The restaurant/sprinkler scene


This film was on the telly earlier and I was only half paying attention to it. Why was Hilary so afraid of her mum and Mr Big seeing each other at this point, when neither of them knew about the other one? I didn't understand why this was so dramatic. Did I miss something?

From what I remember, the girls had taken a photo of the uncle and sent it to the mother. So, since mom now knows what he looks like, naturally she would approach him at the restaurant. Not to mention, he's supposed to be in China! Plus he has no idea about her so he would wonder what she was talking about. The whole story would come apart. Hope I explained it OK.

Yes, you did a nice job. Now when Ben went to the bakery, Jean didn't quite act like she recognized him. He obviously found her very attractive. It is a nice movie to watch when weather keeps you in the house.
