just proves the point...
that Andre's life was completely different when Rhonda was around. Had she still been alive when he was walking in/out the house, I am sure the old lady would have not called the cops because she would've trusted Rhonda's look and/or Rhonda would've vouched for Andre and the police would've believed her.
I think this scene was really important and interesting because it shows without Rhonda, others really look at Andre differently. So sad.
I like my world sunny side up!
