The Dresden Files RPG Book Quote Scavenger Hunt

[Simon Hogwood]

Here's a couple for Rapport:

"Modern living might suck. And the world we've made can be a dark place. But at least I don't have to be there alone.

I put an arm around Nick's shoulders, and grinned at him. "It's like I keep telling you, man. You've got to have faith."

-Restoration of Faith

"Oh," I said. I rubbed at my jaw. "You think I should have gone four-color?"

Bob stared at me for a second and said, "I have nightmares about hell, where all I do is add up numbers and try to have conversations with people like you."

-from "The Vignette"

And one for Deceit:

"I held on to a flash of bad temper. "The point," I told Bob, "is to have an advertisement that looks solid, professional and reliable."

"Yeah. Advertising is all about lying," Bob said.

"Hey!"

-Also from "The Vignette"

Here's a new one for Conviction:

“Stop making me think,” Murphy said. “I’m believing over here.”

[waywardclam]

I don't think I saw this on the list of suggestions (correct me if I'm wrong):

Research:

"Goddamn Latin correspondence course."

-Summer Knight, but I couldn't find the exact reference

 

[tootalltipton]

Presence, Only one sentence in the series sums all of this up.
From chapter one of Blood Rites.

"Thomas has the kind of whiter-than-white boyish grin that makes women's panties spontaneously evaporate."

[Elorex619]

Might (Summer Knight, Chapter 11, Page 148? Line 7)

"I took another peek at the thug. With one hand, he casually lifted a sofa that had to weigh a couple of hundred pounds and peered under it. I drew back from the door again. Fisticuffs, bad idea. Definitely a bad idea."

Sorry about the page and line my Book might be messed up

Intimidation
I felt cold stone flow into the features of my face, into the timbre of my voice.
...
The change in tone hit her hard. She blinked at me in surprise for a second, lips parted but empty of sound.
...
She stared at me in utter shock.
...
I leaned closer, staring coldly, and she leaned away, declining to make eye contact. "Now buckle the f*** up." She did.
(Proven Guilty, chap 9, page 59, hardcover)

Investigation
There was a large splotch of [blood] on the floor, and it had been smeared around when it had been making the tile all slippery. There were a couple of different footmarks on the floor, outlined in blood, and more smears of it on one of the sinks, where the victim had apparently tried to pull himself up off the floor. It looked fairly gruesome, which wasn't really a surprise. There wasn't as much blood as there would have been at, say, a murder, but there was plenty all the same.
(Proven Guilty, chap 11, page 77, hardcover)

And another one for Rapport
"Give me a ride home?" I asked.
She already had her keys in her hand. "Do I look like your driver?"
"Thanks, Murph."
(Proven Guilty, chap 13, page 97, hardcover)

I know this may not be what you want, but I couldn't resist. I'll add more when I have the books at hand.

Burglary - Dead Beat pg. 324
"One little burglary and you've gone habitual,"

[Drali]

A suggestion for Intimidation.

Proven Guilty

"I lunged, low and quick, and drove about a foot of cold steel into his danglies.  Hey, I don't care what kind of fearie or mortal or hideous creature you are.  If you've got danglies, and can loose them, that's the kind of sight that makes you reconsider the possible genitalia-related ramifications of your actions real damned quick."

[laurelei23]

Endurance: (I think Harry's ability to see things thru is just as important as his ability to take a head shot.)

Hope twitched somewhere inside me... "Yeah? What did they say?"

His smile widened. "That the White Council's unyielding policy is one of nonnegotiation with terrorists."

Hope's corpse went through some postmortem twitching.


Investigation:

"Hey!" I protested. "Are you selllng me on eBay?"

Crane winked at me. "Ironic, eh? Though I confess a bit of surprise. How do you know what it is?"

"I read." I told him.

--Proven Guilty, ch 26

[Angel of Murphy]

Contacts:
"Because I know something you don't."
"What? What could you possibly know that matters now?"
"The phone number to Pizza Spress."
"Get her, Toot!" SK 362
Conviction:
"In the name of the Pizza Lord! Charge!" SK 362
Deceit:
"Yeah, just like old times, Elaine. You backbiting, poisonous, treacherous..."
"...deceitful, wicked, clever girl. If this works I'll buy you a pony." SK 311
Empathy:
The attack was a bloody, brutal, violent, reprehensible killing. Cain's brother Abel probably never saw it coming. As I opened the door to my apartment, I was filled with a sense of empathic sympathy and intuitive understanding. For freaking Cain. DB 1
Endurance:
"Harry, remind me why we keep hurling ourselves into this kind of insanity." PG 332
Fists:
I don't hit girls. DB 256
Guns:
"Nasty. Anyone who knows their way around a kusari is a tough customer."
"Yeah. So we shoot him."
"Damn right, we shoot him."
Intimidation:
"If anything happens to Murphy and I even think you had a hand in it, f*ck right and wrong. If you touch her, I'm declaring war on you. Personally. I'm picking up every weapon I can get. And I'm using them to kill you. Horribly." DB 389
"I gave you a chance."
"Mouse, kill him" DB 338
Might:
The ghoul let out a scream and stared up at Sue in naked terror, covering his head with his arms. Sue ate him. Snap. Gulp. No more ghoul. DB 356
Rapport:
"What was that about?"
"Erlking, big-time bad guy. Wanted to eat me."
"Why?"
"Well. I met him." PG 324
Scholarship:
"What's with that?"
"Just covering his head with his arms? Didn't he see the lawyer in the movie?"
"Those who do not learn the lessons of history are doomed to repeat them." DB 356

Fists

"In real life, the chair doesn't break when you slug somebody with it, the way it does in the movies. The person you hit is the one who breaks."

storm front chapter 23 pg 301

[Karevala]

Resources I found a whole bunch.

My stomach made an unhappy noise. It was almost as empty as my wallet.
(Fool Moon 1:1)

The walls [of the lab] were lined with wire racks, and I'd filled them with Tupperware, boxes, bags, tubs, bottles, cups, bowls, and urns. Most of the containers had a label listing their contents, ingredients for any number of potions, spells, summonings, and magical devices I had occasion to make from time to time.
(Blood Rites 5:34)

Hot water. Ye gods. There are no words to describe how good a hot shower feels after several years of living with no water heater of your own.
(Blood Rites 20:152)

I guess if [he] could afford a house that size, he could afford a water heater to match it, because I ran the shower as hot as I could stand for almost half an hour and it never got cold.
(Blood Rites 20:153)

The house we finally pulled up to had multiple wings, multiple stories, and couple of faux-castle turrets. It had cost someone eight digits, and could have doubled as the headquarters for the villain in a James Bond movie.
(Blood Rites 18:139)

I had enough to cover [the bill], but only because I managed to find a couple of quarters in the various pockets of my duster. I left the money on the table. There wasn't enough for a tip.
(Blood Rites 23:189)

I got a couple of quotes.

Investigation
Death Masks pg 123 (paperback)
"I watched as she put the phone down and casually let the nightgown fall to the floor.  I watched a little more.  I wasn't being a peeping Tom.  This was professional.  I noted that she had some intriguing curves.  See?  Professionalism in action."

Intimidation
Proven Guilty pg 150 (paperback)
"I walked into the place looking like I was hoping to kick someone in the neck because it was a hell of a lot easier to discourage potential predators ahead of time than it was to slug it out with them when they followed me out afterward."

I'm doing some rereading I'll probably have more soon.

[iago]

I really appreciate the effort folks are putting in, here.  I haven't had the time to tabulate the new stuff, but I think it's looking pretty good.  When I do get the time, I'll do an update.  Keep 'em coming!

[Rel Fexive]

I wish a friend of mine would give me my Storm Front back, so I can read the books again... while looking out for good quotes
