Quote #10
The next time she called 911, she was going to request cops who wouldn't send her alone into an unoccupied building. Did firemen do this, too? Hey, kid, you go in first and unlock the door. (24.29)
Eleanor shows a huge amount of grace under fire when she sneaks to her neighbor's house to call 911 after hearing gunfire at her house one night. And only Eleanor could carry on a funny internal monologue while she's in a terrifying situation. The fact that the cops sent her back into her house after she heard gunshots? No wonder she doesn't feel too confident calling them about Richie.
