Reggie Mantle – Character Quotes

– When my dad got arrested, the police, the lawyers, the judge, the courts, they took everything from us. Our houses, our cars, our club memberships, our yacht, even – I'm not kidding – the clothes off our backs. Anyway, my mom sat me down on the edge of my canopy bed and told me not to cry, because there was one thing in this world that no one could ever take from me. Not ever.
– Your trust fund?
– My name, Reggie. Which, after telling me no one would ever take it, that is exactly what she did. Like it meant nothing. It was nothing. Like I was nothing.

– Did your mom cut you off?
– She did.
– And that's a good thing?
– Oh, Reggie. This is how we Lodge women roll. We feint, we parry, we approach, we retreat. We're like a cobra and a mongoose dancing. She blinked, which means, I suspect, that Hermione Lodge is ready to negotiate.
