"The end" is a happy ending - Penny Warner

Writing the two words, "The end," on the last page of the last chapter, is always a "happy ending," no matter what happens. Intrigued by what others had used as last lines for their happy endings, I did a little research and came up with some  I thought were great. In fact, I might have to steal one or two for my next book--and write the story beginning with "the end"..."
"Now, where was I?" - Memento

"What about the person we show it to? What's happens to them?" -  The Ring

- "This place makes me wonder... Which would be worse, to live as a monster, or to die as a good man?" -  Shutter Island

"There was a crime, there was a victim, and there is punishment."  - Presumed Innocent

"And for myself, I know I'd rather live. The end." -  Cape Fear

"OK, listen up, guys, 'cause this is how the story really goes."  - Urban Legend

"There was a point to this story, but it has temporarily escaped the chronicler's mind." - So Long, And Thanks For All The Fish

And the one that best fits my Killer Party books:

"That was one kick-ass party." - House on Haunted Hill

So what are your favorite last lines?

Cornelia Read got me with the first line of her debut novel, A Field of Darkness, and didn't disappoint with the last: "The car threw up a fine rooster tail of gravel and shot me straight out of Syracuse."

Here's one of my favorites from John D. MacDonald's The Green Ripper.
No need for words. Her eyes were wishing me luck and long life. I had outwitted monsters.

Great one, Michael. I think I'll copy it for my next ending...

Susan, that's the most intriguing last line I've ever read!
