It's not about being humorious or being relatable, it's about the situation. There are alot of dramatic moments in these books series and the dialogue between the characters comes off as too casual. With Quinn, while you may dislike it, it's consistent with the tone. That line was after she realized that she was no longer sick and the moment before that was when she was getting into a coma. Her whole life was being isolated and she feels free now. Also, I don't get what you mean by "it sounds like something out of a movie". All of the series are supposed to come off like them. I could see many of them being played out as show or mini-series. Excluding the the non-love interests, most of the casts just spew out references at random times. How many people could you understand saying "the lorax wouldn't be happy with this" right after they see a land of trees burnt down? I'm not saying that they book is using it to be funny, but rather said character. Its like the whole 'characters expressing emotion' thing i mentioned in the ES3 article
