* When Harry is kidnapped by the Denarians. Shiro comes to his rescue, opening up the negotiations by [[CrowningMomentOfAwesome slicing up 3 mooks, knocking Deidre to the ground and putting a sword to her throat in the space of about 2 seconds]]. Harry's delirious (due to having been kept in a cold storage room for several hours AFTER getting the crap beat out of him) reaction to Shiro's badass entrance? He starts singing the ''{{Underdog}} theme tune''.
-->'''Harry:''' Speed of lightning! Roar of thunder! Fighting all who rob or plunder! Underdog!

** This requires a little bit of context: Harry has just agreed to let Thomas stay with him a bit. In addition, he has spent most of the book accompanied by Mouse, who at this point is a little puppy who has been riding comfortably in Dresden's coat pocket. The line above comes at the end of a paragraph where Harry is musing that sure, it's going to be a little tighter of a fit in his small apartment with Thomas around, but it won't be so bad, ending his monologue with a note that Mouse won't take up much room. Then Thomas gets home with the groceries.

---> '''Marcone''': I am under no illusions about your fondness for myself and my business. I regard it as a preventative measure. In my judgment, my buildings are considerable less likely to burn to the ground during one of your bisits if you are disoriented from being treated like a sultan.

Added Marcone quote from White Night

Added DiffLines:

*** The previous quote, a CMOF for Harry, was a result of showing up at one of "Gentleman" Johnny Marcone's businesses, particularly a brothel posing as a health club. Harry was greeted at the door with a Platinum membership package. When pressed for a reason why, Marcone delivers his CMOF:
---> '''Marcone''': I am under no illusions about your fondness for myself and my business. I regard it as a preventative measure. In my judgment, my buildings are considerable less likely to burn to the ground during one of your bisits if you are disoriented from being treated like a sultan.

* The entropy curse. In the middle of a melee, Harry channels the curse--a very nasty spell that alters probability to cause fatal accidents--away from its intended target and toward a vampire that's currently attacking his side. A moment later, the vamp is crushed. By a twenty-pound frozen turkey falling from the sky. The drumstick tips wrapped in red tinfoil. ''And then the timer dings.''

** But especially "Someone needs to explain to this guy that if you simultaneously carry a katana and wear a trenchcoat, you're a dork..." Hah. {{Take THAT}} [[FinalFantasy7 Sephiroth]]!
*** Sure he's not referring to [[{{Highlander}} Connor McLeod of the Clan McLeod]]? Who was carrying a katana and wearing a trenchcoat 20 years earlier?
*** It's probably a reference to cliche World of Darkness and Shadowrun characters.
** Or when Harry complains that if "Jim B." is his player in real life, he needs to roll better.
** There's a section dealing with the idea that having Harry around could potentially interfere with storylines, and that in that case it might be easier to run the game if you kill him off in the background, with a list of ways this could have happened. Harry, naturally, [[HighOctaneNightmareFuel is not amused]], and his [[http://i54.tinypic.com/2iia90o.png comments on the subject]] are likely to induce slightly nervous, uncomfortable giggling. Crowning Moment of MoodWhiplash?
** "Do not fight Happy Fun Merlin. Back away slowly."
* Harry Complaining about the capricious dick of a GM he's got.
