Two writers from 24 share them in the latest Esquire.
A few goodies:
Actions speak louder than words. Though shouting can also be effective.
If you shoot a man’s wife in the knee and he still doesn’t give you the information, he’s bad.
(…)
If you have to trust someone, make it a quirky computer genius.
If I say “dammit,” either something bad just happened, something bad is about to happen, or I’m going to do something drastic.
(…)
Always carry at least one spare fully charged cell-phone battery.
(…)
When interrogating a suspect, I’ve often found it effective to ask the question loudly and repeat it several times.
(…)
If you see me running down the street, it’s probably a good idea to take cover.
and, below the fold, my personal favorite:
Fuck diplomacy.
Heh
