Book 27-The Exposed

"You have to hurry!"
"Oh, really?  You know, the seriousness of the situation had totally escaped me."
"You can't walk, but you can be sarcastic?"
--Cassie, Erek

"I have Clinton, Gingrich, and a Teletubby.  Dipsey, I think."  -Jake
"That's not Dipsey.  That's Tinky-Winky.  Dipsey's green and has the straight up thing.  Tinky-Winky's the one with the triangle."  -Cassie
<Who's the little red one?>  -Marco
"Po."  -Cassie
<Oh, yeah.>  -Marco
"No offense, but how on Earth have you people managed to avoid getting caught for this long?"
--Erek

"Wow.  Not all glamour being an android, is it?"
"Tell me about it.  I'm passing as a junior high school kid."
--Rachel, Erek

"So let me get this straight.  We have to rescue a paralyzed Chee from a stolen goods warehouse before the Controllers get her.  Then we have to dive down to the bottom of the ocean, find the Pemalite ship, somehow get inside it and turn off the signal before ten o'clock tonight so the Yeerks don't get the Chee in the safe at the nuclear waste facility.  Is that pretty much it?  Or do we have to discover the Fountain of Youth and come up with a low-fat cookie that tastes as
good as Mrs. Field's, too?"
"Ticktock, ticktock."
"You are mentally ill."
--Marco, Rachel

<Mr. King gave us an access code that'll get us into the main computer.  Everybody
memorize it:  six.>  -Jake
<Six?>  -Rachel
<Six.>  -Jake
<You know, I'm sure the Pemalites were wonderful people and all, but using a single digit security code?  I mean, good grief, what a bunch of idiots.>  -Rachel
<They trusted.>  -Cassie
<They're dead.>  -Rachel

"...Jake the reluctant leader.  Jake, the oh-so-tiresomely decent one.  A sanctimonious killer:  my least favorite kind."  -Drode
...<All right.  What is that?>  -Tobias
<That is not a species I recognize.>  -Ax
<I don't know what species it is, but I think we'd better report it to the
Prune Grower's Association.>  --Marco
"Oh, Marco the funny one!  How's Mommy, Marco?  Is she alive or is she dead?  Does she scream with the Yeerk in her head?...All here together?  Cassie, the hypocrite?  'I don't believe in violence...except when I do.'  Aximili, the pitiful, pale shadow of his brother?  If only you'd insisted on going with Elfangor, maybe he'd have lived.  Too bad.  And Tobias, oh, yes, Tobias.  The boy not really so trapped as a bird, eh, but too gutless to resume his life as human?  And Rachel.  My very favorite Animorph...Rachel, Rachel.  Do you feel the adrenaline rush of murderous desire?  Do you feel the urge to reach out and destroy me?  Of course you do."
--Drode
