This chapter's epigraph comes from a conversation between Anna and Brooke. Brooke says that it's not realistic for a company to pay an actress as much as she is paid. Anna points out that this will damage the company's image, since it will make it seem like the company doesn't pay enough attention to its employees. Brooke agrees that this is a bad idea. She says that the company needs to figure out a way to make sure that its employees don't get fired because they're not good enough for the company. Brooke then says that she hates the actress because she's been acting for a long time. Anna says that's because she has a new play coming out, and Brooke has to pay attention to her image. She asks Brooke when he's coming back, and he says he'll be back soon.
