** (paraphrased from ''Dead Beat'') "You don't get to threaten my friends again...Here's the deal: I've got two Knights of the Cross backing me up. I've got the Winter Queen offering me power. I've got Fallen Angels tripping over themselves to convince me to turn into an instrument of their power. And I'm telling you this: if you ''ever'' threaten any of my friends again, I will ''take'' their offers, and before the dust is settled, I will ''unmake'' you. So, you don't get to threaten my friends to get to me ever again. Got it?"
** In ''Changes'' Harry makes a simple boast to Mab: that she is the ''least'' of the evils that are offering him the power he needs to battle the Red Court, and she needs to decide quickly whether she wants him on her team. This is ''Mab'', ''[[Names to Run Away From Really Fast|Queen of Air and Darkness]]'' herself.
*** A few chapters later, we have Murphy ({{spoiler|who has temporarily taken up the holy katana Fidelacchius}}) stare down no less than fourteen [[Physical GodsGod]]s. What comes next was not exactly her [[Badass Boast]], but rather {{spoiler|the Almighty [[God]] Himself}} speaking through her. Does not at all detract from the badassery.

** The entire epilogue of ''Ghost Story'' involves Harry {{spoiler|discovering Mab kept him alive to serve as her Knight}}, and is summed up as him telling her "Yeah, I'll work for you, but on my terms. ''Deal with it.''"
