Quote #10

"Will you do me a favor" asked Squid.

"I guess," Stanley agreed, somewhat hesitantly.

"I want you to – " He turned to Ms. Morengo. "Hey, lady, you have a pen and paper I can borrow?"

She gave it to him, and Squid wrote down a phone number which he gave to Stanley. "Call my mom for me, okay? Tell her… Tell her I said I was sorry. Tell her Alan said he was sorry." (48.59-62)

Shmoop broke out the tissues for this one. But wait a second: wasn't Squid the one who scowled at Stanley before when he was writing to his mother? And now he wants to contact his own mom. What does this tell us about how Squid may have changed from earlier in the book?
