Setup, Setup, No Payoff? [SPOILERS AHOY]


In the opening scene we establish that our hero would like for his lady friend to reciprocate his efforts and give him oral sex. She declines.

Not long after, our hero goes to the babysitting job and sees the kids' attractive mom. He gets to know the kids a bit and then as the wife prepares to leave for her party, she eats a banana, an unusual detail and one that evokes fellatio.

About 2/3 into the film, we learn that the husband is cheating on his attractive wife, and we also learn that she probably knows. Now, the wife is established as a woman scorned.

Then at the end the married couple comes home, the wife leaves the room to tend to her children and the husband pays our hero. At that time, our hero stands up to the husband and reprimands him.

OK, so shouldn't that fellatio setup had a satisfying payoff? Seems that the sitter was in line to get some oral sex from the wife.

Maybe this was some cutting room floor stuff. Or just a sloppy narrative. Any thoughts?

Thanks! That's what I get for not bringing my glasses to the theater!

You know, when she started to eat that banana I thought 'ok, pretty obvious', but then it didn't go there. I was kinda relieved.
