    Pair of Biceps?

    "I just talked to a pair of biceps."

    Does Cary normally dehumanized people or only people of whom he looks down upon?

    If he'd spoken to a female officer, would he have referred to a "pair of breasts"?

    And what's the LW pretending not to know--her honey's had manic episodes before, but she was willing to overlook those when he seemed to be on the big-paycheck track? But now that he's gone all Sgt. York, she's concerned? Right.
