Despite his disdain for these women, he can’t help but feel a caretaker’s instinct toward them. If any of them would just let him in, he’d help transform her into a respectable woman with parables, frankincense, a proper diet, Pavlovian techniques and reading material (consulted before bedtime, which is a study technique)

After her balanced, meditative day, the girl would be able to concentrate quite effectively on her nighttime reading…just as she concentrates on Ghostface’s fanmail — as a properly jealous girlfriend should — to see what his groupies have to say

If you don’t smoke, why are you reaching for my blunt (Dutches are Dutch Masters, used for rolling blunts)?

Also, ASCAP (stands for “American Society of Composers, Authors and Publishers”) is an association that monitors radio broadcasts to ensure that recording artists get paid. There’s no record of beef between Cam and ASCAP, but he does have a reputation for being contentious about royalties, so maybe there’s something there..
