Chapter 1: Section 4: Page 31: Line 116 (488)

 "This is Foley Walker," said Scarsdale Vibe, "in whom his mother claims to find virtues not immediately apparent to others."

In other words, a face only a mother could love. But in this case, the "face" is his entire attitude. But then we all know the type. A stand up polite young man with good grades and a great car with a respectable job who your mother remarks every time she sees him, "Why can't you and your friend be more like him?" And then he later gets arrested for constantly coming in his shorts whenever he wrestled with the young boys he taught soccer. And now you're wondering what the hell your mom wants you to do with the rest of your life if that's her role model for you!

No wait. Maybe it's different than that because this is Foley's own mother singing his praises. But that's just what mother's do, right? Which is the entire point Scarsdale is trying to get across. Foley is an awful person and the only one fooled is his mother because mothers are full of unconditional love for their progeny.
