I've never had apple pie, I blurted out. … You've never had apple pie? No. His brows rose. Why? I don't know. Just never tried it. That's so…so un-American, he said, and I rolled my eyes. Are you a terrorist?

In a conversation about food, one character reveals they've never experienced the classic dessert of apple pie. This surprising admission prompts a strong reaction from the other person, who expresses disbelief and curiosity about why they've never tried it. The near disbelief is amplified by the notion of apple pie as a symbol of American culture.

The discussion takes a lighthearted turn as the other character playfully suggests that such a lack of experience might be seen as unpatriotic, even jokingly questioning if the person could possibly be a terrorist. This exchange highlights not only cultural expectations but also the humorous nature of their conversation, showcasing how food can be tied to identity.

People pontificate, "Suicide is selfishness." Career churchmen like Pater go a step further and call in a cowardly assault on the living. Oafs argue this specious line for varying reason: to evade fingers of blame, to impress one's audience with one's mental fiber, to vent anger, or just because one lacks the necessary suffering to sympathize. Cowardice is nothing to do with it - suicide takes considerable courage. Japanese have the right idea. No, what's selfish is to demand another to endure an intolerable existence, just to spare families, friends, and enemies a bit of soul-searching.
