Manners hadn't been whistling Dixie about the disturbances in the cottage, however. He seemed like a stand-up guy, even good enough to warn me about the house before I'd forked over the cash. He was probably right about Johnny, and probably Deanna too, at least up to the point where she'd jumped. Boy was he in for a shock! ~ Bobby Underwood
Stand Up Guy quotes by Bobby Underwood
Kraut was a stand-up guy in the old tradition, in a strange way reminiscent of my father in his steadfast refusal to abandon a position once he had taken it. It was a quality I lacked, and so admired in others when they weren't using it to beat me to the canvas or break my heart. ~ Miles Watson
Stand Up Guy quotes by Miles Watson
What is wrong with you?" I say in lieu of greeting. "You went to Morris's dorm and declared your intentions?"

He offers a faint smile. "Of course. It was the noble thing to do. I can't be chasing after another guy's girl without his knowledge."

"I'm not his girl," I snap. "We went on one date! And now I'm never going to be his girl, because he doesn't want to go out with me again."

"What the hell?" Logan looks startled. "I'm disappointed in him. I thought he had more of a competitive spirit than that."

"Seriously? You're going to pretend to be surprised? He won't see me again because your jackass self told him he couldn't."

Astonishment fills his eyes. "No, I didn't."

"Yes, you did."

"Is that what he told you?" Logan demands.

"Not in so many words."

"I see. Well, what words did he actually use?"

I grit my teeth so hard my jaw aches. "He said he's backing off because he doesn't want to get in the middle of something so complicated. I pointed out that there's nothing complicated about it, seeing as you and I are not together." My aggravation heightens. "And then he insisted that I need to give you a chance, because you're a - " I angrily air-quote Morris's words " - 'stand-up guy who deserves another shot.'"

Logan breaks out in a grin.

I stab the air with my finger. "Don't you dare smile. Obviously you put those words in his mouth. And what the hel ~ Elle Kennedy
Stand Up Guy quotes by Elle Kennedy
The Mob essentially created the term 'stand-up comic' - according to eighty-six-year-old comedian Dick Curtis: 'The Outfit used to manage fighters. A stand-up fighter is a guy that is a puncher. A stand-up guy was a guy who was tough and you could depend on. The Outfit managed fighters and they managed clubs that booked comics, so the term found its way into the lexicon of nightclubs. A guy who just stood there and punched jokes - joke, joke, joke - he was a stand-up comic. ~ Kliph Nesteroff
Stand Up Guy quotes by Kliph Nesteroff
Consider the whole thing as occupational therapy. Power as cottage industry for the mad. The shepherd is slave to the sheep. A gardener is in thrall to his carrots. Only a lunatic would want to be president. These lunatics are created deliberately by those who wish to be presided over. You've seen it a thousand times. We create a leader by locating one in the crowd who is standing up. This may well be because there are no chairs or because his knees are fused by arthritis. It doesn't matter. We designate this victim as a 'stand-up guy' by the simple expedient of sitting down around him. ~ Katherine Dunn
Stand Up Guy quotes by Katherine Dunn
And if people do like me, I think it's because I'm a stand-up guy. ~ David Duval
Stand Up Guy quotes by David Duval
Lenz likes him, and there's always this slight hangnail of fear, like clinging, whenever he likes somebody. It's like something terrible could happen at any time. Less fear than a kind of tension in the region of stomach and ass, an all-body wince. Deciding to go ahead and think somebody's a stand-up guy: it's like you drop something, you give up all of your power over it: you have to stand there impotent waiting for it to hit the ground: all you can do is brace and wince. It kind of enrages Lenz to like somebody. ~ David Foster Wallace
Stand Up Guy quotes by David Foster Wallace
The Master of Ceremonies in 'Bridge and Tunnel' is a wonderful man, if I do say so myself. I talk about all the characters in the third person. But, he is a really congenial ... just a good stand-up guy, who happens to be Pakistani-American. He's been here for years. ~ Sarah Jones
Stand Up Guy quotes by Sarah Jones
You see, the thing is, if you don't do anything to your face, and you get old, and you can stand up, and you can remember your lines, the work is there. ~ Judy Parfitt
Stand Up Guy quotes by Judy Parfitt
You always knew that one day you would stand up for yourself ... That one day you would raise the standard of your life ... That one day would say to yourself, "Enough with this bullshit" ... You might as well make today that day. ~ Steve Maraboli
Stand Up Guy quotes by Steve Maraboli
Just when I think you've hit bottom you continue to amaze me," Kyle said. "Or, does this get worse? Nothing would surprise me after this. Are you sleeping with a married man whose wife is dying of cancer?"
Elroy didn't think he'd done anything wrong. "I know nothing about his wife, or his husband for that matter. I don't ask and I'm not out to break up his home. Lighten up, man. Everybody does it. It's not like I'm going to freaking marry this dude. I'm only having a little fun with him. You wanna come with me? We'll have a three-way. You should see the way this guy moves. It will blow your mind."
With that remark Kyle shoved his hands into his pockets and walked faster. "No, thank you. That's not something I'm interested in doing. Meeting nice, decent people is the only thing that blows my mind. I just hope you're using condoms, you goddman asshole. ~ Ryan Field
Stand Up Guy quotes by Ryan Field
We needed a refrigerator for our new place and I've never bought a refrigerator my whole life. I went into the appliance store, there's like 900 of 'em lined up, there's a salesman there. What's this guy supposed to say about refrigerators? Well you got this refrigerator here, This keeps all your food cold for 600 ... You've got this refrigerator, This keeps all your food cold for 800 ... Check this out, 1400, keeps all your food cold. ~ Brian Regan
Stand Up Guy quotes by Brian Regan
When I was thirteen, I was in a supermarket with my mother, and for no reason at all, I picked up a science-fiction book at the checkout stand and started reading it. I couldn't believe I was doing that, actually reading a book. And, man, it opened up a whole new thing. Reading became the sparkplug of my imagination. ~ Mark Bradford
Stand Up Guy quotes by Mark Bradford
You deserve better. You deserve to be adored, and you deserved to be fucked until you can't stand up. ~ Kitty French
Stand Up Guy quotes by Kitty French
Comedy doesn't really matter that much; I know that. I treat it like an adult - I don't treat it like a child or a god, which some people do. This might just be in America, but 'stand-up comedy' is something very particular that I don't particularly relate to. ~ Bo Burnham
Stand Up Guy quotes by Bo Burnham
Whether it's a 16-year old girl, or a mom, or a guy, or anybody, as long as they come up and they're excited to meet me 'cause they've had some sort of relationship with something I've created, it's the coolest thing ever. It never gets old. It's awesome. ~ Andy Grammer
Stand Up Guy quotes by Andy Grammer
I'm the type of guy if there's a haunted hotel in town, I'm staying there and will stay up all night waiting to get the crap scared out of me. ~ Stephen Colletti
Stand Up Guy quotes by Stephen Colletti
I found a quote from some guy that summed up the lucky thing pretty perfectly for me. It went like this: Depend on the rabbit's foot if you will, but remember it didn't work for the rabbit. ~ Kate Karyus Quinn
Stand Up Guy quotes by Kate Karyus Quinn
How are things with you, sir?"
"Fine." He says it flat."Coffee black. BLT."
Now my heart tells me this guy needs more in life, so I take a short. "You ever had a cheese burger with grilled onions and mushrooms on pumpernickel, sir?"
That takes a minute to sink in.
Then he slaps the counter, grinning. "Bring it on."
I sense he needs more.
"You want a malt with that, by any chance?"
He did, of course. "Chocolate," he says, beaming like a kid.
Now he's loosening up.
It's a privilege to touch humanity in such a fashion. ~ Joan Bauer
Stand Up Guy quotes by Joan Bauer
I whipped around, eyeballing the guard breathing down my neck. "Seriously, dude, you need to back the hell up."
The guy was half a head shorter than me and nowhere in my league of extraordinary ass-kicking abilities ... ~ Jennifer L. Armentrout
Stand Up Guy quotes by Jennifer L. Armentrout
When I first started doing stand-up, I would be so nervous that I would just binge drink really heavily right before my sets, and as you can imagine, that had its drawbacks. But now I'm a professional, so I pace myself throughout the day. ~ Bonnie McFarlane
Stand Up Guy quotes by Bonnie McFarlane
Jus hold me a little longer, Jack. Tell me again that ya wanna be with me, fer real, cross yer heart 'n' let me know you ain't foolin', cause I dunno how or when it happen but somehow I come ta need ya like air, like blood. Touch me again like ya do with them gentle hands make me feel like somethin' precious. Say it again that ya love me, cause hearin' that was like openin' up some big bottomless well that ran dry years back and it cain't never be full enough now, I cain't never hear it enough, but once more, one more time and maybe I'll believe it a little more, and then a little more the next time, till someday I believe it fer true enough ta be able to say it back ta you like y'oughta hear it said cause God knows I love you more'n my own life, more'n anythin' in this world, but it cain't get outta me yet cause I still ain't the man I need ta be, the man who's gonna stand before you and declare. ~ Jane Seville
Stand Up Guy quotes by Jane Seville
Having two kids, I don't get out to see stand up much anymore. ~ Adam McKay
Stand Up Guy quotes by Adam McKay
I didn't audition for 'SNL.' I sent in a tape to 'SNL' the year before I started writing there, but I got the job there through doing stand-up on Fallon. ~ Hannibal Buress
Stand Up Guy quotes by Hannibal Buress
Performances will determine who actually ends up being the eighth-inning guy. ~ Brad Ausmus
Stand Up Guy quotes by Brad Ausmus
I usually end up falling for one of my really good guy friends because I know everything about them, and you fall in love with their personalities, and it makes them become attractive to you in your eyes. ~ Colbie Caillat
Stand Up Guy quotes by Colbie Caillat
If you got the balls to follow something through, you can end up being the coolest, smartest guy in the room, because you've literally put your ass on the line. ~ Steve Coogan
Stand Up Guy quotes by Steve Coogan
I've done things I'm not proud of and I'm trying really hard to make up for those things by being a decent guy. And decent guys don't act the way I've been acting around you, so I'm going to stop. ~ Sabrina Sol
Stand Up Guy quotes by Sabrina Sol
I am not qualified to say whether or not God exists. I kind of doubt He does. Nevertheless I'm always saying that the SF( The SF is the supreme Fascist, the Number-One guy up there) has this transfinite book-transfinite being a concept in mathematics that is larger than infinite-that contains the best proofs of all mathematical theorems, proofs that are elegant and perfect. ~ Paul Erdos
Stand Up Guy quotes by Paul Erdos
Practically every mental health care practitioner, from the most erudite psychoanalysts to untrained self-help gurus, tell us that it is infinitely more fulfilling and we are all saner if we tell the truth, yet most of us are not rushing to stand up and be counted among the truth tellers. Indeed, as someone committed to being honest in daily life I experience the constant drag of being seen as a 'freak,' for telling the truth, even when I speak truthfully about simple matters. If a friend gives me a gift and asks me to tell him or her whether I like it, I will respond honestly and judiciously; that is to say I will speak the truth in a positive, caring manner. Yet even in this situation, the person who asks for honesty will often express annoyance when given a truthful response. ~ Bell Hooks
Stand Up Guy quotes by Bell Hooks
A guy walks into a wedding reception. He goes up to the bartender and asks, "Is this the punch line? ~ Various
Stand Up Guy quotes by Various
What did you do?" "Blew up a fuel depot, stole twelve rockets and made off with them in a stolen van, got kidnapped by a maniac, and had dinner with a guy who farted fire." "That would be funny, but I'm worried it's all true." "It's been a long couple days." "Did he really fart fire?" Morelli asked. ~ Janet Evanovich
Stand Up Guy quotes by Janet Evanovich
I love saunas,don't you?" he purred,leaning close to my face. "The heat." A lock of his dark hair stuck to my wet cheek. "The steam."
My heart knocked so hard against my chest that I could hardly stand it. "The scent of eucalyptus," I suggested before I thought about whether this added to the romance of the situation. "Smells like a bottle of my granddaddy's Old Spice that's been fermenting in his attic since 1969." I cringed.I just couldn't leave it alone and enjoy the moment,could I?
Nick pressed his lips together to keep from laughing. He nodded sagely. "I'll never think about this scent quite the same way,that's for sure."
But Nick had a one-track mind,and even my lame jokes couldn't distract him. One of his hands still moved on my tummy. The other picked up my hand and moved it to his thigh. Talk about a body like a rock. ~ Jennifer Echols
Stand Up Guy quotes by Jennifer Echols
I found Reagan in the crowd and chose to stand next to her. I now had a place in her life, this was me stepping up to fulfill it. ~ Rachel Higginson
Stand Up Guy quotes by Rachel Higginson
Ever since I was 12 years old I had to defend my love for heavy metal against those who say it's a less valid form of music. My answer now is that you either feel it or you don't. If metal doesn't give that overwhelming surge of power that make the hair stand up at the back of your neck, you might never get it, and you know what? That's okay, because judging by the 40,000 metalheads around me we're doing just fine without you ~ Sam Dunn
Stand Up Guy quotes by Sam Dunn
Shy, insecure, afraid to speak up? "Act as if," they say. Act as if you're not. Stand tall when you walk. Project your voice when you talk. Raise your hand in class. Act as if. Speak your mind. Cut your hair. Be the part. Look the part. You can do this. Just act as if. If you really knew me, If you could see inside, You'd find shy and insecure and afraid. Acting as if. Ironic, isn't it? The only time I'm not Acting "as if"? When I'm on a stage. ~ Tamara Ireland Stone
Stand Up Guy quotes by Tamara Ireland Stone
But what he's forgetting," she says. "What he's forgotting is that me and Todd, we ran halfway across this planet together, by ourselves. We beat his craziest preacher. We outran an entire army and survived being shot and beaten and chased and we bloody well stayed alive this whole time without being blown up or tortured to death or dying in battle or anything."
She takes her hand of Lee so she's balancing just against me.
"Me and Todd? Together against the Mayor?" She smiles. "He doesn't stand a chance. ~ Patrick Ness
Stand Up Guy quotes by Patrick Ness
Shut up, sit down, and read. (Tory)
Please? (Acheron)
You need something? (Tory)
You to be polite to me, Ms. I Own The World- Now Do What I Say You Pathetic Pleb. (Acheron)
You don't strike me as the kind of guy who takes orders anyway. (Tory)
Yes, but a simple please goes a long way. I'm the one doing you a favor here. (Acheron)
Fine. Please sit down, shut up, and read. (Tory) ~ Sherrilyn Kenyon
Stand Up Guy quotes by Sherrilyn Kenyon
I'd never experienced stress before I did stand-up, and it was a massive shock to my system, this thing of waking up, and the nerves of, 'You're on stage tonight.' ~ Johnny Vegas
Stand Up Guy quotes by Johnny Vegas
I love stand-up comedians. I really do. ~ Jim Gaffigan
Stand Up Guy quotes by Jim Gaffigan
My idea of romance is a guy who will take me to see an Avengers film and doesn't mind dressing up like Loki afterwards. ~ Karina Halle
