I think that's her default expression.

Like my dad and I have a "mean look" for a default expression.

And I knew a girl with bedroom eyes . . . from the time she was 8 or so. It was just her default expression.

Well, considering what she is, she could just naturally be doe-eyed.

And, if so, that would tell us a lot about the males of her para-species. They'd be genetically pre-programmed to react to that sort of come-on, so we'd know that they're

magnificent baaaaa-stirreds, one and all.

Okay, you pay the balance.

(Dave places into the Pun Jar a rare recording of Tanaquil Le Clercq singing to the tune of "Afternoon Of A Faun")

Maybe the encounter is a prelude to a little afternoon delite

I bet y'all were expecting something completely different.

Now why in Starland would we be expecting that?

Stop talking about co-signing - you're going off on a tangent. What'as your angle on this?

My head was turned by the radians of her smile.

??? I'm still trying to figure out why you need a loan for a joint...?

Move up here to Washington- it's legal.

It must be a doozie!

I just thought of something else (besides the obvious Bryn is just like that and nobody who knows her acts on it as being 'overt'...) <--- actually that was an aside, what I meant to speak on was the common placing of two characters very close to each other in the Visual Mediums, whether it's print, film, graphics, etc- to accentuate the intimacy of the communication.

Its not meaning 'intimate' in the horizontal tango sense; you can do a close up of the heads/faces where they stand real close, or you can show one then the other, back and forth, to get a similar but different effect.

In this case I think it's just Pablo doing some creative framing of the active subjects...

There's a sort of counterpart of this framing exercise in "Indiana Jones and The Last Crusade". There's a scene where (in the theater version) Indy and his father are standing on either side of a table, looking at each other across it, and trading some dialog ("You mean"... "Yes"... "Then..."). You get to see their facial expressions when they're listening, as well as when they're speaking.

When the film was cut down for network TV broadcast, the 4:3 TV-screen version was edited to cut back and forth between the two characters (head and shoulders only) as they spoke. You don't get to see how one character is reacting to the other's words, until it's his turn to speak.

The two versions of this scene have a very different "feel" to them.
