In the hh: HAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH, oops! This is Mattathias head of human resources, there is a terrible fire in this hospital! The fire was set in the library of records by the Baudelaires! We need all assistance to capture them immediately, and when u r finished, you might want to rescue some of the helpless patients trapped in the fire that is all." "The Baudelaire murderers and arsonists, are escaping on a gurney! Capture them at once, also the fire is spreading throughout the hospital u might want to evacuate..."

This one is so stupid and shows just how stupid and ignorant adults can be it's funny. Reporter: What is your name? Olaf: Count Olaf! Random person: Wasn't Count Olaf killed by those 3 horrible children? Reporter: No, that was Count Omar! I should know, I've been covering the whole story! Wouldn't they have heard of Olaf's other crimes that weren't messed up with the name Omar? Like the fake/real marriage in the 1st book?

THH p. 180 "I'm not an idiot," the hook-handed man said, stopping to glare at his fellow associate. "I'm physically handicapped." "Just because you're physically handicapped doesn't mean you're mentally clever," the bald man said. haha! I love that one from TEE ch 3, I think. (I forget the page number) Esme: "I don't have time to put my head together."

Here's another that I found from TEE: "Don't talk nonsense," Esme said crossly. " If we give money to poor people, then they wont be poor anymore."

The root of my troupe fangirlism can be traced to HH:
"I still don't understand why we have to murder her in front of all those doctors..." "So it can look like an accident, you idiot! Just because you're physically handicapped doesn't mean you're mentally clever." "And just because you're wearing an ugly wig doesn't mean you can insult me!"
And then they agree to work out their personal problems later like chapters from a self-help booklet. Awww.
Also, Violet's quote in CC about how maybe she and Olaf aren't that different at all was rock-awesome. Next thing you know she'll turn around and bam, Olaf was in her head all along and she was the one who was setting all those fires! Whoa, I think I just solved the rest of the series.

It probably means the person who was driving the car which was carrying the coffin in some way lost control of the car that was carrying the coffin making it crash into something it wasn't supposed to.

"Even though S.O.R.E was only an acronym for Special Orphan Running Exercises, it seemed to fit. After one full night of S.O.R.E they'd been sore all day."
