"Man, you weigh a freaking ton," he told me. "What've you been eating, rocks?"

"Why, is your head missing some?" I croaked. His mouth almost quirked in a smile, and that's when I knew how upset he'd been"

"Holy [Insert your choice of a swear word here]," said Fang stunned."

"You were designed to be very smart, Max,' she told me. 'We electrically stimulated your synaptic nerve endings while your brain was developing.' (The director)

And yet I still can't program my DVD player,' I said." (Max)"

"They [Erasers] were bad fliers," Angel chimed in, "And in their minds, they weren't all kill the mutants, like they usually are. They were like, remember to flap!"

"De tall, dark vun--dere's nothing special about him at all," ter Borcht said dismissively of Fang, who hadn't moved since the doctor had come in.

Well, he's a snappy dresser," I offered. One side of Fang's mouth quirked."

"I don't damsel well. Distress, I can do. Damseling? Not so much."

"And you're blind?"

Uh-huh," Iggy said, trying to sound bored.

Were you born that way?"

No."

How did you become blind, uh, Jeff, is it?"

Yeah, Jeff. Well, I looked directly at the sun, you know, the way they always tell you not to. If only I had listened."

"Fang! Come Back!" I started pulling his hair. Shaking his head and shoulders. Hard. "Wake up! Snap out of it! You stupid jerk! I am going to kill you if you die on me!"

― James Patterson, Fang

"You mean other than the wings? I once ate nine snicker bars in a row without barfing. It was a record."

― James Patterson

"There is one bright side to this," said Fang.

Yeah? What's that?" The new and improved Erasers would mutilate us before they killed us?

He grinned at me so unexpectedly I forgot to flap for a second and dropped several feet. "You looove me," he crooned smugly. Holding his arms out wide he added, "You love me this much."

My shriek of appalled rage could probably be heard in California, or maybe Hawaii."

― James Patterson, Max

"And Flock Rule Number Two is, Don't argue with Max or you'll live to regret it." I spun and stomped out to the clearing, turning back for one last jab at Dylan. "And by the way, you clearly DON'T know me better than Fang does. Do you see Fang arguing with me? No, you do not."

Fang rolled his eyes."

― James Patterson

"I stood my ground. "You evil scientist are all the same--evil. Count me out."

Fang and I brushed past Mr. God and walked quickly but smoothly to the exit. It was barely noon, and I'd already made a huge enemy.

Dang, I'm good."

― James Patterson, Fang

"you're a diabolical little pyro, aren't you?

He blushed modestly."

― James Patterson

"Oh great. Yoda captured us."

"If you're ever feeling a lack of middle-aged white men, just pop into the Capitol. Not so much the House of Representatives, which has a bit more color and texture, but the Senate -- jeez. Yes, let's have more testosterone running the country.

Maximum Ride, School's Out--Forever"

"Yeah, and so Max and Dylan are supposed to, like, go to Germany and have kids together," I heard Gazzy say.

My eyes popped open and I bolted upright.

"What?" Fang said, his voice icy.

"Gazzy!" I yelled.

Wide blue eyes looked at me in surprise, then back at Fang's stoic face. "Oh. Was I not supposed to say anything?" Gazzy asked."

― James Patterson

"Yeah, you're sitting in a tree because you're fine. That's easy to see. I can't believe this is Maximum Ride, destroyer of despots, warrior hottie, leader of the flock! All you need now to make yourself more pathetic is a pint of Ben and Jerry's ice cream!"

― James Patterson, Angel

"Then, Holden, the little Fang gang kid, came out of nowhere with an apparent death wish. He raced directly toward the maniac with the gun shrieking something that sounded like " I am Starfishhh!"

― James Patterson

"I looked around. As flock leader, everyone was expecting me to make a decision. Jeb's presence here would bring uncertainty, chaos, probably danger.

It would perk up my day."

― James Patterson, Angel

"You're a fridge with wings. We're freaking ballet dancers! -Fang"

― James Patterson, School's Out-Forever

"What?" I said, suspicion starting to rise in me. "When did they start coming after you?"

"Was it- was it after the oil-slick Hummer crash?" the Gasman asked Iggy tentatively.

My eyes widened. Oil-slick Hummer crash?

Iggy rubbed his chin, thinking.

"Or maybe it was more- after the bomb," the Gasman said in a low voice, looking down.

"I think it was the bomb," Iggy agreed. "That definitely seemed to tick them off."
