Polonius:

--- Quote from: Merrick on 31 Aug 2010, 15:19 ---I thought of something else.

SOMETHING woke Dora up.

The sound of talking. So if it woke her up, and she had time to get dressed (as she appeared to be sleeping nude or at least topless), then surely she would have heard the conversation of 'I really like Angus' and 'I'm glad you're my friend'.

SHE MUST HAVE OVERHEARD THEM TO HAVE GONE IN DAMMIT

SO what the fuck is she playing at? Looking for an excuse to dump Marten? To fire Faye? To TAKE OVER THE APARTMENT FOR HERSELF.


We may never know.



...or just find out tomorrow.

I think you're on to something.  When you read Dora's dialogue, she never actually says that she's upset or what she's upset about.  Instead, she focuses instead on how it looks, and how they should have known how it looked.  She's basically saying "You know that I'm a jealous girl with trust issues, so you should have known that if I saw this I'd be upset."  Note that she's not accusing them of anything.

I think it's likely tomorrow's strip is her returning to the room to apologize, but in the meantime, I think that she's angry because she feels she can be, not because something really bothered her.

So in other words she's not insecure (at least, not unless it related directly to her brother), just a sneakier hell-bitch than Faye? That actually slots in with her manipulative behavior during Cosettegate.

Hey!!  We have better things to do than make useless items such as these!!  We're a major metropolitan area!  They're probably made in Iowa or North Dakota, where there is literally nothing better to do  :)

I didn't say they were made in San Francisco, just that you could get one there.

Like all retail products in America today, dick-brooms are made in China.

San Francisco, but you can get them shipped to anywhere except Texas, Mississippi and Alabama.

Oh come on now.  There's no such thing as Iowa.

Yes there is.  I spent a lovely week driving through it one afternoon...

If this was a TV show, I'd swear it was sweeps week.
