“Plastic people flashing fake smiles at a pretend world.”
“People?" As though she'd never heard of such a thing. "They're like dolls. Plastic and shiny and fake.”
“some soap opera, you know, real people pretending to be fake people with made-up problems being watched by real people to forget their real problems.”
“You don't look fake when you unconsciously pretend.”
“You see how fake it all is. It's not even hard enough to be made out of plastic. It's a paper town.”
“The only thing you should be faking is confidence. If you don't have it yet, pretend that you do. Pretend you're not nervous, pretend you're not scared, and after a while, the pretend part disappears.”
