I don't understand the part of the movie where Salma Is sitting on the toilet and Perry is in there talking with her and is obivously uncomfortable. Then later on you see him run out and she chases after him calling his name.
WHat is going on?
well u gotta see that they got married when they knew so little of each other...so he got uncomfortable and he figure he should give her some privacy...she thought that it shouldnt make him uncomfortable because that's his wife. thats what i understood from it.
OMG! THIS PLANE DOESNT EVEN HAVE A FILANGEE!
well, what do you mean as in what is going on? are you asking what's the point? because i think you got the jist of what's happening. i think that it could be showing a difference in cultures and having to accept something that isn't normal for one person....like my sister once told me how a caucasian female friend of hers felt uncomfortable when she was dating this filipino man who had two little girls, like whenever she would go use the bathroom, the little girls would come in as if it were nothing....i guess you can say that the caucasian side would see having conversation while using the tiolet is plain odd while the mexican side doesn't really care.

I think it has more to do with practicality than ethnicity. She comes from a supersized family so I'm sure bathroom privacy was nonexsistant. Mornings probably saw a brother showering, another brushing his teeth, and her on the "throne". He's an only child who's family probably had more bathrooms than they could use. I doubt he was ever allowed in his parent's bathroom. My exwife was one of 14 children in a Catholic Italian family. After we married she was always coming into the bathroom and engaging me in conversation while I was "busy" on the toilet. Would you say that Italians share bathrooms as a rule because of that? Latinos are not culturally disposed to sharing bathroom facilities. Just that this girl's family had to set modesty aside for necessity.

i just thought they were arguing and he got pissed off so he left
shareactually, the reason he got out was because she just got a wad of toilet paper to clean herself!!! He must have thought to himself "this is where I get off real fast"!!! Really funny scene.....

Hah! I never cared much about brushing my teeth but if my sister were Salma Hayek I'd spend 10 minutes doing it every morning while she was taking a shower.

You'd have to be married to understand. It's no big deal to walk in and brush your teeth or something while the wife is on the pot...of course, when it's time to wipe it's time to go.
-3 people can keep a secret, if 2 of them are dead
In the real world married couples share bathrooms all the time so for Salma's character it was no big deal to be in the bathroom at the same time as her husband. She obviously didnt think anything of it.
On the other hand Matthew's character being newly married to a girl he hardly knew wasnt quite comfortable being in the bathroom at the same time she was using the toilet so he tried to leave. She wanted to talk so she pulled him back in and he was willing to listen. When she grabbed the toilet paper Matthew's character thought hey this is too much and he left because he wasnt about to stay in there when she was getting ready to wipe.
I believe what the scene is trying to show in a funny way is the differences in how these two view their relationship and how they arent yet completely comfortable with certain aspect of married life but are working toward them as they get to know each other better.
When is this scene??? I dont remember it.
shareThis scene comes right after one of the funniest lines in the movie...
"In case you hadn't noticed...the White people are melting out here!"
heat up, till you sizzle. what a lovely way to burn you give me fever.
-That's all the time we have, thanks for playing.
I can't imagine being in the bathroom while my wife is doing her business and I'd feel very uncomfortable if she were there while I was doing mine.
I never knew anyone did this until I had a friend who said he and his wife would converse while the other used the toilet. I think it's just plane weird.
you have to appreciate the latino culture to understand. It's very natural to us to be free and unnhibited with our bodies.
shareI'm hispanic and have never known any of my relatives to do this. My friend was Irish or mix of something like that.
shareI don’t think it had anything to do with culture, IMO the propose of that scene was to portray the difference between the two of them. He is shy, but she just doesn’t care about stuff like that. The reason why she chases him is because she thinks that married couples do stuff like that, for her it’s normal.
I can imagine how uncomfortable he felt, I once had a friend over, we were going to a party after work, and we would get ready on my house because the place we were going to was near my house. So I’m on the bathroom putting on my make-up and she wakes in and does her business talking to me as if that was the most normal thing in the world, and I was like, “oh, my God! What the hell is she doing?”
The two of us are both female Brazilians, the same culture, for her it is normal to go in front of a friend, but for me it’s completely embarrassing.
That will be just nasty to have your wife doing a number 2 while your standing there with the noises and smells yuck!
shareI don't think it has anything to do with "Culture" or what race you are. Isabel figured that since they were married, they should feel comfortable going to the bathroom in front of each other and Alex obviously felt otherwise. So he stuck it out for a few minutes but when she went for the TP he was outta there! I know of many married couples who use the bathroom while the other is in there. White, black, hispanic doesn't matter the race, what matters is how comfortable a person is going in front of their partner. My boyfriend always wants me to leave the bathroom when I'm getting ready for work or bed so he can use it and I've started telling him "Just go! I see you naked anyway, don't be shy." He'll just kind of turn his back so I don't peek, not like I want to. Of course #2 is a different story, I won't stick around for that. My friends and I will even go in front of each other when we have had a few drinks!
shareI shared a hotel room with a Mexican dude once and the bathroom door didn't have a lock. One afternoon I was taking a shower and he just walked in like I wasn't there and started brushing his teeth, which I would never do if someone I barely knew was showering (I'm European).
