Why did she put her newly purchased panties in the trash?


?

She was trying to save her marriage but then had a change of heart and chucked them in the trash.

reply

Those were her old panties she threw away. She was wearing the new ones when she went to the beach house.

reply

No, they were the new ones. She was supposed to have a rendezvous with her husband (lover?) at a seaside motel but he stood her up. She called him from the pay phone and they exchanged words, then she dumped the bag with the panties in the trash.

Hmm... I always assumed the panties were used. It makes the scene much sleazier. LOL And she went to the beach house after she threw them away. Why would she throw away the new ones if she was still going there?

reply

But I thought she put the new ones on in the store, and so those were the old ones she threw away. I'm pretty sure of that.

Yes, you're right. She put the new ones on in the changing room, and put her old ones in the bag at the desk before leaving the store, so the old ones got thrown away.

Really? You watched this whole movie and that is your one concern?

Maybe they smelled funky.

Yes, they were soiled!

In the directors cut there is a sign on the trash can that reads "Newly Purchased Panty Disposal".
