QWhat did Max and Juliet mean when they were laughing about 'bliss'?
AA few minutes earlier, Juliet told Max that she had hippie parents, and he asked whether she had a hippie name. She said no...her first name really was Juliet. He asked her middle name, and she wouldn't tell him. Later, as they were sitting on the park bench drinking coffee, she answers his question by saying, 'Bliss (is my middle name)', and they laugh because it was, in fact, a hippie name, as he suspected.
