The Dresden Files RPG Book Quote Scavenger Hunt
MacEanruig:
Might and Rapport, I think:
p. 354 of the softcover of Summer Knight:
I stretched out my hand, adrenaline and pain giving me plenty of fuel for the magic, and called "Ventas servitas!" Wind leapt out in a sudden spurt, seizing the Unraveling and tearing it from Aurora's fingers, sending it spinning through the air towards me. I caught it, stuck my tongue out at Aurora, yelled, "Meep meep!" and ran like hell.

The first is pure unadulterated
Craftsmanship:
"She [Charity] put the hammer over her shoulder, balancing its weight with one arm, and turned to me. She looked ferocious, so armed and armored, and the heavy black stain around her eyes didn't do anything to soften the image. Ferocious, hell. She looked competent-and dangerous.
Everyone just stared at her.
She arched a golden eyebrow,'I make all of my husband's armor,' she said calmly, 'as well as his spare weaponry. By hand.' -PG, 326

For Investigation, from "Death Masks":
Butters cleared his throat and said, "The germs are gone."
"Germs?" I asked.
"In the samples I took from that body. I ran all the checks again just to make sure, and better than half of them turned up negative."
For Fists, from "Blood Rites":
"Hey, Stallings," she said, loudly enough to be heard by the whole gym. "What just happened here?"
The older opponent grinned and said, "O'Toole just got beat up by a girl, Lieutenant."
For Burglary, from "Summer Knight":
You'd be surprised at how far a hat, a box and a confident stride can get you.
For Might, from "Summer Knight":
With one hand, he casually lifted a sofa that had to weigh a couple of hundred pounds and peered under it. I drew back from the door again. Fisticuffs, bad idea. Definitely a bad idea.
Doubtless more to come...

THis could be Intimidation or Presence, depending on how you look at it
"Predators respond to body language. I walked like I was on my way to rip someone's face off."

"They might have been Heaven-on-wheels when it came to taking on bad guys in a fight, but they weren't investigators. They couldn't run these thieves down the way i could"
Death Masks Ch. 9
Omega XII:
Endurance(kind of)
"I answered it and Morgan, half his face covered in blood, gasped 'The Wardens are coming. Hide me. Please.' His eyes rolled back into his skull and he collapsed.
Oh.
Super."-Turn Coat, page 1
Maybe a little long, but the best book beginning of all time.
Rapport and kind of Fists
"An intercom on the wall near the camera clicked and buzzed. "He's got a point," said Rawlins' voice. "I can't see it all from here. Move him a couple of feet to the left and give me about thirty more seconds before you start on his nads. I'm making popcorn."-Turn coat, p.229
