I didn't say it was throwaway. The entire movie was improvisational. If he didn't like an improvisation, he had them do it again, sometimes he'd have them do a single line or expression over and over again until he got it the way he wanted. Perhaps this was the finest take of this scene or the worst or perhaps it never made it into the finsihed movie. Are you suggesting that this is a good way to judge Lynch's previous works, BTW? Because you're implying that you can judge all of the director's works by seeing one scene out-of- context... Of course, come to think of it, this DOES fit in with the way y ou come across in your posts here and on a.m.t.
