| Navorski: This man has you. Why he needs...puzzle? Amelia Warren: This is my problem. I always see men the way I want to see them. (Warren has a love affair with a married man, with whom she just got off the phone. She is quite unhappy. She's talking to this Navorski guy about her and the man. ) I'm not sure of specific meanings of the bold parts. home team: referring to the man and his wife??? room service: ??? do the crossword puzzle: I guess it does not mean what "do the puzzle" usually mean. Then, what is it? Could you please explain to me? Thanks for help. |

| Haven't I given enough context for you to understand the dialog, or is that something like a "taboo" subject on this forum? Whatever it is, please tell me. I think I could keep that in mind next time when I try to put up a post. |

Having said that, I will explain what I can, even though I have not seen the movie. I am rooting for the home team. A home team in sports is a team that is the host of a given sporting event.If it's Seattle Seahawks playing against another NFL team, their home is Seattle. If I live in Seattle, I will be obviously rooting for Seattle because they are my home team too. Home team here means a family, one unit. Watch him do the crossword puzzle - Why he needs...puzzle stare at him over room service...I am not sure about that one. The room service comes in and she still keeps staring at him unaware of others being there? He asks her about the crossword puzzle because maybe he feels that she should have his undivided attention. If they meet in a hotel and he keeps himself busy doing crossword puzzles instead, it doesn't sound like he is trying hard enough to make her his priority. Again, it's a guess. I haven't watched the movie. |
