Mark Dubois Alternate Ending
The change of conversation settled down Tom's thoughts as well, and it also helped that, with Lila speaking, he could sit, with beer glass at his lips, and eyes just barely visible over the rim, and listen, without having to utter a word. Which is exactly what he did for the few minutes until their meals arrived; his silence only broken by the occasional grunt of encouragement for her to continue, and forced laughs. Whether his wife had noted the tone that had accompanied his comment about hiking up her dress and fucking her on the table, the Detective wasn't certain, but he couldn't forget the images it had brought to mind. Simultaneously, he attempted to fight them, and keep the date as he'd intended it to be. A romantic dinner between a …show more content…

When it did, Tom Ross glanced around, and the creases lining his forehead grew deeper, before the expression on his face changed, and he cast his down to the place from where the noise emanated. Between his wife's legs. The Detective might not have been been the type of romantic to have purchased the gift himself, however, he was aware such toys existed, and with his ears attuned to the sound, and the knowledge of where it came from, the reasons for Lila's unusual behaviour swiftly catalyzed in his mind, and he suddenly jumped to his feet with with enough impetus to send the table crashing over.

Tom Ross wasn't even aware of the silence that enveloped the restuarant, or that every set of the customers eyes were upon them as he brought Lila up to her feet with them, and shoved his hand under her dress and between her

"Weak bitch, you created the monster, don't fucking blame me. It was your fault." The veins in his neck pulsed, and his face grew redder and redder, as he continued to tell, and he slapped her again before his arms were suddenly gripped from behind by two men, and the toy fell from his grasp.

The actions caused him to release Lila, however, the man wasn't finished, and his blood-shot, murderous eyes remained fixated on his wife, "It was nothing less than you deserved, whore,", as he jerked, fought and flailed his fists against the combined strength of the strangers who attempted to subdue him, The irony of the situation was that, for the time that night, as Tom smirked at her reaction and the swelling his slap had begun to raise on her cheek before he was finally wrestled to the floor, he'd gained an

    When he hears a bit of Robert’s tape, he says it sounds only like “harmless chitchat,” not realizing that this sort of intimate communication is exactly what his own marriage lacks. He knows that his wife has told Robert about him and has probably complained about his faults. This makes him feel guilty, insecure, and somewhat hostile toward both his wife and Robert. Only when the narrator closes his eyes to finish drawing the cathedral does he approach the level of understanding that his wife and Robert have achieved through their taped correspondence. This reveals the extent of his self-delusion and what he believes is what is important in a relationship. He assumes that because he can see, he is more capable of brining joy and happiness to his wife as compared to Robert. But the audiotapes show that there is a huge difference between seeing with one’s eyes and seeing with one’s heart. For the first time he is seeing, rather than…

    Tom wondered for what seemed to be the millionth time why Dectives were required to dress like wall-street bankers or stock analysts. At least that was the expectation in public, however the moment he had the office to himself, he unknotted his tie, slipped off the linen suit jacket, and undid the top button of his shirt, then sat back in his chair, raised his eyes to the ceiling, and tapped the tip of a ballpoint pen against his teeth. That was Tom's usual mode of concentration and contemplation, and so intent was the man's focus on the new case that all else slipped from his mind, even the recollection that he'd texted his wife. Therefore, the sudden familiar sound of her voice, accompanied by the enticing aroma of barbecue, startled him, and he immediately shot upright. The sight of Lila elicited a smile that only widened with the greeting and kiss. "Sorry baby."…

    While they are hosting a party in the New York apartment, Myrtle embarrasses Tom in front of everyone for stepping on her new dog. She completely emasculates him in front of all their guests and Nick. Tom does strike back later and hit Myrtle, but he looks immediately remorseful for having done so. The Tom Buchanan from Fitzgerald’s novel would not let it seem as if a woman had any semblance of control over him, including remorse for his actions. This change in Tom’s character is harmful to the observation of the story because the hate for Tom has not been created. In order for the viewer to want Daisy to leave Tom, the viewer must dislike him strongly. Since he has not been portrayed as an arrogant, mean, haughty and forceful man, the viewer doesn’t feel strongly enough against…

    Besides her intelligence, Daisy also sweeps her husband’s transparent affair under the rugs. With Nick not knowing the Buchanon’s very well, Miss Baker sheds light on the affair, saying, “’You mean to say you don’t know?’ said Miss Baker, honestly surprised. ‘I thought everybody knew’” (Fitzgerald 15) It becomes evident by her reaction that Daisy is no fool, either, after the telephone rings in the middle of the dinner party, and it is Tom’s mistress on the other end. “Tom frowned, pushed back his chair, and without a word went inside. As if his absence quickened something within her, Daisy leaned forward...” (Fitzgerald 14) But as if this were not apparent enough, the telephone rings again a short while after “The telephone rang inside, startlingly, and as Daisy shook her head decisively at Tom…” (Fitzgerald 15). Daisy is not as unintelligent as she wishes to…
