can someone tell me what happens at the end???


Please, can someone tell me what happens in the last 10 minutes or so of the film? I was watching it at a friend's house and had to leave before it was over because of an emergency.

Much obliged...

From seeing a picture on Laurence's wall she realises the connection between the three men and confronts them all to get an explanation which she doesn't quite get. When Laurence, the one person she really wanted a response from, stands there unable to say anything she just grabs her bags and leaves. He tries to follow but loses her. Feeling at the end of his tether, he goes into a travel agents to do what Martha did at the beginning of the film - buy a one way ticket to anywhere for £99. Anywhere turns out to be Iceland, but it turns out Martha was in the same travel agency and so Laurence gets a surprise soon after boarding his plane. Cue 'The End' and the imagination of a happy-ever-after in Reykjavik.

To add - After Martha wakes up, Laurence is talking to the shrink/contruction worker downstairs. She sees the picture of FD&L in his kitchen and thinks she has been set up. Martha tells Laurence to meet her for breakfast at the flower market. She also invites F&D. ALl three show up with flowers and a fight b/t F & D keeps Laurence from going after her after she begs him teary eyed not to "freeze" on her. (A good scene). He goes to the travel agent and has a shouting match with himself over losing Martha, which she overhears (out of sight), as she is there to buy a ticket as well. Meanwhile, F & D are at a club making jokes about Laurence showing up with flowers and suddenly realize they were for Martha. Remember-they didn't know, only Laurence knew the whole story. So...Martha pulls the same trick as Daniel on Laurence for the flight to Iceland...sir, you are the 100,000 the passenger to fly...she comes up behind him and covers his eyes with her hands and says "Iceland, huh?" beautiful smiles from both - finally some kissing - and ends with pulling down the shade on the plane window, he's says "between London and Amsterdam..." she says "we have all the time in the world". Ends with crappy 50 diner music. So they're basically off to Iceland for some screwing.

Any Questions?
