Removing Flame Bait.


* Mr. Nutt in general, being a humble erudite who has memorized the contents of several ''libraries'', but also is incredibly strong and wise. It would make for an annoying CanonSue CantArgueWithElves reaction... if he was actually an elf, that is. But the best example would have to be towards the end, right after the climax of the book, before the laugh -- when surrounded by a mob of people chanting Orc! Orc!, expecting to see him react in... ''[[TheStoic some]] [[UnstoppableRage fashion]]'', they slowly stop when he just doesn't. He then politely addresses them over a megaphone, proving that he finally understands Ankh-Morpork's working class football culture.

* This book manages to create a CMOH and a CMOA at the same time with just three words: [[spoiler: "I have worth."]]

-->'''Mr. Nutt:''' Gentlemen. Yes, indeed, I am [[spoiler:an orc]] and will always be one. And may I say that it's been a privilege to play here today and to see you all. But I do gather now that being [[spoiler:an orc]] in this city may be seen as something of a problem to some of you. So I would ask you to excuse me if I request that this matter be sorted out between us now.\\

* Mr. Nutt's interview with the reporter. She was being a snot about the fact that he was [[spoiler:an orc]], and he pulled her chain with the first three answers. Then she asked him why the lads thought he was such a great trainer, and he launched into a page of monologue touching on 4-space physics, vaguely Germanic philosophy, teamwork, and some fairly deep metaphysics.

** [[spoiler: FridgeBrilliance: Vetinari ''absolutely is drunk'' - he's just ''very good'' at acting sober. To the point where the only noticeable difference is that he's ''more talkative'' and his pseudo-Sudoko solving skills aren't quite as good as usual (although still frighteningly impressive). Which makes one wonder what ''else'' he might be hiding under that facade...]]

* How about "Ball lost! Substitute ball!"? Remember... the ball shall be called the ball, and if it's played with as the ball by three players (i. e. Nobbs (no relation), Nutt, and Trev). [[spoiler: Even if it is a tin can, or the severed head of one of the players]].

* The captain (and TokenGoodTeammate) of the opposing team who just lost to the wizards, takes his time to make sure that the match actually is over, compliments the wizards on their performance, and then around, decks Andy (with an arm toed as being pretty muscular from carrying around slabs of meat all day) and publicly calls out Andy for his cheating and resorting to violence.
