Go To

1!!What happened after Harold's mom found him and Sunshine?
2Had she continued to believe that Harold had stabbed Sunshine to death, she would have called the cops, and the movie would have been over for Harold. So she had to learn that Sunshine was still alive by ''seeing'' Sunshine alive.
3
4But Sunshine's reaction upon Harold didn't have to be negative or even as shocking as Candy's and Edith's because he failed to scare her senseless with a staged suicide. Anyway, Sunshine ''must'' have shown ''some'' reaction, and given her initial sympathy for Harold and her reaction upon his staged {{Seppuku}}, namely redoing her ''Theatre/RomeoAndJuliet'' act, this reaction was quite likely positive.

6So what did Harold do, what did Sunshine do, and how come we never heard of her again?
7
8!!What happened to Maude's train car home?
9
10Did Harold decide to move in, at least for a little while, in order to grieve for her death, and remember what he knew of her life?
11* It's outside the scope of the film.

13!!What is the blind date screening process?
14
15The first thing Harold's mother says is about it is "they screen out the fat and the ugly". None of Harold's blind dates is ugly, but Candy is decidedly overweight. Maybe the blind date service said that in order to shut Harold's mother up?
