Quote #4
It was as if the fitter he got, the more obsessed by his own shape he became and the less interested he was in mine. (7.7)
Lou's relationship with her boyfriend Patrick...isn't great. He was a nice, normal bloke at first, but his obsession with personal fitness has taken over his entire life. Instead of paying attention to her, he merely pays attention to himself.
Quote #5
"Go, Patrick!" I yelled weakly. He didn't see me. (10.80-81)
This is a perfect metaphor for Lou and Patrick's relationship: he's always running toward his personal goals while she stands on the sidelines completely ignored. And she's supposed to be enthusiastic about this.
Quote #6
"I just...want to be a man who has been to a concert with a girl in a red dress. Just for a few minutes more." (12.150)
Spending time with Lou gives Will a sense of normalcy that he hasn't felt in a long time. He's probably gone to many concerts with many girls in red dresses (hopefully not more than one at the same time), but we're willing to bet that this is the most meaningful.
