How we cite our quotes: (Chapter.Paragraph)
Quote #1
He [...] fixed his collar and tie, but his eyes kept straying to the photograph that was pushed into the upper corner of the frame. (3.1)
You know you're thirsty when you can't even put on your clothes without obsessing about your crush. Although Tod is a great deal older (and hopefully more mature) than Faye, that doesn't stop him from going into full-on creeper mode.
Quote #2
Her invitation wasn't to pleasure, but to struggle, hard and sharp, closer to murder than to love. (3.8)
Okay, Tod, cool it with the emo song lyrics. The fact that Tod describes his feeling towards Faye in terms of violence says a lot about his perception of the girl and their relationship.
Quote #3
"I've been chasing a girl and it's like carrying something a little too large to conceal in your pocket, like a briefcase or a small valise. It's uncomfortable." (4.68)
Is that a small valise in your pocket, or are you just happy to see us? Although Tod resists his feelings at first, he quickly realizes that he's powerless to stop them. So what is he supposed to do? Throw away her phone number? Tear up all the paintings he's made of her? Take a dozen cold showers?
