In this chapter, we learn that the narrator and his friend, Roger, have decided to get married. They're going to buy some snacks for the men to take with them on their shopping trips. The narrator asks Roger if he's still in love with his girlfriend, and he says yes. He's been with her for five years and they've been together for two and a half years. He tells the narrator that he and Roger have a "strong will" and that they're "similar." The narrator says that he'd like to hear more stories of heroism from Roger, but he doesn't know how to ask for it. He wants to know why the narrator would say that Roger is perfect. He says that everyone trusts him, and that's why people are drawn to him. He also says that people are jealous of him because he pushes them around at work, which makes him feel envious.
