Hot Mama quotable quotes

Check out these quotes made by some of the city's most notable superheroes, ubervillains, and citizens in Hot Mama, the second Bigtime book:

The heroes say ...

"It was easy to get your way when you had the ability to shoot fire out of your fingertips. Getting my way was one of the prime benefits of being a superhero. My favorite benefit."

– Fashion designer Fiona Fine, aka Fiera,

a member of the Fearless Five, on the perks of being a superhero

"Those bitches ruined my wedding. They should pay."

– Carmen Cole, aka Karma Girl, on ubervillains Siren and Intelligal

crashing her wedding to Sam Sloane

“Honey, you’re going to have to do a lot better than that. Your two-bit persuasive thing might work on weak-willed, sex-starved men, but not me. Where’d you learn that trick anyway? Hookers High?”

– Fiera, mocking Siren as the ubervillain attempts

to control Fiera with her hypnotic voice

"Well, you don’t have to, of course. We could go after the ubervillains by ourselves. But since you’re the strongest and since we’re down two members, it might be a good idea for you to come in. You do have the most firepower, after all."

– Henry Harris, aka Hermit, to Fiera, trying to get her to help the rest of the Fearless Five hunt down Siren and Intelligal

“I don’t want to scratch it. I want to completely destroy it. Think big fireball. Think catastrophic damage. Think crumpled lump of charred, twisted metal. That’s what I’m aiming for.”

– Fiera, on her blazing desire to destroy

ubervillain Intelligal's supposedly indestructible Intellichair

"Well, I guess you acquitted yourself nicely, Fiera. Even without your friends’ help.”

– Swifte, the city's speediest hero, complimenting Fiera

on fighting off Siren and Intelligal by herself

"I always do."

– Fiera, back to Swifte

The villains talk back ...

"I do hope you all will forgive my rude outburst. I do so want to make a good impression on everyone, being so new in town. I’ve heard such lovely, lovely things about Bigtime and all of you. I just want to fit in.”

– Siren, using her voice to mind control

the crowd at the wedding of Carmen Cole and Sam Sloane

"Oh, get on with it, Siren. Quit showing off."

– Intelligal, trying to hurry her cohort in crime along at the wedding

"You always spoil my fun."

– Siren, snapping back at Intelligal

“You again! Can’t you go burn a kitten out of a tree or something?”

– Intelligal, to Fiera after unexpectedly running into the superhero

“Just think, in a few minutes, we’ll own this city and everyone and everything in it. No more skulking around abandoned factories. No more taking shit from Bigtime’s high and mighty. We’ll be the ones in control. Permanently.”

– Siren, bragging about her plan to take over the city to Intelligal

Other noteworthy citizens ...

"Oh, I’m all of those things. Rich, spoiled, a playboy. But I happen to like parks. Posh art galleries are so boring."

– Johnny Bulluci, extolling the virtues

of walking through Paradise Park to Fiona Fine

"Well, forgive me for thinking."

 – Lulu Lo, Bigtime's best computer hacker to Fiera, pointing out how

Lulu would follow the F5 team around and get them to lead her to

Siren and Intelligal instead of searching for the ubervillains herself

“You know I’ve long been a fan of your work, Fiera. Your fireballs are most impressive. The intensity of the heat, the explosion on impact, the massive damage they cause. I’d trade my explodium bombs for them in a second.”

 – Jasper, Bigtime's preeminent bombmaker to Fiera

"I look like a ghost in white and utterly washed out in ivory. Pale pink? Disgusting. Besides, it’s not like I’m some sweet young thing who’s never been with a man. I’ve been around the block, several times, and we all know it."

 – Joanne James, Bigtime's black widow divorcee

on choosing a color for her sixth and latest wedding dress

"Explodium has become rather passé this last year. Everybody’s working with it these days, and you can practically buy it on the street corner. But this, this is something special. I call it obliteron.”

– Jasper, on his newest explosive invention
