Jesus, Peabody. Amazed, Eve slid out into traffic. You checked out her ass? I check out everyone's ass. It's a hobby. Get a new one. Like . . . bird-watching or something. Bird-watching? In New York?
In the story from "Concealed in Death" by J.D. Robb, Eve is surprised by a comment made by Jesus, Peabody. The conversation reveals Peabody's playful attitude, as he openly admits to looking at people's physical appearance, equating it to a hobby of sorts. His nonchalant perspective on checking out others invites a light-hearted exchange.
The humorous banter highlights the contrast between Eve's serious nature and Peabody's more carefree approach to life. Peabody suggests that Eve should consider a different hobby, like bird-watching, which adds an ironic twist given the urban setting of New York City, where such leisurely activities are scarce.
