THERAPIST: What was that thought?
JULES: Well… Like… Most girls, when you first talk to them, they, like, automatically analyze and compare themselves to you. And then, you know, they, they search for where you fit in their hierarchy, and then they treat you accordingly.
THERAPIST: What hierarchy?
JULES: Like, how close you are to what they all collectively want to be. Like, in their heads.
THERAPIST: Right.
JULES: And, you know, even if they’ve, like, mastered the art of hiding it with, like, smiles and nods, and small talk, it’s, like, you’d still catch them doing it. Like, like their eyes wandering over your face, or… or, you know, the quick takes up and down your body. Or like, they watch how your clothes hang off your torso, or, like, they look for what tags are on your clothes to see where you shop, or they’ll watch your hands to find, like, f*cked-up cuticles or chipped nail polish. Honestly, it would, it would be a kind of sensual experience if it wasn’t so f*cking terrifying.
THERAPIST: So they want to find flaws.
JULES: Yeah. Uh, most girls.
