Noticed a very subtle hint at Mike's intentions during bar scene (spoil)


The last line of the lap dance poem is "and miles to go before I sleep".

Mike is supposed to repeat this line to Butterfly. When he sits down with her, he says "and miles to go before YOU sleep"

For those who have seen the movie, the girls drive off, and make it probably a few miles from the bar before Mike puts them "to sleep."

What do you guys think?

You misheard or are misremembering Julia's recital of the poem, because he said every line correctly.

reply

No, OP is correct. Just saw the movie last night. He did say "... before YOU sleep."

reply

Thanks, I just had a chance to watch it again to make sure I hadnt lost it, and sure enough, he says before you sleep

Julia says "before YOU sleep" as the last line when she's telling Butterfly about it. Mike repeated what JULIA said verbatim. The actual poem is irrelevant. Go back and listen to what Julia tells B-fly at Guero's.

This is correct. He said it as Julia rendered her version.

Reviewing the film right now. It stands up to multiple viewings. I still want to tell Rose's character not to get into that car...

How many times do they have to tell us before we believe them?

Seriously? Boring conversation. Not trolling; this is true.
