This is a very funny and original scene. It's also interesting because the scene starts in a low key tone, with the two lovers holding hands on the bed, and we only find out what is going on when Fred takes out the gun and shows it to Marie. Then they start arguing on how to commit suicide and the tone becomes surreal.
