The realtor basically calls Colin a homo to his face, or just maybe…….

Right before Colin signs the papers to officially move into his new place the realtor asks him if he’s a married state police detective, “….cause it’s kind of a big place….” to which Colin replies, “I have a co-signer.” The realtor replies, “ohhh….if you tend to have a house guest…”
To which Colin quips back, “Just give me the papers!”


So I always took this as the realtor taking a condescending dig at Colin’s profession, (so you’re a single, blue collar worker, how can you afford this place, you don’t belong here sort of thing…) and maybe this is what Colin thought as well as he mentions he has a co-signer, but after more than a few repeated viewings I feel that Scorsese was really trying to hammer home the possibility/probability that Colin was a latent homosexual or at the very least, add to the mounting pressure that he was under by compounding the numerous psychological strains he was juggling, which were very clearly beginning to overwhelm him, i.e., being under the thumb of a psychotic mob boss, and everything that comes with being a state police detective, holding down a relationship, performing in bed…., all while probably being a closeted gay man.
The realtor didn’t give a fuck about Colin’s financials, nor his profession, he was a homophobic asshole and was taking a dig at Colin’s sexuality, basically calling Colin a homo to his face.

Or, just maybe he was taking a pass at Colin??? He could have been testing the waters, right?

Anyone one else catch this, thoughts?
