Sentences you'll never forget

[Ameli]

I think it's from #34, when the Arn guy calls upon Aldrea's ixcila.

Yeah you're right!!

*nods and high fives* Good call, Liz ^_^

"We don't have to go through with that," Rachel said.

<Yes, we do,> I said. <More than ever, I understand that. See . . . there are human beings all
over, trapped in bodies controlled by Yeerks. Trapped. Unable to escape. Rachel, I know how
they feel. Maybe I can't escape. Maybe I am trapped forever. But if we can free some of those
others. Maybe . . . I don't know. Maybe that's what I need to do to stay human.>
"Shouldn't be any big problem," Jake said confidently.

"Uh-huh," Cassie said dryly. "And how many times have you gone fishing?"

"Counting this time? Once." He laughed.

I cried so hard...

I know....*grumbles* After reading it, I was like, "What?" Just that. I really didn't like it...

Cassie: Aaaaaaaahhhhh!
Jake: Look out! Lookoutlookoutlooko utlookout!
Marco: Would you both shut up? I'm trying to drive here!
Jake: Car! Car! Car!
Marco: (yanks wheel left)
Driver: (speeds by, blares horn, and flips Marco off)
Marco: That's rude. And totally uncalled for.
BAM!
Cassie: Aaaaaaaahhhhhh!
Marco: Oh, it's just a trash can. Chill out.
BAM! BAM! BAM!
Marco: Okay, so it's four trash cans.
Jake: Get off the sidewalk, you lunatic!
Marco: (yanks wheel right, bumps the sidewalk, grazes a parked car)
BAM! BAM! BAM!
Jake: Do you hate trash cans? Is that your problem? Do you just HATE TRASH CANS?!!
Marco: I can't drive with you screaming in my ear.
Jake: You can't drive at all!

Marco: Okay, look, you wait right there by that table. Don't go anywhere. If my dad comes in and talks to you, just say 'yes' and 'no.' Got it? Yes and no answers only. I'll run up to my room. I'm gonna call one of the others to meet us at the bookstore. You're already driving me nuts.
Ax: (fiddles with Marco's father's computer, thinking it's a game) (to self) I win.
Peter: Hello?
Ax: (turns around, remembering what Marco said) No.
Peter: I'm Marco's dad. Are you a friend of his?
Ax: Yes.
Peter: What's your name?
Ax: No.
Peter: Your name is 'No'?
Ax: Yes.
Peter: That's an unusual name isn't it?
Ax: No.
Peter: It's not?
Ax: Yes.
Peter: Yes, it's not an unusual name?
Ax: No.
Peter: Now I'm totally confused.
Ax: Yes.
Peter: (stares, then to Marco) Hey, Marco? Marco? Would you... um... your friend is here. Your friend 'No' is here.
Ax: No.
Peter: Yes, that's what I said.
Marco: (running down the stairs) Whoa! Um, Dad! You met my friend?
Peter: No?
Marco: What?
Peter: (shakes head) I must be getting old. I don't understand you kids.
Ax: Yes.

Oh dear.  I thought I had some good ones, but now I think it's mostly the descriptions that stayed with me over the years, rather than specific quotations.

Of course, some silly quips have survived within in-jokes:

"Don't [verb] me!  I'm just a birdie!"

"I am from Canada.  I am Canadese."

And I never pronounce "delirious" without a few extra "de-"s, now. 



...And I had to dig out #12, "The Reaction", in order to do justice to Cassie's brilliant reply:

"Yeah, I'm glad [the crocodile] didn't get me," Cassie said.  "I'm getting out of here.  I have to find my dad.  He's here somewhere.  It would help if someone would like, you know, get things organized."
Cassie pushed past the man.  I turned my face away, not wanting to surprise her.
"Andalite!" the man snapped.
My heart stopped.  He was testing Cassie.  Waiting to see if she would react.  If she would recognize the word.  If Cassie hesitated or stopped he would know.
He would know.
I shouldn't even have worried.
When he rapped out the word "Andalite!" she kept walking and without hesitation said, "Yeah, a light would be helpful, too."

I love that last quote a lot.

<This is Aximili,> he said, in as loud a thought-speak as he could
manage. <We have an eagle leaving the barn.>
 
Tobias's thought-speak came from somewhat closer. <l see him. Jake? I
hope you hear me. Because we have a traitor.>
 
Dang...

This is from a fanfic, Angels Rush In, but I still think it's worth posting here.

Earth lost many battles against the Yeerk army before it won the war, but Marco observed privately that the Animorphs themselves lost the fight personally the day that Rachel died.

Hey! That's mine! So flattered and glad you like it! Someone told me in a review that this post was on here and I had to come find it for myself. Thank you so much for the recc here

Thank you for the great fanfic! The Marco/Rachel relationship was incredibly complex, but you did a wonderful job of capturing it. From their banter to their occasional real fights to their inability to understand each other's battling styles, you did a superb job of summing up their interactions throughout - and beyond - the series. I can totally see Marco going skydiving in honor of Rachel, maybe feeling and riding the adrenaline rush the way she always did during a battle.
This is easily one of my favorite fanfics, and probably always will be.

I know this is from a fanfiction, but still...

<She's my mother.> I said, the note of surprise at those words still evident. <My mom. She's my mom. Mother, my mom, my... mother.> I kept repeating it, as thought doing so would make it any clearer.

Marco sat down abruptly. It looked funny, a gorilla just plopping down like that. He blinked, then rubbed a large hairy hand over his rear. <I've gotta stop doing that every time I see a mother. Dude, Tobias, no offense, but your mom is hot. And kind of familiar somehow.>

MM3, Rachel:
<They killed Jake,> I snapped. <And they're trying to get Washington. They could
kill Marco. They die! Do you hear me, Andalite? They killed your prince. Do your
duty.>
