I found that one major cliche was, if silk says "trust me" somebody always always always says "not If I can hep it" usually belgarath

aebo06 · 20th January 2007, 05:17 AM

Others used to say "Trust me"...not just Silk, right?

devilsgrin · 22nd January 2007, 11:59 AM

no just silk... belgarath said it once to Silk - at which silk was quite unimpressed...

aebo06 · 24th January 2007, 09:41 PM

nvm, i thought that garion said something once...

devilsgrin · 26th January 2007, 08:36 AM

hmmm, if i think about it a little more... It seems that in general only Silk says it regularly. Belgarath and i believe Velvet and Polgara also throw it in his teeth once each. garion may have used it on Belgarath once too.

Don't quote me, but I think Talen said it a couple of times too, or something similar at least.

I know what you mean about the race thing! :P
It's like people aren't different.

Imagine i said that all English are posh.
All Americans are fat.
All French are Gay.

It's like they dont have a choice in anything.
I THINK THE MOST ANNOYING PART IN THE BOOKS WERE WHEN BELGARION WAS TALKING To ..err who was it.. Leldorin? (Not read them for years) and Garion was upset by the sight of the serfs and Leldorin was like.. SERFS ARE SUPPOSED TO BE LIKE THATTTT

I mean.. well annoying

DOIII

lelldorin's rather casual response to garion's serf issues was more along the lines, of shrugging and saying "they're all like that" - about the serf village and "they're not my serfs." so he can't change their situation.

Can't believe that the 'Why me' comment has been forgotten about.

Talysia · 2nd February 2007, 12:47 PM

There's a lot of eye-rolling, too... (She says, rolling her eyes upwards.)

Eternal Salmissra · 15th February 2007, 07:07 PM

'Forget about it'. I got really fed up reading that in the Gariad series and I am now reading it in Althalus, Grrrrr.

Talysia · 15th February 2007, 07:08 PM

Oh yes, that one got on my nerves, too.

Eternal Salmissra · 16th February 2007, 06:01 PM

"Never mind". AAAArrrgh! I hated that never ending quote and it's followed on into Althalus.

Talysia · 18th February 2007, 06:50 PM

I think it's used in The Dreamers series, too.

It isn't quite a sentence, but does David's women not have the habbit that they're "stamping one foot in the ground" when they become angry?
