Nola is attracted to the best in each of them, but refuses to commit to any of them, cherishing her personal freedom instead while each man wants her for himself. Her carefree sexually liberated lifestyle ultimately comes to an end when her three male suitors meet and compare notes on Nola. While Greer justifies Nola's callous behavior by claiming that she sees the three not as individuals but as a collective, Jamie and Mars become bitter over how little Nola cares for all three men.
