Why was Diane so upset?


When she showed up to the party and found Thornton in the hot tub, why was she so miffed? They weren't dating, and Thornton wasn't exactly banging any of the coeds, so what right did she have to hold snorkeling against him?

She felt he was fooling around with other women and she thought that Thornton was in love with her and her alone.

Meanwhile she's playin' the dorky professor guy.

Dude, are you actually trying to find logic in a woman's thought process?

Exactly right Rocky, my friend!
At times like this, I am often reminded of a line from "Camelot" King Arthur says, "Merlin once told me, 'Never be too terribly disturbed if you don't understand what a woman is thinking.....they don't do it very often.' But what do you do while they're doing it?"

"I can arrange for you a humiliating death. And, so we're on the same page, it will involve sheep."

I don't get it either...she goes on about how first men were too macho then they were too soft, he was just being his regular self, a facsimile of a man.

I totally came on to ask the same thing. What a beeotch. And she was actually dating Philip. So typical of a woman to act that way though. Well, some women anyway.

"I'm boring and my slide show EATS."

The one time I actually felt bad for Philip.

He had a date scheduled, his date shows up and walks by him and completely ignores him. He asks says in disbelief, "We were suppose to have dinner."

"I just had dinner"

"I don't believe this"

"maybe it's a dream...."

And to top it off, she blew him off for his nemisis.

Sure, he had it coming to him, but she's b*tch for doing that.

reply

YES! I came here to post this exact thing! There is NO reason for her to do that to Philip! Definitely wasn't cool with the fact that the movie advocated that kind of thing.

And this part of the post is just my signature.

lol again - don't feel sorry for Philip: he was a pompous jack-ass.. the actor who played him always specialized in a character of that sort..

Dr Turner is a satirical mock-up of an 80's 'liberated' woman - she got over the fuss at the party, and continued helping Melon - later, we see her tutoring Melon while they cuddle..

Previous to the party she had only been with Thornton in the classroom and maybe the night they came back from dinner. Remember when they were at the Italian restaurant he opened up about how much he loved his first wife. That was a serious discussion, and Diane probably never saw him as a womanizer, rather just being incredibly immature. I think when she walked into that party she expected to see him at least dressed and greeting his guests with a martini in his hand.

Diane was so upset at the hot tub scene because she thought that through poetry, she could actually tame the inner child within Thornton. Silly women, always thinking they can change the men in their lives!

Just saw this movie again last night for the umpteenth time and never get tired of it!

Obviously she had feelings for Rodney but hadn't expressed it yet. After all, why else would she go to a young kids' party like that?

She was falling for him and felt a bit betrayed when she saw him in the midst of all those women. She wasn't right to be mad, but then, isn't that rather typical of women?

Also, by how Rodney had been acting and how he was courting her (in a gentlemanly fashion), she thought he was more of a person than that. Seeing him in the hot tub with a bunch of bikini girls made him look like the typical guy who only cares about boobies and buns.
