What was it about?


Those are all good. Even the nonfunny one.

[Cloak]

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 . . .

[Chad32]

Oh yeah. Now I remember david acquired Marco and used his body to get around.

No, they don't.  Touching, funny, whatever you want.

Book 9 (I think)
Jake:  I swear, I wanted to kiss that Andalite.

[Chad32]

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.

[Cloak]

It was Six, actually.  If I'm not mistaken.
