Jim and Amanda on the Rooftop, Explained：don't get me wrong

What's really going on

The tape made their younger selves audible, and the rooftop is where they decide what to do with them. Amanda is the one unsettled — "It's almost like I don't know who that person was on the tape" — while Jim insists, "I remember her really well," which is its own kind of confession. When Amanda asks, "Would you like to have some fun tonight?" and then, "Do you trust me?", the invitation sounds like more than games; Jim's "I don't know" is honest, and so is the follow-up that "it's been a long time." The answer they land on is silly and defiant — a chant of "Fuck the ice-cream" — which is how two people who can't say the real thing say it anyway.
