“So, you mentioned about us being in a video game and being holograms, so there would be a creator who is entirely in control of us, because we are not even real, so we can classify this divergence from reality as… ummm…. A deterministic anti-reality, which is where a creator that is real creates a world that is not real, like a video game.”

“So you open your mouth and listen to yourself say, “I want eight thousand a day. Plus expenses.”
This is the polite, industry-standard way of saying “piss off, I’m not interested.” You did the math over your morning coffee: You want to earn 100K a year, what with those bonuses you’ve been pulling on top of your salary. (Besides, a euro doesn’t buy what it used to.) There are 250 working days in a year, and a contractor works for roughly 40 per cent of the time, so you need to charge yourself out at 2.5 times your payroll rate, or 1000 a day in order to meet your target. Not interested in the job? Pitch unrealistically high. You never know…

“So, you play Batman at night, and fix-it man during the day?" His nose wrinkled in a way that was entirely too adorable for his tough guy demeanor. She didn't say a word about it though, knowing he'd never do it again if she pointed it out.
"Batman? Batman's a pathetic jelly donut. He's a little Richie Rich that prances 'round in fancy tights and dress up panties, too much of a wuss to do anythin' without a mask and a prepubescent scarecrow as a sidekick.”

“So you put me through all this suffering just to taunt me?’
‘Humans suffer because they take seriously that which we create for entertainment.’
‘Oh really? Because let me tell you, I wasn’t the least bit entertained!’
‘That’s because you were not being entertained, Mr Fantoccio, you were being enlightened,’ stated the Mistress through a pair of foggy eyes. ‘You want to know why painting never worked for you? Because painters are creators and you, Mr Fantoccio, are an overseer. You don’t care about setting up the puppet show; you are merely interested in giving it a good ending. For you, Mr Fantoccio, creating the world was never enough; you aspire to run it. With every breath, you want to shape it. With every choice, you need to control it.”

“So you raise up a few generations of young girls, telling them that they should step to the back of the bus, ingrain that in their psyche, preach it to them from the pulpit, hold up as ideal examples women doing precisely that, and in a few years, you can step back; you need say no more. Your work is done, because you have carefully created a herd of women who know and even begrudgingly accept that their place is secondary, just outside the limelight, clapping for and cheering on the important people who were never taught to put others first.”

“So, you’re a beginner in meditation? Awesome! Welcome to the calm club. Think of meditation as a mental workout—no sweat, just serenity. Find your comfy spot, close your eyes, and focus on your breath. When your thoughts wander (and they will), gently steer them back like herding cats on caffeine. Keep at it, and you’ll be zenning out like a guru in no time. Remember, even the Dalai Lama started somewhere. So, stick with it, and enjoy your journey to becoming a meditation maestro!”
“So you're a fellow mercenary, then."

And I was a tomato. “Yeah.”
“So you’ve never broken up with someone after having sex?”
I stared at him. And that smug sonofabitch had the nerve to chuckle. My face was on fire and I wanted to slide to the floor. Under the tile. “That’s not . . . it isn’t—”
“I can fix that for you. Seems like the least I can do.”

“So you’re both going in, maybe not exactly trading lines, but you’re both the leads. Like all of those girl rap duos that’ve been so big. You’re showing each other up, but you’re wanting the same thing…” He struck a pose. “Back to back at times, then facing each other, then one of you steps forward.” He did a confident walk across the room. “Push her behind with the fingers, a little bitchy, you know? But, you’re both there. You’re both killing it. You’re both showing the world how much fucking hotter it is to be 29 than it is to be 19”

“So, you’re
down a few guards already. What about the rest?”
“I will handle them,” I told him.
Delano lowered his glass. “None of them can be swayed to join our
side?”
I smiled faintly at his optimism. “I don’t believe so.”
“See? Marshmallow.” Elijah leaned back, kicking his feet up onto the
desk. “First thing he asks? How did the Maiden get scarred? The second
thing?” He finished off his whiskey as Naill hid his smile behind his hand.
“Can any of the guards be saved? Soon, he’s gonna ask—” He cursed as
Delano turned, knocking his legs off the desk with a swipe of his arm,
nearly toppling Elijah out of his chair. He righted himself with one hand.
“My apologies.”
“Uh-huh.” Delano turned.”

“So you're entirely protected from my random lusts."
"Random lusts?"
"I usually have more control in these matters. You do seem to have a habit of affecting me strangely." His cool tone was entirely deceptive. His body was hot and hard against hers, and she could feel the tension running through him. Odd, to realize that it was somehow she who had made him tense.
"I'm sorry," she said, staring up at him.
"Oh, don't be." He moved his head toward hers, and she had the strange notion that he was going to kiss her. "At least it breaks my boredom.”

“So, you’re handed a baby and a new name (Daddy) and you now have to choose to accept the challenge. Here’s the thing. I don’t believe that rejecting it’s an option. I mean, people DO reject it. But you shouldn’t. You choose then and there to be a father. And you make that choice, day in and day out to make sure their needs are met, that the example is set for them, that they are loved, cherished, corrected, and challenged. You have to choose it.”
“So you're implying that criminals don't deserve to be protected by the law? The the rules ought to be compromised on a case-by-case basis?”

“So you're like a ... an amateur sleuth?"
"God no. I'm more like the hapless guys in those film-noir flicks we used to watch. I keep getting tangled up in bizarro events."
"Oh yes?” His eyes lit with enthusiasm. I was speaking his language now. “Guy Pearce in L.A. Confidential or William Hurt in Body Heat?"
"I was thinking more like Woody Allen in Play It Again, Sam.”

Shit. He knows.”

“So you're not upset about the fact that I was...tracking you?"
He flashed his dimple at me. "Think we can call a spade a spade. You were stalking me."
I grunted, not agreeing but not denying it either.
"But no." Matty smiled shyly, toying with a button on my shirt. My cock twitched as his fingertip grazed my skin. "I'm not upset about that. Actually, I think it's quite...flattering. Like maybe you were thinking of me as much as I was thinking of you."
Fuck. I was on dangerous ground here. "You shouldn't look at it that way. It's toxic, red flag behaviour."
His teeth sank into his lower lip as he looked up at me from under his lashes.
"Did I ever tell you I'm colour blind?”

“So, you're old,' I said. 'And you carry around a sword, and go on border patrol. Did you fight in the war?' Fine- perhaps I hadn't quite let go of my curiousity about his eye.
He winced. 'Shit, Feyre- I'm not that old.”

“So you’re saying the ball’s in my court.”
He bent his head, stopping just before his mouth touched hers. “The ball has always been in your court, Jessica,” he said huskily. “From the first moment I walked up to you at the Academy.”
She looked at him for a moment. Then she stood up on her tiptoes and leaned into him.
The instant her lips touched his, John slid one hand to her waist and threaded the other in her hair.

“So you're saying you'd settle for a boring romance if it ends well?'
'Yes. I would gladly take an uneventful happily ever after.'
Jacks smirked. 'No, you wouldn't. You wouldn't have been happy with Luc, and definitely not forever. The two of you aren't well suited. He's not half as strong as you- he didn't even hesitate before he tried to bite you. And he wouldn't have turned himself to stone to save you.'
'You don't know that.'
'Yes, I do. There's always a way to break a curse. As soon as you drank from Poison's goblet, it refilled. I didn't stay to explain the rules, but they would have appeared on the side of the cup. Luc could have saved you if he wanted.”

“So, you're suggesting I led you out here, instead of toward a private room with a bed' - he dragged the tips of his fingers down my right arm- 'to engage in a particular type of inappropriate behaviour?'
'That's exactly what I'm saying, though my room would've been a better option.' My heart had already started pounding the moment my rear ended up in his lap. Now, it felt as if it were going to explode out of my chest.
'What if I said that isn't true?'
'I...' My stomach fluttered as his fingers found their way to my hip. 'I wouldn't believe you.'
'Then what if I said it didn't start off that way?' His thumb moved against my hip. But then there was the moonlight and you, with your hair down, in this dress, and then the idea occurred to me that this would be the perfect location for some wildly inappropriate behaviour.'
'Then I... I would say that's more likely.'
HIs hand glided over the thin, gauzy material of the gown. 'So, there you have it.'
'At least, you're honest.”
