Creepy guy at the bar...

No he saw an open stool next to a good looking lady and slithered on in there. He kept trying to catch her eye and open his mouth to say some lame greeting but her focus was on the fight on TV. I especially love it when she slammed her beer down and said "Get in there!" or something and it spattered and he was kind of taken aback. She totally shot him down without meaning to and that is the best part about that scene- she did it without even knowing he was there and he was all crestfallen. I agree though, the guy was creepy....

I think what you're talking about is the result of editing.

So here's how it works. The script calls for a scene with Evangeline to be sitting in a bar next to a guy who is either her date or a someone she's friendly with. The fight is on TV in full view of her. The director then calls for different cuts of her following the fight with increasing enthusiasm.

First cut: Director tells Evangeline to make some expressions and the actor to sip his beer

Second cut: Same thing except now the director tells the male actor to look at Evangeline

Third cut: Variations on this sequence

The next shot has Evangeline watching the TV and looking more excited than the last one.

First cut: Director tells Evangeline: "Ok Evangeline, now start jumping up and down a little in your chair." Director tells male actor: "Show some interest in the match on TV just to be polite to Evangeline, who is a potential pickup for you."

Second cut: Same thing except now he tells male actor: "Watch the TV a little, then glance at Evangeline to see if she's more interested in the match than she is in you."

Third cut: Same thing, with some variations of both.

This goes on for probably several more shots.

After this scene is shot, which probably took 3 hours, the director now has probably 50-100 different cuts of what I described above. These various shots get sent to the editor at some point during postproduction. The editor now has to splice together a 10-second scene from all of these cuts, with the director possibly sitting beside him and picking which of those various cuts get thrown together.

As they work together, the director may discover that most of the shots he feels turned out best--probably because he likes Evangeline's expressions in those particular cuts--just happened to involve the male actor glancing over at Evangeline. It looks a little funny when spliced together, but it's worth it because Evangeline is the focus of those shots and she has best conveyed the emotion the director is looking for in those shots.

So that scene gets put in.
