It still doesn't explain how Wells completely crapped out on the Deus Ex Machina ending. I mean, seriously. A cold?
I was watching Ferris Bueller's Day Off with Magpie earlier, and finally clued into a line that I'd never quite understood. Ferris' sister says to an intruder through the intercom "I have my father's gun and a scorching case of herpes." Somehow I never connected the herpes mention to the scene just prior where she tells the 911 operator that she's very protective of her body and doesn't want it to be killed or violated. I'd never understood why such a thing would be relevant and just shrugged it off as 'I'm in a very bad mood.'
Magpie, who apparently hasn't seen the movie the whole way through, explained it to me. I felt a bit stupid.
