Emerald City
“KATE: Awesomely powerful and fabulously rich?
COLIN: Yes.
KATE: Colin, I can understand your anxieties, but this isn’t the way to handle them. You mustn’t compromise your integrity.
COLIN: Of course, you’ve never compromised your integrity, have you?
KATE: No.
COLIN: No. Your boss told me he was enormously pleased with the ethnic cookbook series you’ve initiated.
KATE: [embarrassed] That’s just to give me commercial credibility, so I can do the books I really want to, like Black Rage.
COLIN: He... told me that the South-East Asian section breaks new ground. What have you got? Fretilin-style snacks for eating on the run? And which one of us insisted on ferreting our daughter through a seventy-year waiting list into the most exclusive girls school in Sydney? Where all her friends live within half a mile of each other in Bellevue Hill, and where she’s already planning to graduate at twenty-one, marry at twenty-seven, have two daughters named Francesca and Chloe, divorce her husband at thirty-two and recommence her stockbroking career.MoreLess
