So how did....(SPOILER)


...Matty / Mary Ann blow up the boat house without offing herself in the process?

The door is rigged (isn't it?) to go off when Hurt opens it, so how did she do that from far enough away to avoid the blast?

"...Matty / Mary Ann blow up the boat house without offing herself in the process? "

She had a delay on it (probably 30 sec. ). Mickey Roarkes character told this to Ned.She swam away after the boat house blew up .When Ned get's her year book it say's she was a good "swimmer".

Oh, thank you! I didn't catch that :)

Your welcome. They did a lot of mumbling in that film. The waitress tells Ned something about Dr. Block(gossip stuff) and I can't make out what she is saying and I've seen this film 20 times! lol

Here is the dialogue from the scene that perplexed you. I assume you were watching the movie on a DVD. If so, you can select the sub-titles option at the main menu or from the remote control to view the text. There are a lot of great movies where the actors mumble their lines. That is why I always turn on the subtitles feature.

Stella(Waitress):
Did you hear about Dr. Block?
Ned:No. Do I want to?

Stella(Waitress):
Agnes Marshall

Ned:
Must have been Mrs. Block's idea of punishment.

Stella(Waitress):
You know ... that's right. How did you know that? You are better plugged in than I am. I guess you know about Mrs. Block friend in Ocean Grove.

Ned:
Stella, this is beneath even you. Things must be slow.

Stella(Waitress):
It's the heat.

According to what I've read, the bomb was on a timer. She opened the door and immediately jumped in the lake a swam away just before the bomb ignited.
