Calculated Risks

Short Stories

  • "The Flower of Arizona":
    • The first meeting between Jonathan and Fran - Jonathan pays Fran a private visit at the Campbell Family Circus, thinking that she's responsible for the deaths that happened along the circus's route, and tries to question her at gunpoint. Fran counters with her throwing knives, which leads to a brief Mexican Standoff - until the Aeslin mouse that came to the circus with Jonathan pops up and declares her the Priestess of Unexpected Violence. Cue Fran dropping her knives in shock.

  • "Target Practice":
    • Enid commenting on Alexander's bad mood following another argument with Jonathan about Alice:
    Enid: Are you planning to be like this through dinner tonight? Because I was going to roast the chicken, but I suppose there’s room for both of us to stew.
    Alexander: [after a long pause] That pun was horrific.
    Enid: I know.
    Alexander: There should be a law.
    Enid: There probably is. But look: you're speaking to me. So if you choose to turn me over to the authorities, I'll go quietly, and feel that I have earned my punishment.

  • "Take the Shot"
    Thomas: You're dead.
    Mary: I know! As it happens, I was one of the first people to figure that out. It’s like I was there when it happened.

  • "Off-Balance"
    Thomas: Forgive me for thinking you would prefer to keep all your appendages. Truly, I am a rude, senseless man, and know not of what I speak.
    • Thomas says Alice doesn't know where all the knives are at his house, which Mary takes to mean that Alice will soon be "rooting around in [his] attic like a giant blonde raccoon" searching for them.
    • Thomas's opinion of Michigan winters:
    Thomas: Were I not so dedicated to being a disappointment to my family name, I would have begged the Covenant to recall me after the seventeenth snowfall in eight days.

  • "All That Glitters"
    • Betty is holding a gun on Thomas and Alice, while Alice has two guns pointed at her.
    Betty: I have a gun. Don’t you know that when someone has a gun, you’re supposed to do what they say?
    Alice: I have two guns. Does that mean you have to listen to me twice as much as I have to listen to you? It’s like Simon Says, only with a lot more bullets.
    Thomas: What kind of games do American children play?
    • Jonathan thinks he's the last sane person in the Healy family. Enid says he's more likely the first sane one, and asks if it gives him a headache.

  • "And Sweep Up the Wood"
    • Alice and Thomas's first time is interwoven with an Extended Disarming. Thomas is mildly offended when she implies he only has three ways to kill a man stashed about his person. And then they get into siege weaponry metaphors.
    Alice: Thomas, for me to be making more blatant advances, I'd have to be moving an entire army into position around your capital city. I didn't think to bring any archers.
    Thomas: And there's definitely no room in your pants for the cavalry. The bedroom it is, then, before you break out the catapults.

  • "Survival Horror"
    • When Antimony and Artie escape The Most Dangerous Video Game, Annie wants to go all the way down to Silicon Valley to punch the hidebehinds who helped the cuckoos make it. Artie's parents are delightfully snarky.
    Jane: Even if we could convince your parents to let us take you to California for the sole purpose of punching people, I can't get the time off work.
    Ted: Your brother would probably let us take Antimony to California in order to punch people. He'd view it as a bonding exercise.
    Jane: No one is crossing state lines in order to commit assault today, all right?

    Antimony: I hate nonviolent solutions.
    Artie: Even the X-Men sometimes resolve things without punching. [Antimony glares at him] I mean, punching would be better, we should really go with punching.
    Ted: See, look there, Annie got her way without punching you, clearly diplomatic methods can work.

    Antimony: That's it? Just 'uninstall the evil software'? We don't even have to kill a chicken?
    Ted: Why would you? It's not like you installed Windows 7.
