Case Quotes

“Cautiously, he moved further out, checking the roofs, doors, windows. Nothing. He walked out further, keeping against the wooden wall of a building, just in case. His heart was pounding in his ears. Strange, isn’t it? You could be in hundreds of fights, but everyone always seemed like the first time. A million different things could happen, go completely wrong. Then it might well be his last. Where is he? Which building?”

“They look at you odd. They say why don’t you do something? I HAVE done everything possible. It does occupy your mind, but like anything painful, you push it to one side. It’s in the bottom compartment; it comes out every so often. If I knew he was dead, I could grieve.”

“‘Having a missing brother has made me far more compassionate. It’s really sad that we haven’t had an answer, that we don’t know, but there’s still that vestige of hope, if you haven’t heard anything. But it’s a painful bit of luggage to carry around with you.’.”

“Meradinis! Turtle Island! It was a little corner of chaos! This was the scene the speeding black ship had left behind three days ago, fleeing in humiliating shame, those three days a constant running battle. For three days the accursed Imperial ship Indomitable had followed, firing on them at every opportunity. Death or imprisonment now awaited those who called themselves Corsairs – and though this death was now more certain rather than just a possibility, Sona Kilroy, or “The Hammer” as he was called by his men, was not prepared to give up his freedom so easily. Piracy was his life and he’d known no other. He was tough and cruel, a despicable man, a case in point when academics quoted the barbarism by which the Corsairs had made themselves known and feared across the star systems of the peaceful Terran Empire.”

“Imagine if you will: At the highly secretive, largely independent, inter-dimensional and (inevitably) clandestine organization called the Time Saving Agency, there is a saying that goes: ‘You can’t break an omelet without first making eggs’. While this may appear to be a rather flippant little idiom, there is – as is usually the case, far more to it than meets the eye.”

“Kitalifa ni utiifu kamili, woga, umbali (kwa maana ya kuwa mbali na biashara ya mamafia wengine mpaka kwa makubaliano maalumu) na nidhamu ya kutoshirikiana na mamlaka zote za serikali. Ukishtakiwa kwa kosa la madawa au ujambazi ambalo hukufanya, utatumikia kifungo mpaka mwisho bila kushirikiana na polisi (kwa maana ya kutaja aliyehusika au waliohusika na uhalifu huo) hata kama aliyehusika au waliohusika hana au hawana uhusiano wowote na Kolonia Santita. Falsafa ya Kitalifa ni Sheria ya Kitalifa ya Kiapo cha Swastika cha Kolonia Santita. Na adhabu ya kuvunja sheria hiyo ni kifo.”

“Apoi Clarisse McClellan vorbi din nou. ― Te superi dacă îţi pun o întrebare? De cît timp eşti pompier? ― De zece ani, de la vîrsta de douăzeci de ani. ― Citeşti vreodată cărţile pe care le arzi? ― E interzis prin lege! rîse el. ― Oh. Desigur. ― E o muncă bună. Luni ardem Millar, miercuri ardem Whitman, vineri Faulkner, le facem scrum, apoi ardem şi scrumul. E deviza noastră oficială. Merseră mai departe şi fata îl întrebă: ― E adevărat că, în urmă cu mulţi ani, pompierii stingeau focurile în loc să le aprindă? ― Nu. Casele au fost întotdeauna construite din material neinflamabil, te rog să mă crezi. ― Ciudat. Am auzit că, odinioară, casele luau foc din întîmplare şi pompierii erau necesari ca să stingă focul. El rîse.”

“This is how these people work! They made the Canterbury look like Mars. It wasn’t. They made the Donnager look like the Belt. It wasn’t. Now it looks like the whole damn thing’s Earth? Follow the pattern. It probably isn’t! You never, never put that kind of accusation out there until you know the score. You look. You listen. You’re quiet, fercrissakes, and when you know, then you can make your case.”

Padlocks and deadbolts are all in vain. Why do you even bother with that chain? She’s way too smart. Along with ours, she’ll have your heart. And you will see that the best locksmith in town is she.”

“Ndani ya kibweta cha risasi kuna vitu vitano vyenye uwezo wa kulipuka kama vile risasi, kasha, baruti, kitako na fataki. Risasi hutumika kama kombora – kitu kinachoweza kusafiri hewani na kulipuka baada au kabla ya kugonga shabaha – wakati kasha kazi yake ni kuhifadhi vitu vyote vya kibweta kwa pamoja kusudi visisambae. Baruti inayotoa au isiyotoa moshi ni poda yenye uwezo wa kulipuka ambayo ndani yake kuna mkaa, salfa na shura; ambayo husukuma kombora mbele kwa nguvu kubwa baada ya fataki kulipuka kupitia katika kitako cha kibweta. Kitako cha kibweta hutumika kama kiziduo cha risasi kutoka katika chemba ya silaha, wakati fataki kazi yake ni kuwashia baruti.”

“Ford Bronco ilikuwa sehemu ya upelelezi wa polisi wa Tume ya Dunia, na ilipigwa mnada baada ya upelelezi na kesi kumalizika. Kiasi kikubwa cha pesa iliyopatikana kilikwenda kwa WPD – Idara ya Polisi ya Tume ya Dunia – ili iendelee kuimarisha huduma ya kukomesha biashara haramu ya madawa ya kulevya duniani.”
