![]() When Paul wakes up, his friends are standing over him. He says the riddle is referring to him, and he finds himself on the swing. All of them are holding Paul back she claims, while she’s only ever wanted what’s best for him. She then accuses Cliff of trying to get her drunk so she was wasted all the time. Alice tells Paul that Troy was texting her for ages begging her to leave Paul (one of the secrets revealed earlier is that Cliff found Troy and Alice kissing at Cliff’s beach party eight years before, and never told Paul). They rush around the apartment trying to avoid the encroaching sunrise. Sam asks them all: what if the answer is not Alice but one of them? The sun is coming up, the rays worming their way into the room. Paul tells Alice the game wants him to say it’s her and send her to hell. If correct, we claim only the one, misdirect and all will become none. “I took your chance to succeed, lied about my every misdeed.Īttempts to cover done in vain introduced your truest pain.Īnd I who brought your doom, now stand in this very room. Sam tells her to sit down so they can finish the game, or they’re all going to die. As Cliff starts to read the card there’s a scream and Alice appears in the room, holding a cocktail and wearing a beautiful long red dress. Here’s how Alice appeared in Cliff’s house to start with: What drinking game is complete without a conga? He then finds himself back at Cliff’s, coming round after collapsing on the floor. They’re not, she replies as she walks away, but they aren’t bad people either. He tells her she’s not Alice - she laughs and shakes her head - and that his friends doesn’t deserve punishing as they are good people. ![]() He asks her if he’s dead and she asks him if he feels dead. He chooses himself, very gallantly, and ends up on that swing, in a meadow. Paul is there because with sunrise fast approaching (and chasing them round Cliff’s house) he has to either condemn the newly-appeared Alice, or someone else. Okay she isn’t his ex-wife, she’s presumably some kind of trickster demon. So do they all get sent to hell to play that damn (and literally damning) game for eternity? I’m not sure where Paul ends up as the sun rises, but it looks pretty nice to me: on a flower-entwined swing, with his gorgeous ex-wife Alice on the swing next to him. I’ve spent too long playing Hangman with my 10 year old, I think. You want to know the ending to GATLOPP? P. (If you’re looking for my review, it’s here.
