Daisy's reaction when she thought Charlie was two timing her

My least favorite part of the movie, actually

Attack of the Pepperoni Monsters http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00C4GFK08

Charlie *would've* been....
He *wouldn't've* been....

I know it *sounds* like 'of' but you're actually saying 'have', just not pronouncing it properly.

This goes for should've (should have), could've (could have), must've (must have).

This is a pet peeve of mine: that people think they're saying 'of' when they're actually saying 'have'.

Agreed, I admit that I'd have a hard time turning Daisy away (especially when played by a young and silly hot Julia) but that would have been a HUGE red flag for me.

Daisy's the type of girl who supports that god awful Carrie Underwood song about a psycho girl busting up a dude's car with a bat.

"Mr. Treehorn treats objects like women, man."

She was a dumb bitch. Especially since he and the girl did NOTHING that even looked romantic or suggestive. Any man in his right mind would head for the hills after such an insane display of bad behavior. Talk about a red flag!


"It's Minnie Pearl's murder weapon."

I disagree.She really liked him and He did tell her she was going to see his Grandmother and when she saw him coming out of a restaurant holding another girl's hand,not knowing he tried to call her earlier in the night,it's totally understandable.In all fairness,that was pretty tame for back then,compared to what someone might do in todays age.

It's over the top but I think we are supposed to think of Daisy as a drama queen with a quick temper and also very insecure.

I agree that it's over the top, but when this movie came out, my girlfriends took me to see it to cheer me up because I had just been dumped. The guy who dumped me had a car that be loved, and boy, could I understand the impulse! I wouldn't have actually done it, but it was cathartic watching her do it!

Of course it was infuriating to watch but it was a perfect example of how often Daisy made her own problems because of her impulsive nature, which was something the character was struggling with (as her Mom reminded her every day) throughout the movie. Both Daisy and Charlie were misfits and only when they had each other to challenge, could they begin to grow in a way they couldn't just stuck feeling like the non-traditional "f*#k-ups" of their respective families.

I have a feeling relationships (and maybe even past jobs) ended for Daisy a lot, in this way: She jumps to conclusions, blows up and then, regrets her temper but it's too late to remedy the situation. She was destructive, emotional and chaotic, probably always realized her mess-ups immediately after committing them and even she knew she'd gone too far, when Charlie explains to her and she realizes she was wrong and acted insane. Amazed he was giving her another chance, she responds to him with: "You're crazy".

If Daisy were an otherwise bad person and/or they had no chemistry together, then maybe there wouldn't be enough excuses in The World to forgive that tantrum. But Charlie made a grand, romantic statement here by saying "I think we're worth more together, than this thing and I don't want to lose that." Yes, it's extreme, wasteful, she was destructive, impulsive, risked losing him etc. but it was probably also a little exciting.

In Charlie's unique position and at his point in life, the trappings of his family's lifestyle were meaningless to him, without some kind of fire and real-ness, authenticity, in life. He knew he was in for a whirlwind of drama and passion with Daisy but that was the life he wanted.
