"Sounding to my own ears like Darlene in full throttle, I said: 'Don't play dumb. You invited me over here knowing she was going to pop in. To Kate, that means you're letting other people know you're a real couple...'"(Wolcott 268).
This quote, and others like it throughout the end of the book, shows the great impact that Darlene had on Johnny. Although he does not like her at this point in the story, he has gained a new point of view on the behavioral patterns of women. I think that Wolcott wants the reader to question whether gaining this new perspective was worth losing Amanda. The simple answer would be no, that a relationship is more valuable than a new acquired skill, however in the long run, Johnny may be happier and have less issues with his girlfriends because he is now able to better relate to them thanks to Darlene.
