I actually think this is the funniest piece of dialogue in the whole series, but i've been unable to relocate it.

Does anyone know the quote i'm talking about?

Direct me to a page number perhaps?

His funniest comments are during the cardgame they think he's cheating, and when he claims Whiskeyjack is calling him to have a drink.

Gods, I laughed my ass off with Kruppe.

I just spent so long looking for my GotM and I can't find it.. but in a nutshell its like

"Friend K'Rull, have you ever had the pleasure of seeing Kruppe dance?"
"No"
"Then.... WITNESS"

So great. My fiance is so mad that im running around the house looking for gardens of the moon instead of listening to her day at work. wops

Spoiler


PG-10 Toll the Hounds - Bantam Paperback
Lives and loves, the gamut of existence was marked by such things. A breaking of paths, the ragged, uneven ever-forward stumble. Blood dried, eventually. Turned to dust. The corpses of kings were laid down and sealed in darkness and set away, to be forgotten. Graves were dug for fallen soldiers, vast pits like mouths in the earth, opened in hunger, and all the bodies were tumbled down, each exhaling a last gasp of lime dust. Survivors grieved, for a time, and looked upon empty rooms and empty beds, the scattering of possessions no-one possessed any longer, and wondered what was to come, what would be written anew on the wiped-clean slate. Wondering, how can I go on?

Yep, you're talking about the one from MoI, I just read that chapter a few days ago.

Chapter 20

"Carelessly constructed, Kruppe allows, yet none of you have ever seen Kruppe dance! And dance he can, with breathtaking artistry and grace - nay! He glides like an unbroken egg on a greased skillet. Stumble? Fall? Kruppe? Never!"
