$140 Taxi Ride


I thought Jane was an absolute a-hole in this scene. She initially offers the Taxi Driver $300 for the night but goes down by $20 every time he "peeks" at her. By the end, she gives her $140.

First of all, $140 would barely cover a round-trip from JFK airport to downtown Manhattan (which is usually a flat rate).

Secondly, she retained him for at least a few hours. NYC has VERY expensive taxi rates. Yet she only gives $140 - he would have made much more with the meter running. Jane is incredibly manipulative, but that is never really rectified in the movie.

300$ would have covered His time but he chose to keep looking at her while she was indecent reducing his payment. He knew the terms he chose to look instead of keep his money secured
