"At this point in the film,
Bill's character...
:02:26
has gone from a cynic
to a true believer...
:02:29
so he takes this situation seriously
and behaves like a professional.
:02:32
He shows real concern for this woman
we have come to like...
:02:35
and we know he's going to do
everything he can to save her.
:02:38
And the audience loves him for it.
:02:40
There are several funny lines
in the beginning of this scene...
:02:43
that never get the response
they normally would...
:02:46
because the audience is uncomfortable
in a suspenseful way.
:02:49
It's not really
until Bill and Sigourney...
:02:51
start wrestling around on the bed
that the audience relaxes...
:02:54
and feels comfortable enough to laugh."
