Funny / Snow Cake

• The following exchange between Vivienne and Alex:
  Alex: [My brother] is very successful and fit; he works in the stock exchange. He's what you'd call a "hotshot".
  Vivienne: "Hotshot", eh? Well, you know what they say: Behind every successful man is a very surprised woman.
  Alex: He's gay.
  Vivienne: ...That's my point exactly.
• Linda explains just how much she loves to eat snow:
  Linda: Have you ever had an orgasm, Alex?
  Alex: It's been known.
  Linda: Vivienne once described to me what an orgasm feels like. It sounds to me like an inferior version of what I feel when I eat snow.
