Further details
Maggie's three-week relationship is thriving-mostly. Pity she can't think of anything to say during phone sex; which is where Kate Winslet comes in. The actress, taking on the role of a nun during the Holocaust in the hope of winning an Oscar, shares her secrets for a good (phone) sex life. This turns out to be more harm than good and consequently Maggie's days of heavy breathing on the phone are over.
Andy is also spurned as he adopts the Catholic religion (and a rather fetching John Travolta-style suit) in order to get a date. Rejection turns to relief though, as Andy finds out his potential date doesn't believe in non-conjugal rites... 'In this day and age!'!
