Snow Cake/Funny

"Alex: [My brother] is very successful and fit; he works in the stock exchange. He's what you'd call a "hotshot".
 * The following exchange between Vivienne and Alex:

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: Have you ever had an orgasm, Alex?
 * Linda explains just how much she loves to eat snow:

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."
