See, I have a different read on the “so now you know” in the men’s room from Marc. That’s why it’s interesting to discuss and see the different takes. There’s a lot going on in this movie.
I see it as Marc going on the offensive, telling Kay “that time you jerked me off in the forest didn’t mean anything, nothing else is going to happen between us, so just forget it.” A one-shot thing.
Thing is, of course, Marc can't forget it....as you said, just seeing Kay and being around him is enough to get Marc thinking & wanting.
After the karate class when Kay says “if you do want to go jogging sometime....” he’s leaving that door wide open for Marc to walk through - but Marc didn’t say no....I mean, not that I saw...he just stood there staring after Kay. And then he went headlong through that door. I’d love to hear that phone call to Kay.
I read in an interview or critic’s review that after Marc covers Bettina with the blanket and leaves the room, you see him reflected in a mirror there: that’s when he splits himself in two; he makes up his mind to go to Kay, and that begins his double life.
