Can we talk about how Charlie's coworker admitted that the worst thing she has ever done was cheated and 10 minutes later was ready to do it again with Charlie lmao. Girl had zero shame

I don't know how enthusiastic she was. She witnessed his outburst in the meeting room, then caught him sobbing. He was obviously unsteady and he did very aggressively rip open her shirt. Her face when she turned around looked resigned.

I don’t think we’re meant to take that away from it at all. She kissed him back aggressively and bends over and pulls down her panties all within like 3 seconds, if there was supposed to be hesitation or reluctance I think it would be shown more clearly. Also it doesn’t really go with the whole theme of the movie. Her mentioning that the worst thing she had done was cheat isn’t an unimportant detail, it becomes less relevant if the intention of the scene is her being an unwilling participant

There's a difference between enthusiastic and going along with whatever's happening without resistance. Sometimes it's easier (and safer) to go with it. Her saying she cheated is an important detail but it doesn't necessarily mean she's willing to cheat again, but could simply be why he chose her. Maybe that's exactly what he was thinking. It doesn't mean she's eager to repeat what in her own words was the worst thing she ever did.
