"Tell me about Wind Gap." Curry held the tip of a ballpoint pen at his grizzled chin.  I could picture the tiny prick of blue it would leave among the stubble.

"It's at the very bottom of Missouri, in the boot heel.  Spitting distance from Tennessee and Arkansas," I said, hustling for my facts.  Curry loved to drill reporters on any topics he deemed pertinent - the number of murders in Chicago last year, the demographics for Cook County, or, for some reason, the story of my hometown, a topic I preferred to avoid.  "It's been around since before the Civil War," I continued.  "It's near the Mississipi, so it was a port city at one point.  Now its biggest business is hog butchering.  About two thousand people live there.  Old money and trash."

"Which are you?"

"I'm trash.  From old money." I smiled.  He frowned.

"And what the hell is going on?"

pp. 3, paperback edition of Sharp Objects by Gillian Flynn

I loved that the miniseries pretty much replicated this scene from the book.  I fell in love with Camille Preaker when she said that she was "trash."  Miguel Sandoval plays Frank Curry, who is basically a father figure to Camille.
