My favourite goes a little something like this:
Quick meets Bauchelain and Korbal Broach in MOI.
Quick: *UNLEASHES WARRENS, WALLOPS KORBAL*
Bauchelain: Impressive, but now you're dead. You really should have held something back to deal with me.
Quick: Actually, I did. *UNLEASHES WARRENS, WALLOPS BAUCHELAIN*
All Class.

My favorite is either him going against Icarium or when he lets loose in Coral in MoI.

My favourite is when he goes to save his sister. I know, its a kind of soppy one to choose but it shows a softer side to him.

The Bauchelain sequence was great but I'm also partial to him making fall Kallor in a hole and defeating the Edur fleet with an illusion.

Dust of Dreams finale:
Hedge's line sent me to moon and back with its power closed in only five words.
Quote
'Gods, what was that?'
Hedge's grin broadened. 'That, soldiers, was Quick Ben.'

Not sure which book - must be Bonehunters
Kalam finds Quick hiding between crates in the ships cargo when Tavore is looking for him. They have a short conversation dealing with weather they should follow Tavore or not ending something like:
Kalam - 'So what do we do?'
Quick Ben slides over 'Look, there's room.'
Considering how powerful both these characters are, especially when teamed up... I thought them hiding between crates priceless.
Cheesy - I know.
I like cheese.

You live in a damned tower!
It's... expected of me. Isn't it?...

Mine is from DoD.
It just sums him up perfectly.

For me it's got to be Reaper's Gale, as much as that seems like the most obvious answer. The battle with the Soletaken sisters is just so well done, everything from the way he and Hedge are bickering beforehand to the part where he unleashes and tears three dragons out of the sky. The fact that it's followed up later by one of my favorite QB related lines from none other than the Errant is icing on the cake - when the Errastas is thinking about the coming convergence, he says something along the lines of "a horrifying mage approaching from the north."
The battle in DoD was great too, especially the part where he "sets the air on fire."

I have to say when him and Kalam are hiding from Tavore in BH is my favourite, along with his bickering with Hedge in RG. I just find the irony that despite Hedge dying, and then coming back, only to have them not even be the slightest bit humbled by the fact amusing.
Here is a series that will for ever inspire me. Not only as a writer, but as a person. Mr. Erikson has shown us both sides to the human condition. He has shown even the lost, the destitute, the forgotten and unwitnessed can triumph.
