Every so often, when you were gazing into the fetid swamp of Lamb's personality, a fin broke the surface.

"Okay", Lamb had said, "Let's bring him in."
"On whose authority?", Louisa asked.
"I wasn't suggesting you stuff him in the back of a van", Lamb said. "Just ask him nicely."
"And if he refuses?"
"Stuff him in the back of a van", said Lamb.
"We haven't got a van", Shirley pointed out.
Lamb looked at Marcus.
"What? It's not a van."

A uniformed policeman stood there, observing Lamb's approach with the wary contempt a street copper feels for the Funny Brigade. "Help you sir," he said: three bare words, neither question nor statement. Lamb might as well have pulled a string on his back.
In place of an answer, Lamb produced the belch that had been brewing for the past five minutes.
"Very convincing, sir. But I'm going to need to see something laminated."

Klyne: ...this room is a compactor. The walls are moving towards us.
Chambers: It's going to crush us?
Klyne: No. The walls will stop short of that. It simply positions the refuse in the center.
Chambers: Oh. Okay. Okay...
Klyne: So that the floor can open and drop everything into the plasma furnace below.
Chambers: WHAT?!

Imagine writing a note this sinister and feeling the need to put quotation marks around "alive", almost like a little wink to yourself.
This channel has covered a lot of really shitty people. And there comes a point where it's sort of bad taste to try and rank evil. But, in terms of an individual whose nastiness seems to seep through in everything that they do right down to their pen strokes…. he really is something else.

In my entire life, I've only been murdered twice. And both times were in a lake. That's absurd, right?

Neal: Aren't you so excited to see him talk?
Barjory: Yeah, I can't wait for what I'll be thinking about instead of listening.

As I came towards the iron door, there was another distinct (I had almost said hurried) sound. The impression on my mind was one of great haste. When I reached the door, and held the candle near the lock to take out the key, I perceived that the other one, which hung by a short string to its fellow, was vibrating slightly. I should have preferred not to find it vibrating, as there seemed no occasion for such a course; but I put them both into my pocket, and turned to go back to my work. As I turned, I saw on the ground what had occasioned the louder noise I had heard, namely, a skull which had evidently just slipped from its place on the top of one of the walls of bones, and had rolled almost to my feet. There, disclosing a few more inches of the top of an archway behind, was the place from which it had been dislodged. I stooped to pick it up, but fearing to displace any more skulls by meddling with the pile, and not liking to gather up its scattered teeth, I let it lie, and went back to my work, in which I was soon so completely absorbed that I was only roused at last by my candles beginning to burn low and go out one after another.

"Brian, are we really standing in a Walgreen's parking lot, passing out guns so we can find an underground complex and shoot monsters?"
Brian nodded, "That's right."
"Okay", John said, "Just wanted to clarify."

So much of the story didn't make sense and that was because it was all bullshit. There was never a stalker. There was no masked person seeking to harm Joyce by killing the family of her bodyguard. It had obviously been Chris trying to set up a fall guy so he could kill his family and start a new life with his mistress. The issue was Chris was a fucking idiot whose only knowledge of crime came from movies and heavily dramatized police shows...

All the people in the Kuo-ch'ing monastery—
They say, "Han-shan is an idiot."
"Am I really an idiot?" I reflect.
But my reflections fail to solve the question;
for I myself do not know who the self is,
And how can others know who I am?
Han-Shan, 9th century Chinese poet. Essays in Zen Buddhism, Third Series; translated by D. T. Suzuki.
