Gillian Flynn Quote

This is Nick’s wife, Amy, who was born and raised in New York City. And her friends, plump and welcoming, immediately suffer some strange Tourettesian episode: They repeat the words—New York City!—with clasped hands and say something that defies response: That must have been neat. Or, in reedy voices, they sing New York, New York, rocking side to side with tiny jazz hands. Maureen’s friend from the shoe store, Barb, drawls Nue York Ceety! Get a rope, and when I squint at her in confusion, she says, Oh, it’s from that old salsa commercial! and when I still fail to connect, she blushes, puts a hand on my arm, and says, I wouldn’t really hang you.
