The Scorch Trials

The Maze Runner: The Scorch Trials by James Dashner

- “I felt her absence. It was like waking up one day with no teeth in your mouth. You wouldn't need to run to the mirror to know they were gone” 

- “Rose took my nose, I suppose” 

- “The betrayal meant he couldn't trust her anymore, and his heart told him he couldn't forgive her.” 

- “Yeah, right," Minho said. "And Frypan's gonna start having little babies, Winston'll get rid of his monster acne, and Thomas here'll actually smile for once."

Thomas turned to Minho and exaggerated a fake smile. "There, you happy?"

"Dude," he responded. "You are one ugly shank.” 

- “Anybody else wanna pee their pants and cry for mommy?”

- “No. I kind of accepted it, in a way. That saving you was worth losing what we might've had.” 

- “I was just kidding, shuck-face," Minho said. "Let's all go over there. She could have an army of psycho girl ninjas hiding in that shack of hers."

"Psycho girl ninjas?" Newt repeated, his voice showing he was surprised, if not annoyed, by Minho's additude.” 

- “He turned to look just in time to see the rain start falling out as if the storm had finally decided to weep with shame for what it had done to them.”

- “What's going on?" Newt asked, looking back and forth between Thomas and Aris. "Why're you guys looking at each other like you just fell in love?” 

- “Didn't know you could measure distance so well with nothing but you bloody eyeballs” 

- “He whipped out his sheet, then pulled it over himself and wrapped it tightly around his face like an old woman in a shawl. 

'How do I look?'

'Like the ugliest shanky girl I’ve ever seen,' Minho responded. 'You better thank the gods above you were born a dude.'

'Thanks.” 

- “Hunger.

It's like an animal trapped inside you, Thomas thought.” 

- “He didn't care about the others anymore. The chaos around him seemed to siphon away his humanity, turn him into an animal. All he wanted was to survive, make it to that building, get inside. Live. Gain another day.” 

- “Too bad we don't have a flashlight."

"Thanks for stating the obvious, Mr. Thomas," Minho replied.” 

- “...You'd think the little part about them supposedly killing us would be the attention getter.”

- “Rose took my nose, I suppose,” he repeated; the bubble of phlegm in his throat made a disgusting crackle. “And it really blows.”

- “When someone is close by, you just know it.” 

- “Can you do that?” Thomas asked. 

“Huh?”

“Kill someone three times.”

“I’d figure out a way.” 

- “Shuck it,” Minho responded. “I’m tougher than nails. I could still kick your pony-lovin’ butt with twice this pain.” 

Thomas shrugged. “I do love ponies. Wish I could eat one right now.” 

- “Sometimes I wonder," Thomas murmured.
