The scene with the kids and the $100.00 payment.


Please explain.

Hyde was paying compensation, maybe to avoid legal problems, for trampling over the young boy.

At first I thought he was actually going to kill the kid, but when he didn't I was surprised.

Come, fly the teeth of the wind. Share my wings.

This scene was how it was in the story too. Hyde seemed oblivious to trampling the young boy, and really didn't care.

Had he not been interrupted, Hyde likely would've killed the kid.
