Your place looks like the World's Fair, I said. Does it? He turned his eyes toward it absently. I have been glancing into some of the rooms. Let's go to Coney Island, old sport. In my car.

‘Your place looks like the World’s Fair,’ I said.
‘Does it?’ He turned his eyes toward it absently. ‘I have been glancing into some of the rooms. Let’s go to Coney Island, old sport. In my car.’
‘It’s too late.’
‘Well, suppose we take a plunge in the swimming-pool? I haven’t made use of it all summer.’
‘I’ve got to go to bed.’
‘All right.’

– F. Scott Fitzgerald

The Great Gatsby. Chapter 5, Gatsby has a house full of people. But all he wants is one friend to go swimming with him. Despite his wealth and grand parties, Gatsby is a lonely man and doesn’t have any true friends.
