What is the best line/s you've written recently?

That's a fun one :-)
Earlier this month, I finished a romance novel and sent it off to my editor (Hoping she can help me title the darn thing!).My two protagonists are Becca, a never-married single mom facing empty nest as her daughter leaves for college, and David, a widower who hasn't been having the best luck putting himself back out there for dating.
When David talks about how online dating is going for him, his good friend Luisa tells him:
“Right, but the thing is—we’re not looking for ‘nice,’ honey. We’re looking for spice!”
That line has been a hit with my critique partners, so I'm hoping it'll get a grin from my readers, too, when I release the book this spring.
The other thing I've been working on is a Menopausal Superheroes short story for an upcoming anthology (Disruptive Intent--now up for backing on Kickstarter!).
The working title is "She Chose Anger" and it centers around Patricia O'Neill, the Lizard Woman of Springfield. She's famously curmudgeonly and brooks no nonsense, which makes her great fun to write.
My favorite line in this story so far:
Patricia sighed. Why were the bystanders always just standing by? If they’d just panic and run away, preferably far away from the bad guy, this would all be so much easier. It was harder to fight when you had to worry about innocents getting hurt in the process.
So, that's my October fun on the page. How about you? Write or read any good lines lately? I'd love to hear about them in the comments!
