Quote #4
I knew she was not crying for Deborah […] but rather for the unmitigable fact that women who have discovered the power of sex are never far from suicide. (3.5)
In Rojack's mind, sexually active women are suicidal because of dudes like him—he knows all about the dehumanization they experience because he's usually the one doing the dehumanizing. Regardless, this knowledge doesn't seem to stop him from introducing women to the "power of sex" at every available opportunity.
Quote #5
Yet there was something better about this girl, she had the subtle touch of a most expensive shop girl, there was a silvery cunning in her features. (3.54)
It's telling that Rojack's highest compliment is that Cherry looks like an "expensive shop girl," a service worker paid to make her customers feel important. As usual, Rojack is simultaneously disgusted and attracted by these broad stereotypes. Basically, this dude has issues.
Quote #6
Sitting next to me Roberts gave off the physical communion one usually receives from a woman. (3.70)
Although this quote can be interpreted in any number of ways, we'd wager that this happens because Rojack is trying to lie to Roberts, and Roberts is trying to believe in something he knows in his heart to be untrue, After all, isn't that what Rojack's relationships with women are like?
