"I Saw You Erica!"
Since watching this movie, whenever anything questionable happens under our roof and outside on our property that nobody else seems to have noticed, our code phrase is, "I SAW you, Erica!" HAHAHA!

Hey Ruben,
Exactly! Did you and your wife also happen to notice Chili's most repeated line was, "Ginger says...."
And the boys most repeated line was, "Our Mom said...."
The scene you mentioned,"Tip big boys..." was something. Of course, she was in a terrific mood at that point - on her Xanax, guzzling wine, feeling confident, and babbling on adult type topics to a couple of young lads who were baffled by the answers to their questions/statements.
Lest we forget, she was also expecting an engagement ring the next day - her future all carved out with an appropriate partner for her standards, that she felt comfortable enough to take the boys out for pizza, sans Ginger, who was on a hot date with Al.
Little did she know at the appointed rock purchasing time, her former bro in law Augie would materialize out of nowhere and rain on her parade - to put it mildly.
Sometimes I wish there'd be a sequel. What are your thoughts?

I don't think the ending was THAT open-ended. To me, it was clear that her life is now stuck at rock bottom. She started the film as someone who was sectioned for talking to herself in public and she ended the film the same way.
What we saw in the 90 minutes between was her shot at picking her life up...and she sadly blew it.
There is nowhere else for her character to go. Her sister and stepson are moving on without her and we can only assume she'll spend the rest of her days in psychiatric care since there are no more friends or family who'll put a roof over her head.

I agree w/ Phil here . Ruben sees only what he wants to see as evident by his comments about the movie Carol you can see on the Carol imdb page.
Jasmine lost everything..her wealth...her home...her family and her mind due to her hamartia.
It's a classic tragedy.
This isn't a melodrama or a buddy comedy. Why does everyone assume that woody allen only does domestic comedies ?
A sequel would be inappropriate and weaken the premise of the entire film.

Yes. This script pretty faithfully copies....I'm sorry, FOLLOWS the plot of Tennessee Williams' classic A STREETCAR NAMED DESIRE, whose heroine (who wears Jasmine perfume) is finally carted off to the loony bin.
BLUE JASMINE ends with the same implication, because that's how STREETCAR ends.

Some have said that since noone ever actually met rich Dwight,,that he might have been a figment of her imagination.
