Pop Quiz: What is your favorite line from the Heist series?

May 9, 2012 by Ally Carter 235 Comments

Okay, gang,

Crazy busy.  Or maybe just crazy.  But in any case, no time to share a lot of my thoughts, so I’ll just ask for YOUR thoughts.

What’s your favorite line from Heist Society OR Uncommon Criminals?

 

Happy Wednesday,

Ally

    Hmm…that’s hard. I love pretty much ever word out of Nick’s mouth, but I think this has to be my favorite, though I have no idea why:
    “The man studied her as if this were all new information (it wasn’t). He sighed as if he could completely understand her predicament (he couldn’t). And he looked at her as if his smile could take the sting out of her current situation (it didn’t even come close). ”

    –Uncommon Criminals

    Kat was biting her nails, walking around Hale, staring him slowly up and down.
    “His hands are off,” Gabrielle pointed out.
    “Posture’s wrong,” Kat said.
    “He’s still…hot,” Gabrielle said, as if it were the greatest insult in the world.
    “I feel so objectified. So…cheap,” Hale told them, but the girls talked on.

    I love all the lines, but this is one of my favorites! 🙂

    “Cleopatra took the biggest emerald in the world and, in all her wisdom, decided to split it down the middle and give half to Marc Anthony. Then he went off to battle the romans -”

    “And died,” Hale chimed in from behind her.

    “Cleopatra kept the other half,” Gabrielle went on.

    “And died,” Hale said again.

    That made me laugh so hard!!! Hale is so cute and romantic and AWESOME!!

    Tacone smiled. “And you’ve come here alone,” he said, but it was really a question.

    “Now, I could say yes, and have you think I’m lying. Or I could say no, and have you think I’m bluffing. So maybe I’ll just say… no comment.”

    He crossed his arms across his bare chest. “You know, I could be naked in here.”

    “Can I see you outside for a second?” Kat glared at Hale, then walked to the patio doors and out onto the veranda.
    As Hale closed the door behind him, Kat heard Angus say, “Ooh, Mom and Dad are going to fight now.”

    I cant decide!! I love all of Ally’s books. But one of my favorite parts that wasnt mentioned here is the part where they first get on hale’s yacht. And Kat wont go out on the deck and Hale says ““If anything happens, Marcus will save you. Won’t you, Marcus?” Hale asked, looking up at the man, who nodded. “It would be an honor, miss.” “Let’s try not to let it come to that,” -Kat. I love this part, but partically because i have the same fear!!

    I like the line ‘In his bathroom stall thirty feet away, Simon nearly fell off the toilet.’
    I also like the line “I didn’t know there were this many math guys,” Hale said as they stepped onto the crowded concourse.
    Kat cleared her throat.
    “And women,” he added. “Math women.”
    BUT this line is good too! “I wouldn’t mind meeting a dashing thief,” the woman’s friend whispered. Hale winked at Kat.Kat raised her eyebrows and whispered, “I’d like to meet one of those, too.”

    I love this one because it’s “one of those stories you never tell”. I have some of those stories too. maybe that’s why I love this so much.

    “W. W. Hale the Fourth bought that car for Headmaster Franklin, or didn’t they mention that? Granted, it was to make up for a fire that W. W. the Fifth allegedly started in the eighth grade-before they suggested that all current and future W. W. Hales continue their educations elsewhere- which worked out just as well since I’m at the Knightsbury Institute now.”
    “I’ve never heard of it.”
    “My father just got a letter just last week telling him that I have become a model student.”
    “Congratulations,” Kat said, doubting it.
    “Yeah well, I’m the only student.” He grinned a very Hale-like grin. “Of course, the downside of attending a fictional school is that our lacrosse team sucks. Anyway, if the Colgan School wanted to be technical about it, I trashed my car.”

    “Its Vermeer”

    Kat turned to the boy who lingered in the doorway. “It’s stolen”

    “What can I say?” Hale eased behind her and studied the painting over her shoulder. “I met a very nice man who bet me he had the best security system in Istanbul.” His breath was warm on the back of her neck. “He was mistaken.”

    When Hale picks Kat up after getting her kicked out of boarding school:

    Kat didn’t know what to say. It’s good to see you? Thanks for getting me kicked out? Is it possible you’ve gotten even hotter? I think I might have missed you?

    i didn’t choose it Kat… i chose you -Hale

    you know i could be naked underneath here -Hale

    Mum and Dad are fighting again – I think it was one of the Bagshaw boys or maybe Simon

    Hamish looked at Hale. “The boobs are new”…
    “Is that padded?” Simon held out his hand as if to cop an oh-so-scientific feel….
    ”Her dad’s gonna get out of prison one of these days, boys.” -HALE
    “What do you think? C-cup?-SIMON

    HS bk 1:
    ( about the Promethus statue)
    ” he stole fire from the gods,” Kat.
    i don’t know, i just really like this. maybe it’s the greek/roman referance.

    the ” gaping at Kat” scene. i can just imagine their fish faces! and Hamish and Angus’s accents too (well, i think they have accents) makes sound infinity x more funny!

    HS bk 2:

    But even Gabrielle herself couldn’t seem to process what just happened. She looked up and found her cousin’s eyes.
    “Kat, did I just…fall?” Gabrielle
    “Yeah, I think you did.” Kat
    She’s so horrified, it’s funny! Its like she had some superpower she just lost, becuase of the Emerald.
