Stacey: [trying to sneak into a house undetected] You wanna climb that? [doubtfully points to an old trellis against the house]::Alistair: Well, it looks strong enough to me. [he puts the weight of his foot on a rung and it immediately snaps in two]
Stacey: [Gordon brings Stacey a hatbox to carry the jewels in] Where is the steel-reinforced briefcase with the combination lock? Gordon, what are you trying to do to me?::Gordon: Stacey, get a hold of yourself! There, there silly! No one will think you're carrying anything valuable in a dumb old hatbox. Lots of people carry hatboxes!::Stacey: Only in Doris Day movies.
Stacey: Why is this happening to me? I don't even have the jewels! I don't have ANY jewels! I don't even wear earrings!
Stacey: [talking to herself at the scene of a murder] What did you do in London, Stacey? Well, I lost a fortune in jewels, and discovered a dead body. I was arrested for withholding evidence in a murder investigation. [starts to panic] I really wanted to see Buckingham Palace, but I guess that'll have to wait until I'm on parole!

Eustace: [rummaging through the nearly-empty fridge] There's a plague on this house.
Beatrice: What's the matter now?::Eustace: Just my old war wound acting up again.::Beatrice: What war are we talking about? The Crimean? The Polyponesian?::Eustace: My "war wound"! You know perfectly well what happened! The sofa collapsed while I was watching "Bridge on the River Kwai."
Alistair: [eating an unappetizing dinner] Now you eat your soup or there's no dessert!::Marvin: Promise?
Marvin: [after Alistair flips the car] Way cool driving, dude!
Alistair: [Marvin is snapping photos of a murder victim] Hey! What on earth do you think you're doing? [snatches the camera away] Give that to me!::Marvin: Aw, come on Al! That'll go great in my dead things collection!

Eustace Conway (born Eustace Robinson Conway IV in 1961 in South Carolina) is an American naturalist and the subject of the book The Last American Man by Elizabeth Gilbert and the subject of an early episode of the weekly radio show This American Life. He is the owner of 1,000-acre (4.0 km2) Turtle Island Preserve near Boone, North Carolina.
At the age of 12, Conway lived in the woods for a week. At 17 he moved out of his parents' home entirely so that he could live in a teepee in the woods. He has hiked the entire Appalachian Trail and claims to have set the world record for crossing the United States on horseback from the Atlantic to the Pacific. However, according to the New York Times and Los Angeles Times of the day, as well as the book, Bud & Me, the record for crossing the North American continent on horseback was actually done in 62 days. This journey was made by Bud and Temple Abernathy, aged 11 and 7, who rode 3,619 miles (5,824 km) from New York to San Francisco on an equestrian journey, which started in August, 1911.
Eustace Clarence Mullins, Jr. (March 9, 1923 – February 2, 2010) was a populist American political writer, biographer, and antisemite. His most famous work was The Secrets of The Federal Reserve. Along with Nesta Webster, he is generally regarded as one of the most influential authors in the genre of conspiracism.

In December 1942, at Charlottesville, Virginia he enlisted in the military as a Warrant Officer. He was also a veteran of the United States Air Force, with thirty-eight months active service during World War II.
Mullins frequently visited poet Ezra Pound during his period of incarceration in St. Elizabeths Hospital for the Mentally Ill in Washington, D.C. between 1946 and 1959. According to Mullins it was Pound who set him on the course of research that led to his writing The Secrets of The Federal Reserve

Eustace Clarence Scrubb is a fictional character in C. S. Lewis's Chronicles of Narnia. He appears in The Voyage of the Dawn Treader, The Silver Chair, and The Last Battle. In The Voyage of the Dawn Treader, he is accompanied by Edmund and Lucy Pevensie, his cousins. In The Silver Chair and The Last Battle, he is accompanied by Jill Pole, a classmate from his school.
Eustace is portrayed at first as arrogant, whiny, and self-centered. It can be gathered from Eustace's behavior, and the tone that Lewis used in describing his family and school, that Lewis thought such behavior silly and disliked it a great deal. In fact, at the beginning of The Voyage of the Dawn Treader, Lucy and Edmund dislike visiting him and his parents, though that has mostly to do with Eustace's arrogant and unfriendly attitude. However, in the later books, Eustace is shown as an altogether better person, becoming a hero along with Jill Pole. It is mentioned in the Silver Chair that Eustace is afraid of heights, causing him to overreact when Jill goes too close to the edge of a cliff. In trying to stop her he falls. In other respects Eustace displays great courage and a fair degree of discernment in facing the challenges that confront him in the Narnian world.
