"But Bonnie's the only one who believes me about Cuddledown," he says. "And I wanted to call you. Only not if you're a drug addict because drug addicts don't know what's going on." (22.20)
It's not because she's an addict that Cadence doesn't know what's going on. Nope, her brain is clouded enough all on its own without assistance from the pharmaceuticals.
Quote 2
"I have a boyfriend named Drake Loggerhead," says Mirren. "He's going to Pomona like I am. We have had sexual intercourse quite a number of times, but always with protection. He brings me yellow roses every week and has nice muscles." (25.40)
Mirren's imaginary boyfriend is straight out of a Harlequin romance. In case you've never read one, they're the books with the windswept guys on the covers who look like their names would be Drake Loggerhead.
Quote 3
"You have the only beachfront house, Bess, and you have all Dad's approval and devotion. I'd think that would be enough for you. Lord knows it's impossible for the rest of us to get." (66.26)
Bess actually doesn't have her father's devotion—none of them do, since he's devoted only to himself. But Bess has the most stuff, and to the other Sinclair sisters, that equals the most love.
