Quotation

“Jeanie, any woman I know would trade places with you in a minute. You got the looks, guys’re attracted to you—sometimes the wrong type, I’ll grant you. You got a nice life . . .” === “You know what I think of that particular kind of pride—from eighty-years experience, from knowing all kinds of successful people with all kinds of dough who are now dead or else in jail? I think it’s a bunch of shit. Money and success’ve got nothing to do with making it on a day to day basis, and that’s all that counts.” === “Quit thinking, start doing something. Girl with your intelligence, your talent . . . I’m telling you, money ain’t it.” === Franny was still in the mauve string bikini. She had a pinkish tan, freckles on her chest. She had a deep groove between her breasts, round bare hips and naked belly, like a young belly dancer on her day off—except for her round tinted glasses and that wiry hair; that hair was Franny and nobody else.
