The Connector Quotes

“Nathan was thinking I was hot and wanting to fuck me. But Corey can’t think of me in sexual terms — at least, not when paired with a man that isn’t him — so I’m getting this kindergarten version of events.  You were horny; you both wanted to bump uglies. Maybe he’s not evil. Maybe he’s just a dude with a boner.  But Corey won’t say it. I have to interpret. “You weren’t there. The things he said … it was all mind games.”  But was it? I remember”
― Aubrey Parker, The Connector

“better now. And a bit like an idiot.”  “Why?”  “It’s like you said. He was just using me. It’s so obvious.”  I see a strange twist in Corey’s demeanor, and realize with surprise that he’s going to start defending Nathan — not for Nathan’s sake, but so that I can justify feeling fooled rather than stupid.  “I don’t know. Sounds”
― Aubrey Parker, The Connector
