Mother: So why were you with Jerry out in the middle of nowhere?
Daughter: I was there to meet some other man who gives me candies shaped like porcupines. He had a black station wagon. I wasn't there with Jerry. I didn't even know Jerry was there.
Mother: So Jerry didn't kidnap or rape you or anything? Cause I sort of just assumed he did.
Daughter: Uh, no.
Mother: Oh.. okay.

Mother: So why were you with my daughter out in the middle of nowhere?
Jerry: Well, your daughter told me she was meeting with some other man, and I was staking out your daughter's kidnapping. There were at least 8 police officers there with me, you can ask them yourself.
Mother: I see. I guess the ending to this movie is really stupid and doesn't make sense.
Jerry: Yes. Maybe it was good in the novel as an ironic twist or something, but it didn't work in this movie, because people just aren't that stupid in real life.

I think you missed the point.

"Mother" was angry because she realized that Jerry USED her DAUGHTER has BAIT. You know ?

This is why he built the swing for her daughter, you know near a road were everyone would see her.

The "Mother" came to this conclusion because the SWAT Team went to the gas station and stated that Jerry was losing it and used the DAUGHTER has bait.

THE KILLER DIED, Jerry went insane. Nobody will ever believe him!

I hope this helps.

I dont buy the "used as a bait" thing. He didn't start it, he just saw that she might be the next victim, and he didn't make the killer stalk her. The dress thing and later the giant story is all done after that, just to make the things faster and get the killer. Am I wrong?
