Poor Jay Gatsby didn\'t wait for his ship to come in; he swam out to it to make his fortune. So why did he change his strategy when it came to rekindling his relationship with Daisy Buchanan? Instead he played the waiting game, praying to the dim light at the end of the pier, hearing the distant ringing of the bell from across the bay, waiting for her to come and take him away, so that they could row against the current, borne back ceaselessly into the past.\n\nSeriously though, I think Jill is winking at us about the mentality of waiting forever for your opportunity to come to you. She\'s playing the flawed character who won\'t act for her life to change but waits for it to happen to her, dreaming about whether or not she wants revenge on the person who broke her heart or to take them with her on her imagined future success. Definitely something most of us can relate to, and it sounds like a rollicking party to boot. (I\'d love to hear this over ending credits to a movie.)
