I just got done watching this again, and I still find myself disappointed with some of the changes they made in this scene. As someone else said, Adam's monologue about art having a line. ("When Picasso took a shit he didn't call it art. That's whet made him Picasso.").
But the one that really gets me is the line where he calls her a heartless you-know-what. Here he says "fuck you" but in the original he says "up yours". I know it's just a subtle change, but to me the latter makes the line fe
I've looked all over the place, and can't figure it out, Wtf did she whisper in his ear? I watched the movie with the volume cranked to 11 and still can't figure it out.
I wish he would have done the entire section where he talks about art and how there has to be a line. That's an incredible monologue and they should have left that in.
I have to admit though, as deplorable and cruel as Evelyn's actions were, she's not completely wrong in her arguments. I absolutely love this play, if for nothing less than my previous comment. LaBute creates this piece that is so gray at times that you find yourself siding with the "wrong" person. And the acting is excellent, too!
@jaspar38 i concur. Although Evelyn was wrong to manipulate the man and defame him in front of everyone; she has a point. We live by a set of social standards in terms of appearance, I have showed this film and explained her thesis to many people and the majority of them thought that Adam looked good at the end of the film or claimed that there was nothing wrong with Evelyn turning him into a "better" person.
@collinpj After I made that comment, I watched Ebert and Roeper's review, and I think they made a great point. Everybody in the play does bad things. It's just a matter of who does "the most" or "the worse" bad thing that the audience considers the "bad guy."
In no way was she "messed up" in this film. She loved him for who he was. From the beginning of the film until the very end, she professed through action that she wanted things to be the way they naturally are. What she did to him is no different than what he ultimately felt for her... we always want things to be different than they really are.
@empress212nyc I'm sorry...it's just that I felt so bad that he had to go through all that...and I know that she loved him too...it's just that because of what was done to him, it seemed like he was just considered as an experiment or an assignment...my previous comment was what I immediately felt after watching this and also towards him....

@TaylorHolmes I think Adam says "I don't know of a single thing that's true".
I think I can distinguish Evelyn say... "you once said...... ten minutes..... " and something else.
If I could find a way to filter out the crickets chirping, that might really take the veil off of this scene.

@TaylorHolmes The audience doesn't find out in the play either. Interpret it however you will.
