“Everything's such an effort, even caring a little. Even being such a gigantic fuck-up wears me out. ”

“But then Vega snapped in a loud, clear voice, “My guess is they clicked ‘like’ because there’s no ‘I fucked her’ button.”

“Cap truly believed there was nothing harder than being a kid. You were always an alien trying to learn the earth rules.”

“You said every day we make a million little choices, and we should try to make the right ones as much as we can. And you said rarely in life do the big choices present themselves, so when they do, we have to take advantage of the opportunity. We have to do the right thing.”

“For a minute I feel like shit about it. But here's the thing about feeling like shit: It gets tiring. I'm fuck-all exhausted by it, every day, making the wrong decision and saying the wrong thing and not getting a job and not being able to cut that goddamn hedge straight. Maybe this is just who I am, and everyone else needs to just deal with it, or at least give me a little bit of a break.”

“Vega emerged from the hallway with a black laptop under her arm.
"Let's go," she said.
"Theft, breaking and entering," said Cap, pointing to the laptop.
Vega pointed at Cap and added, "Whining.”

“Also, not for nothing, I've always been able to bluff, since I was a kid. Now they train children to do it in games like Two Truths and a Lie, to say nothing of the anarchic free-for-all that is Apples to Apples.”

“Cap parked and got out. It was hot but not humid, and it was glorious. Hot but not humid. Did everyone on the East Coast know about this?”

“He had the look, Vega thought, the one reserved for teenaged boys, the one that says there's nothing but girls and beer and sports in the world and I am goddamn okay with that.”

“The rich gossiping mom is a cliche for a reason; however, I think nine of ten rich gossiping moms are doing it not out of avarice but instead out of anxiety. It starts when the kids are little, with rashes and tantrums and weird poop rituals; then the kids get older and are they just sensitive or do they have sensory issues; ADHD or just impatient; and then just when they have that all figured out the kids hit puberty, and all bets are off; the the haunting refrain reaches a fever pitch: Is this normal? Is my kid normal? Will he be okay? Will I be okay?”

“The message from Vega was still there; it had not evaporated. A thin line pulsed horizontally through the letters in her name. Cap knew it was because the screen was old, something to do with the monitor's magnetic field, but it made the word look alive, like it had a shaky little heart.”

“I don't respond, not even with a thumbs-up. Also privately thankful we've never been a read-receipt sort of couple. I'd be hard-pressed to think of any method of communication more passive-aggressive than read receipts.”

“But I knew this was part of it going in - the small talk, that's business, business is personal, that's what no one tells you when you're starting out, that all the parts of your life actually relate to each other.”

“I didn't have an answer for him. It was just a thing inside me I couldn't control. I wanted to be happy, but I was scared to death. I couldn't explain all this to him, about girls, how we spend our whole lives doing evasive maneuvers away from what happened to us in childhood just to make something. Write something. Make a career like you have.”

“He is a good artist, not a great one, but that hasn't stopped him from selling pieces, because he acts like he's great. Except to him he's not acting. In addition to some cultural entitlement and the whole man's-world thing, he also has a blind and unfailing self-confidence. He is the kind of man other men hate when they find they can't pull off the same thing.”

“She had a high tolerance for pain, and a low tolerance for bullshit.”

“It felt like a first date. Vega had never been on a first date. She could not remember sleeping with someone she hadn't been in a fistfight with first.”
― Two Girls Down

“I guess I never realized what a little bitch she was. So rude, such a know-it-all. Some kids you meet, you just can't wait for them to get out so you can watch the whole world crush them to bits.”
