Can someone enlighten me? Couldnt he just leave her a note that said "meet me in the last bathroom stall?" LMAO. With a guy in such a time crunch you would think he wouldnt want to wait around for her to get a god damn stomach ache. Just leave a note to meet you where you want her to. I guess that wouldn't be very Brian Mills-esque tho - has to be as over the top and Spy-esque as usual.
The point: She just like her father was seriously predictable.His ex CIA partner told her at her mothers funeral that she would hear from her father again soon and said her father requested she do exactly as she had everyday of her very very predictable life.So she went to the gas station for the peach yogurt drink she gets every morning on her way to school.He had put a note on it that told her to drink it immediately and go straight to school.He had put something in the yogurt that would make her sick enough to throw up and timed it to happen there so that she would go to that bathroom at the time he was waiting in there allowing him to talk to her without getting caught by the ones following her.He didn't know she was pregnant and prob would not had done that if he did know.
If she was following his instructions about being predictable, she would have fought the urge to go to the bathroom, since she didn't normally do that everyday. She would have forced herself to stay in class despite extreme discomfort. In other words, his plan was logically incoherent, and he was counting on her to be unpredictable.
1. If you are about to get sick it doesn't matter you have to deal with it.What is she gonna do hurl in class? Considering she just got the note it could be argued that she knew he was about to go see her and was thinking less about her routine when she got sick. It is a movie you gotta suspend belief when watching these sort of movies. It looked like he killed or seriously injured a bunch of people when escaping them on the interstate and he just what walks away without a slap on the wrist? In real life he would go to prison. Kinda funny with all the rather ridiculous and implausible things in this movie the yogurt is what bugs you lol.

No, the yogurt thing just added to the ridiculousness. I understand suspension of disbelief but this movie pushes past that to the point where it gets to be sloppy writing, and people on this board are finding it hilarious - read some of the other threads.

agreed the yoghurt part is just sloppy writing to fill in the boring scripts... apparently not much research on spy espionage method had been done on this one,... that whole scene can be cut by bryan getting a new skype account and skype call her daughter.. problem solves..
The whole thing made no sense. Liam Neeson was just standing by the door in the girls' bathroom, knowing that at that exact time of day his daughter would drink the yogurt, which nobody else would've bought in the time he planted it to the time she bought it? I think some girl would've reported a creepy old guy in the bathroom before he got to see his daughter.
I can't see any father who loves his daughter as much as Bryan obviously does consciously making her ill just to have a meeting. Just as someone previously said, tell her to meet you somewhere at some time - BOOM - DONE!
The writers wanted a sort of brain-war between Neeson and Whitaker, so they forced that scene (ie- showing Whitaker finding the cup in the bin). Logically, he could have just told his daughter to meet her in the bathroom.
In addition, he didn't really need to meet her; the entire exchange was just a hug and "how are you"? It was an unnecessary risk.
