Book 42-The Journey

<Give us the power source now and we will kill you quickly!  Hesitate and we will prod
you with sharp sticks before you die!>
--a Helmacron

"Excuse me, are you planning to have a BATTLE in my NOSE?!"
"You have a better suggestion?"
"No."
--Marco, Rachel

"Oh, sure.  Make yourselves at home.  Just try to be neat.  Think of it as the National Nose Land.  Keep it in good shape for generations to come."
--Marco

<I may be more useful up Marco's nose.>
"That didn't sound too weird."
--Ax, Marco

"Hey, Marco.  From this angle you actually look tall."
"Hey--cool!"
"Too bad you can't shrink the whole school."
"Ha-ha.  And, free this month only, a bonus ha."
--Rachel, Marco

<I care not for our goo-encrusted knight!  But we know not what lies ahead.  Perhaps the muck extends through the enitre alien!>
<Excuse me, but what?>
<Goo and muck.  What little boys are made of.>
--Helmacron, Jake, Tobias

<Most animals with lungs have mucus.  Andalites have it, too.>
<Isn't that special?>
--Ax, Rachel

I felt strangely abandoned.  Weird when you consider three people, a Bird-boy, an Andalite, and a bunch of Helmacrons were holding a convention in my sinuses.
--Marco

<Surrender now!  Surrender and we'll let you live as our defiled beasts of burden.  Resist us and--and we'll sneeze in your general direction!>
<Very original.>
--Jake, Tobias

Besides, how many suburban girls get to travel down a human vein as a tiny hammerhead shark?  Disney has nothing on the Animorphs.
--Rachel

<It's like Rachel at a fifty-percent-off sale at The Gap.  Resistance is futile.>
--Cassie

<Eenie, meenie, minie, moe?>
<You really have been on Earth too long.  You'll never fit in on the Andalite
home world now.>
<I would miss Saturday morning cartoons.>
--Ax, Rachel

<Great.  Follow that red blood cell.>
--Jake

<Even though I was dripping copious amounts of blood, I performed like a brave and stalwart knight and marched down the ladder of rattling steel.  Then I rode home on my trusty purple steed.>
--Marco
