Sentences you'll never forget

[Toc']

The only sentences I could never forget are from Book 18.

Ax is narrating:


"At this point I would like to bring one more element : human language can be very imprecise.
She had said "take one".
One what?
One cinnamon bun?
One tray of cinnamon buns?
So, was it my fault if there had been a misunderstanding?"



(PS: if someone has the exact wording of the scene, could you post it please? My book is in French and I'm just writing a loosy translation here^^)

[ko ko]

here you go

She indicated a square array of cinnamon buns. Perhaps a dozen in all!
"For me?" I asked in a voice choked with emotion.
"Sure, son. Go ahead and have one."
Let me make one final point here: human mouth-sound language is very fuzzy at times.
"Have one," she'd said.
One mouthful? One bun?
One tray?
It was certainly not my fault if there was any confusion.

True, most of the lines I put up here I've forgotten more than once.
But the favorite quotes thread is buried so I'll keep it here:

"Not a bad body on that one....
What? What, I can't compliment a fish girl?"

*bows to Marco*

anything the helmacrons say is just classic 

[OMGsoObsessed]

When reading 54, I could keep myself from crying until Tobias morphs human and Rachel says "I love you". That is the most memorable and touching quote to me.... and after she says that, I lost it and started bawling

For some reason I really loved the exchange in Visser where visser 1 says that Marco is weak and will never amount to anything. And then later in the book visser 1(didnt know whether to say he or she lol) admits that Marco is a very perceptive person who could see through all the bull and get to the bottom line. Marco's always been my favorite character and that was a great recognition of his talents from a clearly tough critic.

from 30, one of the most emotionally charged books in an extremely emotionally charged series.

<I love you,> I whispered.  And then, I lunged.

"The boy!" she whispered, amazed.  "It's the boy!"

[SkyMorpher]

I love the end of The Pretender, even though it was mentioned already. I like Tobias going <message received father, message received.> as he flies off.

I bet a lot of the rest have been mentioned by now...there were great funny lines and some good serious ones too.

There's another good prince one too.

Jake <Don't call me prince>
Ax: I will call you the Jake formerly known as Prince.

I read the book with the barf stuff again last night...Marco forgot a big one though: Praying to the porcelain god

Isn't there one where Rachel herself says something about "morph into an elephant and STOMP YOU FLAT" ?

The dance in The Sickness, a lot of good lines there. "You'll take her back to your tree" "Hey, the chicks go wild for the feathers, bay-bee"

Ax: She wants my body! bdee!

Rachel saying she'd only go out with Marco if pigs fly

The Secret...Marco, I think: Oooh, Lean Cuisine frozen mouse entrees

Oh and you all forgot Tobias: "Let's just say, if you get on my nerves, you better buy a hat."

I forget which book, but Marco's comment to Rachel about 'the chakram of your wit"

The Reaction
"I'm Falling Girl's sidekick, Dropping Chick."

[AllyVP]

Isn't there one where Rachel herself says something about "morph into an elephant and STOMP YOU FLAT" ?

You might be thinking of Jake in MM3, the Agincourt scene:

"So, there we were, suddenly appearing in the middle of a bunch of tents full of guys wearing armor," I said conversationally.  "Naturally we figured we'd better lie low.  Not attract attention.  Not cause any trouble."
<Are you really mad?> Rachel asked.
(Jake and Marco go to pull the poor knight out of the mud)
"I figured I'd try the subtle approach," I said.  "But, of course, that's just me.  It hadn't occurred to me that what I should do is morph into elephant and STOMP PEOPLE INTO THE MUD!"
<You are mad.>
"Why would I be mad?  Just because at the very moment I'm thinking 'Cool, we snuck past the guards,' I suddenly hear and ELEPHANT?"

Such a fantastic exchange.  But now that I'm rethinking, I think you might be right.  I think Rachel might have said something along those lines to David.

I forgot some in The Reaction...I love all the mocking  Jake and Marco do over Jeremy Jason. And the Brad Pitt lips thing.

Which book has the 'peeless' exchange? I don't recall Tobias's line, but Ax replies <I am as peeless as you, my friend>

The Warning

Marco: I want to leave my brain to science
Rachel: Good, they're the ones with the microscopes they'll need to find it.

Book 13 the Change
Jara Hamee slices his head open to prove there is no yeerk.
Tobias: <Did that scare the pee out of you, Ax-man, or doesn't that kind of thing bother you Andalites?>
Ax: <I am as peeless as you, Tobias, my friend.>

[RYTX]

<Darlene likes him,> Ax said. <But she doesn't like him.>
<That's pretty much how everyone feels about Marco,>

[pandas795]

"That's not Dipsy," Cassie corrected. "That's Tinky Winky. Dipsy's green
and has the straight up thing. Tinky Winky's the one with the triangle."
<Who's the little red one?> Marco wondered.
"Po," Cassie said.
<0h, yeah.>
"No offense," Erek said, "but how on Earth have you people managed to
avoid getting caught for this long?"

Gets me everytime XD

[Canicula]

There were a few.
"My name is Jake Berenson"
That gave me a chill. It showed everything was different now

And when Tom said to Jake:
"Little brother, you've got to know by now: Wars aren't won with clean hands."
Because it is so true.

"Be happy for me, and all who fly free" Tobias in #3
I can not tell you why, but I love it

<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."
It's just so sad"

Tobias.
He had morphed. He was his human self once
more. He'd done that for me. And because he
was crying. I understood. Humans cry, hawks
don't.
"I love you," I said to the screen.
"And oh, god, how could so much regret and so much sweetness and so much sadness all be present in that single moment. I was already dead and missing my unlived life."
I really cried at this one. It says so much... I love and hate it. And the scene with her and the Ellimist of course

And the Trashcan part was also great xD

[RYTX]

It was from the stars that all my problems had come.
