It was a beguiling theory that might have arisen in the minds of Wiglet and Waddy and, yes, even in the not overly exercised mind of Fred Colon, and, as far as Vimes could understand it, it went like this.
1. Supposing the area behind the barricades was bigger than the area in front of the barricades, right?
2. Like, sort of, it had more people in it and more of the city, if you follow me.
3. Then, correct me if I’m wrong, sarge, but that’d mean in a manner of speaking we are now in front of the barricades, am I right?
4. Then, as it were, it’s not like we’re rebellin’, is it? ‘cos there’s more of us, so the majority can’t rebel, it stands to reason.
5. So that makes us the good guys. Obviously we’ve been the good guys all along, but now it’d be kind of official, right? Like, mathematical?
6. So we thought we’d push on to Short Street and then we could nip down into Dimwell and up the other side of the river…
7. Are we going to get into trouble for this, sarge?
8. You’re looking at me in a funny way, sarge.
9. Sorry, sarge.

This bit never fails to crack me up. NEVER. Oh Fred Colon, bless your slightly tarnished soul and your altogether inactive brain.

“All plans, all futures, all politics… were elsewhere. Vimes scooped up a fallen sword and with a weapon in either hand screamed wordless defiance and launched himself at the nearest enemy. The man went down headless.
He saw Snouty go down in the melee, and sprang over him to catch his attacker in a windmill of blades. And then he spun around to confront Knock, who dropped his sword and fled. And Vimes ran on, not fighting but hacking, ducking strokes without seeing them, blocking attacks without turning his head, letting the ancient senses do their work. Someone was slicing towards young Sam; Vimes brought a sword down on the arm in true self-defence. He moved on, in the centre of a widening circle. He wasn’t an enemy, he was a nemesis.
And as suddenly as it had come the beast withdrew, leaving an angry man with two swords.

Annnnd the last one for the evening. I’ll finish it up tomorrow as I don’t want to be clogging up your dashes too much. There’s about three in more I’ve got in mind (I wonder if any of you can guess what those are!).
This scene makes it Nancyball, Wiglet, Dickins, Snouty and Reg down for the count. And I do love this scene despite all the deaths. We get to see Vimes release his inner beast, and that culminates in what’s probably one of the bloodiest scenes we get to see in Discworld, the torture chamber notwithstanding. It would be amazing to see this done in animation.
