I agree with most things here. But i don't think that paulie put tory on a pedestal. Paulie realy loves tory in spite of all her weaknesses, illustrated by the passage where she tells she can see when tory is lying.
I think that the duel part is mostly a flaw in the script and meant to illustrate paulies strength as well as the level of insanity she is supposed to have reached than.

I want to comment on the things sayd above about guys not taking the love between women seriously: i am a guy and i've been in love with another guy and more or less the same thing that happened to paulie in the movie, happened to me. I can tell that it also happens that women don't take the love between men seriously.

But anyway. I think that lesbians and gay man are more or less in the same boat here.

I know how deeply humiliating it is when this happens.
