“There was a knock on the bedroom door. “Matt?” Fuck. “Nope. Silence. “Would you be the owner of the leather pants?” “Yep.” She paused briefly. “I’m going to pass these through the door. You have exactly thirty seconds to pull them on, make yourself presentable and get your ass out here.” “Do I have any other options?” “Only if Matt’s got a window.” He looked at the window longingly. The thirty-six-story drop with no fire escape might be less painful, but he decided there was no avoiding it. “Understood.”

“The question, then, is not whether boy should meet girl in Winnipeg or in New York; instead it is, What happens in Canadian literature when boy meets girl?

“Tell us a weird idea you've come up with that's totally out there.' 'Well,' said the author, 'I made George Formby president-for-life of Great Britain.' 'Who's George Formby?' asked Tiger. 'What's Great Britain? asked Boo. 'Okay,' he said, 'here's another: a book about Humpty Dumpty as a police procedural.' 'I think that's been done', said the Troll. 'Everyone's always retelling nursery rhymes. I mean, it's not a massive stretch, is it?' 'How about a social order based wholly on the strength of your colour vision?' 'Better,' I said. 'is there a sequel?' 'Don't you start.”

“The matron glanced at the old man and suppressed a smile. “He is absolutely miserable.” “I enjoy miserable. It gives one a contrast to all the delectabilities of life. But is he housebroken, inpala? He is rather rumpled. He will look well on my ship, but will he wash well? Do professors fray as a general rule? I will not have my ship looking ragged.” “They do tend to fade after a few years of hard use.”

“What do you recommend, James?" asked Jozef, perusing the scanty menu with a metropolitan air. "So many choices!" Dorota giggled. "Ah, it's recommending the fish I am," James answered gravely. "So good, you aren't needing even a drop of lemon to aid it." Both girls tittered. Truth to be told, none of them had seen so much as a lemon peel in the last two months.”

“Sagona nickade, något målmedvetet susade förbi i hennes gröna ögon. "Jag ska göra mitt bästa. Men även om vi lyckas finns ändå risken för att vi kommer bli upptäckta. Det finns en alarmklocka på innergården, om någon av vakterna ringer i den är vi körda. Och jag menar riktigt körda. Kniv-mot-strupen-körda." Caldar fnös. "Snälla. Vardagsmat." "Kniv-i-strupen-körda?" "Bättre." "Kniv-genom-halsartären-så-blodet-sprutar-och-färgar-kläderna-röda-medan-någon-rycker-ut-din-tunga-genom-snittet-i-halsen-körda?" Caldar gjorde tummen upp. "Det låter rätt. Och superäckligt. Har du funderat på ett yrke inom avrättningsavdelningen? De letar alltid efter folk med nya idéer.”

“Du får gärna tro på dina mystiska öar, jag tänker inte be om ursäkt för att jag tror på gamla damers föraningar. Min far brukade ta hjälp av en sierska som kunde förutspå hur skörden skulle bli." "Låt mig gissa. Hon sa till din far att hans bästa ko kommer bli stulen, och din far kunde knappt tro det när den var borta nästa dag." Luca spände käkarna med eftertryck. "Nej ..." "Om du säger det så, men jag slår vad om att den där sierskan var en ko rikare varje gång hon lämnade er gård.”

“Having fun?” said George. “Yes, Mr Lane,” said Dinkesh. “Kenny has just flown out of the window.” “That’s nice,” said George, banishing from his mind the thought that children as young as Kenny and Dinkesh would be daft enough to take drugs in their bedrooms.”

“When you say fair, Samantha,” said Mr Green through a peculiar smile, “do you mean one of those travelling fleets of vehicles that arrive and set up things like spinning Waltzers and Big Wheels and all manner of machines that whizz people around in circles and up and down and from side to side? Machines that could...” Mr Green turned away and his unnatural smile became even more unsettling... “easily go wrong!”

“When you reach a certain age, do you forget the ceaseless anxiety and remorseless boredom that constitutes teenage life? Does nostalgia induce selective amnesia? Because the way the neighbourhood dads tell it they all holidayed at this incredible resort called Adolescence. Where their Danny Zuko doppelgänger younger selves chased after a string of Sandy Olsson clones, and the days passed like greased lightning. And life was a gas.”
