Line 10:
** To make this even more awesome, he does the last part with a longsword through his chest. His response to this is to comment on how he can't seem to keep his shirts from being ruined.
* Heck, William standing up to Lord De Worde in the first place is pretty badass. "The truth has got its boots on," he said, "It's going to start kicking." (A followup to the [[Arc Words]] of "A lie can run halfway around the world before the truth has its boots on.")
* Taking into account his credentials (see ''[[Discworld/Making Money|Making Money]]''), when the New Firm (Mr. Pin and Mr. Tulip) intimidate Mr. Slant, an undead zombie lawyer who ''actually'' prosecuted his own murderers, and subsequently all others who tried it was pretty badass. How do they do this? He's undead. He'll come back again and again. They realize one thing that no-one else did—zombiesdid: zombies are very, very flammable.
* I've always liked William De Worde's final interaction with Lord Ventinari. With a single question he forces Lord Vetinari to attend a social function that he clearly would prefer to miss, made that wedding into possiblepossibly the social event of the year, made his job much easier by filling inches and paid back one Harry King for his previous help with interest.
