You know, Miss Holly, you look very dramatic like that, backlit by the fire. Very attractive, if I may say so. I know you shared a moment passionne with Artemis which he subsequently fouled up with his typical boorish behavior. Let me just throw something out there for you to consider while we're chasing the probe: I share Artemis's passion but not his boorishness. No pressure; just think about it. This was enough to elicit a deafening moment of silence even in the middle of a crisis, which Orion seemed to be blissfully unaffected by.
Sounded like girls. Mixed feelings on that score. He didn't despise them with the same passion he used to. In fact, Benny suspected that there would come a time in the not-too-distant future when he might develop a mysterious interest in them.
I'm kind of in the dark. All I know is that the screenplay is finished.
I can invent my own creatures and give them their own powers. It was great fun.

The only lesson I really wanted to get across,
I'm LEP. A captain. No rent-a-cop gnome is going to stand in the way of my orders.
If Koboi defeats and presumably murders us both then you can consider the debt null and void.
Listen to me, goblin. You're stupid, let's accept that and move on.
A pity to survive night flights over St. Georges Channel only to crack my skull falling from a ladder.
If it looks like a Dwarf, and it smells like a Dwarf, then it's probably a Dwarf or a latrine wearing dungerees.
What's that supposed to mean? A wolf's head on a stick. Big wolf barbecue tonight? Bring your own wolf?
And one more thing. About my name — Artemis — you were right. In London, it is generally a female name, after the Greek goddess of archery. But every now and then a male comes along with such a talent for hunting that he earns the right to use the name. I am that male. Artemis the hunter. I hunted you.
(about his terrible attempt at making a sandwich) It's more difficult than it looks. (Artemis Fowl)
