Death interacting with children cracks me up - the department store in Hogfather, and talking to the little girl in Reaper Man (who he then saves from the fire, not even knowing if the two of them will survive the night - chilling).

The End of the Horde aafter the hilarious horse-nicking of the Valkyries!

Reaper man - the Tango with Renata and Death.

Nightwatch where Vimes is talking to Lu Tse and Lu Tse recalls Vimes needs his cigarette case.

Vimes running back to Sybil when he thinks he is in the future Ankh Morpork but isn't.

The one liners in Soul Music!

The 'test/exam' scene in Pyramids. :laugh:
:eek: :eek: :eek:
I've never said that I hate Pyramids. In fact I'm pretty sure I've said how much I enjoy the start of it - the bits in the Assassins' Guild. :p
I agree. That was the best part of Pyramids. :)

Vimes runnning away from the werewolves in fifth elephant.
Summoning a demon with random things in wyrd sisters.
The pamplona in witches abroad.
Super-subliminal imaging in moving pictures.
The crests being painted from life in feet of clay.
The plane in colour of magic. (or is it light fantastic?)

In the cack every which way

Jocasta Wiggs, swimming in the shit, utterly dependent on the goodwill of Sam Vimes, and knowing it.

And knowing that even if he lets her out, this is only the start of her woes.

Having to squelch back accross the City soaking wet, and not just with water. And it's a long walk from Scoone Avenue to Filigree Street. (Vimes will have taken her money for the Watch widows and orphans fund, so she can't even call a cab - and what cab would take her?)

The subsequent debriefing with Miss Alice Band. Nobody can do dark sarcasm in (or out of) the classroom like an Assassins' School Teacher.

The derision of her peers.

And finally the dry-cleaning bill.
