About This Chapter
The narrator tells us that he grew up in a small town in the south, where he spent a brief stint on a hamster. He describes her as "a bundle of contradictions" : fiery, but calculating, psychologically, sensual, but innocent. She has made good choices despite mood swings, he says, but the talent farm does not seem to have much influence on her. The narrator says that he is looking into "mike" , a music executive, to see if he can "fit her financial picture" . He says that she has gotten "insane good percentages" on every deal she has done, because she is thought to be insane enough "to walk away." The narrator thinks that if trends continue, next time they'll lose. He also says that the most significant episode of her television or recorded appearances is from one of her performances. He asks the narrator to present the "best theme song" on a television show, and the narrator says he thinks it must be watched. He tells the narrator that he hates him, and that he should not have to spoil his plans, because he is a "biological waste." He says he wants to "take flight" and fight with all his might. He has been "snarly denigrating other ambitions" to make his own faded until the girl's plea opened his eyes. He goes on to say that her long-term planning is good, so she needs someone to help her.
