Thanks for verifying the director's intent. I was a little unsure, too. Did Porter really try to run off with Addie or was just saying it to give Deborah peace of mind for just a little while until she realized her husband wasn't really coming back, or was he telling the truth and Brad was coming back. "You're quite a guy" could mean lying to make Deborah happy if only for a night, or could mean confessing near-infidelity so Deborah wouldn't be fretting all night until Brad really did show up. In fact that was the whole reason I came here looking for answers. Would've been just slightly better if Porter and/or his wife would have finally said "I love you" to each other, perhaps even simultaneously to show that both were finally putting their pride aside to "say it first".
