If you met Estelle, and you were your average, breathing male, you'd probably want to sleep with her. If you were a woman, I'd almost guarantee you'd want to set her on fire.

Estelle considers herself a good person, she always tries to do the "right thing" and if people don't understand her, that's probably their fault. To Estelle, a lover and a mink stole have the same amount of emotional weight -- both make her warm and happy and look good. What else does she need?

In a clinical sense, Estelle is a borderline personality disorder, more likely a sociopath. Not in the Hollywood, slasher-killer-psycho sense, but the real sense: a person who does not recognize other people as being significant in any way past her own uses. She does want people -- to care about her and like her; to be in love with her and oh-so-happy just being around her -- but Estelle will never understand the concept of what giving any of that back means.

Estelle Rigault is played by Kim T. Ha.

ESTELLE: She's listening. I never listened.

INEZ: Why didn't you listen?

ESTELLE: Because I didn't care. I didn't care at all about him. He bored me. He always bored me. But he was mine.

INEZ: Why do you think you own him?

ESTELLE: I don't own him. He was just mine.
