Harry: "I didn't get paid. For either case. I make more money from flaming demon monkey crap. That's just wrong." }}

* [[I Have You Now, My Pretty]]: Lord Raith tries this on Murphy, but [[Action Girl|Murphy]] being [[Cute Bruiser|Murphy]] throws a wrench into his plans.
* [[In Medias Res]]: Harry escapes a burning building carrying a box of puppies while being chased be monkey demons flinging incendiary poo.

* [[The Missus and The Ex]]:
Line 42:
* [[This Is a Sentence Bitch]]: "Get on the bike, bitch."
* [[Tome of Eldritch Lore]]: Subverted. When discussing the mechanics of ritual magic, Harry explains that the White Council pushed to have dark ritual books published and distributed to as many people as possible. When Murphy asks (understandably) why the ''good guys'' would want to do that, he tells her that summoning dark powers through rituals is like water coming out of a pipe. If you have thousands drawing from the same line, it loses all effectiveness because there is not enough power to go around. Hence, the only rituals in the Dresdenverse with overwhelming power are the ones that are kept secret.
* [[You Called Me "X" - It Must Be Serious]]: Murphy tells Dresden's mentor, Ebenezar, to get out of the driver's seat so she can take the wheel and get them to their destination before people die. She is ''not'' polite as she says this. Harry sighs, and asks Ebenezar to take her lead, slipping in the word "sir." Murphy drops her jaw, and everything she is holding at the time, and calls Harry out on this. After a second, Murphy asks Ebenezar again. This time, she is ''very'' polite when asking.
