The Wise Man's Fear/Funny
- "His ass fell off." Best ending ever. Totally deadpan.
- Tempi gets one, himself: "Why is the Maer looking at hairy balls?"
- Elodin gets several as well:
- Tricking Kvothe into helping him trash Master Hemme's room.
- "Wow. Uresh. Your next assignment is to have sex. If you do not know how to do this, see me after class."
- "Master Kvothe, I am trying to wake your sleeping mind to the subtle language the world is whispering. I am trying to seduce you into understanding. I am trying to teach you. Quit grabbing at my tits."
- Getting himself and Kvothe trapped on the roof of the building, in the middle of a storm. Completely naked. The key was in his pants, you see.
- Kvothe's spur-of-the-moment recreation of the poor Chronicler as a (rather badass-sounding, actually) mythic folk hero on an epic quest that will give local storytellers throughout the region material to create an entire ream of stories, much as they've done with Kvothe himself. Bast jumping in to help only makes it better.
- "Good job, Ambrose. You caught him. He stole your fire." Said to Ambrose by Wilem after Kvothe saves some of Ambrose's things from a fire... that he started. One of the people in the street adds, "Yeah, make him put it back!"
- The name of Elodin's class: Introduction to Not Being a Stupid Jackass.
- Before that, Elodin told him it was "the name of the class".
- The Adem's views on fatherhood.
- Even though it's dangerous, Kvothe's immediate reaction to the drug Ambose gave him is rather amusing.

Sim: "Which is worse, stealing a pie or killing Ambrose?" |
