Eloise Pritchard talking to Honor about Victor Cachat
in Mission of Honor.



I prefer the one used in Babylon 5

Some of the Senators wanted to pin a medal on you, some wanted to shoot you and a few wanted to pin a medal on you and then shoot you. I can't say that the last suggestion had a certain appeal.


How about this quote

My wife and I want to teach you and Leaf Catcher to talk to each other like we.

Eloise Pritchart musing over the possibility of having Honor strangle a couple of particularly annoying politicians and giving her a Presidential pardon - then realising that, hey, Honor has diplomatic immunity!

Meanwhile, Honor's busy wondering if she could convince Eloise to return to her assassinating ways one last time...

That whole bloody speech was a Crowning Moment of Royal Awesome.

And two from the Honorverse Companion:

If I remember right it went;
"Half my generals want me to give you a kiss on the cheek, and the Medal of Honor. The other half want you taken out and shot. Politics is about compromise, so by all rights I should give you the Medal of Honor, then have you shot. I admit the idea had a certain appeal when I suggested it to my Generals..."

Made even more awesome by being delivered in a pleasant tone, and Russian accent.
