Line 1:

* Just as Vimes and Carrot arrive on the scene of a recent riot, he says:
{{quote| '''Vimes''': It's over. You can tell by the sudden increase in suspiciously innocent bystanders.}}
* Every time Vimes uses the word 'Vet' when talking to Angua's parents.
* This exchange - which suggests, by the way, that Sam Vimes may be a not entirely unappetizing sight out of uniform.
{{quote| '''First Gloomy Sister''': Have you come here to ravish us?<br />
'''Vimes''': Madam! I am being chased by werewolves!<br />
'''Second Gloomy Sister''': [[Aren't You Going to Ravish Me?|Vill that take all day?]] }}
** On his [[wikipedia:Samuel Vimes|Wikipedia page]], he looks reminiscent of Clint Eastwood. Plus, at the time, he's wearing only half-frozen underpants.
** In ''[[Where's My Cow?]]'' Vimes is referenced from [[Pete Postlethwaite]], which is who Pterry says he imagines him looking like.
* When acting captain Colon realises what a mess he made of things (i.e. he's the only one in the Watch, the rest of the watchmen formed their own guild and are currently on strike)
{{quote| Mister Vimes is going to go completely bursar. He's going to go totally Librarian-poo. }}
* Sam's reaction to [[The Reveal]] of what Sybil has been trying to tell him but continually getting interrupted. Rarely if ever do we see Vimes so completely flabbergasted in canon.
** Immediately followed by him telling her to barricade herself in their room (as there are werewolves after them), and adding, "Without straining yourself!"
Line 18:
* Vimes being plucked from the brink of death-by-werewolves when Carrot, wielding a spear, appears in a sleigh, ''extremely abruptly'', to the point where for three paragraphs in a row all Vimes can do is say "''Carrot?''" before he finally manages "''What the hell are you doing here?''" [[Casual Danger Dialog|Carrot's total nonchalance]] is just icing.
