Baby still jumped to bed with Johnny..


after all the trouble with the abortion? Shoudn't she have known better by then?

reply

It's a good point, although I'm not sure why you put it all on Baby. Johnny was also there. He should have known better too.

I'm sure if the movie had been made a few years later, they would have shown condoms but at the time, well it was a different era.

She trusted Johnny and knew he wasn't a creep like Robbie. Hopefully she had enough sense to use protection. Johnny being the paid gigolo he was probably had some in his apartment.

People keep saying that Baby was probably smart enough to use protection. Unfortunately, there was no protection for women back then. Best that she could do was to insist Johnny to use a condom. The pill didn't become available until the mid 1970's.

A condom is protection.

At first I thought it 'odd timing'. But like others mentioned here, I assumed that Johnny knew more than enough to use condoms.
And that Baby, seeing what happened to Penny, would insist on it anyhow.

Yes

I always laugh when Baby is playing like checkers or chess with her dad during a rainy day and suddenly without saying anything she just gets up, puts on her rain coat and heads out the door. Next scene is her laying in bed with Johnny, ha. Yeah lets see here playing this stupid game with dad or go get laid.

reply

Wait, hold on a second. Who the hell said she isn't pregnant by the end of the movie?

reply


Well, I suppose that's a possibility.

I think it more likely that the experienced Johnny always bagged his rascal, and maybe even double bagged after the fine predicament Penny got herself into..
