Catching Ducks

From Guilty Pleasures:


Zachary: You've used a flamethrower on vampires before?

Anita: No, but I saw it used.

Zachary: Did it work?

Anita: Like a charm; messy, though. And it burned the house down around us. I thought it was a little extreme.

From The Killing Dance. (Raina is a vampire.)


Raina: You could kill all of us… and feel nothing.

Anita: I’d feel something.

Rainia: What?

Anita: Safer.

From Burnt Offerings:


Anita: [about her steak] A petite cut.

the waiter: How would you like that prepared?

Anita: Half well-done, half rare.

the waiter: Excuse me, madam?

Anita: It’s an eight-ounce cut, right? Cut it in half, and cook four-ounces of it well-done, and four-ounces of it rare.

the waiter: I don’t think we can do that.

Anita: At these prices you should bring the cow out and have a ritual sacrifice at the table. Just do it.

From The Lunatic Cafe:


[Anita has told Jean-Claude (a vampire who's in love with her) that she's dating Richard (a werewolf).]


Anita: [Jean-Claude] took the news better than I thought he would, actually.
Richard: He took it well?
Anita: I didn't say that. He didn't burst through a wall and try to kill you immediately. He took it better than I expected.
Richard: Did he threaten to kill me?
Anita: Oh, yeah.
