What was the point of standing her up? *mild spoilers*


Mr. Ulman arranges to meet up with her, yet stands her up.

Was he merely sizing her up from a distance? But why bother? Why not size her up in person?




I'd say this cloud is Cumulo Nimbus.
Didn't he discover America?
Penfold, shush.

That's a good question, I had totally forgotten about that. Maybe to see how accommodating and easy to manipulate she is?

Good theory.
I had thought that might be it, to see how *desperate* she really is (taking the job despite being treated badly).

Stupid theory, not to mention WRONG. DO you morons not pay attention to anything? He told her in the kitchen that he originally hired another girl. DUH. If you couldn't figure out that's why he didn't go meet her you really are dumb.

Lol tell them how you REALLY feel

You could be completely WRONG too, you MORON. Unless you're Ti West? Their ideas are more sensible than yours.

Well, when HIS idea was stated in the movie out of the characters mouth (from the script) and the others are mere speculation, I'd say his idea is more sensible.

He was not nice about it, but I think he's right, yes.
