Not that I knew who you were until last month. But now that I've got you, I'm not letting you go."" You're not?" Blake stared at her in irritated confusion. What was her game? "Do you think I'm an idiot?" he spat out." No, " she said. "I've just escaped from a den of idiots, so I'm well familiar with the breed, and you're something else entirely.

About This Quote

In this quote, Blake is indicating that he was not expecting a woman to ask him a question about a rifle. When a woman asks a man a question about something relating to guns, it is usually an indication that the woman is mostly interested in the man himself and not in the gun itself. In other words, she is not being herself, but playing games trying to get him to show her his best side.
