Renata : We never see Marion and Gail. I don't understand. You used to like them!
Frederick : I can't stand them. They're so enthusiastic. College kids. I get embarrassed!
Renata : Oh, well, don't get embarrassed. Don't come. Stay home, drink yourself unconscious. That's one of the cliches of being a novelist you've had no problem with.
Frederick : Yeah, I sure can drink.
-
Frederick : I'm not in the mood for your lesbian friends and a lot of vacuous gossip about New York poetesses.
-
Frederick : Flyn suffers from the same thing my last book suffered from. She's a perfect example of form without any content.
Renata : That's very profound. You haven't even started drinking yet.
Frederick : Yeah, I am profound. And I'm not the award-winning writer. You're the one who's supposed to be giving me insights into sex and other world-shattering phenomenon.

Frederick : I did a terrible thing last week. I wrote about this friend's book. Not a very good book. And I pointed that out, which is what I was getting paid to do. But I was extremely cruel about it - and I took great pleasure in my cruelty. My anger scares me. I don't like what I'm becoming.
