The first scene introduce the setting in a diner and Jake, the police, who just walked in through the door to Alanzo, from a long shot, the second police who we wouldn’t recognised sitting in the scene before Jake walked up to him, because he wears all black (except for the shiny accessory on his neck and hands) and kind of blend in with the background characters. At first I thought Alanzo was a quiet, anti-social guy, but next he speaks angrily to Jake after a few interruptions. Turns out he only interesting in the entertainment the newspaper gives him. Jake, in the other hand, appears at first with confident. But after he spoke to Alanzo and get told to shut up, his confident suddenly fall, and try looking elsewhere awkwardly and nervous, like a rookie meeting an expert. Jake wears brown coat that doesn’t standout which can show that he is not a very interesting person or that he’s not much different from other people with the same job.
Next, Alanzo tells Jake to tell a story. His position change from being small to being big as he is controlling the conversation. While Jake is telling a story, it cuts to Alanzo putting his hand across the half of the table while Jake backs to the sofa. The close up shot of Alanzo’s eyes looks blankly at Jake throughout the story, and when his mouth’s open, Jake stops talking in confusion. Alanzo interests in the non-important part of Jake’s story makes Jake pause to think for many moments, and out of nowhere, asks Jake to pay the bill for him.
Alanzo’s emotion can be visual by his car. When he starts his vehicle, it shakes so much similarly to his unstable personality. We also see in the next shot that Jake gets the effect from his emotion by being shake in Alanzo’s car. The music at the end indicates that there has been a weird friendship bonds between them.
