Book 24-The Suspicion Now you see why we really didn't need a second alien invasion of Earth. I mean, isn't one enough? --Cassie <A flying thing, Prince Jake? What is a flying thing?> "That would be a thing that flies." --Ax, Marco "No, Jake and Ax, do not come in! Rachel, you could come in." <Marco!> "Hey, the Wicked Witch gets to be full size and I'm down here singing 'We represent the Lollipop Guild?' I don't think so." --Marco, Tobias "Okay everyone just stay put. Look, the other Helmacron ship took off. Rachel hit it with a brick." --Jake "Honey, I shrunk the Animorphs!" --Marco <I am not an inferior human, I am an Andalite.> "Hey!" --Ax, Rachel <Ah-hah! You see our might and tremble!> "I see your might. Where's your tremble?" --A Helmacron, Marco "You heard the man, Cassie. Let's grovel...I grovel before the mighty Helmacron captain, most mighty of the mighty, undisputed champion of the world in the dust-weight category! We grovel like the pitiful losers we are! We grovel like a guy who hasn't got a date the day before the prom and the only girl around is the head cheerleader, that's how much we grovel. Cassie, you could join in any time, you know...O mighty Helmacron dead guy, we grovel like a video game addict trapped in an arcade without a quarter, that's how much we grovel. You would not believe the depths of our grovelry! We grovel like a guy with a large order of fries and the only salt shaker is at the table of the school bully. We grovel--" <Enough!> --Marco, a Helmacron "Oh, man. Now I'm really scared. It's an entire species of Rachels." --Marco "Fine, Cassie. Run back to Jake now that you're all big again. I guess that's the end of our plan to populate the world with a new race of tiny people." --Marco |
