A Moment When Humbert & Charlotte Seem To Really Know Each Other


For the most part, this is a couple where the woman is trying to be on the man's level. He's intellectual and she's not. She wants him to know end and he wants... the title of the movie. But there's one moment I really like. When she tries playing a guessing game with him. He says, in a wry tone, "The Farlows got arrested?"

Charlotte then says, "Oh... Hummm."

It's a great little moment where these two actually seem, I don't know, comfortable, in a way. A terrific moment either way. I love for those after seeing a particular film on a loop.
