Quote #1
The Deliverator had to borrow some money to pay for it. Had to borrow it from the Mafia, in fact […] it was like being in a family. A really scary, twisted, abusive family. (1.22)
That's…cheery. Each family comes with its own set of problems, though. Why should the Mafia be any different?
Quote #2
Uncle Enzo laughs […]."Tell me, what does your mother think of your career?"
[…] "She's not totally aware of it—or doesn't want to know."
"You're probably wrong," Uncle Enzo says. He says it cheerfully enough, not trying to cut her down or anything. "You might be shocked at how well-informed she is. This is my experience, anyway." (21.45-47)
Y.T. knows that she's deceiving her mom every time she goes out on a dangerous Kourier mission. The question is, how much is Y.T. actually getting away with? According to Uncle Enzo, parents usually know more than they let on.
Quote #3
"Then I remembered my grandmother and realized, my God, the human mind can absorb and process an incredible amount of information—if it comes in the right format." (7.26)
Juanita's respect for her grandmother seems to stem from this incident, when her grandmother intuitively grasped an entire situation just by looking at Juanita's face. Sounds like a good reason for Juanita to idolize her grandmother and put a picture of her in her office at The Black Sun.
