Knocking you up is the only way he can prove he really has balls
That line by Michael Shannon was the best line in the movie. I LMAO when he said it and had to watch it twice after.

Don't get me wrong, I don't mind smoking in movies but this was ridiculous. What was the point? I found the constant lighting up a distraction and the actors didn't look too natural either. Can anyone give a reasonable explanation of why there was much?
Spoilt a good movie for me.
Prodigious smoking (and drinking) were much more pervasive in the mid-fifties.
shareHe was labeled insane yet was the most rational and honest. It's a bad habit for the sane to try and fake happiness.
I thought it was silly though that the movie implied Frank could have purposely impregnated her. Chances are she was the one taking care of the birth control.
I remember her apologizing which was also ridiculous because nothing, even then was known, to be 100 percent.
Irony...gotta luv it

True, but it may also be true that on some heretofore unconscious level Frank wanted to abandon Paris plans by keeping his wife "barefoot and pregnant". Once revealed by the guest to the group and to Frank, self-doubt, shame and guilt ensued.
I agree, it gave him the out. Moving and pursuing the unknown is one of the scariest things a person can do. During the sex scene she also whispered "no, no". I think she knew a baby would derail the plans and realized too late when getting swept up in the passion and giddiness of being "above" everyone else that they should be using some sort of birth control.
shareLuvmykitty, you are right, but they could have had the child in Paris! And slowly sold computers in Europe....one day!
