Do Jamie and Paul admit mistakes?
Yes and no. Jamie doesn’t make too many mistakes, but when she makes a whopper [1.13], she admits it: Paul: “So, so, in other words…” Jamie: “You were right!” Paul: “But more importantly…” Jamie: “I was wrong!” Paul: “There you go!” A similar exchange ensues after Jamie rigs up an extra cable outlet with Fran’s help, and is found out [3.6]. Likewise, in the matter of the taupe shirt [2.17], Jamie admits that she was trying to prove a point and stops at Macy’s for a replacement blouse en route to Yoko Ono’s party. And she also admits her error to Sylvia in the matter of the printer used for the wedding invitations [3.13]. Paul is quite willing to backtrack in his arguments (about the fired urchin [1.13], the steamed fish [1.15], the first kiss [2.22] — “When you’re right, you’re right!”), and apologizes for his sulking in [1.6]. But Paul fails to admit a mistake when it matters most to Jamie [2.15], who expends most of her 10 minutes of a virtual reality experience to hear Paul end
