Jinx quotable quotes

Check out these quotes by some of the city's most notable superheroes, ubervillains, and citizens in Jinx, the third book in the Bigtime series:

The heroes say ...

"But there was nothing I hated more than superheroes and ubervillains. Dressing up in those silly costumes. Calling themselves absurd names. Plotting and scheming and planning elaborate ways to take over the city and rule the world. It was all so dramatically ridiculous. C’mon. Who would want to rule the world, really? It’d be nothing but a giant headache, with everyone constantly whining and crying at you. Not to mention all the paperwork and demands on your free time."

– Fashion designer Bella Bulluci on her dislike

of superheroes and ubervillains

"But I'm Debonair."

– Debonair, a teleporting art thief and notorious playboy

on why Bella Bulluci should go out with him

"I’d never understood why people felt the need to be nasty to each other. Or call themselves weird names. Or dress up in spandex. Sometimes, I didn’t understand very much at all about life in Bigtime."

– Bella Bulluci, after witnessing a cat fight between

Hannah Harmon and Joanne James, two of Bigtime's wealthiest women

“And what about you, Bella? Do you like spandex? Or are you more of a whips-and-chains kind of girl?”

– Debonair, asking Bella about her preferences

The villains talk back ...

“Shut up or I’ll knock out your teeth."

– Hangman, threatening Bella Bulluci

“Where’s the stone? Tell me now, and I’ll make your death quick and mostly painless. Otherwise, I’ll give you to Prism. She won’t be

nearly as pleasant as I am.”

– Hangman, threatening Bella Bulluci again

“By dawn, I’ll bring Bigtime to its knees. I’ll own this city and everything and everyone in it. Who knows? If you’re lucky, I just might let you live long enough to see my plan reach its inevitable, triumphant conclusion.”

– Prism, bragging about her plan to take over Bigtime

“One billion dollars transferred to a bank account of my choosing. A statue of me erected in the middle of the downtown district. Every street renamed after me. A public declaration by the Fearless Five on SNN acknowledging that I beat them at their own game. You know, all the usual stuff.”

– Prism, ticking off her list of demands

Other noteworthy citizens ...

"I’m so sick of the people in this town. They think they’re so special just because they’ve had money for a couple of generations. They try to pretend like they never had to work. Or if they did, that everything was always by the book and perfectly legal. They’re nothing but a bunch of phonies. Fakes. Liars. They’ve all got skeletons and secrets in their closets. They’re no better than me. Not a single one of them. One day, they’ll realize it.”

– Hannah Harmon, a wealthy businesswoman

expressing her frustration with Bigtime society politics

"Henry does just fine in the fantasy department. He can do more with his fingers than just type really, really fast, if you know what I mean. Lots more. But there’s always room for improvement.”

 – Lulu Lo, Bigtime's best computer hacker to Bella Bulluci,

asking about the fashion designer's encounter with sexy art thief Debonair

“We got information on the ubervillains, figured out more or less what they’re up to, found the blueprints to their ultimate-evil device, and got Bella some brand-new, supercharged explosives. I think we’re good.”

– Lulu Lo, talking to Jasper, Bigtime's preeminent bombmaker

“Well, there is the small matter of my fee.”

 – Jasper, back to Lulu
