Two female characters, Lotte & Maxine, have several short exchanges in the film and are depicted in a love relationship at the end of the movie.

Surprisingly for the strength of the roles and actresses involved in this film, direct exchanges- even glances between to the two women, are limited. In fact, at least one of Lotte's "scenes" with Maxine is played through the vehicle of Lotte's consciousness inside Malkovich's body & Lotte's lines can't be heard by Maxine.
