The filmmakers repeat the long-take strategy for the first half of the scene, thereby underlining the point that the Jo–Harry interaction is a recurrence of the Jo–Jimmy interaction, only to switch to a shot-reverse-shot strategy for the second half of the scene, thereby reminding us that the Jo–Harry interaction ends differently, with romance.
