She couldn't go change in the bathroom?


So her brother was being a pest and refusing to look away while she was trying to change into PJs. Well, what better idea than to go change out in the hall!? Because God knows you can't go change in a bathroom or something.

I know that scene was made with the intention to show the very first time Ruby felt uncomfortable and creeped out in the Glass house, but seriously. This was stupid to me.

She was just acting out of force of habit. When her parents were alive, she used to disrobe in the hallways all the time. Her dad raised her that way. He said, "I like to watch my little girl growing up." Originally the family was from West Virginia. She was only uncomfortable getting observed in the new house because of the new surroundings, plus she thought everyone else was in bed.

You can learn about this in the director's cut.

I know I'm like five years too late, but this post made me laugh much harder than it should have.

I was thinking the EXACT same thing everytime I watch this movie.

I just watched that scene and thought exactly the same thing....the hallway not the bathroom. seemed highly unlikely.

There was no bathroom in this house! (We laughed at this scene a lot, whole family).

Bilwick....if that's true...then that dad was as much of creeper as Mr glass....I find your statement hard to believe....

LMAO!

I'm with OP. WTF, why can't she go to the bathroom? Plain stupid. I have to change in the bathroom many times when I'm at friends. It's common sense.

Please excuse my terrible redaction, english is not my native language.

Because she was an exhibitionist but doesnt approve Incest

And even if a hallway is your only option who strips off like that in the hallway of a house where you barely know the owners, you can actually change tops and then remove your bra while wearing the PJ top its not difficult seriously girl!!!

That whole thing was weird up the wazoo. I know the brother was young and is getting to be that age where he would be curious and interested in looking at older naked women, but I don't know any young kid who would want to look at his sister unless he had those tendencies. I mean the fact she warned him about looking away was probably meant to be a laugh line, but it just made me question their brother/sister relationship prior to the start of this movie.

Oh for pete's sake, he was just being annoying and she was impatient, so she didn't wait for him to shape up. It may seem unlikely, but maybe the bathroom was farther away and she just wanted to be fast.
