The night that
John and Lorraine's relationship changes is the night they stay at Mr. Pignati's house alone.
They dress up in the clothes they find, and Lorraine cooks dinner. There are a lot of
implications in this scene that John and Lorraine are putting on the costumes and behaviors of
adulthood and trying out how they feel, representing their development into adults. That night
they kiss, finally realizing the feelings they have for each other. They also drink a toast
"to the Pigman", which is symbolic of the ways that they value their friendship with
Mr. Pignati. John and Lorraine's change from people who wanted to take advantage to Mr. Pignati
into people who cared for him as a friend is an important piece of their development as
characters.
