Extras, Silverman. They can't fake it so well and the music they add in such scenes comes later in order to record the voices.
So, when people dance in a series or a movie, they're dancing to music that isn't there. Some of them don't do it well enough.
Plus, you're supposed to focus on the lead characters. If everyone is dancing like mad, the shot gets too busy, I suppose.
And BZ, if a woman had told a guy she likes him and proposed the same way, I'd love her. But exactly in the same manner. I have a kid, I like you, you're good to her, I know you have someone, but I have to tell you this.
I would like her as a character in a drama and I'd like her as a person in real life. Because she would be using her honesty and still keeping her appropriate distance from actually hitting on the guy. So yes, I'd approve.
But you are giving me another situation here. You mention a woman trying to steal a man by underhanded tactics and only for sex. That has nothing to do with the situation in the series. Yes, such a woman would be a cunt.
And a guy who used dirty tricks (actual ones, not honesty) to get into a woman's pants even though he knew she did not want to, but forced her anyway, he'd be a major cunt too. Of course he would be. That's kind of a given.
What I am saying is that I don't find this man's tactics underhanded. I see an honest man who tried to make a romantic and slightly cheeky and cool proposal. He just told a woman who is involved he likes her and wants her.
He didn't try to ruin the other guy or actively make her angry at him or lie to her and he did not try to trick her into anything. For me to classify it as "trying to steal", there has to be something other than expressing true feelings.
He didn't force anything on her, neither did he imply any problems with her job if she did not accept. They had become friends by that point so his moves would not be misunderstood by her anyway. He liked her, he said it.
To me, that is a stand up person, be it a woman or a man, rich or poor, boss or employee. A lot of people drown their feelings or hurt others through actions because they are too scared to express those feelings. That's what I dislike.
There are people who let the ones they like slip away, sometimes even drive them away or to someone they don't really like, all because of their cowardice. They try to hide from the person they like and end up being dishonest to them.
A person who has the guts to tell someone they like them and speak in all honesty is the best person there is, in my opinion. They are true to their feelings, true to the person they care for and owe their confession to. I admire that a lot.
I guess it's a matter of principles and how one views things. We can't all like every type or person. Your principles and morals make him a cunt, mine make him a very decent person.
I personally prefer someone who is honest in such issues, even if it might cause awkward moments of rejection (and it's mighty brave of them to face those moments) to someone who keeps all that locked up and will always live with the "what if" and regret.
