Question: What was the episode where everyone but, I believe, Christine was shocked to learn that a prosecutor wasn't really a lawyer? He only pretended to be one. While the others were shocked, Christine looked happy.
Questions about specific movies, TV shows and more
These are questions relating to specific titles. General questions for movies and TV shows are here. Members get e-mailed when any of their questions are answered.
Question: Why didn't Yogurt just tell Lone Starr the meaning of his medallion earlier?
Question: Why exactly did the son want to destroy both the Jedi and Sith when that won't bring balance?
Question: Why was Bagheera not happy that Baloo survived his fight with Shere Khan?
Question: What happened to Rebecca in the third and fourth movie?
Question: I'm a bit confused about something. David tried to kill Bruce when he was just a baby out of fear that he would become a monster. After Bruce's first transformation, David is shown as crying about it. Why then, later in the movie, does he now want all of the Hulk's power?
Question: Why did they have to use a bomb to blow out the door to slow the Hermes for the rendezvous with Watney? Wouldn't simply opening the door have the same effect?
Question: Did Crispin Glover audition for the role of Marty before being cast as George?
Question: Why did the two cops threaten to put Matilda in an orphanage? Matilda had nothing to do with her father's dirty dealings.
Answer: The cops are being unprofessional and rude, but they probably have experience dealing with people like Matilda's parents. They assume that she will have few options - if any - after her father goes to jail. No responsible family members who will take her into their home, etc. Depending on what Mrs. Wormwood might be charged with (being an accessory to her husband's crimes), she could also go to jail, and Matilda will need to be placed in an orphanage or foster care.
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.
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.
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?

Answer: He tells Lone Starr he can only know what it means at the "proper time." Which, of course, ends up being right before the ending, conveniently at just the right moment for him to be able to marry the princess. It's a borderline meta-joke; he finally is told what it means, but only when it's super convenient for the plot. It's kind of poking fun at the idea of tropes and clichés like this, where a last-minute revelation saves the day.
