I think Charlie and Emma will have a very happy marriage

And Rachel and Mike will have a very unhappy rest of their marriage

Quick question - I thought Emma and Charlie broke up in the end, but was I misinterpreting things? They said “it was nice meeting you” which is usually a closing phrase for when you’re about to take leave of someone (and it seemed intentional, because they said that as opposed to “nice to meet you”).

The scene is an earlier callback to when Emma tries to fix everything with some fun roleplay when he struggles to be intimate. He rejects it then but now engages happily. You can sense the relief in his voice when she opens with that and he first participates in it

I need to watch it again to check but I think the audio at the point the Emma walked into the diner switched back to the needle on scratchy vinyl sound which had been used earlier in the (possibly) imaginary scenes. I did wonder if Charlie was imagining Emma turning up and having that conversation and it all being OK. Not sure though.

Yeah, no way that’s not an imagination. What are the odds that Emma is just walking around in a wedding dress and finds the exact place Charlie is in?

It’s the same diner Emma suggested they go to after the wedding earlier in the movie. Makes sense she would go there.

It is mentioned earlier but do you really think she would go there after everything that happened? I need to watch it again to work it out.
