I love the cracks directed at Tallow. "By the way, why are you so yellow?" "We all have problems, chum. I'm overly talkative and you look like a field of buttercups in a suit." |

The Footnotes in General are superb. If you ever want to laugh, follow these steps. Flip through the book. Look for a footnote. Laugh. A couple of specific quotes: - 'What's the Matter with him? Hasn't he ever seen an Orang-Utan before?' 'Not one with Wings, possibly.' That's my fave. I love it. Laughged for ages. Such a memorable quote. - 'What happened to Simpkin?' 'The foliot? Oh, he perished'. 'Tsk. That's a shame.' I meant this wholeheartedly. I'd been robbed of my revenge. Tottally cliche'd, but done so well. - The Emperor's mouth wen all white and pursed. It was rather cat-like in itself, if you get my meaning. In the Prologue of GE. - The mercenary finished his coffee with a single gulp. It must have been piping-hot too. Boy, he was tough. The kind of joke that comes to you randomly after you read the book, at any time, and just makes you smile. |

I like the one about seeing Nat as a man, from a distance, wearing a coat, etc. |

"Poor Humphrey is presumably still there, bored out of his mind. Though we gave him a pack of cards with which to pass the time" "imps (rephehensible), foliots (negligible), djinn (a fascinating class with one or two absolute gems), afrits (overrated), and marids (dreadfully full of themselves)" Imp: Yes Bart: and? Imp: I'm sorry Miraculous One, it's hard to think of new titles for you when you ask short questions. |

lol, the one where bartimaeus is making a footnote in nathaniel's head (body actually) is really funny. Also the "5 min, i got bored" but my favourite is my signature. |

I retracted my wing briefly, held the boy so he had a quick view of the square. "Take a look," I said. "Which house do you think has the thinnest walls?" For a moment, he was uncomprehending. Then his eyes widened. "You're not---" "That one? With the pink shutters? Yes, maybe you're right. Well, let's see..." | |

Since voluntary dematerialization in humans is rare (2) I figured the pub was the likely option. (2) It tends to be involuntary: i.e. when you hit them wit a denotation. I just had to laugh at that. Here's another quote i like. "Good luck to you, Mr. Mandrake." A rattle of a key, a metal screeeching: the bolt beyond the door being drawn. "You don't need to call me that," he said "It's your name." "No. My name is Nathaniel." |
