Continuity mistake: In the scene where Justine's husband needs 'help' at the doctor's office, Justine is wearing a flannel shirt and overalls. Then, when she's back at work, she's suddenly wearing a multicolored sweater briefly for one scene (which is what she wears two days later during the day she talks to Holden's parents), then at the end of the day she's suddenly wearing the same flannel shirt and overalls. (00:57:45)
The Good Girl (2002)
Directed by: Miguel Arteta
Starring: Jennifer Aniston, Jake Gyllenhaal, John Carroll Lynch, Mike White, Deborah Rush
Visible crew/equipment: Towards the end of the movie, there is a scene in a kitchen where you can see the microphone on a boom above the actors, almost out of camera range, but not quite.
Visible crew/equipment: Several shots in the movie show an employee in a manager's booth giving announcements over the store loudspeaker. In virtually every different shot you can see the camera reflected in the glass of the manager's booth.
Trivia: The nurse in the doctor's office when Phil goes in to test his sperm is also in the scene as an employee when the store sees on the TV that Holden has died.
Justine: What are we doing here?
Holden: Makin' one outta two.
Justine: I thought if I died today what would happen to me? A hateful girl... A selfish girl... An adulteress... A liar.
Bubba: If I were a woman, I'd be a slut. A lesbian slut.
Question: When Phil and Justine talk about her being pregnant, she wonders if anything is "really" going to change. He asks what she means, and the scene ends. What did she mean?
Question: How come Justine never tells Phil, apparently, about Bubba blackmailing her to have sex with him? Phil found out that she had an affair anyway, so Bubba can no longer threaten her.
Question: When Bubba told Justine about the bill for the motel, why did he think she would tell Phil about them? They were never at the motel.
Answer: Bubba was afraid that if Phil confronted Justine about the hotel bill that, not only would she confess about her affair with Holden, but that she might also tell Phil about what happened with Bubba.

Answer: I think she wanted to put the whole situation behind her. When Phil asked if she cheated with the security guard from work, she let him believe it. She was able to convince him that the baby was definitely his, not the guard's. Telling him about Bubba would only make the situation worse. Also, Bubba had seen her with Holden, so he could try and convince Phil that she was lying about the security guard. It would create a bigger mess. She decided to accept her life as it was.
