But that begs the question; how far up, and how far down do circles go?

See this conversation.

Here's a couple for Rapport:

"Modern living might suck. And the world we've made can be a dark place. But at least I don't have to be there alone.

I put an arm around Nick's shoulders, and grinned at him. "It's like I keep telling you, man. You've got to have faith."

-Restoration of Faith

"Oh," I said. I rubbed at my jaw. "You think I should have gone four-color?"

Bob stared at me for a second and said, "I have nightmares about hell, where all I do is add up numbers and try to have conversations with people like you."

-from "The Vignette"

And one for Deceit:

"I held on to a flash of bad temper. "The point," I told Bob, "is to have an advertisement that looks solid, professional and reliable."

"Yeah. Advertising is all about lying," Bob said.

"Hey!"

-Also from "The Vignette"

Survival: (FM 5) "The compass needle shuddered, spun wildly and then swung to the bloodstain on the dome like a hound picking up a scent."

Contacts: (FM 11) "The demon straightened its hideous form and said, in a perfect Oxford accent, "Quite. You understand, I must observe the formalities." Then it took a pair of wholly incongruous wire-frame spectacles from beneath a scale and perched them upon the beaklike extremity of its nose. "You have questions?"

Intimidation: (FM 30) "Uh. Hi guys." I said a bit lamely. "I"ve got your boss. Put the guns down, take your belts off, and walk away from them nice and slow, or I kill him."

Yep. Fool Moon is the one book I have near at hand. 

Sure. 

Of course, Harry would have a cool, smart-ass remark about it, or a bad pun, but you get the point.

"Taste Excalibutter, jerk."
