Lindsey recites the Archduke Franz Ferdinand tour guide speech. Colin and Hassan decide to trick the Lindsey's friends (boyfriend, TOC (the other Colin), Chase (Jeans Are Too Tight) and Fulton (Short One Chewing Tobacco) and Katrina)) by pretending to be cousins from France. The lead up to this is hilarious as they decide what 'characters' they are going to be. Hollis (Lindsey's Mom) recognizes Colin from KranialKidz. She decides to cook dinner for the Hassan and Colin. On the drive to Lindsey's large house, they pass the factory that provides the jobs for the people in Gutshot. On the mantel above the fireplace is a picture of Lindsey in dark clothing going for the "goth" look that Lindsey later. Colin works on his Theorem and he and Hassan are offered a job by Hollis who will pay them five hundred dollars a week for them to interview. They decide to play Scrabble and Colin wins by a sizable margin. They are staying at the Wells' house. We come to The End (of the Beginning).
page 63:
"When Hollis spoke, it seemed to break a long quiet, the way alarm clocks do."
page 66:
"Colin, for whatever reason, had always loved desks with empty drawers."
{I wonder why. There doesn't have to be a reason at all, but I really like to think of Colin this way. And although there could be a lot of hidden meaning in this, I'm happy to accept that he just likes a desk with empty drawers.}
page 68:
"'I was thinking about this tonight, actually, that maybe I want strangers to think I'm cool since people who actually know me don't.'"
{This is something to relate to. I mean, who doesn't want to impress people that they're meeting for the first time? Who doesn't want someone to think they're actually cooler than what the people they know already do?}
