— Desert Hearts (1985)

One of my favorite introductions to a character in a movie ever. It’s bad-ass and something I would steal borrow if I ever get around to writing a screenplay. Cay sees her step-mother’s car driving down the road so, of course, the logical thing to do is to put her car in reverse to have a chat. Also, Vivian, whether she wants to admit it to herself or not, is completely charmed by Cay at this moment and I don’t blame her. She never stood a chance.
