Don't look at me like that, " said Ruza."Like what?"" Like I'm a beautiful book you're about to open and plunder with your greedy mad eyes.

Don't look at me like that,
Don't look at me like that,
Don't look at me like that,
Don't look at me like that,
About This Quote

This quote is a clear example of Ruza's exceptional ability to use humor to diffuse tense situations. This quote is an example of the duality of humor which means that it has both dark and light sides. The darkest side of this quote is that Ruza is telling the narrator that he sees her as his next victim. The light side is that Ruza refuses to change his approach with the narrator. He will break down her walls one by one if he must, but he will not give up on her.
