* Really, much of the movie can be this due to BlackComedy and MoodWhiplash present throughout, when it's not horrific. Another good example is when Mary is storming out, she walks out the door only to come back in and get her suitcase, which is stuck under the bed, which Henry is still laying on. She takes an awkwardly long time to pull the case out, while crying, and you aren't shown what she's grabbing until she gets it and leaves, leaving Henry's confused expression to pretty much emulate the viewer's.
