You can see blood on the seat Jon Cryer is sitting on in the diner before the hitman starts blasting away with his shotgun. I guess it got stained in an earlier take and they couldn't get it out.

Hi there.

Doing well ?

I've been watching the scene you mentionned (on my dvd of that movie, with the slow play too), and I can tell you that there is no blood on the seat but there is a part of the seat that is torn out, that's maybe why you thought it was blood.

Fun little movie.

Have a nice day.

Isn't there some red tape on the seat?

And another - At the end when he meets Ryan at her college he says his "SAT scores were not that good" - yet he had attended Cornell - an Ivy League school?

I assume, under his new identity, the Justice Department had him re-take the SATs. It had been 10 years or so since he graduated high school. Not sure many people would do just as well (or better) on the SATs at 27 than they did at 17. Doesn't mean you are less smart; just means that what is tested on the SATs is drilled into you in high school.

He was joking about the SAT scores. It's not a goof. He deliberately chose to go to Ryan's school to hopefully reunite with her. It has nothing to do with his SATs. He had previously joked about his bad grades after returning to high school.

Yes, the government pulled strings to get him in, but that would be due to his new identity. They would do that for any school. He had the education to go to any school he wanted to pursue teaching. He just couldn't use his SAT scores or degrees from his previous identity. They would not make him take the SATs again as someone else suggested.

The people you idolize wouldn't like you.
