In the beginning of the movie, she looked really sweet and honest. But then, after she knows her husband found that ransom money in the crashed plane, she shows her true colors. What a greedy woman! I mean, whoever hatches up a plan from her hospital bed after having her first child to frame someone on tape to make sure to keep the money for themselves??? And in the end, when her husband decides to get rid of the money by burning it, she tries to stop him because she wants them to keep it all. Seems like she was very greedy, she always had an excuse for her hubby when he found himself in hot water. She came up with most lies he told, and she's the one who found out about the fake FBI agent. What do you think?

Yes she was a very greedy and manipulative person.

Schrodinger's cat walks into a bar, and / or doesn't.

I could also see this as leading to their divorce later. She will never be happy again in their current situation, and he will get tired of her feeling that way. I can imagine "Honey I got us burgers to grill!" And she say "could have steaks if you didn't burn the money!" Lol

She seemed to be the brains behind everything, and even after delivering a baby in the hospital she instructs her husband to set up his friend and she in a way looks like the one with no conscience.

Y'know, I could eat a peach for hours

I disagree. She was just intelligent, like another poster said. They had already decided to keep the money, she was just making sure they wouldn't screw it up. In fact, I kind of admire her for sticking up for her husband like that after he did all the bad *beep* he did. Yeah, she made the wrong decisions too, but she wasn't the worst person in the movie. Also, anyone would act like she did in the end. After going through all that *beep* and all you really have left is that money, and then you lose they money as well. Would drive anyone crazy.
