I think they stayed together, but didn't get married.... I don't know why, but they just don't look they'd actually get married but they would stay together for the rest of their lives...
I think I'm losing what little sence I once had.

Well, Mercy said she she knew what was going on in her old 'hood, with "kids, belly hanging down, cockroaches in the cupboard..."
She didn't sound like the type who wanted to settle down.
They probably had a fling and she moved on.

What??
Uhhhh.... were you watching the same movie as I was?  :badgrin:

Mercy and Swan were two people who were thrown together by an intense experience-- they spent a night literally running for their lives together. Those kinds of relationships tend to end quickly, since they are rarely based on anything other than adrenaline.
Swan had it right when he said that Mercy was just a part of what was going on that night, and it was all bad. Swan knows what he wants; he knows that there's something better for him out there, and he wants to find it. Mercy, on the other hand, already seems more or less satisfied with and remorseless about the way she lives her life, so she will likely return to it, even if she doesn't go back to her old neighborhood.

I disagree.  Mercy and Swan bonded during the Punks fight.  He respected her more.  Granted it wasn't ideal dating, but what is?  Back in Coney, it was more obvious that they could make it, because all you need is love.

I think that HLS hit the nail on the head. You are exactly right. I was trying to say that but couldn't find the words.

I think they wanted to, but who can know? How-ever they spoke about that during the night. 8)
