"Golf's not for me, Molly." says Steve, staring blindly past her. "But... um, you maybe want to go out sometime?"
Molly's pupils and irises disappear, leaving her eyes completely white.
"Sorry, Steve." she says. "I don't think so."
"Oh, OK." says Steve, glancing surreptitiously at her breasts and doing a karate chop in the air. "I get it."
"No," she replies gleefully, thrusting her hand out and pointing, "I don't think you do!"

"Darby's nice, mom. Quiet, but nice." says a blind black girl to her Chinese mother while waving a spoon about.

Her mother turns into a man before responding.
"I'm sure she is, Tasha, but she's promoting teen motherhood as a good thing!"

Later...

"I told my mom she's wrong about Darby --" says one unidentifiable person to another as they walk along the street together towards a street called "Easte?n"..
"And she didn't buy it. Same here." replies the other.

"No phone number needed." says Bobby. "I'll charm her on Facebook."
Dinny's only response is a grin that could best be described as Alfred E Neuman crossed with Chucky.

Later, a much more sedate Dinny sits at his computer. "Good idea, Bobby." he thinks.

Even later (the next day maybe?) Dinny approaches Amanda at the school cafeteria.
"Hi Amanda..." he says. "Bobby says Darby's not on Facebook. Got a number for her?"
