Or maybe you still love it, but now you have a different perspective.

    I think you are mistaking the desire to leave as a personal desire and not an obligation due to social pressure.

    The socond set of back and forth is all about other people’s expectations and then hesitsting.

    My mother will start to worry (beautiful, what’s your hurry?)

    And father will be pacing the floor (listen to the fireplace roar)

    So really I’d better scurry (beautiful, please don’t hurry)

    Well maybe just a half a drink more (put some records on while I pour)

      Watch the damn scene. She is trying to brush him off. She wants to leave, and he is not letting her. She is politely saying no, and he is politely forcing her to stay. Even if it is due to social pressure, let her fucking leave.

      “Well maybe just a half a drink more” is said when he has just snatched the coat off her back and is still holding it. Her face is a picture of resignation, not coy flirtation. She then asks “say, what’s in this drink” and puts it down with a scowl on her face.

      This is flirtatious by the standards of a Sean Connery movie.
