Speaking of Nate, he and Andy almost had a different future: in the ending that made it to the big screen, Andy and Nate's relationship is left open-ended, with the two casually grabbing coffee and hinting at possibly getting back together. "Yeah, she might have had another couple weekends with Nate, but you don't think they're going to end up together," writer Aline Brosh McKenna said of the final scene.
But McKenna had actually written a "more conventional ending" until the studio convinced her to change it. "The movie used to end with a slightly more upbeat scene with Nate, more of a reconciliation," she revealed.
