Joy/Hulga affects a cynical façade, claiming not to believe in anything. (As she tells Manley, "I don 't have illusions. I 'm one of those people who sees through to nothing.")

For example, Chris talks to CD about Roxanne and says she is not a rocket scientists but the audience knows she actually is: “What am I afraid of her for?
