Only during a recent watch (and maybe the first one I’ve done that wasn’t as a teenager on cable) did I pick up on the Brody undercurrent of “I left the big city to avoid this stuff”

So while previously I interpretered the scene as “I don’t have a good scar” I think it’s much more interesting to make it “I got shot and have a scar from it but it’s too real for me to joke about even during this intimate moment”

Totally! And Scheider gives you just enough in that moment to where you can imagine it being really traumatic or not.
