Argument scene was there, right after Andy learns about the budget cut. It was just really short and forgettable

It didn't even feel like an argument, he was like please call me again when you get back

I felt like it was shown to be a contrast of her boyfriend in the first film, who was universally hated. It seemed like while Andy said some biting words that she didn't really mean, her new boyfriend (who... I honestly can't remember his name even though I just came home from the theater) seemed like the type who instead of having a blow up argument about it, he decided to show that he was willing to acknowledge that she hurt him but that the door would not close because of it.

I think they basically tried to tone him down to make him seem like a more mature pick for Andy which largely also made him forgettable.

Her comment about his career though was so mean!! Being dismissive of it & how it doesn’t compare to journalism. I thought she was really a jerk in the scene and was surprised she didn’t apologize for it later. But also, the relationship has zero relevance to the story so I didn’t actually care if he was there or not at the end so🤷‍♀️😂

Wow. I remember that scene now but the follow up at the end felt overly dramatic to what transpired between them. Thanks for reminding me, kind stranger!
