The Alloy of Law/Funny

"Wax: I once shot the tail off a dog by mistake. It's kind of a funny story. Steris: Shooting dogs is hardly appropriate dinner conversation. Wax: I know. Particularly since I was aiming for its balls."
 * Spook's dialect has become High Imperial, the local equivalent of Latin.
 * We have this gem of a conversation:

"Wax: "Logic doesn't work on Wayne." Wayne: "I bought a ward against it from a traveling fortuneteller, it lets me add two an' two and get a pickle." Marasi: "I... have no response to that.""
 * , after getting his gun shot out of his hand for the fourth time: "Stop doing that! You bast--"
 * This one speaks for itself really.

"Wayne: "I got quite near my entire rusted back blown off earlier, if you'll kindly remember and I didn't hear nearly an ounce of the sympathy you're showin' him." Marasi: "That's different." Wayne: "What? Why? Cuz' I can heal?"
 * The fact that aluminum's Anti-Magic properties mean that wearing a foil hat to prevent mind control actually works.
 * This conversation after Wax gets injured.

Marasi: "No, because even after knowing you only a short time, I'm fairly certain that on one level or another you deserve to get blown up every now and again.""


 * Wayne and Waxillium in a Slider bubble, arguing about how they're going to escape the explosion frozen in time about 10 feet away. While Marasi keeps chanting "It's getting bigger...Guys, it's coming closer...".
