...wait, I thought they sort of were a couple--at least in the books (and in Spiral, the true sequel in my book)

Sort of.


So if that's true, that the only one I've seen in yonks.

sort of in that Mai later revealed that she and Ryuji hadn't actually been schtupping.

Or, for that matter, a sweet young lab assistant dating her professor, like Akiko and Murai in Attack Of The Mushroom People? I thought that might have been going on between Ryuji and Mai in the first Ringu picture, but I just couldn't be sure. She could equally likely have been a girl Friday type of thing. But her impish changing of the equation on Ryuji's blackboard suggested a certain level of intimacy, even if it was only mathematical in nature. And, you know, smart is sexy in some circles. But I digress...


In the film's sequel, it was clearly implied that Mai had a massive crush on Ryuji at the very least, but it didn't depict them romantically involved.

But it seems like she was doing his shopping for him.

The most recent take I've seen on the "I was expecting a man" was in A Few Good Men, when the attorney tells the defendant's Aunt Ginny that he was expecting someone older, and she tells him, "So was I."

I'm partial to the scene in The Taking of Pelham 1-2-3, where Walter Matthau finally meets NYPD Inspector Daniels: "Inspector Daniels? I thought you'd be whi---taller."

The Medusa Touch (1978):

Lino Ventura: "I was expecting a man!"
Lee Remick: "I was expecting an English police officer."
