Yesterday, I wrote a line that just blew me out of my chair with laughter. It wasn't a humorous line; it was written in complete seriousness.
Shouted into her ear. Into a microphone. At something. Into her eye was not expected.
Anyone else have lines that they never expected to write?

LOL! I've had those, but I can't recall them at the moment. I'm currently plotting a few, though. Something about the gentle, innocent unicorn saying softly, "I'm going to kill someone."

Can't think of a specific example, but there have been a handful when I'm writing form a female POV.

Aaron: That actually sounds hilariously sexist. :-D

All I've got is "The little voices in your head are driving ME crazy!" (telepathic character to non telepathic character).

Now that's one I wish I'd thought of.

You and me, God, we kick root!" It was supposed to be we kick butt. But the battle was against vampiric vegetation, so I kept root. |

Metal: LOL! That's hilarious! I had a pretty good zinger the other night. The main character is talking to her ghoul, Fright.
Fright sobered. "You can tell Scrull everything I said, if you like. I don't think he'll believe you. He thinks I'm untrustworthy."
Fina hurried back toward town. "Only because you screw up his readings every time he tries to use his crystal ball."
Fright floated behind her like a chilly breeze. "What, because I make faces at him? Hey, ghouls just want to have fun."

Kessie: good one!
Stormiel: Belongs on a t-shirt.
I was thinking about a story that will probably never be written the other night. It takes place in a war-torn world where bigamy has recently become legal (as a necessity, too few men to go around). Inza is a victim of spousal abuse who takes her son and leaves her husband, Eric. She seeks help from a married co-worker named Kent. Kent agrees to help, but to have any standing in the community, Inza must quickly remarry after her divorce. That means Kent must take her as a second wife. Eric calls on the phone and tries to get her back with threats, cajoling, and coercion.
Eric: You know you'll be little more than a concubine to him.*
Inza: I would rather be his concubine than your wife!
*Actually not true. The thrust of the story would be Kent trying to treat both wives and all children as equals, and his first family feeling slighted.

I'm cracking up reading everyone's line. The faces in the crystal ball was awesome. Now that you mention t-shirts, I'm hoping that line of mine actually was original. I did search to make sure and I wasn't able to find it. As far as I know I didn't copy it lol.
