What did she wrap in the tissue?


When Bar first sees them during the school play (or whatever it was) through the blinds, when he leaves you can see her wrap something in a tissue type thing. What is that? I tried to see it but I couldn't make it out.

It looks like a cigarette to me, but I don't think I have a really good answer. This has always eluded me as well.

reply

I'd have thought it was obvious - it's a condom.

reply

Uh... who cares? It was obviously a cigarette. It looked very much like a half smoked cigarette!! And why would he be wearing a condom if he were getting head?

reply

Yeah, that's what I thought too about it not being a condom. Plus, I zoomed in and it's stiff (no pun) and not...ya know, saggy or anything.

You sure she wasn't catching his... you know? I can't remember a tissue in that scene.

reply

I could have swore I saw something stiff, like a cigarette but not a cigarette...I wish I'd seen it at theaters lol

I've just seen the film and I'm pretty sure it was a half smoked spliff. God knows why she would be throwing it away though...

lol

Yea I think it was a splif but why the hell they would be smoking that in a classroom you got me. Seems like a really bad idea with how distinctive the smell is and all.

Agreed, but Sheba did A LOT of things that weren't exactly brilliant or responsible! And yes, to answer the question, it definitely looked like a partially smoked joint.

I watched this film last night, went on IMDb found this thread rewatched that part of the film, went on pause, and this is my conclusion:

Definitely NOT a condom.
Not bodily fluids
Not a cigarette.
It rather looked like a spliff.Although a bit of a give away with the pungent odour. {so I am told}

Partially smoked joint or a cigarette butt. Take a look at the following picture.

Thanks very much for the picture! It looks more like a cigarette than a joint to me, but it could be either.

I asked the same question when I watched this with a friend.

reply

Never thought it could be anything else besides a condom.That´s why I like these boards, we open up our minds to check unseen details.

reply

why would they need a condom?

reply

Um hello? So that Sheba doesn’t get pregnant!

reply

Viewed this scene again by rewinding on on DVR and it is a partially smoked cigarette.

reply

A tailored or a roll your own?

reply

I thought it was the necklace Steven brought Sheba.

The necklace came a long way after after the first witnessed sex scene.

reply

A used rubber

reply

No, upscaled and viewed on 65" 4K TV it's most definitely a partly-smoked joint.

reply

nope. they wouldn't need a condom.
