"I'm serious about bad luck. It's funny until it happens to you..." 

"Bah! I think you're being humble....You'd make a great Chief Noble Tredder of Green."

 "It's the best in all of us, the grand dream, the lingering hope of what my family trusts can one day become everyone's inheritance."

"It's a great day to jilt the boockards out of Raul." 

"Please, son, try to be good tomorrow."

"Oh, and Eluxa, if you think Bowy ever noticed you, you're the one with a horrible memory!"

 "I wouldn't quit the Coosings!  Sawb really stretched when he appointed me last year--my family, you know; we're not chauss or toting gold."

 "I'll have you for lunch. You're a nobody."

"We need another quick mind around here these days--tough times with the likes of Dreaderious and his kind lurking about."

"Mentioning Boot's father like that was completely heartless and unforgivable.  Only a rock with no emotion whatsoever would concoct the things he said." 

"I almost didn't recognize you with a shirt on."
