Jake hears Brett and Mike laughing together in the next room. That is probably torturous for him. Brett lies awake and tries to convince himself that it would be better to just be friends with Brett. He wants to be more but he knows that he will have to settle for less. He thinks about girls that make "swell friends" and Brett has always been a great friend to him. (even though she hooked up with his best friend...no biggie)
“Enjoying living was learning to get your money’s worth.”
Jake struggles with accepting his own philosophy. He thinks about how he wished that Mike would not insult Cohn. This is understandable because he is his best friend. It was bitter sweet watching them fight. He liked that it wasn't him and that Cohn was getting what he deserved, but it rubs him the wrong way watching his friend get ridiculed.
