(1) At the beginning, the guy with the beard who drives the ROVs is talking about her life, how she was an actress, etc., and says that she (as I recall) “punches out a few kids”  
(2) Describing the sex with Jack, she says “it was the most erotic moment of my life. Well, up til then…”, implying she had better sex later  
(3) She says she has never told anyone about Jack, “not even your grandfather” (speaking to her granddaughter), and she sure seems to speak of him with love
