Quote #4
Me and Jimmy have this special group of rocks where we like to play when we're in the park. We play secret agent up there. Jimmy can imitate all kinds of foreign accents. Probably because his father's a part-time actor. (4.14)
Even rocks can be special when you're with a good friend. Jimmy's like Peter in that both their dads have seriously stereotypical New York City jobs—struggling actor and ad man.
Quote #5
"Please, Peter. I'll be right back. I'll feel better if all three of you are watching him."
"What do you say?" I asked Jimmy. "Sure," he answered. "Why not?" (4.36-38)
Instead of complaining about having to babysit Fudge the Terror, Jimmy just goes along with it. He knows that Peter doesn't have a say in this whole situation anyway. Without his friends, it would be a lot harder for Peter to put up with his little brother and his rambunctious ways. Some kids might avoid hanging out with someone with a troublesome brother. Not Jimmy.
Quote #6
He was screaming and crying and his face was a mess of blood. I couldn't even tell where the blood was coming from at first. Then Jimmy handed me his handkerchief. I don't know how clean it was but it was better than nothing. I mopped some blood off Fudge's face. (4.56)
It's a good thing that Peter has Jimmy around when Fudge has his bad accident. Sheila completely loses it and starts crying, but Jimmy keeps a level head. Maybe getting mugged three times makes dealing with Fudge seem like a piece of cake.
