1. Carrot - a policeman, and Brick - a troll:
" 'Do you want a lawyer?'
'No, I ate already.'
'You eat lawyers?' said Carrot.
Brick gave him an empty stare until sufficient brain had been mustered.
'What d'y'call dem fings, dey kindacrumble when you eat dem?' he ventured.
Carrot looked at Detrius and Angua, to see if there was going to be any help there.
'Could be lawyers,' he conceded.'"

2. About Tawneee - an exceptionally beautiful dancer:
"Alcohol didn't seem to go to her head at all. Maybe it couldn't find it. But she was pleasant, easygoing company, if you avoided allusion, irony, sarcasm, repartee, satire and words longer than 'chicken'."

Both are from Terry Pratchett's "Thud!"
