I left my Idoru book at home when i came back to school but im looking for that quote from when Blackwell and Laney are eating breakfast after all the crazyness in the love Hotel. Specifically what Blackwell said about the black mail.

p. 364 of my copy Blackwell's final soliloquy to Laney. Is the quote in here?


"No," said Blackwell," she won"t, because that would be a violation of the very personal terms I will have established in our conversation. That's the key word her, Laney, 'personal.' 'up close, and.' We will not meet, we will not carve out this deep and meaningful and bloody unforgetttable episode of mutual face-time as representatives of our respective faceless corportations Not at all. It's one-on-one time for your Kathy and I, and it may well prove to be as intimat, and I may hope enlightening, as any sh ever had. Because I will bring a new certainty into her life, and we all need certainties. They help build character. And I wil leave your Kathy with the deepest possible conviction that if she crossesme, she will die-buot onlly after she's been made to desire that, absolutely."

Good one
"Well," said Blackwell, "when you find that fair land, I will go
there with you myself. We'll live Off fruit and nuts, commune with
275
all that's left of bloody nature. But 'til then, Laney, I'm going to have a
conversation with your Kathy Torrance. I will explain certain things to her.
Nothing complicated. Simple, simple protocols of cause and effect. And she will
never allow Slitscan to run that footage of your doppelganger[s]."
