"In the Waiting Room of Estranged Spouses"
Two strangers, Spence (Garrett Hedlund) and Isabelle (Anna Paquin) have a meeting...in the therapist's office after discovering their mutual spouses are having an affair with each other.
Tropes
- Bungled Suicide: Spence tried to kill himself by crashing his car during the divorce proceedings. He fails and starts seeing a therapist.
- Imagine Spot: Spence, a former soldier, frequently imagines military procedures acting out his inner thoughts.
- Spotting the Thread: Spence realizes something is up with his wife claiming she needs to buy more sparklers for a party...when there's a pile of them on a nearby table.
- Token Black Friend: Spence has a black friend who only shows up to help him set up his dating profile. Isabelle's black friend at least gets two scenes (one at her home and one at the end).
