Claudette: “Gerry wrote something on his blog about me being one of the meanest people. I don’t think I’m a mean person at all.”

“Gerry didn’t say that. I think he was just quoting something someone had said.”

“Who would say that? I’m a totally kind and gentle person. You know that,” said Claudette. “I’m only mean to fuckin’ stupid people.”

“I know,” I said. “Maybe it was one of your enemies who said it. Or one of your admirers.”

“I don’t have any enemies. But men are always rude to me when they want to fuck me.”

“Shut up.”
