Hair in bed + the girl at the restaurant

One thing I wasn't clear about.

So Faye finds that strand of hair in the cop's bed. In the next scene, she examines that cute girl's hair at the restaurant as if she recognizes it, and teases her about her hair. Faye is obviously jealous, and the cute girl looks uncomfortable. Either she's uncomfortable because she suspects that this girl Faye is "competition" and on to them, or maybe because her hair is being examined by a weird stranger. Maybe a bit of both. Anyway, I always thought that girl in the restaurant was pretty cute with a nice body, and was curious if the lonely cop was actually having a little fun with her on the side, and both Faye AND the audience wasn't being let in on that story. I think that would be interesting if he were sleeping with that girl, because otherwise he just seems like a lonely, heartbroken man who didn't have much of a love life. At least not the cop we the audience (and Faye the character) saw.

I doubt that he was having any affair with the other woman.

As for her looking uncomfortable, anyone would with Faye Wong's acting like a psycho.

...because otherwise he just seems like a lonely, heartbroken man who didn't have much of a love life.

That's it.

Don't lend your hand to raise no flag atop no ship of fools.

No, pretty sure the girl at the restaurant was just a random girl there. A server, or something.
663 wasn't talking to her and made nothing of Faye scaring her away.

The hair strand was the stewardess' he was with at the start of his story I'm pretty sure. Right after that restaurant scene, 663 "had a feeling she was back" and ran back home. I think the point was that he still wanted the stewardess to return.

I do think Faye was suspicious of the girl at the restaurant, though. Since he spends all his time at that restaurant now, Faye jumped to conclusions(or was just trying to tease 663 about the hair, though he'd have no idea).

But like the other person said, you pretty much nailed it on 663 being a "lonely, heartbroken man." How upset he was about the letter was supposed to show he took it very hard, as did his "I felt like she was back" moment, or his trying to find her(the stewardess, not Faye) hiding in the closet. He couldn't "let go."
