I’m at Sherri’s new house. It’s a palace, except it’s incredibly gaudy. I’m supposed to be impressed by how much stuff they have. I take a tour and comment on how they have an escalator that curves. Curving escalators are really difficult to pull off.
There’s a store they’ve set up at the exit to the house where you can buy their cast-off items. I rummage through some goods along with a few other women, but we all agree the prices are too high. I am embarrassed that they want us to buy their used stuff.
I go to lunch with their family in a big library. I’m asked to go and pull a book by Tom Wolfe off the shelf. But I can’t find the book, I can only find photocopied sections of his books. I bring back a stack of these photocopies to the table, but I’m horribly embarrassed. The father condemns me for not bringing the book back.
