Maybe I wasn't paying attention, but didn't VONNIE have...


... other friends, aside from BOBBY? I mean, she gets dumped and there's no other shoulder she can cry on than him? The guy who had already tried to ask her out?

reply

She had a roommate who was shown in the movie.

You think maybe Bobby's special to her? Subconsciously or maybe deliberately, she knows she's got this guy wrapped around her little finger without even trying, and that's the guy she wants around. She was looking for...who knows? Maybe revenge on the ex, maybe acceptance, maybe consolation, maybe an ego-boost. Who knows? Maybe she was sorta hoping that the evening would play out that way - getting dumped so she can free herself up and finally date Bobby and try a healthier relationship. Coulda been any of it or all of it, but she wouldn't have gone to any other friend, nor her sister or her mother if she could have cabbed it over to a relative's place. No, she wanted Bobby.
