    21

    And you'd better call her right back.

    22

    And you'd better come too or you'll never find your way out of this hole.

    23

    Another of Ully's experiments.  Hopefully it's better than his demon skunk spray.

    76

    Dean felt it might be better if she talked instead of letting the silence and the upcoming events prey on her mind.

    77

    Despite feeling better rested than she could remember, she was unable to shake the sense of unease from the catacombs, as if Jame's magic lingered.

    Dr. Wynn knew better.

    89

    96

    For the better part of an hour they gazed down on the scene below and discussed her plans for the dude ranch.

    97

    Gabriel cursed under his breath.  He had no way of knowing what kind of test a deity like Death could create, but it wasn't likely to be good.  While he had full faith in Rhyn, he also knew better than to trust the petite woman in white standing in his dream.

    98

    Gee, now I feel a lot better.

    99

    Good timing, but it would have been better timing if Alex had caught her – more fun too.

    100

    He always knew what to say to make people feel better – only now he couldn't talk, and even if he could, he might not be capable of the flowery words.

    101

    He can't prove you chased Billy down the mountain any better than you can prove he did.

    102

    He considered sneaking out the back door but it was still early and the look on Rita's face told him he'd better behave.

    103

    He could have said something to Rob, though at the moment anything he could have said to make the situation better eluded her.

    104

    He could keep an eye on both the Other and the Magician better.

    105

    He deserved better than me.

    106

    He did the cooking and cleaning until she felt better.

    107

    He doubted his night – or his next few thousand years – was going to get any better than this.

    108

    He had bad days, but Alex always gave him something to make him feel better.

    109

    He held her without speaking, probably sensing there was little he could say to make her feel better.

    110

    He kneaded her breasts, wanting nothing better than to suckle her until she cried out in ecstasy.

    111

    He knows the city better than anyone.

    112

    He leaned closer to get a better look.

    113

    He loved to climb hills, the higher the better.

    114

    He must have decided she was in a better mood, because he smiled.

    115

    He positioned the earpiece of his communication headphones better.

    116

    He said I deserved better than you and I'd be better off without you.

    117

    He seemed in better spirits than usual and awaited his son with great impatience.

    118

    He seems so much better today.

    119

    He should've known better than not to warn Dan what Lana could do if she got a hold of a micro, even if it was Elise's.

    120

    He smelled like a heady mix of male musk and something so faint and sweet, it made her want to press her face to the skin of his chest for a better smell.

    121

    He thinks you are better than us.

    122

    He was better off without her anyway.

    123

    He was going to say, "for the late innings," but thought better of it.

    124

    He was in better shape than half the office, by Mayer's assessment.

    125

    He was not feeling better.

    126

    He'd better watch his P's and Q's.

    127

    He'd have a way of keeping my mind off of things.  I think the demon side of him makes him a better Immortal than people like Kris.

    128

    He'd meant it as a joke only, something to make her feel better and take her mind off of the chaos around her.

    129

    He's much better now and it's not just the shrink he's seeing.

    130

    He's my husband, for better or for worse.

    131

    Her gaze went to him in consideration, and she wondered if it was better to take or leave him.

    132

    Her throat was very sore and the doctor thought she would have to go away to the hospital, but she is better now.

    133

    His deep voice was so much better than television.

    134

    His erratic moods had grown more volatile the past couple of days, and she knew better than to draw his attention.

    135

    His head hurt from the shock of the baton, and he couldn't help hoping she was a better shot than she was figuring out the baton.

    136

    His odds were better than they had been against thousands of them.

    137

    His words and attitude always suppose a better state of things than other men are acquainted with, and he will be the last man to be disappointed as the ages revolve.

    138

    Howie moved forward for a better view.

    139

    Howie was a total wreck and I'm sure neither Quinn nor I was much better.

    140

    I can do better than that.

    141

    I can think of no one better to take care of you.

    142

    I can turn the heat down and it will cook slower – might even be better.

    143

    I can't imagine killing an angel is any better than killing a little boy.

    144

    I can't say your choices have been any better.

    145

    I don't know if it means anything, but I guessed I'd better say something.

    146

    I don't think things will get any better for us.

    147

    I feel much better now.

    148

    I figured I'd better call my family before they sent out a search team.

    149

    I figured she was better off not being exposed to that situation.

    150

    I got a better idea!

    151

    I guess he can take better care of himself than Toby, she said.

    152

    I guess I should feel better about Randy.

    153

    I guess we'd better eat it, then.

    154

    I hope Alex gets in a better mood.

    155

    I hope she comes out better behaved than Toby.

    156

    I hope your week was better than mine.

    157

    I just wanted to let you know I got here and everything is better than I expected.

    158

    I knew better but the other kids called me chicken.

    159

    I know better than to trust Wynn, she said with a sigh.

    160

    I know for a fact my wife turned as white as Casper and Quinn looked no better.

    161

    I know the Immortal world better than you, mortal.

    162

    I know the underworld better than you.

    163

    I know you a little better now.

    164

    I like this bucket list better.

    165

    I like your one-guy theory better so I'll help you out here.

    166

    I liked it better when it was just us, Darian.

    167

    I luv her but they do to and they can do better than me.

    168

    I met Gabe, and he took me to Andre, who raised me for a few years, before my brothers decided I was better off in Hell, he summarized.

    169

    I picked some yellow flowers to go in her hair, but she said they looked better in a vase.

    170

    I realize now my venture was doomed to failure from the start as my target was far better protected than I sensed.

    171

    I saw you running over here and thought I'd better check on you.

    172

    I should know better, but I kind of fell in back there with your pace.

    173

    I should take better care of our wildlife.

    174

    I should've done a better job.

    175

    I suppose I better call off the hounds.

    176

    I suppose it is better than a lonely dirt road on a cold day.

    177

    I suppose no place is better than home on Christmas.

    178

    I think he's better equipped than I am.

    179

    I think I like that choice better.

    180

    I think I like that shirt better on you.

    181

    I think we have a better chance if we go to Death's fortress.

    182

    I think you'd better limit your use to when Fred's here to give you permission.

    183

    I think you'd know better than that.

    184

    I thought it would be better if I slept here.

    185

    I thought you were better at lying.

    186

    I told her when I returned from my preparations in the cabin I'd better find my little angle quiet or she could watch her mother die before her eyes.

    187

    I told them they would be better off listing it in an Arkansas paper.

    188

    I trust your judgment better than I do my own.

    189

    I was thinking that when she got better, she wouldn't be able to get it back unless I had it.

    190

    I will shred Dusty for not taking better care of you!

    191

    I won't say anything more about it, but you'd better think about one thing.

    192

    I'd better figure on building a pen close to the house to quarantine the Longhorns in.

    193

    I'd better get cracking on that, knock on doors or something.

    194

    I'd better get going if I want to make it back before dark.

    195

    I'd better get going.

    196

    I'd better get her ready for bed.

    197

    I'd better get home while the milk is cool.

    198

    I'd better get my campaign manager cracking.

    199

    I'd better get supper on the table.

    200

    I'd better go finish it.

    201

    I'd better go now.

    202

    I'd better go, she said.

    203

    I'd better move my hunt further south when I've cleaned up my business and finished here.

    204

    I'd better stay here.

    205

    I'd feel better if you'd hire someone to help you.

    206

    I'd feel much better if he returned with us but if he insists on staying, it's his choice.

    207

    I'd show you but I've got a new friend I'm anx­ious to get to know better!

    208

    I'll better his total before I die and they'll not know I ever existed... unless someone sees me in their crystal ball.

    209

    I'll give you a better deal.

    210

    I'll go check on her if it will make you feel any better.

    211

    I'll stay for a while longer if it will make you feel better.

    212

    I'll try to be better, Darian whispered.

    213

    I'm better off as demon fodder.  I was doomed when I was born a half-demon.

    214

    I'm betting better than fair.

    215

    I'm beyond help, Rhyn.  I've always believed you could be all that Kris and Andre and your father were not.  Your half-demon nature makes you better prepared than all of them combined.

    216

    I'm not looking forward to the wedding chaos, but waiting isn't going to make things any better.

    217

    I'm sure, but I'll go see another doctor if it will make you feel any better.

    218

    I'm surprised to say the weather was better.

    219

    I'm telling you, you'd better talk to Alex.

    220

    I'm truly sorry but I'm not sure how it could have played out a whole lot better.

    221

    If he can get us better and timelier information and direct us to the best place to call in our tips, we're miles ahead.

    222

    If he would only put an arm around her when they slept, like he used to, she might feel better.

    223

    If I didn't know better, I'd say you were a fed.

    224

    If I didn't know better, I'd say you're trying to keep a secret.

    225

    If I didn't know you better, I'd swear you didn't think your mother was worth the cost.

    226

    If it was Nota, chances are he won't have any better luck chasing down Cleary than we did.

    227

    If nothing else, she'd have a much better vision of what was to come after a full day in the immortal world.

    228

    If only I were better fitted for the great task!

    229

    If she didn't know better, she would've read more into his words.

    230

    If she didn't know better, she'd say whatever the poison was, it felt like what lingered in Jonny's body.

    231

    If she had known what he was going to do, it wouldn't have made her feel any better.

    232

    If she searched for the rest of her life, she might never find a better mate than Alex.

    233

    If she wanted to catch him alone, she'd better get it done now.

    234

    If sheriffs have to do that sort of thing, you'd better practice.

    235

    If they could get past the adoption issue, they could give their children a better life than he had.

    236

    If we had a better description of them it might pinpoint the age of the victim.

    237

    If you ask me, those Norfolk guys would be better off checking the airports than the bottom of the bay.

    238

    If you want me to cook them, you'd better clean them up so they don't look like snakes.

    239

    If you're going to be angry with each other, I can't think of a better place to make up.

    240

    If you're serious about wanting to see someone again, you'd better give them a good night kiss they'll remember.

    241

    In any case, the vow was for better or for worse.

    242

    In fact, getting to know him better had only increased it.

    243

    In fact, her emotion at the moment would better be described as uncomfortable – if not outright dread.

    244

    In fact, the whole idea of the skip doesn't fit any better than murder or suicide.

    245

    In spite of all I said, his and Jen's baby has a lot better future than Billy Langstrom's.

    246

    In that moment, he couldn't think of a better idea.

    247

    In the mean time, you'd better calm down.

    248

    In the meantime, he'd learn to use the compass better and decipher the symbols.

    249

    In this, she would always remain a better person than the twisted, abusive man who had controlled her so absolutely before she killed him.

    250

    Isn't that better than one percent?

    251

    It also prevented unauthorized entry, but the other sounded better.

    252

    It couldn't have been better, but entertaining three men on a daily basis was a mental workout.

    253

    It crossed her mind that Lori might be better off.

    254

    It didn't take long for it to work and she began to feel better.

    255

    It gets better all the time.

    256

    It isn't just that we can communicate better but that we actually relate to each other better.

    257

    It probably looked better for him, anyway, as he didn't have a date.

    258

    It took her the better part of an hour to locate the cow, and if it hadn't been for the white form that raced out to meet them, she might have missed the cow in the hollow with her two calves.

    259

    It took the better part of forty-five minutes to reach Drake Field.

    260

    It was better having something to do.

    261

    It was better than one night.

    262

    It was better than traveling the underworld with Gabriel or fighting with Kris for an ounce of respect.

    263

    It was the most incredible food in the world, much better than omelets.

    264

    It was warmer on Monday and Dean was pleased his body felt better than he expected.

    265

    It will be better.

    266

    It would be better if she told him before Josh did.

    267

    It would look better that way.

    268

    It would probably look better for Lori if she called.

    269

    It's a relief the monster wasn't responsible for Vermont but I'd feel much better if I knew he didn't break into Julie's place.

    270

    It's better if I have something to take my mind off—other matters.

    271

    It's better if you let me go.

    272

    It's better to have fought and lost, than never to have fought at all, he quipped.

    273

    It's better you don't remember.

    274

    It's better you end it before it begins!

    275

    It's better you learn them from the beginning.

    276

    It's getting better all the time.

    277

    It's still a mess but better than it was.

    278

    It's working out better than any of us expected.

    279

    Jeffrey Byrne's wife was in far better physical shape than she had let on, and the pair managed 20 miles before finally calling it quits, not because she was tired, but because, as she said, her what-sis was so sore.

    280

    Jonathan wanted to come see him, but she told him to wait until Alex was better.

    281

    Just because I haven't been anyplace else, doesn't mean that there is any place better.

    282

    Katie says I'd better find a way to communicate with you.

    283

    Kicking my ass always makes you feel better.

    284

    Later, he and Martha were to visit the library for more digging into the earlier disappearances now that the date of Martha's bones was better known.

    285

    Life couldn't get any better than this.

    286

    Life couldn't get any better.

    287

    Like Gabriel, he was better off without her in his life.

    288

    Look, maybe we'd better slack off for a while, Ethel— what do you think?

    289

    Mama took it a little better.  She didn't cry.

    290

    Maybe he had decided being in control of the estate was better than having no control in his home.

    291

    Maybe he'll feel better in the morning.

    292

    Maybe I've learned to hide my anxiety better.

    293

    Maybe if she'd paid more attention to the information coming in or been a better analyst … part of her knew there were no indicators she missed.

    294

    Maybe if you'd all got to know each other better, you'd have become bosom buddies.

    295

    Maybe it was better he was so prickly.

    296

    Maybe it was better she died today, before she became like him!

    297

    Maybe it would be better if it crossed his.

    298

    Maybe laying the decision in his lap made him feel better about it.

    299

    Maybe passionate would be a better word.

    300

    Maybe we'd better go.

    301

    Maybe you should hold off awhile until your shoulder gets better.

    302

    Maybe you'd better do that.

    303

    Most are no better than he is, but Taran was an innocent child when he came to me.

    304

    Mrs. Byrne, looking embarrassed at the confusion, suggested that she and Dean might be better off talking on the back deck.

    305

    Much as Dean wanted to telephone Cynthia Byrne, he knew it wasn't appropriate—suicide was a better word.

    306

    My father would know better than to raise any objections about my choice in a partner for life.

    307

    My imagination got the better of me and I took it out on you.

    308

    My newfound friend and I want to get better acquainted.

    309

    Nay, I often did better than this.

    310

    New Mexico and Arizona are no better.

    311

    No book is worth reading that does not make you better or wiser.

    312

    No woman would ever be more than second to a man like that, but being the woman who was second in his world sounded better than anything else she'd ever wanted.

    313

    No, I'd better go home.

    314

    No, I'd better stay here.

    315

    Oh, I'd better call Felipa and tell her we'll meet them at the barn instead.

    316

    Or maybe, incomplete is a better word.

    317

    Parkside had held up well, faring much better than some of its sister cities in eastern Pennsylvania.

    318

    Perhaps you'd better speak to him.

    319

    Personally, I think people would be better off if they'd work out there own problems.

    320

    Physically, he was feeling a whole lot better than he had in years.

    321

    Possibly, but a man would probably be a better fit.

    322

    Rhyn deserves better.  I think I got what was coming to me for being as selfish as my bitchy sister.

    323

    Rhyn, you're better than this.

    324

    Right now she'd better get back to Katie and Bill's house before Alex came home.

    325

    Right now, here on earth, things couldn't get any better.

    326

    Rissa would be better served dead than falling into any other clan's hands.

    327

    School crossing guards offer better protec­tion.

    328

    Self-teaching algorithms will get better and better at making suggestions.

    329

    She couldn't help feeling bad she'd never taken much time to get to know her neighbors better.

    330

    She deserved better than that.

    331

    She didn't feel any better knowing Talon couldn't kill her here!

    332

    She didn't say that she thought Damian would run circles around the boy and find a better solution.

    333

    She does it better than me, huh?

    334

    She fed the horses, hoping Alex would like the perfume she wore better than the horses did.

    335

    She knew better than to relax around her father, whose hand was likely to fly at the drop of a hat.

    336

    She liked to be with him better than with the others, and when alone with him she sometimes laughed.

    337

    She looked better than when he'd last seen her.

    338

    She said I thought I was better than her – and my family.

    339

    She shifted the sack of groceries to get a better look, and froze.

    340

    She spoke against better judgment.

    341

    She steeled herself for their rejection, reminding herself she did it not for them, but to give her daughter a better life.

    342

    She walked up the street to a better vantage point, curious to see what he hit.

    343

    She was a different person now – hopefully a better one.

    344

    She was actually feeling better until that last remark.

    345

    She was better off pulling a random diagnosis out of a hat.

    346

    She wasn't supposed to be up here alone and it probably wouldn't make Alex feel any better to know Josh had been here with her.

    347

    She would never find a better man than Alex.

    348

    She'd better get breakfast ready.

    349

    She'd better go to the doctor.

    350

    She'd better put something in her stomach.

    351

    She's better off without him—and not knowing him for the jerk he is.

    352

    Should she fight for him, or was she better off without him?

    353

    So I was right in thinking it's better they—or Jonny—kills me, before you destroy our world to get to them.

    354

    Some things are much better that way.

    355

    Something is better than nothing.

    356

    Sometimes spontaneous events worked out better than well-planned ones.

    357

    Soon as this Fitzgerald guy calls with the details, we'll have a better idea of the time frame.

    358

    Still, he was managing it better every day.

    359

    Still, it worked and she felt better.

    360

    Still, there were some things that would be better left in the past.

    361

    Surely Alex would come up with something better than that.

    362

    Talking with Fritz was better than nothing, but this young man had an unusual way of thinking.

    363

    That makes me feel better about part of it, anyway.

    364

    That seems like a better deal to me.

    365

    That wouldn't make him feel any better.

    366

    That's why I like you better.

    367

    The airport was coping with the fog no better than the harried commuters.

    368

    The barbeque couldn't have been better.

    369

    The bastard better not be.

    370

    The dilapidated, abandoned facility fiercely defended by the soldiers in Western uniforms was not worth their efforts when compared to the buildings in much better shape down the road.

    371

    The doctor says he is better.

    372

    The drinks arrived in glasses better designed for raising fish than serving alcohol—a sure hit with the traveling salesmen.

    373

    The FBI can fill you in better when they get here but this guy's been off the grid since he was released from prison last summer.

    374

    The files were better than a sleeping pill.

    375

    The first gate consisted of a few dozen men better armed than his team atop a thick steel wall with an iron core.

    376

    The lovemaking did get better.

    377

    The smile, the nickname – both made her feel better.

    378

    The sooner they got away from the tree, the better.

    379

    The thought of him without his shirt on, or better yet, naked … "No way in hell," she breathed.

    380

    The vehicle, older than Fred, sounded better than Dean's Jeep.

    381

    Their lifestyle was less than he had grown up with, but in his estimation, it was better quality.

    382

    Then he added, Ms. Larkin better watch her pretty butt.

    383

    Then he added, You might have better luck learning who's been trying to buy the worthless mine and who at Bird Song swiped the itsy-bitsy bone you found.

    384

    Then Henry Ford came along, followed by a host of others, and cars got better and better while getting less and less expensive.

    385

    Then you ought to know better.

    386

    Then, thinking better of her quick response, she began to pick at her fingernails.

    387

    There was a much better time when she did not know he planned to usurp her, and the memory comforted her.

    388

    There was little she could do at the moment with only one hand free – and that on the injured side - so she waited for a better opportunity.

    389

    There were better things to do with his time.

    390

    There's a saying, better to serve in Hell than get your head split open somewhere else.

    391

    They had a better relationship now than they ever had, and she was actually getting to know him better.

    392

    They had been through better and worse and each time they had come out on the other side with a stronger relationship.

    393

    They invited Carmen to join, but it was obvious that their skills were far better and she would only hold them back.

    394

    They shouldn't have talked in front of him, but sending him to his room wouldn't have left him feeling any better.

    395

    They worked over Brutus for the better part of an hour and finally Alex leaned back and stretched.

    396

    They would learn those things with or without children, but they could enjoy the intimacy of them much better when it was merely the two of them.

    397

    They've got a plate on the sole so your feet don't get numb and they hold on to the pedal better.

    398

    Things will get worse before they get better, but they should get better.

    399

    Thinking a ride might put her in a better mood, she saddled Ed and released Princess and her daughters in the pasture.

    400

    Thirty minutes to get to her apartment; an hour to get ready - no, better make it thirty minutes, and then another half-hour to get to her parent's house.

    401

    This better be good.

    402

    This better be important, Lana.

    403

    This girl deserves better than to be tossed aside like yesterday's trash.

    404

    This is even better than I had imagined.

    405

    This was Dean's week for second-rate motels, and they weren't getting better.

    406

    This was much better.

    407

    Though I do like this weather better than the snow.

    408

    Unfortunately, she couldn't think of an explanation that would be true and make him feel better.

    409

    Unless you've got a bigger sleeping bag, we'd better stop now.

    410

    Unlike most first-time riders of this spectacular road, she didn't shudder; instead she leaned far over for a better view, rattling a litany of praises.

    411

    Vinnie, this better be damn good.

    412

    Was he actually frightened, or was he trying to make her feel better?

    413

    We are building the Internet to connect with each other better, to share information, to collaborate, to offer mutual support, and so on.

    414

    We better get Rainy in here before he tears down the hospital looking for her.

    415

    We can make better food that uses fewer resources.

    416

    We can wait, but he isn't going to get better.

    417

    We don't have much time; we better go shopping for baby clothes.

    418

    We have a few kinds of prepackaged sandwich meats, but there's a better variety at the counter.

    419

    We promised to take each other for better or worse, Carmen.

    420

    We'd better eat lunch.

    421

    We'd better get back to the apartment.

    422

    We'd better get back to the barn.

    423

    We'd better get back.

    424

    We'd better get up if we're going to scout out that trail before we go to church.

    425

    We'd better go down for breakfast.

    426

    We'd better go in before I make another indecent proposal.

    427

    We'd better put him back with his mommy.

    428

    We'd better start working on that Buffalo shed before it gets too hot.

    429

    We'd better stop, or I'm going to get into trouble again.

    430

    We'd better tell the old man he needs to get hopping.

    431

    We'd better watch our step, and not give him any excuse to harass us further.

    432

    We're getting better at tracking them, but haven't been able to stop them.

    433

    We're working on her self-confidence but it's still better than her mother's.

    434

    Well, I know I'll feel better knowing he's here.

    435

    Well, I'd better get chopping.

    436

    Well, I'd better get to bed.

    437

    Well, I'd better let you go home to supper.

    438

    Well, if it makes you feel better, but I like taking care of the horses.

    439

    Well, it's getting late and I'd better get in.

    440

    What better way to kick up the ante for the land from the brother.

    441

    What could be better than this?

    442

    What is a house but a sedes, a seat?--better if a country seat.

    443

    What will you do if he never gets better?

    444

    When Dean telephoned the office of World Wide Insurance Company, his luck was no better.

    445

    When I made a face, she said, "It gets better after you've had a few."

    446

    When Mrs. Watson released the rucksack, it felt better balanced, though no lighter.

    447

    When she came back, she'd keep better tabs on him.

    448

    When the sun was up, she retreated from the French doors, troubled by the lost souls and what she did to make Gabriel's life worse, when she'd hoped to make it better.

    449

    Where he'd been the last month was a mystery, but he was here now — and for some reason, what he was saying made her feel better.

    450

    While Cynthia didn't answer, her eyes told him if he did poke around, he'd better not get himself in deep do-do doing it.

    451

    Who better to keep a secret?

    452

    Who better to weed out traitors than the one who could see them for what they were?

    453

    Whoever referred him to Vinnie, he'd better watch out.

    454

    Why do you feel you are better equipped to be our next sheriff than your opponent?

    455

    Why, you yourselves know everything better than I do.

    456

    With a sinking feeling, Dusty understood Sofi's concern better.

    457

    Would it have been better if it were me, Lori?

    458

    Would it have looked any better if he had come in a few minutes earlier when Alex had his hand under her shirt?

    459

    Would it make you feel any better to know they can out-maneuver the horses in the forest?

    460

    Yeah, that would probably be a better word.

    461

    Yet for some reason she felt better.

    462

    You are no better than Sirian.

    463

    You are no better than they are, Taran!

    464

    You better learn fast if you want to survive my world, challenging me isn't the way to go, he warned.

    465

    You better not tell anyone we even came in here.

    466

    You can do better than that.

    467

    You deserve to be treated better.

    468

    You got a better explanation?  If Death told Rhyn she would give him Katie back, then Katie can't be dead.

    469

    You gotta admit, it gives me a lot better chance of checking out the crowds for Byrne.

    470

    You have to want to get better.

    471

    You know better by now than to trust a woman who lies for a living.

    472

    You know better than that.

    473

    You know better, Kiki.

    474

    You know me better than that, Fred.

    475

    You look better than I expected.

    476

    You might say I understand better why you feel as you do about Landis.

    477

    You must be feeling better, Cynthia.

    478

    You see, guys who just hunted down women looked down on the children snatchers and the scum that took on little girls thought they were a rank better than the little boy snatchers.

    479

    You simply had to make better use of what was left.

    480

    You stumbled — but if that's what it takes to get fired around here, I'd better start packing.

    481

    You'd better be careful making that kind of remark.

    482

    You'd better call one of the girls to pick you up.

    483

    You'd better get back into the house.

    484

    You'd better go inside, sweetheart.

    485

    You'd better hurry up.

    486

    You'd better put the sling on so you won't forget and use it too much.

    487

    You'd better put your hat back on.

    488

    You'd better tell Alex what you found.

    489

    You'd better treat him right.

    490

    You'd better watch what you call me or you'll be sending them out again!

    491

    You'll feel better tomorrow.

    492

    You're better off without him, you know.

    493

    You're doing a better job than Hercule what's-his-name.

    494

    You're going to have to do much better than that, Mr. Dean.

    495

    You're handling this better than I expected.

    496

    You're in better hands than I was being on Billy's team.

    497

    You're Mama's mate.  Do you like Pops better?

    498

    You're smart enough to know better.

    499

    You've always thought yourself soooo much better than the rest of us, and I'm sick of your attitude.

    500

    Your little Texas stud had better stay out of my life or I'll make him wish he'd never set foot in this state.
