" Whatever it was we were looking for, we weren't about to find it at Greasy Lake. Not that night." (Boyle, T. Pg. 115)
This quote from Greasy Lake really sums up the point of the story. Tonight is going to be different than other nights. Events will take place that have lasting physical and psychological effects on all of the players in this story, especially the primary character. They are going to know more about who they are than they ever will again on this night, and it will happen in a matter of minutes. Excitement, fear, rage, lust, fear again, sorrow, guilt, relief, and then ultimately loneliness. It all happens so fast and when the dust settles, Greasy Lake will never look the same.
