5. Macon Leary returns home at the start of the film to find his wife, Sarah, waiting for him with some bad news. What does she have to tell him?
From Quiz The Accidental Tourist
Answer:
She is leaving him.
Macon returns home from a business trip to find his wife waiting for him at the kitchen table. "You know I love you," she tells him, "but I can't live with you anymore." Sarah has rented an apartment downtown, and wants a divorce. Macon puts up a token resistance, but he doesn't seem very surprised by Sarah's revelation, as their marriage has been strained ever since the death of their son, Ethan, a little over a year ago. "Macon, I know you loved Ethan," Sarah says, "and I know you mourn him, but there's something so... muffled about the way you experience things - it's as if you were trying to slip through life unchanged." She informs him that she needs to go if she is to have any hope of making a life for herself after the death of their son.
