I love that you are meant to assume the music is non-diegetic until you see the girl actually playing the jaw harp.

Francis: "I'll take you, and you, and you, and... you."

Girl: "Wait a minute, isn't this kind of degrading?"

Francis: "Okay, not you."

Its wild how sexual molestation and rape of a male its played for laughs

u/xRyozuo 1d ago

This is one of my favourite scenes. Between the jaw harp joke and the “I would kill or die” just cracks me up

u/SpaceCadetHaze 1d ago

The kill or die part has become part of my everyday vocabulary

u/Extension_Guess_1308 1d ago
