"Are you okay?” “Yeah.” “Good,” she said, “because if you fall off a skyscraper, I’ll be so mad at you."
"What are you doing?” I asked Loretta. “Stabbing a cushion,” she told me."

"We’re alive!” Swedish told her. “I did not see that coming."
"You know what to do?” “Wander around,” I said. “Until I spot a self-assembled whangdoodle from the Foggy depths."
"Did you just call me ‘sweetie’?” I asked. She shoved my shoulder. “No."
"Well, the bad news,” Swedish said from the wheel, “is that Chess still thinks he’s funny.” “What’s the good news?” Loretta asked, leaning on our little copper-tubed harpoon. “That Kodoc dropped a bomb..."
"Now you’re listening to Swedish ?” I asked her. “He thinks I’m the Compass because every time I see ticktocks, I happen to be there!"
