I "heart" Morelli discussion

Please post comments here

I'll start. This is my second time to read the book. The first time around, I missed this gem:

"Never destined to house the Morelli cars, the garage served other purposes. Old Man Morelli used the garage to take the belt to his sons, his sons used the garage to take their hands to theirselves..."

This one I remember, but it's still funny:

"The next time I saw him, I was three years older. I was on the way to the mall, driving my father's Buick when I spotted Morelli standing in front of Giovichinni's Meat Market. I gunned the big V-8 engine, jumped the curb,and clipped Morelli from behind, bouncing him off the front right fender. I stopped the car and got out to assess the damage. 'Anything broken?'

He was sprawled on the pavement, looking up my skirt. 'My leg.'

'Good', I said. Then I turned on my heel, got into the Buick and drove to the mall.

I attribute the incident to temporary insanity, and in my own defense, I'd like to say I haven't run over anyone since."

Just finished my re-read of One For The Money. I had forgotten how funny this one is. (Other than Lula being beat so badly).

I'm looking forward to reading this one for the first time this month. Providing that my month doesn't run out LOL... A lot going on.

This was such a fun start. I have read it and listened to it on audio (Lori Petty narrates)

Gosh, looks like I missed the boat on this discussion :( Hey, I've just got started on this series and LOVE it. Am only up thru book #4 and have to wait a bit before buying more (have to pace myself). Oh, I adore that scene that Stacy quoted *sigh*

There's so many great scenes in this book, so many LOL moments! Another of my fav scenes was when Morelli rescued Steph from Ramirez and escorts her back to her car later, says to her, "I want to make sure you leave. I want to see your tailpipe fading off into the sunset." Steph thinks: Good luck. My tailpipe was somewhere on Route 1, along with my muffler. And when they reach her car, find it spray-painted in Day-Glo colors, the predominant word on both sides being "pussy". Morelli, with a grin, says, "Most people are content with pinstriping and a vanity plate." Steph replies "Eat dirt and die." LMAO!!!! LOVE it :D
