Two Questions...Maybe Spoilers


1. What was the daughter crying about at the end when they went back into the house.

2. What was it the wife wanted to tell her husband at the end when she says there is something I need to say to you. Any help out there on theses questions.

1. They broke up right before that, which is why the boyfriend refuses to accept his money to go to dinner. Its also the reason he shows up at the end to take the daughter away, although the FBI probably pulled them over right after to tell them what was going on.

2. I have no idea what she said, but its implied they get back together as a couple after that.

Maybe one more question.. I could not remember why they were getting a divorce, was it he was cheating on her.

My recollection is that Hopkins' character did have a girlfriend, but I can't remember if he started dating her while his family was "happy", or after he and Rogers separated. I think it must have been cheating the way the wife acted to him early in the movie.
