After a less than affectionate ending of a date, Olive was presented with an opportunity of redemption. ( in scene 25) Initially, Olive didn’t take too easily to admitting her falseness, in saying that she really isn’t crying and making up obviously false excuses for her tears, only the genuine favor of a male allows Olive to feel comfortable to redeem herself. This feeling of redemption isn’t only shown by the dialog in the scene, the music change from the previous scene from a colder electric guitar into a slower simple more uplifting music. Olive didn’t have to fully admit her fake adulterating ways, Ted had already assumed they were false. His assumption was based off of a childhood fake first kiss that she assisted in. Although Olive un-needing redeems herself, that is not the main topic of the conversation, rather more confessions are made. These confessions both uncomfortably, such as Todd admitting that his first kiss was Rhi, Olive’s best friend, this in away levels out Olive going on a date with Rhi’s crush, even though it disastrous. Feelings were also confessed, causing a minor amount of awkwardness, however this was hastily overlooked. Ending the scene is something that Olive is not used to, a man asking if he can kiss her, not offering money, or a need for status, rather a true gesture of emotion. Over all the scene is rather dark with nearly no face to face conversing , however when Todd asks for a kiss, the conversation transitions into face to face and the Todd’s face become more light than any other point in this scene. As Olive leaves Todd’s car there is yet another change in the music, the type but now louder, signifying her new power. These minor changes, signify the redemption in Olive’s life, gaining the ability to say no, even when a man is truly respecting her, a light is shining on the right part of her life, and seeing her face to face.
