Quote #4
"Thank you," she said, walking over. "Thank you so much, Matt. I'm sorry. I didn't mean to insult you. I didn't mean to imply that Mr. Lunardi was—"
"—any better than me? Well he is, isn't he? Let's not pretend. He's wealthy, he's older, he's handsome, he's a junior officer…"
"Is he?"
"Of course he is," I fairly shouted. "Assistant sailmaker. Didn't you notice the insignia on his collar?"
"I didn't, no."
"The golden wheels? Blazing like little suns?"
She shook her head. "All those insignia look the same to me. Everyone seems to have them."
"Not me," I said hotly." (10.146-153)
Of course the insignia blaze like little suns if they are a symbol for everything you ever wanted to accomplish. Poor Matt is practically green with envy at this point. Not only does Bruce have all those things, but Matt thinks Kate prefers him as well.
