Does anyone know what happened to Pete ? Dim and Georgie become cops, but they never say anything about Pete. [In the original version of the book, after Alex has his treatment (or, more acurately, his reversal of the treatment) Alex visits Pete, who is living in the suburbs with a wife and kids. Alex then decides that this is what he wants in life, so he gets married and settles. This ending is only in the British copy.]
Having not read the book, can someone please explain to me what the phrase A Clockwork Orange actually means? [It's explained in the preface to the book as a strange cockney expression, "Queer as a clockwork orange". Clockwork oranges don't exist, obviously, so it basically means something is exceptionally odd.]
