Something More About Mary

As readers know, I think There's Something About Mary is the bee's knees. I was watching it yesterday and something struck me about the famous "zipper" scene. Ted is standing at the toilet, glancing sweetly out the window at two birds in a tree. They fly away and beyond them he sees his prom date, Mary, dressing in (presumably) her bedroom--and she sees him. He tries to zip up quickly, and this leads to trouble.

Think about this. Ted looks from the bathroom across a courtyard to see Mary in her bedroom. All I can say is that colonial in the suburbs has one funky floor plan.

I guess it just shows if things are working, you don't really notice these things.
