On Bill's second, now long-distance, relationship with Laurie
>"Bill hated being apart, writing her long lovesick letters [...] sometimes twice a day. "The rest is so meaningless," he wrote. "It only takes a meaning when I'[m with you - my love. And when we're apart - motions. Without love, life is meaningless motion". He could see what an "irresponsible infant" he was, he told her, and "how much other people take care of me"

On Bill's anger at Laurie and second break-up
>"but Bill was still tortured by bits of her past. After they had broken up in high school, Laurie had started dating this guy named Mike Warthan. [...] Bill hated his guys. When Bill found out they'd had sex without using a condom, it drove him nuts. [...] Bill became obsessed with the question of when a guy comes in a girl, does it all ever really come out? "There's no way. All those folds. All of those weird places. It just goes on forever. [...] So in essence whenever I am going down on her, I am eating Mike Warthan.""
