Eoin Colfer Quote

Just two short guys home for the holidays.'Loafers bristled.'What do you mean two short guys?'Carla snapped the compact shut.'Who are you talking to, McGuire? Because you couldn't be talking to me. Not in that tone.'Loafers paled, his life flashing before him.'I'm sorry, Miss Frazetti. It's just the short thing. I've been listening to it my whole life.''What do you want people to call you? Lofty? You're short, Loafers. Get over it. That's whatgives you your edge. My godfather always says there's nothing more dangerous than a short guywith something to prove. That's why you've got a job.
