Uneasy waitress
When Eddie and Frankie were in the diner waiting for their sandwiches, the waitress seemed to be overcome by a sense of wariness or hesitation. Was she picking up on the two men's own solemn mood and jitteriness, or was it, understandably, that people were on edge knowing the fugitives were out there on the lam? The robbery was all people were talking about, including the unlucky gas station attendant and the three young men seated at a table in the diner. I also wondered if there was an attraction between Frankie and the waitress. When Frankie tossed the waitress what seemed to be a fiver and told her to keep the change, Eddie quickly realized that was a bad move, five bucks was a lot of money in those days and their bill only came to a dollar and some change; it was like saying, "I have money to throw away, because I'm filthy rich now!"
